The farther west you go from Pingxiang, the colder the weather becomes.

In the Lingju Castle of Geumseong County, when it entered October, it had already fallen a thin layer of snow.

With last year's experience, Dongfeng Express has prepared winter clothes early, as well as a variety of plum vegetables, grains, and even a special product of Yueshan: pickled fish.

This year's Dongfeng Express is no longer only a means of transport.

As the chairman of Dongfeng Express, he controls the various tribes of Longyou, how can Feng Junhou waste the resources at hand?

So this year, the Huqiang School Governor's Office cooperated with Dongfeng Express and introduced a good policy.

That is, as long as each tribe gathers enough manpower and material resources, and then report to the Qiang's Governor's Mansion.

Help Dongfeng Express transport goods from Qishanbao to Jincheng, Xiping, Xiaoguan and other places.

When they get to the ground, Dongfeng Express will send them a unique ticket.

With the ticket, you can go to the Huqiang Captain's Mansion to cash in all kinds of things.

What to offset the debts owed in the past, in exchange for grain, wool, and even salt, and so on.

This policy was praised by the Longyou Hu brothers, who believed that Feng Langjun was giving himself benefits in disguise.

At least this year, everyone can make extra money, and they can eat more food than last year during the New Year.

"Brother, are we going to raise the price of this wool?"

After delivering the last batch of supplies, Xu Xun entered the house, took off his sheepskin hat, shook the wool on his body, and the fine snow particles gargled down.

Lingju's house is not as good as Pingxiang, let alone Nanxiang.

In addition to using the privilege to temporarily make a big kang, heating on weekdays is to sit by the fire and roast the fire.

"You ate leopard gall?"

Feng Yong was roasting a leg of mutton, and when he heard Xu Xun's words, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

"The wool supplied to the army, it is a contract, if you dare to raise the price halfway, your family can hang you up and beat you."

Feng Junhou was simply convinced by this guy.

I don't know if it's because I ran the express delivery for too long and got the anger of a businessman or what, opening my mouth and closing my mouth is to increase the price.

Labor, up.

Dry food, up.

Now the wool is also going up.

Feng Yong felt that this guy would be swollen to death one day.

"That's not what the little brother said."

Xu Xun took off his coat, leaned in front of the fire, and stretched out his hand to bake the fire.

"What the younger brother means is that it is difficult for us to supply the army with this wool, and we have to squeeze out the share and sell it to Soochow."

"Now don't talk about the road from Longyou to Guanzhong, it is the Jincheng side, and it is also difficult to find a wool horse."

"So why can't the price of the wool we sell to Soochow go go up?"

The wool sold to Soochow is considered a semi-political task, after all, it is necessary to import raw sugar from them, which is not a loss.

Feng Yong didn't bother to pay attention to this dead man who asked for money.

"Last year, we were able to get a batch of inferior wool from Nanzheng's workshop, and now Nanzheng's gang of guys even take out inferior wool and sell it."

Xu Xun saw that Feng Yong didn't speak, and he still muttered unwillingly, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Nanzheng Workshop.

"That kind of inferior wool can be taken out and sold, and the price is ridiculously expensive."

"I don't know how dark my heart is to do such a thing. And those who buy it with money, I don't know if they are fools......"

"Say less!" Feng Yong scolded, "Nanzheng Workshop, it was opened by the government, what people do, and you can also use it for guidance?" ”

Xu Xun was so frightened that he turned his head to look at the door, and made sure that there were no outsiders, so he laughed dryly: "Didn't the little brother just say it to the elder brother?" ”

Feng Yong snorted, and secretly said that these guys are really getting bolder and bolder.

It is really the greed of capital that makes people have no scruples.

In the past, under the high pressure of Zhuge Old Demon, who would dare to say such a thing?

Now that Xu Xun said this, there may not be the will of some people behind him.

"Isn't the workshop over there in Pingxiang already started?"

