Chapter 1106 The Governor of Luozhou Loves Talents
Chapter 1106 The governor of Luozhou loves talents, and the governor gives policies
Li Tai nodded and said, "Well, His Majesty asked me to be responsible for welcoming them, so they are staying in the post house now."
"Oh! But they are guests now, so we should follow the polite rules and let the concierge prepare them tomorrow morning."
Yang Gongren said.
"Well, I think so too."
Li Tai said with a smile.
Early the next morning.
Li Tai brought all the civil and military officials from Luoyang City to Muchuan's residence.
Yang Gongren and others stood up after Muchuan and the others came out, and then said to Muchuan with a smile: "Master Mu, I have admired you for a long time, and today I saw you have truly lived up to your reputation. You are truly a young hero."
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Muchuan said humbly.
Yang Gongren added: "Let me introduce these generals to Master Mu."
As Yang Gongren spoke, he introduced the generals behind him.
"These are our generals in the north, General Zhang Liao and Zhang, General Liu Yulong and Lord Liu, General Du Ji and Du, General Du Ji and Du, General Wei Yan and General Xue Wanche, and this one is
The new number one scholar, Suweisu, is the best!"
"Muchuan pays homage to the generals."
Muchuan hurriedly raised his hands to several people and said.
"Hello, Mr. Mu!"
Everyone smiled and returned the greeting.
"Mu Chuan, these are the pillars of our Tang Dynasty, and they are all outstanding generals of our Tang Dynasty. You must get to know them well."
Yang Gongren continued.
"Yes sir!"
Muchuan nodded.
Yang Gongren was the governor of Luozhou and the top military and political leader of Luoyang.
He was also a second-grade official in the Tang Dynasty, on the same level as Muchuan now.
He took the initiative to visit Muchuan, which was enough to give Muchuan face.
Next, Yang Gongren took everyone to the most luxurious restaurant in Luoyang City.
Then we had lunch and drank tea. In the afternoon, we treated them to visit Luoyang City and introduced some of Luoyang’s customs.
"Mu Chuan, don't underestimate this Luoyang, this Luoyang is the granary of the entire Guanzhong.
Look at the grain output of Luoyang City. Apart from Chang'an, there are probably not many cities in the world that can match it."
Yang Gongren said.
Muchuan nodded, that was indeed the case.
The price of food in Luoyang is relatively cheap and the quality of food is also very good.
It is more cost-effective to buy grain in Luoyang.
Yang Gongren pointed to the Yellow River in the distance outside the restaurant.
"Mu Chuan, look at this river, it is the Yellow River of our Tang Dynasty. The Yellow River runs from east to west and goes straight into the sky.
The Yellow River in the Tang Dynasty and the Bohai Sea on the coast of the East China Sea are connected together.
There are large areas of unowned salt fields on the coast of the Bohai Sea, so our salt merchants in Luoyang have made huge wealth."
Yang Gongren continued.
"Oh, is it transported by waterway?"
Muchuan asked doubtfully.
Yang Gongren said with a smile: "Likewise, Luoyang's food mainly relies on transportation, and the food here is concentrated in the Luoyang granary.
Every half month or half a year, grain will be transported to various states, counties and counties across the country for sale, so the sales volume of grain is amazing, even exceeding that of Chang'an!"
"so smart!"
Muchuan was shocked when he heard this.
"Yes, and relying on the Yellow River shipping, our business is more developed than Chang'an!"
Yang Gongren said with a smile.
Muchuan also smiled.
Luoyang is indeed very developed. Just like the Luoyang Restaurant where they are now, it is the largest restaurant in the entire Tang Dynasty.
This is also the most prosperous area in Luoyang.
"Mu Chuan, I heard that you plan to build a college and open a factory in Youzhou City. Is this true?"
Yang Gongren suddenly asked.
"Yes! This is His Majesty's will, and he also sent five thousand soldiers to help me build it. I want to test it first.
After all, Youzhou is too far away from Chang'an, so you have to manage many things by yourself!"
Muchuan nodded and said.
Yang Gongren said: "Since you have this determination, I will definitely help you.
Don't worry, you saw it when you came here. Many refugees from Youzhou prove that the people there are not living well. And although Luoyang is far from Youzhou, it is still very close. If you need it, we will help.
.”
"Thank you very much!"
Muchuan said excitedly.
"Haha, Muchuan, we are all officials of the Tang Dynasty, so I won't talk nonsense.
As for me, I am here to give you something."
Yang Gongren said.
Muchuan looked at Yang Gongren in confusion.
"Look at these."
Yang Gongren said and handed Muchuan a stack of paper.
Muchuan read it carefully after taking it.
It turned out that this was a contract, which listed many terms, including requesting Muchuan to establish a university in Luoyang and sharing the profits of the Salt and Iron Factory.
After Muchuan read it, his face became serious. He didn't know how to evaluate Yang Gongren's actions.
This condition can be said to be generous, and many things provide policy preferences for investing in Luoyang.
But this matter involves too much.
If he builds universities, factories and other facilities in Luoyang without Li Shimin's consent, it will inevitably arouse unnecessary suspicion.
"Master Yang, please allow me to think about it. This matter is really too big."
Muchuan said.
"Yes, we are always waiting for your reply!"
Yang Gongren said.
In fact, Yang Gongren just reminded Muchuan that what to do depends on Muchuan's own choice. After all, Muchuan has Li Shimin's support behind him, and Yang Gongren cannot interfere too much.
"Mr. Yang, you're welcome."
Muchuan said with a slight smile.
"There will be a banquet for Mr. Mu at the Luozhou Governor's Mansion in the evening."
Yang Gongren smiled.
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Yang and the generals."
Muchuan said.
"Congratulations, sir!"
"Master Mu, say goodbye!"
After Yang Gongren and the generals left, Muchuan sat down and fell into deep thought.
“It’s a bit tricky to stay in Luoyang this time.”
Muchuan sighed.
It seems that these officials in Luoyang are quite forward-looking and want to use Muchuan's ability to better build the city of Luoyang.
What Yang Gongren meant this time was to allow Muchuan to stay in Luoyang and establish a university, and then make the university a base for him to cultivate talents in Luoyang, so that he would have more opportunities to control the lifeblood of the Eastern Capital of the Tang Empire.
And Muchuan also understood that this was what Prince Li Tai meant.
Li Tai hopes to use his own ability to take a bite of the fat in Luoyang.
"Well, I'd better discuss this matter with Li Shimin. After all, Luoyang is the territory of the Li Tang family, and I'm still an outsider. It's a bit inappropriate to meddle rashly."
Muchuan thought for a moment and thought it would be better to talk to Li Shimin.
Not long after Yang Gongren left, a group of people quickly came to Luoyang Restaurant.
"Master Mu, hello! I am Xu Shu, the governor of Luoyang."
Xu Shu said with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Xu.
Please take a seat!”
Muchuan said politely.
"Master Mu, on behalf of all the literati in Luoyang, I congratulate you on becoming one of the greatest scholars in the Tang Dynasty."
