Chapter 180 Long Live the Lord is waiting impatiently
However, taking bribes would be too damaging to one's reputation, and Yuzhu didn't want to do that.
Therefore, if you use the Lin family as a white glove, gather a lot of wealth through business, and put it all under Kangxi's nose, everyone will be happy.
In fact, that's what He Zhongtang did... It's just that he stayed in power for twenty years, and his wealth grew more and more, and eventually he became a super fat sheep, taking advantage of the mediocre Emperor Jiaqing in vain.
Since ancient times, there are only two outcomes for powerful ministers, death or usurpation, without exception.
There are two types of death: death granted by the emperor, and death of old age by oneself. However, in both cases, the family cannot be protected.
Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng had just died, and their entire clan was liquidated by the emperor.
The lesson is extremely profound!
When Sun Chengyun brought Lin Wu here, the entire Jialanyan Hutong was almost full of people.
"Hey, Lao Lin, why are there so many people?" Sun Chengyun turned to ask Lin Wu.
Sun Chengyun came in casual clothes, and he didn't take the carriage in front of him, so he had to get out of the carriage and walk inside.
Lin Wu is Lin Yan'er's biological father and the current head of the Lin family. He bowed his waist and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I have recognized more than a dozen familiar old bosses. I am so
Let me tell you, if Mr. Yu doesn't like any of these people, his business will immediately drop by more than 80%, and then it's all over."
Not to mention, Lin Wu's character is not very good, but his business vision is still quite good.
One sentence revealed the secret!
The more people gather, the bigger the business will be. This is an eternal economic law.
For example, the entire Tokyo metropolitan area has a population of only 30 million, but its GDP accounts for more than half of the entire Japanese country.
In other words, the GDP created by the remaining 100 million people is not only inferior to that of the 30 million people, but the gap is getting wider and wider.
Today, there are more than one million people in and around Forty-Nine City, making it the largest city in the world.
According to official statistics, there are only more than 700,000 people in the inner and outer cities of the entire Forty-Nine City.
Hey, Yuzhu only thinks with his feet and knows, how can it be so little?
Not to mention anything else, there are more than 300,000 bannermen in the inner city alone.
Furthermore, with the extremely backward demographic methods of this era and the lack of apportionment, the massive hidden floating population is simply a bad debt that cannot be counted.
Therefore, Yuzhu's conservative estimate is that there are about 800,000 residents in the city. Counting the residents and floating population outside the city, the number is at least more than 1.2 million.
Hey, guarding such a big cornucopia and only collecting tens of thousands of taels of silver in taxes a year, how greedy must these grandsons in the Chongwen Sect Supervisory Yamen be?
In full view of everyone, Lin Wu followed Sun Chengyun and entered the Long Mansion in a grand manner.
Wu Jiang was walking outside when he suddenly saw Sun Chengyun. He walked over with a smile and saluted him with a smile.
"My little one, please be safe."
After Long Keduo accepted Sun Chengyun as his godson, Sun Chengyun's treatment in Long Mansion skyrocketed, and he could go directly through the hall and into Yuzhu's inner study.
That's all, there is a guest room specially reserved for Sun Chengyun in the outer courtyard of Long Mansion. If you drink too much, you can just lie down there, it is extremely comfortable.
"Where are you going?" Sun Chengyun saw Wu Jiang walking in a hurry and asked him curiously.
Wu Jiang bowed and said respectfully: "Our second master has said that there will be no outsiders today. I'm going to call those people outside to disperse."
Sun Chengyun nodded heavily and said: "It is true that so many people gathered together and blocked the entire alley. If word spreads, the matter will become a big deal and you will be punished. However, when you go out to speak out,
Son, try to be gentle in your tone, and don’t give others an excuse to talk.”
"Yes." Sun Chengyun held a very important position in Yuzhu's heart, and even Wu Jiang had to obey his orders.
When he heard that Sun Chengyun was coming, Yuzhu, who had just returned to the courtyard from Li Si'er, was served by Xiuyun and Xingrui, changed into casual clothes, and went to see the guests.
Lin Wu was standing at the steps of the inner study room. When he saw Yuzhu coming, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said respectfully: "Little man Lin Wu, kowtow to Master Yu."
Yuzhu nodded and said calmly: "That's all." He walked away, ignoring Lin Wu.
After Lin Wu got up, he had to stand at the foot of the steps obediently, waiting for Yuzhu's call.
Yuzhu had never seen Lin Wu before. However, when Sun Chengyun just called someone to report, Yuzhu also knew that Lin Wu was brought in by him.
Needless to say, it must be Sun Chengyun who accepted Lin Wu's heavy bribe. Otherwise, with his temperament, it would be impossible for Sun to make wedding clothes for others for nothing.
Sure enough, when Sun Chengyun saw Yuzhu, he said with a smile: "Old Lin gave me this number, how can your brother and I stand this? Then we brought him in. Well, how you deal with him depends on your own wishes.
I'm only responsible for bringing him in." He held out a finger.
Yuzhu smiled slightly, and one finger represented a thousand taels.
Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu never hide anything. When he accepts money to do things, he will always make it clear in advance.
What can Yuzhu say?
"Hanshuang, call Lin Yan'er and ask her to receive Lin Wu." Yuzhu thought for a while and simply asked Lin Yan'er and his daughter to meet and see what Lin Wu thought.
After Hanshuang left, before Sun Chengyun could speak, the concierge came to report, and Zhao Donghe, the magistrate of Daxing County, greeted him at the door.
