Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 37

Eight years before Chongguan, Gu Tianqiao was still the tent of the Hutang Tieliangshan Tea House, holding moon silver to support his family. After entering Jiangning, it was also because Gu Wuchen couldn’t find any other descendants in the Gu family who could support him. But because the relationship with the Gu family is not as close to Gu Siming, and it is not as good as Gu Siming’s ability to please the young master of the Gu family, Gu Siyuan and his wife, so he was excluded from the direct relatives of the Gu family, but gave him the opportunity to get together with Lin Fu.

The development of the situation in the next few years, the changes are so drastic, people are dumbfounded——

In the eighth year of Chongguan, how many people in the world could have imagined that Lin Fu would change the world’s situation with the rise of a little prisoner in the Jianghuai?

Gu Tianqiao is no longer the honest shopkeeper of the tea house he used to be, but a big man with a fortune, who stomps his feet in Jiangning city and shakes the ground three times. Gu Tianqiao is the leader.

It’s a shame that he gave Zhang Yubo a sap in the head. If it wasn’t for Lin Bing who finally stood up to mediate, it would be hard to say whether Gu Tianqiao could guarantee his head that time. Gu Tianqiao still feels uneasy when he sees Zhang Yubo.

At this time, Zhang Yubo was serving as an inspector in Jeju. If Lin Fu had not personally ordered the generals and gave Gu Tianqiao all kinds of benefits, he would not have been willing to go to Jeju.

Of course, Gu Tianqiao, who has been deeply involved in Haidong commerce and trade over the years, also knows that Jeju is not only not a place of bitter cold, but in comparison, it is not even as prosperous as Jeju.

In late July, Lin Fu obtained the title of Jeju Junjun for his eldest daughter Zhengjun. He made up his mind that when Zhengjun grew up, he would go to Jeju. Gu Tianqiao naturally didn’t have so much nonsense.

Although Gu Tianqiao has been loyal to Lin Fu over the years, the grievances and grievances of the Lin Gu family are unclear and unclear. It is not a bad choice to leave Jiangning and take root in Jeju.

On the other hand, even the Jianghuai merchant gentry who constitute the backbone of Huaidong, Lin Fu no longer supports their normal business activities in the country to obtain excess profits.

In the early years, Zhang Yubo caused a storm of rice prices in Jiangning, and even tried to kill chickens and monkeys with Gu Tianqiao.

Although the incident finally suppressed Lin Bie and kept Gu Tianqiao, but in the same way, if there was no Lin Bie’s support behind him, Zhang Yubo alone, how could he have competed with the Dongyang Township Party, which was manipulating Jiangning Rice City at that time?

In the past few years, Lin Fu has also been intent on breaking the barriers between regions and industries. He wants to form a unified market that will not be divided by traditional forces in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangning. Soft hands.

The implementation of the new tax policy after 2009, the demolition tax is divided into the market tax and the city business tax, which is actually the direct abolition of the traditional demolition system. It is no longer possible for the traditional merchants operating in the tea, wine, salt, horse, grain and salt industries to make huge profits by taking advantage of the monopoly privileges of the judging system.

When the traditional selling system is abolished, although the new land system does not directly prohibit the sale and purchase of land, the land tax borne by those with more than 500 mu of grain will be twice as high as the basic land tax. A prelude to the rent.

This is second.

After the establishment of the Zhuangshang Yinzhuang, Lin Fu put up to 6 million public grains from Jiangning and other places into the Zhuangshang Yinzhuang, and sold it to the landless and a few people in Jianghuai at a very low price to raise the funds needed after the establishment of the Yinzhuang. huge capital. This move directly knocked half of Jiangning’s land prices.

On the surface, it seems that the decline in the price of farmland is more conducive to the purchase of grain fields, but in fact, the combination of renting and selling the farms and merchants has made the tenant farmers in the Jianghuai region who have no or few fields more willing to rent and buy the farms and farms. Launched grain fields. The landowners of Jianghuai, even if they have a large amount of grain fields, can not hire enough tenant farmers, and they do not dare to be short of a cent of the land tax they bear.

