Chapter 919 Ji Zijuan Jiang is old and spicy (please vote!)
Seeing the strange expression on Feng Ziying's face, Zhu Zhiren felt a little proud and a little sad.
Why doesn't he want to show off his power and sweep away these gentry who are bound to him? But does he have the solid background and resources of the other party?
Just because of insufficient tax revenue, he was already in dire straits and his official title was on the verge of falling. How could he dare to take such a risk?
Maybe before you make a move, the censor in the capital has already come to stare at you. If the kid in front of you doesn't have Qi Yongtai as his backing, Qiao Yingjia as his backer, and his father as the finale, how dare he be so presumptuous?
He could even guess vaguely about the relationship between Bing Bei Dao and Feng Ziying. It was said that Feng Ziying's father-in-law, Shen Jue, who is currently the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, is very likely to be promoted to the position of Zuo Counselor, Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy, from the third rank.
Not to mention anything else, as a senior official who may enter the Third Division of Shandong Province in the future, the part-time Dezhou Bingbei Road must be given a bit of favor. Otherwise, how could the person there be in Dezhou? Can it be sent to Ji Town?
Putting away these unwarranted emotions, Zhu Zhiren changed his tone: "Okay, Ziying, I think you are confident. In that case, just do it according to your intention. But it's stolen goods. Please think carefully about it, don't If something goes wrong, if it really belongs to Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Beijing's caravan, hehe, this matter is really troublesome..."
Feng Ziying also found it troublesome.
Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Beijing entered Liaodong and purchased so many top-quality furs and ginseng antler at once, and the investment was definitely not small.
He has seen those furs, including sable, fire fox, black fox, white fox, and blue fox. Any one of them can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and the good ones are estimated to cost thousands of taels. Even if it is purchased in Liaodong, it is estimated that it will only cost a few hundred taels of silver. It won't be less than one or two hundred taels of silver a piece, and the wild ginseng is also a life-threatening top-grade product, so it's also very expensive.
All the reports will be handed over and returned. Let's not talk about whether people admit it or not. Well, such a large amount is very different from the number when the case was reported to the Lulong County Yamen. I am afraid that the impact will be on Prince Yi Zhong and The Prince of Beijing County may also be unwilling to admit it due to material issues.
This liaison with Mongolian or Jurchen hats is an unbearable burden for Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Beijing. If not, where else can such a large amount of furs and ginseng antler be obtained besides Mongolians and Jurchens?
Is it North Korea? It's impossible even if you think about it.
“Sir, what do you mean...?”
Feng Ziying also found it difficult and asked.
“Well, during the search and inventory, did anyone else find out about it?” Zhu Zhiren asked in a deep voice.
“Well, a few government officials and sergeants discovered it, but they didn’t know the exact number. It was my people who were counting and making records...” Feng Ziying hesitated.
"Well, the Lulong County Government Office must have the specific number of cases reported at that time. They can check them one by one, pick out the ones that match and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishments. As for the others,..." Zhu Zhiren pondered for a moment, "Ziying, what do you think?"
Feng Ziying cursed the old fox in her heart, obviously she was moved, but having said that, the count was indeed in his own hands, and at the Lulong County government office, he had already asked someone to collect the file information, and it was only about 30% of the actual amount. , which also means that more than 60% of the property has become unclaimed.
“I will naturally obey your orders,” Feng Ziying said quickly.
"In this case, Ziying must also give an explanation to the border army. What does Ziying think of the reward at a discount of 30,000 taels?" Zhu Zhiren was very satisfied with Feng Ziying's submission.
“Well, two hundred people should be satisfied with this trip, and even the superiors over at Jizhen should have an explanation.” Feng Ziying nodded.
"The remaining half is turned over to the government treasury. This year our tax collection and retention are not satisfactory. I'm afraid we have to use this to offset it, so that the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War can look at it differently. In the past few years, I, the prefect, have been very trembling. . In addition, the three squads of government officials in the mansion must also be appeased and rewarded, otherwise the next work will not be easy and they will have to work hard. Of course, Ziying, you can choose the reliable ones for preferential treatment..., and you also have to If you plan to recruit people to form a people's stronghold, the training expenses are very small, so you can also consider this,..."
I have to say that this person is very thoughtful. Of course, there are some things that he will not say out loud, and Feng Ziying has to understand them by himself.
Feng Ziying, who returned to her mansion, immediately called Wu Yaoqing and Feng An.
There are too few people available around Feng Ziying. Feng An and Fengtai can only do some simple or force-related work. For the real details from planning to execution to supervision, Wu Yaoqing is needed.
This system was relatively sound when they were in Yangzhou, but as they left north, the original system basically fell apart. Although they were very optimistic about Feng Ziying, it did not mean that the people below were also so optimistic, not to mention the salt patrol from Lianghuai. There is a huge gap between the imperial censor and the Imperial Academy.
