Chapter 998 The dog-eat-dog scene is about to begin
Yunchu felt that his son might be closer to the title of gentleman than he was.
Yun Jin felt that since there was a door to the Yun family's back house, Li Hong should knock on the door and enter.
He also felt that since Li Hong had a wife, he should not provoke his aunt and give birth to a daughter.
He also felt that since he could take the high road to achieve his goals, he should not take the rough and difficult shortcuts.
The conversations between father and son after dinner are usually very sincere and candid.
Because each other is the most trustworthy person, there is no need to pay attention to the way and method of speaking. Being outspoken can express your own opinions better.
Yun Jin added: "According to the methods that Aye taught me before to identify the true nature of things, what the child said just now must be inappropriate when measured from another angle.
However, the child just doesn’t like the other side and doesn’t want to follow the other side’s way of doing things.”
Yun Chu put down the white porcelain bottle he was wiping in his hand, looked at Yun Jin and said, "The reason why I have worked so hard to advance to this point is to give you a chance to live according to your own nature.
You are right to follow one side and look at things the way you like.
This is called stance.
If you stand up for one side and then defend another side, but also want to pull one side, or even want to cover all aspects, we generally call the character of a person who does things tactful.
In other words, this person is a ball.
In the physics I teach you, rolling is undoubtedly the most labor-saving direction of movement in the same environment. Of course, if the force you exert on the objects is large enough, then even triangular objects will move very quickly.
moving speed.
Since you don't like the spherical shape, then you have to make yourself very powerful, so powerful that you can ignore the convenience of movement brought by the spherical shape and still run the fastest."
"There are two things in this world that have this ability, one is power, and the other is wealth. Of course, it can be exchanged for other benefits depending on the person.
However, I have also seen a thing that can burst out the power to change the world without power and wealth. However, this kind of power is extremely rare, so it does not have the conditions to expand."
Yun Jin said: "What is it?"
Yun Chu looked at his son and said, "It's something called ideal."
Yun Jin said: "Without power and money, can only ideals change the world?"
Yun Chu hugged his son and said, "Yes, there was once a group of young people who had nothing, and they held a meeting on a broken boat, and then they dispersed to spread their ideals.
During this period, some people retreated, some surrendered, some failed, and some died for it. Of course, some persevered and endured numerous hardships. It took twenty-eight years to finally realize their ideals."
Yun Jin thought for a long time and said: "This is not from history books."
Yun Chu touched his son's bald head and said, "But it's true. You, Aye, saw it in person and didn't tell you, and later joined their ranks."
Yun Jin raised her head and looked at her father's firm eyes, nodded and said, "Add ideals, and put them before power and money."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Are you so relieved?"
Yun Jin said firmly: "Aye will not lie to me."
Yunchu laughed loudly, then took the white porcelain bottle from behind and handed it to Yun Jin, saying: "The color of the white porcelain bottle is too plain, and the Guanzhong celadon is too clumsy. I like more flexible porcelain. There is a color of porcelain in the world called Yuguo.
The sky is clear and the clouds are breaking, this color is the future. If Aye wants this kind of porcelain, go and make it. Our family's fortune depends on it."
Yun Jin held the white porcelain bottle and said, "No direction?"
Yun Chu handed him a thin booklet and said: "My knowledge is limited. This booklet is some experience accumulated by our kiln over the years. You can use this experience to see if you can make it."
Yun Jin took the book and hesitated for a moment and said, "Is it because of the outrageous things the child said today that Aye asked me to make a bottle of that color?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "That's right, everyone has to be responsible for what they have said. Since you choose to say it, Aye thinks it's great. If you can do it, Aye thinks it's even better."
Yun Jin asked again: "Can you share some of it with Wen Huan and Di Guangsi?"
Yun Chu asked strangely: "Why is there no Li Chengxiu?"
Yun Jin said: "His coursework is different from ours. Aye seems to have other arrangements for him."
Yunchu sighed and said: "You, sometimes you are stupid, and sometimes you are as smart as a monkey."
Yun Jin said: "Is it better to be stupid, or to be as smart as a monkey?"
Yun Chu looked at the flower trees with fallen leaves outside the window and said, "Find it yourself."
The kings, envoys, and caravans of the twenty-eight countries in the Western Regions commanded by Naha finally arrived in Chang'an. Wen Wenwen, who came back one day earlier than Naha's caravan, went out to reveal the caravan of hundreds of countries in the Western Regions.
This time, part of the Western Regions caravan is preparing to deliver the contracted goods, and the other part is bringing various treasures, gold, and silver from the twenty-eight countries of the Western Regions.
They were very serious about building the Tang Dynasty and All Nations Songde Tianshu.
With the arrival of Yuyang and the caravans from the Western Regions, Qujiang City's originally empty cargo yard was once again filled to the brim. It was not until this time that the small merchants who sold the transaction contract documents to others knew that their original decision was
How stupid.
