Chapter 319: Goat Clearing
"Chudi has indeed not been peaceful in recent years, and businesses have become the target of many people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Although it is far away, it should be much more stable than other places. With the connections and family capital of the high boss, why not settle down in Lingnan? Liu Jixing seemed to be thinking, looking at Gao Ke and feeling slightly puzzled.
Because when Liu Jixing had not yet ascended the throne, he considered a plan to increase the number of people. Therefore, when the cheap Lao Tzu Liu Sheng is still there, the future will be laid out at the beginning. In fact, it proved that the original decision was correct, because many actions made Liu Jixing one step faster than others.
Just like one of the decisions, many people went to various places to collect displaced people into Han, and now it has greatly enriched the population of Lingnan. is a capable subordinate like Guo Jing, who thinks that they were all recruited by the homeless people at the beginning. A person like Gao Ke, who has been doing business in Xingwangfu all the year round, not only has a much stronger foundation and survival strength than ordinary people. Even he himself should be able to understand that today's Xingwang Mansion is much stronger than elsewhere.
What's more, although businessmen are not valued in this era, and even vaguely have the same identity as civilians, it is only limited to those small businessmen. There are thousands of business moves like Gao Ke, that is, they are much stronger than ordinary officials. Shang Jia runs around all the year round, so he will naturally enjoy it more than ordinary people, like he will definitely have concubines and children in Xingwangfu.
Even if he has a family and children in Chudi, it is not difficult to gradually migrate to Xingwangfu.
Since Liu Jixing came to power, he has greatly relaxed the preferential treatment for businessmen, and even did not hesitate to recruit businessmen from all over the world to come to Lingnan to drive the economy. Therefore, large-scale celebrations were held in the palace in the past, and Liu Jixing would also uncharacteristically invite businessmen who exceeded a certain amount in the Xingwang Mansion and the imperial court.
Gao Ke is clearly one of the people who have benefited, because tea is a specialty of Chudi, and it is also one of the main sources of income for Chudi to seek external income. Although there is tea in Lingnan since ancient times, it is far inferior to the quality of Chudi tea. Gao Ke is to transport the tea from Chu to Lingnan, and then pull the sea salt from Lingnan back to Chu. The transportation and resale of such materials, without the support of the imperial court, can only be regarded as the resale of illicit salt.
And people like Gao Ke will naturally try their best to get involved with the two courts. With a very low purchase price, he bought tea in Chudi, and then traveled thousands of miles to Lingnan. Of course, Liu Jixing is interested in who Gao Ke is with to acquire Haiyan. Because Haiyan is also a strategic material in Lingnan, although the imperial court will wholesale in limited quantities, Liu Jixing has basically understood the merchants who got Haiyan.
Today, Chudi's tea can not only be sold in Lingnan, but also sold overseas through Liu Jixing's cheap brother-in-law, Abbas, a big merchant in the imperial court. got the acquisition of the imperial court and the wholesale of the station, so Gaoke's profit can naturally be imagined.
Of course, in addition to the huge profits of sea salt, Gao Ke can buy seafood at very low prices from Lingnan, as well as various dried fruits, and bring them to Chudi for sale.
This kind of thing where both sides can get huge profits, where can Gao Ke not make a fortune. Nowadays, Liu Jixing in Lingnan has increased the management of coastal sea farms, especially Xiangshan Camp under the jurisdiction of Bao'an County, which has gradually become the largest sea salt field in Lingnan. However, Liu Jixing is extremely strict with the sea salt under his name, because it is not only one of the main sources of the Lingnan treasury, but also one of the power materials that ordinary people can create the greatest value.
For more than ten years, with the disintegration of Ma Chu, Chu has been in constant turmoil and disputes.
Even if the Gao family has some foundation in Chudi, they are afraid that life will not be too comfortable. Based on Liu Jixing's feelings when he passed by Chudi at these times and entered Lingnan. I'm afraid that compared with Shaozhou, I'm afraid that the vicinity of Tanzhou is much worse in terms of stability.
With Gauck's cleverness, it is impossible not to think of this.
But it is completely different here in Lingnan, because although the Liu Dynasty has some bad habits, at least for thirty or forty years, the common people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although Liu Jixing can't be reversed at once, Gaozu Liu Yan and cheap Laozi Liu Sheng bring everyone a strong feeling. Even in order to deter Xiaoxiao, Liu Jixing also killed a few handfuls. But in the end, Liu Jixing gave a few more pieces of candy, so the people gradually knew about his little emperor.
