Chapter 182 Agreement on Dividing the Booty (3)

"Mr. Rong has any difficulties, please tell me bluntly."

Before coming, Hongqing had already budgeted Rongzhu's possible reaction and understood the pain of his lack of money. However, Hongqing did not intend to point it out and was not in a hurry to explain the solution. Instead, he wanted to use it as the negotiated price. He was so happy that Rongzhu would be more worried for a while, so he calmly defeated Rongzhu and his army.

"This..., well, then the official said bluntly. This plan to manage the river is detailed and grand. It is really the only one who has seen it in his life. If you go there, you can keep the Yellow River for decades. It is just that it requires a lot of labor. Although Henan is not short of manpower, in the year of great disasters, people are in panic. If there is no food, the people may not be willing to do this. Moreover, the silver required is millions, even if the little prince has the Hecao Yamen, even if the young prince has a corps, he will be in danger of doing this.

The million silver that comes is not enough, and the land of Henan is poor and difficult to achieve great things. If you really want to do it, you may have to add millions of silver to the court. If you can do this, you may be able to do it. Third, you can build water conservancy and dig lakes to store water to control the river, but you are afraid that the other end of the canal will be short of water. If the water transportation is blocked, the court will punish you severely. It must be a trick. I wonder if the little prince has a solution to it?"

Rongzhu is a person who knows how to control the river. He said everything he said is about the point, but he is really not a vegetarian.

"Mr. Rong is very worried, but these three things are not unsurpassed. Since Master Rong said that Henan has a large population, if Ben Beile could invite three years of tax exemption, and then use work as a relief and tax exemption, it would be no problem for manpower?"

Hongqing had long expected Rong Zhu to propose these three shortcomings, so she didn't care. She smiled indifferently and gave the first solution casually.

"Well, if this is the case, it's feasible. It's just that the gap between capital and bank is too large, so it's still difficult."

Rong Zhu has been a local official for many years and is very familiar with the government affairs. After a little calculation, he knows that Hongqing's method of dispatching personnel is indeed feasible - to manage the Yellow River in segments and take responsibility for the full responsibility, and to dispatch a large number of people to participate in the river management during the slack season. This was originally a way for Rong Zhu to secretly prepare for Hongqing's strategy. However, before he could say it, Hongqing had already pointed it out. Rong Zhu was secretly frightened and would not deny the feasibility of this strategy.

"It's not very difficult to make money and banking. This time, my father and son came to provide disaster relief and river management by Emperor Mafa. The other end of the Ministry of Revenue was entrusted by 1.2 million taels. In addition, Benbeile brought a million taels from the Hecao Yamen, which was a 2.2 million taels, which was only about 800,000 taels. Now that the Ministry of Revenue is in a tight position, it is impossible to add them from the court. However, we can do some work on the matter of river management."

Although the number of 800,000 taels is not much, it is not small. If it were in the past, Hongqing was still sure to go from the old man to the additional one, but now, there is the Fourth Master who is squatting in the Ministry of Revenue. Is this hope? Not to mention that there is no, it will definitely not be much. Hongqing will never consider the origin of this aspect, and in a word, it has blocked the possibility of additional funds for river management.

"Start from the river management? This..., the officials are really unclear. Please ask the little prince for advice."

When he heard that the court could not add additional funds, Rong Zhu's heart was already cold. As for what Hongqing said about making a fuss about the river, Rong Zhu actually didn't believe it. You should know that since ancient times, river management has been a loss of money. The so-called spending money to buy peace is just like this. I really didn't hear that Zhihe could pay for money. Unless it was cut corners, there was no such possibility. After saying it out loud, Rong Zhu didn't believe it either. But when Hongqing saw that serious expression was not like telling lies, he really felt curious. After being stunned, he immediately asked.

"Has Lord Rong looked at the Chen carefully? Why did he forget the more than 200,000 hectares of wasteland along the river and the four major lakes formed by the cofferdam of the river?"

Hongqing smiled confidently and casually told the way to make money by controlling the river.

"More than 200,000 hectares of land? The little prince said..."

When Rong Zhu looked at the old days before, he saw the way of water conservancy construction and cofferdams forming lakes, but he didn't think about it at all. Because the Yellow River flooded, no one was willing to cultivate the land on both sides of the river. Even if the soil on those lands was quite fertile, no one was willing to risk being washed away by the flood. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, those lands have been deserted and all were unparalleled. If it could be exchanged for money, let alone 800,000 taels, eight million taels were no problem. As soon as he thought about this, Rong Zhu's heart became wild.

