Qingzhou, the center of wealth in the Six Dynasties, the ocean of golden baht.
Some people say that six of every ten gold coins in the world are circulating in Qingzhou.
Some people also say that half of the remaining four were controlled by Qingzhou merchants who were spread all over the Six Dynasties.
In Qingzhou, some are the myths of making money overnight, some are wealthy, some are gamblers who dare to take risks, and some are mercenaries who regard Jin Zhu as their faith.
Here are the most financially funded chambers of commerce and the largest fleet of ships in the Six Dynasties.
There are famous nobles who live here and enjoy the prosperity of the world; there are also killers who are poor and destitute who can kill people for lunch.
There are famous sects with believers all over the world, and there are also unknown unknown sects.
You can get sensational news in Qingzhou at any time, and it is also a breeding ground for spreading rumors.
Here are from India, Persia, and the Qin Dynasty...
The merchants in the places include strangers in the depths of the sea, and sailors who have seen the rumored 10 continents and three islands.
Here are the scholars with the richest knowledge, the saints with the noblest moral character, the most cunning liars, and the most greedy profiteers.Of course, beautiful prostitutes and enchanting girls are also indispensable.
All of this woven into the most fascinating legend of the Six Dynasties, the only Qingzhou in the world.Cheng Zongyang’s first feeling about Qingzhou was a city without a wall.Jiankang also does not have a wall that surrounds the city, but there are countless small cities.Qingzhou is completely an unguarded commercial city. Apart from Yeying Pass hundreds of miles away, Qingzhou Port only has crisscrossing waterways, neatly repaired dams, continuous houses and magnificent buildings and pavilions.
In order to avoid trouble, Zang Xiu chose his residence in a small courtyard in the south of the city. Although it is not as thoughtful as the inn, it is secluded. Outside the alley is the main road and behind the courtyard is the waterway, which is very convenient to enter and exit.
On the way, Xiao Zi and Yue Shuang were on the same car, and they didn't know what the two sisters were talking about on the way. Yue Shuang couldn't see anything strange in her expression.
She ignored her, just said a few words to Xiao Zi, then turned over and left straight.
Fu Run said: Lao Cheng, I will take my brothers back to the house first, send the things left by Lao Zhang home, and then come to find you.Nothing needs to be said!You are in Qingzhou for one day, and Feng Dafa and I will accompany you for one day!I have to let you have fun in Qingzhou!Lao Zang!Wait for me to come and have a drink with you!
Zang Xiu agreed with a smile.
When the people from the Xuexiao Mercenary Group walked away, he turned around and said: This yard was bought more than ten years ago. No one could find out that our Pengyi Society came from the head, and the young master lived here.
Qin Hui smiled and said: Are the people selling cooked cakes and tea shops in the alleys their own people?
Zang Xiu picked up his thumb, Brother Qin has good eyesight!They are all our brothers.
Cheng Zongyang said: Let’s just withdraw.You can see it with a glance, but you can't hide it from anyone who wants it.Anyway, we are here to travel and we don’t plan to cause trouble.
yes!
Zang Xiu agreed and went to make arrangements.Xiao Zi stretched and sat so sleepy that I wanted to go to bed.
Hello, aren't you going shopping with me?
Let Qin Sha Gua accompany you.
Qin Hui said calmly: Let’s accompany the young master to have a cup of tea.
Cheng Zongyang raised his voice and left!Let's go to the kiln!
Xiao Zi made a face, she was a puppy if she didn't go shopping.
The tea shop in the alley has closed its stalls, and there are no signs of those selling cooked cakes. I just don’t know if Zang Xiu has left any secret whistles.
As for Yueshuang, there must be a series of people who secretly guard it.
Meng Feiqing is discussing business outside and is rushing back to Qingzhou tomorrow and has made an appointment to meet.
After Cheng Zongyang had seen him, he would see if he should release Quan Yuji, the bait, and lead the sword to the hook.
After leaving the alley, the market outside is bustling, with pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively.
Compared with Jiankang, the waterways at Qingzhou Port are denser, and an arch bridge can be found in three or five steps.
Houses are built near the water, all of which are exquisite attics; red curtains and jade yarns are hung in the light green glass windows, and some are still bead curtains, showing the strong financial resources of the people of Qingzhou.
It is still far from the port, and there is no forest-like mast in the bay. When the wind comes, the bead curtains roll over and the air floats the breath of the ocean.
The smoke and willows painted bridges, the wind curtains and green curtains, and the 100,000 families are uneven.
Qin Hui sighed: Why are there only 100,000 families in Qingzhou?
It is undeniable that this traitorous minister is knowledgeable, has a dignified appearance, elegant conversation and beautiful words. He is a good chat partner.
Cheng Zongyang said as he walked: Salt and Tie, two profitable businesses, were run by the Six Dynasties governments. What business can Qingzhou people do so big?
First, overseas trade.From selling silk porcelain in the Six Dynasties to overseas, they exchanged various jewelry and rare treasures, and the profit was too rich than salt and iron.The other is the money house.In the General Chamber of Commerce, there are seven money banks.In addition to food, there is also animal husbandry.
There is a horse farm in Qingzhou?
Baishui Town in Qingzhou has the best horse farm in the Six Dynasties, and thousands of horses are produced every year.The white water foal in Qingzhou is no less than the famous horse outside the border.Cheng Zongyang remembered Xiao Yaoyi's mount, and the white water horse also came from Qingzhou.There are so many chambers of commerce in Qingzhou, which ones are the biggest ones?
The biggest merchants in Qingzhou are the Bo family and the Chu family.But the Bo family focuses on marine trade, and is not as powerful as the Chu family's money houses that cover the Six Dynasties and are very popular.Then there are the Tao and Zhu.The Dow also opened a money shop, claiming that the gold baht is as numerous as mud and sand.The Zhu family monopolized 70% of the rice business in Qingzhou, and they were all big businesses that were rich enough to rival the country.
There are many shops in the street market, and there are hawking vendors everywhere.
