Exceeding expectations?

Is this really the case?

Doesn’t Han Yi know how backward the Khitan was? After an advanced civilization entered, it was very easy to help a small group of people accumulate wealth quickly, because a blank market was a blessed land for merchants. In addition, this was not a pure transaction, and there were many helps, and it was real money. As a businessman, how could he miscalculate this account?

The only explanation is that his ultimate goal may not be that simple.

The ban plan is just a surface.

However, Chen Shuo's real experience allowed her to understand Han Yi. The roles were different, and the information she knew should be unequal. It was impossible for the emperor to tell the prime minister everything. Even if he completely trusted the prime minister, if he told everything, it would definitely be a bad thing.

In fact, the women around Han Yi did very well, especially Xiao Wuyi. This has been the case since the beginning. Xiao Wuyi certainly knew that Han Yi had many secrets, but she clearly distinguished her work. She would never ask any more questions. Although she had asked in Yangzhou, she did not ask the casserole to the end, nor did she force Han Yi to answer her. Later, Han Yi took the initiative to tell her, giving Han Yi great freedom.

For Han Yi, lying and lying is commonplace and has become a habit, but he is also trying his best to avoid lying to his closest relatives. The only way is not to say it. Although I am just the tip of the iceberg, it is at least the truth.

Han Yi stayed in the Taoist temple for three days and then went down the mountain. Although he wanted to stay for a while, reality did not allow it. How could he, the Shangshuling, disappear for several days for no reason? However, Chen Shuozhen didn't leave immediately. She had to wait until the end of winter before leaving.

But Han Yi was not in a hurry to meet in the city, but went to a new market.

"Owner, come to me."

A man dressed in a businessman came to Han Yi's suite.

Han Yi said: "You go to Yangzhou immediately and let Yunxiu go back to Chang'an immediately."

"Affect the order."

"Wait a minute."

Han Yi suddenly raised his hand and said, "If Yun Xiu doesn't want to come back soon, tell him that Changan's technology in steelmaking has made a breakthrough. I think this will definitely help him. This is also the reason why I asked him to come back to Changan immediately."

"The villain remembers it!"

"You go."

"The villain took his leave."

After the man went out, Han Yi picked up the wine on the table, put it in front of his mouth and paused for a little while. Suddenly he drank it all, with an excitement in his eyes.

In the past, autumn was the season for people to harvest, and everyone liked the arrival of autumn, but with the changes in society, winter became the season of harvest. The reason why autumn was regarded as the season of harvest was because the food collected by the people from the fields was everything in the small peasant economy. Now a large amount of land is controlled by farmers. For them, grain is a commodity. Only when goods have to be sold and exchanged for wealth can it be considered a harvest.

Han Yi was the busiest time, and it was winter because the Northwest merchants arrived, but this also gave him many reasons to find Chen Shuozhen. He basically ran to Chen Shuozhen for a night in two or three days. Among his four women, he gave Chen Shuozhen the least.

This time, when the Northwest merchants came to Chang'an, they had a very important thing to negotiate with the court, that is, vouchers.

The desire for money by merchants in the northwest has reached a critical point. If they don’t give money, the Northwest market may collapse and have developed to this scale, but there is still no currency. It is really troublesome to transport copper coins in the past. In such a large market, there is no currency transaction, which is really hurt. The transactions within the northwest always stagnate because the transaction is too troublesome, but the economy is growing, so it is entirely supported by trade with the Central Plains. Internal digestion is too incompatible with economic growth, and problems will arise sooner or later.

Almost all the wealthy businessmen in the northwest came to Chang'an, so don't talk about trade with us first. We just want currency and give us vouchers.

Simple and straightforward.

Whether you beg or threaten, you must give us money and we can't wait any longer.

Han Yi had already prepared a voucher of 500,000 yuan and placed it in the northwest.

Of course, this money is not given by giving, because if you give it directly, it is not a voucher, but a piece of waste paper. The entire monetary system will collapse and must be exchanged for an equal amount of value. The entire voucher investment is roughly divided into three parts, partly placed in the northwest gold shop to lend to the northwest merchants. Partly it is used for this trade, and the court purchases some horses, leather, precious medicinal materials, etc. The last part is used for construction, including road construction, market construction, and government construction.

