Chapter 68: Return to Beijing

Is it good or bad that the wood has been soaked in the sea water for more than ten days?

He Xi didn't know.

In the end, though, there was a concession. The last one was sold in eight taels. When this boat came down, there were more than a thousand taels. This is still just beginning, the number is not up, and the forest farms that are now opened up are not familiar. Even labor is not enough. At sea, because of the binding, more than a dozen logs were lost.

will have this result.

Even so, after removing all the costs. Profit at least in half. And this cost can be pushed down.

Because Liaodong uses troops. There is a gap between the grain prices in Liaodong and the grain prices in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that if you just transport grain to Liaodong and return empty-shipped. Costs swallow up this profit margin. After all, whether it is Liaodong or Jiangnan, it is the world of the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible to make food prices too high.

Although there are still problems of one kind or another, because of the problems of ships, and other problems, in the future, large-scale transportation, will pull down the price. But in any case, the wood-for-rice trade model is valid.

"Of course." He Xi secretly said in his heart: "There are still many problems here. It's just that these problems are not something I can solve. You must go up to heaven and listen. Even if you don't summon me. I'm coming back too. ”

------

He Xi held his infinite thoughts. It's just that he didn't expect that he would return to Jingshi. First stopped at the city gate. asked him to go to the Cao Guogong Mansion first.

He Xi arrived at the Cao Guo Mansion, and it was Dai Yuanli who received him.

Dai Yuanli said: "Lord He, you can be regarded as coming, Cao Guogong's body and bones have become more and more dangerous in the past few days. After all, autumn and winter are coming, and the sun is full of yin. The human body corresponds to the four seasons. Naturally, it is not as good as one day at a time. Even if you can barely survive this year, you will never survive next year. ”

"To be honest, now Cao Guogong's body still has room to start. It's thrilling, but there's a hint of life. But with each passing day, there is less room for a single point. That's what I'm looking for to consult. ”

A lot of TCM theories sound superstitious. Just like Dai Yuanli said, the human body corresponds to the four seasons. If the year is represented by yin and yang gossip, the further the winter, the less yang and the more yin. When a patient is sick, it is natural that there is less yang energy and more yin energy, and as soon as the two are compared, there will be some patients who are having a hard time.

Especially for people who have been sick in bed for a long time, it is extremely dangerous near the end of the year.

But these theories, in the eyes of many people, are proper feudal superstitions.

Perhaps the conclusion is correct. But the derivation process is nonsense.

However, He Xi didn't care about this. He said, "Doctor Dai, what are you telling me about this?" I don't understand medicine? ”

Dai Yuanli snorted coldly and said, "Good, good, good." You don't understand, you can quickly give me a detailed reference, and I won't let His Majesty summon you to Beijing in general. Cao Guogong is extraordinary, and His Majesty is under great pressure. ”

He Xi could hear the meaning of Dai Yuanli's words.

He didn't believe what He Xi said at all, he didn't understand medicine.

Joke. In order to convince Dai Yuanli, He Xi told Dai Yuanli a lot of principles of medicine, and now let Dai Yuanli believe that He Xi does not understand medicine at all, Dai Yuanli only feels that He Xi is fooling the ghost.

He Xi only felt that he had 108,000 mouths on his body, and he couldn't say it at all at the moment.

He Xi said secretly in his heart; "Whatever the situation, today has come. Always have to take a look at Cao Guogong's. Even if it's a courtesy visit. ”

He Xi said: "Okay, I'll take a look." But what the hell is going on with him? You know that, too. You can't do anything, I have a way. ”

Dai Yuanli said: "I know it too. It's just that Cao Guogong I is heroic, and I really don't want him to ------"

There are some things that are always hard to say directly. But He Xi also understood what Dai Yuanli meant. sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world." ”

When He Xi saw Cao Guogong, he was slightly surprised, not that Cao Guogong was in a bad state, but that Cao Guogong was in a good state. Although his face was pale and he leaned on the quilt, on the whole, his spirit was still there, and he came over when he saw him.

Without waiting for He Xi to speak, he first asked about the situation in Liaodong. In particular, the grain reserves in eastern Liaodong.

He Xi was stunned for a moment, and could only follow Cao Guogong's thoughts and say, let go of his vision of letting private ships run the Jiangnan and Liaodong routes, which has been a cycle of trade between timber and rice.

