Chapter 1882 No matter what you do, go to the warm fragrance pavilion
Because the imperial court did not indicate that it would nationalize the gold mines, and there were even rumors that the gold mines operated on a first-come, first-served basis, a gold rush started.
This is naturally a good thing for the Han Dynasty to increase its control over Nanyang. It will also solve to a certain extent the situation that the southern population is still concentrated in Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places. It will promote population migration and ethnic integration within the Han Dynasty, which will naturally strengthen the Han Dynasty.
The imperial court exerted control over local areas, especially places that were originally foreign lands such as Nanyang.
Of course, the main vein of the gold mine must be completely under the control of the Han Dynasty. No matter how generous Li Xinchen is, it is impossible to hand over the gold mine to benefit the people. The Han Dynasty's current treasury is still counting on the gold mine to fill it. There is not much gold in the country of the Han Dynasty.
The lack of gold in China was confirmed by later generations. Although the largest Zhaoyuan gold mine is located in Qingzhou, Li Xingchen did not intend to command the Ministry of Industry to investigate.
Regardless of whether he can find it or not, he can't explain why he knows it. He can only wait for the Ministry of Industry's own exploration team to find something. Anyway, the current big man is not so nervous that the national economy may collapse at any time.
As for the remaining corners of the gold mine, Li Hongchen might as well give it to the people to encourage immigration.
The aroma of tea fills the air, and it is naturally the finest Fuzhou Wuyi Mountain tea. Fuzhou of the Han Dynasty included almost the entire Fujian in later generations, and Wuyi Mountain is also within Fuzhou.
Li Xingchen glanced at Chen Xuanhua: "It's said that you don't go to Nuanxiang Pavilion for nothing. Ning'er came over to show her courtesy. What's the matter?"
Nuanxiang Pavilion is backed by the harem, which is actually equivalent to leaving a back door for the harem to follow His Majesty. Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines of the harem are not allowed to enter the front palace for a long time, does Nuanxiang Pavilion belong to the harem or the front palace?
The scope is difficult to clarify, and naturally it is not within the scope of this ban.
But except when it's their turn to sleep, the concubines in the harem usually don't come over.
After all, he is so busy with his own affairs, who would be bored enough to come over to serve His Majesty? With Yu Chizhen following His Majesty and keeping an eye on His Majesty, and Cai Rong sitting in charge of the Imperial Hospital, nothing could happen to Li Xingchen. What really happened?
, Chen Xuanhua and Yang Miao could not help except being anxious.
Instead of relying on His Majesty's side every day, it is better to do your own things well, and His Majesty will naturally be happier.
For the officials in the Secretariat Supervisory Office, they would naturally report anything to the Royal Study Room. If any of the concubines were in the Nuanxiang Pavilion, they would be in an embarrassing situation, and they would not go to the Nuanxiang Pavilion to ask for an audience with His Majesty.
Therefore, not going to Nuanxiang Pavilion for any reason is also a joke in the front and back palaces.
Chen Xuanhua said with a smile: "I heard that the army will go to Hedong?"
Li Xingchen shook his head: "It may not be until the beginning of the next year or so at the earliest. We need to see how the war situation changes."
After a pause, he felt a little strange: "Why do you ask this?"
Since when did this girl become interested in fighting?
Chen Xuanhua said seriously: "Hedong, Jizhou and other places are mountainous, and there are many good medicines in the mountains. However, the trade of these medicinal materials is basically monopolized by Zhou merchants. As a result, pharmacies and hospitals across Henan often need to purchase transshipment medicinal materials from the south. Therefore,
·······”
Li Xingchen smiled, he really didn't go to Nuanxiang Pavilion for anything.
The merchants in Jizhou and Hedong are not good people, and Li Xingchen certainly knows that. There are famous Zhongshan merchants in Jizhou, and although Hedong merchants are not famous now, in later generations, a group of people like Shanxi merchants, who are the richest in the world, were born. In the final analysis, it is still
Because merchants in these places have room for development both south and north, doing business with smart southerners in the south and wolves in the grasslands in the north, they naturally have the ability to talk to people and tell lies to ghosts.
Doing business is the same as treating a disease. Prescribing the right medicine will naturally "cure the disease." These merchants are very smart about what methods and attitudes they use towards people in certain places. Even merchants from the southern Han Dynasty and Bashu merchants want to outdo them.
The best thing to do is rely on the quality of the goods you have on hand.
In addition, as Chen Xuanhua said, the mountains and rivers in Hedong are surrounded by mountains such as Taihang and Zhongtiao. The output of medicinal materials in the mountains is already abundant. It is reasonable for these merchants to monopolize the medicinal material trade in the north by relying on the geographical location. Not to mention everyone
They are still in a hostile state, so it is natural for them to make things difficult for the big man, otherwise Yu Wenxian will cause trouble for them.
"Then how can I help you?" Li Xingchen rubbed Chen Xuanhua's little head.
When it comes to the stable development of Dahan Pharmacy and Hospital, Li Xingchen naturally cannot sit idly by. Even if Chen Xuanhua doesn't show his attentiveness, Li Xingchen will take care of it.
Rolling his eyes, Chen Xuanhua said with a smile: "Of course it is best to wait until the big man takes over Hedong and return all these businesses to the royal pharmacy. By then, this will be my brother-in-law's business. How will the price of medicines and even the entire market be?
The pricing is all under the control of my brother-in-law, who dares to say anything."
Li Xingchen rolled his eyes, you are pretending to be powerful.
Although it is my business in name, but I have so many things to deal with every day, how can I have free time to take care of this kind of thing? In the end, isn't it your business, Chen Xuanhua? It's just under the banner of the royal family, naturally no one dares to talk to you
Rob.
Chen Xuanhua looked at Li Xinchen eagerly, but Li Xinchen did not completely let her get what she wanted: "I believe you about the merchants in Hedong and Jizhou raising the price of medicine. But they are enemies now after all, and they will become ordinary people in the future, if they are willing
As obedient citizens of the Han Dynasty, I naturally cannot deprive them of their jobs. The reason why the market is called a market cannot be controlled by one person. If the pharmacy controls the price of medicine, it may be cheaper for people who buy medicine, but
Will drug farmers and drug dealers be unable to survive because drug prices are too cheap?”
After a pause, Li Xingchen said with emotion: "In other words, you think that by lowering the price of medicines, the pharmacy may not make much profit, but it can benefit more people, but will the drug dealers also lower the purchase price of medicinal materials? In the end
It is not the drug dealers who suffer, but the ordinary people who grow and collect herbs."
Chen Xuanhua pouted, a little unhappy.
So what should we do?
Li Xingchen pinched her face: "So I can't help you beat these drug dealers to death with a stick, but I can give you a channel to talk to them. With my support behind them, they naturally won't dare to bully you.
How do you control the market price at that time so that everyone can profit from it, instead of some people profiting while others face life and death? This requires you to think carefully and discuss with them about the price.
High or low is not decided by one person, but by the market and can meet the needs of everyone."
Chen Xuanhua was thoughtful, and after a long time, he solemnly said: "What your Majesty said is reasonable. I was just reckless, and I ask your Majesty to forgive me."
"Serving the country and the people, what's the crime?" Li Xingchen smiled.
