Chapter 802: A Gentle Knife

When Jiang Hao was young, Jiang Hao led the prince and others to come, and Jiang Yu was taken aback when he saw Zhou Kongmeng:

"Father, she ......"

King Xian raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"This is General Zhou Kong, General Zhou."

"She's Zhou Kong!" The prince was stunned, and he wanted to take a second look. Busy is to turn his eyes and talk about business: "Father, the crown princess asked people to come to send a letter to her sons, and King Jin may withdraw his troops and strike the war in the near future." ”

King Xian was deeply surprised when he heard the news:

"Oh, is the news exact!"

"It was Xihuan who sent people to report, but it was not confirmed by the Jin envoy Ma Zhongning in person, and the news of Xu is King Jin has not yet arrived."

After the prince finished speaking, Lu Gao stepped forward and said:

"The king, although there is a crown princess to rely on, but we must still take precautions, we should continue to increase the number of troops to show the strength of our army, so as not to resurrect the king of Jin and set off the heart of war again."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Baili Yan Road.

King Xian thought for a moment and said:

"What the two Aiqing said is extremely true, and the matter of increasing troops cannot be delayed. Now that it is the end of the year, and the Marquis of Lao Yongxing has to give up his family to guard the frontier for the widow, is Aiqing willing to go to the town to guard it? ”

"The king's edict will not give up!"

Baili Yan cut the railway, and King Xian patted his thigh and said:

"Okay, the Marquis of Yongxing will set off for Jiangdong tomorrow, and the Jin people must not underestimate the strength of the widows!"

"Nachen and General Zhou immediately retired and prepared to send troops."

"Quasi-play!"

After finishing speaking, Bailiyan and Zhou Kong retired first, and when they walked out of Bailing Garden and joined the little lotus seed, Bailiyan hurriedly asked Zhou Kong:

"What the king said to you, you can speak for three quarters of an hour."

Zhou Kong held his head high, his eyes looked at Baili Yan, and he looked proud:

"King Xian has an order, and he must not tell you."

After saying that, Zhou Kong turned around and walked first, and Baili Yanmeng was stunned:

"Hey...... You woman......"

It wasn't until many years later that Bai Liyan learned that King Xian and Zhou Kong didn't say anything else, just chatting about life. Zhou Kong didn't say it, first, there was nothing to say, second, he said that Bailiyan would not necessarily believe it, and third, there was another sound outside the words of King Xian, and if he said it to Bailiyan through Zhou Kong's mouth, the taste and intention would be greatly reduced, not only was it not a good thing, but it might be extraordinary.

Walking out of the Bailing Garden, the two of them immediately left the palace. When he came out of Yongtai Gate, a man in his early forties dressed in an indigo moire silk brocade coat greeted him:

"Excuse me, your Excellency is the Marquis of Yongxing."

Baili Yan looked at the human face carefully, but it must be a bit of a reason to appear outside the Yongtai Gate, otherwise the forbidden army on the periphery would have blasted him away.

"What advice do you have?"

Bai Liyan asked, and the man took out the famous post and handed it over:

"My master has invited Yongxing Hou to Baicui Pavilion for a while."

"Your master!"

Bailiyan was vigilant, but when she looked at the famous post, the word "Fang Bo" was eye-catching.

"What's the matter with your master?"

"Yongxinghou will know when he goes."

"Alright, you wait."

After speaking, Bai Liyan looked back at Zhou Kong and said:

"General Zhou, let's go back to the house first, Ben Hou is going to see an old man."

"If you go, you can go and tell me something."

Zhou Kong loves to ignore it, and he looks indifferent. Bai Liyan shook her head helplessly and said:

"You, you, just don't forgive."

Turning over and getting on the horse, Bailiyan went to Baicui Building with the people.

Baicui Lou is Xihuan in the name of the Prince's Mansion, following the example of Xuan Pavilion Pavilion to open a wine restaurant, which is basically the dishes and business model of the Xuan Pavilion of the cottage, which has a great impact on the business of Xuan Pavilion, especially many dishes have no technical content, and you can get pregnant at a glance.

