On the morning of January 18th, Jiaqing four years, the emperor sent someone to conduct a free training. After seeing Bai Lian, Xiao Shenyang wrote a poem: "Fifty years of dreams are true, and today thanks the world." Water is full of dragons and grandchildren, and smoke recognizes the back. A person who can write such Zen words before he dies should be a person with a little depth, a little understanding and a little determination. Sharp-eyed sweetness will not let a mediocre person be in the nearest position to himself. In fact, the overall orientation of Little Shenyang should be a politician, an economic bureaucrat, a poet, a scholar, an art connoisseur and a loser in political struggle. In the late Qianlong period, he made outstanding contributions in rectifying the national financial system and managing cultural affairs, especially foreign affairs. He edited a series of books such as Siku Quanshu, Qing Tongzhi and Three Links. And it is said that his contribution is particularly great. Little Shenyang, who was proficient in many languages, actually served as the foreign minister at that time and was responsible for receiving envoys from North Korea, Britain and other countries for many times. Emani once commented on Xiao Shenyang, saying that Xiao Shenyang "maintained his dignity" in the negotiations, "had an amiable attitude and a keen and profound understanding of the issues, and was worthy of being a mature politician". These talents alone are enough to make Gan Long inseparable from him. What's more, there is another talent that the emperor urgently needs in small Shenyang, and that is financial management. In addition to becoming an immortal by studying, he has a wide range of interests and pays attention to interpersonal communication. Little Shenyang has many other "modern qualities", such as the concept of wealth. Traditional scholar-officials in small Shenyang are usually not good at financial management, but small Shenyang has a natural business mind. In traditional society, the concept of wealth is static. When people are rich, the first choice is always to buy land, turn current assets into fixed assets and "bury them safely". On the other hand, Xiao Shenyang understands the great power of cash flow. In front of real estate and cash, he is obviously more interested in cash. In the fifty-seventh year of the Year of the Loong, Xu Wude, the village head, had a conflict with others, asked Xiao Shenyang for help in the lawsuit, and promised to "send sixty hectares of land or twelve thousand pieces of silver" afterwards. After listening to it, Xiao Shenyang clearly stated that "no land, twelve thousand pieces of silver". A small part of his income from corruption and bribery is used to expand real estate, and more is used for various industrial and commercial investments, covering finance, real estate, mining, logistics, medicine, commerce and other industries. He owns 12 pawn shops in Beijing, among which Yongqingdang, Qingyudang, Hengxingdang and Hengju are pawn shops. He also operates printing houses, accounting firms, porcelain shops, pharmacies, antique shops, bow shops, cabinet shops, saddle felt shops, grain shops, hotels, bars, lime kilns and so on. In addition, his family also specially prepared 80 big carriages for transportation. Of course, the returns of these industries are much higher than rents. Even those properties, he chose to rent as much as possible. Later, according to the statistics of property officials, there are 35 rented houses in Little Shenyang alone, "1.0 1 half a room". "Collect 1 268 San Qian rent every year and pay 4,492 rent for 240 projects". It can be said that as long as it is a fast-moving industry, there will be small Shenyang. It is worth mentioning that at that time, the mining industry was risky, complicated in management, large in investment, and slow to get results, and dared not operate, but little Shenyang dared to try. He took a fancy to coal mine, a sunrise industry, and invested heavily in building coal mines in Mentougou and Xiangshan. Of course, small Shenyang's huge family business accumulation and corruption income are relatively large, but his own investment income is not insignificant. Traditional literati are often ashamed to talk about money, but Xiao Shenyang has a strong sense of contract. Before money, his brothers and sisters knew accounting very well, although his closest relatives and friends were unambiguous. His grandfather, Wu You, a college student, borrowed 2000 taels of silver from him. He was worried that grandpa could not pay his debts in time, forcing the old man to take his land title certificate as collateral. "Take the equivalent land title certificate and the agency will pay it back." His great-grandfather's grandson borrowed money from him, and he also lent it with the title deed as collateral. His uncle Ming Bao borrowed 15200 silver from him. He stipulated to pay a little interest every month, plus interest on the principal.
Shortly after Fu Ming's death, Xiao Shenyang did not repay his lifelong debt, but asked his son to replace him with sand cloth. And the monthly interest rate is 7%, plus the interest of 200 Liang owed before, one *** 1200 Liang. Because of his love for money, Xiao Shenyang even worked as an accountant and cashier at home personally: "After He Xiang became the personal assistant of Emperor Qianlong, his business ability was quickly reflected and he quickly gained the attention of Emperor Qianlong. In 4 1 year, he became the minister of the interior. Prior to this, this institution responsible for royal finance often made ends meet. " When the government revenue is insufficient, I rely on the bank of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. "Soon after he took office, he took on a new look, not only making up for the previous deficit, but also showing a surplus. In the forty-third year of Long, the emperor appointed him as the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen. Under his management, this tax suddenly jumped to the top of more than 30 taxes in the country. After two gunshots, Gan Long became more and more impressed with the financial management skills of Xiao Shenyang. The so-called "old welfare". All financial related departments are gradually under the control of Little Shenyang. He has served as Assistant Minister of Accounting, Minister of Accounting and Minister of Interior. " Yi is actually a person who controls housework and turns it into routine, so ministers are not allowed to participate in the discussion. "
