Chapter 134 Sensation of the whole city
Zhang Junping must admit that he was not comprehensive enough before, so he asked Blacksmith Liu to use a hammer to build stoves and cigarettes.
The furnace made of a hammer is beautiful, but the cost is too high and most ordinary people cannot afford it.
Casting with molds is much easier, and the cost of furnaces and chimneys will be much lower, which can ensure that most ordinary people can afford it.
The stove that the people use is a good stove and a good business.
After seeing off the four major grain merchants, Zhang Fu followed Zhang Junping back to the study.
"Langjun, why should I leave this business to them?
We can do it ourselves!"
"Uncle Fu, there is endless money in this world!
We are a noble family, so why do we have to go out and run these business by ourselves?
This kind of livelihood that concerns people's livelihood is different from wineries and bookstores. If you are not good, you will be criticized!
So, just let them manage and we will make a profit later!" Zhang Junping explained with a smile.
"Also, I forced them to sell food at a fair price before, although they were all forced to agree!
However, it is false to say that there is no resentment in your heart!
This enemy should be resolved rather than formed!
The Zhang family is not afraid of them now, but the flowers will not be red for a hundred days, and the people will not be happy for a hundred days!
Who knows, what if our Zhang family is in a downfall one day?
Do you think they will get hurt because of resentment?”
"Definitely! Mr. Lang, why don't I arrange people and kill them all at night?" When Zhang Fu thought that when the Zhang family was in a downturn, those people might come to take the blame, he immediately suggested to Zhang Junping with murderous intent.
"Uncle Fu, don't have such a murderous intent!
This time I handed over the honeycomb coal and stove business to them, letting them make money for us in the front, and second, I took the opportunity to resolve the previous resentment!"
"If you leave the business to them, will they not resent your husband?
What if they still resent in their hearts? I think it’s better to kill them, and it’s safest to get rid of the roots!”
"Uncle Fu, if they were officials of the court, I would not object to using your method to eliminate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever!
But they are businessmen, and what businessmen value most is interests!
As long as there is enough profit, there will be no hatred that cannot be resolved!
The previous resentment was ultimately due to the damage to their interests. Now that I give them enough benefits, the resentment naturally dissipated!" Zhang Junping shook his head and smiled. He really didn't expect that Zhang Fu would have such a great murderous aura.
But it is normal. This is also the most common method for the powerful to solve problems, and it is also the easiest and most effective method.
"Okay! I will make someone stare at them. If they show dissatisfaction with the husband, I will arrange for someone to destroy them!" Zhang Fu still stubbornly thought that killing was the easiest.
"Okay! As long as I am alive, they can't turn over and they can crush them to death at any time!" Zhang Junping nodded with a smile, agreeing to Zhang Fu's method.
...
The next afternoon, Gao Yang and Cao's family brought cotton clothes from the military camp and began to distribute them to the victims for free at the four city gates.
Distribution is not a random distribution, but is distributed based on the list compiled by Vientiane Academy.
In other words, there are no cotton clothes for other powerful people who receive porridge wherever they are. Only disaster victims who receive porridge at the porridge shop of Vientiane Academy and who participate in the self-rescue activities of Vientiane Academy can receive cotton clothes.
I have to work to get porridge at Wanxiang Academy, either clearing the snow on the official road, helping neighbors repair houses, or helping to make porridge in the porridge shed to take care of the elderly and weak victims.
And those victims who wanted to get something for nothing went to other city gates to get porridge.
There is no need to work there, you can get porridge when you go there. Although it is a bit amazing, you won’t starve to death.
There are many differences in the agreement that people agree to be disaster victims.
Some people cannot continue to live because they are affected by disasters and have no work to do, while others cannot continue to live because they are lazy and unwilling to work.
After all, this place is the capital. On weekdays, even if you beg, you can still beg for food and barely survive.
Such people are not within the scope of disaster relief at Wanxiang Academy.
Except for the first day, anyone can get porridge when they come. From the second day, it will not work. Except for those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, others must work after getting porridge, otherwise there will be no porridge to drink at noon.
Gao Yang and Cao's three families distributed cotton clothes to the victims for free, which caused a sensation in the whole city.
This is a big deal, with 100,000 sets of cotton clothes, which is 400,000 guan.
With so much money, even the court has to consider it again and again and dare not make such a hole easily.
Now, the three powerful families directly took out cotton clothes worth 400,000 guan to pay.
There are all kinds of people saying it, some people praise it, and some people say that the three major families are inviting people to buy people's hearts.
Some people even began to collect evidence and prepared to impeach the three major families to steal military supplies.
The use of military supplies is a serious crime.
Even if the three powerful families really take this crime, they will lose their skin even if they don’t die.
Such a big noise outside naturally alarmed Emperor Zhao Heng in the imperial city.
Some people say, is the emperor so sensitive?
It's really so agile.
The Imperial City Department has three responsibilities, one of which is to explore the worldly and peoples of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the other is to monitor the officials of the court.
The last responsibility is to spy on military information from the outside.
The third responsibility is not judged for the time being, but the first and second responsibility are carried out very well.
Basically, the troubles of Kaifeng Prefecture cannot be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears.
"This Zhang Bo'an is really hard to do!
We should do a good job in rescuing disasters and insist on moving military supplies!" Zhao Heng, who had foreseeed that the censors would definitely impeach tomorrow, sighed.
The last impeachment was just suppressed, and this time, another ruthless one was misappropriating military supplies.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Bo'an, you must scold him this time. You are really a little brave, otherwise you won't know how big a mess will happen in the future!" Liu E also said angrily.
Liu E was angry that she was not Zhang Junping embezzled military supplies, but that her so-called brother from her parents was really not good at it. Why do you listen to whatever Zhang Junping said?
Do you dare to do the misappropriation of military supplies?
"Haha! Is my beloved concubine angry with the uncle?
Although Zhang Junping’s idea was the misappropriation of military supplies, the three families of Guojiu and Gao Yangcao were the ones who were specifically dealt with!
Even if I want to scold Zhang Boan, I can't find an excuse!" Zhao Heng sighed just now, but because he couldn't be free tomorrow, he was not angry.
"Your Majesty is wise, my brother is really too real!
He was always deceived by Zhang Bo'an to do some stupid things!" Liu E directly defined the misappropriation of military supplies as a stupid thing.
"It's okay, didn't the uncle of the country just now say that this is not a steal, but a borrowing. Those cotton clothes are not available for the time being in the warehouse.
Gao Yang and Cao's three families took out 400,000 jin of money, which was enough to buy more military supplies!
