In later generations, the so-called Beijing roast duck was very famous, but Yang Chuan didn't like it very much.

The kind of food that has been touted by wild boar skins is not a problem in itself, and the taste is quite improvised, if you use spring cakes with small sweet onion shreds, sweet noodle sauce and other accessories, you can eat it with just a light roll.

But.

He just didn't like it, especially when he thought that thing had been touted by a certain queen mother, so he always felt that there were a few drops of the old woman's saliva on it, and he was embarrassed to think about it.

But the problem is that the scale of Cao Xiang's chicken, duck, goose and poultry breeding is too large, and there are more than 300 farms in Guanzhong alone, and each of them has to swallow countless grains, bone meal and forage every day, which is simply a group of gold-swallowing beasts.

At the beginning, Cao Xiang was very proud, and he bragged about it when he met people.

But gradually, the goods were about to die.

It's so edible.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that there are a lot of big dogs in Chang'an City, in fact, there are only two or three hundred in total, and they eat roast duck every day and drink chicken soup every day, and they can't eat Cao Xiang's chickens, ducks and geese at all.

By the way, there are also eggs, which are also unsalable.

"Why, the people of Chang'an City are too poor to even afford a roast duck or roast chicken," On this day, Yang Chuan was busy in the Yamen of the Great Agricultural Order, and Cao Xiang came to the door, and complained as soon as he opened his mouth: "Tell me, are those guys stupid, an old hen weighing five catties, and some people also asked if they could cut three taels for him, so that he could take it home and boil a pot of soup for his wife and children to satisfy their hunger......"

Yang Chuan didn't bother to raise his head, and said casually: "Then chop and sell." ”

Cao Xiang said depressedly: "Can the old hen survive after chopping off three taels of meat?" Yang Chuan, hurry up and find a way for my brother, those chickens, ducks and geese are about to kill people. ”

Yang Chuan finished the work at hand, instructed several big farmers to order their subordinates to go down on errands, and made a pot of tea, poured it for himself and Cao Xiang, and then said in a good time: "I told you a long time ago, no matter what business you do, you have to calculate the accounts in advance, how many people there are, how much money people have in their hands, how much money they can take out to sell meat and eat, you have calculated these details clearly, and you can decide how many chickens and ducklings to hatch each year......

Yang Chuan's words were very verbose, and his speech was extremely detailed, and he taught him the experience of opening a restaurant in his later life, and Cao Xiang was directly stunned.

He looked at Yang Chuan in a daze, and his mouth was stunned: "Yang Chuan, why do you know a little bit about everything?" Although you are somewhat below the meaning of Ben Hou, you are already the second in the Han. ”

Yang Chuan ignored the boasting of this goods, and continued: "I have three strategies here, you choose one." ”

Cao Xiang said without hesitation: "Only a stupid child like Huo Quzhi can do multiple-choice questions, right?" Ben Hou naturally chose the easiest, most profitable, and safest method. ”

Yang Chuan was laughed: "Okay, then go and give away all the extra chickens, ducks and geese." ”

"Giving it away?"

Cao Xiang scratched the back of his head a few times, and his huge head was full of question marks: "You make it clear, why do you want to give it away?" To whom? Is this a loss of money or a profit? ”

Yang Chuan groaned a few times and said gently: "You follow my example." ”

Cao Xiang somewhat understood.

On Yang Chuan's Zhuangzi, on the bright side, under his Marquis of Changning, there are more than 20,000 households, all of which can be regarded as Yang's industry; But in fact, the land under Yang Chuan's name does not exceed 5,000 mu at most, of which nearly half is in Zhuyuantou Village.

Yang's approach is very simple, that is, to give it away.

It can't be regarded as giving away, but 'contracting', that is, selling or giving away or recontracting their own fields through various methods, and giving them to those military households, servants, little cooks and orphans in Changning very obscurely.

Of course, Cao Xiang didn't know about the existence of the 'Changning Orphan'.

He only knew that Yang Chuan had earned countless amounts of money and food in the past few years, and even he, an old dog family, was enthusiastic and heartbeat.

But at the same time, Yang Chuan basically doesn't save much money, which Cao Xiang, Huo Quzhi, Princess Pingyang, Wei Qing and others all know, and no one can guess what this guy thinks, but it's inconvenient to ask.

"Yang Chuan, do you mean to give those chickens, ducks and geese to the servants? Or the common people? ”

Cao Xiang asked again.

Yang Chuan nodded: "Naturally, you can't just give it away, but first think about how to make more money in the future, and then, which people to give it to will almost understand." ”

"For example, if you give it to those people under the Cao family, it is estimated that not only will you not get benefits, but you may also lose all your money, and you will even be gossiped behind your back, saying that you Cao Xiang is a big wrongdoer."

"For example, if you give it to some people, they will slaughter it for you and eat it, what will you do?"