The two of them walked around a bend and suddenly saw a courtyard with white walls and gray tiles. There was a plaque of pearl curtains in front of the door. The courtyard was covered with green willows, which made it a unique quiet in the downtown area.
Cheng Zongyang remembered that there were many academy words on the brochure he had obtained, and asked: It seems that there are many academy in Qingzhou?
There are many more chambers of commerce, sects, and academies in Qingzhou.
Qin Huidao'' Most of the military generals of the Six Dynasties were from the Emperor's Title Mansion in Chang'an, and most of the civil servants were from the Luoyang Imperial Academy, and almost all the doctors from the Imperial Academy have traveled to study in Qingzhou.Since the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has money to support it, there are also many sects of various sects.
Rich and studious, these businesses in Qingzhou are very elegant.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: What's more, this is also a big business.
Qin Hui smiled and said: What the young master sees is not bad.Qingzhou gathered elites from various factions of the Six Dynasties, which was also of great benefit to the people of Suizhou doing business.
I heard that the local officials in Qingzhou were appointed by the State of Song?
Except for the official welcome and sending, Qingzhou magistrate cannot get involved in any other matters, it is just a title of honor.The Qingzhou General Chamber of Commerce is the real control of Jingzhou.
Qin Hui explained: The General Chamber of Commerce is composed of the thirteen largest chambers of commerce in Qingzhou, each occupying one seat.The so-called magistrates, every four years, the General Chamber of Commerce drafted a list and submitted it to Lin'an, and one person was selected by the Song main circle.
Qin Hui said: This time, the King of Linchuan was forced to retreat by Xie Youdu. Prime Minister Wang promised to open the Guangyang Canal. The Yun family missed a blow and changed its course and focused on business.When Yun Liuye was stationed in Qingzhou, he wanted the Yun family to have a place in the Qingzhou General Chamber of Commerce.
I have never met Yun Zhifeng, the leader of the Yun generation.Cheng Zongyang said: Since you have arrived in Qingzhou, you should visit him.
I have asked, and the Yun family said that Master Yun Liu was stranded in Luoyang, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back after spring.
Cheng Zongyang remembered Yun Zhifeng lobbying the countries, and he didn't know if he sold the Linjiang Buddha.Qin Hui reminded: Young Master, the brothel is there.
Come on, just have a cup of tea.
Qin Hui smiled and said...Dare not to obey the order.
The two went to the teahouse, found a seat next to the window, and ordered two cups of tea.
The tea on the store is still crushed by tea cakes, as white as milk, and the tea noodles are covered with a layer of fine foam, which is fragrant.
The two of them were drinking tea to moisten their throats while browsing the scenery of Qingzhou.
Suddenly there was a bustling downstairs, and a man in a long gown walked in and shouted: Xiao Yiding.Come bring tea!
Take tea with a little bite.Zhang Shiyi, what new things are there today?
Zhang Shiyi took out a folding fan from his sleeve, opened the brush, and then said slowly: Master Jia was angry and sealed Yunshui, and the soldiers in Jiangzhou City were approaching.The treasures are all released, and when will the world be disrupted?
After saying these words, Zhang Shiyi picked up the tea and drank it slowly.Although Zhang Shiyi's tone was not high, every word was very clear, and his tone was ups and downs, attracting the attention of guests upstairs and downstairs as soon as he said.
Qin Hui said... This is a storyteller from Qingzhou Port.Some tell history, some tell ecstasy, some tell gods and ghosts, and some tell mystery.Some people talk about the recent news in teahouses and restaurants, and they have to pay a few tea money to make a living.
Cheng Zongyang understood.Simply put, giving him a microphone is an underground radio station.Someone upstairs couldn't help but say: Zhang Shiyi, everyone knows about Grandmaster Jia Feng Yunshui, what are you talking about later on?i Zhang Shiyi bowed and said: Don’t be impatient when you are at your feet, and listen to the little ones.Think about how could Taishi Jia be ranked first in the State of Song and be in charge of military and national affairs? How could he block Yunshui and cut off the wealth of the whole world?In the past few days, countless ships have been moored, from north to south, visiting relatives and friends, and selling goods and seeking wealth. Everyone is anxious.Some goods were set for a time, and they lost a lot of gold baht after a day. In just three days, the weather had already poured water, hung beams, and abandoned the orphan wife, and died.The little one saw it and was anxious in his heart. In the past two days, he only found out the whole story.It turned out that Grand Master Jia wanted to take great force against Jiangzhou, but in desperation, this bad strategy came out.
Someone said: Isn’t Jiangzhou from Jin State?
This guest said it well!
Zhang Shiyi said: When the young man heard this, he was also shocked., Could it be that Grand Master Jia wants to fight with Jin State?This is a major event that has not been seen in the Six Dynasties for many years, and later I realized that there was something strange about this.Seeing Zhang Shiyi picking up the tea again, a guest upstairs laughed and scolded: This killer material is kept in hiding!The left and right are making up some comments and asking for some money.
Zhang Shiyi said, "This is a bad thing for the guest official!"Although the young man made a living by telling books, he was like you who came to the teahouse and was always a guest of tea. He talked about some gossip to each other, so how could he have a penny!If the guest officials were willing to listen, the young man said directly that I Jiangzhou is no longer surnamed Jin!
The teahouse was in an uproar, and Zhang Shiyi was calm and waited for everyone to calm down before he said: The truth is that Mr. Xiao of Jin was dissatisfied with the debauchery of the Jin king, and angrily turned to Jiankang. Now the father and son occupy Jiang and Ningzhou of Jin, and have long been cedeed to be king.
Then what's the matter with Song State?
Jin State was short of soldiers and had no choice but to seek the State of Song State.Wang Prime Minister wrote a letter in person, asking Grandmaster Jia to send troops to quell the rebellion, and hoped that after the matter would be completed, the land of Jiangzhou would be rewarded!
Amid the uproar, Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui looked at each other and shook their heads. The storyteller was obviously trustworthy.
Wang Maohong wrote a letter asking Jia Shixian to send troops to quell the rebellion?
