Chapter 13 Strange Goods

"Congratulations to the host for experiencing a special dream and receiving a copy of "Business Economics"."

When Chen Mo woke up from his dream, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his face, which was quite warm. The trade economy that appeared in his mind was created by Chen Mo in a special dream, and he created trade from scratch, from small to large.

How to operate, how to gather connections, and how to establish industry rules, his business skills have also reached a professional level.

Of course, in the world of special dreams, commerce and trade are much more developed than today. In the final analysis, commerce is still based on the abundance of materials and the ability of goods to circulate. The Han Dynasty is not considered poor, but taking Hedong as an example now, in terms of people's livelihood

It is definitely not considered rich. It is impossible to make business as developed as in the dream world.

Therefore, this business theory is somewhat incompatible with the current era. If you want to use it, many things need to be changed. But the most important thing is that if business develops to the point like in a dream, it can indeed threaten the imperial power and the government.

.

I can’t remember the details, but based on my vague memory, if business is not restricted, it is entirely possible that everyone will pursue profit in the end, and rituals and music will collapse. From this point of view, it is not entirely possible for the sages to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.

There is no basis for it. Nowadays, big families also have caravans, but they will never count caravans as the core of the family. It seems unfair, but it is not necessarily unreasonable.

But even though the Qin and Han Dynasties suppressed business, judging from today's business, business was progressing during this period. The root cause is the development of agriculture and handicrafts, which made it possible for many people to join in even if business was rejected by others.

Chen Mo does not want to change this pattern. From the perspective of trade and economics combined with some vague dream memories, business must be under the control of the government. The government can kill businessmen with just one word. Otherwise, if business is allowed to develop uncontrollably,

How that will ultimately turn out is impossible to predict.

"Lord, are you awake?" When he walked out of the back hall, Man Chong was still working on the copywriting. When he saw Chen Mo, he smiled.

"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded. To Man Chong, it was just a long time since he had seen Chen Mo, but in Chen Mo's feeling, it seemed that he hadn't seen Man Chong for a long time, and it was a bit strange.

After a while, the memory was retrieved bit by bit, and Chen Mo just said: "In the government office, there should be the business and main livelihood of the tycoons in each county."

"Nowadays, the most important trade in Hedong is naturally salt. In addition, war horses are also exchanged with the Huns and then sold in the Central Plains." Man Chong nodded.

The existence of the Salt Supervisor is the main commodity in Hedong's trade with other places. Even the salt of Yanzhou and Yuzhou is now purchased from Hedong. From this point of view, Hedong's economic advantages are also very obvious. Of course, if there are not enough

The power of self-preservation is also the source of disaster. This is why Chen Mo quickly planned to merge the state and even Hanoi after he succeeded in Hedong.

As for the sale of war horses, it is much simpler. The relationship between the Han Dynasty and the barbarians in the north has always been one of fighting and pulling, and the transaction has never been cut off.

"What about other than that?" Chen Mo asked doubtfully when Man Chong didn't say anything more.

"It's mainly these two, and less in other aspects, such as silk, cloth, porcelain and other trades. Most of them are purchased from other places. There is not much output in Hedong." Man Chong shook his head and said.

As for the more important grain trade, in today's world, grain is hard currency, and without enough profit, no one is willing to take it out.

"In this way, in the name of the Governor of Hedong, you can send a letter to Chang'an, Jizhou, Yanzhou, and Yuzhou respectively. There are so many refugees in Hanoi this year that it is difficult to make a living. Let's borrow some food and grass from them." Chen Mo thought for a while and said.

If Hedong's economy wants to recover, it must first become rich. If he runs it slowly by himself, Chen Mo estimates that it will take at least three to five years. However, things in the world are ever-changing. What the world will be like in three to five years is really uncertain. With the help of

It is the fastest and most effective to use external forces to stimulate the economy of Hedong and surrounding areas.

"Tell them, it can be as short as three years or as long as five years, and they will definitely pay back double the amount." Chen Mo thought for a moment and then ordered.

Man Chong nodded, looked at Chen Mo with a smile and said, "My lord is wise, Chong will do it here."

With the current situation in the world, it is hard to say whether these state pastors are still alive in three to five years. If they are gone, then the debt will be wiped out after death. If they are still there, they will be repaid double when the time comes.

His reputation can be regarded as an additional ally in disguise, and if the amount of money borrowed from these people is large, in order to avoid having no place to collect debts, he will also protect Chen Mo in his speech. Invisibly, it gives Chen Mo a relative.

Stable development environment.

"Where did Dian Wei go?" Chen Mo suddenly felt that something was missing. He turned around and looked around, but did not see Dian Wei's shadow, and said a little strangely.

"Let him go to Linfen to deliver the letter." Man Chong looked at Chen Mo and said.

Chen Moran nodded after a moment and said, "It's okay to let him have something to do."

"It's getting late, so I'll go back to the mansion first. I need to take care of the banquet for the wealthy gentry from all ethnic groups in the future." Chen Mo carried a few bamboo slips related to some commercial affairs in Guan Yu, greeted Man Chong, and went back to the mansion.

