Chapter 279: In the Eyes of Others
As long as it is a strategic material, there will be a policy of restricting trade, and it is better to do so in all dynasties.
In ancient times, cattle and horses, as a major means of transportation and power source, were naturally included in the list of restricted trades.
In particular, horses, as an important component of the formation of cavalry, in order to maintain their own mobile military superiority, the nomads have always had very strict control over the civilian horse trade.
But there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom.
After all, as nomadic people, their main means of livelihood is to raise horses, cattle and sheep, and many other necessities of life need to be obtained through trading or robbery with farming peoples.
In the same way, in order to suppress the nomads, these necessities of life are often on the list of restricted trades.
Among them, iron tools are the most restrictive.
Iron pots, shovels, iron kettles, etc., as long as everything related to iron, are all within the scope of restricted trade.
Naturally, the nomads would not stop eating because of the restriction of cooking utensils, and the iron tools obtained by robbing the farming people often had to be handed over to the state, first to ensure military use, and all the use of pottery and porcelain instead of iron for cooking became a compromise choice.
This time, Wen Qihang built a new brick kiln and burned a lot of paper-fired pottery, which is much cheaper than the cost of buying tea leaves to make tea bricks.
"San Lang, Zhu Xianling came to ask to see you, and he is waiting for you in the front hall."
Ping Sihai is doing a fierce ideological struggle, on the one hand, millions of money, on the other hand, his little sister, and about to fall into the clutches of Wen Qihang, both ends are reluctant!
"Okay, I'll go over here." Hearing the report of the stone, he heard the sound of sailing, and saw that Ping Sihai was still frowning, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Ping Darthead doesn't have to worry, think about it slowly, or go with me to meet Zhu Xianling first, I also just want to introduce you to it." ”
"Oh, good!" Ping Sihai, who was relieved, responded. Don't think about it yet, such a big deal is not something that can be decided in a few words, at least you have to go back to the house and ask your father first.
In the front hall of the Jue's Mansion, Zhu Xianling, who was waiting, looked quite cramped. If nothing happened, Zhu Xianling would rather choose to be killed than come to see and hear about it.
It is this seemingly harmless young lord who is harmless to humans and animals, just under his nose, from the beginning of a ploughing cow, to the current ploughing cattle transaction of up to one million, it is one link after another, one move after another, and thousands of opportunities step by step.
If you hadn't been involved in the incident from the beginning, you would have killed yourself, and you would only think that it was just a coincidence. But if you are involved in this before and after, I am afraid that no one will think that it is just a coincidence.
One can use the enemy in battle to be smart and adaptable, the other has the magic power of Zhuge Wuhou, and the other is a seamless young magnate who can combine people's hearts with the world, Zhu Xianling really doesn't think that he is qualified enough to collect debts.
Yes, it's debt collection.
If there is a transaction, there will be taxes, and the transaction of the cattle and horse market in Guanlou Village, he didn't care at first, not to mention that most of them are trading with some powerful people, if they come to collect taxes, they will be a seven-grade sesame official like themselves, as long as they are not beaten out, they are already very face-giving.
I thought about opening one eye and closing one eye to deal with the past. Who would have thought that this bastard would make a million-dollar deal alive. If you want to open your eyes and close your eyes to deal with this matter, it is on the corpse, even if you are not beheaded by the emperor, you will be impeached into a sieve by the imperial historians.
"Zhu County Order, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Walking into the front hall, he greeted the restless Zhu Xianling with a smile when he heard the sail.
"Thanks to the Lord, everything is fine." Zhu Xianling hurriedly got up and saluted Wen Qihang.
"Sit, you're welcome, when you come to the house, it's the same as your own home, don't see outside." After Wen Qihang motioned for Zhu Xianling to sit down, he said to Ping Shiyuan, who came in behind: "Secretary Ping, give Zhu Xianling a cup of tea." ”
“........ Be! Ping Shiyuan said angrily.
"Good tea!" Wen Qihang admonished.
"Okay, young master!" Ping Shiyuan gritted her teeth and said.
"Hey, let Zhu County Ling see a smile, the newly accepted maid hasn't been trained yet." Wen Qihang sighed lightly.
"Wenjue, that's how you usually call your sister?" Seeing the way Wen Qihang treated Ping Shiyuan, Ping Sihai's face turned dark.
"Ah, yes! Girl. Isn't it just a cup of tea and a pour of water, otherwise what else can I expect her to do? Wen Qihang wondered.
"Nothing else?" Ping Sihai was stunned.
"Something else? Sister Ling will also know! Wen Qihang said contemptuously: "It's good if you don't make trouble for me." ”
"........" is not too unacceptable if it is just serving tea and pouring water. As long as there are no other service projects, I want to come here for the past two months, and my little sister has not received too many grievances.
"Introduce Zhu Xian Ling, this is the young dart head of the Four Seas Dart Company." Seeing that Ping Sihai looked slightly stunned, he smelled a smug smile in Qihang's heart, and introduced him to Zhu Xianling.
"Ping has seen Zhu County's order." Ping Sihai got up and saluted Zhu Xianling.
Zhu Xianling smiled and nodded in appreciation: "The name of the Four Seas Dart Line in Beijing is like thunder, and the deeds of Ping Shao's dart head are often heard of by the official, especially this time the Four Seas Dart Line presented more than 600 horses to the imperial court, which is really admirable to the official." ”
"Zhu County's order is too famous." After Ping Sihai saluted again, he sat down.
"Don't be polite to the two of you, there will definitely be a lot of places you will have to deal with in the future. Get to know each other first, so that you can do it later. Wen Qihang said with a smile.
"Young Master, your tea!" The three of them chatted, and Ping Shiyuan stepped forward with tea and said viciously to Wen Qihang.
"Zhu Guanren, your tea." Ping Shiyuan smiled at Zhu Xianling and smiled.
"Fourth brother, you drink tea." Ping Shiyuan stuck out the tip of her tongue and said coquettishly to Ping Sihai.
"........" What kind of attitude is this! Treat them differently! Wen Qihang said: "I have told you many times, in the future, when you call court officials, you must call your position, and you are not allowed to call officials." ”
"Inexplicable!" Seeing and hearing that Qihang was angry for no reason, Ping Shiyuan pouted.
"Did you hear that?" Wen Qihang emphasized.
"Got it, I'll call Zhu County Ling, it's okay!" Ping Shiyuan said dissatisfied.
"It's good to know." Wen Qihang picked up the tea, took a sip, and vented the fire.
"........" It's okay to call you an official, but it's not okay to call someone else, it's simply unreasonable. Seeing the straight panting of Qihangqi, Ping Shiyuan pouted and muttered quietly.
