Even if people in later generations set up a party with great lights and wine, they must be called "charity party", which shows the importance of justification.

If Mr. Zhao said that we will make a fortune together in the future, and share the money with a large scale, and share the silver with a small scale. Although this is obviously the case, it will make people take your money but still look down on you. Without the minimum respect, how can we talk about building consensus?

On the white path, consensus must be moral, at least superficially moral.

For example, when Mr. Zhao took the fleet to Japan, it was obviously to monopolize trade and rob other people's gold and silver, he couldn't say it directly, "I will take everyone to burn, kill, loot, and even if a consensus is formed, it will be poisonous." It will only make his coast guard team quickly fall into a gang of pirates and villain concentration camp.

So although that's obviously the case, Mr. Zhao must say that we are going to make the Japanese pirates pay their blood debts! Only by standing in the name of righteousness can the soldiers firmly believe that they are the justice side and kill the enemy without any burden.

The consensus that Mr. Zhao found for Jiangnan Group and the officials and gentry was "poverty alleviation".

Because in the moral system of the state, "If you are poor, you will be safe and if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world" is a very important code of conduct.

This is the theoretical basis for scholars to become officials, which is very important because it makes them think that they are moral in doing so.

Although it is possible to make a difference, it is self-consistent at least on the spiritual level. After all, there are very few officials who dare to admit that "I am an official just to make money and to make a few women for more than a day."

Therefore, Zhao Hao seized the point of "poverty alleviation" and occupied the moral commanding heights. It is of great help to enhance the corporate image of Jiangnan Group and to gain the reputation of officials and gentry.

Then he will continue to strengthen this concept and make it eventually become a political correctness, thus gaining the support of the entire Jiangnan people. By then, the Jiangnan Group will be truly invincible in the world...

"This kid is getting more and more experienced. If this continues, no one can play with him." At a table below the stage, the lonely painter spit out the chewed duck bones, rubbed his sleeves randomly, and asked Zheng Ruozeng beside him, "What are you giving me?"

"I don't have this pattern." Zheng Ruozeng laughed and said, "It seems that these things are all born to the young master."

"Indeed, it seems that he came from another world." The writer nodded and said deeply: "From ancient times, he is the only one who can break out of the ruling of emperors and generals and also has the ability to try to take a new path."

"Journey to the West World?" Xu Wei sneered: "I used to think he was Sun Wuzi, but now I feel like the old silver coin of Tathagata."

"I can only say that if the sky does not destroy my Ming Dynasty." Pan Zhongqiu smiled and knew the writer. The most important thing is that he was also in jail. After coming to Kun to teach, he naturally entered the iron window gang.

"I just don't know if the Ming Dynasty was still the same now." The painter said, and naturally took Pan Zhongyan's food.

"Why are you eating mine again?" Old Pan said angrily: "I just ate my petal gelatin!"

"The Buddha jumps over the wall too tired, so the elderly should eat less." Xu Wei scooped a spoonful, squinted his eyes and smacked his lips: "The taste is average, so I don't like this kind of big banquet."

"You fat man have the face to say it!" Pan Zhongqiu wished he could stuff the cloisonne soup cup into his mouth.

The writer looked at the two quarrels with a little resentment, feeling that they were a little redundant...

Mr. Kaiyang just laughed, he was already past the age of jealousy.

The four of them tacitly understood and did not continue the topic just now, as if it was not worth mentioning.

After lunch, today's ceremony ended here, and the guests went home one after another.

The guides presented a souvenir, a bag of cement... not!

This time it was an exquisite mahogany box. When opened, it was an exquisite glass bottle lying on the blue silk lining, and the bottle contained half a pound of white sugar as crystal as snow.

The guests were very satisfied with this and felt that Jiangnan Group was so generous. Glass and sugar were the two high-end products that Jiangnan Group has focused on recently. The two items together cost less than 20 taels of silver.

The key is that there is a shortage of stock now, and you can’t buy it if you have money.

The guests returned with satisfaction, and some of them stayed there. Half of them came from the ten prefectures of Jiangnan and had not yet joined the counties that integrated Jiangnan. The other half came from Huizhou, Ningbo, Xingguo and other prefectures that were not classified by Zhao Hao as "Jiangnan Economic Integration".

They surrounded Mr. Zhao and a group of senior executives and actively asked to join the group.

The so-called "Jiangnan Economic Integration" is a concept that Mr. Zhao took advantage of the opportunity of supporting the silk industry in each county as a bundled introduction. Now, among the ten prefectures and sixty-one counties in Jiangnan, forty-three counties have joined this organization one after another, and have established or are preparing to build a development company based on the Kunshan model.

In addition, all counties that joined the group have established Jiangnan Bank and, in accordance with the Suzhou model, signed a package of cooperation agreements with the government, including forced use of silver notes and agency money and grain accounts for the government.

Although the problem of silk unsalable sales has been solved, the internal and external sales have been firmly controlled by Jiangnan Group, so none of these prefectures and counties dare to withdraw from the group. This ceremony was even more unsuccessful, and everyone came to congratulate...

Moreover, the prefectures and county officials have also done this well. With the Jiangnan Group, the people can earn money from drought and flood, and taxes are naturally guaranteed, and the development company can also achieve political achievements for the county.

