Chapter 366 Robbery, Land Business in Chang'an City
Chapter 366: Banditry, land business in Chang'an City
Two letters and one edict were sent from Yecheng and Xudu to Guanzhong.
Seven hundred miles expedited.
The knight on horseback did not dare to stop for a moment. Even though he was tired, he also knew that this letter and this edict were of great importance.
…
Chang'an City…
After the war subsided, Yi Xiaotian rarely took a leisurely stroll in Chang'an City, mainly to see the racecourse in Chang'an City. After all, Brother Hao had promised to give him many good horses from Guanzhong every year.
This time I inspected it in advance and thought about the selling price...
Of course, Yi Xiaotian also asked about the land in Guanzhong. Although all the land in Chang'an City is now in Cao Cao's hands, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to buy or sell...
However, considering the future appreciation space of these lands, Yi Xiaotian decided to fight for it. Besides, there was still something to hide from his brother.
This secretive brother has great hands and eyes, and he can't protect everything... He can really help Yi Xiaotian plan some land, then develop it, make profits, and count the money.
Oops...it's so satisfying to think about it.
But at this time.
"Master Yi, Master Yi..."
I heard a deep, thick voice coming from afar, and it seemed a little urgent...
Who? Who? Yi Xiaotian turned around and saw that it was Zhong Yao.
Seeing this person, Yi Xiaotian was slightly startled. Now, he had just repelled the Yuan family's rebellion.
During this period of time, shouldn't Governor Zhong Yao have a detailed discussion with Ma Teng on how to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong and how to open up the battlefield in Guanxi? How come he still has time to look for himself at this time?
"Prefect Zhong, why are you so restless this early in the morning?" Yi Xiaotian looked at Zhong Yao taking a long breath, looking out of breath, and asked curiously.
"Oh...ahem..."
After coughing several times in succession, Zhong Yao waved his hand. "Yes... I just received a letter from Duke Cao!"
Ahem... Halfway through his words, Zhong Yao coughed a few more times, as if his old bones were a bit overwhelmed by the sprint.
"Prefect Zhong, if you speak slowly, I won't be able to run away. There's no need to be in such a hurry... If you want me to be promoted to a higher position or something like that, then just decline it for me. I, Yi Xiaotian, have no intention of going to the temple."
Yi Xiaotian first warned him... But don't let Zhong Yao report his merits. According to Cao Cao's character of being thirsty for talents and attaching great importance to talents, he would not be able to live in peace in the future.
"No, no, no..." Zhong Yao waved his hand quickly. "This has nothing to do with being promoted to an official position. It is a government order, saying that I will sell Chang'an City and the nearby land..."
Hmm... As soon as these words came out, Yi Xiaotian perked up. "What? Prefect Zhong said that Cao Cao wants to sell the land in Chang'an City? Is it the land in these wastelands in Guanzhong?"
"Yes! No!"
Zhong Yao's wisp of beard made him appear mysterious, and he smiled slightly.
"Gong Cao was worried that the city of Chang'an in Guanzhong would not be able to develop. He was too focused on the war in Hebei and did not bother to cultivate the city of Chang'an. In this way, if Guanzhong wants to prosper, wouldn't it?
It's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? So... Cao Sikong discussed with all his advisers and decided to sell the land in Guanzhong and let wealthy merchants reclaim and develop it. In this way, if the business is done well, the merchants will benefit and the people will have a livelihood.
Aren’t the taxes in this pass increased a lot?”
Zhong Yao spoke in detail...
In fact, there are not so many details in Cao Cao's bamboo slips, but there is only one sentence - find a way to sell the land in Chang'an City to Yi Xiaotian cheaply.
In addition to that... I would also like to add that it must not be revealed that this was Cao Cao’s intention!
When Zhong Yao saw this letter, he was also drunk.
It's true that the leader's words can cause his subordinates to lose their legs... Zhong Yao racked his brains, he wanted to cry, so he just gave it away, but he had to make up a lot of reasonable reasons, which was simply - Lan Shou, Shiitake Mushroom.
…
"That's it..." Yi Xiaotian rolled his eyes. "Master Zhong came to look for me, which means..."
Yi Xiaotian asked tentatively...
