Chapter 222: Exploiting Loopholes

"Ah Yuan, what should I do now?"

Zhuo Wenjun kept shaking Zhang Yuan's arm anxiously.

Zhang Yuan didn't know that other families had also had accidents, thinking that it was just for the Zhuo family.

The news of Chang'an City came back and forth to Linqiong, Shu County, and it was a month.

If it was the independent behavior of the Shu County government, the time would not be so appropriate.

"Send someone to bring my token, so that the Zhuo clan can return to my Xin'anhou sect.

Maybe you can buy two more months for the Zhuo family, so that your father can sell the mine to the Shu County Government, and the share of the coal and stone business will be sold to Princess Pingyang.

The craftsmen of the iron-smelting workshop and the people of the Zhuo clan have all moved to Lantian County, and I will buy a house in advance, so that everyone will not have a place to stay when they come to Chang'an. ”

If you obediently migrate to Maolingyi at the behest of the government, then the ironworks and mines will not be able to be saved.

At least half of the flesh on the Zhuo clan can be scraped off.

"I'm afraid my father won't agree, the Zhuo family has been operating in Linqiong for a hundred years, and now it's only at the moment of glory, it's too difficult for him to give it all up."

"If you don't say yes, then there's really nothing left.

I agreed to come to Chang'an City, and I just happened to be able to dispose of all the people in the Zhuo clan. ”

"Ah Yuan, do you have an idea?"

"Well, Wen Jun, think about it, what is the most valuable thing about the Zhuo clan?"

"The mines?"

"No, it's the craftsmen and the stewards who take care of the shops in various places.

The craftsman can mint money for me, and the steward who takes care of the shop can manage the business of the village for me.

After your father arrived in Chang'an City, the Zhuo's blacksmith shop in the whole inner history realm was transformed into a Qingpingzi money village.

In the rest of the world, the blacksmith shop can be turned into a five-baht village, and by the way, the paper mill business can be completely launched.

At that time, the paper mill will give 10% of my share to the Zhuo family, and all the profits of Ziqian Zhuangzi will be given to the Zhuo family.

Linqiong Zhuo's clan, who does not strike iron, may be able to go to the next level because of this. ”

It seems that Zhang Yuan has deprived himself of most of his benefits, but in fact, most of the money is made in coinage.

The most profitable re-smelting copper coins will only be at the feet of the Son of Heaven, where the copper coins are the most abundant, and there are few private miners.

Zhang Yuan can exchange one five-baht coin for five and a half taels.

Most of those half-taels don't weigh four baht, but Zhang Yuan is one for five.

No matter how inferior the half-tael coin is, there will not be only one weight, among which the high-quality half-tael coin is basically all in Chang'an City, and the next coins are in the inner history and territory, as for the rest of the Han Dynasty, it is a paradise for private miners.

The officials who minted money in the various counties did not make money according to the specifications set by the empire in order to make money for personal gain.

When Zhang Yuan is out of the inner history realm, he doesn't plan to use the ratio of one for five, and then use one for five after all the weights are weighed.

Why do you need to weigh it and change it for five, because copper coins are an alloy, and you never know what metal those private casters added to it.

Zhang Yuan can only regret that this is not more than 2,000 years later.

Otherwise, some of the metals that are added to copper coins are not priced higher than the sky.

Zhang Yuan's words can't be said to have moved Zhuo Wenjun, after all, for Zhuo Wenjun now, his father's business is not the most important thing, as long as he can ensure the safety of the family, it is the most important thing.

She just accepted another choice that Zhang Yuan gave to the Zhuo family.

Attached to the Xin'an Hou Mansion, Liu Che's conscription order can be circumvented there.

As the highest title that a non-Liu can obtain, the privileges of a liehous can be manifested in any way.

As long as Zhang Yuan does not break the law, everything in his name is private.

Liu Che can take it by force, but that needs to tear his face.

There was a contract in this society, and the emperor also signed a contract with all the nobles.

The emperor granted privileges to the nobles, and the nobles unswervingly supported the uniqueness of imperial power.

At present, the treasury of the Han Dynasty is still in a state of fullness, and Liu Che will not take this risk to put everyone in the country in danger before the war.

In a state of declared war, everything in the country has to be suppressed for the time being.

The appeasement that should be appeased, and the suppression that should be suppressed with iron and blood.

Zhang Yuan did everything to take advantage of the law, and Liu Che had nothing to do.

