Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Cao Yang wanted to set up an independent business department outside the six departments to completely improve the status of merchants and commerce. However, as a part dedicated to the imperial court, from the minister of commerce to the officials below, it requires a lot of manpower.

But today's Dawei lacks talents.

But fortunately, it's time for the second exam.

During this year, a large number of books were distributed and sold in various places, benefiting countless students who wanted to learn.

At the time of the local examination, this year there are already talents selected from the previous year's examination, serving as examiners in various places.

Soon, another batch of talents was selected.

After the test, almost all talents with business talents were retained.

Because Xi Zhicai suddenly acquired the talent of "business proficiency", the Minister of Commerce was entrusted to him to do it, and many talents selected from the "650" were given to him one after another. Enrich the Commerce Department.

Soon after, the Ministry of Commerce was completely formed.

Xi Zhicai is in charge of the overall affairs, general talents are responsible for things like document drafting, and those talents who have awakened their business talents are sent to many workshops in various places to act as workshop owners, responsible for creating various characteristics of Dawei. product.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 380 business talents obtained this time! How should we arrange so many people?" Ju Shou expressed his sorrow, "There are too many business talents, it's a waste to not use them all. The key point is that many people only have this kind of talent. If they don't need it, sending them back will immediately dissuade the enthusiasm of the readers, thinking that reading is useless!

Hearing this, Cao Yang laughed: "I am worried that there are not enough talents, but you are worried that there are too many talents! Come back in a few days, I think you still say that there are too many talents!"

Nowadays, the common people know how silk is made, but very few people know about the dyeing method, and the folk workshops they know can't be compared with Cao Yang's "Heavenly Creation"!

Soon, an official printing and dyeing workshop opened in almost every county in Dawei!

Once the dye house came out, it began to recruit talents. Soon, a large number of big sisters and aunts were recruited, and some rough jobs needed strong men, so many young people who had nothing to do were recruited.

Soon, due to the large-scale appearance of dyeing workshops, the price of clothes plummeted, and the private workshops closed down. It seems that there is a problem with profitability.

However, just when the people all over the place felt worried, Xi Zhicai had already sent people to the dyeing workshops to urge the delivery of the dyed silk!

People all over the country know that this dyeing workshop is dyeing day and night, but the price of clothes in every county is also plummeting, so people feel that this official printing and dyeing workshop is going to close down and cannot sell the price. How long can it last on the government subsidy alone?

However, not long after, people from all over the country heard that the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Fuyu, and the newly conquered Kushan Empire all sent a large number of caravans to buy silk of various colors at high prices!

The grassland is windy, and I prefer stain-resistant colors.

Fuyu people love cleanliness and bright colors.

The Kushan people used to believe in Buddhism and preferred gold.

Soon, these silks were kidnapped by various countries, the grassland people left hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, but the Kushuang people left a lot of gold and precious stones.

The court immediately made a fortune.

"What? The treasury is full?"

In the palace, an official from the Ministry of Industry came in sweating profusely to report.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the money has come too fast recently, and it can't be spent. The treasury is full. Now there is still a lot of gold that has no place to put it, so it can only be thrown in the courtyard."

Cao Yang was also surprised: "I, how rich are you so rich? No need to say, and then build the national treasury! Build dozens more, this is nowhere, it's just a mere amount of silk!"

Since the price reduction of the dye house, people all over the country have received great benefits. Many people are wearing colorful silk and colorful cloth for the first time in their lives, and the girls are all dressed up. It is really tempting!

In the beginning, when buying clothes in various places, the bosses who sold cloth were worried, and they were almost scared to death when they saw the plummeting prices.

But soon they found that the drop in price made their purchase price much lower, while the sales volume was soaring, and the income was much better!

Especially now that everyone has saved food, and once they have the money, they no longer have to think about buying food to eat. Therefore, many people put out some money to buy new clothes for their children and daughters.

But how long has it been, people all over the world have spent some small money in exchange for full happiness.0

The people of Great Wei are more worshipful and loyal to the Son of Heaven, and the national luck of Great Wei has increased.

Silk is selling well, but fine wine is doing better.

Because of the sudden increase of wineries in various places, there are many sweet potatoes and low raw materials, and now the technology has also broken through the blockage, and the price of wine in various places has suddenly encountered Waterloo!

It is said that if the price of wine is low, there will be many more drunkards, which is not conducive to the development of society. However, the fine wine of the imperial court, except that it is sold in large quantities to foreign countries, is more restrained, and only some are sold between wine shops. It's a little looser than before, but it doesn't make people drunk every day.

Liquor is the favorite thing of the grassland people. Although there are fewer Xianbei and Huns now, the Slavs who are moving south have filled this gap perfectly.

The Slavs came from the extreme north, where it was extremely cold. In those places, they used to drink to get hot. Therefore, the Slavs liked spirits the most.

However, they lacked tools, did not understand the method of distillation, and could not brew fine wine.

After the Huns returned, they inadvertently let the Slavs know about this wine, so the Slavs were all excited!

They were all running to find wine to buy, because there were all kinds of Huns in the middle, so they first bought all the wine of the Huns at a high price, so that the Huns made a lot of money.

1.4 Soon, almost half of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people gave up grazing, and they all took cattle and horses to and from the Great Wei and the grasslands, bringing a steady stream of fine wine to the Slavs.

The Slavs were good at fishing in the ice and snow, good at hunting in the grasslands, and also good at herding, and were rich in resources.

Just silk and fine wine have already made Dawei's treasury completely unable to put it down!

At this time, the 380 business talents selected by this year's scientific examination have been completely exhausted, and even some places are not prepared by manpower!

"Hey, this is just silk and wine, how many years will I have to wait for other industries to accumulate enough talents?

Cao Yang sighed and felt that there was a real shortage of talents!

When Ju Shou knew that those talents were quickly used up, he was also sluggish!
