Chapter 159: Sinister

Guo Peng's matter Qin Han did not take countermeasures in the end, I believe that it should have been concealed from him, but if he wants to gain a foothold in Guangxin City, or even make a difference, Qin Han, the invisible rich man behind him, is a key person who cannot be ignored, without his consent, no one can do business on the land of Guangxin, Guo Peng, Zhang He, and Huo Xing can be seen, and even Guangxin Gong Jiang Min is only a part of Qin Han's ultimate goal.

The rich have countless properties, but they are all hoarded in their hands and are useless, and the products of the deserted villages are partly civilian resources, and partly they are luxury goods. The rich man's money is easy to cheat and earn, Bailiyan intends to take out the money in the hands of the rich first, turn it around by himself, and slowly expand himself, so as to avoid the conflict of interest with Qin Han to the greatest extent.

If Qin Han agrees to the soap matter, it will undoubtedly open a gap in luxury goods, and he can earn the money of the rich unscrupulously in the future.

There are many women in Guile Fang, and the monthly private money and reward money can be as little as a few or as many as a dozen inches of silver, and soap will be a large consumption item, and it can even be expanded to all music shops and brothels.

After deciding on this matter, two hours had passed unconsciously, and Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) stood up, took out a gold collar from his arms and put it on the case:

"Please also accept it, Miss Xiao."

"This can't be helped, the adult has the grace to save the life of the little woman, and this song is all to thank the graceful father, how can I accept the adult's gold and silver."

Xiao Chunyu picked up the gold collar and wanted to return it, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Bai Liyan grabbed her white and tender jade hand like clotted fat.

"In the next piece of mind, Miss Xiao should not refuse."

Xiao Chunyu's heart trembled, the blushing became more and more red and purple, and the pulse twisted and said:

"My lord is joking?"

"You don't have any jokes, please wait a few years for the girl."

Bai Liyan said solemnly, she never thought that she blurted out such words so ghostly, and she actually made a private relationship between songs, maybe this is a man, for the sake of women, everything is out of the way.

Walking out of the embroidery room, Xiao Chunyu did not see him off, but Tang Tao was standing outside the door and laughed spontaneously with Yin Tao's small mouth, thinking that she had overheard it just now.

"Lord Wei should have enough money, don't forget Xiao Tao then."

Bai Liyan only regarded it as Tang Tao's stupid words, nodded with a smile, and thought to herself, she must not agree to redeem Xiao Chunyan alone, she had to redeem herself with this girl in order to take Xiao Chunyan into her arms with her heart.

That night, Xiao Chunyan proposed that the old bustard of Guile Fang sell bath soap to the Qin Mansion, and Qin Han pondered what Bailiyan wanted.

"Gao Heng, you can find out through the soap and cold ice, can you know what the secret is?"

"Back to Qin Ye, I don't know what kind of magic Wei Xian used on the people of the deserted village, the people of the deserted village are silent, and it is difficult to know how Bailiyan made the soap and cold ice. What's even more strange is that this porcelain, according to investigation, seems to be no different from the firing process of the official kiln in Chenling, but the hell is that the two are very different, which is really puzzling. ”

Since Baili Yan began to sell ice, Qin Han has repeatedly sent people to assassinate the deserted village to secretly investigate the method of making cold ice, but he has not succeeded. Seeing that a large number of soap and porcelain entered Guangxin, Qin Han once again sent people to secretly explore the method of making soap and porcelain, but failed again, which really made Qin Han scratch his head.

"Qin Ye, surnamed Wei, sold all the commercial goods to Guangxin, and the daily income is quite large, and now he has to sell them to Guile Fang, which makes me think of Wei Xian's "business instead of government" policy dedicated to Jiang Min last year.

Now this soap and cold ice can only be made by Wei Xian alone, short fashion and can, if it goes on like this for a long time, he is the only one in the entire Central Plains who can do this business, and who else can compare with it. ”

At this time, Qin Han smiled coldly:

"Hmph, Jiang Min is not admonished, and he only uses Wei Xian's hoarding strategy to earn some small profits, so he can achieve a great cause. As for Wei Xian, I want to see what else he can do. ”

"Could it be that Qin Ye wants to squeeze him dry and then eat it all in one bite?"