"Hey, Zhao Donghe probably smelled the smell of meat and came to worship your big golden Buddha." Sun Chengyun sighed and whispered, "You can easily offend the princes and nobles with your errand, but have you thought about how to deal with it?"
Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "The mountain people have their own clever plans, so don't worry too much." He deliberately let it slip.
Soon, Zhao Donghe arrived. As soon as they met, he said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, junior brother, for becoming the biggest God of Wealth in Sijiu City."
Zhao Donghe's character is average, but his eyesight is very accurate.
Yuzhu's current errand may seem inconspicuous, but in fact, all the businessmen inside and outside the Forty-Nine City, no matter how tyrannical they are, must rely on him to live their lives.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Back then, after He Shen took this position, he quickly became rich because he had the absolute power to monopolize the city gates.
Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's a hard job. There's a lot of pressure to collect taxes."
Zhao Donghe understood it as soon as he heard it. He smiled and said: "Others may not understand, but I understand that these guys in Lao Chongwen's sect are so greedy that they want to pluck their hair."
Not long after the few people sat down, another report came from outside. Liu Kan, the deputy supervisor of Qintian Prison, asked to see him.
Because Liu Kan had already become a disciple of Yu Zhu, after meeting him, Liu Kan bowed respectfully and called out: "My disciples congratulate Mr. Zhu on mastering the fortune of the four-nine cities."
This is a very interesting thing to say. It can be seen that there are quite a few people who understand.
After Yuzhu took on his own role for the first time, everyone who had a relationship with him had their own thoughts.
Zhao Donghe has been serving as the magistrate of Daxing County for three years. After trying to make camps everywhere, his future is bleak.
To be honest, the way to upgrade from the sixth grade to the fifth grade is indeed very narrow.
Either, be promoted to be a Yuanwailang in various ministries. Or, be appointed as magistrate of Sanzhou, or deputy salt transport envoy.
There are two types of magistrates. The magistrates who are in charge of counties below are directly managed by the chief secretaries of each province or the two capitals. They are the fifth-rank Zhili prefecture magistrates. Their rank is slightly lower than the magistrates and they have the same powers.
Regardless of the magistrate of the county, it is the magistrate of the scattered state. The rank is the same as that of the county, and it is generally called a prefecture or county.
Except for the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Yuanwailang in various ministries all belong to the category of those who do more work but have less power.
After Zhao Donghe served as the fat magistrate of Daxing County, he refused to give in anymore.
According to Zhao Donghe's original intention, he was targeting the throne of Tongzhou Zhizhou
Currently, Tongzhou, Xiaguan Sanhe, Wuqing and Baodi counties belong to the Zhili Prefecture of Shuntian Prefecture.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, these three counties were placed under the direct jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture, and Tongzhou's status plummeted and became a scattered state at the county level.
As we all know, water transportation from all over the world gathers in Tongzhou.
Compared with Daxing Zhixian, Tongzhou Zhizhou's wealth is definitely better.
However, the Tongzhou magistrate was in the fifth rank, and Zhao Donghe was not qualified. He could only settle for the next best thing, planning to act as an agent first and then officially take office.
The relationship between Liu Kan and Yuzhu was not deep, and they had just joined the sect, so he was eyeing the vacancy of deputy supervisor of Chongwen Sect.
No matter how talented a person is, there must always be someone under his command to help wave the flag and shout.
Liu Kan took a long-term view. He wanted to be a deputy supervisor, not to make money. Liu Kan wanted to leave the hellish place of Qintian Prison. At the same time, he would contribute to Yuzhu in a down-to-earth manner and do his best to do practical things.
There are so many advantages and auras about Yuzhu that there is no need to go into details.
Those who still can’t understand the general trend are simply idiots who are not suitable for officialdom.
However, after Liu Kan expressed his thoughts, Zhao Donghe suddenly realized, how could Tongzhou Zhizhou be compared with the deputy supervisor?
In everything, be afraid of comparison. No matter how rich Tongzhou is, how can it be compared with Tiantian and Yuzhu together?
Sun Chengyun looked at Liu Kan and Zhao Donghe who were fighting with each other and couldn't help but smile. These two guys were quite discerning.
In fact, Sun Chengyun came here with his eye on the position of deputy supervisor.
He and Yuzhu are closer than brothers. If he doesn't help Yuzhu, who will?
Seeing the three people quarreling with each other, Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh, and said: "As the saying goes, brothers fight against tigers, father and son go into battle. It's my first time to stand alone, and I really need the help of my brothers. How about not doing this, at noon, When I enter the palace to play chess with Lord Long Live, I will recommend the three of you to serve as deputy supervisors or committee members, okay?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people immediately fell silent.
Although Yuzhu no longer went to the South Study Room on duty every day, he still went to the palace at noon every day to play chess with the emperor.
What does it mean to play chess with the emperor every day?
Anyone who doesn't understand is a real idiot and should be eliminated from the officialdom.
After lunch, Yuzhu went out to the palace, and Sun Chengyun took over the role of the host, accompanying Liu Kan and Zhao Donghe to continue the banquet.
After entering the Qianqing Gate, you could see Liang Jiugong spinning in circles on the steps far away from Yuzhu.
"Hey, I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, I will send someone to find you." Liang Jiugong saw Yuzhu coming, ran down the steps quickly, and grabbed his cuffs, "Quick, Come in quickly, Long Live Master is already waiting for you."
