Chapter 121 Economic aggression
Guan Wei knew that this truth could not be understood with these stubborn literati. If you reason with them, they are also for the sake of the country and the country, but they are completely unreasonable, and they are inevitably entangled.
So he was not mentioning this matter, but asked Chen Zai for some advice on being an official and then about his own affairs in Anshun Army.
Kaifeng Prefecture manages the huge Kaifeng, and there are many things. Zhao Yuanzuo is not here, and it is all up to Chen Zai and Zhang Quhua to preside over it. They also have many things. Guan Wei and Chen Zai talked for a while, then got up to say goodbye.
Chen Zai kept sending them out of the door before he parted. Guan Wei had something to do, so he sent his eighth sister and ninth sister back to Tianbo Mansion and gave them all the things he had on his body.
"This is bought for Yingzi, why did you give it to us?"
Guan Wei smiled and said, "Besides Yingzi, she is a child, and she uses rouge and jewelry. And these foods will be broken when I go back. These are originally intended to be given to you."
The eighth sister and ninth sister blushed and said they were going to buy things for Yingzi, but in the end they forgot everything themselves.
"Looking back, Yingzi, I'm going to buy it for her. The eighth sister and the ninth sister will go back first. I'll see you in two days. Let's take your leave, let's take your leave!" Guan Wei said, bowed his fists, turned around and left.
Eighth Sister and Nine Sister stretched their necks at the door and looked out from behind.
"What are you two doing here?" A serious cold snorted from behind.
The eighth sister and the ninth sister were so scared that they shivered, and a lot of things fell to the ground with a rush.
"Dad, you, when will you come back?" Eighth Sister and Jiu Mei looked back and saw that they were their father Yang Ye standing behind them, so scared that they were shy.
"I just came back today. If you two are not practicing martial arts at home and reviewing your homework, why are you running around?" He looked outside and saw the backs of Guan Wei and Chang Jin.
"Do you know that person?"
The eighth sister and the ninth sister shook their heads quickly, but the other nodded silently.
"Do you know it?"
This time, one of the two sisters turned into nodding and the other turned into shaking their heads.
"Hmph!" Yang Ye was so angry that his beard shook and he cursed: "No matter whether you knew him before or not, don't see him again in the future."
"Why?" Sister Eighth did not look like Sister Ninth. She was straightforward and refuted at that time.
"This is a bold and arrogant person. What will happen in the future? It will inevitably implicate our family. No one in the Yang family is allowed to have any contact with him."
"Why do we say that people are bold and reckless? If they are not bold and reckless, I will have no father. I also said who will implicate the Yang family? Why are we accepted as disciples by my mother in Lishan? How did the eldest brother become the commander of the Anshun Army and the Three Passes Defensive Envoy? Isn't it all thanks to others?"
"Bastard! You bold and ignorant girl! I won't beat you to death!" Yang Ye was furious when he heard this and raised his hand to beat him.
Sister Ba is a straightforward person. She thrust her body and was not moved at all. Sister Jiu was frightened and hurriedly hugged Yang Ye's hand, constantly winking at Sister Ba, asking her to apologize to her father.
The eighth sister snorted coldly and was unmoved at all. Yang Ye was even more furious and wanted to teach this disobedient daughter a lesson. Sister Jiu tried her best to hold on to her. The old man ignored Yang Hong's fault when he saw it, so he quickly ran back to the back hall to invite the old lady.
"Stop!" The old lady knew that something was wrong, so she ran out quickly and shouted and pulled the father and daughter away.
"What's wrong with this? Master, stop first, Sister Ba, you get up too! Look at this at the door, let's talk about it later."
Yang Ye was so angry that his beard and hair stood up. Sister Ba was dissatisfied and they entered the back hall of the Yang family together.
"The master sat down first. No matter what happens, let's calm down first. You father and daughter are really not bad at all. They are both stubborn. Is there anything I can't say well? You have finally come back, and you're angry with Sister Eighth."
"Ask your baby daughter!" Yang Ye snorted coldly.
"Sister Ba, you said."
"I don't know what's going on? My father got angry at us when he came back, and said that Brother Guan was bold and reckless, which would definitely implicate the Yang family. I just decided a few words and it turned out like this."
"It's for Guan Wei again." The old lady sighed inwardly. This matter was a bit difficult. Her master decided that Guan Wei was a rebel, but his two daughters were attracted to him. What should I do if this matter can be changed?
"Master, I have seen Guan Wei, I am not a rude person. Don't generalize it by any means." Taijun said that he would get angry when he saw Yang Ye here, and said to his sister: "Sister Ba, you are so young, and your ability to recognize people is much worse than your father.
