Chapter 3604 Golden Flow Conquering the Nine Worlds(1/2)
Chapter 3603 Golden Flow Conquering the Nine Worlds
March of the tenth year of Taixing.
Chang'an Market.
At the beginning of the year, with the sound of drums in the market, merchants rushed into the market like flowing water.
The war in Heluo did not affect Chang'an's commerce, or in other words, it promoted Chang'an's commerce to some extent.
The war expanded the demand, and these demands spread out through these Hu people.
Compared with the Chinese people who prefer farming, these Hu people have become their main industry due to cultural, geography and technology reasons.
Especially in ancient Central Asia.
Central Asia is located at the intersection of East Asia, West Asia, South Asia and Europe, and has become a must-pass place for land trade between the East and the West. Caravans can connect China, Persia, India and the Mediterranean through Central Asia to form a natural trade hub. At the same time, the gift of nature goes west along the Hexi Corridor. The scattered oasis provides supply points for long-distance caravans and gradually forms a stable trade route. This geographical feature prompts Central Asia to develop a long-distance transportation system.
And it is very interesting that it is precisely because of these strip-shaped and dot-shaped oasis that the population on this trade line often stops in the city-state system and cannot form an effective alliance itself. Even foreign empires often cannot control the long arm far end, which also makes the political dispersion of these city-state systems reduce trade barriers and guarantees the freedom of commercial activities.
Food is always the first need of human beings, but only food obviously cannot satisfy human beings.
Nowadays, ceramics, silk fabrics, lacquerware, and other handicrafts produced in Chang'an have become scarce products in Central Asia and even further away regions. Various materials transported from Central Asia seem to be able to be digested in Chang'an, which prompted more people in Central Asia to embark on the road to Chang'an.
The Sogdians, the Great Qin people, and the Restless people were mixed on the market.
The exchange rate of mutual currencies becomes a problem.
The Qingyin Shop in Chang'an has almost become one of the first places these merchants have to go to after arriving in Chang'an, especially the Qingyin Shop in the market, which is even more crowded.
Merchants from all over the world will replace the gold, silver and copper coins on hand here to gold and silver coins of the cavalry, or exchange them for certificates similar to flying money, and then go to the market to purchase goods.
These gold and silver coins of Hu Shang were exchanged with the gold and silver coins of the Hu Qi based on the quality of their gold and silver coins...
It seems reasonable.
However, in fact, Qingyin Store has the right to review, random inspection, re-inspection, and even bargaining. Therefore, overall, if Hu merchants use currency from other countries and purchase goods in China, they will lose a part of them before buying anything. Whether it is in terms of fire consumption or bargaining, although there is not much, the accumulated quantity is enough to make these Hu merchants feel distressed.
Therefore, these Hu merchants prefer to use the gold and silver coins directly, which can greatly avoid invisible losses in the procurement process, which makes the gold and silver coins of the Huqi naturally promoted, gradually replacing the currencies of other countries and circulating in the Western Regions and Central Asia.
As the national strength of the Han Dynasty, or the power of the cavalry, this phenomenon will become more and more obvious.
If Hu Shang wants to obtain gold and silver coins for the Cavalry, he or she either exchanges the goods for exchange or carries gold and silver coins for direct cash. This will be more cost-effective than using other countries' currencies to convert exchanges...
Therefore, even though the Hu merchants, General Fei Qian, did not ask these Hu merchants to use any method to promote the Hu merchants' gold and silver coins, these Hu merchants spontaneously chose a solution that meets Fei Qian's needs.
This is the power of civilization, the war of economy.
The premise of all this is that Fei Qian and the political group represented by Fei Qian must achieve continuous victory and stand at the highest peak...
Just as the Hu people gathered in the Qingyin Shop and waited for the guys in the Qingyin Shop to initially measure the quality of gold and silver with touchstones, they suddenly heard the noise on the street.
The command soldiers carrying Akatsuki rushed across the streets, while the soldiers and inspectors who were responsible for patrol and on duty were shouting loudly, allowing pedestrians and vehicles to avoid the clear road.
