Section 837 The madness of the Great Si Nong
Zhang Anshi listened to Zhang Yue's words, and was naturally very curious, and asked, "What is the best plan for the virtuous brother?" ”
From ancient times to the present, countless kings, sages and heroes have tried.
There are successes and failures.
There are those who succeed first, then fail, and finally their descendants come back and eventually become great causes.
There are also those who continue to fail and encounter setbacks at the beginning, but they are indomitable, relay from generation to generation, and finally succeed.
Among the allusions of contemporary literati, there are countless stories and idioms related to this.
The road is blue, overcoming thorns, thinning Xirong, and the city is on the other side.
And all people, all stories, ancient and modern, have one thing in common - this matter is never difficult, not overnight, and can be successful!
In modern times, the most successful example is the Zhuxia transformation of the land of Baiyue.
Since Qin Shi Huang conquered Baiyue in the south, he has gone deep into the barren until today.
In the Qin and Han dynasties, one hundred and fifty years of diligent management and the sacrifices of countless soldiers, officials and people were exchanged for the end of the current merger of Baiyue into China.
But......
Even so, in the land of Baiyue, there are still many people in many places, who are still tattooed, father and son live together, and are buried in coffins.
Zhuxia? China? King?
What is that?
In Jiaozhi, Rinan, Zhuya, Zhan'er and other places, you can find everywhere the tribes and people who are still slashing and burning, knotting ropes, with conical hair and hanging sideburns, not knowing grammar, and not knowing that they are already the subjects of the Han family.
It is also for this reason that some mainstream schools of Confucianism now insist on the proposition that 'Yidi beasts cannot be talked with'.
Because of this, it is too difficult and too difficult to turn raze into summer!
Even if it is a natural asset, an immortal woman, the right time and place and the right people gather, without more than a hundred years of hard work, you can't see the results at all.
Zhou Gong, Tai Gong, Heng Gong, such sages could not see the hope of success in their lifetime.
The state of Chu and the state of Qin have gone through hundreds of years, and the sacrifices and efforts of more than ten generations of ancestors have been successful.
Now, this little brother actually told himself that he had a good plan and a quick way?
How can Zhang Anshi dare to believe this?
Of course, Zhang Yue also knew this, he smiled and said to Zhang Anshi: "Brother, wait and see!" ”
Zhang Anshi listened, laughed, and said: "That foolish brother is waiting in Chang'an, waiting for the virtuous brother to return, and then talk about wine!" ”
But I really don't believe it in my heart!
After all, this is something that even the Great Sima Hussar General of the year, with his narrow and immortal merits and the power of thunder, could not do!
Wuheng, Hun Evil, Xiu Tu, Yiqu, Zhuqiang.
can surrender and be obedient, but he can't become a real Han Chinese.
Even when Huo Qubing was alive, they still lived by water and grass, feeding on milk, father and son, brother and wife.
As for now?
Even the most loyal Yue's righteous servants back then were no longer so loyal and obedient.
Therefore, Zhang Anshi is really not optimistic that Zhang Yue's trip can be successful.
No way! It's unprecedented!
Since ancient times, no one has been able to change the heart, beliefs, culture and customs of an ethnic group overnight.
Even sages like Duke Zhou and Duke Tai can only change the core area under their rule in their lifetime.
But where could Zhang Anshi have thought that in this era, there was a traverser?
……………………………………
Bidding farewell to Zhang Anshi, Zhang Yue drove directly to the Dasi Agricultural Office, handed over the post, and asked to see Sang Hongyang.
Soon, Sang Hongyang came out with someone to greet him in person.
"The prince is here, why don't you send someone to inform you first?" Sang Hongyang greeted Zhang Yue with a smile, and when he entered the gate of the official office, he laughed.
He has been in a good mood recently, and his career has reached a new level.
A few days ago, he wrote to the Son of Heaven and proposed a "sea vessel official camp" to prohibit private ownership and manufacture of large fishing boats that can go out to sea to fish.
Moreover, the entire sea area from western Liaoning to the four counties of Korea was assigned to the Haiguan Yamen directly under Dasi Nong.
Of course, the Son of Heaven will not refuse.
It was immediately approved, and Dasi Nong was allowed to set up a new 'Maritime Administration' to be responsible for the disposal and management of ships going to sea, especially those in the four counties of Liaoning West and Korea.
This allowed the business scope and authority of Dasi Nong to extend from the land to the sea at once.
Nowadays, some people in the Great Si Nong have even shouted the slogan 'Where the building goes, all my territory'.
The end is domineering and majestic.
He himself, because of his meritorious service, was restored by the Son of Heaven to the identity of the Great Si Nong, and he no longer needed to take the title of 'Governor of Su Du' to preside over the affairs of the Great Si Nong.
