68. Socialism
In November, the osmanthus is fragrant, the autumn wind is bleak, and the yellow leaves are everywhere.
Grandfather Han Yan sent a letter to him, and he had completely taken over the paper sales share of Chang'an City, and urged Han Yan to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and let the paper division start work first, otherwise the paper was produced in Gonggao Marquis and transported to Chang'an with great effort and effort, and the cost of this transportation link alone almost wiped out the benefits of selling paper.
You don't have so many big cars, you don't have professional people to run transportation, and you don't have so many places to stay, you are not a teacher, there are shops all over the country, you can supply food, drink, housing and transportation yourself, eat, drink and live in your own industry and spend money to live in other people's wine houses, and the transportation expenses are several times worse.
Now Gonggao Marquis is completely relying on the previous backlog of paper to support it, there is no interest at all, selling paper in Chang'an is a waste of effort to make no money, burning money to grab the market, and then it will not be able to hold on.
As for moving the papermaking workshop from Gonggao Marquis to Chang'an, it is completely unrealistic, first of all, the people of Gonggao Marquis cannot come to Chang'an to settle down, not to mention the migration of thousands of people, and secondly, if you want to build a paper workshop in Chang'an City, it is completely impossible to operate without three years and five years, and at that time the share of Chang'an City will also have to be robbed by the Ling family, as the saying goes, there are no slaves at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the welfare of the people of Chang'an is extremely high, and the poor people are few as helpers, they can't hire people, they can't buy slaves, and building a workshop is nonsense.
Han Yandang can only hold on now, looking forward to Han Yan quickly taking down the Ling family, without the Ling family, the Shi family will naturally find Gong Gao Houguo to cooperate with the goods, there is only one seller, this is the only choice for the Shi family.
Putting down the letter, Han Yan lowered his head and thought about how to break the situation, it seemed that he still had to spend effort on Bai Ziqing.
In fact, he punished Bai Ziqing for washing dishes and serving dishes for three months to pay off his debts, Han Yan didn't take it to heart, he just wanted to see if he would run away.
But don't look at this guy as a sissy, but there are two brushes in communication, after getting acquainted with everyone, he is occasionally lazy, and he can't see it, but now he can be at ease, he dresses fancy every day and wanders in the martial arts hall, he doesn't work at all, and everyone is too lazy to talk about him, because there are more and more people coming to the martial arts hall to watch boxing matches, Han Yan let hire three young ladies, and naturally liberated Bai Ziqing.
Just pondering this, he saw the three young men of the Bai family shaking the folding fan into the door, a pair of Danfeng eyes were very fancy, and his eyes fell on the letter on the desk, this was the first time he saw someone write a letter to Lecturer Shanshi, and asked with curiosity: "Did the family send you a letter?" ”
Han Yan rolled up the paper letter without a trace, opened the drawer and threw it in, and said, "Sit down, we've known each other for two months, right?" ”
"Huh?" Bai Ziqing's eyebrows moved, generally speaking, this way is not good.
Han Yan: "Aren't you very curious about my identity, I have been around Feng and Han Erdan all day long to inquire about the news, I should have a point in my heart, right?" ”
"Well, I pretty much know who you are...... Those who came from Chang'an City are still the heirs of the princes, and they are ...... years old" Bai Ziqing looked Han Yan up and down, and said with interest: "About fifteen years old, your two beards are definitely sticky." And the group of you people in the martial arts hall is most concerned about the Ling family, as soon as there is news of his family, they will prick up their ears, eager to dig up his family to the bottom...... You came here in August, when the hero issued a wanted warrant according to Meng, and the target was Han Yan, the son of the Marquis of Gonggao, so you could only pretend to be in Luoyang. ”
After a pause, he raised his hand to bow his forehead: "Mountains and rocks are rocks...... Bai Ziqing has seen Yan Shizi. ”
Hearing this, Han Yan smiled, nodded and said, "It's not in vain that I revealed so much news to you, it's a little clever." ”
“……”
"Since you know that my name is Han Yan, you should know what I'm doing in Luoyang, right?"