"Ha, there are not as many as more than 200,000 hectares of fertile land. In addition to the water conservancy needs and the use of cofferdams, there are only more than 100,000 hectares that can be reclaimed. If it is replaced with silver, it is about 3.9 million taels. In addition, the lakes built can also be rented and sold as ponds for fish and lotus seeds. The number of income of 4 million taels should be available. With this foundation, why worry about the use of river management without money?"

Hongqing nodded with a smile, explained the budget result, and gave Rong Zhu an extremely conclusive answer.

"The little prince is indeed very smart. With so much silver, it is not difficult to manage the river. But, hehe, it's just this land..."

Four million taels of silver are not a small amount. You should know that the taxes of such a poor province in Henan are only a pitiful less than 800,000 taels, which is not enough to support the use of the government of the province. They always have to pay extra subsidies from the court. The governor Rong Zhu naturally felt that it was not very pleasant. When he heard that the river could be cured by four million taels, his mind immediately shifted from how to manage the river to how to divide the spoils. However, this was really hard to say, so he could only stammer and vaguely.

Well, the show is coming, this old guy is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Although Rong Zhu's half of the words were vague, Hongqing understood it as soon as he heard it. Generally speaking, it was just saying that those lands were Henan's land and that if there was a way to make profits, Henan should take up the majority.

"Mr. Rong clearly understands that these tens of thousands of acres of land seem to be too much, but it takes time to make a comeback, and secondly, there must be a large number of buyers. Henan is too poor, so few people can eat it. Besides, our Ministry of Works has paid for the river management and paid a lot for the water conservancy of Henan Province. In the end, we have to pay some rewards, what do you think?"

Since the meat is already on the table, it is time to cut the knife. As for who can get a big portion, it depends on who has strong ability. On this point, Hongqing refused to give in and put the credit from the Ministry of Works on the table without hesitation.

"What the little prince said is reasonable, but the land is originally from my Henan, and the staff required to manage the river were also mobilized by me from Henan. If you don't give an explanation to your fellow villagers, it will be difficult for the subordinates to do it. What do you think of the little prince?"

Rong Zhu is a veteran of the officialdom. In the face of such huge benefits, he is unwilling to give up his own reasons and in turn he defeated Hongqing's army in the name of the people of Henan.

"Ha, since Lord Rong said that, Benbeile is not too good to be too much. If you deduct the need to manage the river and manage the various joints of the court, you can generally have a land of 100,000 hectares. Our Ministry of Works accounts for 80% and the rest will be returned to Henan."

Seeing that Rong Zhu wanted to take more, Hongqing naturally refused to agree, so she smiled and a lion spoke up and took his big head into his arms.

Listen, this has scooped up all the meat, and only a bite of soup is left. It is even more bad than myself. Could it be that I have to take the pot away? As soon as these words came out, Rongzhu's eyes turned red, and he didn't care about whether it was superior or inferior. He shook his head and said, "The little prince's algorithm is wrong. Let's give an example. Hiring workers to help repair the house at someone's house. There are many hard work and hard work, but we can't just take the house for ourselves. No matter what the theory is said, it doesn't make sense. Haha, the Ministry of Works has done a great thing for me in Henan this time. I should thank him well. If this is better, 30% of the method will be returned to the Ministry of Works and the rest will be returned to the Henan. What's the little prince's wish?"

I'll take a break. This old guy is really cruel, 30%? You're always sending beggars!

When Hongqing heard the share ratio proposed by Rongzhu, he became a little angry immediately. He was so cunning that he didn't bring it to his face. He just smiled indifferently and didn't accept it at all. He picked up the tea bowl and savored the tea again. Rongzhu was obviously a very calm person. He also picked up the tea bowl and played silent confrontation with Hongqing. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became so strange.

"Mr. Rong asked for a price too high, so Benbeile is afraid that he can't afford it. Forget it, let's stop here. Benbeile will go to Liu Fantai to discuss it."

Siren was silent again. Both sides were masters of the masters of qi cultivation. After a silence, they showed that they had no intention of giving in. As soon as they saw this, Hongqing naturally did not intend to remain silent again. So she put the tea bowl in her hand on a few, stood up, and asked for resignation with something in her words.

"Young Master, please wait. Can you discuss anything? Come, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Although Hongqing said this casually, the meaning inside was not simple. It was saying that Rong Zhu refused to give in, so he simply didn't even have to be the governor anymore. Although this meaning was hidden, as a veteran of the officialdom, Rong Zhu could still hear it. It was precisely because he could hear it that he didn't dare to let Hong Qing leave so angry. No one else, the third master and son now hold the power to control the power of Henan, and he really wanted to participate in Rong Zhu's book.
