Chapter 150: The most bold in the world, the Grand Master of Jin! Cotton.

"This is the master." The head of the Shangjing branch council saw that the visitor was about 60 years old, with a handsome face and a grand manner. He was really not sure what an official was. But he was definitely from the southerners. Although the Jurchen nobles in the Shangjing also liked to invite famous Han teachers and scholars to educate their children, those who are familiar with Han Chinese classics are all young people. At such a big age as the visitor, they would not be Jurchen barbarians. Although they had never experienced it, they were so kind that they were just looking at the Southern Dynasty. However, after the instructor asked, they saw that the other party had a pride on his face, not like a very kind person.

"Are you the head of the lord here? What's your name?" The high-ranking official naturally had the style of a high-ranking official. He never answered the question, but he looked around first before he asked majestic. The head of the lord heard it, and there was a sense of going to the yamen to interrogate him, but he was intimidated by the other party's authority and dared not not answer.

"The villain Luo Zhuzi is the head of the Jincheng Business Company in Shangjing. I don't know what the adults have to give. Anything that can be done by a small account will be fine. If there is business, you need to help."

As soon as he said this, the servant opposite coughed and waved his hand to let Luo Zhuzi shut up. Old Luo usually relied on being Luo Yan's cousin and said the same thing in the semicolon. At present, he really couldn't see through the other party's whereabouts, so he had to silently unhappy, but he didn't dare to do it.

"I heard that Jincheng's merchants are very well-known, and they are strong. I wonder if I can sell some swords and guns to me to use for long weapons on the horse's back! Can the person in charge be the master?" The official was kind and calm when he spoke, but he didn't look at Luo Zhuzi at all. He just slowly turned a huge jade ring on his thumb, and the green light appeared in his eyes. Luo Zhuzi's heart trembled and hurriedly replied: "This master is laughing at. Jincheng merchants do all kinds of business, but they dare not touch this thing. If they violate the law of the Great Jin, they don't know how to write the word "death". Shangjing is at the foot of the emperor. Wouldn't this master be fooled by our family?"

The official was not angry. He leaned his hand against the edge of the pit to warm it up. He took a pot of wine and drank it all over. Then he slowly said, "I think you can't make a decision either. I have a letter here, and you will hand it over to Yang Zaixing. See if he dares to do it, I will ask someone to contact you. After spring, you will need to pay in March, but three hundred pieces are indispensable. This person is named Yu Liu. If you have something to do in the future, you will come to you. If Yang Zaixing has a reply, you don't have to look for me. Yu Liu will find you, Master Luo. Are you sure you will be able to reply?"

Luo Zhuzi took the letter and saw that there was no word on the cover. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Reply to the uncle. If you ask Mr. Yang for a message, it will be two months or three months later. There will be a reply. However, it is cold and there is no exchange of goods. I am afraid that it will be slower. However, if the master still talks about this matter in his book, I am afraid that Mr. Yang may not dare to do it!"

The official gradually pursed his lips, then laughed loudly: "Don't dare? Not necessarily dare? Hahaha! Is there anything that Yang Zaixing dare not? He said he would occupy it when he said he would. He said he would fight. Bo Jin from Luzhou Prefecture would kill him. He said he would kill him. The people in Shangjing pretended to be deaf and blind. Who dared to provoke him? Is there anything that he dared not? Don't worry, if Yang Zaixing dared not. I will be the most courageous in the world! Hahahaha!"

While speaking, the "Yu Liu" behind him, Luo Zhuzi, and the brothers hidden in the back hull were sweating together: every word of this was enough to lose a lot of heads!

After the visitor left, everyone in the semicolon looked at each other, not knowing what the identity of the visitor was. They just threw two large silver ingots from the pit, all of which were fifty taels and one ingot. They were actually the peacekeeping silver handed over by the Song Dynasty. They had not been melted by the Shangjing. They were all of them with high positions and power in the Shangjing city. Although everyone had limited vision, they still had this knowledge. They carefully melted the silver ingots and sent three capable men to seal the letters and carry the banner of the semicolon, and quickly went into the pass while the snow was clear the next day.

At this time, the climate in Jincheng was much warmer. Although it had already snowed a few times in early winter, it did not accumulate. The streets and alleys were still crowded. However, the mountains on Taihang were all white and could not be transformed for a while. The government offices were burnt with pits, which were made of coal, which was much better than the wood carbon in the north, so there was no need to add firewood at any time. Yang Zaixing was in the mansion and laughed at Zhiyuan and was tired of playing. He asked Qiuxiang to take his children to read, but he warmed two pots of wine at home and called Hong Hao to drink.

"Mr. Yang, the matter in the mansion is troubled. I am not allowed to be free for a while. I came a little late. I have been waiting for a long time. Hong was guilty!" Hong Hao bowed his hand when he entered the door. Although he was currently honored in Jinzhou City, it is well known that the rash man in front of him is the lord of Jincheng. Although Hong Hao is very loyal, he is not not ignorant of world affairs. Otherwise, how could he be able to enjoy the kings in Shangjing!

