The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After a few people bowed and saluted, they went out together.

Seeing several subordinates leave with disappointed faces, Li Wen couldn't help laughing out loud.

Originally, he was worried that these two conferences would not be able to be held, but today he was given a reassurance at the beginning, that he would not worry that the business conference and investment promotion conference would not be able to be held, and no one would attend.According to the progress of this situation, there may not be enough tickets to sell in the future.

Now what he wants to think about is how to hold this conference and how to organize this investment promotion conference. He has to formulate a detailed plan.Otherwise, when so many people flock here in the capital, the reception and arrangement alone will not be a trivial matter.

This has to be discussed with Zhao Xiangyi and Wang Hao to see how the staff will be arranged at that time.

Maybe they know better than him how to deal with and arrange these things.

"My lord, what's so happy about it? Is there something good about it?" Du Ruoheng just happened to go out on something, so he wasn't here, so he didn't hear what happened just now. As soon as he came in, he saw their adults laughing, just because he was curious asked.

Li Wen told Du Ruoheng that all the tickets at the ticket office were sold out.

"Wow, really?" This is just the beginning, less than half a day away!

Du Ruoheng's eyes widened, "One ticket is 100 taels of silver, and ten tickets are 1000 taels of silver..." His mind was crackling counting the money he had earned in the past half a day, and he said, "It all depends Is there tens of thousands of taels?"

"Hmm, you can do the math." Li Wen nodded with a smile in his eyes.

How can I say that all the tickets have been issued, let alone 10 taels of silver as the start-up capital, and the actual income will be more than this predetermined amount.But he doesn't dare to guarantee it now, and he won't know until then.

Du Ruoheng swallowed with difficulty, how much money does this cost?

His family background is ordinary, just slightly better than ordinary people, he has really seen so many taels of silver in his life, and it took less than half a day to earn tens of thousands of taels!So can you keep him from breathing hard?

Seeing Du Ruoheng's face stunned by the money, Li Wen felt it was funny again, "This money is not our own, let's make you happy. At that time, these silver taels will be of great use. Look at this now." If you spend a lot of silver, you won’t see much of it when you use it.”

"The arrangement of personnel and venues for the two conferences, as well as some miscellaneous expenses in the middle, we have reduced the budget, and we must spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, right? And our commercial market needs to be built. Now the capital The price of the land is so high, even if we are a public company, the bid must not be too small..." If it is too small, others will definitely not want to move out, and this will involve the issue of demolition. Well, I'm afraid there will be some contradictions.

In the capital where every inch of gold is worth every inch of land, land has never been cheap.

The capital is mainly divided into four major districts, the southeast, the northwest, and the center is the center of imperial power. The land price in the southeast district is too high.

It is definitely not possible to set up a comprehensive market here, so he set his sights on the West District and the North District, and finally determined that it is in the North District. It is one thing that the land here is easier to collect.Another reason is that the North District is a place where the poor live, and the people here are mixed, and it is the most chaotic place in the whole capital. He wants to plan and develop this area through re-planning.

When this comprehensive market is built here in the North District, it will definitely stimulate the economic development of this area and provide some jobs and employment opportunities for these poor people.At that time, as long as there are reasons to work with hands and feet, they will definitely not starve to death.

There are many problems in the city of the capital. The emperor sits in the palace, and the officials of the court are thinking about how to make money for their own pockets all day long. Naturally, they don't care about how these ordinary people live. Yes, so in this seemingly prosperous place in the capital, rich people have a lot of wealth and countless wives and concubines, and poor people can't even eat enough.Since he proposed to open this comprehensive market, it is necessary to consider various issues in all aspects, which can bring more benefits and benefits.It would be even better if it could serve multiple purposes.

Regarding the planning and establishment of the comprehensive trading market, Li Wen had already obtained permission from the emperor, otherwise he would not have dared to start such a big event.

To start a large-scale comprehensive trading market, the initial investment is a large amount, so Li Wen thought of the method of attracting investment. The funds collected can be used as initial start-up funds to establish this large-scale business. Comprehensive trade market.At that time, these shops will be sold in large quantities, which will bring them a large amount of income. Therefore, the previous business conferences are actually paving the way for future investment promotion.

