Chapter 331: Liu Che's Careful Thoughts......
The porcelain of Yang Chuan's family is not only sold in Chang'an City, but in less than half a month, the people of Chang'an City have used 'Yang's porcelain'.
After all, compared with the porcelain sold by the Gongsun Hong, Liu Ling and Chen families, not only is the price hundreds of times lower, but its quality is much higher.
As for how Yang Chuan, Gongsun Hong, Liu Ling, Chen Xu and Chen Xu's families fought to the death and broke their heads, that is your business, and it has a fart relationship with the people.
At the same time, Yang Chuan also launched a large number of iron pots, woks, pickle jars, etc., with sales, so that the people of Chang'an City could enjoy a 'Double Eleven Chop Hand Festival'.
In order to better eat leeks, Yang Chuan stipulated that each household could only buy a set of 'cheap and good' porcelain, pots and pans at a time, so as not to prevent people from hoarding goods.
Because, Yang Chuan wants to stock up on his own.
This also led to the fact that many women in the house mobilized the subordinates and servants in the house, dragged their children and daughters to rush to buy, and moved things to the house one by one.
Not only that, but he also sold his own porcelain, iron pots, woks, casseroles, etc. through some special channels to the land of Sanfu and the land of six counties; Even, even the Huainan Kingdom, where Liu An, the king of Huainan, is located, has poured into a lot of ......
……
In just one month, Yang Chuan made a net profit of more than three million yuan.
Although the coins of the Han Empire were not valuable, and they were not as effective as gold, grain, cattle and sheep and other 'hard currency', after all, the investment was not large, and only 3,000 Xiongnu young soldiers, under the leadership of Ah Shi, Ah Tu and others, worked overtime after training and earned a little pocket money.
Avoiding the leakage of the technology of firing porcelain is one aspect, and Yang Chuan's move is mainly to hide the 3,000 "Changning Army" under his command, which can be regarded as painstaking.
The embroidered messengers of the Han Empire were everywhere, but they mainly stared at those big dogs and their subordinates, and never paid attention to the miners, farmers, and craftsmen.
A great scholar once said that this was the fatal wound of the Han Empire, almost equivalent to its "inferior nature".
How many years have passed since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled? The big dogs of the Han Empire have long forgotten those terrible people, and they will ride on their heads to shit and pee, and they will treat them as fools, and they will be leeks again and again.
In the end, until the imperial court united with those big dogs, they began to chop off their heads, cut meat, bleed, knock bones and suck the marrow of the people, and the people couldn't bear it, so they could only mutter: "The day thief!" ”
Thus, that bullshit dynasty was overthrown.
And so on, over and over again.
This history book of the Han Empire is repeated like this.
Repeating ......
Is the cycle of a dynasty 300 years or 400 years?
Yang Chuan was too lazy to care.
He made a rough calculation, and the money and grain earned from porcelain could just be used to open a mine.
This time with Liu Ling and Gongsun Hong's 'fighting in the air', although Yang Chuan made a steady profit and did not lose money, he took the two families to lose a lot of coins, but the people have been working hard for decades, and the family has a big business, and it has not yet reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones.
So.
Yang Chuan must come a few more times, try to make his money more and more, his strength stronger and stronger, his connections more and more extensive, and let his opponent's money become less and less.
It won't take a year and a half to make a few ruthless hits.
To paraphrase a chef's term, this is 'pot under cold water, simmering soup'......
Unexpectedly, just when Yang Chuan was just about to mine a coal mine, two iron mines and a copper mine, Cao Xiang came.
"My uncle said, you killed Sang Hongyang, and if you abolish one of his arms," as soon as they met, Cao Xiang shouted with a bitter face, "He said, Sang Hongyang is a capable minister, and he does have a lot of problems, and his mental skills are not very right, but people are very good at making money." ”
"Yang Chuan, my uncle said that in March and April next year, his 150,000 troops will go deep into the Mobei grassland, but now that it is almost winter, there is still a big gap in weapons and grain, so he asked us to find a way to ......."
Yang Chuan listened, just smiled slightly, and did not answer.
Killing Sang Hongyang really made Yang Chuan feel refreshed, and he felt quite comfortable; At the same time, he also understands that Sang Hongyang is really a little expert in collecting money for Liu Che at the moment, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing can win a big victory in the second battle of Mobei, and the first battle will be decided, which really has a credit to Sang Hongyang.
After all, hundreds of thousands of troops fought deep into the hinterland of the Huns, and the logistical supply of hundreds or thousands of miles alone was an astronomical amount.
According to historical records, Sang Hongyang's 'salt and iron order', 'white deer coin', as well as the nationalization of mines and coinage, almost looted half of the wealth of the big dog families in the Han Empire.
This kind of offending thing, Yang Chuan will definitely not do it.
"Cao Xiang, it seems that the little life has been good recently, and your face is colored," Yang Chuan took Cao Xiang's shoulders and came to the dining room, "I heard that you are coming, I specially asked people to hunt a few deer, and you can eat roast deer legs today." ”
"By the way, and roast duck."
