In fact, many articles published in the Aristocratic Daily have attracted much attention from everyone. The core idea of ​​these articles is to apply Confucianism and Taoism to the business field. Han Yi is of course supported by it, because it can integrate traditional ideas and the new class to form a new idea, which is of great help to the development of capitalism, because it can help merchants reduce many resistances from tradition and improve their own qualities.

Before they stood for a while, many businessmen saw Han Yi and Wu Kelie standing here, and quickly came over to say hello. They were all wealthy businessmen.

Peng Wanjin smiled and said, "Brother Lie, your northwest has developed very well in recent years, and the goods you bring are increasing exponentially."

Jia Fugui also said, "Yes! We all can't stand it anymore!"

Wu Kelie smiled and said, "Don't be humble, everyone, we know very well about your strength. Even if we ship more goods, it's nothing to you!"

"You can't say that." Xu Ke waved his hand and said, "Your goods will be sold to Zhongyuan, but our goods not only need to satisfy you, but also have to be sold to other parts of Zhongyuan. Now the volume of goods is a bit tight."

Yigu suddenly frowned and said, "When I talked about this, I remembered another thing. When I came here, I passed by a pen making workshop and wanted to buy some back, but the manager said that the pens they produced now cannot be supplied by Chang'an, and the Jiangnan area is still waiting, let alone to buy them in the northwest. In the end, I only bought fifty taels, and it was sold to me by someone who made an exception."

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Don't think about the Wang family's pen. Now even our Ministry of Works buys pens from him. Moreover, our Zhaoyi Academy in Chang'an has also signed orders with them, and it seems that this year is not enough."

Dou Yidao: "The Wang family's pen-making workshop has only been in the past or two years. It is natural to have insufficient production. However, as far as I know, even Andy Lau's toothbrushes have been shipped tightly, and now the employees of their workshops are not on holiday."

"I want to tell you, the most obvious of them is the canned food of Xiaopang Group. Nowadays, the canned fruits, not to mention the northwest, even Chang'an and Luoyang can't buy them. Xiaopang still lives in Chang'an."

Yuwen Xiumi said: "The same is true for my glue. Now I sell as much as I make. The merchants in Jiangnan are urging me every day."

Wu Kelie was puzzled and said, "I remember when I came here last time, you couldn't even sell the goods. Why did this time it became in short supply?"

He Ruohan said: "We are also puzzled. My mules are still under research, so the order has already arrived. Alas... I can't make money even if I have money."

As we were talking, everyone suddenly started to complain, and then everyone looked at Han Yi again.

"Brother Han, what's going on with you?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Who do you think there is only one industry that does not face this problem now?"

“It should be the textile industry.”

Yi Gu immediately said: "This time we come back to Central Plains, the amount of silk is the most abundant."

Yuwen Xiumi said excitedly, "That's all because of the Cao brothers' hydraulic spinning machines. Their workshop is running all day long. Our products are made by workers every day, so of course they are not as good as them."

Wu Kelie said: "When talking about hydraulic spinning, when I came, I heard that Tuyuhun used a new technology to use wind to make salt, but it was very tight, so the salt price in Tuyuhun has dropped a little this year, but the amount has increased a lot."

Han Yi frowned and said, "Wind-powered salt?"

Yang Mengcheng hurriedly said, "I heard about this when I was in Liangzhou. It is said that Wang Fangyi invented it."

"There is such a thing." Han Yi said in surprise: "Why didn't I talk about this?"

Yang Mengcheng said: "Brother-in-law, what is Wang Fangyi's identity? How can he have the nerve to report to the court in this kind of thing!"

Han Yi snorted: "I'm embarrassed to report this kind of thing. He wants to report it. He won't starve to death if he doesn't receive his salary for several years. He is such an idiot."

He Ruohan said: "Brother Han, don't care about Tuyuhun for now. What's going on here? Our workshops have obviously expanded a lot, but the goods have become in short supply."

Han Yi said: "Of course, this is because the market has grown bigger and our production technology has not yet been kept up, so it seems a little unsatisfied."

He Ruohan said: "Where is this market getting bigger?"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Will this have something to do with vouchers? I remember that after the issuance of vouchers, our shipments were getting bigger and bigger."

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course this has something to do, and the demand will further increase. After all, we are mainly concentrated in the Canal Generation, and there are also Bashu, Fengxiang and other places there, including Lelangzhou and other places."

He Ruohan sighed, "So what, we don't have the ability to make that money."

Han Yi said: "If you can't do it, just find a way. You either recruit more people or improve your production technology."

