Sitting in his study room, Tang Youbao looked at the young man sitting where he should be sitting with a complicated expression.
Liu Mingqi had only arrived in Xiushan Mansion for less than a day, but he had already turned the entire Xiushan Mansion upside down and completely changed.
Liu Mingqi must have come to Xiushan Mansion to suppress the price of tung oil, which he has already done.
Under his coercion and inducement, a group of businessmen from the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce rushed to express their loyalty and apology, and directly lowered the price to eighteen yuan again.
The previous price of fifty cents per pound was like a joke.
The price of tung oil in Xiushan Prefecture does not represent the price of tung oil in all venues.
¡°But because Xiushan Prefecture is such a prefecture, it accounts for 20% of the country¡¯s tung oil production.
The remaining 80% of the output is scattered in dozens of state capitals and counties, so of course it is impossible to gather strength.
So they usually use the price in Xiushan Mansion as a reference.
No one dares to raise prices on a large scale. Otherwise, if the price of tung oil in Xiushan Prefecture drops, be careful that your tung oil will be lost in your hands.
Rich people can survive for a few more days, but for those who don¡¯t have enough money and need money for turnover, it will be difficult.
It was rare that Tang Youbao incited the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to suddenly increase the price, but who knew that Liu Mingqi would backhand and frighten the businessmen of the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to the point where they cried out to lower the price.
In addition to the price of tung oil, Liu Mingqi also tidied up Dong Jian, the general banner of the Embroidery Guard in Xiushan Mansion, in advance.
Dong Jian was originally a very scheming and capable person, and even Tang Youbao was a little afraid of him.
what's the result?
Liu Mingqi used thunderous power as soon as he came up and almost chopped Dong Jian with a knife. He also caught him and tied him to a tree in an inn and whipped him.
How insulting is this to an official?
But instead of breaking out, Dong Jian became completely cowarded and turned into a dog beside Liu Mingqi.
The criminal information and evidence of Chai Hai and Ge Shansi, as well as their family property details, etc., were all given by Dong Jian.
yes.
"In fact, what Dong Jian is really afraid of is not Liu Mingqi, but the power of the empire behind him.
But Tang Youbao couldn¡¯t imagine that this guy could be convinced so easily.
Of course, except for Liu Mingqi, no one dares to so wantonly destroy an Embroidered Guard General Banner. He is a serious member of the fifth-grade forbidden army who is responsible for the task of monitoring the world!
Come back to the front.
You want to say whether Tang Youbao hates Liu Mingqi?
I definitely hate it!
In fact, Tang Youbao never thought that the sky-high price of fifty cents per pound of tung oil would make it possible.
If it were not Liu Mingqi but another person, Tang Youbao would have made a hypocritical protest and asked the Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to lower the price of tung oil from fifty to thirty cents.
But compared with the previous eighteen articles, it has increased by more than 60%.
He also achieved his true purpose.
"It's a pity that Liu Mingqi didn't even have the patience to discuss it with him, so he directly suppressed him, causing the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce to immediately lower the price.
From now on, Tang Youbao¡¯s words will not be very effective - are they afraid of King De and the court, or are they afraid of you as the prefect? If you don't file a complaint, you'll be finished. What's wrong with you?
However, Liu Mingqi unexpectedly handed over all the proceeds from the auction of Chai Hai and Ge Shansi's property to Xiushan Mansion.
After such a big deal, Liu Mingqi himself did not get any benefits, which made Tang Youbao very confused.
When Liu Mingqi called him into the study, he was still wondering if Liu Mingqi was going to let him secretly give him the money.
But Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t do that.
A total of five million taels were all entered into the household department of the government office. Liu Mingqi did not say anything about it after entering.
The first words Tang Youbao heard were, "Prefect Tang, come and take a look at these documents."
A big man behind Liu Mingqi handed a stack of documents to Tang Youbao.
As soon as Tang Youbao took a look, sweat appeared all over his face.
¡°Before, I only knew that someone from the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce was caught, but now it¡¯s his turn.
From four years ago to now, almost 70% to 80% of the facts about his corruption and dereliction of duty have been written on it.
And in many cases, there are also signatures and paintings of some parties involved.
?p;Now Liu Mingqi is just trying to trick Tang Youbao into finishing the matter.
In the future, if he can really meet his own requirements, it is not impossible to recommend him as a "Tung Oil Governor"!
¡°As tung oil plays an increasingly important role in shipping and industrial machinery in the future, it is not an exaggeration to set up a special governor of the third grade.
Isn¡¯t this third-grade governor almost the same as the governor of Sichuan?
After thinking over and over again, Tang Youbao finally boarded the pirate ship: "Your Highness, let me give it a try! Try to meet your requirements!"
"good!"
Liu Mingqi clapped his hands: "Now you should know why I left these five million taels of silver to Xiushan Mansion, right? You can rest assured that the government will provide various supporting support, such as road construction, land reclamation, guidance, etc." Be bold and do it!¡±
Tang Youbao nodded, "If you have sufficient funds, I can try more. But Your Highness, you have to promise me that the order for tung oil must not be less! Once they find that the tung oil is unsaleable, their enthusiasm will be greatly affected!"
Liu Mingqi laughed: "Just do it as hard as you can, and do it on as large a scale as you can! From now on, I will only worry about not having enough tung oil, and I will definitely not worry about it being overpopulated and falling in price!"
The boy was not lying about this. Until modern times, 70% of the world's tung oil is still produced in my country, and demand has always been in short supply, and the price is quite good.
With Liu Mingqi¡¯s assurance, Tang Youbao was completely relieved.
Because Liu Mingqi¡¯s concubine and grandfather¡¯s family are both big merchants in maritime trade.
As long as he keeps giving big orders to those shipyards, the demand for tung oil will be huge, and there is no reason to sell it at a low price.
As for businessmen, the most important thing is how much money they can make.
As long as they can make more money and the government supports them a little bit, these businessmen will definitely start to expand like crazy.
What you have to do is to push hard.
"In this case, I have to ask for His Highness's care!" Tang Youbao stood up and bowed: "Please don't betray me, Your Highness!"
¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t worry!¡±
Liu Mingqi patted his chest and said: "Prefect Tang, as long as you can continue to develop and expand the tung oil industry, you will be a contributor to my great prosperity, and I will never forget your contribution!!"
It is true that Tang Youbao is a corrupt official, but he is also a capable official.
Liu Mingqi has never been afraid that others like money. He is only afraid that that person is greedy for money and a fool. That is called hopeless! !
