Chapter 1027 Polarization

In fact, after all, the game between Han Yi and the Ministry of Revenue officials is dependent on who is more dependent on whom.

Officials of the Ministry of Revenue originally thought that they had an advantage. After all, they were large and strong, and there was also Zhang Daxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was comparable to Han Yi. You can't play alone, so Han Yi would be a respectful person.

But they never expected that Han Yi would bypass them and re-establish the cabinet, and it was such a big event. If they were not qualified to participate in such a big event, then what would they do when the Ministry of Personnel came to assess political achievements?

The most terrible thing is that this involves the fundamental interests of the country. This special group has special power, which means that Yang Xianzhi and others have to serve Tang Wen and other minor officials. If you block it, no one can afford to take any mistakes.

Moreover, the arrival of Han Yi has brought a new gameplay. They are all old fry. How could they not know about this gameplay? The role of the Ministry of Revenue will be greatly improved.

The facts show that these Ministry of Revenue officials are more dependent on Han Yi and are more demanding on Han Yi. They must follow Han Yi to have a way out.

At least they have not been demoted, would they bet on their future for this tone?

Han Yi is not really going to break up with them. These people are all members of the Guanlong Group and are all their own family members. They can only give their kindness and power. You must go against me, so you get out. If you must obey my orders, your life will be enjoyable.

After Han Yi's scolding, the officials went out to work honestly.

Shortly after they left, merchants from the two cities came. Compared with the gentry and aristocrats, their merchants had friendship with Han Yi, and were of the same class, so of course they were treated differently.

Han Yi also met them in the lobby.

Almost all the big merchants in the two cities have arrived, with 500,000 guan. If you don’t buy them, you have to come and have a look.

Korean artworks were crafting fragrant tea, and their eyes were swaying from side to side.

When he glanced at him, Qian Dafang and others felt inexplicably guilty and didn't even dare to say anything. After all, this is the Ministry of Revenue, not Beixiang, and Han Yi is still wearing official uniforms.

Han Yi put the teacup on the side and laughed: "You know you're wrong!"

The merchants were stunned at first, and then nodded in embarrassment.

Han Yi snorted and said, "I have told you to give up the land that is tasteless and pity, and concentrate funds to prepare for this wave of **. Just buy food. Do you have to plant it yourself? You really don't want to enjoy life. You can't buy anything with money, and only money can make money. You are hesitant. Now, I'll give you the benefits, and you can't bear to blame me."

Qian Dafang said anxiously: "Isn't that true!"

He actually didn't want to do this business. He wanted the land of these merchants because he knew that the northwest also needed food, so he would do the grain business.

Zhao Sijia said with a sad face: "You didn't mention this at that time!"

Han Yi said a few times and said, "Fourth brother, can I just put the money in your pocket? I'm saying so clearly. What else do you want? I've taken care of you enough!"

The businessmen were scolded and their faces were flushed. When Han Yi asked them to cash out, they were always hesitant. The key was that they didn't know how to play like this. Now, after this announcement, the funds were pale in comparison and they didn't have the money to talk about it.

One person suddenly said, "Shilarious Minister Han, the villain has a few questions, I would like to ask Mr. Han for advice."

Han Yi knew this person, named Dou Heng. He was owed a lot of debts at the time. Later, he took out a loan from the Jinshang Store and fought hard to start a timber business. It was issued in the past two years. The key was that Han Yi had several major projects alone, and the timber became in short supply. He was the most successful businessman after the Jinshang Store appeared. He now has money.

Han Yi said: "Say."

Dou Heng said: "The northwest has always been very chaotic. If we go there, if there is something, it will be all."

Many businessmen nodded.

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is the investment of the court. It is not your family. The court is the big one. Therefore, you don't have to worry about this at all. Now our Tang army is stationed in the important place, and the court will also order them to protect your safety. The contract will also state that if the losses suffered due to security, the court will bear your losses. But if the losses caused by your improper handling, the court will also pursue them from you. This is fair."

Dou Heng said again: "But the problem is here. The court stipulates that only people are allowed to recruit people from the local area. Those people are Hu people who eat raw meat and drink blood. How can we deal with them?"

"contract!"

