It is the habit of the ancients to eat without talking and sleep without talking. However, the culture of the wine table was also formed in ancient times. Don’t go there thinking that the ancients did not talk at the table. This scene only happened when your family was eating. Entertaining
If the table is full of lifeless people when there are guests, that is not the way to treat guests.
While eating the unique crab crab, Ye An praised the cook's skills.
Chop the raw crab into pieces, boil it with sesame oil and let it cool. Add the herbs, fennel, nuts, peppercorns, water ginger, and pepper into the powder. Add onions, salt, and vinegar, and add a total of ten flavors into the crab and mix well.
It seems that this slightly strange combination immediately gave the delicious river crabs the greatest foil and charm.
What Ye An ate was a feast for the eyes, his mouth was like a crossbow, he kept biting and spitting out the crab shells.
Wang Zeng, who had no appetite at first, couldn't help but start eating and drinking, and Wang Hao was even more unbearable. He had already started his own banquet. There were only three people at the table. He was the least concerned about what Ye An and Wang Zeng were talking about.
That person…………
"Wang Xianggong thinks that longevity is a love of money, or even a greed for money, right? But longevity is not a love of money, but a patriotism! Money is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible without money! What's more, if you take a longer view, money is also a problem.
A kind of power, a kind of power that can overwhelm mountains and force people to hang themselves!"
Ye An's words seemed to make no sense, but Wang Zeng actually understood it. He did not speak, but stared at Ye An and asked him to continue. Wang Zeng was looking forward to Ye An talking about the power of "money".
"The armaments, weapons, soldiers, baggage, food and grass of the country are all inseparable from money. If Ganliang and Ganzhou can be self-sufficient, it will save a lot of manpower, material and financial resources for the country. This is just
One of them, Wang Xianggong, naturally knows about it."
Ye An paused for a moment, then saw Wang Zeng nodded naturally and then said slowly: "The second thing is that one is ebbing and the other is ebbing. When the wealth of the country becomes stronger, the wealth of the surrounding small countries will be out of control."
Wang Xianggong may think it is impossible to flow to the Song Dynasty, but this is the law of wealth. When you are richer, it will be easier to make money, and the same is true for the country. The products of the Song Dynasty sell well all over the country. As long as we continue to
If we do business and don’t do the stupid thing of seclusion, then the foreign countries will not be able to resist. They need our goods, silk, sweaters, ironware, tea, porcelain and many other things that they can’t do without!"
No one understands the laws of economics better than Ye An. Business affairs are a game from beginning to end. It’s just that the two sides of this game are not bloody, but the degree of tragedy is often reflected in invisible places.
.
Wang Zeng put down the chopsticks in his hand, while Wang Hao next to him was stuck on a fish bone. He kept coughing to clear his throat and walked away quickly.
"Are you going to turn my Song Dynasty's trade into a weapon to weaken the party members?"
Ye An smiled: "This is only the second point, there is also the third point! This third point is the most fatal, it is also an invisible and intangible killing move, and it has the effect of attacking the enemy!"
"Speak quickly, my dear nephew!" Wang Zeng was a little surprised. Ye An said the first two points very well, but he didn't expect there was a third point, which was beyond his expectation.
Ye An picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said: "The goods produced by our country are huge in quantity and can be made quickly. In this way, they can be dumped to other countries at a lower price. Over time, the prices of the goods they produce will be higher than ours."
The price of goods in the Song Dynasty is more expensive, so will they still produce their own goods? But in their eyes, we are fools, actually selling goods at such a low price for them to use, but in fact we are killing them invisibly
They have lost their own workshops, making it impossible for them to make what they need! You may not see the effect in one or two years, but the accumulation in five or ten years is astonishing."
Wang Zeng swallowed his saliva. Of course he understood what Ye An meant. No wonder he was frantically recruiting shareholders to invest money in his Puhui business during this period. This was to create a bigger Puhui business in Ganliang.
Huishang is here!
Not to mention how much money Puhui Company can make every year, there are countless commodities dumped to Dangxiang and the Western Regions alone. Ganliang is right on the northwest border, so of course the freight is greatly reduced.
Those who say that it costs the same to transport raw materials to the northwest are fools. Can the price of transporting finished products and transporting the required materials be the same?!
What's more, Puhui Company has its own fleet of carriages and horses, so what does Ping An Trading Company do? Isn't it just to escort goods? In this way, Ping An Trading Company will also be revitalized...
Wang Zeng looked at Ye An with a strange expression at this time. After a long time, he sighed: "Immortality! Sometimes I really admire your ideas. They seem to be wild and unconstrained, but they are down-to-earth and can always hit the target with weird and tricky ways.
ah!"
Ye An smiled shyly. It really made him blush when others praised him in this way. These were not his own things, but experiences borrowed from "descendants".
Economic war is the most traumatic, otherwise some countries in later generations will not wave the "sanction stick" at every turn.
But Wang Zeng still didn't see something deeper, and Ye An didn't intend to say it. It involved the stability of the dynasty, and to a certain extent, it even had the power to subvert a dynasty.
This was a taboo in the Song Dynasty. If a husband like Wang Zeng knew about it, he would definitely be wary of himself.
Being cautious is Ye An's principle in doing things, and he does not want to be labeled as a "rebellious talent".
The purpose of Wang Zeng's visit to Ye An was very simple. He wanted to understand Ye An's actions after going to Ganliang Land. From the beginning, he planned to support Ye An, especially his younger brother who insisted on investing money in Puhui Company.
Later, Wang Zeng became more certain about his thoughts.
Of course, Ye An needs the support of the court, and in Wang Zeng's view, supporting Ye An is not necessarily a bad thing. At the wine table, the old man and the young man opened their hearts, but neither party revealed all the information to the other party.
The meal at the Wang family was quite good. At least Ye An got to eat a lot of food he had never tasted before, including river delicacies, pigs and sheep, and even the Sichuan specialty delicacy "Sichuan rice."
After eating and drinking, and talking about things, Wang Zeng finally smiled and said to Ye An after drinking tea: "You were going to the northwest, so you rushed to help Fan Xiwen, right? I can see your plan, but for
The two states of Ganliang would rather demote themselves and go abroad. You are considered a loyal person to the country. I will naturally not point it out. If there is any trouble in the court, I will also cover it for you. It is better to be careful when going to the northwest. Do not make enemies with the party.
!”
"Don't worry, prince, the affairs of the country and the dynasty are as important as Mount Tai. Changsheng dare not be reckless!" Ye An knew that Wang Zeng meant to invite him to dinner. It was more to explain to him not to conflict with the party members. After all, he had a good reputation and had already
He became the reincarnation of Wu Qu in the Song Dynasty, the devil general among Dangxiang people...
But who can know his helplessness?! At this time, he just wanted to shout to everyone: I am a scholar!
After all, literary talent is not easy to come by. Who would easily turn the literary talent of the Song Dynasty into a military position? Even if it leaves such an impression on others, it is not good. Ye An has always stood in the ranks of civil servants, and now he has finally been
