Chapter 315 News from Ye City

Chapter 316 News from Ye City

Everyone looked at Cao Tai, this is actually not a big deal, it is normal for merchants to lower prices in advance.

"But the prices of other materials are increasing, which is abnormal." Cao Tai continued: "Especially linen and fur, these things are rising rapidly."

"Fur is relatively rare, so it's hard to say how the price will fluctuate, but the linen is also on the market in autumn, and the price has also started to rise? When did it start?" Cao Chong asked.

"Just these two days, otherwise I would have reported it to you long ago, and the school affairs office is making statistics now?"

"It seems that I guessed it right! What can you do?" Cao Chong looked at everyone.

"All kinds of materials are not as urgent as food. Except for Xinmin, the other people can produce most of them themselves, and they don't need much. Since the young master has reserves in his hands, it shouldn't cause too much trouble." Man Pang said first.

"It is true under normal circumstances. As long as I guarantee the supply of the new residents, they will at most cheat the people by raising the prices and make the people suffer a little. It will not cause serious consequences. It seems that they want to establish a relationship between the old and new residents of Luoyang. Create conflicts."

"You divide the Luoyang policy and the people into two, favoring one and favoring the other. This is a ready-made contradiction. Someone must take the opportunity to trouble you!" Wen Jiao said without opening her mouth.

Everyone praised Wenjiao's words in their hearts. Everyone had long been dissatisfied with Cao Chong's schizophrenic approach, but Cao Chong insisted on going his own way and refused to let others persuade him.

"If you can count the rest of the household registrations in Luoyang like Xinmin, I won't have two systems in one county immediately, so don't worry about it, it won't change in a short time." Cao Chong said angrily.

"It's not impossible, as long as the young master is willing." Pang Tong said.

"Cut! What are you reluctant to part with, tell me how to do it?"

"All kinds of materials are no more than food, and the demand is not urgent, and it is still early in winter. It is not a good idea for them to hoard, it is purely harmful to others, and these materials come from a wide range of sources, which are beyond their control."

"Are you going to ask me to make a lot of purchases in various counties and counties, and then transport them back to let the original residents exchange with me like the new people?" Cao Chong felt a little troublesome.

There are too many and complicated things, and purchasing, transportation, and inventory are all troublesome. The school office has been busy for half a year to prepare the inventory for Xinmin, but it is only the main materials.

"That's so troublesome, give them an opportunity. These substances are numerous and complex, and most of them can be substituted for each other. How can it be so easy to control? The young master only needs to announce the reduction of Luoyang's tax rate, and the rest will be left to the merchants." Pang Tong said.

No wonder you want me to be willing, do you know how much I spent to rebuild Luoyang?But it seems that I don't care about smashing more!
The main body of the Luoyang New Deal is Xinmin, and the core is schools and literacy classes. As long as these are not taken into account, everything else is easy to talk about.

"Then prepare according to what you said. Cao Tai will continue to pay attention to the market price, and start implementing it after confirming that someone is making trouble. What is a tax rate reduction? Pick out a list of necessary supplies for the winter, and directly exempt it from commercial tax!"

Anyway, Luoyang is still relatively sluggish now, so Cao Chong can afford to lose out on this little money!
"By the way, isn't the price of grain falling? Sinong Temple will continue to buy grain without stopping. I want as much as I have? Play this for me? They are still a little tender!"

"It hasn't stopped all the time. We are building a granary in the old city. I also know that the price of food has dropped, but I thought it was a normal drop after the autumn harvest!" Liu Jing said with a smile.

Cao Chong is really rich and powerful now, how can the supply of salt in the three states of the Central Plains be described as daily progress?Lao Cao can't figure out how much Cao Chong has earned from table salt now, because he doesn't know how low Cao Chong's salt production cost is.

In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't know that Cao Chong is rich and powerful, but no one knows why Cao Chong keeps spending money out of his own pocket for Luoyang, and how much is it?
When other people become officials, they just make money for themselves. Cao Chong is doing the opposite. He keeps throwing money in, but he still throws a lot of money!

Not to mention that those who opposed him didn't understand, even Luoyang's subordinates were a little confused. They only thought that Cao Chong's plan was big, but they were also confused about what the plan was.

After arranging many things in Luoyang, everyone adjourned, and Cao Chong leaned on a chair to take a rest.

"Why, is there something else?" Cao Chong saw that Zhou Buyi was still there.

"Young master, what do you think of the prime minister's trip to the north?"

Cao Chong was taken aback, and asked back, "Why, what do you think?"

"The Prime Minister has been staying in Xudu this year, which is rare..." Zhou Buyi hesitated.

"Old Cao has been working hard this year to rectify internal forces and ease internal conflicts. What are you embarrassed to say? I'm afraid the effect is not good?" Cao Chong asked with a smile.

Zhou Buyi nodded with a strange face: "Xu Du is very strange this year, officials are frequently transferred, as far as I know, the prime minister seems to have failed to achieve his goal."

"The situation in the world has changed. Our third brother and Lao Cao discussed this issue last winter. It's normal for some people to think too much. It's no big deal. Some poisonous snakes hiding in the gutter want to come out to tell the truth, and Lao Cao can handle it!" Cao Chong didn't care road.

If Cao Chong's guess is correct, Lao Cao has nothing to do with Xu this time, and is planning to start a new stove in Yecheng. In the future, the political center of the north will gradually shift to Yecheng. This is Lao Cao's first attempt.

In history, after the old Cao became the Duke and established the Wei State, Yecheng was the base camp of Cao Wei, and Xu Du was left to Han Xiandi and a group of civil servants to play there by himself.

Originally, Cao Chong wanted to think about the capital of Wei State, but now it seems that the time cannot catch up. It seems that the old Cao Fenggong and the founding of the country will be two years later. At that time, Luoyang and his own strength may not be enough!

"Pay more attention to Ye City in the future, I guess Lao Cao will stay there often in the future!" Cao Chong reminded Zhou Buyi.

Zhou Buyi looked at Cao Chong and nodded solemnly!
"There are still some things..."

"What's wrong with you? Speak more simply?" Cao Chong glanced at Zhou Buyi.

"The eldest son has been in Yecheng for the past two years, and now he is very famous in Hebei, and he has made a lot of famous families..."

"It can't be helped. He is much older than me, and he is the eldest son. I am too young. I only came to Luoyang last year, and the gentry here still don't welcome me!"

"But it doesn't matter. It's still early. Young master, my achievements will only be realized after the prosperity of Luoyang. I'm only 15 years old this year, so I definitely can't compete with him." Cao Chong said indifferently.

"However, I heard recently that someone suggested to the prime minister: make the eldest son a general with five senses, set up subordinate officials, and be the prime minister's deputy..." Zhou Buyi said in a low voice.

"Oh, so urgent? What does Lao Cao have to say?" Cao Chong's interest was aroused by these words.
