Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone~ Speaking of which, I will add more to this traditional festival...
With this big killer weapon, Chen Xi is ready to abduct those famous Yingchuan ministers who have chosen from Yuan Shao and are preparing to return to their hometown from Mount Tai. His goal is to catch them all!
Lu Su and Chen Xi talked all night, and the next day they went to the Government Affairs Office with dark circles under their eyes. Liu Bei happily handed over the seal and ribbon of the Taishan County Sheriff to Chen Xi, and then handed over the seal and ribbon of the Taishan County Magistrate that Chen Xi had taken off.
Handed over to Lu Su. The government affairs have been completely handed over, and Chen Xi seems to have no chance of promotion.
As the Taishan bandit leaders were persuaded to surrender one by one by Zang Ba, the remaining stubborn and clueless idiots were all severely combed out by Guan Erye and Zhang Fei leading the new army. Taishan was considered stable, and
Now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also returned to Fenggao with their captives.
"Zijing, this is the amount of cultivated land this year. The tax rate is from Zilong, and there is also grain supplied to the central government. You can calculate it and give a similar amount." Chen Xi planned what he was going to do in autumn and winter and started to work on it.
When handling current government affairs, similar to before, Chen Xi only arranges people and determines the general goals. Someone will eventually come up with the charter.
For example, now Lu Su is a person who really does things, while Chen Xi basically just talks. He knows his strengths very well, has vision and experience, but he is not good at doing it. Professional things are left to professionals.
It's only natural to do it. Besides, haven't you seen that Lu Su is very satisfied with being reused and wants to show off himself, so Chen Xi throws some things to Lu Su and the four elite generals of Soochow, so they should be the focus.
"How can you give a rough number? One is one, two is two. How can the political strategy be vague? Doesn't this give subordinates an opportunity to accept bribes?" Lu Su sternly rejected Chen Xi's kindness.
"Oh, I mean you just need to report the whole number, and the rest will be used as subsidies for the elderly, widows and widowers in various counties and villages during the New Year. It is not easy for them, so they should enjoy the support." Chen Xi said casually.
He said with an excuse.
"After the distribution is completed, the remaining part will be used as a subsidy for our outstanding students in the coming year. Once those teenagers start studying, the family will lose a labor force. Even if they don't care, the people will bite the bullet and support a student, but I think it is still more humane.
"Chen Xi said with a yawn, and then thought of a series of good ideas to increase his reputation.
"This method is very good, but why doesn't Zichuan write a charter?" Lu Su nodded and saw the benefits of these two measures, raised his head and asked curiously.
"It's too simple. Don't waste paper on explaining things." Chen Xi gave another reason, and it was reasonable.
If Chen Xi is right, Mi Zhu has paid attention to the paper since it began to be used in the Government Affairs Department. After getting Chen Xi's approval, he can sell it, and he will definitely be allowed to sell it exclusively in the south. After getting this benefit, Mi Zhu
I feel much more peaceful now, but I still come to the Government Affairs Office from time to time to enjoy the autumn breeze.
Fortunately, a few days ago, Chen Xi really couldn't stand the inexplicable disappearance of the paper he prepared, so he gave him refined salt sales licenses in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou, and asked him to take his documents to Su Shuang's place.
Going to pick up the salt, after more than three months of preparation, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping had already produced sea salt that was enough to defeat several other major salt merchants.
Naturally, Chen Xi didn't know that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping only did preliminary purification in pursuit of speed. As for the secondary purification that Chen Xi wrote in detail, it was useless. Anyway, in their opinion, the salt obtained after the preliminary purification was far darker than the well salt in Shuzhong.
The yellow lumps were too strong and had no unpleasant smell, so the two of them abandoned the last step.
If these things were left alone now, they would definitely be dragged out to eat peanuts, but at that time, even if Chen Xi saw Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping doing what they did, he would not say anything. After all, the common people still use certain salty stones.
At that time, what Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping did was really to benefit society, and they sold it so cheaply. According to the universal morality at the time, this was comparable to Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period...
Since Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping both eat the salt they sell, what else do you have to say? People who make salt trust their own salt. What else do you want to say to those who eat salt?
So Chen Xi has no idea how much salt Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping have produced. After this opening, even if they are sold in all Hanzhou counties, they will probably be able to last until March next year. Without the last step of drying salt, it is really
Come on, even Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are having a headache on how to transport it out.
"Report, I have something important to do with Mi Zi." Just as Chen Xi continued to assign tasks to Lu Su, a messenger ran over.
"Please Zizhong come in." Chen Xi raised his head and frowned slightly.
"I don't know why Zizhong came back this time." Lu Su said with a smile, "Zichuan is probably very sad that Zizhong is back."
"That's not true. I'm just worried that something will go wrong in Qingzhou. That's the basis for my plans for the coming year." Chen Xi shook his head and said.
"Hey, we have a plan in Qingzhou?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi in surprise. He didn't know about such a big thing.
"Well, this matter is part of my business plan, I'll show it to you." Chen Xi pointed at the stack of Lu Su's documents, indicating that Lu Su had read them before.
"Salt industry?" Lu Su thought for a moment and remembered that Chen Xi had written in the document that he would go to Qingzhou to engage in salt industry. Who could understand such a simple thing?
"Yes, I guess Zizhong came back because of this matter. I don't know whether the situation is good or bad. I haven't contacted Su Shuang and the others in recent months." Chen Xi said that he didn't know either.
"I've met the county guard, the county magistrate." Mi Zhu trotted in with a dusty face. It was obvious that the matter was serious. Even the gentlemanly Mi Zhu didn't even have time to wash up and hurried to find Chen Xi and Lu Su.
"Zizhong, you don't need to be polite. I see you look in a hurry, but something big happened in Qingzhou?" Chen Xi looked a little ugly. He had chosen Qingzhou at that time, but now it would be really difficult if something happened.
Mi Zhu quickly explained the ins and outs, and Chen Xi immediately felt relieved. As for Lu Su, he was frightened and couldn't transport too much salt. He hoped to win over the Jiangdong Lu family, a famous shipbuilding family, to transport salt. It was all money.
This is the foundation for Liu Bei's take-off in the coming year. This is really a big deal!
It turned out that after Mi Zhu took Chen Xi's note to Qingzhou, Su Shuang and Su Shuang, who were worried about transportation, were overjoyed. If they couldn't transport it out, couldn't Mi Zhu, a wealthy business owner of the top five, also be unable to transport it out? So Su Shuang didn't care about the people who came to transport salt.
Mi Zhu patted her chest and said that salt was not a problem.
Mi Zhu was stunned when he saw the 100,000 dans of refined salt allocated to him by Su Shuang. Su Shuang also said that he could pick up the goods first and then pay for them. After all, everyone is following Xuande Gong to eat, and they don't look up or down, and
The brothers are so rich that they don’t even have to pay a deposit. They just settle the accounts after making money. They also said that they only need to earn a salary.
Although Mi Zhu is a businessman, he has a very gentlemanly demeanor. Seeing Su Shuang and the two of them worried about how to transport the salt, Mi Zhu said that he was willing to bear the transportation. However, when he saw all the salt in Su Shuang's inventory, he became stupid. It seemed like this
It would be impossible to transport the excess salt out using conventional methods without alerting others.
After thinking about it, Mi Zhu felt that the only way to do this was by sea. Only in this way could he avoid the attention of others. The only families with such experience were the Lu family in Jiangdong and the Gongsun family in Youzhou, and these two families he Mi Zhu
I have also communicated with the Jiangdong Lu family, but the question now is whether Chen Xi can allow the Jiangdong Lu family to join!
