When the three of them were quiet, Yun Ye put down the tea cup in his hand, pulled out a scroll from his back and said to them: "You see, in order to maintain a certain symmetry in the palace, this palace can only be built next to Taiye Pond. Of course,
The scenery here is also the most beautiful, but the place is not big enough and needs to be expanded outwards. The result of the expansion is that it will form a palace complex with Hanyuan Hall. In this way, the entire palace will actually look more magnificent. I think the palace under the sunset will
How magnificent it is.”
"But the more magnificent it is, the more money we will spend," He Shao was now afraid of hearing words such as magnificent and magnificent. He wished he could build a palace like a pigsty.
"The empress only asked me to build a palace, but she didn't ask me to even buy the furnishings in the palace. We were ordered to purchase various building materials, including golden nan, white marble, and other messy things. Golden
I will buy the silk nan and white marble, and Lao He will buy the other materials. If you look carefully, we will order as long as it is needed for construction. We will order it from the local government. This time it is not paid by the royal family, so it is good for the local government.
The picture will definitely open the door to convenience. The 30,000 guan given by the empress is used for these things.
If we don't give the money for ordering materials to the local government, but to the national treasury, that means the local government no longer has to send treasury money to Chang'an, but only needs to send the goods over, and those servants are no longer
If you work for nothing, you will be paid, so there is no bullying of the people. I think the local government will definitely like this method."
"More than just liking them, they must be grateful to Marquis Yun." The door was pushed open, and Li Jing walked in, followed by Lao Zhuang who looked ashamed. Judging from his painful expression, he must have been restrained by Li Jing and could not make a sound.
.
Give Lao Zhuang a smile, indicating that it's okay, and ask him to step back.
Li Jing sat on Yun Ye's chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and said to Yun Ye: "Go on, continue talking about your plan. I plan to invest some money in your home. I was outside the door just now and didn't listen carefully. You
Let’s talk about it in detail.”
"What I mean is to ask the local government to send the things over. The money is given from Chang'an. We then deport it to the national treasury, which counts as part of their tax money. This saves one round trip and we can reduce the cost by 20%. That is to say
In addition to the income from Xinghuafang, we can basically achieve a balance of payments. At most, we have to work harder. But Lao He, you will make friends with officials from various places in this process. In the future, if you need certain goods, you only need to give them
It is enough to send a letter to the local government. In this way, you will always save at least two costs than others. Who else among the merchants in Chang'an City are your opponents?"
Lao He's fat face began to shine with oil. Sweat kept dripping down. He clapped his hands excitedly and raised his two thumbs to the sky.
"This means that I can't get any profit from my capital, right?" Li Jing was very dissatisfied that he was spending money in vain and could not get any benefits.
"Uncle Li, how can I let you work in vain? To build the palace, you only need eighty-one pieces of golden nanmu. I plan to order a thousand pieces from Shu and build them into rafts from the waterway to the east capital. What do you think?"
Li Jing is not Li Gang. He has all the waterways in the world in his mind. With a little thought, he understands that it is indeed an excellent way to go straight down the Yangtze River with giant trees, all the way to Yangzhou, and then follow the canal to Dongdu."
"Boy, if you bring in Navy Commander Zhang Liang to your business again, everything will be safe. Don't tell outsiders that I also invested five thousand dollars in stocks. This old face can't afford to be embarrassed." After saying that, he stood up and left.
.
After sending Li Jing out, Cheng Chumo and the others also said goodbye and went home. These matters must be explained clearly to the main people in the family to avoid misunderstandings.
Yun Ye looked worried at the copper coins all over the yard. The old lady stood far away, wondering why everyone was rushing to carry money home. Could it be that his grandson had a big business to do?
There are some things that Yun Ye didn't say clearly, that is, they are the ten piers that were specially visited. Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Guanzhong that eight rivers surround Chang'an. The eight rivers refer to the eight rivers of Wei, Jing, Feng, Lao, Li, Pou, Chan and Ba.
, they flow around the city of Xi'an and all belong to the Yellow River system.
Sima Xiangru wrote in the famous poem "Ode to Shanglin" that "Eight rivers are flowing away from each other, and they are different from each other." He described the beauty of Shanglin Garden in the Han Dynasty. From then on, there was a saying that "eight rivers surround Chang'an".
describe.
Among the eight rivers, the Wei River merges into the Yellow River, and the other seven rivers all flow into the Wei River. It is these huge water systems that Yun Ye is interested in. They extend in almost all directions. Even if they cannot carry large ships, with today's wooden ships, it can cost less than 100 pieces.
Boats can move unimpeded.
For some reason, the officials in Chang'an only regarded these waters as water sources and did not even pay attention to the navigation capabilities of these rivers. Every time he stood at the top of Chang'an City and looked at the bustling camel teams and ox carts, Yun Ye wanted to run.
