I don't know if it's because of this day, I went out of the city with Liu Sheng;

In the next few days, Tianziqi's mental state was much better than before.

The next day, the court meeting, that is, the third year of the Son of Heaven's new yuan, on the 20th day of the autumn and eighth month, the Chang'an court passed the resolution of 'comprehensively exempting Guanzhong from agricultural tax and grass tax this year'.

After the conclusion of the court meeting, the news that the court had completely exempted this year's agricultural tax and the tax on the grass was also centered in Chang'an and quickly spread to the entire Guanzhong.

However, the court's exemption from agricultural taxes and levy taxes did not make the people happy, but made the entire Guanzhong gradually fall into an inexplicable sad atmosphere.

The reason is very simple: the court's exemption from agricultural taxes means that this year's harvest in Guanzhong has been so bad that 'if the agricultural tax is collected again, the people will not be able to live';

The exemption from the tax means that the situation has deteriorated to the extent that paying three stones per 100 mu of land and the total value of only 60 yuan will cause a burden to the people······

As the saying goes: some people are happy and some people are sad, and if some people are sad, some people must be happy.

For the court to exempt the agricultural tax and the weeding tax, the people are naturally worried;

And the merchants, like wolves smelling blood, quickly focused their attention on this matter!

The news channels of these tycoons are obviously not comparable to ordinary farmers - soon, the businessmen got the news: the average yield per mu in Guanzhong this year will most likely not exceed two stones and one bucket······

Hearing this news, I repeatedly confirmed whether the source was reliable, and then, the merchant group in Guanzhong fell into a carnival!

Because through simple calculations, these merchants in Guanzhong quickly discovered that this year's harvest in Guanzhong is simply not enough to support the daily needs of the people in Guanzhong!

The supply is less than the demand, which means that this commodity theoretically has a special sales method of 'rare is expensive, and the highest price is obtained';

For such a business method, the merchants in Guanzhong are obviously very familiar with it······

"We should get together and discuss a concrete plan!"

"-Let's go find the Nagaling Tian clan!"

"-Changling Tian clan, there is a way in the palace!"

After a simple exchange, more than a dozen big businessmen with a fortune of more than 10 million yuan in Guanzhong got into the carriage and appeared outside the Tianfu in Changlingyi.

And the person they are looking for is the newly emerging business legend in Guanzhong and the 'leader' among the contemporary sons and nephews of the Changling Tian family: Tian Wei······

·

In the guest hall, the pot-bellied merchants sat on both sides, and the noisy conversations and laughter that rang out from time to time resounded throughout the Tianfu.

Soon, the sound of a businessman fiddling with the remuneration made the others subconsciously quiet.

A moment later, when the merchant whispered the results of the calculations, there was another burst of laughter throughout the class.

"I've probably done the math;"

"——In the past, the yield per mu in Guanzhong was about three stones and three buckets."

"One acre, three stones, and three buckets, and one hundred acres, that is, three hundred and thirty stones."

"After removing the 11 stone agricultural tax, each peasant household can get about 320 stone of grain and rice."

"One household is three hundred and twenty stones, and more than one million households in Guanzhong are 32,000 stones."

"And among them, there are usually 70 million stone of grain, which will be sold to Kanto."

In other words: every year in Guanzhong, 250,000,000 stone of grain is needed to be enough for the people of Guanzhong."

As he said this, the merchant smiled even more, and when he looked at the other merchants, he had a look of joy on his face.

"But this year, the yield per mu in Guanzhong is only two stones and one bucket, even if it is exempt from taxes, the output of one household is only two hundred and ten stones."

"One million households is twenty-one thousand stones."

"There are 250 million stones, and there are still 40 million stones left······"

"-Cai!"

As soon as the businessman's voice fell, the wealthy businessmen and giants in the guest hall cheered one after another!

With a smile full of excitement and longing, it also climbed on everyone's face.

"Everyone!"

"There's a lot to do, there's a lot to do?!"

"——The gap of 40 million stones in Guanzhong, no matter how good the court is, it is impossible to fill it!"

