Chapter Forty-Eight: Rushing to Donate Money
"The Legend of Cultivating Immortals in the Infinite World" went to Sanjiang, and I begged all the brothers to vote for a few Sanjiang votes to support it......
It's just that some people have quick brains and are willing to think, carefully understand the meaning of Shang's father's words, and deeply understand the spirit in it. Someone hesitated and said, "Father Shang means to let us raise livestock like farming......
Master Wen looked at the man appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's the reason!"
Although everyone wondered in their hearts, they no longer dared to make noise in front of the Wenda Heavenly Master. These cattle, sheep and horses are not crops, can they grow when they are buried in the soil? Or is there some immortal method that Shang's father can't do?
Master Wen said with a smile: "Everyone knows that this animal and other things. It doesn't grow in the soil, but the grass can be grown like a crop!"
As soon as these words were said, many people immediately reacted. Yes, it does. It's a very simple truth, but many times, people are used to it, and they can't turn a corner at all.
Wen Da Tianshi still remembers that when he was a child, he heard a joke. Someone in Africa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his discovery that it was possible to spread manure into the field as fertilizer to improve crop yields, making a huge contribution to increasing food production in Africa......
Sometimes the blind spots of inertial guidance are really scary. But once you can break this layer of window paper, the benefits are just as huge.
"The Hu people need so much pasture because they have to be nomadic everywhere. Like locusts, they eat up the pastures in one place and eat in the next. And aren't you going to grow your own grass and raise it in captivity?"
Master Wen picked up a beautiful plant with small purple flowers and said with a smile: "Alfalfa, but it is the king of pastures. Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he was brought back from the Western Regions by Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang!"
Among these people, there are also Botong allusions, and they suddenly remembered the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Large-scale cultivation of alfalfa to feed war horses. The Han family has made several large-scale expeditions, hundreds of thousands of war horses, defeated the Huns, and conquered the Western Regions, isn't it just relying on this thing?
One by one, they were all excited, since there is a precedent in history. It was the immortal Master Wen who said it again, and this thing must be true. One by one, I was excited to go back early and plant alfalfa and other pastures.
Naturally, Master Wen was not so kind-hearted, providing these businessmen with ideas to make a fortune. Since ancient times, there has been no business and no treachery.
Maybe there will be some real righteous businessmen in the group of businessmen, but the whole group will not be a good bird. In all dynasties, the prevention and crackdown on these guys is not just out of discrimination against business.
Like me, I'm brilliant and bright. It was almost ruined by the merchants. The betrayal of the Jin merchants has long been decided. In later textbooks, the so-called righteous actions against the eunuchs' boycott were numerous.
Now in fact, to put it bluntly, that is, I don't want the imperial court to collect commercial taxes. I didn't even want to pay such a low commercial tax as the thirty tax, and the imperial court couldn't collect the tax.
A mean and shrewd Emperor Jiajing was born, and he simply sent eunuchs and domestic slaves to collect taxes directly. As a result, the merchants were annoyed. There are many cases of collusion and trouble.
And those literati who are attached to businessmen are desperately spreading rumors and smearing. Whitewash such things as righteous acts.
It turned out to be a dime of the merchants. Wait until the Manchu Qing Dynasty goes south. was killed, and the head was rolling. Don't say it's family wealth, even your head isn't your own......
It is the future generations, the so-called capital has no borders. Since there are no borders, it is natural that there is no talk of patriotism and loyalty. If something really happens, these businessmen are absolutely unreliable, and they can leave with a pat on their buttocks.
On the contrary, in the past, those feudal lords and nobles, whose land was in the country, had to fight to the end with foreign forces in order to protect their own interests.
Things are often like this in the world, and there is no worst. Only worse. From the beginning to the end, Master Wen did not have a good impression of such things as commercial capital. It's just a temporary need for them!
Business needs to grow. It is more necessary to control zhì.
Wen Da Tianshi looked at the elated guys below and coughed lightly: "Now that the imperial court has exempted the world's taxes, it has experienced several wars. The letter from the head of the household department complained to me, saying that the treasury was empty and could run away. Now that there is a great disaster in the north, what should I do with this disaster relief money and food? Why can you teach me?"
"My family has long had the heart to serve the court, and they are loyal to Shang's father. Since Shang's father said it, my family will repay 300,000 yuan. ”
"What a big breath, only 300,000 yuan, dare to call it so loud? I am the most loyal to Shang's father, smashing pots and selling iron, and I also want to make up 300,000 stone of grain!"
