"Zhuge Xuan?" Duan Ye narrowed his eyes and the impression of the sharp-mouthed monkey cheek appeared in his mind.
"Sir, I told you that Zhuge Xuan asked for surrender at that time, and he had a great power. For the time being, we also have some useful places in the Western Regions, so we accepted his surrender. Now his identity is
There are many wealthy businessmen in the Western Regions, and it is said that they have taken all the underground forces and shops of Lu Guang in the Western Regions for themselves, and they live a very comfortable life."
"But, haven't he been in Shanshan all the time?" Duan Ye said in confusion.
Jiang Yu shook his head, "Now, Zhuge Xuan is always surrounded by people wherever he goes, and he is also very careful to protect himself. Moreover, this person has also done intelligence work. We want to detect his information. To be honest, he is very
We don't know many things yet."
"Yeah," Duan Ye nodded, tapped the table gently with his hand, and suddenly asked, "Is this Zhuge Xuan very rich?"
"Yes," Jiang Yu asked strangely, "The place in Shanshan is very rich. If a treacherous person like Zhuge Xuan goes, won't he get rich?"
"Well, I'm good at sending it," Duan Ye said, "Anyway, the more money he earns, the better it is. Can the eggs in the basket run away?"
Jiang Yu glanced at Duan Ye with contempt and stopped talking. Duan Ye's meaning was nothing more than Zhuge Xuan's earning too much money, and he became this place in the future. That was equivalent to making wedding clothes for others.
...
To Duan Ye's surprise, Murong Nong, who should have left after he made his statement, actually asked for a meeting again. This time, it was not a public identity, but a private identity.
Duan Ye, who was a little confused, held a small family banquet in the mansion to host Murong Nong and let the Tufa Ling accompany him.
The Tufa family and the Murong family were actually Xianbei people and had contacts with each other. And the relationship between the direct descendants, of course, they also knew Duan Ye and Tufa Ling, which everyone in the world knew, so Murong Nong
It is not surprising to see the bald spirit entertain him in the posture of a hostess
However, the inner sense of happiness and satisfaction made Murong Nong admire Duan Ye.
In fact, there have been rumors in the market that Duan Ye is the leader of the romantic man, and there are many romantic men in the world. Originally, people like Murong Nong were also a person; they just thought Duan Ye might be lustful. After all, these wealthy families, or one side
The Lord, there is definitely no shortage of women, and Murong Nong doesn't think there is anything
But when I looked at it today, I realized that at least, Murong Nong's own woman would never look like the bald spirit looking at Duan Ye.
That is really affection, not pleasing, flattering, etc. other expressions
Murong Nong couldn't help but feel more confident
After the greetings, Duan Ye raised his glass and said, "I don't respect merely a side dish. Brother Murong, please!"
"please!"
After the two of them toast, Duan Ye said, "The wise man doesn't say secret words. This time, Brother Murong saw Duan, what was wrong? Whether it was a business or a private matter, it can be said that Duan Ye cannot guarantee that he can.
Do it to satisfy you, but you will always do your best”
Murong Nong put down his wine glass, nodded, and said, "Mr. Duan is so happy. This... Murong Nong comes today, first of all, he wants to say goodbye to Lord. Murong Nong is preparing to set off tomorrow."
"Oh?" Duan Ye said, playing with the wine glass, "So anxious?"
Murong Nong nodded and said, "I believe that adults also know that now the Central Plains is in the smoke of war again. Hahaha, although Murong Nong is not talented, he is still considered a filial son. It is still safe to return to his father."
"That's right?" Duan Ye sighed, "Why do you have to fight all day long? I'm good at Liangzhou, peace, hehe."
Murong Nong nodded enviously and said, "In the past few days, Murong Nong, accompanied by Lord Liu, looked at Guzang carefully. He admired Lord Duan, Lord Liu, Lord Liu, and the officials and people around Liangzhou.
Now Liangzhou is really a perfect place to pick up the roads and keep the doors closed at night. The city is neat and clean, with business and travelers gathering, and the people are happy to work. Murong Nong has only seen these in the books of sages, but he did not expect that he could still see them in Liangzhou with his own eyes.
Lord Duan is such a genius.”
What Murong Nong didn't say was that he was actually very shocked by Duan Ye's abolishing the policy of corvee labor and storing the resident to earn acres, because doing so completely exceeded his own understanding. Many things he took for granted were actually said to be abolished.
It will be ruined
Murong Nong himself, for the time being, can't understand why Duan Ye did this, but Murong Nong understood it. These days, he visited Liangzhou and found that the people must be very supportive of these policies. After all, there is no need to pay the cap tax or not.
