Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 152 Expansion of Taiping

It was not until February that Zhang Zongxian received the imperial edict of appointment.

Originally thought that it would be good to be the governor of Yansui, but never expected that Tianqi would trust him so much and directly support him to be the governor of the three sides.

It may be that the prophecy of the snow demon's destruction frightened Tian Qi, or it may be that he believed Zhang Zongxian's nonsense that he would not live for ten years.But Tianqi is indeed more decisive than his younger brother in employing people.

The governor of the three sides is stationed in Guyuan, and in autumn it is stationed in Huamachi.

It means that Zhang Zongxian has to go to Guyuan to take office, but the governors of these three sides control the governors of Hexi, Hedong, Shaanxi, and the nine generals of Gan, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan.

It is not impossible to stay in Yansui Town first, and Zhang Zongxian still has a lot to do before taking office.

The first is to expand the power of the investigation department. A special grant of 100 million taels was granted to the investigation department, and the investigation department was divided into two departments.

The other department is the Beijing Ministry, which is responsible for intelligence collection and related arrangements in the capital and Liaodong. The person in charge is Ma Shiye, and Li Ergou is Ma Shiye's deputy.

After taking office as the governor of the three sides, Zhang Zongxian will carry out drastic reforms next, which will definitely offend many people.

So the first thing is to increase the power of the investigation department. He will use the investigation department to complete the control of the three sides of Shaanxi, not only to obtain information, but also to intercept and kill those gentry who want to go to the capital to file a complaint.

With Wei Zhongxian around, he was not worried that Emperor Tianqi would have any doubts about him, but for those whose interests were damaged, he must take certain precautions against them.

Then there is the expansion of the Taiping. Whether it is a bank or a grain store, it will be opened all over the three sides of Shaanxi, so as to control the economic lifelines of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu.

Expansion naturally requires a lot of manpower, and the disciples trained by Zhang Zongxian himself are not enough.

At this time, Zhang Zongxian remembered that the partner model in his previous life used the model of recruiting partners to join in to complete the expansion of Taiping.

Banks and grain stores are very profitable. After Taiping began to recruit partners from various states and counties, rich businessmen and gentry from all over the world were also very interested.

For this purpose, Taiping held a press conference in Qingjian County, explaining in detail the policy for partners to join branches of Taiping banks in various places.

First of all, partners who want to join must contribute 5 to [-] taels as operating funds according to the level of the state and county where they are located, and the head office will also allocate funds to support the operation of the branch.

The affiliated semicolon must abide by the various procedures and regulations of the head office, and must accept the irregular audit of the head office.

Partners who join must be responsible for the operation of the branch, and the head office will organize various training courses, which must be attended by branch offices.

For the various non-profit Huimin loans proposed by the head office, the funds will be provided by the head office, and the branch office will be responsible for the implementation. The head office will provide certain subsidies to ensure the operating expenses of the branch office.

For the borrowings of local yamen, the semicolon submits an application, and after the approval, the general office allocates special funds, and the subcolonial funds in each locality are not allowed to use the semicolon funds to lend to the yamen.

Sub-colons in various places must implement the deposit interest determined by the general number, and loans must also be issued in accordance with the requirements of the general number.
The division of profit is determined according to the funds used. The deposits and self-owned funds absorbed by the semicolon are [-]% of the total profit, while the profit generated by borrowing the total is [-]%. No. Take away the bulk.

The policy of joining the grain warehouse branch is also similar, except that the joining branch will not directly take over the official warehouses in various places, but will first intervene in the purchase of grain, so as to monopolize the purchase of grain in various places.

The common people sold the grain and exchanged it for bills issued by Taipinghao, and then the people paid taxes directly with the bills of Taipinghao, or they could go to the bank to exchange it for silver.

After monopolizing the purchase of grain, the official warehouses in various places were naturally in the hands of the grain warehouses of the Taiping. For the loss of profits caused by the purchase of grain, the head office will compensate the semicolons in various places.

The purchased grain will also be stored in a specially built granary. The granary is built in a convenient location. The branch offices in various places can check the storage conditions in the granary at any time, and the general number will also be inspected from time to time.

In this way, the manpower trained by Zhang Zongxian himself can be responsible for the work of the head office, and only need to train the branch offices in various places and check the accounts.

First, it saves manpower, and second, it is also a preparation for the next step of operation across the country. Finally, it can unite some merchants and gentry from all over the country and tie them together with the Taiping.

To be tied to the Taiping is to be tied to Zhang Zongxian.Now that Zhang Zongxian has been promoted to the governor of the three sides, the limelight is immeasurable for a while, and the reputation of Taiping has also increased.

According to the plan, in the next six months, the Taipinghao bank and grain store will be expanded to every prefecture and county in his jurisdiction. For this reason, Taipinghao will issue an additional 50 taels of small-value bills every month in the future to provide financial support for branches in various places. .

In addition to the development of the Taiping, the horse market in Qingjian County will also be moved to the side wall of Yulin Town, where a larger livestock trading center will be built.

At the same time, Zhang Zongxian put all the grasslands that could not be reclaimed in the newly occupied areas up for auction at extremely low prices, put the captured livestock together for auction, and promoted the mature silage technology that had been tested.

Moreover, the purchase price of wool has been increased, and the price of flattery itself is very high. As a result, wealthy folks see that the breeding industry is profitable, and they will actively enter the grassland to raise cattle, sheep, and horses.

Let them replace the Tartars to graze, so that Zhang Zongxian only needs to control the purchase process and prevent the market from fluctuating, so that he can get a steady stream of cattle, sheep, and horses.

Moreover, taxes can also be collected to ensure the supply of military supplies.

At the same time as the expansion of the Taiping, Zhang Zongxian also planned to expand the wool textile industry to Sanbianjun Town.There are a lot of grasslands near the town of Trilateral Army, and the cold weather makes sweaters in short supply.

Zhang Zongxian sent his Zhao staff to sell the shares of wool workshops to the major military towns, prefectures and counties, serving officials, soap officials, yamen servants, hundreds of households, and small flags.Following the model of Jiazhou, you can purchase the corresponding wool workshop shares according to the level.

The wool workshop in Jiazhou will be open to the bureaucrats of Yansui Town to participate in the shareholding, and a wool workshop will be built in Lanzhou and Guyuan respectively.

On the one hand, these bureaucrats will absorb the cash in the hands of the door and increase the silver reserves of Taiping. In addition, this is also to win them over, let them relax their hostility towards Zhang Zongxian, and prepare for the next step of land investigation and military system reform.

Just like in Jiazhou, after the expansion of money houses and grain stores, local governments can no longer manipulate taxation. After buying shares, these bureaucrats have a stable high income to replace the original income of oppressing the people. ,

These bureaucrats will not fight against the governor Zhang Zongxian.
