Chapter 188: Profit sharing
Hearing Tong Yangjia's words, Hai Shuzu didn't react for a moment and asked, "What does the magistrate mean?"
Lu Shiyuan next to him quickly said Tong Yangjia's meaning.
Hai Shuzu didn't expect there was a large iron ore in Qiongzhou Prefecture, so he was happy to work together. You should know that iron ore is money. The price of pig iron in Guangdong is rising unreasonably. There was no way before, but this time I heard Tong Yangjia say this, but I still disagree.
Hai Shuzu thought about it, and he also felt that Tong Yangjia, a bullshit prefect, had not had such courage to take out the official iron ore and divide it privately. In case, he should ask who his backstage was.
Hai Shuzu asked: "Master, since we want to invest, can we explain the details? You must know that the mine is a royal industry, and it is okay to make small fuss. If large-scale mining is not allowed to prevent the Jinyiwei from the Fucheng City from reporting to the capital."
Tong Yangjia smiled and said, "Don't worry, the King of Chu standing behind me is also the property of the King of Chu. The King of Chu will naturally be dealt with by the King of Chu."
When Hai Shuzu frowned when he heard the royal family involved in this, he knew that the royal family of the Ming Dynasty had no good reputation.
When Tong Yangjia saw that Hai Shuzu didn't say anything, he naturally knew what he was worried about. Tong Yangjia said, "Don't worry, the Lord of Hai, the King of Chu said that the iron ore was too big and he couldn't eat it himself, so he only accounted for 20%, and 80% were given to the gentry in Qiongzhou Prefecture."
Unexpectedly, the King of Chu was quite kind. Hai Shuzu thought about it and felt that he had done this. He asked, "This deal is too big, and my Hai family can't afford it alone. Can you also count the Qiu family and the Liang family?"
Tong Yangjia was like this and said, "Before I came, I made a sharing plan, let's see how it is?"
Tong Yangjia had made plans in Dongguan as early as the time of his plan. His plan was that the King of Chu accounted for 20%, the Hai family, the Qiu family, and the Liang family each accounted for 10%, the officials of Qiongzhou Prefecture accounted for 10%, the Wei sect accounted for 10%, the Jinyiwei accounted for 10%, and other small families such as the Xu family, the Mo family accounted for 20%.
After hearing this, Hai Shuzu thought for a while and asked, "Does the ward still have to distribute it to them?"
Tong Yangjia said: "That iron mine went deep into the Li District, and it was just that the guards needed to send troops to escort them. In addition, all the guards were people, so it would be better to let them go and be miners."
Hai Shuzu nodded and said, "Okay, I will talk to those families in a while. Sir, wait for my news."
Tong Yangjia nodded and said, "In this way, the owner of Hai Manor will send me a message in three days."
After saying that, Tong Yangjia said goodbye and left, leaving Lu Shiyuan and Hai Shuzu to discuss.
The next day, Tong Yangjia found Tao Dayong, the commander of Hainan Guard, and revealed the news of the division to him. Tao Dayong is not a scholar like Hai Shuzu who is thinking about everything.
Tao Dayong knew that the prefect had given him so much money, so he immediately patted his chest to ensure that everyone wanted to have a boat.
After Hainan Wei got the job done, Tong Yangjia came to the craftsmen's base outside the city and found Tong Tuchang to ask about the situation.
Tong Tuchang said: "Uncle Second, I'm done now, I'm waiting for the boat."
Tong Yangjia said: "The iron ore may be on Shilu Mountain in Changhua County. In this way, if you come tomorrow, you will bring one hundred people and fifty guards first, go and see what will happen, and then come back and decide what to do next."
Tong Tuchang nodded and went down to pick people.
On the third day, two sea boats from Nanhaiwei arrived at Baishamen Wharf, and Tong Tuchang took 150 people to explore Changhua County.
Tong Yangjia was so busy that he was making trouble. When Hai Shuzu and several major families said that, everyone naturally agreed. Now pig iron is silver, so there is a reason to push the silver out.
Tong Yangjia followed the example of Dongguan Development Zone and established the Qiongzhou Prefecture Chamber of Commerce. Hai Shuzu was the president and the shareholding ratio was the same as Tong Yangjia said.
In this way, like the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, Qiongzhou Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, was tied to his chariot by King Zhu Hongsan of Chu and became Zhu Hongsan's staunch supporter.
In fact, when Tong Yangjia left, Zhu Hongsan gave him the bottom line that all iron ore shares were given to the natives of Qiongzhou, because Zhu Hongsan had no hope of making money by relying on raw materials. One processing of incoming materials could allow these old hats to spit out the money earned from mining.