If Old Man Wang reaches this point, he will not be Wang Maohong anymore.
Cheng Zongyang thinks more about it.
Lu Jing said at that time that Wang Maohong sat in the mountains to watch the tigers fighting, and let Xingyue Lake compete with the Song army.
But when Wang Maohong talked to him, he expressed his intention to let the younger generation go and do things. He was watching Xiao Yaoyi's actions in Jiangzhou, and he might not really want to use the sword of Song to get rid of Xingyue Lake.
The State of Song even did such a taboo as dispatching troops into Jin, which shows that it was as fearful as snakes and scorpions towards Xingyue Lake.
From Wang Maohong's standpoint, letting the Song army come and go freely within the Jin State, it is difficult for the superiors and subordinates to explain, so it is even worse to directly dispatch the Jin army to become enemies with the Song State.
It is very likely that Wang Maohong will support Jiangzhou behind his back, so that Xingyue Lake and the Song army will be in a consumption battle; the Song State's offensive was setback and it was stopped under the city of Jiangzhou, and Xingyue Lake was greatly reduced, and there would be no major storms in the future.
In this way, the one who should really worry is Jia Shixian. I am afraid he will still have to beg Wang Maohong to avoid the Song army and Jiangzhou fighting hard, and the Jin army suddenly appeared behind him.
Zhang Shiyi's eyebrows were flying and his teeth were full of wind. He described the Xiao family's father and son as Pojun Star, which made the civil and military officials of Jin unable to fight back. He watched them occupy Jiang and Ningzhou.
Then the conversation changed and said that Grand Master Jia was not a good person, and he had long coveted Jiangzhou. Prime Minister Wang, a good man, brought the wolf into the house, was afraid that he would suffer a great loss.
It is precisely so that Mr. Xiao and his son occupied Jiangzhou and raised a big banner.After thinking about it, Grand Master Jia had to seal Yunshui.
Zhang Shiyi said as he folded the folding fan. Everyone, that’s all for today, I’ll say goodbye!
You Zhang Shiyi!Why do you say halfway through?After talking for a long time, I didn’t say why Master Jia wanted Feng Yunshui. Will we come and listen to your noise tomorrow?
Zhang Shiyi said in embarrassment: I'm going to hide it from you. In order to inquire about these things, I have worn out my mouth and ran away in the past few days. I also have to invite people who are in the information to drink and owe a lot of debts.Now I have to go to the venue and say that Duan Shu has paid back the money he owed.You should know why Grand Master Jia sealed Yunshui and who got the treasure. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
The guest was in high spirits and was willing to let him go, so someone said: You are talking to the story, so it is better to say it!This money has been taken!
Zhang Shiyi bowed and said: Thank you for your reward!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help laughing at the storyteller's tricks, but then he couldn't laugh.Zhang Shiyi got the money and sat down again.This matter is a long story. If it were just Mr. Xiao and his son, Grand Master Jia sent their generals Xia Yeyan and Xia Yonghe to fight.But Mr. Xiao and his son received several more help.The way is the birth of the eight horses, and the world is in chaos.These eight horses are Tieli, Tiansi, Long Ji, Fantasy Joy, Yun Ji, Qing Ji, Zhu Hua, and Xuan Qi!Speaking of the iron horse, it is the head of the eight horses, and it is born with copper heads and iron foreheads, and eats sand and stones!When he heard that Mr. Xiao and his son occupied Jiangzhou, he brought his brothers to join him and offered a great gift, which was the treasure of Persian Zoroastrianism, and helped Mr. Xiao to raise his troops!
Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui went on blind dates. Listening to Zhang Shiyi Fei, he talked about Tieliu snatching the treasure map from the Zoroastrianism, how to kill dragons and tigers to take out the treasures, buy a large number of weapons, and transport them from Yunshui to Jiangzhou.
Grandmaster Jia was holding a beautiful woman in his arms and fighting snail crickets. Hearing this, he was so angry that he threw the can of banners. While ordering to block the clouds and water, he also launched all elite troops to attack Jiangzhou.
Zhang Shiyi's words were in full of Romance tone. Not 10% of them were true, but the information revealed was not simple.
Especially the key points of Meng Feiqing, Treasure and Zoroastrianism.
Yu Ziyuan said that Pengyi Society was not profitable, but Meng Feiqing used a large amount of money to buy food and weapons, which he already felt strange.
Corresponding to the legend of the storyteller, is it because of the treasure that Yue Shuai and Zoroastrianism have become enemies?
The treasure finally fell into Meng Feiqing's hands, and it was taken out to support Xingyue Lake's comeback?
The rewards kept throwing in, and Zhang Shiyi made a fortune; after saying this, he said goodbye with his fists and left.Qin Hui smiled calmly: This guy is so eloquent, and he is not confused at all in a long article.This is not a place to talk about, Cheng Zongyang took a sip of tea to suppress his doubts.The reputation of the market is really interesting. Speaking of Prime Minister Wang, he is a good person, and it makes people worry about him if you hear it.Speaking of Tai Shi Jia, he just wants to find beauty to fight crickets.When Zhang Shiyi talked about Grand Master Jia, I saw a scholar cursing. Since Grand Master Jia values literature and suppresses military affairs, why is it not very famous among the literati?
Qin Hui said: This matter starts with Fang Tianjun Tax Law.The Song Dynasty was the poorest in the Six Dynasties.Jia Shixian implemented the square-field tax law, measured the land in the Song Dynasty, divided it into five levels, and determined the tax amount one by one.Those that are insufficient to meet the standards can be exempted from tax.
This is a good thing.Everyone will make clear the land and pay taxes according to the grade, and no one will suffer any losses.
Qin Hui smiled slightly. For some people, not taking advantage is a loss.Speaking of the poverty and weakness of Song State, Song State is actually not poor at all, but the government cannot collect the money.Local tyrants occupy a large amount of fertile land, but their taxes are extremely low.The small peasant barely makes money, but the tax paid accounts for half of the taxes.As this continues, the poorer the poorer the richer the richer.
