Chapter 154 The world is bustling
Many, many years ago, after Emperor Qin unified the six countries, he collected the world's soldiers and cast twelve golden people, thinking that the world was safe.
As everyone knows, after Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he did not find the twelve golden men, and after the great search for the world, he heard a shepherd from Lintao say that he saw twelve huge golden men all the way to the west.
Then, Liu Bang believed...... Since then, there has been no news of the twelve golden men in the world......
This kind of story of deceiving ghosts, Yun Chu couldn't figure it out, why did people believe it at that time?
Even people like Xiang Yu believe that it is really a big joke in the world.
It wasn't until he suddenly remembered that most of the blades at that time were made of bronze, and they were the same material as Qin Banliang, that he woke up.
Xiang Yu is also a human being, and he is also a person in temperament, as long as Liu Bang's tribute is enough, it is not impossible for him to say one or two words against his will.
In fact, Qin Shi Huang's method is actually very good, this time, Yun Chu planned to melt all the copper coins he got, and then cast them into twelve sacred cows weighing tens of thousands of catties on both sides of Zhuque Street, so that everyone in Chang'an knows that the wealth of Chang'an can be seen and touched.
With these twelve sacred cows, everyone in the whole world will know one thing - Chang'an City is really rich, and this thing is likely to become an artifact to suppress the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as the emperor is not at the end of the road, he should not use these sacred cows, once they are used, it means that the emperor's country is unsustainable.
This set of rhetoric was matched by Yun Chu to the twelve sacred cows of Chang'an City, just like the Jin people of the Qin Dynasty, who left Lintao and the Qin Dynasty perished.
How to make this statement deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Yun Chu thought that the people of Chang'an City should believe it, after all, their Jin people had already been lost once.
If you throw yourself away again, it won't matter what Yunchu does, and no one can do it to this extent with the nanny.
It is not that there is no copper in Datang society, but in terms of the current social development, it does not use so much copper.
Datang's copper is over-issued.
Since copper has become an indispensable money in people's lives, from the Spring and Autumn Ant Nose Money to the current Kaiyuan Tongbao, copper has been issued as currency for more than 1,400 years, that is to say, people have been looking for copper mines and smelting copper for more than 1,400 years.
First, copper is a metal that is not easy to lose, and second, because this thing is money, people cherish it more, so for more than 1,400 years, Datang's currency has actually been over-issued.
Especially when it comes to the metal used in people's lives, after changing from copper to iron, the stock of copper has always been greater than the demand of social productivity.
Manipulating copper coins, you can harvest the people, this kind of thing has long been discovered, Qin Shi Huang's means of casting gold people, which may not have been taken into account to increase the value of Qin's half two coins.
Liu Bang is a rebel, as long as Qin State insists, he must be opposed, and in addition, with his rogue pavilion chief and the group of low-level officials around him, he may not be able to understand the hard work of the first emperor.
Yun Chu very much hoped that those wealthy families would use Luoyang as a place to release water, so that he only needed to build a dam to plug the leakage in Chang'an.
It's a pity that people fancy Chang'an, after all, this is the time when the emperor is rich and weak after he leaves, and when will he not slaughter the fat pig of Chang'an at this time.
In the past ten years, Yun Chu took advantage of the emperor's relationship with the imperial family to create a stable source of food for Chang'an in the west of the Longyou River.
In the past ten years, Yunchu has taken advantage of the opportunity of cotton promotion in Guanzhong to create a textile industry for Chang'an with cotton cloth industry as the leader, exquisite silk industry and low-end linen as the supplement.
Then the iron taken over by the crown prince Li Hong from the eldest grandson, and the sea salt of Daxingcheng, formed a relatively standardized closed circle economically.
Therefore, the way that the wealthy family is best at doing things in grain has little effect on Chang'an.
For Longyou, Chang'an is too close, and the wealthy families are too far away.
This is why Yun Chu determined that these wealthy families can only use Chang'an real estate as a method.
As for plotting the land outside Chang'an City, it is a big joke, and the Tang Emperors of the past dynasties have already sealed up the land outside Chang'an City.
If those people had hit the poor ground in the hands of ordinary people, it would definitely be a very good opportunity for Yun Chu to hit them.
Yun Chu is looking forward to the situation that his bronze bull is located on both sides of Chang'an Zhuque Street, if it is really achieved, Chang'an will have a better life in the future.
After thinking carefully for three days, Lu Ting, the head of the Fanyang Lu family, finally came to the county government of Wannian County and looked for Master Liu to buy the courtyard of No. 7 Zhuque Street, which was still under construction, and bid 100,000 yuan.
I thought this was a transaction that Master Liu couldn't ask for, but when he came to Wannian County, he learned that Master Liu had gone to Luoyang on business.
The purchase of the seventh courtyard had to be stopped.
At the same time, Lu Ting keenly felt that Hu Cao, who came out to entertain him from Wannian County, seemed to have a lot of criticism about his behavior of investing 100,000 yuan to purchase the No. 7 courtyard.
One by one, they were reluctant to sell the No. 7 yard to him.
Therefore, Lu Ting directly sent a letter of worship to see Yun Chu.
Lu Ting's reputation in Fan Yang is very good, he is a direct descendant of Lu Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his reputation in Fan Yang is also very high.
The so-called good reputation is like that in Yun Chu's opinion, if he is a bully in Fan Yang, his reputation will also be very good, after all, Fan Yang is on the ground, and the words of the Lu family are sometimes more effective than the words spoken by the government.
After the tea was served, the handyman bowed down and retreated, and Yun Chu began to officially take a large number of Lu family heads in front of him.
