Jinyiwei and the Criminal Department captured a large number of prisoners involved in the rebellion, and the crimes of these people have long been sorted out.
Controlling docks, collecting fees, hoarding goods, and reselling materials, these criminal evidences were listed one by one and posted at Yangzhou city gates, markets, government offices, and even streets and alleys and subordinate township squares.
The Gendarmerie directly implemented this matter, not only posting but also visiting to promote the matter. These imperial guards, the core of the emperor, were not just showmen or guards, but also important executors of propaganda and policy implementation.
Caoyun and the Yangzhou government? They are assisting in the investigation and implementing the plan to provide dividends to the people.
Many of the large amounts of assets confiscated this time are salt-making workshops and textile workshops. If they are directly confiscated and returned to the royal family or the government, they will definitely be criticized. Therefore, those run by the royal family must pay dividends to the local people, and those that are not run by the royal family will be auctioned at a suitable price.
.
These industries run by the royal family need to recruit a group of skilled craftsmen. According to the survey of stalls and acres, corresponding professional craftsmen can be directly found. Local people can also recruit some apprentices. If there are shares and dividends, the local people can
They all hope that the industrial operation will improve, and their lives will improve in the future with the prosperity of salt production and textile workshops.
However, most workshops that are not in important locations will still be auctioned, and the funds raised from the auction will be divided in half between the court and the local government.
The court, government, people, and businessmen all have a good life, but only those who participated in the rebellion suffer.
The combination of real-life examples and visits to promote it made a deep impression right away.
In his heart, Emperor Tianqi hoped that Jiangnan would develop well, and that Jiangnan would bring poverty to his hometown in Lianghuai. I only said so in words, but actually distributed dividends and provided money-making opportunities to the people, and did not make it too difficult for the government.
However, Zhu Youxiao is satisfied with that little achievement. To divide a few people and to make Jiangnan drive the prosperity of its surrounding areas, there is still very, very little that needs to be done.
"Support! Support! The common people will definitely obey, but there will be no disputes." Those businessmen now have no trouble saying that they should pay taxes, but they can't afford to have no disputes with the emperor.
At this time, the Slender West Lake still had that name. It was called Baobao Lake. It was purchased by a poor salt merchant and spent a lot of money to build it into a private garden. The private garden of the wealthy businessman has a very special scenery, which is not better than other gardens in Yangzhou.
, before that, in the early Qing Dynasty, Heavenly Love Tou.
Zhu Youxiao, accompanied only by Liu Qiao, dressed in casual clothes, invited us to meet us at the famous Slender West Lake in the northwest suburbs of Yangzhou.
We love our heads.
Half a month ago, more than 70 famous industrial businessmen from eight places arrived in Yangzhou.
The businessmen were extremely worried. They were usually quite close to the Nanjing and Suzhou governments, but after getting all the inside information, many of us were so calm that we didn’t dare to go.
"I invite you all to come here. I actually want to resolve some disputes, and then we can do meaningless things together. Let's talk about the disputes first. The government used to collect taxes from your properties. This matter has not been implemented in Tianjin and Tongzhou. We over there in Jiangnan,
Are they supportive or supportive?"
The businessmen listened with their eyes narrowed, now we really guess what Emperor Tianqi is going to say.
"That's not true. I promised them that the money would not be used to ensure the stability and poverty of Jiangnan. Since I gave them money, should I pay taxes?"
"Of course! Of course I support it!"
"The King of Liang has not yet talked about the matter of Youxi. Will he give your property to the King of Liang?"
The businessmen thanked each other one after another. They were flattered, but also very happy and looking forward to it.
When Zhu Youxiao saw us, he put on airs and asked us to sit down flat on his back.
Zhu Youxiao stood up and looked far away at the small canal east of Slender West Lake, and then at the more than seventy businessmen specializing in industry. He said hurriedly before drinking a cup of tea:
"You know, taxes are all money, and the government also uses money to do things."
When the news spread, few businessmen were not afraid at all.
Of course, the industrial merchants who entered the venue were inspected by Jinyiwei, who checked one by one to see if their identities were incorrect and whether they were carrying any unsafe items.
"Will your property be expropriated?"
After the food and wine were put down, Zhu Youxiao said: "I invited Xiaojia here today. Firstly, I want to meet Xiaojia and talk about some things face to face. But I also want to fulfill my promise and let everyone help me."
Make money."
"We are asking for trouble. Your Majesty's move will definitely be supported by heaven." The businessmen expressed their support without any confidence.
"Buy shares together and open the small door to them first." As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he saw our cold eyes.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "You have misunderstood. I intend to avoid it, and I also want to whitewash the peace. There is no contradiction in collecting taxes from your property, and there will be no disputes. But today I want to resolve it,
Instead, I ordered them to accept it."
As for those who deliberately caused trouble and launched rebellion, they are all short of being severely punished.
Zhu Youxiao went straight to the topic: "They are familiar with the owners of the garden. Those monopolistic small salt merchants control the production and transportation of the salt fields in northern Jiangsu. They live in Yangzhou and control the shipping to the north and the mainland. They have little money to a certain extent, so they spend a lot of money to purchase the garden.
On the lake, we hired famous gardeners to design and manage the lake, creating a gorgeous place.
But there is nothing that can be done, and if you do it, you have to pay a price. Therefore, the garden, which was no longer the common property of the royal family and the common people, is now open to the sky for free, and merchants will be recruited, operated, maintained, and publicized and educated. Let people from the past life come here.
Then, you will know what the subsequent owners did to make this place become a thing that will be destroyed in the sky."
Of course I want to do the business.
"...Of course the common people want it, and they will definitely support Your Majesty!" Industrial merchants are land merchants, and they can only make money by selling things. The Japanese countries in the East do not have mountains of silver, and the countries in Southeast Asia do not have all kinds of silver.
Various commodities, the West regards Jiangnan products as treasures.
"I heard that the property of these rebellious landlords and businessmen was used to unpopularize the people before they were harvested..."
The bad thing is that Jin Yiwei lost contact with some industrial businessmen after that. They provided us with evidence of the crimes of monopoly businessmen and small landowners, and gave us a guarantee that your Majesty and the imperial court would make shipping bring us less wealth and opportunities. p>
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "If I use money to open up more markets for you, and ship them together to the East, Nanyang and even the West, what market do you want?"
That time I asked the officials to go ahead and gather the industrial businessmen from Yangzhou, Suzhou and Nanjing to Yangzhou for a meeting.
No one wanted to go. Others were afraid of causing more harm to themselves and the emperor's reputation, so they all went when they needed to.
The common people are confused. Don't listen to these small landowners who are usually domineering. Those who are usually luxurious and arrogant are fine. If something really happens, we will fall into disarray. Compared with Tianqi and the imperial court, everything is nothing.
.
As for the crooked things promoted by the White Lotus Rebels, they are all deceptive. They only help the people but harm many people and are implicated.
"Your Majesty comes to see you?"
"The imperial court must have done everything for them. This is indeed a tax that should be collected. However, the poverty and stability of Jiangnan must be based on the stability of the imperial court, the absence of chaos in the seven directions, and the smooth flow of underwater and land transportation. Those imperial courts must
Try your best to do bad things, but before the whipping method, the court also used money to do things, so you are also confused, right?"
