Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 10 Fang Yuan's Information

Bidding ends.

Fang Yuan summoned Li Shimin and representatives of the Shengyun caravan.

This is the outskirts, there are no houses, and we still meet in the open air.

Seeing Li Shimin, the representative of the Shengyun caravan snorted heavily and spit in front of him.

Li Shimin's eyes turned cold, and his anger rose immediately, wanting to teach him a lesson.

"Calm down, get rid of the gas, get rid of the gas, both of you."

"Boss Ji, we have cooperated for many years, so we have to give this official face."

Fang Yuan held down Li Shimin, and said calmly.

"I'm sorry, Fang Xianzun, for making it difficult for you."

Ji He's limelight turned to the other side and bowed to Li Shimin.

He sat down immediately, still very dissatisfied with Li Shimin.

When bidding just now, Li Shimin didn't participate in the whole process, and finally came out.

It felt like deliberately suppressing the limelight of the Shengyun caravan, deliberately slapping myself.

If it wasn't for Fang Yuan's face, maybe they were about to fight just now.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, ignored him, and sat down.

"Please come over, both of you, it's about the food issue."

"The tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in front of us will be harvested tomorrow, and it will be harvested in about eight days."

"Because I have never cooperated with Boss Li, according to the regulations of Wuling County, if Boss Li doesn't hand over the money to me within eight days, Boss Ji will take over the batch of grain."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

The partners in the Tang Dynasty were different from those in later generations.

Information is underdeveloped and currency transactions are single, so it is impossible to carry so much money with you.

Therefore, in order to ensure smooth payment and delivery, after Fang Yuan became the county magistrate, he made a rule that caravans that have not cooperated with each other will follow the above method.

"eight days?"

Li Shimin frowned suddenly.

Wuling County is [-] kilometers away from Chang'an City, and it can be reached in three or four days by rushing back to Chang'an City.

But coming from Chang'an City is not empty-handed, and a lot of money needs to be transported, and eight days is simply not enough.

"Heh, can't Boss Li do it?"

"I haven't asked Boss Li which caravan he belongs to?"

Ji Hefeng immediately said sarcastically.

He knew all the caravan representatives at the scene, and he had heard of caravans from all over the Tang Dynasty.

But he had never heard of Li Daye's name, and he didn't know which caravan he came from, so it would be difficult to take revenge in the future.

Fang Yuan didn't stop him, he looked at Li Shimin with interest, he also wanted to know which caravan Li Shimin came from?
When I was at the gate of the city yesterday, because the other party had an extraordinary temperament and knew about the issue of food bidding, I thought that a certain caravan might have leaked the information to him, so I didn't check carefully.

After all, one or two more caravans can also contribute to the bidding, so why not do it?

But now that the other party has successfully run for the election, it is still necessary to understand the details of the other party before daring to cooperate.

"Royal Firm."

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Royal firm?"

Both Ji Hefeng and Fang Yuan were startled and looked at each other, but soon they felt that something was wrong.

"I've traveled all over the world and set foot in all ten realms of the world, and I've never heard of the Royal Trading Company."

Ji Hefeng narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Shimin unkindly.

"Newly established, what's the problem?"

Li Shimin was dissatisfied.

He took out a gold medal and threw it on the table.

With a snap, Ji Hefeng and Fang Yuan looked at the token.

Fang Yuan and Ji Hefeng saw the four characters Ruzhen in person.

"No, no problem, no problem."

Ji Hefeng completely changed his face.

It was still cold just now, but now it is completely frightened.

With his unique experience, he can tell at a glance that the gold medal is absolutely real, and he is sure that the other party is not lying.

"Hahaha Boss Li quickly take back the gold medal, why don't we believe you."

Fang Yuan started to be a peacemaker again.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a royal caravan.

That's right, only the people in the royal caravan have this kind of temperament.

At the same time Fang Yuan also understood why he told himself to give it to the imperial court just now.

