Chapter 193 The foundation of a strong peace

Zhang Siniang bit her red lip and rushed into the backyard.

"Yi Niang!"

Yi Niang was sifting beans under the eaves with a dustpan.Raise the front of the dustpan and let the beans make a roundabout leap in the air. During this process, the lighter debris inside will fly out.

"I'll do it." Zhang Siniang volunteered to take the dustpan, and imitated Yiniang and began to sieve.

The first force was light, and the beans were bumped in the dustpan, which was useless.

The second effort was good, but the beans flew forward instead of flying back when thrown out.

Yiniang gently pushed Zhang Siniang, Zhang Siniang took half a step forward, the dustpan in her hand just caught the beans that were about to fall.

The chickens raised their heads and waited for a long time, but when no food came down, they cooed resentfully.

Zhang Siniang blushed, "Yiniang, I will study hard in the future."

Yiniang said angrily, "You won't need to do these things in the future."

Zhang Siniang squatted beside her, "My elder brother took care of me and didn't do these jobs for me. At that time, there was no food at home."

She squatted there in a daze, Yi Niang picked up the pebbles from the beans, and said casually, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Siniang looked down at the chasm, "Yiniang, Mr. Wang saw my fierceness."

Yi Niang hummed.

"Yiniang, I'm wearing your clothes."

"gave it to you."

"It's a little small."

Yiniang glanced at her fierceness, "Are you blowing your breath?"

Zhang Siniang shook her head, "I don't breathe."

"Then why is it so big?"

Zhang Siniang slipped in from the waist with her backhand, untied something, and pulled a cloth belt out.

"Yiniang, I learned this."

"what?"

"Squeeze!"

"Squeeze what?"

"Squeeze up!"

"Oh, after a long time of trouble, it turned out that it was squeezed out."

"Yiniang, Mr. Lang lost his mind for a while."

"There is progress."

"Yiniang, do you think I should keep the door open for Mr. Lang at night?"

Yiniang glanced at her, "Do you think that if Lang Jun asks you to sleep in bed, will you agree?"

"I can!"

"Since the matter can be resolved by opening your mouth, why did Lang Jun seek you secretly?"

Yi Niang lowered her head.

"Say."

"When they taught me before, they said that those noble people like novel ways to play. It's not good to be serious. It's fun to be like stealing people. It's more fun if you can't steal."

Yi Niang picked up the dustpan and shook it, "They are just boring people, talking boring things."

Zhang Siniang leaned against her, "Yiniang, do you think I should keep the door?"

"Need not."

"Why? Isn't it good to be sneaky?"

"Sneaky is because those men don't have the skills of men, so they just want to find some means to stimulate themselves, to show off their glory. Do you think your husband can use it?" Yiniang has seen many methods in the palace back then. What is sneaky? Yes, it would be better for the false emperor to snatch his daughter-in-law directly, which is more exciting than anything else.

Yiniang thought for a long time.

"What did Mr. Lang say last time...every day when you wake up, you are full of vitality, Yi Niang, what do you mean by that?"

"It means it's useless."

Yang Xuan came in and saw Zhang Siniang's dejected expression, and Yiniang's disgusted expression.

"Yiniang, let's make some mutton soup later."

"Don't you think it's too hot?" Yiniang's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Langjun is supposed to be young and strong, and he would get feverish after eating mutton... Could it be that he is really vain?
Yang Xuan didn't know that he had some kidney deficiency in the eyes of the two women, "This time I went to the grassland to eat dry food and chewed it, so I got a headache, so I can make it soft and comfortable."

It's okay, it's okay, Yiniang smiled and said, "Okay."

Thinking of the deliciousness of eating pancakes soaked in mutton soup, Yang Xuan salivated after eating dry pancakes for several days.

With a whoosh, Zhang Siniang appeared in front of him, and Yang Xuan subconsciously assumed a defensive posture.

"Lang Jun, do you want to take a bath?" Zhang Siniang smiled slightly.

The woman who taught her back then said that this posture can best reveal the gap between women.

what!
Yang Xuan was a little surprised, thinking how the gap has shrunk so much?
"Of course I have to wash and prepare clothes."

"Yes!"

Lang Jun's eyes just glanced over, not as lingering as before.

Well, the reluctance to give up was made up by Zhang Siniang on her own.

Yang Xuan entered the bathroom, and asked casually, "Why did the woman's fierceness suddenly shrink so much?"

Suzaku's ambiguous voice came from beside his ear, "Young man, you don't understand now. A woman's fierceness is like water in a sponge, there will always be some squeeze."

Take a shower and put on new clothes.

Cao Ying and others also came.

Li Han followed behind and found that everyone disliked him a little.

He smiled and moved closer to the old thief, but the old thief ignored him.He leaned closer to Wang Lao Er again, and said with a smile, "Second Brother, I know a good way to make money."

