Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

Xuan knows that doing this kind of thing overnight has no advantages other than being beautiful, and he believes in the business method of gradually building trust.

Even if you are a liar, you will start from a small place

Therefore, instead of saying that Huang Xuan completely conquered the kings and ministers of Zhao Guo with his miraculous performance, it is better to say that it was 10,000 shi of grain that conquered King Xiaocheng. He generously gave Huang Xuan a thousand acres of land, a house, and several servants Hundred.

It sounds like a lot, but it's a pity that a hundred acres of land can only be regarded as a middle peasant in this era, and Huang Xuan didn't expect himself to wait until the fields grow crops. As for the servants, Zhao Guonan is either on the battlefield or has died in the field. On the battlefield, so apart from an old man in his 50s, they are all women and children.

The so-called slaves are actually slaves. When Huang Xuan returned home at night, the house was already tidied up. The old man knelt at the door with a hundred servants, holding the deed on his head, and said, "Welcome to your home."

This house is just near the palace, facing the city center, but Huang Xuan has no interest in these contracts. Instead, he helped the old man up first, and said, "What's your name? Who else is there in the family?"

The old man was quite frightened by Huang Xuan's courteous reception, and said tremblingly: "This old slave has no surname and first name, and there is no one at home."

"Then your name is Huang Xi." Huang Xuan let go of his hand and said, "Clean up a room for me, and then you come here, and I'll ask you something."

"Yes." Although Huang Xuan didn't have a title yet, giving a surname to a servant was quite an honor. Huang Xi quickly agreed, and sent two maids with low brows and pleasing eyes to send Huang Xuan to the room. He also handed over the deed to Huang Xuan. Kneel down and salute.

The master bedroom is a suite of more than 30 square meters, and the outer room is a small room for servants. Two maids are busy making beds for Huang Xuan. Pour water, Huang Xuan walked around the Warring States bedroom curiously, the room was very dark, there were no tables or stools, and the water cup was bronze. It smells like metal.

After a while, Huang Xi hunched over and walked in on his knees. Huang Xuan's house was well-regulated, and he had never seen such a thing. He smiled wryly and said, "Get up and sit there."

Huang Xi agreed. But still kneeling, Huang Xuan stopped talking, but said, "Where is the market you know?"

"It's in the market outside the east gate of the city."

"Are there cattle, poor horses, pigs and sheep for sale?"

Huang Xi thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, most of the farm cattle belong to the state, and most of the poor horses have been collected in the past two years. Someone is selling them." He said, carefully looked up at Huang Xuan, and said "If your majesty is thinking about spring plowing at the end of the year, you can first ask the government to borrow cattle and horses." A horse is a horse that plows the fields with heavy loads, and it is a pig, the so-called livestock of chickens, pigs, and dogs.

"Your Majesty's name sounds pretty good." Huang Xuan smiled and said, "I have some grain, you can go to the market to sell it tomorrow, and then pick up healthy animals and bring them home. You might do well."

In the family, the head of the household is usually referred to as the monarch. And if it is outside, the title of "Jun" must be approved by Zhao Guo's "Imperial Conference" before it can take effect. Famous places such as Lord Mengchang and Lord Xinling are all famous and big figures.

But with Huang Xuan's head, he couldn't figure out the difference. After all, they are people from two eras. In fact, even if two doctoral professors are sent from the 21st century, the central government officials in some countries, and the rest are blinded, and the classics are almost burned. It's pathetic to know.

Huang Xi only dared to look at Huang Xuan, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes."

He answered first, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "If your majesty wants to buy a lot of livestock, you can ask the merchants in the market to have a look. They all have a lot of cattle and horses."

Most of Zhao’s livestock and grain businesses are now businessmen from various countries. Although Qi refused to lend grain to Zhao because he was dissatisfied with Zhao’s diplomatic sway, neither Qi nor Chu would prohibit merchants from coming to Zhao. transactions, and the rise in food prices during this period has even boosted the speed of the merchants.

