Section 34: A Fresh Wind
After the three of them quieted down, Yun Ye put down the teacup in his hand, pulled out a scroll from behind his back and said to them: "You see, in order to maintain a certain symmetry in the palace, this palace can only be built by the Taiye Pool, of course, the scenery here is also the most beautiful, but the place is not big enough, it needs to be expanded, and the result of the expansion is that it will form a palace group with Hanyuan Palace, in this way, the whole palace will actually look more magnificent, I think the palace under the sunset will be so magnificent." β
"But the more magnificent it is, the more money we will spend," He Shao was now afraid to hear words like magnificence, and he wished to build a palace like a pigsty.
"Niang Niang only said let me build the palace, but did not say that I even want to buy the furnishings in the palace, we are ordered to purchase all kinds of building materials, including Jin Si Nan and white marble, and some other messy things, Jin Si Nan and Han Bai Marble by me to procure, other materials by Lao He to procure, you take a closer look, as long as it is needed to build, we order, order to the locality, this time is not the royal money, so the local see profitable, will definitely open the door to convenience, The 30,000 yuan given by the mother is used to do these things.
If we don't give the money for ordering materials to the local government, but to the state treasury, that is to say, the local government no longer needs to send the treasury money to Chang'an, but only needs to send the goods over, and those servants are no longer working for nothing, they are paid, so there is no such thing as bullying the people, and I think the local government will like this method very much. β
"It's not just that they like it, they must be grateful to Yunhou." The door was pushed open, and Li Jing walked in, followed by Lao Zhuang with a ashamed face, judging from his painful expression, he must have been restrained by Li Jing and couldn't make a sound.
Give Lao Zhuang a smile. It's okay to show up. Let him step aside.
Li Jing sat on Yun Ye's chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and said to Yun Ye, "Go on." Continuing with your plan, the old man is going to invest some money in your house, just outside the door. If you don't listen carefully, you will speak carefully. β
"What the kid means is to let the local government send things over, and the money will be given from Chang'an, and then we will hand it over to the state treasury, which is a part of their tax silver, so that there is one less round trip, and we can reduce the cost by two percent, that is to say, with the income of Xinghuafang, we can basically break even, at most we will work harder. But Lao He, you will make friends with officials in various places in the process, and if you need some kind of goods in the future, it is enough to send a letter to the local government. So. You will always save at least two costs than others, who else is your opponent in this merchant in Chang'an City? β
Lao He's fat face began to glow. Sweat kept dripping, clapping his hands excitedly, and cocking his two thumbs to the sky.
"This means that the old man's capital can't be profitable, right?" Li Jing was very dissatisfied that he had paid for nothing, and he couldn't get any benefits.
"Uncle Li, how can the boy let you work in vain, only eighty-one golden silk nanmu are needed to build the palace, and the kid plans to order a thousand from Shu and form a wooden row to reach the eastern capital from the waterway, what do you think?"
Li Jing is not Li Gang, the waterways of the world are all in his mind, and he understands with a slight movement of his brain that the giant wood Yangtze River goes straight down, all the way to Yangzhou, and then along the canal to the eastern capital, which is indeed an excellent way. β
"Boy, if your business brings in Zhang Liang, the governor of the navy, it will be foolproof. Don't tell outsiders that the old man has also entered the shares of 5,000 yuan, this old face can't afford to be ashamed. With that, he got up and left.
sent Li Jing out, Cheng Chumo and they also said goodbye and went home, these things must be explained clearly to the main people in the family, so as not to misunderstand. Yun Ye looked at the copper coins in the yard and was worried, the old grandmother stood far away, and didn't understand why everyone was carrying money to the house, could it be that the grandson had a big deal to do?
Some words Yun Ye did not say explicitly, that is, the ten wharves that came on purpose, Guanzhong since ancient times has eight rivers around Chang'an, eight water refers to Wei, Jing, Feng, waterlogging, Wei, Zhu, Chan, Ba eight rivers, they flow around Xi'an City, all belong to the Yellow River water system.
Sima Xiangru wrote in the famous Cifu "Shanglin Fu" that "the eight rivers are diverted, and the opposite is different", describing the huge beauty of Shanglin Yuan in the Han Dynasty, and later there was a description of "eight rivers around Chang'an".
Among the eight waters, the Wei River flows into the Yellow River, and the other seven waters all flow into the Wei River, Yun Ye is interested in these huge water systems, they are almost accessible in all directions, even if they can't go big ships, with the current wooden ships, ships below a hundred materials can be unimpeded.
For some reason, the officials of Chang'an only regarded these waters as water sources, and did not even pay attention to the navigation capacity of these rivers, and every time they stood at the head of Chang'an City and looked at the bustling camel caravans and ox carts, Yun Ye wanted to run to ask the officials of Chang'an City what was in their heads, and it was not until Wu Zetian that they began to really face up to the transportation capacity of these rivers.
