Speaking of Nanzhong and Hua Wei, Feng Yong suddenly remembered something again.

immediately called Wei Rong over:

"A new school will be built in Nanzhong, and students who will graduate next year will be interned in Nanzhong School, and they can pass the Liangzhou examination first after they come back."

Wei Rong listened and was slightly stunned:

"But I don't know who the disciple wants to contact about this?"

"Flower lady, you know, right?"

As soon as these words came out, before Wei Rong could speak, Li Yi on the side had already shown a meaningful expression.

"Wen Xuan, I'm afraid this matter will also trouble you, you have a foundation in Nanzhong, and please write a letter to Nanzhong, so that the big clan over there can cooperate."

The Li family and the Fu family in Nanzhong are both wealthy families and in-laws.

The current Xinggu County is too shou Xi and is Li Hui's uncle.

With their cooperation, this matter is much easier.

"Little brother saves."

In February of the 11th year of Jianxing, Shangshutai of the Han Dynasty submitted a decree to the Prime Minister's Office:

In view of the increasingly frequent material exchanges between the Han and the Wu State, it was suggested that the Yi City should be established in Yong'an to specifically manage the mutual market with the Wu State.

The Prime Minister's Office quickly replied with one word: Accurate.

After the beginning of spring, the main work of the government is spring ploughing.

After the spring ploughing, it is immediately necessary to prepare for the wool harvest.

The so-called plan of the year lies in spring.

Whether it's farming or workshops, the most important time of the year is in spring.

Compared with these two jobs, the establishment of Yong'an Yi City is relatively low-key.

But it's also a matter of course.

After all, it is impossible for the Han to preach all over the world that Yong'an Yishi is to bring down Jingzhou's grain output.

Moreover, Yong'an Yi City is mainly aimed at bulk materials and profiteering materials.

None of this has much to do with ordinary people.

Even the price of grain, which is most closely related to ordinary people, has always had a protective price for the imperial court over the years.

Everyone doesn't have to worry about being manipulated by the family to sell low and buy high like in previous years.

In addition to the quyuan plough and the ploughing cattle lent by the government, as long as the small landlords and yeoman farmers are content and happy, their lives are still relatively nourishing.

Compared with Yong'an Yi City, it is not alarming in Dahan, but it has attracted the attention of some people in Wu State.

The Zhang family, one of the four surnames of Wu County, sent Zhang Wen's younger brother Zhang Bai to Jingzhou.

No, no.

Because there are rumors that the price of jaggery may be going to rise again this year.

And the Zhang family is now the largest brown sugar agent in Soochow.

Of course, this is a rather euphemistic way of saying it.

It's not a big euphemism, it's the comprador family of Wu Guoda.

This can't be blamed on the Zhang family.

In addition to the fact that Shu gave too much money, a more important reason is:

Who called Sun Quan so ruthless to the Zhang family in the Jiyan incident that year?

I also want to be loyal, but Emperor Sun doesn't allow it!

The people of the Zhang family can't be officials in Wu Guo.

So I had to sell some brown sugar and be a rich man or something.

As soon as Zhang Bai arrived in Jingzhou, someone immediately came to the door.

"Zhang Langjun, is it really going up?"

In these years, those who are qualified to grow sugarcane in Jingzhou and get a share of brown sugar are either generals in the army stationed in Jingzhou, or great families in Jingzhou.

The next few wealthy families are not eligible.

The most typical representatives are naturally the Zhuge family, the Kuai family, and the Cai family.

The current Zhuge Jin, the official general, the left capital protection, the leader of Yuzhou pastor, and the canonization of Wanling Marquis, is one of the top magnates of Wu State.

The Kuai family and the Cai family are the most typical representatives of the Jingzhou family.

Cao Cao went down to the south of the Yangtze River and swallowed Jingzhou, and the representatives of the Kuai family, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and Cai Mao of the Cai family took refuge in the Cao family.

Who knows that the battle of Chibi is changing.

Liu Bei took the four counties south of Jingzhou, and borrowed the southern counties from Wu.

Representatives of the Kuai family and the Cai family followed Cao Cao to the north as officials.

Both families are from the Nanjun family, so most of the clansmen still stayed in Nanjun.

However, because of Zhuge Liang's relationship, the Kuai family in Nanjun was not hit because of defecting to Cao Cao.

Then Wu State attacked Jingzhou, and because of Zhuge Jin's relationship, the Jingzhou Kuai family was still thriving.

That's why the Maison likes to split bets.

No matter which one wins in this world, it will not lose.

The person who came to inquire about Zhang Bai was Zhuge Jin's in-law family, the Kuai family.

"I'm here for this purpose."

As the largest agent of brown sugar in Wu Kingdom, the Zhang family is naturally the first to know about the price increase of raw sugar.

When the Kuai family heard this, they immediately became overjoyed.

The price of jaberland sugar has risen, and if you sell jaber, you can still have a share of brown sugar.

This one out and one in, there are dividends, it's just cool to death.