It is also because of this that Sang Hongyang is really grateful to Zhang Yue.
Because, if it wasn't Zhang Yue's reminder and guidance, where could he be today? And how can you find a new source of income from fishing?
In Sang Hongyang's eyes, Zhang Yue is an economic wizard with the skill of turning stones into gold!
What's even better is that this economic wizard is not willing or want to compete with him for power at all.
People are eyeing military exploits and the Huns.
In this way, the status of Sang Hongyang will not only not be affected in any way, but will also be stained in the future, so it will be stained with countless lights.
War is such a thing, and it is Da Si Nong's favorite thing.
Because only by going to war, the government and the opposition and the Son of Heaven will know how important Dasi Nong is.
will understand that the Han family must not leave Dasi Nong's salt and iron official camp and leveling equalization system.
It is only by going to war, and it is a big war, that Dasi Nong can do whatever he wants, take the opportunity to expand his authority, and encroach on the interests of other colleagues.
Therefore, Zhang Yue was warmly welcomed in the entire Dasi Agricultural Bureau, and received countless respects and worships.
Entering the main hall of the official office, Sang Hongyang warmly invited Zhang Yuegong to the guest seat, ordered someone to serve refreshments, and then asked: "The servant is busy and has come out of the red, I don't know what is the matter, and I need the assistance of Dasi Nong?" ”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "It's just that there is something to bother Dasi Nong!" ”
"But please speak up!" Sang Hongyang said with a smile.
"Last time, I came to visit and asked Dasi Nong Haiguan to raise those materials as soon as possible......" Zhang Yue looked at Sang Hongyang and said, "I don't know, Dasi Nong can transport some of these materials in advance to Shangjun Wolf Fortress for my use......"
Sang Hongyang listened, frowned slightly, thought about it, and said, "This is indeed a bit difficult......
Zhang Yue came to visit him last time and asked the official Yamen of the Great Si Nonghai to prepare a large number of supplies for him.
These materials were strange, which made Sang Hongyang confused, and he didn't even know Zhang Yue's intentions.
However, I thought that those things were not worth much anyway, and at most I would spend some resources and transport them to Ling Jusai.
So, he said yes.
But now, Zhang Yue came to the door again, wanting Da Sinong to transport some of the things to the wolf in advance.
This made Sang Hongyang a little difficult.
It's not for any other reason, it's about cost.
Because last time, Zhang Yue's request was only to ask Dasi Nong to send things to Lingju within this year.
Dasi Nong naturally doesn't need to spend too much energy, he just needs to put things in the material convoys and fleets of the Pingzhun Division in various places, and just transport them to Lingju by the way.
The expenses are not huge.
But now, it is necessary to transport things from Liaoxi to Wolf Mengsai in advance.
This will definitely require the organization of a large number of transport convoys, the dispatch of resources from all sides, and the need to send people to notify the maritime officials at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
In this way, it all costs money.
And it's a lot of money.
Conservative estimates, just the freight is probably more than 10 million.
Zhang Yue listened, but glanced at Sang Hongyang, and said: "Although Dasi Nong can rest assured, this assistance is not free!" ”
"I will pay Dasi Nong ...... according to the quotation of Dasi Nong."
When Sang Hongyang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and after pursing his lips, he looked left and right.
found that the officials on the left and right were all excited and kept rubbing their hands.
What does Dasi Nong's equalization and loss division do?
The answer is to buy low and sell high.
Its specific mode of operation is as follows: Dasi Nong has set up equal-loss officials and quasi-officials in the major cities of the county and the main commodity trade distribution centers in the world.
The Junwan official was responsible for transporting materials from the main commodities and daily necessities producing areas in Tianzhou County to supply Chang'an.
Then Chang'an Dasi Nong sold it to all parts of the world to make a difference.
To put it simply, it is up to the state to act as a second-hand dealer and eliminate private middlemen.
Relying on the country's postal system and the kiosks set up in the world, Dasi Nong was able to easily grasp the price levels in various places and thus make a profit from them.
And the leveling officer is even more terrifying.
The leveling officer is the official of the main commodity distribution center and trade center set up by Dasi Nong in Tianzhou County.
They are responsible for only one task – measuring and setting benchmark prices for major commodities everywhere.
When a certain commodity in a certain place is lower than the lower limit of the benchmark price, the equalizer will fully purchase it at the benchmark price.
When it is above the upper limit of the benchmark price, the equalizer sells a large amount of it at the benchmark price from other places or warehouses to stabilize prices and combat speculation.
Of course, this is just the ideal situation, or the crown article used to gag someone else's mouth.
In the actual implementation process, the officials of Dasi Nong's equalization are even more terrifying than those hoarders and merchants in the past!
