Great Song

"The tea shop is a big business. After my father passed away, and there is no foundation in Western Korea, it is inevitable that someone will come up with ideas and find a better background." Sitting on the seat, Han Miao completely lost his gentle appearance just now, and his face darkened. down.

Han Miao can't be blamed for being angry. Xiao Nian was the shopkeeper of the tea shop that his father picked up with one hand. Now that his father has passed away, this villain is looking for another way out, which is really embarrassing.

Hearing this, Han Zhong became even more anxious: "The tea shop was built by the old owner, and Da Zong is too deceitful! Xiao Nian's departure, I don't know how many things will fall into their eyes, this is to break up our family the root of it?"

For West Korea, tea shops are indeed the key.This matter is complicated to say. In the Song Dynasty, tea was originally a big business that was not inferior to rice and salt. It has been government-run since the founding of the country.The tea produced by tea farmers can only be handed over to the government, and the officials will escort them to thirteen "discussion goods", and then the tea merchants will pay the money and silk at the place designated by the government, receive a certificate, and then pick up the tea from the distribution goods or the official tea farm.

Only in this way, merchants will spend a lot of money going back and forth, and non-giant merchants cannot operate tea business.Later, the method of "entering the middle" came into being.Whenever there was an emergency at the border, the imperial court would call on merchants of all sizes to transport grain, grass, and supplies to the border to enrich their armaments, and then send them "exchange notes" at a generous price, which could be exchanged for money, tea, salt, spices, etc. when they returned to the capital.In this way, even the common people can transport grain in exchange for "Jiaoyin", and then sell the "Jiaoyin" at hand in exchange for money and silk.Among them, tea is the most profitable, so tea Yin is also very popular among merchants of all sizes.

This sudden increase in "interference" has triggered speculation.There are "Jiayinpu" and "Duibianpu" in the capital. Some merchants don't even operate the tea business anymore. a sum.It's just that the good times don't last long, with frequent border wars, extremely high food prices in the northwest, and too many quotations issued by the court, there is simply not so much money or tea to exchange.As a result, the price of "Jiaoyin" plummeted, and the merchants and courts suffered great losses.

Thus, the reform of the tea method was born.The first emperor Renzong implemented the New Deal and came up with a "sticking method".The government no longer controls the tea gardens, but lets the merchants trade with the tea farmers themselves, and only collects "subsidies" from the merchants as interest.In this way, the disadvantages of cross-quoting "false estimation" are easily solved.This is of course a good thing for ordinary traders.However, all those who were damaged were the rich merchants and corrupt officials at the time. After the promulgation of the "Post-shooting Law", the establishment was abolished several times in more than ten years, and the tea market was completely corrupted.

Reluctantly, Emperor Renzong issued an edict to dismiss Qucha, cancel the official ban, fully implement the Commercial Law, and allow tea merchants and tea farmers to trade on their own.At this time, after many years of tossing, many people are in a wait-and-see state, who knows whether the court's laws will change again.However, Han Yu, the leader of Western Korea, seized the opportunity and went to Fujian to control several tea gardens. He paid in advance for the tea farmers who were forced to commit suicide by the rent of the tea class, and completely controlled their output.

Because Han Yu has superb skills and attaches great importance to the quality of tea.After several years of operation, the Han family's tea shop has become bigger and bigger, not only covering most of the market in Xiangzhou, but also exported to the capital, becoming one of the important industries of the Han family.It is precisely because of this that Han Yu took charge of the Han's firm, and received the unanimous approval of the clan elders and even Mr. Han.

And West Korea has also benefited a lot from the tea industry.In addition to the tea garden in Gongzhong, he also spent his own money to open up two tea gardens in Yuezhou, which have just entered the formal stage.If the tea shop is stripped off in large quantities, these two tea gardens will inevitably be affected.

Now that Han Yu died and the firm had no owner, the thoughts of each house immediately floated up again.This time Xiao Nian took refuge in the past, maybe someone wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the tea shop to take over the business and completely control the power!

"I'm afraid there are quite a few people coveting the business house nowadays. In the eyes of those clan elders, how can Shuzong compare to Dizhi? This time it is Sanfang who took over the tea shop, and I am afraid it is also the clan elder's order." Han Miao looked at it instead. You have to understand, if no one instructs, will Xiao Nian fall to Da Zong?After all, Xihan is just a side branch, and even the family property has not been merged into the main family. It is not surprising that some people miss it.

"This, isn't this killing the donkey? What about the firm? Alang really doesn't want to fight?" Han Zhong only gritted his teeth with hatred.The bones of the old master are not cold yet, these people will abandon them, it is too much!Now that no one in the family has achieved fame, I don't know how many years he will have to study before he can pass the exam. If he is really excluded by Da Zong, it may be difficult to do business.

"Arguing? What are you doing here?" Han Miao twitched his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "After decades of hard work, I'm not as good as a hired manager."

Han Zhong's heart trembled: "The old slave knows that Alang is angry, but now that Mr. Han is in court, if the position of Han's business is lost, even the family's business will be suppressed, so we must not be arrogant..."

Han Miao nodded slightly: "I understand what you mean, but father's way is out of date. Instead of fighting with others, it is better to find another way and make some achievements. When you make money, someone will naturally bring you gold and silver. , let me help them make money."

The tone of these words is flat, but the momentum contained in them is not something that ordinary businessmen can have.Han Zhong felt his nose sore, and almost burst into tears.The little master is talented and intelligent, and he also passed the examination back then, but he did not continue to study, but turned to business.This matter is the old master's regret, but in terms of talent, Han Zhong thinks that the young master is more suitable for fighting in the business world, rather than sitting in the study and being a bookworm who doesn't hear anything outside the window.This business can be regarded as a successor.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Han Zhong whispered: "Do you want to let that side do it as soon as possible?"

