The first thousand and six hundred and six chapters are difficult

In the eastern suburbs, on the banks of the Luoshui River, the air here is fresh, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, lush and the scenery is charming. I saw two old men sitting among the pavilions in the middle of the mountain, and there were seven or eight plainclothes guards standing around.

These two people are Lu Chengqing and Master Xu.

"well!"

Facing such a beautiful scenery, Master Xu didn't intend to take a look more, but instead sighed, "It's really a mountain that can't accommodate two tigers!"

Lu Chengqing said: "My good brother is talking about the dispute between the two Secretariats."

Master Xu nodded and said, "They were all so anxious to return to Chang'an. It seems that they all want to use the various things to decide the outcome."

When Lu Chengqing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh softly, saying: "If it was something else, it would be fine, but this varied and colorful involves all the civil and military officials of the court. If you are not careful, it may lead to a disaster!"

Master Xu said, "Brother Lu, you and I are both ministers. Seeing that the court is facing division, can you only sit here, sigh and wait and see if it changes?"

Lu Chengqing frowned and pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I never want to stop it, but you also know Li Zhongshu's character, and he will not stop easily. But as his back, he refused to bow his head first. How can we persuade Du Zhongshu to stop?" Speaking of this, he sighed slightly and said, "To say something ruthless, this is also because His Majesty is too indulging in Li Zhongshu, so that he has reached such an irreversible level now."

Master Xu nodded and said, "It seems that the person who tied the bell is now necessary to untie it. We can only see that Your Majesty intends to calm the storm. The only thing we can do is to support Your Majesty's decision."

"That's all!" Lu Chengqing sighed helplessly and suddenly said, "But to be honest, I admire Han Yi very much."

Master Xu said in surprise: "How do you say this?"

Lu Chengqing said: "Every time he encounters such a thing, the people in the court and the country are in panic. Only our Minister of Revenue can turn a blind eye to the outside world. You see, since he took office in the Ministry of Revenue, although small quarrels have often occurred, the Ministry of Revenue has never been involved in any conflicts. What's even more wonderful is that he said he was neutral, so no one dared to offend him easily, for fear that he would stand on the other side. Now his popularity in the court is quite good, much better than Li Yifu, Du Zhenglun, Xu Jingzong and others. This is a world of difference from the beginning. We have to study and study with him."

Master Xu nodded and smiled, "Brother Lu's words are reasonable."

The Li and Du disputes were not actually because of the varied and uninterrupted matters, but never stopped. Du Zhenglun's several attacks on Li Yi's mansion failed, and Li Yi's mansion also remembered them in his heart, but the varied and incest brought the two to a climax, or in other words, the battle between them must be decided. Because Li Yi's mansion took advantage of the varied and incest, its power in the court increased greatly, and Du Zhenglun could not let it continue like this, and would inevitably come out to stop it.

Of course, both sides are unwilling to give in. If Li Yifu backs, then Du Zhenglun will have to streamline the officials and will definitely drive all his people out. It does not mean that he will be in vain. Du Zhenglun will not give in. It is Li Yifu who will break the balance. If Li Yifu is not stopped, he will be undermined by Li Yifu. In addition, this matter must be resolved, and Li Zhi cannot avoid it, and everyone must face it.

Of course, the same as before is that Han Yi completely ignored this, as if he was in another different dimension, and had been discussing the reform of the canal transportation with Yan Liben these days at the manor.

Today, Han Yi gave herself a day off and planned to go back to Beixiang to see what Xiaopang and the others were doing.

"See Shangshu Han."

As soon as Han Yi got off the carriage, a person suddenly rushed out from the side and bowed respectfully to him.

Han Yi looked at the man and saw that he was about forty years old, with a thin figure, with a goatee and a familiar face, but he couldn't remember who he was.

Before Han Yi could ask, the man said, "The villain is the shopkeeper of Luoyang Golden Bookstore, Qiu Zhangwen."

"Oh, I remembered it, Manager Qiu."

Han Yi pointed at Qiu Zhangwen and asked with a smile: "How is the business recently?"

The man hurriedly said, "Oh! I asked Mr. Han's blessing. His business has been very good these days, especially the economics written by Mr. Han, which have been sold out. A few days ago, I sent someone to Chang'an, hoping to send more economics from Mr. Han."

I understood, it turned out that he was here to flatter. Han Yi pretended to be surprised and said, "Is that true?"

Qiu Zhangwen nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, Han Shangshu's books are very popular recently."

Han Yi nodded with a smile. Of course he knew that this was really a blessing for him. The battle he had started before also included the Six Sages of the Sages. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and the enemy can you win every battle. If you want to attack or maintain the Six Sages of the Sages, you have to work hard to study it. This is what he hopes to see. Qiu Zhangwen just wanted to inform Han Yi of the news, after all, this is a good thing!