"Hiss......" Mo said that the guy who spoke was triumphant and looked forward to his pride. Even the guys around him who heard it gasped one by one.
Originally, in terms of money, these 300,000 stone grains were about the same as 300,000 yuan.
But unlike copper coins, in ancient times, grain was a hard currency that could not be harder. Especially in this year of catastrophe, food prices have skyrocketed.
Originally, the price of grain rose to about one stone, and it is possible that it will rise to two or three times in the long term. At such a time, it is really ambitious to come up with so much food.
Master Wen was really overjoyed, and personally asked the person's name, which can be regarded as Jane in the Sacred Heart. The man was overjoyed, and the others were not to be outdone, and donated food.
That is, in the blink of an eye, the Great Heavenly Master of Wen gathered nearly two million stones of grain. It is enough for the disaster relief of the Heavenly Master of Wenda.
Speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty is actually similar to the national dynasty, the court is rich, the big merchants and nobles are rich, but the people are promoted to fight the small people, but there is no money.
Except for the city of Tokyo, the people in other parts of the Great Song Dynasty had a very difficult life. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, almost all kinds of rebellions and uprisings have never been stopped.
It's just that the system of civil government in the Great Song Dynasty has developed to the fullest, and the administrative efficiency has almost reached the peak of the feudal era. On the whole, the situation in the country has remained quite good.
As Master Wen came to the Great Song Dynasty for longer and longer, the more he learned about the various shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty. Originally, many things that were only seen in the materials of later generations were always superficial on paper, but now that I have experienced it myself, I can feel why from Fan Zhongyan to Wang Anshi have been shouting for change.
This is comparable to the disadvantages of the national dynasty almost up and down, and the sound of changing the law has never stopped, but there has been no major movement for a long time. This kind of thing has always been a dilemma, one is to find death, and the other is to wait for death!
It's just that these characters, although they are all heroes of the moment, are not as powerful as the Great Heavenly Master now. Moreover, in the opinion of Wenda Heavenly Master, many things in Wang Anshi's changes were too reluctant.
Throughout the ages, those who want to change the law no longer have the prestige and power of the Great Heavenly Master. Such a popular public opinion, such a dare not be confronted. If Master Wen went back to preside over the change of the law this time and failed, then it can only be said that Master Wen is too stupid!
"Your loyalty to the imperial court, to the official family and to this Heavenly Master, this Heavenly Master has seen it. ”
The words of the Heavenly Master of Wenda made these businessmen rejoice. I thought in my heart that their movements this time were still too small.
The southerners mobilized collectively and served tens of millions. And this time, they, the merchants in the northwest, also donated two million stone of grain. Although food is more important, the amount is not so good to say.
Fortunately, these merchants are only operating in Lingxia, and there are more northland merchants who are also waiting to serve Shang's father, and I think that in the end, this result will definitely not be weaker than that of the southerners.
All of a sudden, all these merchants rejoiced.
But I heard the Great Heavenly Master Wen say: "This Heavenly Master returned from cruising all the way from the North Sea, and saw that this land outside the Saiwai also has a lot of fertile land that can be cultivated. Even the pastures are also very numerous, and you share the worries for the heavenly master and the imperial court. Naturally, the imperial court will not forget it, and this land outside the Saiwai will be allocated to you when the time comes!"
"Long live the Heavenly Master, long live the Emperor......" Hearing such good news, many people became a sensation.
Wen Da Tianshi sneered, these businessmen can still be of great use now. Especially against these nomadic Hu people......
"Tezkapolipoca, we're in trouble!" Ushirumani approached Wen Fei with a worried face.
Wen Fei smiled: "Don't worry, say something slowly." ”
He had just come out of the spirit realm when he heard Ushirumani say this. But he wasn't in a hurry, he just comforted Ushirumani and let her have something to say slowly.
"We've got this little tribe all dead, Tezkapolipoca. That tribe had just been divided into the land of the Imanadarotu tribe. Now many people are rumored that Imanadarotu has returned and launched a revenge to make the tribes who have been allocated the land feel terrified!"
In order to buy people's hearts and minds as much as possible, the Celestial Master of Wen divided the land that originally belonged to the Imanadarotu tribe to several other tribes.
Interests have always been the best way to win people's hearts, helping Wenda Heavenly Master to control the whole situation. Now that this evil ** thing has appeared, it is needless to say that it must have shaken those wall grasses again.
"Oh, Imanada Rottu, that guy has such guts?"
This guy just fled in panic like a lost dog, and was also chased and killed by the Red Spot Clan sent by the Great Heavenly Master Wen.