"And Kanto has no grain shipped out of Guanzhong, there will also be a shortage!"

"No matter inside or outside the customs, let us show our strength and make a difference!!"

···

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Earn hundreds of dollars per stone of grain, and resell tens of thousands of stones of grain at will, this is the profit of millions of dollars!"

"If we work together to raise the price of food by more than 500 yuan······

In the midst of laughter, a young businessman spoke excitedly, but the rest of the people were stunned, and they turned their disdainful gazes to the young businessman who spoke.

- Five hundred dollars?

Hey!

Look at what you haven't seen before!

During the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao, the price of grain in Guanzhong was as high as 8,000 yuan per stone!!

Isn't there anyone who buys 8,000 yuan of grain for a stone?

"Du Shaojun, I'm still a little young~"

After a long period of silence, a middle-aged merchant finally said a word, which restored the guest hall to the previous relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The young man surnamed Du, who had spoken earlier, lowered his head with a stiff face, and after a while, he also joined in the cheerful conversation.

Today, the merchants who come to Tianfu are all very big.

There are at least six families with more than 10,000 yuan alone!

As for those with a family property of more than 10 million, or tens of millions, they can't be counted on two hands.

Among them, in addition to Hetian Wei, that is, the 'Zhutian' of the same clan as the Changling Tian clan, the first to count the Chang'an Wuyan clan, the Wei Jiasu clan, and the Anling Du clan who was born as a young man.

These people are all because of the unique 'Lingyi system' of the Han family, and they were forcibly moved from Kanto to Guanzhong.

For example, the Tian family, originally the Tianqi royal family, after the Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang was the emperor and established the Liu Han Guozuo, the Tianqi royal family was moved into Guanzhong by the Ju family, and lived in Changlingyi, the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao;

After that, the Tian clan was divided into eight branches according to the bloodline.

Among them, the Changling Tian clan is the lineage, and the other seven branches are also based on merchants, and today, they also came to the Tian Mansion located in Changlingyi.

And these concubines and 'Hatta', without exception, rely on the grain business as their main livelihood.

The Chang'an Wuyan clan is also a strong place that moved from Kanto to Guanzhong;

It's just that when the Wuyan clan moved into Guanzhong, it was still the period of 'Chu and Han hegemony', and the Changling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang had not yet started, and after the Wuyan clan moved into Guanzhong, they took root in Chang'an.

Unlike 'Hatta', which is mainly engaged in the grain business, Chang'an Wuyan has always only been engaged in the sub-money business.

Ziqian, as the name suggests, is the money that 'can give birth to cubs'.

In the words of later generations, it is actually usury.

It's just that today, the Ziqian merchant Wuyan clan also appeared in Tianfu in Changlingyi, and it seems that he also wants to get a piece of the pie in this feast······

The rest of the companies are also in a very different situation.

- Wei Jiasu's family, in the past, mainly in the willow weaving industry, rarely involved in other trades;

Anling Du, as the 'rising star' who was forcibly moved into Guanzhong during the reign of Emperor Liu Ying, was forced to move in, and its business scope is relatively extensive.

After all, when the Anling Du clan moved into Guanzhong, the business community in Guanzhong had basically divided the cake, and all walks of life were divided by the local heroes who moved into Guanzhong one step earlier, such as 'Hatta', Chang'an Wuyan Clan, Wei Jiasu Clan, etc.;

If Anling Du wants to be among them, he can only cast a wide net, catch more fish, do everything, and make none of them bigger.

However, in the past few years, the focus of Anling Du has become more and more biased towards the grain business······

"It's all here······"

"Hey ······"

Outside the guest hall, Tian Wei glanced at the inside of the room, and he already knew it in his heart.

With a light cough, interrupting the conversation of everyone in the house, Tian Wei straightened up his waist and walked into his own living room with a false smirk.

"You all came to the door together, it really made the humble house shine~"

With a smile and a bow to everyone in the room, and then sat down on the main seat of the head of the house, Tian Wei picked up the tea bowl and took a sip gently.

Then, he looked at the people in the room with a pretense of doubt, as if asking: What are you doing here?

