Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 474 Commercial Law
The officials sent by the imperial court entered Chang'an with the [-] shi of grain sent by the imperial court, and then started from Chang'an and went to Fufeng, Feng Yi and other counties.

The land of Jingzhao has been in a state of no one management for a long time. After all, let alone oil and water, this place is almost empty of people. Without the support of local wealthy families, it is difficult for the county magistrate to start work according to the previous routine.

In the old actual governance, the county magistrate only needs to form a good relationship with the local Dazu to stabilize the place.

But now the wealthy families are basically gone, and the people are starved of food, not to mention the spring plowing, and the people in many places can’t even afford to eat. If they encountered this situation before, they still wanted to borrow food from the big families for disaster relief. Now, all the big families are gone. Now, where can I borrow food?

The 200,000 stones of grain and grass allocated by the imperial court are all for the four generals. Where can we get food for these people?
Even according to the current system, it won't work. It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and nothing can be solved without food.

Chen Gong asked people to discuss with the four generals that the follow-up food should be used to solve the urgent need first, and then it would be recovered by taxes after the people planted the land.

The four of Liang Xing have already benefited, and they also feel that the current situation is not good for them, and the food has already reached their territory, so they are afraid that it will not be possible if they don't give it?
Taxes are collected by their people.

Therefore, the fourth general did not hesitate, and directly agreed.

Of course, the remaining 800,000 shi of grain was a false report, and the imperial court had no such budget at all, and even half of the 200,000 shi given now was borrowed from Nanyang.

But this promise is enough.

Chang'an, government office.

"Mr. Gongtai, only 200,000 shi of grain can be sent to Guanzhong from the Mi family. If you want more, you can wait for the first batch of grain to be collected in April, but it will take at least June to send it here!" Mi Fang looked at Chen Gongdao.

"200,000 shi is enough to solve the urgent need. I will find a solution for the rest." Chen Gong nodded, looked at Mi Fang and said with a smile: "This time I invited Zifang to Chang'an for the purpose of Guanzhong Commercial Affairs!"

"Since the sir has opened his mouth, I will naturally help him with all my strength, but how to do this? There is no profit in Guanzhong!" Mi Fang smiled wryly.

Guanzhong is now such a bird, no matter what it is, it is difficult to sell at a high price.

"Guanzhong has fertile soil for thousands of miles. The imperial court can grant some land to various chambers of commerce. The Ministry of Industry has the latest looms, which are twenty times more efficient than the previous looms. If the Mi family is willing to recruit women to weave in Guanzhong Cloth, these looms, the imperial court sent [-] looms to each family." Chen Gong laughed.

The people's livelihood products researched by the Ministry of Industry are not very attractive in the Central Plains, because the products are too rich, which limits the development of technology. Everyone is still willing.

But correspondingly, the labor cost is also high, which is also a problem that major merchants have been worrying about.

But it's different in Guanzhong. The people here, as long as they stutter, they can work hard for you. The production efficiency is [-] times higher, which is enough to attract many merchants.

"Twenty times!?" Mi Fang stood up in shock, looked at Chen Gong in astonishment and said, "Sir, what you said is true!?"

Because of the support of Chu Nan, the Mi family is the first big businessman to follow Chu Nan. He can get some of Xuzhou's fine silk and special spider silk, so in the past two years, he has gradually begun to increase his participation in the textile industry. put in.

If there is a loom that is [-] times more efficient, for them, it will definitely be an artifact that will allow the Mi family's wealth to continue to expand rapidly.

"Naturally, since the establishment of the Ministry of Industry, although it has always focused on weapons, water conservancy, and city construction, it has also created things related to people's livelihood." Chen Gong nodded.

In fact, as far as he knows, these things are the products of failed attempts on weapons and water conservancy, etc. They cannot be used on weapons and ordnance, but they can be used on people's livelihood. Many things emerged during this process .

"Don't worry, sir, the Mi family will definitely help." Mi Fang said with a bow.

As one of the earliest big forces under Chu Nan, Mi Fang has already stepped into an official career and doesn't value business too much, so when Chen Gong asks him for help, even if it doesn't benefit him, he is willing to help.

Of course, this assistance is limited, and it is impossible to use up all the family wealth to help Chen Gong manage Guanzhong like in the beginning.

But if while helping Chen Gong, the Mi family can also gain benefits, then Mi Fang is naturally willing to increase investment.

As for the method of this new loom, Mi Fang didn't ask, since it was produced by the Ministry of Industry, it may involve confidentiality, and Mi Fang still understands the rules.

"There is Lao Zifang!" Chen Gong was very satisfied with Mi Fang's attitude. The rich merchants under Chu Nan were really easy to use when they used it. In addition to Mi Fang, Tian Yang, Ren Zhao and others also came to participate, but although they were behind Relying on Chu Nan, he also has some family business these years, but his strength is still limited, and even if he tries his best, he can't compare to Mi Fang.

"I'll arrange it here, but in terms of food, the imperial court is also buying food from the people. If the Mi family gets involved, it may be suspected of driving up prices." Mi Fang got up and said.

"Don't worry, Zifang, someone will deliver the food." Chen Gong laughed.