In addition, Jiangnan Bank has a clear account and strict income and expenditure procedures, which cut off the tricks of the treacherous clerks, which greatly helps the masters to seize the financial power and are naturally very popular.

Those Jiangnan prefectures and counties who had various concerns and hesitated to join the group for so long have seen it clearly for so long. If they don’t join the organization quickly, they won’t even have to drink soup at that time, so they will take advantage of the opportunity to attend the celebration and express their intention to join.

"Hahaha, welcome, everyone is getting high in fire." Zhao Hao naturally wanted to express his welcome, so that his economic territory would be complete. So President Jiang would visit various counties after the New Year and sign contracts with them one by one.

The officials and gentry from each county then put their hearts back in their stomachs and left with souvenirs.

The prefectures and counties that are not among the ten prefectures are also jealous. They all instigated Huizhou Prefecture to make a comeback and asked Mr. Zhao to open a gap with the elders of his hometown so that they could take advantage of the situation.

"This is a handwritten letter from our Mingfu to the young master." Huizhou Tongzhi handed a letter to Zhao Hao with both hands and said with apologies: "Mingfu said that the three generations of the Zhao family were all the pride of Huizhou. Huizhou must help this 'Jiangnan Economic Integration'!"

"How can we not have such a grand event without our Ningbo two prefectures in Shaoxing?" In addition to presenting the prefect's handwriting, Shaoxing and Ningbo Tongzhi also took out Zhao Jin's letter, which was asked by the two prefects with shamelessness. The old brother's hometown, Yuyao County, is under the jurisdiction of Shaoxing, but the relationship with Ningbo is closer.

"The Jiangnan Group's mines have been dug to our Guangdezhou, how can we not bring us here!" The Guangdezhou Tongzhi said excitedly. The Changguang Coal Mine of the Jiangnan Group is located at the junction of Changxing County and Guangdezhou, and most of them are still in the latter territory.

"We, and we..." The rest of the people also delivered letters.

"Okay, please listen to me first." Zhao Hao was so quarreled that he quickly asked someone to accept the letters of request. After everyone calmed down, he slowly said:

"I am very grateful for everyone's love for Jiangnan Group, but I want to make it clear that when the group formulated its key development plan, it considered the natural economic connections. The ten Jiangnan Prefectures are located on the plain, along the Yangtze River and around Taihu Lake, and the water transportation is very convenient. It has long formed an economic integrated area centered on Suzhou. This is the fundamental basis for formulating Jiangnan Economic Mutual Aid Zone."

"But for example, my hometown Huizhou, "eight mountains, half water, half water, half land, and one branch of roads and manors" is inconvenient to the above-mentioned areas, so it is difficult to integrate with the Jiangnan economy. Otherwise, we Huizhou people would not have come out at the age of fourteen or five and go to various places to do business."

However, Jiangnan industry and commerce are in the hands of Huizhou people...

Zhao Hao clasped his fists apologized and said, "This is the reason for Guangde Ningguo Chizhou. We are afraid that we will not be able to achieve integration, which will disappoint you!"

Mr. Zhao is the truth, because in this era, water transportation was the only reliable low-cost transportation method. Plain was a prerequisite for economic take-off. Later generations went to New China, the integration of the Yangtze River Delta was only in the scope of Hangzhou, Jiahu, Susongchang Town, Susong.

Two thousand years later, as infrastructure craziness went crazy and the transportation problem was solved, the concept of the Yangtze River Delta was gradually expanded to the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui.

Zhao Hao's integration in Jiangnan is just a variant of integration in the Yangtze River Delta. Of course, he could not break through the limitations of natural conditions and could only make a fuss in the plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

"We will be disappointed if we don't bring us here..." Seeing that he refused, everyone muttered.

"The transportation in Ningbo and Shaoxing is convenient." Ningbo Tongzhi's friend who represented Zhejiang protested: "It's just apart from Songjiang in Hangzhou Bay!"

"We can't stretch our hands so long." Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly: "The reason is to bring Hangzhou, Jiahu, and Hu in because they have always been closely connected with Taihu and Suzhou. Shaoxing and Ningbo are still far from reaching the group, and they can't chew too much."

Just as everyone showed disappointment, he changed his tone and said, "But the same sentence, Jiangnan Group cannot let you down your love. Let's do this, we have also established a mutual aid organization on the integration, so everyone can join this first to see."

"Mutual Aid Organization?" Everyone was confused.

"Yes, Jiangnan Economic Mutual Aid Organization." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "All the discounts given to the integrated region by Jiangnan Group can enjoy by members of the mutual aid organization. But they do not force themselves to join the integration process... In fact, this process will not make people so comfortable. It requires many times to cut off their arm, obey the overall situation, and also evaluate the progress. This way you can also be easier..."

Everyone was not stupid. They could understand what Zhao Hao said in a tactful way. He actually regarded them as peripheral organizations outside the core area. Fortunately, they were not trying to develop the economy of the county, but just hoped that Jiangnan Group could provide economic support and introduce Jiangnan Bank. Zhao Hao fulfilled their wish.
