The three old men agreed, and Zhang Zhong relaxed, and began to discuss investment matters with people who had membership in the ski resort.
After the merchants understood the whole plan, they knew the Zhang family's methods immediately. Some people really didn't want to help the Zhang family, but they had to pay for it. Don't look at the roads now, but the roads are not good and the transportation is arduous.
After Zhang's repairing the road, there are corresponding measures that make people feel tempted. Besides, there are too many rich people in Jiannan Road, and they don't have to pay. Once others have enough money, they will not cooperate with Zhang's in the future. Opportunities, no new technology, no benefits from the goods shipped by the Zhang family from elsewhere, and no way to form a caravan to go out with the Zhang family to do business with Tubo.
One by one, they said that they went back and discussed it carefully, and then left with a copy of the plan. Zhang Zhong had nothing to do for a while. After thinking about it, he called the Mi Fan three who had just arrived.
After Mi Fan and the three came to Yizhou, they were not idle. Those who have never been here are curious about everything, especially Jiumei Leng. They find it interesting to see everything, and they can’t sleep for a long time. Feel, running around, looking at the scenery of the snow-capped mountains, and then at the trees here.
And Xiaobei and the group of little guys also fascinated her. She had to join in and play together. She was not from the Zhang family, and there were fewer restrictions on her.
In addition, when she was on the way, she occasionally heard from Mi Fan and Han Xuanfeng about the various things the Zhang family had done. Curiously, she began to pester the people in the inner courtyard of Wang Zhang's family to ask questions. I have to ask again, I never tire of asking.
Today Zhang Zhong looked for the three of them, and the three of them simply packed up and went to the study where Zhang Zhong was located.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Zhong said to Mi Fan: "Mi Fan, you can go and do what you have arranged this time. Remember, if you find uncomfortable, you can think of a solution as soon as possible. If you can't think of a solution, come back immediately, even if It doesn't matter if the plan fails."
Since being cleaned up by the Zhang family, Mi Fan has been dedicated to doing things for the Zhang family. He admits that the Zhang family’s skills are much stronger than the boat he was in before. Seeing Zhang Zhong’s admonition, he immediately replied: "Master, I I know, I must do things well, get around when there is danger, and find me here because of my special ability."
Zhang Zhong nodded and looked at Han Xuanfeng. Han Xuanfeng's father is now relying on Zhang's family to do good things. The official position is promoted, and he is not as tired as before. Zhang Jiayi should take care of all auxiliary matters. .
Therefore, Han Xuanfeng was also very respectful to Zhang Zhong, stepped forward a little bit, and waited for Zhang Zhong's instructions.
"As for you, your skills are not small. I heard people say that you can speak from several countries, and Tubo speaks well. When you wait to enter Tubo, don't show your feet. From Yizhou to exit. In the past few days, someone will arrange for people from Tubo to speak with you every day, and try to be familiar with the local dialect."
Zhang Zhong also exhorted Han Xuanfeng, and finally turned his attention to Jiu Mei Leng. Jiu Mei Leng was not under the jurisdiction of the Zhang family, but she was also disturbed at this time. One was Zhang Zhong’s attitude at this time. , The other is the power of Zhang Wang's family.
The Deyi Hospital that she yearned most but couldn't enter was opened by Zhang's family. She, who was usually confused, became sensible at this time, and stood up with a smile.
Zhang Zhong also smiled, and said to him: "You are not from the Zhang family and you shouldn't have been allowed to contribute, but this time, it is not only my Zhang Wang family's business, but also the entire Jiannan Dao. Regarding Datang, I could have sent people from the inner courtyard to follow. Since you have a good understanding of calculations, then let you go. If you have done meritorious services, the people of King Zhang's family will remember you, the people of Jiannan Dao. I won't forget you, and let the others in Datang see what it means to be a woman."
Jiumei nodded vigorously and promised: "I usually don't make a sound. I only help when I need something for me. I will definitely not cause trouble to Datang. I want to make a request, that is, wait for me to come back and let me in. Deyi Hospital."
"As long as it is the location of the Zhang Wang family, you can enter wherever you want, but you have to study hard. If you think of other places, the Zhang Wang family will also help."
Zhang Zhong gave Jiu Mei Leng a promise, turned to Mi Fan, and said to him: "Get ready and set off with tortoiseshells and pearls. This time there are only three of you. There is no guarantee. I can still drag one here. Within a month, you must get things done. If you can’t do things, you must withdraw.”
Mi Fan suddenly felt a sense of pride. There was no worries in his heart at this time, and he was no longer uncomfortable. He nodded solemnly, turned and took a stride to leave. Han Xuanfeng and Jiumei Leng also followed, and the three of them will be in one. In the middle of the month, fight alone.