"Since Mr. has a plan in mind, I'm relieved. I'll go and explain. The 200,000 shi, grain, and grass will probably arrive tomorrow. I'll take my leave first." Mi Fang clasped her fists at Chen Gong and saluted.

"Zi Fang, go slowly." Chen Gong nodded, got up and sent Mi Fang out of the door.

It was not until Mi Fang left the government office that Chen Gong asked Zhao Yun to invite another person.

"Zhen Yao met Mr. Gongtai." After Zhen Yao came in, he saluted Chen Gong with a smile.

"There's no need to be too polite. After all, the Patriarch is considered a member of Mrs. Zhen's clan, not an outsider." Chen Gong waved his hands.

Zhen Yao sat down and looked at Chen Gong and said, "Sir, on the east side of the river, we can raise [-] stones of food and grass for Mr. right now, no matter how much, we may not be noticed."

Hedong is now the link between many merchants under the rule of Chu Nan and Yuan Shao. Many things are traded from Hedong and Chu Nan. Of course, these merchants do not directly deal with Chu Nan, but through Zhenan. home, and the Zhen family earns some freight and intermediate fees.

"Zizhen, I have a plan to make Yuan Shao willing to let you come here to do business. I wonder if Zizhen is willing?" Chen Gong looked at Zhen Yao and asked with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhen Yao was vigilant, but his face showed joy, he looked at Chen Gong and said, "Please teach me, sir."

"Now that our army has established a foothold in Jingzhao to intimidate the generals in Guanzhong, if Yuan Shao does not respond, I am afraid that Guanzhong will be captured by our army, so Zizhen is willing to provide some support to the generals in Guanzhong through business and trade, and secretly support them in the future. Our army is against us, so our army won't get this pass." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"This..." Zhen Yao was a little moved, but he still hesitated more. If this matter is not good, it may affect the whole family!

"The Zhen family's trade is really carried out under the rule of the generals in Guanzhong, and has nothing to do with our army. In addition, the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce will station in various places in Guanzhong in the near future, and will establish weaving workshops here. There is no limit to trade here. As long as the two of you can negotiate a price and clear the money and the goods, the government office won't take too much care." Chen Gong said with a smile.

Xuzhou's silk cloth, even if it is an ordinary cloth, is of good quality, and it is sought after by nobles from all over the country. If you can get it and transport it back to Jizhou, it will undoubtedly be a huge profit.

Zhen Yao's eyes lit up when he heard the words. At this moment, his heart was really moved.

The most important thing is, as Chen Gong said, everything is a normal trade, which does not harm Yuan Shao's interests, and even brings benefits to Jizhou, why not do it?

"I'm just doing business under the rule of a general?" Zhen Yao said in a deep voice. He entered Chang'an secretly by himself. This is no problem, but if a large number of caravans enter Chang'an, it will be a big problem, and it will be easy to be known. Well, by then, the Zhen family will be in bad luck.

"Don't worry, what Gong just said is true. Even if the Zhen family comes to Guanzhong, it's up to them. Even if they don't come, it won't affect the Hedong trade." Chen Gong nodded and smiled.

It doesn't matter, but it will be difficult to connect with the Mi family's textile industry.

Zhen Yao knew this very well, the cloth industry was the real bait thrown by Chen Gong, but even if he knew it was the bait, Zhen Yao couldn't resist the temptation.

If the Zhen family can become the only chamber of commerce in Jizhou that controls Xuzhou Zenbu, it will be very beneficial to the Zhen family.

After a while, Zhen Yao got up, bowed to Chen Gong and said: "Sir, this matter is important, I can't make a decision right away, I need to go back to Jizhou first, and I will give you an answer in a few days, the [-] stones of grain and grass have arrived." Puban, sir, just send someone to pick him up."

"I'm sorry." Chen Gong nodded with a smile: "Don't worry about business matters, take your time."

He is not in a hurry, Jiang Taigong is fishing, will the wisher take the bait, the real one should be the one who is anxious now, not him.

Really want to nod silently, say goodbye and leave in a hurry.

With the presence of the two major chambers of commerce in the north and the south, it will have a great impact on the economy of Guanzhong. At the same time, as long as the Zhen family enters, it is equivalent to entering the water. With such a huge profit, there will always be people who are eager to come to test it.

Ziyan's business method is used in the right place, and it is indeed quite effective, but Shang is a success after all. It is good to use this to publish a military book, take Shang as a lesson, and add it to my book on the business of war. Ziyan probably won't Mind the little things.

"Teacher!" Zhao Yun came in from the door, saw Chen Gong's inexplicable smile, and felt an urge to hit him for no reason, but was suppressed in the end, and bowed to Chen Gong.

"Cough, what's the matter?" Chen Gong said solemnly with a solemn expression.

"There is an old man outside the mansion who claims that Qiao Rui wants to see the teacher." Zhao Yun bowed.

"Please!" Chen Gong was a little surprised when he heard the words, but he calmed down immediately. It didn't seem to be a surprise. This old man has a keen sense of smell since he started business, and with Erqiao's relationship, You can always know something more than others, and you don’t need to ask if you come here at this time, it must be for Guanzhong business...
