Chapter 5052 I want to farm

Cheng Yaojin returned to Guzang City, sitting alone in the study and pondered. After thinking about it, he felt that the aristocratic family could not have traveled thousands of miles to Hexi just because of Fang Junzhi's forced Come, we invested huge manpower, material resources and financial resources to cultivate hundreds of thousands of acres of land to plant cotton.

These families have been eating and eating for generations, relying on sucking the ointment and blood of the people. How could they do such unprofitable things?

From Fang Jun's authority, he would not be able to stop the maritime trade licenses of all aristocratic families. Otherwise, once the profits of maritime trade are greatly reduced, there will be a lot of scolding in the court, and the first one will not do it. It's Your Majesty...

It's profitable.

At around the time of the morning, Niu Jinda returned to Guzang City to supervise the transportation of food and fodder, and was dragged into the study by Cheng Yaojin. After his personal soldiers were all repelled after serving tea.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin's mysterious appearance, Niu Jindaqi said, "What should I explain to the Grand Marshal?"

Cheng Yaojin took a sip of tea and said, "There is a great event." .”

Niu Jinda was shocked: “Is it because my sister-in-law is happy?”

Cheng Yaojin: “I... your mother!”

He raised his foot and kicked Niu Jinda hard on the leg, almost kicking Niu Jinda from the stool, cursing, "Is that a good thing for dogs to spit out ivory? If this happens, I will rush back to Chang'an a thousand miles long ago Kill that pointed husband and silver wife! "

How long has it been since he returned home?

At this time, his wife was happy, so Cheng Yaojin could not only not take his face, but also not even his life...

I was not angry either. Although the two were formerly subordinates of the commander, they also fought side by side. The robes are even more of a brother who shares life and death, and it is okay to have a more excessive joke than this.

Niu Jinda laughed: "Tell me quickly, I have to transport the food and fodder back as soon as possible. The warehouse has already bottomed out. It's okay for people to get hungry for a few times. If you just get hungry, you will lose weight after you get hungry. If you want to make up for it, you can make it up. Trying."

Cheng Yaojin poured tea for Niu Jinda and whispered, "I think there is a lot to do about growing cotton."

Niu Jindaqi said, "Aren't you the most impatient farming?"


>Although the ancestors of the Cheng family were not considered high-ranking officials, they were also officials from generation to generation, rich and famous in the countryside. When Cheng Yaojin was young, his father was left in his hometown of Jeju to take care of the industry. The so-called industry is just the land. Although he didn't work, he was supervising the worker in the fields all day long and was very impatient. He often used long-term workers and tenants. Throw it in the ground, ride a horse and find an open place to practice horse lance.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Jeju was in chaos and thieves were rising, and the county government often disturbed the local area. However, Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and formed an armed team with hundreds of light-fitting equipment. Deal with bandits and guard the village.

When Li Mi defected to Wagang, occupied the magpies' nest, and raised an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, his momentum was extremely powerful, Cheng Yaojin did not say anything, abandoned his ancestral property and led his team to Wagang Village. Become one of the "Four Cavalry" under Li Mi's tent...

This guy is good at conquest and speculation, but he is most tired of farming in his life.

Cheng Yaojin stared at her eyes: "Farming is different from farming. In the past, he cultivated 100 acres of land in the countryside. He worked hard until autumn, but there were only a few grains left. Who would be patient to plant it? ? But if you can plant thousands of acres, and the cotton boulders are heavy like copper coins in autumn, you will be happy to plant them."

Niu Jinda was puzzled: "Aren't you growing cotton every day?"

"Now it is for those aristocratic families. I want us to grow it ourselves!"

The two have always been advancing and retreating together. Not only are they working side by side in politics, but they are also not distinguished in private. The industries of the two companies are basically in the industry. They were all together, Niu Jinda was too lazy to use his brain. Generally, Cheng Yaojin came up with the advice and he was responsible for the implementation, and he never objected.

So Cheng Yaojin said this, neither of them realized that there was anything wrong.

If you say do it, just do it.

Niu Jinda understood and touched the steel needle-like stubble on his cheeks, thinking: "What the Grand Marshal means is that you can make a lot of money by growing cotton?"

Farming the land It has never been the most profitable one. Doing business is the best, but farming is safe. As long as it is not a natural disaster that is rare in a century, there will always be surplus. Therefore, this has become the primary industry throughout history. Many people have been promoted and issued The first thing to do when you have money is to buy land.

But the most profitable family members are definitely not farming.

Why have the aristocratic families bought ships and went to sea like crazy in recent years? The profits earned by traveling to the sea trade twice a year are enough to be more than farming dozens or hundreds of times... Cheng Yaojin sighed: "Although our two families have some players in the sea trade, Dong Datang Business Name also has some shares, but I always feel that those are not safe. The storms on the sea are dangerous, and people's hearts are more dangerous than wind and waves. It's not uncommon for me to have nothing on any day... The most secure thing is still a piece of land." >
He also wanted to explain why he wanted to farm, but Niu Jinda didn't care about this at all, but asked: "How to do it? At this time, the wasteland will definitely not be too late to cultivate this year."

Cheng Yao Jin snorted: "How can you wait for one more year? Nothing is the land that has been planted!"

Niu Jinda's eyes widened: "What do you want to do? Don't do it nonsense, so many families If the family is mixed together, if we force ourselves, we will offend all the people! ”

People have worked hard to reclaim wasteland and plant cotton. Did you snatch it? Perhaps it is obvious that the two armies are in hand and dare not resist, but although the aristocratic families are now well-behaved, they still have interests and are intricate, and the government and the country are deeply rooted inside and outside, and they can't stand it secretly. .

