Chapter 93 27 yuan! !Any duck that comes to your mouth will fly away! 【Please subscribe】
When Song Changming heard this, he immediately waved his hand and called his man.
The guys took their money and donated it.
And Xia Yuanji was also very open-minded. He directly put three dots on the word "one" on his one hundred guan, and it became [-] guan.
Song Changming was happy now.
He even said to his friends next to him: "Hahaha, look, my name is on the inscription for the first time. It even has my business name engraved on it. From now on, when everyone sees the words "Xinglong Hao", they will be able to identify with me. Contact Song Changming, eh, this is a living sign!!"
The eyes of the traders below turned red with envy.
Want to know whose name can be engraved on the inscription? Either a famous person or a capable person.
The names of famous ministers and generals from past dynasties are engraved on stone tablets for future generations to admire.
I have never seen the names of ordinary people engraved on stone tablets.
For a moment, the businessmen below who were much richer than Song Changming felt regretful. They had known that I had donated money.
I can donate a thousand guan, but if my name is engraved on the top, won’t it bring glory to our ancestors? Many people actually know their names. The only thing that can be engraved on a stone is on a tombstone.
And those who can be engraved on the merit monument are not ordinary people.
This time, by donating money, I can leave my name on the merit monument, and it can also be placed on the official road for everyone to admire. How glorious that is.
What is the best thing to leave to your children and grandchildren in the future? Keep money?If they can't keep it, money will be a disaster.
Isn't it better to leave this good reputation to them? This is the best education.
From now on, if you have nothing to do, take your son to the merit monument, point to your name and say, look how many good things you have done.
Among the relief food for the [-] to [-] disaster victims, there is one penny of your father's money.
From now on, you must be as promising as I am.
This is the biggest stimulus for them.
One thousand guan is really not a big sum of money when the value of treasure notes has depreciated to this extent.
Therefore, under the stimulation of Song Changming's incident of giving a mere [-] guan to the merit monument, the businessmen knew that the court was serious this time and were not ambiguous at all, so they donated money and carved the monument on the spot.
That means that as long as all the inscriptions on the monument are filled, there will be no quota.
So the traders below immediately started shouting while holding up their treasure bills.
"I'll donate two hundred dollars!"
"I'll donate four hundred dollars!"
"I'll donate a thousand guan!"
"Two thousand sticks!"
"..."
In an instant, these four to five hundred people donated money like crazy.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and his son looked down below, grinning.
OK, this is a good idea.
The size of the inscription could allow at least five hundred people's names to be engraved on it.
That's a lot of money.
The officials were also dumbfounded. How could they still play like this? Why is it so easy for these traders to get money?
Normally asking them to donate a copper coin is like cutting their flesh. Why is it so satisfying this time?
Some officials responded quickly.
In fact, this is not just a matter of donating money. What they donate is money and what they get is reputation.
Some officials immediately thought quickly and thought to themselves: Those traders who have donated a lot of money will need to find partners to do business in the future. To prove their strength, all they need to do is wait for their partners to come to the stone tablet and point to the name on it and tell them.
Look, I even donated so much money. Do you think I have no strength?
This is the biggest capital.
These business people are very smart. They don't just donate money casually. This is not just about buying people's hearts.
In the future, doing business will also be a living sign.
After thinking of this, the six ministers admired the wisdom of the emperor and the prince.
Especially the two big enemies, Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Qin Kui, the Minister of Industry, had fought bloody battles over the headcount bonus.
It often happens between two departments: you impeach me, I impeach you, you scold me, and I scold you.
But now they realize, why should I care about these miserable people? Taking money from these rich people is a big deal.
Judging from Xia Yuanji's open mouth, he has made so much money now.
Zhao Mian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was filled with regret. Originally, this job was his, but he was a little hesitant. He was afraid that he would not be able to complete it and he was afraid of taking responsibility.
So he still hesitated and tried to push back with his subordinate Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue.
I didn't expect that Xia Yuanji would have such a good opportunity at such a young age.
What a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds, what a great opportunity to win over people's hearts, and what a great opportunity to deal with businesspeople.
When everyone praises me in the future, they will definitely say: Look, the opportunity Mr. Xia gave us.
Oh my God, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are too biased. If you had come up with such a good idea at that time, why would we have hesitated and even thought it was a hot potato?
This is not a hot potato. How fragrant this potato is when roasted.
It's just a pity that I have no vision, and any duck that comes to my mouth will fly away.
This fund-raising ceremony can be said to have attracted the attention of the entire capital, and the news spread throughout teahouses, brothels and Chu Guan, large and small.
What Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, regretted the most was that at this donation ceremony, the average donation amount per person was five hundred guan.
As expected, there were 27 names engraved on the stone tablet, which meant that the amount of donations raised this time alone was as much as [-] yuan, which was more than enough to cope with this disaster.
Xia Yuanji promised on the spot in front of the Confucius Temple that every copper plate there would be used for this disaster relief.
At the same time, all the traders were informed directly in front of everyone about this new disaster relief method, that is, work-for-relief.
The traders were a little curious when they heard such a novel method, but many people with quick thinking quickly understood the meaning of Xia Yuanji's words.
That means using the money to hire disaster victims to work.
In other words, even though I have given away money now, if I run a good business later when victims of the disaster gather around the capital, I might be able to earn it back.
When I thought of this, I suddenly felt that this idea was really good. It has been a truth since ancient times that it is easier to do business when there are more people.
If this is the case, maybe he can gain both fame and money this time, and he will immediately prepare to move a large amount of goods to the capital after returning.
After seeing such a scene, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son already knew that there was no need to worry, as long as they gathered all the people together.
