The two brothers did not need to elaborate on the excitement of the scene, and the two of them easily calmed down, and then abandoned their horses and went into the carriage to talk.

"Zhongde, I've heard everything you did in Beijing." Zhu Zhanji excitedly shook his arm with Wang Xian and said: "It's really embarrassing for you!" ”

"Actually, most of the time, Ji Gang came at me." Wang Xian twitched, but didn't twitch his arm, so he had to let him hold it, and said helplessly: "I can only carry it." ”

"Then you are also sheltering my father and son, two brothers in one life, I won't say anything more, in short, we will be brothers for the rest of our lives." Zhu Zhanji said emotionally.

"Hehe, Your Highness......" Wang Xianzhen didn't know how to answer, and coughed dryly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are very good, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it." ”

"Well, that's great." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, because he grew up with the emperor since he was a child, his relationship with his parents was not as deep as his relationship with his grandfather, but last year's incident made him deeply understand that he and his father are a community of destiny, so he was very happy to hear that his father was very good. After a pause, he whispered again, "Silver Bell...... Are you okay? ”

"Okay, it's good...... Wang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but said a little embarrassed: "It's just a little too good......

"How?" Zhu Zhanji guessed at once: "Could it be that Yu Qian is entangled again?" ”

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded with some difficulty.

"Didn't he get into the sergeant? Why do you still have a face wrapped around the silver bell? Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but sneer.

"Is this ......" Wang Xian scratched his head and said, "Who can say for sure this kind of thing?" ”

Wang Xianxin said that I have said this to this point, His Royal Highness Taisun should also retreat in the face of difficulties, right? Who knew that Zhu Zhanji actually said reasonably: "That's right, it's all because I have been away from Beijing for too long, so that the person surnamed Yu took advantage of it." As he spoke, he took Wang Xian's hand and pleaded: "Brother, you have to think about it quickly, help me settle this matter, and I will go back to Beijing quickly!" ”

"What am I here for?" Wang Xian shook off his hand and said, "Of course, it's for you to solve the problem." ”

"Do you really have a solution?" Zhu Zhanji put the next matter behind him, looked at Wang Xian excitedly, and said: "Tell me quickly, you don't know what to do, I'm really worried about it for a while......" It seems that in the heart of His Royal Highness Taisun, the personal relationship of children is important, but it is more important to get down to business......

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly." Wang Xian told Zhu Zhanji what he discussed with Yan Qing in the capital, plus the inspiration of Zhou Zhixian County.

Zhu Zhanji was dumbfounded when he heard this, and it took a long time to pat Wang Xian's thigh and say, "There is really no way you can't think of it!" The day of returning to Beijing is finally expected! ”

Of course, Wang Xian didn't say that this was actually collective wisdom, but pretended to be a little forced: "Actually, it's not so optimistic, there are still some things that are not easy to do, such as those White Lotus Sect leaders are already wary of us, how can we make them warm up again?" What's more troublesome is the resettlement of the displaced people, my method of Shangtun is good, but in order to ensure the construction of Beijing, the emperor has suspended the opening of Shanxi Kaizhong, if His Royal Highness can not let the emperor reopen Shanxi Kaizhong, then this method can be feasible. ”

"Ha Luha, it's really a hero who sees the same thing." Zhu Zhanji smiled, took out a court note from his sleeve and said: "Look, this is what I invited last month, when you were busy with the fraud case in the science field, so I didn't tell you, I didn't expect the imperial grandfather to approve it so quickly." ”

"Oh?" Wang Xian took it and took a look, and sure enough, the household department agreed to reopen in Shanxi, allowing merchants to transport grain to Datong in exchange for salt, and he took a long sigh of relief and said: "This is really good, it seems that I am worried in vain, it turns out that His Royal Highness has already planned." ”

"What's the matter...... Zhu Zhanji smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: "I'm a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse, and I was entangled by those Jin merchants, so I got on this ......."

"It can be seen that if the heavens want His Highness to succeed, he can unintentionally insert willows." Wang Xian is in a good mood, and it is rare to pat Zhu Zhanji's ass.

"There's no way, Jixing is shining." Zhu Zhanji also laughed happily: "You are my lucky star!" ”。

The so-called opening of the law is an important national policy of the Ming Dynasty. In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were frequent wars in the north, and millions of troops were hoarded on the line of Shanxi, Shanxi, Jin, Hebei, Jiliao, in order to resist the Mongolian cavalry that was still quite strong. So many soldiers and horses eat horses and chew horses, and spend a lot of money. However, after decades of war, the north simply cannot supply so many troops. The people of the southern provinces could only transport grain to the northern frontier, but the efficiency of the government's transportation was extremely low, and the loss of grain and grass for the people even reached two or three stones, which not only made the people miserable, but also the imperial court could not sustain. In this context, even Emperor Taizu, who disliked merchants very much, could only agree to the request of the officials and adopt the method of opening up the middle to solve the huge and arduous work of grain and grass transshipment.