Cao Xiang fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he suddenly patted his head: "Yang Chuan, I know what you mean." ”

Yang Chuan took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "What do I mean?" ”

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "Didn't you just use the chicken, duck and goose matter to persuade me to divide some of the fields and products under my name, don't worry, I know how to do this." ”

"In addition, I will learn from your method some of the fields under my name, and quietly give them to others to cultivate for me, and we will sit back and enjoy their achievements."

"Yang Chuan, you're right, you can still make a lot of money if you lie flat, and you can really make money."

See, that's the benefit of dealing with smart people.

Cao Xiang, as the largest salt dealer in the Han Empire, is now the behind-the-scenes boss of the whole world's aquatic products, seafood and sea salt business, and his attainments in the way of merchants are absolutely first-class.

He picked up the bowl of tea that Yang Chuan gave him, drank it all, and even the tea leaves in it were pinched out with his fingers, stuffed into his mouth, chewed and swallowed into his stomach, and grinned: "Ben Hou has a big event today, so I won't eat at your house, hahaha......"

……

After sending Cao Xiang away, Yang Chuan continued to be busy, because the plan for the second set of Kar leeks was too vague, and even Yang Chuan himself was a little suspicious; In this way, it was not until another guest came to the Great Agricultural Order that he had to stop and take a breath.

The person who came was Prime Minister Sun Hong.

As soon as this old thief stepped into the door of the Great Agricultural Order, he was like an idle old peasant, walking, looking, turning around, along the way, no one dared to speak out at all, so it was not until he stepped into Yang Chuan's study that a subordinate official hurriedly ran in to pray.

The Great Agricultural Order, no matter how it is, was also one of the most important departments of the Han Empire.

He, the big peasant order, even if he is young and has little qualifications, he does not have many henchmen in the court, but after all, he is the title of the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and he does not have Gongsun Hongda in his official position, and in terms of noble status alone, seven or eight Gongsun Hong are not worthy of Yang Chuan.

You must know that Gongsun Hongcai is a Guan Nei Hou.

Moreover, it was because Liu Che wanted to promote him to be the prime minister that he had to be named Hou casually, which could not be compared with Yang Chuan's military exploits and agricultural merits.

Also, the current boss of this big farmer order is him Yang Chuan, even if your prime minister comes, how can you have the number of courtesies?

Yang Chuan was annoyed in his heart, but his face was full of spring breeze, and he said with a smile: "Ben Hou also said that when I got up early today, there were a few magpies chirping endlessly, but there was a noble person coming to the door." ”

Gongsun Hong arched his hand casually, and said hello: "There is no need to be polite to the big farmer's order." ”

Yang Chuan smiled and said, "It's not strange to have many people." ”

"Prime Minister Gongsun is looking for Benhou, what's the matter?"

Gongsun Hong looked at Yang Chuan with a smile: "The old man just came out of the Yang Palace, and I heard the emperor say that the Great Agricultural Order has to do a few major things recently, but the old man is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty but knows nothing, this seems a little inappropriate, right?" ”

Yang Chuan said quietly: "Prime Minister Gongsun Cheng has every opportunity every day, and he has been sighing all night, tossing and turning, and unable to sleep at night for my Han Jiangshan Society, which is hard work. ”

"Why don't you sit down and talk?"

As soon as Gongsun Hong, the old thief, entered the door, his face was smiling and amiable, but he stood with his hands in his hands, giving Yang Chuan the feeling that he was a little domineering, didn't he want to bully the small with the big?

Gongsun Hong shook his head and said with an indifferent smile: "The Marquis of Changning is the Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty, how dare Gongsun Hong sit down and talk in front of you." ”

Well, it's finally here.

Sure enough, the old thief changed his words, and suddenly asked: "The Marquis of Changning has been appointed as the Great Agricultural Order, and a big mess of bad things has not been sorted out, so he has begun to accumulate money?" ”

Yang Chuan: "Make it clear." ”

Gongsun Hong's face became cold: "Don't understand enough? What does it mean that you manipulated a run on Nangong Money Village behind your back, letting other people run to the door and take away their own money and grain, but a few of you are depositing money in the money bank with great fanfare? ”

When Yang Chuan heard this, he turned his face directly.

"Gongsun Hong, your special mother is here to find trouble, right?" Yang Chuan splashed a bowl of tea on the ground in his hand and sneered: "At the beginning, in order to prepare money, food and weapons for the Northern Army camp, Ben Hou made this decision to set up Nangong Qianzhuang and compensated you for a little bit of my Yang family's old foundation.

What's the matter, Nangong Qianzhuang is missing your Gongsun Hong's interest? Or whose principal was deducted?

In order to let the emperor and the court fight the battle of Mobei, even if Benhou loses all his family, it will be silent, who makes Benhou hate the Huns the most in his life?

