Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 397 Getting Started With Huge Money
After Shen Zhezi and others rushed in, the crowd of onlookers was already in chaos. When the successors Cai Mo, Wen Chong and others arrived, it was already several hours later.

The welcoming army settled in the camp that had been prepared long ago, and Cai Mo and others accompanied the ministers who came to welcome them to the Xingtai.Because the welcoming people were too enthusiastic and delayed the trip, it was getting dark now, and it was already too late to go to see them again, so we could only wait for tomorrow.But it's not that everyone has nothing to do. Apart from saying goodbye to each other, there is also too much information and ideas to communicate with each other. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

It's just that when he was on the road again, Shen Zhezi was again dumbfounded by his mother-in-law's over-the-standard arrangements.The empress dowager personally arranged the four-looking chariot, the guard of honor with swords, and the advocacy of Baoyu, etc., all in accordance with Zongwang's specifications.Even though he hasn't had time to meet the Empress Dowager yet, through this series of arrangements, Shen Zhezi can feel that his mother-in-law's love for him has climbed to a new level.

However, too much is too much.Shen Zhezi has no psychological barriers to accept such things as those who are over [-] shi in the suburbs, but this group of guys who eat the king's salary are firmly in the rear. Now, if they take a step to welcome themselves, Shen Zhezi will certainly not have any burden .But Zong Wang Yijia is a bit conspicuous, which will make people have too many unnecessary associations.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi did not use this set of guards of honor, but just followed the guards of honor with everyone.

The night was getting darker, and under the half-moon sky, the entire Yanshan Manor was shrouded in a radiance of lights, as bright as day.After a group of people entered the manor, they went straight into a large banquet hall. There were already rich food and wine prepared here, and some actors and actresses entered in a file. Soon there was joyous singing and laughing, silk and bamboo fluttering.

Shen Zhezi listened to the praise and flattery of others in the banquet, and gradually felt a little bored. After sitting for a while, he got up and left.Originally, as the main character of this time, it would be rude for him to leave early, but there was such a scene when he returned earlier, and everyone knew that there was a pretty lady in his family who missed the king like a disease and dared to use force directly, so it was not good to make a noise Stay there, and let him leave after a few jokes.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Shen Zhezi returned to his family's residence in the manor.Because there was only one disturbance two days ago, this time he returned home and did not disturb too many family members. Only the princess was wearing a pink short skirt and several maids welcomed him into the house.

As soon as you step into the house, the most conspicuous thing is the many gifts placed inside the courtyard. Many large boxes wrapped in silk and brocade are piled up in the courtyard, with almost nowhere to stand.

Seeing Shen Zhezi's surprised expression, Princess Xingnan narrowed her eyes with a smile, took Shen Zhezi's hand and said with a smile: "My husband has made great achievements in the battlefield and is famous in the universe. Don't be at ease, my family's family is more prosperous than many squares in the city, and the threshold will be broken! Fulang saw only a part of it, and there are a few warehouses, which have been piled up early."

With that said, Princess Xingnan grabbed Shen Zhezi's wrist and walked lightly towards the back house, ordering people to open the houses on the left.As soon as the door was pushed back, a pile of fine silk satin rolled out.Shen Zhezi stood at the door and looked in, only to see a large number of brocade boxes and wooden boxes piled up in the room, almost overflowing the beams!

When the princess presented the thick list of presents that had been sorted out, Shen Zhezi flipped through it for a while, and couldn't help but smile.It's not that his family's reputation as a rich man is not without benefits, that is, he dare not visit the door for casual gifts. Many items on this list are based on cars!

Since the Liyang rebellion, Shen Zhezi had completely let go of family affairs, and looking at this thick gift list at this time, he could feel the changes in his family's position in the current situation from the date.The first peak period for the introduction of these gift goods was when the Empress Dowager arrived at Jingkou Xingtai to start a business. Although there were many gift givers at that time, it was not an exaggeration.Although there are very few vulgar objects such as money and silk, many elegant toys can still be marked with "pieces".

The second peak period was when East Yangzhou was established. At this time, the number of gift goods soared, and the types were no longer elegant utensils. The emphasis was on bows, knives and armor. When this part of gift goods was introduced, Shen Zhezi was still in Jingkou. They also took advantage of the situation, sent part of it to Kuaiji, and the other part was directly armed with a group of trilogy around them.

The craziest time was when Shen Zhezi regained Jiankang. The book value alone was not enough to show how popular the Shen family was at that time.In the words of the princess, she is so busy every day that she doesn't touch the ground, she has to receive visitors when she opens her eyes, and brings many gifts and goods into the house. Besides the simple goods, there are also a large number of servants and servants.So much so that the princess suspected that these gift-giving families could not afford to support so many families, so she took this opportunity to send them to his house.

Of course, Shen Zhezi didn't have the chance to meet those beautiful maidservants. Some of them were taken away by Shen Ke to betrothed to many shady households without spouses, and the other part were packed and sent directly to the Empress Dowager.King Langya alone received more than 30 maidservants presented by the princess. If this boy hadn't been taken care of by the empress dowager and relied on his salary alone, he might be as poor as Shen Mu and couldn't even afford porridge.

Of course, after this peak period, the situation dropped again, until Shen Zhezi came back a few days ago and made a fuss in the southern suburb of Jingkou.As a result, the gifts received in just a few days have far exceeded the previous few months!