Huang Xuan patted his forehead and said, "Then you can find some people tomorrow, and I'll talk about it after I ask." He reckoned that Zhao Guojun and his ministers will have new military operations in the past two days, and there are not many days when he can be free. There are too many, so he urged: "Go early tomorrow morning, don't waste time."

Huang Xuan immediately lowered his head to the ground, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

...

Grain for livestock is exactly the Warring States version of oil for food. At this time, many means of production belong to the state, especially cattle. Of course, those big landlords always have some cattle and horses in their homes, but not many are willing to sell them. , but Zhao Guo is close to the Xiongnu, so there is always no shortage of livestock.

People in the Warring States ate the most meat and dogs. Until the Han Dynasty, butchers were all accused of killing dogs. Every time Zhang Yi slaughtered more dogs, Fan Kuai was also such a profession before he followed Liu Bang.

However, Huang Xuan is not picky about anything, r001 is an entire plane.+. The meaning of the day, their r001's sphere of influence should cover a lot of people who always eat dog meat.

Huang Xuan brought 12,000 tons of grain, 1 shi per 30 kilograms, that's 400,000 shi, not to mention the corn spices and the like, if it's all sold as grain, it's 3600 yuan, you can buy a cow, or 18,000 pigs, judging from the price of the latter, is 20 more than what he bought when he bought grain. If it is used to exchange for cattle, it will obviously be a bit of a loss.

Judging by the price of grain, Zhao’s knife coins can almost reach a 1:1 ratio with RMB, but if you look at the circulation, it is not the case at all. During the last period of the Warring States period, the total number of copper coins issued by various countries was only 280 , 36 million yuan is enough to be among the richest people in Dazhao.

Of course, Huang Xuan wouldn't be able to bring out so much food at one time, but the market was originally the most sensitive machine. From the early morning of the next day, Huang Xuan suddenly found that he was crowded with people again.

It really is a market.

Merchants from Qi State, merchants from Yan State, envoys from Chu State, and even agents from the Huns, in the past few years. Large-scale grain transactions have almost come to a standstill. The sudden emergence of so much food is simply exciting.

Soon, the envoy of King Zhao arrived.

steal a smile. Pretending to be busy, he said coldly: "I am now your king?"

The envoy stared, and all the merchants present stopped, looked at Huang Xuan again, but said with a smile: "My king has something important to discuss, and Xuanzi just wants to see him. I will help you clean up."

"Then you all listen to Huang Xi." Huang Xuan shouted, "Huang Xi, they are all your subordinates."

The envoy immediately collapsed instead of following his face.

...

—.

Zhao Wang stroked the jade around his waist with his hand, his face was as calm as water.

All the ministers in the hall were thinking about their own things, or bowed their heads in meditation, or closed their eyes to meditate, or lightly stroked their beards. Or wandering outside, in the huge palace, there is only the sound of breathing, like a group of goldfish who have eaten enough.

The sound of cowhide stomping on the ground sounded. Only the imperial guards have such equipment, and Lian Po's eyes that were originally closed opened suddenly.

as a general. He believed in gods, but he didn't believe that ghosts and gods would really appear. This is somewhat like the belief of later generations, but it is much simpler and simpler.

But Huang Xuan, obviously gave him a great shock, especially when Zhao Guo was alive or dead.

Strictly speaking, Lian Po can only be regarded as an excellent general. His ability is not commensurate with his reputation. Therefore, even if Huang Xuan told him that Bai Qi was facing him, what are they doing now and what are they going to do? Faced with such an unfavorable situation today, it is difficult for him to do anything.

The Battle of Changping was a typical national strategic battle. When the strategic intention was achieved, no amount of victories could make up for it.

Therefore, Zhao Guo at this time may really only be saved by God.

Zhao Wang's hand stroked faster and faster, until the jade pendant became hot, and he stopped in surprise.

"My lord." Huang Xuan's voice was stretched and clear, as if answering questions in class.

King Zhao collected himself, in front of this "businessman" who was younger than himself, he lost his innate sense of superiority, which made him extremely uncomfortable, but he had to endure it. Looking at the floor under the dragon chair in a daze, Zhao Wangdan said in a low voice: "Mr. Pingyuan, explain to Xuanzi."

"Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng?" Huang Xuan asked Lorraine uncertainly, he had seen this person in the materials.

"That's right, the fourth son of the Warring States Period." Lorraine gave an affirmative answer.

Mr. Pingyuan is at least 50 years old, but his black hair is fluttering, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is very classy. He is the younger brother of King Huiwen and the uncle of Zhao Wangdan. A disciple who went to Chu State for help.

This is a legendary figure who was dismissed three times and restored three times. He is one of the few well-known figures in the Warring States Period.

He never came to regular meetings, and Huang Xuan didn't see him yesterday.

Zhao Sheng sat on the table elegantly, bowed his body, and said: "We think your judgment is correct, so I would like to ask you how to solve the current predicament."

It is very simple and direct, but it is indeed an attitude of solving problems. In some occasions, such a gesture is made by a superior, and it does have the effect of making people feel good.

Huang Xuan's eyes greeted him with a nod and a smile, which made him a little embarrassed, and said: "In the current situation, except that Zhao Jun has run out of food, both sides have lost quite a lot. I feel that breaking the siege of Changping is the top priority."

Saying is tantamount to not saying, incisive Chinese-style answer.

Mr. Pingyuan still humbly said: "Then how to break the siege of Changping?"

Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't understand military affairs, but I can send ten thousand stones of grain to Zhao Kuo's army, and the rest will depend on your efforts."

Although 10,000 shi is only enough to feed 40 troops for a day, it has a huge effect on alleviating the food shortage. Moreover, if it is saved enough, it is not impossible to persist for a few more days.

"That's it, I have to thank Xuan Zi." It seems that Huang Xuan's answer has long been expected by Zhao Guojun and his ministers, but Zhao Wangdan is still very happy, and said: "So, what reward does Xuan Zi want?" He still couldn't say a deal. this phrase.

Huang Xuan raised three fingers with a smile on his face and said, "I can send food to Zhao Kuojun, but I have three requirements."

"Please tell me." Mr. Pingyuan sat up straight seriously.

"First, my business in Zhao State cannot be affected."

"Of course, noble servants can trade at will in Dongshi, but the number of farm cattle bought and sold must be limited." Huang Xuan's transaction, to a certain extent, is of great benefit to alleviating Zhao's food shortage, after all No matter how delicious pork is, you can't stay hungry. In history, after the end of the Changping War, Zhao Jing was very hungry.

"It's fine if you don't have farming cattle." Huang Xuan liked the scramble in the negotiation, he put down a finger and said: "Secondly, I want to make a deal with your country."

"oh?"

"I know that Mr. Pingyuan himself, including Mr. Pingyuan, has a lot of livestock, cattle, horses, and silk in his family. I am willing to exchange food for it, which can also alleviate the crisis in your country. I hope Mr. Pingyuan can set an example. However, no matter Will the price in the market go up or down, the price of grain is 2 yuan for a stone of cattle and horses, and 2,000 yuan for sheep, is it okay?"

When there is more grain on the market, the price will naturally drop, but for Zhao Guo, such a thing is fair, besides, it is not known whether Mr. Pingyuan and others understand such economic laws, so Zhao Sheng immediately slowed down. Lowering his face, he said, "Okay."

After Bai Qi slaughtered all the Zhao people in Changping, during the siege, Mr. Pingyuan generously donated money, used his house to support the defenders, and ordered concubines to mend sergeants. For Zhao Sheng, who has a better reputation, it is just equal. Buying and selling is nothing.

What's more, to alleviate Zhao Kuo's danger, we need to send more soldiers. These all need food, and Huang Xuan's suggestion is beneficial to both parties.

At this time, Huang Xuan raised his middle finger and said to Zhao Guojun and his ministers: "The last one, in return for helping Da Zhao, if I take back the Shangdang, or even enter the Qin state, I must have the right of first purchase of all items."

Two or three sentences explained what the right of first refusal is. Zhao Wangdan clapped his hands on the table and said, "I promise you." Nothing is easier to sell than future rights and interests. .
