Chapter 31: I want to go to Liaodong
In this way, when Cui Zhe was a little confused and Yang Wenhua was a little happy, the two completed their preliminary understanding.
Although Yang Wenhua behaved very mercifully, Cui Zhe did not ask for it, but asked in return: "Looking at the couplet at Mr. Yang's door, presumably Mr. Yang must be a talented person. ”
Seeing that the old man didn't eat his own set and looked like he was doing business, Yang Wenhua didn't continue to paste it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "If the old gentleman has any questions, just say it." ”
Cui Zhe nodded, feeling that now Yang Wenhua looked confident, and he had a bit of a superior demeanor, and asked one by one: "My five surnames and seven sects have been around for hundreds of years, and their development has reached a bottleneck so far.
Only the Li family stood out and sat on the throne, although now under the control of many parties, everyone can still remain peaceful, but after a long time, there will inevitably be an attack.
What Cui wants to ask is, how can my Cui family escape this catastrophe, and where is the way out for the Cui family?
I also hope that Mr. Yang will not hesitate to give advice. ”
After Cui Zhe finished speaking, he gave Yang Wenhua a deep salute.
Yang Wenhua nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, this ginger is still old and spicy, and now is still the early years of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the form of the family is a good time.
Cui Zhe has already seen where his family's problems are, which is really remarkable.
Yang Wenhua also found out by searching for information that the five surnames and seven sects have indeed undergone a transformation of prosperity and decline in the past few decades.
Li Shimin has just taken the throne now, and he will not do anything with these families, and after more than ten years, after the Quartet is initially pacified, he will begin to suppress the family.
And when Li Zhi ascended the throne, he was also constantly weakening the family.
When Wu Zetian ascends to the throne, it will be even more terrible, and he will kill a wave of two heads in three days, that is, Cui Yuan's son, Cui Cha, the prime minister of the dynasty, was also demoted first and then killed.
It can be said that Li Longji's Kaiyuan prosperity is the legacy of Wu Zetian's killing.
Without Wu Zetian shedding the blood of the family and the royal family, vacating a large amount of land, or distributing it to ordinary people, or nationalizing it, Li Longji went there to collect so many taxes.
The country has no money, the people have no money, the family has money, you can't win the war outside, the goods are not circulated inside, the people live a hard life haha, you fart in the prosperous era.
The gentry of the Ming and Qing dynasties, who cultivated land with silver, did not have more than you in the Tang Dynasty, but there was no prosperous era.
Yang Wenhua looked at the wise old man in front of him and sighed: "The old gentleman is really as wise as a torch." ”
"Please teach me, sir."
Seeing Cui Zhe respectfully salute again, Yang Wenhua groaned for a while, and after thinking about his gains and losses, he said: "Have you ever thought that the old gentleman will start from Liaodong and go all the way to the east." ”
"Huh?"
After listening to Yang Wenhua's words, Cui Zhe asked in surprise: "The east of Liaodong, such a wild and bitter cold place, if it is difficult for Middle Earth to accommodate us and others, will it continue to develop?" ”
"Alas, it really can't be tolerated for you to continue to develop, at most fifty years, either the dynasty will be overthrown, or the family will decline."
Sighing, Yang Wenhua continued to analyze: "The old gentleman is also a person who has read history books, so he naturally knows that throughout the internal conquests in China, all of them have occurred when the population is large.
This was the case in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the late Han Dynasty, and even before and after the previous dynasties, when the land was not enough to support many people, internal indilution would inevitably occur, and when the displacement of the population decreased, the conquest would inevitably stop.
If Huaxia wants to jump out of this strange circle, it must jump out of this land, although Liaodong is a wild and bitter cold land, but it is not a barren land.
On the contrary, not only is the land fertile, but also extremely rich, so why not follow the example of the sages and spread the road to open up the four directions?
Moreover, the world is so big, how vast, the extreme east of Liaodong, but there is no less than the vast world of Middle Earth, as long as the old gentleman finds that place, the Cui family is prosperous, and the descendants still need to worry about the old gentleman? ”
Speaking of this, Yang Wenhua stopped, such a big pie was drawn, it depended on whether this old man Cui wanted to eat it.
Cui Zhe pondered for a long time, and finally looked at Yang Wenhua and asked, "If the Cui family goes east, can Mr. Yang have a way to help the Cui family?"
"Naturally, there is."
Yang Wenhua secretly sighed, and then said: "I have two wonderful methods that can help the Cui family gain a foothold in Liaodong. ”
"I hope that Mr. Yang will not hesitate to give advice, and the Cui family will give everything to repay him."
Looking at Cui Zhe, who was deeply respectful, Yang Wenhua smiled and said:
"First, I have a method, can make a thing, called cement, for the construction of masonry houses for bonding, the cost is very low, ordinary people can also afford to use, there is this thing plus the fire pit, can resist the cold of Liaodong.
Second, I also have a thing, called potatoes, which can be the staple food, and the yield per mu can be up to 10,000 catties, and the output of the bitter cold land will not be reduced.
With these two, it shouldn't be difficult for the Cui family to establish a foothold in Liaodong, right?"
After listening to Yang Wenhua's words, Cui Zhe was excited, saluted again, and said: "Please also ask Mr. to give the Cui family these two kinds of treasures, what kind of conditions are needed to exchange, if the Cui family owns, Mr. just open his mouth." ”
Not to mention the yield of 10,000 catties of potatoes per mu, in this era when food is human life, what does it mean, just the extremely low cost of cement, is also of great significance.
This is not like glass, a dispensable luxury for ordinary people, the more cheap things related to people's livelihood, for the superiors, it is more important than things that can make a lot of money.
Seeing Cui Zhe's inevitable appearance, Yang Wenhua didn't open his mouth, smiled, and said: "A certain family wants to go to Liaodong, and I hope that the Cui family will do their best to help, so it should offset the secret method of making cement."
As for potatoes, 10,000 taels of gold is enough, but after the Cui family planted potatoes all over Liaodong, they also hoped that the Cui family would not deliberately prevent the potatoes from being transmitted back to the Central Plains. ”
After listening to Yang Wenhua's request, Cui Zhe smiled confidently: "These two are easy, 10,000 taels of gold, and they will be delivered to Mr. here tomorrow."
Although Liaodong is bitterly cold, the Cui family also has more than a dozen caravans, and nearly 2,000 people travel to Liaodong.
The old man asked Yuan'er to accompany Mr. Yang, and then let his subordinate caravans fully cooperate, thinking that he would not delay Mr. Liaodong's trip.
As for potatoes, when potatoes were planted all over Liaodong, the old man just wanted to prevent them from being transmitted back to Middle-earth, and he was afraid that he would be powerless. ”
Looking at Cui Yuan on the side who heard that he went to Liaodong with him, he had a constipated expression, Yang Wenhua smiled, and said to Cui Zhe: "That's it, after Yang makes the trip, this place is safe, please ask the old man." ”
"Haha."
Cui Zhe smiled: "Mr. Yang may not know it, no one has bothered you for so long, just these days, my Cui family has been secretly shielding the prying eyes for Mr." ”
Cui Zhe said this, he wanted to sell it to Yang Wenhua.
He knew there that Yang Wenhua was angry in his heart at this moment.
I said why is there no business in the store, it turns out that you old man is doing ghosts, are you especially protecting me, you are smashing my business.
