Chapter 399 Famous in the World

At the court, the emperor has also been paying attention to the relief work in Nanyang.

Song Mo received the victory report sent by Zhang Xian in an expedited manner.

After reading the victory report, he felt that God had blessed Dali and that he was destined to be the one. That was why Dali had so many talents and Nanyang could quickly settle down after the earthquake.

At this time, Song Mo was extremely satisfied with Zhang Xian. He decided that as long as Zhang Xian returned to Chang'an, he would promote him! And he must be promoted twice!

In fact, not only the emperor's eyes fell on Nanyang, but also the eyes of some knowledgeable people.

Because the Nanyang earthquake this time had different political significance. Moreover, Nanyang was the county with the largest population and suffered a wide range of disasters. After the earthquake, there were also unscrupulous businessmen who jointly raised the price of grain.

At first, almost everyone agreed that after the earthquake, even if the court allocated relief grain, Nanyang would still be in a mess and would not be able to recover for a few years.

However, they did not expect that Nanyang would stabilize so quickly without the court investing too much in supplies. After all, once the grain price is stable, the people will be stable.

Surprised, they could not help but find out the reason. After digging deeper, they found that the reason why the grain price in Nanyang could be stable was that the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce, which was composed of black-hearted merchants, was defeated by the alliance formed by the Ji family and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

Hmm? Let's take a look at how the Ji Liao Alliance did it?

At this glance, they found that the Ji Liao Alliance was something.

After further research, I always felt that the dilemma in Nanyang was solved too well.

In particular, the game between the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce and the Ji Liao Alliance was too exciting and classic.

The wise men were trying to interpret the mystery.

Ordinary people only felt that Ji Wuyin's method was becoming more and more mysterious.

But those top smart people realized from the allies of the Ji family this time that there were masters in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

After all, Ji Wuyin, as the richest man in the South, has lived for most of his life and has many allies to choose from. Why is their ally this time the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce? Not someone else?

The real reason may be that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce chose to form an alliance with the Ji family business, rather than the Ji family choosing the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

There is another reason: a person's ability and direction can be traced, and the means shown in the game between the Liaoji Alliance and the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce this time are not like what Ji Wuyin has used in the past.

This battle in Nanyang was the first time that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce became famous in the world and entered the vision of the upper class for the first time.

The battle in Nandi does not count. That time they were more walking in the dark, and only showed their faces when they transported grain to the north with more than 20,000 disaster victims. It is better for the Ji family business in Nanyang to continue to brush up its prestige.

Later, with the establishment of the new dynasty, the grain price war after the earthquake in Nanyang became a classic case for future reference and analysis.

Prince Cheng's fiefdom

When the news of the collapse of the Yuzhou Grain Merchants Association and the death of Che Jiu Ming came, Prince Cheng Song Yuan smashed the cup in his hand, "This Che Jiu Ming is really useless!"

His trusted aide Dong Jichuan comforted him, "There is nothing we can do about it, his opponent is too powerful."

He knew that Prince Cheng was eager to succeed once and vent the anger accumulated in his heart.

After the death of the previous emperor, Prince Cheng returned to Chang'an, and then was detained in Chang'an.

It was not until two months ago that Song Mo was allowed to leave Chang'an and return to his fiefdom after he had been on the throne for more than half a year and had completely secured the throne.

During this period of time, he suffered a lot.

The words of his trusted aides made Prince Cheng unwilling, "Song Mo is really lucky."

After Song Mo ascended the throne, disasters occurred frequently. First, there was the danger of the Xianbei going south, followed by floods in the south, and then there was an earthquake in Nanyang...

No matter which one, if it is not handled well, it is enough to make Song Mo lose face and even cause unrest.

But Song Mo was lucky. Every time he was in a crisis, there were capable people to help him solve it.

Dong Jichuan had a different view on this point.

He could read faces and astrology. Two or three months ago, the inverted star sign of the Milky Way was clearly a sign of the beginning of troubled times. The frequent disasters in Dali over the past year were one of the signs.

The perfect solution to these disasters and crises was not necessarily because Song Mo was lucky. It was the last era of the dynasty, when heroes emerged in large numbers. The last fortune of the era allowed this land to breed countless amazing talents.

As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times.

…

Before Zhang Xian returned to Chang'an, he introduced Wu Ren and Young Master Ji to Weng Yuan.

On the day of the introduction, Chen Jinshui followed him.

Wu Ren and Chen Jinshui met and exchanged a tacit look.

Wu Ren thought, hey, they are all family members.

Young Master Ji had never seen Chen Jinshui before. Seeing him following Zhang Xian, he looked at him twice more.

Wu Ren actually wanted to ask Chen Jinshui if he was happy to receive two salaries.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Xian set off for Chang'an, and Chen Jinshui accompanied him.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to Chang'an, Zhang Xian was thinking about how to write the memorial to ask for merit.

After Zhang Xian left, Xie Zhan did not stay for long. He asked Xie Nan, Xie Bai and others to escort part of the grain back to the south: and asked Gu Huaisheng to stay. At this time, many foreign grain merchants were lingering in Nanyang, so he asked Gu Sheng to stay and see if there was anything.

Xie Zhan himself took Lu Fei to Linchuan County. There was a great talent in Linchuan County, and he wanted to recruit him. Lu Fei's maternal grandfather, the Ruan family, was a famous and wealthy family in Linchuan County. He felt that it would be much cheaper to borrow this relationship.

Xie Zhan figured it out during his time in Runan. While Lü Songli was still trapped in Liaodong County, he recruited more talents and was able to walk freely outside. This was his advantage.

Liaodong County

The victory was certain. The victory report was sent from Luoyang to Qingzhou at the fastest speed, and then from Qingzhou to Liaodong County by water.

At this time, the victory report had already reached Lü Songli. At this time, Ji Wuyin and others were still floating on the water.

Lü Songli read the victory report at a glance, his eyes sparkling, after all, their expected goal in Nanyang had been achieved.

Lü Desheng: "Victory report from Nanyang?" He noticed that the person who sent the letter just now was from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

Lü Songli handed the victory report in her hand to her father, "Yes, the situation in Nanyang is a foregone conclusion. Ji Wuyin has returned, and Wu Ren and Ji Changnian will stay in Nanyang for a while."

Lü Desheng saw from the victory report that they actually earned 1.8 million shi of grain in the battle of Nanyang! Even if they split it equally with Ji Wuyin, they can still get 900,000 shi.

"My daughter, that's a lot of grain!" Lu Desheng counted on his fingers. According to the current general market, one dou of grain is about 170 to 180 wen, which means that if converted into silver, they have earned at least 1.5 million taels?

Oh my God, they only invested 3 million yuan, and now they have made a net profit of half, 50% profit!

"Not much. This time we have mobilized a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. We deserve this fruitful result."

Lu Desheng glanced at his daughter, who had a big vision.

"Moreover, we still need to pay a sum of money to the Cao Gang." Lu Songli reminded, "Don't forget, we still have to leave 800,000 shi of grain in Nanyang to maintain a stable grain price."

"It should be given, thanks to the cooperation of the Cao Gang this time." Lu Desheng heard his daughter's words and knew that he had overestimated, but if calculated by grain, they must have earned 900,000 shi of grain.

"Well, Nanyang is done, and the next thing is to look at Chang'an."
