Chapter Thirty-Nine: There is a Way to Make Money
Xie An originally wanted to hide in the Tai Academy to take care of his eyes, but he didn't think that after two days, his pupils had not disappeared, and Shen Jin found him first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
These days, Shen Jin is busy with the affairs of the Shen Chamber of Commerce, and his mind is full of digital freight, but he has encountered some tricky things, and this matter is related to a certain big official.
When he saw Xie An's eyes, he couldn't help but look at them for a long time, and said, "What kind of disease is this?" But this looks, it's a bit evil, it's the Midyear Festival, if you see it, you think it's an evil ghost, or let your junior brother see it, right? ā
"Wait a little longer, Du Yu said that he would be fine in a few days, wait for three days, and I will rely on him after three days."
Xie An rubbed his eyes and asked him, "What the hell is going on?" I can wait for the money to build a school, and the investment in education is zero, and it is difficult to write it into the history books? ā
Shen Jin has always been puzzled by Xie An's desire to be too college, and he is bent on accepting students, the trend of the Jin Dynasty, if Taixue can flourish, it will have already been carried forward in the hands of Director Wang, and now that the student has not entered the door, Xie An will have to invest a lot of money, and he is not afraid that he will get nothing at that time?
However, Xie An's actions have always been unexpected, and Shen Jin can't figure it out or think about it.
It's just that the current matter is closely related to Xie An's need for money, so he must not disturb this Principal Xie.
Shen Jin was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "Liu Yinqi, have you ever heard of it?" ā
Xie An was very familiar with this person's name recently, and said, "Is it the new Jiangzhou assassin who replaced Duke Wen?" ā
Shen Jin continued: "Jiangzhou was originally a rich land, and now Jiangzuo is in trouble, and the materials needed are all from Jiangzhou, but after Liu Yin took office, he took advantage of Cao Yun to transport materials to Jiangzuo on a large scale, all in the name of private individuals, and the prices were all under his control, not only the market price was raised, but also the people complained. ā
Now the DPRK and China are also talking about this matter, but there is no evidence for the delivery of materials, and there are only rumors, but most of the DPRK and China are complaining, Jiangzhou sent a little less materials this time, and the ministers are not enough, he thought of this and asked: "I have heard about this, why do we lose a lot?" ā
"After the Su Jun Rebellion, our Shen Chamber of Commerce has always been selling and buying at a low price and parity, almost not making any money from the people, and now Liu Yin's materials are not only at a high price, but also ordered people to buy our materials privately, and then sell them at a high price.
Shen Jin finished in one breath: "Now that these people are still detained by us near the dock, I can't make up my mind for a while, and I don't dare to rush to find Master Situ, so I can only come to you." ā
In fact, now in addition to the affairs of the court, Wang Dao has handed over the management power to Xie An, and Wang Biaozhi is helping in the court, and Xie An is in charge of some "bits and pieces" for him, but these "bits and pieces" are what no one in the Langya Wang family can manage, and they are all handed over to Xie An.
Speaking of this Liu Yin, he can be regarded as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, after the eldest son of Liu Bangshu, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, mourned Liu Fei, the king of Hui, he was handsome when he was young, and he was quite famous among the scholars. Liu Yin had some friendship with Wang Dun before, and he was also quite bold when he was young, when he was appointed Yuzhang was too punctual, he encountered civil strife in the southern wealthy clan, not only killed the county order but also ran rampant in the market, after Liu Yin took office, he carried out iron serum purge, and killed many wealthy families.
Now that Liu Yin is over fifty, maybe he is old and confused, or his nature is no longer concealed, he completely indulges his desires in Wuchang and drills into the eyes of money.
"In that case, then we might as well eat black and pretend to be robbers."
Xie An's serious appearance frightened Shen Jin.
Shen Jin asked repeatedly: "Pretending to be a bandit?" ā
Xie An nodded, "Well, if he dares to smuggle it, I will dare to rob it." ā
"Where's the manpower? You can't transfer people from the army, can you? ā
"I'm a soldier of the Beifu of the Xie family." Xie An said leisurely, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, there must always be a chance to take them out." ā
āā¦ā¦ But the real robbery of merchants will always be known by the local county magistrate Taishou and report it to the imperial court, what should I do at that time? ā
"I will send people to rob first, and then send them to the court, as for the so-called bandits, they said that they have fled to Yuzhou, and they are bothered to chase after Yuzhou."
Yuzhou is now the boundary of Yuliang, the best place to throw the pot, the place to start is the Jiangdao that has passed Liyang not long ago, and now a group of Beifu soldiers have become domestic servants to follow Xie Shang in Liyang, and it is best to do it on their own turf.
"Is this really good?" Shen Jin was quite worried.
Xie An naturally didn't worry, because Liu Yin had already gone to the court because of Liu Yin's indulgence in drinking and indulging in political affairs, and Director Wang had recently begun to discuss with Sima Yan how to deal with Liu Yin.
