Chapter 332 Tickets
Wu Di's writing style is soft. Compared with the vigorous "The Road to Shu is Difficult", Zhang Wen prefers "Changgan Xing".
Changqian is the Jianye of Wu, and Changfengsha is Queweizhu of Wu. It is Qutang Yanlidui, which is also the junction of Wu and Han - under Baidi City.
Obviously, the article "Changgan Xing" was written from east to west, using the dangerous location of the river to set off the pain of the two people's lovesickness.
Zhang Wen had doubted more than once that this Feng Langjun was from Wu?
Otherwise, why would you be so familiar with this great Jiangwu land?
Just thinking that such a talented young man from Wu went to Shu, I couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.
Deng Zhi smiled heartily and said, "Even if Huishu can send me to Changfengsha, there are still Qutang Gorge and Yanlidui. Is it possible that he still has to send me to Dahan?"
“It’s time for me to be a daughter.”
Zhang Wen nodded and smiled to himself.
"However, as an envoy, I am afraid that I will have the opportunity to come to Wu again in the future. But with Huishu's current situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to have the opportunity to visit the Han Dynasty again."
Deng Zhi sighed,
Zhang Wenmuran.
"However, if you have a way, you can't meet each other, but you can also have spiritual friendship. Since Huishu admires Feng Langjun so much, even if he can't go to Shu to see him again, he can still write a handwritten letter."
Deng Zhi suggested.
"May I?"
When Zhang Wen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and then a little worried, "Although Feng Langjun is young, he is a man of great talent. I have never met him. I am afraid that being so presumptuous will be too abrupt."
"Although I have never met Feng Langjun, I have heard that he is a generous man and values righteousness over wealth." Deng Zhi coughed and said, "Huishu likes his articles so much that I want to come to him." You won’t be surprised.”
As he spoke, he added another layer of fire, "I heard that the Prime Minister regards him as a disciple. If this letter is conveyed through the Prime Minister, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
“Is this happening?”
Zhang Wen was surprised, then nodded, and said suddenly, "It is inevitable that such an outstanding young man will be regarded differently by the Prime Minister."
Think about it when I was in Jincheng, the rumors about this son were also fierce in Jincheng, but the prime minister not only remained unmoved, but actually appointed him.
Looking at Ji Yan again, she was also attacked by the crowd, but she ended up committing suicide.
Han and Wu both made judgments about superiority and inferiority.
Zhang Wen’s letter has not yet reached Feng Yong’s hands, but Feng Yong’s letter has already reached the hands of Adou and Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
“This bastard!”
After reading Feng Mingwen’s letter, Zhuge Liang dropped the letter on the spot, but the next moment, he picked it up again.
The content of the letter made him happy and disgusted at the same time.
I was so happy that I almost lost control of myself, and I was so disgusted that I almost tore up all the things he sent me.
But after thinking about it, Zhuge Liang finally closed his eyes and sighed because he couldn't bear it.
Because what was delivered to Zhuge Liang was not only the letter, but also several pieces of paper.
The quality of the paper is very good. Feng Yong worked on it for two months before finally finalizing the sample.
Compared with the first paper that came out, plant fibers could still be seen on it. The surface of the paper delivered to Zhuge Liang this time was much smoother, making it very suitable for writing.
Although it is not as white as snow, it still has a hint of yellow, but its original advantages of being thick and flexible have been retained, making it a rare and good paper.
The key is that this paper can be produced in large quantities and the cost is very low.
So in Zhuge Liang's eyes, this piece of paper is really like the dragon's liver and phoenix's gallbladder. One bite will make you immortal, two bites will make you immortal...
But Feng Tibi's letter made Zhuge Liang feel that this appearance of dragon liver and phoenix courage is coated with a layer of shit!
Why did he bring Li Yi and several other brothers with him, why did he go through so many hardships, did he forget about food and sleep, and how many hardships did he create such nonsense as this piece of paper?
If someone who didn’t know who this son was was reading this letter, they would really think that he was so loyal and patriotic!
But who is Zhuge Liang?
He is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty!
Does Cao Aha know about the attack?
Back then, when I led an army of hundreds of thousands to the south, didn't I just help the late emperor capture Jingzhou from him?
Sun Zhongmou knew about cutting?
Back then, I was chatting and laughing with him, but I forced him to make up his mind to keep it secret from Cao A!
Last year, the late emperor passed away, and the five-pronged army threatened Shuzhong. I could defeat them all just by sitting in my house and fishing!
What haven’t I seen?
Who among us is following whom?