Yuwen Xiu sighed: "The hydraulic power can spin, but unfortunately many workshops cannot be used, otherwise I would buy their patents."

"Even if it can be used, I have to find a good place. Sanmen Mountain has been occupied by people. Who would have been willing to go to that place in the past? Now the land price is higher than that of Chang'an. If I have a piece of land, I can stop buying and selling."

He Ruohan suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way! Brother Han, hurry up and call Mr. Yun back. Mr. Yun is the best at this technical problem, and he must have a way."

Yuwen Xiumi also said, "Yes! What did Mr. Yun do? Why haven't he come back yet?"

At this time, I care about Mr. Yun. What were you going to do? Han Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Yun is now staying in the Sixth Academy of Sages in Yangzhou. You also know Mr. Yun's personality. He doesn't like to walk around very much."

"What's the point of Yangzhou that is good to be with? He doesn't want to walk around. We will spend money to carry him back in a sedan chair and keep it safe and prevent him from taking a step." Yuwen Xiumi was very dissatisfied.

"You can't count on Mr. Yun alone in this kind of thing." Han Yi smiled and said, "You have to find a way yourself. Look at the Cao brothers, this time it's a big profit."

He was actually very happy to see this situation because it was a sign that the production technology must be improved. However, he did not expect it to come so quickly. He really didn't notice it in advance, because merchants have been making money all the time. Of course, they would not be dissatisfied, and they were just nervous and did not say that they were very out of stock. This is because the Tang Dynasty was originally a superpower with a territory that was many times that of Britain. Once marketization began, it would take a certain amount of time to digest the local market.

Why did businessmen not only feel at ease before the crisis, but they were also worried that they could not sell the goods they were in. But this year they felt a little overwhelmed. This is the full marketization of the canal generation, including the rise of Yangzhou and Muzhou. People from these prefectures and counties all came to the city, so they needed to buy everything. The demand was actually increasing day by day. Before the crisis, there was no such a large market. In addition, vouchers were issued this year, and the boss sent currency to employees, and the market began to burst into an astonishing demand.

It was just because the traffic was not so fast that it could not be revealed at this moment. However, when the merchants in the northwest came, they came to buy a lot because they came to barter, and they would definitely take away a large number of goods. This made the merchants in Chang'an look a little dizzy at the beginning.

Especially some new products, pencils, perfumes, toilets, cans, paper, and ships, all became a little nervous.

Even Han Yi's papermaking workshops still barely meet the needs of Wu Kelie and others. This time, Wu Kelie and others need a lot of paper, because the people in the northwest have also started to study and the demand for paper is increasing. However, Zhongyuan strictly keeps paper technology confidential, and coupled with the patent bill, it is even more confidential, and all technical talents have come to Chang'an.

But there was only one Cao brother in the world, and it was too difficult to improve his skills. Yuwen Xiumi frowned, suddenly his eyes turned around and rubbed his chin and said, "Brother Han, I heard that when we went to fight Goguryeo last time, the Japanese sent troops to help Baekje fight us together."

Han Yi was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you think of this?"

Yuwen Xiumi immediately said indignantly: "That small place dares to act wildly on our Tang Dynasty. We have to teach them some lessons!"

He Ruohan said, "Yes! We can't forget this hatred!"

Damn! You killed tens of thousands of people in your family and wanted to seek revenge, so they should be here to seek revenge with us! Han Yi said angrily: "You said that's just a small place. Why are we going to fight it for nothing? We didn't lose the last time we fought."

Yuwen Xiumi shot out shyly: "Can you provide us with some manpower?"

Yi Gu nodded and said seriously: "This is OK. Why did our road from northwest to Central Plains be built so fast? It was because we went to many Goguryeo slaves later. If we had some more slaves, we might be able to build the cement road to Beiting as soon as possible."

Last time, all the direct legions of Yuangaisuwen were sent to the northwest, because Han Yi knew that all of them were hatred for the Tang Dynasty and moved to the Central Plains was not suitable. The merchants of the Central Plains were not able to suppress them, so they simply sent to the northwest directly, so they let the more fierce people in the northwest teach them a lesson. No matter how strong the Goguryeo people are, it is not as strong as the Northwest customs.

They all obediently and work honestly.

Wu Kelie's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "It's reasonable!"

Han Yi said laughing and crying: "Do you know where Japan is?"

Yi Gu shook his head.

Han Yi said: "I don't know, what are you talking about!"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Brother Han, it's actually a small matter for slaves. We didn't go there. The key is that this matter makes our Tang Dynasty very shameful. Although we won, that should be true. However, Japan dares to send troops to support our enemies. This clearly does not take our Tang Dynasty seriously. We have to teach those wild monkeys a lesson and let them know the methods of our Tang Dynasty."