Han Yi said: "Everything is done according to the contract. The court will guarantee the interests of both parties according to the contract, and this contract of employment will also be written into the bidding. As for why the court did this, the purpose is to reduce expenses and prevent the people from being oppressed. If you take people from the Central Plains, the expenses along the way are quite large, and after all, the laws of our Tang Dynasty were not popularized there. If the people in the Central Plains were oppressed, what should we do?

Don’t think I am a fool. What are your ideas? I understand in my heart that I want to use the exploitation of the people to make more profits for myself. But have you ever thought that the imperial court is not asking you to exploit the people? I advise you to write a reasonable employment system. This will be a point that our Ministry of Revenue focuses on. Because the imperial court does not want to see the local Hu people causing disputes due to your oppression, the people in the Central Plains are even more so.

But you don’t have to worry. Now the people over there are very poor. I have discussed with the local tribe chiefs. They are very happy to invest. The expenditure on manpower will not be very high. In addition, you don’t need to bring many people there, which saves a lot of travel expenses, and there is a lot of profit margins."

Because it was invested by the court, the court certainly had the right to speak. This was not oppression, but just putting forward its own demands.

"Don't talk about these!" Zhao Sijia waved his hand, very unhappy Dou Heng, you are making a lot of money now and have enough funds in your hands, so we don't have them. He said to Han Yi: "Mr. Han, you have to take out a thousand guan at least. We will not be able to bring out so much money for a while. What do you think this should be done?"

Han Yi snorted: "Blame me?"

"How dare I do this!" Zhao Sijia said flatteringly: "We have always followed you, please think of a solution for us."

"I really admire you." Han Yi said: "There are two ways, one is to borrow from the Jinshang loan, and two, several people cooperate and bid together."

The businessmen blinked. In fact, these two methods were not the best. They had to pay back the interest from the financial bank, and the cost was higher. Several people cooperated and the interests were spread out evenly.

Han Yi didn't know what they were thinking, and said, "I tell you, this is just the beginning. The court will adopt more of this method in the future. If anyone performs very well in this cooperation, the court will continue to cooperate with him in the future. This can be said to be a tentative contact between the court and the merchants. If you make less money this time, you can earn more in the future. There are a lot of projects in the court!

In addition, I would like to remind you that in Chang'an, the value of copper coins is greater than that of silk, and in the past, the value of silk is greater than that of copper coins. This is your unique advantage. The court only calculates the price of Chang'an, which means that if you take a piece of silk from Chang'an and throw it into the northwest, don't do anything, you will make a lot of money. There are still many benefits in it, it depends on how you calculate it."

When it comes to settlement, who is Han Yi's opponent? Han Yi's move is to stimulate economic policies. He cannot let businessmen lose money. There must be profits. As for how much they make, it depends on your own.

These merchants are not fools. They also saw the profits in it, but they had no money, and their money was exchanged for land.

If they were hesitant at the beginning, after all, the small peasant economy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and will not be able to change it for a while. But now, as soon as Han Yi took office, he threw out such a big project, which is clearly to stimulate business. This allows businessmen to see hope. It is not just this project, but more of the future.

Therefore, the merchants began to make up their minds to sell fertile land in exchange for cash. They bet not this time, but in the future. If the court attaches importance to commercial development, then money will definitely be much easier than land.

In this way, Chang'an's economy began to undergo structural changes.

In the past, merchants were also landlords, and landlords might also be merchants. After going around, they couldn't tell the difference. There were very few pure merchants. Han Yi was an alternative these days. Han Yi had no land at all. He sold all goods and devoted all his money to it. However, he was so successful.

In addition to grain merchants and wine merchants, merchants began to sell land.

The smart Qian Dafang knew that he was a grain merchant. If he did those transactions, he might not be able to beat others. Therefore, he and Dou Yi, Wei Qing and other grain merchants purchased land on a large scale.

Three days after this policy was released, Chang'an's capital flow created an unprecedented peak.

From this moment on, the merchants in Chang'an gradually left the landlord class and embarked on the path of belonging to the merchants. In addition, they received a lot of cash. Even when facing the big landlords, they did not show any weakness, and their competitiveness also increased a lot.

A polarization pattern of merchants and landlords began to appear in Chang'an.

But then again, the group of merchants is too small, and landlords are still mainstream. In order to be more competitive, merchants adopted Han Yi's suggestion, united with each other, formed a group to participate in this bidding.
