Chapter 2104 Opportunity
Cai Mao only cares about money, not the government, and knows nothing about Liang Mao, so he quickly left the name behind. What he is now troubled is whether the profits can be satisfied with others and whether he can attract enough partners.
It is impossible to split the 73rd share, and he didn't expect it. He just proposed to ask Sun Ce to bargain, such as to make a June 4th or a little more. Five-5 is more risky than Four-55. Even if he finds a gold mine, he still has to spend money to mine. If there is not enough profit, who is willing to go? It's just that the eldest sister's appearance is like she may be rushing people at any time, so he dare not be too concerned. Five-55 is just Five-5. With Sun Ce's cautious and meticulous work, the risk of this matter may not be that great.
Women are women, and their elbows are twitching out. They used to be the one who kidnapped the Huang family, but now they are better. They just kidnapped directly to their son-in-law's house. She didn't think about who Sun Ce was? When did she suffer any losses, and she still needed her protection? After all, she still had long hair and short knowledge. She was deceived by Sun Ce for a few words about her mother.
Cai Mao felt wronged and was particularly ruthless when he was eating. Tangyi Heishan pork was only one plate, but the rice was really added twice. He drank a large glass of honey wine. Only then did he feel more balanced, and he finally saw a smile on his face.
Sun Ce said that when Cai Mao found the continent in the sea and drew the map, he asked Cai Jue to design some golden bottles, carve the map on the bottle, and then carve the names of the people who went out to sea, some stayed in the National History Museum for future generations to admire, and some were rewarded for those who went out to sea for their descendants to preserve. He also wanted to ask Huang Chengyan to create some jade swords and award them to those who have made contributions to show encouragement.
After hearing this, Cai Jue glanced at Cai Mao and said, "This is the supreme glory, and I don't know who has this honor."
Cai Mao understood it and quickly patted his chest and said that no matter what others said, the Cai family would definitely do their best. He then asked again, could the Chamber of Commerce share the worries of the country? Can the Chamber of Commerce also express their opinions? The Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money, but now what they lacked is face. Although the Wu Kingdom valued merchants and merchants were also called scholars, after all, they could not change their habits, and there were many people who looked down on merchants. If the King of Wu could lead the trend, it would be great.
Sun Ce told Cai Mao that the New Year is approaching, and he wanted to invite some representatives of the people, scribes, warriors, peasants, merchants, and workers during the New Year's Festival. They have a certain number of places to participate in the grand ceremony with officials and county staff, and participate in a series of rituals such as suburban festivals after the New Year, and distribute some souvenirs to encourage them to work hard for the past year. Who are suitable for business people? Being a representative in the business world, not only should you be a big taxpayer, but you should also be good-natured and profit-oriented. People who are not kind to wealth and unkind cannot appear in such occasions. Donate funds to support education, and those who build bridges and pave roads will be given priority.
Cai Mao was overjoyed. This trip was not in vain. After receiving the news, he had time to prepare and he had to fight for several places no matter what.
In front of Huang Chengyan and Cai Jue, Sun Ce's posture was very low, and it was the feeling of a son-in-law coming to the door. Without any explanation, his low-key won Cai Jue's great satisfaction. One-third of the Tangyi Heishan Pigs entered his stomach. Fortunately, the pigs are not big these days, and Cai Jue picked another suckling pig, otherwise he would not be able to eat it. Even so, he was a little overwhelmed and didn't take the car, so he took Huang Yueying's hand to walk to digest food.
Tangshan has hot springs, which are gathering areas for dignitaries and nobles, occupying most of the scenery and hot springs. Even though Sun Ce insists on leaving some for ordinary people, the people will have the opportunity to enjoy the gift of heaven and earth. In the end, he only retained several larger hot springs at the foot of the mountain, far away from the center of Tangshan. Because there are many people coming to soak in hot springs, vendors or nearby people sell food, toys or mountain goods here, which naturally forms a small market, which is also lively. Walking on the mountain road, looking at the crowd like ants at the foot of the mountain from afar, he suddenly feels superior to looking down on all living beings.
In order to maintain this sense of superiority and avoid being disturbed by ordinary people, levels are set up at the foot of the mountain, and anyone who goes up the mountain will check. The levels are originally nameless and are not even officially established, but everyone has agreed to its existence because they are near the hot springs, over time, they get the name of the hot springs.
Sun Ce heard people mention this hot spring pass, but he was busy with government affairs and had no time to watch it. When he moved to Tangshan after the winter, he did not see this pass either. He must have known that he came and did not want him to see it, so he took the initiative to withdraw. He did not like this hot spring pass, but he also knew that it was impossible to avoid the gap. The differentiation of social classes could not be avoided. Happy with the people was always just a show. Being able to retain an area for the people was the limit he could do at present.
Classes are not scary, but only the upward passage is blocked. The old aristocratic families have not been removed, and new aristocratic families have been formed. A group of them were captured and several were cut off, including many of them. Fortunately, Lu Kang, Xie Yan and others supported them, and Shen You and Zhu Huan, the generals in the army took the initiative to restrain their families. This unhealthy trend finally stopped a little.
But this is only temporary, and sooner or later someone will jump out. It was not until this time that Sun Ce understood why Taizu said that the movement would take place every few years. The methods may be discussed, but objective needs exist. Changing customs is not easy, and the task is heavy and the way is long.