And now it is also difficult for a colleague in Yongping Prefecture to get people to work for him. Compared with the prosperity of Yangzhou, Yongping Prefecture is like a rural market town.
Before there was enough manpower, Wu Yaoqing could only do everything by hand. Fortunately, Feng Tai and Feng An could also do some things, but for the delicate and complicated work, Wu Yaoqing had to do it himself. Feng Ziying was not suitable to take part in many things. of.
“After the inventory is completed, Yaoqing, please take out some of it as appropriate. Well, the specific number is thirty or fifty pieces of fur and similar ginseng antler. Just take the gold sand directly,..."
Feng Ziying thought about it and weighed it up. Zhu Zhiren must have a copy. People said it so high-sounding and considered it so thoughtfully. If she didn't understand the taste, it would be inappropriate.
As for the others, Feng Ziying really didn’t dare to give it casually, and there was no need.
"In addition to clearing out the records of Lulong County Yamen, plus what I just said, prepare about 30,000 taels of gold sand and leather goods as a reward for Ji Zhen, and the rest will be registered and registered with the third class Yamen servants. We will also give rewards as appropriate, maybe more generously, and they will have to contribute in the next step..."
“Uncle An’s side is a bit harder. I ask him to keep an eye on him until he enters the treasury, so as not to cause trouble...”
"Sir, the Liao family's side...?" Wu Yaoqing knew that the Liao family's side must be true.
"Don't be too harsh. Give them a way out. The other two families, the Jian family and the Mao family, ask the Liao family if they are willing to perform meritorious service and atone for their sins. As long as they show up, everything will be easy..." Feng Ziying nodded.
Wu Yaoqing understood immediately and nodded happily: "This method is very good. Let them bite each other and destroy the trust between them. The next step will be to clean up the hermitage or the land. It will be useful."
Feng Ziying feels that it is really convenient to have a staff like Wu Yaoqing. Before, she was worried that Wu Yaoqing would not be able to give orders like Wang Wenyan. Now it seems that she still underestimates this group of people.
Gu Dengfeng and Qian Guisheng are also talents, but their current structure is still too small to fully utilize the abilities of these people.
Jia Yun came with Gu Dengfeng.
As the chief shopkeeper of Haitong Yinzhuang Jingshi, Jia Yun is dressed in a dark purple robe and looks graceful. She has completely lost the abject look she had three years ago. As her life gets better, her whole person seems to have been reborn, full of energy and vitality. All very different.
Even if we compare him with Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu now, he still does not fall behind at all, and is even better than Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu. Jia Rong is too greasy, while Jia Baoyu is too raw and tender.
Jia Yun came to Yongping naturally for the development and construction of the coal-iron complex.
Since Zhuang Limin and Wang Shaoquan were ambitious, they simultaneously launched the construction of large-scale coking and iron-smelting blast furnaces in Qian'an and Lulong, and invested a relatively large amount of money.
At the same time, according to Feng Ziying's instructions, local abundant limestone, clay, **** powder, and gypsum can be mixed and calcined to make home-made cement. The combustion temperature increase brought about by hydraulic blasting and preheating has not yet had time to be used in smelting. Iron was first used in calcining to make cement, but this rough and extremely polluting production method was particularly advanced in this era.
This process is so simple that even a science and engineering scumbag like Feng Ziying can roughly understand it, but the difficulty is actually to increase the calcination temperature to 1400 degrees.
This kind of home-made cement was produced even before charcoal coking. When a group of people experienced the effect of this cement for themselves, their eyes almost bulged out.
Although there is no patented technology in this era, both Wang Shaoquan and Zhuang Limin have a deep understanding of the innovation brought by this technology. This kind of adhesive can be quickly condensed into a bond after being mixed with water and dried with sand and ash. A new thing that is extremely powerful and hard. Even if you think about it with your feet, you can understand how versatile it will be.
It’s just that although this kind of thing has a wide range of uses, the technical requirements are not low, especially the high-temperature calcination, which requires skills in the design of the furnace and the coordination of the blast facilities.
For now, Feng Ziying does not want to spread the business. He prefers to expand the iron smelting business first, and then consider other things.
Wang Shaoquan, Zhuang Limin and others also agreed with this. After all, once this thing is learned by others, the losses will be too great. How to ensure that the super profits brought by this new thing are in their own hands still needs to be Haosheng thought about it.
"Okay, let's go to the top. Since everyone understands the interests here, I believe Wang Shaoquan and Zhuang Limin also know what to do, including temporarily blocking information from other Shanxi merchants. However, once the iron smelting sites in Qian'an and Lulong If the base can be fully constructed and meet our expectations, then the road from Qian'an and Lulong to Yuguangang will probably be taken into consideration, and this new gadget is undoubtedly the best practice." Feng Ziying said enthusiastically .