In fact, Huaidong Bank has been using this model for a long time.

The grain fields that Huaidong Bank took over from the Song, Chen and other big families in the early years were as high as four or five million mu. In the end, they were sold to Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, Jinan, etc., at a low price of less than three to five silvers per mu. Farmers with no or little land in Quanzhou, Pingjiang, Danjiang and other prefectures and counties. Huaidong Bank raised as much as 14 million taels of silver through this, making the bank’s principal nearly 30 million taels of silver.

The Lin Clan, Sun Clan, Zhou Clan and other forces sold their fields in Jinhai on a large scale even before this.

Although it was mainly seen that the situation in Yanji and Huaisi was difficult to preserve at that time, the grain fields in Jinhai, Dongyang and other places were sold and transferred to Chongzhou to avoid danger. But in fact, in the early days of Chongzhou, Lin Fu developed shipbuilding, iron smelting, weaving and dyeing, nest silk, paper making, mining, sea trade and other industries on a large scale. .

In fact, at the same time as the development of the new pattern, the traditional foundation of buying land for the benefit of the land has been shaken; the introduction of the new land system and the new tax policy is just a follow-up.

In the past, Gu Tianqiao was mainly engaged in the tea and rice business in Jiangning, and accumulated a fortune of tens of thousands.

In addition to buying land and buying a house and enjoying the family’s enjoyment, Gu Tianqiao did not bury the other silver taels from the tea and rice industry in the underground silver cellar. He also spent huge sums of money to buy a piece of land covering thousands of acres outside Jiangning City. The Grange has a favorable geographical location.

The new land system and the new tax policy also affected Gu Tianqiao, but it was secondary after all. Gu Tianqiao’s bigger net worth, like other business gentry forces in Huaidong, has long been rooted in banks, maritime trade, and many emerging industries. in mining and other industries.

Not to mention the decline of the tea and rice industries. Compared with the emerging industries such as industrial and mining, maritime trade, and banks, the ability to make profits has been greatly inferior. Gu Tianqiao moved his family to Jeju this time. Although the tea and rice businesses that he had run in Jiangning in the past will not be completely abandoned, in fact, there is no need for Gu Tianqiao to take care of him wholeheartedly.

Of course, when Gu Tianqiao went to Jeju, Lin Fu didn’t give him any extra benefits.

The two most important ones are that Lin Fu directly asked the Privy Council to grant Gu Tianqiao two concessions, allowing Gu Tianqiao to gather capital in Jeju, to open a bank and a shipping club, and to operate in the Haidong area, no less than Huaidong. Qianzhuang, Heishuiyang Shipping Society.

Lin Fu also directly pulled out 100,000 silver dollars from the inner government and put it into the newly established bank and boat club in the name of the eldest daughter, Zhengjun, to ensure that the newly established bank and boat club would not be affected by Huai at least on the bright side. The suppression of Dongqianzhuang and Heishuiyang Shipping Society.

Before Gu Tianqiao personally moved his family to Jeju, he had a conversation with Gu Siyuan, who was about to leave Jiangning and go to Guangnan to serve as the prefect of Leizhou.

No matter how long it will take to establish a new dynasty, Yuanyue will only have one skin left, and there is no way to change the general pattern of Huaidong’s complete control of Jianghuai’s military, political, financial, and officials. In the same way, differences within Huaidong will inevitably arise due to different interests, and factional disputes will arise; the issue of the establishment of the heirs is already very conspicuous.

Inheritance involves the inheritance of the supreme power of the new dynasty and the new empire, and the distribution of the most fundamental interests of the new dynasty. It is necessary for others to not fight for it, and it is necessary for others to separate factions with separated interests.

The harem of the emperor’s family is not calm, and it is often rooted in this.

The Sun family behind Sun Wenwan, the old generals of the Su family behind the Su sisters, and the old Huaisi family behind Liu Miaozhen, all have the same interests. It is impossible for Song Jia to have a name, and it is true that he cannot give birth to children, but it solves one of the most troublesome problems for everyone.

