Chapter 956 The villain talks about profit (2)

  When Inspector Feng heard the word "money", his spirits lifted.

   This time, the war horse transaction did not make much money at all, and what was valued was a long-term investment.

  Before it has an overwhelming advantage over Wei, it is destined not to harvest too much from Wu, so Governor Feng is not interested in talking about this matter for the time being.

   But if you want to talk about money or something, then I won't be sleepy!

  In the past, I always scolded the old monster Zhuge for digging, trying to scrape oil off the stone.

   Now it's my turn to realize that there is a huge difference between governing a county and governing a state, let alone governing a country.

  No way, the word "money and food" is the most important thing!

   "A matter of money? Where is the matter of money? Could it be that the Qin school official wants to do big business with the big man?"

   Seeing the somewhat lazy Feng Cishi suddenly become energetic, Qin Bo, who was still a little worried at first, cheered up on the spot when he saw Feng Cishi's expression.

  As a school official, His Majesty's most important thing is to observe words and demeanor is instinct.

  Principal Qin looked at Governor Feng's expression, and didn't understand:

  I thought that this Feng Wenhe had unparalleled literary talent, even if he was not as good as Lu Xun, who led the army as a scholar, he should be a character with a Confucian character.

   Didn't expect to like copper smell so much?

   As soon as he thought of this, Principal Qin's heart immediately felt as if he saw the bright moon after pushing away the dark clouds, and his eyes were bright.

   But remembering that Mr. Feng started out as a seller of dingkou, and later sold wool, brown sugar, and honey wine. I heard that he even sold workshops. What is it called greed?

   How greedy for money!

   After all, I traveled thousands of miles from Jiangdong to Liangzhou, wasn’t it also for money?

  Qin Bo looked at Governor Feng sitting on top of him, and suddenly felt a little cordial.

   "Junhou is really joking. When it comes to doing business, is there anyone who knows more than Junhou?"

   Governor Feng looked at the accompanying smile on Qin Bo's face, and for a moment couldn't tell whether he was praising or telling the truth.

   "Which of the woolen brown sugar and honey wine sold to my Dawu is not a good product? Ordinary people can't buy it even if they want to buy it!"

  Is that right?

  Most of the wool traded with Soochow flowed into the army and became military supplies.

  Brown sugar and honey wine were divided between the aristocratic family and Sun Quan.

  Rural rich people in Sichuan can only dip some brown sugar to satisfy their cravings during the New Year and festivals. Ordinary people in Wu country still want to eat brown sugar? I want to fart!

  Insufficient productivity, sugar extraction technology is too primitive, the large amount of sugar in the sugar cane cannot be fully utilized, the yield cannot be increased, and Governor Feng has no choice.

  Not to mention sugarcane, the raw material for making brown sugar, is also a big constraint.

  In these years, food is the top priority of people's livelihood.

  No matter how high the price of brown sugar is, it cannot crowd out the cultivation of grain.

  Before Governor Feng became an official, he was fined by the government for wanting to cultivate some tea seedlings in his own field.

  In addition, there are many factors such as the source of labor in the sugarcane plantation, the impact of the climate, the need to contain the aristocratic families in the Shu region, and the domestication of the southern Zhongyi tribe.

  So Dahan can only grow sugarcane in Nanzhong.

  Thinking of this, Governor Feng couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken:

   "It's okay to talk about the wool. Now that the big man has Liangzhou, he can only come here for two years at most. There should be a lot more wool for Wu."

   "It's just brown sugar," said Governor Feng, shaking his head, "It's difficult! Jingzhou has been unwilling to grow more sugarcane, so I have no good way."

  Qin Bo has been secretly observing Liangzhou these days, how could he not know that Liangzhou has built many workshops?

  If it wasn't for fear of causing Feng Wenhe's misunderstanding at this critical moment, he would even want to visit the legendary Feng Lishi.

  Now hearing Governor Feng bring up this matter, Qin Bo was overjoyed, and quickly expressed his long-planned thoughts:

   "The land of the Jianghuai River has been frozen frequently over the years, and the officers and soldiers are trapped in the bitterness of winter."

   "If it is true as what Jun Hou said, it will be a great thing for Da Wu to import more wool from the great man to keep out the cold!"

  After hearing what Qin Bo said, Governor Feng seemed to feel that something was wrong:

   It is said that the school office, no matter whether it is in Wu Guochaotang or in the local government, is hated by people. Who knows that this Qin Bo seems to be a loyal and patriotic generation?

  He was thinking about it, but seeing Qin Bo moved his buttocks again, and his body leaned more towards Feng Inspector, it seemed that he added two more compliments:

   "Don't dare to lie to your lord, the villain came here this time, one is for the matter of the horses, and the other is, in fact, there are other things."

   Governor Feng's eyes flashed, he said "Oh", and leaned back slightly on the chair:

   "I don't know what else is going on with Qin's school affairs?"

   "Your Majesty, the villain just said that, in fact, the treasury of my Great Wu has not been rich these years."

