Chapter 1095: A Visitor from the Western Regions
Outside the city of Qinzhou, Yang Zhi planned two residential areas in the east and west, the east is where the rich people lived, and now it is completely the appearance of the city, all of which are as spacious as the streets in the city, separating the courtyards into neat areas, and the facades along the streets have been bought by a large number of merchants such as the north and south, and most of them have been opened. Thousands of resettled displaced people and residents of the original area are mainly concentrated here, and all the new household registrations opened by the government.
The western area is a model of the Yongchang, mainly as a distribution center for commodity exchange, and a large area is set aside as a temporary pasture, and hundreds of temporary thatched huts can be used as post houses and inns, all with their own warehouses, which are preparing for the trade of tea and horses, and now it is mainly the merchants of the Western Regions who live here. Fan Shiyan accompanied Yang Zhi to visit the Western District and said: "My lord, when Qinzhou was at its most prosperous, about 100,000 soldiers and civilians gathered, if only all the Longyou battalion stayed here." ”
Most of the people walking in the western district are Fan, dressed in different ways, and even the materials of the clothing are varied, and they are all in a hurry. Yang Zhi smiled: "Then Li Jinyi is going to quarrel with me." ”
Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, guessed that Yang Zhi was going to make a big move, and sent Li Jinyi here, one was to study and study, and there was no lack of surveillance, Yang Zhi in order to avoid embarrassment on both sides, it happened that Longzhou lacked Zhizhou, so he sent Li Jinyi to Longzhou, four of the eight battalions of Longyou were in Longzhou, and four were in Qinzhou. Fan Shiyan's cheeks twitched a few times and said: "My lord, the Jin army is coming, because the Dingbei Army sent troops to Puzhou, although there were cavalry into Longzhou to harass, but they did not break through any city in Longzhou, and Qinzhou is a place of vicious warfare, which can be said to be completely destroyed, so Xie Liang and Xi Gong did not think about rebuilding at all, but let the population flow to other places. ”
"We are not them. Yang Zhi said resolutely: "It is precisely because of the devastation of the war that the economy needs to be restored, and I have opened the workshops, first, to develop the economy, and secondly, the workers who depend on these workshops will not be in a hurry to compete with the original residents for pastures and fields." To tell you the news, soap and soap have been mass-produced, and the north-south line has been sold to Taiyuan, Jincheng, Puzhou and other cities. ”
In fact, it took Yang Zhi a long time to master the skills of soap making, and then wasted a lot of thought for the raw materials, and this time when he arrived in Qinzhou, Yang Zhi thought that there was a foundation for large-scale production. One is that the nomadic tribes near Qinzhou mainly eat meat, and the fat and oil of cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the other is that the land in Qinzhou is not as fertile as Jianghuai, and it is a common thing to burn grass and fertilize the fields, so that the production of wood ash is well disguised.
The most important thing is that Wuyuan County in Western Xia, which is not too far away, and Puzhou, which is controlled by the Dingbei Army, have a certain amount of trona, and there is hope for raw materials in the future. Wuyuan County of Western Xia is the Yanzhou of the original Great Song Dynasty, the Wuyuan area of the Han Dynasty, and the salt fields such as Wuchi and Baichi are located in the Western Xia.
Fortunately, Puzhou and Jiezhou have always been within Yang Zhi's controllable range, and Lu Tianshan has never moved his position as the salt supervisor of the Jiezhou Salt Relief Division, and that kind of trona seems useless, but Lu Tianshan still continues to sell to Nanbeixing at the price offered by Yang Zhi, and now the inventory of Nanbeixing can support half a year's production.
When the soap and soap samples came out, Yang Zhi gave Fan Shiyan two pieces, Fan Shiyan tried the effect and the effect was similar to the imported products over there, and learned that it would be mass-produced in less than ten days, Fan Shiyan was surprised, and immediately asked: "Can you assign the workshop to the tea and horse division?"
Yang Zhi shook his head with a smile and said: "You can't resist the pressure from above, this time I kept the workshop in my own hands, specifically to maintain the supply of materials in Qinzhou, I decided that outside Qinzhou, in addition to the number of tribute, it can only be sold in the north and south; ”
Fan Shiyan immediately understood that Yang Zhi's approach could bring the maximum amount of food to Qinzhou, but it would also offend countless magnates and merchants, and it was even possible to include the Yunwang in Taiyuan and the clan in Runzhou, and he, as Yang Zhi said, could not withstand the increasing pressure.
The Uighur merchant Fu Cheng and Huangfu Duan walked side by side, and Huangfu Duan was sent by Yang Zhi to serve as Fan Shiyan's deputy to assist Fan Shiyan in purchasing horses. Fu Cheng saw Yang Zhishi and said, "My lord, Mobi brought someone yesterday and wanted to see you, I don't know if it's inconvenient for adults?"
"It's convenient, just go to the Tea Horse Division. "Yang Zhi now has enough confidence, Mobi Nan is a master of the Uighurs, and the person who can accompany Mobi Nan must be either rich or expensive, and when he comes to see him at this time, it is nothing more than talking about business or war; Fu Cheng is overjoyed, he originally asked the emperor to help, and he also thought that he would pluck the goose like when he was in Bianliang, and it was a big deal to spend a sum of money to make Yang Zhi agree, as long as Yang Zhi and Mobi Nan brought the nobles happy, how much money Fu Cheng could earn back in the later business.
Tea Horse Division is the only two-story tiled courtyard in the West District, symbolizing the unique power of Tea Horse Division, other people have this financial resources, Fan Shiyan will not agree; Yang Zhiyi walked over, the door of Tea Horse Division has spontaneously formed a small street, from the sale of department stores to jewelry stores, there are two small wine shops, people shout horses, but it is also lively.
Yang Zhi didn't drink a few sips of tea, Fu Cheng and Mobi Nan accompanied an old man to walk in unhurriedly, the old man was not tall, very thin, a pair of eyes released a different light, and saw Yang Zhi looked at it for a while before bowing and saluting: "Gaochang envoy Bi Fakang has seen the envoy of caressing." ”
"Gao Chang. Yang Zhi repeated it in his heart and guessed a few points, and asked Bi Fakang to sit down without courtesy and asked, "But Yelu Dashi has conquered the Western Regions?"
Bi Fakang and Mobi Nan were both taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at each other; Yelu Dashi had indeed sent troops to the Western Regions, and the current troops were in the Eastern Karakhanate Kingdom; Mobi Nan and Mo Bi Nan had only arrived last night, and they didn't tell anyone about it along the way, and the people in front of them were really so powerful? Fan Shiyan and Li Yanxian were surprised, but Bi Fakang had some hope, if Yang Zhizhen was so powerful, I am afraid that he would have a satisfactory answer to the problem he had come to this time.
Mobi Nan asked, "How did the adults know?"
