Chapter 250: A Big Game of Chess
Dean Dongye Song looked at Duguchen who was smiling like a spring breeze, and only felt a cool breath rushing from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit cover.
Jiangbei Shaoru Duguchen, the name of the year resounded north of the Yangtze River.
Of course, there is the propaganda of the family, but its people are indeed really talented and learned, which can be seen from their conversation and style.
This person is invisible, and he is thoughtful.
Many local rice merchants in Yanzhou have suffered losses from rice merchants in his hands, and once the Dugu family embezzled 30% of Yanzhou's grain market.
"Dean, Liang Xiao killed Ram Lei in public, this matter has a bad impact, what do you think?"
Facing Duguchen's smile, Dongye Song's heart sank, and he said: "Naturally, I am waiting for the notice of the imperial court, after all, the Marquis of Lanling does have the Son of Heaven Ling Sword by his body and controls the military and politics of Yanzhou." ”
"How is that different from a warlord? Are you afraid of Liang Xiao's might and refuse to say a few words? Duguchen finally pulled down his face.
"I said it, wait for the notice from the court." Higashino Song looked helpless.
Duguchen said in a deep voice: "Since you retreat, then it is up to me to mobilize the students of Yanzhou Academy." As the dean, you should lead by example, but now you want one of my juniors to help......"
After speaking, Duguchen didn't forget to sigh.
Dongye Song looked at Duguchen's back and fell silent.
The Higashino clan didn't want to provoke the Dugu family.
On the square, Duguchen smiled and waved to the talented and beautiful people in the audience who were full of reverence, feeling gratified.
This place is not Jiangbei, but it is still his home field!
Liang Xiao had a good conversation with the horse merchants in the Western Regions, and the brief bargaining was also successfully concluded.
After the imperial court commissioner inspected these war horses, if there were no accidents, it would probably cost seven hundred and ten thousand taels of silver.
Of course, what the people of the Western Regions really care about is not silver, but the goods of the Great Zhou that Westerners care about.
For example, white sugar, which the Persians would absolutely love.
Zari asked Liang Xiao to exchange 400,000 taels of silver for sugar, and the price was set at 390 wen a catty.
The transportation of more than one million catties of sugar, their convoy can fully withstand it.
This price is the price of sugar that Liang Xiao set for Wu Tumu before.
Sugarcane from the capital and a little further south has been sent to the capital for sugar production.
One million catties will greatly reduce the inventory, but Liang Xiao can still afford it.
In addition, Zari also applied to Liang Xiao for another 100,000 taels of silver to purchase two kinds of wine.
No matter which country, there is no shortage of poor and rich, the Great Zhou, Persia, Rome, the Kingdom of Heaven and Sun...... Nothing more.
Zari drank the moon and praised it.
After the publicity of the newspapers, he also knew that the rich people of Da Zhou loved these two kinds of wine.
One hundred thousand taels of silver is regarded as an attempt.
After the two sides signed the contract, Zari and the others knelt down on one knee to Liang Xiao on the spot, grateful.
As Wu Tumu said, doing business with Liang Xiao is indeed worry-free.
They came to the Great Zhou from the Western Regions, and they were worried all the way, and they were inevitably subjected to all kinds of deductions, exploitations, and various price reductions along the way, which were unbearable.
If the fate is unlucky, the merchants of the Western Regions may never return home......
Liang Xiao, on behalf of the official, did business neatly and neatly, and promised to fight for customs clearance documents for them along the way.
For example, the Guanlong nobles are considered warlords, but they can't help but give face to the court.
The remaining silver is enough to open up relationships and apply for military escorts along the way.
If the trip is successful, these white sugar and fine wine can be transported to the Western Regions, where there are still Western merchants who come and go......
This group of horse merchants in the Western Regions dare not imagine the days when they will get rich!
This trip may only take a third of the estimated time!
Don't be too cool!
Taishou Mansion, in the room.
Mu Qinxue sat on Liang Xiao's lap and let him hold it, a little hesitant.
The Dingguo Marquis Mansion was responsible for selling Liang Xiao's sugar.
Selling so much sugar to Zari and them went to a massive inventory at once, and the Dingguo Marquis Mansion could also make a lot of money.
"My father said, you don't have to make a profit in the business you do outside, you can just sell the sugar~" Mu Qinxue said softly.
Liang Xiao smiled softly: "That's my future father-in-law's family, isn't it different?" ”
Mu Qinxue's face turned crimson, and she leaned into Liang Xiao's arms.
The luck of this life, and the alliance with him.
She is a woman in the world, but in front of him, like a little girl!
The shyness that she only had when she faced Liang Xiao made her not need to disguise herself as a lady at all!
"Huh?"
When Mu Qinxue was thinking wildly, her eyes fell on the drawings on Liang Xiao's desk.
"What is this? Farm tools? ”
Liang Xiao explained: "It's Quyuan plow, I observed our Dazhou farm tools a while ago and found that it can be improved. After the finished product came out, it was deeply appreciated by the prime minister. This curved plough can significantly improve the efficiency of farming. ”
"That will definitely be able to promote the whole country~" Mu Qinxue looked proud, and couldn't help but kiss Liang Xiao's chin.
Her lover is working for the benefit of the people again!
"Your Majesty should be spreading the edict all over the country at this time, supervising the manufacture of various parts, and when she receives the news from my Yanzhou, she can fly pigeons to pass on the book, teach the splicing of government offices all over the country, and then promote it to the people. By then, the parts should have just been made. ”
"Brother, why does the promotion of Quyuan plough need such cumbersome steps this time?" Jiang Fuxue looked curious.
Liang Xiao said: "Because, my brother is playing a big game of chess with His Majesty. We have already found out that a large number of rice merchants in Yanzhou are gradually evacuating, which may cause famine. In this case, there is no need to rush to spread the news of the Quyuan plow, after all, even if His Majesty announces to the world that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, the Quyuan plough cannot be made without parts, but it may startle the snake. ”
"Are you worried that the price of land will rise because of this?" Mu Qinxue suddenly realized and analyzed, "After all, if the cultivation efficiency is high, the yield that a farmer can provide will naturally increase, and the farmland will become hot." ”
Jiang Fuxue added: "And then? The peasants themselves couldn't afford to buy much land, and in the end they let the big landlords hoard it......"
"You're so smart!"
After Liang Xiao praised with a smile, he said earnestly: "Since ancient times, the people have always been weak, it is normal for landlords to buy and sell on weekdays, and there is a huge amount of land in Yanzhou, in the hands of those big families, most of them are forcibly seized by various means. This time, I want them to spit it out. ”
The sisters nodded silently, equally indignant.
If it weren't for these great families, Liang Xiao would have had much easier governance of Yanzhou.
These great families are all surrenderers, and they are subservient to the Beihu people, and they just want to leave a devastated Yanzhou for the Great Zhou.
and even the entire north and west.
Even...... Whole week!
Mu Qinxue suddenly remembered something, and said suspiciously: "I remember that the Tuoba clan has recently confiscated assets, and there are more than one million acres of farmland in Yanzhou, what should the imperial court do with these lands?" ”
