On the official road from Youyu County to Datong, a two-compartment carriage trotted briskly, with a small window on both sides of the carriage, and Zhai Zhe pulled the curtain to relieve the dullness in the carriage. The fields on both sides of the official road were cleaned up, and only the stubble sticking to the ground was cut down by the thorns and trees on the side of the road, and only the fluffy straw roots were set up in the fields.

The autumn harvest season has just passed, the fields grow, and the life in the mountains is a gift from God, and for the people, every grass and tree is a source of livelihood.

The wide official roads were more crowded than usual, and the coachmen had to often steer away from the oncoming carts of mules and horses.

In the car, Zhai Zhe was dressed as a businessman, Zong Mao was by his side, and Ning Sheng and Liu Quan sat opposite him. Zhai Zhe has never ridden in a carriage since he became an adult, but sitting on the soft cushion is much more comfortable than riding a horse.

In the carriage, Zong Mao and Ning Sheng talked about prosperity. Zhai Zhe explained that the future affairs of the Northern Territory of the Shang Alliance will be handled by these two people, and with Zong Mao interfering in commerce and trade, it will be more convenient to deploy materials outside the Saiwai. After learning that Liu Quan was going to let go of the northern business, Ning Sheng's face was full of red light, and anyone could see his self-satisfaction.

Liu Quan leaned on the cushion, silent all the way, his eyebrows slightly closer to the center. The Jurchens were really defeated, which made him breathe a deep sigh of relief, at least for the time being, not to worry about the future of the Shang Alliance.

Zhai Zhe's sudden big move after entering the customs surprised him, just like the grassland battle just past. Zhai Zhe ordered him to hand over the business names of Datong and Xuanfu to Ning Sheng and Zong Mao, but he still decided the business names of Beijing and Shanxi.

This request is not excessive, after all, Zhai Zhe is the major shareholder of Shangmeng. But this is the first time he has reached out to interfere with the pattern of the Shang Alliance, and Ning Sheng, Geng Guang, and even Fan Yi can't make Liu Quan worry that the Shang Alliance will get out of control in his hands. Among these people, only Fan Yi knows some business, but she is only a woman, and most of the shopkeepers of the business alliance have never even seen Zhai Zhe in person, and of course they will not have too much fear of this proprietor woman.

But the result of Zhai Zhe's personal action was completely different, this was just the beginning, and it already worried Liu Quan, because he was the weak one in the cooperation.

"They all say that Jiangnan is good! Brother Liu, you are the only one among us who has been to Jiangnan, what a blessing! Ning Sheng got the real power, and seeing that Liu Quan was a little frustrated, he comforted him softly.

Liu Quan twitched the corners of his mouth and did not answer, sixty percent of the business of the Shang Alliance was in Datong Mansion, but he was worried that it was not the loss of real power, but what Zhai Zhe meant by this move.

"Jiangnan is in Datong, just like Datong is in Youyu." Liu Quan's words are concise, "Twenty percent of the world's wealth is in the capital, and half is in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

"In the capital, we only have to send money, and we can't make money there." Zhai Zhe responded with a smile. Every time he talks to Liu Quanshen, he has gained something, and he appreciates this person's insight.

He had carefully considered letting Liu Quan leave the northern border, and he had opened up a new scene in Jiangnan, and there was really no one in the business alliance who had such means except Liu Quan. In addition, Liu Quan's past behavior still cast a shadow in his heart, Zhai Zhe is also a person from the right side of the mountain, and he knows the temperament of these businessmen. At this time, he is smooth, of course Liu Quan will put aside his thoughts, if there is a one-day reversal, counting on Liu Quan to share the hardships with him, it is almost a fool's dream, the wealth of the Shanyou merchant family is the most important, so his betrayal will make his brother despised. He came up with this strategy because he relied on Liu Quanfang, and the two sides hurt each other when the matter was irreparable.