They are really too poor now, the Ministry of Household Affairs has no money, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce can only think about what they want to do, and wait for him to calculate the expenses with Du Ruoheng, and Du Ruoheng will feel bitter. He asked, "My lord, I'm afraid this little money will not be enough by then?"

"It's hard to say." This is really hard to say, and Li Wen himself is not sure.

However, he already had a vague prediction in his heart. He was afraid that this little money would not be enough by then, so this money, at the critical time, was really a problem.

At this time, several ticket offices of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce issued notices that "today's tickets are sold out. If you want to buy them, please come back tomorrow." Those who don't get tickets are not satisfied.

"Didn't you say that there are [-] places? It's only the first day, how could it be gone so soon?"

"Are you deliberately not selling tickets to us?"

The gates of several ticket offices were crowded with people, and the staff were exhausted from explaining, and they couldn't calm down everyone's excitement.

Some businessmen wanted to buy more tickets because they thought about their friends who hadn’t come to the capital from other places. Some scalpers saw so many people queuing up to buy tickets and saw that there were business opportunities to make money here, so they all came here Queuing up to buy tickets, that's why these tickets were sold out early.

But they can't help if they can't buy tickets. Today's tickets are sold out. Knowing that there will be tickets tomorrow, some people around here have to leave first, thinking that they will come back tomorrow to buy.There are still some people who are not willing to leave, wandering outside the door of the ticket office, wanting to see if they can buy a ticket.

Some scalpers who bought tickets took the opportunity to sell the tickets in their hands, and they could earn ten taels of silver every time they came back.

At this time, I felt that earning ten taels of silver was too much, and when the next ticket sold for hundreds of taels, these scalpers who sold the tickets in their hands first realized that they had lost a lot.But at the moment, these scalpers are still complacent about earning such ten taels of silver.

These are all things for later.

Li Wen did not expect that early in the morning of the next day, officials would go up and impeach him, saying that he used the name of the court to collect money and ruined the reputation of the court.There were also some stubborn old men who pointed at his nose and scolded him, saying that when he was an official interfering with merchants, he was insulting to the gentlemen and tarnished the reputation of officials in the DPRK and China, etc., and asked the emperor to remove him from his official position and investigate him.

With these unwarranted charges being charged, these people no longer want to pull him down as simple as that, but want to kill him!

None of these people knew how much silver they had embezzled or how much money they had collected. How dare they point at him in the Golden Luan Hall and say that he collected money in the name of the imperial court and ruined the reputation of the imperial court?

If you want to say that the reputation of the imperial court is ruined, it is not you people丨! !

For those who wanted his life, Li Wen felt that he didn't need to be too kind to the enemy, being kind to the enemy was being cruel to himself!

"Then, my lords, you said that I borrowed money from the court, but I collected the money for my own use? Don't you need to spend money to hold a business meeting? Do you need to spend money to build a trade market?"

"Then, my lords, are you able to pay out these silver taels?" When he got the money, this one was as afraid as a quail, and Li Wen pointed to the officials who impeached him and asked sharply, "Since starting a chamber of commerce requires money, opening an investment promotion conference requires money, and preparing a market requires money, all of these are the same, which one does not require money?

So tell me, where did the money come from? "

"Since none of you are willing to pay this money, then what's wrong with me using the collected silver taels for formal purposes, to hold conferences and establish markets? Money is taken within limits and used reasonably. Then, I would like to ask, why do I say that I am borrowing the name of the court to collect money and ruin the reputation of the court?"

None of these people could answer his questions.

That's good, but on the topic of "Officials involved in merchants are disgraceful and unworthy of being an official", Li Wen launched a second round of attacks, "People eat whole grains, farmers farm land, craftsmen work, and merchants engage in business. , People from all walks of life perform their duties, so why do you say that being a merchant is low?"

"If everyone goes off to study, who will cultivate the land? Who will produce the equipment? Who will sell the surplus goods?"

"You, you are talking nonsense!" These old men started to play rascals as soon as they couldn't say anything.

Li Wen will not let go of these people who want his life so easily, and become popular in front of the emperor

Eyes, crying with grievance, "Your Majesty, I just want to do something practical for the court and the people, and some people

"Put such a big hat on the minister, and want to force the minister to death with unwarranted charges... Your Majesty, I am loyal to Dacheng and you, the world can learn from you, I beg the emperor to see clearly..."
