Fang Qingzhi's main task when he came to Yulin was to announce the decree, which mainly included the rewards from the imperial court and the opening of the border city in May. After the announcement, Fang Qinzhi set off from Hongshixia to the Mantulu tribe.
Governor Yang of Yansui Town also adopted Fang Yingwu's suggestion. Under the banner of safety first, he reported to the court that the border city government should strictly control the situation and make the border town responsible for attracting investment.
As a result, a power was added to the border town out of thin air. Originally, the government only needed to set up checkpoints to collect taxes, but after it was established by the government, even the admission qualifications and share sizes of each family were directly in the hands of the government. It can be said that there is no approval project.
We must also create a model for approval projects.
The news about opening a border city in Yulin officially spread, which made powerful merchants in the northwest even more enthusiastic and came to Yulin City to look for opportunities.
Although the total profit from a side market is limited, and in the long run, the profit may not be as high as the salt that Western merchants are accustomed to. But if a normalized side market can gradually form in the future, this will add a stable profit growth point. From a business perspective, it is
Not to be ignored.
In fact, the profit-seeking behaviors of businesses are all low-level, and the higher-level competition is not known to outsiders at all. When faced with huge profits, there are always people who want to share the pie.
On this day, the three most influential and influential figures in local affairs in Yulin City met. Governor Yang and Eunuch Wang sat side by side, and Peng Qing, the commander of the Yulin Guards, was at the bottom.
By the way, opposite Peng Qing is Fang Yingwu, a student, who was also invited by Governor Yang to sit with him. This shows that Governor Yang relies heavily on the great scholar.
After the greetings were completed, the eunuch Wang Zhi, the eunuch who inspected the three sides and the eunuch of Yansui, the governor of the West Factory, and the eunuch Wang Zhi coughed loudly - now the former guard eunuch Zhang Xia got his wish and left Bianzhen to transfer to the belly.
Wang Zhi condescended to serve as the guarding eunuch in the area. She was the first to speak: "I don't think we can just bother Mr. Yang to work more on the business of attracting investment."
Governor Yang knew this and asked, "What should Eunuch Wang mean?"
Wang Zhi wrote lightly: "This matter should be divided into three parts, the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the guarding eunuch, and the Yulin Guards each get one."
Her meaning was very clear. In this border market, the governor, eunuchs, and Yulin guards were each responsible for one-third of the share. If they didn't want to push Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu too hastily, Wang Zhilian would have taken the one-third share.
Neither will be given.
Although Governor Yang must care about money, he considers himself to be the highest official in Yansui Town. Only one-third would be too shameful and does not match his status. However, it is not his style to worry about profit and gain, and Governor Yang feels that he
I can't open my mouth.
At this time, Fang Yingwu faced Wang Zhi and pretended to be surprised. He patted his hat and said, "I heard that Eunuch Wang is a righteous person who takes money lightly. How come he wants to take care of such money matters?"
Wang Zhi was young and vain, and indeed prided himself on not loving money, but at this moment he could only say helplessly: "I, the guarding eunuch, bear the emperor's favor, and I should share your worries for you."
What is good above is what is good below. When today's people love eating, drinking, playing, having fun, rare treasures, and worshiping monks, Taoists, and alchemists, and spending a lot of money on all aspects, the capable eunuch will naturally take on the responsibility of collecting money and treasures to donate to the emperor.
It is for this reason that Liang Fang and Qian Neng are favored.
Even with Wang Zhi's strength, she is bound to be vulgar and cannot be careless about money. Of course, the reason for moving the Emperor here is to occupy the commanding heights.
Fang Yingwu patted the handrail lightly and said: "Since the factory owner wants to make a profit for you, how can he only get one third?"
This was an astonishing statement. Not only was Governor Yang surprised, but Wang Zhi and Commander Peng were also surprised. Isn’t Fang Yingwu a staff adviser to Governor Yang? Why did he speak for Wang Zhi instead? The three of them were all at once.
Qi Qi was suspicious and didn't say anything. They just listened to what Fang Yingwu said next.
Fang Yingwu looked at the three of them first, and then continued: "I believe that the factory owner should be responsible for half of this investment in the border market!"
"Are you serious?" Wang Zhi asked bluntly and bluntly. His own proposal was only for one-third, but Fang Yingwu suddenly increased it to half for him. What kind of spirit is this?
Fang Yingwu glanced at Governor Yang, and then said: "Of course it is true. As for the other half, it should be the responsibility of the Governor of Yansui Town and the Procuratorate!"
Hearing this, Governor Yang almost laughed out loud. There was indeed something in Fang Yingwu's words! Although this was not the first time he had seen it, Governor Yang still wanted to admire him. He was really smart!
Yes, we first followed Wang Zhi's wishes and went one step further, increasing his share to half, and at the same time increasing our own share to half. It was just a pity for Commander Peng that no share was left. Let's see.
What should Eunuch Wang do?
Wang Zhi has really created a difficult situation. This Fang Yingwu's proposal is a test of human nature. Even a fool knows that a half share is better than a third. Of course, the more money, the better. His Majesty likes this thing.
Now that Governor Yang has become so popular and powerful, it is impossible to completely exclude him. Taking half of it is probably the best result. But Commander Peng is the one she has been trying to win over, so she directly divides Commander Peng's share.
It doesn’t seem good to drop it.
