Chapter 484: Based on Gold
Pang Santian was not afraid, but he was most afraid of Yang Er, listening to him speak, Pang San's momentum weakened a little, he was quiet, and Fang said: "Second brother, what the prince said is naturally for the good of the Wind City Flowers, and I have no objection to this." But now that the situation is urgent, do I have time to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?www.biquge.info Don't be cured yet, your face is already rotten. ”
Zhan Kang said: "Third brother, you don't have to be so pessimistic. The biggest difference between the two of us is, to put it bluntly, just whether it is 'gold-based' or 'material-oriented'. What I have always insisted on is 'material-oriented', and only in this way can we completely get rid of the influence of Tan on us." ”
Yang Er narrowed his eyes again at this time, and said, "Lord Wang, the prince, please forgive the old man for having a reluctant request." The last time we had a meeting, the city lord of Luzhou and the city lord of Qinghe were not there, but it was just the result of the discussion between the prince and the people in our gang, and I think the two city lords don't know much about your dispute. Since the third child has raised doubts, you might as well say your thoughts to everyone. The two city lords are not in our gang, and they don't have much friendship with the third child and you, so it couldn't be fairer. ”
When Ouyang Shen and Lian Yun heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Although the two were not at the scene, they also learned the specific situation from the letter order sent by the king of Yue afterwards, and secretly wondered that since this matter had already been decided by the king of Yue, even if the two of them heard it again at this moment, how could they judge fairly.
Zhan Yande seemed to see the scruples in their hearts, so he said, "You two don't have to think about it. Hehe, to be honest, after so many years, the economy of the Windy City and even the entire Jiangnan has been managed by the dog and the Pang steward, and this king is also a complete layman, and he doesn't know the essentials. The two of them have always cooperated tacitly, but there was a disagreement on this matter, and it was difficult for the king to make a decision that day, so everyone voted to choose, and he actually had no confidence in his heart. The two of them are always the lords of the city, and the economic affairs of the city are also involved, so if you want to see things more clearly than this king, you might as well listen to it. ”
Ouyang Shen and Lian Yun said yes. Ouyang Shen looked at Zhan Kang and Pang San again, and said with a smile: "Then I don't know if the prince will speak first, or Steward Pang will say it first?"
Zhan Kang said: "What I said is quite different from the current situation, let's let the third brother say it first, everyone listens more relaxed." ”
Pang San was not polite, so he cleared his throat and said, "Okay." The two city lords, the prince of Fang Cai said that I was 'gold-based', which was exactly to the point. As I said before, there are eight gold mines in the world, and we have half of them in Fengcheng City, although the total output is not as much as that of a gold mine in Fengzhou City, but the number is also quite considerable, and this is where our advantage lies. ”
"Everyone knows that behind this war now is the group of people who have been controlling the country for hundreds of years - the Tan family, and what the Tan family relies on and values is nothing more than money and interests. Over the years, the prince has slowly planted people in the gold mine, gradually excluding the people of the Tan family, and has already become a thorn in their flesh and a thorn in the eye, if it were not for the Jiang Xing Gang to make a pretense to block outside, how could this step by step be implemented so smoothly? Naturally, we also had a geographical advantage, and half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River were less influenced by the Tan family than near the imperial capital, which was not only the credit of the Jiang Xing Gang, in the final analysis, it was the foundation laid by the first prince through the rebellion of the righteous marquis more than 100 years ago. ”
"Therefore, now that this war is going on, the Tan clan is bound to reoccupy the gold mine, and everyone here is afraid that they will become the target of their attacks. However, as the old saying goes, 'if you have no desire, you are strong', since the Tan clan has a desire for our gold mine, then this gold mine is naturally the best weapon to fight the Tan clan. My idea is that we should try to win over Han Feng and Liu Quan, who are now in Toyosu City, and form an alliance with them, so that we will not only have an advantage in the number of gold mines, but also in terms of production. In the final analysis, the wealth in the hands of the Tan family is nothing more than gold, if we can prevail in quantity and output, then we can naturally make this gold rise and fall. With the initiative, everything is easy to say. ”
Ouyang Shen and Lian Yun glanced at each other, although they were both lords of a city and knew everything about the economic affairs of the city, but when it came to gold, they still belonged to laymen, and Pang San said it vaguely, and it was even more misty for people to hear, and they didn't know why. Ouyang Shen said: "If you say it will rise, it will rise, and if you say it will fall, it will fall? Steward Pang, may I ask what is this going up and down, and what does it have to do with the Tan family?"
"The third brother is a little tired, let me explain this. Seeing that Pang San's hands were already trembling a little after saying that big call, Zhan Kang stepped forward to take over, "If I say something wrong, please correct the third brother." ”
Pang San was arguing with him, seeing that he took the stubble, even if he wanted to admit his affection, his face couldn't get over it, and he was about to refuse, but Zhan Yande had already waved his hand and said, "Third child, you can drink a glass of water next to you and slow down." ”
Pang San reluctantly sat aside and said, "Thank you so much." ”
Zhan Kang said: "Why should the third brother be so polite to me. After speaking, he turned to Ouyang Shen and Lian Yun again, and said: "The two city lords may have always only used gold as money, but they forgot that while the people used gold and silver to buy things, it was also the merchants who were exchanging things for gold and silver with the people, and in the final analysis, it was still just an exchange of goods. ”
"Gold, silver and bronze can be exchanged for things because everyone is willing to accept it. Compared with rice grains, they are easy to preserve, and compared with dark iron and purple gold, they are easy to cut and polish. Among these three, gold is the most precious, which is why gold is so important, and Tan is also concerned about this. Whether it is a gold mine or a tax revenue, what finally falls into the hands of the Tan family is gold, which has been accumulated for hundreds of years, and it can be said that the Tan family itself is the largest gold mine in the world. And as the so-called 'gold in troubled times', now that the war continues, and the people are holding gold in their hands and refusing to sell, it is when the price of gold is the highest, so the Tan family has more capital to coerce the future court to give them enough benefits, but if it is at this time...... Suddenly there's a lot of gold on the market?"
Lian Yun thought for a while and said, "Are you saying that we will unite with them in the West to release a large amount of gold in our hands? In this way, when the people see that we are unwilling to release the gold in our hands, they will inevitably gradually release the gold in their hands." The people of Jiangnan are already richer than those in other places, and if the gold in their hands can be released, it will also cause a considerable blow to the Tan family. ”
Zhan Kang said: "Yes, that's what the third brother meant. And if there is more gold, the price of other things will naturally go up, especially grain and grass. Now we are the only ones in the south of the Yangtze River who are not short of grain and grass, and we can harvest a handful of wheat in late spring...... According to what the third brother saw, he just took advantage of this to make a fortune. And the gold earned from selling grain and grass can continue to hit the Tan family in turn. It's best for us to do that. Speaking of this, he paused, turned around and asked Pang San: "Third brother, is there a problem with what I said?"
Pang San shook his head, and the expression on his face was much more soothing than Fang Cai: "Let's also ask the two city lords to talk." ”