Yang Zaixing shouted, "Mr. Zhang got drunk before drinking! He must be fined: Where did Mr. Hong come here? Could it be that Mr. Zhang mistakenly recognized someone?"

Hong Hao was stunned and realized, and added his forehead with his hands, "I am so confused, thank you for your advice. I should punish you for drinking, and I should punish you!"

At that moment, the two laughed loudly. Hong Hao had been in Jincheng, everything went smoothly and he was very happy. At this time, he had already realized that Yang Zaixing was not a part of the peace and stability. He would have a great career in the future. Although he was just governing a state capital, the affairs involved were far away from thousands of miles away. How could the gang of corrupt scholars in Lin'an City imagine? Therefore, Hong Hao never regarded himself as a teacher, but was willing to be a subordinate. He even appeared as a prefect in the mansion, and everyone was convinced: This old master is really a material for official positions!

"Why do you have any instructions when you see the summons? I will listen carefully!" After drinking for three rounds, Hong Hao asked.

"Haha! Since Mr. returned to Jincheng, he has worked hard and made a family much better, but he rarely invited him to drink. Isn't it a way to treat guests? Come on, this dish is a craft of soft and blessed craftsmanship, and Mr. Wang must taste it!" Yang Zaixing raised his chopsticks and cloth dishes, and Hong Hao was flattered. In Jincheng, the guests and the host and the king and ministers were far superior to Lin'an's suspicion. Hong Hao secretly thanked that he had not made the wrong choice.

"The past two months have been the happiest day since Hong's life!" Hong Hao raised his glass and sighed: "I went to the capital and lived like a year. I often say that I would not return to Jiangnan in this life. I really returned to Jiangnan, but I was murderous everywhere. Instead, I was not as stable as going to Beijing, and the misfortune was unpredictable. This is often the case. In this Jincheng, the body is happy, that is, the heart is peaceful, and there is no worries, and I share the worries of Lord Yang. What is the joy? The adults don't need to thank me, but I want to thank me!"

Yang Zaixing laughed: "Sir, since that's the case, Yang might as well be troubled by his husband. Now his son Zhiyuan is less than three years old, but he has recognized dozens of words, which is much better than when he was young. If he gets a favor after the beginning of the New Year, he would ask his husband to accept this son as a bow to avoid Yang's fault."

Hong Hao smiled and said, "The boss wants to hire a western seat. How can I not obey it? I am afraid that the adults will not let the young master suffer in my hands. But don't blame me!"

The two laughed and then raised their glasses to drink together. Yang Zaixing said, "I really have another thing to ask you to come today. I don't know what kind of tricks you have."

Hong Hao said: "Sir, let me tell you. I will give you some details."

Yang Zaixing said: "Jincheng merchants are all over the world, and the profits of the exchanges are quite high, but there is almost no item produced by Jincheng. Except for the fine iron required by the Yangtze River and the imperial court, it can produce 700,000 pieces every year, and there is nothing else to trade. Someone is determined to make more goods, but he doesn't know where to start. Can you teach me?"

Hong Hao was stunned when he heard this and said in surprise: "I used to be famous for my magic guns. Now I am rich compared to Tao Zhu, how could I ask me about this? If I talk about classics, history and classics, I know a little about one or two. If I talk about the way of business, I am afraid that today, I will rank second, and no one will rank first, right?"

Yang Zaixing smiled and said, "Mr. I'm wrong. A certain family is asking for advice from Mr.: Which of the taxes in the Song Dynasty are the heaviest and most?"

Hong Hao pondered, "I know a little bit about this. The court has always been the strictest in governing it. But copper, iron, salt, tea, silk, and wine. If it comes to taxes, salt and wine are the most important, is it the lord?"

Yang Zaixing smiled and said, "In addition to these two, silk is the most common, but Jincheng has less land and cannot develop sericulture. The salt is mainly produced in Jiezhou. There are sea salt in the north and south, and there is no benefit. But this is the rest."

The two raised their eyes and watched the wine in the glass at the same time.

"My lord, do you want to make wine? What's the benefit? The remaining grain in Jincheng is only ten thousand stones a year. Even after this winter, the wheat is ripe, and it is only twenty thousand stones a year. How much wine can you make? And it can make wine from both north and south, so why buy Jincheng wine?" Hong Hao asked in confusion.

"No need to be too much, ten thousand stones are enough!" Yang Zaixing said resolutely: "A certain family knows the method of brewing wine, which is very different from the ones stated in "Qimin Yaoshu". If you get the method of brewing, you can get 300,000 kilograms of fine wine from ten thousand stones of grain. And there is nowhere to compare with fine wine from Jincheng in Jiangnan and Hebei!"

Hong Hao was skeptical, but he was secretly arranged for the spring brewing. Before the Chinese New Year, two fresh guests came to Jincheng, but Luo Yan was welcomed into the Zezhou Prefecture Office. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Brother, see who is here!"

