Vol 5 Chapter 141: Han Dynasty Business Practices

Chapter 141 Business Practices of the Great Han Dynasty
The sandalwood bracelets on Yunlang's wrists have been illuminated by the oil shine he played, and a little rotation will have a mysterious oil shine.
This kind of light is generally called treasure light.
Therefore, if a thing wants to be a treasure, it is indispensable with its own unique light.
For example, gold, pearls, gems, jade, diamonds, etc.
The luminous cup can emit a slight glare at night, and it will soon become a treasure of a new variety.
This cup is made of Qilian Mountain jade, mostly dark green, the advantage is that the quality is very constant, it will not burst when it is high temperature, and it will be safe when it is cold, so it is best to use it for warming wine.
Since Huo Qiayi defeated the Huns in Hexi, the Hexi road was opened. The first person to use this passage was not an army but a businessman.
It is strange to say that jade is just a good-looking stone in other places. In Dahan, because of the culture that has been handed down since ancient times, and because of the excessive preference for jade by the ancestors of the Han family, this thing became a fancy goods with high value.
Because these caravans carry a large amount of jade into the customs, a small pass not far from Yangguan already has a new name-Yumenguan!
However, Yangguan, a military fortress that is obviously much larger than Yumenguan, can only be aggrieved because it is located on the sunny side of Yumenguan and is called Yangguan.
From this point of view, people seem to prefer commercial activities to military activities.
Groups of camel passengers carried jade from Yumenguan to the Hexi Corridor. They carried a worthless jade in the Western Regions to the Guanzhong after a long journey, and those stones will bloom in the hands of Han craftsmen.
Jade is very popular among Han people.
Of course, the most important thing is to use it as a ritual. From the emperor to the emperor, you need to carve the jade into jade jade, jade jade, jade rice and other rituals. .
Thus, the jade has a divinity.
Because of the divine nature, it is naturally precious, and because of its preciousness, his commercial value is also reflected, and it is the first kind of value that humans have produced since they understood the importance of the rite. In ancient times, jade can be exchanged for precious food and women.
The most frightening thing is that the Han people's requirements for jade never seem to end. No matter how many Kunlun jade enters the Han state, they will be consumed cleanly, and there will never be any extra time.
This is not in line with the commercial law. After the Han people got the jade and jade, the first idea they produced was collection, not sale. Therefore, everyone who got the jade and jade is actually the last receiver.
Liu Che ’s palace was filled with the most big jade and the best jade and jade. He did n’t like heavy bronzes or rough pottery. As for lacquerware, he always felt that the thing had a taste.
If it wasn't for Yunshi to burn out the porcelain, his daily necessities were basically all jade.
After the princes died, they would cover their whole bodies with gold jade clothes, and still remember to put special jade articles in their mouths, nostrils, ears, and even to ensure their immortality.
The Yunlong North Expedition also shouldered the task of making some cheap jade for the palace ministers.
For example, Nian Gao De Shao ’s old child thief, who wants to get an plug so that he can die later.
I don't know what the old thief's body structure looks like. He needs a hundred pieces of jade to make plugs in one breath ...
Of course, Erkuan ’s original words were not like this. His original words said:
Gentlemen are like jade, and old age cannot become gentlemen ’s jade. Why not use jade to decorate the coffins used after death ...

The gold jade clothes are not wide enough to wear, but when he died, there were only family members. Who knew he would wear them?
Anyway, it will be buried in the soil, and only tomb thieves will be able to see one or two in the future.
The famous Changsha king Liu Yong was also a heavy favorite of jade wares. His father Changsha Dingwang Liu Fa died only during the year of Yuan Shuo.
That is, the owner of the Changsha Royal Palace, which was often patronized by Cao Xiang. He died, and all the unlawful things that happened in the Changsha Kingdom were cancelled by the Emperor, and the Changsha Kingdom became a peaceful country.
However, the consequences are still serious. They have lost their right to rule over the kingdom, leaving only the power to enjoy part of the taxation of the country. After Liu Che disposes of his younger brother Liu Fa, the county-level officials in Changsha are all court Appointed.
A wealthy feudal prince, his king had nothing to do except for his extravagance and desperation, so the boring Liu Yong fell in love with jade and tombs.
He built fifty-three suspense mounds for his father Liu Fa, which is considered to have inherited the style of Zhongxiao from their family.