"What's wrong..." The Hu merchants asked each other, and soon they got the answer.
On the street, as the messengers ran, some messy sounds gradually gathered together!
『Great victory! Great victory! Great victory! Great victory of Heluo!』
...
...
The jingzhong.
The news of the Heluo victory was conveyed to Qinglong Temple.
A group of minor officials raised their cloth high and called for a great victory, paraded in Qinglong Temple.
The students in the green shirt gathered in groups, discussed each other, pointed fingers, and showed their spirit of giving instructions.
Most of the children showed excitement and were proud, but there were also a few older Confucian scholars gathered together, muttering and saying something like "When Dong thief entered Luo, he also said to eliminate treacherous and slanderous people." Then some other students heard it and immediately started arguing with each other.
Some people say "a strong army will bring peace to the people", some people say "long-term war will lead to death", some people scold "a slander like Dishan", and some people scold "a singular military affairs will bring peace to Zhao Kuo", each of which has its own key points of argument.
Among the onlookers, a minor official mingled in the crowd, took the opportunity to raise his arms and shouted: "I will report to add nine tins to the Lord... Ah, to show the martial arts of the cavalry!"
...
...
At noon, Dongque Restaurant.
The news about the Heluo War is the hottest topic at the moment.
There are no hot search lists at the moment, so if you want to get any news, you either go to a restaurant or squat under a tree on the street...
There is an advantage in the wine shop, and you can also hear the storytelling on the spot. When you hear the storyteller sing and telling Zhang Liao to "behead 30,000 and recover the old capital" in Luoyang City, a group of people raised their glasses and cheered, which caused the passing old man to shake his head and sigh.
"Hey, this father-in-law, the great victory of the Piqi Heluo River, why do you sigh?"
The buzzword catches the old man and insists on asking for a clear question.
The old man couldn't get away, so he could only answer, "The disaster of war, the people's grass, how sad is the rest of their bodies..."
"Ah! You guys, it's so unreasonable! This is a blessing!"
"That's because the sword and gun didn't hit you..."
...
...
Time.
Fei Qian and Fei Zhen sat down to have supper together.
Chinese-style parents are most likely to be similar.
If you haven’t seen your child for a long time, you are so cute. If you stay together for no more than three days, you will immediately become a naughty child. Why do you look like a bear?
The same is probably true for Fei Qian and Fei Zhen.
However, for Fei Qian, in addition to his own naughty child, Fei Zhen also has the title of heir.
Therefore, some things are unwilling to do as they please.
For example, beating a child on a rainy day...
It is not easy to raise a child, but it is even less easy to raise a child to become an heir.
Especially like Fei Qian, there are many secrets that cannot be said, and even if they say them, they may not be useful, because children may not be able to understand them, and those who can understand may not be able to do the right thing...
Life is not an exam, there are no standard answers. Even if there are answers for the time being, if you only know how to copy the standard answers every day, you may find that there is no answer to copy one day, and you will probably be numb.
So Fei Qian also wanted to make Fei Zhen think more.
However, children, when they can copy the answers, they mostly choose to copy them first. Moreover, half-aged children have the desire to break through the rules and try ghost fire from the human genes. It is most likely that children can understand self-control, so Fei Qian also has to keep a close eye on them. These days, when he was in Chang'an, he has brought Fei Zhen with him almost every day.
There is also an advantage of doing this, that is, the officials under his command will not only not feel weird, but will feel very at ease. When they see Fei Qian and Fei Zhen sitting in the lobby, or when they go in and out of the official hall, they have no objection and even look a little happy.
Nowadays, thanks to Fei Qian's improvement of the Han dishes, at least in Chang'an, the cooking method has been greatly developed, and many dishes that may have appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties have emerged. Because of the communication with the Western Regions, some new spices and seasonings have also been used in the cooking of dishes.
Because of the deepening of farming and the application of fertilizers, the land yields more per mu, which makes farmers willing to use the fields to plant seasoning crops such as onion, ginger, garlic, etc. rather than being limited to grain crops. The three seasoning crops that do not pick up land were first developed in Chang'an area, and even dishes with onion flavor were mainly produced.
