Chapter 1523 Conception
Tongsi Bridge seemed to be crowded, and the boat passed through the bottom of the hole-shaped bridge from time to time. A fisherman with a full harvest of bamboo basket was holding a bamboo tube and paddling to the small pier not far away. Several women from Huanxi were pounding their clothes.
The teahouse next to it is still lively.
Lin Weiran sat in front of the table near the river, like an authentic Jiangnan man sitting here eating refreshments, listening to some local gossip, enjoying the beautiful scenery around him, and finding a moment of leisure in this bustling Yangzhou city.
Because he was accompanied by his beautiful woman today, he did not listen to what others were talking about, but sometimes appreciated the scenery of the river bank, and sometimes followed Hua Yingrong to eat and chat.
Food is a common hobby for everyone and can also make people feel happy.
Hua Yingrong is a relatively conservative person. Even if he shows up outside, he is mainly engaged in some business activities, but in fact he still has a gap with the market.
Especially she was really too stunning. Once she appeared in public, she would attract bees and butterflies and cause some unnecessary trouble, so she rarely dined outside.
Now that Lin Weiran is accompanying her, she has an unprecedented sense of security. Like now, even if she has taken off her veil, it is impossible for anyone to come forward and be careless to her and feel the autumn sunshine comfortably.
Feeling on the face.
When she found that the food here was still open, she seemed to have discovered a new world. Her beautiful eyes shone with a shimmer, and the corners of her mouth also curled up a beautiful curve.
Because she was strictly disciplined since childhood, she looked very elegant when eating, which made many diners who were following her and stared at Lin Qingran with envy and jealousy.
Lin Qingran naturally ignored the jealous gaze next to her and took the initiative to add a crab roe bun that had just been sent to her bowl. He said with a smile: "This crab roe bun is very delicious, and I just happened to it.
This is how I found this good teahouse. Just when it comes to where to find delicious food, Hu Niu is the most amazing. She can always find delicious food in Leizhou City, Guangzhou City and Beijing City, which makes me very big
Have a good time!
Some things are indelible and even more memorable. During his days with Hu Niu, Hu Niu did bring him a lot of surprises, and even tasted various delicacies of this era.
Whenever he thinks of these past events, his mood will become good, and he even wants to go back to his days as the prefect of Leizhou or the prefect of Guangzhou and back to that wonderful time.
"When I was in Guangzhou City, I heard Hu Niu say that there was a frying frog shop that tasted great, but I didn't dare to go there, so I shunned her several times!" Hua Yingrong smiled warmly,
He said with some embarrassment.
Lin Weiran thought of the smell of the fried frog, and shook his head with regret and said, "That's really a delicious dish, you should really try it!"
"My husband really loves Hu Niu!" Hua Yingrong looked up at Lin Weiran, but suddenly said.
From Changlin Village, to Leizhou City, and then to Guangzhou City, she clearly saw the relationship between the brother and sister. Now, from Lin Qingran's conversation, she clearly realized this emotion.
This is not jealousy, but an envy.
Lin Weiran did not deny it, and answered naturally: "This is natural, we depend on each other for life! You should know that life in Changlin Village was very hard, and it was not easy for us at that time!"
"I actually envy you brothers and sisters. I don't feel as if I have so many relatives in person. In fact, I have a very good relationship!" Hua Yingrong picked up the crab roe buns in the bowl and said disappointedly.
Lin Weiran was not surprised by this and expressed his opinion on the matter: "This is a common problem in the big family! There are several people in your Hua family, and you only have a daughter like you in your big house, so the battle will naturally be more intense!"
Hua Yingrong knew this was the case, and took a bite of crab roe bread, but suddenly looked up and said, "Yangzhou United Money House will be officially listed in a few days, and the initial funds can reach 100,000 taels!"
After the rapid development of the joint business group in recent years, it has accumulated a large amount of original funds. Not to mention the income from Leizhou cloth and spice trade, even if it invests huge steel industry and shipyards, it has now made considerable profits.
As ordinary people have different attitudes towards money, the United Business Group has a greater pursuit and is eager to reinvest the money, while the United Money Bank assumes the important responsibility of "spend money".