Feng Yong flipped over the leg of mutton and gave Xu Xun a more black-hearted idea, "Which workshop is qualified for the first time when the wool is spun?" ”

"You don't want to think about taking those substandard wool off in advance?"

Xu Xun was a little puzzled, "But brother, no matter how bad this kind of wool is, isn't that Hu Ren a treasure?" ”

"In addition, my brother took the inferior wool produced by Nanzheng Workshop last year to fool the Hu people, which of those big clans is not good? How could they possibly let go? ”

The breeding of sheep in this era is far less than that of later generations.

Not to mention the yield and quality of wool.

Don't look at the five woolen workshops in Pingxiang, but in terms of volume, they may not be comparable to half of the Nanxiang workshop.

Half of Longyou's wool had to be collected by the government, and most of it was given to the Nanzheng Workshop.

However, the government-run, management philosophy, management methods, production efficiency, and even market sensitivity of Nanzheng Workshop are far from being compared with Nanxiang Workshop.

Not to mention that Nanxiang Workshop also has a top CEO like Li Mu.

Therefore, the annual defective rate of wool produced by Nanzheng Workshop is very high.

In terms of quality, the fineness of the wool in the Nanxiang workshop is even more than that.

Feng Yong sneered, "This kind of thing, if the Captain of Huqiang Mansion does it, others can do it?" ”

Last year, how many Hu tribes in Longyou couldn't eat or wear clothes?

The Qiang's Captain's Mansion did that last year for the sake of the overall situation and for the Hu brothers to have something to keep out the cold for the winter.

You people also want to do the same, have you asked the opinion of the Guardian Commander's Office?

Taking rotten wool to fool the Hu brothers, there is really something wrong and causing dissatisfaction, can you afford it?

Really from a political point of view, the Qiang Commander's Mansion will not allow the family to get involved with the Qiang.

Reach out and chop your hands, stretch out your feet and chop your feet.

gave them such a big benefit, not to please them, but to borrow their way to open up the roads of Wei, Wu, and even the grasslands and the Western Regions.

It is impossible to sell domestically, and it is impossible for them to sell domestically before the reunification of the world, and only export can maintain the appearance of life.

The right to sell domestically can only be in the hands of oneself, cough, cough, and the government.

"Huh?"

Xu Xun was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He really couldn't imagine that there was such a thing like this.

He couldn't figure it out.

"You don't understand." Feng Yong waved his hand, "You just go to your sister-in-law, they will arrange it." ”

Using the origin of raw materials and the dumping place of products as bait, the family semi-forced to expand outward, so that they had a strong idea of unification.

This kind of concept, with Xu Xun's IQ, it is normal to not understand it.

With Zhang Xingyi's political talent, after learning the things in his bookbox, he may understand something.

"Which sister-in-law?"

Xu Xun didn't really think that he could understand the Tao inside.

Because although I don't understand it, I always feel a little infiltrating.

Brother's viciousness, ah, no, I mean, brother's foresight, that's what everyone can see.

"Which sister-in-law is there, naturally Zhang, well, don't you only have one sister-in-law?"

Xu Xun suddenly said, "I understand, I understand!" I know it all! ”

"You know!"

Seeing Xu Xun's ambiguous expression, Feng Junhou scolded angrily.

This bastard actually let himself accidentally slip out of his mouth, which is really an unforgivable sin.

"First go to Pingxiang to find Sister-in-law Guan to explain, and then go to Nanxiang to find Li Mu."

Feng Junhou bit the word "guan" very hard.

"The weavers and handymen used by the Pingxiang Workshop are now supplied by the Nanxiang Workshop."

"If someone doesn't even sell us a piece of rotten wool, then ...... Li Mu will naturally know how to do it. ”

Xu Xun nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Understood, understood, Sister-in-law Guan and Sister-in-law Li!" ”

Feng Yong was furious and kicked over.

Xu Xun was kicked and reunited, and he smiled like no one else.

