Zhao Xun is not rich, and the annual output of Yulu and food is not worth a few dollars, excluding expenses and monks. These inches of silver were part of the reward given by King Xian after the Battle of Jiangdong that year.

Ma is Zhao Xun's main room, and there are no other concubines, the couple has a son Zhao Huan, because of late marriage and childbirth, Zhao Huan alone is only nine years old this year. Dozens of people in the whole family are counting on Zhao Xun to feed, and fifty inches of silver is not a small amount, but Zhao Xun still insists on asking Bailiyan (Wei Xian) to accept it:

"If you take it, it will inevitably cost you to open up the wasteland, and fifty inches of silver is actually less. I know that you have also saved a lot of copper money in recent years, and this time you will inevitably spend money on Guangxin. If you can't afford to accept it, it should be all subsidized by the book, and you can pay the interest every year. ”

"Alright then, it's better to be respectful."

Ma put down the silver and exited the inner room, and Zhao Xun asked again:

"You are going to Guangxin, have you ever carefully planned how to implement the policy of replacing government with business."

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. In the next plan, it will take half a year or a year to base itself on Guangxin, and then seek a business route, and the Liu family father and son are the key to success or failure. ”

"Shhh...... The father and son of the Zhao family have only known you for ten years, how can you drive the two of them to take on this important responsibility. ”

Hearing this, Bai Liyan smiled:

"Hehe, don't worry, the general will know until this winter."

Bai Liyan deliberately sold a pass, and then left the Zhao Mansion with fifty inches of silver, and later got Liu Chuan into the Zhao Mansion, placed him in the Zhao Mansion, and waited until three months later to pick him up.

The next day, Bai Liyan drove two big cars out of the north gate and entered the official road, Liu Zao followed closely behind with the one with the most goods, and Bai Liyan drove another caravan with Xiao Er and two boxes of valuables in front.

Ten miles away from the city, I saw the Wangshan Pavilion erected on the hillside on the left side of the official road, and the people and horses of Guangxin Gong were already waiting here.

Zhao Xun and Da Sima Mo'an were trying to avoid suspicion and did not show up, Guangxin Gong and his daughter Jiang Rong had already taken the lead on the road by car alone, and the man surnamed Chen and a few Jiashi entourage stayed in Wangshan Pavilion.

"In Xia Chen Yunfeng, the lord ordered me to greet Wei Langzhong here."

Chen Yunfeng gave a slight salute, and Bailiyan returned the salute:

"Wei Xian has seen Brother Chen, so Brother Chen is waiting here, Wei is really ashamed."

"In the future, you and I will be the lord together, there is no need for so much courtesy, presumably this is Miss Xiao, the confidante of the virtuous brother."

Chen Yunfeng's eyes fell on Xiao Er behind the caravan, and Xiao Er stepped forward and saluted:

"Xiao Er has seen Mr. Chen."

"Miss Xiao is exempt, in the future, Brother Wei and I will be in the same family, so there is no need for such politeness." Chen Yunfeng said casually, his eyes turned to Baili Yan again:

"Brother Wei Xian, there is something that is still unclear, and I ask Brother Xian to give me advice."

"I'm ashamed, Brother Chen, but it's okay."

"The virtuous brother offered the lord the plan of replacing the government with business, which is very easy to say, but quite difficult to do. The so-called business is nothing more than mutual communication. Now that my Xianguo should be worth a lot of property, and other countries have seven or eight, even if they don't, they can exchange with each other through the commercial canal, dare to ask Brother Wei Xian, how should the virtuous brother make the lord control the commercial canal of the Xianguo country, and drive the lord. ”

Bai Liyan was secretly taken aback, if you want to say that Guangxin Gong and Mo Anzheng just understand a little bit of economics, this Chen Yunfeng is by no means an idle person, he must be a senior staff member of Guangxin Gong Jiang Min.

The core of the policy of replacing government with commerce is to control trade routes, and the focus of controlling trade routes is goods. Nowadays, most of the other countries can produce it, even if it is a precious silk, outside the Xian country, the Changsun country, the Liang country, the Yan country, and the Qiguo country all produce silk, the difference lies in the variety, texture and output.

If it is a commodity that everyone can produce, it is natural that there is no control of trade routes, and the root of control of trade routes is the monopoly of a single product, and only you can do it, and others cannot do it, in order to achieve the goal.

Nowadays, most of the products that are related to the lifeline of the economy and can monopolize the industry are controlled by the state, and the rest can be produced, and other businessmen and individual operators can also produce.

Chen Yunfeng's words hit the nail on the head, which really surprised Bai Liyan. He said:

"What Brother Chen said is extremely true, if it is something that is available in all countries, it is naturally impossible to talk about stifling the business channel."

"According to the meaning of the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother has another way?"

Baili Yan is unfathomable and ambiguous:

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run, and after arriving in Guangxin, I will go to various places to inspect in person, and I don't know what Brother Chen wants."

Chen Yunfeng remained silent, and there was no expression on his face, but he said tepidly:

"Okay, when you go to Guangxin City, please ask the virtuous brother to give you some advice."

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Chen Yunfeng is a person who feels difficult to deal with, he knows too much, and the scheming city government is by no means under the uncle back then, he can see the clues in just a few words, and if he is entangled, there will probably be nothing good.

Guangxin City is located on the coast of the Beihai Sea, originally under the jurisdiction of Beihai County, is the only two large territories with a population of more than 500,000 in Xianguo, more than 800 miles away from the capital city of Qiling, riding a horse to march 120 miles a day, it takes six or seven days, and the stagecoach flies 400 miles to report two days.