"Why not!" Qin Han said contemptuously: "This person has the power to govern the country and level the world, and he has unpredictable talents, and using his ability to consume all forces is the best policy."

It's a pity that this man is too smart, and a wise man will never live long. As long as he dies, all the secrets of the deserted village will be owned by me, and I will not be able to use the business as a substitute for government. ”

"What about Xiao Chunyu?" Gao Heng asked cautiously, his expression suddenly became mysterious: "If the affair between her and the county lord Jiang Rong spreads, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing." ”

Qin Han was silent for a moment and asked rhetorically:

"Do you think Wei Xian can be used by us?"

Gao Heng was surprised:

"Qin Ye didn't want to use Xiao Chunyu to hold Wei Xian, right?"

Qin Han laughed:

"As the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, Wei Xian has great ambitions, and he will not be committed to me easily, but he can still use him to restrain Jiang Min."

"Does Qin Ye want to use him to defect?"

"Why not, do you think Zhao Xun and Jiang Min have the same heart?"

Gao Heng nodded in understanding:

"I see. So, I'm going to have a great plan? ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Qin Han's eyes, and his tone suddenly became ruthless:

"Now there is no hope for spring ploughing, and there will be chaos in April. Now that the Jin State and the Zhi State have been involved in the Xian State, as long as the Sun State and the Xu State are pulled into the people's rebellion, our great cause is just around the corner. ”

In February, locusts have already risen on the rise, and only one-third of Sunguo's autumn grain was destroyed by the locust plague last year, and half of Xianguo's autumn grain was wiped out. In addition to the implementation of the new calendar and the construction of water conservancy in the past three years, although the locust plague covers a quarter of the country's land, it has not caused public anger.

After Jiang Min listened to Luo Songting's suggestion and refused to donate grain, he only symbolically provided 20,000 stone of rice in the name of pledges for disaster relief due to the drought of that year and the locust plague last year to prevaricate the Xian King.

After a few days the temperature rose, Pucheng, Lincheng, Dingyang and other Beihai County locusts have a tendency to rise, Guangxin because of last year's burning straw to purify the land, a large number of destruction of insect eggs living conditions, locusts are difficult to find.

Bailiyan was worried about the migration of locusts, so Jiang Min encouraged farmers to raise chickens and ducks to be released into the wild to prey on locusts that flew into the Guangxin territory, and at the same time levy a chicken and duck slaughter tax on the market to reduce the consumption of poultry.

In March, bad news spread frequently, locusts reappeared in Qiunan and Xianxi counties, spring ploughing was completely hopeless, and bandits were becoming more and more rampant in various places. In the first half of the year alone, Bai Liyan led a team of 200 people to arrest, attack, and exterminate more than 500 thieves and bandits, and more than 30 people suffered losses.

In mid-to-late March, Ding Su's cargo ship entered the port smoothly and brought back a large amount of cotton, hemp silk, leather, medicinal materials and other scarce materials from the Jin Kingdom.

It took two or three days for the cargo ship to be loaded and unloaded after docking, and Bai Liyan led Ding Su around Guangxin and temporarily arranged to live on the second floor of the department store.

"Ding Caidong, a trip to the Jin Kingdom is really difficult for you." Bai Liyan poured a bowl of water and handed it to Ding Su.

"Hey, if it weren't for Mr. Wei, how could I be worth now. You don't know, when I was in the Jin Kingdom, I was encountering the closure of various markets, but fortunately, the news came late, and the goods had already arrived in my hands, otherwise there would not have been so many ships and merchants today. ”

When Ding Su rushed to the Jin Kingdom to purchase goods, it happened that the Jin Kingdom closed the city.

The closure of the market is different from the prohibition of the market, and the closure of the market only takes strict control measures for individual commodities, and cotton and hemp silk Zhenghai are products that are strictly prohibited from trading in the Jin Kingdom.

Ding Su had already bought it in his hand at that time, got the customs clearance documents, and loaded it on the cargo ship of Xianguo early, as long as no one maliciously made things difficult, with his identity as a powerful person in Xianguo, officials at all levels of the Jin State should have to give some face, if it was an ordinary businessman, most of the goods would not come back.

