More than expected?

Is that really the case?

Doesn't Han Yi know how backward the Khitan is? After an advanced civilization enters, it is still very easy to help a small group of people quickly accumulate wealth, because a blank market, that is, the blessed land of merchants, plus this is not a pure transaction, there are many, many helps, and it is the help of real money, how can he, as a businessman, miscalculate this account.

The only explanation is that his ultimate goal may not be so simple.

The restraint plan is only a superficial one.

However, Chen Shuo's real experience allows her to understand Han Yi, the roles are different, the information she knows should not be equal, the emperor can't tell the prime minister everything, even if he completely trusts the prime minister, if he tells everything, it will definitely be bad.

In fact, several women around Han Yi have done a very good job of this, especially Xiao Wuyi, from the beginning, Xiao Wuyi of course knows that Han Yi hides many secrets, but she distinguishes very clearly, in terms of work, she will never ask more than half a sentence, although she has asked in Yangzhou, but she did not break the casserole to ask in the end, nor did she force Han Yi to answer her, and later Han Yi took the initiative to tell her, giving Han Yi great freedom.

For Han Yi, lying and deceiving people is commonplace and has become a habit, but he is also trying his best to avoid lying to his loved ones, the only way is not to say it, although I am only the tip of the iceberg, but at least the truth.

Han Yi stayed in the Taoist temple for three days, and then went down the mountain, although he also wanted to stay longer, but the reality did not allow it, how could he disappear for a few days without a reason, but Chen Shuozhen did not leave immediately, she had to wait until the end of winter to leave.

But Han Yi was not in a hurry to meet the city, but went to the new market.

"Proprietor, you look for me."

A man dressed as a businessman came to Han Yi's suite.

Han Yi said: "You go to Yangzhou immediately, and let Yun Xiu go back to Chang'an immediately." ”

"Yes."

"Wait."

Han Yi suddenly raised his hand and said, "If Yun Xiu is not willing to come back immediately, you can tell him that Chang'an's steelmaking technology has made a breakthrough, and I think this will definitely help him, which is why I asked him to come back to Chang'an immediately." ”

"The villain remembered!"

"There you go."

"The villain quits."

After the man went out, Han Yi picked up the wine on the table, put it to his lips and paused for a while, and suddenly drank it again, his eyes shining with excitement.

.....

.....

In the past, autumn was the harvest season for people, and everyone liked the arrival of autumn, but with the change of society, winter has become the harvest season. In the past, the reason why autumn was regarded as the harvest season was because the grain that the people collected from the fields was everything in the small-scale peasant economy, but now a large amount of land is controlled by the farmers, and grain is a commodity for them, and the commodity must be sold for wealth in order to be considered a harvest.

And Han Yi was the busiest time, it was also winter, because the northwest merchants arrived, but this also gave him many reasons to go to Chen Shuozhen, he basically went to Chen Shuozhen for the night in two or three days, and among his four women, he gave Chen Shuozhen the least.

And this time the Northwest merchants came to Chang'an, and they had a very important thing to negotiate with the imperial court, that is, vouchers.

The desire of the merchants in the northwest for currency has reached a critical point, if they do not give money, the northwest market may collapse, it has developed to this scale, but there is still no currency, and it is too troublesome to transport the copper money. The huge market, but there is no currency trading, this is really very hurt, the transaction in the northwest is always stagnant, because the transaction is too troublesome, but the economy is growing, so it is completely supported by trade with the Central Plains, and the internal digestion is too inconsistent with economic growth, and sooner or later there will be problems.

Almost all the wealthy merchants in the northwest have come to Chang'an, so don't talk to us about trade first, we just want currency and give us vouchers.

Simple and straightforward.

You can beg or threaten, but you must give us currency, we can't wait any longer.

Han Yi had already prepared 500,000 vouchers and put them in the northwest.

Of course, this money is not in the way of giving, because if you give it directly, it is not a voucher, but a piece of waste paper, and the entire monetary system will collapse, and it must be exchanged for the same amount of value. The entire voucher investment is roughly divided into three parts, and one part is placed in the gold bank in the northwest to be used for loans to merchants in the northwest. Part of it was used for this trade, and the imperial court bought some horses, leather, precious medicinal herbs, and so on. The last part is for construction, which includes road construction, market construction, and government construction.