Now in the middle of April, because it is located in the southern hemisphere, the closer north to the equator, and the further south the latitude, the temperature in the north rises extremely fast, and people can't help but feel that they are in the area of Guangzhou and Hainan in China.

Guangxin Gong accompanied a total of 300 cavalry, the equipment is very ordinary, still equipped with very thin leather armor, weapons are all bronze spears and bronze short swords, few iron blades, but Bailiyan is more willing to believe that this is Guangxin Gong's means to cover people's ears, so as not to be too public.

There was very little communication during the journey, and Guangxin Gong was still heavily guarded, except for the first two days, he rarely summoned and spoke alone at other times, let alone asked about politics.

Jiang Rong, the county lord who had been disguised as a man before, also knew all the whereabouts, only Chen Yunfeng acted handsomely, and had a close relationship with Guangxin, and Bailiyan didn't feel the existence of trust at all. Maybe Chen Yunfeng is pulling something behind his back, or maybe Guangxin Gong deliberately colds himself and wants to observe secretly.

After a long journey, Xiao Er was a little unbearable, and often sat and sat upside down in Bailiyan's arms, which was somewhat difficult for her.

A group of more than 300 people rushed for seven days, arrived at the nameless hill outside the city of Guangxin City in the evening of the seventh day, Bailiyan overlooked the whole city by the faint light of dusk, the majestic city was set off by the afterglow, reflecting the lights of thousands of homes in the city.

The city sits in the north and faces south and is located in the Beihai Great Plain, the regulation is comparable to the national capital of the Lingling, the city wall is more than 30 miles long, the wall is more than four zhang high, the width is three zhang, there are bricks outside the city wall, it is extremely solid, even if it is bombarded with a catapult, it is by no means comparable to the adobe city like Yin Yang in those years.

At this time, the night has fallen, the city gate has been closed at two o'clock, the guard will see that it is the Guangxin bus coming, immediately open the city gate, raise fire to welcome the Guangxin Gong into the city, the battle is no less than the arrival of the king of Xian.

Guangxin Mansion is located in the north of the city, although the regulation is the duke, but because of the first generation of Guangxin Gongchan position, the Wenchang Xian King specially allowed the palace regulation, so the Guangxin Mansion has the Beihai small palace said.

The carriage and horse stopped outside the gate of the house, and as soon as Bailiyan got out of the car, Chen Yunfeng came up with a lantern:

"Brother Wei Xian has been driving all the way, and the accompanying soft can be handed over to the next person to carry, and the virtuous brother and his family will come with me."

"Then Brother Lao Chen will lead the way."

As the saying goes, Houmen is as deep as the sea, and the rules of large families are often scared to death.

Bailiyan has just arrived under the fence, so it is better to be cautious. Led by Chen Yunfeng, these dogs in the public mansion will not bite casually.

At this time, Guangxin Gong and his entourage took the lead back to the inner courtyard, and Jiang Rong changed into a man's costume and came in a pink lero.

"Father" Jiang Rong saluted.

"Well, what about your mother."

"My mother broke down this morning and couldn't move."

"Blood Collapse!" Jiang Min was taken aback: "How is it now." ”

"It's getting better, but it's just that the qi is weak and needs to be recuperated."

The so-called hemorrhage collapse is a common gynecological disease collapse, and the bleeding caused by the collapse leakage can often be fatal.

Guangxin Gong Jiang Min's wife He gave birth in her early years, leaving the sequelae of blood collapse, which comes almost once every few months, and it is difficult to cure. Even with modern medicine, it is difficult to treat.

At this time, Chen Yunfeng led Bailiyan and his party to the West Chamber, the huge courtyard was brightly lit, and from time to time someone leaned out of the door to look at him.

"I have wronged Brother Wei Xian tonight in the West Chamber, and I will arrange a place for Brother Xian to live tomorrow."

"Then Brother Lao Chen is thorough."

"Okay, let's take my leave."

Baili Yan gave a slight salute and watched Chen Yunfeng leave. Then he and Xiao Er carried a wooden box into the gift, Liu Zao carried a few packages on his back and threw them on the ground, and organized the servants in the house to carry the rest of the items and wooden boxes into the house.

Xiao Er was a little tired, yawned twice in a row, and said listlessly:

"Brother Wei, this house is really big."

"House?!" Bai Liyan secretly laughed: "What kind of house is this, it is the official residence of Guangxin Gong." ”

"It's all the same people, what's the difference."

Xiao Er has never seen much in the market, in her eyes, as long as the house is as big as it can be inhabited.

After settling down in the west chamber in the first half of the night, Xiao Er was arranged to sleep alone in a room, and Bailiyan and Liu Zao slept in the next room.

The next day, the rooster just crowed, Liu Zao was still asleep, he was old, and his physical strength was seriously overdrawn all the way. Bailiyan has practiced martial arts for many years, but she is still adaptable, and she immediately washed up as soon as the chicken crowed.

Last night in a hurry, the field of vision is not clear, this morning dawn, the huge west chamber is in full view, the west chamber occupies an area of less than fifty steps, dozens of chambers are scattered one after another, there is quite an imperial style against the background of morning and dusk.

"I'm afraid it's just the palace outside the Xianwang Palace......" Baili Yan said secretly and walked to the courtyard.

The outer palace of the palace is the dormitory of the monarch's ministers and officials on duty, and it is regulated by the west chamber of the Guangxin Mansion, which is comparable to the outer palace of the Xianwang Palace. This is still the west chamber, the east chamber can only be larger than the west chamber, and the Xianwang Palace does not have such a layout of the east and west wings.