Liu Quan spoke in a leisurely voice and said: "Jiangnan's money is not easy to earn. Power is the cornerstone of the world, and money is only its appendage. This is his perception of ten years in business, so he was so active in cooperating with Zhai Zhe at the beginning, the Liu family has never been a jinshi, what can he compete with others? Only by the sword outside the plug.

"My power is limited to killing the grassland outside Hukou!" Zhai Zhe laughed.

That's a choke point!

The sun hung in the western half of the sky, and the carriage reached outside the city of Datong.

Everyone got out of the car and walked in, Zhai Zhe walked across the suspension bridge and looked up, the four sides of Datong city walls were neat and slippery, the female wall, the city tower and the battlements were at the zenith, pressing directly on the top of the head, making people suffocate.

This is the iron-cast Datong City!

Recruiting 8

No wonder the Jurchens invaded Datong last year and have not been able to conquer this city, Zhai Zhe sighed that even if he had 100,000 troops, he might only be helpless under this city. There is Shanhaiguan in the east, Datong City in the west, both arches defend the Beijing Division, although the Great Wall in the north has been repeatedly breached, but the Jurchens can not gain a foothold in the pass.

The guards leaned against the gate with spears to inspect the flow of carriages and horses, including elaborately decorated carriages, crude trailers made of rough wood, scribes with lupine scarves, and shirtless and scrawny people.

There were many people going out of the city in the middle of the afternoon, and few people entering the city.

The four of them walked slowly and instructed the coachman to drive back to the business first.

Empty mules and horses walked out from the Datong City Gate, and the men driving the cars had numb expressions. Zhai Zhe knew that it was a farmer selling grain. The deadline for paying taxes immediately one month after the autumn grain is marketed, the peasants must do their best to exchange the grain in their hands for silver to pay the taxes of the imperial court. A whip law combined the field tax and the ding tax into one, and from then on the imperial court only collected silver and did not collect grain, and the price of grain in various places after the autumn harvest affected the hearts of the people of the world.

"What about food prices this year?" Zhai Zhe asked casually.

"This year's harvest in Datong is good, two taels and five dollars of silver and one stone." Liu Quan replied.

"Less than three taels?" Zhai Zhe was surprised, the highest price had risen to five taels and one stone in the past two years, "How much did Shangmeng acquire?" ”

"The rice line has the rules of the rice line, and the business alliance on the right jade side accounts for the majority, but the Datong side does not collect much."

For a business like Mi Xing, which has a very low threshold and is almost guaranteed to make a profit, all places are controlled by their own forces. The price is also set by the guild, and it is a public outrage to dare to raise the price privately, and the business will not be able to do it in the future. Merchants everywhere are also very well-behaved, for example, the merchants of Datong do not dare to go to Youyu to collect grain at will, unless there is a very strong backstage, otherwise the mixed snake will make the offender unable to eat and walk around.

Zhai Zhe understands the truth, just like the business alliance is in Youyu County and outside the killing of Hukou, each business also has its own way.

"We need food!" Zhai Zhe said frankly, "This price is too suitable." ”

"At this price in Datong Mansion, no one dares to move privately, and how much you receive depends on the locality. Right jade is not a place to produce grain, we really can't help it. Liu Quan explained to him. If they want to buy grain again, they have to buy grain from the grain merchants, and of course it is no longer at this price.

"The price will go up in a month!" Ning Sheng interjected.

Zhai Zhe shook his head and said: "Is the price of this year's guild too low, and the price of Jiangnan rice in the land of fish and rice will not be much lower." ”

"What a harvest year! Of course! Liu Quan's tone was slightly exaggerated, and he said: "Datong has only encountered such a bumper harvest year in ten years. Seeing that Zhai Zhe didn't think so, Liu Quan explained: "This price is not arbitrarily set by the guild, like this year's harvest, the people's lives can go on." ”

In a bumper harvest year that occurs once in ten years, the life of the common people can only go on.

The wealth of the rich comes from the exploitation of the poorest, Zhai Zhe is silent.

Do ants also have a day to turn over? Zhai Zhe thought of the wave hundreds of years later, and the power of the Silent Millennial Ones was earth-shattering. (To be continued)