The Northwest Government is the poorest government in the Tang Dynasty, because they don't have a fixed tax, which means that the Northwest businessmen hire them to do things, and the government collects how much tax it collects, which is according to the needs of the local people. The imperial court has not given any help, so Han Yi allocated a full 100,000 guan from 500,000 guan, which was specially used for the construction of government offices in various parts of the northwest, and all of them were used in relatively poor prefectures and counties.

For this investment plan, the businessmen in the northwest are very satisfied, because the investment in local projects and the loans put into the gold bank are all creating employment opportunities for the local people and bringing wealth to the local people, of course they are satisfied, and no one raises the slightest objection, because they also think that Han Yi will definitely protect their interests and will not harm them.

The Northwest businessmen are satisfied!

And over there, Chen Shuozhen left Chang'an almost at the same time as the Northwest merchants, and she also took away goods worth 100,000 yuan, although Han Yi did not say it explicitly, but judging from his attitude and actions, he hoped that this war would come as soon as possible.

100,000 pieces of goods is an unimaginable wealth for the Khitan people.

What is certain is that they can't take out so many goods to make a reciprocal exchange, so they need to use labor in exchange for these goods, and there will inevitably be a situation, that is, the Khitan merchants must increase production, then they have to recruit more labor to produce horse harness and leather, then more people will gather around them, their strength will become stronger and stronger, and more and more wealthy, based on the human nature of luxury and frugality, they will be more determined to go on, and to overthrow the old system.

Han Yi is all about speeding up the process.

......

Winter goes to spring.

The warm sun shines on the earth, but for many, many years, the sun has never been able to reach the house, and it has not allowed people to open their eyes lazily in the morning because of the sun.

What a shame it was to miss this wonderful moment.

But today, the warm spring sun finally shone into the Liangyi Temple.

"It's lit! It's lit up! My Liangyi Hall is lit up! ”

Li Zhi stood in front of a window, only to feel that his blurred eyes suddenly became bright, and he shouted unconsciously. He looked at the scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but raise his hand and stretch it out, and when he was halfway through, the coolness from his fingers made him immediately retract his hand, and then slowly stretched it out again, and suddenly turned his head to Han Yi and asked, "Is this --- this---。 ”

"Glass."

"Yes. Glass. Can this glass be touched? ”

"Absolutely." Han Yi nodded.

After Li Zhi got an affirmative answer, he stretched out his hand, gently touched the transparent glass like air, and said excitedly: "This is really amazing! It's amazing! ”

Zhang Wenguan and other ministers on the side also looked excited.

"It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life."

"It's... What exactly is this made of? ”

......

Li Zhi didn't listen to what the minister was saying at all, and asked Han Yi again, "Who invented this?" ”

Han Yi said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is jointly developed by Zhou Fei, a porcelain merchant in the West City, and the pottery workshop. Because of the technology in the glaze, for hundreds of years, we have not been as good as the Western Regions, which makes our businessmen feel very embarrassed, so in recent years, they decided to catch up and finally develop this more magical glass. After the minister found out, he thought that this glass might be of great help to His Majesty's body, so he immediately spent money to buy the first batch of glass from them, but because the quantity was extremely very limited, it could only be used for His Majesty's bedroom and Liangyi Hall for the time being, which was already all their glass. ”

"Good, good! Aiqing really has a heart! ”

Li Zhi was extremely moved when he heard this, and said: "Those businessmen are also worthy of praise, their spirit is the spirit that my Datang people should have, in any aspect, we Datang should strive to be the first, and we should be the first." ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty said it really well, our Tang Dynasty is the most powerful empire in the world today, no matter in any aspect, our civilization is the highest, our people are the smartest, in any aspect, we should not lag behind others." ”

Li Zhi laughed when he heard it, although his eyes were good and bad, but he witnessed the birth of a super empire, and it was born in his hands, he now has some confidence, saying that he has surpassed Li Shimin, he took a road that was not arranged for him by Li Shimin, and achieved great success, and said excitedly: "This is also in line with the concept that Aiqing has always adhered to, the agricultural and mulberry industry has reached a bottleneck, and only industry and commerce can make my Datang go further." ”

Although Zhang Wenguan didn't agree with them, they couldn't refute it until now. Everywhere, Hao Chujun asked, "This glass must not be cheap, right?" ”

They are very envious, they can sit in the sun and read a book, it is beautiful to think about.