"Tut, Cao Xiang, you kid is so capable, needless to say about the scale of poultry breeding in Chang'an City, just selling eggs, duck eggs and poultry meat, you can earn thousands of acres of water in a year, right?"
"Also, here in Shuofang County, I asked people to build dozens of farms for you, and you can do a good job......"
Cao Xiang looked at Yang Chuan, who was talking about him left and right, with a helpless face, and said quietly: "Yang Chuan, what is my uncle doing over there?" You also know that if he doesn't achieve his goal, he won't give up at all, and it's very difficult. ”
Yang Chuan smiled and asked: "I have been free recently, and I have slightly adjusted the formula of Jiuliangye to brew a new wine called Shiliangye, which has an excellent taste, a long and mellow aftertaste, and the best thing is that it is not on the top, even if you are drunk as a dog, you will get up early tomorrow morning, and you will still be alive and vigorous, or do you want to open a jar to taste?" ”
Cao Xiang finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Yang Chuan, have you listened to me?" ”
Yang Chuan: "No. ”
Cao Xiang was speechless for a while, opened his mouth for several breaths, and sighed: "Actually, it was my uncle who asked the new farmer to make Zhu Maichen find a way to prepare for grain and weapons, but as a result, the dog was only seven or eight days in office, and he actually fell down and broke his leg while riding a horse......
Yang Chuan sat up straight, frowned and asked, "Zhu Maichen?" ”
Cao Xiang asked rhetorically: "What, do you know?" ”
Yang Chuan shook his head: "I've heard of it." ”
It is true that I have only heard of it, and I have heard of it from a storyteller in later generations, it is said that this Zhu Maichen was born in poverty, similar to Gongsun Hong, and was a poor scholar before he made a fortune.
Moreover, this Zhu Maichen was even more miserable than Gongsun Hong, when he was forty years old, his wife couldn't stand his idleness and only studying, so she took the initiative to file for divorce, and if Zhu Maichen was divorced.
In the following years, Zhu Maichen was still very poor, and his former wife and husband saw that he was really hungry, and they often received help, and successively sent some money and food, so that he could get through the most difficult years.
Later, with the help of a friend, Zhu Maichen entered Wu County as an errand boy, and finally got a full meal; At the end of the year, the planners of Huiji County wanted to report to Beijing and sent Zhu Maichen to escort the car.
Zhu Maichen accompanied the officials to escort the baggage cart to Chang'an.
He went to the palace gate to deliver the recital, but there was no reply for a long time, so he waited for the emperor's edict in the bus office, and the food and supplies were gone, and the soldiers of the upper officials took turns to give him something to eat; One day, Zhu Maichen happened to meet Yan Zhu, a man from the same county, on the street, and Yan Zhu was a doctor in the middle of the official, and was deeply appreciated by Liu Che, so Yan Zhu recommended Zhu Maichen to Liu Che.
Zhu Maichen's book is read well, his eloquence is excellent, after seeing Liu Che, his mouth is like a river, talking endlessly, talking about the Spring and Autumn Period, talking about the divorce, talking about the legal code, all the sons and hundreds of schools have been involved, so that Liu Che, who has always loved talents, was overjoyed, and immediately named him a doctor, and served in the palace with Yan Zhu and Han Yan.
Of course, there was also a rumor on the rivers and lakes, saying that the key to Zhu Maichen's ability to ascend to the sky in one step was his good looks-
It is said that the white skin, dignified appearance, and a mouthful of long hair, once made some old women in Chang'an City covet and favor.
The reason why Yang Chuan paid so much attention to Zhu Maichen was because of Zhang Tang.
According to historical records, this Zhu Maichen not only served as the Taishou of Huiji County and Shuofang County, but also used a basin of cold water to kill his original wife, and after returning to Chang'an, he married Qinghe Cui as his wife.
This is the story of 'covered with water and difficult to collect', Yang Chuan feels bored when he thinks about it, as the so-called husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, there is nothing to say.
What Yang Chuan cared about was that in the later witch Gu case, it was this Zhu Maichen who secretly stumbled Zhang Tang and made a lot of small moves in order to compete for the position of the speaker and imperial envoy of the Imperial Governor's Mansion, which eventually led to Zhang Tang committing suicide in shame after being humiliated and scolded by Liu Che......
……
"Did Zhu Maichen ever serve as a taishou in Huiji County?" Yang Chuan suddenly asked, "Since you have been a taishou, how did you become the commander of Chang'an County when you arrived in Chang'an City?" ”
Cao Xiang nodded: "Zhu Maichen did serve as a taishou in Huiji County for more than half a year, and later, my uncle felt that he was a talent and should stay in Chang'an City, so he passed him back."
As for how he became the magistrate of Chang'an County, I don't know very well. ”
Yang Chuan groaned a few times and no longer dwelled on this matter.
