Chapter 1071

The army led by Zhang Xiu originally followed Ganning. By the time of Shenshi in the afternoon, the army led by Zhang Xiu had already arrived at Jicheng and joined Ganning's army.

Zhang Xiu was also quite moved to learn that Gongsun Zan and nearly 4000 white horses died in the battlefield. Gongsun Zan's death was quite heroic.

To die is to die on the battlefield.

From the beginning to the end, he never lost the spirit of the emperor of Yan.

Compared with Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan was much stronger.

Zhang Xiu has never been to care about Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan died, but his descendants are still there. According to today's practice, Gongsun Zan's descendants are all in custody, and then sent to Chang'an to be detained. They must be under full surveillance.

After all this, Zhang Xiu dispatched troops again and arranged Zhang Ya, Gan Ning, and Zhang Yan to sweep the counties in the north of Youzhou. In a short time, she wanted to take Youzhou completely.

When the army left, Zhang Xiu led the rest of the army and temporarily stayed in Jicheng.

Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu to take charge of moving out all the grain in the granary of the state of Yan to stabilize grain prices and prices. She also announced the notice of lifting the ban on Youzhou, allowing merchants to exchange needed goods.

With this order issued, the whole Jicheng and even the surrounding food prices, as well as prices, began to fall rapidly. Even countless big merchants, as well as previous grain hoarders, were ready to sell grain, but for a while, they could not sell it.

Everyone can see that the price of grain is falling.

Who doesn't want to do it now.

What if it has to go down?

For any item, the mentality of most people is that the price of the item falls. They buy it up but not down. When it falls, few people buy it. They are looking forward to a further drop and then buy it.

After the royal guards inquired about the news of the grain, they reported it layer upon layer and finally reported it to Zhang Xiu.

Looking at Wang Yue, Zhang Xiu inquired, "are the people selling grain big merchants?"

"Yes

Wang Yue nodded and answered.

Wang Yue inquired about the situation, and then said, "Your Majesty, after the blockade of Youzhou, these big businessmen took the lead in reducing the supply of grain, which led to the rapid rise of grain prices. After a very frightening price, they began to sell grain. Although they didn't sell much grain every day, the profit was extremely high. After all, the price of grain rose too much. Now, it's because your majesty broke Ji city that they see no profit, so they quickly sell it at a lower price. "

Zhang Xiu once again said, "have you ever found the person behind?"

Ordinary vendors are supported by people behind them.

If there is no one, it must be impossible, especially Jicheng is in the state of Yan, and it used to be at the foot of the emperor. If there is no one, it is simply impossible.

Wang Yue said: "behind these grain merchants are Liu Weitai, Li Yizi and le Hedang, all of whom are Gongsun Zan's brothers. After Gongsun Zan became emperor, they were all princes of Yan state, but Gongsun Zan did not give them real power, so these people mainly engaged in business, and their respective industries were quite rich. "

Zhang Xiu has always been extremely resistant to people who are not benevolent and rich.

You can earn money, but you can earn the hard-earned money of the common people. It's all plundered by squeezing. That's not good.

It doesn't work here.

Zhang Xiu was thinking about how to deal with it, but at this time, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, a man named Le he Dang came outside the camp and asked to see him."

"Xuan!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order.

Now, he did not take charge of Gongsun Zan's Imperial City, but settled in the barracks, still living in the barracks.

The servant went to inform him. Soon, Le he entered. He met Zhang Xiu and saluted him respectfully, saying: "I'm a humble servant. I'd like to see your majesty. Long live your majesty."

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "I've just arrived at Jicheng. Why are you here now?"

When he saw Zhang Xiu, he respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I've always been a businessman, so I have some industries in my hands. Especially before, I was short of materials and the price of food was rising. It happened that the shops in my hand had accumulated nearly 100000 stones of food. All this food is useless in the hands of humble officials. Now, I'm willing to donate all of them to Daqin and your majesty. Please accept them. "

Zhang Xiu eyebrows up, showing an unexpected look.

How could le take the initiative to donate food.

It was a surprise to him.

Zhang xiuhan said, "I accept your wishes. I thank you for the thousands of people in Youzhou."

Le he should say, "Your Majesty, I praise you."

Zhang Xiu said: "this time you can break Jicheng and easily destroy the state of Yan. How can you make a contribution. What do you want? As long as I can be satisfied, I can promise you. "

Happy when still be contented, so Zhang Xiu generous reward.

Le he said: "humble job is to do what you can, do not seek reward."Zhang xiudao said, "if you have made a contribution, you will be rewarded. If you have made a mistake, you will be punished. This is the rule of Daqin. You are good at business and know how to make money. In that case, I appoint you as the right servant of the Ministry of household, as a subordinate of Liu Ba, to assist Liu BA in handling government affairs. "

But he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to be an official. Humble position is a business background, that is to say, I want to do business, so humble position still intends to do business. If you want to ask, you have a request. "

Zhang Xiu was very surprised.

What a pleasure it is to be unwilling to be an official.

That's interesting.

Scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce, scholars are always ranked first, especially in a country with official standard. Scholars are superior only by their status. Zhang Xiu let Le when official, but Coke when refused, really beyond Zhang Xiu's expectation.

Zhang Xiu said, "come on, what do you want?"

Le he bowed and said, "I'm not willing to be an official, but I beg your majesty to write for Leji shop. Only one of your Majesty's inscriptions is needed, and the rest is unnecessary. "

Zhang Xiu began to laugh.

There's something interesting about being happy.

This man is very clever.

As a matter of fact, if you are an official in the Department of household affairs, if you have outstanding ability, it's just that. You can definitely stand firm and continue to climb.

But the problem is that from the beginning to the end, he has never been in contact with officialdom. He has always been in business. Moreover, he has no big background, and there is no backing behind him. It is difficult for him to be an official.

But he is good at business.

Moreover, once Zhang Xiu inscriptions for Leji shops, Leji shops are unique all over the world. Even in the face of monopoly giants like Daqin paper industry and Daqin coal industry, they may not be afraid.

After all, the emperor's inscription, to some extent, is not only a protective umbrella, but also a gold lettered signboard.

Zhang Xiu thought about it and asked, "come on, what inscription do you want?"

He said: "Your Majesty can write at will."

After thinking about it in her heart, Zhang Xiu spread out the rice paper and put forward the four big words - honest heirs!

Four big characters, iron and silver hook.

The typeface is strong and powerful, and even more powerful.

After the four characters were written, Zhang Xiu took out the signature and seal, and then handed the rice paper to le Hedang, saying: "since your ambition is to do business, I hope you can do business in good faith."

"Thank you

For his Leji shop, it is the same as the gold medal of death. Even Leji shop can expand rapidly.

Even if we give 100000 stone grain today, it is worth it.

It's not good to be an official, but there's a way to do business.

He has his own plan.

LOH ho Dang has left without staying long.

Zhang Xiu doesn't have any idea about Le he Dang. After all, Le he Dang is very sensible. She can understand the principle of taking it as soon as it's good, and even make great contributions. She wants to be kind to le he Dang.

But for Liu Weitai and Li Yizi, Zhang Xiu didn't have so much kindness. Zhang Xiu looked at Wang Yue and said, "you arrange the royal guards. The news comes out in Jicheng. The next government will supply large quantities of grain, open warehouses to release grain and salt, and there will be no shortage. Let the news out."

"Here it is

After Wang Yue answered, he turned to arrange.