No matter how close they were in the past, because of Gu Junxun’s relationship, Gu Tianqiao could only come together with Gu Siyuan.

“It’s good for you to go to Jeju,” Gu Siyuan sighed softly and said, “Except for the old people who are unwilling to move in the lake and pond, everyone else who can be brought to Jeju…”

Lin Fu asked Gu Tianqiao to go to Jeju with his family, which actually completely weakened Gu’s foundation in Jiangning.

When Emperor Gaozu of the Yuan Dynasty established his heir, Sejong, in order to prevent the Qi clan from controlling the government, he successively executed the Qi clan of Sejong in Beijing in front of him, paving the way for the inheritance of the emperor.

Although the struggle for succession involves the inheritance of the highest power in the new empire, it is not so contentious; especially Lin Gu has a gap before, the Gu family retreated to Jeju, and the eldest daughter of the eldest political prince who supported Lin Bie became hereditary vassal in Jeju. The best, most practical option.

In the same way, the two concessions Lin Fu gave to Gu Tianqiao were actually given to the Gu family, which would make the Gu family more prominent than the Chi family and Zhou family in Jeju.

On the one hand, Lin Fu wanted to make the Gu family in Jeju actually support the eldest daughter of the political monarch in hereditary vassal, and secondly, it could be regarded as compensation for the Gu family; on the other hand, Gu Siyuan really wanted to do something about political affairs There will also be less elbow restraint.

“In the future, the Sun family will also treat it like this, right?” Gu Tianqiao is not stupid.

Sun Wenwan gave birth to a son to Lin Fu, and the Sun family directly belonged to the Qi clan: Sun Jingxuan and Sun Jingtang were both political officials and military officials. He is also a senior general of the deputy commander, and Lin Jingzhong, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, is the son-in-law of Sun Jingtang—this does not include the figures of the old Xihe Society.

“Emperor Jingxuan and Lord Jingtang are not fools,” Gu Siyuan said, “Although the newly established Nanyang Shipping Society and the Lujia Governor’s Mansion are presided over by Sun Shangwang and Sun Sizong’s uncle and nephew, the Sun family has contributed a lot of money behind the scenes. Especially when the monarch received the lordship of Jeju County~www.mtlnovel.com~ When the princes first met Ni Duan overseas, the thoughts of the prince’s office were almost on the table. How could Duke Jingxuan and Duke Jingtang be ignorant? One point? Do you have to poke your finger on the face of the government and make everyone look ugly?”

“It seems that if you really want to establish a reserve in the future, you can almost only choose among Mrs. Yue’er, Sister Su’s, and Mrs. Qiao Guo,” Gu Tianqiao said with a smile.

Why is the battle for the reserve so bloody? In addition to the fact that the prince’s Qi clan can get the most benefit, there is another reason that the Qi clan of other princes and grandsons, even if they honestly don’t fight for anything, will be strongly suppressed by the new prince, and even **** killing.

This kind of tradition that if you want to fight, you will fight for a big one, and if you don’t fight, you will follow the tradition of losing everything. Why don’t the foreign relatives follow and fight?

Although Su Clan’s Dimei was supported by the old generals of the Su Clan, there was no biological father and brother after all.

Even if Lin Wu, the son of Mrs. Su, will become the new crown prince, the old generals of the Su family will only hope that the political situation will remain stable, and there will be no other chaotic actions.

The same is true for Liu Miaozhen. Although the Huaisi army is powerful, the Liu clan has almost died out in the war. Although Liu Miaozhen has two young nephews to support her, she also enjoys wealth and honor, and it is extremely unlikely that she will become a great treasure.

Although Liu Yue’er has her father and brother, but her father and brother are too unpopular, as long as they don’t mess around, what about letting them enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth?

Not tossing and sharing the wealth is the situation everyone wants to see, right?

Over the years, Gu Siyuan’s quarrel has disappeared: since Lin Fu has given Gu’s a place to surrender his insurance in Jeju, there is really no need to fight around Lichu for a **** storm; it is also possible to feel that Lin Fu’s calculations are profound and balance Huaidong.
