Mingshi

Chapter 1427 Business
"Not bad!" Zhang Xun patted the table and said.

Everyone's faces became serious, and they were terrified after thinking about it.At this time, Mrs. Zhang entered to deliver food and drinks, saw several people with solemn expressions, and said:

"what happened?"

"It's okay!" Zhang Xun waved his hand, then looked at Luo Dao: "No, you can do it?"

Luo Xin thought for a while and said: "Actually, not all officials are oriented towards corruption, there are still many people with ideals in this world.

but……

Sometimes ideals are good, but reality forces them to be greedy, otherwise they will not be able to live.

What we have to do is to give these idealistic people a way out, so that they can have enough food and clothing without being corrupt.In this way, there will be people who will serve the country wholeheartedly.In this way, under the constraints of the law, there will naturally be fewer and fewer corrupt officials.Daming will truly rejuvenate. "

"But how to make officials live decently?" Zhang Xun said: "You don't need to be decent, just let officials have enough food and clothing."

"Salary increase!" Luo Xin sighed, "Actually, the Ming Dynasty's finances have been opened up, which can fully support officials' salary increases. But..."

Luo Xin kept silent, and everyone knew why, so they all remained silent.

"drink wine!"

Zhang Xun felt depressed in his heart, picked up his wine glass, and drank it down, everyone felt depressed, even Luo Xin, picked up his wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.

"No, you said we have to wait until His Majesty..."

Luo Xin waved his hand, and Zhang Xun also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he closed his mouth.Jin Yiwei is pervasive, who knows if what is said here will be eavesdropped by Jin Yiwei?

"Let's not talk about that first!" Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Some things will have completely different results when you do them. If you do them at one time, you will be successful, but if you do them at another time, not only will you not have the slightest success, but you will also be successful." die.

We are not afraid of death, but if we cannot succeed after death, then it is not worth it. "

Everyone knew what Luo Xin meant, that is to say, there is no possibility of success in the matter of increasing the salary without the death of Emperor Jiajing.And he will be dismissed from office, maybe thrown into prison.If it falls into Jin Yiwei's hands, if it doesn't die, it will peel off its skin, and maybe it will die.

As Luo Xin said, they are not afraid of death, what they are afraid of is that they will not succeed after death.It would be meaningless to die.

Everyone fell silent, feeling panicked in their hearts.

Especially for Zhang Xun, Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan, only Haizheng's family is in good condition here, even without salary, they can still survive.Yun Zhiqiu, Tao Xingyan and Zhang Xun all borrowed money to survive.Yun Zhiqiu and Tao Xingyan also had a little spare money this year, which was saved because they went to the south with Luo Xin.

What about next year?
In fact, Haizheng was not having a good time, and even felt a little suffocated.His family is in good condition, but he has become an official, and he still needs to be supported by his family. He is not the only one in his family, he also has brothers and sisters, and he is usually ridiculed by his brothers and sisters.How can this be pleasant?

"I'm going to start a business, everyone should participate." Suddenly Luo Xin said.

All four eyes lit up.

Who is Luo Xin?

Daming God of Wealth!

As long as you do business with Luo Xin, you can earn money properly.

This time it is not like when Luo Xin invited them before, they still refused because of their faces, now they have been officials for many years, and they know how hard it is to live without money.

I can't survive!
However, afterward, the faces of several people darkened again, and Zhang Xun even spread his hands and said:

"No money!"

Then he said: "No, I want to do business with you, and spend the money I earn to be confident, and to keep my wife and children from starving. But, I don't have any money. Don't say lend me it first, then you are in vain. Give me a share, although we are brothers, but I don't have such a thick skin."

"I can come up with some money, maybe a few dozen taels, but what kind of business can I do with this little money?" Yun Zhiqiu said.

"Me too!" Tao Xingyan said: "This is what I have saved in the past half a year, and a little bit of spoils I got from fighting in the south."

"I can borrow some from my family, but...it won't be too much." Hai Zheng said.

"It shouldn't be a problem for Zhou Yu's family to spend some money." Luo Xin said while thinking, "There should be no problem with Liu Wenxiu's family, neither should Huang Sheng, and neither should my uncle Luo Zhi. I have a way to solve you. Now there is no money to invest.”

"What way?" Everyone cheered up.No one thinks money bites their hands, not to mention, these guys are bitter haha.

"If you can get together the money yourself, give me the money within ten days. If you can't get the money together, you can do this. You sell the house in the capital and give me the money to buy the house."

"Sell the house?" Zhang Xun and others couldn't help grinning and said, "The house is sold, where do we live?"

"I've done some calculations." Luo Dao said, "I have a manor outside the capital, and the Luo family's winery is located in that manor, but that manor is so big that we can develop a garden as our joint venture workshop. But It needs to be rebuilt, some equipment needs to be added, and some slaves need to be bought. You also know that the secret recipe of the workshop is very important and cannot be leaked, so don’t hire people, it’s better to buy slaves.”

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

"The security work also needs to be improved, so we need to hire some more veterans. You all know my position in the military. This can be solved by me, but it all requires money. Then the products we produce need to be distributed to Daming South The seven north and sixty-thirteen provinces require a lot of manpower, all of which require money. The last thing is the money for purchasing materials, and the money for operating the market. So, about 1 taels of silver are needed.

Although the house you bought in the capital is not big, if you sell it, you can still sell it for 1000 taels of silver.Each of you can invest 500 taels of silver, and then rent a house with the remaining 500 taels of silver.Waiting to make money, and then buy a big house in the capital. "

Haizheng asked: "The eight of us each contributed 500 taels, which is half of the share. How long will it take to earn back the capital?"

Zhang Xun and others couldn't help staring at Luo Xin, Luo Xin stroked his chin and thought for a while and said:
"It can be as slow as a year, or as fast as a few months. But don't think about dividing the money in a few months. We divide the money at the end of each year, and we can't divide all the money we earn. At the beginning, we The 1 taels of silver is simply not enough to spread in the [-] provinces in the south, seven, north, and even the thirteen prefectures. In the future, we still need to spread our products to various counties, so we can only divide half of the money every year. The profit is for everyone, and the remaining half of the profit is to expand the business, so that we can earn more and more."
