The original purpose of enfeoffing people of the same surname as kings was to create a royal family that could protect the imperial family and fight against the ambitious people among the gentry. Therefore, the royal family kings were given great political and military power, such as abolishing the military equipment of prefectures and counties, allowing the royal family kings to have the right to set up their own troops in their own fiefdoms, allowing the royal family kings to go out to the town and allow the royal family kings to participate in politics.

However, they forgot that once they had power and land, the power of the royal family would expand, which would have an indelible impact on the central government.

The internal power struggle in Luoyang also began, or it should be said that it had begun long ago, but it had only been a struggle among the upper class before, and had not spread to the world, nor developed into a war.

The current emperor of the Sima family is a fool. The government has always been controlled by Empress Jia Nanfeng and several other Sima kings. This time, when the Xianbei and Hu besieged the city, Jia Nanfeng controlled the government and killed the prince who was not her own son. She made all kinds of troubles. When she was no longer useful, she acted more and more excessively. Naturally, she was killed by the Sima kings who cooperated with her. Although Luoyang has an emperor now, it is actually the same as having no emperor.

The emperor's stupidity is almost "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone". How could the other Sima clan members who were enfeoffed stand idly by? Naturally, they want to be the master of Luoyang.

So, internal strife started.

Luoyang has become a huge piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Chen Xiquan brought his family back to Luoyang three years later because Luoyang was "stable", but You Hongyin now has a general view. The so-called stability is just that the King of Chengdu stood out and briefly controlled the city of Luoyang. In fact, there are many powerful Sima kings outside. The stability of Luoyang must be like a mirage and will soon be shattered.

After seeing the whole incident clearly, You Hongyin decided to leave Guangling when he was sixteen years old.

Heroes emerge in troubled times. Staying in Guangling City, you can't be a hero, and you can't find a hero.

In fact, if Guo Xi was a little older, You Hongyin would be more relaxed and could accumulate strength earlier, but he was still too young.

But now he has a teacher to teach him, which can be regarded as sharpening the knife before cutting wood. It allows You Hongyin to get a lot of valuable information and allows him to carefully plan the road ahead.

First, he needs a place, and secondly, he needs talents.

Land can be considered later, talents need to be cultivated. In the early stage of entrepreneurship, there is no need to consider attracting talents to join. It is more convenient to cultivate them by yourself. He does not want to cultivate brilliant celebrities, but some managers who can handle some common affairs. The time spent should not be very long.

And if you want to cultivate talents, you naturally cannot borrow the resources of the Chen family, so you have to earn silk, cloth, money and grain yourself.

Ah, after going around in circles, it turns out that you still have to do what you have done countless times before.

Make money.

Fortunately, in this era, business is not very restricted, and there is no rule that the gentry does not do business. If there is no trading of goods, where will the gentry get a lot of money to squander? On the contrary, in today's situation, it is the gentry who have mastered various advanced knowledge who have very precious goods output, such as salt, iron, tea, grain, silk, etc. The manors and various workshops operated by the aristocratic families will produce various materials all the time.

"Teacher, what is the maximum output of the Chen family property?" You Hongyin didn't want to offend the aristocratic family just to make a little money. He was weak now, so could he still steal other people's jobs? There are many valuable and popular things in the world. If you want to make huge profits, it is naturally not to grab other people's market share, but to monopolize it yourself.

"Hey, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?" Chen Kan asked.

"Curious." You Hongyin said.

Chen Kan understood that the little rascal didn't want to say anything. He glared at his apprentice. This kid never showed any fear of the teacher, which made him love and hate him: "I guess you have also wondered why the teacher chose Guangling to retire. Guangling Salt Field is the property of Chen, Wei and King Guangling. The salt produced is supplied to the six counties and makes a lot of profit. But if the Chen family values ​​the industry the most, it is still Chen's silk cocoon paper, which is a treasure among papers and has always been in short supply."

