Chapter 69 Openness and honesty
Chapter 69: Open and honest
Chen Ying took the initiative to come to Hou Mo Chen's mansion for the first time, which made Yu Qing excited for a while. The most important thing about Hou Mo Chen's family is that they are small and have little population. Hou Mo Chen Qianwen is nearly 70 years old and no longer has the ability to have another son. Even Hou Mo Chen Qian's Society thought that Hou Mo Chen would cut off the incense at his hands, but Chen Ying appeared.
However, Chen Ying was unwilling to accept the family business of Hou Mo Chen, which made Hou Mo Chen Qian very angry. Although Hou Mo Chen's family was not as good as before, the lean camel was larger than the horse. Although Hou Mo Chen was defeated by Yang Guang during the time of Hou Mo Chenrui and Hou Mo Chenying, Yang Guang did not confiscate Hou Mo Chen's family's family property was reduced, but it did not reduce significantly.
Nowadays, there is no more money in Hou Mochen’s house, and there is still 100,000 guan and 80,000 guan. If the land for stores and real estate is included, a few are more than 300,000 guan.
Such a large family business cannot be accumulated by a generation. This was the operation of the three generations of Houmo Chen family for sixty or seventy years, and it has its current scale.
When Chen Ying appeared in front of Hou Mo Chen Qian's meeting, Hou Mo Chen Qian would practice boxing in the yard. Seeing Chen Ying coming, Hou Mo Chen Qian would say coldly: "What are you here to do?"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "The four-wheeled carriage I produce in the village outside the city is good and is a must-have product for home travel."
How could Hou Mo and Chen Qian not know that the four-wheeled carriage that Chen Ying made has become popular in Chang'an. Now there are many nobles in the court. If there is no four-wheeled carriage, they will be embarrassed to go far.
However, Chen Ying was determined to let Chen Ji four-wheeled carriage take the high-end route, so he strictly implemented the high-quality route of slow work and fine work. In fact, the technology of the four-wheeled carriage is not complicated. The only difficult ones are core components such as spring steel, bridge shock absorption and rolling bearings.
There are actually copycat versions of four-wheeled carriages on the market in Chang'an. However, because the craftsmen of this era understood the reasons for bridge shock absorption, although they did not have spring steel, they woven the base of the carriage with extremely tough bamboo and rattan. Although the shock absorption effect is far less than that of the wheeled carriage produced by Chen Ji, they are more popular among the middle and lower landlords. Such a carriage is not expensive, and is only one-tenth of the carriage produced by Chen Ying.
If Chen Ying received more than 600,000 orders, it would take two or three months to produce efficiently if capacity restrictions were lifted.
Hou Mo Chen Qian would point to the four-wheeled carriage outside the door, which was almost the same as Xiao Shiwen's size: "This requires a lot of money, right?"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's too sarcastic to talk about money by oneself, it's not a valuable thing."
Hearing this, Yu Qing was overjoyed. Chen Ying was willing to send a carriage worth a thousand yuan, because he wanted to accept the Hou Mo Chen family. Looking at Chen Ying, Yu Qing murmured in a low voice: "This carriage costs tens of thousands of yuan, not expensive!"
Hou Mo Chen Qian had very pointed ears and raised his eyebrows: "Ten Thousands of Points?"
Yu Qing explained in a low voice: "Alang, what about the carriage that Pei Xiangguo bought 12,000 guan? Xiao Xiangguo's carriage also sold 10,000 guan."
It’s not that Hou Mo Chen Qianhui really doesn’t understand it. He has also heard the news that for this carriage, at the current price, selling tens of thousands of yuan is indeed a conscientious price. He said dissatisfiedly: “Spend money randomly, take it back, I don’t want it!”
Chen Ying said in a silence in the carriage, "Cousin, look!"
Hou Mo Chen Qian would look at him in his sight and saw a lifelike wooden sand tray in the carriage. In fact, he had actually seen this sand tray a long time ago. He deliberately frowned and said, "What is this?"
Chen Ying walked up and pointed to the sand table in it and said happily: "Even the money you buy this carriage can't buy a corner of this Chen's fort."
Hou Mo Chen Qian said, "Even if this fort can withstand the attack of more than 10,000 troops for ten months after it is completed, if the emperor is determined to eradicate Hou Mo Chen's family, can this fort be defended?"