Jia Shixian re-measures the land and touches on the interests of powerful people. Most of the literati were from wealthy families, so of course they would scold Jia Shixian.
Qin Hui had a taste of tea.If this Fangtianjun tax law cannot be implemented, it will be abolished. Once it is forcibly implemented, not only will the Grand Master Jia be ruined, but the State of Song is also at risk of the fall of the country.
Someone suddenly said next to him: How do you say this?
Cheng Zongyang turned his head and looked at it. There were two men sitting in the tea seat behind him. One of them was over 50 years old. His hair was dyed like ink, his eyes were bright and his energy was vigorous.
The other one is elegant and gentle. Both of them are wearing casual clothes and black-horned scarves, looking like scholars who came to Qingzhou to study.
Qin Hui smiled and said: Fang Tianjun's tax law was not pioneered by Grand Master Jia. It has been more than a hundred years since Duke Wang Jing proposed this method. Because Duke Jing is very talented and difficult to implement, we can see how difficult this method is.The old man said: It depends on man.
How easy is it to build a clear state on a flat ground?But there is Qingzhou in the world.Jia Taishi has a high position and a powerful position. What's the difficulty of implementing a decree?
Qin Hui said: When the country first started, there were few powerful households and many middle-class people.Once the maintenance is over, the rich will merge the land and become richer. The capital of one household is enough to cover the middle-class tens of thousands of families, while the amount of tax paid is less than 100 households.The extremely poor have no tax to collect, and the powerful do not pay the tax at all. Most of the taxes levied fall into middle-class families.If all middle-class families are destroyed without hundreds of years, the country will be in danger.Master Jia saw the disadvantages of this and implemented the Fangtianjun tax law as the original intention of suppressing the powerful and helping the poor, but there were three losses.
The old man said coldly: I would like to hear the details.
Qin Hui raised a finger, and one of them said to underestimate the enemy.Taishi Jia was a tough man and regarded the powerful as nothing. Not only did he remeasure the land, but he also limited the land to purchase it at an affordable price by the government and divided it with the poor households.But the reason why the powerful are powerful is because of their strong wealth.If Fang Tianjun tax law takes over his land, he will inevitably turn against him. How can Taishi Jia fight against a powerful country with his own strength?
One by one is impetuousness.You may as well be happy and you must be careful in governing the country.The Tao Te Ching says: Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food.The tax law of square fields covers the entire land, and even in fifty years, it may not be able to be cleared. You can only slowly draw it.
However, Grand Master Jia hurriedly implemented the law, and officials at all levels committed fraud in order to complete the law, which aroused hatred of the powerful, fearing that the government would be terminated without waiting for the death of others.
Qin Hui raised his first fingers one by one, one by one, because Grandmaster Jia was more tough in his governance and was not smooth enough, and he always had headaches and pain in his feet, but failed to plan far-reachingly.If I was not mistaken, Grand Master Jia urgently implemented the Fangtianjun tax law, because the Song Dynasty was in trouble.
The light in the old man's pupils flashed: It is well known that the taxes in the State of Song are not enough, and it is not surprising.
Qin Hui smiled and said... The State of Song tolerated Qingzhou because it was because it borrowed a lot of money from the big merchants in Qingzhou?Now that Grandmaster Jia has launched another army to attack Jiangzhou, I wonder where the money comes from?
The old man laughed. Although the Song State is poor and weak, he may not be able to fight even a single battle.
Qin Hui said: If Grand Master Jia wants to implement the Fangtianjun tax law, he should not fight.If you want to fight, you can only suspend this method.If both are together, the army fights outside and the powerful are in chaos inside, the loss of grain output in the Song Dynasty this year is considered to be small.In addition, the military spending has increased significantly, and it will be overwhelmed in a few months.
The old man raised his head slightly. In your opinion, how should the political affairs of the State of Song be implemented?
The worst strategy is to seek stability.The army was closed and the tax law was discontinued.
What about Zhongce?
Xu Yi Xiang's honor.Insufficient revenue, impediment.
Receive officials with money?
The old man laughed: The way to destroy the country!
No.
Qin Hui smiled and said: "Tian is worthy of title."In the past, most of the donations were the monarchs who were eager to get money and were eager to get money, so they sold them at the price of the imperial court.A third-rank official position only costs one million yuan, and it will be useless if you use it casually. However, the court will get a trauma, which will cause great harm.This method does not take money or sell official positions.A thousand soft one viscount is obtained, and a thousand acres are obtained. The country benefits and the wealthy are named. Isn’t it easier to forcefully purchase land?
The old man was silent for a long time: What is the best strategy?
Qin Hui smiled but refused to answer.
The scholar next to him sighed slightly and said: Master, it’s getting late, I’m afraid that a visitor will come later.The old man suddenly said: "Your honor, your surname?"
My surname is Qin and his name is Hui, and his name is Huizhi.
The old man murmured: Qin Huizhi... is he a scholar studying in Qingzhou?
Qin Hui smiled and said: I'm with you.
merchant?
The old man raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but show a hint of contempt, but hesitated after thinking of Qin Hui's words, do you intend to become an official?
As a companion in the lower body, we naturally have to follow the head of the family.
oh?
This is in the next head of the family, Mr. Cheng.
Cheng Zongyang clasped his fists and said: I have met my father-in-law.
The old man looked at Cheng Zongyang for a few glances. He was young and could control such a talented man.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: This is Brother Qin giving me face.
The old man's attention was on Qin Hui. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look at him with a bright look. What a companion to give the head of the family face. No wonder this kind of person is willing to serve you.
The old man stood up and said to Qin Hui... If you change your mind one day, come to Lin'an to find me.
He turned around and said, "Qianyu."
The scribe bowed and said, "I am Liao Qunyu."If Mr. Cheng and Mr. Qin come here, just look for Mr. Liao, the Yueshengtang in Lin'an.
Undefeated.
The old man patted Qin Hui on the shoulder and wanted to say something. After thinking for a while, he finally turned into a long sigh.If I do business, I'm afraid I'm not better than you.After saying that, the old man shook his head and turned around and left.Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Come up and have a sip of tea. First, I listened to a legend of gods and ghosts, and then listened to your great principles of governing the country. This sip of tea is quite good.