Wang Lao Er likes to earn money and eat meat, and Li Han feels that he can easily win him over.

Wang Laoer looked at him with a puzzled expression on his face, "I can make money by myself."

Li Han smiled and said, "How do you make money?"

"Sell heads."

Li Han: "..."

Wang Laoer stretched out a finger, thought it was wrong, and opened his hands, "Ten coins per head."

This is a murderous demon... Li Han coughed dryly, "It's too little. As far as I know, there is [-] yuan for killing an enemy in Southern Xinjiang."

"A lot."

"Why? Could it be to coax you?"

"Didn't coax me."

"Then how do you know it's not enough?"

Wang Laoer looked confident, "Shijun will hide when he hears me coming."

"Why?"

"Say no money."

"And said the sun is so beautiful."

"Sometimes I say I want to take a shit."

"Once he said that his concubine was sick, but Mr. Lang said he had no concubine."

Li Han was confused, "Why is he hiding from you?"

"Lang Jun said that it was the envoy's own money, and I took too much."

"How much did you take?"

"One time I took more than 100 heads, and another time I took more than 80..."

Li Han felt a cold current rushing up and down his back, "You killed it?"

"What do you think?"

"From here to Lin'an, don't those people's heads stink?"

"No! I pickled it with salt and dragged it all the way. After a while in the sun, it still smells delicious, similar to the taste of pig head meat."

Drag it all the way... the sun is shining.

Thinking about that scene, Li Han got up and quietly went to Cao Ying's side.

Even such a silly second child can't handle it... Cao Ying glanced at him, feeling a little contemptuous in her heart.

"After the extermination of the clan, many people in the Jibo tribe have a good impression of Taiping." Yang Xuan introduced the situation, "Taiping's military strength is just like this. If you want to compete with the Vasie tribe, you have to use both soft and hard tactics."

Cao Ying nodded, "After this time, merchants will regard Taiping as a sacred place in their hearts, but the supply of goods in Taiping is still too small. Besides, sir, should we also do some business by ourselves? After all, those furs are quite good. Cheap."

"How do you want to do it?"

"The old man thinks, Taiping will collect all those furs first, and then sell them to those Datang merchants, and they will transfer them back to Datang for sale, so that we can make money just by changing hands."

"Good idea." The old thief praised: "It really is a brain trust."

Being a second-hand dealer is the most worry-free. Production has nothing to do with me, and sales have nothing to do with me. I just hoard goods.

"Old Cao."

"exist."

"You have a good idea."

"But you forgot one thing."

"Lang Jun, please give me instructions."

"What are we? We are the government. What are the responsibilities of the government? Govern, manage, supervise, but don't get involved."

"Lang Jun, all levels of government in the Tang Dynasty are lending money."

"I know this."

Governments at all levels in the Tang Dynasty were short of funds, so they found some wealthy people in the local area and asked them to lend money.These people are called money heads.The interest earned from the loan is used for the consumption of the small canteen and various expenses.

Yang Xuan hated the government's usury, but he couldn't open his mouth at this moment, otherwise he would offend the officials all over the world.

"We are the arbitrators. Besides, Lao Cao, don't just focus on the superficiality. As long as the gate of Taiping is not closed, as long as Taiping's attitude towards trade remains unchanged, we can make a lot of money."

"Yes." Cao Ying was a little disappointed, feeling that Yang Xuan was too reserved.

"Also, don't think that trade is just for businessmen to make money."

Yang Xuan thought for a while, Li Han saw the old thief take out the booklet and charcoal pencil, staring at Yang Xuan intently.

"Those merchants came to Taiping from all over the place, and spent all their food, clothing, housing and transportation in the city. Do you still remember that there were only four merchants in the city?"

"remember."

"How many are there now?"

"Now... I'm afraid there are hundreds of them."

"Those merchants spend money in these more than 100 merchants. The merchants pay taxes, and they have to buy and hire... Are there still many idlers in the city?"

"Running out."

Cao Ying was startled, he felt that what Lang Jun said was scattered, but there was something shocking in it.

"Businessmen who come to Taiping will spend their money, and the merchants in Taiping will take over their expenses, so they need to hire people to work, and those people will get paid. After they get the wages, they will go to spend, and the merchants will get money again. They will continue to buy, hire, and pay taxes...Old Cao, this is a cycle."

Yang Xuan got up and went in, he was tired and ready to catch up on sleep.

Outside, everyone was silent.

The old thief murmured words and kept recording them.

Zhang Siniang stood by and waited on her. She didn't understand, but seeing that even the most knowledgeable Mr. Cao and Li Han were deep in thought, she couldn't help secretly happy.

Lang Jun's words can make them rack their brains to think, it can be seen that the means are much better than theirs.

