Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 364 Chapter Thirty-Forty
Because of the issue of bond sales, Gao Jin has been busy for several days, and he just got back to deal with some backlog of business affairs in the past two days. Unexpectedly, not long after he started working, the yamen servant hurried in to report that someone asked to see him.

"See what? I'm busy with the paperwork to settle the case, sir?"

Gao Jin was a little displeased, this yamen servant, why didn't he have sharp eyesight, or would someone else serve him later?
In fact, this is Gao Jin's own trouble. Like other county magistrates, how can he be so busy? Most of them will hire several aides to help deal with the matter. Just be free.

But Gao Jin is now at the time of Guan Yingnong, so he doesn't even bother to hire any aides, and does everything by himself, so it's strange not to be tired.Besides, it's not that the yamen servant has no eyesight today, it's the person who came here, and he can't afford a mere yamen servant.

Therefore, when Gao Jin showed his impatience, the yamen servant bit the bullet and didn't dare to just leave, so he said again, "My lord, you'd better meet these people!"

"Oh?"

Although Gao Jin had a temper, he was not the kind of brainless person, and the yamen servant was still emphasizing this, which proved that the person who asked to see him probably had a reason to see him.

"Who are they?"

"Patriarch of the Zhang family, Patriarch of the Li family, Patriarch of the Zhao family, and more..." The yamen servant was also articulate and had a good memory. When Gao Jin asked, the yamen servant recited all of them.When Gao Jin heard it, well, almost all the gentry and rich men in Chengdu County have come.

At this time, Gao Jin was also a little nervous.It is true that he is the county magistrate of Chengdu County, but the names reported by the yamen servant just now represent the owners of half of the wealth of Chengdu County. When these people gather together, Gao Jin will not pay attention to it.

If these people were really offended, it would be extremely difficult for Gao Jin to do something in Chengdu County in the future.

"Have they discussed it? Come on!"

At this time, Gao Jin could no longer put on airs of the county magistrate, so he went to wait in the side hall first, and naturally some servants brought him tea, and after that, the country gentry came in one by one, and greeted Gao Jin one by one.It can also be seen from the attitudes of these gentry that in fact they did not regard Gao Jin as a high-ranking official. Since ancient times, unless he was an official of a certain level, in front of the first-class rich people in that kind of place, the face of an official is really a shame. Not that big.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gao Jin didn't want to waste his time, so he just went straight to the point and asked them why they came.

I am afraid that these squires had a simple discussion before coming to Gao Jin, so the head of the Zhang family, who is the most wealthy and powerful among them, spoke.

"My lord, I heard that Liujiazhuang issued a bond with a high interest rate, and the length of time can be chosen, and it is jointly guaranteed by Liujiazhuang and the county government. Is there such a thing?"

"Well, it is true, but the county government did not participate in the guarantee. Everyone knows that the county government is the government's government office. How can it participate in civil affairs?" Gao Jin stroked his beard. He was also a county government official. After the grandfather, he only started to grow his beard, and now he has finally achieved a small amount of success.

"Why should the magistrate be secretive? Gaojiazhuang and Liujiazhuang are two sides of the same body, one is damaged and the other is prosperous. The guarantee of Liujiazhuang is equivalent to the guarantee of Gaojiazhuang. The guarantee of Gaojiazhuang means that you are guaranteeing, my lord! "

"The meaning is the same, but the words can't be said that way. If someone with ulterior motives listens to it and sues the emperor, I will be wronged!"

Gao Jin's words fell into the ears of those country gentlemen, and they really made them scoff.I am afraid that the discerning people in and out of Chengdu County know exactly what Liu Jiazhuang is doing under the leadership of Liu Wei.

Speaking of it, it is Bashu, an area that has been independent since ancient times. If it is replaced by any place under the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty, such disturbances as those caused by Liujiazhuang and Liu Wei have already been reported to the court. It was regarded as rebellion and suppressed.

"My lord, I don't know if we can buy this kind of bond issued by Liujiazhuang?"

After pondering for a moment, the Patriarch of the Zhang family, who was the spokesperson, asked again.

"That's it."

Gao Jin felt a little strange, why did these guys voluntarily come to the door before he went to promote it to these people?What made Gao Jin even more strange was that if they wanted to buy bonds only from the perspective of commercial interests, they shouldn't have come to him, the county magistrate, but went directly to Liu Jiazhuang to find Liu Wei, or Gao Yuniang to negotiate. Wouldn't it be better?

It's just that Gao Jin doesn't know, there is really a little problem.

