Chapter 450 Left to buy road money

Of course, the reason why he chose to borrow money to carry out the demolition was not only to calm people's hearts and stabilize the situation, but Shen Zhezi also wanted to take advantage of the situation to draw Jiangzhou people into the situation.

The importance of Jiangzhou in the current situation is unquestionable. Not only is it just a balance point for the upstream and downstream hedging between Jing and Yang, but it is also a vast land and sparsely populated, and its rich products are not inferior to Wuzhong.

Due to many factors, Shen Zhezi does not have any practical and effective means to directly exert influence on Jiangzhou, which is an important part of the current situation.Even if Jiangzhou put it on his lips, he didn't dare to swallow it.

Neither Shen Zhezi himself, nor the entire Shen family, or even the Yu family, have the background to win Jiangzhou.If it is forcibly occupied, it may destroy the already extremely tight and solid basic market.Once faced with a challenge, not only can you spit out what you swallow, but it may even cause cracks in the original front.

However, the inability to actually occupy does not mean that indirect influence cannot be achieved.Wang Shuyuan was in Jiangzhou, and even sent Xue Gu back to disgust him, but it was a pity that his family ruined the good thing.Of course, Shen Zhezi couldn't bear this tone.

The Wang family had the experience of going out of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and Wang Shu himself was not bad, so the control of Jiangzhou was smooth, and basically won the support of most of the local clans.But this does not mean that Jiangzhou is impermeable under his control, on the contrary, it has great flaws.

For example, this time, many families in Jiangzhou carried a large amount of rice and grain to the east, eager to make a profit, but they were detained in Xuancheng.No matter how good Wang Shu's local business is, he lacks a channel to communicate with the outside world. To the east is East Yangzhou, to the north is Yu Yi of Yuzhou, and to the west is Tao Kan of Jingzhou. The relationship is not very harmonious.

If Jiangdong is still the original atmosphere, this is fine. After all, the manor economy is extremely introverted. Things like building high walls and accumulating grain are something that a rich family will play nowadays.

But with the strong rise of the Wuzhong family, this makes people see a path of rapid rise.In particular, the Wu Xing Shen family survived the turmoil, but instead grew violently. This undoubtedly planted a small burning flame in the hearts of many people whose family background was similar to the Shen family in the early years.

Jiangzhou is also a stronghold of local tyrants. In the Southern Dynasties, there were four so-called Yuzhang surnames, Hu, Luo, Deng, and Xiong. Speaking of which, the family wealth may not be inferior to that of the Shen family in the early years.However, Wuzhong, where Shen's family lived, was the center of the current situation, while Yuzhang's location was much different. Therefore, most of these families lived in rural areas and could not be called celebrities.

With Shen Jiazhuyu in front, it is reasonable for these people to be ready to move.As long as these people want to go to the countryside, there will inevitably be intersections, and as long as there are intersections, they will naturally be able to exert influence.

Wang Shu is in Jiangzhou, and Director Wang is in Taichung, which can provide these people with a smooth channel to become an official. This should be one of the reasons why Wang Shu can grasp the situation in Jiangzhou so quickly.But in terms of interest demands, the Wang family can't help them too much, and it may even have a negative impact.

Just like this time when transporting grain to the north, Yu Yi made it clear that his attitude was to embarrass them, and the Wang family couldn't help at all.Here in Taichung, Yu Liang's old friend bears the pressure exerted by Director Wang.In terms of locality, although Wang Shu's army is strong, if he dares to cross the border, he will be attacked by East Yangzhou and Jingzhou immediately.Besides, now that Yu Yi has crossed the river and fully controlled the river, he will undoubtedly get stuck even more severely.

Fortunately, Shen Zhezi has never been keen on eating alone. The more people join, the more active the market will be. Anyway, the rules are all set by him.

Today's gathering is for Yu Tiao to entertain these Jiangzhou families.The person who spilled wine on his clothes just now is a member of Yuzhang's Xiong clan, named Xiong Song.

Xiong's surname is a relatively rare surname in later generations, but Yuzhang's Xiong's background is not small. It is said that it is a descendant of the Chu royal family.Of course, who the ancestors were is impossible to verify, and it is of little significance. Even if the ancestors are the heavenly king Lao Tzu, if the family is ruined, they should beg for food and have to beg for food.

However, the Xiong family is also a big family in Yuzhang. The Xiong Song in front of him alone seems a bit reckless, but his uncle Xiong Yuan is one of the hundred and six chiefs of Zhongxing, the Yuan Emperor, and even once served as the internal historian and secretary of the Kuaiji. Too often, it's just that the successor is weak, and the current position is very weak.

After entering the table, the Xiong Chan sighed: "I heard people say earlier that the capital was dilapidated and deserted after the chaos. But this time when I entered the capital, I saw that although the war caused a lot of damage, the people are happy to live, and the family is happy. The household is rich, and revival is just around the corner!"

The others also nodded after hearing the words. They had been imprisoned in Xuancheng for a long time, and they were trembling in their hearts, and they were ready to lose everything.But I didn't expect that after the grain ship arrived in Jiankang, it would still become a dumping trend.Although the price of rice has dropped rapidly, it is not as expected as the sudden profit, but the profit is also quite substantial, far exceeding the output of a year's field.

