Chapter 248 How to assist the British Lord

The big eyes are black and white, the long willow eyebrows are stretched like a sword, and there is a hint of strength in the playfulness, for Mi Fang, this pretty face, this look, he is very familiar.

When she was a teenager, every time her little sister made a calculation to win the eldest brother, or used some prank to successfully trick herself, she would put on such a look. Some playful, some proud, big talking eyes blink and wink, as if to say, "This time I won again."

The heart that had been hanging for almost a month finally fell to the ground, and a burst of ecstasy came to my heart, regardless of the absurd behavior of the younger sister leaving home without permission and rashly applying, Mi Fang got up in a hurry, and waited to come forward to recognize him.

A sharp pain on his toes stopped him, and he turned his head in astonishment, seeing that his eldest brother looked calm, and he had no intention of coming forward to admit his relatives at all. The eyes that swept over inadvertently seemed meaningful.

Although she didn't know why, Mi Fang knew that the eldest brother really had no intention of recognizing each other at this time, at least he didn't plan to take the initiative to recognize his relatives.

Although Mi Fang's temperament is a little impatient, she has always been respectful of her brother, and she knows that now is not the time to ask, so she can only suppress herself and swallow back the call that came to her mouth.

This series of changes is in the blink of an eye, Mi Fang is in a hurry, but he didn't catch his breath, and he came out with a big red face, but called Gong Tianda is belly slander: Mi family old 2 really hasn't grown much, isn't she just a beauty? As for it?

When Mi Fang's embarrassment arrived, the big eyes on the other side were bent into crescent moons, full of smiles: the worst is the second brother, who always dreams of ascending to the sky in one step, and he is unwilling to work hard, but instead fights the idea of making himself a gift all day long, so that he can suffer a little embarrassment and save him from being a thief.

"This is Guoyuan Guozi Ni, the chief bookkeeper of the Assassin History Mansion......"

Taking in the expressions of the Mi family brothers, Wang Yu's heart was bright, he didn't break it, and introduced each other to each other like no one. The Mi brothers play a greater and more far-reaching role in Xuzhou, and they are not in a hurry to bring it closer to the shogunate and maintain the status quo, so there is also a need for someone to command and dispatch in Qingzhou.

Guo Yuan has a wide range of practical aspects, so that he can devote a part of his energy to take care of business in addition to Tuntian, which can be regarded as making the best use of people. As for the other one, Wang Yu narrowed his eyes and hid his smile.

"This is Ni Zhen girl, the two of you should also hear that her talent in arithmetic can be described as amazing, and she knows the way of doing business, so Yu opened a special case and recruited for the shogunate, and everyone should be closer and closer in the future."

Mi Fang was dumbfounded and couldn't answer, but Mi Zhu behaved very calmly, bowed his hand, and said: "Mi Zhu of the East China Sea, I have seen Mr. Zini, Ni is engaged in ......"

Mi Zhu's eloquence is quite good, and he speaks without a local accent at all, but the word 'Ni' is vague and vague, and it sounds like biting his tongue.

"Brother Zizhong is polite." Guo Yuan doesn't know what to do, his talent is mainly in government affairs, and he is not very good at observing words and feelings; Mi Zhen, who was wearing men's clothes, couldn't help laughing, and returned the salute to her brother with Guoyuan, and she looked like she was up.

Gong Tian, a smuggler of salt, was much more sensitive to the atmosphere, squinting a pair of small eyes, sweeping around the faces of both sides, trying to find some clues.

Wang Yu didn't pay attention to it so much, he was very busy now, very busy, since he had confirmed the relationship with the Mi family, then there was no need to make any more temptations, and it was only right to directly unfold the plan.

