Three hundred and seventieth chapters iron bucket (2)

Wang Hexuan's character is a good teacher. When he saw the governor ask, he felt proud and smoked a bag of cigarettes first. Then he said slowly: "Master, Brother Jingzhai is a good at handling criminal titles. But if you want to say that this common affairs is not very proficient, and you are not familiar with the Lin family who opened gold mines, so you can't explain clearly. Everyone knows that it is a profitable business, but the matter is done by humans. If you do it like the Lin family, you will naturally not be able to make money. Lin's ancestors mined this gold mine. He made some money in his early years, but by his grandfather's generation, he could not dig gold on the surface, so he had to dig deep. According to the digging of gold

The old miner said that the surface of this gold mine is called cow lice. Although there are many, the quality is not good and the quality is not high. If you really benefit, you must dig deep. When you dig a big Taurus, you can pull gold and urinate silver and enjoy endless wealth. But if you want to dig deep, you have to use machinery. The Lin family adheres to the ancient method, and does not say that the method passed down by our ancestors is the most useful. They are unwilling to use Thai machinery or hire foreign personnel. A few people's lives are taken, but they still cannot touch the root. Besides, the road of the gold mine is rugged, the transportation of gold is difficult, and the cost of manual transportation remains high. How can you make money? In addition, things have to be thrown in the mine."

It is the most normal thing to lose gold in gold mines, but when miners go down the well, they ask to be naked to avoid entrapment. How should the gold be brought out? Wang Hexuan smiled strangely, "Those miners use the method of stealing silver in the silver warehouse in the capital, and hiding gold from the valley road. Not to mention Taurus, even the ox hair and ox tail are cheaper, but the master cannot see it. Later, the owner of the Lin family thought of a solution, and they set up a large scale outside the door and found a worker as a weight. Every worker goes down the well and needs to weigh it, and he must also weigh it out, for fear that he will take away the gold. Using this method, can he prevent the stealing and cannot be kept, but the hearts of the people can no longer be kept."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "What this is very important is that if I run a gold mine, I will set up a security team to prevent theft and robbery, and those who violate the law will be sent to the yamen for disposal. Secondly, I will never do these tricks and not allow workers to make enemies with the mine owner. Besides, I will have to treat them."

His modern salary and welfare concepts were not available in this era, and even Taixi had just said a clue, a few staff members nodded, "The Grand Marshal is really kind-hearted and admired by the students. But since ancient times, since kindness has not been in charge of soldiers, righteousness but wealth, and dealing with miners, he cannot be kind. If he does this like the Grand Marshal, the cost is too high."

"What the gentlemen have taught me is that I will discuss with foreigners this level. In short, I must get the gold mine. I will get the silver notes for 10,000 silver."

Wang Hexuan asked, "Master, don't ask me, how do you plan to pay for 10,000 yuan in silver?"

"I said that if I use people, I will let go of it. How can I arrange the silver for Mr.? Even if I use up all ten thousand silver, if things fail, it will be God who will not bless me and it has nothing to do with Mr.."

Wang Hexuan's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up and gave Zhao Guanhou a solemn gift. "The general trusts me so much. If the student has any selfish intentions, he will not only meet Brother Jingzhai without a face, but also the elders of this hometown, I will also meet him without a face. This matter is for me, and the gold mine will change its owner."

When he went out, Zou Jingzhai said, "Master, now the Master is in charge of Shandong. The students don't know what the Master will do next?"

"In terms of civil affairs, I think there are only a few parts. One is justice and the other is police. The first is to arrest public security. Then it is to study politics. The court must implement new laws and teach Western learning instead of old learning. Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Among the northern provinces, the place where the literary style is the most prosperous, so it must be affected. However, this is a major policy, and you must accept it. If you are not used to it, you must accept it. If you have a lot of resistance in the countryside, I will ignore it first. Let's start with the city. Then there is a river management. However, I am not very familiar with the situation of the Yellow River, so I have to waste some strength."

Li Runnian was the magistrate of the first county magistrate, so he was dismantled because the river was not done well. When he heard that Zhao Guanhou wanted to control the river, he immediately asked: "Master-in-Chief, before the Hongyang Rebellion, the vast yamen in the Great Jin Kingdom was a river maker. There were 365 days a year, and a chef had to cook only one dish and could drink flower wine. If the work payment of millions of dollars was 30% of the time, he would be considered attentive. If he used 50% of the time, he would be considered a saint. If he did this, there would definitely be a problem. I wonder how you plan to treat it?"