The girl's mind is gradually drifting...

Mr. Lang seems to have a woman he likes in Chang'an. Yi Niang said that Mr. Lang will have many women in the future. Am I one of them?

Ah!
definitely is.

But what does that woman in Chang'an look like, what kind of temperament is she, is she a formidable enemy?
Yi Niang said that I was beautiful, but what about that woman?

No matter how beautiful she is, Mr. Lang is affectionate, and I will always be by Mr. Mr.'s side, close to the water!When she came to Lang Jun's side, I had already occupied an important place in Lang Jun's heart.

Zhang Siniang laughed, like a little fox who just succeeded in stealing a chicken.

Cao Ying raised her head, with a flash of light in her eyes, "There are more and more merchants coming, and there will be more and more merchants in the city. They will naturally do the transit business we want to do."

"They will hire more and more people, and the population in Taiping City is naturally not enough, so they will find ways to recruit people from other places, so the population in the city will increase..." Li Han said.

"The city will expand, taxes will increase, and people's lives will become better and better." Cao Ying glanced at Li Han.

"With more taxes, more warriors can be recruited, and the army will become stronger and stronger." Li Han nodded reservedly.

"Those prairie merchants will have peace in their hearts. The Vasie tribe, which seems extremely powerful at the moment, will become an empty shelf with a strong appearance but a weak interior by then."

"Those merchants will disintegrate them within Vache."

"Yes, there is no need to spend a penny in Taiping."

"That's business."

Both Li Han and the old thief thought of what Yang Xuan said before entering the city, and wondered what would happen if other countries used such methods in Datang?
The old thief shuddered.

"Businessmen cannot restrain, but businessmen must restrain!"

Li Han figured it out.

"This point of view is very novel. I have never heard those knowledge mentioned in Chang'an before."

"You don't bother to think about businessmen with those knowledge." Cao Ying smiled contemptuously.

"Yes! In their eyes, businessmen are only interested in profit, and they only need to suppress it."

"However, Mr. Lang feels that businessmen are the foundation of strength and peace."

It cannot be suppressed, but it cannot be suppressed.

"If we continue to develop according to Zitai's vision, Taiping will become the most dazzling pearl in northern Xinjiang in a few years." Li Han got up, "I have to write a letter back."

Although he hated his father, his grandfather was kind to him.

Yang Xuan's idea of ​​Taiping moved his heart. After careful consideration, he felt that this idea seemed vague, but it firmly grasped the hearts of the merchants. If the process is well controlled, it is very likely to be realized.

That being the case, ask grandfather if he would like to develop the family business to northern Xinjiang.

Cao Ying was still sitting there, with various thoughts swirling in her head, when she suddenly let out a long howl.

"Why are you arguing?" Yi Niang roared, "Your Majesty is resting, why are you howling?"

Cao Ying laughed dryly, and then said triumphantly, "I am so proud!"

Yiniang asked, "What are you proud of?"

Cao Ying said: "The old man always thought that the Lord would attack the Vasie tribe, and he was prepared for it. Every month, the old man would save some money and food, and send people to buy medicinal materials and cloth, just waiting for the Lord's voice." Ordered, the Taiping army attacked. But today the old man found out that Mr. Lang never thought of fighting recklessly with the Vasie people."

The old thief took the pamphlet and said with satisfaction: "Lang Jun seems to want to use what he said to be a soft knife to kill people."

"More than that." Cao Ying said: "Mr. Lang first said that he should be vigilant against the ambitions of businessmen, analyzed the minds of businessmen, and then talked about the usefulness of businessmen. Businessmen can strengthen me and peace, and they can also divide Vase from the inside. So one step at a time It will gradually change between Vache and Taiping."

"What changes?"

"Taiping is getting stronger and stronger, and Vache is getting weaker and weaker."

Yang Xuan in the room yawned, "I never expect my opponent to become weaker, I only think about how strong I am."

When the news that Taiping sent troops to avenge the merchants and gave pensions to the families of the deceased spread more and more widely, the grassland merchants set up carts and drove their cattle and sheep to Taiping in an endless stream.

Yang Xuan was invited to the top of the city by Cao Ying, who was in a state of distress.

"Look, sir."

Outside the city, there were herds of cattle and sheep, and from time to time some cattle and sheep ran into other groups. The two merchants had a quarrel for a while, and even fought.

"There are more and more goods being sent from the grassland, but there are too few merchants in Datang."

"No one buys cattle and sheep?"

"Yes, they are flocking to them, but they don't bring enough money." Cao Ying said, "Your Majesty, Taiping needs more and more powerful Datang merchants."

"I'll find a way."

Yang Xuan walked down the wall, "I'll go to Lin'an."

"What are you going to do, sir?"

"Investment attraction."
