Chapter 1892: Surprises
Today's people, but not as lazy as when they were self-sufficient, in the past, the people were self-employed, free to plan their time, now they are working in the workshop, then they are required to become very rigorous, and under the stimulation of the general environment, the people are full of energy, just do it, because time is money.
So the suburbs soon began to start construction, in fact, the board has been built, it looks very beautiful, the people have come to see, all are very satisfied, this is actually the change brought about by the progress of production technology, now to build a house, that is a standard size, and there are a large number of technical craftsmen, not the same as before, are built by the people themselves, the wood does not need to be planed very neatly, are very simple.
As for this material, of course, it is mainly wood, supplemented by bricks and tiles, and cement is generally used for roads, fences, and some public construction.
Because this is for the people, the people are already used to living in wooden houses, and if the sudden change is too big, they may not be able to adapt to it for a while, and the timber building of the house is much faster, so that it can fit the whole plan. Having said that, even if the people are willing, the current cement output will not be able to meet this big project, because the construction in the city still needs a lot of cement, and the cement is basically in a state of supply.
In comparison, this timber is ready-made, it is directly transported from the Daming Palace, which may also be unique, the people build houses, transport materials from the palace, this is completely the opposite!
Generally, palaces are built in palaces and materials are snatched from the people.
This is mainly because of the emergence of cement, but to reduce the use of wood in the palace, Daming Palace does not need so much wood, and Daming Palace only builds a dormitory for the time being, and the emperor is settled. In addition, the construction of Daming Palace is also under construction at the same time.
It can be said that Daming Palace has provided a lot of materials for the whole plan, which can make the whole plan implement immediately.
But these are only superficial things, and the essence is to stimulate the economy.
The wages of the construction workers, that is the daily settlement, they get money in their hands, not rice, not silk, then they must consume.
Chang'an market immediately burst with vitality!
Although it was said that the crisis was out of the crisis, the whole market was still half-dead, either because of the lack of goods, or because of the lack of currency, although the labor bill had been promulgated a long time ago, but most of the merchants still distributed food, because of the rise of Jiangnan, a large amount of currency was sucked away, and they did not have much currency in their hands.
North Lane!
"Man, bring me ten jars of fruit wine."
But when I saw a rough man, he came to the Qian family wine shop and shouted loudly.
"Oops! It turned out that Jianggong was here! ”
A big fat man greeted him with a smile.
"Yikes! Old money, you're here too! ”
"I'm just here to take a look."
This big fat man is Qian Dafang.
And the man's name is Jiang Tong, and he is a foreman in the construction team of Fengfeilou, so the neighbors call him Jiang Gong.
Don't look at the family is just a foreman, but he has already made a fortune.
Qian Dafang smiled: "What? Invite the brethren to drink again! ”
Jiang Tong nodded and said: "The brothers have been working day and night these days, and it has been very hard, and it has been raining for the past two days, and I can't work on the construction site, so I plan to invite the brothers to have a good meal." ”
Qian Dafang said: "The imperial court has such a big project, you are going to make a fortune this time!" ”
Jiang Tong said angrily: "Old money, you can save it, we people, no matter how rich we are, we can't compare to you!" Aren't all my wages thrown away from you these days? ”
Qian Dafang pointed at Jiang Tong with a smile and said, "It is worthy of Brother Han's person, this speech is thorny!" ”
While talking, a guy ran over and said, "Brother Jiang, this wine has been prepared!" ”
Jiang Tong took out a large handful of vouchers from his sleeve and handed them to the bookkeeper.
