Royal Road

Chapter 52 Upset

After returning to the palace, Liang Feng sent thousands of Tibetan scriptures to Guo’s palace. Originally, after such an advertisement, no matter how swiftly the giants reacted, they would have to wait two days before they reserved inquiries. However, Liu Xuan’s actions shortened the reaction time a lot.

In the afternoon, fifty stone millet rice was delivered to the door, and five high-headed horses to pull a cart were also given. The rice grain is nothing more. These top-quality horses are worth at least 20,000 yuan, which obviously represents Liu Xuan’s intention to show his favor. Liang Feng added a box of floral paper on the basis of a thousand sheets of Tibetan scripture paper, 50 sheets of two-color paper, as a gift. This not only completes the etiquette, but also promotes the reputation of the paper from the side.

With the generous handwriting of the Xiongnu royal family, and the rest of the experts are well informed, there is no idea that Tibetan scripture paper can be exchanged for food. Fifty shi of grain, according to the Jinyang market price, is no more than 50,000 yuan, which is not worth mentioning for the high-ranking people who often earn several thousand shi every year. And Liang Feng’s name, thanks to all aspects of the promotion, reached its peak after the Fa conference. It is definitely a bargain business to use this little price to exchange the scripture paper made by the legendary “Buddha”!

The next day, several companies came to ask for paper, and the remaining 3,000 pieces of paper were quickly sold. As for those who did not buy paper, Liang Feng promised that as long as the paper workshop produced new paper, it would be shipped to Jinyang. And the three high gates that bought the scripture paper generously left the carriages and livestock that transported the grain, and changed the paper and went back.

After going back and forth, just after the puja ended, the paper Liang Feng brought was sold out, in exchange for a full 200 shi of grain. This is nothing to Gao Men, but it is of great significance to Liang Feng. With this batch of grain, the refugees he took in can survive the difficult days before the autumn harvest. More importantly, this business is not a one-off sale. The paper shop can produce 5,000 or 6,000 sheets of paper every month. If the monthly profit is 300 shi, it will be more than 3,000 shi in a year! Is there anything more profitable than this?

Jiang Ni is now also convinced, kneeling in front of Liang Feng respectfully, reporting: “There are four more booked Tibetan scriptures for the next month. This is only in Jinyang. When this matter spreads, it should be returned. There are many experts who want to ask for paper. If the paper workshop doubles, I am afraid that more money will come!”

Liang Feng shook his head slightly: “If it is too much, it is worthless. It is good to control the output and maintain the current scale.”

In this manual age, it is simply unrealistic to expand production in an instant, and Liang Feng understands the thoughts of these official generations better than anyone. The rare thing is the baby, and the bad street becomes stinky shit. There is no limit to luxury goods. Can it still be called luxury goods?

Jiang Ni nodded quickly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, “What about the porcelain? Someone secretly asked me if there is any extra white porcelain in the Liang Mansion.”

Now Jiang Ni is in charge of these copper stinky businesses. The Fa conference has been passed on. Of course, some senior officials have asked him about Bai Ci in private. Jiang Ni knows exactly how much profit he has gained from selling paper this time, which is several times more than Taofang’s hard work. Wouldn’t it be bad if the paper workshop was placed on the head of the pottery workshop? The precious white porcelain that my father worked so hard to develop must be bought at a good price!

“White porcelain is not in a hurry. Only the best products can be sold. Then, exchange it for silk or fur for the winter.” This Liang Feng had already planned.

You must know that the quality of Taofang’s products is not stable today, just like that lotus cup, six pieces were burned in one kiln, and only one piece was successful. The rest is either uneven color of the glaze or damaged shape, which may not be a problem in the eyes of ordinary people, but for the target customers, it is a flaw that cannot be neglected. Which high-minded and wealthy family will spend money to buy inferior products? What they care about is not cheap or not!

Therefore, Liang Feng did not intend to lower the price to sell defective products, but ordered them to be buried. This is also the reason why ancient porcelain is expensive. Behind any high-quality porcelain, there are broken pieces all over the floor. If the defective products are allowed to flow out, it will only have an impact on the brand and affect its value.

In the future, the white porcelain produced in Liangfu should also follow this high-end route. Only a small amount of high-quality goods are released in exchange for rare strategic materials on the market. Those masters with eyes open to the sky, often can get things that can’t be bought with money. White porcelain is also the only family in the Liang family. In their hearts, they are probably worth much more than silk wool.

With cold-proof materials, when the temperature drops sharply in winter, it will be a life. If it is at war, soldiers wearing winter clothes must have higher combat effectiveness than those wearing single clothes. Liang Feng can figure this out clearly.

After finishing the report, Jiang Ni retreated, and Liang Feng supported his forehead with one hand and leaned on the Pingji. In the past two days, the food has been earned, and it is more abundant than expected, but the anxiety in his heart is no less. The geographical environment of Liang Mansion is indeed good. In order to avoid the war in Luoyang, the previous generations went to Bingzhou and chose this place of recuperation. Although the traffic is not prosperous, it is safe enough. In addition, the main house is a standard Wubao structure, and as long as there is a strong team, it is enough to protect the old and young from the intrusion of insurgent soldiers.

