Chapter 51: Mi Zhu's Visit
Bai Yang was very concerned about Huang Zhong's affairs, and when he heard Hua Tuo say that he needed thousand-year-old ginseng, Bai Yang suddenly felt that things were very tricky.
But you have to work hard in everything, and you really can't find a way to go to Luoyang, and you should have it if you want to come to the Imperial City of the Han Dynasty. In any case, it is also a great dynasty that has been inherited for more than 400 years, and it may be an unattainable treasure for ordinary people, and it may not be much for them, but it is not to the point of none.
"Brother Yang, you see that it is about to be the time for our sergeant to test at the end of the year, and you also emphasized this matter over and over again a few days ago. Why don't you go back and talk to Mr. Jia and let him think of a way and come up with an idea. We plan to go to the Ziyun Mountain base in a few days, and we can't let this matter be delayed. ”
Zhu Yan saw Bai Yang striding forward vigorously, and knew that he attached great importance to Huang Zhong's matter. But at the meeting some time ago, it had already been decided that the sergeant would test at the end of the year, so he thought of a compromise and asked Bai Yang cautiously.
Zhao Yun was at a loss, he only officially came to the Taishou Mansion yesterday, and he didn't know a lot of things. I didn't know what Zhu Yan was talking about the year-end test, so I pricked up my ears and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
"Wen He is sure to tell him, but I have to think of a way here! Push the other things first, and solve Huang Zhong's matter. Bai Yang knew too well that this was an excellent time to recover Huang Zhong, and there would be no such shop in this village after that, so he would rather push some of his things back and implement this matter as soon as possible.
Huang Zhong is too important to him, this is a figure who can PK with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others at an old age. Not to mention that now is his peak period, and Huang Zhong in this period should be about the same as Lu Bu in his expectations. And Huang Zhong is also a comprehensive talent who leads troops to fight, isn't there such a saying, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find, to put it bluntly, Bai Yang feels that there are still too few talents in his hands.
After a few people returned to the Taishou Mansion after a short time, Bai Yang instructed Xiao Luliu to invite Jia Xu to come to him to discuss things, and then took Zhao Yun and Zhu Yan to the study.
"Zilong, Wenzhong, you all grew up in the village, and your village is relatively close to the mountains, have you ever heard of a thousand-year-old ginseng in a nearby village?"
Bai Yang doesn't let go of any hope! I think that Zhao Yun and Zhu Yan often live in Zhaojia Village and Zhujia Village, and these villages are close to the Taihang Mountain area. He remembered that he had seen a lot of precious medicinal herbs in the mountains when he first crossed over, so he wondered if the people in their village had gone into the mountains to collect some similar medicines such as thousand-year-old wild ginseng.
"Lord, I went up to the mountain to learn art when I was eight or nine years old, I really don't know who has this baby, or I'll go back to Zhaojia Village and ask. But this kind of thing should be difficult to ask, think about it, who has this treasure and doesn't hide it, who will have nothing to do and shout! Zhao Yun heard Bai Yang ask and hurriedly said.
Zhu Yan nodded and echoed when she heard Zhao Yun say this: "Brother Yang, this is the truth, if you want to say that it is thousands of years, it is really unattainable." If you want to say that it is really possible to go back to the village for two or three hundred years to ask, it is really possible for thousands of years, and ordinary people dare not say it, if this thing leaks out, it will be a curse or a blessing for ordinary people who have no power! ”
Bai Yang listened to their analysis and felt that what he said was right. "Bang, bang" Suddenly heard a few knocks on the door, Bai Yang knew that it was Jia Xu who came to look for him, and hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”
"Lord, I don't know what you're looking for?" After Jia Xu came in, he saw that Zhao Yun and Zhu Yan were there, and nodded to the two with a smile After saying hello, he arched his hand and said to Bai Yang.
"It's Wenhe! It's really not good that I'm bothering you when you're so busy, but I have a very tricky matter for you to do right now. ”
Seeing the tired look on Jia Xu's face, Bai Yang was also a little embarrassed after speaking, as if he had been busy since Jia Xu followed him, and he didn't give him time to rest. Looking for him for this matter today, I feel a little too much.
"Lord, I'm still busy coming here, and I'm worried about my lord. Just now, Xu Zheng discussed the second batch of Baiyang paper with Mi Zhu, the owner of Mi's Commercial Bank, and Xu just wanted to report these things to you. ”
"Now our Taishoufu has done two transactions of Baiyang paper with Mi's firm, and now Baiyang paper has been put into the market and the response is particularly enthusiastic, but because our output is a little small, it is temporarily sold in our Yizhou. Just now, the head of the Mi family also mentioned to me that he wanted the lord to increase the production of Baiyang paper, so that we could sell Baiyang paper to more places as soon as possible. ”
"The main reason these times is that we have just started to cooperate with Mi in the early stage, and after everyone is familiar with the transaction process, Xu can let go of other things. Therefore, the main thing in the early stage was to bring people, so that the people from the Ordnance Department, the Finance Department and the Mi Merchant House were familiar with each other. I think Mi Zhu also had this idea, so these two times I came to the door in person. ”
"By the way, my lord, Mi Zhu is still in the living room in front! Do you need to meet him? When he first came today, I saw his servant holding something in his hand, probably to give a gift. It just so happened that you weren't in Taishou Mansion when he came. So when he wanted to see you, I told him that you weren't there, and that I needed to meet him now. ”
Hearing that Jia Xu was so dedicated to what he explained, Bai Yang felt very relieved, he didn't care much about many things, but Jia Xu unconsciously thought of some things and made up for them.
"There's no need to see him, his gift is nothing more than wanting me to increase the production scale of Baiyang paper, and we will naturally increase productivity after a while."
"But this increase in productivity is also an increase in the scale within a certain range, to create a feeling that there is very little white sun paper, and what you buy is what you earn. How so? It's a kind of hunger marketing, never saturate the market. ”
Seeing that several people looked at him with bewildered expressions, Bai Yang also knew that they didn't understand this. "You don't have to understand now, just do what I say.
To Wenhe, the main reason for coming here this time is to let you think of a way, I need a thousand-year-old ginseng now. During this time, you spread out the Jinyi Guard to focus on the matter of looking for thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, and you can ask where it is. As long as the pharmacy, the family or the villagers have it, they will report it back after asking clearly, and I will take the money to buy it. ”
"Lord, it's easy to say for a hundred years, but I've never heard of it for a thousand years, so it's hard to find!" Jia Xu also had a sad face when he heard it, where is this kind of treasure so easy to find, this is not cabbage.
"By the way, my lord, why don't we ask Mi Zhu? He is such a big businessman, he has traveled south and north for so many years, and he is a well-known business family in the Han Dynasty, let's see if he has a way. After Jia Xu finished saying it just now, he had an idea, so it was better to ask Mi Zhu.
Bai Yang was also excited when he heard it, yes! Mi Zhu is different from them. Through the efforts of three generations and more than 100 years, Mi's firm should have seen a lot of things, even if there is no thousand-year-old ginseng, at least there should be news!
The Mi family is also a big family no matter what, and it is different from these poor families. Many of these people couldn't even eat enough before, and they hadn't even seen a silver ticket before, and if you ask him about these treasures, it's really a rush to go to the doctor.
"He's in the living room, isn't he? Let's go to the living room. Bai Yang asked, saw Jia Xu nodding in agreement, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the living room with everyone.