Qian Dafang hurriedly said: "Wait!" How is it a voucher, aren't the wages you pay the latest copper coins? ”
Jiang Tongdao: "Originally, it was a copper coin, but it was really inconvenient to use, I asked our mulberry manager to exchange it for a voucher for us, and the mulberry manager said, although the new vouchers have not yet come out, but you can take the old voucher to exchange, if you don't believe it, you can call someone to change it now, if you can't exchange it, come to me." ”
Qian Dafang smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Han asked you to do this, right?" ”
"Brother Han is so busy, where is there an air traffic to control us." Jiang Tong didn't know Qian Dafang's thoughts, and said: "Old Qian, I said that you are good at everything, even if you are a little shrewd." You don't want to think about it, back then, our little brother Han just went home to keep filial piety, and what happened to you. With Brother Han here, this voucher will definitely not be invalid, if Brother Han is not there, if it is not valid, you will not be much better. ”
You still need to say that! Qian Dafang said embarrassedly: "I'll just talk about it, what are you really talking about!" ”
......
At the same time, Han Yi is also going to Xishi with Wang Xuandao and Zheng Shanxing to inspect the market, stimulating the economy is the essence of the whole plan, if the economy cannot be stimulated, Han Yi cannot agree to Yan Liben's construction plan, so they must observe the changes in the market, which is also the most different point between being an official now and being an official before, the former officials are sitting in the government every day.
Many people along the way are greeting them, their group of important ministers, really won the hearts of the people, because they have been in the people before, dealing with the people, so there is no such feeling of superiority, and the eldest grandson Wuji They are different, many people have not seen the eldest grandson Wuji at that time, but Han Yi's words, everyone has seen it.
"There are a lot of people who are good at trading, but there is really no one who can analyze the market so thoroughly like Shang Shuling."
Wang Xuandao couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the West Market had become prosperous all of a sudden.
In fact, what Han Yi did was not to issue currency, but just such an ordinary action immediately made the entire market come alive, you know, this is still the beginning now, and when the new vouchers come out, it is even more unimaginable.
Han Yi said with a smile: "When you were reading the books of sages, I was in the market, if I am still worse than you in this aspect, then why should I gain a foothold in the court." ”
Zheng Shanxing said: "Shang Shuling is really modest, there are many people who are mixed in the market, but it is ....... to be mixed to the point of you!" ”
Han Yi immediately said, "And Han Xin." ”
Zheng Shanxing and Wang Xuandao were stunned, and couldn't help but think of Han Yi when he first came to the ramp, he compared himself to Han Xin, and many people laughed at him at that time, but now?
He really has that qualification.
"Isn't that Yan Shangshu?"
Wang Xuandao suddenly looked at the front and said.
Han Yi raised his eyes and saw Yan Liben walking with a few officials, watching and shouting, "Yan Shangshu." ”
Yan Liben stared at it, and immediately walked over quickly, "It's Brother Han!" ”
Wang Xuandao and Zheng Shanxing bowed.
"Why are you here?"
Although Yan Liben's official position is not as high as Han Yi's, his age is there, and his title is relatively casual.
Han Yi said with a smile: "We just released the ya, and we are going to come here to eat, and by the way, we will come here to inspect it." What about you? ”
Yan Liben said: "If there is a problem with the planning here, the old man will come over to take a look." ”
Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Yan Shangshu, how old are you, leave this little thing to the people below to do, if they can't even do this little thing, your plan is doomed to failure." ”
Yan Liben half-jokingly said: "The old man is not as good as you, especially your little brother Han, who has made a lot of contributions, the old man has neither the ability to govern the country nor the ability to expand the territory, so he relies on this construction plan to leave a name in the history books, and he has to do his best!" ”
"Yan Shangshu, you are too modest, the paintings on the voucher are all from you, it is difficult for you not to live for a hundred years."
Han Yi smiled and said, "As the so-called invitation is better than a chance encounter, let's have a light meal together." ”
Yan Liben looked a little hesitant.
"It's not done."
Han Yi pulled Yan Liben and walked towards the Tongxiong shop on the side.
As soon as a few people came to Tongxiong Shop, they saw an old man walking out quickly, and said to them again and again: "Oops! Several distinguished guests came to the door, Zhang missed the welcome, forgive the sin! Forgiveness! ”
This old man is Zhang Tong, and the Tongxiong shop is named after him and Brother Xiong.