The Northwest government was the poorest government in the Tang Dynasty because they did not have fixed taxes, which means that the Northwest merchants hired them to do business. The tax collected by the government was based on the needs of the local people. If you want to build roads this year, you should pay more. If you don’t need to build roads next year, you will give less. The court has not provided any help. Therefore, Han Yi allocated a full 100,000 guan from 500,000 guan, specifically for the construction of governments in various parts of the northwest, and all were used for relatively poor prefectures, counties, Beiting and the Protectorate, because they were important transportation routes, and the rich were concentrated there, and they were not short of money.

Northwest merchants are very satisfied with this investment plan, because investing in local projects and putting in bank loans are all about creating jobs for the local area and bringing wealth to the local people. Of course, they are satisfied, and no one raises a little objection, because they also believe that Han Yi will definitely protect their interests and will not harm them.

The Northwest businessmen returned home with satisfaction!

Chen Shuozhen left Chang'an almost at the same time as the Northwest merchants. She also took away goods worth 100,000 yuan. Although Han Yi did not say it clearly, judging from his attitude and actions, he hoped that this war would come soon.

A hundred thousand tumbles of goods is an unimaginable wealth for the Khitans.

What is certain is that if they cannot bring so many goods for equal exchanges, they need to exchange labor for these goods. A situation will inevitably arise, that is, the Khitan merchants must increase production, and then recruit more labor to produce horse harnesses and leather, and more people will gather around them, and their strength will become stronger and richer. Based on the human nature of being difficult to frugal, they will move forward more firmly and overthrow the old system.

Han Yi is trying to speed up this process

Winter goes and spring comes.

The warm sunshine shines on the earth, but for many years, the sunshine has never shined into the house and has not allowed people to open their eyes lazy in the morning because of the sunshine.

What a pity to miss this wonderful moment.

But today, the warm spring sunshine finally shines into Liangyi Hall.

"It's bright! It's bright! My Liangyi Palace is lit up!"

Li Zhi stood in front of a window, and felt his blurry eyes suddenly become brighter, and he shouted unconsciously. Looking at the view outside the window, he couldn't help but raise his hand and stretch it out. When he reached halfway, the coolness from his fingers made him immediately retract his hand, then slowly stretched out, suddenly turned his head and asked Han Yi, "This - this."

"Glass."

"Yes, glass. Can this glass be touched?"

"Of course." Han Yi nodded.

After Li Zhi got the affirmative answer, he reached out his hand, gently stroked the transparent glass like air, and said excitedly: "This is so amazing! It's so amazing!"

The ministers such as Zhang Wenguan were also excited to see them.

"This is the most magical thing I have ever seen in my life."

"What exactly is this done?"

Li Zhi didn't hear what the minister was saying at all, and asked Han Yi again: "Who invented this?"

Han Yi said: "Report to Your Majesty, this was jointly developed by Zhou Fei, a porcelain merchant in Xicheng City, and Tao Family Workshop. Because of the technology in glass, we have never been as good as the Western Regions for hundreds of years, which makes our merchants feel very cowardly. Therefore, in recent years, they have decided to catch up and finally developed this more magical glass. After I knew it, I thought that this glass might be of great help to Your Majesty's body, so I immediately spent money to buy the first batch of glass from them. However, because the quantity was extremely limited, it can only be used for Your Majesty's bedroom and Liangyi Hall for the time being, which is already all their glass."

"Okay, okay! My dear is really intent!"

Li Zhi was extremely moved and said, "Those merchants are also worthy of praise. Their spirit is the spirit that the people of our Tang Dynasty should have. In any aspect, our Tang Dynasty should strive to be the first, and it should be the first."

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty said it very well. Our Tang Dynasty is the most powerful empire in the world today. No matter in any aspect, our civilization is the highest, our people are the smartest, and we should not lag behind in any aspect."

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this. Although his eyes were sometimes good and sometimes bad, he witnessed the birth of a super empire with his own eyes, and it was born in his hands. He now has some confidence and said that he surpassed Li Shimin. He took a path that was not arranged by Li Shimin for him and achieved great success. He said excitedly: "This is exactly the concept that I have always adhered to. The agriculture and sedimentary industry has reached a bottleneck. Only industry and commerce can make my Tang Dynasty go further."

