With the dream of getting rich, He Yiwei happily took out 500 strings of coins and gave it to Wang Juan. He didn't even take out a receipt. He wasn't afraid that Wang Juan would cheat him out of 500 strings of coins.
Wang Juan immediately spent the 500 strings of coins. She marked out a place near the county town and asked someone to set up a shelf. The shelf was surrounded by canvas. She also used her identity as a academician of the Jixingyuan Academy to get a lot of books from Luoyang. They were all about the legends of various places.
As soon as the books arrived at Baoxin County, she and Zhang Xiaobao went into the mountain of books and started to organize them according to the region. In the end, the two of them didn't want to waste their energy on this kind of thing, so they asked for help from the local people. Anyone with a bit of skill was hired and organized into books for later use.
"County Deputy Wang, the price of silver is still rising. It's already 30% more than before. I heard that many people are tempted and are preparing to go out to buy silver to sell. Do we need to use administrative intervention?"
Because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy these days, He Yiwei was in charge of the county's affairs. He Yiwei was in charge of finding new yamen runners, renovating the yamen, handling cases, and so on. He Yiwei was in charge of everything, no matter how big or small.
Needless to say, He Yiwei, who had climbed up the ranks bit by bit, was really skilled. In the past, he didn't put his mind on the right path. It would be strange if a person who specialized in using administrative rules to get benefits for himself couldn't do normal things.
For the past few days, he had been paying close attention to the rise in the price of silver and felt that something was amiss. Today, it rose again, so he hurriedly ran over to find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He had a lot of fun talking about administrative interference, which he had just learned.
"Oh, it rose again? County Magistrate He, economic problems should be solved as much as possible through economic means. If it really doesn't work, administrative means should be used. Otherwise, it can only be said that the government is incompetent in economic matters. The relationship between the two is not that simple. After this matter is settled, I will teach you political economy. You have to learn it well so that you can do big things in the future. "
When Wang Juan heard He Yiwei's words, she glanced at Zhang Xiaobao. When Zhang Xiaobao and Weiwei nodded, Wang Juan understood that Zhang Xiaobao found out the purpose of the other party's actions. She felt relieved and told He Yiwei.
"Good, good, that's good. I will continue to look." He Yiwei was happy that he had the opportunity to learn new knowledge. He felt that with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in the county, many things would not be the same as before. Every time a new decree was proposed, there would be at least three purposes. He was still like a child in front of the two of them and didn't know much.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said, "County Magistrate He, go find the owner of the Fengwu Pavilion and ask him to cooperate with the price of silver and increase the price of silver by 10% within two days. Then release the goods. That is to take out all the silver stored in the Fengwu Pavilion and sell it to the person who receives the silver. Half of the money earned must be put into the public welfare of Baoxin County, which is to carry out local non-profit construction that doesn't make money."
"Good, good, that's good. I understand. Half of the money earned will be taken out for local development that doesn't make money. Should we add a reward mechanism for outstanding local economic and cultural contributions?"
He Yiwei tried his best to keep up with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's footsteps. The manuscripts written by the two of them were placed on the desk in the hall. He 'secretly' flipped through them to study and carefully pondered the meaning of the words.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled and nodded. "Yes, we will add an agricultural yield competition first. We will propose a competition between farmland and farmland. When the autumn harvest comes, whichever mu of farmland has the highest yield will be rewarded with the same amount of money. We can pick the top ten to encourage the farmers to spend time thinking about how to increase their yield and make a conclusion."
"Good, good, that's good. I will think about other aspects. For example, craftsmen. Today, our county sent people to participate in the craftsmen competition in the capital, but there are no results yet."
He Yiwei respectfully agreed and turned around to work. After leaving Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's room, the housekeeper outside had been waiting for a while. After looking around, he finally found the master here. However, he didn't dare to go in, afraid that Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao would find trouble with him.
As soon as he saw the master appear, he immediately came over and said, "Master, the silver has increased again. Do you want to go to the Fengwu Pavilion to borrow some money first? You can make a lot of money once you change hands. I have already told the second shopkeeper of the Fengwu Pavilion. They haven't made a move yet and are willing to lend us some silver. We can also use copper coins to exchange for it. It's an opportunity, master. Others haven't found it yet. "
"Good, good, no, what's good about it? Do you think others are fools? This is why you can only be a housekeeper. Other people can be deputy district magistrates and chief secretaries. The Fengwu Pavilion hasn't made a move yet because they haven't received the order. Xiao Bao has given the order to make a move. The people of the Fengwu Pavilion are smart and know what to do. "
He Yiwei suddenly felt that this housekeeper, who was usually good, had become stupid. After scolding him, he walked to the Fengwu Pavilion first.
