Chapter 527 Political Economy

Maybe it was because Xieli's arrival was too shocking, Yun Hao thought that a person who should not come to Chang'an, actually came.No matter what, Yunhao never imagined that Zhang Zhongjian, a bastard, would dare to come to Chang'an.

Yun Hao really wanted to kill this bastard, but he couldn't!After killing this bastard, Li Jing will fight himself desperately.Li Jing had just conquered the Eastern Turks, and would return to Chang'an from the grassland in half a month.At this time, it's better not to offend Li Jing who is in the limelight.

This guy bears the name of an envoy, and the king's stick is not lacking.It is said that the sincerity of Guoshu is extremely humble, and Li Er was very happy to read it.

The current Li Er is quite shameless, as long as the Guoshu praises him to his heart's content.He will happily show the demeanor of the emperor of the heaven, and the rewards are absolutely unambiguous.Just like Yuangai Suwen, a letter of flattery was mixed up with the name of King Goryeo of Dingzhu Kingdom.As for keeping Wang Gao Jianwu, Li Er didn't even mention it.

There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies between countries, only eternal interests!Hammerston's words are also valid in Datang.It turns out that politicians are pragmatists of this species.

Every time a tough neighbor comes, he will definitely come to the Nanshan Test Site.But except for big figures like Feng An, the others were received by people from Honglu Temple.Li Er didn't have time, so he led people to watch the explosion all day long.

Safety is important when watching such a brutal weapon.The case of Feng An is definitely an exception.But when Zhang Zhongjian came to see it, accidents were inevitable.

When the kerosene bombs were fired, the bastards increased the dose of kerosene bombs.At the same time, the torque of the trebuchet is reduced.Zhang Zhongjian wanted to see clearly again, so...!As a result, Zhang Zhongjian's face was smoked like an African chicken. Of course, the hair on his head also turned into big waves, as much as possible.Wear jeans and be a hippie.

After several days of raising Feng An, his ears finally got rid of the buzzing sound.Feng An is not Li Er, so of course he has to come to Chang'an for business.Drink with this one today, and eat with that one tomorrow.Eat, drink, have fun, and find out the details of Chang'an.

Those who can cede land and become kings all have two brushes.In just three to five days, Feng An figured out Yunhao's status among the nobles in Chang'an.Feng Ang regretted it very much. The momentary enthusiasm at the beginning caused a whole lot of trouble.

Smart people are smart people, after knowing Yun Hao's status.Feng An brought dozens of carts of local specialties to visit the famous Duke of Chu.It's also a beautiful name, and I want to taste the food of the Yun family.

Inquire about Yunhao's temperament early, and he didn't bring any medicinal materials, brocades, calligraphy and paintings, and the four treasures of the study.Huge coral, a whole piece of jade, and agate that can only be lifted by two people.Seeing Yunhao's heart bursting with joy, that is to say, this is the attitude that a visit should have.Seeing these things, all hatred and grievances are almost resolved.Unlike those sticks from the prairie, if you give me a thousand sheep and a hundred cows, will my family be short of sheep?
"Mr. Wu is too polite!" Looking at the huge agate, Yun Hao's eyes almost burst into laughter.A few days ago, when I saw the agate tabletop that Lao Cheng got for Qin Qiong, I was extremely jealous.Now Feng An sent this piece, which is more than double the size of Lao Cheng's.Grind it into a table, and it will not be a problem for three or five people to eat.

"Hehe! Duke Chu is a talented young man from the Tang Dynasty, and he wanted to visit him a long time ago. It's just a few days ago that my ears haven't healed yet. After seeing your Lintong along the way, the first town in my Tang Dynasty is Lintong from Duke Chu. Feng An is fifty-two this year, and this is the first time he has seen such a rich place after living for more than 50 years." Feng An spoke very sincerely, because what he said was the truth.

Looking at the world of the Tang Dynasty, Tongtong can be called the first in terms of prosperity.With the Yun Family as the center, the closer it radiates, the richer it will be.No way, they all produce industrial products.It is still closely related to the lives of ordinary people, and it is very difficult not to make money.Many things are limited to technical bottlenecks, and other nobles cannot imitate them even if they try to imitate them.

The wages in the factory are rising every year, and workers not only get year-end bonuses.There is also a perfect attendance award, which cannot be understood by a craftsman who has worked all his life.The father-in-law paid the wages, and going to work is a matter of course.Why set up a perfect attendance award? In the end, everyone unanimously agreed.The father-in-law was afraid that the big guy would have a hard time, so he set up a clever name to send money to himself.