The land of Wuchang in Jiangzhou, the place where the soldiers must fight, now connects Tao Kan in the west and Yu Liang in the east, and Wuchang is a threat to Jiankang if one of them takes Wuchang, so the court intends to let the Dashangshu Kong Yu take over Liu Yin's position, firstly, the Confucian family has a high reputation, and secondly, the Confucian family has always been a faction led by the prince.
Now that the edict that let Liu Yin leave office has been gone for nearly ten days, it is time to go to Wuchang, and now he is waiting for Liu Yin's reply, Xie An expects that this person must feel that the money has not been earned enough, and how long can it be delayed, so it is best to take this opportunity to hack him.
To do this, first of all, you have to let the Shen Chamber of Commerce let go of the group of reselling merchants, pretend to be afraid of Liu Yin, and send someone to send a generous gift to curry favor with Liu Yin and make him relax his vigilance.
However, Xie An only made a plan for this matter, and he had to report to Director Wang and Sima Yan before implementing it.
After some time, Liu Yin, who received the edict of resignation, did not leave office, but wrote a letter saying that since he was entrusted by Duke Wen, he must inherit his will...... To put it bluntly, I also saw that the Tiangao Emperor was far from reluctant.
If it were in other dynasties, such officials would have already stepped down from their positions, only lamenting that the power is not concentrated enough now, and either side of the assassin is monopolistic, unless he touches the interests of other assassins, such as the interests of his neighbor Tao Kan, he will be attacked by the masses.
At this time, Xie An said to Sima Yan: "Under the whole world, all are the king's land, within the four seas, all are the king's ministers, Jiangzhou is rich, but it is caused by the hard work of Duke Wen and the people, and now Jiangzuo needs his assistance in suffering, but he has announced his private pocket because of this, such corrupt ministers, saying that killing is secondary, at least they have to raid their homes." ā
Sima Yan has just been in power, and the mess left by Yu Liang still needs to be sorted out, and he has been a little dizzy recently, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt that Xie An was talking a little heavy, but it was understandable, he stared at Xie An for a long time, and said, "An Shi, why are your eyes a little strange?" ā
"My junior brother said that I stayed up all night and got out of my eye disease, and now I have some drops of medicine, so there is a pale gold in my eyes."
Xie An could only take Huang Chuping out as an excuse, although the pupil color had faded in the past few days, it had not been completely eliminated, he forced Du Yu for a long time, and Du Yu said that he didn't know.
Although you can't see anything from a distance, you can see that the pupil color has a faint layer of gold on the original brown and black, which adds a bit of evil to the original elegant and handsome appearance.
Director Wang smiled: "Aren't all cats' eyes like this? It's pretty good, too. But you're getting bolder and bolder, and you can think of the trick of robbing goods, once it happens, I'm afraid that Renzu will be responsible for dereliction of duty, after all, you have to do it in his realm. ā
Xie An spread his hands and said: "Liyang and Xuancheng are separated by a river, and when the time comes, you can push the matter to Xuancheng, but I don't know if the lord is reluctant to give up?" ā
Xuancheng is the place under Yu Liang's jurisdiction, and if something happens, Yu Liang will naturally bear it, and if Sima Yan thinks of family affection, Xie An can only give up.
Sima Yan was silent, glanced at Xie An complainingly, and handed over this kind of matter to him to make a decision, it was really flesh in the palms and backs of his hands, and it was not easy to offend either party.
Xie An continued: "As a monarch, when it is time to decide, it should be decided, and the responsibility for this crime is not heavy, but a group of businessmen who have no origin have lost their goods, and now it is a troubled time, how can they complain about people?" After all, Brother Shang is not as powerful as Lord Yu, and he is the new Liyang Taishou, so he can't let him bear the guilt as soon as he takes office, and when the time comes, your uncle and Tao Kan will attack him with a joint move, and we will even lose Liyang. ā
Director Wang smiled and said nothing, just looking at the performance of the two young monarchs and ministers, Xie An thought about everything thoroughly, advanced and retreated, but many swords went sideways, which was unexpected, and Sima Yanchu took over state affairs, everything was just on the road, there were too many concerns, and the importance of love and righteousness was the biggest obstacle to the monarch's domineering road, but it was better at a young age, and he could know people well and listen to suggestions, and he would make progress in a short time.
Sima Yan pondered: "What if after the robbery, Liu Yin still insists on not retiring from the position of assassination?"
"If he dares to transport goods eastward, we will dare to rob as many times as we want." Xie An joked, he didn't expect to see Director Wang glance at him lightly, both of them were foxes, how could they not know each other's thoughts, he hurriedly said, "Teacher, I'm joking." I wonder what the teacher thinks? ā
"One robbery is a warning, a few more robberies, how can Lord Yu sit still?" Wang Daoxun said, "This matter will be put on hold for the time being, and then wait for Liu Tingshi's reply and a new batch of materials to arrive in Jiankang, and it will not be able to wait for a few days, seeing that the eldest princess is getting married, and it will cost too much, although it is very timely, but the wedding ceremony of the eldest princess cannot be simplified, you don't care about the Tai Academy recently, and follow me to deal with the affairs of the treasury." ā
"It's the first time I've followed the teacher to do things, but," Xie An said unrelentingly, "If I want to rob the goods, I have to take 10% of the construction costs of the Tai Academy." ā
Director Wang slapped him on the back with his tail, "Where is your bargaining identity, lord, don't condone him, if you want the Tai Academy, he should figure it out by himself." ā
didn't wait for Sima Yan to speak, he dragged Xie An to retreat, leaving the young lord with a wry smile, it was really one thing and one thing.