He waved his hand, motioned for both sides to sit down, and said: "The sea salt trade is just the beginning, the trade blueprint drawn by Yu is far more than that, Brother Zizhong, the new paper sent before, can you pass?" ”

Mi Zhu said respectfully: "The prince is highly talented, first build a academy, then make new paper, educate the people, and the merit is comparable to the ancient sages." ”

"Brother Zi Zhong praised it falsely," Wang Yu shook his head with a smile, "Not to mention that papermaking was not invented by a certain person, even if it was, the original intention of such and such was not as far as Brother Zizhong thought." In business, Brother Zizhong still don't stick to those vulgar etiquette, just go straight, if it is sold in Xuzhou, how is the sales of this paper? ”

Mi Zhu groaned slightly, and asked without answering: "That means the prince and the production cost of this paper." To Zhu, sell paper or at a high price, for the family Haoqiang, to win with fine; Or at a low price, for the people, to win by quantity. ”

"The main raw material of paper is bamboo, the cost is not high, if the organization is effective, the scale can be done, the cost will be further reduced...... Wang Yu did not conceal it, the relevant information and discernment of the new papermaking technology.

He didn't plan to organize production by himself, the Mi family in the East China Sea has hundreds of millions of wealth, nearly 10,000 guests and servants, and has a lot of business experience, so it is the most convenient to hand it over to them to organize.

In fact, his new papermaking technique, that is, a little brains on raw materials, is not much better than the original papermaking technique, even without him, according to the original historical process, the popularization of paper is not very far away.

So, there's nothing to keep secret.

He felt that it didn't matter, but the Mi brothers were very excited, although they understood Wang Yu's painstaking efforts to let them stay in Xuzhou, but they inevitably still felt left on the periphery. Now Wang Yu has made no secret of them, which just dispelled this doubt.

"In this case, the people of Xuzhou are rich, especially rich, in Zhu's opinion, it can be completely ...... from high and low" Talking about business, Mi Zhu is no longer graceful and elegant, and he talks eloquently, but looks like a vertical and horizontal family.

He talked about all aspects from production to sales: the location and construction of the workshop; how to use other businesses to hide raw material information; How to adjust the sales strategy according to the output, many of which Wang Yu did not expect in advance, but it sounds familiar.

Wang Yu thought about it carefully, only to find out where this familiarity came from, and there seemed to be some similar content in the business information of later generations, especially how to keep business information confidential.

At the time, I thought it was very powerful, but now that I come, it is just the wisdom left by my ancestors, and entrusting the work to professionals is worry-free.

As the understanding of Mi Zhu became more and more deep, the next things became more and more smoothly discussed, Wang Yu only pointed out the general idea, and did not ask about the details at all, but let everyone present improve the discussion by themselves.

In addition to salt and paper, Wang Yu's ideas also include smelting, tea, coinage, wine, etc., which is almost an improved and strengthened version of Sang Hongyang's commercial policy in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Most of them were the result of his deliberations with Tian Feng, Guoyuan, and others, and a small part of them were enhanced by him according to the knowledge of the leading times.

With the deepening of the tacit understanding, Mi Zhu's admiration for Wang Yu is also becoming more and more profound, he doesn't know how the other party can understand so much knowledge that ordinary people don't know at a young age.

For example, the tea, who would have thought in advance that the tea market that Wang Yu booked was in Liaodong, and even the grassland and desert? If it wasn't Wang Yu, no one knew that tea also had the effect of preventing diseases, especially for those who lived on the grassland and couldn't eat vegetables for a long time, this thing can be called a panacea.

In addition, Wang Yu also put forward the concept of large-scale maritime trade, tea and ceramics, which he specially selected for the purpose of maritime trade.

These prophetic insights opened Mi Zhu's horizons and allowed him to enter a vast space beyond traditional commerce, and the more he pondered, the more he could feel the far-reaching intentions contained in them.

He was immersed in this, and he was so intoxicated with it that until he came out of the Assassin's Mansion, his mind was still in a trance, and when he walked, he was one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if he was drunk.

"Big brother, big brother!" From the moment he left the council room, Mi Fang tried to wake up his brother, and at first the voice was very quiet, and after finding that it had no effect, he raised the volume a little more. When he left the mansion, he simply leaned into Mi Zhu's ear and shouted loudly.