The working class in Datang has dignity, and they believe that although they are not rich, they will never accept food that comes from nothing.

Organized a group of elderly workers to come to Yun's house to petition.Sternly rejecting the nonsense perfect attendance award, the firmness of his attitude made Yun Hao dumbfounded.I was so angry that my hands were shaking, and I had to persuade him.They are all in their 60s and [-]s. If there is a brain congestion, I will be in big trouble.

Even though Yun Hao was killed, he didn't expect that there would be a by-product of this incident.This organization of trade unions was born, this conscious organization of workers.The first thing to do when setting up is to check the accounts.As long as unreasonable benefits are found, they will be reduced.

In the words of the head of the trade union, the old rich man: "I have lived for nearly 60 years, and I have been in Lintong for the past few years when I can eat enough. I have meat every meal, and those who enjoy the blessings are sinful. You can't pay such a high salary. If you grow up to be a lazy person, there will be a day when you won’t be able to eat. My father-in-law is kind-hearted, but you can’t lose your family. If you lose Lintong, everyone will have to beg for food.”

Yun Hao really had nothing to say, not a single word.In the face of workers who automatically save money for themselves, what can you, a capitalist, say?
Feng An walked all the way and saw factories one after another.In a tidy worker's new village, the houses all look the same.They are all piled up, and I heard people say that the people living in the building eat, drink and scatter inside.Even mountain spring water can flow into the house automatically.

The streets of Lintong are as tidy as if they have been licked by a dog. They are horribly clean.The carriage traveled all the way, but there was not a single horse dung on the ground.In the carriages that come and go, there is a cloth bag hanging behind the horse's buttocks.Bullock carts, a common thing in the countryside, are nowhere to be seen.

People on the side of the street are waiting under a wooden sign.There was still a queue, and a huge carriage drove over.The people in the line boarded the carriage, and everyone threw money into the box of the carriage.

Feng Zhidai, who was in charge of inquiring about the news, told Feng An that this was called a public carriage.Everyone can take a carriage to the vicinity of their destination as long as they spend two big bucks.It is said that there is also a long-distance carriage that can always pull people to the gate of Chang'an City.

Feng An looked like an old farmer who had just entered the city, and Feng An was even more shocked by the row upon row of shops.Compared with Lintong, the Guangzhou business he is proud of is not worth mentioning at all.

Shocked one after another, Feng An completely surrendered.It is just such a county, and the annual tax is definitely higher than that of the thirteen prefectures in Lingnan.To learn from the capable Duke of Chu, Feng An is very interested in things that can make money.There are more than 30 sons in his family, and tens of thousands of servants need to support him.Although it holds the land of thirteen prefectures in Lingnan, Lingnan has always been a place where prisoners are dispatched.

The common people are so poor that most of them lose their scum. Although those barbarian kings don't lose their scum, they can only eat enough to fill their stomachs.Can you pick gold out of the mouths of people who eat bananas?

It is necessary to ask Chu Guogong for advice on how to make such a place.

"Mr. Wu holds the thirteen prefectures in south of the Five Ridges, and wants to do business with my younger brother?" Yun Hao said in surprise when he heard Feng An's request.

"There is a big problem. I heard that my brother has Tao Zhugong's ability. I specially came to ask my good brother to give me some advice." Feng An showed a humility that did not match his own status.

Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around. In fact, Yun Hao is also thinking about how to partner with Feng An in business.No way, their territory is in the tropics.Chang'an can't grow anything that other people can grow.Sugar cane in Lingnan often rots in the ground.Why don't you know how to squeeze white sugar, and I haven't seen what price white sugar is sold in Chang'an City.

There is also the rubber that Yunhao wants most. God knows what rubber means to the industry.With rubber, Yunhao is [-]% sure to make a steam engine.With the steam engine, mechanical power will make the world of Tang Dynasty advance by leaps and bounds.

I really miss the iron-clad ships running around, and I really miss the "woo" and "woo" Mercedes-Benz trains.Only by connecting this huge empire together can the country be prevented from falling apart.

Forget about the tobacco, just grow it in Chang'an and poison the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.There are many nobles in the Tang Dynasty, so it is no big deal to poison a group of people.

"Eh...! Smoke a cigarette!" Yun Hao took out an exquisite pure gold cigarette case, took out a cigarette and handed it to Feng An.I don't know when, Chang'an Xungui will offer each other cigarettes after meeting.

It was obvious to Feng An that he had already tasted the smell of tobacco.He took the cigarette roll that Yunhao handed over, and lit it with the match in Yunhao's hand.Take a deep breath, then exhale a long puff of smoke.