Seeing Tian Wei pretending to be stupid, everyone only snorted coldly in their hearts, but their faces were hurriedly piled up with hypocrisy, and even some flattering smiles.

In the end, there was still a middle-aged man who accused the young man of the Anling Du clan of being 'too young', that is, the contemporary head of the Wei family's Su clan, who smiled and bowed his hand to Tian Wei.

"Tian Shaojun is a young hero, through a Wu Chu rebellion, together with the Wuyan clan, he earned ten times the profit with a principal of 1,000 gold, which really makes us admire it to the extreme."

"I have long wanted to visit, but Tian Shaojun is very busy, and I didn't have the honor to meet until today······"

The dripping scene only provoked Tian Wei to shake his head with a smile, and then gave up his hand to the middle-aged man of the Su clan.

"Su Gong, it's so polite······"

With a polite sound, I saw Tian Wei turn his head slightly to the side and look around at everyone in the room.

He looked at and smiled at the Wuyan clan beside him, and then lowered his head again, carefully blowing the tea leaves floating on the tea surface, while not forgetting to pretend to be casual and said: "As for the matter of the loan to the nobles who gave the levy before······"

"I remember that at that time, I once suggested that all of you, like my Changling Tian clan and Chang'an Wuyan clan, give the noble money to the levy, right?"

"-If you had listened to my advice at that time, you would have all made ten times the profit with me now?"

As he spoke, he took another sip of tea, and then Tian Wei cast a meaningful gaze on everyone in the room.

Hearing Tian Wei's words, everyone's faces froze, and there was a faint jealousy in the eyes of Tian Wei and Wuyan.

After a short period of silence, it was the middle-aged man of the Wei family Su clan who raised his head with a smile and explained to Tian Wei: "At that time, the rebels of Liu Bi and Liu Wu were huge, and it was still uncertain whether the rebellion could be quelled. ”

"We are worried that if we give the meritorious and noble money to the expedition, if the rebellion is not quelled, then the money we lend will probably be ······."

"Huh;"

"-That's why I said, Tian Shaojun, is a bold young hero!"

"It's not like us people, when we get older, we have little courage, and we don't dare to take such a big risk······"

Su Shi's words provoked everyone to nod their heads, and each echoed two sentences.

But in the upper position, Tian Wei shook his head with a strange smile, and immediately raised the corners of his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man of the Su clan.

"Su Gong, how can you have such an idea?"

"Guys, how can you not see through the benefits and harms of this?"

He asked two questions in surprise, and then saw Tian Wei turn his head sideways with a strange face, and looked at the people in the room in order—the most outstanding and wealthy merchants in the Guan.

"You are worried that if the rebellion cannot be quelled, the money you have lent will be lost."

"Then why don't you think about it: if the rebellion really failed to be quelled, let Liu Bi and Liu Wu enter the Guanzhong ······"

"——You are hiding at home, and you are reluctant to lend the soldiers as money for counterinsurgency, won't you be looted by the rebels under Liu Bi and Liu Wu?"

"If the skin doesn't exist, don't you understand the truth that Mao will be attached?"

seemed to be puzzled, but in fact there was a faint sarcastic inquiry, which only made the faces of everyone in the room stiffen together;

Especially the middle-aged man of the Wei Jiasu family, who was taught such a lesson by a junior like Tian Wei, was obviously a little embarrassed.

But no matter how you say it, after all, they are all going from south to north, walking the world, accustomed to seeing big scenes, and seeing elites who are warm and cold;

After only a brief loss of consciousness, Su quickly adjusted his face, and slowly nodded to Tian Wei with a humble smile again.

"That's what Tian Shaojun said."

"We're just too narrow-minded and somewhat, too cautious in this matter."

"So much so that I didn't even notice such a simple truth······"

Without changing his face, he held Tian Wei's hand again, and saw that Su quietly changed his words, and finally explained his intention on behalf of everyone in the room.

"We old guys are already half of our necks buried in the earth."