Han Yi said: "It's more expensive for the time being, because there is no mass production, but with the large-scale production of merchants, the price should come down, if a certain commodity can't even be used by the prime minister, it is a very failed commodity, otherwise it is a dereliction of duty of our household department, I believe it won't be long before even our people can afford to use this glass." ”

In order to speed up the progress, the clay is to invite three groups of construction workers to work in turns, day and night, giving each craftsman two to three times the wage, as for the building materials or something, they are ready-made, because Chang'an City is engaged in construction, resulting in a large number of material dealers pouring into Chang'an, Chang'an has enough raw materials, in fact, in the New Year's Festival, the glass workshop has begun to produce.

Because Han Yi's technology is very mature, there is almost no need to delve into it, just do it directly.

Although the clay is honest, but after all, he is an old trader, he is not stupid, he spends several times the money in a hurry, and this must be earned.

Guanzhong Hotel.

"Wow! That's a lot of people! Hey? Mulberry, Chubby, you're all here! ”

When Yuwen Xiumi hurriedly came to the conference room of the Guanzhong Hotel, he found that it was crowded with people, and the huge conference room did not even have a place to sit, and all of them were the leading wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, including Sang Mu and Xiaopang, who rarely joined in the fun.

But he didn't have the time to greet everyone, and at a glance, he saw Zhou Fei and the clay sitting on the main seat, and immediately squeezed over, "Lao Tao, Lao Zhou, half a year ago, I knew that you must have made a big move, but I didn't expect you to make such a magical treasure." Now, don't say that buddy doesn't take care of your business, I'm going to order a batch of window glass from you, and if it's appropriate, we can sign a ten-year contract directly. ”

This was a plan that could not be missed, and if the merchant of Bede had applied glass to the carriage first, it might break the monopoly of his car dealership, so he was very nervous.

"Young Master Yuwen, we have always paid attention to the first come, the first to come, you stand behind."

Qian Dafang, who was sitting in the middle, shouted.

Yuwen Xiumi said angrily: "What does this glass have to do with you as a wine merchant? My carriage has windows, and as long as the few broken windows in your house, it's okay to buy them later. ”

Qian Dafang said: "Who said it doesn't matter, don't you know that this glass can still be used as a wine bottle?" ”

Yuwen Shumi was surprised: "Can you still make bottles?" Impossible. Didn't you say that the glass was used for windows? ”

"Don't be verbose, boy, go and stay in the back. In fact, it's already good that you can come in, you know the next room, and there are more than 20 Jiangnan businessmen waiting to talk to Lao Tao and Lao Zhou. ”

"Go, go, stand in the back."

.....

Clay and Zhou Fei tasted the tea without saying a word, only to feel that this tea was the most delicious tea they had ever drunk in their lives, not to mention tea, at this moment, even if they were given a cup of urine, they could taste the taste of wine, and they would never react, they drank urine, because they were so happy in their hearts. Especially that Zhou Fei, he was originally the largest porcelain merchant in the West City, but because of the rise of clay, he almost went bankrupt, it was really because he had to support him in the back, and then the market was too good, and the clay was too busy, so he developed again, this time it can be regarded as out of the limelight, you can pretend to be as much as you like.

It was the first time he felt that hundreds of people were holding the money and sending it to him, begging him to accept it, which was a very refreshing feeling.

But then again, if glass had appeared ten years ago, it would never have been such a sensation, and at most it would have been a luxury.

First of all, Yuwen Xiumi can't be in a hurry to buy car windows, cars are not commercialized, who would have thought of car windows, Xiaopang can't immediately run to hope to use glass for his cans, but now, it's different, it's like everyone has a bucket at home, but each bucket is missing a piece, if this piece is made into a commodity, then of course everyone will come to grab it.

Now the problem facing clay and weekly fees is not money, but production.