When Qin Kui, the Minister of Industry, saw that the emperor had left, he patted Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, on the shoulder: "Master Zhao, do you think you are too clever to be clever?"
Zhao Mian was not happy to be provoked by him in this way, and immediately jumped up: "You can, you are amazing, don't forget that after they got so much money, they asked you to announce the plan, are you so awesome? ? What will you do then? Qin Kui smiled: "You don't have to worry about it now!" "
The other ministers looked at him with gloating expressions.
Zhao Mian was so angry that he didn't know how to vent his anger.
Now Zhao Mian has simply become the biggest joke.
……
Yashan Village.
Ling Han, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, came back very happy after hearing the news.
He wanted to share this joyful news with Princess Jiangdu as soon as possible.
in the kitchen.
Xi'er was also looking at the happiness on Princess Jiangdu's face and was sincerely happy.
"Chen Han is really a god. The method he gave not only solved the difficult problem for all of us, but also gave the Ming Dynasty such a big gift. He will start repairing it immediately according to His Majesty's wishes. road plan.
The dozens of miles of road from outside Sanshan Gate to the foot of Zhongshan Mountain must be widened, and the cost will be borne by donations.
It is also necessary to renovate the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Gongyuan, Sheji Altar and Confucius Temple in the capital.
My God, I have been an official in the capital for so many years and have never seen such a battle. It is almost necessary to renovate all the important buildings in the capital! "
Princess Jiangdu's face was filled with happiness when she heard this.
This made her happier than praising her directly.
"I said he must be able to do it. How much money have been donated in total this time? Is it enough?" Princess Jiangdu asked.
Ling Han said directly: "Princess, is it enough? You really underestimated the power of more than 500 traders. These guys are quite rich and directly donated as much as 27 yuan.
This is not just a matter of providing disaster relief, it is simply enough to feed them for several years. "
Princess Jiangdu became even more proud when she heard this: "I said he must be able to do it."
Ling Han smiled and said: "I really didn't expect that Chen Han is so capable not only in long speeches, but also in governance. He is really a rare talent, but now we can only use deception to get things out of him. Pity.
If he is really allowed to participate in government affairs, I don't know how much he can achieve. "
Speaking of this, everyone showed a helpless expression on their faces.
Xi'er interjected from the side: "It seems that our Mr. Chen is still a genius!"
Princess Jiangdu's face was full of pride.
"Princess Princess, your recommendation to ask me to talk to Chen Han was a stroke of genius, helping Daming solve such a difficult matter.
According to His Royal Highness, if the work-for-relief program is successful this time, we can directly use this as an opportunity to relax some restrictions on traders.
With such a good thing as a step, the voices of opponents in the DPRK and China can only die down.
In fact, it can be seen that the more people oppose it, the more important it is to implement it, because those opponents may not be doing it for the sake of the court, but the more forbidden things are by court law, the more unimaginable things can happen to some people who slip through the net. huge returns. "
Ling Han was indeed an old official who had already seen through these things.
Many of them are vested interests, and they are afraid that the court will relax restrictions on buyers and sellers, thus bringing many competitors to themselves.
Chen Han heard Ling Han's conversation that night.
After listening to their inferences, Chen Han basically agreed with them.
The commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty was not developed at this time, which forced many people to store their silver. If this matter was not resolved, it would be difficult to demonetize silver.
To solve this problem, we must mobilize the enthusiasm of buyers and sellers.
Ling Han and the others are right. If there are no traders involved in this matter now, I don't know when we will have the opportunity to solve the situation of the victims.
The fact that they can implement the method given by Chen Han shows that they have a relatively clear understanding of business.
They no longer talk about business, so under this situation, Chen Han is relieved.
At least after giving so many warnings, these smart people have begun to wake up.
Even judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's stubborn character, he already knew that none of his descendants would live up to expectations.
It is easy for the court to have no money to spend due to too little commercial intervention.
So now we might as well start from our own generation, or from the founding of the country.
Zhu Yuanzhang can also be regarded as an emperor who does good things well.
Although he started out as a farmer, even though he had hated the landlord class since he was a child.
Although he has hated those businessmen and officials since he was a child.
But he walked very steadily on paving the way for his children and grandchildren.
Although he is doing these things now to pave the way for his children and grandchildren, he does not want his children and grandchildren to have money because the court has no money to use.
And had to succumb to various cases, had to make clever excuses to make money, and then forced the people to revolt in the end.
He really understood that the Ming Dynasty was originally founded by the peasant uprising. If his dynasty was really destroyed by the peasant uprising, it would be a big joke.
This is tantamount to forgetting one's roots.
Therefore, his starting point is not just to make the people of the world live a better life.
His starting point must be that he wants his children and grandchildren to live a better life.
This starting point is like a fire, it may not be able to illuminate everyone.
But his starting point will at least warm the people around him a little bit.
Chen Han could not change the idea of a small family in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
But he can amplify this idea and take care of the people as much as possible.
Now it seems that it has a little effect.
Next, it depends on whether Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, can go further in business.
Of course, what Chen Han didn't expect was even more.
Xia Yuanji, Emperor Yongle's great butler and money bag, had already been reused during the reign of Emperor Hongwu.
According to his current age, Xia Yuanji is only a 26-year-old young man.
But it is really rare to have such a creative act.
Chen Han never thought that they would hold such a donation ceremony directly in front of the Confucius Temple.
He also relied on Shang Yang's reforms of Qin State to gain the recognition of the people, especially the business people.
Chen Han gave the direction of the Merit Monument, but they were able to draw inferences from one example, which shows that these people are really much smarter than themselves...