With your temperament of not eating anything but meat when you eat, and your temperament of fishing or even sleeping under the shade of a tree while others are busy in the fields when harvesting grain, how can you possibly forget about food and sleep at all?
Do you really think that I, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, am not a high-ranking official of the imperial court?
You said you are young, can you die if you are asked to follow the right path?
I gave you the "Six Tao" to let you learn the tactics and strategies. I wanted you to use them on thieves, not for you to learn and use them on me!
More importantly, there was another thing that made the Han Prime Minister very unhappy, that is, the letter said that there was no place to grow food in Nanxiang, and he hoped that Chenggu could supply food to Nanxiang.
Although the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty had never seen a freak like Nanxiang, it did not prevent him from using his keen political vision to see that if all food in Nanxiang was supplied from outside, then this freak would become easier to control. .
As long as we can control it, everything can be discussed.
So even if the Han Prime Minister feels emotionally awkward, his political instinct will still agree - it just feels as disgusting as eating shit.
In the end, the great Han Prime Minister went to the study door and cursed for a long time, but he still had to hold his nose and admit it.
After cursing people, when he opened the door, the Han Prime Minister held the paper tightly in his hand and refused to let go, and looked refreshed - it is one thing to curse people, but it is another thing to get this treasure.
The harder you work, the greater the credit will be—the greater the effort, the greater the credit.
There is no way, paper is too important.
“Come here,” Zhuge Liang called his servants and ordered, “Get ready, I want to enter the palace.”
Different from his father who was disgusted and happy at the same time, A Dou was not only excited but also excited when he received Feng Tubao's letter.
There was no other way. In addition to the letter, Feng Tibi also sent Adou a stack of paper.
Paper is not the kind of paper in the hands of the Han Dynasty Prime Minister.
The paper in Adou's hand is larger than the palm of his hand, and the paper is of excellent quality. On the front is written "Hundred pieces of fine woolen cloth, which can be exchanged on sight."
There is a strange symbol "9527" written on the reverse corner, and I don't know what it means.
The words on each piece of paper are exactly the same. There is no difference at all, and I don’t know how the writer wrote it.
Even the ink used for writing is very special. The fonts have a faint shine and oil stains can be seen around the words.
Put it to your nose and smell it. The ink smells fragrant. I don’t know how to prepare the ink.
After Adou finished admiring this rare piece of paper, he took a few steps back and forth with a thirsty look on his face. He looked outside the door as if he was waiting for something.
Zhang Xingcai also held a piece of paper in his hand and looked at it carefully, with a bright face, and said to Ah Dou, "A Lang, this paper is really beautiful."
This paper is of course good, and it is very good!
Adou nodded in agreement, "This paper is of course very good, but the little yellow gate has been out for so long, why hasn't it come back yet?" After thinking about it, he said with some worry, "Queen, tell me, it can't be. Were you stopped by Dong Yun?"
"Alang, don't be impatient. Wait a moment. These hundred pieces of cloth are in my concubine's name, and they are not from the treasury. So why should Dong Yun stop me?"
Zhang Xingcai comforted him.
The first couple of Han Dynasty, who should have been rich all over the world, are like farmers who have dug up gold, waiting nervously and excitedly for news from outside the palace.
There is no way around it. The way Feng Tubao distributed his first dividend in Hanzhong was slightly different from the impression among ordinary people.
As early as more than a month ago, he sent a message to Jincheng, asking Zhao Guang, Wang Xun and others to find a spacious place in Jincheng specifically for storing woolen cloth, and then ship it from Hanzhong to Jincheng for storage. stand up.
Until today, dividends have officially begun.
What is distributed to each person is the unique paper in Adou's hand.
With this piece of paper, you can go to the designated place in Jincheng to change the woolen cloth.
Not only Zhao Guang, but even Li Yi felt that this method was a bit troublesome.
Not only was it a waste of manpower and material resources to transport woolen cloth to Jincheng by ourselves, but what if people were no longer willing to transport grain to Nanxiang?
But Feng Yong dismissed their worries.
Just saying it, you will understand later.
As long as there is profit, how can there be no one to transport grain?
Feng Yong later figured out that exchanging grain for woolen cloth could only be regarded as a temporary expedient.
Because next year Zhuge Lao Yao will also engage in wool spinning. No matter where he is, it will inevitably have an impact on the textile workshops in Nanxiang.
So, only one’s own food production base can make people feel at ease.
Besides, how could the earliest industrial base in later generations not have food and agricultural and sideline product production bases nearby?
It was only later, due to the rapid development of the transportation industry, that there was the capital to open a green channel for vegetables.
