Chapter 18 Adapting Measures to Local Conditions

As Zhang De guessed, after Changsun Wuji stayed in the "Huqiu Guest House", the door of the house was wide open for only one purpose, and he collected money openly.

Suzhou, which was in the 24th year of Zhenguan, had a characteristic that both urban residents and farmers were often not short of money. Because even farmers had a lot of weaving cloth all year round, a "poor farmer" in Suzhou's rural areas was thrown into Guanzhong, and the fake one was also a "well-off home".

In the political territory of the empire, Suzhou and Changzhou are not eye-catching, but in the economic territory, they are naturally dazzling. It is adjacent to the East China Sea, the Yangtze River, and the Grand Canal... It is actually quite difficult to do a loss-making business.

Even if you just do logistics and go to the single gang, it is easier to make money locally in Suzhou than elsewhere. The only things that can be dominated by the world are the two Beijings and Wuhan.

Because of Zhang De, there are nearly 50 cement workshops of all sizes and sizes in Jiangyin and Changshu alone. The materials are exported and sold domestically. Some are shipped directly to Zhuzidao, which is purchased by the Ministry of War, and are inspected by the Donghai Governor's Office, and finally settled from the Governor's Office.

There are two ways to settle the money. One is to use the properties in the East China Sea to offset the price. The cement dealer in Jiangdong can choose to ask for it or choose to get cash. The other is to return to the local area, which is paid by the Suzhou Governor's Office or the Changzhou Governor's Office. The money is linked to silk and silk, and the Ministry of War and Civilian Affairs operates dually...

It can be said that it is quite satisfying to be able to do such a business or something like this.

It doesn’t matter how much money you make, but how it is integrated with the official and you can eat at least three generations.

For the local bullies in Changzhou, Suzhou, they can cross local prefectures and counties and directly contact the central king, which is an unprecedented opportunity.

Whether money or not is a trivial matter... In the eyes of the rich people in Suzhou and Changzhou, money is just a number.

Some Changshu local tyrants even built a cement pavement that arrived at the Yangtze River from the county town, and could walk in two carriages in parallel.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a cement road that lasted 70 miles was built.

The completion was last year and it shocked the government and the public.

The key problem is that this rich man is not the richest man, not to mention Suzhou, even in Changshu County. He is still a few positions away from the richest man.

The reason why the road was built was to be an official, but the court actually gave me a commendation. I don’t know whether it was Dengshilang or Shilang. Anyway, the plaque has been erected this year. Several generations of people finally had a sign that can show off at the doorstep of the home of the local tyrant in Changshu. From then on, their identity suddenly changed and they were no longer a local gangster...

I remember that when Zhang De went to Chang'an, he became a man from Liangfeng County. Jiangyin County was honored. Now the brand is still there. Later, he was promoted to Liangfeng County and became another brand. Before Zhang Da'an took office, the former county magistrate sent two yamen runners to guard every day, which is glorious.

One Zhang Gongjin has such energy, what about the other Changsun Wuji?

The madness of the rich people in Suzhou and Changzhou is naturally self-evident. Whether it is seeking money or official positions, or even asking for nothing, just wanting to meet Mr. Ling Gong, you can still yell loudly when you return to the countryside.

Fame can be transformed into energy invisibly.

This is especially true in the countryside.

"The style of Wu is really unique. Even the courtyards and pavilions are extremely ingenious. Compared with this, the houses in the north are more simple."

The rising Changsun Wuji went to Huqiu Mountain to visit. At this time, the yellow and red forsythia had already grown buds, and the yellow petals were about to bloom from the buds.

There are many rich courtyards in Huqiu Mountain, but they are not messy, but they are staggered. The local aristocratic families in Suzhou really make Changsun Wuji sigh.

Even almost cakes were as he said, "extremely clever".

They are all mung bean cakes, but there are a few tricks to make from Suzhou, which makes it look comfortable.

"The local area is rich and there is no need to worry about food and drink. We must pay attention to it, which is purely due to human nature."

The staff nodded slightly and agreed with what Changsun Wuji said, but he still expressed his views.

"What do you see when you walk around these days? "

"Rich."

The two words summarized everything, and Changsun Wuji sighed, "If you don't come to Suzhou, you still don't know that the Jiangdong products are so abundant. The yield per mu of six stones... is just ordinary."

"In recent years, Songjiang has been renovated and fertile land has been expanded outside. I heard that there are 700,000 to 800,000 mu of fertile land."

He followed and said, "After this year, even if you can't count four million stones, you can still kill half of them, which is really amazing."

"The account is not settled in this way."

Changsun Wuji shook his head, "If China has to go to the point of increasing land, just because the official side is an excellent political achievement. But in Suzhou, this is not the case. Do you know why?"

"I hope the lord will solve his doubts."

The person who followed him was not smart, but his position was different, and there was a huge deviation in his viewing angle.

"For local officials in Suzhou, increasing taxes compared to previous years is just a breeze. However, one stone doubles, only two stones, but if ten stones doubles, it will be twenty stones, and the difficulty will naturally increase. The local Suzhou products are abundant, how can we think so?"

After saying that, Changsun Wuji looked serious, "If you are an official, you only need to calculate the performance of your performance, and you have to make careful calculations every year. So even if you develop one million mu for two days, you will only report a hundred thousand mu of output every year for three or five years, and you will only report a hundred thousand mu of output every year, and you will have excellent performance every year. If you report it once... you will only make a profit once."

"ah?"

The follower was stunned, "Didn't it mean that Suzhou has reported less land and increased yields?"

"There is another thing. At that time, Huating and Kunshan were specially invited to Wuhan to invite students from Linzhangshan. The three families of Zhang, Lu and Yu were helped by the three families in Songjiang, and only 700,000 to 800,000 acres of land were added... Others might have thought it was shocked, so they believed it. But I didn't believe it. With this kind of strength, I would probably have lost one digit."

"A digit missing?"

He muttered and looked at Changsun Wuji in a bit incredible way, "Lord, one million, seventy or eight hundred thousand acres? How is this... possible?"

"A rural villager in Changshu can build a cement road of 70 miles. I ask you, how many people can build a cement road of even Qilichang in Luoyang?"

"this……"

It’s not that the powerful and powerful in Luoyang have no money, but that no matter how you look at the cement, they will first use it to build a pigpen, toilet, bathroom, swimming pool, etc....... to build roads? Isn’t this a waste?

"Understood?"

"Thank you, lord, for answering your questions."

"Although you are smart, you still lack practical experience. A few days later, when Zhang Cao came to see me, I had something to say to him, so you can listen to something and prepare early. In the future, you will not lose your future as an official in Jiangdong."

"I'd rather be willing to play in front of my lord."

"The force that works..."

Changsun Wuji cursed and sighed, "Changsun's family is in turmoil. God knows when it will perish."

"How can the lord say this?"

"You don't understand."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji sighed again, "I just hope the emperor is healthy and far better than His Majesty the Emperor."

Just feeling is just feeling. In reality... His Majesty the Tai Emperor is at his age and can still produce one or two princesses every year. His ability is like learning from the Zhou emperor's good example.
