Chapter 41 Talents are Rare

In the next few days, Yang Feng also fell into a busy situation, while urging the military households to repair the canal, he led some people to repair the roads of the Qianhu Institute, and he even asked people to repair a road hundreds of meters long outside the Qianhu Institute, and also built a house, when the people below asked, Yang Feng's answer surprised them.

"Of course, it is used as a shop, and if there are merchants stationed in the future, we must have a place for them to settle in."

After listening to Yang Feng's answer, many people felt dumbfounded, with the unprofitable nature of the businessman, would they be stationed in the poor Qianhu House?

No matter how incomprehensible the military households were, at Yang Feng's insistence, the military households still began to level the road, and Li Ge also officially took up the housekeeping work of the Thousand Households after gaining Yang Feng's trust, and after recruiting several more account offices, the Finance Department, a department that had never appeared in Daming, was so freshly baked.

During this time, Yang Feng was not idle, constantly going back and forth between Qianhusuo and Nanjing City to find business opportunities. Now he is not the kind of time when one person eats the whole family and is not hungry, thousands of households eat and drink Lazar can all be pressed on him, and he found that because he continued to buy antiques during this time, the price of antiques has begun to rise, and Shi Zhongyi also warned him that the people of Jubaozhai have noticed that he has purchased a large number of antiques, and the rapid rise in the price of antiques during this period of time is obviously the figure of Jubaozhai, so Yang Feng has to seek another way to make money.

But not to mention, with Yang Feng's efforts, he found another way to make money, that is, jade.

As early as the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was Yunnan Tengchong into the jadeite distribution center Menggong business, to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan Tengchong's jade industry has been a certain scale, at that time the Ming Dynasty has begun to play jadeite, but the status of jadeite in the Ming Dynasty is far from being as high as in later generations, the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty just regarded jadeite as a kind of stone.

Ji Yun (Ji Xiaolan) of another time and space once had such a passage in volume 16 of "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang": "Yunnan jade jade was not regarded as jade at that time, but it was like a dry yellow field in Lantian, and a strong name was jade ear." Now I think it's a treasure, and the price is far higher than the real jade. …… Fifty or sixty years apart, prices are different, and hundreds of years apart. ”

It can be seen from this sentence that when jadeite first entered China, the Han people just regarded it as a more beautiful stone, until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, under the promotion of the Manchus, the Chinese began to list jadeite as a kind of jade, and its price began to rise, and in the 21st century, with the depletion of jadeite resources, the price of jadeite has reached a new peak. And Yang Feng saw the opportunity to make a fortune from here, and he immediately found Li Ge.

"Li Yanmu, I need a reliable person to do things for me, because I have to go back and forth to Tengchong, Yunnan and Myanmar, so this person must be smart and reliable, and his mind is relatively smart!" In the thousand-household house, Yang Feng said to Li Ge, who had just arrived.

"Are you going to Tengchong, Yunnan, or even Myanmar?" Li Ge asked in surprise, "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to buy those jade stones?" ”

"It's Emerald!" Yang Feng nodded, but secretly thought in his heart, if Li Ge knew how high the price of jadeite would be in hundreds of years, he would not have called jadeite a stone.

Li Ge asked puzzledly: "My lord, if the student remembers correctly, the Donglai Silver Building, where the stone shopkeeper is located, has people traveling back and forth to Yunnan and other places every month, and the relationship between you and the Donglai Silver Building is quite harmonious, why don't you entrust the Donglai Silver Building to purchase?" ”

"Li Yanmu, you have to remember." Yang Feng solemnly admonished: "We can't put all our eggs in one basket. ”

"You can't put all your eggs in one basket." Li Ge chewed this sentence slowly in his mouth, and praised it for a long time: "Adults are really not annoyed by their opinions, and they can take precautions at this time, and students are indeed far behind." In this case, the student has the courage to recommend you a person, he is a classmate of the student, named Chen Tianzi Siyuan, who has repeatedly fallen behind like the student back then, and then gave up the idea of continuing to rely on others. However, the student came to Qianhu as an official, and he worked as a staff member in the Wei Mansion in Nanjing. Although he is alert and intelligent, he is not reused because he only shows his talent and fame, and if the adult does not abandon the student, he is willing to go to the city to persuade him to defect to the adult. ”

"The Duke of Wei's Mansion?"

Yang Feng looked at Li Ge and was silent, while Li Ge looked at Yang Feng with some concern.

Although Yang Feng's time in Qianhu was still short, he did not hide the grievances between himself and the Wei Mansion from the people around him, and Li Ge naturally knew that Yang Feng had a holiday with the Wei Mansion, but he still recommended this person to Yang Feng. In Yang Feng's opinion, Li Ge either has bad intentions, or he has a good relationship with this friend and respects him very much, otherwise he would not risk angering Yang Feng to recommend this person, but in Yang Feng's opinion, the latter is the most likely.

Seeing Yang Feng silent, Li Ge's heart was also very nervous, after all, Yang Feng did not hide the grievances with the Wei State Mansion from them, and now he recommended to him the staff of the Wei State Mansion to do things for him, and ordinary people are afraid that the first reaction when they hear this news is that they are furious, and where will they agree.

As time passed, Li Ge's heart was also up and down. After a while, Yang Feng suddenly laughed: "Since Li Yanmu admires this person so much, then what's the matter if the official accepts him, I just hope that this person will not disappoint the official." ”

Hearing Yang Feng's promise, Li Ge was overjoyed in his heart, and nodded again and again: "Don't worry, my lord, Siyuan is a shrewd and capable person, and he will definitely not let my adult down!" ”

Li Ge's movements were still very fast, and as soon as Yang Feng finished breakfast the next morning, Li Ge took Chen Tian to the Qianhu Mansion to ask for a meeting.

Yang Feng met Chen Tian in the living room, and saw that Chen Tian was of medium height, with an ordinary appearance and bright eyes. Yang Feng nodded secretly and stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to sit down.

After they sat down, Yang Feng said very directly: "Chen Gongzi, presumably Li Yimu has already told you everything you are going to do. I might as well tell you the truth, this matter is very hard, and there will even be a lot of risk on the road, if you don't want to go, it's still too late. ”

Chen Tian said very calmly: "Lord Yang, Brother Zijie (Li Ge) has already told the students everything, and the students have also thought about it, since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger, if you don't even dare to do this little thing, how can the students be worthy of the adult's weight!" ”

"Hahaha......"

Yang Feng laughed.

"Well said, in that case, this matter will be handed over to you to do!"
