As the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City has a population of 1 million, and there is no shortage of all kinds of wealthy families, so whenever it comes to the change of seasons, these wealthy families will purchase some satin fabrics and make some seasonal clothes for the people in the family.
Originally, Wan Gengzhong bought a few boats of thin silk in Yangzhou according to the plan of previous years, and wanted to transport them to Chang'an for sale, according to the experience of previous years, as long as these thin silks can be transported to Chang'an City, they can earn double the profit, but what everyone did not expect is that this year because of the weather, the Yellow River waterway was actually cut off, and this time, Wan Gengzhong was completely saddened to death.
If the Yellow River really waited until May and June to open the boat, even if his thin silk was transported to Chang'an City, what was the use of the summer, even if it was sold at a loss, I am afraid that no one would dare to accept it, and at that time, his thin silk would really become useless.
Even if the Wan family has a big business, these thin silks have also used a lot of money to prepare, if these thin silks are really smashed in their hands, even if the Wan family will not be destroyed immediately, they will suffer huge losses, and even from his grandfather, the family business accumulated over the past few decades will also be lost, thinking about the consequences, Wan Gengzhong feels that the future is bleak.
During this time, there are many businessmen like Wan Gengzhong, although most people can still stay calm, but there are still some people who can't bear the pressure and do all kinds of unexpected things, medicinal herb merchants because the medicinal materials transported stay on the ship for too long, and mildew, rotten, so that people throw thousands of precious medicinal materials worth thousands of gold into the Luo River, grain merchants because they can't pay the rent, and the ship boss unloads tens of thousands of stone grain to the dock, let the wind and rain blow, and so on, There have been too many things happening during this time, and at the beginning, many people sympathetically comforted and sighed, and over time, when there were more and more such things, everyone was completely numb.
Just in Luoyang City, when all kinds of people suffered various losses because of the blockage of the Yellow River, a puzzled but surprising news flooded everywhere in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.
"The imperial court aims to collect grain from Chang'an City, and if you can transport grain to Chang'an City, one stone of grain can be exchanged for one stone of refined salt, and you will pay grain with one hand and salt with the other, and you will never be in arrears."
When the news just began to circulate, everyone thought that someone was dreaming and had hysteria, and no one believed it at all, but the next day, I saw the notices posted by Luoyang Dayin everywhere on the streets and alleys, and it was this message that the notice said, of course, at this time, it was no longer a message, but an announcement.
When this news was confirmed, for a while, in addition to Chang'an City, Luoyang was once again detonated by this news, and even because the people in Luoyang City felt more that the Yellow River was cut off to Luoyang City, the conflict between the Luoyang people was even greater.
"Zhuzi, do you know the news, the imperial court levied grain in Chang'an City, and a stone of grain can be exchanged for a stone of refined salt, this is a good thing for a golden cake from the sky, why, do you dare to do it with my brother, if we really win, we will no longer have to sell coolies on the side of the Luo River in the future, and we can also do some small business and make some easy money like those gentlemen." In the same place, the middle-aged man Zhou Tou asked, just like a strong man.
Hearing Zhou Tou's words, the strong man raised his hand and scratched his somewhat messy hair, and even pinched a louse from his head, and while pinching the lice to death with his hand, he said slowly, "Zhou Tou, are you saying that this kind of thing is true, the imperial court will really have such a good treatment, it won't lie to us, what is the price of refined salt, what is the price of grain, and the difference between dozens of times the price in the middle, how can we get it from poor sticks, there is such a good thing, those wealthy families have already broken their brains for the next, I think there is a bit of suspense." ”
In addition to Zhou Tou and the pillar, there were more than a dozen men who were also tanned and looked quite sturdy with the pillars.
Seeing that his morale was finally mobilized, he was dispelled by the pillar, Zhou Tou wanted to slap him to death, but after thinking about it, he still held back the anger in his heart, and explained, "What do you know about bastard, this matter was personally promulgated by Da Yin, you said that this matter in black and white, can still be fake, in addition, you just said why those wealthy families don't take this matter, let me tell you, listen to the officials of Da Yin's mansion, this is the appearance of some people in the court who are not used to those wealthy families, deliberately didn't let them take over this matter, in order to give us poor people a chance to make money. ”
Zhou Tou's words made the hope that everyone had just been extinguished burn again, and Zhou Tou struck while the iron was hot and said, "By the way, you might as well tell your brothers, this time no matter what, I plan to gamble once, and if I fail, it's a big deal to work on this canal until I die, but if I really succeed, I will be a master in the future, marry a few beautiful wives and concubines, buy hundreds of acres of land, and have a good second half of my life, this kind of day makes people drool." ”
Hearing the beautiful scene that seemed to be a fairy tale, the poor people couldn't help it anymore, and the pillar who was still a little hesitant just now, thinking of the wife and son who had not eaten for a few days, slapped his thigh fiercely, stood up and shouted, "Okay, since you are not afraid of Zhoutou, what else is there to be afraid of us people, isn't it just to transport some food to Chang'an City, how much hardship has been eaten, what is this matter, for the sake of my wife and son, I will fight this time." ”
"Yes, we fight, I don't believe it, we can only carry sacks here for the rest of our lives, and I also want to be a master and taste what the life of the old man is like."
…………………
The words of the pillar, like a spark igniting gasoline, aroused the infinite ambition of many strong men.