Qin Hui raised his eyebrows.Liao Qunyu... Yueshengtang... Could it be that Lin'an who is famous for engraving and collecting books?Why did he come to Qingzhou?
Some people say that six of every ten gold coins in the world are circulating in Qingzhou.
Some people also say that half of the remaining four were controlled by Qingzhou merchants who were spread all over the Six Dynasties.
In Qingzhou, some are the myths of making money overnight, some are wealthy, some are gamblers who dare to take risks, and some are mercenaries who regard Jin Zhu as their faith.
Here are the most financially funded chambers of commerce and the largest fleet of ships in the Six Dynasties.
There are famous nobles who live here and enjoy the prosperity of the world; there are also killers who are poor and destitute who can kill people for lunch.
There are famous sects with believers all over the world, and there are also unknown unknown sects.
You can get sensational news in Qingzhou at any time, and it is also a breeding ground for spreading rumors.
Here are from India, Persia, and the Qin Dynasty...
The merchants in the places include strangers in the depths of the sea, and sailors who have seen the rumored 10 continents and three islands.
Here are the scholars with the richest knowledge, the saints with the noblest moral character, the most cunning liars, and the most greedy profiteers.Of course, beautiful prostitutes and enchanting girls are also indispensable.
All of this woven into the most fascinating legend of the Six Dynasties, the only Qingzhou in the world.Cheng Zongyang’s first feeling about Qingzhou was a city without a wall.Jiankang also does not have a wall that surrounds the city, but there are countless small cities.Qingzhou is completely an unguarded commercial city.

She ignored her, just said a few words to Xiao Zi, then turned over and left straight.
Fu Run said: Lao Cheng, I will take my brothers back to the house first, send the things left by Lao Zhang home, and then come to find you.Nothing needs to be said!You are in Qingzhou for one day, and Feng Dafa and I will accompany you for one day!I have to let you have fun in Qingzhou!Lao Zang!Wait for me to come and have a drink with you!
Zang Xiu agreed with a smile.
When the people from the Xuexiao Mercenary Group walked away, he turned around and said: This yard was bought more than ten years ago. No one could find out that our Pengyi Society came from the head, and the young master lived here.
Qin Hui smiled and said: Are the people selling cooked cakes and tea shops in the alleys their own people?
Zang Xiu picked up his thumb, Brother Qin has good eyesight!They are all our brothers.
Cheng Zongyang said: Let’s just withdraw.You can see it with a glance, but you can't hide it from anyone who wants it.Anyway, we are here to travel and we don’t plan to cause trouble.
yes!
Zang Xiu agreed and went to make arrangements.Xiao Zi stretched and sat so sleepy that I wanted to go to bed.
Hello, aren't you going shopping with me?
Let Qin Sha Gua accompany you.
Qin Hui said calmly: Let’s accompany the young master to have a cup of tea.
Cheng Zongyang raised his voice and left!Let's go to the kiln!
Xiao Zi made a face, she was a puppy if she didn't go shopping.
The tea shop in the alley has closed its stalls, and there are no signs of those selling cooked cakes. I just don’t know if Zang Xiu has left any secret whistles.
As for Yueshuang, there must be a series of people who secretly guard it.
Meng Feiqing is discussing business outside and is rushing back to Qingzhou tomorrow and has made an appointment to meet.
After Cheng Zongyang had seen him, he would see if he should release Quan Yuji, the bait, and lead the sword to the hook.
After leaving the alley, the market outside is bustling, with pedestrians shoulder to shoulder, and it is very lively.
Compared with Jiankang, the waterways at Qingzhou Port are denser, and an arch bridge can be found in three or five steps.
Houses are built near the water, all of which are exquisite attics; red curtains and jade yarns are hung in the light green glass windows, and some are still bead curtains, showing the strong financial resources of the people of Qingzhou.
It is still far from the port, and there is no forest-like mast in the bay. When the wind comes, the bead curtains roll over and the air floats the breath of the ocean.
The smoke and willows painted bridges, the wind curtains and green curtains, and the 100,000 families are uneven.
Qin Hui sighed: Why are there only 100,000 families in Qingzhou?
It is undeniable that this traitorous minister is knowledgeable, has a dignified appearance, elegant conversation and beautiful words. He is a good chat partner.
Cheng Zongyang said as he walked: Salt and Tie, two profitable businesses, were run by the Six Dynasties governments. What business can Qingzhou people do so big?
First, overseas trade.From selling silk porcelain in the Six Dynasties to overseas, they exchanged various jewelry and rare treasures, and the profit was too rich than salt and iron.The other is the money house.In the General Chamber of Commerce, there are seven money banks.In addition to food, there is also animal husbandry.
There is a horse farm in Qingzhou?
Baishui Town in Qingzhou has the best horse farm in the Six Dynasties, and thousands of horses are produced every year.The white water foal in Qingzhou is no less than the famous horse outside the border.Cheng Zongyang remembered Xiao Yaoyi's mount, and the white water horse also came from Qingzhou.There are so many chambers of commerce in Qingzhou, which ones are the biggest ones?
The biggest merchants in Qingzhou are the Bo family and the Chu family.But the Bo family focuses on marine trade, and is not as powerful as the Chu family's money houses that cover the Six Dynasties and are very popular.Then there are the Tao and Zhu.The Dow also opened a money shop, claiming that the gold baht is as numerous as mud and sand.The Zhu family monopolized 70% of the rice business in Qingzhou, and they were all big businesses that were rich enough to rival the country.
There are many shops in the street market, and there are hawking vendors everywhere.
The two of them walked around a bend and suddenly saw a courtyard with white walls and gray tiles. There was a plaque of pearl curtains in front of the door. The courtyard was covered with green willows, which made it a unique quiet in the downtown area.
Cheng Zongyang remembered that there were many academy words on the brochure he had obtained, and asked: It seems that there are many academy in Qingzhou?
