Chapter 50 The reaction of the parties

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not a person who is forced to steal the evil. Since you are asked to do things, of course you have to create conditions for you." Yinzhen smiled and said, "These hundred sea ships cannot be built in one year, but at most, you can only be given four years. As for wood, it's not a problem. Tomorrow, I'll send someone a notice that the ships transporting shipbuilding giant trees will be exempt from taxes and give priority to the cotton cloth. In this way, are you still afraid that no one will transport wood to Shanghai?

As for the money, 80% of the cotton cloth share will be allowed to operate for two years, and you will be allowed to raise 10% of the price. I am not worried about losing money, right? However, you cannot interfere in the acquisition of cotton cloth, so you can pick up the goods directly from me. In addition, you have to hand over the foreign company in your hand as a place to purchase cotton cloth. This cotton cloth transport warehouse in Shanghai must also be placed on you." [The latest updates are all in search.]

Zhang Yuanlong couldn't help but gasp, pinched his thigh hard, forcing himself not to faint. As for the largest amount of "stamp cloth", each of which is six cents, 10 cents is six cents. How much is Shanghai's annual trade volume? What's more, it is now allowed to trade at a checkpoint in Shanghai. Forty million horses should be conservative. This account alone is 2.4 million yuan per year, and with all the other high-priced cloths, it's more than three million yuan a year.

The news that Zhang Yuanlong swallowed the entire Shanghai cotton export share spread throughout Shanghai in less than an hour. Time at the gate of Changqingyuan became a vegetable market. Zhang Yuanlong was happy and painful, receiving one after another, sending relatives and friends from Shanghai and nearby.

Yinzhen sat in the study with a frown. Faced with a lot of miscellaneous things, he had to cheer up and record them one by one. He had to formulate a new system for Jiang Customs, and issued notices. At least most of the officers, clerks, patrols, sailors, etc. of Jiang Customs must be replaced. The acquisition of cotton cloth must also be issued notices to stabilize people's hearts. At least in every county and town, there must be a purchase. Shanghai and various prefectures must also be built to store and transport the warehouses. The progress of building sheds must be checked. It is almost the Chinese New Year, and red envelopes and salaries must be sent to the people below, and letters must be written to a large group of people in the capital...

The merchants and landlords in Shanghai and its surrounding areas soon smelled the smell from the newspaper. Shanghai was about to develop greatly, and some people who were foresighted immediately began to send people to buy land around Shanghai. However, what made them feel depressed was that the land around Shanghai's county town, especially along the northeast of the county town, had long been purchased. This situation even more stimulated their determination to buy land. If they could not buy those around, they would buy those around the periphery. Before the Chinese New Year, the land price near Shanghai had almost doubled.

Seeing this kind of hot market, Haifeng, who has successively purchased a large number of fields, was not only very sighing, but following the Fourteenth Master, it was too easy for him to make money. Is this different from picking up silver on the ground?

Just as the interweaving of worries, happiness and busyness, time flies to the eighth day of the first lunar month of the 49th year of Kangxi.

From this day on, Yinzhen began to accept the New Year greetings from officials from Jiang Customs. He revealed the news that he would investigate and rectify Jiang Customs at the beginning of the year, and at the same time stated that no one would pursue resignation automatically.

As soon as the storm came out, the entire Jiang Customs immediately set off a wave of resignation. Nowadays, who is in the customs clean? Instead of being investigated, it is better to resign quickly, so as to seek a better job. If you have money, you are afraid that you have no place to be an official?

Subsequently, Shanghai, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Suzhou, Huzhou, Zhenjiang and other surrounding prefectures posted notices, saying that Jiang Customs and Global Foreign Exchange recruited people, and specifically stated that it would recruit poor families.

Once the notice was posted, it caused a sensation. Not to mention the global foreign company, Jiang Customs, where is that? The crotch of the fucking oily pants, the fat and oily place, it has always been so sharp that it can't get in, but now it's actually recruiting people outside? Looking at the bright red Jiang Customs seal on the notice, everyone unanimously suspected that the 14th prince, who was newly appointed as the supervisor of Jiang Customs, had a problem with his head. He was either kicked by a donkey or was clipped by a door panel.

No matter how suspicious it is, facing this dream-ridden opportunity, countless Han family members don’t care about celebrating the festival. They call their friends to flock to Shanghai to see if they can meet the great fortune.

At the same time, famous families in Liangjiang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang also received famous posts from Yinzhen. Yinzhen was very polite, saying that Shanghai had all started its business and lacked talents under its jurisdiction. We hope that each family would recommend outstanding talents and noble moral children to come to Shanghai.

The fourteenth prince, Xun Beile Yinzhen, has been making a big deal in the past year. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the "Four Great Hengs", the Ocean Fleet, the Jiang Customs Supervision, and the cotton cloth monopoly. It can be said that it is always involved in the nerves of famous families in Jiangnan. Now he actually wants them to recommend their outstanding children. This is what they dream of, and each family immediately condemns the most outstanding children to go to Shanghai.

Yinzhen's reputation for seeking talents was also spread from Liangjiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The famous families who received the news were not willing to fall behind. They also sent their outstanding children to Shanghai to get the appreciation of the 14th prince. Even if they could know the next move of the 14th prince in advance, they could take the lead. The means of the 14th prince making money are now known to everyone in the world.

In Guangzhou, Macau, Shanghai, the news that allowed foreigners to stay and cotton cloth to export to Shanghai caused a huge sensation. The shrewd merchants immediately smelled business opportunities. Western missionaries had already received news from five missionaries including Peter. The opportunity to stay and preach in the Qing Dynasty made them ecstatic. As soon as the newspaper spread, they condemned people to go to Shanghai to fight for the front station, while trying their best to lobby for the various talents that Luo Yinzhen needed. As long as they could curry favor with the actual ruler in Shanghai, they could quickly gain a foothold in Shanghai. For a time, a large number of merchants, missionaries, and foreigners took a boat to Shanghai.

Two days later, Jiang Customs transported ships with giant ships were exempted from duty, and the notice of giving priority to the supply of cotton cloth quickly spread throughout the coastal areas. At this time, the owners of sea merchants in various places were not concerned about the agreement that the previous three years did not transport wood. The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and digging all their thoughts to open up channels to collect giant shipbuilding trees.

Taxes can't cost a few small amounts of money. The problem is the share of cotton cloth. Which of these merchant ship owners is not a good person? They have a long-term vision. Everyone knows that if they can't grab the share of cotton cloth this year, they may have to say goodbye to cotton cloth from now on. Who would be willing to spit out the share they get? Even if they can grab the share in the future, they will have to pay a few times higher than they are now.

For a time, merchants who entrusted a large amount of cash or bought giant shipbuilding trees with silver notes went out to sea, heading north and south, buying wood everywhere. Kanto, North Korea, Taiwan, South China and various wood-producing areas in the inland immediately set off a craze for cutting giant trees.