Nowadays, the currency is not circulated, and inferior money is mostly circulated in the market, so the trading habit of bartering is still followed, and the hard currency is silk cloth.

Why silk cloth?

Silk cloth is not purely used for tailoring clothes and making bedding, etc. It also has an important function of writing. Because bamboo slips are inconvenient and the paper making process is complicated, the price of high-quality paper is more expensive than silk cloth. This also leads to the fact that the function of silk cloth as paper is still there, and there is no worry about sales, so it gradually becomes hard currency.

Chen Kan is proud of Chen's cocoon paper, because it is not only an elegant thing, but also because cocoon paper is sought after by the nobles and is in high demand.

Chen Kan told about his own two things, and began to popularize to You Hongyin what products other noble families are famous for.

You Hongyin's eyes were immediately opened.

Almost every family has its own unique secret recipe or specialty, but the top noble families do not manage these by themselves, but choose dependent families to manage on their behalf.

"My Yingchuan Chen family is not as good as those top wealthy families, so there are disciples in the family who are distracted by this." Chen Kan sighed.

Yes, noble families do not care about the reputation of doing business, but from the heart, they do not like this kind of work. If conditions permit, they will hire professional agents.

You Hongyin said: "Teacher said regret, but in fact, these things are very precious."

Chen Kan said: "So, the teacher is persuading you, kid, not to be distracted by the immediate interests, and now it is still important to study."

You Hongyin smiled and said, "I knew that the teacher had something else to say. However, in my opinion, learning and practicing from time to time, applying what you have learned to practice, can also be regarded as review and consolidation, and it cannot be regarded as distraction."

"This business method is praised to the fullest in your mouth." Chen Kan had also handled these things before, and knew that if he wanted to do practical work, he could not do without this business method. Such words were just a casual blow to his disciple.

You Hongyin said, "My disciple's foundation is shallow now, but I would like to cooperate with the teacher."

Chen Kan raised his eyebrows and motioned him to continue.

"I heard a lot just now, and I have a method." You Hongyin said, "It can produce colored porcelain that is more gorgeous and dazzling than white porcelain."

Chen Kan sat up suddenly: "Are you sure it is colored porcelain? Not painted pottery?"

With today's firing technology, let alone colored porcelain, even white porcelain can only be fired by a few very rare families.

Porcelain was born not long ago, but its jade-like appearance and rarity are enough to attract the nobles' enthusiastic pursuit. The nobles' pursuit represents the popular trend. The high-level Hu people also followed suit, and this oversupply situation caused porcelain to become a high-end trading commodity.

There are many reasons why most kilns cannot burn porcelain, such as not knowing the formula. Today, the formula for burning porcelain is still in the hands of a few people. Another reason is that the craftsmanship is not up to standard. The temperature for burning porcelain is much higher than that for burning pottery. Even if a kiln for burning porcelain is built, it is difficult to reach the set temperature under natural conditions.

So more advanced blasting technology is needed.

And the firing of colored porcelain is nothing more than glazing. It depends on how the actual operation process is. You Hongyin only knows the process and has not actually operated it, but even if it fails, it will always succeed if you try more.

Chen Kan naturally understood that if the colored porcelain was successfully fired, the profits behind it would not only be Qian Juan and the two things. Whether it was to build relationships, make friends with forces, or send treasures, it would always be twice the result with half the effort. Don't think that the noble family doesn't need to give gifts when doing things.

Therefore, in such a win-win situation, Chen Kan naturally agreed.

You Hongyin just wanted to get Qian Juan. Except for the technology, the Chen family took care of everything else. He didn't think about keeping this porcelain firing technology. He never thought about taking back what he had taken out.

This is also the reason why You Hongyin chose to fire porcelain among many things such as papermaking, printing, cement, etc. This thing does not involve the fundamental livelihood of the people. It is a luxury item, and it is not very painful to give it away.

In a flash of more than two years, Luoyang has changed hands several times. Changsha King Sima Yi briefly calmed the disputes in Luoyang, and Luoyang temporarily stabilized.