When they started transporting goods from Yuyang, Handan, and Xuzhou from east to west in Yunchu, Zeng Fu, the big shopkeeper of Liushui brand, also sent his shopkeepers to Yangzhou to urge the goods to be returned to Chang'an.
Those shopkeepers who were originally unable to move forward in Yangzhou and Shu suddenly became much easier to talk to after the Jinyang Liushui brand was launched. When Yunchu returned to Chang'an and began to purchase documents from small merchants, those merchants who took the deposit
They organized the goods and seemed very sincere.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yun Chu once again began to collect transaction documents, but there were only few people willing to sell the documents to Yun Chu.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, businessmen began to come to the door, willing to sell a large number of documents in their hands to Yun Chu at a price of 60%, but Yun Chu refused.
The Pei family returned not only the capital of 360,000 yuan, but also the delivery documents that they had not had time to sell. The reason why Yunchu refused to acquire the transaction documents from the large merchants was simple, that is, he did not intend to complete the transaction with them.
Delivery.
At least, before these large merchants signed a new sales contract with Liushui Brand, Yunchu had no intention of letting them complete the delivery, and was planning to split the goods and sell them.
This is what the nobles get when they act like hooligans.
Good news also came from Zhou Xing. After interrogating the captured bandits, they followed the map and captured Pei Yu, the big shopkeeper of the Pei family on Ganliang Road.
Yunchu believed that Pei Yu would reveal more people of the Pei family soon, and eventually it would gradually affect Pei Yan. Yunchu had great confidence in Zhou Xing.
Pei Xingjian can protect Pei Yan temporarily, but it will never protect him forever.
It was not until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year that the originally lifeless Chang'an City finally showed a bit of prosperity.
Seeing groups of people walking through Zhuque Street beating gongs and drums, carrying names of goods and merchants on their backs, Yun Chu's face that had been gloomy for many days finally had a smile.
"What's the flow of people today and the ratio of cars to horses?"
Lu Zhaolin, Yang Jiong and others standing behind Yun Chu immediately said: "It has recovered to 60% of what Long Shuo was at the same time of the year."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "It's better than I expected. This year's Lantern Festival garden activities are the top priority, and the food festival in Jinchangfang must be organized to be more unique than in previous years.
I hope to use this garden tour and the seven-day Jinchangfang Food Festival to completely restore Changan people’s confidence in Changan’s business.”
Lu Zhaolin hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, someone visited our ancestor last night. Our ancestor also wanted to let the lower official know, so he ordered the lower official to accompany him.
The person who came to visit my ancestor was Wei Tongshen of Chang'an Webster's. He said that he wanted to sell Webster's remaining trading contract to me, Lu, at 30% of the original price.
Xiaguan thought, since both parties revealed the deal in the presence of Xiaguan, is it possible that they wanted to spread the news to the county magistrate through Xiaguan?"
Yun Chu smiled when he heard this and said to Lu Zhaolin: "When you go back, tell Mr. Lu that if it is less than 10%, you can keep it, and I will buy it from you, Lu, at 10%.
If they feel they are losing money, then forget it."
When Yang Jiong heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Lower officials can also share the worries of the county magistrate."
Yun Chu smiled and looked at the young officials behind him and said, "Aren't you willing?"
The young official immediately said: "Of course I am willing."
Yun Chu turned around and looked at these young officials and said, "As a result, many merchants who originally relied on wealthy families will be in trouble."
Lu Zhaolin lived up to his reputation as a child prodigy. Hearing this, he immediately said: "The Lu family's property is not rich, and they have long wanted to expand it."
Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "Then do it quickly, don't let others take the lead."
Returning to the Yamen from Zhuque Street, Yun Chu had just drank two cans of tea when he saw Shen Ru walking in hurriedly. Before taking a breath, he said to Yun Chu: "Pei Xingjian and Zhou Xing are confronting each other in Yongle Square. Currently, the two sides are at war with each other. , on the verge of breaking out.”
Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Isn't this the only method Zhou Xing can use?"
Shen Rudao: "At present, it seems that the two sides are unwilling to give in to each other and can get angry at any time."
While the two were talking, the county magistrate Zhang Jia hurriedly walked in and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Xing captured the men of Pei Lian's family in Baiyefang, and now he has been sent to the Wannian County dungeon."
Yun Chu smiled and said to Shen Ru, "What a good strategy to attack in the east and attack in the west."
Shen Ru followed with a smile and said: "Pei Xuan of Yonglefang has always been on good terms with Pei Xingjian. It seems that our General Pei is also turning a blind eye and goofing off."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "If the Pei family of Chang'an and the Pei family of Luoyang do not fall, how can the Pei family of Hedong grow stronger?"
