Chapter 1754 Youth is an advantage

Han Yi went home to keep mourning. According to the rules, he could not meet guests. People who are tactful will not disturb Han Yi.

But Han Yi is different. The development of the entire Yangzhou is closely related to Han Yi. As the governor of Yangzhou, Yang Zhanfei has to meet Han Yi for a good talk no matter what.

Today, Yang Zhanfei personally sent Yang Feixue back.

"Where are Han Yi, Sister Wuyi and the others?"

"I taught Han Xuanpin and Han Rui to study in the backyard."

"Is that right? Then I'll go over and take a look."

Of course, Yang Feixue knew that Yang Zhanfei had something to discuss with Han Yi, so she went to the backyard very tactfully.

As soon as she left, Yang Zhanfei smiled at Han Yi and said, "Don't bother me, I have no choice."

"If you don't come again, I'm going to find you." Han Yi smiled and shook her head, then reached out and said, "Please sit down."

The weather is good today, so Han Yi did not invite Yang Zhanfei to sit in the house, so the two of them sat down in the yard.

Yang Zhanfei said curiously: "What's wrong with you in a hurry to find me?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "I didn't come alone. I have brought so many people back. They are not here to help my father keep mourning."

Yang Zhanfei smiled and said, "Is it about Gu Qingcheng and the others?"

"Why are all women in your eyes? I, Feng Feilou, have a branch here, so how can they worry about them? It's mainly the Sixth Academy of Sages." Han Yi said: "Don't say you haven't received my letter."

Yang Zhanfei was embarrassed and said, "This is just a small matter. I have already arranged it for you. I will take you to see it another day."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Why don't you know what governor Yang thinks is a big deal?"

Yang Zhanfei hurriedly said: "What I mean is not that the Sixth Academy of Sages is a small matter. I mean that this matter is very simple, at least compared to the development of Yangzhou."

Han Yi smiled and said, "But I think Yangzhou is developing very well."

Yang Zhanfei sighed: "On the surface, it has developed well, but in fact, there are many problems. Although Yangzhou is the most prosperous in Jiangnan, it is not the fastest economic development in Jiangnan. Do you know which state your business plan has the best development?"

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it Yangzhou? I always thought it was Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou has developed well because Yangzhou is a transit station for the canal, but it is not the state with the best commercial development."

"Which state is that?"

"It's Luzhou (Hangzhou area)."

"Luzhou?"

Han Yi pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Isn't Luzhou the base camp for Chen Shuozhen to rebel?"

"You're really talking about this." Yang Zhanfei said: "It is precisely because of Chen Shuozhen that Luzhou has developed the best."

I don’t know how that woman is now? Han Yi couldn’t help but miss Chen Shuozhen.

When Yang Zhanfei saw Han Yi lowering his eyebrows, he said curiously: "What are you?"

Han Yi was stunned and said, "It's nothing, I just feel more surprised."

Yang Zhanfei smiled and said, "You are so smart, can't you even understand this?"

Please! I want the woman to go! Han Yi pondered for a moment and said, "What you want to talk about is the landlord and the squire."

"That's right." Yang Zhanfei said: "Chen Shuozhen rebelled and killed many people, including local gentry and landlords. The landlords and gentry who followed her to rebel at that time were later annihilated by the court, resulting in the landlords in Luzhou's gentry being very weak, and the local people are still in the process of restoration. As soon as your business plan arrived in Luzhou, it was immediately recognized by the people. The best porcelain workshops and silk workshops in Jiangnan were all built in Luzhou, not Yangzhou.

This is because we saved Yangzhou, and the gentry and landlord forces of Yangzhou were not affected. At the beginning, Chang'an goods came to Yangzhou and were very popular, but as more and more goods entered Yangzhou, many merchants were supported, which aroused the alertness of local gentry and landlords. They believed that merchants threatened their status. However, at that time, this was the general trend, so they were just secretly blocking the development of merchants, such as restricting the people from coming to the city to work, and attacking merchants in public opinion.

Although they could not stop the goods from Chang'an from coming to Yangzhou, they hindered the development of local merchants in Yangzhou, because many merchants also came out of the countryside and had to return to their hometowns. Some merchants had to surrender under the authority of gentry. The development of Yangzhou can be said to have reached a bottleneck. What worries me the most is that you have resigned from your official position. Yangzhou's development was good in the past, mainly because you, the people of Yangzhou admire you very much. They think your policy is the policy of Yangzhou people and helps Yangzhou, but now, you may be fine."

Yuan Mudan also mentioned this issue earlier, which shows that this is inevitable, not accidental. Those landlords and gentry are not stupid. How could they see the rise of merchants? They are not unwilling to transform, but many of them have already had fixed thinking. They cannot compete with the newly rising merchants in the business world for the market. Then their only way is to stop the new policy, suppress merchants, and not make merchants too strong.