Yang Zaixing was stunned and laughed loudly: "Okay! OK! OK! Go and call Gao Lin and Wang Lan!"

When Gao Lin and Wang Lan arrived, they saw the two of them lifting their burqa, their eyes turned red, and they went up and laughed: "Brother Yao, Brother Li, our brothers will eventually be together in Jincheng. God is really waiting for me!"

Yao You smiled and said, "I am in Shaoxing Prefecture and have long been intent on going north. But my family has not made any arrangements properly. It is too late. Brother, please don't be punished!"

Yang Zaixing laughed and said, "Brothers, where are you talking? Gao Lin, who was raising wine, was scrambling with the two brothers! In addition, I also invited the second son to come here. I had seen the second son in Ezhou back then."

When they moved a little, Yue Lei also came to the mansion. Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate. They all knew that it was not easy to come. During the meal, Li De and Yao You cried unconsciously and gritted their teeth at the thieves such as Qin Hui. Yue Lei was comforted by many of them. It was said that Jincheng is now just following Yue Xiang's will and was about to attack Huanglong. Only then can the thieves in the capital be promoted to the heroic spirit of Yue Xiang.

Then the crowd calmed down and the banquet reopened, but Luo Yan played with Li De: "I heard that Li De was in Pingjiang Mansion, and his house was dozens of acres, and his family had a fortune of tens of acres. Is there such a thing?" Everyone laughed, which made Li De quite embarrassed. Yang Zaixing explained, "What's wrong with this? Tao Zhu is just a man, so where can't he be able to do it? If it weren't for the silk from the Li De brothers, Jincheng would not be able to make a lot of money. I just thought that my brother's opinion was that the wealth of a lot of money was all a matter of detail, but spinning should be bigger. If Li De had any difficulties, he might as well tell Luo Yan that the Jiangnan semicolon would be in his hands."

After the meal was over, Yang Zaixing left Yao You and Li De to drink tea. In his early years, Li De wanted to go home early because his home was in Lin'an Mansion. Therefore, he had not yet entered Taihang. Although he was already a "successful person" in Jiangnan, he was far less than his brothers. In addition to his wealth, his power was much inferior, so he was extremely jealous. He heard that Yang Zaixing wanted to make him expand the silk workshop, so why would he not be moved? When he entered the study room of the inner palace, he saw Yang Zaixing produce a thin silk, which was densely packed with small calligraphy. When he took it over, he turned out to be a "factory plan" that was extremely detailed! Not only did he draw the factory pattern, it was as thin as the loom, but he even explained the management of employees, wage payment, labor security, work-related injury medical care, etc. clearly, and the scale designed reached thousands of workers!

When Li De saw it, he was amazed and didn't even bother to drink tea. He looked at the silk carefully in front of the window, and his heart was pounding: If it were at this scale, then Li would not be the first silk household in Pingjiang, but would be rich in Pingjiang and Shaoxing!

Yang Zaixing carefully observed Li De's expression and knew that this person had already understood that small family workshop-style production could no longer adapt to the development of large-scale trade. Only by expanding the scale of production can a new wealth accumulation model be established. The emergence of capitalism in the Song Dynasty had already met the required conditions, provided that Jiangnan could be more stable for a long time, without being dragged down by the Song-Jin War, nor was it interrupted by the Yuanmeng invasion. This prerequisite, the heavy responsibility fell on the Jincheng Army, and Yang Zaixing knew this.

Yao You have accomplished nothing in recent years. After settling down, he was displaced in Jianzhou and Xinzhou. He occasionally sold some family members and Jianzhou sub-colons, but it was difficult to support his family. Seeing that Li De and others had made money, they were just envious and had no intention of enterprising. Among the brothers, Yao You seemed a little clumsy, not as generous as Gao Lin and others, nor as smart as Li De. The two brothers rushed to Jincheng all the way, and Li De had already let it go: After returning to Jiangnan, he asked Yao You to be the chief in the yard to earn some money to support his family, but Yao You was a little embarrassed and did not agree.

When Yang Zaixing saw Yao You sitting there, the boss was bored, and knew that Yao You had always been a person. He raised his teacup and said, "What kind of life do Brother Yao do? Do you want to come to Jincheng?"

Yao You's heart was thrilled: "Brother told me that all the family would obey, but my brother was a little clumsy, afraid of losing a big deal."

Yang Zaixing smiled and said, "This is okay. Brother Yao is very competent: I want to invite Brother Yao to Yazhou, Dali, Xiliao and other places to find a batch of cotton seeds. There are white stacks of cloth on the market in Lin'an, which is made of cotton textiles. Brother Yao is willing? The An family's silver is paid by brother Wei, and first go to Luo Yan's place to get a hundred taels of taels of home, and then get the travel fee from the Jiangnan semicolon. There is no need to restrict the expenses, but a large number of spinners and cotton seeds are required."

Yao You naturally agreed, but Li De's eyes lit up: "What the eldest brother is talking about Yazhou Kapok?"

Yang Zaixing laughed when he saw Li De's green eyes.