Either ignore it or appease it.

"Who is the best person to send to Linqiong?"

Zhuo Wenjun accepted Zhang Yuan's statement from the bottom of his heart, and immediately began to think of the candidate for the message.

"I'll write a document, stamp the letter, and let Zongxing take it to Linqiong.

You should also write another letter to persuade your father, if Zongxing works day and night, he may be able to buy a few more days for your father to think about it. ”

Zhang Yuan was not worried that Zhuo Wangsun would not accept it.

One is to change the business, and the other is to be trapped in Maolingyi for the rest of his life.

"Okay, let Zongxing set off to Shu County in the afternoon."

Zhuo Wenjun was more anxious than Zhang Yuan.

However, Zhang Yuan gently stroked her back very understandingly, giving her the least comfort.

Liu Che's order did not cause much fluctuation in Chang'an City.

However, there was an uproar in the place where these families were located.

Especially in Linqiong, the two major families have to migrate at the same time.

Shu County has to move three important families in one county, and they are not just involved in the iron smelting business.

The main business of the Huang family is the silk cloth business, and they have mastered the most sophisticated dyeing technology in the whole Han Dynasty.

The Cheng Zheng clan has already focused on foreign trade, and many merchants who travel between the Han and Southwest Yi also rely on the Cheng Zheng clan to maintain the most basic business.

As soon as the three major families move away, at least a quarter of the livelihood of the people of Shu County will be affected.

However, Liu Che would definitely not think of this level, and Sang Hongyang and others would not think about the lives of ordinary people.

Emperor Qianlong reigned for several decades, and the Qing Dynasty did not have insect-bearing grain.

If the ruler is blind and deaf, no matter how poor the people are, the history books will write about prosperity.

Zhang Yuan asked Zongxing to take away half of the guards of the Xin'an Hou Mansion, and each of them was equipped with three war horses.

In order to be able to rush to Linqiong, Shu County within ten days.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yuan also learned that other families had been ordered to move into Maolingyi.

From the business engaged in by these businessmen, Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly turned cold.

This is too much like the later salt and iron official camp.

Although it is not said that it will be directly taken over by the state, it must be that Dongguo Xianyang is in charge of the salt industry, and Kong is only in charge of the iron industry. 360 Literature Network

As for the conscription orders against these two families, it is the real cover-up and stealing the bell, treating everyone as fools.

At this time, Liu Che didn't go too far, and these family properties would be acquired with money.

But everyone knows that these industries are chickens that lay golden eggs, and forced acquisition is equivalent to forced robbery.

However, it can be regarded as giving the least comfort.

What Zhang Yuanhao didn't understand was that Liu Che was not short of money now, so how could he focus on these people.

Recently, Zhang Yuan didn't have time to think about this, all he had to do was to implement the five-baht coin and popularize paper.

Qingpingfang's paper pricing has finally gone out of Chang'an City, and has been launched in stores in eight satellite cities, including Changlingyi, Anlingyi, Balingeup, Maolingyi, Yanglingyi, Weicheng, Duxian, and Lantian County.

The same Ziqian Zhuangzi also drove into these eight cities.

Zhang Yuan now has enough financial resources in his hands to support the full development of business in Chang'an City and the surrounding areas.

Especially the business of Ziqian Bank.

Chang'an City is a capital city, and economic activities are not frequent.

I don't know what considerations these emperors had for not making Chang'an City a prosperous city.

Luoyang City, far to the east, is much more prosperous than Chang'an City.

Not to mention that Chang'an City is compared with Luoyang City, the prosperity of Chang'an City is even inferior to Yanglingyi.

It can be said that Chang'an City has assigned its original economic tasks to the surrounding cities.

The emperors hoped that after their deaths, the area around the mausoleum would be full of popularity.

And in order to improve the status of the courtiers, even the meritorious courtiers can be buried around, but the burial can, and those mausoleums are separate mausoleums.

Coupled with the huge flow of people in the city next to the mausoleum, the mausoleums of these emperors basically don't think about hiding their locations.

The emperor's tomb in the Western Han Dynasty became the most seriously stolen and even the fastest to be stolen.

The Qing Dynasty was stolen after it fell, but the Western Han Dynasty was not over yet, and some emperors' tombs were stolen.

The traditional culture of tomb robbing in China also began in the Han Dynasty.

However, Zhang Yuan, who is a thief or not, can't care so much, he only knows that these places are the most prosperous.