"This Shu person is also willing to make money, and the raw sugar has been rising in the past two years."

"It's understandable that you took Liangzhou." Zhang Bai's face was indifferent, as if he had already known the reason, "After all, Liangzhou has a direct access to the Western Regions." ”

Who doesn't know that going to Liangzhou to the Western Regions is a golden avenue?

Otherwise, why did the Former Han and Later Han dynasties, even if they were separated by a large area of quicksand, try their best to control the Western Regions?

If something like brown sugar really can be sold to the Western Regions, I don't know how many people will go crazy.

When the Kuai family thought of this, they couldn't help but blush a little.

Zhang Bai just glanced at the other party, and he already understood what the other party was thinking.

With such a look, he has seen too much over the years.

Brown sugar and woolen cloth, two bulk materials, are too profitable.

Even Zhang Bai knew that the Wei people in the north wanted to buy these two things from Jingzhou at a high price last year.

After all, although Xiangyang and Nanjun belonged to Wei and Wu respectively, the Kuai and Cai clans of the two countries broke off [5200 www.bqg5200.biz] relations without saying anything.

I saw him continue:

"Kuai Jun, I came here this time, in fact, I also want to ask everyone if they want to expand sugarcane planting, after all, the opportunity is rare!"

"A rare opportunity?" The person from the Kuai clan couldn't turn around for a while, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Bai "tsk":

"Kuai Jun, the Shu people are not stupid, I heard that they have built a lot of plantations in Nanzhong. What the price of this raw sugar will look like in the future, I can't say for sure. ”

The Shu people took Liangzhou and took the road to the Western Regions in their hands, and the demand for brown sugar suddenly increased significantly, so the price of raw sugar also increased, which is very easy to understand.

But it is no secret that the Shu people have been opening plantations in Nanzhong.

It's just that over the years, the Shu people have fought with the Wei people year after year, and the money and food are not in hand, plus there is a source of raw sugar from the Wu State.

Therefore, the sugarcane plantation in Nanzhong is not very urgent for the Shu people.

But now it's a different story.

The Shu people controlled Liangzhou, and the demand for brown sugar increased greatly, so the price of jaggery rose accordingly.

But who knew that the Shu people would also increase the development of Nanzhong in the future?

You can't run to the Shu people and tell the Shu people that you don't want to plant sugarcane, let's just plant it, right?

Sugar cane is a good thing.

With it, there is one more means of appeasing the barbarians.

What's more, brown sugar is in the hands of the Shu people.

After Zhang Bai's reminder, the people from the Kuai family finally reacted.

I saw Zhang Bai said with some worry:

"In the past, Shu and Wei used troops every year, so they couldn't concentrate on cultivating Nanzhong."

"Only last year, for a whole year, there was no movement between the two countries, if Shu really wants to be stable for two years, then Nanzhong ......"

Starting from the battle of Shu Wei and Longyou, the Shu people successively connected Longxi, Jincheng, Anding, and Liangzhou......

The battles, big and small, never stopped.

I heard that the Wei thieves deployed hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Guanzhong.

If Shu really wants to fight again, it will be regarded as a battle for the country, and without a few years of preparation, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight.

If Shu has no plans to use troops in the next few years, then it will definitely speed up the development of Nanzhong.

After the Battle of Yiling, didn't Zhuge Liang just retreat and colonize for a few years?

So Zhang Bai's worries are not unreasonable.

Thinking of this, the faces of the people from the Kuai clan were a little difficult to look at.

Market share, people in this era must not understand.

But there is still a certain vague understanding of this concept.

I saw him look at Zhang Bai and lowered his voice:

"What does that Zhang Langjun mean ......"

Zhang Bai doesn't sell Guanzi either:

"Kuai Jun, now that the price of raw sugar has risen, the sugarcane in the south of the Shu people is not as good as our Dawu, there are not more sugarcanes at this time, when will we wait?"

"According to the news I have received, the Shu people have wanted to completely pacify Liangzhou and Nanzhong in recent years, and they are only afraid that they will vigorously plant sugarcane in Nanzhong."

"In fact, jaggery is still a trivial matter, I am afraid that the share of brown sugar will be suppressed by the Shu people at that time, and that will be a big deal."

Hearing these words, the people from the Kuai clan were immediately shocked:

"Is that true?"

Zhang Baimu looked at the other party meaningfully and was silent.

The people from the Kuai clan immediately remembered that this Zhang Langjun's brother Zhang Wen had a connection with Feng Yong of Shu State, and I heard that the relationship was not bad!

When he said these words at this time, I'm afraid he didn't get some rumors?

Thinking of this, the Kuai family came and said:

"That's right, that's right! The share of brown sugar is the most important! ”

According to the agreed rules, how much brown sugar Wu gave to the Shu people, the Shu people had to return a certain percentage of brown sugar.

But if the Shu people themselves have enough jaggery sugar in the future, why would they return such a high proportion of brown sugar like now?

