Chapter 546: Chaos Revealed
Wei Zheng said the reason for the incident, everyone in Chang'an City knows that the braised pork is cheap and full, and the taste is good.
But Sun Fujia went from Chang'an City to Luoyang, and the price was different. Zhang Yang sighed,
"It turns out that Sun Shaoqing also lives a frugal life." Wei Zheng said with a smile: "If it weren't for this matter, the old man wouldn't have known that Luoyang's braised pork was another price." ”
"This is all based on the local situation, and Zheng Gongyou doesn't know that the price of braised pork is related to the local price." Zhang Yang wanted to explain something more, but Zheng Gong had already left quickly.
There is one more impeachment in plain water, which makes people's hearts more and more unhappy. With an unhappy mood, Zhang Yang walked out of the Suzaku Gate quickly.
Li Zhi's recital was sent to Li Shimin, and after looking at his son, he sighed: "Yan Liben and others have to rebuild the river embankment, and it has not been repaired so quickly for a while, and his results can be seen in half a month at the earliest." ”
"Erchen understood." Li Shimin continued to look at the piece in his hand, pondering the word tariff, the goods outside the customs want to flow into the customs, and the total amount of goods carried will collect tariffs.
Heavy taxes were imposed on liquor and the like to prevent liquor sold outside the customs from flowing back into the customs gates. Li Shimin calculated the cost of winemaking, and the self-produced liquor in Guanzhong was sold outside the customs, and if the liquor outside the customs wanted to come in, it would be necessary to pay a huge amount of taxes.
In this way, it is equivalent to adding a lock to the transaction of goods. Guanzhong drinks can be sold to make a profit, and if the sold drinks come back, they will have to earn a second one.
It's a good deal. Li Shimin looked at the clothes he was wearing, wearing so many pieces, how many days had he not made new clothes as an emperor.
Who to say with the sorrow in my heart. He closed the piece again and said in a low voice, "Slave, send this piece to the people in the province to discuss giving me a result as soon as possible." ”
"Whoa!"
"Wait." Li Shimin shouted to stop the young slave who was about to leave,
"You follow Zhang Yang, you have some skills, you can learn more, you can learn more."
"Why did my father say this to his sons?" Li Zhi raised his head slightly and saw that his father's face was black again, and he hurriedly left without waiting for a reply.
After the rain, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky had sunlight falling through the windows of the Ganlu Temple, Li Shimin slowly walked up and looked up at the sky,
"Thief God, you're really blind." Why did such a skill fall on such a person?
As long as he can be respectful on weekdays, loyal to me, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, I will not embarrass him.
It rained yesterday, and this morning the puddles on the ground have condensed into ice. In the early morning, Chang'an City was still deserted, Zhang Yang came to the imperial city, and the imperial city was quiet at the moment, and some officials were busy here.
At this moment, the doors of the various residences are closed. Zhang Yang walked to Shangshu Province, took out the key to open the lock, pushed open the door and stepped into it.
The children cleaned up these very well, and today the court began to rest, and they did not come early in the morning.
It's always the kids who are busy these days, and they deserve a few days off. The pile of music on the table also tells of a lot of unfinished business.
Zhang Yang picked out the pieces and took out a few more important ones and put them in the package. I took a closer look at the main hall to see if there were any things left behind, and then looked at the model of the house on the sand table.
This is all the children's hard work these days, and the tower built by Li Zhi is a little crooked, which has a bit of the flavor of the leaning tower.
Zhang Yang looked at it for a while, carrying the burden on his shoulders, closed the door with a bunch of concerts, and turned around and walked out of Shangshu Province.
Everyone has gone to rest, but at the moment they still have a lot of things to do. Take all these pieces home and continue to work overtime.
Walking out of the Suzaku Gate, I saw that Li Daoyan was still guarding the door, and when I looked closely, there were fewer guards on the imperial city than before.
The imperial city, which used to be lively and busy, seems quiet at the moment. Zhang Yang stepped forward and beckoned: "Brother Daoyan, this is all closed, are you still here to guard?" Li Daoyan held the horizontal knife on his waist,
"Faithful."
"I really admire you."
"The last general is nothing, Su Dingfang is still busy with Zuo Wuwei, saying that he led the army to start governing the army, and General Wei Chigong asked him to also formulate a strategy for governing the army." Zhang Yang smiled: "Ask for money again...... Shangshu Province is not far from going out of business. "By the time we arrived, there were pedestrians on Suzaku Street, and the originally empty streets began to come to life.
Li Daoyan yawned against the walls of the imperial city, lazily relaxing his limbs,
"Like before, I followed my father at home to run thirty miles overnight, and when I calmed down the world, I felt invincible in the world." Li Daoyan's father is Li Shentong, and he was also the same name as Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong among the four generals of the clan.
