Chapter 1305 Lu Yongyan is a prepared person

Helping others is the foundation of happiness, this is what Zhang Shi believes in.

Now Lu Yongyan wants to go to the Pure Land of Bliss. As a good boss of Song Dynasty, that Zhang Zhi feels that he needs to help him, step on the accelerator, and speed him up to the tomb.

So Zhang Shi smiled and said, "You are well-informed and know that someone is planning to run away."

"It's strange that no one wants to run. I heard people say that during the war a few days ago, some people ran to Goryeo, and some people went to Japan. I thought that if they could run, they would go to these places. It's better to run."

Lu Yongyan smiled and said in a low voice, "Where are you going to go? If you don't give up, I'm willing to continue to follow you. Anyway, when we get to those places, we'd better work together to overcome difficulties, what do you think?"

Are you really willing to follow me?
Get through it with me?

Zhang Shi almost didn't laugh.

But as a double spy of the Ming Dynasty and the Renaissance Society, he felt that he was a professional. Unless he couldn't help it, he would never laugh, or at least not laugh out loud.

So he resisted the urge to laugh in his heart and pretended to be regretful.

"My father died for the country. As his son, how can I abandon the country and run for my life alone? I can't do such a thing, so I decided to stick to it until the last moment."

"Ah? This..."

Lu Yongyan's face was full of disbelief: "You want to stay? Are you really not going to leave? Master, it's not what I said, this city of Hangzhou is by no means a good place. Although your family has no wealth, you are still a high-ranking official. , will inevitably be liquidated by the Ming Kingdom."

"When a country falls, someone has to stand up and save the last bit of face for it."

Zhang Shi pretended to sigh and smiled gently: "But don't worry, if you want to leave, I will arrange for you in advance, you and Shen Xianggong go to Gaoli Kingdom together, even if there is a problem in the future, you can still Escape to Japan, and everything will be arranged for you anyway."

Lu Yongyan was grateful for this, but still felt incredible.

"Are you serious? Why? If you want to stay, someone will naturally stay. You are a privy envoy, how can you stay and come from the net? I think this is completely unnecessary."

"When the country fell in all dynasties, there were loyal people who sacrificed their lives for the country. If not, this country would be too desolate, and my generation of scholars and officials would also be ridiculed by future generations. Therefore, the Song Dynasty... Let me do it."

Zhang Shi let out a long sigh and said, "My generation of scholars and officials are deeply favored by the country. If the country is in crisis, if we don't care about fleeing everywhere, what will future history books say about us? How will future generations treat us?"

Lu Yongyan never thought that Zhang Shi would have such an idea, and he sighed in his heart, while also calling Zhang Shi a fool.

Everyone who wants to repay the country's favor is just talking for fun, what kind of favor?
The civil servants took the exam by themselves, and Hao Shou suffered a lot.

Military attachés are also spelled out by themselves, either on the battlefield to fight for their lives, or pay bribes to Shangguan.

It's all about my own efforts, what a fart Guoen!
Aren't there just a few idiots who died serving the country in all dynasties?Even if the few who died will be touched after they die, aren't most of them still alive and well?

To live is the most important thing, to live has everything, to be a person is not easy, who wants to die!

He always thought that Zhang Shi should be an official who knew how to be flexible, and he should have some opinions on flexibility. After all, wasn't his father Zhang Jun killed just to repay the country's kindness?
It was ordered to be killed by Emperor Song himself, and he was killed as a privy envoy, setting a precedent.

Lao Tzu was already an idiot, but his son was an idiot among idiots. He didn't want to take revenge for his father, but he actually had to die for the country.

This family of two fathers and sons, two generations of idiots, your Zhang family has never ceased to have descendants, and my surname is yours!

Lu Yongyan doesn't care so much, he doesn't want the army, and with the Ming Dynasty instructor there, he can't guarantee that the army can still listen to him now.

Right now, as long as you make sure that the personal soldiers still listen to him, the personal soldiers are all supported by him. Safe.