Ask the officials of Chang'an City what they were thinking. It wasn't until Wu Zetian's time that they began to really face the transportation capabilities of these rivers.
There is not a single wharf in Chang'an. Looking at the cool blue water passing through Chang'an city day after day, Yun Ye is in the fantasy city of the Emperor Wu's era when sails gathered into a forest.
Forget it, since no one likes to use water channels, let me do it. The academy is in urgent need of a permanent financial source to support its basic operations. If a windfall comes from heaven, if you don't take it, you will suffer from it.
You only need to simply build a few docks and some warehouses, and you can make huge profits and enjoy the dividends brought by water transportation forever. No one has thought of such a simple thing? The northwest is a dry land, and there are more horses than boats. Once your thinking is fixed,
Will you never get the hang of it?
The leader of Li Chengqian's bodyguard came to the Yun family and brought 5,000 coins, saying that it was sent by the prince. He asked Yun Ye to accept it and build a palace for his father. As a son, he really had no reason to stand by and watch.
.
In other words, this money does not need to be repaid, which was made very clear, but Yun Ye said to the head of the guard: "Please go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince, brother of the guard, just because he is a poor man, I will accept it."
His 5,000 guan investment will be counted as profit after two years, and Yun Ye will not let his 5,000 guan disappear just like that."
The guard's eyes were wide open and his nostrils were flaring. He seemed unsure of how to face Yun Ye. Finally, he fisted and left in a hurry. He was really worried that he would use his fists to attack Yun Ye.
A mark was left on Yun Ye's face.
I have seen ungrateful people, but I have never seen Yun Ye like this. The prince's good intentions were all gone to the dogs, and he felt deeply unworthy of the prince.
The fast horse quickly sent him back to the East Palace. Li Chengqian was flying a kite with his sister in the garden. The silk kite was flying precariously in the sky. Lan Ling screamed loudly, urging his brother to run faster.
Some, so that the kite can fly higher.
Seeing that the guard was back, Li Chengqian handed the kite to Lan Ling. He took the cloth handed by the servant and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He had too many sisters. Every girl asked his brother to help them carry the kite.
He said to the sky that he was preparing for March 3rd. He felt that he had been running for a day, but when he thought that Yun Ye also had eight sisters, he felt balanced in his heart for a moment. People are not worried about scarcity but inequality. As long as
If there are people who are worse off than myself, I will feel much better.
"How about it, Yun Ye must be very touched, have you cried?" Li Chengqian has been moved by his selfless friendship several times. When he thinks that Yun Ye sees several carts of copper coins, he will be moved to tears, which makes him cry.
He only said a word of thanks to a meritorious subordinate, and the strong man cried like a baby in confinement. Yun Ye would be more wonderful if he received his great kindness!
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear a reply from the guard. When I looked up, I saw that the guard seemed to be suffering from constipation, his face was twitching together.
At a glance, he knew that Yun Ye would have nothing nice to say, but this guard was his confidant, so he didn't have to worry too much and asked directly: "What did that bastard say? Tell me completely."
The guard gritted his teeth and knelt down and said to Li Chengqian: "Yun Ye is a treasonous person. He said that because His Highness is a poor man, he accepted your share capital and asked you to pay dividends in two years."
"So arrogant? I thought he had been pinched seven inches by the queen and could no longer play tricks. I didn't expect him to answer like this. Is it a waste of time?"
No, this guy never does anything he's not sure of. He must have something to back up if he dares to say that. He's already dead, what else can I do?"
He was not the only one who thought this way. Li Er also asked his eldest grandson: "Mr. Guanyin, your answer to this difficult question is quite tricky. Is it possible that you can turn stone into gold?"
"Erlang, I feel that things are not that simple. I always felt that when he agreed to build the palace, his eyes were full of joking. It seemed that he really had a way to untie this knot. I just wanted to embarrass him and let him go.
He gave up building Xinghuafang himself, not because he was greedy for his few copper coins, but because he felt that the Ministry of Industry would be fooled by him. For the sake of the court's face, he had to do this. It is not a good thing for a person to be too outstanding.
I am worried that Yun Ye will be harmed."
Li Er smiled bitterly and said to his eldest grandson: "This kind of situation should not happen under the rule of Mingjun. The more talented people are, the more they will be reused. It's just that this world still cannot tolerate the most stunning and beautiful people."
The couple was silent for a while.
Li Er looked at the frowning queen and suddenly burst into laughter: "Guanyin, don't worry. No matter whether it is good or bad, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. As for the face of the officials of the Ministry of Industry, you
There is no need to think about it. Does it mean that there are not allowed to be smarter than them in this world? As long as it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, I don’t care about face. I ran to the Weihe River Bridge to negotiate with Xie Li. Several corpses from the Ministry of Industry were on it.
What kind of face does an official want? I hope Yun Ye wins, and I hope he can bring a breath of fresh wind to this sluggish palace."