Lu Ting's reputation is very high, but he is a white body, so in front of Yun Chu, the marquis, he does not have much advantage.
Looking at Lu Ting for the first time, Yun Chu knew that this old guy might live a very long life, which could be seen from his two long eyebrows.
Lu Ting didn't speak, just quietly sipping Yun Chu's good tea, he believed that no matter what, Yun Chu would give him an explanation today.
Yun Chu sighed after pondering for a long time: "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't return to the sky." ”
Lu Ting didn't get angry, and said indifferently: "As it should be, there are many unfair things in this world, and the prosperity that Yunhou seeks is carried out on the basis of reducing the wealth of others, and it is natural to be counterattacked." ”
Yun Chu said: "Why can't you go to Luoyang, so that Chang'an can be quiet for a few years and let them live a good life for a few years." ”
Lu Ting said: "Chang'an is already the rarest rich place in the Tang Dynasty, and when the people are full, they will have nothing to do and no longer be busy.
If people don't work hard, they will work hard, and if everyone works hard, they will starve to death.
The old man heard that once the grass on the grassland was burned by the fire, the spring grass would only grow more vigorously after the next year. ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "When to set the fire, you can't have the final say, it's not fair." ”
Lu Ting smiled: "We don't count, so who has the final say?" Emperor, or government?
For now, the emperor, is it really better for the government to set fire than for us to set fire? ”
Yun Chu nodded, and said to Hu Cao, who was waiting beside him: "Give Lu the official procedures." ”
Tocao bowed and left.
Lu Ting sighed and said, "The prince should lower his eyes from the real estate to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people in Chang'an City."
The old man took his young grandson to buy Hu cakes yesterday, and the price was a little more expensive. ”
Yun Chu smiled proudly, knocked on the table with his knuckles and said: "It's okay, the preparation of Chang'an grain is quite sufficient, and in a few days, the summer grain in Guanzhong will be put into storage." ”
Lu Ting shook his head and said: "Yongzhou has eliminated Chang'an, and all the princes can expect is Chang'an, Wannian and two counties." ”
Yun Chu looked at Lu Ting and said, "It's okay, there is Hexi." ”
Lu Ting shook his head and said: "The old man heard that Hebei is unstable, and there have been two camp roars in Yingzhou, with countless casualties, and the imperial court is going to send a large army to control the situation." ”
Yun Chu smiled: "It's just a disease of scabies." ”
Lu Ting shook his head again and said: "The grassland Turks are also unstable, and the old man heard that Ashina has captured himself as the fifth surnamed Khan, and has already colluded with Li Sha, who is attached to Tibet, and the grain and straw in Hexi may have to be supplied to the Western Regions." ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, Chang'an City has money, as long as the money is given, the world's grain will naturally flock to Chang'an." ”
Lu Ting shook his head with a wry smile; "The Lu family's ten years of accumulation, only 100,000 yuan, the prince took away the Lu family's money with a house.
This is a very good way, why is the prince so twisted and unwilling to open Chang'an to us.
Once the money was spent on the house, there was no money to compete with the prince for the food needed for Chang'an.
The old man knows that the prince has always been proud, and wants to ensure the food supply of Chang'an, but does not allow us to control the economy of Chang'an.
Since ancient times, people have done things with the lesser of two powers. ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "On my territory, you have to listen to me." ”
Lu Ting saw that Yun Chu was stubborn, so he stopped persuading and continued to taste the fragrant tea in his hand, and after a while, Hu Cao came in, and had already completed the formalities for the seventh courtyard, Lu Ting took the formalities, and then left Yun Chu's official office with his grandson Lu Zhaolin.
Before Lu Ting left, Master Liu, who had originally gone to Luoyang on business, came out from behind and whispered: "Cui's is collecting grain at a high price. ”
Yun Chu pressed his hands on the table and said, "Accept it, if he doesn't accept it well, he will be sorry for me." ”
Master Liu said: "The grain in the official warehouse of Wannian County cannot be moved, and we still have thirty-six righteous warehouses in Wannian County. ”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Yes, go and discuss with Chang'an County, and bring in the Yicang in Chang'an County, and it's time for their grain to churn."
Remember to make the price a little higher. ”
Master Liu said with a smile: "I have notified all grain warehouses not to sell grain to Cui's without permission, and Cui's is now hanging the grain purchase plate on the flowing water card in Qujiangli, and the price is a premium of one percent of the market price, which is the reason why the price of grain in Chang'an has risen by five points. ”
Yun Chu sneered and said, "Put the delivery period in six months." ”
Master Liu said: "The lower officials understand that the Yicang parity grain will also enter the hands of the various fangs and markets as scheduled, and they will distribute the parity grain, and the grain price in the grain stack can be appropriately liberalized, and the light and dark price ...... will be implemented."
Yun Chu said again: "Increase the margin of the flowing card to three percent." ”
Master Liu finally said in Yun Chu's ear; "Xia Guan still thinks that after we collect the deposit and distribute the parity grain, will we be able to burn the empty Yicang with a fire?
Can this make the price of grain in Chang'an grain stack rise again? ”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "By the way, Cui Mian will be killed again, only when this principal is gone with the grain, can the price of food rise to a point where we are all satisfied." ”
Master Liu said with a smile: "The price of grain in Chang'an has risen to the sky, and when the time comes, there will naturally be businessmen who will traffic grain into Chang'an, and then let him come to the ground to die, so that the lower officials think that we only need to use the price of 30% in previous years to get the grain needed for the whole year next year, which should be very cost-effective." ”
Yun Chu sneered and said, "The world is bustling for profit, it's really ridiculous to say." ”