Since your father said that, don’t be stubborn, practice martial arts and study poetry and books at home. After a while, let’s see what Guan Wei does.”
After hearing this, Yang Ye nodded slightly. After a long time, he would naturally recognize someone. Sister Yang Ba was able to accept this proposal. Guan Wei and his elder brother are friends and work together, so he would definitely say good things for Guan Wei.
The two of them's faces calmed down, which made the old lady feel relieved.
"Go and get that jar of dilute and vermicelli!" the old lady laughed.
"What is dinosaur?" Yang Ye asked in surprise.
"A kind of wine brewed by Guan Wei! Whoever is unhappy can refuse to drink it!" The eighth sister's words made the old lady look at her and she had to lower her head.
The matters of the Yang family were finally over, but Guan Wei didn't know about it. He asked Chang Jin to go back to the inn to rest and went to the prince's mansion alone.
"Zizheng, I was about to find someone to find you, but I didn't expect that you came first. We didn't say anything deeply yesterday, and we are discussing it carefully today. I have asked someone to prepare the wine and food, so let's have a good drink."
Guan Wei's face changed after hearing this: "Your Highness is really hard to drink. Let's talk and drink less!"
Zhao Yuanzuo laughed and said, "To be honest, your wine is really amazing. I still feel a little uncomfortable. Forget it, I won't drink it today. I will have an appointment with Cao Laosi and Fan Yanzhao tomorrow, let's have another drink!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your tolerance." Guan Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and the two returned to their positions.
Zhao Yuanzuo took out the Ping Liao Ce again and said, "Come on, let's talk about Ping Liao Ce again. I have never heard of your strategy. If I convince me, I can convince the officials."
Guan Wei still had great hope for this. Although Zhao Guangyi was beaten so brave, if he didn't let him send a soldier, he would be able to weaken the enemy. He would definitely support him!
Guan Wei took a sip of tea and felt a fragrance. He couldn't help but clicked his mouth and said, "It's really worthy of being a tribute from the court, good tea! good tea!"
"Don't talk nonsense. If you like it, wait until the matter is done. I can give you a few more boxes."
"Then I would like to thank Your Highness! In fact, to strengthen this economic invasion, I will first tell you what economy is. In our understanding, the economy is to manage the world and benefit the people, govern the country and pacify the world. In fact, this is the revenge of scholars?
If there is another explanation in business, it is: people produce, circulate, distribute and consume all substances. For example, our dinosaur ends from brewing, transporting, and selling to being drunk."
Zhao Yuanzuo was slightly stunned, wondering what he was going to say?
Guan Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness, to be honest, the production capacity of the Liao Kingdom is very low, and many products need to be purchased from our Song Dynasty. So there is a lot of room for operation.
Let’s take this dinosaur as an example. I can be sure that once the Liao people come into contact with him, they will never quit and will become a necessity in their lives.
Then we can sell various levels of dinosaur to the Liao Kingdom, completely destroying the Liao Kingdom's winemaking industry. In the future, the Liao people would have dinosaur, but they would not even drink other wines.
In this way, their lives will be completely restrained with us, and we can threaten them at any time to surrender and be forced to sell us strategic materials such as war horses, food, etc.
Of course, dinosaur is just one of them, and there are many things we can use to impact the Liao market. For example, the tea leaves in His Highness and some books and scriptures are very popular among the Liao people.
When they find that the things they bought from our Song Dynasty were cheaper and more exquisite than what they produced themselves. Will they still buy goods from their own country?
No one buys the things they produce themselves, and no one will produce them. They can only rely entirely on our Song Dynasty and become our vassals."
Guan Wei's words made Zhao Yuanzuo feel very reasonable, and he had no way to refute it, but he was a little unbelievable.
"Zizheng, can you control a country so simply?"
"Simple? Your Highness, it's not simple at all? I just mentioned that the economy includes: production, circulation, distribution, and consumption. The current logistics and transportation costs are really too high! In the past, the cost of transportation of goods would have increased several times. If the price was higher than that of the Liao Kingdom, how could it impact their production? And we have a hostile relationship with the Liao Kingdom. How can we open up their market?"
"Hiss--" Zhao Yuanzuo felt that this guy was inconsistent in his words and wanted to overturn his judgment again.
Guan Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness, our products can be divided into two types. One is a high-priced product like Daigou and nectar. I am not afraid of high transportation costs. Anyway, they are added to the cost to make the Liao people pay for it. The other is a product with small profits and quick turnover. What we need to do is to reduce the freight costs or reduce its production costs."
"How to reduce this?" Zhao Yuanzuo asked in a hurry.
"Changing the transportation method and changing land transportation to sea transportation can greatly reduce costs. Improving your own craft production level and reducing costs is also a way.