"I don't want to mention it, brother. Lingnan is rich in products, and Chang'an has a lot of purchasing power. Take white sugar as an example, it is worthless in Lingnan. But it is worth thousands of gold when it is transported to Chang'an. Why? Just huge.

If you want to make money in Lingnan, you can't do it with the natives.It's even worse on the common people, how much oil can you squeeze out of the lice? "

"Oh! My brother means...!" Feng An said, taking a puff of cigarette.

"Wu Gong wants to make money in Guangzhou, so he has to build ports. Fuzhou, Quanzhou, plus Guangzhou, Leizhou, and Qinzhou! All the ports are built, and things in Lingnan can follow the trade wind. Along the sea all the way north, the loading of sea ships The quantity is thousands of times that of ox carts and horse carts.

Walk along the coastline to Dengzhou, and then enter the canal to go straight to the Central Plains.The freight used will be greatly reduced. Taking white sugar as an example, the cost will be reduced by more than [-]%.It is not just white sugar that Lingnan can sell to Chang'an.At that time, I don't need anything else, just eat the tax from the port, and I will eat a lot of money. "

Feng An did not speak, but lowered his head to meditate.Yun Hao said it very temptingly, the tax revenue of the port is definitely a big income.But he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The tobacco smoke in his hand curled up, Feng An didn't speak, neither did Yun Hao.Feng Zhidai looked at his father nervously, while Yun Hao leaned on the back of the chair leisurely.

"Will the imperial court station troops in Lingnan?" Feng An expressed his worries. As a warlord, he was most worried about whether the imperial court would send troops to Lingnan.

"It's all the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so it is necessary to garrison troops. But, the thirteen prefectures are all owned by Wu Gong. If the imperial court garrisons cause conflicts, it will be bad. In my opinion, it was built by Wu Gong in Yazhou. A naval wharf. You also know that Yazhou is an island, and there is no output there. It is most appropriate for the imperial court to send troops to cultivate it. The imperial court invests money in maritime merchants, and there must be naval escorts, right?"

Yazhou is the Hainan Island of later generations.Hainan in these years is far from being a tourist destination in people's hearts.It is a place for officials who have made mistakes to reflect, and barbarians are rampant in poor mountains and rivers.Except for the typhoon and the scorching sun, there is nothing missing.It's really not suitable for human habitation!

It is most suitable for Yunhao to set up the naval base on Hainan Island.Surrounded by the sea, there is no need to worry about finding a good natural harbor.Moreover, Feng An would not be overly irritated.After all, people's desire for the sea these days is far less than their desire for the land.

Sure enough, Feng An heard that Yunhao wanted Yazhou.The tense face immediately relaxed, and no one would go to Yazhou.It's great that the imperial court wants that broken place!As long as the imperial court does not send troops to Lingnan, the Feng family's power will not be damaged in any way.

"If it's Yazhou, then of course there's no problem. The old man will conquer the people and choose a good port in Yazhou as a place for the imperial navy to station." Feng An agreed without thinking.

Yun Hao stretched out one palm, Feng An stretched out the other palm.The two palms hit each other with a "snap", which means that the heads of the two families have reached an agreement.As for the affairs of the imperial court, it is natural that the powerful Duke of Chu should coordinate.

After talking about the business, it is natural to eat and drink.It's just that Feng An always felt that Yunhao's smile was a little weird while drinking and drinking.

I still suffer from ignorance. Political economy is not something that ordinary people can understand.

The seaport built in Lingnan will greatly facilitate the north-south logistics.The North needs supplies from the South, and the South needs money from the North.After the money is too much, who the hell will still farm the land.When the thirteen prefectures in Lingnan couldn't get rid of the imperial court economically.It was Feng An's unlucky day, and he didn't need to use his sword at that time.As long as the Lingnan port is blocked, Feng An, who is devoted to commerce, can be starved to death.

After seeing off Feng An, Yun Hao had a uncertain smile on his face.Ships are easy to build, but harbors are not.If he did it by himself, it wouldn't be enough to fill the entire Yun Family.With Feng An as a big head, he can build several more ports in Lingnan without spending a penny.Moreover, there is also a naval base in Hainan.

Of course, even if Yun Hao was killed, he would not tell Feng An about planting rubber in Hainan.

A servant in his fifties appeared quietly behind Yun Hao. Yun Hao glanced back and said softly, "Go back and report to Your Majesty, the matter is over. Feng An has agreed to build a port in Lingnan!"