So, why don’t you come to the Yamen Office and take a nap after what happened today?

Looking at Chen Mo's back, Man Chong's serious face had a smile on his face. Could it be that he came out to hide from Qing Jing?

In fact, according to Chen Mo's current rules, even if he doesn't come to the government office occasionally, there will be no problem. Hedong's current rules have been gradually improved. Zang Hong has been running around these days, attracting a lot of criticism.

The most important thing is to help Chen Mo close the last link before leaving. It has been quite effective now, and the operation between various government offices is quite smooth. At this time, what Chen Mo needs to do is to control the general direction.

The office will naturally come, and there is no need to come every day.

This is a big family, so there are many things to worry about. It's the same for every family. Man Chong was just curious in his heart and didn't go into it further. After all, Chen Mo is the lord, and it is not what a courtier should do to meddle too much in the lord's private affairs.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't know Man Chong's thoughts, but it was indeed strange to go to the government office to sleep. When he returned home, he first talked to his mother, and then teased Heizi for a while, before Chen Mo started arranging the servants to prepare for the banquet the day after tomorrow.

Chen Mo came to the study and began to write a book on trade economics. Shang must be suppressed, but now it is necessary to use business to ease the internal conflicts in Hedong. There is a degree of uncertainty in this. At the banquet the day after tomorrow, Chen Mo is going to take this piece

Let me tell you something. Within three years, the Shareholders Trading and Government Office will release a portion of the salt trade to encourage various wealthy families to trade. However, the local salt trade in Hedong must be presided over by the government, and they cannot be left to raise prices.

.

Moreover, the salt trade can only be handled by the wealthy families in Hedong. The wealthy families or wealthy merchants in other states and counties will not be considered. This can be regarded as some discounts. Of course, accordingly, these families have to help Chen Mo find out the news, purchase war horses and some government offices.

The government office will finance the purchase of needed supplies, but the price must be appropriate. This is a win-win situation.

In addition, it is not suitable for more people to invest in the development of handicrafts at the moment. The most important thing right now is grain. 90% of the population in Hedong County must be invested in farming. Manure will be further promoted this year and distributed to all areas in Hedong.

The family gives them away for free, which can be regarded as some compensation to them.

Chen Mo wrote six bamboo slips to finish the whole thing. These are just general intentions. There will be more detailed additions later. He plans to write them tomorrow.

Juan'er had just lost her virginity, and Chen Mo didn't want her to have any health problems, so he asked her to stay with her mother before Chen Mo went back to his room to rest.



Early the next morning, Wei Mansion.

"Master, this is the list of congratulatory gifts prepared for the Chen Mansion tomorrow. Please take a look at it." The old steward handed a bamboo slip to Wei Qian and bowed.

"What's there?" Wei Qian asked casually while dancing his sword.

"According to the master's instructions, it doesn't need to be too expensive, so I chose ten jars of Fenhe wine, a pair of jade pendants, and a soft silk robe." The steward bowed and said, "Are there any..."

"Just right." Wei Jian did not stop, but smiled and said: "The gift is too thick, and the young envoy would not dare to accept it. If it is too thin, it is a bit contemptuous. These not only express your feelings, but will not make it difficult for him to accept."

.”

Yesterday, the Chen family sent someone to deliver a large amount of property, which was similar in value to the food sent by the Wei family. Wei Jian naturally understood what this meant. Chen Mo did not want to take advantage of the Wei family in this matter, but accordingly

, the Wei family can't open any mouth to embarrass Chen Mo.

"Remember, now that the Chen family has established a foothold in Hedong, the children of the Wei family must abide by the law, otherwise if they really fall into the hands of this young envoy, the clan will not be able to come forward." Wei said with a smile.

"Master, are you too much for this young prefect..." the old steward frowned. The Wei family has always been the talker in Hedong. Although there are some children in the family who are not very good, it is not the turn of outsiders to take charge. Now

When Chen Mo came, I felt that the power of the Wei family was not as powerful as before.

"Too afraid?" Wei Jian slowly sheathed his sword, let out a long breath, took the silk scarf handed by the steward, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "This envoy is young and talented, has more skills, and is determined to make progress.

He had the intention, and acted with moderation. If he said he was afraid, it would not be so. But if he really confronted him, the Wei family, as a big family in Hedong, would be the first to be suppressed by the envoy. No matter what the final result was,

We have lost. If our Wei family wants to become a big family, we must know how to advance and retreat. Just like now, isn't this young envoy also quite polite to my Wei family?"

"The head of the family is right. It's just that our Wei family has suffered a lot since he entered Hedong." The old steward sighed. This is not a matter of attitude, but that the Wei family has been suffering losses up to now.

"Do you know if there is a place for rare goods?" Wei asked with a smile.

"He?" The old steward frowned. The Wei family has been mainly engaged in business these years, so they naturally know that there are rare things to live in.

"Don't underestimate it. Now you just need to maintain respect for the envoy. Although the situation in Hedong is temporarily stable, there are some problems that are difficult to deal with. Whether it is a strange thing or not depends on how he handles it. No matter what, the Wei family will
