On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 122
In fact, before Wei Yi came, Cui Che had thought about opening the beach fields privately for profit.

In the final analysis, he was forced by the word money and food.

Today's huge Cui Mansion is all supported by Yang Lihua's food town, which also makes Cui Che fall into self-doubt: I traveled to the Sui Dynasty, did I come to eat soft food? !

Although Yang Lihua doesn't care about it, according to her words:

'I gave the whole world to my father, so how can I argue with Cui Lang about money and food. '

But Cui Che still felt unable to straighten up in front of his wife.

Of course, after having intercourse every time, I was overworked and bent even more.

The reason why Cui Che did not take action for a long time was not because the people under him did not have business talents.

And Cui Che cherishes his reputation, and it is even more impossible for him to handle the salt business himself.

Now that Wei Yi took the initiative to mention it, Cui Che was naturally tempted, but he did not rush to agree, but pretended to hesitate.

Seeing his hesitation, Wei Yi continued to encourage him:
"We only need to open up a hundred mu of land to get ten thousand dendrobium of salt. If we sell it across the sea, Zicheng will know how much wealth this is!"

Cui Che was still silent.

Wei Yi was burning with anxiety, but he still persuaded him patiently:
"Jiaozhou has the convenience of sea transportation, and it is close to overseas countries, which is the geographical advantage;

"You are the governor of Qingzhou, and I am the governor of Jiaozhou, which is Renhe;

"Geography, people and harmony are all there, but we owe the weather. The so-called weather is just the weather on the sea. As long as we encounter strong winds and huge waves from time to time, you and I can save a huge fortune during the three-year tenure!"

Cui Che then sighed:

"Che was also tempted by what Wei Gong said, but Cui is not good at management."

Seeing that he let go, Wei Yi was overjoyed, immediately took the matter to himself, and interrupted:
"Zicheng doesn't need to worry about this, this matter will be handled by Wei. After the matter is completed, you and I will share the benefits equally."

The reason why Wei Yi insisted on getting Cui Che to join the gang, to make things right by himself, and to promise to share the benefits equally with him, was nothing more than three reasons.

One is that Cui Che promoted the officials arbitrarily before, and his eyes and ears are all over the four prefectures of Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju. If he really wants to do it alone, he can't hide it from him.

The second is that Wei Yi doesn't know the specific process of the sun-dried salt method, and the salt workers who know the sun-dried salt method are all under Cui Che's control.

The third and most important point is that Cui Che has [-] salt soldiers under his command, who are responsible for guarding the salt fields and inspecting the beaches along the coast.

If Cui Che is not brought into the gang, it is estimated that the site will be taken over before the salt is produced. This approach is also called the banning of illegal production dens.

Based on these three reasons, Wei Yi must have Cui Che's support in order to win this big deal.

Seeing that Wei Yidu had already offered such a generous offer, Cui Che finally let go and agreed.

The two agreed to open a hundred acres of beach fields privately, and Cui Che would dispatch the salt workers, and Wei Yi would be responsible for the rest. Cui Che sent his personal assistant Wang De to participate in the operation.

Wang De was the one who claimed to be Wang Wu and pretended to be a salt worker with Zhao Wen. He was also one of the house slaves who loyally protected Cui Lu when he rebelled.

Brothers have to settle their accounts clearly when doing business. The so-called Wang De's participation in the business is actually monitoring from it.

After the matter was settled, Wei Yi asked:

"Can Zicheng restrain his salt soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Che invited:

"Duke Wei might as well go with me to the barracks outside the city."

Wei Yi waved his hands and laughed:

"Wei was just asking casually. Since Zicheng is confident, Wei can feel relieved."

That night, Cui Che summoned Wang De and told all about his and Wei Yi's plan.

Wang De had never been to sea, and he knew nothing about overseas affairs, but he didn't hesitate at all.

The next day, Wang De followed Wei Yi and set off for Jiaozhou. In the next few days, Yu Wenkai, governor of Guangzhou, and Yuanbiao, governor of Juzhou, came to Dongyang City one after another, and visited Cui Che and Yang Lihua with their wives.

Looking at Yuan Biao's old-fashioned appearance, Cui Che was really worried that he would die in office.

And Pei Xiu and Huang Baiji were transferred long before Yu Wenkai and Yuan Biao to serve as chief historians in Guangzhou and Juzhou.

Cui Che used Pei Xiu to concurrently lead the Gwangju salt affairs, while the Juzhou salt affairs were of course handed over to Huang Baiji, and the Jiaozhou salt affairs were presided over by Governor Wei Yi.

As for Qingzhou Salt Affairs, Cui Che personally took charge of it, but in fact it was handled by Zhao Wen.

Cui Che divided the four battalions of salt soldiers into four states.

Inspect Qingzhou Tantian with the first battalion under Qin Qiong's command;
The second battalion under Wang Qing inspected the Jiaozhou beach;

The third battalion under Zhang Heng's command inspected the Tantian fields of Gwangju;

The fourth battalion under Zhou Kan inspected the Tantian fields in Juzhou.

Before the various ministries set off, Cui Che carefully told everyone not to forget the drills while making inspections.

Salt soldiers are also soldiers, so they have to learn some fighting skills.

After Wei Yi arrived in Jiaozhou, the salt workers sent by Cui Che arrived immediately, and the two of them soon started their plan.

There are [-] mu of beach land in Jiaozhou, and the [-] mu of beach land cultivated by Cui Che and Wei Yi privately is like a drop in the ocean.

The situation in the other two states was not far from what Cui Che had thought before.

Due to his old age and illness, Yuanbiao, the governor of Juzhou, had all affairs in the middle of the state handled by Huang Baiji, the governor of the state, and Huang Baiji was also in charge of the Juzhou salt affairs, so he was naturally dizzy with his busy schedule.

But he didn't feel tired either. Thinking that he was only a county magistrate last year, and he seemed to be an acting governor in just a few months, Huang Baiji felt full of energy.

And Cui Che also received rumors that because the Weihe River was sandy and the depth of the river was not fixed, the servants transporting grain to Guanzhong suffered greatly from it and complained a lot.

Therefore, the imperial court intends to divert water from the Weihe River to dig a [-]-mile-long channel between Daxing City and Tongguan, but the matter has not yet been settled.

But Cui Che knew that this would happen sooner or later, Guanzhong was really too poor, so he pointed to the water transport to send the grain from the east of the Guandong to Kansai, how could Yang Jian let the water transport problem go.

As for the person who presides over the opening of the canal, except for Yu Wenkai, the first contractor of the Sui Dynasty, no second person is considered.

On February 584th of the fourth year of Emperor Kaihuang ([-]), Zhao Yuanshu from Boling received a letter from Qingzhou. He was not in a hurry to open it, but surprised the messenger and said:

"Cui Qingzhou also knows that there is Zhao Yuanshu in this world!"

"I was ordered by the Patriarch to come here to ask Mr. to go to Qingzhou for a talk."

The messenger confirmed.

Zhao Yuanshu still couldn't believe it, not to mention how Cui Che knew about him, how could he get into the other party's eyes with his notoriety.

He didn't do anything bad, he just left his family in ruins.

Zhao Yuanshu did not come from a poor family. His father, Zhao Shimo, once served under the command of Gao Baoning, who ruled Western Liaoning separately.

Zhao Yuanshu was left in his hometown of Boling because heirs who had reached the age of 15 were not allowed to follow him.

Seeing that he was suspicious, the messenger had no choice but to take Zhao Yuanshu to the manor in Anping County, and proved that he was Cui Che's personal follower, so that Zhao Yuanshu believed that Cui Che really wanted to see him.
