He Tanchong received Kang Kejing's order and immediately went to Huamen Louchang Street to buy Tang Dynasty newspapers. However, after looking around, he realized that there were not many newspapers left.
First, because the story "Nie Yinniang" is indeed wonderful. The protagonist is a heroic woman, and there are many prostitutes in Huamen Tower. They usually like prostitutes the most, so they bought one as a souvenir; second, in the Tang Dynasty, it was open to the people.
There were very few newspapers in the palace. The people in the city saw that there were many strange things in the newspapers. They found them interesting and bought them one after another and circulated them.
He Tanchong spent a lot of effort and found many people to search, and then bought more than 200 copies of Datang newspapers.
Returning to the theater out of breath, He Tanchong told Kang Kejing about the matter.
While drinking, the latter asked: "Are you wondering why I do this?"
He Tanchong nodded.
Kang Kejing said: "All the mutual market records in the Northern Tang Dynasty are stored in the government's mutual market supervision. It is almost impossible for ordinary merchants to check them. Now that there is a chance to get them, they must do it before other merchants see it.
, to win them all, this is one of the reasons.”
"The second reason is that the original territory of the Tang Dynasty is now divided into three parts, namely the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Yan Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty. The markets in the three places are separated from each other and are not under the unified jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households as before. Therefore, a certain
The market prices of some commodities will fluctuate abnormally in different locations."
He Tanchong understood somewhat: "Young master, after obtaining the price of goods in the Northern Tang Dynasty, you want to make a profit by reselling the goods by taking advantage of the price difference between the goods in the three places?"
Kang Kejing nodded and said: "The Prime Minister gave us Nu Ya's errand. We can use the road guide to travel between Northern Tang and Yan Kingdom unimpeded. This gives us an opportunity to sell goods. Now plus the market of Datang Wenbao
According to the price, in the future, you can resell the goods while doing Nuya's business, and you will definitely make a huge profit from this trip."
He Tanchong heard this and said, "Young Master, I admire your clever plan!"
The sale of Tang Dynasty newspapers set off a wave of excitement in Liangzhou city.
However, more people only focus on the storybook "Nie Yinniang", and few people are aware of the business opportunities and political trends hidden in it.
By the time this newspaper is fully functional, it will be after the new year.
Of course, this is a later topic, so let’s not mention it for now.
After helping the Xuanwen Museum get on the right track, Zhou Jun began to focus on government affairs.
On this day, a group of guests from Anxi came to the meeting hall of Shangshu Province.
After Guo Ziyi and Kong You defeated the Tubo army, they arrived at the Anxi Protectorate.
After completing the handover work, Feng Changqing relieved himself of the heavy responsibilities of Deputy Envoy of Anxi Jiedu and Beiting Jiedu and rushed to Liangzhou City to report his duties to Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun looked at Feng Changqing in the hall, came to the latter's side with a smile, and asked: "Is Chang Qing okay? How is Anxi?"
Feng Changqing bowed and replied: "Chang Qing has lived up to the trust of the Prime Minister. Everything in Anxi is going well now. The population of the four towns has exceeded one million, workshops are spread all over the city, farmland stretches as far as the eye can see, and caravans are coming and going..."
Having said this, Feng Changqing took out a Kanlu from his arms: "Prime Minister, this is the Kanlu of Anxi's work report."
Zhou Jun stopped Feng Changqing and said, "There is no rush in reporting your work. I am transferring you back to Liangzhou this time. Do you know why?"
Feng Changqing looked at Zhou Jun, thought for a moment, and replied: "Chang Qing dares to speculate that the Prime Minister hopes to reorganize Hebei, fight the rebels, and regain the two capitals?"
Zhou Jun: "Hebei, especially Fanyang and other places, have suffered greatly from the Anxi thieves. Both the people and the soldiers no longer care about the Tang Dynasty, so I ordered them to be moved to Anxi. At present, Hebei is experiencing
After several years of war, with ten houses and nine empty houses, the orders I gave to Li Guangbi and Pugu Huai'en were to defend, not to attack."
Feng Changqing was a little confused: "Then the Prime Minister plans to...?"