"One word, go. I ride a horse and take people. I have to walk the entire river section in Shandong, take a boat to inspect and ask the old sailors. Finally, I check the county and county annals, check the water conditions in previous years, and prepare sufficient information. I calibrate the hydrological warning line, and send people to guard the dam during the flood season. Once the water level is found, the people will be evacuated immediately and transferred to the placement. The river worker designated the responsible person to build according to the section, and the responsibilities between the sections are clearly distinguished. If the natural disaster is destroyed, there is nothing to say. If the dam collapses, I will stuff the responsible person into the river. Each responsible person must have time to be responsible. If it is not time, even if he is old and returned to his hometown, he will be arrested and compensated and beheaded."

Li Runnian couldn't help but nodded, "Master, if you treat the river like you, the Yellow River will definitely be cured, and the floods in Shandong will definitely not be a problem. I am afraid that the floods in neighboring provinces will extend to our province. This is how the official's top dress was taken off."

"There is nothing to do about this. I am just the governor of Shandong, not the governor of the river defense. I can only manage my own part. I am not easy to interfere with other people's management. But I will not blame the subordinates for doing things like me."

Zou Jingzhai nodded and said, "Brother Run, I asked you to come out of the mountain, right? I have been a police officer for decades, and I have met countless high-ranking officials and nobles. But who can match the great commander with the spirit of a capable minister?"

Several people laughed for a while, and Xia Manjiang suddenly said, "Master, the student has a report of his feelings. The student paid money and grain. Recently, he checked the taxes and found that I, Shandong, had a source of wealth, that is, earth paste. The harm of opium is known to everyone, but now the people's addiction to smoking has become. Although it is banned, it is just that the imperial court can't do it. Students and others, they also ate cigarettes and the troops use medicines, and they cannot do it. In the court, they heard that even the Forbidden City had a hibiscus fragrance. Moreover, tobacco paste was originally a medicinal material, and it was completely banned. Where did the pharmacy come from? In the end, foreign merchants were given a new law and shoveling cigarettes from other provinces. The students' opinion was a strategy. It was nothing more than to let opium be made from the public and private. Not only did it not be used for the country, but it was instead allowed to waste the tobacco tax to be out of nothing."

"What about your opinion according to Mr. Xia?"

"According to students' thoughts, it is better to follow Yiwu's wisdom than to shovel the ban. Just like Qinglou, Qinglou collects flowers and donations, and earth paste collects taxes. Seeds collect taxes, traffickers collects taxes, and smokers need to go to the government to indicate and issue a license. License holders are allowed to smoke, but unlicensed are not allowed. When applying for a cloth licence, you must pay the cost of work and cigarettes, and you will also receive a monthly donation of cigarettes. Although this money may not be very large, it is better to have a long flow of water. Another thing is Shandong salt profit, which can produce 400 trillion kilograms of salt every year. The income from salt tax is very small. One or two personnel are assigned to rectify it, and it is not a problem to get hundreds of thousands of silver every year."

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "What the gentleman said is that governing the Yellow River, running education, and implementing new policies are all things to do. We don't have to hurry. We are not the Restoration Party. We will succeed overnight. Take your time to do it one by one. Let's see what the scene in Shandong will be like in a few years."

Not long after, Wang Hexuan replied. The one who came with him was another acquaintance of Zhao Guanhou, Cao Zhongying.

Wang Hexuan laughed as soon as he entered the door, "This time it was almost flooded to the Dragon King Temple. When he arrived in Zhaoyuan, he found that someone had made a plan for the eldest son of the Lin family. He had already used thousands of silver to store the bottom. Just when he was about to close the mouth, I inserted it into it and almost broke the plan. After two talks, I knew it was the commander's sworn brotherhood, so this was easy to do."

Cao Zhongying also smiled and said, "I heard that Guan Hou had released the governor in Shandong. I also wanted to gain some wealth and make a little fortune. Unexpectedly, I liked it, you also liked it. There is nothing to say. The two swells are combined into one swell to do this. But I still have to say that Senior Wang is worthy of being an old qualification and is really beautiful in doing things. I have to learn from him in the future."

Originally, Cao Zhongying found a good player in the casino to play the game, first luring Mr. Lin into the hub, losing thousands of silver, and finally harvesting. When Wang Hexuan joined, the sedan chair was lifted higher and higher. One night, he won away Mr. Lin's ancestral home, his wife, daughter, field, and finally gold mine.

After the gambling game ended, Wang Hexuan returned all the lottery tickets outside the gold mine to Mr. Lin, and offered another 3,000 taels of silver. He promised that no matter how much money was lost in the gold mine, he would give Mr. Lin to deposit 500 taels of silver in Siheng every year. This money only takes interest and does not change the capital. As long as Mr. Lin does not fall, Mr. Lin will not worry about not having life-saving money.

Young Master Lin was alive and regarded Wang Hexuan as his reborn parents. The procedures were extremely neat and he quickly completed the procedures for changing the gold mine. Wang Hexuan refused to accept the remaining 7,000 taels of silver and insisted on returning it to Zhao Guanhou, saying that if he met the wise master, he would have to repay it. The small money was not seen in his eyes.