And You Hongyin is now sixteen years old.

He now has some servants around him, some refugees, some slaves, and even two Hu people, who were originally ordinary farmers. After being conscripted and defeated, they became slaves and were sold here.

"Do you want to go home now?" Chen Kan is now two years older, but he is still very energetic.

"Teacher, are you going back to Yingchuan?" You Hongyin asked.

"Hey, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. My younger brother will take over here. Now that Luoyang is unblocked, I need to go back."

"I won't go back for the time being." You Hongyin said, "I'm going to look for a wise leader or something."

If you can't find it, do it yourself.

Of course, he won't say this. § This § work § is § organized § and § uploaded by § Si Tu § online reading § netizens §

It is so difficult to find a wise leader in the world, and it is even more difficult to find a like-minded one.

Under the protection of his guards, You Hongyin traveled through four states and finally chose Qingzhou as his starting point.

In modern times, Qingzhou, namely the Shandong Peninsula, has less output than Yangzhou and Jingzhou, less traffic than Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and less lax management than Jiaozhou, Changzhou and Yizhou. However, considering all the conditions, Qingzhou is the most suitable for You Hongyin now.

Why?

Because the king of Qingzhou was not in the fiefdom, but took people to Luoyang to seize the throne, and never came back. At this moment, the population of the Central Plains is mostly concentrated in the lower reaches of Shuanghe Plain. Although Jiaozhou, Changzhou and Yizhou are far away from the emperor, they have no population, so it is useless to seize them.

In this era, population is everything.

Don’t think that the noble families never take ordinary people seriously, just like these untouchables are like livestock, not even as good as livestock, but in fact, the real strength is still confirmed by population, to be precise, by the strong population.

Another reason why You Hongyin chose Qingzhou was that there were not too many powerful families in Qingzhou. On the contrary, although the governor of Qingzhou, Shan Jian, was quite famous for his talent, he was gentle and elegant. When he was young, he liked to talk about things, inheriting his father's style.

Shan Jian was the son of Shan Tao, one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. He was deeply influenced by his father in both personality and style. He first served as the Prince's attendant, and after being promoted many times, he served as the Prince's son and Huangmen Lang, and then became the governor of Qingzhou.

However, holding many positions does not mean strong ability. If you are not born in a noble family and have a good reputation, it is not the turn of Shan Jian, who is not in charge of common affairs, to be a frontier official.

The governor does not take care of things, and the prefects and county officials under Qingzhou also deal with their duties casually. If Qingzhou was not near the sea and far away from Luoyang, I am afraid that it would have been conscripted to fight against the war.

But this does not mean that Qingzhou is a paradise, and You Hongyin would not choose it as a paradise.

Now, You Hongyin carries an appointment with him, which was the prefecture chief of Gaomi County in exchange for a celadon water incense burner with a picture of fish and dragons playing in the water.

Don't underestimate this position. If it weren't for the collapse of the current regime and Chen Kan's mediation, You Hongyin would have won a good reputation at the Guangling Zhongzheng Conference and was rated as superior. Then he presented the famous Luoyang dragon playing incense burner to Sima Yi, who is now in power in Luoyang. I'm afraid it would be impossible for him to get a prefect position.

Although, the sons of the noble families don't look down on this prefect position, because Gaomi County is too remote and too poor.

Although it seems that the position is higher, in fact, everyone likes to go to richer counties because it is easier to govern. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. For people from noble families, going to local officials is just to brush up their qualifications. After brushing up, they have to return to Luoyang, the political center. Therefore, it is impossible to run to such a remote place for a prefect position. Those places are reserved for poor families.

You Hongyin thinks this place is pretty good and suitable for his development.

What's more, Gaomi has something that other places can't compare to, that is Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay is a natural harbor, which is one of the important means for You Hongyin to rapidly develop his power.

When he arrived at Gaomi City, he did the handover work with the previous governor who was promoted, and sent the governor who happily returned to Luoyang to take up his post.
