- Miao Yan is not a stingy person.
Although the disciples of Legalism are strict, they will never be stingy in doing things.
Back then, Lord Shang, in order to show that he kept his word, asked someone to carry a piece of wood to another place very close to him, and directly offered him a thousand gold reward chips, which he actually gave in the end.
Of course, the idiom "a promise of a thousand gold" does not come from this.
It comes from the saying of Ji Bu, a famous general in the early Han Dynasty, "It is better to get a promise from Ji Bu than to get a hundred catties of gold."
anyway.
"You make a lot of money doing business, and your partners can make a little money, and that's fine too.
But why did Miao Yan find it so troublesome, and why did he leave this problem to Liu Mingqi to handle?
The smart men naturally figured it out in no time.
That¡¯s right.
The prices offered by these tung oil merchants are too high.
Last year, because Sichuan, Lianghu and Gyeonggi areas did not suffer from military disasters and achieved good harvests, the price of tung oil was not expensive, about 20 copper coins per pound of tung oil.
This year's crop was better, and the yield of tung oil was as high as that of rice. But before, it was sold for eighteen cents per catty. When Miao Yan wanted to buy thirty million catties, they raised the price to five cents. Ten coins per pound.
First of all, you need to understand that applying tung oil does not mean just applying it once.
It needs to be brushed repeatedly for a long time to finally achieve anti-corrosion, waterproof, frost-proof, etc. Otherwise, just brushing it once will do. You thought it was James Bond No, you thought it was a Nippon Paint advertisement?
??And it needs to be brushed when it is still being cut into the parts of each plate, and it must be brushed after it is pieced together and riveted into a ship.
Basically, more than half of the time in the shipbuilding process is spent on brushing tung oil.
So in this way, the consumption of tung oil is particularly large.
Thirty million kilograms of tung oil is not an exaggeration for a shipyard that dares to produce four-masted sailing ships.
¡°Besides, the water transport shipyard does not only produce this kind of four-masted sailing ship. They also repair thousands of water transport yamen ships every year, take them for maintenance and paint, and then prepare to start building more ship types.
??According to the usual price, even if it is twenty cents per catty, thirty million catties is only 600,000 taels of silver, so the price is not too expensive.
But compared with the current price of 1.5 million taels of silver, which is one hundred cents per catty, it has also increased too much.
Calculating this, the water transport shipyard needs to build twenty four-masted sailing ships a year, and the money earned can offset the cost of tung oil.
Of course, this calculation is not correct. We cannot put other uses on this four-masted sailing ship and let it bear it.
But in the final analysis, this price is too expensive, and the water transport shipyard simply cannot afford it.
It¡¯s not just water transport shipyards. According to news from other places, the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce has raised prices for all shipyards that need to use tung oil.
Miao Yan has never been a business talker.
After sending people over several times to negotiate to no avail, he lost patience and directly told Liu Mingqi about the matter and asked him for help.
¡¡
The young man is not a fool.
Anyone who has watched movies knows that people with official status go out to investigate cases, and people without official status go out to investigate cases. Those are two different things.
?? One is called learning from a teacher, and the other is called acting privately.
"It would be better if you were an official, but if you were a member of the clan Haha.
So he took Miao Yan¡¯s distress letter and went to the palace, specifically choosing to go when the emperor and the prime ministers were working in the imperial study.
As a result, the emperor did not see him.
An hour later, Zhao Shou gave him a warrant signed by Cao Yi, Prime Minister of Wenyuan Pavilion, agreeing that Liu Mingqi should go to discuss with people from the Xiushan Tung Oil Chamber of Commerce.
By the way, there was another person following.
??Looking from the third-grade embroidered clothes and the Wei School Lieutenant's seat.
Xi Guan is not a good person, he is the number one interrogation expert of the Xiuyi Guard.
¡°It is said that as long as he enters the interrogation room, the prisoner will either want to die early or live a life worse than death.
There is no secret that he can¡¯t find out.
Of course, the last time when he faced Yang Tao, the Minister of Household Affairs, he was tortured out by Liu Mingqi's "fatigue interrogation". Xi Kan, who further understood the wonders of fatigue interrogation, quite admired Liu Mingqi.
"Your Highness, the Emperor said that this time when you go to Xiushan Mansion, Captain Xi will follow you. ListenI am a group of brothers¡¯ families.
¡°It also includes the families of the Tubo people who died fighting for Liu Mingqi.
From then on, more than 3,000 Tibetan men, women and children will live in about a dozen villages outside the capital, and they will be assigned fields, houses, etc. - Xidan Dunzhu and others even went to see it in person when they had time. .
They cannot be allowed to live together in groups and can only live in scattered places. Otherwise, if they grow up a hundred years later and have not been assimilated, they will easily cause some trouble to Dakang.
Of course, each village is not too far away, they are all within a radius of fifty miles, which will also reduce their sense of strangeness and fear.
¡°It¡¯s just that Liu Mingqi obviously thinks too much.
Being able to live next to the prosperous capital of China is something they have never dreamed of. How can they still complain?
Because of this factor, Xidan Dunzhu and others became more and more loyal to Liu Mingqi.
¡°If Liu Mingqi hadn¡¯t stopped them, they would have stayed with Liu Mingqi even when he went to the toilet.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? saying something inappropriate.
¡°If Liu Mingqi led them to attack the palace now, they would follow suit without saying a word.
These Tubo people have not received much education, but they know who gave them their happy life now.
They had nothing but to devote everything to Liu Mingqi.
Liu Mingqi led a group of extremely loyal subordinates and disembarked at the port of Xiushan Mansion.
