Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 793 Who Gives the Money, Who Is the Boss
Xi'an City is worthy of being the largest city in Northwest China, and it is truly amazing.

Because the Governor's Yamen of Shaanxi and Gansu, the Governor's Yamen of Shaanxi, and the General's Yamen of Xi'an are all concentrated in this city.

The world is so big that only Guangzhou City, where the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi are resident, the Governor of Guangdong resident, and Guangzhou General Yamen is located, can compare with it.

Even Jiangning City is worse.

There are only the Governor of Liangjiang and General Jiang Ning in this city, and the Yamen of the governor of Jiangsu is in Suzhou.

However, Yuan Shoutong, Minister of Military Affairs of the Han Dynasty, recently wrote to the imperial court, requesting that the governor's office of Shaanxi and Gansu be moved to Lanzhou.

The reason is that the Muslims in the vicinity of Lanzhou often rebelled. Recently, Huang Guoqi and Wang Fulin, who returned from Hezhou, rebelled.

"If the old and new church members are in chaos, Lanzhou and Ningxia will be in chaos. Guihua and Yili may be cut off, and the lonely scene of the Western Regions in Tang Dynasty will be reproduced."

Yuan Shoutong's memorial was supported by Fu Lehun, the chief military officer in power. Fu Zhongtang also believed that Gansu alone could not afford the large-scale quelling of chaos. The power of the three prefectures.

So after "inviting" the emperor, the post of governor of Gansu was reset, and the current chief envoy Wang Tingzan took over.

Great, come here with a watermelon knife to support you!

At the same time, it is constantly blowing that the governor's office of Shaanxi and Gansu will be moved from Xi'an to Lanzhou. This will not only make Lanzhou the military and political center of the Northwest, but also concentrate resources to develop the two prefectures of Lanzhou and Ningxia and consolidate the rule of the imperial court there.

The old Wang was right when he thought about it, he knew that Prince Rui had economic acumen, so he humbly asked for advice.

Prince Rui didn't hide his choking, drunkenly sold the "Baolong Project" he had done in Beijing to Old Wang in a different way of packaging.

What should I do if I can’t pay back the money in the end?
If the gentry who borrowed money cannot get money from you, Wang Danwang, they will spread their grievances on the court, which will invisibly make the hearts of the Qing Dynasty in Zhejiang completely lost.

However, it was inconvenient for him to write a letter to object, so he instructed his close comrade-in-arms Shaanxi Governor Bi Yuan to write a letter, and informed Gansu Governor Wang Tingzan to quickly suppress Hezhouhui and put down the chaos.

There are a lot of rich people in Zhejiang, so I'm not afraid that they don't have one.

The lingering voice of the chief host still lingered in the ears of the Lexus station after a few months.

Of course, this is mainly due to Wang Danwang, the former governor of Gansu Province, who managed well.

The main content of the reform is to transfer or demote the officials who look weird and unsightly, and replace them with reliable people in an organized and planned way from top to bottom.

Fortunately, the governor is also very particular about people, and he showed some sympathy for those officials who wanted to go to Beijing to accuse him of crimes. It was not just to convict them and label them, but to lock him up for three to five days and starve him. Seven or eight meals.

Mr. Bi was born as a top scholar, he was greedy, but he didn't have the guts to be greedy for tens of thousands of taels. Moreover, this method of borrowing money offended the gentry in the whole province. If there was a civil uprising, it might not end well. .

This approach is actually correct.

"After the money is borrowed, keep the principal, and give them interest every year. Don't worry about not paying back the money. As long as you borrow every year, you can use the loans from the later people to repay the interest of the previous people every year. As long as we Qing Immortal, as long as you old Wang is still the governor of Zhejiang, you don't have to be afraid of this business."

"Afraid of being hanged, the bold will die, and the timid will starve to death!"

Up and down are very harmonious.

Because it is necessary to develop the local economy, activate the market, increase the income level of the people, improve the lives of the people, and at the same time strengthen military training and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
How much to borrow?
The initial loan is 500 million taels.

Every now and then, officials who had leapfrogged their ranks and were still visiting were brought before the Governor by the staff of the Governor's Mansion.

Come back and ask again.

The governor's side is just that the predecessors planted trees, and he sat and took advantage of the shade.

This is the official accent in the future.

In less than three months, Wang Danwang borrowed more than 900 million taels in Zhejiang.

Since ancient times, if you want to develop a place, the best way is to move the administrative center to this place.

Wang Danwang, who became an official just to make money, regarded this method as a treasure, and started to operate it after taking office. Xu's interest rate is still scary, and the direct annual interest rate is 20.00%.

At that time, Wang Danwang bought him to death with 3000 taels, but he was tempted with a huge sum of tens of millions of taels.

But the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Le Erjin, resolutely opposed this, because compared with Xi'an, Lanzhou can really be called a place of bitter cold, not only less prosperous, but also less climate.

The people are in peace, the officials are honest, and the government in Shaanxi and Gansu is clear.

Especially in Gansu, the officials of the whole province are all following the lead of the Governor-General. If you look at the whole country with the harmony of the officialdom, you will not be able to find a second one!

