Soon after Wu Meiniang left, Han Yi also came out of the house.

"Brother Han!"

Ono, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, immediately walked over.

When Han Yi saw Ono, a trace of guilt suddenly appeared in his heart, and he smiled apologetically: "I've kept you waiting!" ”

Ono just smiled disappreciatively, it didn't matter if he stayed alone for a month, this bit of effort was really nothing.

Han Yi said: "Let's spend the night outside, and we'll go back to the city tomorrow morning." ”

Ono snorted.

Then the two got into the carriage and quietly left the house at night.

"Whew!"

After getting into the carriage, Han Yi let out a sigh of relief and muttered to himself: "It is worthy of Wu Meiniang, who actually used this way to disrupt my steps." ”

He really, really didn't expect that he would have a relationship with Wu Meiniang, although it had already happened, and this relationship was conducive to the promotion of his entire plan, but since this one was not in his plan, it was equivalent to making his plan turn a small corner.

Moreover, Wu Meiniang's relationship with him has become more equal.

In fact, according to Han Yi's original idea, Wu Meiniang is now asking for him, so he should have the initiative, but in the conversation with Fang Cai, he did not give full play to this advantage, because Wu Meiniang made a contract with him as soon as he came up, and that special contract will definitely make the two parties equal, and this kind of contract will only make the two of them prosperous and lossy.

But then again, although the process was not what Han Yi expected, the result did not change, and his plan did not take a turn, not only that, everything he had designed over the years has been fully realized, and the next thing is to reap the fruits of victory.

This made him very excited, this is the longest time span in his life, nay, it should be said that it is his two lifetimes, and it is also unique, and he has always been obsessed with the thrill of "succeeding".

......

......

Households.

"Shang Shuling, news came from Liangzhou yesterday that the merchants in the northwest have arrived at Yumen Pass, and they will arrive in Liangzhou in a few days, and, according to Zhao Zhiman's letter, if it goes well, the trade volume this time will at least double compared to the last time."

"So much?"

Han Yi was slightly surprised.

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "In the past, we traded with the northwest, and at most we bought some livestock, as well as jewelry, spices, and so on that they bought from Persia. But this time is very different from before, the goods they brought this time, of which the medicinal materials alone accounted for 30 percent, wool, camel hair, leather, cotton, and other textile raw materials, accounted for more than 60 percent, although the number of sheep and horses did not decrease, but the proportion decreased a lot. And these goods are convenient for land transportation and can be carried in large quantities. Fortunately, it is the merchants who trade with them now, and if it is the same as before, if it is still dominated by the imperial court, we may not be able to swallow this batch of goods. ”

Speaking of this, he felt very uncomfortable, in the past, those could not actually be called trade, that is, the northwest people sent some local products to Chang'an, and then the emperor doubled it back to them, and in the past, the northwest merchants came to Chang'an to trade, mainly for the monarch ministers, princes and nobles, and now it is for the people of the entire Central Plains, of course the court can't bear it, why does the court want so much wool.

This is the effect of capitalism, after that war, the northwest region has stepped into capitalism, much faster than the Central Plains, because the system in the northwest also supports the development of capitalism, in the past, the Turkic aristocracy was in contact with the imperial court, now it can be said that it is the trade of the whole people, every trade is related to every people, otherwise, in the last crisis, Wu Kelie they will not even dare to return home, which leads to the production enthusiasm of the people in the northwest has increased a lot, and the goods are a lot of growth. The Northwest Region is now a large-scale captivity, farming, planting herbs, and they know what the Central Plains need, and wool, camel hair, leather, and cotton are the raw materials that the Central Plains needs very much, and these raw materials, the Northwest Region is too rich, and it is much more cost-effective to sell wool than sheep.

In the past, merchants came to trade in the Central Plains, and they were afraid of encountering robbers on the road, but now merchants are not afraid of robbers at all, the robbers are coming, they are here to send horses, and the road is too smooth, the road repair project has not been broken, the system in the northwest, that is, how much tax is paid by the people, the government will do as many things, after the businessmen are in charge, of course they want the road to be smooth, so those rich businessmen in the northwest pay taxes, and do not expect the government to do anything else, you just repair the road.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Then are we ready?" ”

Zhang Daxiang said with a smile: "Fortunately, we are not bad, our Chang'an goods have been piled up, especially silk, since the water-powered spinning machine and water-powered loom came out, the amount of silk has increased greatly, which should not be a problem." ”

"That's good!" Han Yi nodded, and said: "Although this is a trade between merchants, the imperial court must also exert its own influence, supervise the trade between the two sides, and resolve the disputes, you will go to Liangzhou in person, and I will be responsible for Chang'an." ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded.

At this moment, there was a humane person outside the door: "Qi Yu Shangshu Order, Liu Sheren of Zhongshu Province asks to see." ”

Han Yi said: "Please let him in." ”

After a while, I saw a middle-aged man with a relatively thin figure walk in and said, "Xiaguan has seen Shang Shuling, Zhang Shilang." ”

Han Yi said: "What's the matter?" ”

"The lower official is ordered by the Zhongshu Order, and came to ask for the Shangshu Order, and tomorrow he will go to the political hall to hold a pivotal meeting presided over by the queen."

She's really anxious! Han Yi smiled secretly, nodded and said, "I know!" ”

"If Shang Shuling has no other instructions, the lower official will retire first."

