From the gate of heaven

Chapter 46 [Everyone earns together is the real earning]

A large number of corvees were conscripted to dig coal in private coal mines, and public equipment was used for private use.

Fake accounts to embezzle royal mining tax.

The coach used the army to seek personal gain for himself.

This article, once found out by the court and dismissed from office, it will be light.

If the imperial court is in a bad mood and wants to make an example of others, it will be a fate of copying the family and exterminating the family.

Hearing Lin Ze's words of pouring cold water, several people in the field calmed down a little.

"Don't be afraid of the inspectors, they can spend money to buy them. As for Mr. Li's transfer, you don't have to worry too much. You can communicate with the superiors at that time. The same year as Mr. Li's fellow who came here to serve as the magistrate of the coal mine will give him a dividend, which is enough to ensure the stability of the coal mine."

Gao Fei pretended to speak confidently.

"Are you right, Master Li?"

In order to find confidence, he also specifically asked Li He.

"I don't have that much face and connections to curry favor with the angels of the official department and let them decide the appointment issue according to my wishes."

Li He poured cold water on him without hesitation.

Compared with Gao Fei, who was born in a powerful place and did not know the heights of the sky and the earth, Li He knew how stern and selfless those inspectors were.

Normal officials Mushou Fang collected taxes for the court as their achievements, but these officials from the Ministry of Officials made their achievements by catching other officials' mistakes.

Even if it can be bought, it is not something that can be done with a small amount of money. Is it enough to invest all the proceeds from the coal mine?

At this time, Lin Ze began to pour cold water on it again.

"Master Gao, there is one more thing you missed."

"I previously assumed that the annual profit of tens of thousands of taels was based on the fact that each miner dug at least two thousand catties of coal every day. If you want to dig so much coal, you must pay them generous wages and provide sufficient food to supplement their physical strength."

"If corvée is imposed and they are asked to bring their own dry food to dig mines for free, firstly they are unwilling, and secondly because they are not full enough to eat and have little energy to work, then it will become inevitable for them to work without exerting themselves."

"In this case, even sending out the entire county government office to supervise the work is of no avail."

"If you can't dig out coal, even if you want to buy Shangguan, where will the money come from?"

What he said was not only Gao Fei, but also Li He and Liu Pei who were beside him were speechless.

"On the contrary, if we operate the coal mine normally, we don't have any illegal operations, which can stand anyone's investigation."

"A lot of jobs are provided, and the people can sell their labor steadily to make money. The imperial court gets more tax money, and several adults also have more money to operate and promote their positions. Everyone earns money and everyone gets benefits. This business can last for a long time."

Finally, Lin Ze made a conclusion.

"Zi Yi, how do you say you should act?"

At this time, Li He took the initiative to speak.

They also discovered at this moment that although Lin Ze is young, his ideas are very righteous.

What's even more rare is that he won't get carried away by huge profits.

"Master Li said that it is feasible to send criminals in the prison of the county government to the coal mine to mine. Our mine can pay the prisoner's wages at a normal price, and this money can be used as extra income for the county government. You can use this money to distribute benefits to your subordinates, Master Li."

"In this way, many yamen servants will be mobilized more easily."

"We pay the mining tax normally. Master Li can use the received mining tax to give an additional reward to the soldiers. It is very reasonable for Master Liu to arrange sergeants to patrol. This is called protecting the big taxpayers in the county. No one can fault it."

"In addition, the county government can also buy more coal, and use it to smelt more refined iron to make farm tools and improve the efficiency and scale of agricultural production. This is also a merit."

"Then it's Mr. Liu's side. Suppressing bandits can be done frequently, but arresting mountain people is unnecessary. After our mine is up and running, we can pay high wages. If they want to make money and improve their lives, they will go down the mountain and settle down for us."

Lin Ze selectively adopted the suggestions made by the three.

After the hotheaded stage passed, they also recognized Lin Ze's idea.
-
"Then the next step is the distribution of benefits."

At this time, Lin Ze began to talk about the most critical issue.

In the next operation of the coal mine, Lin Ze is responsible for making the coal mine operate. The county magistrate provides policy and background support, the master book is responsible for coordinating merchants and various interpersonal relationships, and the county magistrate provides combat support. Everyone will play a role.

In order for the operation of the coal mine to continue for a long time and stably, it is necessary to give a distribution plan that satisfies everyone.

"I am in charge of making the coal mine operate and make a profit. I will take half of the profit. How about sharing the rest between several adults?"

Lin Ze spoke directly, first demarcating the parts he needed.

It is reasonable to split half of the cooperation with local snakes.

Lin Ze's status as a first-class master also gave him the confidence to have an equal dialogue with several officials.

His influence may not be as strong as that of several officials, but he has outstanding personal force and the ability to turn the table, and is responsible for the most important operation of the coal mine. Of course, he must get the most benefits.

"I want two and a half."

The magistrate opened his mouth, but he didn't refute, and he tacitly agreed that Lin Ze would pay [-]%.

He had the highest status present, and he had thousands of yamen servants at his disposal, even Gao Fei was his subordinate.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party still has a local powerful identity, it would be impossible to participate in the interests of the Fenrun Coal Mine, and it would be no problem to take the lead from the remaining half.

The other two didn't speak, acquiescing to Lin Ze's needs.

"I want [-]%."

The county magistrate said that he had five hundred armored soldiers under his command, which was the largest force in the county.

If it wasn't for the county magistrate who blocked his logistics, he could be said to be the most powerful present.

"The remaining half of the achievement belongs to me."

Goofy made no comment.

He felt that this method of dividing interests according to their respective strengths and forces was very reasonable, and directly took the scraps left over by the big bosses.

After all, he has neither a large army nor too many yamen servants to call on, and what he can contribute is only the contacts he has accumulated in the local area for many years, so it is not bad to get half of it.

Dividends from coal mines and the ability to sell coal for profit as a shareholder are also thousands of taels of income a year, so there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"Since everyone has no doubts about the distribution plan, in the future, the benefits will be distributed according to the agreement at this moment."

Lin Ze spoke.

The next step is to write the contract. Lin Ze distributed the shares of the coal mine to the other three people present according to the agreed profit sharing. It was agreed that Lin Ze had the management right of the coal mine and the priority to repurchase the shares. Of course, they did not hold the shares in name.

"Then a few adults, we will have a happy cooperation in the future."

Lin Ze smiled and cupped his hands.

"Pleasant to work with."

Several people looked at each other and laughed loudly.