Since Nanxiang County was separated from Chenggu County, and the two counties are so close, I would like to use this piece of paper to make a deal with the Prime Minister, and let Chenggu become the grain production base. What's wrong?
Because the land in Nanxiang is either used to grow mulberry or hemp, or to grow vegetables!
Why do we plant so much mulberry and hemp? Isn’t it because we want to make paper?
Hmm, it’s very logical and there’s nothing wrong with it.
As for why we need to transport woolen cloth to Jincheng...the logistics industry is very profitable, will I tell others?
As Hanzhong becomes more prosperous, coupled with the Northern Expedition in the future, the exchanges with Jincheng will become closer and closer, and logistics transactions between the two places will become more frequent.
In addition, I have a pasture in my hands, and there will definitely be no shortage of transportation animals such as cows and horses in the next few years. The profitable industry of logistics is simply tailor-made for me!
It is unreasonable not to engage in logistics!
In the future, we will come up with a slogan and call it Dongfeng Express. The mission will be achieved!
So it is necessary to prepare in advance now. It is still necessary to train the transportation team first.
It's just Xiao Jiujiu in Feng Tubao's heart, but he can't explain it to his brothers for the time being.
Fortunately, Feng Tubao brought his brothers all the way and never made any mistakes, so he will understand later when he talks about it. They only think that they may be ignorant and cannot understand his brother's plan for the time being.
In the eyes of the brothers, Feng Tubao was so blind that it was terrifying.
The most important point is that Feng Tubou bullied the ancients for not knowing about currency and had quietly begun to develop his own credit system.
The woolen cloth is its guarantee of credit, and its unique papermaking and printing technology are its guarantee of anti-counterfeiting.
Since it was a credit guarantee, Adou got the first dividend voucher and tried to ask Xiao Huangmen to take one to pick up the goods, and he quickly picked it up.
Seeing a hundred horses of fine wool piled up in his palace, Adou was as excited as he was when he picked up a bamboo horse for the first time and ran to play house with Zhang Xingcai when he was a child.
At this time, the woolen cloth can be circulated as hard currency, that is, a kind of currency. How can you make Adou, who never has any money on hand, not be excited?
Looking at the pile of woolen cloth notes in my hand, I was sure that one piece was worth one hundred pieces of woolen cloth.
This feeling is really...refreshing!
Even Zhang Xingcai, who had always been very cautious, couldn't hold back her breath. She touched the felt cloth in disbelief. The touch on her hand was very good, telling her that it was true.
Even she, who is as noble as a queen, has only seen this kind of material from her sister.
Because Zhang Xingyi’s winter clothes are made of this material.
The emperor and the queen looked at each other and saw the joyful light in each other's eyes.
What Adou thinks is that with this money, if the palace wants to add something in the future, it will no longer have to look at people's faces.
What Zhang Xingcai was thinking was, with this ticket, who in the palace would be as tough as her in the future? If anyone doesn't accept it, use this ticket to throw it at her until she accepts it!
Just when the most distinguished couple of the Han Dynasty were immersed in the joy of getting rich overnight, someone from the palace came to report that the Prime Minister had come to the palace to see His Majesty.
At that moment, Adou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. His first reaction was to glance at Mao Bu, and at the same time he lost his voice and said, "Why is your father-in-law so well-informed?! Queen, what should I do?"
This guy thought his father-in-law was coming to rob him.
Zhang Xingcai is much calmer.
"The reason why Xiangfu came here may not be for this matter. Besides, these things are my concubine's private property. Xiangfu will not even rob my concubine's private property. This is unreasonable."
"Yeah!"
Upon hearing this, Adou said in agreement, "The queen is right. This is the queen's private property. How can it be handed over to others?"
As he said that, he stuffed the notes in Zhang Xingcai's hand, and at the same time thought to himself, Feng Mingwen was really very foresight in assigning this share to the queen's name.
"Even...even the father-in-law can't steal the queen's things, right?"
But as A Dou continued to speak, his tone became more and more guilty.
Zhang Xingcai held the ticket tightly in his hand, and when he turned his hand over, he didn't know where he had hidden it.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be nervous. The court has made a lot of money now and is a lot more comfortable. My father-in-law is not like this. Your Majesty, please relax and see me."
"Okay, then I will go see my father-in-law first. Queen, please be optimistic about this ticket."
With the Queen's encouragement, Adou asked people to adjust his clothes and went out.
“Your Majesty, I have something to say. I beg your Majesty to listen to it.”
Although Adou thought that his father-in-law would not come to **** the queen's things, when he heard his father-in-law say these words, he was frightened and subconsciously wanted to say, I...can I not listen?