"Haha..." Zhong Yao said with another wisp of beard. "I remember, before the war, Master Yi made a bet with me. The bet was the land in Chang'an City... Now it happens that Cao Sikong is about to sell it, so naturally I will be the first to do so.
What comes to mind is Mr. Yi!"
"What about the price?"
Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes. He felt that everything he had done had been rewarded, and he was more keenly aware that this was a business opportunity.
The reason why Chang'an City is not prosperous now is because of the continuous wars in the Guanzhong area and the countless warlord forces. Many of them are supported by the Yuan family, and some are supported by Cao Cao. With street fighting every day for three days, it is no wonder that business can prosper.
!
but…
Now, the Yuan family has completely withdrawn from the battlefield in Kansai. Cao Cao and Ma Teng have formed an alliance. Ma Teng is about to rush to Xudu to be his guard, his general Fubo...
In this place in Guanzhong, with Zhong Yao's overall view and Ma Chao's superb fighting power, it is only a matter of time before all these warlords, big and small, are eliminated.
According to historical records, around the ninth year of Jian'an, that is, in another two years, the situation in Guanzhong will be stable, and people will move back in large numbers. By then, the household registration in Chang'an City will show a skyrocketing trend.
If... in the past two years, Yi Xiaotian purchased a large amount of land in Guanzhong and vigorously developed the business of Chang'an City, then in the future, Chang'an City will be an endless cornucopia!
When he thought of this, Yi Xiaotian's eyes lit up...
Of course, a good thing must be a good thing, but the price of the land in Chang'an may not be low...
In short, with Cao Cao's wisdom, this account can still be settled!
Just when I thought of this, Zhong Yao's voice came again. "Master Yi, let's hold hands!"
Holding hands…
This is an inherent method for merchants to negotiate prices. The ancients were reserved. For large-scale transactions, face-to-face bargaining always felt degrading and polite, so they invented the "holding hands" bargaining method.
The two of them covered their sleeves, listed the prices respectively, and then talked with each other for a while, even if they were bargaining, and finally agreed on a price to seal the deal!
When in a country, do as the Romans do, Yi Xiaotian has long been familiar with this.
"Come on... Prefect Zhong, I didn't expect that you are not only a calligrapher but also very worldly... Now you are also proficient in the most extraordinary business methods!"
As he spoke, Yi Xiaotian stretched out his hand.
The two of them wore long sleeves, and bargaining began in their sleeves...
It's okay if you don't bargain, but once you start bargaining, Yi Xiaotian is immediately confused.
Speaking of which, he was not shabby, and directly gave a price that was considered the market price. After all, he was not short of money, so he couldn't always be petty!
I never thought that Zhong Yao was 70% cheaper than the market price!
This...this...this...this Lord Zhong Yao doesn't play by the rules.
Yi Xiaotian couldn't bear to just conclude the deal like this. To him, this was simply robbery. The key point was... this robbery made you feel at ease. It was given to you by someone else. You can't do it if you don't rob it!
When the time came, Yi Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed.
"Prefect Zhong? This price...are you...are you serious?" Yi Xiaotian asked with a frown.
If he hadn't noticed Zhong Yao's sophisticated skills, he would have really thought that Zhong Yao was a novice in the shopping mall, or a tease invited by the monkey?
"Haha..." Zhong Yao put one hand in his cuffs and stroked his beard with the other hand. "I have always been serious. This number is what I mean, and what Cao Sikong means! Mr. Yi, you have to know that what Cao Sikong saw
It is the future prosperity of Chang'an City and the tax revenue of Chang'an City!"
Huo…
After doing this business, Yi Xiaotian was also drunk.
You, Zhong Yao, want to sell land in Chang'an City for such a cheap coin. How dare you, and you have to involve Cao Cao!
Haha...Yi Xiaotian said "haha".
That's all, that's all, since you sincerely want to be slaughtered, then I will kill you with great mercy.
Suddenly, Yi Xiaotian had a feeling, why are there fat sheep everywhere in life? Sure enough, the leeks cropped up again and again, and soon they grew up!
Thoughts on this…
Yi Xiaotian simply changed his mind and held hands with Zhong Yao. This "robbery" business of land in Chang'an City was considered a deal!
call…
Zhong Yao also had a big stone in his heart. Damn it, you have to give a piece of land in such a nonchalant and logical manner. It’s so... so... so... so difficult!
