Taishan Goat family welcomed a distinguished guest: the newly appointed governor of Yanzhou Zhong Yu...
Yanzhou was originally in Linqiu. Recently, due to the war, the provincial government temporarily moved to Dingtao in order to support Suiyang's general Sima Yi in time. It took a long time to travel from Dingtao to Nanyang. Zhong Yu took office,
I rushed to Nancheng first, so there were naturally no choice.
The market chaos in Qingzhou and Jizhou has gradually spread to Yanzhou, Taishan, Jibei, Dongping and other counties, and Jiyin and Chenliu are no exception. Especially in Chenliu's silk market, local silk fabric production due to the war.
I was already in trouble, but was hit by raw silk from other places. The families who operate silk products suffered heavy losses, and many workshops have been closed.
For Yanzhou Governor Zhong Min, if you want to stabilize people's livelihood, you must first stabilize the market, otherwise no matter how hard you make, it will be a drop in the bucket.
The raw silk that hit Chenliu was not from other places, but from Qingzhou and Taishan in Yanzhou. Of course, it also includes Peiguo in Yuzhou and Pengcheng in Xuzhou. These places are densely populated, with county boundaries and state boundaries intertwined, often a hundred miles away.
One county, even one county, the governors of each prefecture and the prefect of each county all need political achievements, so it is very difficult to manage. As the governor of Yanzhou, Zhong Yu could only take action against his subordinate Taishan County first.
The first company he visited was the Yang Family in Nancheng. Because the Yang Family is the biggest business in Taishan County now. Almost 30% of the raw silk sold by Chenliu were resold by the Yang Family, but the reason why the Yang Family can be at a low price
The reason why they impacted Chenliu's raw silk market was that they made a lot of money through the rice trading business.
Their rice comes from the sea, with a large quantity and low price. For the people of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and even Jizhou who have been damaged by years of war, selling the wheat they grow and buying the rice from the Yang family can not only ensure food, but also
Can make a small profit.
Of course, the Yang family is not stupid. The condition for doing this is to sell all the cocoons to him. The price is very fair and it is definitely the market price. Ordinary people have no awareness. Since they are not at a loss, they still have a little bit of flies.
Why not do small profits?
The result of this is that the Yang family has a large amount of raw silk resources, so he can control the market price and make profits from it.
Everyone knows that the rice sold by the Yang family is Jiaozhou rice, and their supplier is located on an island overseas in Qu County. It is now called Mijiajia, which is controlled by the Han army navy. Jiaozhou is said to be mature three times a year and has fertile land.
, Yuzhao is also good. After learning the farming techniques of the people of the Central Plains, it is now a real home for fish and rice. A large amount of rice is exported, and only a part of it is dumped into Qingzhou and Yanzhou. Those who can get a share of it have made a fortune.
Yangfa received Zhong Yu, and his attitude was very respectful, but the negotiations were not going well. Yangfa only asked Zhong Yu one sentence: The Central Plains have been in war for many years, and the people are not covered in food. It is a recognized solution to buy rice from other places to alleviate the food crisis.
One of them, even the Luoyang Palace is eating rice from Jiaozhou, so what's wrong with me doing this business? As for making money, it's natural. There are hundreds of people from all over the world in my Yang family, so I can't stop eating.
As for raw silk, if you think I have disrupted the market, it will be easy. I will not sell it in Chenliu. I will sell it to Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. To be honest, I will make more money by selling it to overseas Hu merchants.
There is no need to go in person. As long as the news is heard, a Hu merchant will come to buy it immediately, saving all the shipping costs.
Zhong Yu was also a little helpless. After fighting for so many years, Wei State's economy was in short supply and no longer had much strength to regulate the market. Nowadays, the only way is to use powerful means of government and force control. But in this way, I'm afraid these things will be taken.
The aristocratic family offended all. The Zhong family was also a great family in Yingchuan. The Zhong family was secretly doing business with merchants from Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. He could not have known this.
Aristocratic families are also people. They talk about benevolence and righteousness in order to be famous, be an official, and become famous, but ultimately, it is to seek profit. Seizing people's wealth is equivalent to digging people's ancestral graves. Zhong Yu, a child of aristocratic families, is not
Maybe he didn't know this, but as an official of the court, he had to curb this plunder without gunpowder.
There is not a harmonious relationship between the aristocratic families. If the Taishan family is not controlled, what should we do with the interests of the Chenliu family?
"The general is facing the enemy in Suiyang, and needs the support of Chenliu and Jiyin families. The Yang family has a marriage agreement with the General, and I think they will share the worries of the general. The Chenliu family also has many connections with the Yang family.
.Yang Jun, a gentleman loves money and takes it well. If profits hurt righteousness, then that would be bad? The Yang family is also a family of etiquette and righteousness. Yang Gong hangs fish and is a role model for all ages. I believe that it will not be small for a little bit of a fly.
Benefits hurt integrity. Lingzun is also an official of the court, and Mu Shushou, think about it, what should he do if he encounters this situation? The same reason is true, and the same heart is true. Please understand me by Yang Jun
When I first arrived in Yanzhou, everything was difficult, so I gave in a little bit of a step."
Yang Hai smiled, Zhong Yu used both soft and hard work, not only brought out his grandfather Yang Xu, but also threatened him with his father Yang Hui, who was the prefect of Shangdang. He could not help but express his opinion.
