South of Chang'an City, Yankang Fang, Jiang House. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason why Duan Jian came to Jiang Feihe was not for nothing, but for Jiang Feihe, who was a Zhongjin Shi at the same time as him, the reason why Duan Jian came to find Jiang Feihe was not for nothing, but for a purpose, to know what the Jiang family did, it was a wealthy merchant family, from the former Sui to the present, several generations have been engaged in the grain business, if you want to say that the candidate who can solve the current food crisis faced by Chang'an City, except for the Jiang family, Duan Jian has no second person to think about.

"Come on, come on, it's rare to be famous in Chang'an's contemporary 'poetry saint' Duan Jian Duan Langjun, come to the cold house, it's really an honor, today we must have a good drink, don't get drunk and don't return." Since the last time Duan Jian sat down with eight poems in one breath next to Qujiang Pond, the name of this 'poetry saint' has somehow spread, which made Duan Jian a little stunned after hearing it, and at the same time worried about the real 'poetry saint' Du Fu, I don't know what reputation he will leave for future generations without this title.

Duan Jian didn't respond to the enthusiasm of Jiang Feihe, who hadn't seen him for a while, and seemed to have gained weight again, but sighed, "Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink with Jiang Langjun today, 'Eat the king's Lu, be loyal to the king', today I came here to look for Jiang Langjun, but I have something important to ask for." ”

Although Jiang Feihe is fat, his mind is still very dexterous, as soon as Duan Jian said this, he understood what Duan Jian meant, in fact, when Duan Jian came to see him, he already knew Duan Jian's intention, but for some reason, he didn't say it.

"Hehehe, what's the matter, can't Duan Langjun's family cut off food, if that's the case, it doesn't matter, my Jiang family is in the grain business, if there is more, but as long as Duan Langjun just speaks, no matter how much, he can give it to you." Jiang Feihe said knowingly.

"Why does Jiang Langjun pretend to be confused, I don't believe that with the ability of your Jiang family, this imperial court is about to run out of food, you don't know, since you came to you today, I just want to listen to your opinion, your Jiang family has been running a grain business in Chang'an City for several generations, is there really no way to solve this problem now?" Jiang Feihe went around the bend, but Duan Jian didn't give him this opportunity, and directly pointed out the topic.

Hearing Duan Jian's words, Jiang Feihe showed a few embarrassed smiles on his face, and then coughed lightly a few times before saying, "Duan Langjun, we are also friends, I won't hide some things from you, this Guanzhong land has been the country of abundance since ancient times, and it is said that he is one of the most fertile places in the world, I am afraid everyone will agree, but since the Qin and Han dynasties, this is the center of the world, and there are countless dynasties that have built their capitals here."

In this way, generation after generation of people take turns cultivating here, you think about it, no matter how fertile the land is, after hundreds of thousands of years of farming, it will become barren, in addition to the fact that there are too many people in Chang'an City now, the grain produced in Guanzhong is less than thirty percent, and the remaining seven CD have to be transported elsewhere, and now the Yellow River is blocked, not to mention that our Jiang family is just a merchant who does grain business, even if it is an immortal, there is no way. ”

Jiang Feihe's words completely extinguished the fire in Duan Jian's heart, he originally thought that with the Jiang family's 100-year food channel, he would be able to provide some help more or less, at least give some advice, but he didn't expect that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Since the Yellow River is blocked, the water can't pass, so what about the land route, and even if Luoyang's grain can't come, then what about Bashu, Sichuan is the country of abundance, and their grain can always be transported out!" Duan Jian said with the last glimmer of hope.

It's a pity that what disappointed him was that Jiang Feihe still shook his head and said, "Duan Langjun, it's not that I want to hit you, but these methods are not feasible at all, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive transportation of grain from Luoyang to Chang'an by land, let's just say that this method is not feasible at all, let's just say that if you want to enter Guanzhong, you must pass through the Cuihan Ancient Road, where the road is narrow, and it is not suitable for large-scale people to pass through."

As for the land of Bashu, that place is indeed the country of abundance, and the grain is enough, but if you want to transport the grain out of Shu, it is more difficult to transport the grain than Luoyang, and there is a matter of time, from Bashu to Chang'an, even if it is the fastest along the way, it will take more than a month, and then ten percent of the grain will be transported at most three or four percent, which is a drop in the bucket and has nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

Coming in a hurry and leaving in a disappointed mood, Duan Jian didn't stay in the Jiang family for long, just because of Jiang Feihe's blow, he left the Jiang family in despair.

Standing at the door, watching Duan Jian's carriage leave quickly, the smile on Jiang Feihe's face disappeared completely, replaced by a solemn expression, and he watched it blankly for a long time, until the carriage couldn't even hear the sound, and he returned home a little decadent.

"Grandpa, the child has already sent Duan Langjun away." After Jiang Feihe returned home, he came directly to a study, and in the middle of the study, there was a man with the same body shape as him, who was Jiang Feihe's father, Jiang Buji.

Jiang Buji is just forty years old this year, although he is not a stunning person, but he is also a person who keeps the job, he has been the master of the house for many years, where stability is the mainstay, there are few big moves, of course, this is also related to his age, in ancient times, after thirty is already considered a high life, and the Jiang family because of the relationship between the body, can live past the age of fifty is very rare, so, over the years, Jiang Buji has slowly retreated into the background, and slowly handed over the business to Jiang Feihe, the only son, to deal with.

Jiang Buji heard Jiang Feihe's words, while eating the pastry, he nodded and said, "Okay, good, just send it away, let's continue the things we just discussed, now the imperial court is short of grain, it is the time when we make a lot of money, starting tomorrow, we only buy grain for one hour a day, and only sell ten stones a day, and close immediately after selling, and wait until a month later, after Chang'an City is completely out of grain, the rice and grain we have hoarded are mountains of gold!" ”

When Jiang Buji was full of pride, Jiang Feihe wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but in the end he didn't say it, and after Jiang Buji finished speaking, he finally couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this, although hoarding is the foundation of doing business, but making a fortune at this time, is it a little out of place, the child feels a little robbed while the fire is burning, besides, after a month, if the court really has no food, will it take us to the knife, really like that, What's the use of more money if we ask for it. ”