After waiting for the three to leave for a while, Zhang Zhong found two people from the inner courtyard and arranged for them to find a way to infiltrate Tubo too, and protect the three Mi Fans in secret. If they are in danger, send them off first. After leaving, you can reveal your identity and tell the Tubo people that you are a member of the Yizhou Logistics Camp and a servant of the demon evil cuckoo.
In this way, when people from Tubo are planning to kill two people, they must first consider the temperament of the cuckoo. The two countries fought each other and did not cut off the army. If they really killed the two, they would have to bear the cuckoo’s revenge. At that time, it was not a team of less than 10,000 people, and perhaps 100,000 border officers would be recruited into the territory of Tubo to ask Tubo if they dare.
…
Zhang Zhong's arrangements here are almost the same, he is much better off, but other people may not be like this.
Qi Dong’s family has already raised the price of grain collection a lot, but the effect is not very good. Even if everything is five cents more expensive than what Zhang Zhong gave, the simple people are not willing to sell it. They are waiting, waiting for the cuckoo. When he came back, he waited for Zhang Zhong to send someone to pull the grain. This kind of integrity made Qi Dongjia very helpless.
In a country, the people's aspirations are what makes people most scared, especially here there are generals like cuckoos who let the Tubo blood flow for the people, and the two sides support each other. Then don't expect to move the people here.
He can only transfer the pressure to other businessmen with whom he is cooperating, and let the businessmen find a way.
The merchants who cooperated with Yu Qidong’s family didn’t want to work hard, but they had no other way of thinking. The people just didn’t sell grain, and those with Zhuangzi didn’t sell much, but they kept them all. The people waited for Zhang Zhong, and there were Zhuangzi People are afraid to sell, they are afraid to arouse public anger.
In desperation, Qi Dong's family wrote to the person in charge of the operation. The letter came back immediately. Qi Dong's family saw the letter and felt calm and found the merchants again.
"Now change the plan. Because other places use money, we can't spend too much money to collect grain here." After Qi Dongjia found the merchants, he didn't go around the corners, and said directly.
"Qi Dongjia, do you mean that we don't need to collect grain? Then give all the money that should be paid for the grain collected before, or we won't be able to turn around." A businessman immediately asked worriedly. They are now putting money into it.
Now Zhang Zhong is looking for businessmen to build roads to make money, but they can't afford to follow along, and can only see others take advantage.
Other businessmen also had ideas. They looked at Qi Dong's house one by one. As long as Qi Dong's family refused to accept it, they would benefit.
Qi Dongjia didn't expect the merchants here to stand on his side with all his heart, otherwise, how could they cooperate with them when they knew how much the increase in food prices would affect the people
It was all money involved. Looking at the businessmen left and right, Qi Dongjia spoke.
"Who said not to collect? Reap, but it can’t be collected as much as it is now. It is clearly stated that the grain will be harvested, but when it is really harvested, it depends on the grain. The new grain is fully collected, and the old grain is delayed and told. Wait for half a month before giving the money and write a note.
The price should continue to rise, millet, one bucket mentions forty-five articles, rice mentions 65 articles, some people send food, and the small quantity will be directly collected. If the quantity is large, it will be checked carefully. Fortunately, check for a few more days. Now some people have no food in their homes, right
Let me see if Zhang Zhong still doesn't spend money to collect food, what do people eat without farming? You are supposed to do it as I say, and when things are done, the benefits of waiting for you are indispensable. "
When Qi Dongjia said these words, what he thought was the commander behind him. They were powerful. They were really too powerful. Since they couldn’t receive food, they would mess up the "economy" of Jiannan’s arrival. Want to eat food? With this price blocked, people who have food elsewhere would not lower the price and sell it.
All the businessmen understand, they are not stupid, they know the consequences of doing so, if at the beginning, Qi Dongjia just said today’s arrangements, they would never agree, but when things have come to this point, they want to refuse. , That is not just not making a penny, but also losing a lot of money.
It is not easy for them to make some money. They can't do Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan as free and easy, so they can only proceed in this way.
From the beginning of the day, the price of grain from Jiannan to here has risen again and again. The merchants did not raise the price of grain at one time, but first dropped a few articles, and then wrote a few articles, and the mention was more than a drop. , Then drop again, and then mention again, giving people a very unstable feeling.
The plan was also made by the people behind Qi Dong’s family. It was very easy to use. Sure enough, some people who were still on the sidelines were attracted. The merchants slowly dragged on. One hundred shi of grain had to be tested for a day, and those who sold it were loose. After a sigh of relief, those who did not sell the food were anxious, fearing that the price would change the next day.
No one knows how much the merchants charge is enough, and if they don’t, the price will be gone.
