Chapter 914 Bureaucracy
Wei and Wu relied on aristocratic families and took aristocratic families as their foundation.
The Han Dynasty broke through the shackles of the aristocratic family.
Over the years, Governor Feng and the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty have been willing to give up their monopoly status in profit-making industries such as wool and brown sugar, and guide the aristocratic families of Shu to join.
It is to break the situation where aristocratic families control the country’s food channels.
Why do we have to engage in grain trading?
Compared with buying and selling grain, isn’t it more profitable to trade in woolen materials, brown sugar, honey, and wine?
Grain trading is a business that is not easy to make money and easy to lose money. Even if it is profitable, the profit is small. Everyone should stop doing it and just leave it to the state.
Governor Feng was rejoicing and thinking. After a while, he continued:
"Let me go back and talk about this matter. Well, think about it carefully. You can stay at home first and I will discuss it with you in two days."
If you are not sure about military matters, ask the chief minister; if you are not sure about political affairs, ask the junior officer.
Governor Feng quickly ran back to the backyard and asked someone to go to the secretariat to ask Xiaosi to come back.
As a result, the servants reminded me that today was a day off, and my wife took everyone to the amusement park to bask in the sun.
Just then Feng Jishi realized what he was doing and hurriedly walked towards a yard specially set aside for his daughter to play.
Before entering the yard, I could already hear Shuangshuang’s unique screams.
Turning into the arched door, I saw Zhang Xingyi, Amei and three of them playing happily on the swing.
The swing they play on is not the kind of swing that ordinary people play on.
Instead, a five-foot-high hardwood was erected in an open space in the yard as the axis, and then a nearly three-foot wooden pole was used, with a round hole drilled in the middle, and placed horizontally on the axis wood.
Handrails and waist protectors are specially added at both ends of the pole to prevent it from accidentally falling during play.
But I saw Zhang Xiaosi on the other end of the ball taking a power-up, and then quickly crawled on the head of the pole, rising and falling with the rotation of the pole.
On the other side, Amei, who had both pairs tied to his back, kicked hard again when his feet landed on the ground, and the club head rotated high again.
Both of them waved their chubby hands and screamed with excitement.
Seeing Zhang Xiaosi and Amei taking turns rising into the air, Governor Feng couldn't help but feel frightened.
When Amei first made this thing, Governor Feng originally wanted to demolish it.
However, the main wife of the Feng family likes to play with this kind of excitement. The Feng family's legitimate daughter, who has the blood of General Guan, actually dared to play with this kind of swing at a young age.
She even enjoys it, and it is her second-ranked toy.
The first one is the carousel that is actually pulled by Liangzhou ponies.
With his arms unable to twist his thighs, Governor Feng could only cut off one-third of the height of the axis wood.
Fortunately, there were no high-rise buildings in this era, and the land was vast and sparsely populated, allowing Governor Feng to build such a simplified version of the amusement park.
Li Mu held Ah Shun in his arms and stood far away. Sometimes he lowered his head to tease Ah Shun and then looked up at the three people who were having a good time. A smile appeared on his face.
The fierce atmosphere of the Han Dynasty still exists in the world. Li Mu, who was born as the legitimate daughter of a noble family, climbed up several times and had a great time without outsiders.
The most bitter one is Ah Chong.
Because beside him, there was an grandmother holding a bamboo whip, supervising his horse walking with a straight face.
Unexpectedly, his sister’s happy cheers reached his ears from time to time, making him feel like his whole body was crawling with bugs.
“Are you biased?”
Governor Feng couldn't see Ah Chong being so uncomfortable, so he walked over and tried to persuade him, "Why are you leaving one to play and forcing the other to practice?"
"Can it be the same?" Guan Ji rolled her eyes at Feng Jishi, "They are both daughters, and Ah Chong is the eldest son of the family!"
"Besides, let the two of them practice martial arts this morning. They have already practiced martial arts. Ah Chong can't get several postures right. Who else should I punish?"
The governor Feng stopped talking.
Shuangshuang did inherit her mother's talent for martial arts.