Han Yi quipped: "Uncle Tong, you are worth now, you still need to stand in the storefront!" ”
Zhang Tong smiled and said: "Shang Shuling, don't make fun of the old man, Xiaopang often comes here to go around, and he also makes steamed buns himself, what is this old decay." Inside please, inside please. ”
Now ten Zhang Tong is not as good as Brother Xiong's net worth.
A few of them sat directly under the wooden shed outside, because Han Yi wanted to see more of the market's reaction.
"Uncle Tong, how is your business lately?"
"Business has been so good these days, and the income has finally returned to a few years ago."
Zhang Tong said very happily.
Back a few years ago, he was so happy, which shows how much of a shadow the crisis left on them.
The most obvious response to this stimulus policy is that in the food industry, whoever has money in his hands will eat first, and then wear and play.
During the chat, I suddenly heard the person on the side: "This --- can't be written by Mr. Cui, right?" How could this old Mr. Cui speak for the businessman? ”
Han Yi turned his head to look and saw two young men dressed as scholars sitting at the corner table, holding a newspaper and reading, and said in surprise: "That doesn't seem to be Datang Daily." ”
Zhang Tong hurriedly said: "Brother Han is really good eyesight, that is the Shizu Daily." Shang Shuling, today's Shizu Daily has suppressed your Datang Daily, you see, your Datang Daily is all piled up in the house. ”
Han Yi was surprised and said: "How is this possible, how can those old men write pedantic articles, how can they steal the limelight of my Datang Daily." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two coughs full of dissatisfaction.
Han Yi turned his head and saw Zheng Shanxing looking at him with a displeased face, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take back what I just said." ”
Wang Xuandao said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Shang Shuling said this, just to prove that he was born in the market and was more popular." ”
Han Yi said: "This is the benefit of reading sage books, scolding people without leaving a trace." ”
Wang Xuandao smiled stingily and said, "It made Shang Shuling smile." ”
Han Yi laughed and asked again: "Seriously, what kind of trick has your Shizu Daily played recently, and it actually overpowered my Datang Daily, this is really... It's kind of incredible. ”
Wang Xuandao shook his head and said, "I don't know this, the Shizu Daily has always been in charge of our elders. ”
The scholars and doctors of King Cui Lu Zheng have now caught up with the trend, no longer sit and talk about it, and publish their own articles in the Shizu Daily every day, promoting their own ideas and commenting on current affairs, although they are not as popular as the Datang Daily, but they are a group of very loyal readers, that is, those scholars.
Han Yi said: "This is the most curious place. ”
If you want to talk about sarcasm, who can compare to you Brother Han! Zheng Shanxing said secretly, and suddenly walked towards the passage: "Uncle Tong, please bring a copy of the Shiclan Daily to come." ”
"Okay, you wait a minute."
Zhang Tong turned around and entered the house, and after a while, he walked out with a daily newspaper of the scholars.
Zheng Shanxing took the newspaper and opened it on the table.
"Business?"
The four of them spoke in unison.
The tone was full of surprise.
The term "Shang Dao" may have only been mentioned a few times by Han Yi verbally, and the book he wrote was also called Economics, not "Shang Dao", because this "Dao" represented thought in ancient times, and it was a high level of learning, and Shang has always been very despised.
The four of them looked down again, and the more they looked, the more surprised they became.
The content in it is really business, because it is a kind of thought, not teaching people to make money, which is very different from Han Yi's economics, Han Yi's economics is just a theory, a law, teaching people to manage money, and it is of an educational nature, although there are some ideas in it, but it must not be classified as philosophy.
The article is full of philosophy.
The contents can be roughly divided into two main parts.
The first part, pettiness and frugality.
Part II, Fraud and Honesty.
The first group can be said to be synonymous, but one derogatory and one praise.
The second part is also a disparagement, but it is an antonym.
And the former is everyone's consistent perception of businessmen, and the latter is everyone's consistent perception of gentlemen.
