Chapter 185 Smuggling

As for smuggling, it's not that no big family has thought about it, the problem is that Yizhou is mountainous and basically consists of several basins. This also means that the roads are underdeveloped, and it will be easy for Zhao Yu to block the official roads and waterways. And grain smuggling will inevitably have to go over the mountains and mountains, how many resources will it cost?

It is also important to know that when walking in the mountains, the grain truck is easy to turn over, and at the same time, the transportation process will become longer, and the loss is very large! I'm afraid that if I smuggle it outside, I won't be able to make a few pennies by selling this grain. If you are unlucky, you will not only be unable to make money by pouring a few more grain trucks in the mountains, but you will have to post them upside down!

However, Zhao Yu's every excuse is so open-minded, coupled with the two sharp weapons of Qingzhou Mansion News, the lower-class ordinary people are afraid that they will not oppose this, and take a step back, even if there is resentment, it will definitely not be too big.

That's the benefit of getting the publicity in place!

As for the businessmen, they will naturally be resentful, but Zhao Yu is only banning a state, and it is not a ban on Jingdong East Road. And Yizhou has never been a big grain-producing state on Jingdong Road, and without him, it would not be impossible to buy grain. And when the time comes, the price of food will increase, and the money you can earn will not be much less, and maybe you will earn more.

Thinking about the vital interests, Hu Fuchen and the other seven people were pushed to the edge of the cliff by Zhao Yu.

Threats are never the best way to get people to give in, and one hand is the way to go. The stick is thrown, and naturally there must be turnips!

Zhao Yu didn't bother the scribe this time, but took out a document by himself and said, "This is a decree that this king has been thinking about for a long time and doesn't know whether it should be promulgated, please guide the elders!" ”

As the leader, Hu Fuchen was naturally the first to take over and watch. The three words of "Tea Planting Order" at the beginning made Hu Fuchen's heart move, and when he looked at it carefully, he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Some big families couldn't help but ask: "Hu Gong, why is this decree also?" ”

Hu Fuchen glanced up at Zhao Yu and said, "The prince has found that the area of Yishan is suitable for planting tea trees, and he is ready to recruit tea farmers in the local area to plant them widely. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Fuchen asked: "It's just that the prince is afraid that he doesn't know something, this tea tree is not as good as rice millet in a year." Although Lao Yu has never planted tea trees, he still knows some small insights at this age. Tea trees need to be planted for three years before they can be harvested! And the prince is afraid that he doesn't know, although Yishan can grow tea, but I'm afraid that the quality will not be too good, and I can't fight Huai tea, Jiancha, and Sichuan tea, I'm afraid that there will be a loss! ”

Zhao Yu was confident, and said with a confident smile: "Where did this king say that it was sold to the people of the Great Song Dynasty?" This king is to be sold to the Jurchens, the Koreans, and the Wa people! ”

Hu Fuchen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and now the people of the Song Dynasty know the three characteristics of these feudal people, they are stupid, they have a lot of money, and they come quickly. In the northwest, a pack of tea can be exchanged for ten Tibetan horses of good quality! A pack of Shu tea tea folk is only twenty-seven!

And a Tibetan horse is the cheapest and costs 20 yuan! There are more than 30 expensive ones! Ten times the profit, isn't this a stupid person to make money faster?

But these big families are not stupid, one big family said bluntly: "The prince's idea is good, the question is where we come to tea now?" In addition, the Khitan is very wary of my Da Song City horses, otherwise why would my Da Song Dynasty just be in the Northwest City Horse? ”

Will Zhao Yu be prepared there? "Tea is easy to say, although there is no tea planted on Yishan, there are still some old camellias. As for planting, Benwang has a method that can speed up the growth of tea trees, and it is estimated that they can mature in two years at the latest. And these two years can be a transitional time, after all, you don't think that you can make a fortune for the first time in business, right? ”

Hu Fuchen said: "What is this saying, prince? How can the old decay have such fantasies! It's just that there are a lot of dangers here! The Liao people will not sit idly by and watch our business, they will protest to the imperial court, the good thing is that what we have done before has fallen short, and we have lost tens of thousands of dollars. If it's not good, the court may take us ordinary people out to blame! ”

Hu Fuchen's meaning is very simple, you have an official family as an elder brother, naturally you are not afraid of heaven and earth, we ordinary people are not as good as you King of Changsha!

Zhao Yu said with a smile: "You know all these kings, so this king will not apply to the imperial court to build a new field." It's all smuggling! You know what? ”

The other big households couldn't help but look at each other, and when they heard the king of Changsha say the word smuggling openly, they also had a sense of disobedience in their hearts, is this really in the official office of Qingzhou Mansion? Isn't it some bandit den?

After half a ring, Hu Fuchen spoke, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Wang, if you are caught by the Liao, it will be a death sentence!" ”

Zhao Yu sneered: "Liao's hand is not as long as you think!" Don't forget, the Jurchens are only vassals of the Liao people, not the common people of the Liao people, and as for the Goryeo people, it goes without saying. Their current aristocracy is still proud of the use of Chinese characters, and their sense of identity with the Liao people can be imagined! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yu knocked on the wooden table with his fingers and said coldly: "The most important thing is that you don't forget!" If it is done, how much silk can you get! If you don't want to, forget it, the outlaws do! ”

Hu Fuchen hesitated for a while, and said, "The matter of the sea ship ......"

"Didn't the Dengzhou Navy Division say that there are a few warships that are no longer usable? I think if someone buys it for a small fee, the Dengzhou Marines will be happy to see this happen! Without waiting for Hu Fuchen's words to finish, Zhao Yu had already shown a demonic smile and said indifferently.

"We still need to talk about it!" Although Hu Fuchen was already moved, he still did not rashly agree.

Zhao Yu nodded very happily and said, "Very good!" But you're in a hurry, tomorrow! If you don't give the king an answer tomorrow, I think you'll know what the king will do! ”

Hu Fuchen hated the feeling of being threatened, but he still had to endure this bad breath, and his old face showed an ugly face, and he nodded slowly.

After Zhao Yu saw Hu Fuchen nodding, he took the scribe out of the room very neatly, very refreshing! No polite words at all!

I don't know if it was Zhao Yu's cheerful attitude that stimulated Hu Fuchen and them, but the next day, Hu Fuchen asked to see Zhao Yu under the guidance of the scribe that night, lowered his posture, and sincerely agreed to Zhao Yu's request.

The next thing is much simpler, you need to form a caravan, who else has how many shares, what should be the goods sold for the first time, and how many should be there. As for the route or something, it is even easier to say, in this era, the Northern Song Dynasty has never broken off diplomatic relations with Goryeo. It's just that the exchanges between the two sides are much more hidden, and they are just exchanges through Buddhism!

It is definitely not a problem to find a businessman who is familiar with the route! Especially in the case of the official plaque of Zhao Yu, it is easy to find a captain who has been to Goryeo and Japan through the Ministry of Rites.