It is said to stabilize prices and crack down on speculation.
In fact, the people who manipulate prices and speculate are none other than the average loser and the peace-and-quasi-official of Dasi Nong in various places.
Since the establishment of the leveling and equalization system, the income of Dasi Nong in this aspect has been rising, and now it has become the second largest source of income after salt and iron!
Therefore, Zhang Yue's words sounded like a natural voice to the officials of Dasi Nong.
Because, this is the fat sheep that was sent to the door to be slaughtered for them!
Not to mention, they can completely operate it, and mark the worthless things in the official yamen of the Liaoxi Sea at a sky-high price!
Of course, because the other party is Zhang Chiyou.
They don't dare to play this kind of sassy operation, but they can make a lot of money.
And Dasi Nong, as long as there is money to be made, there is nothing that dare not be sold!
Back then, in order to make money, Sanghong sheep even threw away the knotweed to feed the dogs!
It's just that......
Sang Hongyang looked at Zhang Yue, let out a sigh of relief, and asked, "Shizhonggong, what are you going to use to pay for ......?"
Zhang Yue smiled and spit out a sentence that made Sang Hongyang's heart beat faster and he couldn't help himself.
"Barter, of course!"
"Dasi Nong's efforts will naturally be rewarded!"
"The fur and milk of the various departments of Wuheng, as long as the big Si Nong is willing to accept it and is willing to give a reasonable price, I am willing to use it to pay the price of the big Si Nong after the leveling......
Of course, the subtext is nothing more than 'if the offer is not reasonable, I will find someone else'.
Zhang Yue finished speaking, and before Sang Hongyang could answer, an official of Da Sinong jumped up: "Don't worry, Da Sinong will definitely give Shi Zhonggong a reasonable offer, and never let Shi Zhonggong suffer!" ”
Sang Hongyang hurriedly glared at him, so frightened that he shrunk his neck, and then arched his hand to Zhang Yue: "The righteousness of the servant, I will treat the big Si Nong to thank him!" ”
"Please rest assured, the things needed in the service, even if the Dasi Nong Department dies, it will definitely arrive at the wolf on time, and there will be no delay!"
The others also bowed to Zhang Yue excitedly: "Rest assured, we will personally supervise and transport the things to the wolf on time!" ”
No way!
The price offered by Zhang Yue, no one in Dasi Nong can refuse, let alone refuse!
Because, it's about endless benefits, countless profits!
You must know that since ancient times, it has always been a big army that moves, and a thousand dollars a day.
But at the same time, a victory for the army is also a mountain of gold and silver.
Not to mention, the personal capture of the soldiers themselves alone is a huge fortune!
For example, in that year, Li Guangli Dawan won the war, went out to fight soldiers, and brought back countless gold and jade.
These things, the general big head soldiers, where will they stay, of course, are sold as soon as possible, and it is more cost-effective to exchange them for cash.
Therefore, there are military businessmen who came into being.
Specifically dispose of these loot, dispose of these proceeds.
Yuan Guangguo, the richest man in the Han family, made the first pot of gold from helping Li Guangli's army sell the spoils of war.
Unfortunately, Dasi Nong has not been able to intervene in it.
The sale of army spoils has always been handled by the generals themselves.
Now, Zhang Yue is willing to open this opening and let Dasi Nong get involved.
The benefits and profits in this are huge when you think about it with your ass.
It is no exaggeration to say that after a major war, as long as you win, it will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of loot.
Not to mention, Zhang Yue is also willing to barter with fur and cheese.
That's where the profit comes in!
Therefore, in the eyes of the officials of Dasi Nong, Zhang Yue is no longer the feared and frightened Zhang Chiyou.
It's the God of Wealth, a local tyrant who spends money like dirt.
Such a person is simply an ancestor.
Take a god card and offer it, and it is not too much to pray and worship in the morning and evening!
Zhang Yue saw it, but he smiled and bowed to the Dasi Nong: "Don't dare, this matter still has to be bothered by Lao Zhugong!" ”
In my heart, I felt a little faster in my heartbeat.
Dasi Nong is definitely a monster created by the times.
Its name is the government, but it is actually a monopoly organization.
And it is the most terrifying and terrifying existence of all monopolies!
He is both a business organization and a government.
Both an athlete and a referee.
Originally, Zhang Yue should have spit on him!
However, in today's era, this monster is the existence that represents the development and progress of the social productive forces.
It is the most combative and dynamic interest group.
The other interest groups are either military generals who are full of chasing meritorious deeds, or Confucian scholars who are full of small peasant thoughts, who only want to cling to the incomplete and hope to live an idyllic life forever.
Only Dasi Nong will be willing to throw away the thrift grass as long as there is money to be made.
In the end, Zhang Yue chose the former between officials and businessmen.