Han Yi's heart is as clear as a mirror, so he just praised him for a few words.

Qiu Zhangwen was praised by Han Yi, and he was full of joy.

After talking to Qiu Zhangwen for a few words, Han Yi went to Wu Wenxuan's house.

"Ono, Brother Shen, is it good-looking?"

When he came to the front yard, he heard Xiong Di's voice, which made Han Yi feel like he was returning home. He looked inside and saw Xiong Di holding a piece of embroidered silk on his body, twisting his fat body, and his expression was very proud.

"Brother Han!"

Ono suddenly saw Han Yi standing in the courtyard and shouted hurriedly.

"Brother Han."

When Xiong saw Han Yi, he seemed very excited. He rushed out and dragged Han Yi into the hall, "Brother Han, this is the silk I just bought, but it is unique to Luoyang, but there is no other place. I plan to make a piece of clothing for you. Will you try it out?"

Without waiting for Han Yi to come back to his senses, Xiong Bi took some silk and gestured on Han Yi. "Ono, is it good-looking?"

Ono nodded with a smile.

Shen Xiao, who was lying on the couch, shook his feet and said with a smile: "This silk looks good, but if you wear it on Han Yi, it will be a waste."

Han Yi's face darkened, "How many do you mean?"

Shen Xiao said, "Am I wrong? You are a person who gets up early every day, comes from water and fire, and any good clothes you wear will be ruined."

"Yes, when did you become so honest? It's so sad!" Han Yi glared at Shen Xiao with annoyance and said, "But I'm going to ruin it, what's going on? I have money, can't I afford to ruin it? Humph!"

Brother Xiong suddenly hurriedly put away the silk.

Han Yi was stunned and said, "Xiao Pang, what's going on with you?"

Brother Xiong curled his lips and said, "Instead of letting you ruin it, I might as well give it to Brother Xuandao."

Han Yi blinked and said quickly: "Xiaopang, you misunderstood. I am very grateful to you for your kindness. I was so angry that this surname is Chen. I brought it, bring it, and we will rely on it for the new clothes for the New Year."

I laughed loudly when I heard it.

Brother Xiong glanced at him, "Take it serious?"

Han Yi rolled his eyes and said, "You are so smart, who can deceive you?"

"That's true." Brother Xiong laughed and said, "Actually, you can use this silk, Brother Han, because I also bought a piece of silk for my elder sister. This is the best silk in Luoyang. You can weave this little bit every year, and the embroidery every year is different, but it is unique."

Wow! Yes! You will help your elder brother make couple outfits! Han Yi immediately said, "Hey, you must not give this to others, especially Wang Xuandao, be careful that I will turn against you."

Brother Xiong nodded straight.

Han Yi walked to the couch and waved at Chen Xiao and said, "Go and let me lie down first, I'm almost exhausted."

"Let's sleep together." He said with a deep smile.

"Get out! I don't have this habit!"

He laughed and stood up, walked aside and sat down. He saw that this guy was not tied or tied from his hair to his clothes, and he was like a prodigal son.

Han Yi first patted the couch and then lay down, "It's so comfortable!"

Brother Xiong came over again and asked, "Brother Han, do you want to drink? I just bought some good wine."

"This is a must!" Han Yi said, and said again: "Wow! How many things have you bought?"

"But quite a lot!"

Brother Xiong laughed and immediately ran to bring a small jar of wine, and carefully poured Han Yi a glass.

After Han Yi tasted it, he slapped his mouth, "Good wine! Good wine! This wine has to be tasted until it is free. The wine I drink in the manor is simply medicine. Even if I want to use alcohol to relieve my sorrow, it will become a self-inflicted person."

He smiled and looked at him, saying, "You were asking for trouble. Now you are the Minister of Revenue. You have a wealthy family and a beautiful wife at home. If I were you, I would not be the Minister of Revenue. As you said, you must have a happy life. Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty. Otherwise, you will resign as the Minister of Revenue, let us brothers go outside and walk a few times, look at the magnificent mountains and rivers of my Tang Dynasty, and look at the charming women in various places. Isn't that great?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "If I have the same virtue as you, first of all, the Xiao family will not even let me in. Again, my wealth of wealth has been confiscated long ago. I also resigned as the Minister of Revenue. If I want to resign as the Minister of Revenue, if I can't leave Luoyang, my brothers will have to be thrown into the oil pan to squeeze oil. It's also magnificent, and the charming woman can only float in the air to watch."