There is no wharf in Chang'an, watching the cool blue water pass through Chang'an City day after day, Yun Ye is in the era of Emperor Wu who sailed into a forest in Fantasy City.
Anyway, since no one likes water, let me come, the college urgently needs a permanent source of money to support its basic operations. Windfall from heaven, do not take it, but suffer from it.
Just need to simply build a few docks, build some warehouses, and you can enjoy the dividends brought by water transportation forever, and no one has come up with such a simple thing? The northwest is dry land, there are more horseback rides than boats, and once the mind is fixed, you will never be able to get the hang of it?
Li Chengqian's head of the guards came to the Yun family and brought 5,000 yuan of money, saying that it was sent by the prince, and asked Yun Ye to accept it and build a palace for his father.
In other words, this money does not have to be repaid, and it is very clear, but Yun Ye said to the head of the guards: "Brother Lao Wei went back to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, and said that for the sake of him being a poor ghost, I will accept his 5,000 guan into the share capital, and after two years, it will be counted as income, and Yun Ye will not let his 5,000 guan disappear like this." β
The guard's eyes were wide open, his nostrils kept expanding, and he seemed to be unsure of what method to use to face Yun Ye, and finally hugged his fist and left in a hurry, he was really worried that he couldn't help but leave a mark on Yun Ye's face with his fist.
I've seen someone who doesn't know what to do, but I've never seen Yun Ye like this, the prince's kindness has been fed to the dog, and he deeply feels worthless for the prince. The fast horse quickly sent him back to the East Palace, Li Chengqian was flying a kite with his sister in the garden, the kite made of silk was swaying in the sky, Lanling screamed loudly, urging his brother to run faster, so that the kite could fly higher.
Seeing that the guards were back, Li Chengqian handed the kite to Lanling, and took the cloth towel handed over by the waiter to wipe the sweat on his forehead, his sister is really a lot, every girl wants her brother to help them put the kite in the sky and say that it is to prepare for March 3, he feels that he has been running for a day, but when he thinks that Yun Ye also has eight sisters, his heart is balanced in an instant, people are like this, they do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from unevenness, as long as there are worse than themselves, their hearts will be much more comfortable.
"How is it, Yun Ye must be very moved, did you cry?" Li Chengqian has been moved by his selfless friendship several times, when he thinks that Yun Ye sees several carts of copper coins, he will definitely be moved to cry bitterly, let himself just say a word of thanks to a meritorious subordinate, that strong man cried like a baby in the confinement, Yun Ye received his great kindness, it will definitely be more exciting!
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the guard reply, and when I looked up, I saw that the guard seemed to be constipated, and his face was twitched.
At a glance, you can know that Yun Ye must have nothing good to say, but this guard is his confidant, so he doesn't have to worry a lot, and asks directly: "What did that bastard say, tell SΓΉ Gu completely." β
The guard gritted his teeth and knelt down and said to Li Chengqian: "Yun Ye is a big rebel, he said that for the sake of His Highness is a poor ghost, he accepted your share capital, and also said that you will be paid dividends in two years." β
"So arrogant? I thought that he had been pinched by the queen mother for seven inches, and he couldn't think carefully anymore, but I didn't expect him to answer like this, is it a broken jar?
No, this guy never does things that he is not sure of, he must have a fight if he dares to say so, he is all dead, what else can he do? β
He is not the only one who thinks so, Li Er is also asking the eldest grandson: "Guanyin, this problem of yours is tricky enough, that kid, is it possible to turn stones into gold?" β
"Erlang, the concubine feels that things are not so simple, I always feel that when he agreed to build the palace, his eyes were full of banter, it seems that he really has a way to untie this dead knot, the concubine just wanted to embarrass him at that time, let him give up building Xinghuafang by himself, not greedy for his few copper coins, but the concubine felt that the Ministry of Industry would be a big deal for him, for the sake of the face of the court, the concubine had to do this, it is not a good thing for a person to be too outstanding, the concubine was worried that Yun Ye would be hurt."
Li Er smiled bitterly and said to the eldest grandson: "This should not happen under the rule of Ming Jun, the more talents will be reused, but in this world, there is still no room for stunning and brilliant survival." β
The husband and wife were silent for a while.
Li Er looked at the frowning queen and suddenly laughed: "Guanyin, don't worry, no matter how good or bad this matter is, it is a good thing for the country to benefit and the people to benefit, as for the face of the Ministry of Industry officials, you don't have to think about it, is it not allowed to have a smarter person in this world than them?" As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, I don't care about face, I ran to the Weihe Bridge to negotiate with Jieli, and the officials on several corpses of the Ministry of Industry want to have any face. I hope that Yun Ye will win, and I hope that he can blow a fresh wind on this twilight palace. β
