This is a large manor, with rockeries, flowing water, and lush greenery.
Only after a few people enter the hospital can one go deep into it.
At this time, two people were sitting in a loft.
A young man and an old man with white hair.
The young man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a humble face, but his eyes were full of pride. This man was none other than the third prince Xie Ling, who had not been seen for a long time.
The old man opposite was dressed in an elegant and noble manner. What he was wearing was a purple and gold python robe! If others saw it, they would be shocked.
The purple and gold python robe had a very high status in the Longyan Dynasty, but this person obviously did not wear the jade ornaments that the python robe should have. In other words, he was not a real official.
So.
There is only one possibility.
He is an imperial businessman!
Xie Ling was also quite respectful to this person, because he knew that the old man in front of him was none other than the richest man in Jiangnan and the leader of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Yang Xiao!
Today, most of the taxes of the Longyan Dynasty come from the Jiangnan area. This is a historical trend and a historical necessity. The land of plenty is no joke. In addition, almost all the silk cloth of the Longyan Dynasty comes from
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, cloth itself was a hard currency in ancient times, and even in a certain era, it could be used as currency.
This also established the extremely high status of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in the Longyan Dynasty.
However......
Now, with the rise of Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce, at first, it did not threaten the status of Longyan's first chamber of commerce and Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. But as time went by, they also felt the pressure from Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce - such as that
Fine wines, perfumes, and soaps began to be sold all over the country, which had an impact on their spice business.
This pressure is getting bigger and bigger.
At first, under Xie Ling's order, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce participated in a short-selling operation of Yinzhou coins. However, due to the subsequent fire in Jiangzhou, 10 million taels of silver were lost.
Yang Xiao couldn't help it anymore and finally came to Liangzhou in person.
"Mr. Yang, the ambition of the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce is clearly revealed. If we don't cooperate this time, Liu Zhizhou and even Long Yan will not be able to tolerate him."
Xie Ling drank a cup of tea and said calmly.
Yang Xiao smiled.
He knew the purpose of these three princes coming to Liangzhou from Beijing without stopping.
This pension insurance system in Liangzhou has made everyone restless.
but......
Just because you are Xie Ling, you want me to spend all my wealth to compete with Silver Beach City? Yang Xiao is not stupid, he chuckled: "I don't understand, what your Highness means...Come on, old man
Liangzhou, but I came here with a learning mentality..."
Xie Ling snorted coldly in his heart, knowing that he was an old fox in front of him, the kind that would not let go of a hawk until it saw a rabbit.
study?
Learn from your hammer!
A flash of light flashed in his eyes: "Mr. Yang, we are wise people and don't speak secretly. Whatever pension system he comes up with this time is an opportunity for us to take advantage of!"
Yang Xiao said calmly: "How to say?"
Xie Ling said with a sinister look on his face: "The pension system will definitely cause social unrest in Liangzhou. If the food from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce takes a few days to arrive at this time, what does Mr. Yang think will happen?"
Yang Xiao was shocked, and his heart was horrified.
this......
It’s so cruel!
He has been in Liangzhou for such a long time, and he has already discovered what Liangzhou lacks most? Gold and silver! But, what Liangzhou lacks most? Food!
Because the land in Liangzhou is barren and the climate is harsh, these are force majeure objective conditions. No matter how clever Liu Zhizhou is, he can come up with sweet potatoes, but he still cannot solve Liangzhou's increasing demand for food. With the increase of Liangzhou's industrial and commercial
, became more and more developed, and a large number of talents attracted by the imperial examination settled in Liangzhou.
Liangzhou's shortcomings in agriculture and animal husbandry have been highlighted.
You can say that.
Although Liangzhou today is very wealthy, a large amount of food must be brought into Liangzhou from all over the country every day in order to ensure the stability of this society.
The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is the largest supplier of food.
In this case, what will happen if there is no food?
Social unrest!
Yinzhou coins depreciated massively!
inflation!
Food prices have increased, but what about other things?
They don’t understand trade surplus, deficit and the like. They only know that just when a pension insurance system is released and the entire Liangzhou society is in turmoil, taking their life away will definitely give Liangzhou a headache.
