Chapter 305: In Business
Ten beauties in the Xuan Hall are lined up, or ring-fat, or thin, or petite, or tall, and every time they go to the street, they can win 100% of the turnaround.
Among these beauties, there are Goryeo, Japanese, Liao, Champong, and even Dashi.
Some have skin as white as jade, some are wheat-colored, and some are coffee-colored, and standing together is like a Miss World beauty pageant.
And now, as long as Scholar Yang nodded, these beauties were sent directly to his bed.
Forget it, the piano drill at home hasn't been solved yet.
Lin Ruhai, president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, is about fifty years old, his body is very good, his face is round, because of his sparse beard, he looks very white, and his eyes often give people a half-closed feeling, but as long as he pays attention, he can see a shrewd luster flashing from time to time;
The mink jacket on his body knew at a glance that it was worth a thousand gold, and there was no doubt that he could become the president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and he must have a fortune of hundreds of millions.
Well, this name seems to be the same as Lin Daiyu's father, but I don't know if he has such a daughter.
Lin Ruhai had a very detailed understanding of Yang Yi, including the things before he came out, and inquired about them one by one;
When Yang Yi was in Hangzhou, he was a famous prodigal son of Qinglou, and even after entering Beijing, he often had romantic affairs with the Oiran lady in Beijing, so he collected these ten exotic beauties as gifts;
thought that Yang Yi would like it, but now he realized that he had made an empirical mistake.
Old man Qin, it was Qin Zigui and his father who laughed on the side and said: "Brother Lin, I'll just say, what is Yang Xian's nephew, how can he look down on you vulgar fans, don't let people take them down quickly, so as not to be embarrassed." ”
Lin Ruhai got up and shook again and again: "Yes, yes, Lin is not thoughtful, and I hope that Master Yang will forgive him, so Lin will let people take away these vulgar powders, so as not to stain Master Yang's respect." ”
Scholar Yang's face was indifferent, but he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that his romantic reputation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Originally, he didn't want to meet Lin Ruhai, not because he looked down on the businessman, but because he felt that he had nothing to do with this person, and a big businessman like him often came for a different purpose;
But Old Man Qin brought people to the door, and he refuted Old Man Qin's feelings badly, so he had to invite people into the house.
After those warblers and Yanyan were taken down, Lin Ruhai apologized again: "Lin is a vulgar person, in addition to being rude, I also hope that Master Yang will have a lot of Haihan." ”
Yang Yi replied politely: "Our villagers, foresters don't have to be polite, foresters outside the name of kindness I have heard of, a few years ago, foresters donated money and rice to the state school, said that the official has also received benefits from foresters." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Master Yang laughed, Shi Huizhi said that Lin really didn't dare to be, but he just did his duty."
The two sides have been polite for a long time, and those who are anxious may get bored.
But the Chinese exchange is like this, slowly understanding each other in politeness, gradually closing the distance between each other, and only talking about business after the atmosphere is harmonious and the words are speculative;
If you get straight to the point as soon as you come up, it's often a bad thing.
Anyone who does not follow this set of conventions will inevitably run into a wall in society from time to time, and this has always been the case.
Yang Yi has also been in the officialdom for a few years, how can he know nothing about this kind of routine, so he has enough patience.
This kind of politeness lasted for a pillar of incense for a long time, and then the old man Qin asked with a smile: "Yang Xian's nephew, I heard that you are going to burn a batch of seedling trays for sowing seedlings, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" If it were feasible, we could have hired fewer tenant farmers to do the work. Lao Yu and Brother Lin decided to follow Yang Xian's nephew as well, so as to set an example for others to take the lead. ”
Yang Yi smiled, turned around and kicked Qin Zigui again!
He replied: "Uncle Qin, this seedling throwing technique is also my first experiment, and it is difficult to say what the specific effect will be, if you are not afraid to take this risk, I will naturally not refuse." ”
"That's okay, nephew Yang Xian, Brother Lin's family is mainly engaged in porcelain kilns, specializing in firing celadon, just hand over this rice plate to him to Zhang Luo, and make sure that he won't make a mistake."
Lin Ruhai hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, if Mr. Yang can trust Lin, this matter will be handed over to Lin, and Lin will definitely do his best to handle this matter." ”
Yang Yi knew that he was starting to enter the alley, so he said with a smile: "Some small things, don't bother the forester." ”
"Where is this Bachelor Yang, firing some rice trays seems simple, but what Bachelor Yang has done is a major event related to the national economy and people's livelihood, Lin is fortunate to participate, it is Lin's luck, and I hope Bachelor Yang will give him a chance."
"Since the forester said so, then I would be respectful and obey my fate, by the way, the more kiln celadon is famous all over the world, and if you want to come to the forester to operate celadon, it must be a wide source of money."
