Liu Xin's arrangement was also out of the need for confidentiality. Research and development and production of military items. Liu Xin is not too worried. Because Xiwu city itself is a military restricted zone. Not to mention aliens with many different looks. Even the Han people have no special permits. It is also impossible to enter the fifty-mile area around Xiwu. What Liu Xin is really worried about is the confidentiality of civilian goods.
A large number of advanced weapons can quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the army. And some technologically advanced civilian goods. Not only can the efficiency of production be improved. You can also earn a lot of real money from abroad. The two are combined. It reflects the comprehensive strength of a country. Only the overall strength is strong. The country can truly become a powerful country. otherwise. No matter how strong the military might be. There is no certain economic foundation to support it. That can only be relentless.
There will certainly be some people of insight among foreigners. After these people came to Dahan. If you see the silk, porcelain, paper, and tea of the Han Dynasty. It is inevitable that the idea of stealing these technologies will arise. If foreigners also master these technologies. Even carry forward on this basis. Then the products of the Han people will lose the opportunity to monopolize the market. It was not only a blow to the economy of the Han Dynasty. It will also have a big impact on the lives of the Han people.
In order to prevent foreigners from stealing the cutting-edge technology of the Han people. Liu Xin used a lot of brains. One of the most important. It means that foreigners are not allowed to appear in places where commodities such as silk, porcelain, paper, and tea are produced. right now. Liu Xin has set up a big market in Maoling. Foreign caravans are allowed to trade here. And Maoling was also after the foreign caravan entered Dahan. The farthest you can go. It is for this consideration.
Ten days have passed. The second batch of teams moved to Chang'an set off. This team is composed of military commanders and their families. The size of the team is much smaller than the first one. Simultaneously. The city of Xiangyang began to get busy. The third team is already packing up.
The third team that moved to Chang'an was much larger. This includes the cabinet, six departments, and Xiangyang Academy. In other words. Except for Liu Xin and Jushou. The vast majority of civilian officials, military commanders and their families will move to Chang'an in this batch.
in fact. The things in the State Shepherd's Mansion have also been packed up a long time ago. Several specially made carriages were completely renewed by Liu Xin. But Liu Xin did not move to Chang'an with the others. The Jushou family stayed with him in Xiangyang.
At this time. Everyone knows it well. The day Liu Xin arrived in Chang'an. It was when he became the emperor. In this matter. Liu Xin has kept a low profile. He never let go of what he declared in the past to "wait for the reunification of the Han Dynasty before establishing another Mingjun". but. These civil servants and generals under his hands have already acted. Various persuasive activities have been quietly launched. Liu Xin already knew these things. But he neither agreed. There is no stopping. In fact, it shows a tacit attitude.
these years. With the occupation of the place continues to expand. Liu Xin has felt more and more. There is no emperor. The control of these places is much more laborious. and so. This time he did not move to Chang'an with Tian Feng, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu. To do that for them. Allow plenty of preparation time.
Just when Liu Xin was waiting leisurely for news from Chang'an. Huang Chengyan suddenly came to see him. He folded his hands and said, "Master Liu. Huang wants to go. I still think it's better to let A Chou go to Chang'an Academy to continue his studies. I hope that the adults will show you the way."
After Cai Yue returned home from the prefecture and pastoral residence last time. He also told him about the move of Xiangyang Academy to Chang'an. It's just that Huang Chengyan heard that Xiangyang Academy would still be retained. Only some of them will be moved to Chang'an. Huang Chengyan didn't really want Huang Yueying to go to Chang'an to study. however. until today. I heard that Xiangyang Academy has begun to relocate. Some senior and outstanding teachers in the academy have moved to Chang'an. more importantly. A large number of books in the academy also moved away at the same time.
Thus. Xiangyang Academy and Chang'an Academy were immediately out of the same level. Huang Chengyan is just this baby girl. I have high hopes for her since childhood. Naturally want her to go to the best college to study. So Huang Chengyan became anxious. Only then came to see Liu Xin. I hope Liu Xin can fulfill the business promised to him last time.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. In the eyes of those big names. Merchant is the most humble occupation. These celebrities are not only unwilling to engage in this business themselves. Don't even let his family members or even domestic slaves engage in this business. After all. Huang Chengyan is also a conservative Confucian student. He is also unwilling to engage in business. He didn't even want the entire Huang family to engage in business. but. Relying on the income from those acres of land. Want to buy a piece of land to build a house in Chang'an City. It's just idiotic dreams.
For the daughter. For the future of the entire Huang family. Huang Chengyan had better make this decision difficult. Take the path of business to revitalize the Huang family. So he begged Liu Xin for help. For Huang Chengyan's decision. The other children of the Huang family agreed. Live in the colorful world of Xiangyang. Who doesn't know the benefits of having money.
but. In recent years, because Liu Xin attaches great importance to business. The Department of Commerce was also established in the Ministry of Households. This led to the rapid development of commerce in Liu Xin's jurisdiction. Especially after restarting the Silk Road. Caravans have sprung up everywhere. When Huang Zu was the head of the Huang family. Disdain to do business. Now we have to organize a caravan. Nature is at a loss. Neither source of supply. There is no talent. Had to beg to Liu Xin's door.