It's just that the jade is used more, and I don't know what method Liu Yong used to get in touch with Cao Xiang. This time, Cao Xiang wants to get fifty cars of jade for him!
This was obviously a promise given after drunkenness ... but Cao Xiangfei had to fulfill this promise. I do n’t know the reason. Just looking at the sincere words in Cao Xiang ’s letter, Yun Lang had to grind his teeth to recognize it.
As for the strange demands of the heavy ministers of North Korea and China, there are countless others. Gillian, Wei, Changping also have requirements, and the number is quite large.
Prepared for them, the emperor's share can only be more or less. If you count it, there will be no way to explain if there are less than a thousand cars.
When I think of Yunlang, I can't wait to pull my hair away. God knows what those people need so many jade stoppers for! !
"Jade Law" was issued under this background ... As long as the jade caravan passing through Hexi, 30% of the jade must be paid to the government as the entry fee.
This commercial road is so prosperous that in half a month, Ganzhou Chengguan has received a large amount of jade.
The room was filled with uncut jade, and the appearance looked unremarkable, not much different from a pile of pebbles.
But that's it. Sima Qian and Dongfang Shuo lay on a pile of stones. Look carefully at one stone at a time.
At this time, the two noble literati disappeared. Their sleeves were heavy, and God knew how much jade was installed.
After the installation, there was still a face standing across from Yun Lang with a pained face: "Monarch, so cleverly taking the hero to lose the face of the great Han Guo!"
Yun Lang pretended not to see the jade stones of the two men with two sleeves, picked up the teapot and sipped the tea ceremony: "Do you think these Hu people easily use these stones to exchange the various productions of my country, do you think it is reasonable?
Jinzhuyubei ca n’t eat hunger or drink thirsty, but can change our silk, lacquer ware, gold iron, tea, paper, pen and ink. If I do n’t limit the number of jade stones in Guanzhong, we know how long we have to eat! "
Sima Qian may feel that the sleeves are heavy, and he put the heavy sleeves on the desk case with a loud clang and said to Yun Lang: "This is useless, and it will only make the price of jade in Guanzhong soar, and the Han Dynasty will suffer even more!"
Yun Lang sighed and picked up a piece of jade that leaked from Sima Qian's sleeve from the table: "Yan fat white jade ..."
Sima Qian grabbed the jade in Yunlang's hand and continued to ask: "Hurry up, your" Jade Law "makes no sense."
"Can you put away the white jade in your sleeve and press Zhang Tang's tone to ask me to succeed?"
Sima Qian smiled and said: "I took my pension."
"I remember your salaries when you left Changan, Your Majesty paid you one year.
Still double! "
Dongfang Shuo playing with a crystal-clear jade seed said: "This is a pouch!"
Yun Lang reluctantly said: "The people who can sell jade stone ~ EbookFREE.me ~ don't care about paying a little more money, since it is a luxury product, then set the price high and completely isolate ordinary people from this thing. Association.
Moreover, I think this thing must be regulated, otherwise it will really draw our blood from my country.
To be honest, only things that can be produced on the land of the Han Dynasty are really good things, such as this one! "
Yun Lang held a piece of Qilian Yudun under the table while talking.
Having just seen the countless superb white jade of Dongfangshuo, Sima Qian looked at the green jade stone in front of him, and then said with a lip: "Stone?"
Yun Lang smiled and took out a few round jade cups from under the table, saying: "Grape wine wine luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately reminder, drunk lying on the battlefield Jun Mo laughed, ancient came to fight a few people back!"
"His ..." Sima Qian took a breath with Qi Dongfang Shuo Qi, learning with his two talents, it is easy to distinguish the meaning of the four sentences just now.
"The sentence is a good sentence, but this thing is still a stone!"
This sentence proves that the two have not only a literary vision but also a commercial vision.
Yun Lang was helpless, and a string of yellow rosewood beads dropped from his wrist and placed in front of them: "This thing is now cheaper than gold!"
Sima Qian looked at the beads, then looked at the luminous cup, and gathered the white jade in the sleeve, twisting a few beards under his jaw. "Do you want to make a baby again?"
Yun Lang nodded and said: "Any good foreign things need to find substitutes in the country as soon as possible. If it is a seed, we will try it. If it is something made by a craftsman, we will imitate it. If it is an irreplaceable thing, we He must be slandered and make him completely worthless.
This is the means by which my great Han kingdom communicates with foreign countries! "