Just talking about the weaver and handyman, Xu Xun remembered something again.

"Brother, the weavers and handymen in the Pingxiang Workshop now can really only be regarded as hired laborers? After paying off the debt, do you really want to set them free? ”

"The decree issued by the prime minister himself, is it still fake?"

From the perspective of the workshop owner, it is natural that everything in the workshop is his own, including the personal freedom of the weavers and handymen, and even the heart, liver and spleen.

But from the perspective of the development of the industry, and even the big man, this is a short-sighted behavior.

Feng Yong was very glad that because of his special situation, the Han was not kidnapped by the family, but even took the initiative to weaken the shackles of the family.

So this short-sighted behavior is stopped by state forces.

"You'll understand later that it's for everyone's good."

Since Xu Xun talked about this, Feng Yong didn't mind talking about it more.

He took out a dagger, cut off a piece of mutton, handed it to Xu Xun, and then cut another piece of roasted brown skin and put it in his mouth.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Feng Yong said, "You don't know the situation in Nanxiang, how many weavers have become free in the past two years?" ”

"But which one wants to leave? Everyone else is trying their best to squeeze it in. ”

"The taxes collected by Nanxiang are increasing year by year, and last year, it is only below Jincheng."

"The government has not collected less taxes," Feng Yong pointed to himself again, "but the income of those industries in Nanxiang is also increasing year by year." ”

"Why? It's because of those weavers and handymen who have gained freedom. When they are free, they don't need to eat? ”

"Doesn't the money and food that the workshop gives them every month still have to use to buy clothes, briquettes, and furniture?"

"It's not that you don't know that the people who come out of the workshop, eat in their mouths, wear on their bodies, and live at home, are better than the old rich people in the countryside."

"Where do these things come from? Did they all grow it themselves? Do it yourself? Didn't they all buy from us? ”

The so-called free body, that is, the free body that does not even have arable land, what else can he do except sell his labor?

As capitalists, earn surplus value with one hand and sell their products with the other.

The money and food that had been given to them were collected in another way.

This money and grain circulate in a circle, and in the end, it can stimulate production through consumption, isn't it fragrant?

After listening to Feng Yong's nagging for a while, Xu Xun became more and more confused the more he listened, he counted with his fingers, but he didn't understand.

caused Feng Yong to despise for a while.

This is the Great Dragon Slaying Technique, you ancients know how to slay an egg!

Xu Xun didn't understand anything, at least he understood one thing: that is, the money and food finally returned to his hands, and even got a good reputation.

"Brother, this kind of worldly technique is really a peerless master!"

Xu Xun slapped his thigh, his face full of amazement.

Feng Yong smiled and didn't answer.

That's for sure, but he only said the first half.

In the second half, he did not mention the words "the proletariat unite" at all.

This is the inevitable trend of social formation, the inevitability of history, even if he says it in advance, it is useless.

Anyway, if he really waits until that step, his bones will turn to ashes for I don't know how many years.

Hundreds of years later, even if someone wants to pick up his grave, at most it will be dusty, Feng Junhou is fearless!

The cold of Liangzhou in winter can't resist the enthusiasm of the brothers.

A few days after Xu Xun left, several more brothers braved the bitter cold and ignored the long distance to come over to visit Feng Junhou, who was guarding the town.

"Brother!"

As soon as Zhao Guang entered the house, he wanted to pounce on him, regardless of the cold brought in from outside.

"Brother, you want to hurt me!"

Then Feng Yong assumed a defensive posture and pushed him away.

"Wen Xuan, why are you here too?"

The two brothers Li Yi and Li Qiu, who followed later, were much more polite.

They saluted Feng Yong in unison: "I've seen my brother." ”

"Sit, sit." Feng Yong beckoned, "There's hot water over there, there's tea on the table, pour whatever you want to drink." ”

"I don't like to be served, I do it myself. This is a milk tea brewed in the morning, and drinking it can ward off the cold. ”

Zhao Guang unceremoniously poured himself a bowl of milk tea first and drank it dry in one go.

