Chapter 484 It seems that they also know the truth of risk sharing
Chapter 484
Later, Yang Qian was awarded the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, and was promoted from the prefect to the left guard in Jiangdu. The previous twelve counties of Jiangnan Province deposed the ambassadors, but the emperor did not take them back because of the tranquility of Jiangnan.
In other words, the military power of the twelve counties is still concentrated in his hands. This is enough to show the depth of favor.
The court was in turmoil because of the raging war.
As a result, tax revenue was greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, if he really reported it to the court, he was afraid that the emperor would probably obey his plan.
Therefore, a group of wealthy businessmen living in Jiangdu County or living here as guests were really flustered.
This is completely different from what I imagined before, if this guy really adopts such a method.
As long as the emperor agrees, by that time, I believe the officials in the Jiangnan counties will definitely be eager to pounce on merchants like themselves to suck the blood.
Of course, some people will say, the worst I can do is not stay in Jiangnan Road for the next five years. Where will you take it?
Sorry, unless you have no business in Jiangnan, you will definitely have to pay taxes. But right now, the world is in chaos and disputes are everywhere.
There are not many places where you can do business quietly, and this is the only place like Jiangnan that is rich and has high spending power.
Therefore, after many wealthy businessmen thought about it, they couldn't find a way to avoid the possible consequences.
All the people couldn't help but panic, and began to gather in groups to discuss countermeasures.
However, after many discussions, they found in despair that they and others had no means to restrain Yang Qian, the governor of Jiangdu.
Want to use force? Learn about the 80,000 elite and loyal Jiangdu Army. Want to assassinate? Learn about the elusive and invisible reconnaissance cavalry battalion headed by Duan Shizi.
If you want to bribe, haha, how much do you have to bribe? Why should I pay but you can’t pay to bribe?
In every wealthy family, there will be many wealthy businessmen arguing with each other.

"Zijing, Brother Hu and Fourth Young Master Zheng are here." Changsun Wuji first stood outside the study and cleared his throat in advance.
"Please come in quickly, Brother Hu and Fourth Brother Zheng, we haven't seen each other for a while." Yang Qian then put down the book in his hand and stood up.
"I've met Zijing." After Hu Wei and the fourth son of the Zheng family entered the study, they first bowed respectfully to Yang Qian, and then sat upright.
Zheng Yuanxun took the tea from Zhili and thanked him before saying excitedly.
"Zijing is really a good tactic, but it's a pity that Zijing is in a high position. Otherwise, he really should have seen the faces of those merchants."
"It seems that things should go well." Changsun Wuji asked cheerfully.
"This is natural, especially in the past few days, all kinds of rumors have been flying all over the sky, making the wealthy businessmen in the entire Jiangdu County unable to eat well and sleep well."
"I sent people everywhere to inquire, and gathered many small circles privately to discuss and discuss, but I just couldn't figure out your identity, Yang Jiangdu."
"As a result, someone finally thought of Hu and Brother Zheng."
"What did they say when they came to look for you two?" Changsun Wuji asked immediately.
Hu Wei and Zheng Yuanxun did not dare to neglect, so they explained in detail the opinions and ideas of the merchants who came one after another.
"Now, I am afraid that all the wealthy businessmen who live in our Jiangdu County or live as guests have understood that this time, no matter what happens to them, they will bleed."
"And not only them, the entire Jiangnan County will be affected, so during this period, they also sent personnel to other counties to deliver news to their colleagues."
"Well, it seems they also know the principle of risk sharing." Yang Qian couldn't help but feel happy.
Seeing that Yang Qian was in a good mood, Zheng Yuanxun took over the conversation.
"Who says it's not the case, but compared to the unhurried businessmen from other counties, the ones who are most anxious are the people who live here in Jiangdu County."
"They also vaguely know that Zheng, Hu Xiandi, and the prefect's mansion have some connections here, so they have visited them in the past few days."
"Brother Hu Xian and I have calculated that I am afraid that you, Zijing, have to make the decision on this matter, so I came here to visit you today."
"You two, please wait a moment." Yang Qian nodded. At this moment, he could already hear the footsteps coming from outside the study.
As expected, Fang Qiao and Du Ruhui arrived as scheduled after receiving the news.
"I think you should have interacted with these two, so I won't introduce them one by one. Fang Qiao, please tell me how the situation is first."
"Your Majesty's two dragon boats were both built at Jiangdu Shipyard. The first dragon boat cost about 70,000 guan."
"And the second one is as high as 70,000 guan, and together with various auxiliary boats and thousands of miles of ships, it is almost nearly 100,000 guan.
After preliminary calculations with Jiangdu Shipyard, if the dragon boat this time follows the previous example, the price will probably be about the same as the second time.
One hundred thousand guan, if ordinary people heard this amount, they would be stunned and shocked beyond description.
But for these people sitting here right now, one hundred thousand guan is really just a number.
Whether it is Hu Wei, who controls the breeding industry and food for Yang Qian, or Zheng Yuanxun, who is in charge of maritime trade
"Since our Jiangdu County was included in the Sui Dynasty, it can be said that it has been extremely prosperous, and it has been favored by His Majesty. We have been taking care of it, and we have been stationed in Jiangdu on several tours to the south.
People in the world who want to be inspired by dragons don’t know where to look. I don’t know how many merchants and gentry from the south of the Yangtze River have moved here.
As a result, the population and industry of Jiangdu County have increased day by day. Now in Jiangdu County alone, there are about one to two thousand households with a household wealth of more than ten thousand yuan, and about half are engaged in business."
"That's the number of a thousand households. If each household can contribute one hundred guan, then we can make up the cost of a dragon boat."
"Don't tell me that one household has a hundred guan. Even if it's a thousand guan, they are willing to take it as long as Zijing says a word."
"But I'm just worried about the court..."
Only then did Yang Qian speak openly and make a promise.
"Yang can't guarantee that the court will do this. However, what Yang can guarantee is that within five years, Yang will definitely not file a commercial tax complaint with the court."
After Hu Wei and Zheng Yuanxun looked at each other, Zheng Yuanxun patted his thigh and said.
"It's done. With these words from Zijing, it's enough to get enough money from those people."
Yang Qian smiled to himself. "Brother Hu, Fourth Brother Zheng, you don't have to take care of this for Yang."
"Since there are so many rumors in Jiangdu County now, it would be better if Yang chooses a time to hold a banquet and entertain all the Jiangdu elders as a token of peace."
Changsun Wuji's eyes rolled around in adoration for a few times before he said with a smile.
"It would be easier if you, Zijing, come forward in person. How about you two of us put it together?"