Hua Yingrong was entrusted with an important task and was responsible for the preparation and operation of money shops in various places. Now he is developing two major businesses of the United Money shop, savings and flying tickets, in a low-key manner.
As for the banknote issuance business that makes people talk about, it is quite lagging behind. It is not that United Money Bank does not want to interfere in this business, but that United Money Bank's credit has not been established yet. With no too tough support, it is not advisable to take steps.
Too big.
The Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes were originally good, which solved the disadvantages of the lack of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty. However, this monetary system was long been ruined by Zhu Di’s martial arts man. By the Jiajing Dynasty, it became waste paper and silver had become the official circulating currency.
Now, if the United Money Bank wants to obtain the right to issue currency, in addition to its own strength, it also needs to gain the trust of the people, so that it can have the opportunity to become the "Ming Dynasty Central Bank".
However, the development of the United Money Bank is not slow now. It has already taken root in Leizhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture and Zhejiang Prefecture, and now it plans to establish a large semicolon in Yangzhou.
Lin Qingran attached great importance to the United Money House. After taking a sip of tea, he asked seriously: "How much money will Yangzhou Money House give to those bankrupt stove owners so that they can solve the debt problem?"
He proposed the Yangzhou United Money Bank. His original intention was not to make money, but to assist him in rectifying the Lianghuai Salt Administration and help solve the debt problems of bankrupt stove households in Lianghuai.
However, no matter what salt method is used, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good cook to cook without rice. Only by solving the problems in the production process can the effect of the salt method be maximized.
After so many years of development, the stove household group has created a significant gap between the rich and the poor, and many bankrupt stove households have been born. If this issue is not paid attention to, the salt administration will sooner or later collapse.
Lin Qingran planned not only for a moment, but for a lifetime, so he planned to provide interest-free loans to these stove owners through the Yangzhou United Business Group to directly save these bankrupt stove owners.
"All! If it's not enough, I will transfer money from Guangdong and will definitely help the bankrupt stove owners pay off their debts!" Hua Yingrong restored her image as a strong woman and seemed serious.
Lin Xuran saw her attitude so firm, and felt relieved. She carefully analyzed the pros and cons and said: "Although this is a loss-making business, it is imperative! First, it can promote the salt method.
, This is also in the interests of hereditary salt merchants, and they can reach deeper cooperation with them; secondly, it is far more important to win reputation through this move than making money!"
"Is there any?" Hua Yingrong looked at him and asked with a smile.
Lin Xuran thought about it and said solemnly: "The gold mine in Luzon will soon produce a large amount of gold and silver. At that time, we need to join hands with the money shop to spend these gold and honey. Now the most important thing for the money shop is not to spend money, but to think of a solution.
Spend money, find ways to win reputation and build credit!”
"I want my husband to not be limited to ordinary money houses, but to build the money house into the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty?" Hua Yingrong was an extremely smart woman, and she immediately pointed out the truth.
Lin Xuran hesitated for a moment, nodded seriously and said, "If I can climb to a high position, I hope the Ming Dynasty can establish a new monetary system, rather than relying on overseas gold and silver in the future and being overly restrained by overseas forces!"
This is indeed his bold idea. The problems of the Ming Dynasty are multifaceted. The collapse of the Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes laid hidden dangers. If you want to bring this empire to life, you will undoubtedly build a new monetary system.
Out of distrust of the Zhu family dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that an uncontrolled emperor like Zhu Di or Jiajing will appear in the future. The monetary system will naturally not be controlled by the emperor, and the consortium will undoubtedly be more suitable.
Hua Yingrong has extremely high business talent and understands Lin Junran's thoughts, and she seems to be a little appreciative: "If my husband has not entered the court, he will definitely be better than Shen Wansan in business!"
"The outcome will not be much better than Shen Wansan!" Lin Qingran picked up the teacup and said bitterly.
Whether it is his experience in his previous life or the books he read in this life, he understands that the way wealth is distributed is divided by the ruling class, and is often through barbaric plunder.
As the saying goes: Every man is innocent and has a sin. Even the current joint business group is not covered by him, either dependent on a court boss or has been eroded by others.
"My husband, we can't be Shen Wansan!" Hua Yingrong knew the dangers in it and immediately said seriously.