"In the future, Guanzhong will be a young hero like Tian Shaojun, a vast world of galloping wantonly······"

"It's just that right now, there's another good opportunity to make a fortune;"

"-With the lesson of the last time, we old fellows don't dare to assert any more."

"I came to the door on purpose, and I wanted to invite Tian Shaojun to give me some guidance······"

Su's words only provoked everyone to turn their heads sideways, and cast their scrutiny, temptation, and a little expectant gaze on Tian Wei's ugly and somewhat bizarre, but shrewd face at all times.

For Tian Wei, a 'new star', the business community in Guanzhong actually doesn't know much about it.

At the beginning of this year, when the Wu Chu Rebellion broke out, he teamed up with the Chang'an Wuyan clan to give Zhou Yafu, the captain of the expedition to quell the rebellion, to borrow 1,000 gold as the military expenses of his private soldiers.

In addition, Tian Wei is also close to her half-sister in the palace, Wang Meiren, who gave birth to the emperor's tenth son, Liu Yu.

So much for.

As for today, why did everyone have to go to Tianfu and find Tian Wei by name to discuss this matter, it was naturally not the reason mentioned by Su.

- Teenage heroes?

Hey!

Eight hundred miles of light and heavy people are outstanding, like Tian Wei's 'young heroes', I don't know how many have been produced!

If you really have to put your fingers on your fingers, like Tian Wei, a rising star who earns ten times the profit in the first business, not to mention every year, at least every three or five years, you can produce one or two.

In the eyes of these people who are deeply afraid of the way of doing business, Tian Wei is just a lucky person who is lucky enough to earn the profit of 10,000 gold, and thus suddenly becomes famous.

For these people, Tian Wei's real value is the huge network and news channels that Tian Wei's sister Wang Meiren who is in the palace, and the four-year-old Gongzi Yu, who brought Tian Wei ······

"Guys, do you mean the food?"

"Is it because of today's court, Your Majesty has exempted the agricultural tax and the levy tax, so that you can smell the smell of making a fortune?"

Tian Wei joked, only to provoke everyone to laugh and bow their heads, naturally acquiescing to Tian Wei's guess.

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, Tian Wei turned sideways as if he was smiling and looked at Wuyan beside him.

"Saltless Gong, also eyeing this deal?"

"—I listen to Tian Gong's orders."

Swish!

Wuyan said indifferently, only letting everyone brush one side of their eyes, and locked their surprised gaze on Wuyan's face that still had a humble smile.

Tian Gong?

Enjoin???

This ······

"Wuyan Clan, have you actually joined the Changling Tian Clan?!"

"Or, just to serve the ······"

While everyone was thinking, Tian Wei smiled, raised his head again, and looked at the distant relatives of the side branches.

"Everyone, you are all a side branch of my Tian clan."

"In the past few years, although I have had few contacts with my Changlingtian clan, after all, blood is thicker than water······

"-I have only one piece of advice for you this time;"

"- Even if the poor can't open the pot and can't eat, and even to the point where if they don't do this, they will go bankrupt, don't fight the idea of food······

···

"This year, Guanzhong has indeed failed to harvest more than 30%;"

"But something like this hasn't happened in the past few years."

"You can think for yourself: during the reign of Emperor Fan, no matter how bad the grain harvest was, how could the price of grain in Guanzhong exceed 100 yuan per stone?"

"When did the harvest fail, didn't the first emperor make a big move, do everything he could, and keep the price of grain in Guanzhong below seventy yuan per stone?"

···

"I'm from the Lingtian clan, and I've been in the grain business in Guanzhong for almost fifty years."

"In the food industry, what money can be earned and what money cannot be earned, I Changlingtian clan can always distinguish it."

Saying this, Tian Wei turned his head sideways again and looked at several 'outsiders' such as the Wei family's Su clan and the Anling Du clan.

"That's all I have to say this time."

"If you can trust me, then do as I say: stop early, earn what you should earn, don't earn more than you deserve."

"Otherwise, when Your Majesty is furious and wants to slaughter all the people who are registered in the Guanzhong, my Changling Tian clan will only protect my life, and I will definitely not help you and plead in front of Your Majesty······"