The food in Jiannan Road often fluctuates suddenly, and the people are also worried. They have to eat and there is no land in their homes. Watching the food rise and fall, they don’t know whether to buy or not, and even when it’s low, it’s the same. It used to be much higher.
The old man Bi and the three were the first to lose their temper, and they found Zhang Zhong who was discussing investment in road construction with businessmen, and Zhang Zhong who was doing business in partnership.
"Yongcheng, what about Xiaobao's methods? I can't wait any longer. The people can't bear it anymore. If you don't want to solve this problem anymore, I, I will take out the food I eat and distribute it to the people."
Old Man Bi was very worried, and after watching Zhang Zhong send away a happy businessman, he demanded to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong really didn’t understand today’s situation. I heard Old Man Bi said that he asked someone to ask, and I was clear. He took out his tea set, and while making Kung Fu tea for the three old men, he said, “I can’t bear it so soon. I didn't expect that, according to Xiaobao's estimation, he would have to wait at least two to three days.
It seems that the people of Tubo are quite capable, knowing that they will adopt today’s method, OK, then I will move, open the Changping warehouse in Yizhou, and let the people receive food according to their household registration. Anyone who does not farm at home can receive it. The head count, even the wealthy, is also based on the head.
I robbed a lot of food from Tubo, and my family couldn’t finish it. For the people, we should first stabilize the market and wait for them to use other methods. Xiaobao said that economic warfare is so interesting. Can't reveal.
Of course, some people don’t know how to fight economic wars, they only know that they will pit the merchants in the end, but they don’t care about the people’s influence in the volatility, and they don’t blame them. Who makes them useless, Xiaobao said, he absolutely does not allow economic wars to affect them. The level of the people. "
When Zhang Zhong spoke, he straightened his chest, with a sense of arrogance, proud of himself, and proud of his son. If he is so mad, only his son can say it. If he says it is not allowed, then it is not allowed, just like a daughter-in-law. In the same way, Tubo's 40,000 troops were forced to garrison, not daring to move forward.
The old man Bi and the three were stunned by Zhang Zhong. They thought that Chang liquidation was the last resort, but they didn't expect that it was not. The Zhang family still had nothing to do.
Old Man Bi nodded slightly, took over a cup of tea, drank more than a half, poured out the rest, and said to Zhang Zhong with satisfaction: "Yongcheng, this is the right way. Xiaobao seems to be a true legend. Zhang family acts. Unpredictable, always keep one hand, making it impossible for people to guess where the bottom line is.
Okay, Kaiyizhou often closed the warehouse. Earlier, they grabbed a lot of food from Tubo and forced their people to the other side of the river. They should be able to survive for some time, that... Yongcheng, there is one more thing, since I don’t have it. The people who plant the land give out food, do the people who plant the land also give out some? Otherwise, it will chill the hearts of the people in the field. "
What Old Man Bi was thinking about. Old Man Yao also thought. He looked at Zhang Zhong and waited for Zhang Zhong’s reply. The people who planted the land kept grain for Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Zhong specially distributed grain to those who hadn’t planted. think
Zhang Zhong held the tea cup, looked at the faces of the three of them, and said, "There is a misunderstanding, otherwise Chang Lizhang will not be able to control too many people, and Xiaobao's plan will be interrupted, and my family will lose a lot. , Waiting for this period of time, will give the farmers a compensation.
But now we absolutely can’t do that. People who can’t keep the food can take advantage of this opportunity to sell the food, and those who are willing to keep it, then my Zhang family will not treat him badly. Just look at the popular sentiment. "
Old man Zhang has already drunk several cups of tea in a row, but he was not addicted to it. When he was about to pick up a new one and drink it, he listened to what Zhang Zhong said and said to Zhang Zhong: "Yongcheng, this is what you said. , In my ears, I can remember that if your family doesn't make compensation by then, I will... I will hang the money at your door."
"Don't, Uncle Zhang, you must not do this, I will definitely make arrangements, rest assured, it is cold again, the construction of Yizhou is almost going on, and I need to expand outwards, how can I also before leaving Jiannan Road, To make life easier for the people here, I also ask three people to help.
As for the frontline wars and the rear economic wars, you don't have to worry too much about them. They are all trivial matters. Whether the people's lives will be better or not is the big thing. "
Zhang Zhong smiled and stopped the old man Zhang. Zhang had a bad temper. He couldn't do anything to the Zhang family, so he wanted to use his life to force him. Zhang Zhong was also not disgusted. After all, the three old men are also dedicated to the people. The approach is a bit extreme, it doesn't hurt.
The three old men got the answer they wanted. After drinking the tea, they went fishing. Zhang Zhong immediately arranged for people to open the Changping warehouse, mobilize the manpower and transport them to various areas affected by food prices, and distribute them to the local people. People give part of it for nothing, and ordinary people sell it to them at a fair price as before.