Learned that Huang Chengyan wanted to organize a caravan from the Huang family. Liu Xin couldn't help but smiled and said, "Mr. rest assured. This matter. Liu will definitely support it. But trade is about fair competition. Liu can't give you too much concessions. He can only promise to allocate three hundred catties to your Huang family every year. Tea. The rest is up to your Huang family."
Tea is still an official commodity. If you have money on the market, you can't buy it. Even the tea that Huang Chengyan drank at home was given to them by Cai Jue. Liu Xin immediately transferred three hundred jin of tea to the Huang family. This support can be said to have spared no effort. These three hundred catties of tea leaves. The Huang family didn't even need to organize caravans. You can make a fortune in Xiangyang.
Huang Chengyan originally only expected Liu Xin to sell some white porcelain to the Huang family at a discount. That's already pretty good. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin would only sell three hundred catties of tea. Could not help being overjoyed. Even claimed to be thankful. He folded his hands and said: "Huang has two more things to ask for. I also hope that the adults can agree."
Liu Xin was not angry at Huang Chengyan's success. Because he knew that Huang Chengyan was a face-saving person. If it is not a last resort. Even the Huang's caravan organization would not ask for himself. Since he spoke. That's what matters. Liu Xin nodded. Said: "Sir, please speak. As long as Liu can do it. Never refuse."
Huang Chengyan said embarrassedly: "In fact, Mrs. Liu had kindly reminded Huang more than a month ago. It’s just that Huang was hesitant. I missed the opportunity. Now even if I have plenty of money. I want to buy a piece of land in Chang'an City to build a house too late. The academy moved during this period. The classes were temporarily stopped. But Huang couldn’t stop for a few days if he wanted to come. You can’t delay Yueying’s studies because of this. So. Huang courageously. I would like to ask the adults for permission. Let Yueying temporarily Stay for a while in the adult’s house."
The Huang family also has no house in Xiangyang. But anyhow there are two relatives. Huang Yueying studied at either the Zhoumufu or the Taishoufu. This time the academy moved to Chang'an. Cai Tao is still the prefect of Xiangyang. It is not a relocation. So the Huang family has only one relative left in the city of Chang'an.
but. One thing Huang Chengyan didn't know. After Liu Xin arrived in Chang'an City. The Liu family is going to live in the palace. It would be inappropriate for Huang Yueying to want to live in Liu's house anymore. Huang Chengyan didn't know what Liu Xin was going to enthrone and proclaim his emperor. It's not because he usually doesn't pay attention. in contrast. Huang Chengyan is very sensitive to this matter. but. Since Liu Xin defeated Dong Zhuo. Whether it is officials or people. The voice calling for Liu Xin to become emperor has never stopped. Even Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Liu Bei were the guys who stood on the opposite side of Liu Xin. It has been seen that Liu Xin is what the people want. And aimed at Liu Xin's next generation.
It is precisely because Huang Chengyan's head is full of hearing that Liu Xin should be called Emperor Yunyun. So this time. It was Liu Xin's turn to become the emperor. On the contrary, he has no special feelings. What's more, this incident was carried out in secret by a group of Liu Xin's relatives, civil and military officials. How do outsiders know.
I heard that what Huang Chengyan asked for turned out to be this. Liu Xin couldn't help laughing. Said: "Mr. Don't worry. The house in Chang'an City has been prepared for you. From Liu's point of view. Your husband's family might as well move to Chang'an."
Chang'an is the capital of the future. The land and real estate prices there are not too high now. But one day it will become the place where every inch of land is worth. From the perspective of Liu Xin and Ma Yun from later generations. How could I not see this. and so. When wealthy businessmen everywhere entered Chang'an City to buy land and build houses. Ma Yun also sent people to buy a lot of land in Chang'an. A number of houses and shops have been built.
These land, houses, and shops should have been like Xiangyang. All in the hands of the court. Naturally, this money can only be made by the court. Unfortunately, it is catching up with the emptiness of the treasury. The imperial court could not spend so much money to build Chang'an City. These lands can only be packaged and sold to wealthy businessmen and gentry everywhere.
Not a big money bank. The women in the State Shepherd House also ran some shops themselves. There is a lot of "private money" on hand. It has long been discussed to buy some properties in Chang'an City. So I took advantage of this east wind. Bought a lot of land. Many houses have been built. In fact, Liu Xin has no part in these places and houses. But Cai Jue has a share. She heard that Liu Xin advised Cai Yue to prepare early. So he proposed to allocate a place from his share to the Huang family.
Huang Chengyan said embarrassedly: "Then Xiaomin thanked the adults very much. When Xiaomin has money. After he bought the house, he would return it to the adult."
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said: "This is not in a hurry. What is the second thing you want to say."
