Hearing that all the bannermen who entered the workshop to work had to move out of Mancheng, Xi Zhu couldn't help but be stunned. This was a bit tricky. For decades, the bannermen had become accustomed to living in Mancheng. Letting them move out of Mancheng and into the workshop may cause great resistance. As for the unified placement of the bannermen in the northeast corner of Mancheng, this problem is not big. After all, all the real estate in Mancheng belongs to the imperial court, not private property.
After pondering for a moment, Xi Zhu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the flag citizens have lived in the city for decades. If they rashly ordered them to move out, they may complain, and they may even be resistant to entering the military workshop. Can they follow the flag soldiers and allow their families to stay in the city?"
Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "After the military workshop was completed, they were allowed to choose by themselves. One household could only keep one property. In addition, the clothing factory needed a large number of female workers, because the clothes, quilts, shoes and hats of the New Guards were all made by the Eight Banners women, and their wages were not low. I believe that many bannermen were willing to move in with their families."
After hearing this, Xi Zhu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was not only not forcing but also profitable, but it was much easier to do. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Slave follows the order."
Two days later, Zhenwu left Xi'an and set off for Beijing.
At this time, the news that Shanxi merchants founded the "Jin Hesheng" piao number, and the news of Shanxi Province vigorously clearing out the deficits was spreading rapidly. Businessmen were concerned about the "Jin Hesheng" piao number, while officials were concerned about clearing out the deficits.
The Qing Dynasty had many strong business gangs. They had long been jealous and hated that the "Four Great Hengs" dominated the Qing Dynasty's Piaoqian industry, but no one dared to set up the Piaoqian to compete with the "Four Great Hengs" because the wealthy and powerful business gang knew that the owner of the "Four Great Hengs" was the current saint, Zhenwu, who competed with the "Four Great Hengs", which was like scratching the tiger's head.
But no one expected that after the "Four Great Hengs" dominated the banking industry for five years, Zhenwu Ye encouraged Shanxi merchants to create a well-funded "Jin Hesheng" pie account to compete with the "Four Great Hengs". For a time, the strong business gangs speculated whether the purpose of Zhenwu's move meant that the Qing Dynasty's pie account would be fully liberalized?
For a moment, all the business groups were restless. While sending people to Taiyuan to inquire about the detailed situation, they quietly watched the actions of the "Jin Hesheng" Piaohao. The Piaohao was so profitable. Who wouldn't want to get a share of the pie? Another important reason was the low-interest loans launched by the "Four Great Hengs".
Since the low-interest loans launched by the "Four Great Hengs", the business of local bank bankers that merchants in various places have struggled to support with usury has plummeted. Who would be willing to borrow usury if there is a low interest rate? Fortunately, the capital of the "Four Great Hengs" is limited, and the amount of low-interest loans is not large. Otherwise, all bank bankers would have closed down long ago.
The establishment of the "Jin Hesheng" piao account is like another heavy hammer for the silver banking houses in various places. Shanxi's old money-making power is recognized. The "Jin Hesheng" piao account has no way out at all. What is even more worrying is whether another big piao account will appear?
Shanxi Province vigorously cleared the deficit. The officials were first removed on the spot, and then the methods of investigating them with great fanfare could not fill the deficit. The punishment of sending the whole family to Ningguta and the armored people as slaves made officials in various provinces frightened and panicked, and many officials couldn't eat, restless, dreamed at midnight, and nightmares were repeated.
No one knows where Zhenwu's destination was this time and which route he would take. This new master is very different from Kangxi's tour. Not only did he just follow the light car and go all the way, but he also had a secret way and liked to visit privately. It is said that Shanxi Governor Su Keji was dismissed from prison because of his poor official reputation during Zhenwu's privately visit.
Officials in Hubei and Henan provinces were particularly nervous. Zhenwu is now in Xi'an. God knows he will go south or go east? No one wants to joke about his future. The Eight Immortals cross the sea and show their magical powers and began to find ways to fill in the gaps. Officials in Liangjiang, Shandong, Zhejiang and other provinces, who are a little farther away, dare not slacken at all, and began to correct and investigate themselves, and wrote documents everywhere to pursue the embezzled loans, ordered clerks to withdraw and even pay for the loss out of their own pockets. They were willing to deal with it first.
While officials from all over the country were busy with the deficit, news that Zhenwu left Xi'an spread was spreading, and at the same time, Fengxiang Mansion was dismissed from office and released to Beijing Housing for levying three cents of fire. The most shocking news was the demolition of the city and the sale of the city, allowing the Xi'an Banners to purchase industries and purchase cemeteries in the local area, expand the 30,000 new imperial guards army, and establish a military workshop.
Although this series of news was shocking, officials from all provinces and counties were not concerned about their affairs. Except for Henan, the fire consumption in other provinces did not charge more than three cents. They were not worried and continued to work hard to deal with their own deficits.
Most of the fire consumption of prefectures and counties in Henan is more than three cents. As we heard about this news, the officials of prefectures and counties were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Zhenwu didn't go to Fengxiang Mansion at all. It was obvious that he was exaggerated and removed the prefect of Fengxiang Mansion. If he stepped into Henan, wouldn't he have to go all the way and change it?
The Eight Banners generals who were stationed in various provinces, who were in the water and land, were very concerned about the demolition of the city in Xi'an. I wonder if the demolition of the city in Xi'an was the beginning or an exception? The small places of these people could not sell the city in the city for a long time, and the Eight Banners soldiers were already few. If the city was demolished, there would be no need to be stationed again.
The Manchu and Han officials in various provinces, especially Jiangning and Hangzhou, were very concerned about the demolition of Xi'an Mancheng. Of course, they were more concerned about how much Xi'an Mancheng could sell? The land in the provincial capital was worth money. If it could be sold for Mancheng, a new camp outside the city would be built, and the transfer would be a big opportunity to make a fortune. As for the others, not many people considered it. Jiangnan had been peaceful for too long, and Mancheng had no meaning to exist at all.
The reaction between the capital and the local government was just the opposite. The princes and nobles of the capital and civil and military ministers were not at all concerned about clearing the deficits. Clearing the deficits and clearing the deficits in prefectures and counties was completely a local matter and had nothing to do with them. However, the reaction to the demolition and sale of the city, the allowance of the Xi'an Banner to purchase industries and cemeteries in the local area, and the expansion of the 30,000 new guard army in Xi'an, and the expansion of a group of princes and nobles, civil and military ministers was quite strong.
The imperial court has always protected the flag and flag products, and did not allow the people to buy the flag and flag products. However, the city is full of flag products. In this way, the imperial court has become a piece of paper to protect the flag and flag products.
