Chapter 288: God reckons the next three "Pah!"
Before Liu Ji could finish his words, Song Ke slammed the table and stood up.
"Liu, you are so shameless.
You keep saying that you are not a lobbyist.
What did you say to me and Brother Zhang just now?
Why are you saying something else now?"
"Zhong Wen, be patient and don't be impatient.
As the saying goes, loyal words are harsh to the ears.
Liu did this for the future of the chief manager.
As for what I just said to you and others, I will naturally mention it to Mr.
Zhu.
It's just a matter of changing the order."
Liu Bowen said Not panicking at all, he smiled slightly and responded calmly.
"You, you are a bastard," Song Ke was furious and continued to curse.
It's so shameless.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.
First, he incites the guests to leave the guesthouse, and then laughs in front of the host that the guest's money came from a shady way.
This was not a piece of advice, it was clearly determined that Zhu Chongjiu would not do anything to him, and he was deliberately trying to gain fame.
He was about to curse a few more words to reveal Liu Ji's ugly face.
Lu Kun, the head of the school bureau who was sitting next to him, patted the back of his hand gently and said, "Zhong Wen, don't be anxious.
How can the chief manager persuade someone to move with just a few false words?
Sit down and listen to the chief manager tell you.
The truth about making money.”
"Sit down, please."
Luo Ben, the magistrate of Yangzhou, also smiled.
He took the opportunity to get up and refill water for everyone, and smiled to appease Song Ke.
Feng Tuan is so famous, but it tastes different when you drink it.”
It wasn't that their elbows were turned outward, but that they really didn't like Liu Ji's topic.
If it is about some "Sub-Collection of Classics and History", it may even make my protagonist feel embarrassed for a moment.
When it comes to how to make money, you are simply digging a hole for yourself.
Anyone who has been in contact with his lord for a long time will not know that Zhu Fozi's greatest ability is to turn stone into gold.
The so-called tool-making skill is probably far behind making money.
Sure enough, after everyone was quiet for a while.
Zhu Chongjiu calmly picked up the tea cup and took a big sip, and then said with a smile, "Bo Wen's concern is that Zhu's policy can be applied to one place, but not to one country.
This is actually quite reasonable. , After all, unlike Huaiyang, where there is a canal running from north to south, I am afraid that there are not so many skilled craftsmen in Huaiyang."
"I can't find as many scumbags as those in Huaiyang who are greedy for money and chase money."
Liu Ji also picked up the teacup and took a big sip, adding with a sneer.
"As for Zhu's capital for reviving Yangzhou, in Bowen's opinion, it came from three places.
First, it was intercepted from Zhang Mingjian.
Second, the salt merchants who confiscated the three places and the wealthy families who refused to bow to Zhu "The third one is to earn money from other heroes by selling artillery at high prices."
Zhu Chongjiu ignored Liu Ji's provocation, took another sip of tea, and continued to speak slowly.
"Exactly" Liu Bowen nodded without hesitation.
"Actually, first and second, they all come from a wealthy family in Yangzhou.
It's just that Zhang Mingjianbai was very busy, but in the end he made the wedding dress for the chief executive."
"That makes sense."

Zhu Chongjiu was surprisingly good-tempered today and did not resent Liu Ji's words at all.
"It is true that most of the money Zhang Mingjian looted from Yangzhou fell into Zhu's hands.
The confiscated money , and indeed both of them were deposited into the Yangzhou official treasury.
Wealth can only be used once and cannot be obtained again in a short period of time.
I am afraid that no one around Zhu will be willing to be the second Zhang Mingjian.
I am afraid that no one in Huaiyang has the courage to openly confront Zhu.
Those who fled, those who died, there are not many left, and more money will be stolen."
"But" he waved his hand gently, Zhu Chongjiu interrupted Liu Ji's desire to speak, and continued to add with a smile, "However, Zhu can tell you with a pat on his chest that these two funds have now been used on the people of Yangzhou. .Zhu I didn’t get a penny, and the government offices at all levels under my Huaiyang Governor’s administration didn’t get a penny either.
In addition, in order to bring Yangzhou back to life, the Grand Governor’s Office at least doubled the amount of money.
Do you know if Bowen can believe it?”
"This" Liu Ji had a look of shock on his face.
Killing other people's rich and helping one's own poor.
Most of the rebels in history basically followed this path.
Including Peng Yingyu, Liu Futong and others, after breaking the imperial state capital, they also plundered all the money from the official treasury and wealthy people, and then kept most of it for themselves, and only used a small part to win over the people.
But Zhu Chongjiu didn't seem to be lying.
Judging from the recovery speed and current prosperity of Yangzhou City, there is no possibility for him to lie.
After all, there are more than 600,000 mouths there.
Whether it is opening a porridge shed to give alms or providing work for relief, a lot of food must be provided.
The price of rice in Huaiyang is still about three times that in Jiangnan.
It would be nice if the little extravagant wealth confiscated from Zhang Mingjian and the wealthy people can prevent people from starving to death.
Yangzhou City will never be so vibrant from top to bottom.
He is a well-educated scholar, not a hooligan.
After he figured out that what Zhu Chongjiu said was the truth, he immediately admitted his mistake, "Liu believes that the general manager is not lying.
