Chapter 211 Xie Lian was listening to the remarks of several heads of aristocratic families at this time and didn't know what to does it mean to give more support to the underachievers?What does it mean to give our Jiangnan family more opportunities? Let Xie Lian listen to the clouds and fog, is there anything he can't say clearly? Maybe the father-in-law couldn't bear the stupidity of his son-in-law, so he coughed and said: "Ahem! Zizheng has taken root in Chang'an now, but after all, we are from Jiangdong. If we have the opportunity, we can give more to the young people in our hometown." The opportunity will help you in the officialdom in the future, right?"
Got it, got it all.
Xie Lian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "You guys probably understand what you mean, but what can I, a small county magistrate, do? Even in my current position, Your Majesty saw my nephew in Mingzhouhai. There are some connections in the business, so I was thought of, how can I help you?"
Among the people who came this time was Gu Yanzhi, the governor of shook his head. He knew something about Xie Lian. To be honest, he was a bit pedantic.
Normally, such a person would not be taken seriously by the court, but who allowed him to meet a noble person?
What products do Mingzhou maritime merchants want most when they come to Datang?Besides silk, tea, and with several other commodities, perfume occupies the smallest area, has the highest value, and is also the most in demand overseas.
However, Datang has always sold perfume in limited quantities before. Even if some openings are now relaxed, it is still a drop in the bucket and cannot meet the needs of those people at all.
Moreover, perfume is still a consumable product. Each bottle only contains so much, and it can only be used for a few months at most.
For the rich and powerful who are already accustomed to using perfume, the days without perfume are like a year! It wasn't bad before. Everyone has the same smell, so don't blame it's different now. They don't dare to go out for parties without perfume to cover their odor.
Even if he went there, everyone else would smell good, but he would smell strange. How could he endure this? As a result, there is now an obsession with perfumes all over the foreign women and nobles simply cannot live without perfume.
Xie Lian was able to open up Mingzhou Port so quickly because of the help of those maritime merchants. Otherwise, why would they abandon their original place and come here to trade?
It's not the person behind Xie Lian, that is, the Marquis Hao who controls the source of the entire perfume trade. They are all heading there. If they don't give Xie Lian face, they don't give Ji Song face.
If you don’t give face to Hao Jie Hou, then you still want to continue to participate in the dividends of the perfume trade?Stop dreaming, don’t even think about it.
Even if Hao Jiehou ignores you and disdains your general knowledge, there are still many people who want to please Hao Jiehou.
In order to get a piece of this big cake, many people want to use you to show your favor to the good prince.
Under such circumstances, who wouldn't give Xie Lian face? Gu Yanzhi can be regarded as a mid- to high-level official of the Tang Dynasty. He knows more about some of Ji Song's deeds than others.
Don't look down on it, it seems that there are not many people in Hao Yuhou's family, and there is no one who can take look at the people behind him?
The teacher was Li Gang, a great scholar of the time, and Princess Pingyang cared for Ji Song even more. She almost dismantled the Ministry of Industry for Ji Song. Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Not to mention the emperor's preference for him, this is something everyone knows and there is nothing to say.
There are many top nobles of the Tang Dynasty who are friends with him. As long as he and others get on this line, then the Jiangnan family, which has fallen into decline, will have a ticket to enter the center of officialdom again.
Speaking of this, it is also related to the preference of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty for the Jiangnan family. He regarded Jiangnan as his own private territory. When he felt that Chang'an and the Central Plains were unsafe, he immediately ran to Jiangnan.
As early as when Yang Guang was still the king of Jin, he had been operating in Jiangnan for ten the process of competing for the throne with Prince Yang Yong, he had made a plan with his confidant Guo Yan. If the big thing failed, he would retreat to the south of the Yangtze River to restore the old ways of Liang and Chen.
Queen Xiao is a descendant of the Liang Kingdom, and Yang Guang can speak Wu , in Yang Guang's heart, Jiangnan is his hometown.
Yang Guang killed all the ministers who dared to persuade him to go south, and arrived in Jiangdu without hesitation.
However, after arriving in Jiangdu, he did not plan to make a comeback. Instead, he became more debauched, choosing beautiful women, building palaces, and immersing himself in the sensuality and pleasure.
The life at that time can be seen from his poem "Spring River with Flowers and Night Moon": "The river is flat at dusk, but the spring flowers are in full bloom. The moon is gone by the flowing waves, and the stars are brought by the tide."
But even so, he still reused Jiangnan officials and never treated them badly, but he still couldn't win over them.
Even if you don't want to do anything for Yang Guang, that's all. It's okay to just sit back and watch. After all, the Sui Dynasty is about to be finished. If you continue on this broken ship, everyone will have to finish it.
But how did the Jiangnan family show its preference for Yang Guang?
After knowing that the Sui Dynasty was over, he abandoned Yang Guang without hesitation.
Some people even added insult to injury and did not deserve Yang Guang's trust at all.
How many years has it been since this happened?There are not a few people alive today who experienced that turmoil, and they all remember these things! Under such circumstances, who dares to reuse Jiangnan Family? No one dares!
Back then, some people sold Yang Guang completely for the sake of small profits. Who would dare to reuse you like this? Who knows if you will stab yourself in the back when you are in trouble? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court has not paid much attention to Jiangnan! First, there was basically no resistance from Jiangnan. Although there were Du Fuwei, Xiao Xian and others, who was Du Fuwei?
He was a serious bandit leader, and he turned the whole Jiangnan upside down. Xiao Xian was basically a soy sauce character, and was destroyed by Li Yuan in no time.
The court finally found that Jiangnan was too easy to fight, right?Before he could really do anything, he was defeated.
In this situation, what do you want Li Yuan and the nobles of the Tang Dynasty to think? People always like to bully those who are worthless and easy to bully, because they don’t have to worry about you rebelling after being bullied! Even if you rebel, you can easily be beaten down. How can you let people take you seriously in this situation? Therefore, after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, when everyone lined up to divide the fruits, basically nothing happened to the Jiangnan family!
In addition to Xiao Yu becoming Li Tang's important minister from the beginning, that's because he has good taste!
The Jiangnan Family took a look and thought, come on, this has nothing to do with us, right?Okay, just wait for me!
As a result, news of Fu Gongyou's rebellion came out in Jiangnan. This shocked the newly established Tang Dynasty and wondered if it would bring some benefits to the Jiangnan family? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a big deal if it was always noisy! But before giving benefits, shouldn’t we give it a good beating?Otherwise, you would think I have a good temper!
I'll post it tomorrow depending on the situation. Why did I post ten chapters last night when I was drunk?My archive!Ahhhhhhh