"So...... At present, I am afraid that it is the best period for us to grow sugarcane, taking advantage of the high price and return share, more varieties, there may not be such a good opportunity in the future. ”

Zhang Bai did not hide his purpose, and said calmly, "This is also one of the most important reasons why I came to Jingzhou. I hope to discuss with everyone to come up with a way to maintain this way of making money. ”

"Zhang Langjun really has a heart!"

The person who came sighed, and then arched his hand, "I'll go back to the clan and explain the situation, and Zhang Langjun will wait for my news." ”

As one of the largest families in Jingzhou, and Zhuge Jin, who guarded Jingzhou, he was also responsible for supplying grain and grass to Wu Guojun.

"Everyone knows that brown sugar makes money, but there is also a fixed amount of grain and grass supplied to the army every year, and the food in Jingzhou's army has been tight over the years."

"If you plant too much sugarcane this year, and you can't get grain and grass later, the general will blame it, who can afford it?"

Money and food are good things, and everyone wants them.

But no matter how strong the family is, it has to follow the rules.

If you want to enjoy the privileges, you have to pay a certain amount.

No matter which side of Wei Shu and Wu enters Jingzhou, if the families want to gain a foothold under the new forces, they must show sincerity.

The amount of sincerity represents the degree of optimism about the forces.

What is the most genuine sincerity?

Of course, it's money.

"Yes, food is a problem, and the general asked the generals in the army to open more fields, just to solve the food supply in the Jingzhou army."

"If there is a shortage of food because of planting too much sugarcane, not to mention the general, even the general will not be able to pass the level."

After a moment of silence, someone said:

"What about buying grain? What if we buy grain from somewhere else to make up for this shortfall? ”

Someone retorted on the spot: "Where in the world is there no shortage of food?" Who will sell? ”

There was silence again.

After a long time, the man who made the suggestion muttered in a low voice:

"I'm not sure about this, I heard that the price of grain in Shu has not been high over the years, but I don't know if they are willing to sell ......."

"I remember last year, but it was already two hundred dollars?"

"It has long fallen back, and the person who transported the raw sugar came back from Shudi, saying that the price of grain over there has returned to one hundred and twenty yuan."

February and March are the time when the young seedlings in the homes of ordinary people have grown and the old grain has been exhausted.

If it is only 120 yuan in January, then it is 150 yuan at most now, which is basically the highest price in a year.

Between Shu and Wu, government envoys and private business travelers are constantly exchanging, and the Nanxiang Exchange is the reference standard for the price of bulk materials in Shu.

If you want to know the price of Shu Kingdom, you can go to the exchange and take a look, it is very convenient, and you don't need to bother to inquire at all.

This business intelligence was previously known only to very few well-informed people, and it was possible to make a lot of money by playing a poor information gap.

But now this set no longer works in Shu.

This is also one of the main reasons why the big caravans will send important stewards to Nanxiang.

Because the exchange not only provides a trading platform, but also helps the caravan collect the price of materials from all over the world.

"That is to say, after Shu collects grain this year, the price of grain will fall to a hundred yuan?"

"If it is really as the Zhang family said, the Shu people do not plan to use troops in the past few years, but I am afraid that the price will be even lower than this......"

Compared with the hungry and full meals of the people of Jingzhou, the grain price in Shu is really low enough.

It's just that in this era, grain, like iron, is the most important strategic material, and the low price of grain for the Shu people is low, but what is the matter with the Guanwu people?

Under the governance of Zhuge Liang, the Shu State has strict laws and regulations, and without the permission of the government, who dares to sell grain to the enemy country privately?

Even if you want money and don't want to die, you can't sell it.

After all, with the geographical environment of Shu, if you want to transport grain in large quantities, can you hide it from the government?

"Wu Shu is an ally, and he said that he would help each other and fight thieves together. Besides, the general and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu, are siblings......"

"That's right. If the general is allowed to come forward, there will be no chance. ”

"I remember, Pan Chengming is Jiang Gongyan's brother, Jiang Wan is now the governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Shu State, and everything in Jincheng is in charge of him, why not ask him for help?"

The so-called Pan Chengming is Pan Jun.

The year before last, he was awarded the Fu Festival by Sun Quan and worked with Lu Dai to quell the rebellion of Wuxi Man.

Now it has risen to Taichang and is appeasing the barbarians in Changsha.

"That's a great thing!"

If it can really be said that the general and Pan Taichang come forward to persuade the prime minister and the prime minister of Shu for a long time, the possibility of this matter being discussed is not low.

Zhang Bai, who came to participate in the discussion, hurriedly said:

"I will go back and talk to my brother, and ask him to write a letter to Na Feng Mingwen and strongly persuade him to promote this matter."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed:

"If that's the case, then this matter can be done by seven or eight points!"

Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, plus a Feng Mingwen, which one is not a person who holds real power in Shu?

Not to mention the matter of jaggery, it has a lot to do with Feng Mingwen, others can be unwilling, but how can Feng Mingwen be unwilling?

This person is known as "clever words", let him go to persuade Zhuge Liang, and the grasp is a little bigger!