After all, it is not the Zhenguan Dynasty now. Emperor Taizong without the protection of his shortcomings may not remember any Zhenguan ministers...

Cheng Yaojin is in his heart: "I am a robbery like this kind of thing. How could we take action personally? Let's go back and visit Guo Guangjing, the governor of Liangzhou, and ask him to negotiate with the aristocratic families to draw a piece of land for our brothers in Guzang, Fanhe. "

Niu Jindaqi said : "Will Guo Guangjing listen to you?"

Guo Guangjing's father was a favorite minister of Emperor Gaozu. He was promoted to Weiweiqing and Duke Gao Guo. He was once very popular and worked hard during the ascension of Emperor Taizong. Therefore, Emperor Taizong treated Guo Guangjing very kindly and had a good official career. This man was born as a military general, but his literary talent was extraordinary and his calligraphy skills were even first-class. He was often ranked alongside Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Fang Jun and others. He can be said to be both civil and military. He was transferred from the position of military general to the governor of Liangzhou and the Muslim guarded the side.

Family background, qualifications, official positions, and titles are all the best choices. How could he be convinced by Cheng Yaojin's intimidation? "Don't worry, I have my own opinions."

No mistakes, one poem, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one bar, one bar!

Niu Jinda didn't say much. Since Cheng Yaojin had made up his mind, he would follow him.

When I was arranged to supervise the transportation of food and fodder and return to Fanhe, I followed Cheng Yaojin to the governor's mansion to visit the governor of Liangzhou.

The sun is drooping westward, and the smoke is curling and the fragrance is floating in Guzang City. The pedestrians on the road are leisurely and peaceful and beautiful.

The governor's mansion is located in a slightly old building in the south of the city. It is said that when Zhang Gui was appointed as the governor of Liangzhou in the Former Liang period, this was the office where the governor's mansion was located...

Later In the hall, Liangzhou Governor Guo Guangjing sat opposite Cheng and Niu.

Guo Guangjing is in his early forties this year. He has a gentle look and elegant appearance. He sat there in a regular dress and a gentle temperament. He is not a powerful official, but also a gentle scholar.

It is said that this age is when Mu Shou is in a strong and prosperous life. He should be enterprising and has a sharp style. However, during his tenure as the governor of Liangzhou, he had a "clear, inaction, and governance" style of Huang-Lao, and his sense of existence is very low. , he doesn't even show up very much on weekdays, just hides in the governor's mansion to do research, and he doesn't want to meet him...

Guo Guangjing smiles warmly, looks handsome and has a friendly attitude, and reaches out to signal the two to drink tea. Smiling, "Duke Lu and Duke Langya County came together. I have been in a position to welcome you, and I have been in a position to be respectful. I have long wanted to drink a few drinks with you, talk about the scenery of Chang'an and the folk customs of Hexi. Today is the same At that time, we might be able to make a drunk together. But before that, drinking and gathering together is a personal friendship, so before that, if you have any business, please speak out, and we will not talk about business at the table. "

The governor of Liangzhou is also among the top in the Tang Dynasty's local officials. He has a prominent status and great authority. He occupies a strategic location and is naturally a powerful official. Even when facing Zhenguan Xun such as Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda I am not at a disadvantage, and I even take the initiative.

Cheng Yaojin picked up the teacup and took a sip, put down the teacup, and smiled casually, "I have been in Hexi for a long time and am concerned about my home, so I recently planned to write a letter to return to Chang'an. I had some concerns before, so I There is not much contact with the governor, and when you leave, you can visit him, which can be regarded as a complete relationship between colleagues. "

Theoretically, the governor is the head of a state, and there is no doubt that the military and political forces are being taken seriously. The official first person. However, due to the existence of the Left Wu Guard, the Liangzhou Governor's Office was inevitably slightly lowered in military terms, which invisibly influenced the authority of the Governor.

Therefore, Guo Guangjing didn't see Cheng Yaojin easily. Even when An Yuanshou was plotting rebellion, he was ill and hid in the governor's office without asking...

Hearing this, Guo Guangjing smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Why do you have to be polite to Duke Lu? ? Although you and I don’t have much friendship, my father often mentioned his friendship with Duke Lu when he was there. In terms of seniority, I am a junior. I should call him uncle. I am a family, and I don’t say two families. But..." >
He looks very warm and easy-going in dealing with people and speaks nicely. He has neither the domineering and stiff generals nor the noble and arrogant civil servants.

But the topic changed and continued: "Although An Yuanshou bowed down and confessed his guilt and moved his family to Guanzhong, the An family had been entrenched in Hexi for more than a hundred years, with branches and vines involved and deep roots. If there was no army of the left Wu Guard to guard the army. , I'm afraid there will be remnants of the An family to make trouble. It would have been fine if it was in the past, but now all the clans have entered Hexi in large numbers, leasing land, purchasing fertile land, and reclaiming wasteland, with huge investment. What if there is any mistake? "

Cheng Yaojin looked helpless: "What the governor said is reasonable, and I am deeply concerned about the public security in Liangzhou. But I am the commander of the army, and I have many soldiers and generals under my command. Can't you stay away from Chang'an and let them leave their homes and businesses all the time, right?"

Niu Jinda didn't say a word, admired her heart, and took the truth first with a few words... Guo Guangjing narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking.
