What does salt mean?
Of course, Liu An knew the word "salt". Liu An also knew what salt represents, but what does the salt represented by Kou Zhun mean?
Seeing Liu An thinking, Kou Zhun pointed out: "Liao, the salt of the five capitals."
In an instant, Liu An realized.
Liu An said: "There are records in the classics that the Liao Kingdom allows private salt to be collected, but non-official salt sales are not allowed. I will arrange for people to go to the Liao Kingdom to smuggle salt?"
"right."
Kou Zhun was very satisfied with Liu An's wisdom. It was impossible for many people to think of this.
Liu An really shivered this time: "Grandpa Kou, this matter will be beheaded."
The law of the Song Dynasty is also a standard, killing.
Without official documents, who dares to stick to salt in this business?
Kou Zhun smiled, lit up Liu An's chest twice, and stopped explaining.
Kou Zhun believed that if Liu An couldn't even understand this, Liu An's level would have reached the upper limit.
Liu An stood there in a daze, but Kou Zhun had already turned around and walked towards the carriage.
Liu An's head was a little confused.
Liu An originally didn't want to stick to salt, and he didn't even want to touch it.
Liu An knew history. In the early days of the Song Dynasty, salt profit was 10 million yuan, and by the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, it reached 40 million yuan. Although the Song Dynasty was rich, ordinary people often could not eat salt.
As for the poor!
There were no poor people in the Song Dynasty, because the refugees who lost their land followed the Song Taizu's method and forced them to be recruited into the army.
It turns into a soldier.
Whose cake is salt?
Do you dare to touch it?
Liu An was a little confused, but when he turned to ask Kou Zhun, he found that Kou Zhun had left. Looking back, Kou Zhun's carriage had gone far away.
This is a bit pitfall.
Liu An gently patted his face that was a little coldly blown by the wind, turned his head and ordered: "Go home."
On the way, Liu An felt that his brain was salty.
Salt, private salt.
How to do this?
The first thing Liu An thought of was to buy private salt from Liao Kingdom and then damage the finances of Liao Kingdom.
Secondly, private salt dealers are profitable, so they buy arms for them themselves. If the Liao Kingdom dares to deal with them, private salt dealers will fight to the death.
However, these two are long-term strategies and are difficult to exert their power in a short period of time.
According to the current situation, the battle between the Song and Liao dynasties will start at six months at a short time and nine months at a long time. There is time to do this.
What is Kou Zhun thinking?
What is Kou Zhun thinking?
In fact, Kou Zhun was thinking about long-term strategies. Kou Zhun had never thought that Song could destroy Liao, so he was thinking about suppressing the development of the Liao people and messing up the Liao people, so Song could protect himself.
Of course, all this is based on the premise of obtaining the Great Wall defense line.
In a word, what Kou Zhun thinks is long-term defense.
When Liu An returned home, his head was full of salt.
Pan Ziling had just arrived home, and she was attending the banquet of the ladies.
When he saw Liu An, Pan Ziling's hidden excitement for the whole day finally had a place to vent. He took Liu An's hand and walked into the house: "Official, you can't guess that my mother's expression on her face after seeing the cucumber."
Liu An asked back: "Didn't your mother get angry?"
Pan Ziling smiled like a cute little fox: "Of course I got angry, and I was still very angry. However, no one knew how there would be cucumbers in winter. Only the most reliable servants in our vegetable shed knew where there were, and the most reliable servants and farmers were guarding around."
"Ten cucumbers are always worth a lot!" Pan Ziling smiled happily: "But, I still don't want to."
"And, there is. The crystal salt lamp, the Grand Empress and the Queen, are well used by them. Many people come to ask for it. This time I listened to you and did not give it to anyone, but exchanged a lot of money."
After hearing this, Liu An said, "It's enough to have similar human feelings, no matter how many there are, it's useless. Sometimes people are tied together with common interests, and human feelings always have a limit. Look at Wang Qinruo, how glorious Wang Qinruo, but no one gave him away when he was exiled. If he is favored and life are heavier."
"But the interests are different. If Wang Qinruo was exiled and half of the property of the officials in Bianliang City were reduced, would anyone come out to protect them?"
Pan Ziling didn't understand, and Liu An didn't explain anymore.
Pan Ziling was very happy to tell Liu An about the fun of fighting with her mother Princess Cheng'an after she returned home.
Great victory.
I squeezed a lot of money back.
Liu An was amused when he heard this: "Madam, I'll tell you a story."
"kindness."
"In the past, there were two big merchants, one of whom owed the other several thousand guan. The young merchant proposed to marry another merchant's daughter as his wife, and the money owed could be reduced, and the merchant agreed. Then the two got married..."
Before Liu An finished speaking, Pan Ziling said: "What's the use of this? After getting married, I'm afraid that the first thing the bride from that family will do is to collect debts when she returns to the door!"
"Ah!" Liu An was shocked.
Pan Ziling looked indifferent, but she thought this was the normal development.
Indeed, this was the original ending of this story. On the second day of the wedding, the bride asked her man how much money her father owed, and then went to collect the debt.
This is a joke from later generations.
Pan Ziling said: "Of course I have to ask for it. If I don't ask for it back, the loss will be huge. In the end, I don't know who the money will be."
Liu An nodded with a smile.
That's right.
This is how the Song Dynasty was. If there are many children in the family, the distribution of property has always been a major conflict among the wealthy families.
The Pan family's property is divided into family property, family property, and real estate.
This property is the current public property of the Pan family, and the property is the property of each house. For example, Pan Ziling belongs to the eldest daughter of the fifth house of the Pan family, while Pan Ziling is still in his brother, younger brother, and younger sister.
In the Song Dynasty, the division between legitimate and illegitimate are not so detailed.
Where is Liu's mansion.
Liu Lang's property is nothing to do with Liu An, and Liu An has already established his own business. However, in Liu Lang's store, because Liu An invested again, there was a share of Liu An.
Therefore, the property of the Liu Mansion is commercial and domestic property. There is no separate house or private property of each house.
While talking to Liu An about interesting things about his return home, Pan Ziling reported Liu An's property.
"Officials, our parents have saved enough money for three years. Not counting the money they have invested, but they have already used 50,000 jin at any time." After hearing this, Liu An's first reaction was: "Add pocket money?"
"No..." As soon as she refused, Pan Ziling felt that she was not very kind, so she immediately changed her words: "Then add a little, add 300 quotas per month, which is already a lot, and it's enough to add 10%."
"Thank you, Madam."
Pocket money.
Liu An is no longer concerned, but this is a matter of face.
Although Liu An basically doesn't spend money, he doesn't spend money on necessary treats and socializing, and these accounts that do not spend money on pocket money, and food and clothing are also not pocket money.