"The interests are great, take down the Ling's paper workshop, and maintain the right to monopolize the paper given to you by His Majesty."
"And what do you think?"
"It's a bit difficult......"
"According to Meng, you can rest assured, as long as he is not so mad that he wants to be razed by the three clans, with the current strength of the martial arts hall and my identity, I can shake hands with him later." Personally poured Bai Ziqing a cup of tea, raised his hand and motioned for you to drink, Han Yan continued: "You only need to help me introduce Shi Zhen, the patriarch of the Shi family, just say that the mountain and stone lecturer of the martial arts hall wants to see him, and there are interests to talk about, I think with my reputation in Luoyang City, I should be qualified to ask him, right?" ”
"You are now the number one person in Luoyang, and it is unheard of to have such a reputation in just three months."
Bai Ziqing stared at Han Yan in a daze, after two months of contact, he found that this Yan Shizi's behavior was different from ordinary people, and sometimes there were astonishing words, what everyone is equal, regardless of dignity and inferiority, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the most important thing is socialism, this word he can't understand from now on.
He also gave the name to the top figure in the world, and the words were as simple as eating and drinking, and there were also the furniture in front of him that subverted the times, keel waterwheels, and papermaking, all of which told that this was an extraordinary person.
And now, the strength of the martial arts hall even according to Meng Du had to be frightened, Luoyang City's famous ranger masters were almost wiped out by the martial arts hall, more than 20 people have become the door of the thugs, and more rangers are considering joining the martial arts hall, there are more people who admire Mr. Shanshi's reputation, according to rumors, the first to join the martial arts hall A big brother, has been taught by the mountain stone lecturer to cultivate immortals, the secret of the Han Dynasty wizard is broken, and becoming an immortal is just around the corner.
Seeing Bai Ziqing looking at himself in a daze, Han Yan smiled and said, "I've never used others in vain, if you help me introduce me, I will naturally give you benefits." ”
"Huh?" Bai Ziqing's Danfeng eyes blinked, "What benefit?" ”
"Pledge allegiance to me."
"What are you kidding?"
"I still have a hundred years to live, and to keep your Bai family peaceful for a hundred years, is this a big benefit?"
"......" Bai Ziqing: "Blow, I don't believe it anyway." The Han Dynasty has been established for less than 100 years, what guarantee do you have for a longer period than a dynasty? The princes may not dare to say that they will not be revoked by the emperor, where do you get your confidence? ”
"Let me ask you, if there were no emperors, no nobles, no princes in this world, officials were only servants of the people, and the management class of the country was chosen by the people themselves, what would it be?"
"How is that possible?" Bai Ziqing's heart shook violently, like a thunderbolt in the blue sky and white sun, helping him open the gate of heaven, this point of view ...... Not something anyone from the feudal era can imagine.
……
As a frequent visitor to the martial arts hall, according to Meng, he will come to watch the boxing match every once in a while, although he never pressures money to participate in gambling boxing, but his arrival has brought great prestige to the martial arts hall, forming a star effect, and is a benchmark...... According to Meng, the hero often goes to the martial arts hall, and wants to get close to the "martial arts alliance leader", the martial arts hall is very convenient, do you want to go and see the boxing matches there, isn't it very outdated?
"According to the chivalry."
"According to the hero."
"Look, it's really a hero......"
According to Meng, every time he arrives, he will cause the rangers in the martial arts hall to be amazed, and being able to watch the boxing match with Meng Daxia is quite a glorious thing in the eyes of the rangers, and he can brag about it for a long time when he goes out, and he can raise his identity and status.
"Sit down, everybody." According to Meng, who was accustomed to this kind of scene, he pressed his hand with a kind smile, thanked everyone for giving up their seats, glanced around, and sat down at a table with a friend.
He likes the atmosphere here very much, although it is a bit noisy, and it is mixed, and there are many evil people mixed with the crowd, but this kind of lively scene is really rare in the Han Dynasty, and it will feel "popular" here, and the rivers and lakes are so prosperous.