Although Zhang Wenguan and the others did not agree, they were not easy to refute the matter at this point. Hao Chujun asked everywhere, "This glass must be not cheap, right?"

They are very envious. They can sit in the sun and read books. It’s so beautiful to think about it.

Han Yi said: "It is expensive for the time being because there is no mass production yet. However, with the large-scale production of merchants, the price should drop. If a certain commodity cannot be used even the prime minister of the dynasty, it will be a very failed commodity. Otherwise, it will be a dereliction of duty by our Ministry of Revenue. I believe that it will not take long, and even our people will be able to use this glass."

With Han Yi's technology, combined with the financial resources and technology of clay, a glass that occupied the entire village was already covered with all the glass workshops. In order to speed up this progress, clay hired three groups of construction workers to take turns to work day and night, giving each craftsman two to three times the salary. As for construction materials, they were all ready-made. Because the construction in Chang'an City was in progress, a large number of material vendors poured into Chang'an. Chang'an had enough raw materials. In fact, during the New Year Festival, glass workshops had already started to produce.

Because Han Yi’s technology is very mature, there is almost no need to study it, just follow it directly.

Although clay is honest and honest, he is never stupid after all. He spends several times the money in order to hurry up, so he will definitely make it back.

Guanzhong Hotel.

"Wow! So many people! Huh? Sang Mu, Xiaopang, you are all here!"

When Yuwen Xiumi hurried to the conference room of Guanzhong Hotel, she found that it was crowded with people. There was not even a place to sit in the huge conference room. Moreover, they were all the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, including Sangmu and Xiaopang, who rarely joined in the fun.

But he didn't have time to say hello to everyone. He saw Zhou Fei and Tao Clay sitting on the main seat and immediately rushed over, "Old Tao, Lao Zhou, half a year ago, I knew you must have made a big move. I didn't expect you to come up with such a magical treasure. Now, don't say that my buddy doesn't take care of your business, I plan to customize a batch of window glass from you. If it's right, we can sign a ten-year contract directly."

This is definitely not to be missed. If the merchants are asked to apply glass to the carriage first, it may break the monopoly of his carriage business, so he is very nervous.

"Young Master Yuwen, we always pay attention to coming first and then coming when we do business. You can stand behind."

Qian, who was sitting in the middle, shouted generously.

Yuwen Xiumi said angrily: "What does this glass have to do with you, a wine merchant? My carriage has windows, and there are only a few broken windows in your house. It's okay to buy it later."

Qian Dafang said: "Who said it doesn't matter? Don't you know that this glass can be made into a wine bottle?"

Yuwen Xiumi said in surprise: "Can you still make bottles? It's impossible. Didn't this glass be used for windows?"

"Don't talk too much, you guys, just stay behind. In fact, it's already good that you can come in. You know that the house next door is still in more than 20 Jiangnan businessmen waiting to talk to Lao Tao and Lao Zhou."

"Go and go, stand behind."

Tao Clay and Zhou Fei savored the tea without saying a word, but felt that this tea was the most delicious tea in their life. Not to mention tea, at this moment, even if they were given a cup of urine, they could taste the taste of wine, and they would never react. They drank it themselves because they were so happy. Especially Zhou Fei, he was originally the largest porcelain merchant in the West City, but because of the rise of clay, he almost went bankrupt. It was because he was supporting him in the back, and the market was too good and clay was too busy, so he developed again. This time he could be regarded as a show of the limelight and could show off his heart.

It was the first time he felt that hundreds of people came to him with money and begged him to accept the money. This feeling was so good.

But then again, if glass appeared ten years ago, it would never have been so sensational, at most it would be a luxury product.

First of all, Yuwen Xiumi could not rush to buy car windows. The car was not commercialized. Who would have thought that the car windows would not have come immediately to hope to use glass for his cans. But now, it would be different. It was like everyone has a bucket at home, but each bucket is missing one. If this piece is made into a commodity, of course everyone will come to grab it.

Nowadays, the problem facing clay weekly fees is not money, but output.
