"Oh? What's the mystery in this?" Chen Kan asked.

"Catfish are carnivorous, and this baby shark is on top of their diet. When baby sharks encounter natural enemies, even if they have already been caught ashore, they will always escape to their lives in the cabin. Originally, they died because the cabin was too small and there was not enough breath. , Now that they are running for their lives, they are more energetic and have survived a lot." You Hongyin said: "Just like today's aristocratic family, which has no rivals and is at the top, but has lost its vitality, the leader of the country is the leader of the family, but But they don’t know it. Dominance of one family has always been the way to perish, and the only way to make progress is to compete with each other.”

Chen Kan was silent.

He began to feel as if he couldn't see through the student.

What's going on in this kid's head?

It looks like Confucianism but not Confucianism, like Taoism but not Taoism.

The two masters and apprentices had a conversation that day, but they never mentioned it again. You Hongyin studied step by step, and Chen Kan also introduced various people to his disciples as usual.

He wanted to see which path this unique and talented disciple would take in the end.

The emperor of Luoyang issued an edict to the world to seek reinforcements. The strength of the emperor's six armies was really worrying. Before the reinforcements arrived in Luoyang, the Huns had already completed their plunder and retreated.

However, the crisis in Luoyang has not been resolved.

The Sima family adopted a system of enfeoffment, and it was a more thorough system of enfeoffment than in past history.

In the past, the Qin Dynasty abolished enfeoffment and established the system of prefectures and counties, which resulted in the death of the second generation. Later, Cao Wei reused heroes of the opposite sex to suppress brothers with the same surname, and the result was an instant death.

Because of this, the Sima family wantonly entrusted the same surname as kings. Its original purpose was to create a royal power capable of defending the imperial family to fight against careerists among the gentry. Therefore, the clan kings were given great political and military power. , such as the abolition of state and county armies, and allowing the clan king to have the right to own troops in his own country, allowing the clan king to go out of the town and allowing the clan king to participate in politics, etc.

But they forget that once they have rights and land, the power of the clan will expand, which will have an indelible impact on the central government.

The internal power struggle in Luoyang has also begun, or in other words, it has started a long time ago, but it has only been a struggle at the top before, and it has not spread to the world, nor has it developed into a military disaster.

The current emperor of the Sima family is a fool, and the government has always been controlled by the queen Jananfeng and several other Sima kings. This time the Xianbei siege, Jananfeng took control of the government and killed the prince who was not his own son. She acted more and more excessively, and naturally she was killed by the kings of the Sima family who cooperated with her at the beginning. Although there is an emperor in Luoyang now, it is almost as if there is no emperor.

The emperor's stupidity is almost "Sima Zhao's heart is known to all passers-by." How could the other enfeoffed Sima clans stand by and watch? Naturally, they wanted to be the master of Luoyang.

Therefore, internal strife arises.

Luoyang has become a huge piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite,

Chen Xiquan brought his family back to Luoyang three years later, because Luoyang was "stable", but now that You Hongyin looked at the overall situation, the so-called stability was just that the King of Chengdu stood out and took control of the capital of Luoyang for a short time. There are still many powerful Sima Kings out there, and the stability of Luoyang must be like a flower in a mirror, which will soon be shattered.

After seeing the whole incident clearly, You Hongyin decided to leave Guangling when he was 16 years old.

Heroes come out of troubled times, but if you stay in Guangling City, you can't be a hero, and you can't find a hero.

In fact, if Guo Xi was a little older, You Hongyin might be more relaxed and could accumulate strength early, but he is still too young.

But now that he has a teacher to teach him, it can be regarded as sharpening the knife and chopping firewood by mistake, so that You Hongyin can get a lot of valuable information, and it can also allow him to carefully plan the way ahead.

First, he needs a site, and second, he needs talents.

The site can be considered later, and talents need to be cultivated. In the early stage of starting a business, there is no need to consider what attracts talents to work, or the convenience of cultivating them yourself.He didn't want to cultivate celebrities with amazing talents or the like, but some managers who could handle some general affairs, and it shouldn't take a long time.

And if you want to cultivate talents, you can't borrow the resources of the Chen family, so you have to earn the silk money and food yourself.

Ah, turning around, I still have to do what I have done countless times.

Make money.

Fortunately, the restrictions on doing business in this era are not very strict, and there is no rule that the gentry do not do business. If they do not trade goods, where will the gentry squander a lot of money? On the contrary, under the current situation, those who have all kinds of advanced knowledge In the hands of the gentry, there are very precious goods produced, such as salt and iron tea, grain and grass, silk cloth, etc., and the manors and various workshops operated under the name of the family will produce various materials non-stop.

"Teacher, what kind of output is the most important for the Chen family's property?" You Hongyin didn't want to offend the aristocratic family just because he made a little money. Now that he is alone and weak, can he still grab other people's jobs?There are many valuable and sought-after things in the world, so if you want to make huge profits, you don't want to grab other people's market share, but to monopolize it yourself.

"Hey, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of thing?" Chen Kan asked.

"Curious." You Hongyin said.

