Before reading the letter, Mr. Chang wondered if Gu Zhao wrote the letter to ask for help. Of course he knew the place of Yaochang Mansion. Gu Zhao, a young official, took the initiative to ask to serve as a magistrate there. In Mr. Chang’s opinion, it was a bit risky Even if experienced officials pass by, they may not be able to develop that place.
He opened the letter and read it quickly. After reading it, he was surprised. Although he guessed that Gu Zhao wrote the letter to ask for help, the content of the letter was far from what he thought, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates : "Master Xiao Gu also sent a package? Go and see if it arrives."
The subordinates went out to search and found that there was indeed a package with the letter, but the person in charge of receiving it didn't take it seriously. If you want to give a gift to his family, you can't give it in this way. His family needs a name, So this subordinate found the package from Gu Zhao from a pile of items to be processed, and hurriedly held it in front of Mr. Chang.
Opening the package, there is a wooden box inside, and opening the box again, there are twenty small wooden boxes carved with exquisite patterns, and the subordinates feel strange when they see it, what kind of mystery is this little Gu lord playing.
Mr. Chang took out one of the small boxes, opened it, and said happily: "Sure enough, it is as its name suggests, and it really looks like suet white jade."
"My lord, what is this? A gift from Mr. Gu to Mr. Gu?"
"Yes, haha, this is the suet soap that the boy made when he came to Yaochang Mansion, but now the materials for making suet soap are in short supply, so I asked the official for help."
"Is this a kind of soap? It doesn't look the same as the previous soaps."
"Because the materials used are different. It is made of fat from sheep. I didn't expect that fat to have such a use. No, I should say that I didn't expect soap to be made of fat." Mr. Chang There is no shortage of silver, so after getting used to soap, I can't live without it. Looking at such suet soap, I can't associate it with greasy grease.
The subordinates also immediately understood what Gu Zhao wrote to the lord for the fat of the sheep, and the subordinates couldn't help laughing. I'm afraid the lord never thought that someone would ask him for such a thing.
Master Chang really didn't expect such a thing to happen, he laughed and waved his hand, sure.
Turning around, Master Chang wrote a letter to the emperor. After coming for several years, Master Chang felt that the mutual market at the border could be opened, which could further contain the nomads outside the customs economically. He had read the note from Song Cheng at the beginning, and it was actually the same. Because of that note, he remembered Gu Zhao, a scholar, thinking that such a scholar would enter the officialdom sooner or later, but Gu Zhao's speed was much faster than he thought.
Beijing.
Gu Zhao and Mr. Chang's papers were delivered to the emperor's desk almost at the same time, and the emperor looked through them immediately. Although Gu Zhao was talented, the emperor was also worried that he was too young to handle the affairs of the Yaochang mansion well.
Gu Zhao's notebook is quite long, and he wrote everything he did when he arrived in Yaochang Mansion, including Fang Tongzhi who was recuperating at home due to "illness", and a large group of people in the yamen asking for leave for various reasons. Be happy, and then laugh when you see Gu Zhao using such a crude and simple means of smashing money to invite people to do things. .
Then, seeing the two workshops written by Gu Zhao, the emperor was amazed. He asked Gu Zhao to figure out a way so quickly. The suet soap and rubber products made of a kind of weed were sent here. The emperor usually likes to play with suet white jade, and he also likes this fat-reducing soap. With these two things, the emperor knows Yaochang The mansion can't help Gu Zhao.
After reading the brochure sent by Mr. Chang, the emperor called the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter of the border customs. In fact, the emperor and the cabinet had already mentioned the opening of the border market, but the conditions were not yet mature, and the voices of opposition were not small. , so except for Mr. Chang who can do business with customs outside the customs according to the order, other people are not allowed, which is an improper transaction.
Both documents were handed over to Yao Shoufu and the others. To be honest, Gu Zhao had been away from the capital for some time. During this time, there had been no news about him and Gu Mu. The dignitaries in the capital still felt that it was strange that they were not used to it. In particular, Mr. Gu Zhao came up with some new things from time to time, even if he went to Jiangnan, the capital also lacked a lot of his troubles.
After reading his excerpts, Yao Shoufu couldn't help laughing. After the experience in Yaochang Mansion, Gu Zhao can also be called a capable minister.
The cabinet originally had different opinions on the matter of the mutual market, but Mr. Chang’s notes specifically stated how much the foreign tribes with whom he did business had increased their cattle and sheep grazing, and how much their horses had been reduced. From this point of view, it can be proved that there are certain merits in using this method to contain all ethnic groups outside the customs.
Some ministers believed that doing business with foreigners outside the customs was considered an enemy, so they insisted on closing the border gates to prevent the two sides from coming and going.