At the mention of celadon, the smile on Lin Ruhai's face suddenly showed a hint of bitterness;
I only heard him sigh: "Bachelor Yang doesn't know, the Yue kiln Qing porcelain on the shore of Shanglin Lake has been fired for thousands of years, the porcelain clay is becoming more and more difficult to dig, and the surrounding mountains and forests have been cut down early, plus the waterway is gradually silted, it is extremely difficult to turn firewood from the outside, resulting in a large increase in costs, if you use an open flame to burn it can reduce the cost, but it will lead to a decline in the quality of ceramics, and now many private kilns have stopped production, Lin is also unsustainable!" ”
The glaze color of Yue kiln celadon is as crystal clear as jasper, or as translucent as a tender lotus, or as comfortable as a layer of mountains and emeralds, and has been included in the royal tribute porcelain of the past dynasties, and a large number of exports overseas.
The tortoise is covered with poetry: the nine autumn wind and dew are more and more open, and the thousand peaks are green.
This poem praises the Yue kiln celadon, and there are many verses praising the Yue kiln celadon.
But there is a time when everything declines, and Yue kiln celadon is no exception. Historically, the production of Yue kiln celadon was indeed stopped at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In addition to the increasing cost of firing, with the rise of porcelain in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, the impact on Yue kiln celadon cannot be ignored;
Once as the main export of Yue kiln celadon, the status was gradually replaced by Jingde porcelain, the market was compressed, the cost of firing is getting higher and higher, and the production is inevitable.
Yang Yi had roughly guessed Lin Ruhai's intention by now, and sure enough, he only heard him say: "Don't hide it from Master Yang, my porcelain kiln business really can't go on, and I took the liberty to come here today, hoping that Master Yang can give me a way to live." ”
"The forester's words are serious, it's still the same sentence, the villagers, what are the difficulties outside the forester, don't just say it."
Lin heard that Mr. Yang's family produced wine, and he was willing to pay a high price to give half of the annual output of the Yang family. I also hope that Mr. Yang will take care of one or two. ”
Yang Yi smiled faintly, Lin Ruhai's idea is good, to be a regional agent, but now Yi'an wine is an exclusive business, and there is no need to worry about sales at all, last year in the east and west of Beijing was not enough to sell, and with Han Bier's means, it is easy to operate this area in the south of the Yangtze River.
However, there is one point, the wine brewing method is simple, and it must not be monopolized for a long time, even if Han Bier takes precautions, I am afraid that the brewing method will leak out within a year or two;
Then the price will come down.
If you sign an underwriting contract with Lin Ruhai now, it will be of great benefit to the future.
Yang Yi quickly agreed to this matter, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but thank him.
Yang Yi then smiled and said, "I wonder if foresters are interested in maritime trade?" ”
Lin Ruhai replied respectfully: "This Master Yang must also know that overseas trade is indeed profitable, but our ship is small and the risk is also large, and if it is not good, it will be lost." ”
"What if you can buy a big ship?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
The shipbuilding industry of the Great Song Dynasty is now the world's first, and the big ship of 2,000 materials is not a problem, and it can fully withstand the wind and waves at sea, and the fleet of Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty basically inherited the shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty, so there is such a brilliant page.
It's just that at present, the big ships that can be built are the official shipyards of the imperial court, and it is a little difficult for private individuals to buy that kind of big ship.
Lin Ruhai quickly smelled the smell of meat from Yang Yi's words, or the smell of copper;
Ahh Others can't buy a big boat, who is this Yang scholar in front of you?
Lin Ruhai almost wanted to give himself an ear scraper, why didn't he think of this one early in the morning?
"Bachelor Yang......"
Yang Yi interrupted Lin Ruhai's words, and said with a warm smile: "Come on, come on, outside the forester, Uncle Qin, drink tea, drink tea!" ”
Lin Ruhai is a person who knows the opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Bachelor Yang, you have to take care of Bachelor Yang a lot today, if Bachelor Yang has a place to find Lin in the future, Lin will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”
The agency of wine just now is just a business dealing, and Lin Ruhai is loyal to him for the sake of his future.
Yang Yi has always wanted to promote the rapid development of maritime trade in the Great Song Dynasty, and try to increase the commercial tax revenue, so as to greatly reduce the burden on the peasants.
At present, the commerce of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be very developed, but in fact, the commercial tax only accounts for about 10% of the annual income.
Historically, during the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the loss of a large area of land in the Central Plains, a large number of people moved south, forcing many people to devote themselves to overseas trade, which greatly promoted the development of overseas trade.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the total tax revenue of the court not only did not decrease, but increased, mainly because of the rise of maritime trade, which led to an unprecedented prosperity of commerce and trade, and the prosperity of commerce and trade promoted the development of industry.
At its peak, the commercial tax revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty accounted for about 50% of the total tax revenue of the imperial court.
That is to say, every two pieces of income in the Southern Song Dynasty always came from industry and commerce.
This is unprecedented in all dynasties, and after the Southern Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties are far from reaching this height.
The Southern Song Dynasty does not count agricultural taxes, and just one year of commercial taxes is enough for Zhu Hongwu and his subordinates to sit and eat carefree for ten years.
Yang Yi didn't talk directly about sea trade this time, he still needed to go back to Tokyo to do the work of Cai Jing and Zhang Dun;
And as an official of the imperial court, he is not very suitable to discuss these with Lin Ruhai.
It's more appropriate for Han Fox to deal with him, isn't it?