Han Yiguang looked at this headline and knew why the limelight of Datang Daily was overshadowed, which is indeed very attractive.
"This article is really well written!"
Zheng Shanxing watched it back and forth, and couldn't help but shake his head in agreement, as if this content was very much in line with his opinion.
Four words, it is a clever combination of Confucianism and businessmen, the key is to say that it is very reasonable, not randomly put together, attracting people's attention.
Businessmen are stingy, which is known to everyone and has always been ridiculed. However, the content of this article believes that stinginess is the basis of a businessman's success, but the premise is that a businessman should also be stingy with himself and himself, which is actually thrifty, and it argues that a businessman should be more diligent, hardworking, and thrifty than a gentleman in order to succeed.
Because the plaything is demoralized, the businessman has money in his hands, once the plaything is demoralized, there is a chance that it will fail, and wealth for businessmen, it can breed more wealth, if you squander the wealth, then you can't succeed, there is this conclusion, the basic quality of a successful businessman is thrift.
This is very true, the merchant has to continue to invest the money, and if he can't make a little money, he will squander it, and sooner or later he will lose everything. There are also examples in the article.
As for fraud and honesty, it is even easier to say, because now the imperial court is advocating credit, and it is difficult for dishonesty to gain a foothold under this rule, especially for merchants, if the farmer is dishonest, he just stays at the edge of the field, he does not need to deal with people, merchants have to deal with people every day.
It's just that a lot of sage words are used in the article, in fact, the words of the sage are related to governing the country and being a man, but this article is cleverly used on businessmen, which is also very reasonable.
Han Yi was ecstatic in his heart, this is actually what he has always wanted, but he always misses the essentials, because this kind of article requires real skills, and the study of Confucianism is very thorough, so that it can be used skillfully, and what Han Yi lacks the most is the real ability, although the six studies of the sage are successful, but the six studies of the sage are just to establish a scientific system, because the ancient sciences are very scattered, and the six studies of the sage are to combine those scattered learning, in fact, it is still on the surface.
After reading it, Han Yi asked Zheng Shanxing with a puzzled face, "You really don't know about this?" ”
Zheng Shanxing and Wang Xuandao shook their heads. Zheng Shanxing said again: "This is not like an article written by Uncle Cui. ”
Wang Xuandao nodded.
Han Yi asked, "Who is this Cui Guoxiu?" ”
Zheng Shanxing said: "Uncle Cui is Cui Jijian's cousin, who has always lived in Qinghe before, and only came to Chang'an three years ago to be in charge of this Shizu Daily. ”
"Cui Jiblade?"
Han Yi frowned.
Wang Xuandao frowned slightly and said, "Although Brother Cui is talented, he may not be able to write such a sophisticated article. ”
Yan Liben stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Cui family has many sages, and there are only articles, so why worry about it." ”
These old people, they are very admiring of the Qinghe Cui clan.
Han Yi glanced at Yan Liben, nodded slightly, and thought, could it be that the Cui family really still has such a character?
Because there is a lot of connotation in this article, Confucianism is really like a doctrine in contemporary times, it is deeply recognized by everyone, and businessmen are like mice, they are deeply despised by everyone, this article is actually helpful to the development of businessmen, if there is an aura of Confucianism, then businessmen do not need to be inferior, nor do they need to be restricted, they will be recognized by everyone soon.
It's also very positive and meaningful.
The most important thing is that this is an article written by someone from the Cui family, not to mention that Han Yi can't write it, even if Han Yi can write it, it is estimated that the result will be scolded, and then everyone began to argue again, this Cui family's people can be accepted more quickly, because the Cui family's reputation is there, respected by intellectuals, the key is that they are not businessmen, and it is fairer for him to discuss businessmen.
What a big surprise!
But before Han Yi came back to his senses, an officer suddenly came to the front of the store, hugged his fists and said, "See Shang Shuling." ”
Han Yi looked back and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The humble position is on the order of Sikong, please come over."
