Ten days later, Liang Xing and others rushed to Zhangjia's mansion, where Li Jinlian was crying and refusing to leave.

Liang Xing and the others were not easy to do in this matter, and just wanted to step forward to persuade a few words, Li Jinlian spat on Liang Xing's face, fierce and abnormal, Liang Xing and the others were embarrassed, and retreated with a disgraced face.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Chang's chanting of the Buddha became much faster, and it is estimated that after this incident, whoever comes to the door to mention a concubine will have to be beaten out by Chang with a big stick.

Only suffered Zhang Han, in fact, there are a few maids in the house now, none of them have bound their feet, fifteen or sixteen years old skin is white and tender, and there is a healthy ruddy, there is one that is like this, goose egg face, skin white like snow, named willow, walking is also willow with wind, quite graceful, Zhang Han has fallen in love with her, I really want to be included in the room, but there is Jin Lian in front, Zhang Han is now afraid to mention it.

It was difficult for others to say, so Zhang Han had to step forward and say: "Do you know that I sent you to a Taiji, that is my business partner, and I must respect you very much." ”

"No matter how respectful it is, it's also the Tartar realm, it's stinky, I won't go."

Zhang Han sighed, and said: "Jin Lian, I see that you like to enjoy it very much, that Tai Ji is a noble man among the Mongols, and if we are the king of the county here, the felt bag of the people is more than a mile, there are countless gold and silver utensils in it, and there are hundreds of people who serve people, and he likes our Han women the most, and he likes the rich and white and small feet, I thought that you would be uncomfortable living here with me, and I would like you to go to a better place, who expected you to resist so much, I thought about it......

"No, no, no," Li Jinlian's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "I'll go, I'll go." ”

"Very good," Zhang Han said with a smile: "When you get there, if there is any news worth talking about, write it down, I will try to get someone to contact you, and I will give you money every time, so good?" ”

Li Jinlian was very greedy for money, and when she thought that she could make another profit from Zhang Han, of course she was busy agreeing.

"The young proprietor is really capable of anything......" Liang Hong and the others were sweating, it was almost the end of March, and the weather was a little warm and moist, but it would not sweat, of course, this sweat had just come out.

Zhang Han smiled, there is nothing to brag about in this matter, although the conditions over there are not very good after Li Jinlian went, but this woman is greedy for money, there are really a lot of gold and silver artifacts over there, and the silver ingot really likes a Han girl like her, if this line continues, it will really be possible to communicate with the news in the future, and it is better than nothing.

Of course, this is only incidental, and the most important thing is that the mines in this house have finally been cleared......

……

"Young proprietor, they're here to deliver."

This transaction was the last one, five stones and three thousand stones of grain, divided into thirty deliveries, each time less than two thousand stones, nearly 100 double-pulled two-** cars transported, from the Xinpingbao export more than ten miles, delivered to the hands of the Mongols.

For smuggling of this scale, of course, the border generals and guards saw it very clearly, but from the garrison to the officers of the thousand households, they all bought it up, and each had its own rules, and declared: The young proprietor said that it will be every month.

In this way, who else comes out with many things?

This time is the last time, the cart arrived, the porters unloaded the grain bags, about 20 dart masters with weapons on horses, scattered to guard, hundreds of Tartars drove the horses over, a horse carried three or four hundred catties, this time more than 2,000 stones, with nearly a thousand horses, the momentum is very huge.

After the delivery was completed, a tartar led a camel and a horse, and on top of it were two large silver purles, which contained less than two thousand taels of silver, and this time the silver goods were delivered.

"Everybody is satisfied." The silver ingot rode over on horseback, and this time he didn't mention the matter of asking Zhang Han to paint, and said with a smile: "We are short of food, and you Daming are abiding by the rules, you have to wait for the market to open to buy, and the quantity is limited, if you have such a scale of grain every once in a while in the future, we don't even care about the monthly market." ”

There are also various restrictions on the private market of the moon market, in the early days, there were even restrictions on food, more grocery transactions, fruits and vegetables, etc., the corresponding tribe on the side of Xinpingbao is the eldest son of the original Yuda, the second generation of Shunyi King Huang Taiji, is also a restless lord, his tribe is estimated to have more than 100,000 Dingkou, even the old and small women are estimated to have about 300,000 people, plus the nearby tribes, hundreds of thousands of people must be there, so many people include the needs of animal husbandry, the official market and private market transactions are not enough at all, But in addition to the need for war horses, the Ming Dynasty opened the horse market, more is a political trade-off, hoping to use this form to restrain the restless Mongolian tribes, the opening and closing of the market are due to politics, market-oriented considerations are far behind, the market is insufficient, the supply of goods is actually far from enough, but the court will not care about this aspect.

