Chapter 69 Liu Family Salt Banknote Auction(1/2)
"Dinglongtai Poetry Festival!"
After receiving the invitation, Wang Yuan opened it and shook his head: "I have no interest in poetry clubs!"
In the late Jin Dynasty, dragons and snakes started their way; the first emperor of Daye fought outside Jiushan County, defeating the contemporaries of the emperor and laid the foundation for the hegemony of the imperial map!
After the great victory, he wrote a poem on the battlefield. Then, a prefect of Jiushan County built Dinglongtai and convened the scholars of the county to hold a poetry meeting, which was passed down from generation to generation.
Finally, with the participation of the royal family, the entry threshold became higher and higher.
The first scholar can participate, and gradually become a child, a scholar, and finally a juren.
Whoever shines in the Dinglongtai Poetry Club will become famous all over the world, and will even be favored by scholars and royal nobles, and can make friends with Jinshi and gain experience in the palace examination.
This is a grand event that scholars dream of!
However, for Wang Yuan, he had no interest in this kind of poetry, and he did not want to be with those juren and jinshi.
These people know, but he doesn't know how to speak at all.
Zhao Weimin smiled bitterly: "Mr. studied the genius, and naturally disdained the path of poetry and prose! It was just the strategy of tearing down the wall taught by Mr. last time. The court has not yet sent back the news. It is estimated that the left and right ministers will fight again. This strategy will only fail in the end.
Let it go!"
Wang Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "Don't tell me these bad things. The two factions bite their dogs and only know how to destroy each other, but they just don't do serious things. Regardless of the life or death of the people in the world, they are all corpses and corpses!"
"Actually, the left minister..."
Seeing Wang Yuan's expression unhappy, Zhao Weimin changed the subject and said, "Although the Dinglongtai Poetry Conference has been small in recent years, there are still many scholars, including the students of Chengzhou, the children of the county, and even the children of aristocratic families.
Wang Haitian, the host of the poetry meeting, was a student and his brother. I asked for a voting place for my husband! If my husband can go to participate, he will definitely expand his influence. In the future, whether he preaches and careers, or wins the building, he will have more support.
wholesale!"
"Who did I pass on this knowledge to? Even a god like Daye can't save him!"
Wang Yuan was speechless, and suddenly his eyes lit up again: "There are children from the county and the noble families who participated, so this poetry meeting will definitely be short of money!"
"Money, uh, uh!"
Zhao Weimin was stunned and nodded.
At the Dinglongtai Poetry Conference, it was a chance to become famous, but how could the sir get money?
No, sir would never be so superficial, this statement must have profound meaning!
Could it be that the gentleman wants to make money from these rich people to help the poor people?
Just as he was worried about the Tang sword, he couldn't find a place to sell it. When he was sleepy, the cheap student came to deliver the pillows. Wang Yuan thought about it and shook his head: "I still can't go to this Dinglongtai Poetry Fair!"
Zhao Weimin was surprised: "Why, sir?"
Wang Yuan spread his hands: "From Fu County to Jiushan County, you have to pass through two counties, a total of 270 miles, and it is not peaceful along the way!"
He wanted to go to the county town, after all, big places are easier to make money!
However, it is really difficult to go out for hundreds of miles in this era!
And there is no navigation, no map, and I don’t know where I go!
Zhao Weimin was stunned and stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, "Sir, I am not considerate. I am an official, and even if there are bandits on the road, I dare not rob me. But Mr. is a white man, so it is indeed unsafe to go to Jiushan County.
.”
Zhao Qinghe next to her was shocked!
This middle-aged man is actually an official, and he is so polite to his prodigal cousin!
"master!"
Head Xu beside him bowed his waist and fisted and said, "If you really want to go to Jiushan County, there is no way. You just need to pay attention to a few points!"
Wang Yuan was interested: "Please speak with Captain Xu!"
This man was actually the headmaster. Zhao Qinghe was so shocked that she covered her mouth and looked at Zhao Weimin again!
The headmaster called him master, is he? He is a little afraid to think about it!
"Don't dare!"
Captain Xu took out a map and spread it out and pointed out: "If you want to go to Jiushan County, there were three places to pay attention to. Heihu Mountain, Daqingling, Yishitian, and now the bandits in the Three Tiger Village of Heihu Mountain were robbed.