Although Liujiazhuang exists on the edge of Chengdu County as a giant, occupying a large area of ​​Yizhou, but Liujiazhuang seldom actually deals with these gentry in Chengdu County, and there is almost no business.

Because in the past Liu Wei's considerations were mainly focused on military affairs, and the growth of Liu Jiazhuang's assets also came from Liu Jiajun's military operations, and there were almost no specific commercial activities, which led to the outside world not being familiar with Liu Jiazhuang at all. Powerful, the armed forces are the best in Bashu, but no one can really communicate with Liujiazhuang. After all, Liujiazhuang has not yet integrated into the circle of gentry and local tyrants in Chengdu.

Recently, there is a big construction project in Liujiazhuang to build a city, and even the scale of the city is rumored to have surpassed the current Chengdu County. As the wealthiest group of people in Chengdu County, they can't sit still.

They wanted to know about the Liu Family Village and the ultimate purpose of the Liu Family Village, but they had no way out. Now they finally heard that the Liu Family Village was issuing bonds. It's a big deal.

On the east side of the court in the Southern Song Dynasty, no matter whether it is Han Shizhong or Yue Fei, they have never been able to win a decisive victory in the frontal battlefield against Jin. A general of the Southern Song Dynasty led tens of thousands of court soldiers and horses, and directly defected to the Puppet Qi State. The Puppet Qi State, which was suppressed by Liu Wei a few days ago, regained its momentum, and its military strength has also strengthened again.

These have nothing to do with Gao Jin for the time being, but for these wealthy businessmen living in Bashu, they have to make choices in advance for the sake of the family's eternal life.As rich local tyrants, these people's understanding of investment and income is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary families and ordinary people.

In their view, since they could not leave Bashu and Yizhou Prefecture, and encountered such troubled times, they needed a decision.

Although the Liu family led by Liu Wei has not shown an over-expanded attitude except for the construction of the city until now, how can these people like Gao Jin not have their own news channels?

It happened in the territory of Puppet Qi. The battle between Liu Jiajun and the puppet Qi army led by Jin Danzi has spread to Bashu and the ears of these people. As long as they pay a certain price, anyone can know the real situation If it reaches more than [-]% and can be positive and win more with less, then how high the real combat power of the Liu family army has reached, how can these Patriarchs have countless thoughts?
What's more, to meet the golden marbles, the Liu family's army dispatched less than half of its troops, so in the coming chaos, what kind of height will the Liu family rise to?
All these situations will prompt the major families to seriously analyze every action of the Liu family, a rising aristocrat in Bashu.

But this time, the Liu family's large-scale issuance of bonds within the Liu Family Village and the Gao Family Village, in the eyes of the major families, is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the alliance between the Liu Family and the Gao Family, and even gain the right to speak in this alliance Opportunity.

Don't think that the money of these big families all fell from the sky. In fact, such a big family needs generations of talented people to reach the scale it is today.

After a brief discussion, these big families in Yizhou Prefecture decided to unite and have a showdown against the alliance between the Liu family and the Gao family.

Of course, limited to the unfamiliar friendship between them and Liu Wei, after deliberation, it was decided that it would be better to start with Gao Jin, the county magistrate, to open up a breakthrough.

After all, no matter how powerful Gao Jin is, he is only a county magistrate, but Liu Wei is different. He is at least a general. Even if he is not appointed by the court, it is not at all just to drag out the private soldiers of Liujiazhuang and occupy a Bashu. question.

In the view of these patriarchs, the Liu family has already possessed this ability, and Liu Wei's delay in mobilizing it can only prove one thing: people see farther and want to fly higher!
For the major families, what they value is a stable society and high profits, so that the family can further expand. As for who will be the emperor in this world, it is not important.Of course, it would be the best thing if the rulers of the world could protect the interests of their big families more.

"My lord, there is no need to hide this matter. People in the entire Chengdu County and even the entire Yizhou Prefecture already know about it. I just think that such a good thing should be shared by the entire Yizhou Prefecture. Live up to the title of parent official!"

The Patriarch of the Zhang Family stood up and bowed while Gao Jin was pondering, with a single sentence, he lifted Gao Jin up to the sky, making Gao Jin unable to find a staircase to come down.

"Let the entire Yizhou Prefecture share it? Mr. Zhang, is this too arbitrary? Building a city is a private matter of Liujiazhuang and Gaojiazhuang. As long as it is on their own land, even Even the imperial court has no right to interfere, right?"

Gao Jin is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although he still doesn't know why these big families are so concerned about this matter, it is always beneficial to have a good attitude.
