Chapter 1040 Words

Once there were horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and the products began to be abundant, we had to consider the issue of sales, and trade had to keep up.

Finally, Su Youcai said: "The Four Routes must arrest theft, prevent rivers, prepare for war, and have extremely heavy personnel. To solve this problem and stimulate population growth, immigration to the Four Routes is the only way to go."

"But everything must be built on the crucifixion of the Yellow River, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain if it changes its course once."

"I can't think of any good way to solve the problem of river service. Apart from sufficient preparation of cement, bamboo, iron bars, tools and other materials, there is no manpower. I can only grit my teeth and carry it on."

“River management in the lower reaches of the Yellow River actually consists of twelve words—cutting bends and straightening them, raising embankments, and channeling water to wash away sand.”

"Although it is only twelve words long, the amount of work involved is huge."

"But Xiangzhou is a good place. We don't have to worry about river defense for the time being, and we don't have to worry about heavy labor."

"I want to use the power of the Han family to develop the model I just mentioned in Xiangzhou, develop our young crops law, our horse protection law, and our market change law!"

"Xianggong Han is a veteran of three dynasties. The Han family is full of crowns and wats. You are the most popular people in the Fourth Road. I want you to take the lead and show this hope to the people of the Four Roads!"

Even though he was a boy giving money, he still spoke so lofty words. Han Chunyan was so impressed by Su You's heart and magnanimity that he fell into admiration. He also had a real understanding of Han Qi's high regard for him. He raised his hand and said: "Open up the world for the people of the Four Roads."

Accepting the order, the Han family has been blessed by three generations of saints, so it is their duty to do so."

After talking to this point, the long-term interests have tempted the Han family. Next, it is time to throw out the short-term interests: "The Mining Department of Sitong Company discovered a vein of potassium sand in Xiangzhou. I wonder if Brother Shi is interested?"

Han Chunyan was a little confused: "What are the benefits of this thing?"

Su You said: "Well, this is an element. With it, crops will grow more lush, especially for leafy plants, which are very important for flowering and bearing fruit."

"Let's put it this way, after this is applied to the ground, the harvest of the fruit tree fields will have to be improved."

"In addition, this raw material is also an important military resource. I can't tell you the details. The discovery of this mineral deposit has solved the limitation that before the Song Dynasty, this kind of mineral deposit could only be extracted from fleng ash and seaweed ash."

"Seventy percent of the national mineral deposits go to the country, and 30% goes to the discoverer. If Brother Shi is interested in buying a stake, I can ask the head of Sitong Company to come and discuss it with you."

Han Chunyan was a little surprised: "Well... to be honest with Shaobao, although the Han family seems to be a big family now, in fact..."

Su You smiled and said: "Otherwise, Sitong and Brother Shi first sign a package of agricultural support plans, and build a hardware workshop, machinery workshop, mill, and flour mill on the Han family's land according to the ideas just mentioned.

Feed mill, pasture.”

"Brother Shi uses the land ownership as collateral, which is regarded as cooperation."

"Sitong has the right to use these things for the first twenty years. After twenty years, they will be automatically returned to the Han family."

"During this period, the members and tenants of the Han family will be transformed into stewards and employees of the new farm. The Han family will be responsible for production, farming, and animal husbandry according to the arrangements of Sitong. The business will receive 60% of the income, and the Han family will receive

Four percent."

"At the same time, Sitong absorbs the talents and funds of the Han family. The Han family is responsible for establishing Sitong's reputation in Sitong, opening up business routes, and providing shops. The two parties jointly develop potassium sand mines. The same business will receive 60% of the proceeds, and the Han family will receive

Four percent."

"Of course, these are just general and specific details. If Brother Shi agrees to the cooperation intention, the manager of Sitong will discuss it with Brother Han."

"Shu Brocade Qi Wan, the world is collectively called it. Among the five blessings in the world, the north is called Yifu."

"To show the greatest sincerity in cooperation, Sitong will first sign a silk purchase and sale agreement with Brother Han, allowing merchants to use grain and South China Sea goods in exchange for silk from the Four Routes. If Brother Han agrees to cooperate, this first position will not be held by Brother Han.

No one else."

This business is so big that it has no boundaries!

Han Chunyan stood up again and said with a wry smile: "Chunyan really wants to say that he is also a scholar, and Shaobao looks down on me when discussing business matters with me, but... the price offered by Shaobao is really unacceptable to the Han family.

.”

Su You also stood up: "Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are all the emperor's four people. Su You feels that the shadow of each identity exists in himself, why should we separate them from each other?"

"Asking my brother to devote himself to the business of merchants is also a Confucian businessman. It is to restore the four roads and revitalize the family. The plan is still to serve the country and the people. How can it be despicable?"

