Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 37
"Other uses?" Wang Bosong was a little confused.

"Many of the shops of the Chen family shop are in good locations in the city. If they can be won, they will be good." Fang Jing said.

"That's true." Wang Bosong nodded and said, "It's just that these shops that originally belonged to the Chen family may not be given to you by the government. Even if they give you some preferential prices, it will cost a lot of money. Those of the Chen family The property of the house is probably not less than 10 taels, and Uncle Wang can support you partly, but it is limited, at most 1 taels, which is far from enough."

Previously, Wang Bodan had a net worth of several hundred thousand taels, but Wang Bosong’s offshoots, especially those at the bottom of the list, had only tens of thousands of taels. Wang Bosong can use the silver taels.

"Uncle Wang, you don't have to worry about money." Fang Jing said, "I believe it is enough."

"You have so much silver?" Wang Bosong asked in disbelief, "Even if your parents left some for you, it's impossible to have 10 taels?"

"Not so much, but there are still 10 taels." Fang Jing said, "I'm not interested in the fields of the Chen family. It's just that it doesn't cost 10 taels to buy shops and other properties. I think 10 taels is about the same."

"10 taels?" Wang Bosong thought for a while, "If you just buy these, it's about the same. Xiaojing, is there any silver that the seniors gave you?"

"Yes, senior also gave me some." Fang Jing followed Wang Baisong's words.

"That's good, but Uncle Wang has to remind you, you can't just keep asking for it just because you have some favors for seniors."

"Uncle Wang, I understand."

Fang Jing didn't tell Wang Bosong that he just got 70 taels of silver from the Chen family. That would be too exaggerated, and he might scare Wang Bosong.

10 taels is about the same, and the source statement is still acceptable.

"Xiao Jing, I heard that you recruited many young people to help you do things?" Wang Bosong said, "They are too young. Would you like Uncle Wang to help you find some more people?"

"The seniors found those." Fang Jing said with a smile. Anyway, everything is pushed to Huang Zhenjun now, "But I do need a lot of people here, so I will ask Uncle Wang to help me recruit more."

Some people from Tianzihao came out to help, and Fang Jing of Tianzihao didn't want to be exposed too early.

"Okay, leave it to me." Wang Bosong nodded.

Since those boys and girls were arranged by the seniors, of course he has no objection.

That afternoon, when Wu Qisheng came back from Fucheng, he immediately called Fang Jing over.

Wu Qisheng's face was full of red, Fang Jing knew that he had made a great contribution this time, so he was in a good mood.

Thinking about it, it is also unrealistic to want to be promoted immediately after taking office as the county magistrate, but the credit will be remembered.

Especially now that he has a closer relationship with the magistrate, and he is also somewhat familiar with the imperial envoy. Such benefits may not be revealed for a while, and perhaps one day, this relationship will turn things around.

As expected, the property of the Fang family was returned to him. This was the government's reward for his support, and Fang Jing accepted it bluntly.

As for the shops of the Chen family, Fang Jing can give priority to buying them at [-]% off the market price.

You must know that there are quite a few people who are jealous of the shop industry of the Chen family, and the government is really giving themselves face by being able to do this.

After coming out of the county government office, Fang Jing couldn't help but whispered: "Do you want to reform the officials?"

Wu Qisheng revealed some news to himself, and the imperial court was furious because of the private salt case in Jiangnan Dongjun.

Although the case has not been fully investigated yet, judging from the gap opened by the Mingzhou government, there may be thousands of officials and gentry involved in Jiangnan East County, and the amount of money involved is roughly estimated to be quite large. At 5000 million taels.

This is still in the past five years, and if it goes forward, there will be more silver taels involved.

Nearly 1000 million taels a year, how many people participate in it?
No wonder the court was furious.

Since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, private salt has been banned repeatedly. It should be said that this situation has existed in all dynasties, but some dynasties are better and some dynasties are worse.

"Yan Yin, you have to have strong financial resources to maintain it." Fang Jing thought to himself.

Wu Qisheng also got some news from the imperial envoy that the imperial court will allow civilians to join in the sale of official salt.

The Yanyin system was used in many dynasties before the Great Yan Dynasty.

It's just that the Yan Dynasty abolished the salt introduction system, and implemented a complete official salt system for the court. Only the court was allowed to make salt and sell salt, and everything else was prohibited.

At the beginning, the official salt system greatly increased the income of the imperial court, but later on, the officials below were corrupt and colluded with some powerful gentry in the local area to smuggle and sell smuggled salt, which greatly reduced the income of the official salt.

Salt Yinzhi is that private merchants buy salt from the imperial court, and then use the salt to sell the salt.

This is good for cracking down on the flooding of private salt.

Salt merchants have always belonged to the wealthy class in all dynasties. As long as they can touch it, even if it is just a little bit of soup, it is enough to eat and drink for several lifetimes.

So if Yan Yin really wants to come out, of course Fang Jing will participate.

This is legitimate business.

It's just that if you want to participate in it, you need rich financial resources and strength as your backing.

Fang Jing is not too worried about strength.

The rest is the silver issue, it seems that my Fang family business has to get on the right track as soon as possible.

I believe it will not be too long before the imperial court launches the salt introduction system, and there will not be too much time for myself to prepare.

"Aunt Xu, are you going back?" When Fang Jing just walked to the door of Wang's house, he saw Xu Niyi coming out of the mansion.

Fang Jing wanted to tell Wang Bosong about Yan Yin, but he meant that Wang Bosong could participate.

Of course, he knew very well that Wang Bosong would definitely refuse, because the Wang family's financial resources were completely insufficient to participate in the sale of official salt.

But Fang Jing wanted to give the Wang family this chance, because Wang Bosong still helped him as always when he was down and down, and he still remembered this favor.

After the city stabilized, Xu Niyi and Xu Jingwei moved back to Sanglin Village outside the city, and would occasionally come to Wang's house.

"Yeah, I just sent a batch of silk over, and I took a look at Xiyue by the way." Xu Niyi smiled, "Mr. Fang is here to look for Xiyue?"

"Look for Uncle Wang." Fang Jing said hastily.

Xu Niyi smiled again, and left without saying anything.

Fang Jing frowned slightly.

He never found a chance to mention the Seven-Color Silkworm to Xu Niyi.

With Bai Chunchu's death, Xu Niyi was obviously not so worried, otherwise she would have fled from here long ago.

If at this time, I mentioned the Seven-color Skyworm to her, I'm afraid it would arouse her resentment, right?
Since she wants a peaceful life, it seems that she shouldn't disturb her.

Fang Jing didn't know if Xu Niyi realized that those people in the rivers and lakes hadn't completely given up on the pursuit of the seven-color silkworm.

Especially in the recent period, Baishui County has gained some powerful masters.

The two girls of Zijuan have already received some news. These masters are not weak, and they are much stronger than those who attacked Baishuimen before.

According to the speculation of the two women, these people are at least extremely powerful, and even have peerless masters. The number of them may not be less than dozens.

The true identities of these people have not yet been confirmed by Zijuan and the two daughters. After all, they have just been exposed to intelligence collection. It is obviously not so easy to find out the origin of each other's identities.

Fang Jing knew that these people were either coming for the Seven-Color Skyworm, or they were members of the Yuanshi Sect.

No matter how you look at it, it has something to do with him, so Fang Jing asked Huang Zhenjun and the others to keep a low profile recently, so as not to arouse suspicion.
