Chapter 438 New Things in the Drizzle Teahouse!
There were fine rains in the sky. A group of merchants sat down under a simple teahouse to take shelter from the rain. The carriage stopped for a long time. At this time, it was covered with a rain-proof tent, like a dark house.
The person who runs the teahouse looks no different from the people in the Central Plains, but in fact, he is quite a super family, that is, the Dangxiang people.
Zhao Liang wiped the drops of rain and sweat on his hair, exhaled a white breath, picked up the hot tea on the table and drank it.
This tea is far from comparable to the good tea he used to drink in Jiangnan, but he is used to it now.
Seeing that a year is finally coming to an end, since taking the whole family into the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Zhao family has finally had its own foundation in the north again.
As a lineage of life, Zhao is undoubtedly proud! Therefore, a faint smile appeared on his face that looked like a lot of vicissitudes.
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, maybe there will be a heavy snow one day! He imagined that this batch of fur collected from the north for a year was sold to various places through shops in Shu. Zhao would re-consolidate the position of the big family, and he couldn't help taking a sip of tea.
"Boss Zhao, this harvest looks good..."
"Ha ha, it's quite great, your teahouse should be renovated, otherwise how can you make a lot of money?"
Zhao Liang smiled and said that a short but strong man came out of a simple hut behind the teahouse and was walking towards Zhao Liang!
This person's ancestor used to be a patriarch of the Pochao clan. I don't know which year it began. The Pochao clan lost its status among the Dangxiang clan. At this time, there were not even many people left!
This man named quite heavy is now building a teahouse on the road that Zhao Liang and others must pass through in the north and south. Usually, he let two servants do the business of the teahouse. In fact, he still goes out hunting for a living most of the time!
He sat down and smiled and said, "It's time to be bigger. I don't know why. Recently, more and more people have gone to Yanyunzhou, and more and more businessmen have harvested from it... I wonder if it's time to give up hunting and just get a big teahouse!"
After saying that, he laughed first, and then took a look at the desolate surroundings and felt funny about his idea!
But Zhao Liang seemed to say to him very seriously, "Seriously, you can't joke now. Although this place seems desolate, with the increase of the population of Yanyunzhou, there will be a lot of people doing business on this road sooner or later. If you don't want to enter Yanyunzhou, it's best to open a teahouse here. It's better than hunting for a living!"
"Oh? Boss Zhao used to complain about the difficulty of this road every day, but why did he persuade me instead? He asked with great doubt.
Zhao Liang sighed, and his eyes became complicated. He seemed to remember some past events. After a long time, he said in a complicated tone, "No one expected that Yanyunzhou would be taken back like this, and he didn't know where the Jin people had retreated now... What's more, Yanyunzhou will be angry so soon! He... He is indeed a great person."
I was quite confused. "Who is the guy you're talking about?"
"King Yanyun, a very young prince! Don't you know the news about Yanyunzhou now? No wonder you are still hunting here and didn't go to Yanyunzhou... But it's also strange that no one told you that there were so many people along the way?
Zhao Liang looked puzzled.
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Is it... Is the news of the division true?
Zhao Liang said with a wry smile, "So you know? Ha ha... If you have a field, you will never take it back, and you will not pay taxes until three years later. This article is enough to attract many people..."
"Is this true?" The tone was full of surprise.
"Who said no... I saw with my own eyes a county with less than 200 people, and now there are thousands of people... In addition to the fact that this field will never be taken back, in fact, even the way of those county officials govern the jurisdiction is really strange! I, Zhao Liang, am also a person who travels from the south to the north... For the first time, I think a place like Yanyunzhou is actually quite good!"
Zhao Liang said, and there was no sign of joy or sorrow in his tone, always with some complicated regrets.
It seemed to be very interesting, and I began to ask this question.
He set up a teahouse here for an accidental reason, so he met a big merchant like Zhao Liang, but they appreciated each other and became friends.
Quite a deep question, Zhao Liang naturally took this opportunity to start to talk about it.
It turns out that since Zhao Liang and other families entered Yanyunzhou, they have been doing some fur and medicinal herbs business between the cracks of the war.
For merchants, they know how to make goods business, and buying and selling is nothing more than buying and selling, and vice versa! All five families are well swd in business.
So what they have to do is to open up a channel, a channel for business! Naturally, the road to the south of the Yangtze River is impossible to go. We can only go to the southwest. Although the southwest is not as rich as the land of the south of the Yangtze River, it is also a place with a large population, and there is no shortage of rich people!
Everyone knows that where there are people, there is business.
So under difficult conditions, Zhao Liang himself began to participate in the opening up of this road. During this period, he experienced a lot of hardships, but he magically witnessed the retreat of the golden people of the Victory River of the State of Zhao!
Of course, this gives these merchants a better environment for purchasing fur and medicinal materials. On this road, Zhao Liang and others inevitably deal with people of all ethnic groups, including some people from Liaoning, Jin, Dang Xiang... Even Zhao Liang and those people themselves can't tell which country they belong to.
Betwe do business, as long as they benefit from each other, it has nothing to do with race. The strength of businessmen is to bring business to others and to themselves...
Walking between Yanyunzhou, Zhao Liang gradually discovered the changes that began in Yanyunzhou.
Then, not long ago, I began to receive the news from Youzhou, which spread all over Yanyunzhou and was being transmitted outward.
Yan Yunwang... That is, Song Yi. It is said that Song Yi issued an announcement: those who have no home or land in the past, but those who are registered as residents in Yanyunzhou will be divided into fields according to the head of people, and no tax will be collected within three years... As long as the author is willing to work, he can rely on building walls for Yanyunzhou, or helping the rich build houses, restaurants, houses, and other credit to owe seeds and work as tools!
These are attractive to any civilian in the world! Therefore, more and more people are migrating to Yanyunzhou!
A small number of people have even begun to have their own fields and build simple houses. And their seeds can indeed be exchanged for their own labor!
It is a little incredible that these things were first introduced to Zhao Liang, but the most incredible thing is that Youzhou is experimenting with some different grain planting, and there is a possibility that they will be planted in autumn and bear fruit in winter.
This news, this fashion is still circulating. I'm afraid that in winter, it will be known whether it is a rumor or a miracle! This kind of thing came to the ears of civilians... It should be impossible in anyone's ears, but after experiencing too many incredible things, Zhao Liang himself had a ridiculous feeling of inexplicable belief!
It's still raining, and Zhao Liang is still talking about the changes in Yanyunzhou at this time...