It must be a good thing to do corvee, but the officials and gentry didn't object very much, and they didn't even complain. This made Murong Nong shocked Murong Nong had already written this matter into a letter and sent it back to Yecheng's father's place at night.
Duan Ye was humble in his mouth, but he cursed in his heart, "You old boy, have always been picking key places to look at them, and the places you ask are all joints. I want to steal the teacher and want to lay eyeliner here, but when we can't see it."
Is it?
However, if you can learn my skills like this, it would be too underestimated to our thousands of years of wisdom
The two of them praised each other for a few more words, and Murong Nong asked, "I don't know what I think about the situation in the Central Plains?"
"This time, Tuoba Gui is not Fu Rui's opponent," Duan Ye said directly
"How can I see it?"
"The long-distance attack without any supply from the rear is not good. Although the cavalry of Tuoba tribe is brave, Lu Guang or Deng Qiang had defeated them back then, and the cavalry was not unsolvable. The second one is the last one.
I think there are many people who don’t want Fu Rui to disappear from Henan, so in a short period of time, Fu Rui will definitely be like a nail, firmly pierced in Henan.”
Duan Ye's last sentence, although he said slowly, was full of unquestionable firmness, which moved Murong Nong.
It seems that Duan Ye really hopes to continue to maintain balance of power. Just like Rouer said, Murong Nong said in his heart
And the time spent together these days made Murong Nong really look at Duan Ye with admiration. Now Murong Nong absolutely does not doubt Duan Ye's strength. He is even very proud of him and is willing to admit that Duan Ye is really better than him.
Duan Ye said, "Brother Murong, I heard that a gold mine has been discovered recently in your place?"
"Yes," Murong Nong nodded. The news was not secret. Duan Ye knew it, it was not surprising that
"Well" Duan Ye touched his chin and said, "You know that the environment in Liangzhou is relatively rich, and he likes to talk about pomp. Duan Ye used to think that it was better to be simple, but this was an official
Yes, if you are not luxurious, people still think you are not capable. Anyway, Duan is not short of money now, so he decided to talk about this show. There are many other jewelry and jade wares in the Western Regions, but Duan Ye wants to build a batch of goldware recently.
I want to purchase goods from the gold mine you newly opened in Qingzhou, what do you think?"
"Ah?" Murong Nong opened his mouth wide
He was completely unprepared for this matter and didn't even understand it very well. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Duan Ye. After all, Murong Nong is a good player in leading troops to fight. He is not bad at managing politics, but for business
He really doesn't understand the matter
But thinking again, my father currently controls war horses, iron tools, silk, and salt, especially salt and iron. My father Murong Chui followed the methods of Emperor Wu of Han in the past and adopted a franchise system. The annual income of Changlu Salt Field is almost the same as that of the year.
There are more copper mines than taxes, so they are naturally controlled. It is necessary to build weapons and make copper coins.
My father hasn't taken care of this gold mine yet
Because in this era, there are mainly two currencies in the world, one is copper coins and the other is silk. Copper coins are easy to make, silk can be carried in large quantities, while gold and silver are mainly luxury goods and decorations, which have not yet become currency.
But Duan Ye deeply knows that before he can make banknotes, the value of gold and silver is the most trustworthy, and their currency value will be discovered sooner or later.
Just say that the sayings of antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times have spread among some gentry clans. If you hold gold, you can also exchange copper coins. The only difference that you can sell at a high price is that you hold gold now and cannot be directly
When buying things, you can already change them to the east and west, and the value is quite stable. Isn’t this a precursor to becoming a currency?
Since Duan Ye knows the trend of history, he naturally has reason to follow the trend and promote historical progress.
Since the monetization of gold is inevitable, it means that the gold standard will come sooner or later. At that time, whoever has gold will become a winner.
The reason given by Duan Ye, Murong Nong always felt that it was a bit mysterious.
Just talking about Duan Ye's room, it looks a bit simpler, but Murong Nong himself doesn't like these extravagant things. His father Murong Chui's life is even simpler. In his opinion, there is nothing wrong with keeping it simple.
But Liangzhou likes to talk about pomp, which is not bad. This time Murong Nong also visited several big families in Liangzhou. But he didn't know if he didn't go there. When he saw that his home was almost like a palace, even older than Yecheng.
The palace is not much better
Moreover, Duan Ye's business-oriented policy makes merchants rich and wealthy, and ordinary residents also admire wealth very much. Murong Nong really doesn't know if this is right since he arrived in Liangzhou, Murong Nong has been often confused.
The fact is that Duan Ye’s career is booming. Now that he has opened a vocational college, Murong Nong has intuition something wrong.
