Daming talker

Chapter 307 Any other questions? (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
After sending away the two government officials who were very satisfied, Lin Daguan returned to the house.

Gao Changjiang couldn't help but asked: "It's not a small amount to take out 5000 taels in one go. Is it really okay?"

Earning 5000 taels a year and taking out 5000 taels of cash at once are two different concepts.

Lin Daguan said confidently: "You can rest assured that those Yangzhou salt merchants have plenty of money!

After I straighten things out in Suzhou, I will go to Yangzhou to look for money. After the autumn harvest, I will return to Suzhou to solve the shortage of Jinong warehouse without any delay! "

Gao Changjiang reminded again: "Jinongcang wants real objects, not money, which is the greatest significance of Jinongcang.

Only 5000 taels of silver is not enough to accomplish the task. 5000 shi of rice and grain must be stored in the warehouse, which is more difficult than simply raising [-] taels of silver. "

Anyone with a bit of social common sense will understand that although buying a few buckets of rice and buying [-] shi of rice are both buying rice, they are two completely different concepts of transaction.

To give the simplest example, if Mr. Lin Daguan promised to purchase [-] shi of rice, the price of rice in Fengqiao Town, the largest rice market in Suzhou City, would increase by [-]%.

In addition, there is another situation that many people are not aware of. Jiangnan, especially the Suzhou area, which is known as the granary of the world and transports a large amount of grain to the court every year, by the late Ming Dynasty, the locally produced grain was actually not enough for the local people.

There has been a phenomenon that the land of plenty has to import a large amount of grain from other places. The reasons are very complex, and the main reasons are nothing more than the development of industry and commerce and the rapid increase in population.

In this context, Lin Daguan wanted to acquire [-] stone meters. He only said that the acquisition itself was also a complicated project.

At this moment, the waiter outside the door came to report again that Yuan Xianzun from Changzhou County had come to visit.

Lin Daguan then smiled at Gao Changjiang and said, "Isn't the ten thousand stone grain coming soon?"

Gao Changjiang: "???"

Immediately after that, Senior Official Lin trotted out to welcome him, saying repeatedly: "Mr. Shi Gong is highly regarded in the literary world and is my most important talent in the world. How come he came in person? It really offends me!"
I haven’t seen him for several months and haven’t listened to Mr. Shi Gong’s teachings. I miss him so much!I should have visited in person!

This spring I fought vigorously against the retro-style faction in Beijing, but without Mr. Yuan Shigong’s talent, knowledge and guidance, I was unable to completely suppress the retro-style faction.

It seems that the important task of shaking the hegemony of the retro school in the future will still be shouldered by Mr. Shi Gong! "

Yuan Hongdao, the magistrate of Changzhou County, who was now known as Shi Gong, was surprised when he heard what Lin Daguan said.

In the past, you, Lin Tailai, could only praise yourself. After all, you, Lin Tailai, were just the leader of a society at that time, and your literary reputation was limited to Suzhou. You had to seek for yourself in all aspects.

Now that the situation has changed, Lin Tailai's identity and influence have been greatly different. Why is he still praising himself like a minor character?

Even the former magistrate was made disgraced by you, Lin Tailai, and left in disgrace, while he, Yuan Hongdao, was just a magistrate!

"Speak to someone! Don't be pretentious!" Yuan Hongdao, a very casual person, stepped out of the threshold and pointed at Lin Daguan.

After living in Suzhou City for so long, I still don’t know what kind of temperament you, Lin Daguan, have?Who is disgusting by pretending to be a little fanboy like this?
Official Lin replied: "My respect for Mr. Shi Gong comes from the bottom of my heart, especially my respect for Mr. Shi Gong's ancestors."

Yuan Hong said: "???"

It's just a matter of flattery, why are you suddenly talking about your ancestors?
Rumor has it that once Lin Daguanren's words suddenly start to jump or forcefully change, it means that he is ready to dig a hole.

Then I heard Lin Tailai say: "I heard that Mr. Shi Gong's great-grandfather was a chivalrous man and was famous in the countryside for his bravery."

Yuan Hong said: "."

What does it mean?Do you, Lin Tailai, want to say that you are just like my great-grandfather?
Lin Daguan did not emphasize too much the similarity with Yuan Hongdao's great-grandfather and continued:

"I also heard that Mr. Shi Gong's grandfather was the most famous rice merchant in Jingzhou. He once loaned two thousand dan to others in a disaster year and burned the loan coupons. I admire this righteous deed very much!"

Gao Changjiang, who was accompanying the guests next to him, finally understood in seconds that the secret of sitting in the restaurant was here!

Just spend some money and ask Yuan Hongdao's family to bring [-] shi of rice from Jingzhou, Huguang, and that's it!
He has also heard that Huguang's grain production has grown rapidly in recent years, and some ignorant people have begun to boast that "Huguang is well versed in the world."

And the Jingzhou area where the Yuan family is located is a grain-producing area, and the Yuan family is a rice merchant, so isn't it a perfect professional match!

Go to Yangzhou to scrape money, transport rice from Huguang, and finally solve the shortage of Suzhou City's agricultural warehouse.

What is a pattern, this is called a pattern!

Yuan Hongdao blinked a few times and said first his great-grandfather, then his grandfather. Next, did he say father?
Lin Daguan sighed and said: "Now the Jinongcang in the two counties of Suzhou City is short of [-] dan. I am determined to imitate my grandfather's righteous deeds, but I don't have any rice in my hands."

Of course Yuan Zhixian knew about the government government's loss of money from the county's agricultural warehouse, and he personally went to the government office to demand payment.

