Chapter 51: On Gains and Losses
Jiang Hexing thought that he was going to preach the holy decree, but he didn't, and he refused to say anything publicly, looking left and right, as if there was something unspeakable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiang Hexing invited him to the secret room, retreated from outsiders, and asked him again, only then did he look at Jiang Hexing mysteriously and said: "He Wang, Xihai County is reversed, do you know?" ”
"I read the new edict from the imperial court a few days ago, saying that Liu Chong, the Marquis of Anzhong, was plotting rebellion and wanted to arrest rebels everywhere, but I didn't hear about any problems in Xihai County."
Yan You said: "Liu Chong is not worried, now that they have all been arrested." Cheng Yong, the Taishou of Xihai County, has fled back to Chang'an, and now Xihai is in chaos. An Han Gong was furious, I think Cheng Yong's life is difficult to protect. An Han Gong had already ordered Captain Dou to attack the West Sea, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the West Sea was pacified. ”
Jiang Hexing looked at Yan You, the Xihai Rebellion has nothing to do with you, it is said that it is also a matter of Zhonglang General Pingxian and Taishou Cheng Yong, don't you come here all the way to just report it.
Oh, I see, Pingxian lured Xihai County, and Yan You persuaded Pingzhou. Now that the West Sea is in turmoil, it is estimated that you are worried about something happening in Pingzhou, so you came here.
Jiang Hexing got straight to the point: "General Yan, are you worried that I will rebel in Pingzhou like Xihai?" ”
Yan You was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Don't misunderstand with the king, I am mainly worried that some of the Liu clan relatives are restless, so I came here to tell the king of He, in case it is used by villains." ”
Jiang Hexing smiled and said: "Gaozu has a saying that the opposite sex cannot be crowned king, presumably General Yan already knows." I am imitating the king of the Huns, and I am crowned king. If the Liu clan relatives look for me, take An Han Gong as their enemy, and General Yan as their eyes, how will they induce me to send troops? ”
Yan You laughed and said, "At most, they will be crowned marquis, and they will never have the reward of the throne." Sending troops with the king outweighs the losses, haha. ”
Jiang Hexing then asked: "General Yan, what do you think, how does my Pingzhou army compare with the imperial army?" ”
"The training of soldiers is equal, and it is difficult to distinguish between them; War horses and weapons, Pingzhou is better. However, although the Pingzhou army is fine, it is difficult to compare the number of the imperial army. Therefore, the power of the imperial court should be above the Pingzhou army. ”
Jiang Hexing asked: "Then if the Liu clan relatives raise troops, can the troops be above me?" If I am inferior in strength, why should I be inferior? ”
Yan You's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he slapped his hand on the bookcase and said, "If you raise an army, and the king must ascend to the throne, how can you allow the Liu family to live on the throne?" ”
Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "The Liu clan may come to me, if I am asked to raise troops in the name of righteousness, will I raise troops?" ”
Yan You shook his head and said, "With the wisdom of the king, no." Their surname is Liu, and righteousness is always in their hands. Even if it succeeds, it is okay to follow the righteousness of the king, but if it does not obey, the righteousness can also use force against the king. ”
Jiang Hexing said: "General Yan has seen it thoroughly, and it is difficult for the Liu clan to persuade me whether it is righteousness or profit." The benefits of Pingzhou lie in peace and commerce. If the world is peaceful, I will not send troops to the Han land. If the world is in chaos and lives are ruined, I dare not say that I will not send troops. ”
Yan You stood up and bowed deeply: "With the king's words today, I should tell An Hangong." What An Han Gong did was for the common people of the world, for the peace of the world, and for the queen to rest easy. I came by boat from Luoyang, and along the river, I have seen the galleon coming to Pingzhou from time to time, and some going to Luoyang. Trade between the two places is booming, and I have heard that several Chang'an businessmen made a lot of money last year, and now more Chang'an businessmen are planning to come to Pingzhou to do business. ”
Jiang Hexing thought that it was a good thing to dispel the imperial court's concerns about the union between him and the Liu family, but it could not make them covetous. Thinking of this, Jiang Hexing said: "The last time General Yan came to my Pingzhou, it snowed heavily, and there was nowhere to go. Just in the past few days, I'm going to go around Pingzhou, can General Yan take a walk together? ”
Yan You is overjoyed, there is more to know here, it will only be good for the future, and there will be no harm.
The next day, Jiang Hexing ordered people to find two four-wheeled carriages, the first one was driven, and he and Yan You sat in the back. In the second car, several guards were dressed in civilian clothes, just in case.
The carriage slowly drove out of the office office, Yan You saw that there was a lot of traffic along the way, bustling, many people knew Jiang Hexing, and they nodded their heads one after another, but it didn't stop there, Jiang Hexing also nodded and smiled.