"But next, we have to talk about literary matters."

"Ah? There's more?" Han Chunyan looked at the sky: "If we have a banquet first, we can have a detailed discussion after the banquet?"

The Han family was a Guanying family, and they had a system for food and daily life. Su You didn't think there was much to learn from such ostentation, but he secretly learned from Ping Zhengsheng who came here.

Needless to say about the food, there was too much meat, which Su You was not used to.

After dinner, Su You and Han Chunyan returned to the study, and then they discussed literary matters.

The first step is to establish a county school in Xiangzhou. This is also an imperial decree, and local officials must cooperate.

However, Su You asked Xiangzhou to set an example, to allow school-age children to enter school as much as possible, and to provide sufficient teachers to train talents, especially those with both arts and sciences.

This is very important, because if the Han family wants to realize the family's business transformation, they must reserve talents in this area. It is definitely not possible to rely on the Han family. Fortunately, Su You has a complete training plan, and now it only requires Han Chunyan's approval.

Han Chunyan had no objection to this. The Han family was so big that it was impossible for everyone to become a scholar-bureaucrat. It was also the family leader's responsibility to find another way out for the clan members.

If you look at how the Su family plays Shuzhong, you will know how many benefits this set has.

According to Su You's deception, land is not valuable now and may become even less valuable in the future.

Not to mention New Songzhou, there is so much land at the mouth of the Jiulong River in Nanhai County that it is impossible to cultivate it all. Lu Huiqing wrote several edicts, asking the court to immigrate from Fujian and Guangdong to enrich Nanhai, so he should not just focus on it.

Touch the land.

Han Chunyan handed over his hand: "Cultivation of scholarly conduct has been my father's ambition for many years. The study of Guan Shu is based on reason and emotion, and is based on evidence and reality. It can be regarded as a prominent study today. Many measures will be implemented after discussing with the eldest brother. Unexpectedly, there is no

question."

"But Shaobao, Junyan also has something to ask for."

"Oh?" Su You was most afraid that others would not ask for it. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Brother, I came from the channel."

Han Chunyan said carefully: "My master's collected works..."

Su You suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Wei Gong was not famous for his articles in his life. That was because his achievements were too high. In fact, his words are classic and elegant, and he has the style of being a gentry and a minister.

Order: Mount Tai and Songyue are so towering and high that no one can approach them."

"But just after reading the classics annotated by Duke Wei, I realized that there is also a friendly side. It turns out that there are gentle breezes, fine mist, and streams of orchid, stone and vines in the mountains, but it is a pity that they are not known to everyone."

"I have a suggestion, why not collect Han Gong's articles and poems into one volume, called "Anyang Collection"; collect his remonstrances and memorials into one volume, called "Admonition Yuan Cunmu";

Collected into one volume, called "Zijintang Notes"."

"I can appreciate the beauty of Quan Yuanxun's voice, his great ambition, and what he has gained from his free time and experience."

"Brother Han is responsible for the determination, and Ke Zhengtang is responsible for the issuance of the printing plates. This will be enough for future generations to see the complete picture of Duke Han and Wei. What does Brother Han think?"

The three major undertakings of a scholar-bureaucrat are to establish virtue, meritorious service, and establish reputation.

Han Chunyan couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Shaobao. The entire Han family will be grateful for your great virtue."

Su You smiled and said: "But Zhentang cooperated with many libraries in the Song Dynasty. I am also trying to take advantage of Wanjitang left by Duke Wei."

Han Chunyan also laughed and said: "Shaobao is joking, my family, Wanjitang, can win Shaobao Liufang, it is because we have taken a big advantage."

At this point, the major matters were basically agreed upon, and then we started talking about poetry, words, romantic affairs.

Han Chunyan asked: "Shaobao is a master of writing. He just said that the word 'Lai' was wheat in ancient times, so why did the word 'Mai' appear later?"

Su You said: "The changes in characters can be inferred based on emotion and reason. They were originally pictograms."

"King Cang looked up at Kuixing Yuanqu's work, looked down at the mountains and rivers of Guabun Toba, tied knots with ropes, and wrote contracts to change them."

"However, pictograms are not enough, so we add pictographs, meanings, and things."

"Wang Xianggong's "Zi Shuo" is all based on pictograms and meanings. Taking the word "wave" as an example, Wang Xianggong thought that it means "water skin", but it is actually biased."

"The ripples of water come from water; the glass of glass comes from jade; the slopes of hillsides come from soil; the draped clothes come from hands. In fact, this is the standard combination of form and sound, not a method of forming characters knowingly."