In the end, Wang Zhi gritted her teeth and agreed to Governor Yang: "That's it, you and I are each responsible for half of it!" As for Commander Peng, she could only comfort and compensate him afterwards.
When the words came out, even Wang Zhi didn't expect that she would agree so quickly. Could it be that she subconsciously felt that Commander Peng, a little person, accounted for too much one-third, but for the purpose of wining over, she couldn't explain it clearly, and then used the method to
Is this the reason for responding to material suggestions?
Governor Yang gave Fang Yingwu a wink and slightly expressed his appreciation. Unexpectedly, the share problem raised by Wang Zhi was solved by Fang Yingwu in a flash, and his own benefits increased. Everyone was really happy.
Is there anything in the world that can't stop him? At this moment, Governor Yang couldn't help but have this thought.
Realizing that Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu were looking back and forth in triumph, Wang Zhi felt very unhappy, "Don't be happy too early. Maybe the imperial decree will be changed in the evening, and the affairs of the border market will be in vain."
Fang Yingwu was suspicious. Did Wang Zhi's words have a hidden meaning, or was he an alarmist out of resentment? Governor Yang couldn't help but ask, "I'd like to hear the details."
"Do you know? Datong Town has petitioned the imperial court to set up this border market in Datong!" Wang Zhi broke the news.
Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu both frowned. Yansui Town is a new border town that has only appeared in recent years, while Datong Town is an absolutely veteran border town. It is often collectively called Xuanda with Xuanfu Town, and is the outer defense line of the capital.
, is also the most important border town in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the political and military status of Datong Town is higher than that of Yansui Town. Although Yansui Town has had better wars than Datong Town in recent years and has produced two ministers in a row, Yansui Town still has more weight than Datong Town. Not as good. Besides, the geographical location of Datong Town is worse than that of Yansui Town, making it more suitable for setting up a border market.
Before Governor Yang and Fang Yingwu could speak, Commander Peng said to Wang Zhi first: "Datong wants to take away the border market, and we in Yansui Town will never agree. It all depends on the factory boss!"
Wang Zhi crossed her legs comfortably, glanced at Fang Yingwu, and then at Governor Yang, with a calm and calm demeanor.
Both Fang Yingwu and Governor Yang believed that with Eunuch Wang's prestigious reputation, if he came forward to negotiate with the court and Datong Town, there would naturally be no problems. The border city was still in Yulin. But is Wang Zhi so easy to ask for? I'm not afraid.
We need to give up some shares.
Fang Yingwu pondered for a moment, then turned to Governor Yang and said, "To resolve this matter, I have to go to Futai to report to the court."
Upon seeing this, Governor Yang knew that Fang Yingwu was so quick-witted, and said curiously: "If you were to write, how would you write?"
Fang Yingwu said seriously: "Actually, there is nothing to write about. Yulin is located in a remote area and has little to do with the safety of the capital. And the town of Datong is close to the capital, so it must be guarded a hundred times. If we open a border market, the enemy and we will not know.
Hu Qi can come and go freely. Isn’t this worth worrying about?
Are you ignoring the safety of the capital just for the convenience of a border market? Have you all forgotten about the Tumu Fort? I think the person who proposed opening a border market in Datong should be killed!"
Governor Yang praised: "What you say makes sense!"
Wang Zhize was greatly disappointed, but she had to admit that what Fang Yingwu said was extremely reasonable. If this was really reported to the court, the court would definitely reject Datong's opinion.
But when he thought that the problem could be solved without her intervention at all, Wang Zhi felt greatly frustrated. He had almost the same idea as Governor Yang, what else could be difficult for Fang Yingwu?
This person was disgusting. Wang Zhi, who was in a very unhappy mood, stared at Fang Yingwu for a long time with a straight face, his eyes uncertain, not knowing what to think about.
Governor Yang felt that the atmosphere was not right and was about to end today's meeting. But he heard Eunuch Wang say: "Fang Xiucai has done a good job in Yulin City. I have seen it all. What do you think, Governor Yang?"
Of course, Governor Yang wanted to defend Fang Yingwu and said: "That's true." Fang Yingwu didn't understand what Wang Zhi meant, so he could only reply cautiously: "If you reward me, please reward me."
Wang Zhi sighed and said: "I heard that Fang Xiucai was assigned by His Majesty, and it is hard for others to comment. In this case, I should ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins. A great talent like you should not
You have wasted your time in the border town of Yulin, and I will let you go back to your hometown to study!"
What? Fang Yingwu was stunned, and Governor Yang was also stunned. With Wang Zhi's trust in the emperor, it was absolutely certain that he would petition to pardon Fang Yingwu.
I am not angry now. It has been almost a year. There is no psychological barrier for the emperor to pardon Fang Yingwu. Besides, Fang Yingwu has made great contributions and gave the emperor the honor of canonizing Beilu Khan, so Wang Zhi can say a few good words.
, it is certainly not difficult to ask the emperor to send Fang Yingwu back to his hometown.
Wang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little proud of her idea. Without Fang Yingwu as a counselor, Governor Yang became his right-hand man, which was equivalent to taking the fire under the cauldron and losing at least one-third of his strength.
She saw Fang Yingwu smile bitterly and was speechless again, and she felt even more relieved. What else could he do now? She didn't believe it. Is there anything in this world that could stump Fang Yingwu! (To be continued. Please