Walking a street ahead, they came to the business district, Jiang Hexing and Yan You both jumped out of the carriage, walked side by side, and asked the carriage to wait for them at the intersection in front.
Yan You looked at the shops, all of them were tall and tall, all kinds, and the colors were bright. Yan You seemed to be dazzled, why did there appear so many words of Luoyang Chang'an in front of him.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and shops are already open. Because it was summer, the young men at the door of the store were dressed in short clothes, and one shouted loudly: "Silk from Chang'an, silk from Chang'an." At the door of the opposite house, there were also two young men dressed neatly, beating musical instruments while shouting: "Luoyang's pickles, Luoyang's pickles." ”
Yan You was happy in his heart, Chang'an Luoyang's business has been done here. He walked a few steps to the door of this silk shop, the shop was not small, all kinds of silk fabrics and fabrics were placed on shelves, facing a large counter at the door, and a red wooden board was set up next to the counter, and when the wooden board was lifted, it became a path in and out.
Yan You looked this shop up and down, it would cost a lot of money to fill this shop alone, but the rich couldn't afford to open this silk shop. He was sighing, his hand felt soft and slippery, and when he looked down, he was holding a silk horse in his hand. It was as white as snow, and it was unusually smooth to the touch, and it could even slide down if you weren't careful.
Looking at him again, there was a lean young man standing across from him, who had short hair like a Pingzhou person, and looked very refreshing. The black satin dress is very spiritual. The young man smiled and said to Yan You: "Sir, you look at how our cloth is, but the authentic Chang'an is here, you see this silk, whether it is writing or painting, it is a first-class good silk." ”
Yan You looked at this silk, and saw that it was normal, and asked casually, "How much does this horse cost?" ”
The young man came to the spirit and said: "The authentic Chang'an silk on this street, our best and cheapest, 2,000 yuan a horse." ”
Yan You's hand trembled, and the white silk almost fell to the ground.
Yan You looked at the young man and said, "Chang'an Silk is only 400 yuan a horse now." Why is it so expensive? ”
The young man realized that this person's accent was different, and hurriedly said: "This gentleman, Chang'an is thousands of miles away, and our cloth is transported from Chang'an, how many carriages and horses will cost along the way, and how much grain will be eaten, do you know?" Hey, let me tell you, we have just guaranteed 2,000 money a horse, and now we are just starting to do it, this price is now for the preferential price of our people in Pingzhou, and it may be more expensive in the future. Hurry up and buy it, it will be expensive in a few days, and it will be difficult to buy if you miss it. Look at it again, how beautiful it is......."
Yan You is so angry, I can't wait to smash it on the face of a young man with a silk. When he came, it was a sailboat from Luoyang, and when he got on the ship, he saw many people carrying these silk cloths to the ship, although it was thousands of miles away, according to him, the freight was cheaper than Chang'an to Luoyang. It is said that the journey costs a lot of money, and others can, but I have just arrived by boat.
Yan You suddenly said: "I think this silk looks like it was made in Luoyang, not like it was produced in Chang'an." ”
The young man's face did not change and said, "Oh, this gentleman is really good eyesight, and he can even see this." To tell the truth, our Qin family silk in Chang'an is a first-class silk family, Luoyang also has several weaving factories, so the cloth in the two places is exactly the same, it can be said that Chang'an is produced, it can also be said that Luoyang is produced. ”
Yan You laughed angrily at his words and said, "What a sharp tooth." ”
After speaking, he threw the white silk to the counter, and took a step forward, and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the young man grabbed him and said, "Sir, go slowly, if you like it, the price is easy to say, how much do you say?" ”
Yan You didn't want to look at this profiteer anymore, he shook his hand, and his strength was very strong, and the guy stumbled and almost fell. Yan You didn't look back, and strode forward.
Jiang Hexing was next to Yan You, watching him walk away angrily, holding back his laughter, and running to keep up with him. At this time, the young man behind him shouted loudly again: "Hey, authentic Chang'an silk, hey, authentic Chang'an silk." ”
Jiang Hexing couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed, Yan You didn't seem to be angry, and laughed along.
Yan You said: "Hewang, the merchants of Luoyang have such a low freight, but they sell at such a high price here, if you don't care, won't it hurt the people of Pingzhou?" ”
Jiang Hexing turned his head and said: "Rare things are expensive, if there is a steady stream of silk in the future, the price will naturally fall, why should I worry, it's just that the silk shop has a lot of investment for a while, and there are not so many people doing it for a while." Last year, 5,000 dollars were robbed, and this year's 2,000 dollars will scare away you, the general. In less than half a year, I concluded that the silk would not exceed 1,000 yuan, and it was only a matter of time. ”
Looking at Jiang Hexing, he was very confident, Yan You didn't say anything, after all, it was still the merchants of Luoyang who took advantage. I should help them, although I was angry enough just now, I still feel pretty good when I think about it now, as if I have made a lot of money.
