The Young Master Is Fierce Chapter 860: Immigration

Fengyang County, Baizhou, one of the eight southern states, is the Chen family compound.
The once bustling mansion is now empty with few people left.
Chen Dongsheng, the patriarch of the Chen clan, stood in the back garden, looking at the withered flowers on the ground, and chanted in a low voice:
"When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers.
The soaring incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is filled with golden armor! ”
This is naturally not a poem written by him, but a letter written by the current Emperor Dezong, entrusted by Zhou Tongtong, and sent to him after his grandson Chen Linyuan married Zhou Yudan, the daughter of the Zhou family.
"Your Majesty, you are so courageous today!"
Standing next to him is Chen Suyuan, who returned from Guanyun City in April.
"Master, is he threatening us?"
Chen Dongsheng smiled brightly and shook his head, "We are not worthy of His Majesty's threat. By the way, have the last few salt wells been negotiated?"
"Master, we have reached an agreement yesterday. Each salt well was sold to a man named Li at a price of 3 million yuan... Who is this Li Guan? Six salt wells, worth 18 million taels of silver. , it’s settled like this, could it be the little emperor’s?”
"This is no longer important. Linyuan and the others have arrived at Jinling with the Xianyunshan people, and the family's 120,000 disciples will also gradually arrive at the five roads that mainly produce salt in the Yu Dynasty. The core members of the Zhou family are also When they are about to arrive in Yu Dynasty, the Lu family will be one step ahead. Their main stop will be in Linjiang, where there is an excellent dock and dock."
"Please go and inform all the remaining clan members that on the eighth day of October, we will meet in Jiangcheng and take the Lu family's passenger ship to the Yu Dynasty."
"You should also go back to Guanyun City and take your family with you."
Chen Suyuan suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He originally followed Nangong Yiyu's policy and came back to persuade the clan leader to give up the interests of the salt mine and follow the example of the Zhuo family and the Nangong family in giving up these interests to the young emperor. Keep your family safe.
But what he didn't expect was that the head of the family decided to sell all his assets and move the family south!
He was worried that this move would cause the little emperor to send troops to clear it out. After all, the thousand-year-old Chen family held huge assets.
But now the eldest young master Chen Linyuan has arrived in Jinling safely with at least half of his family property, without any problems, as if the little emperor didn't know about it at all.
Why is he doing this?
He also asked the clan leader about this doubt, but the clan leader had no explanation.
"It's a long way to Jiangcheng. Patriarch, please go first."
Chen Dongsheng waved his hand, "I'm old and I'm not going anywhere. The main house must still be guarded, and the ancestral hall must be cleaned by someone. You can go."
"Now the position of the head of the Chen family has been handed over to my eldest son Chen Shi. He knows how to do it in the Yu Dynasty. You... were once a fourth-rank official. When you arrive in Jinling, you will stay with Chen Shi. Be there to help him take care of his new business."
"...what business do we do again?"
“Of course we still run the salt farm!”
"..."
Chen Suyuan sat in the carriage returning to Guanyun City, but there were too many things he didn't understand in his heart.
He didn't understand why the patriarch had to leave even though he didn't have to leave?
He didn’t know when the Chen family bought another salt well in the Yu Dynasty. The patriarch said that 120,000 Chen family disciples would arrive in the five main salt-producing roads in the Yu Dynasty, which meant that at least five salt wells were bought.
He knows that 30% of the market share of Yuchao Qing Salt is currently occupied by white salt products from the Chilechuan Autonomous Region. It is very likely that it will be completely occupied by white salt in the future. In that case, the family has not obtained the white salt refining method. What is the significance of entering the salt field?
There is also the mysterious Xianyun Mountain man, whom I have met once. He is a suave person and seems to be extremely shrewd.
The marriage with the Zhou family was based on this Shanren's strategy, and the immigration to the Yu Dynasty was also based on this Shanren's strategy.
He even persuaded the Zhou family and the Lu family. He single-handedly planned the large-scale emigration of the three sect masters from the seven thousand-year-old sects of the Wu Dynasty to the Yu Dynasty. What did he want to do?
Of course, with the current situation, it is not a bad idea to move to the Yu Dynasty. The patriarch said that the emperor of the Yu Dynasty welcomes them - of course he welcomes them. The Chen family alone may bring nearly 100 million to the Yu Dynasty!
The three major clans will take root in the Yu Dynasty, and they must spend a lot of money to rebuild their business empire. For example, the Chen family wants to buy salt fields, the Zhou family wants to buy mines, and the Lu family wants to buy wood to build ships.
Logically speaking, all their actions cannot be hidden from the eyes of the little emperor. Chen Suyuan deeply knows the horror of ant colonies. Three hundred million dollars of silver was taken out of the country like this... Is the little emperor really that kind?
……
……
"Why did he let the three major clans come to Yu Dynasty?"
Yan Shidao raised the same doubts and questions to Yu Wendao.
"The Chen family invested huge sums of money to buy ten salt mines in Wudao. The Zhou family also invested huge sums of money to buy eight mines in Sandao. The Lu family wants to expand the Yao County wharf ten times! It is necessary to build ten more For such a huge shipyard, a lot of wood needs to be purchased..."
"Your Majesty, this is indeed a good thing for our Yu Dynasty, but what I don't understand is that Fu Xiaoguan must know it, but he just let them leave like this. Is there any problem in it?"
Yu Wenwen smiled slightly and said, "He replied to my letter and mentioned that it was a gift for me to ascend the throne as emperor."
Yan Shidao was startled, this gift... is too heavy!
Zhuo Liuyun on the side pondered for a moment and said: "These three major clans have talked with us privately several times. They are indeed desperate in the Wu Dynasty. According to the intelligence from Xiaoyulou, Fu Xiaoguan purchased the salt fields of Yi State on a large scale. , and also integrated the salt fields controlled by the domestic government. A large amount of white salt entered the Wu Dynasty market, and no one was allowed to increase the price, which meant that it could only be sold for 500 coins per pound."
"In this case, how can the Chen family's green salt still survive? In the same way, for the Zhou family's iron ore, Fu Xiaoguan bought a large amount of iron ore from our dynasty and signed a trade agreement with Fan Guo. Fan Guo A large amount of iron ore will also be exported to the Wu Dynasty, and the Zhou family will no longer be able to operate."
"Lu's water transportation, because Fu Xiaoguan relaxed the restrictions on water transportation, the private shipbuilding industry flourished, and his shipyard in Jiangcheng was also building ships on a large scale. The price of private shipping was 20% lower than that of Lu's. At first, people from the government However, after more than a dozen people were killed by the imperial officials, no one dared to intervene. Naturally, private shipping flourished, and Lu's water transportation became difficult."
"To sum up, these three major clans must either give up their livelihoods or find other ways."
"How can they maintain their family's survival by giving up those businesses? Their only choice is to find another way, which is why they came to Yu Dynasty."
"As for why Fu Xiaoguan didn't stop him...I think about it, he probably wouldn't dare bear the reputation of massacring hundreds of thousands of people."
Sounds reasonable.
But Yan Shidao felt extremely uneasy for some reason.