Then exhale, "It's delicious!" ”

The resentment that was pushed away by his brother was swept away.

"Brother, this milk tea is really the best soup, I heard that now the Hu tribe will only take it out if the most distinguished guests come."

Zhao Guang poured another bowl to himself, "Two months ago, I went to see the grassland north of Pingxiang. ”

"The Qu Shuai of those tribes, when they heard that my brother and I were brothers, they even took out the last bit of tea in the clan."

Zhao Guang stretched out his thumb, "My brother's name is really better than real money in the Hu tribe!" ”

"But when it comes to this milk tea, it's still the best taste here!"

After Zhao Guang finished speaking, he drank another bowl of "coo-dong".

Feng Yong didn't care about him, and only looked at Li Yi and Li Qiu, "I thought Xinhou (Li Qiu) came alone, but I didn't expect Wen Xuan to come with him." ”

After laying Jincheng and Xiping, it is not over.

I have to let people send the news back, and in the end, I have to wait for the imperial court to set the Taishou of the two counties.

So in the past two months, in addition to leading the army to guard Lingju and put pressure on Wu Wei, Feng Yong was actually waiting for the Jincheng Taishou to come over.

Li Qiu, who was originally promoted from Nanxiang County Order to Hanzhong Changshi, is now promoted to Jincheng County Taishou.

If the prime minister of the Han Dynasty did not take into account the factor of Feng Yong, the captain of the Qiang Guard, many people would not believe it.

Anyway, now everyone knows that the group of people who first followed Feng Junhou are now the best among the younger generation of the Han Dynasty.

Li Qiu, as the new Jincheng Taishou, came over to hand over to Feng Yong, which was a matter of course.

But Li Yi also came over, which surprised Feng Yong.

Li Yi had previously asked for a vacation and went back to Nanzhong to visit Li Hui, and at the same time became close to Zhao Guang on the same day.

I heard that Jincheng was still very lively at that time.

The Li family in Nanzhong has really become a prominent family now.

Li Hui is the governor of Nanzhong, Li Yi is the prime minister's mansion to join the army, and Li Qiu is the Jincheng Taishou.

At the same time, Li Yi also married the little lady of the He family.

Although this He family does not represent the He family in Shu on the bright side.

But everyone knows that the third room of the He family is now Zhuge Old Demon's dog, and he can bite whoever he bites.

A few days ago, Feng Yong cooperated with the Li family in Longxi, Li Mu personally handled it, and He Forget and He Shen, the two fathers and sons of the He family's third room, provided ammunition.

directly put the Li family sect in Shuzhong down, and he is still angry.

Because of the He family's three rooms, in fact, the He family in Shuzhong is now in a state of division.

Many side branches followed He Forget He Shen, and the two fathers and sons mixed.

Coupled with the marriage between the Li family and the He family's side branch, I don't know if the head of the He family's clan will scold MMP in his heart now?

Anyway, the two surnames in Shuzhong, the He and Li families, were dismembered alive.

For the lineage clan, this situation is tantamount to the fall of the sky.

But for the side branches that have benefited, I am cautiously welcome.

I definitely prefer myself to live well compared to the people in the sect, right?

Emperor Xiaowu's Tui En Decree was originally an unsolvable conspiracy in this world.

The alliance between the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty and King Feng Ghost also has the flavor of a big push order.

I represent the wheel of history, and you cannot stop it.

The situation is not a small good, it is a big good, but there is a trace of worry in Li Yi's eyes that cannot be hidden.

The house is full of his own brothers, and Li Yu didn't hide it: "Brother, the younger brother went back to Nanzhong to visit the adult, and the adult's body was a little unbearable." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhao Guang looked at it.

Along the way, this Li Wenxuan didn't say a word, and hid him so tightly!