After the people retreated, Zhang Daxiang was a little apprehensive: "The queen held a cardinal meeting at this time, do you think it will have something to do with this year's trade?" ”

Han Yi suddenly pointed to the wall and said, "Look, there are snakes." ”

Zhang Daxiang looked at it, was stunned, and said inexplicably: "Shang Shuling, what are you kidding, if you want to refer to you and the underground, this snake can't go up the wall." ”

Han Yi said: "This snake can run into your heart, not to mention this wall." ”

Zhang Daxiang was suddenly embarrassed and silent.

.....．

.....．

Early the next morning, Han Yi came to the imperial city humming a little song.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, he saw Yang Siner leading a group of subordinates to inspect the vicinity.

"Old man!"

Han Yi hurriedly beckoned and shouted.

Yang Sine sounded a little embarrassed, this title is strictly incorrect, after all, there was no such thing as three wives and four concubines in the Tang Dynasty.

"See Shang Shuling."

The generals beside him hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted.

"Generals, excuse me!" Han Yi waved his hand, and said to Yang Sine: "Old man, you wear this uniform, it is really majestic!" ”

This sycophant is too explicit.

Yang Sine's subordinates lowered their heads at the same time, their bodies trembling slightly.

Yang Sine coughed lightly and said to his subordinates, "You go over there first." ”

"Yes!"

Waiting for those subordinates to leave, Yang Sine frowned and said, "You kid is still Shang Shuling, why don't you even have the demeanor of a prime minister." ”

Han Yi said: "Don't worry, old man, the son-in-law is only temporary, and the son-in-law can't be forever." ”

You've said that, can I rest assured? Yang Sine looked at him angrily, everyone wants to write Shang Shuling, you don't want to be it yet, and said, "Can you kid have a little talent?" ”

But as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was very inappropriate, to say that Han Yi had not yet made a profit, he had to hang all his sons, so he quickly coughed lightly, and asked, "Why did you come so early?" ”

Han Yi said: "Go to the political hall for a meeting." ”

Yang Sina asked, "What happened?" ”

Han Yi said: "It's okay, it's a routine meeting." ”

Yang Sine nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, my eldest brother asked me to come and say thank you to you." ”

Han Yi was surprised: "Why do you want to say thank you to your son-in-law?" ”

Yang Sine said: "In the past few days, our Yang family's forage has been selling very well, earning thousands of yuan. ”

When he spoke, his expression was quite weird, he only felt that he was becoming more and more unable to understand the way of the world, and it was terrifying to be able to make so much money by selling grass.

At the beginning, according to Han Yi's suggestion, their Yang family bought those barren lands on a large scale, specifically for planting grass, and now the northwest merchants are about to arrive, and the Chang'an merchants also have to transport goods over, and the trade volume on both sides has at least doubled, which is more than how many camels, horses, and mules, and the hotels along the way need a lot of forage, without forage, who will live in your store, just the Yang family's forage harvest, this time it has been earned, and the capital has doubled several times.

The people of the Yang family are stunned, they are worthy of being the gods of business, and they can make so much money by saying anything about it.

Han Yi smiled: "Father-in-law, we are a family, you will see this when you say this." ”

"Yes! Isn't a few thousand yuan a drop in the bucket for you? Yang Sina smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you go quickly, don't be late." ”

"Yes."

After saying goodbye to Yang Sine, Han Yi came to the political hall again, only to see that he and Wu Meiniang were left without arriving.

"Whew! Fortunately, the queen has not arrived. ”

Han Yi bowed his hand to Zhang Wenguan and the others again, then came to his seat and sat down, and smiled at Zheng Shanxing: "Zheng Shilang, I heard that the beauty of your freedom is about to buy the wool of the entire northwest region. ”

Don't you understand the truth that wealth is not exposed? Zheng Shanxing said lightly: "Have you forgotten that you also have a three-point share?" ”

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right! I have a share of that, too. Damn, you buy so much, can you sell it? Don't smash it in your hands. ”

Zheng Shanxing didn't want to deal with him, it was Han Yi's idea to spin wool at the beginning, which directly led to the fact that in terms of wool weaving, the beauty of freedom is almost monopolistic, and the entire Central Plains is almost supplied by him, how can this not be sold.

Wang Xuandao said suddenly: "There is Shangshu who asks you to give advice on the side, not to mention wool, pig hair can also be sold." ”

Han Yi sighed: "It's a pity that the turtle has no hair. ”

Wang Xuandao subconsciously looked down.

Does he understand? Han Yi was slightly startled, and then realized that Wang Xuandao was looking at his hands, but he wouldn't come here with that little turtle.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a high-pitched voice outside, "The queen has arrived." ”

All the cardinal ministers stood up, and after a while, they saw Wu Meiniang walking in, and everyone just bowed slightly, this is Wu Meiniang's own request, try to reduce those unnecessary red tape, we are here to deal with affairs, not to contact feelings and form gangs.

But then again, Wu Meiniang wanted to form a gang, but she knew that it was too difficult to win over this group of people, so she simply took pride and put on a posture that an old lady couldn't do to win you over, besides, she had already won Han Yi.

Wu Meiniang only nodded slightly, then came to her seat and sat down, stretched out her hand and gestured, "Sit down." ”

All the cardinal ministers sat down.

First of all, of course, it is a routine return, and there is nothing to do at present, mainly the construction of the city, and the upcoming trade, but the trade is mainly merchants, and it has little to do with the imperial court.

Wu Meiniang didn't say much about this, and after the routine report was over, she suddenly said: "I believe you all know, I have been in the Ci'en Temple for the past few days, and I have seen a very strange phenomenon in the Ci'en Temple, that is, many merchants are traveling in horse-drawn carriages in the city. ”
