Yongke retired, and Cai Qiao said to Cai Wei: "Miss, do you really plan to be the master of the Yong family?" ”

"Of course, we have to be on the table, the construction of the Silk Road is difficult, and it is really difficult for us to support it, and it is good to have the support of the wealthy family, but." Cai Wei paused for a moment and said: "The lord has always done things cleanly and never finished badly, I don't expect the lord to agree to Yongke's contract." ”

"Then we still have to build the road ourselves, and we have offended the Yong family."

"I'll have my own way then." Cai Wei glanced coldly at the direction where Yongke disappeared, and slowly clenched his pink fist.

Chengdu.

Liu Zhang returned to Chengdu, after bathing in clear soup, lying on the bed, Huang Yue gently kneaded his back for him behind the bed, and he had been on the expedition for a few months, and he had not been so comfortable for a long time.

"Bao, Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, Wang Fu, and Zhang Song ask to see you."

"Call in."

The four of them entered together, and Liu Zhang closed his eyes and said, "How is Jing Yi's condition?" Commerce, artisan's house, agriculture, taxes, give me a rough report. ”

Huang Quanyu said: "Everything is very smooth, business has been on the right track, now that farmers have grain subsidies, not only the enthusiasm of growing grain has increased, but also have surplus money, and they are willing to buy some daily necessities, and the momentum of commercial agriculture within Jingyi is good."

On the Jiangdong side, trade is frequent, our grain purchase price is high, many Jiangdong clans are willing to sell us the grain to be sold, and Jiangdong has become our white porcelain, Shu brocade, silk and satin largest consumption place, white porcelain alone, for our finances to bring huge tax revenue.

Now individual merchants in Yizhou are vying to buy white porcelain from the mouth of Qujia kiln, and some of our official merchants have also entered Jiangdong to sell. A lot of money was collected.

Cao Cao of the North. Although the products of Shuzhong are not very welcome. But it is also not suppressed enough, the things in Shu are cheap and practical, such as paper, cheap books, and the northern clans buy them in large quantities, and it is impossible for them to give up, which comes from this. It is impossible for Cao Cao to cut off trade with us, and we can also indirectly buy grain from the northern clans and sell them precious things such as Shu brocade and white porcelain.

As for the west, after the war between the independent prince and Xiliang, it became extremely difficult for Sichuan merchants to go to the Western Regions, and they could only transfer through merchants from other regions, which increased the cost, and the trade was not as good as before. There is still some income, and all major merchants are vying to buy Wuxi's specialties. Complements our lack of meat, wood and medicinal herbs.

With the exception of trade, that is, banks and workshops, the rate of growth of our workshops, because of the limited purchasing power of the common people, and the competition of private workshops, has slowed down considerably, or even stopped, and only a few workshops, such as paper, are still increasing.

However, the income of the bank under the control of Mr. Zhang, the investment official and private workshop merchants, has reached half of the income of the workshop, and it continues to grow with the expansion of business, which is something that the subordinates did not expect at all.

And because of the guarantee of the pastoral treasury, more and more people and businessmen put money into the bank, now every county in Yizhou has branches, Chengdu, Hanzhong counties have branches in each county, Jingzhou is also being distributed one after another, businessmen do not want to take a large amount of money on the road, are deposited in the bank, convenient to withdraw in other places, now the bank's money, is about to catch up with the money of the treasury.

This is the commercial situation in Yizhou, as for Jingzhou, workshops and merchants are not common, now the merchants rising in Jingzhou are basically by transshipment of goods in Shuzhong to Jiangdong and the north to make money, their own production and sales are very few, but because Jingzhou waterways are smooth, extending in all directions, many Jingzhou merchants have also made a lot of money, and many big businessmen have appeared.

In terms of agriculture, Guanzhong was in turmoil, especially this time the Xiliang army gathered the 47th Route Coalition Army to attack Sichuanzhong, the chaotic army walked through the streets and alleys, trampled on the fields and destroyed the land, countless Guanzhong people poured into Hanzhong Xiangyang, after the lord defeated the Xiliang army, the beacon smoke was everywhere, and the people moved south in large numbers again, and now Guanzhong has been uninhabited for thousands of miles.

As a result, the population of Xiangyang and Hanzhong increased greatly, and some of them continued to migrate southward, coupled with our migration of the barbarians and Wuxi barbarians in the south of Qiangqi in western Sichuan, the agricultural population increased considerably.

The craftsman's house has launched all kinds of new agricultural tools, the official family has provided the people with cattle, Huang Junshi, oh no, Huang Junshi, oh no, Huang Niang's new mixed planting method, two crops of rice and two crops of wheat, new water conservancy, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the Kangding battalion to settle fields, these measures are believed to be effective this spring.

As long as there are no natural disasters in the autumn, the subordinates dare to guarantee that the grain will be at least twice as large as last year, and that the harvest level of previous years will be restored, and that next year it will definitely be able to surpass that of previous years.

As for the tax aspect, after the growth of agriculture and commerce, the tax will naturally increase, but there is still more money and less grain, this time the lord conquered Xiliang, fortunately he got some grain back from Tianshui and other places, otherwise Hanzhong could not even keep the basic grain stock, and the land of Xiqiang, often famine, if you want Xiqiang not to rebel, I am afraid you will have to supply food.

The lord's strategy against the Qiang barbarians has been stable for a long time, but the barbarians have begun to grow grain to alleviate the food supply, and the Qiang people have not yet done so, and it is impossible to plant in the land of the Qiang people, and the consumption is very large, and we still have to stock up for the war in a few years, so that the food is tight.