"Since you have traveled thousands of miles to visit your humble house, how can you not be moved by it? Let's not do this business in Yanzhou, but if someone wants to slander my Yang family, you will also ask you to speak up and uphold justice.
.”
Zhong Yu smiled bitterly. He knew that because of the Cai family, the Yang family had been incompatible with the Qingzhou governor Wang Ling. Yang Fa stopped from Yanzhou and probably had to concentrate his efforts to attack Wang Ling. The Yang family gave him face, but he could not refuse.
If the sheep return favors, they will inevitably say a few good things for him. Otherwise, they will be criticized.
“That’s natural.”
After seeing Zhong Yu off, Yang Shi returned to the backyard and reported the matter to Mrs. Cai. After hearing this, Mrs. Cai agreed with Yang Fa's decision. The people did not fight with the officials. No matter how powerful the Yang family is, it is still the people, which is annoying.
With Zhong Yu, the Yang family has no good results. It is better to sell Zhong Yu for a favor, and he will have a helper when fighting with Wang Ling in the future.
"Contact your uncle to see how many raw silks they have there, and collect them together." Mrs. Cai said lightly: "Let them taste the sweetness of export, don't always look at Luoyang."
"Here." Yang Fa bowed and stepped out. When he walked to the door, he remembered another thing: "Mother, the general once said that he would marry his sister to the door in May this year, this matter..."
Mrs. Cai frowned and was a little worried. First, the Yang family was not optimistic about Cao Wei, and always felt that the sunset was setting and the country would not last forever. Second, she was not optimistic about the Sima family. Sima Shi was heartless and merciless, and Yang Huiyu would not marry him.
The good result is secondly. The father and son are now authoritative, and they have the intention of being a strong minister to overthrow the lord. If this is a mistake, it will be a serious crime to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. The family gets married to each other for the sake of joining forces, but there is no need to win.
With the situation of grasping, such powerful ministers often climb high and fall badly. The powerful ministers who have always been domineering have no good ending in the end. After all, there are a few who can usurp the throne like the Cao family.
"Spring is here. After some days, let's go for a walk." Mrs. Cai suddenly said in a daze.
The sheep blinked and understood it.
...
Luoyang, General Cavalry Mansion.
Cao Hong struggled to squeeze into the wide chair and frowned: "It's too small, uncomfortable."
Xiahou Mao couldn't help laughing, and pointed at Cao Hong's stomach with the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I said, uncle, if you don't see how big your belly is, you have asked you to eat less, but you just don't believe it now, even the biggest one
I can’t even sit on the chair. Otherwise, you might as well sit down on your knees.”
"That's not possible, my legs can't stand it." Cao Hong's white eyebrows raised: "It seems that my daughter has to remake a special set of furniture for me. It must be designed separately to adapt to the body of my husband like this.
of."
Xiahou Mao was speechless, Cao Hong was a bit showing off. The new tables and chairs from Jingzhou started at 10 gold. Cao Hong's set is high-end goods, at least fifty gold, almost all the property of ordinary people. He actually still
If you are not satisfied, you need to customize it. Of course, there are also customizations. Specialists come to measure the size, use ordinary wood to make samples, and then modify the final draft. Finally, you can use precious wood from Jiaozhou to truly create it. The process is nearly half a year, and the cost is even more amazing.
, Doubling is a little bit of a matter of being a little bit. Cao Hong is now rich, not only needs to customize the version, but also wants his daughter to come forward to help him contact the best craftsmen to customize it. This is a naked show-off.
There is no way, who made his daughter now Guan Xing’s wife? They have this capital.
Cao Hong glanced at Xiahou Mao and his vanity was greatly satisfied. Rich and idle people like them who had no chance to fight for power and profit in the court were now the only fun of competing for money. The war outside was full of blood.
The people are so hungry that they sell their children and daughters, it has nothing to do with them. They still enjoy the same thing. All kinds of luxury goods from Jiaozhou are just as popular. Close the Luoyang city gate, and there are two worlds inside and outside.
"Zi Lin, I'll show you something good." Cao Hong waved his hand and asked someone to take a crystal jar. When he opened the lid, a strong smell of fish came out. Xiahou Mao hurriedly shrank backwards and covered him.
Keep your mouth and nose: "What is this, so fishy?"
"You know what a big deal." Cao Hong dug a little with his finger and sent it to his mouth: "This is the oil of a giant fish in the deep sea. Eating it can soften blood vessels and reduce the risk of stroke. Eat this little every day and practice with you for a day.
The effect of cloud hands is too expensive, such a small can requires hardware.”
Xiahou Mao opened his eyes wide in surprise: "I said, Uncle, you have found a new way of wealth recently? This is not about eating oil, it is simply about eating gold."
"I'm going to tell you, it's not that I found a new way of wealth, it's that your good brother who found a good way of wealth." Cao Hong handed the jar to Xiahou Mao, signaled him to taste it, and took advantage of the opportunity to get closer and lowered his voice and said:
"We got some horse armor."
Xiahou Mao was shocked and almost threw the crystal jar in his hand to the ground, which scared Cao Hong's face trembled.
"Horse armor? How many?"
Cao Hong stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiahou Mao: "Help me ask Zhongquan if he is interested."