The housekeeper followed behind and was still unwilling to give up, "Master, are we not going to make money?"
"Do you want money or your life?" He Yiwei asked. The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything else.
That day, the silver price in Baoxin County rose again. It was 40% of the previous price, so the cashier had to slow down. The Fengwu Pavilion began to slowly release the goods. Those who had some money couldn't help but go outside to exchange for silver, preparing to come back and sell it.
"A long, long time ago, there was a big mountain here. It was …"
"Xiao Bao, change the word. A long, long time ago, you used it too much." When Zhang Xiaobao was sorting out the legends, Wang Juan interrupted him.
"Okay, it's said that 1800 years ago, a big mountain flew here …" Zhang Xiaobao realized his mistake and corrected it.
"Xiao Bao! What do you think the other people who go outside to buy silver should do? They will lose money. The cashier will never allow this to happen. "
Wang Juan leaned against Zhang Xiaobao and gently ground the ink as she asked.
Zhang Xiaobao stopped writing and looked at the door. "We can control the economy, but we can't control human nature. They are not kids. They have to bear the consequences of their own actions. Do you think it's so good to have a pie in the sky? Let's wait and see. It will be very interesting. "
*****
Just as the Wind Object Pavilion slowly released most of the silver, and when the other people who had sold the silver elsewhere returned, the person who received the silver suddenly stopped accepting it.
At this time, someone came to the county and wanted to hire a large number of jewelry craftsmen and silver craftsmen. The wage was very high, more than double the usual wage. However, the craftsmen had to be good. They would be evaluated once every month. Only a small number of craftsmen were allowed to stay. If the craftsmen behind them were not good enough, they had to go home.
He Yiwei had just received a part of the money earned by the Wind Objects Pavilion and was preparing to set up a reward system when he received such a piece of news. After considering it for a while, he immediately posted a notice to reward capable craftsmen. As long as they were craftsmen living in Boxin County, they could compete with each other with their own skills. The good ones would receive additional rewards.
There were not many craftsmen in the county. Most of them were farmers. When the craftsmen from other counties heard the news, they all rushed to Baoxin County with their families and prepared to live here.
He Yiwei was very happy. With a large population, if he rewarded talents in other fields, maybe Baoxin County could be promoted from a middle county to an upper county. The original Sanshui County was only a middle county. After being promoted to an upper county, the glory was more attractive. At the same time, the county magistrate could be put in an important position.
He Yiwei, who thought that he had made a great contribution in this matter, did not ask Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan again this time. Instead, he put the reward system in other aspects, such as the breeding of poultry and livestock. He made a reward system for everything related to various industries.
The county's finance suddenly fell by a lot, which made him very anxious. However, he considered that as long as he could survive this period, his income would increase in the future, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Wang Juan saw this clearly and did not ask He Yiwei for help. After all, He Yiwei did not ask for private income for her this time. His little bit of selfishness was nothing more than that he could be promoted and prove himself after being promoted from a middle county to an upper county.
Looking at the enthusiasm of the people in the county in a short period of time, Wang Juan finished explaining the content of a place and sighed.
"It's too hasty. If he issues more disaster coupons for the people to cash out and continue to invest in development, it will become a child-free economy. Of course, if he has the ability to print money in Baoxin County and let others accept it, he can also transfer the upcoming crisis to everyone.
Not to mention that he doesn't know anything, even if he knows, he still can't control it. That requires the advantage of production technology and military technology to do it. Fortunately, he hasn't thought of that method yet.
I want to see how he will solve the financial problem. Does he want to learn from us and use business to lead politics and make long-term investments? Does he have the foundation? Is there a way to generate a return on investment? "
Zhang Xiaobao smiled when he heard Wang Juan's words. "He has good intentions. Fine, let him suffer a bit. We should test the other party's trump card and earn a sum of money from this. The money sent from Luoyang should be arriving soon, right?" "It's almost here.
Li Longji actually interfered and took out ten thousand taels of silver, insisting that we return him eleven thousand taels when the time comes. He just has nothing to do. In the end, two other princes also invested five thousand taels of silver each. Our family doesn't lack money, so it's like a fund. It's worrisome, hehe. "
As Wang Juan spoke, she also laughed. It was just a letter to write back and ask her family to mobilize a portion of the money. In the end, everyone knew about it and insisted on interfering. They even asked for a return rate of ten percent. If this happened to her, she would definitely be angered to death. Who said that one could only earn and not lose money?
"What do they know? They only think that they can definitely earn money by giving us the money. Fortunately, they didn't say a return rate of fifty percent. We can earn less. I estimate that the overall profit range will be twelve to fifteen percent. Sometimes, people giving money is also a disguised form of affirmation and support. This is a matter of attitude. "