"Uh, oh?" Mi Zhu woke up like a dream, glanced at his younger brother, and asked blankly: "It's Zifang, what's the matter?" ”

Mi Fang rolled her eyes, "Big brother, what do you want?" Just now the prince said goodbye to you, but you just smirked, and always warned me to abide by etiquette and pay attention to your image, alas, what's wrong with you! ”

"If you think about it for a while, the prince shouldn't be surprised." Mi Zhu came back to his senses, smiled and waved his hand, and added a footnote to his judgment: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, the prince is a real hero, as long as we execute the plan perfectly, where does he care about these little things?" ”

"That's right, the prince is not very old, but this bearing is really ......" Mi Fang was also full of emotion, but his mind was not on this, seeing that his brother had returned to normal, he hurriedly said the questions he had held back for a long time, hoping that his brother could solve his doubts.

"Big brother, why don't you let me recognize my little sister on the spot? I haven't been in contact with it before, I don't know that Junhou is such an easy-going person, but now I know, he is also very important to his little sister, and he recognizes his relatives on the spot, and then takes advantage of the momentum of the big wedding, and pushes the boat down the river to kiss and kiss...... Wouldn't it be good? ”

Mi Zhu smiled slightly and said, "Zifang, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, so I have always said that you should study more and think more about things when you encounter problems......"

"Alas, big brother, don't talk about this, my ears can hear calluses." Boss Mi Fang shouted impatiently: "I don't understand the iron and tea you said just now, I've been thinking about this matter for a long time, you can do well, don't hang my appetite." ”

"You......" Mi Zhu glared at his younger brother, with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel, "You only think about the benefits of marriage, have you ever thought about what the prince is thinking, what the little sister is thinking?" With the prestige of the prince right now, do you think there will be a shortage of women around him? If so, he only wants a few women, he hooked his fingers, and the princes still don't squeeze through the threshold of the Qingzhou Thorn Mansion? ”

Mi Fang was dumbfounded: "That ......"

"In my opinion, the prince and the woman seem to like both talents and appearances, and before getting married, the longer they get along, the more harmonious they are, the more they love ......"

"And that kind of thing?" Mi Fang's eyes widened suddenly.

"If you think about it carefully, you will know that Cai Gong's daughter, as well as the lady Diao Chan from Situ Mansion, you must know that this wedding, although Mrs. Cai is the main one, and Mrs. Diao Chan can only be regarded as a concubine, but in terms of etiquette, the two are the same!"

Mi Zhu looked at his younger brother's eyes and said very seriously: "From this, it can be seen that the prince is a person who values love and righteousness, and since the little sister has entered the princely shogunate, her fate will be left to her by herself." Take 10,000 steps back, even if she has no relationship with the prince, the shogunate is full of talents, and the future is even more unlimited, which one is worse than those in Xuzhou? ”

"I see, big brother is wise!" Mi Fang suddenly realized.

"These are all later words, and the key now is to do a good job of the things entrusted by the prince."

Mi Zhu changed his words and said: "You and I are here to be an envoy, I can't leave before the ceremony is completed, and in addition, there are still many things to discuss about the details of the plan...... I will repair a letter, you take it back to the East China Sea first, present it to Tao Gong in person, and then according to what I said, go back to Qu County to mobilize manpower and make preparations, the stakes are very high, and you must not be negligent. ”

Mi Fang responded in a deep voice: "Big brother, don't worry, it's about the future of my Mi family, how dare I be careless?" ”

"That's fine." Mi Zhu nodded, thousands of pride surged in his heart, and the ghost envoy said: "This time, the future of my Mi family is really limitless." ”

……

Mi Fang traveled day and night, and in less than three days, he rushed back from Linzi to Xuzhou Zhizhi, Tanxian, and met Tao Qian in the study of the Thorn Mansion.

"Peng Ju this son, the old man felt extraordinary when he first saw it, and now, his achievements are even more remarkable than the old man imagined, and the thinking is far-reaching, far beyond the old man's imagination, amazing, great. Zizhong won his master, with his talent, his achievements are limitless, limitless! ”

After Mi Zhu's letter, Tao Qian was also amazed, and in front of Mi Fang, he sighed.

"Dare to ask Tao Gong, this is limitless...... How do you explain that? ”

When she was in Linzi, Mi Fang was confused by her brother's statement. When asked, Mi Zhu felt speechless and refused to explain more, but just urged his younger brother to go on the road.

After traveling day and night for a few days, Mi Fang easily forgot about this stubble, who would have thought that Tao Qian would come again. Mi Fang's stomach was already relatively shallow, so she couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart at this time, and had the courage to ask Tao Qian.