Having said that, he couldn't help but ask himself whether he had come to this point today out of helplessness or voluntary. After thinking about it, he thought that although there was helplessness, it was mainly out of voluntaryness. With his personality, he would enjoy it very much when he went out to slept for a few months and relaxed. But if he wanted to slept every day, he would be bored and he had to find some exciting things for himself. In fact, he was very obsessed with the pleasure of successful tasks.

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "You are not unreasonable. After all, you have offended so many people. OK, keep doing it, let's have fun for you."

"What a good brother!" Han Yi said twice, and said again: "Have you had fun these days?"

Brother Xiong said, "Brother Han, you haven't played with us these days. That's a pity. There are many fun places in Luoyang. We are planning to visit Luoshui and eat river food tomorrow. Are you going?"

Han Yi was very moved when he heard this and immediately said, "Go, of course."

But his dream was soon shattered. In the evening, Yan Liben sent someone to inform him that Yuan Zhe, Dou Heng, Zou Fengchi, and Zheng Shanxing had returned.

The next day, he could only look at Chen Xiao, Brother Xiong and Ono went out to wander, while he rushed to the manor with pain.

Although the four major groups did not agree at the beginning, Han Yiquan said that when they had agreed, any plan he made during this period would count the four major groups.

This is true. The four major groups cannot refuse. No matter whether there are any traps in it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you refuse, Han Yi can find someone else. You should know that their four major groups were all created by Han Yi. For Han Yi, it is not difficult to support another one. But they did not say that they would completely let it go. They just agreed to participate, but the specific details still have to be discussed in detail.

But after the four major groups are in place, they can do something specifically, not just empty plans.

The first thing to solve is the Sanmenshan Warehouse. Yan Liben's construction drawing has been designed and the scale is unprecedented. First, a second warehouse is set up on the east and west river banks, which happens to be both ends of the path. The main purpose is to bypass Sanmenshan, the goods arrive in front of Sanmenshan, and be discharged directly to the east warehouse, and then transported to the west warehouse by land, and then loaded to Chang'an.

Then, drawing circles with the diameter of the small path and building a circle of warehouses belongs to the court. However, after confirming the construction plan, Han Yi and the two major groups in Guanzhong and Shandong verbally reached a 20-year long-term rental agreement. In exchange, the roads where the warehouse is located were invested and built, and the main investor was long-term transportation, because transshipment was the most beneficial to him. In addition, all the materials consumed by the warehouse were provided by Luoyang.

Since you want to be in charge of this warehouse in Luoyang, you must pay the price. If the money is all treasury expenditure, why should you Luoyang manage it? The court sends people to manage it themselves.

Li Feng and the others agreed very readily. According to the spirit of the contract, the exchange of interests must be equal. One party has no effort. This contract is a piece of waste paper.

Even the donkey carts needed in the warehouse are all transferred from the surrounding warehouses here, and there is no need to add them.

According to Han Yi's plan, this place is not just a transit station, it comes from a warehouse. If Taicang does not need food in urgent need, the food will be placed here, because bypassing Sanmen Mountain, there is only a hundred miles of waterway from Tongguankou, which is very close. When the food arrives here, you can send it to Taicang at any time.

It is equivalent to calculating that the imperial court built this warehouse concentration site, and the treasury only needed to allocate the fees for hiring people, but all the rent belongs to the treasury. Although it belongs to Luoyang, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely be involved.

This is because the treasury does not have much money, especially this part of the money is not within the budget. Moreover, the treasury has to allocate shipping fees to Guanzhong and Shandong Group in the early stage. It is difficult for the warehouse to make a profit at once and must be invested in the early stage. Han Yi tried his best to use the court's own advantages to exchange interests with all parties.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that one-third of the ships of the entire Grand Canal will be resold to Changyun and Wanli this year. Changyun and Wanli need to build ship docks at several important entrances to the Grand Canal, the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Huai River. Warehouses must be built wherever docks are built, because according to Han Yi's plan, ships must be designed according to the situation of the river. If you build a dock at the entrance, you can take into account both ends, and the entrance is the node, and the sign of the node is the warehouse. In addition, letting a lot of ships is equivalent to handing over the grain to Guanzhong and Shandong for transportation.

Because Changyun and Wanli cannot pay the ship's capital in one lump sum, because they have to invest in building a shipyard, and they really can't afford it. They owe all the money and pay it back within five years. Han Yi is expected to allocate 100,000 guan from the treasury as the start-up freight. First of all, he has to ensure that Guanzhong is profitable and that the transaction can continue, but the money will be repaid soon.

It took a full month to discuss these things.

None of the four major groups are fools. Your plan is so complicated, so of course everyone has to calculate the interests clearly.

It can be seen that this boss is not an easy job, especially if you are just a housekeeper, you not only have to fool the people below, but also take care of the feelings of the people above.