Zhao Guanhou's view of this playboy improved greatly, and he felt that his social engagement was a rare talent. He also said to Cao Zhongying: "Fourth brother, you are here, don't leave. I am the governor and my subordinates are employed, so you just happen to be a substitute for me."

"This is something that I can't get, but there is a layer of things. What can I do?" Cao Zhongying hesitated. "If you want to donate an official, I can donate it if I have money, but the problem is that I don't have the ability to work. Besides, I am also impatient to go to the court to ask for cases and serve as a yamen director. We are our own people, and we don't cheat our own people. As an official, we will probably mislead things. Even my elder brother's military camp doesn't want me. If you arrange this, don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Zhao Guanhou smiled and said, "This is definitely not the case. I guarantee you like the errand I arranged for my fourth brother. Two words, no smoking."

"I ban smoking?" Cao Zhongying was puzzled. "Brother, you know, I can smell the soil between two miles. I can't get through if I don't smoke dozens of tubes every day. Do you want me to be responsible for banning smoking?"

"It is because of your ability, Fourth Brother, that you want you to be the chief executive of the Smoking ban Bureau. I will send someone to serve as a co-organizer for you. You will be responsible for the black goods in Shandong. My requirements here are very simple. No smoking is allowed in the army, and no smoking is allowed in the yamen without my permission. Others who sell cigarettes must see the benefits. Use cigarettes and medicines in the pharmacy to check the number. No one is allowed to keep in the private dealer, unless the fourth brother has a good nose, no one can do it."

Cao Zhongying nodded repeatedly, "If you want to say that, that's good. As long as you walk in front of me, I will definitely know whether he will eat cigarettes or not."

Spring drives away the cold winter, and autumn wind sweeps away the scorching sun. The leaves on the trees turn yellow and green, and turn yellow, forming one cycle after another. The situation in Shandong is also changing with each passing day. Cao Zhongkun's fourth brother Cao Zhongying, after a sacred election ceremony, was elected as the general office of the Shandong Smoking Bureau by the Shandong elders who loved him. As for how a Tianjin person became the object of support from Shandong people, it is the highest secret and must not be disclosed.

After taking office, he made drastic moves and banned smoking, with great results. Less than three months after taking office, several surrounding provinces knew that Shandong's ban was strict and rushed to tell me, "Young and young men, if you want to sell cigarettes to Shandong, as long as you pay enough taxes, the officers and soldiers will protect them along the way."

Although most of the tobacco dealers are in groups and are armed, the general defense camps are not their opponents. But they are always worried about the fact that they are fighting against the official army. No one is willing to fight for their lives. At first, neighboring provinces were gloating about this, and some people were waiting to write a book to participate in Zhao Guanhou’s mischief.

But not long after, they couldn't laugh. Shandong's tobacco administration not encouraged the export of opium tobacco. The General Office of the Anti-Smoking Bureau is also the largest wholesaler of opium, and at least one extremely outstanding mathematician serves as an assistant.

There is an extremely detailed calculation of the demand for opium in a province. He first bought this amount of opium and then sold it. This is official cigarette, because it is tax-free and the price is cheaper than private cigarettes. Moreover, smoking official cigarettes can be discounted in taxes.

Although those tobacco dealers are taxed, they cannot sell in their provinces and their lives are extremely difficult. At this time, someone comes up with an idea that Shandong is not allowed to sell cigarettes, but can sell them to neighboring provinces. If the neighboring province is rushing to pursue them, as long as you pay enough taxes in Shandong, the General Office of the Smoking Bureau will send you a letter of appointment as a smoking ban specialist. You can ensure safety and safety in Shandong. Therefore, you are caught and the government will also go to protect them.

Encouraged by this, opium dealers paid taxes in Shandong and then dumped private areas to Henan, Shanxi and other provinces. When the government arrested them, they fled back to Shandong to avoid disaster. With this method, not only did the ban on smoking in various provinces not look better than Shandong, but their fiscal revenue was greatly affected.

In addition, railways, river engineering, and Shandong are all very vivid, making the neighboring provinces more and more incompetent. However, neighboring provinces are also difficult to describe. Shandong's extraordinary popularity is carried out on the premise that abducts a large number of young and strong people in its own province. If they live a good life, several surrounding provinces will suffer.

Someone once asked about this, and Zhao Guanhou's answer was just one sentence: I am the governor of Shandong, I will take care of Shandong's affairs. Don't ask me if there is any Shandong affairs. After hearing this answer, my colleagues commented: This son must not be a military opportunity, otherwise he will cause harm to the neighboring country and cause trouble. (To be continued.)
