Ji Zi Volume Chapter 113: Ginger is always spicy (please vote!)
Seeing the strange expression on Feng Ziying's face, Zhu Zhiren felt both proud and 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 a lack of tax revenue has already made him miserable, and his official title is on the verge of falling. How can 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 was currently the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture, was very likely to be promoted to Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Si Zuo Councilor, 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 will have to be given a little favor. Otherwise, how could the person in Dezhou and the Bingbei Road Supervisor's official document be given? Can it be sent to Ji Town?
Putting away these unwarranted emotions, Zhu Zhiren changed his tone: "Okay, Ziying, I think you are also confident. In this case, you can just do it according to your intention, but it is stolen goods, please think 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, sable, fire fox, black fox, white fox, blue fox, everything. Any one of them can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and the good ones are estimated to be thousands of taels. Even if it is purchased in Liaodong, it is estimated that it will cost just a few hundred taels. 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 amount 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 hat of having an affair with Mongolia or Jurchen 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 Mongolia and Jurchen?
Could it be North Korea? It's impossible even if you think about it.
"What do you mean, sir...?"
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 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 Justice. 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.
, this also means that more than 60% of the property has become unclaimed.
"I will naturally obey your orders," Feng Ziying said quickly.
"In that case, Ziying from the border army must also have an explanation. 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 in 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 teams 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 and give them preferential treatment..., and you
We also plan to recruit people to form a strong people, and the training expenses are very small, so we can also consider this,..."
I have to say that this person is very considerate. Of course, there are some things that he will not say out loud, and he has to let Feng Ziying understand them by himself.
Feng Ziying returned to her mansion and immediately called Wu Yaoqing and Feng An.
There are too few people around Feng Ziying. People like Feng An and Feng Tai can only do some simple or force-related tasks. For the real details from planning to execution to supervision, Wu Yaoqing is needed.
Wu Yaoqing also realized this and wanted to re-establish an entire system.
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 didn't mean that the people below were also so optimistic, not to mention the salt patrol from Lianghuai.
The gap between a censor and a Hanlin is too big.
Now, it is equally 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, you can 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 one. They said it so high-sounding and considered it so thoughtfully. If she didn't understand the taste, it would be inappropriate.
As for other people, Feng Ziying really didn't dare to give it casually, and there was no need.
"In addition to clearing out the records of the Lulong County Yamen, plus what I just said, I will prepare about 30,000 taels of gold sand and leather goods. As a reward, I will go to Ji Town and register the rest 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 has a harder time here. 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 make atonement for their crimes. 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 have a wonderful effect."
Feng Ziying felt that it was quite convenient to have a staff member like Wu Yaoqing. Before, she was worried that Wu Yaoqing would not be able to give orders like Wang Wenyan, but now it seems that she has underestimated this group of people.
Gu Dengfeng and Qian Guisheng are also talented people, 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 and energetic.
They are all very different.
Even if we now compare him with Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu, 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.
Naturally, Jia Yun came to Yongping for the development and construction of the coal-iron complex.
Since Zhuang Limin and Wang Shaoquan were ambitious, they simultaneously launched large-scale coking and iron-smelting blast furnace construction in Qian'an and Lulong, and invested a relatively large amount of money.
At the same time, according to Feng Ziying's instructions, the local abundant limestone, clay, slag 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 calcining temperature to 1400 degrees.
This kind of indigenous cement was produced even before pebble 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.
However, 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 hopes 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
It's a good idea to think about it.
"Okay, let's go to the peak. 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 have to be taken into consideration, and this new gadget is undoubtedly the best practice." Feng Ziying said enthusiastically.