Let's just say Ah Chong is unlucky today. Anyway, in the knowledge test tomorrow morning, Ah Chong will definitely come back.
Even though both of them are laughing happily now, they will probably cry tomorrow morning.
Giving his son a look that said, "Don't be afraid, kid, adults are here to save you." Governor Feng turned his head and shouted:
"Si Niang, stop playing around, come down quickly, it's urgent!"
“Just call me with all your might!”
“If something really happens, it’s still a major event in Jingzhou.”
Hearing this, even Guan Ji came over with concern.
Jingzhou is a name that will be unforgettable to her throughout her life.
Governor Feng coughed and waved his hand to Ah Chong:
“Go and play with your sister, sir, I have something to say.”
As soon as Ah Chong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and ran away quickly.
"What's the matter? Do you have to go there in person?"
“Remember what I said about Jingzhou’s grain before?”
“Remember, but isn’t this something that will only be implemented in the next few years?”
Feng Yong sighed, "It's too late, the progress over there is too fast."
Then he told everything.
Upon hearing this, Guan Ji frowned, and then subconsciously looked at Zhang Xingyi.
Zhang Xiaosi's current status is that of the number one think tank in the governor's office.
Zhang Xingyi blinked, "Is this Jingzhou family really so greedy?"
Looking at it, I knew that after all, husband and wife are connected, exactly like what I just said.
“Let’s not worry about whether we are greedy or not. We will just talk about how to deal with it now. Otherwise, it will really drag on for two or three years and things will change easily. If Wu State reacts, it will be in trouble.”
Feng Jishi said with some distress.
"What's not easy to deal with?" Zhang Xiaosi rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a way to delay, "It's a big deal for the Wu State to buy so much grain from the Han Dynasty."
"Such a big thing can't just be done, right? The court has to discuss it, how to buy it, how much to buy, how to transport it out of Shu, how to contact it, don't we have to discuss all of this!"
“Let them send people over, and we’ll send people over, and we’ll talk slowly. It would be good to have a result this year.”
Fuck!
Zhang Zhuge, your delaying method captures the essence of bureaucracy!
Feng Jishi was praised as a great benefactor.
"After this year, the big man can squeeze out some of the grain next year and make a show first. After all, Jingzhou will have to buy grain every year from now on, so we have to be careful when doing it. Isn't this another year?"
“I’m afraid that if the delay is too long, Wu Guoguo will become suspicious...”
"What are you doubting? It's not obvious that Jingzhou is short of food." Zhang Xiaosi said plausibly, "If it doesn't work, let the Jingzhou family raise the price of food."
“The price of food has gone up, doesn’t it mean that food is becoming more and more tense?”
With food shortages, wouldn’t it be even more necessary to buy food from the Han Dynasty?
Guan Ji took a deep look at Zhang Xiaosi.
He suddenly asked: "Are they willing? If they drive up the price of food, the price of the food sold to them by the big man will also increase!"
“What’s there to worry about? Isn’t it just a yin and yang price?”
Zhang Xiaosi said that he had been following a certain big profiteer for a long time, and at least he knew a little about things like buying and selling.
“At that time, we will pay one price on the surface, but secretly give another price to the cooperating families. Will they tell this matter for a variety of sugar cane?”
Feng Jishi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled strangely:
“I remember that after Sun Quan became emperor, he has been minting big money, right?”
Due to frequent wars, Wei State was the first to abolish currency transactions. It was not until Cao Rui took power that the five-baht currency was restored.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, minted Zhibai coins and circulated them in parallel with the five baht coins.
Later, Governor Feng used various bills issued by the Nanxiang Reserve Bureau to play a great role in stabilizing the economy of the Han Dynasty.
It was not until the Nanzhong Copper Mine officially began to produce output that Dahan's economy officially returned to normal.
As for Wu State, it is running wildly on the road of inflation and has never stopped.
Before Sun Quan became emperor, he had already cast the "Daquan Fifty" in Wuchang.
Thinking of this, Governor Feng's smile became warmer and warmer.
