"The Book of Rites. Pinyi" says: "Guizhang is a virtue."

If a husband has no character and moral character, no matter how rich he is, he is still a mediocre person.

At the end of the letter, Liu Yuxi also mentioned something in a slightly contemptuous tone.

After he wrote "Huashan Song", he also gave it to Quan Deyu for a look. When Quan saw the sentence "The mountains are infinite, and this is the only way to be a mountain", he actually said to him in a terrifying manner that these two sentences violated the name of Duke Wei, and can be covered or replaced with homophones.

At this point, Liu Yuxi looked down on Quan Deyu, who was flattering the power family everywhere, and said to Liu privately in the letter: "Although there is a magical horse in this world, it would be too much to achieve the same level as thousands of horses."

Liu Zongyuan smiled bitterly. He knew that this sentence was aimed at Duke Wei Gao Yue, and he didn't know how to reply to his friend, so he had to fold it up.

He only remembered what Gao Yue said: "If you want to succeed, you cannot let yourself fail. The loser will be gone, and there is no ambition or ambition."

When autumn just came, Cui Yunshao, Yunhe and Zhihui, who came to Yangzhou, went to visit Heguanchang Street together.

In front of the transfer courtyard in Yangzi Town, merchants from all over the place gathered together, and the entire river was filled with ships preparing to transport along the Bian River.

"This, this..." After Yangzi left, Wang Haichao stood in the courtyard hall and stuttered.

The one sitting opposite is Gao Yue.

Wang Haichao was shocked and puzzled: the ships with large and small ferry outside the Transportation Hospital were not loaded with money.

Even though this time, Gao Yue said that he only needed 30% of the money he received was paid in cash, but he said that he would not send it to the treasury of the Duzhi Division of the Capital.

In addition, Gao Yue really abolished the false estimation method, and when the people paid taxes with rice, grain and cloth, he also issued a special document, stipulating that each piece of cloth of the people was calculated at a consistent rate of 200 ci, and each stone of the rice was calculated at a fixed rate of 700 ci. In this way, even if the people paid in kind tax, the people were much less than in previous years, so that all the people in Huainan were happy, and some prefectures and counties had even begun to establish temples and sacrifices for Gao Yue!

The salt merchants hated Gao Yue and hated him to death.

"Duke Wei, you will not have to send 30% of the cash to the capital by boat. Just sending cloth and some buckets of rice, Master Pei from the Duzhi branch dares not speak, but the Holy Lord!" Wang Haichao could only say this.

"Wang Liu Hou, not only did not give away the cash from the two taxes, but also did not give away the 2 million guan of money from the salt induced incident." Gao Yue's subsequent request made Wang Haichao want to kneel down and kowtow to the grandfather, and to the extent that he broke the skull and neck.

Could it be that Gao Yue wants to occupy Jiuzhou in Huainan to rebel?

If you die, you will die, why bother me?

But Gao Yue said: "Empress Wang Liu must have scolded me in his heart. Even though he knew that the Holy Lord needed to pay taxes and get money from the Eight Roads of Jianghuai, he dared to withhold two taxes and salt and iron."

"How dare you? But Duke Wei should at least use money to convert it into light goods and deliver it to the capital."

"I don't have to send Huainan money to the capital, nor do I convert it into a false price. I can take the money I have to hide, but I won't be short of any money."

"?" Wang Haichao raised his head and looked at Gao Yue wonderingly to see if he had a playful look.

However, Gao Yue was serious, "I used the capital's money as two tax money and hid it from the left and right."

"??" This is what Wang Haichao's expression was.

"The money collected from Huainan can be kept in Huainan."

“???”

At this time, Gao Yue slapped his high-high and walked over from the crowd outside the hall a row of people wearing silk and satin.

"This is Prince Fu, a tea merchant from Xuanzhou." Gao Yue introduced to Wang Haichao.