You have withdrawn your principal through a run, and you have earned countless amounts of interest, and now you are biting me in turn? ”

Yang Chuan sat down slowly and asked coldly: "Gongsun Hong, what do you want to do, please say it straight to the point, otherwise, get out!" ”

Gongsun Hong's face did not change much, only his eyes shrank slightly: "In this big agricultural order yamen, you are an official of the imperial court, and you dare to insult the prime minister?" ”

Yang Chuan laughed angrily.

Damn, I really think of myself as a green onion.

The little that you old boy is doing behind your back, Liu Che can't bear it, it's just that everything is under control, it just depends on how your grandson's family performs.

Ran to Benhou's territory to spread wild, what kind of bullshit prime minister's majesty did you...... Uh, well, Yang Chuan, as a big farmer, doesn't seem to dare to be too out of line.

Thereupon.

Yang Chuan suddenly changed his face to a smiling face: "What does the prime minister mean to say that you want Ben Hou to be polite when he speaks to you?" ”

Gongsun Hong Senran said: "What do you say? ”

Yang Chuan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then change to a polite statement, Prime Minister Gongsun, please get out!" ”

"Yang Chuan, you!"

Gongsun Hong was finally teased and couldn't hold himself back, and he pointed and scolded: "Yang Chuan, you dare to humiliate the old man when you are a little farmer?" If it weren't for the fact that you were young and ignorant, the old man would have been ......"

Yang Chuan turned his face again: "It's going to be your mother's match!" ”

"Come on, drag this old man who roars in the court, insults the officials of the court, and despises the marquis of the Han Dynasty out to Benhou and beats him to death!"

"Dog, you're old because your mother gave birth to you a few decades earlier, and you're just going to die decades early, and you still have a long face?"

"Drag it out and beat it to death!"

The subordinates of the Great Agricultural Order looked at each other and did not dare to squeak, and the group of officials and miscellaneous servants who were like wolves and tigers on weekdays were silent at this moment, like a group of deaf and dumb people.

Yang Chuan knew this scene.

Gongsun Hong sneered: "The old man is here, see which one dares to come up without knowing whether he is alive or dead?" Even if it is above the court, when the emperor sees the old man entering the palace, he has to descend and camp, you Yang Chuan ......"

Without waiting for Gongsun Hong to finish speaking, Yang Chuan once again waved his hand rudely and interrupted the old thief's words: "Old horseman, can you shut up?" ”

"Are you so crooked and forced to chatter, believe it or not, Benhou beat your old puppet out of the?"

Gongsun Hong sneered and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer, he is really a slave, and he is really vulgar." ”

Yang Chuan waited for this sentence.

He has repeatedly studied Gongsun Hong, and found that this humble scholar is indeed very powerful, whether he is studying or being an official, he is the first-class person in the Han Empire, so it is no wonder that people can become prime ministers.

However, Yang Chuan stubbornly believes that in this world, as long as there is a person, there will inevitably be human weaknesses.

In a word, Gongsun Hong is not a saint yet, and there are always times when he makes mistakes.

Gongsun Hong's mistake is that he loves fame very much and has too good face.

The most lethal point is that the old thief is easy to fall for......

If there's a mistake, it's easy.

Yang Chuan leaned on the embroidered couch, leaned on a Shu brocade pillow, and stared coldly at Gongsun Hong's eyes: "Ben Hou has never read any books, and he speaks rudely, which is quite normal, unlike Prime Minister Gongsun, who is worthy of being a scholar, not only does his words sound good, but he can also be calm when he kills......

Gongsun Hong's face was gloomy: "What is the Marquis of Changning talking about?" The old man has been an official for half a lifetime, and his sleeves are breezy, and everyone in the world can see it, which is like you Changning Hou, and the young man is ambitious, which is a sign of early death. ”

Yang Chuan laughed: "Ben Hou died early or not, it's not your turn to talk nonsense and point fingers, as long as Ben Hou doesn't go to your house to be a servant, and doesn't sweep the courtyard for your grandson's house, how can you kill me?" ”

Gongsun Hong's face was finally slightly moved: "Marquis Changning, don't want to spew blood!" ”

"I'm spurting blood? The servant woman you strangled to death at the beginning was the mother-in-law of the daughter-in-law of the cousin-in-law of the nephew of the nephew of the fourth wife of Zhang Lao in my Zhuangzi, and she didn't have a surname, but she had a name called Jin Lian, right? ”

Yang Chuan poured himself a bowl of tea with a smile, took a sip, and continued: "It's really unfortunate, the servant woman named Jin Lian who was strangled to death by Prime Minister Gongsun has a relative in my Zhuangzi, because she eavesdropped on the conversation between Benhou and Da Changmen, and now it is in the hands of Uncle Cui Jiu......"