It's just that Yuan Zhixian didn't expect that Lin Daguan would take over this matter and directly lamented that there was no rice in front of him.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Yuan Xianzun said grandly: "With the friendship between you and me, if it is a few hundred stones, I can make the decision and give it to you!"

Then he said in a very embarrassed tone: "But a sum like ten thousand dan is too big to give away."

Lin Tailai asked doubtfully: "Who said you would give me [-] stones?"

Yuan Zhixian said in surprise: "Don't you, the official Lin, like prostitution for free the most?"

As a celebrity, he can't escape the fate of being fabricated by rumors. There is nothing he can do if Lin Daguan is a little angry.

"I'll pay for it! I just ask your family to transport the rice to Suzhou, and then the price will be more favorable and don't fluctuate randomly!" Yuan Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was really willing to pay, so it would be easier to talk about it.

Ten thousand dan is considered a big deal. How can a merchant not want to get a big deal?
As a prodigal who only knows two things: reading and having fun, Yuan Hongdao feels that if he can get a big business for his family, he will be able to spend more money in the future.

Then a new problem came again. Long-distance transportation of bulk goods was also a very troublesome matter.

If there is no one to protect him, the risk will be immeasurable, and Yuan Zhixian does not want to try his luck with his own [-] shi of rice.

So he asked again: "From Jingzhou, Huguang, to Suzhou, the waterway is quite convenient. Just go down the river and then turn into the canal."

There is no problem with the waterway in Huguang, but when it reaches the lower reaches of Jiangxi and South Zhili, can you protect it thoroughly? "

"You have also seen the Hushu Customs Envoy in the King's Capital. He will be transferred to another place soon.

It would be difficult to promote him to the post of prefect of Jiujiang, but it seems that he can be transferred to Jiujiang Pass as a tax envoy, and then also serve as a government official such as patrolling the river.

In this case, there should be no problem with this section of the waterway in Jiangxi. "

County Magistrate Yuan continued to ask: "Where is this section in South Zhili?"

Speaking of the management system of South Zhili, it may be the most complicated area. The north of the Yangtze River belongs to the governor of Fengyang, and the south of the Yangtze River belongs to the governor of Yingtian. So who is in charge of the river?

The answer is that the upstream and downstream rivers are all under the control of Nanjing. From the various Jiangfang camps to Caojiang Yushi, they are all under the control of Nanjing.

Lin Tailai thought of something and asked: "Has there been any news about Hai Qingtian, the censor of Nanjing Youdu, recently?"

Yuan Zhixian shook his head blankly, "I haven't heard of it, why are you asking?"

Lin Daguan knew very well that if the original historical course was followed, Hai Rui would have passed away this year.

I wonder if in this time and space, after coming into contact with myself, I will be angry and live for two more years.

No news is good news, at least so far.

"I can also have a few words with Hai Qingtian of Nanjing City." Lin Daguan said thoughtfully: "When the time comes, I will write a letter to Hai Qingtian and say that I will give [-] dan to make up for the shortfall of Jinongcang in Suzhou City. The rice grains are crossing the river, please take care of Hai Qingtian."

Yuan Hong said: "."

Is this moral kidnapping or moral kidnapping?But if you think about it carefully, it should still be very useful.

In this case, the problem along the river in South Zhili should not be big.

Then the following section of the Jiangnan Canal is not a problem. After all, this is the territory of Yingtian Governor Zhao Zhigao.

At this point, Yuan Zhixian finally realized that the idea of ​​transporting [-] shi of rice from his hometown to Suzhou City was not just a fantasy, it was very feasible.

Lin Daguan added more words: "Suzhou is rich in products. After the rice ships from Huguang come over, they will definitely not return empty. They can carry a batch of goods back to Huguang, which can make another profit."

If that doesn't work, I'll arrange for some white goods to be transported back by rice ship. "

"What white goods?" Yuan Zhixian was puzzled.

Lin Daguanren replied: "It's just something very salty."

Yuan Zhixian was speechless. He came to Lin Tailai today because it was the second half of the year again, and there were only three or four months left before winter leisure.

Therefore, Yuan Zhixian, who had tasted the benefits of the Sanjiangkou Project last year, wanted to come and work with Lin Daguan to figure out what other scenic spots projects could be carried out this year, and the inscriptions and poems had to be prepared in advance.

But I never expected that I would find such a big business for my hometown.

After thinking about it, Yuan Hongdao said: "I will write to my father immediately."

Lin Daguan continued to say disgustingly: "Looking forward to the good news! Regardless of whether this thing succeeds or not, it will not affect my respect for Mr. Shi Gong!"

After sending away Yuan Hongdao, the magistrate of Changzhou County, Lin Daguan said to Gao Changjiang calmly: "What do you think? Ten thousand shi of grain is not difficult. What's the problem?"

From the outside, it seems that Lin Daguanren has not changed much since he returned to Suzhou this time, and he is still as arrogant.It's just that no one in Suzhou messed with him now, so he lost the opportunity to take action.

But in the eyes of close confidants like Gao Changjiang, Lin Daguan has changed a lot.

Previously, what Lin Daguan had been thinking about was, firstly, fighting and killing in the arena, and secondly, how to collude with officials and grab resources.

Now Lin Daguan is thinking more about how to schedule resources and how to allocate resources.

Moreover, the vision is not limited to Wuxian or Suzhou City, but has begun to form higher-dimensional interest groups across regions and systems.

Gao Changjiang had heard about the models of many Jiangnan aristocratic families, but he had never seen anyone like Lin Tailai.

　Here’s an update first, asking for the last monthly ticket this month!