Since the food was robbed of Tibet, Zhang Zhong himself did not keep it, let alone make money. He promised the local people that the money from selling the food would be returned to them in another way. After the frontline affairs, it is basically operational. , Let them wait.
Zhang’s house is always closed, and it is only aimed at people who don’t farm. Those who have food feel uncomfortable. They hesitate whether to sell the food or not. The cuckoos are still fighting, Zhang Zhong said. Bian didn't consider himself and others, how should he choose
Just when they hesitated, Zhang Xiaobao’s original operation had an effect. The imperial court came to prove to the various prefectures of Jiannan Road that Juanjuan was not the commander of this war, but used her age to scare Tubo. The real generals are different.
At this moment, the people also knew. They could not guess more content. They could only choose to believe the words of the court, knowing that the cuckoo was not such a powerful evil spirit. It was an expert who stood behind and used it to anger Tubo. Mobilize the forces of Tubo.
The people of many kinds of grain changed their minds and sold the grain in their hands to the grain collectors. Because the grain collectors controlled the purchase amount and deliberately delayed, the grain sellers became platoons at the place where the grain was purchased.
Seeing that the merchants took their time deliberately when they were harvesting, the people stopped doing it and clamored for the merchants to harvest their own grains at the price they provided.
As a result, the pressure on the grain-collecting merchants increased greatly. Seeing the angry people on the street waiting to sell the grain, they were afraid that the government would intervene in the end and had no choice but to find Qi Dong's house again.
Qi Dong's family did not expect Zhang Zhong to react so quickly. He also knows that the economic war on his side was discovered by the Zhang family, and all the methods were aimed at the price of food in his own place.
Thinking of the economic war still leaking from Zhang's family, Qi Dong's family couldn't help but write to the people behind him. He didn't think Zhang's family couldn't see the way, they did this.
The people behind Qi Dong’s family also replied in a short period of time. First they reprimanded Qi Dong’s family, saying that he couldn’t keep his breath and he would mess around with things. Then he mentioned the way to deal with it and told Qi. The boss, all things, as long as you think carefully, there will be a solution.
When Qi Dongjia received the letter, whether it was said or not, if he got the treasure, he found a group of businessmen again.
"Can't you wait? If you encounter a small matter, you will lose your breath. What can you do in the future? Think carefully, there is actually a solution to any matter."
Qi Dongjia told the merchants what the people behind him said to him, as if he were a master.
The businessmen looked at each other, where did they think of how to solve it? Turning his head, staring at Qi Dong's house, waiting for him to make arrangements, wanting to see what methods he has.
Qi Dongjia really enjoyed the feeling of being highly regarded by others, and said to everyone: "It's very simple. First collect their food, but not immediately give them money. Tell them that they will be given money after the inspection, but it is OK. Set up a written statement. If the inspection is completed, they will not be compensated. If the inspection cannot be accepted, tell them the reason. As long as you survive this period, it is not what you say then?"
"Qi Dongjia, your idea sounds good, but what if you really don't have the money to collect it? Is it possible that I will really lose the people's money?"
A businessman thought for a while, and thought of the crux of the problem. By doing this, didn't Qi Dongjia put himself in wait for others
The other businessmen also thought about it, and looked at Qi Dong's house one by one, waiting for a reasonable explanation, and could not be deceived.
Qi Dongjia had planned for a long time, laughed, and said, "You guys, don’t tell me, you don’t know what is going on. Then, if you really don’t want to do it, you can change the method and tell the food seller, say you. It is buying grain for a person surnamed Chen and asking them to send the grain to Tonghua County, where someone will receive it. You don’t have much money to collect it."
Qi Dongjia really didn’t want to do this, so his role seemed to be small. The letter from the people behind it also mentioned this point. Let him look at the arrangement and make use of it. Of course, the people behind him are Think of him as the kind of very sociable person, thinking that with his ability, he can get merchants to pay for food.
He didn't have the abilities himself. He didn't want to admit it, and didn't dare to delay major events, so he had to tell the other person, and the two were combined, and from now on, he would take that person as the main one.
With the new method, the businessmen were satisfied and left happily to arrange their own affairs.
Soon, the people learned about this, estimated the distance and freight, and felt that there was still a lot of money, either by transporting them by themselves, or by hired carts and horses. The mighty grain transport team was heading towards Tonghua County in Maozhou. Away.
The team is not small. The people in the local transportation industry have made a lot of money right away, and they have raised the price one by one. The reason is that the roads are not easy now, and the prices of livestock and animal feeding are expensive, or they are waiting. After Zhang Zhong has repaired the road, he must spend more money.
The old man Bi and the three had no intention of fishing again, and were going to find Zhang Zhong, but before they could move, Zhang Zhong found them in advance.
