Lord of the House

Forcing Lin Fu to force a person into Yandu County Yali, Hu Dahai felt unhappy and thought to himself:

Lin Fu was appointed as the envoy of the Huaidong system, and the first step in infiltrating the local area was to bring the inspection divisions under the jurisdiction of the eleven counties of the two prefectures under the direct jurisdiction of the military divisions. On the basis of the original nine inspection divisions, seventeen new inspection divisions have been added. The inspectors, subordinate officials, officers and sword archers are all selected and allocated by the military division.

These inspection divisions mainly control and transport the Yanhe, Beiguan, Yanqing, Qingjiangpu, Baitang rivers and other major rivers and old post roads in Huaidong, as well as other major Huaidong intersections outside the capital and county towns. , are in the grasp of Huaidong Military Division.

However, it was not enough for Lin Fu to do this. Repairing the seawall was the second step in his infiltration into Huaidong, and he even extended his tentacles into the Huainan salt area through this. Today, seven post castles have been built along the seawall construction section in Huaidong, and village villages have been set up, which has actually robbed the local authorities of relocating displaced households.

At this time, they went directly to the people in the yamen of the county and directly interfered with the affairs of the county.

Hu Dahai secretly made up his mind. When he goes back, he will go to Liu Tingzhou directly. He can't let Lin Bie do anything wrong in Huaidong. Does he really regard himself as the emperor of Huaidong?

Hu Dahai was thinking wildly, and Lin Fu asked him something, but he didn't hear it.

"Master Hu..." Lin Fu called again.

"Ah," Hu Dahai shuddered, looked at Lin Fu blankly, and said, "Please sir, will all the lower officials obey?"

"I asked you how the storehouses in Yandu County were stored, and you asked me in turn what I ordered?" Lin Fu asked.

"Oh..." Hu Dahai responded, knowing that his distraction would make Lin Fu unhappy, but he didn't care about it. He did his homework before coming over, and when he saw Lin Fu asking about the accumulation in the county warehouse, he felt confident to report it. A few figures, "...the raw iron material is more than 2,100 catties, and the refined iron is more than 660 catties!"

Lin Bie pressed the table without saying a word.

Lin Fu's silence made Hu Dahai feel guilty. He was afraid that the answer just now was wrong, so he would pick on it here.

Among many materials, the importance of iron materials should be ranked at least in the top three. Lin Fu had some understanding of the iron material reserves in various prefectures and counties, but after hearing the real numbers from Hu Da's poster, he still felt that it was pitiful.

The market price of a pound of pig iron in Huaidong is 60 cents, which is not much cheaper than that of copper, and the market price of refined iron (ie, steel) is four or five times that. For most impoverished farmers, not to mention the big iron plows that plough the fields, even the shovels, harrows, hoes and other agricultural tools are not easy to use iron tools.

Yandu is also considered a top-ranking county, and the county warehouse has only a small amount of iron stock. It is not difficult to imagine that the refugee army can even conquer dozens of cities, why they can’t even get a knife and a spear in the end. .

It is necessary to strengthen the scale of the Chongzhou Iron and Steel Smelting Plant, Lin Fu thought to himself.

After Lin Fu asked about it, he sent Hu Dahai, Dong Wenbiao and other officials back, and he would stay in Yanqing for two days to inspect the settlements here. Qin Chengzu, Wu Qi and others went back to Chongzhou first, and Zhang Gou, Chen Enze and others stayed with them.

At night, Sun Jingtang, Ge Siyu, Zhu Ai and other officials in charge of repairing embankments and fields came to Yanqing to see Lin Fu; Zhou Guangnan, the head shopkeeper of the newly established Huaidong Bank, happened to be in Gaocheng to the south, and also followed him— - Yanqing became lively again.

Although it was entering August, the weather was still hot. I don't know where the officials in Yanqing came from picking up a basket of melons and soaking them in well water. Lin Fu invited everyone to eat melons in his yard to relieve the heat.

"The bank lends money to the farming community. There are four points to consider," Lin Fu said to Zhou Guangnan while eating melons. "First, we must ensure that the farming community has enough food rations, and second, we must ensure that it can be built to surround the house to protect from the wind and rain. The third is to ensure that iron products can be used for agricultural tools such as plows, shovels, and hoes. Fourth, it is necessary to ensure that each farm has more than 20 cattle. Only by meeting these four requirements can we ensure that land reclamation can be done quickly and efficiently. Go ahead!"

Lin Fu has worked hard to set up the Huaidong Bank. So far, he has raised more than 2.5 million taels of principal. The first thing he needs to do is to ask the bank to support the large-scale resettlement of displaced households in Huaidong and cultivate wasteland.

If the qianzhuang lends money to each household, the lending work will be extremely complicated, and it will be difficult to control the phenomenon of escape, which will lead to a surge in costs. Even if the interest rate remains above 20%, there is no guarantee that the bank will be profitable. In the end, it can only form a vicious circle, turning a good thing into a bad thing.

Lin Fu borrowed the model of the collective farms of later generations and set up a farming community under the village, and recruited about a hundred displaced households to compile a farming community to reclaim the wasteland and plant crops. The Qianzhuang only has a relationship of money and money borrowing and lending with the farming community, and the villages manage the reclamation in the area.