Unexpectedly, Tong Yangjia wholeheartedly planned for the lord and left 20% dividends for Zhu Hongsan. When signing, the natives of Qiongzhou did not think that 10% of the money would be worth much money. They joined with the mentality of being small and fleshy. It was not until half a year later that the Chamber of Commerce distributed dividends to know how big the Shilu Iron Mine was.
After signing the letter, Tong Yangjia was busy looking for workers and arranging the matters of the guard team. Tong Tuchang led 150 people to Changhua.
Changhua County was established in the Sui Dynasty, and it can be said that it has a long history. The county town is on the north shore of the Changhua River estuary. Tong Tuchang and two sea boats arrived at the estuary of the Changhua River after two days of drifting.
The estuary of Changhua River is divided into Zuojiang Youjiang. Youjiang River has been silted to death due to the accumulation of silt and sand over time. So the ship stopped at Zuojiang River.
Changhua County is five miles away from the sea estuary. The sea boats cannot enter and can only stop at the sea estuary. Tong Tuchang led his personnel to walk outside Changhua County.
Changhua County is actually the local ward city. Most of the population of Qiongzhou Prefecture is concentrated in the northern counties, and Changhua in the southern part of Changhua. Thanksgiving, Yazhou and Wanzhou have few people.
For example, Changhua County was established based on local garrisons. There were less than 10,000 people in the county town, most of which were military households.
Tong Tuchang arrived at the door and took out his official position. You should know that Tong Tuchang is now a seventh-rank prosecutor, which is larger than the Changhua County Magistrate. Because Changhua County Magistrate is a lower county, he has only been in the seventh-rank prosecutor.
The guards at the door saw that it was the regent from the city, and quickly let them in.
Tong Tuchang asked about the location of the county government office and entered the county town.
Tong Tuchang came from the mainland and had never seen such a dilapidated county town. The entire county town has two gates, one south and one north. There is a street in the middle, and there are not many shops on the street. As for hotels, inns, etc., there is one tavern, but there is no one to visit.
Tong Tuchang came to the county government office and took a look. If the county government had not had a sign on it, it would be the same as the sheds of refugees outside Dongguan City.
Tong Tuchang curled his lips and walked in.
An old yamen runner in his fifties and sixties came out and asked, "Dare you asking what's wrong?"
Tong Tuchang said: "I am the new Promoter of Qiongzhou Prefecture, let your county magistrate come out."
When the yamen runner heard this, he was a high-ranking official and hurried in to report. After a while, a county magistrate in his twenties came out and bowed, "Changhua County Magistrate He Yuan welcomed Shangguan."
Tong Tuchang nodded. This county magistrate is young enough.
Tong Tuchang took out the guards given by Tong Yangjia from his arms and said, "Mr. He County Magistrate, this is the guards of the new governor, Lord Tong. Lord Tong sent me to Changhua County for business."
He Yuan muttered in his heart that his Changhua County rabbit doesn't poop and has no money. He doesn't know what this promoter has to do here. But Shangguan dared not to welcome him. He quickly gave Tong Tuchang to the back hall.
After the two sat down, He Yuan asked, "Sir, I don't know what official duties are for me when I come to my remote county."
Tong Tuchang didn't feel like talking nonsense to him, and said, "The magistrate heard that you have an iron ore, so I'll bring someone to explore."
He Yuan was stunned and said, "Report to my master, we have never heard of this iron ore, but someone stole the copper ore a few years ago."
It should be here, Tong Tuchang asked, "Where are you."
He Yuan said: "Walking up the Changhua River, it will be about 80 miles away."
Tong Tuchang said: "Well, Lord He finds us a few guides, we are ready to go and take a look."
He Yuan said: "Sir, that place belongs to the junction of raw, mature and mature Li. There are only a few people who can't do it."
Tong Tuchang reached out and took out the guard defense of the Hainan Guard Commander Tao Dayong, and said, "I also have the guard defense of the Hainan Guard Commander Tao. I can control the local guards and ask Lord He to find thousands of households in Changhua Guard."
He Yuan didn't expect Tong Tuchang to be so awesome, and he was both civil and military. He didn't dare to answer, so he hurried out and asked someone to go to the garrison to find Zhao Qianhu.
Zhao Qianhu came to check out Tao Dayong's seal and said, "What do you need me to do?"
Tong Tuchang said: "Please ask Zhao Qianhu to prepare two hundred people for me, plus ten days of supply, I will go deep into the inland along the Changhua River."