Chen Ying shook his head: "I actually never thought about defending this fort!"
Yu Qing looked at Chen Ying in surprise and thought to himself: "What is the significance of not guarding the city to build this fort?"
"The military strategy is full of military tactics, and there is no support in the city. No matter how much food and grass are in the city, no matter how many soldiers and horses are, if you lose your support and besiege by the enemy's army, people's hearts will be disintegrated!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "What I need is actually a time, a time that can be warned by Houmo Chen."
Chen Ying took out another model of a slender stilt ship.
Hou Mo Chen Qianhui glanced at him and exclaimed: "Wheel ship?"
"That's right!" Chen Ying said: "This is a steamer invented by Zu Chongzhi of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The moat of Chenjiabao can connect to the Wei River. It flows down the Wei River and enters the river in one day. The purpose of my construction of this fort is to tell people all over the world that if you want to move this fort, you must use 50,000 troops and pay at least 10,000 casualties to chew this fort. As long as you want to mobilize 50,000 troops, it is impossible not to disturb me, so I can rush into the Yellow River along the waterway..."
Hou Mo Chen Qianhui sighed secretly that Zhao Gui, the founding of Yuwen Tai in the Eight Pillar Kingdom, Yuan Xin assisted Yuwen Tai with the power of the royal family, Li Hu made his name for war, Li Bi was the general of a good army, Yu Jin used his plan to assist in the affairs, Hou Mo Chen Chong used his courage to dominate and dou Gu Xin used his virtue to comfort the people. It was precisely because these people showed their talents under Yuwen Tai that the glory of Yuwen Tai and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was created. Of course, the Guanlong noble military group was also established.
Yuwen Tai was good at comforting the Guanlong Group, and during his lifetime, he was able to unite and be united to the outside world. Although there were conflicts and frictions, the harmonious cooperation between them still dominated. However, after Yuwen Tai's death, conflicts began to occur, including Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin's plan to attack Yuwen's guards, Li Zhi, Sima Sun Heng, Gong Boyi and Fufeng's attempted palace coup, and the rebellion of Wang and Yuwen Zhi of Wei. These events imply that a crisis had occurred within the Guanlong military and political group. The rise of Yang Jian's power directly led to the decline and demise of the Guanlong Group. Yang Jian used Zhou, and the figures in his regime had requested the restrictions of the "Guanzhong standard". Guanlong Group had completely withdrawn from the historical stage after Yang Jian Chanzhou.
Although the eight pillars of the country still have some financial resources, except for the Li Hu family, all other families have lost the foundation of the Guanlong nobles, which is military.
Whether it is Chen Ying of the Tang Dynasty or Yuan’s Yuan treasures, in fact, they only have the title of a general, but they do not really belong to them.
It is better to say that Chen Ying is struggling to make a decision in the future.
Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui didn't know that Chen Ying wanted to use the power of Hou Mo Chen family to defeat the Chai family, and it might even trigger a struggle between the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong nobles. Chen Ying thought about it and thought that without the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty, it was particularly clear that the Tang Dynasty would not cause disaster to the vassal states.
Hou Mo and Chen Qianhui are also mature. He doesn't believe that Chen Ying came to the house this time and gave him a carriage worth tens of thousands of yuan, and also portrayed him a beautiful future. Chen Ying should have other plans.
Hou Hou Chen Qianhui asked, "Wulang, as the saying goes, you won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Don't hide it. Just tell me if you have any plans!"
Chen Ying did not hide it because Chen Ying understood a truth and told a lie that countless lies needed to be fulfilled. The more lies, the bigger the loopholes, and he would only bring shame on himself. It would be better to be honest and open and honest.
Chen Ying said his thoughts. He wanted to fight against Chai Shao in Fenzhou. One was to force Chai to bow to Li Xiuning and return Li Xiuning's essay, and the second was to make money.
Chen Ying established a money shop for the purpose of this. He only received only 200,000 guan from Li Yuan's treasury. After the spring of Wude in the third year, Li Yuan would definitely launch a war against Wang Shichong. By that time, Li Yuan would not give Chen Ying a penny. However, next year is the year of Chen Ying's big move. He wanted to open four money shops in Taiyuan, Chang'an, Lingzhou and Chengdu of the Tang Dynasty. Each money shop would prepare for savings at least 200,000 guan. The four money shops combined were 800,000 guan. Chen Ying was really short of money.