"Don't worry! I know how to go on this road!" Lin Weiran saw the hidden worries in her eyes, and immediately comforted her with a smile.
Since he chose to enter this vortex of power struggle, he naturally followed a lot of thinking, not only guarding against the risks in the court, but also trying to strengthen himself.
This time the rectification of the salt administration gave him an opportunity. Although he completely offended the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, Li Pengju, Marquis of Linhuai, Fan Qianshan, and others, he also won over the major forces in Yangzhou and various places.
The most important thing is that he, the left deputy censor, was destined not to stay here for a long time and would be able to return to the capital soon.
The Censorate has a clear position allocation. For example, the left Censor is in charge of the Censorate and will handle government affairs in the capital. The right Censor, the right Deputy Censor, and the right Censor are usually the titles of local governors.
Lin Qingran is the left deputy censor of the Censorate, but in fact he is the second in command of the Censorate. His main responsibility is to assist the Censor of the Censor of the Censorate. Now that the matter of the Gangyan Law is completed, he will inevitably be recalled to the capital.
If he returns to the capital, since he returns with merit this time, he is usually promoted and directly enters the six ministers' sequence.
Although due to age, I am afraid that I can only get six ministers with low value, this is a crucial step, allowing him to reach greater authority as soon as possible.
Whether it is an external investigation or a Beijing investigation, he will have greater influence by then. At that time, he will be able to continuously strengthen himself and become a minister in the future.
When Hua Yingrong saw the confidence in Lin Weiran's eyes, she knew very well that this man was not polite, but that he did have this ability and one day he would definitely be able to be the best minister.
It was just as we were talking that a noisy sound came from outside the teahouse.
Lin Fu heard the news and went out to check it out and came back soon to explain the situation. It turned out that a noble man returned from a brothel. Because the road outside the teahouse was narrow, he was hit by an old man who was picking fish.
It was not a big deal, and the noble man hit someone first, but his clothes were dirty, which made the noble man furious, but he wanted to teach this little old man a lesson.
"This set of clothes is worth 1,000 taels, your life is not enough to pay? An old man with no eyes, I will teach you a lesson today and beat you hard!"
The noble man waved the paper fan in his hand, and the four servants rushed towards the old man like evil dogs, and even punched and kicked him. Even though the old man begged for mercy, the noble man was still unmoved, and the corners of his mouth were slightly touched.
It rose up.
Seeing this movement, it attracted a lot of people to watch. A scholar suddenly stood up and said, "Stop, it will be bright and bright, how can you, the evil young man, do such a miserable act like this!"
The noble prince looked for his reputation and saw that he was a poor scholar. He immediately smiled coldly and said, "It's just a scholar. He dared to deal with me and beat me up!"
"You dare! Who are you? How dare you be so arrogant!" The poor scholar looked at the two servants walking towards him, feeling very angry and immediately questioned.
The noble young master glanced at the poor scholar and said proudly: "I am Zhang Wuji, Songjiang. If I were in Songjiang Mansion, the Japanese young master will definitely destroy one of your legs!"
"I went to Songjiang a while ago. I really should have stayed for a few more days to see Mr. Zhang's style!" It was at this moment that a scholar walked out of the teahouse and said.
Zhang Wuji turned his head and looked at the scholar who walked out of the teahouse. Although the other party was dressed better, he looked contemptuous and said: "Do you also want to care about this young master's affairs?"
But as soon as the words were finished, Tiezhu, Lin Fu, Chen Jing and others had already rushed out of the teahouse and easily beat the four evil slaves to the ground. The attack was not light, and the four evil slaves moaned on the ground in pain, but no
One can get up.
Zhang Wuji was very surprised and immediately asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"
"My elder is the left deputy censor of the Censorate!" Lin Fu faced Zhang Wuji's nervousness and immediately reported Lin Shiran's identity.
"Sir, the Imperial Envoy?"
Zhang Wuji's eyes widened hard and his mouth opened slightly, but he never expected to meet Lin Weiran here, and he couldn't help but be completely stunned.
When he first stepped into Yangzhou City, his father tried to restrain himself. But just before passing this dilapidated teahouse, he knew that this was the territory of middle and lower classes, so he wanted to be arrogant, but he didn't want to meet him.
Chapter completed!
