Chapter 1662

"You tell the whole story," Fang Yun said.

Dong Wencong nodded and said: "Xiangzhou has superior geography, suitable environment, dense population and abundant resources. Especially after the improvement of the Terran's water transport capacity, the baling city near the river rises. The water transport is developed, the things needed by the workshop can be entered at a low price, and the things produced by the workshop can be transported away quickly, so there are many workshops in Baling city. There are rivers and lakes in the north and west of Baling City, which is the most suitable for hydraulic organs, so the north is formed Workshop area and West workshop area, you must have seen it when you climbed the military building... No, it was Yueyang Tower. "

Fang Yun nodded gently and said, "indeed."

"Many years ago, even though baling had great advantages and formed a continuous workshop area, it only made some baling city people feel better and did not benefit the people of Xiangzhou. Because all the workers, scholars or excellent craftsmen in the workshop were Qingguo people, they only gave the simplest, dirtiest and most tiring jobs to baling city people. Moreover, they bought logs and medicinal materials from Xiangzhou at a low price And grain. After making paper, patent medicine or other goods, they will be sold to Qingguo or other countries first. Only those surplus goods will be sold to Xiangzhou people, and the price is higher than that sold to other countries. "

"When you hear this, people will ask why Xiangzhou people don't buy goods from other places, but you must know that Qingguo has set up a Xiangzhou meeting, and all goods are decided by the Xiangzhou meeting, and the Xiangzhou government has no right to manage. The members of the Xiangzhou meeting are all major commercial firms in Qingguo, and the real owners of all major commercial firms in Qingguo or Shengyuan mainland are aristocratic families, royal families and giants "Or senior officials from various countries."

Fang Yun nodded gently.

Dong Wencong continued: "In the rest of Qingguo, these big businesses still need some face. After all, they always want to publicize that if they do too much for the sake of the people of Qingguo, they will be criticized by the educated people of Qingguo and other countries, and even shake the country's foundation. But Xiangzhou is different, so Qingguo connives at the Xiangzhou meeting. Xiangzhou meeting is not an official government, does not need face, but only money, so they use all means Squeeze the people of Xiangzhou. So far, what really needs to control the people's life in Xiangzhou is not the government, but the Xiangzhou society. "

"I know something about it," Fang Yun said.

"Xiangzhou will control all aspects of Xiangzhou. In the first year when Xiangzhou was taken back by Jingguo, Jingguo stood still, and they didn't give up Xiangzhou. They just compromised, such as increasing the salary of workshop workers, reducing the price of things sold, attracting workers and scholars in Xiangzhou, such as moving away the paper workshop with too much waste water, etc. but from the second year, all businesses in Jingguo The bank began to enter Xiangzhou. However, Jingguo's commercial banks are very aware of the strength of Xiangzhou, so they are piecemeal, only open shops and do not build workshops. "

"After testing, Jingguo firm found that Xiangzhou was a treasure land for making money, so it was ready to enter Xiangzhou. But Xiangzhou Association immediately used some tricks to make those firms realize the strength of Xiangzhou Association and hesitate. Until recently, Zhao firm officially broke the deadlock and began to build a large paper workshop in beigongfang District. After completion, the paper produced can at least meet the demand The Zhao family's workshop has not yet been completed, so it began to publicize and treat workers equally. The price of paper is also in line with the whole human race, which is equivalent to digging the roots of all the paper workshops near baling City, and 70% of the paper workshops in Baling city belong to Qingjiang business. "Dong Wencong said.

"Is it Ge million's firm?"

"Yes, it's the famous Ge million's firm. However, although people used to call him Ge million, his wealth has been billions of liang of silver. Of course, you should know that those wealth does not belong to him completely. He is not the owner of Qingjiang firm, but the big shopkeeper of Qingjiang firm." Dong Wencong said and took a look at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun smiled and nodded gently. He still understood this. Those emerging senior official families or families that are inconvenient to do business directly for various reasons will cooperate with a businessman and let the businessman show up. They are waiting behind their backs to collect money.

Because it is illegal for senior officials to use their power to make money, they use some local proverbs to dirty their hands, and these businessmen are like clean gloves to cover up the dirty hands of senior officials, so these businessmen are also called white gloves.

Ge million is the biggest white glove in Qingguo.

Fang Yun knew Ge million's identity for a long time. Although he hated this person for colluding with officials and businessmen and ignoring the life and death of the people, he was still quite sure of his own ability. If someone else supported him, even if there were senior officials behind his back, he might not do so much to Qingjiang firm.

Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "it should be Ge Yiming, Ge million's distant nephew and Xiangzhou Jinshi tycoon, who incited the baling people to go to the streets this time. The Ge family is afraid they hate me deeply, so they just finished the new performance conference yesterday. Today they can't wait to incite the baling people to go to the streets. On the surface, it is a fight against Zhao's business, but secretly it is to attack my prestige."

Dong Wencong exclaimed: "You are really 'sitting at home and knowing the world's affairs'. Although Ge million is the big shopkeeper of Qingjiang business firm and can handle high-ranking officials and dignitaries easily, he is not in a high position after all, even if people and money are empty. Therefore, his nephew Ge Yiming in Xiangzhou suddenly appeared in the public's sight. He is a scholar. His words are often unexpected, but it is reasonable that he is the key person Recruit talents and accept customers. They have a wide range of friends among scholars, and are good at creating some small events to let the common people remember that although most common people think that this person is expensive as a scholar and a rich man, he is very confident, so he also has a high popularity among the common people. "

Fang Yun smiled and said, "after Ge Yiming returned to Xiangzhou from Kong City and became a Jinshi, his literary name began to soar. It should have been seven or eight years ago."

Dong Wencong said: "No matter those rich families who have accumulated for many years or those who have risen in recent years, whose children are as publicized as GE Yiming? There is no one. Why? The Ge family is unstable. Because Ge million wanders among the dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty, he will lose his reputation if he is careless, and it is difficult to protect his family. In order to avoid the loss of wealth caused by disasters, he must transfer part of his wealth to others Ge Yiming is the most suitable candidate for the Ge family. Ge Yiming's previous almost self polluting things are nothing more than promoting the literary name. Once the literary name is enough, even if Qingjiang firm changes greatly, Ge million will end as soon as he dies. Those people will not kill all of them, and will make GE Yiming a stable rich man. "

"A dog that can bite doesn't bark. In those days, facing the persecution of Liu Zicheng, Liu Zizhi and Ji Zhibai, I wanted to use all means to enhance the text name just to make them throw away the mouse. Now, even in the face of Zonglei's family, I won't publicize it." Fang Yun said.

"That's the truth. However, Ge Yiming is indeed the dragon among people. He is a tycoon in business. If he studies literature, he may become a great scholar. As for GE Yiming, he is cultivated by GE Yiming with all his strength, which is naturally far beyond ordinary people in all aspects. It's not too much to say one in a hundred, but those scholars or scholars occasionally evaluate him with only four words, which is the posture of the middle and the top." Dong Wencong made no secret of her dissatisfaction with Ge Yiming.