Chang'an is deserted, and many people don't like to live in Chang'an City.

As long as there is no government affairs involved, many people prefer to live in the surrounding cities.

Like Sima Xiangru, if he didn't serve as a taishou in Qianwei County now, then he should live a life of spending days and drinking in Maolingyi.

Ziqian Zhuang's business entered these cities, and it went very smoothly.

Because they are all directly settled in the shops before Princess Binh Duong, the locations of these stores are naturally the best.

In addition, for more than a month, the matter of Qingpingfang in Chang'an City has long formed a trend.

The use of five baht coins is customary.

Therefore, the people of these eight cities accepted Qingpingfang faster.

Even like Yanglingyi, when Zhang Yuan hadn't done business here, the people in Yanglingyi had already started trading with five baht.

They used, of course, the five-baht money that flowed from Chang'an City, and now the smugglers are facing the largest manhunt in history.

In more than a month, nearly 100,000 smugglers were executed by the Han Dynasty.

This kind of strength has ushered in the best environment for the five-baht coin from the very beginning.

Because of the large population base of the eight cities, as well as thriving economic activity.

After Zhang Yuan's Ziqian Zhuang opened these eight cities, the interest rate of five thousandths made the people of the eight cities go crazy.

Only a week has passed, and the amount of money released has reached 300 million.

This is due to the lack of manpower, and the speed of review is really not fast.

The land deeds and field deeds stored in the Xin'an Hou Mansion have been filled with two large wooden boxes.

Of course, the amount of the loan is not too big, many of them are about 10,000 yuan, and only some of those who were originally in business before have the capital to lend more money to Zhang Yuan.

Most people's land and real estate add up to less than 10,000 dollars, and the things left over from their ancestors are not even as valuable as Zhang Yuan's casual getting.

But a few thousand dollars is already a lot, for them.

Food prices in Guanzhong are much lower than in other places.

Maybe it's because Liu Che doesn't want to see people starving to death under his nose, so as long as he has a pair of hands to work, he can earn enough money for his own life.

In recent years, due to the increase in the variety of agricultural products, the people have other options for planting crops.

In addition, soybeans are no longer feed for livestock, and after processing, people will not cause physical discomfort when they eat them.

The increasing disposable wealth of the people is equivalent to the increasing amount of grain reserves, and the price of food will also fall accordingly.

In this era, food is synonymous with money.

The nobles and Liu Che didn't want the wealth to flow to ordinary people, so buying the grain in their hands was naturally to suppress the price as much as possible.

If the price of food is allowed to rise, ordinary people will become richer and richer.

For example, farmers in Henan can't make much money from farming, but those who open companies can make a lot of money.

Otherwise, the price of pork will rise, and the people will not be able to raise pigs, and these strange things are simply not too much.

However, in Dahan, the purchase price of grain is cheaper, but there is an advantage.

Prices vary from place to place.

Continuing to the east of the Hangu Pass is the flooded area of the disaster.

The price of grain in the land of Qilu is twice as high as that of Guanzhong, and ordinary people can borrow 10,000 yuan to buy hundreds of stone of grain, and only need a car to pull it.

Along the way, only the official road was taken, and a group of people walked together, and it was also very safe.

It took two months to go back and forth, but he was able to double the 10,000 copper coins he borrowed.

They can even go to the beach to buy some sea salt and pull down Chang'an to sell.

In this way, it is not impossible for 10,000 copper coins to become 40,000 copper coins.

At present, Liu Che only let those salt merchants live in Maolingyi, and did not completely prohibit the salt trade.

In the era when the news is not smooth and the traffic is not very smooth, there are too many opportunities to make money.

As long as the government doesn't issue any devastating orders, a little caution and a little bit of brains can make money.

The business of Ziqian is booming, but there are fewer people who come to Zhang Yuan to cast copper coins.

The seven-day orders only added up to 200 million.

This kind of business is destined to be the largest at first, and then it will slowly decrease.

Of course, there will be a second wave of climax, and most of the nobles have not found Zhang Yuan's head.

They are still waiting and seeing, if Liu Che issues an order to abolish half a tael and make five baht money, Zhang Yuan's business will be able to do the maximum.

However, Zhang Yuan knew in his heart that if Liu Che wanted to issue such an edict, it would not be unless the right to mint five baht coins was firmly held in his hands.

How could Liu Che watch Zhang Yuan take all the benefits.