However, as long as we rest and recuperate with peace of mind, with the people's will of Jingyi, the enthusiasm of production, the conscientiousness of officials, and the pioneering spirit of businessmen, we will surely be able to make Jingyi prosperous in a few years. ”

After Huang Quan's long report, Liu Zhang nodded and asked Wang Fu, "What about Chengdu?" Especially the craftsman's room. ”

"Chengdu and Jingyi are in the same situation, very good, with the prosperity of commerce, the rise of Chengdu Xicheng South City, the expansion of the city, the people are satisfied with their lives, and many people from the Western Regions Hu and even farther away come to visit, more prosperous, as for the craftsman's house."

Wang Fu was embarrassed, glanced left and right, and said stiffly: "Now my subordinates are only in charge of the ordinary craftsman's room, and the intermediate craftsman's room occasionally asks about it, and the improvement of paper, waterwheels, etc., as well as cloth, porcelain, etc., are all on the right track, as for the senior craftsman's room...... Ma Jun did not allow his subordinates to interrogate. ”

Wang Fu said a little depressed, before, at the beginning of the implementation of the new policy, Chengdu was the pilot place for all the new policies, Wang Fu was called a busy, what four imperial examinations, what land order, what craftsman's house, what monitoring family, he had a county order, to do the ten county orders under Cao Cao Sun Quan.

Now it's good, the land order, the four imperial examinations are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, whoever dares to say that the land is abolished, the majority of the people will have to spray him to death, who dares to say that the four imperial examinations are abolished, those who spend dozens of dollars to buy the paper classics that used to cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy, those who are immersed in hard reading, and those who are determined to get ahead at the bottom, they have to fight hard with you.

Wang Fu doesn't have to care at all, he doesn't need to monitor the clan, the clan is gone, what else is there to monitor, all of a sudden, Wang Fu has become an ordinary county magistrate, doing ordinary things.

If it was Wang Fu in the past, he might not feel anything, but just like those old people who have worked all his life, can he enjoy happiness when he is old? That's called idleness, Wang Fu finished the book every day, and always felt that he still had something to do, but he couldn't find anything.

So Wang Fu wanted to manage the craftsman's room, the junior craftsman's room was fine, the intermediate craftsman Fang Zuo Bo was reluctant to give Wang Fu a charge, and he was secretive about the development of new products, Ma Jun did even more, and said that he was also a marquis, and his official rank was on par with Wang Fu, so he didn't care about it at all, and Wang Fu was depressed.

Liu Zhang listened to Wang Fu's words, pondered for a while, and said: "It's my fault, the craftsman's room, the bank, etc. are all new institutions, endowed with different functions, resulting in unclear responsibilities, Lord Wang, the craftsman's room, just keep an eye on the junior ones in the future, and most of the senior craftsmen's houses belong to the military and will be taken over by the military." ”

"Oh, yes." Wang Fu was even more depressed.

Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Is Lord Wang dissatisfied with Benhou's arrangement?" ”

"Subordinates don't ......"

"You are all the confidants of this marquis, don't be wrong." Before Wang Fu could finish the word "dare", he was interrupted by Liu Zhang.

Wang Fu paused for a moment and said: "Lord, the subordinates are really not dissatisfied, but now Jing Yi is still working hard to resume production, and Lord Huang and others are all exhausted, because Chengdu is a state governance, and the people love the lord, live and work in peace and contentment, and are the first to get on the right track, and there are fewer and fewer things that need to be paid attention to, and the subordinates feel that their county order position is becoming more and more like a fictitious." ”

Huang Yue gently pinched Liu Zhang's shoulder, Liu Zhang moved Huang Yue's hand down a little back, Huang Yue hated Liu Zhang's old man's appearance, and pinched Liu Zhang's back dissatisfiedly, and gently pinched it.

When he was comfortable behind his back, Liu Zhang said to Wang Fu: "What's this, Chengdu is a state and a place of governance by the Hou, and you can govern this place in peace, which is already a great achievement."

According to ancient legends, Bian Que had three brothers, Bian Que was good at treating serious diseases, the second brother was treated when the patient's illness was not serious, and the eldest brother was prevented when the patient was not sick.

Now that Lord Wang is Bian Que's eldest brother, does Ben Hou have to wait for something to happen in Chengdu and Lord Wang settles the matter, so that he thinks that Lord Wang is a capable minister? As long as Lord Wang governs Chengdu well and makes Chengdu's agriculture and commerce develop steadily, it is the greatest credit, and there is no need to mind anything else. ”

Wang Fu listened to Liu Zhang's words, and immediately bowed: "The words of the lord have made his subordinates suddenly open, and Wang Fu will be cautious in the future and strive to ensure the stability and prosperity of Chengdu." ”

At this time, Liu Zhang saw Zhang Song smiling proudly on the side, and asked strangely: "Yongnian, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Oh, nothing, nothing." Zhang Song hurriedly waved his hand, Zhang Song was just proud of the spring breeze, and couldn't help laughing, thinking that he was still complaining about Huai Cai two years ago, and now it can be said that the wind and water are rising, it is the years that are like a shuttle, and the vicissitudes of life.

At the beginning, he was just a small master, he didn't accept the plan, and he had no real power, but now, the lord has set up a new position for himself, not only in the top position of Juelu, but also the money that has flowed in his hands, as Huang Quan said, is equivalent to half of the treasury, approving a list every day, or investing in workshops, or building merchants, and making tens of thousands of profits, and he never thought that he would have this day.

I used to think that I didn't meet talents, but now I am finally down-to-earth, and the position of president is really worthy of my talent. (To be continued.) )