   Speaking of this, Qin Bo hesitated a bit, "So the villain came here this time, in fact, he wanted to ask the prince and see if he could find some connections..."

   "Access?" Governor Feng didn't realize it for a while.

  Sun Quan's money is tight, so I want a way?

  He didn’t pay me a salary…

   "Yes, the villain knows that the Junhou and the Zhang family have a good relationship, so he let the Zhang family get the right to monopolize the brown sugar. To tell you the truth, the school office is in Jiangdong, which is actually quite reasonable."

   "Even sometimes, the school affairs office can help solve the inconvenient places of the Zhang family. Junhou, over the years, Xinghan will sell more and more things to me, Da Wu, every year."

   "If the prince can cooperate with the school affairs office, the villain believes that the caravan of the Xinghan Society will travel in the Jiangdong land, it will be much smoother..."

   Qin Bo who was sitting below was trying his best to persuade Feng Inspector, but he didn't know that Feng Inspector who was sitting above was getting more and more frightened the more he heard it.

  If it weren't for the experience of these years, Feng Cishi has become quite chesty, I'm afraid he couldn't help but stand up long ago.

  Feng Shishi forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, took a slow and deep breath, and tried not to let Qin Bo see his abnormality:

   "School Office? Cooperation? Is this what Lord Wu means?"

  Qin Bo had a slightly hesitant look on his face: "Cough, yes and no."

  That's not it!

   Inspector Feng became more and more determined. If this matter was what Sun Quan wanted, then Qin Bo must inform Hanzhong.

  As for Hanzhong, they will definitely inform themselves in advance.

  So when Qin Bo was in Hanzhong, Qin Bo didn't reveal any information about it.

  He simply wanted to talk to himself in private.

  Thinking of this, Feng Yong narrowed his eyes: "In other words, this is what your school affairs office means?"

   "Your Majesty, you know that the school office is set up by our lord, so you have worries, and we will find a way to share your worries."

  Qin Bo said somewhat vaguely, "This time, the villain came here just to hear what the prince wants."

   "If you tell my lord first, if it doesn't work out then, my lord will inevitably be disappointed; if it works, that would be the best, and it can be regarded as a surprise for my lord."

  I would rather give Sun Quan a shock!

  The corners of Governor Feng's mouth twitched slightly. It seems that the School Affairs Office is indeed powerful in Wu State, and it has the guts to do such a thing.

  Of course he didn't know that it was a last resort for the school government to do such a thing behind Sun Quan's back.

  But for Governor Feng, as long as he can confirm that the matter was indeed done by the school government in private, the real reason will not affect his next decision.

   "The school affairs office is responsible for sharing worries, and his heart is always deeply moved." Feng Shishi said excitedly, "How can it be not the beauty of an adult?"

   "It's not impossible to hand over part of the monopoly of Wu's woolen materials to the school affairs office."

   It is impossible to monopolize all the brown sugar. Based on the friendship between the Zhang family and Governor Feng, Governor Feng did not hand over all the brown sugar to the Zhang family for monopoly, but let them take up half of the share.

  The remaining part was used to buy off the aristocratic family in Jingzhou, and a part of the fixed share was passed into Sun Quan's hands.

   Monopolizing this kind of thing will greatly encourage greed and give some people some kind of expansion that shouldn't be there.

  When Qin Bo heard these words, he was much more excited than Governor Feng, and he stood up suddenly on the spot:

   "Your Majesty's words, but are you serious?"

   "How can the relationship between the two countries be child's play?" Feng Inspector had a kind and bright smile on his face, "It's just that we have to wait for two years for this stuff."

   "I have another method here, which can also alleviate the problem of the lack of money in the treasury of Lord Wu."

  Qin Bo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly said respectfully:

   "I also ask you to enlighten me."

   "Didn't the school affairs of Qin just say that the things made of brown sugar and honey wine are all high-quality good things. Besides wool, is there brown sugar and honey wine?"

  When Qin Bo heard this, he was even more delighted:

   "Is the Lord willing to share a portion of the brown sugar?"

   Governor Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and tried his best to hide his expression:

   "School Qin, you know that I have a very close relationship with the Zhang family, so how could I do something that I'm sorry for the Zhang family."

  Qin Bo's face suddenly showed disappointment.

   Under the cover of the teacup, Governor Feng glanced at his head, and said quietly:

   "However, the brown sugar share still depends on the sugar cane. If the school government can find other sources of sugar cane, I am naturally willing to give the school government a share of brown sugar..."

  Qin Bo only felt that talking to this guy above him was like sailing on a big river, with ups and downs.

  If the officials of Wu State were changed, he would have used his housekeeping skills to let this guy taste what it means to be unable to stop.

   "Other sources of sugar cane?" Qin Bo frowned, this is not easy to handle.

  The place where sugar cane is produced, one is Jiaozhou, and the other is the southern part of Jingzhou.

   Where else can I find the rest?

   "Actually, it's not that we don't want to sell more brown sugar. As early as two years ago, I mentioned it to the Zhang family and suggested that we should also try to grow some sugar cane in the area north of Xiangshui River."