Cao Guogong listened and pondered for a long time, and said; "I'm here for you. Also, I remember that there were a lot of prisoners in this year's crackdown. With Your Majesty's temperament, if you want to make an example of a hundred people, you can think of a way to let these people go to Liaodong, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian, there are about 10,000 or 20,000 people. ”

He Xi is far away from Jingshi, and the news is inevitably ill-informed. It seems that the war against bandits, which has been going on for a long time, is coming to an end. It cannot be said that there are no bandits in the territory of Daming. However, there are very few large-scale bandits that need to be encircled and suppressed by officials and soldiers.

This shows that the negative assets inherited by the Ming Dynasty from the Yuan Dynasty have been cleared again.

Actually, this also has something to do with He Xi.

Who are the generals sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to suppress bandits? said that they were all heroes and nobles, but they didn't adapt to the new environment, or in some places, Zhu Yuanzhang was uncomfortable and sent them to gnaw bones.

These generals, naturally, even if they succeed in suppressing the bandits immediately, they will not have any big rewards. Naturally, we do not seek merit, but we seek no fault.

But after He Xiyi's toss, it was different.

Maritime trade is a piece of money, maybe some don't know. But everyone in the circle knows what they should know. I don't know, it's those who know it's useless. In fact, there are two contradictions between these lords of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang.

The first is political contradictions. For example, Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang hates Zhu Yuanzhang the most, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang crossed the river and demolished the bridge at the beginning of the founding of the country. Let Li Shanchang become a rich idler.

The second is economic contradictions. Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of the heroes, the heroes felt that it was not enough, and it was far from enough.

Distribute the benefits of maritime trade to the nobles. I dare not say that all the grievances of these people have dissipated. At least a lot of generals have been brought over. After all, for most generals, they have seen Zhu Yuanzhang's wrists. What's wrong with that?

As a result, these lords who were suppressing bandits outside took out the strength of the year to fight the world one by one, and some even braved the risk of heavy rain and landslides to attack the bandit cottage. With this style of fighting, the bandits in the mountains could afford to eat and surrendered one after another.

The reason why they did so was because they found that the benefits of maritime trade were also first-come, first-served. Now there are more than a dozen companies involved. But the richest one is still Jinghai Firm. It is estimated that the later ones will not even get a piece of the pie.

That's why these people are in such a hurry.

He Xi said: "Thank you Cao Guogong for your advice. ”

Cao Guogong said: "It's all for the court, I can't talk about it." However, Goryeo should not be taken lightly. Goryeo has been a country for hundreds of years, and it has long had grammar. Self-contained, but now chaotic. But if you really want to destroy the country. I'm afraid the war will drag on for a long time. Such as the Sui and Tang dynasties, Goguryeo. It's not just natural hazards, but people and people. It can be broken, but if you want to destroy Goryeo, you need to be cautious. ”

He Xi listened. A little confused. He secretly said in his heart: "I didn't think about destroying Goryeo." ”

However, He Xi still understands Cao Guogong's words.

In today's terms, Goryeo already has a national consciousness, and a national consciousness, and such a country is not impossible to destroy. But when it comes to destruction, it is necessary to fully assess the difficulties. It's like in history, during the Wanli period, the daily invasion of Chao-Xian, it seems that the Chao-Xian army will collapse at the first touch. But what many people don't find is that the Chao-Xian righteous soldiers rose up and perished, and perished and resurged. Repeatedly. Although the Ming army was the main force, the strength of the Chao-Xian soldiers could not be ignored.

This is what Cao Guogong said, the country has been established for hundreds of years. There has long been grammar. The power of the heavenly danger man lies.

Cao Guogong seemed to be a little tired after saying these words. waved his hand and let He Xi go down. He Xi could only bow and retreat.

As soon as you go out. Dai Yuanli had been waiting outside for a long time. "How?" he asked. ”

He Xi shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything. ”

Dai Yuanli sighed and stopped talking.

Some people seem to be healthy, but they are actually dangerous inside. Some may seem dangerous, but it's not a big deal. He Xi didn't realize that Cao Guogong's condition had reached a critical moment. You don't have to ask for the rest.