Chen Kan understood that the little slippery boy didn't want to talk about it, so he gave his apprentice a slight look. This boy had never meant to be afraid of his teacher, which made him love and hate: "You must have wondered why you chose Guangling for the elderly as your teacher. Guangling Salt Farm It is the property of the Chen family, the Wei family and King Guangling. The salt they produce is supplied to the six counties, and they are very profitable. But if the Chen family values ​​the industry the most, it is the Chen family silkworm cocoon paper, which is a treasure among papers. "

Nowadays, the currency is impassable, and there is a lot of bad money circulating in the market, so the trading habit of bartering is still followed, and the hard currency is silk.

Why silk?

Silk cloth is not purely used for tailoring clothes, making bedding, etc. It also has an important function of writing.Because the bamboo slips are inconvenient and the paper making process is complicated, the price of high-quality paper is actually more expensive than silk cloth. This also leads to the fact that silk cloth still has the function of paper, and it has gradually become a hard currency without worrying about sales.

Chen Kan is proud of Chen's silkworm cocoon paper, because it is not only an elegant item, but also because silkworm cocoon paper is sought after by nobles, and it is priceless.

Chen Kan talked about the differences in his own family, and then began to tell You Hongyin which products of other aristocratic families are famous.

You Hongyin immediately opened his eyes.

Almost every family has its own unique secret recipe or special products, but the top families do not manage these by themselves, but choose dependent families to manage them on their behalf.

"My Yingchuan Chen family is not as good as those top giants, that's why some disciples from the family are distracted by it." Chen Kan sighed.

Yes, the aristocratic family doesn't care about the reputation of doing business, but from the point of view of their heart, they don't like this kind of work. If they have the conditions, they will hire a professional agent.

You Hongyin said: "The teacher talks about regret, but in fact he knows these things very well."

Chen Kan said: "So, being a teacher is to persuade you, kid, don't be distracted by the immediate interests, and now the most important thing is to study."

You Hongyin smiled and said: "I know that the teacher has something to say, but in my opinion, learning as you go along and applying what you have learned to practice can be regarded as reviewing and consolidating. Heart."

"The way of business is boasted in your mouth." Chen Kan has also experienced these things before, and he understands that if he wants to do practical work, this way of management is inseparable. Such words are just a casual blow to himself That's all for this disciple.

You Hongyin said: "The student's foundation is shallow now, but he wants to cooperate with the teacher."

Chen Kan raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue talking.

"I have heard a lot just now, and the students have a method." You Hongyin said: "It can produce colorful porcelain that is more dazzling than white porcelain."

Chen Kan sat up suddenly: "Are you sure it's painted porcelain? Not painted pottery?"

With today's firing technology, let alone colored porcelain, even white porcelain can only be fired by a few very rare companies.

Porcelain was born not long ago, but its jade-like appearance and rarity are enough to be enthusiastically sought after by the nobles, and the pursuit of the nobles represents the trend of fashion, and the high-ranking Hu people also follow suit, and this situation of oversupply has caused Porcelain has become a high-end trading commodity.

There are many reasons why most kilns fail to fire porcelain, such as not knowing the recipe, and the recipe for firing porcelain is still in the hands of several companies.Then it is because the craftsmanship is not good enough.The temperature of firing porcelain is much higher than that of firing pottery. Even if a kiln for firing porcelain is built, it is difficult to reach the predetermined temperature under natural conditions.

So more advanced blower technology is needed.

The firing of colored porcelain is nothing more than glazing, it depends on the actual operation process.You Hongyin only knew the process and hadn't actually operated it, but even if it failed, if you try more, you will succeed.

Chen Kan naturally understands that if the colored porcelain is fired successfully, the profit behind it will not only be Qian Juan. .

Therefore, Chen Kan naturally agreed to such a win-win situation.

You Hongyin only wanted to get Qian Juan. Except for the technology, the Chen family took care of everything else, and he never thought of keeping this kind of porcelain firing technology. He never wanted to take back what he took out.

This is also the reason why You Hongyin chose to burn porcelain among many things such as papermaking, printing, cement, etc. This thing does not involve the basics of people's livelihood, it is a luxury, and it is not very distressing to give it away.

After more than two years, Luoyang changed hands several times. Changsha King Sima Ai temporarily quelled the disputes in Luoyang, and temporarily Luoyang stabilized.

And You Hongyin is now 16 years old.

Now he has gathered around some domestic servants, or refugees, or slaves, and even two barbarians, who were originally ordinary farmers, but after being conscripted and defeated in battle, they were reduced to slaves and sold to this place.

"Do you want to go home and take a look now?" Chen Kan is now two years older, but he is still very energetic.

"Teacher is going back to Yingchuan?" You Hongyin asked.

"Hey, I know I can't hide it from you. I will take over from my younger brother here. Now that Luoyang is unblocked, I still need to go back."

"I won't go back for the time being." You Hongyin said, "I'm going to look for it and see if I can vote for a Mingzhu or something."

If you can't find it, do it yourself.

Of course he wouldn't say that.