There are many more chambers of commerce, sects, and academies in Qingzhou.
Qin Huidao'' Most of the military generals of the Six Dynasties were from the Emperor's Title Mansion in Chang'an, and most of the civil servants were from the Luoyang Imperial Academy, and almost all the doctors from the Imperial Academy have traveled to study in Qingzhou.Since the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has money to support it, there are also many sects of various sects.
Rich and studious, these businesses in Qingzhou are very elegant.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: What's more, this is also a big business.
Qin Hui smiled and said: What the young master sees is not bad.Qingzhou gathered elites from various factions of the Six Dynasties, which was also of great benefit to the people of Suizhou doing business.
I heard that the local officials in Qingzhou were appointed by the State of Song?
Except for the official welcome and sending, Qingzhou magistrate cannot get involved in any other matters, it is just a title of honor.The Qingzhou General Chamber of Commerce is the real control of Jingzhou.
Qin Hui explained: The General Chamber of Commerce is composed of the thirteen largest chambers of commerce in Qingzhou, each occupying one seat.The so-called magistrates, every four years, the General Chamber of Commerce drafted a list and submitted it to Lin'an, and one person was selected by the Song main circle.
Qin Hui said: This time, the King of Linchuan was forced to retreat by Xie Youdu. Prime Minister Wang promised to open the Guangyang Canal. The Yun family missed a blow and changed its course and focused on business.When Yun Liuye was stationed in Qingzhou, he wanted the Yun family to have a place in the Qingzhou General Chamber of Commerce.
I have never met Yun Zhifeng, the leader of the Yun generation.Cheng Zongyang said: Since you have arrived in Qingzhou, you should visit him.
I have asked, and the Yun family said that Master Yun Liu was stranded in Luoyang, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back after spring.
Cheng Zongyang remembered Yun Zhifeng lobbying the countries, and he didn't know if he sold the Linjiang Buddha.Qin Hui reminded: Young Master, the brothel is there.
Come on, just have a cup of tea.
Qin Hui smiled and said...Dare not to obey the order.
The two went to the teahouse, found a seat next to the window, and ordered two cups of tea.
The tea on the store is still crushed by tea cakes, as white as milk, and the tea noodles are covered with a layer of fine foam, which is fragrant.
The two of them were drinking tea to moisten their throats while browsing the scenery of Qingzhou.
Suddenly there was a bustling downstairs, and a man in a long gown walked in and shouted: Xiao Yiding.Come bring tea!
Take tea with a little bite.Zhang Shiyi, what new things are there today?
Zhang Shiyi took out a folding fan from his sleeve, opened the brush, and then said slowly: Master Jia was angry and sealed Yunshui, and the soldiers in Jiangzhou City were approaching.The treasures are all released, and when will the world be disrupted?
After saying these words, Zhang Shiyi picked up the tea and drank it slowly.Although Zhang Shiyi's tone was not high, every word was very clear, and his tone was ups and downs, attracting the attention of guests upstairs and downstairs as soon as he said.
Qin Hui said... This is a storyteller from Qingzhou Port.Some tell history, some tell ecstasy, some tell gods and ghosts, and some tell mystery.Some people talk about the recent news in teahouses and restaurants, and they have to pay a few tea money to make a living.
Cheng Zongyang understood.Simply put, giving him a microphone is an underground radio station.Someone upstairs couldn't help but say: Zhang Shiyi, everyone knows about Grandmaster Jia Feng Yunshui, what are you talking about later on?i Zhang Shiyi bowed and said: Don’t be impatient when you are at your feet, and listen to the little ones.Think about how could Taishi Jia be ranked first in the State of Song and be in charge of military and national affairs? How could he block Yunshui and cut off the wealth of the whole world?In the past few days, countless ships have been moored, from north to south, visiting relatives and friends, and selling goods and seeking wealth. Everyone is anxious.Some goods were set for a time, and they lost a lot of gold baht after a day. In just three days, the weather had already poured water, hung beams, and abandoned the orphan wife, and died.The little one saw it and was anxious in his heart. In the past two days, he only found out the whole story.It turned out that Grand Master Jia wanted to take great force against Jiangzhou, but in desperation, this bad strategy came out.
Someone said: Isn’t Jiangzhou from Jin State?
This guest said it well!
Zhang Shiyi said: When the young man heard this, he was also shocked., Could it be that Grand Master Jia wants to fight with Jin State?This is a major event that has not been seen in the Six Dynasties for many years, and later I realized that there was something strange about this.Seeing Zhang Shiyi picking up the tea again, a guest upstairs laughed and scolded: This killer material is kept in hiding!The left and right are making up some comments and asking for some money.
Zhang Shiyi said, "This is a bad thing for the guest official!"Although the young man made a living by telling books, he was like you who came to the teahouse and was always a guest of tea. He talked about some gossip to each other, so how could he have a penny!If the guest officials were willing to listen, the young man said directly that I Jiangzhou is no longer surnamed Jin!
The teahouse was in an uproar, and Zhang Shiyi was calm and waited for everyone to calm down before he said: The truth is that Mr. Xiao of Jin was dissatisfied with the debauchery of the Jin king, and angrily turned to Jiankang. Now the father and son occupy Jiang and Ningzhou of Jin, and have long been cedeed to be king.
Then what's the matter with Song State?
Jin State was short of soldiers and had no choice but to seek the State of Song State.Wang Prime Minister wrote a letter in person, asking Grandmaster Jia to send troops to quell the rebellion, and hoped that after the matter would be completed, the land of Jiangzhou would be rewarded!
Amid the uproar, Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui looked at each other and shook their heads. The storyteller was obviously trustworthy.
Wang Maohong wrote a letter asking Jia Shixian to send troops to quell the rebellion?
If Old Man Wang reaches this point, he will not be Wang Maohong anymore.
Cheng Zongyang thinks more about it.
Lu Jing said at that time that Wang Maohong sat in the mountains to watch the tigers fighting, and let Xingyue Lake compete with the Song army.