Although under Han Yi's policy, business developed like a boom, the Tang Dynasty was still a genuine agricultural empire, not a commercial empire, and the gap between the two was still very large.

Yang Zhanfei relied entirely on Han Yi's policies to gain a foothold in Yangzhou. If it were to develop agriculture, many people would do better than him. After all, he was too young and had little experience. Therefore, the development of business is closely linked to his career, and he felt very anxious about this situation.

After hearing this, Han Yi was meditating and silent.

Yang Zhanfei was not in a hurry, and sat aside and waited quietly because he had to rely entirely on Han Yi. He had to have a way, so he had done it long ago, so why wait until today?

After a while, Han Yi suddenly said, "Even if I have not resigned, this powerful dragon cannot suppress the local snake. The gentry is a very important part of my Tang Dynasty and is indispensable. I have no choice but to do anything to them."

Yang Zhanfei said: "But we always have to find ways to break through this bottleneck."

Han Yi said: "You are right, but you are not in a hurry to do this. We are all very young, and this is our advantage."

Yang Zhanfei asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "You can't understand those old landlords and gentry, because merchants are deeply rooted in their impressions. But young people are different. Compared to business, agriculture is really boring. Young people like to play and will never be satisfied with sitting by the fields and watching tenant farmers farming land. And everyone, young people want to get rich overnight. As long as we can attract young people, the future belongs to us."

Yang Zhanfei said: "But they even control their own villagers, let alone their descendants."

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "It should be said that they can control the villagers, but they definitely cannot control their descendants. The villagers have no money or culture and can only rely on them. But their descendants are rich and cultured, so who can control them? In fact, this situation has also happened in Chang'an, but Chang'an has become very prosperous under the construction of merchants. You should know that Chang'an has built three more large markets."

Yang Zhanfei nodded.

Han Yi said again: "In Chang'an, whether it is the children of officials or the children of high families, most of them oppose me, but their bodies are honest, they will still go to new markets to play, and the market was born under the commercial civilization. After they arrived at the market, many ideas changed. Many young people from the Yuwen family, the He Ruo family, the Zhang family, and the Wang family have begun to do business and achieved great success. Now the aristocrats in Chang'an are the older generation who stick to their family business and traditions, allowing their children and grandchildren to do business, and they are not left behind.

The same can be done in Yangzhou. Investing in the market makes the market more prosperous and attracting villagers to trade in the market. This is something that the gentry cannot limit, because farmers also need to exchange. What is the most attractive in the market is of course the entertainment industry, such as brothels and the newly born theaters. And these things are the most attractive to young people. Just as I brought a group of talents from Fengfei Tower. In the near future, Yangzhou will definitely set off an entertainment trend, and it will bring many industries. The market will become more prosperous. People always yearn for prosperity. The villagers and young people have arrived at the market. Then we can overcome this bottleneck smoothly."

Yang Zhanfei said: "So just copy the set in Chang'an, build a market, build an amusement park, and build a grand theater?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

Yang Zhanfei frowned and said, "But the government does not have that much money."

Han Yi smiled and said, "You can find a businessman to invest! Xiaopang will build a larger Xiaopang group here. The Yuan family also plans to expand investment in Yangzhou, and I will also invest, but I will not come forward. In terms of construction, you can hand it over to Meicun, which I can also help them. In addition, to expand business, it is not enough to just a corner of Yangzhou. Since Luzhou's workshops are developing well, you should discuss with the Luzhou governor to concentrate all the workshops of Jiangnan specialty products in Luzhou to develop, and build Yangzhou into a super market. No matter where the goods come from, they must be traded in Yangzhou. In this way, you can concentrate all resources in one direction, without considering the workshops, markets, local gentry and landlords."

Yang Zhanfei suddenly realized that when he built a market, he didn't need to look at the gentry's expression, because the market was built in the city or on the edge of the city, not in the countryside, and those villagers all need to rely on the market to trade. Once the market is built successfully, the villagers have the right to ask for it. Then who has the final say at that time is not sure, and it can also attract young people.

The most important thing is that the squire gave manpower to the card owner, which is indeed a trouble for the workshop, because the human workshop requires a large amount of manpower, not like a family workshop. However, the market does not require so many people. With the excellent geographical location of Yangzhou, it can create a trade market without production. Everyone can trade in this market, which will naturally bring livelihoods and wealth. The squire is not qualified to be the card owner's goods. I will develop the entertainment industry and financial industry, and other elite industries, and the production will be placed in Luzhou.

"Just don't go back to Chang'an and stay in Yangzhou." Yang Zhanfei said excitedly. He was still confused and didn't know how to develop, but as soon as Han Yi arrived, he immediately became enlightened and was full of expectations for the future.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Actually, I have this plan, too."
