Liu Xin made this arrangement out of the need for confidentiality. Liu Xin was not too worried about the research and development and production of military items, because Yinwucheng itself was a military restricted area. Not to mention the aliens with very different appearances, even the Han people were not special.
Without a pass permit, he could not enter the area within a fifty-mile radius of Yinwu. What Liu Xin was really worried about was the confidentiality of civilian items.
A large number of advanced weapons can quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and some technologically advanced civilian items can not only improve production efficiency, but also earn a large amount of real money from abroad. The combination of the two reflects a country
The comprehensive strength. Only when the comprehensive strength is strong can a country truly become a powerful country. Otherwise, no matter how strong the military strength is, without a certain economic foundation to support it, it can only be militaristic.
There must be some knowledgeable people among foreigners. After these people come to the Han Dynasty, if they see the silk, porcelain, paper, and tea of the Han Dynasty, they will inevitably have the idea of stealing these technologies. If foreigners also master these
If technology even develops on this basis, Han products will lose the opportunity to monopolize the market, which will not only be a blow to the economy of the Han Dynasty, but also have a considerable impact on the lives of the Han people.
In order to prevent foreigners from stealing the cutting-edge technology of the Han people, Liu Xin put a lot of thought into it, the most important of which was not to allow foreigners to appear in places where silk, porcelain, paper, tea and other commodities are produced. Now, Liu Xin has been in Mao
A large market was set up in the mausoleum to allow foreign caravans to trade here. Maoling was also the farthest place where foreign caravans could go after entering the Han Dynasty. It was precisely because of this consideration.
Ten days later, the second group of troops moving to Chang'an set off. This group was composed entirely of military generals and their families. The size of the group was much smaller than the first group. At the same time, the city of Xiangyang began to get busy. The third group
A team is already packing their bags.
The third team moving to Chang'an is much larger, including the cabinet, six ministries and Xiangyang Academy. In other words, except for Liu Xin and Jushou, most of the civil officials, military generals and their families will be here.
A group of people moved to Chang'an.
In fact, the things in the Prefectural Mufu have already been packed up, and several special carriages were refurbished by Liu Xin himself. However, Liu Xin did not move to Chang'an with the others. Jushou stayed with him in Xiangyang.
One family.
By this time, everyone already knew that the day Liu Xin arrived in Chang'an would be the day he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. On this matter, Liu Xin had always kept a low profile.
"We will establish another Mingjun at the time of reunification" and never relented. However, the civil servants and generals under him had already taken action, and various persuasive activities had been quietly launched. Liu Xin also knew about these situations, but he neither agreed nor stopped them.
, which actually shows a tacit attitude.
Over the years, as the areas he occupied continued to expand, Liu Xin had increasingly felt that without the status of emperor, it would be much more difficult to control these places. Therefore, this time he did not join forces with Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others.
The purpose of moving to Chang'an together was to give them enough preparation time to do that.
While Liu Xin was leisurely waiting for news from Chang'an, Huang Chengyan suddenly came to ask for an audience and said, "Master Liu, Huang has thought about it a lot and still thinks it would be better for A Chou to go to Chang'an Academy to continue his studies. I hope you will
Show a clear path."
The last time Cai Yue came home from the Prefectural Mufu, he also told him that Xiangyang Academy was going to be moved to Chang'an. However, after Huang Chengyan heard that Xiangyang Academy would still be retained and that only part of it would be moved to Chang'an, Huang Chengyan was not a little worried.
I don’t really want Huang Yueying to go to Chang’an to study. However, until today, I heard that Xiangyang Academy has begun to move. Some of the academy’s senior and outstanding teachers have moved to Chang’an. More importantly, a large number of books in the academy have also been moved.
Already.
As a result, Xiangyang Academy and Chang'an Academy were immediately no longer on the same level. Huang Chengyan was a precious daughter and had high hopes for her since she was a child. Naturally, he wanted her to study in the best academy. So Huang Chengyan became anxious and came here
He met Liu Xin and hoped that Liu Xin could fulfill the business he promised him last time.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, in the eyes of those famous celebrities, businessmen are the most humble profession. Not only are these celebrities unwilling to engage in this profession, they even do not allow their family members and even domestic slaves to engage in this profession. After all, Huang Chengyan is also a conservative Confucian scholar.
, he is not willing to engage in business, or even want the entire Huang family to engage in business. However, with the income from those few acres of land, buying a piece of land and building a house in Chang'an City is simply a fantasy.
For the sake of his daughter and the future of the entire Huang family, Huang Chengyan had better make this difficult decision and take the road of business to revive the Huang family, so he asked Liu Xin for help. Regarding Huang Chengyan's decision, other children of the Huang family
Everyone agrees. Living in this colorful world of Xiangyang, no one knows the benefits of having money.