Seeing that Sun Ce was feeling a little depressed, Huang Yueying tilted her head and looked at him. "What's wrong? I feel wronged?"
"What's wronged?" Sun Ce withdrew his mind, laughed, held Huang Yueying's hand, and walked slowly along the mountain road made of stone slabs. "If you want to be wronged, it's your uncle who is wronged, so I won't feel wronged."
Thinking of Cai Mao's appearance in front of his mother, Huang Yueying giggled. "He doesn't know. My mother seems to be fierce to him, but in fact she loves him the most. Who made him the only son of this room and the youngest? Look at it, he will definitely bring back a lot of bags now."
"There is nothing in Jingu Garden, and you still have to take it from your house?"
"Don't mention Jingu Garden. My mother thought this name was vulgar and didn't want to go there. So it was just that you said that it was a golden bottle. If someone else had changed it, my mother wouldn't bother to pay attention to you. According to her mood, it must be the jade bottle that is elegant."
"Jade bottle? It's not impossible, but I can't find such a big jade, and there is no good jade craftsman in Jiangdong."
"If jade is not done, porcelain bottles are also made up, they are better than gold."
"This can be considered." Sun Ce remembered the celadons I saw in the Huang family just now, and thought Huang Yueying's suggestions were feasible. Yuzhang has been relatively peaceful in recent years, and the level of porcelain production has improved rapidly, especially when Cai Jue, a person with wealthy, leisure and culture intervened, he did not blindly pursue output, but kept improving, and produced a batch of fine products. In contrast, Yuzhou's ceramic and glass production this year have been affected a lot, with a little decline in quality, and obviously insufficient competitiveness.
"Really possible?"
"Of course, why not?" Sun Ce said with a smile.
"You are the king, you are so kind, who dares to disobey?"
"Golden words? Whoever believes is a fool."
"Hehe, then I believe you, wouldn't you be a fool?"
"Of course, I'll be stupid for three years after one pregnancy."
"ah"
The emperor had a dark face and crumpled the newspaper in his hand into a ball and threw it on the table. The carriage was shaking, and the paper ball was shaking around on the table and rolled down. Liu Ye quickly took the ball of paper, spread it on the table, and gently smoothed it.
The emperor glanced at him and his eyebrows moved. "Ziyang, what are your solutions?"
Liu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this year is the summary year of Sun Ce's five-year plan. It is faster than the New Year before and slower than the New Year. The implementation results of this five-year plan must be answered. We can get a lot of data from it to make it clearer about Sun Ce's reality."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and nodded. There are many types of information, and the intelligence with the highest value of exact data. If Sun Ce publicly released the results of the implementation of the five-year plan, his strength would not be hidden. Judging from Lu Cui's article, the result should not be very ideal, otherwise Lu Cui would not accuse the court of provoking war. This is obviously to shirk responsibility and find reasons for not completing the plan.
It can be imagined that as soon as this report was released, the people under Sun Ce's rule would feel even less in their hearts.
"Sun Ce said that the cost of war has greatly affected the lives of the people. If His Majesty proposes to stop the war, what reason does he have to refuse?"
"Stop the war?" The emperor's eyes turned and his eyes lit up. This was a good idea, especially in Jizhou. Yuan Tan could no longer hold on. He hoped that Liu Bei could take over Jizhou, but Liu Bei had just been seriously injured. General Guan Yu had a rift with Liu Bei again, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make a move. If he could make a quit, it would not take long. At most, the situation in Jizhou would be much better.
The emperor sat up. "Ziyang, tell me in detail."
Liu Ye nodded. "As the saying goes: A family is big and the business is big, and there are many people talk. Sun Ce's power is increasing day by day, and civil and military affairs are growing day by day, and it is inevitable that they will fight for power and profit. I received news that last month, the Jiangdong family occupied land, which aroused public anger, and Sun Ce had to kill a group of people. This shows that some of the discrimination within Sun Ce has been so serious that it cannot be ignored."
The emperor snorted: "Yes, he was determined to do the kingly way, but in the end he still wanted to do the domineering. I was afraid he would feel uncomfortable."
"Your Majesty said very much." Liu Ye echoed and said, "For more than a year of war, Jingzhou and Yuzhou were the most damaged farming, but Yangzhou was safe and sound. Even the newspaper boys selling newspapers and boat wives who were rocking the boat traveled through commoners. If Sun Ce transferred Yangzhou's wealth to make up for Jingyu, Yangzhou would not want to. If Yangzhou's wealth to make up for Jingyu, Jingyu would be disappointed. If this was not adjusted, Jingyu would be able to reconcile. It is very clear that the monarch could be able to make up for it. If Your Majesty proposed to stop the war, Jingyu would definitely not be able to ask for it. If Sun Ce accepted it, Jingyu would be grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. If Sun Ce did not accept it, Jingyu would inevitably be disconnected. Whether it was successful or not, there would be no advantages or disadvantages for Your Majesty, and these crimes that would be added would naturally be impossible to talk about."
The emperor pondered for a long time. "If we stop the war, what conditions should we make and what concessions should we make? Will we raise a tiger and miss the last chance?"
