Chapter 21: Changes (6)
See Conquering the World Chapter 21 Change (6) "Zhuge Xuan?" Duan Ye narrowed his eyes, and the impression of the sharp-beaked monkey's gills appeared in his mind. γn Lookγ
"My lord, I told you that Zhuge Xuan asked for surrender at that time, and the power in his hands was not small, and for the time being, we also had a place where we could use him in the Western Regions, so we accepted his surrender. Now his identity is a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions, and it is said that he has taken all the underground forces and shops of Lu Guang in the Western Regions as his own, and this life is very nourishing. β
"But, hasn't he been in Shanshan all the time?" Duan Ye said suspiciously.
Jiangyu shook his head, "Now this Zhuge Xuan, wherever he goes, he is hugging from front to back, and he is also very careful to protect himself, and this person has also done intelligence work, we want to find out his information, to be honest, it is difficult, there are many things we don't know yet." β
"Hmm." Duan Ye nodded, gently tapped the table with his hand, and suddenly asked, "Is this Zhuge Xuan very rich?" β
"yes." Jiang Yu asked strangely, "Shanshan's place is already very rich, and once a person like Zhuge Xuan goes, won't he be rich." β
"Well, it's good." Duan Ye said, "Anyway, the more money he earns, the better it is, the eggs in the basket, can he still run?" β
Jiang Yu glanced at Duan Ye with disdain, and stopped talking, Duan Ye's meaning was nothing more than that Zhuge Xuan made a lot of money, and in the future, he would still become here, which was equivalent to making wedding clothes for others.
β¦β¦
To Duan Ye's surprise, Murong Nong, who should have left after he expressed his position, actually asked to see him again. And this time, it was not an official status, but a request for a private status.
Duan Ye, who was a little confused, also held a small family banquet in the mansion to entertain Murong Nong and let the bald spirit accompany him.
The bald family and the Murong family were actually both Xianbei people, and they also had dealings with each other, and of course they knew each other. The relationship between Duan Ye and Bald Spirit is also known to everyone in the world, so it is not surprising that Murong Nong saw Bald Ling in the posture of a hostess.
It's just that Bald Spirit's heartfelt sense of happiness and satisfaction still makes Murong Nong look at Duan Yehoop.
In fact, there have long been legends in the market, saying that Duan Ye is the leader of Fengyue, and there are a number of fΔng'liΓΊ Langjun in the world, originally a person like Murong Nong, but he just thinks that Duan Ye may be more hΗo'sΓ¨, after all, these children of wealthy families, or the lord of one party, will definitely not lack women, and Murong Nong doesn't feel anything.
But when I looked at it today, I realized that it was wrong. From the beginning, Murong Nong's own woman, to herself, would never look like the bald spirit looked at Duan Ye.
That's real affection, not flattery, flattery, and other expressions.
Murong Nong's heart couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
After the greetings, Duan Ye raised his glass and said, "It's just a small dish, it's not a respect, Brother Murong, please!" β
"Please!"
After the two toasted, Duan Ye said, "Ming people don't say secret words, this lip is frozen, what is the matter?" Whether it's a business or a private matter, in fact, it can be said that Duan Ye can't guarantee that he will be able to do something to your satisfaction, but he will always do his best. β
Murong Nong put down his wine glass, nodded, and said, "Lord Duan is really painful, this ...... When Murong Nong came today, the first thing he wanted to do was to say goodbye to Master Duan, and Murong Nong was going to leave for him tomorrow. β
"Oh?" Duan Ye played with the wine glass and said, "So urgent? β
Murong Nong nodded and said, "Presumably adults also know that now that the original is rising, the smoke is rising again, hehehe, although Murong Nong is not talented, he is also a filial son, and it is not easy to return to his father." β
"That's right." Duan Ye sighed, "Why bother calling around all day long, my Liangzhou is so good, peaceful." Hehe. β
Murong Nong nodded enviously and said: "In the past few days, Murong Nong, accompanied by Lord Liu, has carefully looked at Gu Zang, and has admired Lord Duan, Lord Liu, Lord Liu, and the officials and people up and down Liangzhou. Lord Duan is really a genius. β
What Murong Nong didn't say was that he was actually very shocked by Duan Ye's abolition of the policy of conscription and apportionment into the mu, because this was completely beyond his own cognition, and many things that he took for granted were actually abolished by Duan Ye.
Murong Nong himself, for the time being, couldn't understand why Duan Ye did this. But what Murong Nong understands is that these days, he visited Liangzhou and found that the people must be very supportive of these policies, after all, there is no need to pay poll tax or do conscription, which must be a good thing. And the officials and gentry didn't even object much, or even complain. This shocked Murong Nong's heart. Murong Nong had already written this matter into a letter and sent it back to Yecheng's father in the starry night.