However, in recent years, due to Liu Xin's emphasis on commerce and the establishment of a Commerce Department in the Ministry of Household Affairs, commerce in Liu Xin's jurisdiction has developed rapidly. Especially after the Silk Road was restarted, caravans from all over the country sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Huang
When Huang Zu was the head of the family, the family did not bother to do business. Now they want to organize a caravan rashly. Naturally, they are confused. They have neither the source of goods nor the talents, so they have to ask Liu Xin's family.
Knowing that Huang Chengyan wanted to organize a Huang family caravan, Liu Xin couldn't help but nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, Liu will definitely support this matter. But trade pays attention to fair competition, and Liu can't give you too much."
For the preferential treatment, I can only promise to allocate three hundred catties of tea to your Huang family every year, and the rest is up to your Huang family."
Tea is still a government-owned commodity and cannot be bought in the market if you have money. Even the tea that Huang Chengyan's family drank was given to them by Cai Jue. Liu Xin immediately allocated 300 kilograms of tea to the Huang family. This support can be said to be
No effort was spared. With these three hundred kilograms of tea, the Huang family could make a fortune in Xiangyang without even organizing a caravan.
Huang Chengyan originally only expected Liu Xin to sell some white porcelain to the Huang family at a discount, which was already very good. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin sold three hundred kilograms of tea. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and said, "Huang has two more pieces."
It’s a matter of mutual request, and I hope you can agree to it.”
Liu Xin was not angry because Huang Chengyan was pushing the envelope, because he knew that Huang Chengyan was a very face-conscious person. If it was not a last resort, he would not even ask him about the supply of goods for the Huang family caravan. Since he spoke, it was because there was something important.
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Sir, please tell me. As long as Liu is within his ability, I will never refuse."
Huang Chengyan said embarrassedly: "Actually, Master Liu had kindly reminded Huang more than a month ago, but Huang was hesitant and missed the opportunity. Now even if he has plenty of money, it is too late to buy a piece of land to build a house in Chang'an City.
Got it
. During this period, the academy was relocated and classes were temporarily suspended. However, Huang couldn’t stop for a few days even if he wanted to. He couldn’t delay Yueying’s studies. Therefore, Huang boldly wanted to ask for your permission to let Yueying stay temporarily.
Stay at your residence for a while."
The Huang family did not have a house in Xiangyang City, but they had two relatives. When Huang Yueying was studying, she either lived in the Prefecture's Mansion or the Prefect's Mansion. This time the academy moved to Chang'an, and Cai Mao was still the prefect of Xiangyang, but it was not before the move.
As a result, the Huang family only had one relative left in Chang'an City.
However, there was one thing Huang Chengyan didn't know. After Liu Xin arrived in Chang'an City, the Liu family would live in the palace. It would be inappropriate for Huang Yueying to live in the Liu family. Huang Chengyan didn't know that Liu Xin would ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
, not because he usually doesn’t pay attention. On the contrary, Huang Chengyan is very concerned about this aspect.
Very sensitive. However, since Liu Xin defeated Dong Zhuo, the voices calling for Liu Xin to be emperor have not stopped, whether from officials or people. Even Sima Hui, Pang Degong and Liu Bei, who are on the opposite side of Liu Xin, have seen it
The removal of Liu Xin is what the people want, and the target is Liu Xin's next generation.
Precisely because all Huang Chengyan heard in his mind was that Liu Xin should be the emperor, so this time, it was Liu Xin's turn to be the emperor, but he had no special feeling, not to mention that this time it was all Liu Xin's cronies, civil and military officials.
It was done in secret, how could outsiders know about it?
Hearing that this was what Huang Chengyan wanted, Liu Xin couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, sir, the house in Chang'an City has been prepared for you. In Liu's opinion, it would be better for your husband and his family to move to Chang'an."
Already."
Chang'an is the future capital. The land and real estate prices there are not too high now, but one day it will become a place where every inch of land is valuable. With Liu Xin and Ma Yun's eyes from later generations, how could they not see this?
A little? So, when wealthy businessmen from all over the country came to Chang'an City to buy land and build houses, Ma Yun also sent people to buy a lot of land in Chang'an City and built a number of houses and shops.
These lands, houses, and shops should all be in the hands of the imperial court like Xiangyang. Naturally, the money can only be earned by the imperial court. Unfortunately, as the treasury is empty, the imperial court cannot spend so much money to build Chang'an City.
These lands can only be packaged and sold to wealthy merchants and gentry from various places.
Not counting Dahan Bank, the women of the Zhou Mufu also ran some other shops. They had a lot of "private money" on hand. They had long discussed buying some properties in Chang'an City, so they took advantage of this east wind and bought
A lot of land and a lot of houses were built. Liu Xin actually had no share in these lands and houses, but Cai Jue had a share. When she heard that Liu Xin advised Cai Yue to make preparations early, she proposed to use her share
Let's allocate a place to the Huang family.
Huang Chengyan said sheepishly: "Then I'd like to thank you, sir. When I have money, I can buy a house and then return it to you."
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "It's not urgent. What is the second thing you want to say?"