ā¦ā¦
The foundation of the Great Jin Treasury, since the Su Jun Rebellion, Xie An has already known the roots, but the money in the treasury cannot be turned into food and materials for the time being, and it needs to be stored in case of emergency, and the most inedible thing in the treasury is tens of thousands of horses of silk and cloth.
"200,000 pieces of cloth, tens of thousands of pieces of silk, the teacher wants to exchange this for money? Now the money in the treasury is used for northern defense and Jiankang construction, plus the eldest princess's wedding, so you are ready to exchange cloth for money? But now the people of Jiangzuo don't have the money to afford such expensive cloth and silk. ā
Xie An couldn't guess what Director Wang wanted to do for a while.
Wang Dao said leisurely: "When Emperor Yuan, he also encountered the emptiness of the treasury, which was even more bleak than today, when there were thousands of coarse cloth in the treasury, and no one cared about it when it was sold in the market......
He didn't say anything at the beginning, waiting for Xie An to answer.
"Yes, I almost forgot that the teacher made a garment out of that coarse cloth, and then made clothes out of this cloth for some celebrities, and it became a trend for a while, so that people all over the world followed suit and bought this cloth, and the price of the cloth was raised."
Xie An then remembered this old matter, it was really Director Wang who did a lot of things to lead the trend, whether it was the incorruptible style of drinking tea, or the fashion trend of using coarse cloth, everything back then was to make money for the court and reduce the burden.
Director Wang gently stroked the soft cloth body and asked, "The cloth here gives you 10,000 horses, can you sell it at a high price?" ā
Xie An immediately turned around, "What does the teacher mean, do you want me to emulate what you did back then?" But the students don't have the reputation of the teachers......"
Director Wang rarely praised lovingly: "Your fame has been very great, it has always been very big, you have been staying in Tai Academy for the past five years, naturally you don't know your fame outside, plus the credit of Su Jun's rebellion, Jiangzuo young men all take you as a model, follow your example of civil and martial arts, and the business of the horse farm has gradually improved over the years, and there are many examples of you." ā
"And recently, you took over as the dean of the Tai Academy, although the children of the scholar clan are still hesitant, but the poor and the common people are all paying attention, and they want to know the conditions for our Dean Xie to recruit students."
Xie An was stunned and said with a smile: "I see, the teacher sees that I have the ability to guide young people, but I think that we should not only sell cloth, but clothes." ā
This time, it was Director Wang's turn and he didn't react.
Xie An continued: "Cloth made of clothing, more money can be sold, and it can also open up the garment industry, now there are still many displaced people in Jiangzuo who have not been settled, can build a garment department, recruit garment workers." ā
"The size of this clothes, you can find several models of large, medium and small, our Jin people are still elegant and thin, and the young people are even less fat, even if my fourth child is only strong."
Director Wang nodded slowly, "This matter is feasible, and the details need to be discussed with Duzhi Shangshu." ā
Du Zhishangshu is Wang Bin of the Langya Wang family, Wang Dao's brother, Wang Biaozhi's father, they are all their own family, so they are naturally easy to discuss, Xie An said for the sake of trouble: "I'll propose a plan, let's let Brother Shuhu handle it?" ā
"You have also been tired recently, take a good rest of your eyes, by the way, Ah Su's father went back to Jiankang for the Midyear Festival, you go to visit before he leaves." Director Wang smiled meaningfully, "After all, my cousin is the one who can really make decisions about Ah Suo's marriage, and he has heard of your name for a long time." ā
The future father-in-law...... Xie An's smile froze slightly, and for some reason he became nervous, and he was stunned in place for a moment before chasing after Director Wang's back and asked, "Teacher, do you have to tell me what kind of character your uncle is......"
Wang Dao Zhengse said: "Our kittens are loved by everyone, so we naturally deal with it." ā
Xie An rubbed his eyes and said: "That's not good, the first impression is the most important, now just my eyes, I'm afraid I'm going to scare his old man." ā
"It's pretty good, and the teacher likes it." Wang Dao Youzai walked slowly, but it seemed to be slow, but he could walk faster than ordinary people, seeing Xie An's appearance, it was really like he had been stripped of a shell, and instantly returned to the appearance of a normal sixteen-year-old boy, and the little fox who was talking about plans was completely two people.
That's how fun it is, Director Wang chuckled, looking at the blue sky of Jiankang, listening to Xie An's footsteps, and his mood was extremely comfortable.