The gentleman eliminated it, and only Daqingling was left. There were bandits in the Yishitian area. Among them, Daqingling's forces were similar to Sanhuzhai. The Yishitian's strength was stronger than the two. The gentleman needs special attention, but only the
It’s still easy to buy money to pass.”
"I'll take a look!"
Wang Yuan took the map.
A map is not big, and it leads from Fu County to Jiushan County, with the county town, market, river, mountain range, road, mountain road, inn, and inn marked on it.
It looks like a casual draw, very rough!
Captain Xu's face changed. When he saw Zhao Weimin turning around and going out, he lowered his head and said nothing!
Maps are prohibited items among the people, and civilians are not allowed to keep them privately!
Merchants can draw simple maps, but they are just business and shipping routes.
His map is used by the yamen runners, which is more detailed than that used by merchants and is simpler than that of the army!
It is logical that ordinary people can't watch it!
However, the master pretended not to see it, so he could only pretend not to see it.
After reading the map, Wang Yuan remembered it all in his heart and returned it!
Captain Xu put away the map and began to remind him again: "If you really go to Jiushan County, you should pay attention to the fact that in addition to the large number of bandits, there are also small thieves on the road. It is best to equip the entourage with swords to ensure safety.
!”
"With a sword?"
Wang Yuan was shocked: "The law of great cause is not a provision. Can ordinary people wear swords and swords?"
Captain Xu smiled and said, "The law is naturally stipulated that way, but now the world is not peaceful outside. If you go out without a sword to defend yourself, those merchants will have been snatched away by the thieves. The government now turns a blind eye and only has a sword to be used.
Go to the government to report, pay a sum of money, and send a document to the government, so you can naturally carry it. However, only swords, guns, swords, bows and crossbows, and armor are still prohibited items.”
Wang Yuan nodded with a chuckle: "Thank you, Captain Xu, for your advice!"
Captain Xu suddenly changed his mind: "I wonder if Mr. is interested in being a salt merchant?"
Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me tell me?"
Daye sells salt and salt banknote system.
The court issued salt banknotes, and merchants spent money to buy salt banknotes, and finally went to the salt farm to transport salt mines, and then formulated the area according to the salt banknotes and sold them at the time.
Without salt money, it means selling private salt. The government will be arrested and sent to jail or even beheaded.
For ordinary people, buying salt money to be a salt merchant is a way to make a fortune!
But he has too many ways to make money and is not interested in becoming a salt merchant!
However, the salt in Daye is too poor in refining technology and has a lot of impurities inside!
Eating it for a long time is harmful to the human body.
If you have the opportunity, selling fine salt without impurities will also benefit the people!
However, Fuxian Salt Industry has always been under the control of the Liu family, can the government take it back?
Headmaster Xu whispered: "We go to the Liu family to search the house, and the Liu family will be searched for the salt banknote next year. The county government decided to auction it tomorrow. If you are interested, you can prepare the money and try it. The master said, if you take it,
If you start this business, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!”
Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "How much money does it cost?"
Headmaster Xu whispered: "There are a total of 600,000 jin of salt banknotes, a jin of five cents of silver. The county government will sell it at this price. However, other big households in the county will definitely compete for salt banknotes, and the sale will be more expensive.
.”
The salt field and salt well are usually priced at a few cents, and it is sold to the market for dozens of cents and hundreds of cents. It is all about various relationships to deal with the shipping fee. Wang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Guo Cang, come here with ten pieces of soap!
”
Guo Cang went to the carriage and took out ten pieces of soap!
Wang Yuan stuffed three pieces over: "Don't dislike a little bit of stuff!"
"Sir, I'm going to break my mind. How can I ask for your stuff?"
Holding three pieces of soap, Captain Xu wanted to put it away, but he was a little afraid to take it!
This soap costs one yuan and three guan, and three yuan means nine guan, not a small amount!
Wang Yuan ignored him and stuffed seven pieces of soap to Zhao Weimin in a daze and said, "If you can use it, you can give it to the one under the bottom if you can't use it!"
"Mr. Xie!"
Holding seven pieces of soap, Zhao Weimin frowned: Mr. gave me a bunch of soap and asked me to give it to the people below. This move must have a profound meaning? Does the gentleman want me to deal with the officials below so that they will not be able to do so.
Extorting the people! Yes, governing the country is like governing officials, and governing the world is peaceful. This is what sir! Don’t worry, I will rectify the minor officials of the county government and give the people a bright world!