   As he spoke, Governor Feng shook his head, and said with some regret, "However, I have taken into account the opinion of the general on land, so there has been little progress on this matter."

  Qin Bo was taken aback: "The top general?"

   "That's right, didn't you propose to Master Wu a few years ago that the generals in the army should open up wasteland in Jingzhou to prepare for military supplies?"

   "Many of the fields in the north of Jingzhou are owned by generals in the army, so if sugar cane is planted, wouldn't it be contrary to the general's original intention?"

  Qin Bo was thoughtful, and after a long time, he finally sighed unwillingly:

   "That's true. Compared with the benefits of brown sugar, food in the army is the most important thing."

   "Actually," Governor Feng said slowly, "There is no way around food."

  When Qin Bo heard this, his eyes lit up:

   "I also ask you to enlighten me."

   Governor Feng glanced at him and said hesitantly:

   "To be honest with the Qin school, in fact, the grain harvest in central Sichuan has been good in the past few years, and the price is also low. The so-called cheap grain hurts farmers, and the big man also has this concern."

   "It's just that the food supply in the Jingzhou army is of great importance. First, I am afraid that the generals on the ground will be dissatisfied. Second, there is no way to go here in Sichuan, alas!"

   As Governor Feng spoke, his face was full of regret, as if he regretted that the big grain growers in Sichuan were forced to sell their grain at a low price.

  The school affairs office in Wu Guoben is a scholar who hates ghosts and hates ghosts. Who is willing to stoop to work in the school affairs office?

  Lv Yi, Qin Bo and others, have not accomplished enough and failed more, are not highly educated, and do not even know the most basic skills of governing the country, let alone higher-level ways of planning a country.

  However, they cannot be blamed for this. After all, in the information age of knowledge explosion in later generations, how many countries have been harvested by Amelika with the dollar tide cycle again and again?

  The elites of the harvested countries may not necessarily know what their country will face in the end.

   But in the face of huge interests, it is uncertain which side their butts are sitting on.

   And Qin Bo is not even considered an elite in this era, so how can he see clearly the sinister intention behind the huge temptation thrown by King Feng Gui?

  Hearing the sound of heavy breathing coming from below, the corners of Guiwang Feng's mouth twitched slightly again.

   "Jun... Junhou," Qin Bo swallowed, "If, if the villain has a way to solve this problem, is the Junhou willing to provide food for Jingzhou?"

   "It can be regarded as a great political achievement to solve the problem of cheap grain in Sichuan and hurting farmers. Why don't I want to?"

   Governor Feng asked back.

  Qin Bo quickly calculated in his mind:

   Coming here this time, trading war horses is considered a credit, but at most he has been rewarded.

  But the monopoly of woolen materials, the share of brown sugar, and the solution to the food shortage in Jingzhou, whichever one is taken out, is a great achievement!

   Moreover, buying grain from Shu land at a low price and reselling it, it can’t be done in vain, right? The oily water here...

  He had no way to concentrate and think about it any longer, and the pounding heartbeat in his chest couldn't be stopped no matter what.

  At the moment, he couldn't help shouting:

   "Junhou, Junhou! Bo was in Wudi, and occasionally dealt with the Xinghan Society. I heard that the members of the Xinghanhui praised the Junhou for his righteousness and thin sky, and he is the head of the Han Dynasty."

   "Today I have to meet the prince and lord, I am trustworthy, I am trustworthy!"

   Governor Feng laughed:

   "School Qin is over the award, over the award! It's just the love of the brothers in the club."

"If School Qin really intends to facilitate this, I can recommend three people: one is Li Yi and Li Wenxuan from the prime minister's mansion, the other is Li Feng and Li Haoxuan who are in charge of grain and grass in Hanzhong, and the third is Deng Liang and Deng Weizhe (son of Deng Zhi) from Jincheng .”

   "If you can get the help of these three people, then the harvesting of grain in Shu will go smoothly."

  Qin Bo was overjoyed and bowed deeply:

   "Thank you sir!"

"you are welcome!"

   Governor Feng laughed out loud again, extremely bold.

  The big grain growers in central Sichuan have been suppressed for so long, so they should give some sweetness...

   Governor Feng laughed more and more happily, and said with a smile:

   "Actually, the most important thing about this matter is the attitude of the general on land. School affairs Qin should think about how to persuade the general."

   "Thank you, Junhou, for reminding me."

  Qin Bo also laughed.

  If it was someone else, it might not be easy to say, but the general, in fact, the school administration has long considered cutting his authority.

  The reason is also very simple.

  Lu Xun sits in Wuchang, in charge of nearly half of the land of Wu, and even raises money and food from Jingzhou himself.

  How is this different from princes and kings?

  Looks like Lu Zhongshu should remind His Majesty after returning home that this is not the way for monarchs and ministers to get along with each other!

  If Jingzhou’s money and food supply can be brought back to the imperial court, so that the general will not lose his trust, and your majesty can feel at ease, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