"There's definitely food." Zhang Han's tone was very firm, in fact, the price of grain in Baozhong has been rising recently, and the quantity is very limited, the largest few have a lot of grain on hand, but they just hold on, if they want to collect a large amount of grain, they have to go to the field to collect it, if it is collected from the farmers, it is best to start the wheat harvest from the end of April to the beginning of May, of course, it is best to collect the summer tax in June.

It is difficult to collect grain for a while, and the profit is not big after the price of grain rises, but the big profit is behind, Zhang Han will not pinch the trade that has been done by himself, and he has to maintain it by all means, even if he loses money, he will continue to do it.

"Han boy, then it's decided."

The silver ingot was in a good mood, and his smiling appearance looked much more handsome than usual.

He is a small Taiji, and he got tens of thousands of stone grains at once, and he will have them in Changchuan in the future, this smuggling route is not the kind of small Han traders who sell one or two carts of grain, and use mules and donkeys to pull groceries, this is a big deal done by serious big merchants.

He has already been praised by the above, and if this year continues, the nearby tribes will not be at risk of running out of food...... In the past few years of drought, life on the grassland is not very good, if it weren't for the trade subsidy like Daming, everyone would have swung a knife into the customs to fight the grass valley.

It's just that this matter is just the beginning, and whether the Han kid who looks good really has that ability, we have to see if he has that ability.

The silver ingots didn't say much, and the appearance of the Han people arched their hands, and they went to beat the horse.

He deliberately didn't mention the matter of Jin Lian, but he was also afraid that Zhang Han would mention it, the Han girl was white and fat, her face was like a silver plate, and she was shocked when she saw the silver ingot.

Of course, there are some Han women on the grassland, some of them run by themselves, and some of them are abducted and sold, of course, they robbed the most when they fought with the Ming Kingdom, and these women were almost all from the lower classes, and most of them were rough-handed, and there was no one like Jin Lian.

Silver Ingot knows that it is common for Han people to give concubines to each other, but now the cooperation with Zhang Han has just begun, and the friendship is not deep, he is not embarrassed to mention it, and Silver Ingot thinks that Jin Lian is so stunning, Zhang Han must be in love like a treasure, this cooperation, Zhang Han actually gave such a favorite concubine to himself as a hostage, it is conceivable that the sincerity is also full.

……

After the silver ingots left, everyone escorted the car back, and after a while of transporting grain, the carriages and horses of several nearby shops were transferred back, plus the main store retained here, and temporarily rented dozens of hangings, which was barely enough.

Everyone's interest was very high, only Zhang Han frowned...... He's thinking about food in the future.

As soon as the descendants heard that the grain was transported dozens of stones, hundreds of stones, they were not taken seriously, but they did not know, from Shaanxi Guanzhong to northern Shaanxi, in the early Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Ming Dynasty were very arduous tasks, from a certain county to transport grain 5,000 stone to Yansui Town, the 5,000 stone is 600,000 catties, the need for mules and horses and manpower is very much, there is a lot of consumption on the road, the official road is dilapidated, there are many mountain roads, trails, rivers to cut off the road, a few large trucks in the future can easily do things, in this era is the need for a lot of manpower and material resources.

The problem now is that the price of grain is rising, and we are not afraid of this, because in the future, there will be a large demand on the grassland, and we will not be afraid of how it rises.

Zhang Han's current business foothold is actually in the transportation, the account bureau is also based on the mutual circulation of silver money and goods, if the transportation goes further, with a strong transportation and logistics industry, then in Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi and all over the grain movement like flowing water, not only and Yusheng will not have a shortage of food crisis, even if there is a kind of cannibalism disaster in the future, if the grain can be transferred to everywhere in time, in fact, there will be no large number of displaced people to evolve into liukou, and eventually become the gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhang Han will not do this, the former is his own business, and the latter is the affairs of the imperial court.

The longer he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, the more he felt that this dynasty was sick, not only sick, but also very sick.

Taxes, household registration, merchant registration, municipal registration, management of trade, administration of officials and localities, laws, a whip law, officials, officers and soldiers of the guards, all of them were sick, the cause was unknown, but the pathology was very obvious.

and then to the upper echelons, the officials only cared about arguing with the emperor, fighting each other, the emperor was angry and did not take care of the government, Zhang Han had seen the copy of the palace, from the forty-fifth year to the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the first auxiliary party Congzhe had been sparse many times in a row, asking for disaster relief, supplementing the court officials and many other important matters, Wanli did not report it, and ignored it at all.