Over the past year, they have also made a lot of preparations in private to prevent Da Zong from playing tricks behind his back.Going to the border is only one of the means to let people relax their vigilance.Now that Xiao Nian has betrayed the master, the tea shop is about to lose its security. Thinking about that plan, it's time to implement it!

"Not busy." Han Miao smiled, and suddenly said, "Is that Taoist Zhen mentioned earlier still in Changchun Temple?"

Why did you suddenly ask Daoist Zhen?Han Zhong was startled, but he answered quickly: "Of course it is, I heard that it has already entered the alchemy room."

"We should also pay a visit." The smile on Han Miao's face became gentle again.

Naturally, the kindness of helping the grandmother must be repaid, and people must also be seen.It's just that his actions made many people take it lightly, thinking that he hadn't noticed the changes in the tea shop at all, and even had the idea that Xi Han could be deceived, right?

If they don't tick, they show their cards, how can they hurt the killer?

Zhen Qiong has been very depressed these days.It's not that he lost his medicinal materials, or that he couldn't make alchemy anymore, it's just that there is an old Taoist pestering himself to ask questions every day. Is it the life of a person? !

Besides, after only a few days of contact, Zhen Qiong has already discovered that Chi Liaozi should be regarded as a "herb school", and his research is still in the refining of elixir to save people. He often sneers at the many ideas of his "Golden Stone School" .However, under the eaves, how can you not bow your head?Zhen Qiong was so overwhelmed that she almost fell ill.

What method should I use to get rid of this old way?Before Zhen Qiong could figure out why, his uncle suddenly sent a messenger, saying that the current head of the Han family, the grandson of Mrs. Han had gone up the mountain, and wanted to thank him again as a benefactor.

Is this person very powerful, and the uncle should send someone to notify?Zhen Qiong was a little puzzled, but after thinking about it, the Han family is quite wealthy, since it is Xie En, maybe they can bring some delicious food and drink, maybe there will be money?As soon as he thought of this, he immediately ran to meet people happily.

At this moment, Guo Fu was in the meeting room, smiling all over his face and said: "Then Zhen Qiong is also my senior brother's beloved disciple. When she comes to Changchun Temple, she should be taken care of by me. She should be thanked by the Han officials."

It is not to blame for his flattery, Han Miao donated money, silk and rice as soon as he came to the door, saying that he thanked Guo Fu, the uncle, for taking care of his benefactor.Raising a little Daoist boy would not cost so much. Guo Fu was naturally cheerful and courteous, and he didn't hate that bad nephew any more.

Speaking of this, Guo Fu was furious.Just when he was about to give up this useless boy and try to fish him out of the alchemy room, Chi Liaozi took some wrong medicine, so he went to Zhen Qiong's hut from time to time.However, he doesn't teach alchemy, and he doesn't say good things. Instead, he blows his beard and stares like he has a grudge. Maybe he values ​​Zhen Qiong's talent, or he is offended by that steamed fish and wants to find fault.In the end, he didn't dare to act presumptuously, and the abbot Zhang Yun actually calmed down, which shocked Guo Fu even more.I'm afraid that the other party is looking for his flaws, ready to kill him with one blow.

After several days of stomachache like this, the appearance of Han Miao, a rich man, finally let Guo Fu heave a sigh of relief.In any case, that kid is also the benefactor of the side house of the Han family, and it is always profitable.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Qiong was led in by his disciples.Seeing his appearance, Guo Fu's seven orifices were almost filled with smoke.Doesn't this kid tidy up when he goes out?He was wearing a crumpled robe of coarse cloth, and his face was still stained with soot. If he didn't know it, he might think he was pulled out of the woodshed. Is there such a "care"?

With a tight smile on his face, Guo Fuwen said: "Qioner just came out of the alchemy room? Why don't you wash your face?"

Only then did Zhen Qiong wipe her face with her sleeve belatedly, it was fine if she didn't wipe it, but her face turned darker after wiping it.Guo Fu's face also turned black a lot, and he hurriedly ordered someone to get a towel to wipe his face, and then he introduced him in embarrassment: "This is official Han, the grandson of Mrs. Han. , just to see you."

Is this for sending money?Zhen Qiong immediately opened her eyes wide and looked over expectantly.I saw a young man in his twenties in front of him, dressed in a straight gown of ultramarine blue, wearing a distant mountain scarf on his head, and cloud shoes on his feet, with only a piece of jade hanging on his waist, without any decorations, it can be called simple and unpretentious.For some reason, he has a strange aura on him, and he looks... very rich!

Shocked by this appearance of taking advantage of the money, Zhen Qiong bowed obediently and said: "Xiaodao Zhen Qiong, I have met Han Guanren."

The name brought a smile to Han Miao's lips. His eyes glanced at the very worn Taoist robe, and he returned the courtesy: "I dare not take it. My surname is Han. My grandmother was saved by Daoist Zhen. This time I came to the door." , I’m here to thank the Taoist priest for his kindness.”

Hey!Thank you very much.He loves this!

Just as Zhen Qiong was about to say something, Han Miao saluted Guo Fu again: "I wonder if the prison house can make it easier for me to have a few words with Daoist Zhen alone?"

The author has something to say: Han Miao: Really poor?Tsk, it looks like I got the name right.

Daoist Zhen: QAQ