Liu has also seen with his own eyes that the people of Yangzhou, Everyone regards the general manager as a living Buddha.
If the general manager is just a person seeking fame, he will not be so loved by the people. " "Then why are you in trouble with Manager Zhu again and again?"
After hearing this, Song Ke slapped the table again and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Bowen, even if all your previous attempts were just lies, this method of testing is a bit too much."
Zhang Yi, an honest man, was also very puzzled by Liu Ji's actions, and Song Ke continued.
Ask.
"Liu is not just trying to tempt you."
Liu Bowen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Liu just doesn't want the millions of common people in Huaiyang and the tens of thousands of heroes in the world to end up in vain."
Without waiting for Song Ke and Zhang Yi to retort, he quickly raised his hand to Zhu Chongjiu and said, "General manager, if Liu has offended someone today, please forgive me.
Liu Ji can swear to God that he did not do it with any malicious intent."
Come" "Bo Wen is serious."
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and shook his head slightly, "This is a tavern, not the meeting hall of my Grand Steward's Mansion.
Even in the meeting hall of my Grand Steward's Mansion, sometimes when everyone disputes, it is as noisy as It’s like a vegetable stall.
Zhu was very angry about this, but he never thought of punishing anyone.”
"Hey, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."
Shi Naian took a sip of water and got into his trachea, choking and coughing repeatedly.
He had experienced the atmosphere in the Grand Steward's Council Hall recently.
It was indeed unimaginably noisy.
But it was noisy, and after the final decision was made, everyone took the initiative to give up the dispute and work together to do things.
It is rare to deliberately undermine one's own people because of political disagreements.
"Then Liu will tell the truth."

Liu Bowen glanced at his senior brother Shi Naian, and then handed over to Zhu Chongjiu again, "General Manager Zhu's third source of wealth is the income from selling artillery to other princes.
Of course there are others, but mainly But it is an artillery piece.
The total weight of a copper cannon is just over five hundred kilograms, but its price has increased steadily from the original one thousand kilograms of copper.
Now it is worth one thousand qian each, which has increased by three times.
More than twice as much.”
"Well, it's true that the selling price has increased a lot."
Zhu Chongjiu's expression rarely changed, and he used a tea cup to hide his embarrassment, "But the current artillery is also very different from the original one.
Although the total weight has not changed much, But the barrel is at least four inches longer than before, and the number of consecutive shots has also been greatly increased."
This was a method he had to copy from Zhu Dapeng's memory as he was pressed by the food problem a while ago.
Count every change to the artillery as an upgrade.
From version 10 to the current version 30, it has risen all the way to infinity.
Anyway, each change is definitely better than the previous version, and customers are free to upgrade or not.
Liu Ji didn't understand artillery, but he also learned from the veteran Zhu Sheng that the longer the tube of this thing, the farther the range.
The increase in the number of consecutive shots means a reduction in the risk of bombing.
Therefore, from these two points, he could not accuse Zhu Chongjiu of being evil-minded.
However, he came to Yangzhou today not to bargain with Zhu Chongjiu.
So he smiled and added loudly, "Mr.
Zhu's achievements in artillery, Liu is willing to be inferior.
But does Mr.
Zhu know that in order to buy your artillery, many heroes have begun to scrape the ground?
Does Mr.
Zhu know that even Liu Futong Over there, the grain tax this year has also increased to 40% of the yield per mu, and they are like this.
Doing this is actually equivalent to helping you steal money from the people, and even so, they still can't stop stealing money from all over the city.
Where will the manager’s new source of wealth come from?
Could it be that Manager Zhu can still brazenly sell the artillery to Meng Yuan?”
"Hiss" Shi Naian didn't care about coughing anymore, raised his head and looked at Zhu Chongjiu with worry on his face.
Although Luo Ben and Lu Kun were very confident in Zhu Chongjiu, they couldn't help but frown slightly at this moment.
They used to think that after they had money, everything the government did became much easier.
But I really didn't think carefully about whether the General Manager's Office would invest the same amount of money in each department under its control every year in the future.
Not to mention, once the situation of drying up the lake and fishing occurs as Liu Ji said, where will the general manager's office go?
In an instant, everyone turned their attention to Zhu Chongjiu, expecting him to bring confidence and surprise to everyone as he did in the past.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly lost interest in talking.
He poured half of Liu Jisheng's tea into his bowl, then smiled and held up a cup to invite him, "Come, Bowen, please have some tea."
"Well" Liu Bowen didn't know what kind of riddle Zhu Chongjiu was playing, so he frowned, picked up the tea cup and took a sip with the other person.
Zhu Chongjiu smiled and drank all the tea in his tea cup.
Then he evened out half of the water in Liu Ji's teacup and continued to invite, "Come, this tea is good, please drink again."
"Haha" Liu Ji suddenly realized and drank the water in his teacup in one gulp.
Then, provocatively, he showed the bottom of the cup towards Zhu Chongjiu.
"Hehehe" Zhu Chongjiu also laughed and waved his hand to signal Robben not to get up.
He picked up the copper pot filled with water and filled everyone's cups.
"Come on, Bowen, please drink again and refill the water.
This pot is too small, please change it to a larger pot