Duan Ye was humble again and again, but he secretly scolded in his heart, you old boy, you have always picked out key places to see, and the places you ask are all joints, you want to steal the teacher, you want to lay eyeliner here, can't we see it?
However, if I can be learned by you like this, it would be too much to underestimate our thousands of years of wisdom.
The two of them praised each other a few more words, and then Murong Nong asked, "My lord, I don't know what to think of this original situation?" β
"This time, Tuoba is no match for Fu Rui." Duan Ye said directly.
"How so?"
"A long-distance attack, without rear supplies, is not a disadvantage. Although the cavalry of the Tuoba Department was brave, whether it was Lu Guang or Deng Qiang, they were all broken, and the cavalry was not inexplicable. Finally, I think there are many people who don't want Fu Rui to disappear from Henan, so in a short period of time, Fu Rui will definitely be firmly rooted in Henan like a nail. β
Duan Ye's last sentence, although it was said slowly, was full of unquestionable firmness, which moved Murong Nong as well.
It seems that Duan Ye really wants to continue to maintain the balance of power, just like Rou'er said, Murong Nong said in his heart.
And these days of getting along also made Murong Nong really look at Duan Ye, and now Murong Nong absolutely does not doubt Duan Ye's strength, and even he, who has always been very proud, is willing to admit that Duan Ye is really better than him.
Duan Ye said, "Brother Murong, I heard that a gold mine has recently been discovered in your place? β
"yes." Murong Nong nodded, this news was not secret, Duan Ye knew about it, and it was not surprising.
"Hmm." Duan Ye touched his chin and said: "The environment of Liangzhou, you also know, the gentry are relatively wealthy, and they like to talk about pomp, Duan Ye used to think that it was better to be simple, but this official, if you are not luxurious, people still think that you have no strength, anyway, now, there is no shortage of money, so I decided to talk about this pomp." There are a lot of other jewelry and jade in the Western Regions, but Duan Ye wants to create a batch of gold objects recently, and wants to buy them from your new gold mine in Qingzhou, what do you think? β
"Huh?" Murong Nong's mouth opened wide.
He was completely unprepared for this matter, and he didn't even understand it very well, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer Duan Ye. After all, Murong Nong is a good hand at leading troops to fight, and it is not bad to manage the country. But he really doesn't understand business things.
But think about it again, my father currently controls things like war horses, ironware, silk, and salt, especially salt and iron, and my father Murong Chui followed the methods of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past and adopted a monopoly system, and the annual income of Changlu Salt Farm is almost more than the tax. Copper mines are naturally regulated, and they are needed to build weapons and make copper coins.
My father didn't care about this gold mine.
Because in this era, there are two main currencies in the world, one is copper coins and the other is silk, copper coins are easy to make, and silk can be carried in large quantities. And gold and silver, at this time, were mainly luxury goods, ornaments, and had not yet become currency.
But Duan Ye deeply knew that before he could make paper money, the value of gold and silver was the most trustworthy, and their monetary value would be discovered sooner or later.
Let's just say that now, the saying of prosperous antiques and gold in troubled times has spread among some gentry families, and if you hold gold, you can also exchange it for copper coins and sell it at a high price. The only difference is that you can't buy things directly with gold now, but you can already change it to an east-west direction, and the value is quite stable, isn't this a precursor to becoming a currency?
Since Duan Ye knows the trend of history, he naturally has a reason to follow the trend and promote the progress of history.
The inevitable monetization of gold means that sooner or later the gold standard will come, and at that time, whoever has gold in his hands will be the winner.
The reason given by Duan Ye was that Murong Nong always felt a little mysterious about what he needed to put on a score.
Let's just talk about Duan Ye's room, it does look a little simpler, but Murong Nong himself doesn't like these extravagant things, and his father Murong Chui's life is even more simple, in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with keeping it simple.
But this place in Liangzhou likes to talk about pomp and circumstance, which is not bad, this lip Rongnong also went to visit several big households in Liangzhou, but I don't know, I don't know if I see that people's homes are almost like palaces, even better than the old palace in Yecheng.
Moreover, Duan Ye's mercantile policy has made the merchants rich one by one, and the ordinary residents are also very wealthy, and Murong Nong really doesn't know if it's right. Since arriving in Liangzhou, Murong Nong has often been confused. But the fact is that the career of Duan Ye is thriving, and now a scholar has made Murong Nong intuitively feel that something is wrong.
Therefore, Murong Nong still said: "If your lord wants to buy gold, in principle, this matter is naturally possible, but Murong Nong has no right to be arbitrary, Murong Nong will go back and tell his father and ask him to decide." β~