This is also very understandable. In the past, those people's visits were just icing on the cake to join in the fun.But in the past few days, with Yu Yi's attitude suddenly becoming tyrannical, coupled with the hustle and bustle of accompanying the capital, how can those people who have shown signs of betrayal feel at ease.

In this way, the gifts received in the past six months have been accumulated, and the book alone can be calculated to be more than [-] million yuan!As for those treasures, antiques and elegant toys, the specific value cannot be calculated at all!
What concept is this?The Shen Family Nanyuan is so well-known in the capital, and the turnover in two years is only so much!And this figure also includes all costs such as labor, freight, and materials.

As Shen Zhezi entered the capital, the affairs of Shangmeng and Yinjue gradually let go of things here. It is difficult to fully grasp the details even if they only care about the outline.But just from this list of gifts, he can already imagine that in the past few years, people like Jingkou have been fed so richly!

It is not surprising to think about it carefully. In the past, people said that in business, the collusion between government and businessmen is the secret to huge profits.However, with the current trend, coupled with the unique environment in Jingkou, it is no longer collusion between the government and businessmen, but the officials rolled up their sleeves and ended up doing it!
If they hadn't accumulated such abundant capital, it would be impossible for those Jingkou families to be so eager to go further, such as the body of a long time, being lured by people's fingers, and the sky thunders stirring the fire, and the love for adultery is hot!
Seeing Shen Zhezi in a daze, Princess Xingnan bit her red lips and whispered: "Shen Zhezi, do we have to accept all these gifts? Will this arouse too much controversy? Those people these days It's like crazy, there are carts and carts sending gifts to the family. The platform is nearby, and people's eyes are mixed, or else, let's return a few carts..."

Seeing the little girl's tangled face, full of worries and reluctance, Shen Zhezi couldn't help being amused, he gently closed the gift list, and said with a smile: "I'll dare to ride a mere hundred or ten horses." Going straight to Jiankang, will you still be intimidated by this mere wealth? Don’t worry, if they dare to give it away, my family will dare to take it! There are tens of thousands of mansions, can’t they still save a little property?”

"Shen Zhezi, you are so heroic!"

Princess Xingnan rested her chin in her hands, and her eyes were already a little bit starry. She didn't have any special hobbies for goods, but since everything arrived at her home, she felt that it was her own. Sending it back for no reason always felt too pity.

Shen Zhezi had no intention of being a flawless and pure minister at all, besides, speaking of integrity in this world is as inappropriate as eunuchs discussing techniques in the house.Besides, in order to restore Jiankang, the Nanyuan of his house was burned down. Shen Zhezi knew exactly what was going on in the treasury, so he didn't even need to think about reimbursement.

If anyone dares to say that he accepts bribes in front of him, then Shen Zhezi really wants to burn that house down first, and then come back to reason with him!

Besides, the so-called bribery is the use of one's position to seek unjust gains for others. Shen Zhezi has never held any position in Jingkou.Even if others are jealous, they can only lament that they are not popular, and everything else is nonsense!
After this incident, Shen Zhezi also realized that people like Jingkou have been completely fattened up, and they should indeed harvest a batch.On the way here, he had already discussed with Yu Tiao, taking advantage of the current turmoil in Jingkou, to reduce Yinjue's establishment and make room for other people to join.

Moreover, with the promotion of Jingkou to the accompanying capital, some people who are eager to seek political progress can also exchange their wealth for political resources, relax the amount of donations, and collect part of the funds for the expenses after returning to the capital, as well as Jiankang. The rebuilding of the city.

Since the implementation of the Nine Rank Officials Law, the administration of officials has not been easy. Instead of keeping those rich and poor families who have nowhere to go to be isolated from the ruling class, it is better to open them up, which can increase the centripetal force of these people.Moreover, the current practice of giving up one's willfulness in order to gain fame and become an official is even less clean and useful than selling an official directly!
It is very dangerous to isolate the inferior and poor families from the ruling class.The reason why the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished was because the aristocratic families were declining day by day, and these families were becoming stronger and stronger.To put it bluntly, the essence of the Tianshidao uprising in later generations was a riot caused by a group of inferior sects who were not satisfied with their political status. If it was simply an uprising of the poor, it would not have caused such great harm.And Beifu, the military leader group, is similar in essence, but its military capabilities are stronger.

And to take a step back, even if the selection of officials is corrupted to the extreme, as long as the army is not chaotic, it is possible to contact the insightful people in the family to overthrow the official system and start over.The aristocratic family not only has old honors and fame, but also family education. In the current era of academic monopoly, the imperial examination is not to oppose them, but to put a layer of protection on their political career!
Of course, all of this is not a simple matter, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. Shen Zhezi knows very well that only by gaining more and more pragmatic support from current people in the North, can it be possible to overwhelm Jiangdong's increasingly mysterious and absurd fashion.If you just close the door and do it yourself in Jiangdong, it will only make the vitality that is already lacking even worse, and you will no longer have the strength to look north.

　Considering that I may not be able to write too much today, I'd better stay up all night and rush out. . .In addition, regarding the benefits of selling an official, let me explain that in this era, it is indeed a little better than the ninth-rank official law, at least it opened a hole for the poor.For a powerful like the Shen family, political progress has been difficult in history, so what will they do?rebel!From Wang Dun's rebellion to the Tianshidao uprising, there has always been the shadow of the Shen family.This intensified the local eccentricity. Since it is no good to mix with you, it is better to pull the team to rely on both ends.In addition, the next book says poor family means having economic foundation and no political privileges, not impoverished and no family.
