The sun generously sprinkled its splendor and heat on the earth, passionately scorching everything exposed to the daylight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The trees by the roadside changed from vigorous and vigorous haughty, and their high branches were lowered in the fierce sun, and they became weak and listless, and they wilted by the roadside.
Mi Zhu and Liu Chan and their entourage were also so hot and dry that they sweated profusely, and their clothes and pants were almost soaked.
They couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to find a small wooded forest lined with trees, go in to rest for a while, drink water and eat dry food to replenish their strength.
Mi Zhu and Liu Chan continued to discuss the way of business.
"Wow, it turns out that our Mi family is really a business family! I didn't expect my mother to be a businesswoman! Awesome! Liu Chan exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, our Mi family has indeed cultivated and done business for generations, and there have been many talents from generation to generation, both men and women. Your mother is also a heroine among women, a business wizard, which is called a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. Mi Zhu was quite complacent.
"Uncle, let me summarize briefly, your model is the integration of base, acquisition, processing, warehousing, and business, and one-stop production, supply, and marketing." In addition to being excited, Liu Chan accidentally said the expression of later generations.
Fortunately, Mi Zhu is a genius in business, Liu Chan explained a little, and he immediately understood that this was the case.
"Dou'er, you still have a lot of fresh stuff in your little mouth!" Mi Zhu expressed his appreciation for Liu Chan's concise and concise words.
"Uncle, can you tell Dou'er about the goods that can be used for circulation today?" Liu Chan said.
Mi Zhu thought for a while, such as a number of treasures: "Horses, camels, lacquer, wax, bamboo, wood, fur and other products in the north; Oriental ceramics, seafood, silk, silk fabrics, salt; salt, iron, and Shu brocade in the West; seafood, spices, pearls, shellfish, glaze, jade, tortoiseshell, rhino horn, ivory and exotic fruits from the South; Liaodong's fur and ginseng. The above products in the mainland of our Han Dynasty are all available, innumerable, and can be exchanged for nothing. ā
"There are many kinds of trade between the mainland and the Western Regions, and the Western Regions have shipped to the mainland such as sweat and blood, rare animals, birds, leather goods, medicinal herbs, spices, jewelry, grapes, pomegranates, broad beans, alfalfa, carrots, walnuts, flax, coriander, gourd, pepper, spinach (also known as Persian cuisine), melon, cucumber, sesame, tomato, red orchid and other plants, fruits and vegetables. Silk, ironware, gold, silverware, mirrors and other products were shipped from the interior to the countries of the Western Regions. You can also bring in the music of the turtles and the erhu and other instruments. ā
"Uncle is really well-informed, and I am dissatisfied with you when I say that I want to introduce plants, fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions, and I thought that there were no tomatoes, peppers, and carrots there, which was great. When the time comes, we can all eat these delicacies and enjoy these beautiful Western style songs and dances. Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "What about foreign trade?" ā
"The land route of overseas trade began with Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, and the route he opened up was divided into two routes, north and south, from Chang'an to Dunhuang. The South Road runs from Dunhuang through Loulan, Khotan, and Shache, crosses the Green Mountains to Dayueshi and Anxi, and goes west to Tiaozhi and Daqin; The north road goes from Dunhuang to Jiaohe, Qiuci and Shule, crosses the Green Mountains to Dawan, and goes west to Daqin via Anxi. Dahan mainly exported silk, porcelain, sugar, hardware, etc. overseas. Imports from overseas ranged from foreign slaves, entertainers, and kabuki to domestic animals and wild animals, furs, plants, spices, medicinal herbs, and pigments to gold, silver, jewelry, ores, metals, utensils, and horns, weapons, books, and musical instruments. Mi Zhu talked eloquently.
Liu Chan clapped his hands and applauded: "I really can't imagine that our Han foreign trade is so developed!" ā
"Foreign trade is also land and sea. Han merchants transported silk and porcelain to Boli, Funan, Lion Kingdom, Tianzhu, Persia, and Daqin by sea, and purchased spices and dyes to transport them back to Dahan, and Tianzhu merchants sold silk and porcelain to the Western Daqin countries. Mi Zhu continued.
"Uncle is really worthy of being a business wizard, and the world's commodity situation is under your control, worthy of the name of the business saint. Listening to your words today is better than reading a book for ten years. Dou'er admires it so much. If you don't continue to do business, it's a waste of talent. Liu Chan was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground, and he sighed sincerely.
"In this way, my uncle will once again travel all over the world with business, and the Chinese forces of our Han Dynasty will also pass through the world! Hahaha! Liu Chan's heart blossomed.
One of his stones fell to the ground completely, and said that Mi Zhu was moved, and doing business meant half the success.
The gray clouds obscured the sun, and the sky began to become gloomy, and they breathed a sigh of relief and continued on their way.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Mi Zhu and Liu Chan, who were in a hurry, finally arrived in Dangyang.
The governor of the Leilong battalion, Dangyang Taishou Lei Xu, the deputy governor and the general of Zhenyuan, Lai Gong, the supervising army Yi, the chief Shi Xiahou Xu, the army Peng Yi, Sima Dongyun, and the chief bookkeeper Fan Jian have been waiting at the city gate for a long time.
After a period of greetings, Lei Xu instructed Fan Jian to be responsible for counting the condolence materials, settling the other entourages and sergeants, and then led Mi Zhu, Zhao Yun, Xiang Lang, Liu Chan, Xiang Chong, Fu Tong, Xi Zhen, Yan Yu and others to the square in front of the county office.
The square is full of lights, dressed in red and green, arranged into a meeting place, there are hundreds of people sitting on the ground, and when they see General Zuo engaged in Zhonglang Mizhu and his party, they all stand up to say hello and say hello. The crowd was full of onlookers.
Liu Chan and others returned the salute one by one, according to Lei Xu, these are all officials and officials of Dangyang County, local squires and celebrities, and the ten townships have rank (Sifu), three elders, and Youxi, as well as pavilion chiefs, pavilion marquis, Li Zheng, fathers, and patriarch representatives.
"There are ranks, sirfers, three elders, and wanderers?" Liu Chan was surprised, and asked Xiang Lang next to him curiously: "Lord Xiang, what kind of officials are these?" ā
Although Liu Chan was familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, these Han Dynasty institutions and officials did not have a wide range of knowledge. It is even more unheard of for the most basic names such as rank, sifu, three elders, and wandering, which are somewhat strange and difficult to understand.
Liu Chan only knew that Liu Bang had once been the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion in Pei County, and because he was sympathetic to the suffering of the people, he let the prisoners go to Lishan to serve in labor without permission, and fled to Mangyu Mountain, and then rebelled in Pei County, called "Pei Gong".
Xiang Lang said: "Han Cheng Qin system, the state is divided into counties, the county is set up with townships, the countryside is placed in the li, the pavilion, and the ten pavilions are a township. The township has a rank (Sifu), three elders, and wandering, which are in charge of township politics, education, and public security; There is a lizheng or lidian; Residents imitate the army and the army, and place the chief and the army commander. There is a pavilion on Shili Road, and the pavilion has a pavilion chief, a pavilion marquis, who is in charge of public security and guards, and is also in charge of staying passengers, and governs civil affairs. Patrol to catch thieves. Pavilion chief, pavilion marquis, the main reconnaissance and capture of thieves. The county lieutenants, wanderers, and pavilion chiefs all practiced martial arts, carrying swords and swords, and holding shields and armor. ā
"I see, Dou has been taught." Liu Chan arched his hand.
