"General, there are a few large caravans in the city, and they have sent a prayer post," Feng Daiwen, who had arranged for Yuan Tiangang and a few people to rest, just sat down and received a prayer post from the guards.

Feng Daiwen opened it and said to himself: "It turned out to be the Wang family and the Boling Cui family, interesting ,,," Feng Daiwen understood that Li Shimin chose the Wang family and the Boling Cui family with the five surnames and seven wangs, the Wang family should be the coal of Taiyuan, and now the five surnames and seven wangs are headed by the Qinghe Cui family, and the Lu family is followed by the Zheng family through the former prince Li Jiancheng, and the Li family is keeping a low profile because Li Yuan became the emperor, Li Shimin should be suppressing them, and the two families selected this time are weaker.

"Invite them in," Feng Daiwen instructed the guards:

"Taiyuan Dafang Wang family, Wang Yan, Boling Cui family Dafang, Cui Tao, have seen Hou Ye" The two elegant men saluted Feng Daiwen who was waiting at the door of the hall: Wang Yan, the eldest son of the current head of the Wang family, Cui Tao, the third son of the head of the Boling Cui family, of course, they are not here to do business, there are other people who lead the caravan, and the two are here to talk to Feng Daiwen about things.

"I've seen two of them in Xia Feng Daiwen, two of them came from afar, hard work all the way, please inside," Feng Daiwen replied: Feng Daiwen guessed the intention of the two, and beckoned the two into the hall.

"Master Hou is really young and promising, my uncle Wang Jue has always said that the five generals of the Feng family are all extraordinary, and when I see them today, I know that they are worthy of their reputation," After everyone sat down, Wang Yan took the lead in praising Feng Daiwen with a smile:

"Elder Wang has won the award, but the saint's love is so generous," Feng Daiwen was tired of hearing this statement for a long time, and replied modestly.

"Sage love, let a certain two families come to Shuofang to exchange markets this time, I don't know how the Hou Ye here arranged, we need to do something," Cui Tao asked on the side:

"So let's talk straight to the point, the saint is gracious, affectionate, I believe that the two of you have already negotiated, Taiyuan has a large number of coal mines, easy to mine, and not far from Chang'an, Hebei is suitable for planting white stacks that is, cotton, these two items are a lot of things needed after the Tang Dynasty, you are very wise to choose the right one, I can guarantee you that doing business is better than farming, at least 100 times the income, now you have more food, but in two years you will find out, The little food you had before was nothing. Feng Daiwen thought about it and said:

"Hou Ye is talking about three crops of rice," Wang Yan asked: After all, the family has a large number of people in the court, and of course they know it, but they don't know the specific situation.

"Yes, in the future, it will only be Huainan, and the output of Guanzhong will be enough for the whole country, and Shuzhong, Jiangnan, and Lingnan will produce grain every year after two years, and the official warehouses of the whole country will be full," Feng Daiwen said confidently:

"Hou Ye's words are true," Cui Tao asked in surprise:

"Of course, there is no need to lie to you, Lingnan has already begun to plant, according to the recent news, this year's first season of rice, on the harvest of 1 million stone official grain, you must know that there are not many people in Lingnan, you should have seen your silk, salt iron, cotton clothes, you think you can compare, you must know that this thing is very cheap in the Western Regions, not to mention that we can grow ourselves, even if you can plant, how can you use it, Yanlingnan has enough people to eat, and now it is developing Quanzhou, Guangzhou, The two major salt fields, in the future, I will be able to exchange salt for other countries, iron, I have the latest forging method, you can build a little farm tools at most in the future," Feng Daiwen refuted their output one by one:

The two have managed the family for many years, and naturally understand how sad it is if a family has no business, a big family, to maintain expenses, support so many people to study, live, but if there is no money then it has to slowly decay, although there are many officials in the court, but after all, the officials are controlled by the emperor, maybe there will be no that day,

The more the two of them listened, the more ugly their faces became, "Please also ask the Hou Ye to make it clear," Wang Yan to:

"What do you think is the main cause of the chaos in the world?" asked Feng Daiwen:

"Hou Ye means that it is caused by our family," Cui Tao asked with a frown.

"Yes, but I'm not saying that it's the two of you, the big family, the family and the country, your education is to have a family in the country first, and you have been staring at the land for thousands of years, and your favorite is the annexation of land, and you can't see it at the beginning of the founding of the country, the population is large, the land is not enough, and if the land is not enough, there will inevitably be a lack of food, which is the reason for the chaos in the world." Feng Daiwen said quietly:

"Hou Ye's words are unfair, in my opinion, the faint monarch is incompetent, and the number of corrupt officials is the key. And it is impossible for the family to take out the land and divide it for no reason, even if it is divided, what will happen if there are more people in the future, after all, the land in this world is limited," Wang Yan said with a smile:

"Haha, yes, the faint king is one of them, but the annexation of land by the family is also one of them, I tell you this, not to say that it is against the family. But to make you understand. If you just stare at the land. In a few years, there will be many wealthy families in Datang who are richer than you. Feng Daiwen said with a smile:

As for the limited land you mentioned, in my opinion, I don't think so, this world is very big, very big, and my Datang is just a small piece, a very small piece of land. Feng Daiwen continued:

"Hehe, that's what Master Hou said." Cui Tao said disappreccantly:

"You don't believe it? Do you know how many countries are further west in the Western Regions? Not to mention Daqin, Egypt is bigger than Datang, the whole territory of Tianzhu is closer, Persia, Guishan, that one is not bigger than the current Datang place, the grasslands are all Datang sooner or later, the South China Sea countries, the Western Regions countries, overseas and continents, there is a continent that is much larger than the current Tang Dynasty There are no people on it now, not even savages, there are countless bison, wild horses, wild sheep, and a continent, which is even bigger, and the people above are still using stone weapons, how much can you know," Feng Daiwen glanced at Cui Tao contemptuously:

"Even if what Hou Ye said is true, tens of thousands of miles away, what's the use of taking it." Cui Tao's face flushed and retorted:

"Hehe, the official doesn't distinguish with you, you didn't come to listen to the official say this, just talk about this transaction, in principle, you can trade, the first must pay taxes, the second Shuo side needs a lot of grain, you have to divide it out, to ensure that you need to supply in the future, of course, the Governor's Mansion will give money, the price must not be too high, the third exchange of horses must be sold to the government, the fourth price must be unified, you can't have a price, I have a price, you have discussed it and hand it over, the Governor's Mansion will post it, everyone is a price, You can't deceive, shoddy, and lose the face of Datang, you have to inform everyone, if you find that you don't follow the rules, don't say that the official is unpredictable when the time comes. Feng Daiwen said with a smile:

"I will notify you of your request, and I will definitely do it." Wang Yan saw that Feng Daiwen was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly said:

"That's good, Boling will start planting a large amount of cotton next year, you have to be ready, you only need to go to the sunny mountains, the government will be responsible for the purchase, there will be no shortage of your money, and it will definitely not be worse than planting grain." Feng Daiwen to:

"In this way, thank you, my lord, I will show the head of the family when I go back next time, and I will definitely prepare according to the meaning of the Hou Ye." Cui Tao said happily:

"Okay, everyone is busy, so the official won't keep you." Feng Daiwen got up to see off the guests:

"Master Hou stays, I'll wait to leave." The two hurriedly got up and said goodbye,,,,。