Baicuilou is located in the core of the city in the west, previously the slum dwellings and workshops are located, after the economic prosperity of the Lingling, the west of the city has great signs of moving closer to the east of the city, the outer area of the west of the city has now been reduced to a commercial area, and continues to advance to the west of the city, the price of land is also rising day by day.

Bailiyan had never considered the issue of land price before, and only thought that there would be no food at the moment, so where would there be a housing price problem.

However, after the large-scale annexation and development of the west of the city, especially the rebels retreated to Xianxi, the elite forces of the Qinwang army took root in the Chenling area, and saw that the economy of the city was becoming more and more prosperous, and the business of Yongxing City was booming, so they competed to open business stores in the Chenling real estate, specializing in the trade of Yongxing City.

As a result, the price of land in the city also rose, so Bailiyan bought a large amount of land in the west of the city in the name of Yongxing Marquis four years ago in case of emergency.

First, buying land as soon as possible and waiting for appreciation is a drop in the bucket for commercial groups such as Yongxing Houfu, and second, selling it in the future to suppress land prices, so that land prices and housing prices will not affect municipal demolition and urban planning.

At present, the New Deal only covers all arable and non-arable land outside the cities, far from the perfection of the nature of the land, and the land in the cities is still the privileged area of the aristocracy, which cannot be acquired and expropriated by administrative force, and it is much more effective to curb it by economic means.

Soon riding a horse to the front of the Baicui Building, the huge signboard is extremely eye-catching. Constrained by construction engineering technology, it is rare to see three-storey wooden buildings at present, and this Baicui Building is a three-storey wooden structure, which is extremely exquisite and ingenious, with a restaurant on the first floor, an open dining restaurant on the second floor, and a private room on the third floor.

Handing over Feiyu to the guards, Baili Yan followed the people to the third floor. When he reached the entrance of the third floor, Ji Jinsheng was wearing civilian clothes and ten guards guarding the aisle, and the third floor was silent and had been emptied in advance. Seeing this, Bai Liyan knew that most of the people who came here today would not be Uncle Fang, but Xihuan.

Seeing Ji Jinsheng, Bai Liyan raised her hand and gave a slight salute:

"General Ji."

"Yongxing Hou, please!"

"Is it Xihuan?" Bailiyan asked.

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

"That's good."

After a short conversation, Bailiyan continued to walk inside. Ji Jinsheng has been in his fifties in recent years, and he acts very low-key on weekdays, but his private activities are extremely rampant, and he has lived in Lingling for more than ten years.

Continuing to walk inside, he soon saw Gu Chen, Xihuan's personal attendant, guarding outside a room.

Gu Chen is also an old figure around Xihuan, not only did he enter the tomb with Xihuan, but when he was in Pingtang, Gu Chen was also Xihuan's personal attendant since childhood. It can be said that Xihuan was raised by Gu Chen since he was a child, and he is now over fifty years old, but he is still doing shady things.

Sometimes Bailiyan is also curious, when people reach high places, why don't they retreat bravely.

"Take care of things."

Baili Yan gave a slight salute, and Gu Chen pushed open the door with his hands:

"Yongxing Hou, please!"

"Thank you."

Entering the house, Xihuan was sitting on the seat collapse, the air was filled with the aroma of tea, and then Gu Chen casually closed the door from the outside, and there were only Xihuan and Bailiyan in the room.

"Brother Swallow, please take a seat."

Xihuan's tone was soft, without the slightest bit of sharpness and ruthlessness before, and turned a lot calmer. The more this is the case, the more vigilant Bailiyan is of the viciousness under Xihuan's appearance. He stood up and asked:

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess invited this marquis to come, I don't know why?"

"Does Brother Yanzi have to be so unkind?"

"It's not that Benhou Benhou is not close to people, His Royal Highness is the crown princess, Benhou should not meet here in private, but since he has come, he should have respected and humiliated Benhou and did not dare to slack off and trespass."