Time has passed, and Li Shentong passed away early. Leaving such a large family, Li Daoyan, as the eldest brother, has a heavy burden on his shoulders, Zhang Yang smiled: "Then now Brother Daoyan thinks that he is still invincible in the world?" ”
"What's the use of being invincible in the world, it's not a mess at home." There was a hint of helplessness in his words, and it was also ...... Heroes and heroes will worry about things at home, life is inseparable from firewood, rice, oil and salt, how can they say it lightly and leave.
Those who can be free and easy are in the minority. Li Daoyan still has such a big family to take care of, he is one of the few in the clan, and he has to bear the prestige of the entire family at such a young age.
He Li Shentong had nine sons, and he left, leaving behind so many brothers. Li Daoyan also has to be busy taking care of him.
This is what he, as a big brother, should bear. Inexplicably, there is a feeling of heroic loneliness. Li Daoyan said in a low voice: "If you say that you are invincible in the world, if you want to say that you are brave, I am not as good as Su Dingfang, if you want to say that the military strategy is not as good as General Chi, let alone General Qin Qiong, who is famous in the Central Plains among the heroes of the world, and General Li Jing, who is feared by Siyi and famous in the Central Plains." ”
"I'm nothing compared to them." Li Daoyan smiled: "They are the pillars of my Tang Dynasty." Li Jing helped Li Tang lay down half of the country, and his prestige not only spread throughout the Central Plains, but also made Siyi dare not offend.
Moreover, now Li Jing lives in a simple house and rarely walks around in front of people. It's just that I heard that His Majesty often visits.
In the battle of Yinshan, Li Jing swept away the northern border troubles of the Tang Dynasty, and after he came back, he put down his military power, and also said that he had a leg disease, so he closed the door to thank the guests.
How can such a high-ranking general not be low-key. If he doesn't keep a low profile, Li Shimin will be anxious.
After the First War to pacify the Turks, Li Jing's dissatisfaction also appeared in the government and the opposition, because Li Jing killed the Turkic troops.
In the treacherous war in the Central Plains for many years, everyone understands the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit. And the theory in the army is that Li Jing is worried that the Turks will surrender by fraud.
As for whether it was a fraudulent surrender, Li Jing's merits and demerits are not clear for the time being, but this battle not only shocked the border, but also gave Li Shimin a great boost in winning over the people's hearts.
Li Shimin did not explicitly give Li Jing a crime, and since then, General Li Jing has been hidden by His Majesty, and has been hidden until now.
"How's your brother?"
"It's not bad, three of them have already got married, and the rest are a little stubborn, and I will teach them slowly." Zhang Yang wanted to say that Li Xiaoyi was now busy with the gang's affairs with Cheng Chumo.
Seeing that Li Daoyan didn't ask, Zhang Yang didn't mention it anymore, and patted him on the shoulder,
"If they can't take care of it, our Foreign Affairs Yuan will also be short of people, so I can let them go to the customs for a few years." It is said that the Foreign Affairs Yuan often sends people to Guanwai, Li Daoyan nodded heavily,
"That's all right, that's what I mean." Zhang Yang said again: "If you are already married, you don't want it, I want to send someone to the Uighurs in the north, and I also want to send someone to the Western Turks, I am still arranging the manpower, if Brother Daoyan has a suitable one, take it directly to the Foreign Affairs Yuan, and I will arrange it." ”
"Zhang Yang, I still want to thank you for the opportunity in the first battle of Tubo, I don't want to owe you any more favors."
"Brother Daoyan has said this, you have helped us do such a big thing, I should thank you." Most of the Li Tang clans are generals, and the four generals of the clan are famous, and everyone has glory.
Li Daoyan is bent on recovering the lintel so that they can gain a firm foothold in the clan. Seeing that the person who changed the guard was coming, Zhang Yang said again: "Then I'll go back first." Li Daoyan nodded and saluted again, and then exchanged guards with the generals who came.
In the past, Chang'an City began to be lively when it arrived, such as today's cold and freezing, and when it came to Chen, each family opened their doors to be busy for a day's livelihood, Zhang Yang bought some meat and rice noodles in Dongshi, and went home to make dumplings to eat.
When I returned home early, my daughter-in-law and two girls were practicing swords. Zhang Yang first put a bag of music into the house, and then took out the pork to clean, and there were green onions and garlic in his own house, but in the winter, in order to keep warm, these potted plants were taken out during the day.
Zhang Yang picked up his small kitchen knife and prepared to chop meat, and thought of the braised pork for a while. Now for the sale of braised pork, Lishan only provides soy sauce, and with the braised pork vendors outside the soy sauce, it can be opened.