He instructed someone to bring a jar of newly brewed 'Yang's Ten Grains', poured a large bowl for Cao Xiang, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have recently opened an altar in the world of Tianfu...... Ahem, it is said that you opened an altar to give lectures in the world of Tianfu and deceived the daughters and daughters-in-law of many big dog families? ”
Cao Xiang suddenly came to his senses, and laughed very boldly: "What's the matter, you guy regretted selling those poems to Ben Hou in the first place?" Or, how about you write a few more poems and sell them to Huo Quai, so that he can also be beautiful? ”
Yang Chuan scolded with a smile: "People are the first-class champion Hou in the world, how many poems do you care?" ”
Cao Xiang smiled, rubbed his hands vigorously, and teased very narrowly: "Don't you know, that Tie Hanhan still doesn't know about men and women, thinking that touching the little woman's hands will get pregnant, and laughing to death."
The last time the second aunt presided over the poetry meeting, and summoned almost all the young talents, daughters of big families and little women in Chang'an City to be present, and several little women took the initiative to stick over to make Huo Qu sick, as a result, guess what? ”
Yang Chuan listened to Huo Quai's troubles, and was in a good mood, so he could only say casually: "What's wrong?" ”
Cao Xiang smiled before he said anything, and then said: "That Tie Hanhan was frightened, and punched out casually, beating Zhang Lian's cousin seven or eight steps away, and cried on the spot." ”
"Huo Qubing was frightened."
He blushed, and after a long time, he said in great frustration that he would bear all the consequences, and whether the woman was pregnant or not, he would marry her as a concubine.
"Then, I was really angry, so the fool pressed Zhang Lian to the ground and beat him up, almost causing a life lawsuit......"
Yang Chuan laughed when he heard it: "That Tie Hanhan! ”
"Who said it wasn't, but Ben Hou couldn't bear to tell him the truth, worried that he wouldn't have fun watching it in the future," Cao Xiang said proudly, picked up the bowl of Shiliangye, and took a sip directly: "Good wine!" ”
And then.
Then, there is no then.
Cao Xiang is not good at drinking, a few bowls of mash wine will be drunk, Yang Chuan's newly brewed grain wine is almost equal to about fifty-four degrees of liquor, so why not just put it over?
Seeing Cao Xiang laughing wildly three or five times, he softly drilled the table, Yang Chuan showed a strange smile on his face, and said softly: "Your uncle's vision is really good, but it's a pity that this time, he looked away." ”
"I'm Yang Chuan, it's okay to farm and cook, but I can't do big things."
After sending the drunken Cao Xiang into the bedroom, and after settling him to sleep, Yang Chuan returned to the dining room and gossiped with Liu Man, Zhang Tang, Dongfang Shuo, Sima Qian and others for a while, and then returned to the secret room in the back hall.
He soaked himself a bowl of three forts, lay down on the mazazi, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
In his heart, he had already scolded Liu Che several times.
The emperor is really a very special creature, it's simply, not human!
Just like this time, Liu Che acquiesced and secretly instigated and promoted, letting Chen Ajiao make trouble in Chang'an City, and concocted a group of old thieves in the court, but he only lightly killed Sang Hongyang, who had no background background, but ignored the culprits Liu Ling and Gongsun Hong.
Immediately afterwards, when his Yang's porcelain, iron pots, woks, etc. were sold, earning two or three million dollars, and easily pit Gongsun Hong's family and Liu Ling's family once, making the two big dog households lose tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and let Gongsun Hong, who was furious, show the fox's tail, Liu Che still ignored it.
As a result, when Yang Chuan was about to take action, he was ready to implement the next step while running Shuofang County, and then pit an old thief in the court......
Liu Che moved.
Let Cao Xiang preside over the preparation of the army's food and weapons, and if he wants him to take over the mess of Sang Hongyang, find a way to continue to collect money for him. ’
At the same time, he appointed Zhu Maichen as the big peasant order, and parachuted a huge ass on Cao Xiang's head, which was too embarrassing. ’
After calculating it, what Liu Che wants to calculate in the end should be him Yang Chuan, right?
No matter from which aspect, among the so-called young talents of the Han Empire, Yang Chuan, a Han cook, is comparable to Sang Hongyang in his ability and means to collect money.
It could even be more powerful......
Yang Chuan roughly guessed Liu Che's thoughts, substituted himself into the emperor's 'role', repeatedly deduced and calculated, and finally came to a general conclusion: Up to now, Liu Che is actually not ready to tear the skin with the wealthy family.
Naturally, there was no such determination.
In the final analysis, whether it is Emperor Gao Liu Bang, Emperor Wen, Emperor Jing or the current Liu Che, they are the largest wealthy family in the Han Empire.
Liu Che didn't want to shake his foundation, there was no doubt about that.
At the same time, he wanted to 'dominate the country and sweep the wasteland'......
After such an analysis and judgment, Yang Chuan consciously smoothed out his thoughts, and thought about some things that he had not thought about before.
The crux of the problem is threefold: money, balance and reputation.
