Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 144 Jia Xu Offers Advice
Zhang He probably knows the story of "receiving more than three or five buckets".

There is a lot of grain, and the grain merchants with the background of local tycoons naturally want to buy at a lower price.

The 'depression' here is extremely unreasonable no matter what the era.

Just like in the season when there is no harvest or even no harvest, the price of grain they sell is very unreasonable.

I remember that a few years later, the grain in Guanzhong was even sold for [-] yuan per stone.

I don't know if it is five baht coins or small coins minted by Dong Zhuo, but I hope it is the latter.

"That is to say, the bumper harvest of grain has caused the rich families in various places to store grain at a price that cannot be sold, so the Zhang family may take the lead and point the finger at the Fujun, right?" Jia Xu did not expect that Zhang He would use this question to ask him for advice.

This is somewhat entangled, has he forgotten that he is from Wuwei Guzang Jia family, and his family probably stocked up a lot of food.

Of course, that was the case. Knowing that a high-yielding wheat variety was about to be popularized, he had already written back in advance, asking his family to sell as much of the grain as possible.

In other words, not only did the Jia family have no losses, but they could also use this to purchase a batch of new grain at a low price, making a steady profit without losing money.

This is the convenience of working in the government.

You don't need to be corrupt, you just need to receive some rumors in advance, make preparations in advance, and make a bad news, and you can make a lot of profits.

It's still the same sentence, not to mention the rumors that have already spread, before it spreads to the outside world, the internal officials hold a meeting, and rumors of this aspect will start to spread internally.

That is to say, the outsiders knew the wind, and the officials below received it about ten days and a half months in advance, and seized the opportunity.

From the beginning to the end, no one took bribes, but in fact everyone actually made profits...

When a certain decree is actually implemented and issued, then I plan to enter the market. I am afraid that there will be no leftover leftovers, and it will become a leek to be harvested.

"If Liangzhou doesn't have much arable land, most of the wealthy families don't rely on farming to make a living." Jia Xu thought for a while, "There should be few wealthy families who would target the Fujun."

If the Jia family is excluded, there will probably be even less.

The problem is that the Zhang family and the Jia family are also married.

It can't be said that they advance and retreat together, at least they can't deal with the Zhang family too clearly.

"The method is also simple. Send more than a thousand people to the counties to buy up the surplus grain, and transport it to Jingzhao for sale." Jia Xu replied.

Now is the time when there is a shortage of crops. Excluding Liangzhou, it can be said that there is a shortage of food everywhere.

Then the government escorts the grain to the Jingzhao area and sells it at a relatively reasonable price. The grain merchants have no transportation costs and actually make money, so naturally there will be no more opinions.

They can even send one or two stewards to accompany the army, take some other supplies to Jingzhao or even Luoyang, and buy a batch of cloth and silk for sale.

Liangzhou can be regarded as a distribution center for leather goods, but there are not many self-produced cloths.

After all, there is very little arable land, enough to open terraces, how can there be extra land for growing hemp?
Even in a small number of workshops, the twine is probably purchased from other places.

"Then what are the interests of the government?" Zhang He asked, "If you talk about the wealthy family in Jingzhao, do you have any objections?"

"There is only so much grain in Liangzhou, and they don't care about such a little grain entering the market." Jia Xu replied.

Don't be so presumptuous in each county, then the tyrants in each county will naturally have no objections.

It's just that he didn't tell the truth about one thing, that is, the tyrants have an opinion, and it's not that the hoarded grain cannot be sold.

The main cause of dissatisfaction is precisely this high yield of wheat.

They have become accustomed to using the process of buying low and selling high to force the people to owe usury, and finally take the opportunity to annex their land and even their whole family.

Zhang He ruined the process, which is why they were angry.

In other words, if this high-yield wheat is completely destroyed, they will naturally no longer target it.

There is one thing to say, in order to better control food prices, aristocratic families in various places even hope that the people will return to the era of slash-and-burn farming.

Otherwise, in this era when salt and iron are no longer monopolized, and the price of salt is completely low to freezing point, why is the price of iron still high?

Not to mention all-iron agricultural tools, there are still many people in various places who still use stone agricultural tools.

Many farming techniques have not been popularized. If it is said that high-yield farmland will be plundered, why is it like this for the fields of aristocratic families?

Compared with doing business, this is an unstable and risky business method.