After hearing the words, Yu Tiao laughed and said, "Even if the revival is just around the corner, we still have to rely on local righteous men like Mr. Xiong to go north to help! You can all see the enthusiastic attitude of the people in Duzhong. It's simply missing you like a disease!"

Hearing this, everyone in the banquet suddenly laughed.Indeed, the grain sales in Jiankang this time made them aware of the vastness and hotness of the Gyeonggi market.Think about it, people like Wuzhong have such a vast market, and the profit from a single hectare of land is several times that of them. How can they not be prosperous!

Jiangdong's wanton farmland actually started in Jiangzhou.When Ying Zhan was the governor of Jiangzhou, he vigorously promoted the reclamation of fields and farming.Jiangzhou has a vast land and sparse population, even more than Kuaiji, and there are still a large number of Xi people and barbarians living in the mountains and fields.

For ordinary people, these barbarians look like ghosts and need to be careful.But for the powerful families, each of which has its own armed forces, these barbarians are nothing more than inexhaustible labor.In other places, wealthy families always have scruples about occupying land and population, but in Jiangzhou, this is not a problem.

The nobles organized armed forces and swept all over the field to wipe out those barbarians. Not only did they capture a large number of people, but many barbarians also lived on farming, and their cultivated land was also seized.Instead of stopping it, the state government is encouraging cooperation.

So in Jiangzhou, it is not uncommon for a family to have a thousand hectares of land.Maybe the land is not as rich as Wuzhong, but the advantage lies in the large quantity and low cost.A large amount of products cannot be consumed by the family at all. If they can be transported out and put on the market, it will be a great profit, that would be a great thing.

In the past, people from Jiangzhou also had the experience of trafficking products. For example, Jingzhou and Jiankang are also trade routes they are familiar with.But this is all operated by each family independently, and it is far less than the large-scale production made by the Wuzhong family!

Hearing what Yu Tiao said, everyone was also very moved, but thinking of the experience of being trapped in Xuancheng for a long time earlier, they couldn't help but feel lingering fear.It was Xiong Chan again who said: "Mr. Yu is so highly praised, it makes me feel ashamed. Why don't we want to help the poor with a large amount of production and income in the village, but the road is blocked and far away, and most of them are afraid of it. This time going north, There are many twists and turns on the road..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Shen Zhezi and said with an apologetic smile: "It's not easy to run a family, and there are so many distracting thoughts. I hope my son-in-law will forgive me if I tarnish my son-in-law's sight and hearing!"

Hearing Xiong Song carefully compliment Shen Zhezi, Ji You next to him couldn't help laughing.What kind of elegance does this guy have?He is the biggest merchant leader in the city, ruthless and merciless!

If you want people to come to do business, you need to guarantee safety.After Yu Tiao heard this, he laughed and said, "I'd like to ask my brother about this matter. The twists and turns of the day before yesterday were helpless. You also know that Jiangbei was not peaceful years ago, and it is difficult to return to the old view. The patrolling of the river is stricter, and it is also to ensure the safety of my Jiangdong, so that Jie Nu will not take advantage of it. But now that my brother has gone north to deploy defenses, the guard on the river can be eased in the future. But if there is excessive communication, that is impossible. "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help feeling cold again. They flattered and flattered them because they were just seeking an unimpeded way of doing business and making money.

"I don't agree with my brother's words. It is true that Jiangdong's safety is important, but the people of Gyeonggi are also suffering. Can't there be a good compromise between the two benefits?"

Shen Zhezi said with a smile in the banquet.

After hearing the words, Yu Tiao clapped his hands and said, "That's why I invited you, Weizhou. You are a gentleman who is good at planning and is famous all over Jiangdong. I don't know if you have a good plan to teach me?"

The exchange between the two quickly aroused the emotions of everyone in the banquet, and they all turned to look at Shen Zhezi.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he raised his folding fan, shook it, and sighed: "If you know that this wine is so difficult to drink, I really want to thank Bumin. If even my brother-in-law in Yuzhou finds it difficult, how can I, who stays at home, dare to drink it?" Boasting?"

Of course there is a way. Shen Zhezi lends money to the people of Gyeonggi, creating a huge market for the people of Jiangzhou to taste the sweetness. The purpose is to hook them and let them enter without hesitation.But if you want to enter the arena so smoothly, that's impossible!It is to let these people catch up closely between hooks and obstacles.

In fact, Yu Tiao has already given these people the answer. Dajiang can relax his defense a little bit, but he can't communicate too much.But who can come and go freely, after all, still depends on everyone's understanding.If you want to live from now on, stay and buy road money!
In fact, this is also a normal state of business nowadays, but these people are probably obsessed with the stalemate relationship between the Langya Wang family and the Yu family, and have too many political considerations. They think that Yu Yi's plan may not be so simple, but they ignore it.It is also embarrassing to make a fuss to the point of asking for money.

After a gathering, these Jiangzhou people seem to have gained nothing, but also seem to have realized something.

After agreeing to meet again in the future, Shen Zhezi went down to the attic, and just got into the car when someone shouted from across the street: "Wei Zhou is here, but I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Shen Zhezi turned his head and looked, only to see a gorgeous ox cart slowly approaching from the opposite side, and the person sitting on the ox cart was indeed Jiang Xia Gong Wei Chong.
