The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1736

[1736. Chapter 1651 Kill with one blow]

Yang Yiqing is a very efficient person.

After all, officials have experienced many ups and downs and experienced many more things than ordinary people.

He is already capable and has experience at the grassroots level. Now that he has integrated the new learning and new policy methods, the energy he has exploded is extremely amazing.

That day, he left the Qingyuan County Magistrate and discussed in detail all the details of implementing this big policy. The next day, he met with all the officials in Qingyuan County. He stayed up all night and drafted a charter.

Of course, in Baoding, everything is discussed first to study feasible plans, then draw up detailed rules, and finally give orders for trial implementation. After the trial implementation, mistakes are reviewed and corrections are made, and finally officials in other prefectures, states, and counties are ordered. I came here to observe and learn, and then promoted Baoding to be the chief envoy.

This is a set of meticulous methods, which have been explored time and time again, so Qingyuan County is not surprised by it, but… they still can’t help but discuss the content of this big plan.

Can it be implemented and can things be accomplished?

No one has any confidence.

In the evening, Xishan had sent someone to talk with Yang Yiqing in detail. Yang Yiqing didn’t rest until midnight tiredly in the hut in the back office.

Early the next morning, every village and village in Qingyuan County had begun to announce the following list, and even in every school, every tea house, and every market, propaganda strategies began to appear.

At the same time, Yang Yiqing began to invite relevant businessmen from Baoding to continue the discussion.

This is a long process. During this process, people involved in it are not surprised, but for ordinary people, it is extremely shocking.

A memorial sealing Yang Yiqing was quickly sent to Nanjing.

These are some of the difficulties he encountered in his understanding and implementation of the big policy. Of course, he still had to pour some bitter water.

However, there are complaints between the lines, but there is absolutely no doubt about the big policy.

………

At this time, Nanjing City was already going crazy.

The land has been rising for days, especially as a large number of big gentry have taken action. On the market, it is as if money has turned into papyrus and has become worthless. The land that was originally worth a few taels of silver has started to skyrocket in the blink of an eye. In just four or five days, , it actually reached twenty-three taels.

A surge of three times…

This means that Qi Zhiyuan spent 5 million taels of silver and purchased land worth 15 million taels.

Needless to say, the Qi family itself still has a lot of land.

Under such huge profits, the whole Qi family was boiling.

I never dreamed that there could be such a good thing in this world.

In the past, by collecting rent from tenants, I was afraid that I would not be able to earn the money I earned in these few days in three lifetimes.

Qi Zhiyuan put on big sunglasses and a big gold chain around his neck.

In fact, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River did not like these things. In the eyes of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, these things were indecent and only the wealthy locals in the north liked them.

But Qi Zhiyuan was really overjoyed. He suddenly realized why those wealthy locals liked this thing.

If a person can make huge profits in a short period of time, no matter who he is, he can’t help but want to raise his tail and scream. This is human nature. These big sunglasses and big gold chains, to a certain extent, are enough. This psychological need.

The Qi family has already passed the time of dissatisfaction. After all, it has been inherited for more than ten generations, and they are rich and wealthy. But this time, they have tripled their family fortune. , Ordinary people, it is nothing to increase their family fortune several times, but for a family like the Qi family, it is extremely terrifying for their wealth to skyrocket.

Now, everyone outside knows that the Qi family has become prosperous again.

Many people began to follow the example of the Qi family. Some people realized it later and naturally started buying land like crazy.

Not enough money? It doesn’t matter, you can use leverage, use land as collateral, you can borrow enough money, buy the land, and wait for the value to appreciate.

This is a good deal with huge profits!

Borrowing… to a certain extent, was out of the question for many gentry.

Seeing that there is a lot of money to be made, why not make it? After all, they don’t have much money left in their hands. If they don’t make it themselves, others will make it.

In this Jiangnan land, all the gentry need to be reshuffled, but they can’t let others’ family fortunes far exceed their own. Why should they be willing to be inferior to others when they have been running for generations and are better than others?

What’s more…don’t others also borrow it?

Here at Xishan Bank, funds are starting to get a little tight.

Fortunately, the bank has canceled the loans of ordinary people. If you only want to borrow dozens or hundreds of acres of land as collateral, the bank will not bother to deal with it.

Jiangnan here is like a carnival, everyone is harvesting the land crazily, waving borrowed money, everyone is Qi Zhiyuan, and everyone is asking around for the price of the land.

The price of this land can be said to change day by day.

Qi Zhiyuan is naturally much more prosperous.

In Nanjing, he was invited to an academy of eight-legged art.

Nowadays, the Eight-legged Writing System for Scholarship Recruitment has been abolished, but in Jiangnan, there are still scholars who study the Eight-legged Writing System.

Following the inertia, people still have great respect for these scholars who can read stereotypes.

