Chapter 64 Unexpected

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After arriving in Dangtu County, Zhao Hao realized that it was impossible to harvest silk directly from farmers.

    The raw silk in each village is in the hands of the silk society.

    During the spring famine, the head of the silk society lent money to farmers to raise silkworms and reel silk. After the cocoons were formed, the farmers repaid the money in raw silk, and the excess raw silk was sold to them.

    "Since the farmers have no silk in their hands, why are they still in such a hurry?" Yu Peng saw Zhao Hao's puzzled look and hurriedly asked on his behalf.

    Zhao Hao cast an approving look at him. He was indeed the son of Lao Jia Zhang, he was very clever.

    "The silk club and the villagers are one. If the silk club can't sell silk, it can't get the money back. How can we lend them money to spend the spring famine?" Tang Youde laughed and replied: "Speaking of which, it was the silk club's own fault.  . Above these silk societies, there is also a raw silk guild. In order to sell raw silk at a high price, the guild sets a minimum silk price every year. Below that price, one or two silks are not allowed to be pawned."

    Zhao Hao nodded. The villagers in the Ming Dynasty all started to play price alliances. No wonder the scholar-bureaucrats' notes gnashed their teeth and denounced that the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are cunning!

    It turns out that I hate not being able to take advantage.

    "This method has been tried many times in the past, but who would have thought that in recent years, the maritime ban has been strict, the silk market has been sluggish, and all the businesses in the city have laid off a large number of people and reduced production. But they country people are still planting and raising mulberries in the fields.  Silkworms. There is simply no need for so much silk on the market. Shangyuan and Jiangning, which are close to Nanjing, can still cut prices and ship goods in time. Although Dangtu is only 120 miles away from Nanjing, it is much more closed, and silk is sold  It¡¯s so expensive, who would sacrifice the distance to get silk here?¡±

    Zhao Hao said again that this problem will not be solved even after four hundred years

    "Every silk society now has a lot of backlog, but they cannot ignore the farmers who raise silkworms because of the backlog. This is because this fixed bond is the foundation for the survival of the silk society. Once they lose the supply of farmers, they will have nothing to do.  Silk can be harvested." Tang Youde said with deep understanding: "So when the year is bad, they even have to give money to win over the villagers. Seeing that the price of silk is low, new silk will be on the market two months later. By then, one day  On the one hand, the autumn silk they have not sold will depreciate in value; on the other hand, they have to find money to collect the spring silk from the villagers. How do you think the leaders of the society will be worried?"

    As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Hao proudly and said, "Master, now you understand why I chose to go far away instead of the near, right?"

    "The homework is well done." Zhao Hao praised, patted Tang Youde on the shoulder and said, "I feel relieved now."

    After saying that, he left Yu Peng behind and, accompanied by Gao Wu, walked towards the rapeseed fields all over the mountains and plains.

    "Where are you going, Master?" Tang Youde asked loudly behind him.

    "Let's play." Zhao Hao smiled without looking back: "How can you live up to such a beautiful scenery?"

    "You, youI, I" Tang Youde smiled bitterly for a long time, waved his hand in resignation and said: "Oh, I am just running errands for you."

    Having said that, he is actually more comfortable now that Zhao Hao is not here.

    After several contacts, Tang Youde not only failed to seduce this young man, but was actually eaten to death by him.  I don't know when it started. As long as Zhao Hao was by his side, Tang Youde felt as if he had returned to the time when he was an apprentice with fear.

    ??~~

    In that room, after Zhao Hao left the dock for a while, he magically pulled out a compass.

    Gao Wu¡¯s eyes widened immediately. This compass was bought by the young master when he was shopping a few days ago.  He originally thought that Zhao Hao was just having fun, but he didn't expect that the young master could actually read Feng Shui!

    How can Zhao Hao read Feng Shui?  He spent a lot of money to buy this Kanyu compass, just because he was worried about getting lost when he went to the countryside, so it could be used as a compass.

    After identifying the direction, Zhao Hao strode towards the northwest.

    Gao Wu hurriedly followed up, only to see that Zhao Hao was walking in a hurry and had no intention of enjoying the mountain scenery.

    The two of them walked forward for seven or eight miles in one breath, until a long mountain range lay in front of them, blocking their way.

    Zhao Hao then stood still and looked at the compass with excitement. The pointer on the compass suddenly started shaking randomly and could not calm down for a long time.

    Gao Wu looked at the mountain that looked like a tiger coming out of the mountain, and it seemed that the feng shui was good.  She thought to herself that it seemed that the young master had found a feng shui treasure. Could it be that he had found a ghost house for the old man?

    "It's just that this compass is too useless. I will ask my father to argue with the store later."

    After a long time, Zhao Hao let out a long sigh and threw the compass to Gao Wu, with a look of loss, completely different from just now.

    The largest open-pit iron mine in the south of the Yangtze River was right in front of him, but he couldn't bear it for the time being. Is there anything more cruel than this in the world?

      Originally, Fatty Tang said that the destination of this trip was Dangtu, and he was excited for a while, because the famous Ma'anshan Iron Mine is here.  But when he really came to Dangtu, he stood at the foot of the famous Nanshan Mountain and looked at the green mountains with no trace of mining.  He knew that at this time, no one knew that there was a huge amount of iron ore buried here.

    If others are already mining, he can still try to get a share of the pie.  But there is no iron ore that has been mined at all. He does not have the courage to eat this soup, let alone the ability to open iron ore privately, but it is regarded as treason!

    Zhao Hao silently made some calculations and figured out that even if his father became the Juren, there would still be no chance for him, so he had to turn around and leave.  It's really like coming here in good spirits and returning in disgrace.

    On the way back, he thought that since he was in Dangtu, he should pay homage to Li Bai.  But I finally found a village, and after asking the villagers, I found that Li Bai's tomb was still thirty miles away.

    "Sir, the old man said that he can take you there in an ox cart." Gao Wu pointed at the old man's thin ox in the distance and said in a low voice.

    "It won't be dark that day" Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes. Now that he is a decent man, how can he ride on a bullock cart bumping along the dusty village road?  How can a disgraced man meet Shixian when he arrives at Taibai's tomb?

    "Forget it, sooner or later we will be back!" Zhao Hao looked back at the green mountains in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Just wait, sooner or later you will be mine!"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ??~~

    The two of them returned the same way, and halfway there, they suddenly heard yelling and cursing by the river.

    Zhao Hao followed the sound and couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Someone was actually fighting

    I saw seven or eight villagers armed with shovels and hoes, besieging a lean man.  The man waved a pole, and with a clang, he was able to block all attacks from all directions.

    "This guy has good kung fu"

    Gao Wu hurriedly grabbed Zhao Hao, who was about to come over to watch the fun. Just as he was about to take him away from the place of right and wrong, he was stunned.  After a while, Fang said strangely:

    "This person's moves look very familiar, just like my Qi Jiajun's martial arts"

    "Then why are you still standing there? Come on!" Zhao Hao became more energetic after hearing this and encouraged Gao Wu vigorously.

    Gao Wu looked at Zhao Hao awkwardly, obviously worried about his safety.

    "I'll hide behind the tree." Zhao Hao pushed him toward the river beach and said, "After you save the people, we'll run back. What's there to be afraid of when we get to the dock?"

    "Okay!" Gao Wu finally put aside his worries, took off his jacket, wrapped his right hand with the clothes, and strode towards the river beach.