Royal caravans don't make money buying food, and the higher the price, the more they lose money. Naturally, they want to prostitute themselves for nothing.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly and took the token back.

Seeing this, Ji Hefeng breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked cautious.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are like mice seeing cats when facing officials, unless it is a familiar person like Fang Yuan.

"Royal caravan, I trust you very much."

"However, the people in Wuling County also have to live. I wonder how long it will take for Boss Li to collect the money?"

Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

"Ten days."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

Ten days is still a long time.

But time waits for no one, hungry people wait for no one, and rumors wait for no one.

I urgently need to transport the grain back to Chang'an City, and then break the rumors and solve the problem of guilt.

"Okay, then ten days."

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

There is not much difference between eight days and ten days.

Next, Fang Yuan transferred the carriage and took the caravan representatives back to the guest house to rest.

As soon as Li Shimin returned to the room, he asked Du Ruhui to give an order to send people back to Chang'an City to withdraw money in eight hundred miles.

"Your Majesty, Fang Yuan's information has been found."

After Du Ruhui went out to deliver the news, he also brought back good news.

The information that was investigated by people last night has the results now, but it has only been one day, and not much has been found.

"Show me quickly."

Li Shimin was overjoyed and couldn't wait to read it.

[Fang Yuan, 24 years old, native place unknown, suspected to be a refugee, was recommended by someone seven years ago to become the former director of Wuling County Zhao Caiying. At that time, the population of Wuling County was 5324.

At that time, Zhao Caiying in Wuling County followed Fang Yuan's policy of benefiting the people, pretending to be a bandit and robbing the property of the local gentry, and used it to build roads, brothels, and clubs, and called on the people of Wuling County to engage in various industries and put service first.

In the past two years, Wuling County has changed a lot. Refugees came, the government allocated land, and the number of people broke through the [-] mark. Wuling County is famous for its services, attracting the surrounding people and merchants to come to consume. The economy has improved. Zhao Caiying's term of office has ended. .

Before leaving, Zhao Caiying recommended Fang Yuan as the magistrate of Wuling County with his official position as a guarantee, and the Ministry of Officials approved it.

When Fang Yuan took office, he implemented the government-private business policy. All the people in Wuling County can do business on their own, and they will still be farmers without changing their native place. Any business will be supported by the government. Any policy must not suppress business operations. bed etc.

There are uncertain rumors: Fang Yuan left the county without authorization many times, went to various places to beg caravans to enter Wuling County to do business, and ensured that the caravans do business in Wuling County with very preferential policies.

There are even more uncertain rumors: each industry in Wuling County has [-]% to [-]% of Fang Yuan's shares, that is to say, [-]% to [-]% of the profits of each industry should be distributed to Fang Yuan, which is called a protective umbrella by the people of Wuling County.

In three years, the population of Wuling County rose to 1000, and many new industries sprung up like mushrooms. People from the Ministry of Officials came to assess, and it was determined that Fang Yuan would be transferred to the next county to serve as the county magistrate. five years.

Afterwards, Wuling County developed into a period of rapid development. The grain yield per mu was as high as 3 shi. The people live and work in peace and contentment. 】

This is a brief profile.

But after reading this material, Li Shimin was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He probably knew Fang Yuan's information from the information, but he didn't know how to define Fang Yuan for a while.

talent?
Indeed, in just a few years, a small county has been built into a county with 8 people.

Corrupt officials?
Indeed, it is rumored that each industry has [-] to [-]% of his profits, and it is also called an umbrella.

"Your Majesty, do you want the Ministry of Justice to come and investigate Fang Yuan?"

Du Ruhui also finished reading the materials.

While being shocked and admired in his heart, he secretly sighed that Fang Yuan was really brave.

As a county magistrate, he is not allowed to leave the county he governs without any reason, and he is not allowed to collect protection fees for local people.

Not only did Fang Yuan do everything, but he also colluded with the officials of the Ministry of Officials, traded power for money to change the term of office, flouted the national policy, the most taboo among the taboos.