Because of this, Qinhuai Academy came into being.

As soon as Qi Zhiyuan arrived, the dean of the academy personally welcomed him out, followed by local celebrities who greeted each other with greetings.

The dean said with emotion: “Qi Gong is a philanthropist and is willing to donate 8,000 taels of silver to the academy to subsidize the academy. This kind of charity is really eye-opening. Qi Gong, please come.”

Qi Zhiyuan smiled, but he didn’t care much in his heart. , it’s only eight thousand taels of silver, and I just sold a piece of land that was as big as a nail crack, and I came here.

The reason why I support this academy is that this kind of academy is highly appreciated by the princes of the Six Ministries of Nanjing, and because the princes of Gongun believe that the eight-part essay is still the right path, and true scholars must not be abandoned, so they donated money this time. , the dealings with Nanjing Sixth Department were easy.

Qi Zhiyuan only nodded and entered the academy together with other gentry.

In this academy, all the students came to Minglun Hall one after another. Qi Zhiyuan had the reputation of being a civil servant, and he had donated a large amount of gold and silver this time, so he had to stand up and say a few words at this moment.

Qi Zhiyuan stepped forward, looked at the scholar under the turban, and opened his mouth in excitement: “When Yu Zi entered the academy, he saw an archway first and wrote ‘Teacher for Eternity’, hoping that the most holy teacher would teach the sacred knowledge and have disciples. Seventy-two, the name moved the world, and it was also the Spring and Autumn Period, and the rebellious ministers and traitors were frightened by it. Now we are waiting for the lackeys in the sect to be unworthy, and even let the traitors…”

When he talked about the traitors, he deliberately prolonged the tail tone, and meant something.

The dean on the side changed his expression. He was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he coughed desperately.

But the scholars are applauding one after another. The future prospects have become dim and unclear, and the road to official career has been cut off. This has long made these scholars anxious and uneasy. In the final analysis, isn’t it just a traitor?

Qi Zhiyuan’s face turned red with excitement.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth.

Although he was happy in his heart, he also had strong hatred, so he ignored the dean’s hint and was about to continue speaking…

But at this moment, someone suddenly came in hurriedly, shouting: “This is not good. “It’s bad.”

The person coming… is actually a descendant of the Qi family.

The young man shouted: “Uncle, uncle… something big happened…”

“What are you doing?” Qi Zhiyuan’s face turned cold, and he snapped at his nephew angrily: “Why are you here?”

There was a crowd of people below. Readers, you looked at me and I looked at you. They didn’t know what was going on, and they all whispered.

The dean immediately stood up and wanted to signal everyone to be quiet.

The other gentry looked at Qi Zhiyuan with somewhat jealous eyes.

After all, the Qi family made the biggest profit from the ups and downs of the land. Although the people behind them also took action, they could only get a share of the pie.

Now that he saw an accident, he looked at the Qi family disciples in confusion.

The young man looked extremely anxious and said anxiously: “Baoding… Baoding… has issued a notice and has spread it to the world…”

Baoding…

Baoding is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, hundreds of thousands of miles away, and has no connection with each other. Baoding issued a notice.

What does this notice have to do with Southern Zhili?

Qi Zhiyuan had a sullen face, feeling that this nephew was very ignorant. If this happened today, he would probably be laughed at.

The Qi family, now… can no longer be laughed at.

So he bit his lip and remained silent, trying desperately to show his magnanimity.

The nephew continued: “Uncle, this article claims to be some kind of big policy to benefit farmers. It says…it says that since Baoding, it has begun to subsidize all the rent-free land of Xishan Bank. All subsidies will be unified by the government. Carry on, rent-free land, the government provides its improved seeds, and subsidizes the fertilizers and insecticides used…”

Buzzing buzzing…

suddenly… chaos began in Minglun Hall.

Baoding started providing subsidies…

to those who had already taken advantage of Xishan Bank and obtained rent-free land?

Qi Zhiyuan opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: “This…how is this possible…if we talk about it…where does the money of the imperial court come from? Isn’t it worth the loss?”

The nephew said: “Uncle… …The notice made it very clear. It said that the common people were ignorant of farming. When some people plowed in the spring, they just wanted to invest as little as possible on the land, so they were unwilling to buy good seeds and were reluctant to use fertilizers. As a result, the annual output was low. This move , not only to benefit the people, but also to encourage the people to use the best grain seeds and popularize fertilizers. In this way, the court will certainly provide a lot of subsidies, but if this can increase grain production, it will ultimately benefit the whole world. , the Xishan Bank and the Farming Station also issued notices saying that they would try their best to assist in this matter. The Chief Envoy of Baoding dared to be the first for the world, starting with Baoding, and then spreading to the whole country. “

What…

this is already said. He understood very well, but…

Qi Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his whole body was cold, and his eyesight turned a little dark.