Many descendants say that Wanli still controls the national government regardless of politics, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are still developing benignly, which is complete nonsense.

The situation in the south and the north is different, the development of agriculture and industry brought about by the development of trade in the south cannot fully represent the north, Wanli's neglect of government to the north is fatal, under the influence of the Xiaoice period, the north needs more coordination of the imperial court for disaster relief, more needs officials to repair water conservancy, needs to reduce taxes, needs to build roads, needs to mobilize grain in the grain area to supplement the disaster area, but everything is developing on the vicious side, everything ends in the Chongzhen period.

From the corruption and fraud of the officials, the indifference of the officials to the suffering of the people, to the fact that the officials only cared about arguing with the emperor at the moral level, and had no ideas and achievements in the reform of the country, the most daring reformer was Zhang Juzheng, but his whip law and various measures were still tinkering within the framework.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty have not changed since the founding of the country, and the emperor and officials have completely failed to adapt to the new form, while everything stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang is still based on more than 200 years ago, and for more than 200 years, the "ancestral system" has become synonymous with not wanting to make progress. In contrast, the Song law is constantly improving and developing, and like the Tang law, it is divided into a variety of formats, the management and promotion of industry and commerce, and the use of the wealth brought by the prosperity of industry and commerce.

Whether the emperor neglects the government or the court officials try to establish authority, the entire social institution has been completely detached from reality, science has completely entered a dead end, and the study of the mind is gradually moving towards the mystical and mysterious, not to solve the problem, but to become a talisman for officials without moral character, the meaning of the existence of the law is to adjust social relations, depending on the changes in society and adjust themselves, but the legal system of the Ming Dynasty has lost this role and even will, in the traditional agricultural part, The peasants were continued to be tied to the fields with harsh policies and heavy punishments, and the scholars and doctors lay on the peasants to suck blood, and the new industrial and commercial, financial, and foreign trade industries were free from the system, and the system neither had the will and ability to manage these new industries, nor did it try to incorporate the benefits of these new industries into the system, and then contribute to the empire, so that it came to a dead end, on the one hand, the withering and hardship of the north, and on the other hand, the wealth and comfort of the people of the south, and the merchants became richer and richer. The restrictions and weakening of merchants are not at the legal level within the system, nor will they be transformed into the wealth of the Ming court, the benefits are divided between the elite class and the merchants, and finally the court is getting poorer and poorer, and the ruins of the north complement each other, and finally the court finances are bankrupt, the north is chaotic, the Jurchens pick peaches, and then the wealth of the south and the merchant nobility class plus Shilin are bulldozed together, and everyone is done.

All kinds of understandings are mostly derived from Zhang Han's complete integration into the Ming Dynasty, standing on the shoulders of giants from the perspective of future generations, and summarizing everything he sees.

Corrupt officials and ** border generals are just the epistemic causes, the inner is that the system of this dynasty is rotten, rooted in the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the younger generations do not want to forge ahead and make the dynasty gradually come to an end, Zhang Han used to read books just on paper, but now he is in the game, and what he thinks about has touched the truth of the fall of this dynasty.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Han, although the thinking is heavy, but it is not painful, he is not the Ming clan, let alone the emperor, nor the nobles and gentry, he does not belong to the privileged class, the interests of this dynasty have nothing to do with him, on the contrary, he is the target of the dynasty's suppression and weakening, but now the Ming Dynasty's control over the people has weakened, and the merchants have been able to take the lead, in this case, whether the Ming Dynasty has fallen or not, and what does it have to do with him? Even for Zhang Han, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty that he came into contact with were as greedy and vicious as tigers, so what did it matter if such a dynasty and these officials fell.

Zhang Han only has a sense of state, the meat is rotten in the pot, how to toss it is still China. The Manchus were also integrated into China in later generations, and the ethnic struggle was not so unacceptable to him, and he was educated in this way from a small country to a large country, and he did not have any unique ideas of his own, after all, from the perspective of big history, he was just a small person.

The little people are worried about the little people, Zhang Han is still having a headache with food, and in the past few months, this is the most important top priority-

There are a lot of things discussed in this chapter, and writing historical texts like this hinders reading, and I also noticed that I play more in this area, and try to change them, but writing historical essays completely discarding these things, it is better to write fantasy, so some chapters still have some things to write.