As soon as the Jin Kingdom made Ding Su earn a lot of money, his worth increased by eight times compared to the beginning, which can be described as getting rich overnight and making ill-gotten gains.

"By the way, Mr. Wei, Ding's porcelain sold to the Jin Kingdom is very pretty, I have sent Waifu to prepare a warehouse in the Jin Kingdom, if Mr. Wei still has such excellent porcelain, he can let Ding transport it to the Jin Kingdom, porcelain is in short supply in the Jin Kingdom, sir, please see."

Ding Su patted the big black wooden box that he had brought in before, and Bai Liyan glanced at it, thinking that it couldn't be all inches of silver.

"Ding Caidong, what is this?"

An amazing smile squeezed out of Ding Su's fat face, almost squeezing the fat off his cheeks.

"There are three thousand four hundred and eighty-three inches of silver here, and two hundred and one inches of gold."

"So much!" Bai Liyan was surprised: "A batch of goods are all sold?" ”

"Yes, it's all sold, it's a dream."

The sales of bone china in the Jin Kingdom were far better than expected, and a total of 5,000 pieces were sent to Ding Su last year, but I didn't expect to sell them all.

"In this way, all the inch of gold will be sent to Lord Zhao, and I will take 3,000 of the remaining inch of silver, and the rest of the power will belong to Ding Caidong."

"How can this be done, there are too many." Ding Su resigned again and again, but in his heart he thought that there was no reason not to want to.

"Okay, Ding Caidong doesn't have to shirk it, there are opportunities to make money in the future, if you don't take such a small fortune, you can't help but look down on someone Wei."

"Hehe, it's still Mr. Wei who is generous. Ding has lived for so many years, and he has never seen such a lucrative business as Mr. Wei, and this time it is really an eye-opener. ”

The real price of gold and silver is much higher than that of copper coins, and the purchasing power is also stronger than copper coins, a fraction of four hundred and eighty-one inches of silver, which is definitely a huge wealth for Ding Su, and now even if his whole family is turned upside down, it will not be much more than here.

Just as the two were talking, Xiao Er suddenly pushed the door in:

"Brother Wei, Brother Zhu Xia came from Chenling, saying that he was looking for big brother in a hurry."

"Zhu Xia!" Bai Liyan was surprised: "What about others?" ”

"Zhu is here."

Zhu Xia answered and leaned in from outside the door.

"Steward Zhu, why is it so urgent, I have to bother Steward Zhu to go there in person." Bai Liyan hurriedly asked, motioning for Xiao Er to go and guard outside the door.

"Something's wrong, there's something big."

Zhu Xia said abruptly, and Bailiyan was confused.

"Steward Zhu, you speak slowly, why are you so panicked, General Zhao has a letter."

"Yes, yes."

Zhu Xia took out Zhao Xun's handwritten letter from his arms, and then a sentence popped out of his mouth, which surprised Bai Liyan again:

"Yao Peng, the general of Sun Guozhen, was killed, the 100,000 army mutinied, and the two counties of Pengyuan and Wanchuan have been lost."

“……!” Bailiyan's brain exploded with thunder, and she was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say. After waiting for a moment to calm down, he hurriedly asked again: "The 100,000 army mutinied, and Peng Yuan and Wanchuan County were lost, how is this possible?" Is it the war of the eldest grandson Guoxuan, or is it the Zhiguo? ”

"Hey, neither. It was last month that the people of Changsun State were in turmoil, and Sun Guo sent troops to suppress it unsuccessfully, which provoked a civil uprising. The rebels captured the county government and opened the granary and military warehouse, and the momentum grew rapidly, and then the eastern army of Sun Guozhen mutinied, and captured Pengyuan County all the way, and captured Wanchuan County ten days ago. ”

"How is this possible, 100,000 troops, how can there be a mutiny." Ding Su couldn't help but be taken aback. He used to be a quartermaster, so he naturally knew that the army could not kill a main general and pull away an army of 100,000.

At this time, Zhu Xia said again:

"According to rumors, the rebels of Sun Guomin claimed to worship heaven as their father, and wanted to punish the tyrants of the world, and restore peace and prosperity to all the people in the world."

"!"

Bailiyan scolded, but Ding Su and Zhu Xia didn't know what the word "" meant.