Zhou Jun has observed over the years that among the talents under his command, some are good at charging and fighting, such as Li Siye; some are good at leading troops in battles, such as Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi; some are good at making suggestions, such as Kong You; some are good at developing the economy, such as Wu Qi and Cen Shen
; There are people who are suitable for handling government affairs, such as Gao Shi, Liu Zai and others.
But when it comes to comprehensive talents who are truly behind the scenes, able to coordinate resources from multiple aspects, and have made achievements in the economy, military, and people's livelihood.
After some observation, Zhou Jun only saw two people.
One of them is Hua Yue, and the other is Feng Changqing in front of me.
In the early years, Huayue was responsible for overseeing the development of Bachuan Villa. When Zhou Jun left Anxi, she coordinated many affairs in Yanqi Town. She also led troops into battle several times and returned victorious. Although she is a woman, she is also a foreigner.
, but his talent in comprehensive management is indeed impeccable.
As for Feng Changqing, when Zhou Jun read about this person in history books, the events he mostly mentioned were the Battle of Dabolu and the defeat at Hulao Pass.
However, few people mention that after the defeat of the Dalos in history, Gao Xianzhi was transferred to Chang'an. The situation of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi was, to say the least, dangerous. Surrounded by enemies, there were insufficient troops, lack of supplies, and taxes.
Under the premise of interruption, Feng Changqing was able to withstand the pressure, while dealing with diplomacy, people's livelihood and economy, while developing the military, stabilizing people's hearts, and finally defeated Tibet, captured Dabolu, and consolidated Datang's control over the entire Anxi.
What an incredible achievement.
Therefore, when the history books commented on the civil and military heroes of the Tang Dynasty, Feng Changqing's overall management and rear management capabilities were greatly ignored. This has to be said to be a pity.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jun said to Feng Changqing: "After transferring you to Liangzhou, I plan to move you to be the minister's right servant, and then serve as the military governor of Shuofang."
Feng Changqing was stunned when he heard this, and advised Zhou Jun: "Prime Minister, You Pushe is the deputy chief of the Shangshu Province, and he is almost in the same position. Chang Qing has just arrived. If he takes the post, he will be promoted too quickly, which may cause controversy between the DPRK and China.
."
Zhou Jun: "The current development of Anxi has made Chang Qing's talents obvious to all, so what is there to criticize? After you entered Shangshu Province, you took charge of the nine temples, five supervisors and local administration, which is exactly what you are good at."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Zhou Jun had already made up his mind, Feng Changqing stopped persuading him. After bowing his head and thanking him, he began to introduce the people who came with him.
This time, many people came to Liangzhou with Feng Changqing.
Among them, a large number of craftsmen came from the Jianghong Academy in Qiuci Town. These people learned skills for several years under the guidance of Master Mao Shun, and worked in the Anxi Arsenal for a long time. Now they finally came to Liangzhou City to provide services to the imperial court.
dispatch.
The leader of these craftsmen is named Zhu Yang. He is the young man who caused the Good and Bad Order case in Yanqi Town and invented the quartz fireproof brick.
Zhou Jun looked at Zhu Yang who was kneeling in front of him and asked: "I heard that you have improved the iron-making blast furnace, so that the impurities in the molten iron have now been reduced to less than 10%?"
As a craftsman, when Zhu Yang met Zhou Jun for the first time, his legs were trembling and he felt a little awkward when he spoke: "I don't dare to ask for credit... but these are all ideas that come to me..."
Zhou Jun nodded: "Then when you come to Liangzhou this time, do you know what your mission is?"
Zhu Yang calmed down and said: "Cangzhou, Hebei Province is going to rebuild its navy. The common people and a group of Anxi craftsmen are bringing artillery and blueprints to help build the ship."
Zhou Jun: "The chief officer in charge of the reconstruction of the navy is named Du Huan, who is also your superior officer. He has sailed thousands of miles across the sea and traveled half of the world. You must help him and build the best navy."
battleship."
Zhu Yang kowtowed and quickly said yes.
After meeting Zhu Yang and other craftsmen, Feng Changqing led the Anxi traveler in next, but it was beyond Zhou Jun's expectations.
This man was wearing the robe of a big food priest and a white scarf on his head, and his face was full of vicissitudes of life.
Zhou Jun looked at the old man in front of him and called out in surprise: "Mu Sheikh?"
