Chapter 439: Bottom-up
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Seventh brother, you think it's simple, Song Jiang wants to recruit An, but in fact, he is also in a crisis internally, you think, everyone has different reasons for rebellion, and their demands are different." If Song Jiang wants to recruit An, there will be people who agree and some people who oppose it, Xie Shi and Hu Yanzhuo's opportunity is at this time, once Song Jiang has a dispute within him, he will lose his current sharpness and unity. Xie Shi's strategy, coupled with Hu Yanzhuo's courage, should be successful. ”
Yang Zhi's analysis is reasonable, Song Jiang's people come from all over the world, and they will never be monolithic, but the most important thing to do is the person who is planning things, Liu Qi sighed and said: "I'm afraid that Hu Yanzhuo has the courage to do this kind of thing, and Song Jiang and others are reckless, pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, and those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes. ”
That's for sure, even if the current Song Jiang and Song Saburo are not as mysterious as Shi Nai'an, just look at how steady he has been every step from the beginning of the army to the present, Song Jiang and Song Saburo are definitely not such a person to deal with; Yang Zhi smiled and said: "The fifth brother doesn't have to worry, Song Jiang is bent on recruiting An, even if Hu Yanzhuo misses, Song Jiang not only does not dare to kill Hu Yanzhuo, but also does everything possible to cover up for Hu Yanzhuo, after all, he has to think about what happens after Zhao'an, and he can't be an official after he is full of enemies." ”
Liu Zhongwu became interested: "Yang Zhi, when you say this, you are alluding to the fact that Song Jiang's rebellion was purposeful from the beginning. Of course, otherwise Song Jiangda could let Hu Yanzhuo come back to report the news and discuss the matter of Zhao'an, and he left Hu Yanzhuo, who was actually a hostage. So in your opinion, what is Song Jiang's purpose?"
Yang Zhi shook his head and said: "Then you have to have enough clues to guess it, but Song Jiang's plot must not be simple, Hua Rong is not a person who listens to people casually, and the people of Songjiazhuang in Qingzhou are even more suspicious when they are plundered by Song Jiang." Song Jiazhuang is one of the eighteen rudders of Meihuamen, otherwise Song Jiang and his father Song Taigong broke off the father-son relationship is fake, or they want to blackmail Meihuamen. Fortunately, someone is in charge of this matter, and we can follow King Jing back, but I have good news for you, I heard about a master who makes weapons, if he finds it, he can give you the knife in half a year, but Quduan, you have to help buy iron or steel from the Western Xia and Western Regions, the more the better. ”
Qu Duan and Liu Qi discussed it in advance, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, our brothers have a way in this regard, just?"
"Money is not a problem, I will set up a blacksmith shop when I return to Bianliang, and you will put a thousand taels of silver tickets here, and you will pay when the iron arrives in Bianliang. Yang Zhi knew that Qu Duan and the others were still at the grassroots level, and they had money on hand, but they were not yet rich enough to do business. Qu Duan breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Zhi's generous statement could dispel Jiao Anjie's worries; Liu Qi smiled and said, "Big brother, I'm in Bianliang, you can give them four." ”
Yang Zhi took out the silver ticket and gave one thousand taels, Yang Zhi didn't care whether they were helping him to procure, but to make his own atmospheric performance; these people were enveloped, not in business, but in the needs of the turbulent years in the future, it is likely to save more people in the Central Plains, and maybe it can change in the battle of Song and Jin. Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the unpredictable war, and the lives of thousands of miles in the Central Plains were devastated.
Mi Youren was the youngest, but he was also the most slippery, and when he heard the sigh, he immediately asked, "Big brother, do you have any other ideas?"
Yang Zhi nodded and said: "Jin Guo has always been our henchman, but it's too early to say it now, and no one believes it." But in the future, it will be the Jin State that will pose a threat to the Central Plains. ”
Qu Duan grinned disapprenomerly and said: "That uncivilized Jurchen, don't take it to heart, big brother, yesterday's banquet guests in Fengxiang Mansion were like clouds, except for Qin Fenglu Jingluo to appease the envoy and Wang Duan, the head of the sixteen Jiaozi Banks in Chengdu, and Qu Tuchu, the richest man in Qinzhou, all came. ”
During the period of Song Renzong, the government established the official Yizhou Jiaozi Affairs, but the Jiaozi Shop composed of 16 wealthy merchants in Chengdu was still the most trusted business name of the southwesters, especially after the continuous printing of Jiaozi for the Western Xia War, if it were not for the century-old reputation of the 16 Jiaozi Firms, the Jiaozi in Sichuan would have been changed to Qian Yin like other places; it can be said that Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places can also use Jiaozi, and most of the credit is on the 16 Jiaozi Firms.
Zhang Zun is the head of Jiaozixing, and his appearance can only be said that the rumored transaction between Tong Guan and Chengdu is true, and it should be a coincidence that he came to the northwest to discuss business; Qu Tuchu is a salt merchant, and nominally deals in the salt of Jiechi, but no one knows what he is doing. These two people are cloth clothes, and their appearance at the banquet is actually a mockery of the officials who stay in the camp, where is the so-called official rank.
Although the Song Dynasty was the golden age of merchants, and the wave of commerce swept the entire border, the status of merchants was still very low; the status of merchants was still the worst, but the Song Dynasty did not have complicated regulations on supplies, and the clothing of merchants began to be as extravagant as officials, which caused the dissatisfaction of many scholars. This arrangement of Fengxiang Mansion is tantamount to a slap in the face of these officials and generals, and it also provokes their fragile nerves.
Yang Zhi looked at Qu Duan and said with a smile: "Businessmen making money is also a skill, and there is no difference between high and low in the skill itself, just like doing business only depends on the results, the opportunity that can be used for the wind and clouds is expensive, and it is cheap when used to get involved in the world." Sometimes destiny is unpredictable, and some people never have great ambitions, but end up sitting in high positions. ”
Liu Zhongwu's eyes stared at Yang Zhi's face, and he smiled: "In fact, I often can't help myself, just say that the Jiaozi Xing in Sichuan was to meet military expenses during the Renzong period, but the reputation is very good, I remember that there is no problem with taking Jiaozi to pay military salaries; but later in Chongning three years, the imperial court ordered Jiaozi to be distributed throughout the country, and in just a few years, the price fell to the original 20%. It's just that a lot of the expenses and calculation methods of our Western Army are still Jiaozi, and Yizhou Jiaozi has long wanted to privately promote Jiaozi to Shaanxi Sixth Road, so that the credibility of Jiaozi can be guaranteed by relying on the strength of the Western Army. ”
Liu Zhongwu was able to say the word reputation, which impressed Yang Zhi, and at the same time understood what Zhang Zun meant, the imperial court was actually taking the initiative to depreciate Jiaozi, the world's first paper money, and Zhang Zun's purpose was to take advantage of Tong Guan's greed to graft the risk onto the head of the Western Army, and force the imperial court to cover the bottom when something happened.