The so-called Kaizhong Law is based on the monopoly right of salt in the hands of the imperial court, stipulating that as long as merchants transport grain to the designated warehouse in the border area, they can exchange it for a corresponding amount of 'warehouse money', and then exchange the salt monopoly license with the salt transportation department in charge of salt affairs with the 'salt quotation', and then use the 'salt introduction' to the designated salt factory to branch salt, and then sell it to the designated monopoly area after the 'salt introduction'. In this way, the imperial court ceded part of the monopoly power of salt and handed over the costly and boiling grain transportation errand to the merchants, while the imperial court could just wait for the grain to be transported to the border gates. Through large-scale transportation cooperation and stricter and meticulous management, the efficiency of transportation is much higher than that of the government, and the loss is much lower than that of the government, so it is also profitable.

So in June of the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang approved the trial implementation of this law in Shanxi, and the result was a great success, and gradually implemented it to the border provinces, and the varieties of Kaizhong also developed from a single grain to more than a dozen varieties such as iron salt, gold salt, silver salt, copper salt, cotton cloth salt, etc., which greatly promoted the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, and also made Shanxi businessmen leap up to dominate the business community and become famous Jin merchants! The opening of the Chinese law has also become the country's financial law and fixed.

However, in the Yongle Dynasty, because the state overdrafted the people's resources too much, they could only concentrate on doing big things, so they suspended the opening of Shanxi and other places to specifically supply the construction of Beijing City. The impact on Shanxi merchants and the people of Shanxi is too great, and in recent years, Jin merchants have been running up and down, calling for Shanxi to reopen China. During this period, it was only opened intermittently a few times, but as soon as the construction of Beijing City was tightened, the emperor cut off supplies to Shanxi, making the merchants and the people miserable.

Speaking of this civil unrest in Shanxi, the emperor really contributed a lot......

When the Jin merchants were calling the heavens to be unhealthy, Zhu Zhanji came, could they not offer him as an ancestor? tried every means and persevered, even a stone covered him with heat, and sure enough, His Royal Highness Taisun wrote a letter to intercede for them, and His Royal Highness Taisun really had a lot of face, and he really asked for his will!

Coincidentally, Wang Xian and Yan Qing came up with it, and it was also opened. However, it is not an opening in the traditional sense, but an innovative opening method. The traditional method of opening China is that merchants directly transport grain from the mainland to the border areas in exchange for warehouse money, and then return to the mainland in exchange for salt. The reason why businessmen can replace the government to transport is not that businessmen have much ability, but in fact, in order to make money, they can endure the hardships that ordinary people can't bear, and make great efforts to improve efficiency and reduce losses. In fact, it is still laborious and huge.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Wang Xian came up with a way, in this case, why not let the merchants recruit the common people to directly cultivate the fields and produce food in the border areas? In this way, after the harvest, the warehouse will be exchanged for salt, won't it save the pain of fatigue and how much less loss? How much more money do you make? Why not?

Someone is about to ask, this method is not difficult to think of, for what Jin merchants can't think of? In fact, Jin Shang did not think of it, but he was not in a position to do so before. Because since the Song Dynasty in Shanxi, the original fertile forest soil has become loess continuously, and the land suitable for cultivation has been sharply reduced, or the people of Shanxi will not resolutely leave their hometown to do business. Therefore, it is not realistic to cultivate on the spot in Shanxi, because the merchants can only take the near and far and bring grain from the south.

But is there really no suitable area for growing grain near Shanxi? Apparently there is. Wang Xian immediately thought of the Hetao, there is a saying that 'the Yellow River is harmful, only rich one', the Hetao is surrounded by the Yellow River on the west, north and east. Yinshan lies in the north of the Yellow River, Helan Mountain towers in the west of the Yellow River, Luyashan barrier is in the east of the Yellow River, and is adjacent to the Northern Shaanxi Plateau in the south. The situation is dangerous. The Yellow River in the territory has a steady flow of water, fertile land on both sides, can be cultivated and pastured, known as the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the products are incomparably rich, and it is not a problem to cultivate rice and wheat.

In fact, not only in the north, but also because of the gift of the Yellow River, as long as the Yellow River water is diverted for irrigation, it can be turned into fertile land. These vast areas of potential arable land are located near Shanxi, or even within the borders, and the merchants will naturally not turn a blind eye.

However, it is also in vain to see it, because these virgin lands are outside the defense line of the Ming army, and the Hetao has been occupied by the Mongols, although it is an attached Mongol, but the wolf is a wolf, and always eats meat.

If there is no guarantee of safety, who will go to these places to reclaim the wasteland? So the merchants could only look at it and sigh.

But what businessmen can't do doesn't mean that Wang Xian can't do it, and maybe only he can do it in this world. Because he is the only one who can eat both...... Hetao has Baoyin, the White Lotus Sect has Xiao Lian, Datong has Zhang Hui, the King of Jin also has to sell him face, and Taisun himself is in charge, so this matter can only be done by Wang Xian!

"Your Highness just summons those Jin merchants," Wang Xian smiled confidently, "As long as they are not stupid, they will know that this is a godsend!" ”

"They're not stupid." Zhu Zhanji also said with a smile: "It takes the right time, the right place and the right people to achieve great things, and this time they are all together, that is, the sky wants to promote this!" ”

Wang Xianxin said, obviously I want to promote it, of course, I have to smile and nod and say: "What His Highness said is that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!" ”