Don't look at Xihuan lowering his figure, no one knows if Xihuan is cheating, in case a basin of dirty water is splashed on his body, Jiang Yu will ascend the throne in the future, it will be easy to find if he is not happy.

Seeing that Bailiyan was unmoved, Xihuan's posture did not change and continued:

"Brother Yanzi, you and I have also had a fate, and now this is not my intention. But being in a princely family and a woman, I also have difficulties. For the sake of years of acquaintance, can Brother Yan give me a thin face and raise his noble hand. ”

"Hehe......" Bai Liyan sneered: "Why did Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess say this, Benhou never remembered when he was sorry for His Highness, let alone raise his noble hand, His Highness might as well have something to say." ”

"Okay then." Xihuan straightened his face, picked up the tea set on the table and warmed it in his hand, and said after a little thought: "Presumably Brother Yan also knows that my brother is about to retire, but it is not without requirements. ”

"Whether the King of Jin withdraws or not, he has not yet received news from the Jin Kingdom, how can Ben Hou believe the words of the crown princess only after listening to it. As for the request, it should be submitted by the king of Jin to my king, if the king of Jin has this face. ”

"Brother Yan, don't get me wrong, my brother Wang didn't ask for it, but asked my brother Wang to withdraw from the army, and my uncle had to convince my mother, and to persuade my mother in exchange for the support of the foreign court, it had to be advantageous, didn't it.

Now my mother has promised a lot of profits, but if my uncle can't cash it in, my dishonesty is small, and in the future, Brother Wang will use troops in Xianguo, and I am afraid that no one will come forward for Xianguo, and I, the crown princess, will be considered to be the end. ”

"The king promised a new business envoy and Yin Yangjun, what else do you want!"

"Although the business envoy is good, it is a false position, and in the end, he doesn't have to pass the level of Brother Yan."

"Then how does Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess want Benhou to raise his hand?"

"Brother Yan sits in Yongxing City, the department store makes a lot of profits every year, and my uncle is not greedy, if Brother Yan can give up 20% of the goods in Yongxing City and my uncle at this price, he will be able to say anything in the future."

"Hehe, it's really a good business, why doesn't the crown princess let Ben Hou post it upside down!"

Yongxing City exports about 50% of the total output value of commodities to foreign countries every year, and the remaining 50% comes from internal digestion and reserves. With the current market consumption capacity of the Xian country, the country can only digest 30 percent, and the other 20 percent is used to hoard reserves for war needs.

On the one hand, the foreign market cannot be opened, on the other hand, the main domestic consumption force comes from Yongxing, Yingling and Dujun, and the rest of the counties have poor economies and low consumption power of the people.

For example, other counties can have two-fifths of the economic strength of the county, and the current production capacity of Xianguo can not only be easily digested internally, but also in short supply, so the production capacity of Yongxing City is a preliminary calculation and set an index.

Xihuan opened his mouth is to transfer two percent of the production capacity to Fang Bo at cost price, equivalent to 40 percent of the total exports, even if the total production capacity of Yongxing remains unchanged, with the market and population base of the Jin Kingdom, the consumption capacity of the middle and upper classes with consumption capacity can not be satisfied, and it is bound to form a market pattern in which strange goods can be lived in, and the demand is far greater than the supply.

At that time, the lower cost and higher selling price will bring huge income to the ruling class and aristocratic interest groups of the Jin State, and at the same time fatten the Jin State, Xihuan will rely on its ability to create wealth in the Xian State, and its status in the Jin State is bound to rise.

If Yongxing City's production capacity continues to expand, the 20% share will not only be enough for the Jin State to monopolize its domestic consumer market, but also further penetrate the Song and Zhiguo markets, squeezing the Xianguo economy out of the local area. The loss of taxes and profits was accompanied by an economic crisis caused by the loss of the market.

Of course, Bailiyan can choose to refuse, but since Xihuan chose to suddenly stab gently at this juncture, it is obvious that if her appetite is not satisfied, the matter of the Jin army's withdrawal will be uncertain, if she agrees, Fang Bo is a leech lying on Xianguo's body and constantly sucking blood.