For example, the onion splashed rabbit has a taste similar to the braised rabbit with scallion oil in later generations.
All of this made Feiqian feel that the path he is taking is correct...
At least the direction is correct.
A very simple truth is that ordinary people only think about eating, dressing and having fun when they are rich and free.
If people either 996 or 007 all day long, even if they want to spend some time occasionally, the boss will not want to go there. They wish they could go to Ding Ding Xinxin together, and they had to check in for a limited time when they went to the toilet. What are their moods and when to spend?
Even if you shout loudly or excitingly, what's the use?
Among the people in Chang'an area, more dishes and better taste began to be popular, and not just when you are full, Feiqian could feel a kind of vitality spreading out...
This is also the "project" that Fei Qian left for Fei Zhen in the past few days.
After dinner, Fei Qian raised this topic again...
『Is it written?』 Fei Qian glanced at Fei Zhen, 『Then just think about it…』
Fei Zhen took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve, and interlaced it up and down, obviously looking for the order of the paragraphs of the article, and then looked at Fei Qian.
Fei Qian reached out to signal.
"Yeah..." Fei Zhen subconsciously shook her head, but halfway through, she secretly raised her eyelids, and then her neck stiffened, "Husband... Well, this Husband..."
Fei Qian lowered his head, held back his laughter, pretending to touch his beard, but he didn't seem to hear Fei Zhen get stuck.
"Uh, cough cough..." Fei Zhen moved her shoulders and arms again, then raised her head. The voice was a little small at first, but as she was reciting, it became louder as she recited the Wei River, the Jing River flowed, the fertile soil was filled, and the Jiahe River was abundant. The golden waves were rolling in the three servants, and the fields were green in the Bachuan. The Baiqu of Zheng was open, and the millet was like pearls; the Longshou Plain was wide, and the wheat seedlings were covered like brocade. The official cereals were accumulated and the people were rich. This is truly a virtue of nourishing people, and it is also a merit of persuading agriculture."
"Then the food is the most important thing in food. In the past, Gong Chao wrote a memorial saying that cold is for clothing, not for light warmth; hungry is for food, not for sweet order, so urgent measures are not for long-term governance. Now, when looking at the market, there are locust leaves, cold food, steamed elm seeds, which are things to fill hunger, as well as deer fetuses, awesome lips, hump and carp tails, which are actually rare. If the difference between the upper and lower levels is like this, the rich are the treasures of poor mountains and seas, and the poor eat quinoa and aquatic food, so the people's spirit will be in line with the customs and the customs will be vivid."
"Therefore, we should implement the method of being a regular method, establish a warehouse for the balance of balance and atrocity, and set up a market for the balance of five equals to calm the noble and humble. This is the responsibility of the officials, who lead the army to the gardens and encourage the melons to plant the suburbs. In the past, the Marquis of Bowang dug up the empty space and obtained alfalfa grapes in the Western Regions. Now the officials should work diligently and teach them to plant pine trees and green onions and ginger in the villages. The old woman can sow leek eggs in the jar, and the young son can pick ducks and pine trees in the pond."
"As far as the art of cooking is concerned, it is also related to education. Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food, mixing cauldrons and placing cauldrons and counties. It is advisable to ask the three elders to take charge of drinking in the village, and the doctor teaches the recipe for mixing the five flavors. I like Yi Yin, who writes soup, uses cooking to describe the way of cooking, imitating Yiya to distinguish water and help the people, and uses food to observe the people's mood. The head of Guizhou knows that spring, leeks, autumn, roe, and summer sauce, and winter sauce. Then the people's drinking virtues and food can be harmonious, and they can be filial to their relatives and be harmonious with their neighbors."
After reading, Fei Zhen secretly rolled her eyelids again, looked at Fei Qian quickly, then lowered her eyelids and waited quietly.
Fei Qian was a little helpless when he saw this, "Isn't it all written by you, right?"