In the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, today's Chu land is a desolate land. Although it was once the land of fish and rice, the destruction of the descendants of the Ma family also completely destroyed the prosperity of Chu. Lingnan is even more remote and barbaric, but it is because of this misunderstanding that Lingnan has developed rapidly in recent decades. Many people don't know why, but people like Gauck should know the difference!
What's more, Liu Jixing's proudest thing is that he has planned and built many high-end residential areas near Xingwangfu. They are all sold at extremely high prices, which can be said to be a lot of money. However, this strategy implemented by Liu Jixing has won the support of wealthy businessmen everywhere. Because the prosperity of Xingwangfu is visible, owning a manor near Xingwangfu is the dream of many wealthy people.
"How can a certain family not want to?" At this time, Gao Ke smiled bitterly and said lightly: "There is a cousin in a certain family in Jinling, but I have gotten some news in the past two years. said that Guo Rong, the current co-owner of the Central Plains, was originally a young and promising figure. Ambitious, single-mindedly thinking about going south and north to unify the Central Plains. In the past two years, the Tang Kingdom has been beaten to the point that even the honorific number has gone, this is still second, it is said that it will go south to recover Chu in the near future, but I am afraid that Lingnan will not be spared by then! ā
Liu Jixing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, this was the first time he heard others talk about this kind of prophecy since he came here, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a while. If you want to say that the Southern Tang Dynasty was beaten by Hou Zhou to remove the honorific title, this is the case in history. However, the Later Zhou conquest of Chudi and Lingnan was after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne. At this time, some people thought about this problem, and it seems that many people in this world have seen the problem and the current situation clearly.
"Brother Gao's words are true?" It was Chen Geng who spoke this time, and he rarely spoke all the way. After all, in front of Ouyang Tong, he must maintain a moderate low profile, and in front of Liu Jixing, because of Xia Qinghou, it is impossible to be too public. When he heard Gauck say this, the man, who was not shocked on the surface, became a little solemn for the first time.
The Chen family has not taken action in these years, and that is because of the disintegration of the Chudima family, which led to the merger of the Chen family into Lingnan. As a big family that has just entered Lingnan, although the Ma family has no talents since Ma Yin, at least the Chen family has a foundation in Chu for decades. What's more, after hundreds of years of reproduction, the talents in the family can be said to be abundant, and they naturally have their own judgments.
Although the Lingnan Liu family has made achievements since Gaozu, but the father and son have been taught to Liu Sheng, and it has been rumored that the court cannot tolerate it. It is even said that the Liu family's father and son are cruel and selfish, which makes everyone even more uneasy since the Chen family entered Lingnan. In addition, when he was recruiting talents in the imperial court, he did not recruit the direct children of the Chen family, which made the Chen family even more suspicious.
So when I heard that the Central Plains was finally going to enter Lingnan, Chen Geng, as the head of the Chen family, naturally had a lot of worries in his heart. War means life and death, and war means soldiers. Although there are many children of the Chen family, when they really go to the imperial court to recruit men, that is, no matter how much status and money the Chen family has, it is inevitable that there will be many children who are difficult to avoid at that time.
"It's true! A certain cousin and the Tang general are on good terms, but when they heard that the old man of the Tang Kingdom was relict in the Tang Kingdom, they all had this worry in private. It is said that the lord spends all day drinking like this, just like the lord of the Tang Kingdom, he only hopes that he will die drunk in that gentle country! Gao Ke sighed slightly and said: "The national strength of the Tang State is obvious to everyone, that is where Chu Di was occupied at the beginning, and even they are vulnerable, so how is Chu Di and Lingnan good?" ā
Liu Jixing didn't say anything, because what Gao Ke said was a superficial fact, and when he was about to turn his head and talk to Ouyang Tong, he suddenly heard Ouyang Tong sigh slightly, and then saw him chatting softly about the side of the car curtain.
On the edge of the woods, the man who was still ashamed at the beginning was knocked to the ground by the bamboo sheath sword of the Yuan family! Yuan's sword was not unsheathed, but it seemed to be a completely different person. Standing there doesn't give you time, Kanq
