Shopkeeper Wei's heart was bleeding, he asked for one hundred thousand taels of silver, but if he wanted to escape from confinement, Prince Yan was the most suitable candidate for cooperation.
If you try to find another relationship in a roundabout way, you may spend money and the goods will be detained, and you will lose money by then.
If you cooperate with the Crown Prince, you shouldn't have to worry about this aspect.
However, he also knew that he should not agree too easily, so he pretended to be deep in thought.
Seeing his hesitation, Yang Jie on the side leaned forward and whispered: "Shop Manager Wei, please take a longer view. If the cooperation is successful this time, we can continue to cooperate for a long time in the future. As long as we get on the line with His Highness, the money will not be the same in the future."
Earn money like water."
Shopkeeper Wei had nothing to hesitate at this moment, and immediately handed over his hand: "According to what His Royal Highness the Prince said, we can divide it into 40 and 60, but this batch of tobacco leaves has been dried and needs to be transported to the grassland as soon as possible. If it gets damp, the value will be
It will be greatly reduced."
Lu Jingke laughed: "Shopkeeper Wei can arrange for the goods to be on the road immediately. I will send people to Youzhou to open up connections. I will write another handwritten letter. Then I can go out of the customs smoothly just by relying on the handwritten letter."
Shopkeeper Wei saw that Lu Jingke was so cheerful and said happily: "Your Highness, I will leave other matters to the villain to take care of it. I will not disappoint Your Highness."
Lu Jingke raised the tea cup in his hand: "In that case, I will replace the wine with tea and wish Shopkeeper Wei a smooth trip and great financial resources."
Shopkeeper Wei quickly raised his glass: "Thank you, Your Highness, I've done it."
After seeing off shopkeeper Wei, Lu Jingke still felt uncontrollably excited. Once this was done, more than 600,000 taels of silver would be credited to his account.
Even for my father, it is not that easy to earn 600,000 taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Wei, after receiving a positive reply, also started to prepare to leave. Since His Highness the Crown Prince was the guarantor, he simply brought some personal goods, not much, and got an extra cart of other goods and transported them to the grassland.
Not to mention earning back the one hundred thousand taels, it would be nice to earn tens of thousands taels.
Even if there is a little bit of involvement, His Highness the Crown Prince probably won't care if it is found out.
At worst, he gets 60% of the profit from the entrained goods.
Not to mention the two people who were both happy, Yang Xuan was also overjoyed after receiving the report. He didn't expect that the Prince Yan would be tricked so easily.
In the palace of Prince Hui, Prince Hui and His Royal Highness Prince Chun were so happy that they drank three cups in a row when they heard the news.
"Mr. Yang is indeed very resourceful, but anyone who is targeted by you will definitely not be able to escape."
Yang Xuan rolled his eyes: "Why don't I hear Brother Lu's words as if he is praising me?"
Prince Hui joked: "I am praising you. I testify that Chenghong is praising you."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Then what should we do next?"
"There is no need to do anything." Yang Xuan said: "Profit is the best motivation. We will wait until their cooperation is completed this time and His Royal Highness sees the money."
"Mr. Yang, why bother to titillate people? You might as well reveal a little bit." His Highness Prince Chun looked excited.
"The plan can't keep up with the changes. I can only walk on foot. I can only say that if everything goes well, a trip to the grassland will only take three or two months. Then Hu Shang will not be able to come back in three or two months, and the trade route has been opened
Well, they will naturally have another cooperation, and what kind of goods can they transport there then? "
Prince Hui said: "It is not easy to go back and forth from Yingtian Mansion to the grassland. It must be transporting highly profitable goods."
"Then what kind of goods have the highest profit?"
His Royal Highness Prince Chun asked, then looked at Prince Hui and Yang Xuan, and the three of them said in unison: "Tea leaves."
The grassland people do not engage in farming and lack vegetables. Their food is mainly meat. But if they eat too much meat, they have too much fat, so they need tea to remove the fat.
However, tea is strictly controlled by the imperial court, especially for the northern wolf tribe, so compared to tobacco, tea is more indispensable to them.
Driven by profit, they are likely to take desperate risks.
Of course, this may not be risky for Prince Yan.
Therefore, tea that is both profitable and risk-free is basically their first choice.
"But what if they don't choose tea?"
Yang Xuan winked and said, "They will definitely choose."
"Why?"
"Because Shopkeeper Wei came out of customs this time. In addition to tobacco leaves, he also brought private goods. Among the private goods, there was tea."
"Shopkeeper Wei hasn't set out yet, how did you find out?"
"There is one of my people among Shopkeeper Wei's clerks." Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Otherwise, how could Shang Hu have sold the tobacco leaves to him by such a coincidence?"
The two men's eyes changed when they looked at Yang Xuan. Did this guy plan so far? One step counts as ten steps?
At the age of seventeen, the title of genius does not seem to be enough to show his talent. He is simply a monster.
According to Yang Xuan, the next step is to wait for the results. Too much intervention will easily reveal flaws.
…
A few days later, the imperial court issued a new decree to promote the universalization of compulsory education in Yingtian Mansion. All school-age children, regardless of gender, could attend school for free.
The entire Yingtian Prefecture is composed of Jiangning County and Shangyuan County. According to the population, there are eight compulsory schools, of which only two are funded by the imperial court.
The other six schools are all privately funded, and Shengfa Company funded two schools in one go.
This funding to build a school is not just about building a house, but also responsible for all future expenses, including teachers' salaries.
As soon as this incident came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion in the entire Yingtian Mansion.
In the past, ordinary people who wanted to educate their children had teachers, but a large number of people could not even afford the education of teachers.
Not to mention anything else, even Yang Xuan's eldest brother, as a county government servant, wanted his daughter Xuanxuan to study, so the whole family had to live frugally.
And now, it's free.
Although it is just enlightenment, it is still much better than not being able to read Chinese characters.
Coupled with reports from Shengbao, this law was explained in detail.
Ever since, all the people in Yingtian Mansion were talking about this matter.
Anyone with school-age children at home signed up.
For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor sent people to the Yang Mansion to announce the decree as a reward.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were collectively confused.
Last month, he issued an order to reprimand, and the people from the Police Department surrounded the Yang Mansion. This month, he issued an order to commend him?
Grand Master Feng is still claiming to be ill at home and has not been to court for more than a month.
Then everyone understood, and those who originally wanted to find trouble with Yang Xuan stopped.
Yang Xuan, a cabinet scholar, is in the heart of the emperor.
However, Grand Master Feng couldn't bear to take such a breath, and immediately wrote a letter saying that he was old and frail and could no longer bear the heavy responsibility, so he wanted to retire and return home.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Grand Master Feng is retreating in order to advance. Grand Master Feng has students all over the world, and his son is currently the Minister of Civil Affairs. It can be said that half of the civil servants in the entire court have a close relationship with him.
Grand Master Feng's move immediately caused an uproar in the court.