But when Wang Maohong talked to him, he expressed his intention to let the younger generation go and do things. He was watching Xiao Yaoyi's actions in Jiangzhou, and he might not really want to use the sword of Song to get rid of Xingyue Lake.
The State of Song even did such a taboo as dispatching troops into Jin, which shows that it was as fearful as snakes and scorpions towards Xingyue Lake.
From Wang Maohong's standpoint, letting the Song army come and go freely within the Jin State, it is difficult for the superiors and subordinates to explain, so it is even worse to directly dispatch the Jin army to become enemies with the Song State.
It is very likely that Wang Maohong will support Jiangzhou behind his back, so that Xingyue Lake and the Song army will be in a consumption battle; the Song State's offensive was setback and it was stopped under the city of Jiangzhou, and Xingyue Lake was greatly reduced, and there would be no major storms in the future.
In this way, the one who should really worry is Jia Shixian. I am afraid he will still have to beg Wang Maohong to avoid the Song army and Jiangzhou fighting hard, and the Jin army suddenly appeared behind him.
Zhang Shiyi's eyebrows were flying and his teeth were full of wind. He described the Xiao family's father and son as Pojun Star, which made the civil and military officials of Jin unable to fight back. He watched them occupy Jiang and Ningzhou.
Then the conversation changed and said that Grand Master Jia was not a good person, and he had long coveted Jiangzhou. Prime Minister Wang, a good man, brought the wolf into the house, was afraid that he would suffer a great loss.
It is precisely so that Mr. Xiao and his son occupied Jiangzhou and raised a big banner.After thinking about it, Grand Master Jia had to seal Yunshui.
Zhang Shiyi said as he folded the folding fan. Everyone, that’s all for today, I’ll say goodbye!
You Zhang Shiyi!Why do you say halfway through?After talking for a long time, I didn’t say why Master Jia wanted Feng Yunshui. Will we come and listen to your noise tomorrow?
Zhang Shiyi said in embarrassment: I'm going to hide it from you. In order to inquire about these things, I have worn out my mouth and ran away in the past few days. I also have to invite people who are in the information to drink and owe a lot of debts.Now I have to go to the venue and say that Duan Shu has paid back the money he owed.You should know why Grand Master Jia sealed Yunshui and who got the treasure. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.
The guest was in high spirits and was willing to let him go, so someone said: You are talking to the story, so it is better to say it!This money has been taken!
Zhang Shiyi bowed and said: Thank you for your reward!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help laughing at the storyteller's tricks, but then he couldn't laugh.Zhang Shiyi got the money and sat down again.This matter is a long story. If it were just Mr. Xiao and his son, Grand Master Jia sent their generals Xia Yeyan and Xia Yonghe to fight.But Mr. Xiao and his son received several more help.The way is the birth of the eight horses, and the world is in chaos.These eight horses are Tieli, Tiansi, Long Ji, Fantasy Joy, Yun Ji, Qing Ji, Zhu Hua, and Xuan Qi!Speaking of the iron horse, it is the head of the eight horses, and it is born with copper heads and iron foreheads, and eats sand and stones!When he heard that Mr. Xiao and his son occupied Jiangzhou, he brought his brothers to join him and offered a great gift, which was the treasure of Persian Zoroastrianism, and helped Mr. Xiao to raise his troops!
Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui went on blind dates. Listening to Zhang Shiyi Fei, he talked about Tieliu snatching the treasure map from the Zoroastrianism, how to kill dragons and tigers to take out the treasures, buy a large number of weapons, and transport them from Yunshui to Jiangzhou.
Grandmaster Jia was holding a beautiful woman in his arms and fighting snail crickets. Hearing this, he was so angry that he threw the can of banners. While ordering to block the clouds and water, he also launched all elite troops to attack Jiangzhou.
Zhang Shiyi's words were in full of Romance tone. Not 10% of them were true, but the information revealed was not simple.
Especially the key points of Meng Feiqing, Treasure and Zoroastrianism.
Yu Ziyuan said that Pengyi Society was not profitable, but Meng Feiqing used a large amount of money to buy food and weapons, which he already felt strange.
Corresponding to the legend of the storyteller, is it because of the treasure that Yue Shuai and Zoroastrianism have become enemies?
The treasure finally fell into Meng Feiqing's hands, and it was taken out to support Xingyue Lake's comeback?
The rewards kept throwing in, and Zhang Shiyi made a fortune; after saying this, he said goodbye with his fists and left.Qin Hui smiled calmly: This guy is so eloquent, and he is not confused at all in a long article.This is not a place to talk about, Cheng Zongyang took a sip of tea to suppress his doubts.The reputation of the market is really interesting. Speaking of Prime Minister Wang, he is a good person, and it makes people worry about him if you hear it.Speaking of Tai Shi Jia, he just wants to find beauty to fight crickets.When Zhang Shiyi talked about Grand Master Jia, I saw a scholar cursing. Since Grand Master Jia values literature and suppresses military affairs, why is it not very famous among the literati?
Qin Hui said: This matter starts with Fang Tianjun Tax Law.The Song Dynasty was the poorest in the Six Dynasties.Jia Shixian implemented the square-field tax law, measured the land in the Song Dynasty, divided it into five levels, and determined the tax amount one by one.Those that are insufficient to meet the standards can be exempted from tax.
This is a good thing.Everyone will make clear the land and pay taxes according to the grade, and no one will suffer any losses.
Qin Hui smiled slightly. For some people, not taking advantage is a loss.Speaking of the poverty and weakness of Song State, Song State is actually not poor at all, but the government cannot collect the money.Local tyrants occupy a large amount of fertile land, but their taxes are extremely low.The small peasant barely makes money, but the tax paid accounts for half of the taxes.As this continues, the poorer the poorer the richer the richer.
Jia Shixian re-measures the land and touches on the interests of powerful people. Most of the literati were from wealthy families, so of course they would scold Jia Shixian.
Qin Hui had a taste of tea.If this Fangtianjun tax law cannot be implemented, it will be abolished. Once it is forcibly implemented, not only will the Grand Master Jia be ruined, but the State of Song is also at risk of the fall of the country.