It is not easy for him to save money as an officer these years.

When his position was not high, he relied on eating soldiers' meat and drinking soldiers' blood, and worked hard to save a sum of money. When his position was high, many people gave him money, and he would spend most of the money he got. Save it for your wife.

In order to facilitate running away, Lu Yongyan divided his years of savings into two parts.

Part of it is still copper coins, which are packed in jars and jars and ready to be taken away. Copper coins in the Southern Song Dynasty are hard currency in East Asia and Southeast Asia and can be used. Many countries recognize this, so you need to hold some.

The other part is exchanged for other value-preserving goods, such as gold and silver, copper utensils and Shu brocade, etc., to reduce the space occupied and facilitate transportation and running.

As for the family's house and a batch of real estate, Lu Yongyan is also very forward-looking and arranges to sell it after getting it, and the money from the sale is also handled in two parts.

So at this tense moment, Lu Yongyan is actually one of the most prepared people.

As the saying goes, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and Lu Yongyan is the one who is prepared.

Of course, Lu Yongyan is definitely not the only one who is prepared, there will always be many smart people, and there will always be many people with strong action.

As the news of the imminent completion of the Yellow River diversion project in the Ming Dynasty spread in Hangzhou, a considerable number of military officers and civilians began to act.

As a result, in March and April of the eighth year of Hongwu, there was a short period of prosperity in the commercial trading market in Hangzhou City. Many high-quality commercial resources were released, and the sale and transfer prices were very low, with a lot of discounts. It makes people feel that as long as you buy it, you will definitely make money.

However, after several rounds of war and the brutal exploitation of the Hangzhou court for survival, almost no one in Hangzhou has the money to buy these high-quality commercial resources.

The rich are all bureaucrats and their own people are ready to make money. Who will take the blame at this time?
As a result, few local people are willing to buy these originally high-quality commercial resources.

But there is a group of people who are willing to buy it.

A businessman with Ming background.

There is of course a reason for all this.

After the signing of the peace treaty of the Second Ming-Song War, the commercial market of the entire Jiangnan Kingdom was forced to be fully opened to the Ming Kingdom. The merchants of the Ming Kingdom could purchase and independently operate any commercial stores located in the Jiangnan Kingdom, and the Jiangnan Kingdom officials could not impose restrictions.

In addition, the Jiangnan government cannot suppress taxation, and it must be maintained within a reasonable range, and this range needs to be jointly negotiated by the Jiangnan government and the Central Capital court.

In short, the Jiangnan government does not have the final decision on a series of related taxes that Ming merchants need to pay to do business in Jiangnan, and the decision is actually in the hands of Ming.

In order to protect its own country's power over capital, the Ming Dynasty will of course force Jiangnan to set extremely low taxes on Ming capital, and there are even quite a few tax-exempt links.

And all this, Jiangnan's local private business is not available.

Therefore, in this link, the production cost of commodities under the control of the Ming national team was greatly reduced, forming an absolute price advantage over the local commodities in Jiangnan, which resulted in the phenomenon of large-scale dumping of commodities in Jiangnan.

Except for salt, the financial lifeline of the Hangzhou court, which remained closed, almost all other businesses were opened by the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the advanced production system of the Ming Dynasty showed great advantages.

A large number of commodities produced by Ming Guo workshops through a scientific and reasonable assembly line model have considerable advantages in price. The high-quality and cheap cloth, farm implements, pots, pans, spoons and other normal commodities that the common people need very much have begun to be dumped on a large scale. Jiangnan.

In a very short period of time, the high-quality and low-cost commodities of the Ming Dynasty have turned over a large area of ​​industries operated by local merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

The local business forces in Jiangnan have been losing ground, and have been continuously run on by the capital of the Ming national team to bankruptcy, and then have been merged, further enhancing the economic control of the capital of the Ming national team over Jiangnan.

In the process, the Hangzhou court was weak and powerless.