This guy is becoming more and more shameless. Several years have passed. What did you do before? Today I suddenly remembered that I had no face and that it was a trivial matter for slaves. You clearly went for slaves. Han Yi didn't want to pay attention to this guy.

Jia Fugui, the jewelry merchant, had his eyes flashing and said, "This Japanese country has silver. If you want to buy it, isn't this silver all ours?" As he said that, a smirk appeared on his lips. If I had a silver mine, it would be really wonderful.

He Ruohan said excitedly: "That's not that there are silver notes to use in the future. You can hit it, you can hit it."

Han Yi said: "I'll hit you. When will this military and national affairs be your turn to make trouble here."

He Ruohan said: "I didn't make any mistakes. I just gave advice. We have so many navy troops in Laizhou, why don't we fight?"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Not it? This is mainly about the face of our Tang Dynasty. The court should seriously consider this issue. If there are any financial difficulties, we can support it. I have a way. The court can issue national debts. We buy them. After we conquer Japan, we will take them directly... Haha... Maybe we can even get the national debts back."

Speaking of the latter, he was moved by his IQ and laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled violently.

Yang Mengcheng said seriously: "Brother-in-law, I also think you should talk to Your Majesty."

He is short of people now, and the forage is selling too well. He plans to continue to expand the business, but unfortunately he did not catch up with the battle of Goguryeo before.

"Why don't you go to Silla?" He Ruohan said thoughtfully.

"What are you fighting for Silla? Silla is my vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. This is an unkind and unrighteous thing, but I can't do it. Don't say this again. Be careful that your descendants will be blamed on you." Yuwen Xiumi glared at He Ruohan, and then whispered in He Ruohan's ear: "You are stupid. This Silla cannot be fought. If Silla is destroyed, then Silla maids will be a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and then they can't buy it."

He Ruohan immediately frightened into a cold sweat. If there were no Silla maids, what would it mean to be alive? He kept saying: "Yes, yes, you can't do such unkind and unrighteous things."

Wu Kelie was very grateful to hear it. Fortunately, we are now a family. Otherwise, we would be the target of being beaten. We had to go out to sea to attack Japan, so we were just next to each other. It was so convenient. At the same time, we were very proud. We are now the people of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the one who beat people.

Not to mention them, even Han Yi felt that these people were a bit perverted, fighting like a joke, and said laughing and crying: "I'm asking you to find a way to improve your productivity. Can you stop thinking about slaves all the time?"

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Isn't this slave just productivity!"

Han Yi was speechless.

In fact, the effect brought by the last time that Goguryeo was reflected in Jiangnan. It did not happen in Chang'an. It was because after Goguryeo was fighting, Han Yi went back to mourn, and then an economic crisis broke out immediately. At that time, merchants took slaves to Jiangnan and sold a large number of slaves to merchants in Jiangnan. Jiangnan merchants took slaves to build manors, plant tea, and grow food. Even smuggling groups had some Goguryeo slaves, because they all had no household registration, and you can't find it. Yangzhou developed rapidly, which actually had something to do with Goguryeo slaves. Because the cost of slaves was low, merchants could complete the original accumulation.

Now there is only one Tubo around the Tang Dynasty. Silla is a vassal state, but if they fight Tubo, they can't afford it. Japan is a very good choice for them. It is not related to relatives and has fewer contacts. When fighting Japan, the people probably don't feel anything. It's effortless to fight, and Japan has a population and money, which is enough.

Han Yi said bitterly: "Our Tang Dynasty is a country of gentlemen..."

"What a gentleman's country, Brother Han, don't fool those literati. Our Tang Dynasty is a country of warriors." Yuwen Xiumi raised his head and said proudly: "Our Gaozu and Taizong are all emperors on horseback. Our Tang Dynasty was established from war, and war cannot be left behind. Brother Han, don't say I will hide behind and say, I am willing to go to the battlefield, but the court just doesn't want me."

"You kid is obsessed with the infatuation. I don't want to say much to you." Han Yi ignored this guy and called Wu Kelie and the others, "Go and have a meal."

Yuwen Xiumi said, "Together, let's talk at the dinner."

Han Yi immediately scolded: "I'll talk about your sister."

Yuwen Xiumi said regretfully: "It's a pity that my two sisters are already married, otherwise, I would like to call you brother-in-law. I wonder if my cousin can do it? My cousin is Shui Ling, and now she is only fifteen years old."