Now, under his remediation, farmland has been opened up around Liang Mansion, which can be used as a pretty good barrier. When the agricultural slack is reached, fortifications must be built, walls and buildings built, and several levels of early warning posts established. As long as there is an invasion by foreign enemies, the people can quickly withdraw to the farm and Wubao to resist. Several times the strength of troops may not be able to eat this hard bone.

But is this enough? If all the turf around him is occupied by the Huns, what use is it for him to guard an isolated island? If you want to keep this foundation, you must at least make sure that a large area nearby is not occupied by enemy forces. But where is Shangdang First County? “Overlooking Zhongzhou, the elbow arm of the river east, and the state, it is called the throat of Jin.” The whole Shangdang is a transportation hub connecting Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan provinces. If you want to jump out of the Sanjin and cross the Taihang Mountains, you must pass the Shangdang!

Therefore, here is the battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There is the battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, and the battle of Huguan when Cao Cao conquered the senior officials. As long as you want to open up the channels between the three provinces and unify the northern border, you can’t get around the Shangdang! This is simply at the forefront of the war. How can we preserve ourselves and even the family members around me?

Currently, Liang Feng could not find the answer. His power is too weak to resist such a situation.

This cognition also gave Liang Feng an urgency in his heart. He was not the kind of person who would just get caught in the face of danger. There must be any way to let him guard this small world.

“Master!”

A voice interrupted his thoughts, and Liang Feng raised his head, only to realize that Yi Yan did not know when he was standing by his side. Against the light, his face was a little fuzzy, only those gray-blue eyes gleaming, full of worry and unspeakable anxiety. Is it because he has been thinking about problems for too long, which scares him?

Before Liang Feng adjusted his face, Yi Yan knelt down on one knee and knelt at his feet: “Master, are you worried about the grain? I can transport them all back to Liang’s Mansion!”

Liang Feng was stunned. Of course he didn’t think this, but he couldn’t explain it in detail at this moment. Is he going to tell the people around him that the world is about to be in chaos, the country will be torn apart, and Liang’s house is likely to be affected by the war and be wiped out in ashes? Obviously it is impossible, not to mention that this prediction is too shocking, even if you know it, what can the children around you do? It just adds to the worry.

So Liang Feng smiled: “Yes, two hundred shi is not a small amount, at least 20 cars, right? It takes at least five days to return to Liang’s mansion from Jinyang, if you encounter a thief. .”

This is also an urgent issue at present. After earning the food with great difficulty, it will be fatal if it is not shipped back to the home.

Yi Yan clenched his fists: “The lord does not need to worry! The sentry found out the movement of the bandits along the way a few days ago. From Jinyang to Tongdan, the market is prosperous, and there are few tragic bandits. Just transport the food to Tongdan, and then The troops are transferred from the mansion and coped along the way. No matter how many thieves are, the subordinates can clear them up!”

Liang Feng looked at the young man with a solemn expression in front of him, his heart warmed, and he patiently exhorted: “The trilogy has been practiced for several months. It is the time when the edge is ready. This way, I will leave it to you. Food and grass are the second, the most important thing Frighten the forces along the way and open up this business road. After that, all kinds of materials will have to pass through Jinyang, and we must be fully prepared.”

There was a stir in Yi Yan’s heart, and the lord really trusted him. How to transport the food, he had a confession in his heart for a long time, and he was confident that he would not be defeated by those young people. However, when he responded resoundingly, the person on the table did not show any joy. He just smiled, let him rest earlier and prepare for tomorrow.

This is definitely not what the lord should have done in the past.

Yi Yan gritted his teeth. Ever since he came to Jinyang, he felt that the person in front of him had changed. He no longer smiled lazily and carelessly played the piano like he did in the mansion. He read history books and military books to him every night, and taught him how to learn Chinese characters. The figure who would climb up and look into the distance wearing wooden shoes disappeared.

The lord has changed, his gentle expression has completely cooled down, and he maintains his reserved noble demeanor anytime and anywhere. Even in the face of the terrifying sight of madness, he would not frown. There is no longer a sincere smile in his eyes, but rather polite and unpredictable. It’s like the gods and Buddhas finally returned to their altars, no longer to be approached.

These changes made Yi Yan crazy. Perhaps this is the original face of the lord, just like his familiar military affairs, the ruthless method of rectifying the Liang Palace. I was just blinded by that closeness, just like how a bird wants to get close to the bright moon in the sky, it can’t touch the bright moon wheel!

Yi Yan’s gaze drooped and fell to the seat in front of him. In the mansion, the lord does not wear full clothes. The weather is getting hotter, so he prefers to walk barefoot on wooden clogs in the courtyard. However, those slender and white ankles are now covered by plain yarn, just like those meticulous plackets and high-tied buns.

All this upset him!

Maybe it will be better to leave Jinyang. Yi Yan got up slowly and walked out. Perhaps after leaving Jinyang and no longer being called “Buddha” by those people, the lord will return to his original appearance. He wants to transport the grain back to the mansion as soon as possible, and then come back to meet the lord, and return to the mansion together!