And the profits of braised pork are thin, and most of them are in the hands of Chu Mo. It has been a long time since there has been a dividend with him.
To be in charge of the business is tantamount to giving money, so that this business finally fell into the hands of the Cheng family, and at most Chu Mo only arranged people.
Zhang Yang turned the meat over and continued to chop, remembering what happened to Sun Fujia in Luoyang, if you want a good brand, you need to have a stable price.
However, at a time when productivity is lagging behind, meat prices cannot remain stable all the time, and costs will be high.
Even such a thing was impeached. The more Zhang Yang thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and the force of chopping meat was a little greater. Seeing that the master was chopping meat and picking some green onions and garlic, Xiao Wu was curious: "Does Master want to make steamed buns?" Zhang Yang turned the meat over again and continued to chop,
"Make dumplings and eat them."
"Okay, junior sister likes to eat dumplings the most." glanced at the look of this little girl, obviously she likes to eat dumplings, and said that Xiaohui ...... Xiao Wu ran away quickly.
Xiao Qingqing was still a little staggering, she would fall to the ground if she couldn't walk a few steps, and Li Yue didn't help her and let her get up by herself.
But Xiao Xiong lowered his head every time and let Xiao Qingqing stand up. This bear is very spoiled by children.
"Yiya, Yiya......" Xiao Qingqing said, she can only speak like this now.
Seeing that she was about to walk to the kitchen stove, Little Bear stepped forward and grabbed her back collar and walked away from the kitchen. So that the aunt doesn't have to take too much care of it, and this bear can take the child well.
Sometimes big things don't get tangled, and a small thing is easy to make people tangled for a long time. couldn't bear it, Zhang Yang thought about it and wrote a letter,
"Trouble your aunt to give this letter to Chu Mo and ask him to send it to the braised pork branch in Luoyang."
"Whoa." It is not easy for everyone to save a little, Sun Shaoqing also went to Luoyang for state affairs, and in the future, he will not be charged for braised pork buns.
Usually impeaching himself is said to have accumulated too much money, acted rudely, and fanned the scholars. Forget about these, your Sun Fujia still thinks braised pork is expensive, so he will come to impeach.
It's too much of a deception! The sugar business in Luoyang has become bigger and bigger, and there are more and more children of the family involved, and they are bound to eat more sugar in order to stabilize their income.
In this way, the money will not be lost in vain. Originally, white sugar was just a kind of sugar, and the play of futures began to become popular among the children of the family, and for a time everyone began to study the price of white sugar and the profits that could be obtained from this business.
Some children of the family have begun to find that the money in their hands is not enough, and in order to buy more sugar, they use the money in the clan.
When the production is high, the price is low, and when the production is low, the price is high. The game of buying low and selling high is not uncommon, especially for grain merchants, who have long been tired of playing this way.
Some people have already begun to throw out the purchased sugar, and Li Wei knows that the time has come to close the net, and if he doesn't close the net, it will really be difficult to collect it.
He immediately wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Chang'an City quickly. After moving the money in the clan, they couldn't exchange sugar for a suitable profit for a while, and they even began to change their ways to make up for the shortfall, and the friendship between the children of the original family began to have estrangement and opposition because of the money.
And those who are deeply trapped in it have long been trapped, and it is difficult to get out. The previous madness finally reaped its own consequences, and they began to do nothing every day, began to sleep and eat restlessly, and even asked Taoist priests to do it, and even intensified their efforts to collect money.
A sugar business can easily leverage millions of benefits, and Sun Fujia originally investigated only the fact that Liu and Zhou were killed.
The matter involves the children of the family, so naturally they found out about the sugar. Seeing the price of sugar and the huge flow of money behind it, Sun Fujia was also shocked into a cold sweat.
He had never seen such a crazy way of buying and selling. Spreading out a piece of paper, Sun Fujia wrote down the things he saw during his inspection of Luoyang, and the chaos in Luoyang had begun to appear, hoping that the DPRK and China could send people to deal with the contingency as soon as possible.
It involves many children of the family, and this Luoyang City will be in chaos sooner or later. Zhangzhang was sent out of Chang'an City by a fast horse, and three or two strong men selling braised pork also saw this scene.
When Sun Fujia stepped forward to sell braised pork, he asked: "It's almost the end of the year, won't the official go home to visit his relatives?" He took a bowl of millet rice from the other party, and the braised pork was placed on top of the rice, and the sauce was very delicious with the millet rice.
And he was very full, which made him unhappy and turned out to be five yuan more expensive than that in Chang'an City. After eating, he took out the copper money to pay, but the other party waved his hand and refused: "Don't pay the silver money when you come to my side to eat in the future." ”
"Why?" He was surprised.