But can it really prevent the caravan from doing business with foreigners outside the pass?It is not allowed on the surface, but in private there are still caravans who take risks for profit, after all, the profits are very large.
Yao Shoufu also had a detailed understanding of the border situation, including private transactions that cannot be eliminated, so he supported the establishment of a mutual market: "Since it cannot be eliminated, it is better to put it on the bright side, and the government can carry out transactions on the bright side." control."
"As far as the current situation is concerned, we can buy the mutton and mutton fat they raise from outside the customs, as well as the wool that Mr. Gu mentioned. As long as it is profitable, I believe that more and more herdsmen will increase their flocks."
"The tax revenue from the exchange market may be used as military pay to reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Households. This will not only deter the use of force, but also economic containment, and the pressure on the border will also be reduced a lot. It is impossible to rely solely on the exchange market to contain it, because This is obviously a long-term process, and it may take more than ten years or even decades to bear fruit, so the deterrence of the military is essential."
The focus of this discussion has shifted. It was originally about whether to open a mutual market. This time, the opposition to the opening of a mutual market has been much smaller. Although the data provided by Mr. Chang is not too large, it can also be seen that this method has an influence on foreigners outside the customs. Although the duration will be relatively long, it is obviously a method with the least investment, and it will be subtle, and it is the least likely to cause rebounds from the tribes outside the customs. The Great Zhou Dynasty can penetrate into the tribes outside the customs bit by bit.
After the cabinet has obtained a unified opinion, the opposition from the court is no longer a problem. The next thing to discuss is where the location of the exchange market is most suitable, and the officials in charge of the exchange market. It was decided to hand over the matter of the mutual market to Mr. Chang.
When there was a dispute over the location of the mutual market in the court, Gu Zhao ushered in the first batch of mutton fat from Mr. Chang's side, which also allowed the mutton fat workshop in Yaochang Mansion to be free to produce without worrying. Regarding the problem of insufficient supply of raw materials, Gu Zhao felt that after the suet market stabilized, he could find other oil crops to make soap according to local conditions.
When the news of the purchase of wool was released, those sheep farmers were the happiest. Now one sheep can be sold three times. The income of mutton, grease and wool should not be tripled, but doubled should be no problem.
This time the common people are much more active, unlike when many people couldn’t believe the news when they bought rubber grass for the first time. They took the initiative to send the useless wool accumulated at home into the city, and some clever people took a few people to the surrounding villages to collect wool. Some people were willing to pay a slightly cheaper price sell to these people.
When the third workshop was built, the purchased wool was sent to the warehouse of the workshop, waiting for the arrival of the manager of the workshop, Li Shi.
Gu Zhao also sent out blueprints to find a carpenter to make a spinning wheel. The news reached Fang Tongzhi who had been watching him and the workshop. He was very puzzled. Is this wool used for spinning and weaving?
Fang Tongzhi thought he had grasped the truth about the third workshop, and he didn't want to let Gu Zhao go on. Now Gu Zhao's reputation is getting louder and louder, because he has never appeared, and now he came to Yaochang City Those caravans, who still remembers him as an acquaintance.
Before Fang Tongzhi could create a reason to let Gu Zhao leave the city, he got the news that Gu Zhao was going to the Mihe County below to inspect the planting of rubber grass in Mihe County, which is why Fang Tongzhi knew about Mihe County. The county magistrate Cheng did not know when he hooked up with Gu Zhao behind his back, otherwise, how could the Cheng surname bother about planting rubber grass?
This also made him more unable to restrain himself. If it drags on, not only outsiders, but also the local family forces will fall to Gu Zhao. After all, Gu Zhao can make more money than him. Who is not jealous of those businesses? Because they were on Fang Tongzhi's side, there was no way to share the benefits from Gu Zhao.
Gu Zhao wanted to go out of the city, but Master Fan wanted to persuade him, "It's not suitable for you to go out of the city at this time, and I don't know how many people are secretly watching you."
Gu Zhao honestly told Master Fan: "Master, you know that I am turning passive into active. Otherwise, even if I want to stay in the city, someone will try to get me out of the city. What should I do then? Don't be too high." I don’t want to cause unnecessary casualties.”
Master Fan was shocked when he heard that, the more he knew about Fang Tong, the less he had any expectations for him, what the adults said was really very likely to happen, if there was a natural or man-made disaster in a place, would the adults go or not?If you don't go, you will leave an excuse for the enemy, and it is very likely that the previous achievements will be discounted.
"But the safety of my lord..."
He opened the letter and read it quickly. After reading it, he was surprised. Although he guessed that Gu Zhao wrote the letter to ask for help, the content of the letter was far from what he thought, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates : "Master Xiao Gu also sent a package? Go and see if it arrives."