Zhou Guangnan picked up a branch to write and draw on the mud, and replied to Lin Fu: "It's easy to lend money, but how can you ensure such a huge supply of materials? 30,000 households will be resettled by the end of the year, and the adults mentioned. According to the four-point requirement, 6,000 cattle and 600,000 catties of iron materials are needed to raise enough blacksmith households; 1.4 million catties, but less than 400,000 catties can be saved, and there will be a shortfall of 200,000 catties. Now that Jiangdong County is expanding its troops everywhere, there is a huge demand for soldiers and armor, so it is certain that the price of iron will skyrocket; It will soar. It will be difficult to meet the four-point requirements you have raised!"

Zhang Gou squatted aside and ate the melon, listening quietly, he couldn't get in on these things.

At dusk, Hu Dahai said that the iron stock in the warehouse of Yandu County was less than 3,000 catties, and Zhang Gou was also present.

He believed Hu Dahai's words. There are more than one or two county towns that he has broken through. If one city is broken, one or two thousand catties of good iron can be obtained, even if it is a big gain. Because of the lack of materials, in the end, everyone could not control the **** from ordinary households.

Zhang Gou knew that Chongzhou had sufficient supplies when he was in the labor camp, but he was still surprised when Zhou Guangnan said that Chongzhou would be able to produce 1.4 million catties of iron materials this year.

Of course, these are not kept secret from Zhang Gou, but Zhang Gou is not an official who manages political affairs, and usually he does not notice this information.

No matter what Zhang Gou was thinking about, Lin Fu said to Zhou Guangnan: "We need to develop our thinking. We are short of bricks, stones, wood, iron, lime, cattle and livestock. We are short of everything. The existing brick kilns, lime kilns, Cattle farmers and lumber yard have limited scale. The bank can lend them money and let the brick kiln expand the scale of borrowing soil and burning bricks, expanding the scale of burning lime, expanding the scale of cattle raising, and increasing the speed of logging. If there are some The materials are not available in Huaidong, so the bank will lend the money to a reputable firm, let them buy from other places, and ship them back to Huaidong! Also, we will need to obtain iron sand, coal and other materials from Haidong to supply Huaidong in the future. Dong, why don't you want to lend silver to businesses or individuals and encourage them to go to Haidong to mine? Some people want to take a risk and want to buy a boat and go to sea but are short of money. Why can't the bank lend them money? To survive, we must do everything possible to help others think of ways to use money, and encourage others to borrow money from the bank, so that the bank can become more and more prosperous!"

Qianzhuang is the naive form of banks in later generations. Banks are a natural weakness in supporting small loans for farmers, and their real strength lies in supporting the development of industry and commerce.

After Lin Fu's thoughts were spoken through his mouth, there was nothing incomprehensible or particularly shocking, but it definitely made Zhou Guangnan and others think of them suddenly, and they felt a sense of openness.

"Your Excellency didn't tell us this before opening the bank!" Zhou Guangnan asked.

Lin Fu smiled, some good models are not difficult to imitate, and the war has intensified the competition between many forces.

Without Qianzhuang, Huaidong has 100,000 taels of silver, and can only do things for 100,000 taels of silver. Even if the tax is increased, there is a limit to the amount of increase for a while. However, if the bank has developed well, and the bank can continue to expand, even to the extent that it can absorb public deposits, the resources that Huaidong can use will far exceed the limit of its own financial resources.

Lin Fu can't completely prevent other forces from learning Huaidong, but he must limit the speed of other forces' learning, and even try to make other forces learn as different as possible~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How could it be possible to operate the bank in his heart when he was in Jiangning Mode clearly stated?

"I'll tell you about the iron yard now, which requires the active participation of Qianzhuang," Lin Fu said, "Huaidong Military Division will only hold fine iron smelting in its hands in the future, and the technology must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be spread, but We should encourage private individuals to build iron yards and iron workshops in Chongzhou, Shanyang or other places in Huaidong. We can also appropriately support the mining of coal and iron in Yinan, Xuzhou, Jeju, Kitakyushu and other places, and even build large scales in Jeju. The iron yard, the iron sand ship, the coal ship, and the bank will also support... With only the internal resources of the Huaidong Military Division, the output of iron materials in Chongzhou may increase to 2 million catties next year. But the bank needs to participate, By mobilizing people and resources from all walks of life, I hope that Chongzhou's refined iron output will reach 1.5 million to 2 million catties next year!"

Zhou Guangnan and Sun Jingtang were secretive. Last year, the output of refined iron in Chongzhou reached 100,000 catties, which is already an astonishing amount. At the current iron price, two million catties of refined iron are worth 600,000 taels of silver.

I am afraid that the refined iron production of the six southeastern counties combined cannot reach this number now!

However, it is not surprising that Lin Fu put forward such high requirements. An elite armored soldier should be fully armed, at least 30 catties of refined iron will be consumed. Lin Fu plans to raise 100,000 elites in Huaidong, only the iron of the armored armor. The material consumption is staggering.

What general doesn't know how easy it is to use sharp soldiers with sharp soldiers and armored armor? Just which general has the ability to do this?

Lin Fu was a little reluctant to launch a large-scale offensive against Daishan and Changguo after the autumn. For Huaidong, the material preparations were far from sufficient.

It is a pity that the war cannot always be carried out according to the rhythm of Huaidong. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