Isn't it safer to freely manipulate food prices and wantonly annex land?

Whether it is Zhang He or Liu Bei, there is a high probability that they will become a powerful or even aristocratic family in the future.

Especially the Zhang family in Zhuoxian County, who are originally local tyrants, don't they know this truth?

In Jia Xu's view, Zhang He's behavior of promoting high-yield crops is the real "deviant", he betrayed his own class!

"So that's how it is..." Zhang He was thoughtful when he heard the words. This method seems to be feasible, at least it can drive Liangzhou's economy.

In a sense, Liangzhou is similar to the later Fujian Province, and the environment is not suitable for farming.

He couldn't figure it out, they had already begun to pay more attention to industry and commerce, and they had to continue to manipulate grain prices and control the amount of iron ore.

No, to be precise, it is to control the quantity of domestic sales, but there is not a lot of export.

It is precisely because of the export of iron ingots and even weapons that a large number of cattle, sheep and horses can be obtained from Qianghu.

Perhaps it is the inherent image of merchants, which is greed and cunning, which has nothing to do with noble morals.

Naturally, if you don't have a family heirloom, you have a better chance of becoming famous.

To make money, so sneak into business.

If you want to be famous, you will get the opportunity to be filial and honest, so you should study the family heirloom.

It is also possible to use this method to reduce the risks in commercial activities to a certain extent.

There are many things that Zhang He didn't know before time travelling, but after time travelling, he got to know more and gradually understood.

"Wenhe, what should you keep?" Zhang He asked back, "I heard that the Zhang family and the Jia family have a good relationship..."

"There is indeed some relationship by marriage, and the humble mother is Zhang." Jia Xu replied, "Although the friendship was formed only in the generation of the great-grandfather, the friendship between the Jia family and Zhang Ji can be traced back to Zhang Cang in the former Han Dynasty. With Jia Yi."

The Jia family of Guzang was originally a branch of the Jia family of Luoyang. It was only when the great-grandfather was the prefect of Guzang that he settled here and has thrived to this day.

It is also because of the help of the Zhang family that the Jia family can stand firm here.

"Actually, if you want the Zhang family to stop targeting the Fujun, you should ask another person." Jia Xu replied, "Zhang Zian's nephew, Zhang Xiu, is known as the spear king of the North..."

Tong Yuan!

Zhang He suddenly realized this, Zhang Xiu should not be under Zhang Ji's command now, that is to say, he can be recruited!
When Zhang Xiu came to his command, the Zhang family would have no reason to target him again.

I have to say that Jia Xu is Jia Xu, not to mention the nonsense part, the plan in a few words, all problems are solved.

Zhang He didn't talk nonsense, and immediately went to find Tong Yuan after thanking him.

"Xiu'er? That's fine, I'll write a letter to see if he will come!" After all, Tong Yuan was getting old, and he also wanted Zhang Xiu a little bit.

To say that in this lifetime, he has taken in many disciples and taught many people their martial arts, but there are only three disciples who have personally taught him.

Zhang Ren is already working in Yizhou, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come.Zhang Xiu is still in the wild now, if he can enter the army, it is considered a way out.

Immediately wrote a letter and handed it to Zhang He to send out.

Really, Zhang He gave him the bowl of porridge, which helped him a lot.

He said that when he wrote a letter to Li Yan before, he noticed that his hand had begun to tremble slightly, but now he was holding the pen very steadily.

In the current state, I can probably live another ten years.

As a result, in less than three days, Zhang Xiu came to Ji County, and came to the door immediately...

　Zhang's family aimed at Zhang He, deducting Zhang Ji's hatred for taking his wife, and more damage to his interests.It might be better to say that Zhang Ji used this to persuade the Zhang family to come forward and unite with wealthy families from all over the country to target Zhang He.

　　From another perspective, if Zhang He recruits Zhang Xiu, then the Zhang family will not deliberately target Zhang Xiu for the sake of Zhang Xiu's future. If the Zhang family does not take the lead, others will not be able to make trouble.

　　Draining from the bottom of the pot is nothing more than that.

　　If Jia Xu is also from Liangzhou after all, and his family is here, he has to worry about it.

　　Otherwise, if he is now in Nanyang, alone, he will have to be as ruthless as possible, after all, it doesn't matter.

　　After all, in this era, the township party is still very important.

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
