Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 177 Have you read it (first update)
"Yeah." He Jinzhao smiled, looked at the lamp:
"I like people with brains. If you don't have any brains to do rebellion, it's easy to be sold and pay for it. You can rely on recklessness in the early stage, but you always rely on recklessness. It's easy to die if you are reckless."

Zhao Si, the lamplighter, heaved a sigh of relief. He knew what He Jinzhao meant by saying this, because he didn't blame himself for being the king of sweeping the floor.

People are not sages, and it is impossible not to have their own little thoughts.

Even Confucius had his own little thoughts.

The titles of Confucius were all deified by the younger generations for their own benefit.

Even though dynasties have changed, the millennium Kong family did not come for nothing!

Not because of profit.

"Chief coach, you give up the Shaanxi territory and enter Shanxi, do you want to sit here?"

He Jinzhao nodded without denying it, and accepting a younger brother also has the benefits of accepting a younger brother.

Zhao Si, the lamplighter, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out his thumb: "The head coach really has a good eye."

The two female leaders, Bai Jiu'er and Ying Shanhong, looked bewildered.

He Jinzhao asked back, "Why do I have good eyesight?"

"Chief coach, Shanxi is just an ordinary province among the two capitals and thirteen provinces, not outstanding.

But in history, there have been several times, at least in the Yellow River area, it has occupied an extremely important position. "

"Oh?" He Jinzhao looked at someone clearing the table and said, "Tell me."

Zhao Si, the lamp lighter, got the answer, and said:

"Chief coach, let's go farther away, the capitals of Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu's eras are all in present-day Shanxi.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State was the most powerful country in the Yellow River Basin, leading the small Chinese countries to compete with the overlord Chu State in the Yangtze River Basin. This is the Jin-Chu struggle for hegemony.

When the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin, Zhao Wei in the early stage was still a powerful country.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, although Shanxi was not politically prominent, according to Tai Shigong's records, people here were especially good at doing business.

At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Liu Yuan, chief of the Xiongnu in Shanxi Province, rebelled, and soon moved his capital to Pingyang (now Linfen).

His son Liu Cong captured Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty, captured Emperor Huai, and moved the capital to Xi'an in the Western Jin Dynasty.

Liu Cong broke through Xi'an again, captured Emperor Min, and destroyed the Western Jin Dynasty.

It was Tuoba Xianbei from the Mongolian Plateau who ended the chaos in the Yellow River Basin, who moved to Pingcheng (Datong) to unify the Yellow River Basin.

When Er Zhurong raised his troops from Jinyang, established Emperor Xiaozhuang, Empress Dowager Shen and the young master in the Yellow River, and killed two thousand court officials, the political center of the Northern Kingdom was transferred to Jinyang, Shanxi (the ancient name of Taiyuan).

Gao Huan, a general of Erzhurong's department, raised troops to destroy Erzhu's family, and still regarded himself as the prime minister of Jinyang.

Emperor Wu of the Later Zhou Dynasty attacked Qi and directed his troops directly at Jinyang, Jinyang was conquered, and the east of Taihang Mountain was determined in one fell swoop.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties were unified. Although Shanxi was not as important as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Bingzhou (Jinyang) in the Sui Dynasty was the political and military center in the Yellow River Basin after Chang'an and Luoyang.

The Tang Dynasty also paid attention to their birthplace, and at the end of the Tang Dynasty it became the territory of the Shatuo people.

It was not until Song Taizu launched a unification war that he attacked the Northern Han Dynasty who ruled Shanxi twice, and came to the city of Jinyang, but failed. Only then did his younger brother Song Taizong conquer Jinyang and destroy the Northern Han Dynasty.

During the unification process of the Song Dynasty, Jinyang was the last center of separatist forces and the most stubborn fortress.

The Song army took a lot of effort to capture it. In view of the lessons learned in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, when the central government was in chaos, a new force always based in Jinyang established a state and separatist regime, and then competed for the world.

Therefore, after Song Taizong conquered Jinyang, he destroyed the thousand-year-old capital Jinyang. "

The lamplighter Zhao Si pointed to the map hanging on the back and said: "Chief coach, from this we can see that the period when Shanxi occupied an important position in history was often the period when dynasties split.

Shanxi is located in the eastern part of the plateau. It is condescending to the Guanzhong areas of Henan, Hebei, and Shaanxi.

If the chief coach has a strong army in his hand, he can attack and take it, retreat and defend it, and rule the roost in a long-term separatist regime.

Moreover, Shanxi people are good at doing business. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Shanxi recorded the highest business tax. Today, Shanxi merchants in Ming Dynasty are not too shy. "

The lamplighter Zhao Si's eyesight is no less than that of a scholar on the ground, and his eyesight is much higher than that of ordinary thieves.

A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out. When the transportation is inconvenient, it is really a compliment.

He Jinzhao nodded repeatedly after listening to Zhao Si's science popularization.

He didn't know much about the historical details of Shanxi.

But he heard that Zhao Si encouraged him to occupy the whole of Shanxi, which probably won't work at present.

Zhao Si, the lamplighter, became more and more excited as he talked: "Chief coach, in today's world, the wealthy rule the roost, Jiangnan will push Xin'an (Huizhou Prefecture), and Jiangbei will push Shanyou (Shanxi).

Dajia in Xin'an is a fish and salt business, and there are millions of people who store 镪 (strings of money), and the other 30 to [-] are Zhongjiaer, which is not worth mentioning.

Shanyou or salt, silk, or reselling, or cellar millet, which is rich in Xin'an. "

However, He Jinzhao understood what Zhao Si meant. The merchants in Shanxi were the richest, and they couldn't even compare with those in Jiangnan with the budding capitalism.

"As for Pingyang Zelu, the wealthy businessman is the world's top businessman, and if he has hundreds of thousands of dollars, he is not called rich!"

Zhao Sichang, the lamplighter, let out a sigh of relief: "If brother Gao can conquer this place, everyone will wear gold and silver."

"Well, I wish Brother Gao a breakthrough."

He Jinzhao finally understood that kind of person.

Although he has no money, he talks endlessly about the money of the richest people, as if it is his own property.

Both Bai Jiu'er and Ying Shanhong were dumbfounded.

What did you say earlier that there are so many dynasties?
Now that there are many rich households in Shanxi, the two of them understood.

"Wait a minute." He Jinzhao stopped the excitement of Zhao Si who was lighting the lamp:
"I'm curious about what the merchants in Shanxi mainly sell to make a lot of money."

"So that the head coach will know." Zhao Si, who lit the lamp, sat down again:

"They mainly transported salt from Jiechi in Shanxi, Lu silk from Lu'an Prefecture, as well as coal and iron, and brought back cloth from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River."

Salt, coal, these things He Jin knows.

For example, Yu Qian's old father was in business, transporting coal from Pingdingshan to Datong, Shanxi to sell, and the only money left was his pants.

"What is this lu silk?"

He Jinzhao didn't know much about silk, but he knew that it was very popular for export.

Zhao Si, the lamp lighter, was taken aback by He Jinzhao's question, he didn't know about Lu Si?

Zhao Siyi thought, He Jinzhao was born as a postman, so it is normal for him not to know about luxury goods.

"Boss, this Lu silk is a representative of the heyday of Shanxi silk. It was produced in Changzhi and is famous for Luzhou. It is as famous as Hangzhou satin and Shu brocade.

It is one of the three famous silks of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a tribute to the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. "

"We are rebels."

Hearing He Jinzhao's reminder, Zhao Si nodded, and then asked loudly:

"Chief coach, have you read "Today's Review of Coal"?"