But Wang Danwang didn't know that the method Prince Rui taught him had no good intentions at all.

80.00% of the officials are called by the Governor-General, and the remaining 20.00% basically stand aside.

The scam continues to operate.

The amount is not too much, because Wang Danwang, who is far away in Zhejiang, said in a letter that he began to borrow money from wealthy households as soon as he took office, and he borrowed more than 900 million taels in less than three months.

"You are the governor, and you represent the imperial court. As long as you borrow, those rich people will dare not refuse to borrow!"

This is the data made by the governor in combination with the actual situation of the province.

This is also one of the contents of the "mutual protection of governors and governors" treaty.

During this period of time, the Governor-General was not too idle, and was mainly busy with one thing, which was planning to borrow money from gentry and wealthy households throughout Shaanxi and Gansu after the Chinese New Year.

"Everyone is huddled together, and we will help whoever has something to do! It's useless to submit a memorial, so we can talk to the court with swords and guns!"

When we had a breakup meal in the capital earlier, Prince Rui had no intention of mentioning to Governor Wang that Zhejiang is a place with good weather and no major disasters, so your old Wang’s method of lying about disasters in Gansu in the past must have been ineffective, and it was easy to be discovered. You must change Ways to make money.

That is, when one party is in trouble, all parties come to help.

It's not that there are no officials who want to respond to the situation, but the goddamn governor has colluded with officials at all levels to block the post road checkpoints to death.

The result is mostly honest.

Le Zhitai looked greedy, "Don't think too much, first get the money and then talk about it, it's really not enough to let them go with the court."

Money is not borrowed for free, there is interest.

Some were allocated according to the imperial court's schedule, and some were at the request of Prince Rui, the host of the Mutual Aid Association.

While he was busy pacifying Hezhou Hui, Governor Le was also vigorously supporting the suppression of chaos on the front line of Huguang.

So I gritted my teeth and made the PPT, and handed it over to my confidant Shaanxi Governor Bi Yuan for implementation.

Even the officials with the right to keep secret reports arranged for people to keep an eye on them for 72 hours.

Because of his way of doing things, it seems that he has made a lot of money without any loss, but the reputation of Qing Dynasty has been defeated by him invisibly.

Who can be trusted?
Of course he is someone who is willing to spend money to honor the governor.

As Prince Rui said, as long as the Qing Dynasty survives, and as long as Wang Danwang remains the governor of Zhejiang, this business can last until death.

Since Wang Danwang was the governor of Zhejiang, the gentry did not dare to offend him, and because they were not afraid that the court would not pay the money, they borrowed a lot of money.

You are not even willing to spend money on the governor, why should the governor trust you?

In order to implement the concept of "mutual protection between governors and governors", Governor Le immediately began to carry out drastic reforms in the official circles of Shaanxi and Gansu.

Prince Rui was very sure about this.

What kind of money did you say the good-natured governor borrowed?
This is the economic acumen of the head of the Mutual Aid Association, Prince Rui.

After a few months, the official circles in Shaanxi and Gansu were called a miasma.

Why borrow money?

The truth is that.

"One word from the prince is better than ten years of reading!"

Today, the chief chairperson is almost begging for money from thieves in Huguang, and you, the governor, actively support it. In the future, if you ask the governor to do anything, the chief chairperson will definitely lead the colleagues in the plenary meeting to take care of you.

Governor Bi looked worried: "Can the imperial court admit this?"

In addition to allocating more than [-] elite soldiers from the Green Battalion from Shanxi and Gansu to Wang Deyong, the admiral of Shanxi and Gansu, to Huguang to suppress bandits, he also undertook a lot of money and food expenses on the front line.

Therefore, even if the imperial court really wanted to move the governor's yamen to Lanzhou, Le Erjin hoped that his successor would go there instead of himself.

If he really borrowed tens of millions of taels, the interest would be so high that he couldn't pay it at all.

Shaanxi-Gansu is not as fat as Zhejiang, so there is still some ten million taels of silver borrowed in the whole province.

It is equivalent to the fiscal revenue of the whole province of Zhejiang for two years.

In fact, Le Erjin also knew that this method of borrowing money was not good, and he basically used the future of the Qing Dynasty as a mortgage, but he couldn't stand the temptation too much.

Don't say it, think about it during the day, and recollect it at night, just one word - Delicious!
It is the long-cherished wish of many officials to be able to compete with the imperial court for the right to speak.

If Lanzhou really wants to become the resident of the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, it will flourish in at most 20 years. I dare not say that it can be compared with Xi'an, at least several times stronger than it is now.

Pharaoh's final loan amount is 5000 million taels, and the minimum is 4000 million taels.

In this way, most of the imperial court will not be in a hurry to relocate the governor's office.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year.

To put it bluntly, it was to make Wang Dan brazenly borrow money from the local gentry at high interest rates under various names after seeing Zhejiang.

"If the imperial court refuses to accept this account, we will not accept the imperial court. Whoever is willing to pay back the money for us, we will support him. Otherwise, we will oppose him!"

Well, Master Taiwan's little Jiujiu played pretty well.

Justified.

It looked like he was plotting against someone.