Someone suddenly said next to him: How do you say this?
Cheng Zongyang turned his head and looked at it. There were two men sitting in the tea seat behind him. One of them was over 50 years old. His hair was dyed like ink, his eyes were bright and his energy was vigorous.
The other one is elegant and gentle. Both of them are wearing casual clothes and black-horned scarves, looking like scholars who came to Qingzhou to study.
Qin Hui smiled and said: Fang Tianjun's tax law was not pioneered by Grand Master Jia. It has been more than a hundred years since Duke Wang Jing proposed this method. Because Duke Jing is very talented and difficult to implement, we can see how difficult this method is.The old man said: It depends on man.
How easy is it to build a clear state on a flat ground?But there is Qingzhou in the world.Jia Taishi has a high position and a powerful position. What's the difficulty of implementing a decree?
Qin Hui said: When the country first started, there were few powerful households and many middle-class people.Once the maintenance is over, the rich will merge the land and become richer. The capital of one household is enough to cover the middle-class tens of thousands of families, while the amount of tax paid is less than 100 households.The extremely poor have no tax to collect, and the powerful do not pay the tax at all. Most of the taxes levied fall into middle-class families.If all middle-class families are destroyed without hundreds of years, the country will be in danger.Master Jia saw the disadvantages of this and implemented the Fangtianjun tax law as the original intention of suppressing the powerful and helping the poor, but there were three losses.
The old man said coldly: I would like to hear the details.
Qin Hui raised a finger, and one of them said to underestimate the enemy.Taishi Jia was a tough man and regarded the powerful as nothing. Not only did he remeasure the land, but he also limited the land to purchase it at an affordable price by the government and divided it with the poor households.But the reason why the powerful are powerful is because of their strong wealth.If Fang Tianjun tax law takes over his land, he will inevitably turn against him. How can Taishi Jia fight against a powerful country with his own strength?
One by one is impetuousness.You may as well be happy and you must be careful in governing the country.The Tao Te Ching says: Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food.The tax law of square fields covers the entire land, and even in fifty years, it may not be able to be cleared. You can only slowly draw it.
However, Grand Master Jia hurriedly implemented the law, and officials at all levels committed fraud in order to complete the law, which aroused hatred of the powerful, fearing that the government would be terminated without waiting for the death of others.
Qin Hui raised his first fingers one by one, one by one, because Grandmaster Jia was more tough in his governance and was not smooth enough, and he always had headaches and pain in his feet, but failed to plan far-reachingly.If I was not mistaken, Grand Master Jia urgently implemented the Fangtianjun tax law, because the Song Dynasty was in trouble.
The light in the old man's pupils flashed: It is well known that the taxes in the State of Song are not enough, and it is not surprising.
Qin Hui smiled and said... The State of Song tolerated Qingzhou because it was because it borrowed a lot of money from the big merchants in Qingzhou?Now that Grandmaster Jia has launched another army to attack Jiangzhou, I wonder where the money comes from?
The old man laughed. Although the Song State is poor and weak, he may not be able to fight even a single battle.
Qin Hui said: If Grand Master Jia wants to implement the Fangtianjun tax law, he should not fight.If you want to fight, you can only suspend this method.If both are together, the army fights outside and the powerful are in chaos inside, the loss of grain output in the Song Dynasty this year is considered to be small.In addition, the military spending has increased significantly, and it will be overwhelmed in a few months.
The old man raised his head slightly. In your opinion, how should the political affairs of the State of Song be implemented?
The worst strategy is to seek stability.The army was closed and the tax law was discontinued.
What about Zhongce?
Xu Yi Xiang's honor.Insufficient revenue, impediment.
Receive officials with money?
The old man laughed: The way to destroy the country!
No.
Qin Hui smiled and said: "Tian is worthy of title."In the past, most of the donations were the monarchs who were eager to get money and were eager to get money, so they sold them at the price of the imperial court.A third-rank official position only costs one million yuan, and it will be useless if you use it casually. However, the court will get a trauma, which will cause great harm.This method does not take money or sell official positions.A thousand soft one viscount is obtained, and a thousand acres are obtained. The country benefits and the wealthy are named. Isn’t it easier to forcefully purchase land?
The old man was silent for a long time: What is the best strategy?
Qin Hui smiled but refused to answer.
The scholar next to him sighed slightly and said: Master, it’s getting late, I’m afraid that a visitor will come later.The old man suddenly said: "Your honor, your surname?"
My surname is Qin and his name is Hui, and his name is Huizhi.
The old man murmured: Qin Huizhi... is he a scholar studying in Qingzhou?
Qin Hui smiled and said: I'm with you.
merchant?
The old man raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but show a hint of contempt, but hesitated after thinking of Qin Hui's words, do you intend to become an official?
As a companion in the lower body, we naturally have to follow the head of the family.
oh?
This is in the next head of the family, Mr. Cheng.
Cheng Zongyang clasped his fists and said: I have met my father-in-law.
The old man looked at Cheng Zongyang for a few glances. He was young and could control such a talented man.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: This is Brother Qin giving me face.
The old man's attention was on Qin Hui. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look at him with a bright look. What a companion to give the head of the family face. No wonder this kind of person is willing to serve you.
The old man stood up and said to Qin Hui... If you change your mind one day, come to Lin'an to find me.
He turned around and said, "Qianyu."
The scribe bowed and said, "I am Liao Qunyu."If Mr. Cheng and Mr. Qin come here, just look for Mr. Liao, the Yueshengtang in Lin'an.
Undefeated.
The old man patted Qin Hui on the shoulder and wanted to say something. After thinking for a while, he finally turned into a long sigh.If I do business, I'm afraid I'm not better than you.After saying that, the old man shook his head and turned around and left.Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Come up and have a sip of tea. First, I listened to a legend of gods and ghosts, and then listened to your great principles of governing the country. This sip of tea is quite good.
Qin Hui raised his eyebrows.Liao Qunyu... Yueshengtang... Could it be that Lin'an who is famous for engraving and collecting books?Why did he come to Qingzhou?