Prince Fu followed several times, holding a tea cake of excellent texture. Gao Yue introduced in turn: "Tianzhu tea in Shuzhou, Huoshan Huangya in Shouzhou, and Shugang tea produced in our Yangzhou tea garden. As long as these teas can be sold to Bian Song Zoulu, the price can be tripled; if it can be sold to Dongdu, the price can be five times; if it can be sold to Chang'an, the price can be seven times; if it can be sold to Chiling and sold to Xifan, the price can be twelve or three times."

Wang Haichao bowed and listened. To be honest, let alone Tianzhu Tea and Huangya, he lacked understanding of even the local Shugang Tea in Yangzhou.

Then another merchant stepped forward, holding a small medicine bag in his hand.

"Most of the herbs inside were transported to Yangzhou along the river in Xichuan. As the saying goes, "There are fewer medicines in Jiangnan and there are in Huainan." In fact, Huainan did not produce medicines, but it became a distribution center due to the development of water and land transportation. This drug dealer named Feng Jun specializes in trafficking drugs to Jiangnan and Zhejiang, making several times the profit."

The next person, Gao Yue, introduced that his name was Wang Zhongyuan, was a wooden merchant.

"The city of Chang'an, palaces, temples, and residences in Tang State are more than tens of millions. All of them use wood and wood. However, in the early years, there were no trees in the entire capital of the capital that could be used as houses and furniture. Huazhou and Shanzhou could still be exported from the valleys, but most of them had to be transported from Lanzhou in Hedong or Longshan in Qinzhou. However, the wood in Huainan is still lush. If the Yangtze River thieves are completely cleared in the future, they can still carry wood from Eyue and Jiangxi to make wood into wood."

Wang Haichao saw that Wang Zhongyuan was holding a very exquisite bed model in his hand.

"This kind of bed is so beautiful that it can be transported to the capital along the Caohe River, which can make a profit of 20,000 yuan, not to mention other wooden tools."

Further back, several Hu Shangs in silk robes, with black and curled hair, rich beards, high noses and deep eyes, and fair skin came forward, and the head was the jewelry king of Yangzhou, whose Chinese name was Hu Daoji.

What Hu Daoji holds is jewelry made of gold and jewelry.

"There are gold, silver and copper in Yangzhou, and there are also Hu merchants and Hu shops, which specialize in making profits by processing gold, silver and jewelry. Just transporting raw gold from here to the capital, and when the price of gold rises, you can make a profit of 8,000 yuan per liang. If you use jewelry to sell it, you can make a profit of 15,000 yuan per liang."

Gradually, Wang Haichao seemed to understand what Gao Yue said, using capital money to pay two taxes to the national treasury.

Sure enough, Gao Yue said below: "Not to mention, I can also transport yarn, wine, rattan paper, porcelain and other goods from Jiangnan and Zhejiang, and sell them to both cities, and make a double profit."

Then Gao Yue invited two merchants, a man and a woman, and then introduced the man as Wang Si's uncle, and the woman as Aunt Yu.

"These two have a large number of ships, called dealers (wholesalers). Merchants from all over the world have to rely on them for trafficking. The so-called hiding cargo cannot be seen by people - so the following matter is very simple. Wang Siwei, aunt Yu's ship, the ship left behind in Yangzhou, and the newly built ships of our military mansion, will no longer transport taxes or light goods. Instead, we sold the good goods from Yangzhou just now along the grain transport to the east and west capitals. The profits obtained are all cash. Finally, all gathered to the Jinzuoyuan in the capital of Huainan, and let the Jinzuoyuan directly use the money as two taxes and send it to the national treasury. Isn't this using the money from the capital to pay the tax? In this way, the money from Huainan can be left in Huainan and circulated locally, and the money shortage will no longer exist, and the court no longer has to bear the money for footwork, and there is a strange situation of "spend money to transport money."

"But after the merchant arrived at the capital, all the money obtained from selling goods was sent to the Jinzhaoyuan and then entered the national treasury. How should merchants make profits?"

Faced with Wang Haichao's question, Gao Yue took out a piece of colored paper from his sleeve, "As long as the merchants abide money, exchange this thing from Jinzouyuan, and then return to Yangzhou, he can get the same amount of money, and he will never be in debt."