"Zizhong himself should have understood, so the old man will give you some hints." Tao Qian has never been very interested in Mi Fang, but he is in a good mood today, Mi Fang doesn't ask, he also wants to find someone to talk to, so he simply took this opportunity to explain together.

"Zifang, your Mi family is a wealthy businessman's family, do you know who are the most accomplished businessmen throughout the ages?"

"Yue Guo Fan Li, Qin Guo Lu Buwei ......" Mi Fang doesn't learn and has no skills, but this kind of content that is closely related to his own family, he can still come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Yes, it's not." Tao Qian nodded noncommittally: "Fan Li worked hard, but he couldn't use it, and in the end he could only go boating in the rivers and lakes and be a rich idler; LΓΌ Buwei has exhausted all his organs, and the end is also alarming, and these two people assisted the king, and they did not use merchant methods, so they were not the most accomplished businessmen, and they could not be the same as Zizhong. ”

"That ......" Mi Fang's breathing became heavy, confused and proud.

You know, Lu and Fan are the idols of businessmen, the ultimate goal, and the achievements of the eldest brother are still above them? Is it possible? But Tao Gong is steady, it is impossible to pretend to be amazing, and there is no need for this, so the big brother ......

The next moment, he held his breath and listened to Tao Qian's words.

"Doesn't Zifang hear the story of serving silk and descending to Luliang, buying deer to make Chu, and buying fox to descend?" Tao Qian smiled and said: "Zizhong's talent, although it is not as good as the sages, but it is the master of the heroes, so although the talent is not as good, it has the potential to ride the wind, and the achievements are above the sages, which is not surprising." ”

With that, he pushed the door open and laughed, leaving Mi Fang standing still.

Mi Fang didn't quite understand the deep meaning of Tao Qian's words, but he knew those allusions.

The sage that Tao Qian said was the famous minister of Qi State! He assisted the Duke of Qi Huan, and used the means of commercial warfare to strike at the surrounding neighbors, and established the status of the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period in one fell swoop.

Silk is a neighbor of Qi, Lu and Liang, Guan Zhong persuaded Qi Huan Gong to wear silk clothes, and ordered the ministers to wear silk. Up and down, the people of Qi all wore silk clothes for a while, and the price of Qi Guoxuan rose sharply.

Guan Zhong also specially said to the merchants of Lu and Liang: You sell me a thousand horses, and I will give you 300 catties of gold; sold 10,000 horses and gave 3,000 catties of gold. Attracting the common people of Delu and Liang to transport the silk to Qi to sell at a high price and obtain profits.

The fiscal revenues of Lu and Liang rose sharply. The kings of these two countries demanded that their people weave silk threads. A year later, almost all the common people of Lu and Liang were busy weaving and transporting silk, thus giving up agricultural production.

When the time was ripe, Guan Zhong persuaded Qi Huan Gong to change to wearing silk clothes, and did not let the people wear silk again, and "retreated, without communicating with Lu and Liang", ten months later, "the people of Lu and Liang were hungry and discouraged", even if the kings of the two countries urgently ordered the people to return to farming, it was too late, and it was impossible to produce grain in a short time.

As a result, the price of grain in Lu and Liang soared, and the people of Lu and Liang spent thousands of yuan per stone to buy grain from Qi State, while the price of grain in Qi State was only ten yuan per stone. Three years later, the kings of Lu and Liang had to submit their posts to the courtiers, and the state of Qi settled the two neighbors to the west without spending a single soldier.

Coincidentally, Guan Zhong used the same routine to buy deer to make Chu and buy foxes to descend to the generation, attracting the people of Chu to hunt deer and catch foxes on behalf of the country, which disrupted the economy of the two countries, and then solved the strong enemies in the north and south.

Mi Fang doesn't understand the principle of economic warfare in Guan Zhong's three strategies, but he knows one thing very well, Tao Qian quoted this allusion to put Wang Yu above Qi Huangong, although Mi Zhu is not as good as Guan Zhong, but he can take advantage of the situation to achieve a position close to Guan Zhong!

For him, that was enough, enough for him to be thrilled and tremble! (To be continued.) Please search for literature, novels are better and faster!)
