As for why Han Jiang came to Xiuzhou, everyone present also had ideas.

Governor Shi followed and said: "It's definitely not out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, Yangzhou still has this little uncle." ”

Cai Tongju stood up and looked at the people present: "Let's make a gift." ”

"It's fine." Changshi recognizes this practice, whether it is used or not, it is always right to prepare it first.

The state lord Bo suddenly said: "Anyway, this little uncle didn't come to the Yamen, but he didn't go to the Wei family's three-room mansion?" ”

Cai Tongju was about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped: "The people in the third room of the Wei family didn't go to greet them, nor did they set up a banquet. Speaking of which, it's also a nephew who came. ”

"That's right."

It doesn't need to be explained, it's all clear. In terms of money, what uncles and nephews, this relationship is not so reliable, especially when it comes to a huge family property of tens of millions.

Inn.

Han Jiang didn't go back to the house after he came back, he first went to Zhao Kuo's place for a turn, and then went directly to Shi Dazu's house.

Starzu was putting some accounts in order.

Some expenses are paid by the post house according to the rules, and some overstaffed ones need to be paid for by themselves.

Since he is the head of travel, Shi Dazu has to do his job well.

Seeing Han Jiang arrive, Shi Dazu got up to greet him.

"Brother, don't get up, just sit." Han Jiang was polite, but Shi Dazu still got up and saluted.

After Han Jiang also sat down, Shi Dazu said, "Shaojun, is there something wrong?" ”

"Help me analyze it."

"Okay."

Shi Dazu did not refuse, folded the accounts in his hand, recorded a few numbers separately and put away the ledger. Han Jiang said: "I didn't take Han Hei with me when I went out, I saw a person named Fang Tu, who was helped by my uncle's family, a smuggler of salt here. The news he told me was the same as what Nakayo said. The third room of the Wei family participated in the resale of grain from the official warehouse. ”

Shi Dazu nodded: "Shaojun continues." ”

Han Jiang continued: "There is one more situation that surprises me. There is a person named Zhang Daguan, I don't know what his identity is. According to the map, the grain from the official warehouse went north to the north of Chuzhou, that is, the wharf controlled by the Jin State was exchanged for salt from Wuqing. So I don't understand, this Zhang Daguan is a Jin or a Song person. ”

Hearing this, Shi Dazu asked rhetorically: "It doesn't matter whether it's a Jin person or a Song person." If it is a Jin person, then it may be an intermediary, and if it is a Song person, it is a rebel. No matter what kind of identity it is, it's the same for Shaojun. The little one has a question. ”

"Brother, just ask."

Shi Dazu asked: "The lord hasn't asked, and the little one can't guess it, what does the young monarch want?" What does Shaojun want to achieve by going to Huainan East Road this time? In the end, whether Shaojun wants the inheritance that Li Xing is about to inherit. ”

It is said to be a question, but in fact it is a triple question.

Han Jiang didn't rush to answer, he needed to think.

Shi Dazu didn't rush, and the three questions that were the most difficult to answer were the second in his opinion.

Han Jiang thinks the most difficult is the third.

Han Jiang said: "Let's talk about the first one first, I don't really want much." I want a border port that can be used to transship a lot of shady cargo. I need copper, and I also need to have a place to generate value for our money, Chuzhou is the first choice, and Yangzhou is the second farthest. ”

"Yes, I understand what Shaojun said."

There is no need for Han Jiang to explain more, there are three ports in Chuzhou. The first is a port on the north bank of the Yangtze River, the second is the mouth of the Huai River, and the third is what Han Jiang wants most, a non-official port.

The port was not built privately, it was a bay port in the Bianliang period when the capital of the Great Song Dynasty was still in the north of the Huai River estuary. Now there are Jin and Song people mixed there, and there are Song and Jin officials at the same time, and both sides acquiesce to the port becoming a middle ground.

The grain that was smuggled out of the official warehouse was exchanged for salt, and it was traded in this port, which belonged to the Jinren-controlled area.

Han Jiang said again: "The second question, my goal is to fully control Huainan East Road, of course, this is only how much the goal can reach, I don't know, do your best, listen to the fate of heaven." ”

Starzu asked, "What do you mean by this total control?" ”

Others may not say it when they ask Han Jiang, even Han Jiang on Han Si's side will not say it, but Shi Dazu is an exception.

Shi Dazu is the head of Han Yanxuan, and he knows many secrets.

"Brother, let's assume that you can succeed in total control. The first stage is that there are no military officials here, whether it is political, civilian or military, our Han family's words are taken seriously. The second stage is to achieve the same level as Ruzhou, with one heart and one mind, regardless of inside and outside. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Shi Dazuxin said how many years a Ruzhou Han family has been in business.

It's still all the way, not one state and one government, it's difficult.

Han Jiang still hasn't said the third stage, and he won't tell anyone about this sentence, including his adoptive father Han Yanxuan.

This sentence is: In the third stage, my Han Jiang's words are the holy decree.

This kind of thing must not be said.

Shi Dazu asked: "In the end, what about the legacy left by Li Xing's grandfather?" ”

Han Jiang asked rhetorically: "Can I ask for it?" If I want to, the identity problem will be exposed in the future, this is the black case, I am greedy for the Wei family's money. So, I'm going to give the tangible part of this inheritance as a favor, and I want to exchange it for the control I want. The invisible part, I took no one knows. ”

"Shaojun, what is tangible and what is intangible."

"Shops, farms, goods, everything you can see and touch is a tangible asset. For the rest, some kind of technology, whether it's about salt, silk, cloth, iron, and so on, these are intangible. Of course, there are also networks, business channels, etc., which are also intangible. ”

After Han Jiang explained, Shi Dazu understood the difference with just a simple thought.

The real thing is tangible, the rest is not.

If so, it's a good idea.

But Shi Dazu still asked again: "Shaojun, Wuqing's salt road, does Shaojun also want it?" ”

"Don't. If there are other things, I can't trade with the gold people, just distinguish the types of transactions. There will definitely be no salt, if I make a move, I will find a way to smash the salt in Chuzhou Beigang to ten cents a catty, and the amount is unlimited. ”

Starzu just smiled and didn't answer.

If Han Jiang really has this ability, I'm afraid he can't help it.

The Lord Monarch will not let countless salt flow out at a price like ten wen, and will definitely intervene to make it more meaningful.

Salt.

Not to mention the smuggler of salt, it is the one that many officials in the DPRK and China want to interfere with.

Thinking about it, it is Han Jiang who is in charge at the moment, unless there is a huge difference or it will bring huge trouble to the Han family, Shi Dazu will follow Han Jiang's wishes in principle.

Shi Dazu said: "Since the young monarch has set the charter, then it will be done." ”

"Thank you, brother, for your trust."

Shi Dazu leaned back and replied: "Shaojun is the words, Shaojun is the lord, and I am the servant." But I have to ask again, what if it is verified that the Xie family's three rooms are really smugglers of official grain and gold for salt? ”
