After returning from Xiangzhou, Du Zhongxiao and the Shipping Department submitted a memorial to conduct the transportation law in the prefectures and counties along the Bianhe River and Bianxiang Railway. They increased the authority of the shipping department and prefectures and counties, and flexibly purchased the materials needed by the court. The three departments no longer set the land and price the price, and implemented the principle of being too expensive and cheap, and using the near and far. This method was proposed by the shipping envoy Xu Yuan, and has been partially implemented along the Bianhe River. It has now been expanded to Jingxi Road and has been supplemented.

Then Du Zhongxiao introduced the article to expand the scope of goods that can stabilize prices in Changping warehouses from grain to general goods, and establish a complete commercial network. That is, Jingxi Road established Changping Yisi in Luoyang and Xiangyang respectively, and set up branches in important prefectures and counties, with sites underneath, and free trade. Changping warehouses are based on the price trends along the way, buying when the price is low, and selling when the price is high, ensuring the stability of the market price.

The Song Dynasty commerce implemented a guild system, not free trade, which caused many disadvantages. The big merchants used their strong capital and the special status given by the government to control commercial activities and seize excess profits. Although the government obtained the convenience of using the control and manipulation of economic activities by the big merchants, the commercial profits were earned by the merchants, and the government made little profits. In particular, taxation and bulk trade were mainly in kind taxes, with little cash, and money shortage almost became a daily routine. Because the large amount of cash on the market entered the hands of the big merchants, the circulation speed of currency was extremely low. Another big merchant controlled the business and squeezed other practitioners, small merchants, small shops, and small handicraftsmen could only make small profits, which was not conducive to economic development.

After one month, the memorial was allowed to establish a Changping Warehouse System on this road based on the profits of the Iron Supervision Bureau. It formally established the Changyamen on the West Jing Road, which was set up in Fancheng Town opposite Xiangyang County.

Before this, Du Zhongxiao ordered a thorough investigation of the Changping warehouse and the charity warehouse of the prefectures in West Jing Road. The main focus was on the magistrates, and each state investigated each other, and then a part of the magistrates were drawn to conduct a review. The account book must be clear. If there is any deficit, the reason should be stated and the recovery will not be carried out for the time being.

This is how it is to do things in the official world. Only by eliminating the responsibilities of officials can they feel relieved when doing things. They just check the account books and do not hold them accountable, and the numbers obtained are relatively accurate. Without adding the words of not recovering for the time being, the numbers on the book will not be trusted, and local officials will definitely try their best to conceal it. Even if they say that they will not recover for the time being, the accounts in many places are still wrong, and some officials still have the idea of ​​fooling them on the numbers first and making up for them later.

After these things were completed, it was already the twelfth lunar month. Du Xun took the train and hurried to Fancheng, saying that he would come to see his son before the New Year. The foundation of the Du family in Xuzhou was solid, and now there was a train again, so the journey was convenient, so the family did not live with Du Zhongxiao. Every once in a while, they came to visit relatives.

When he arrived at the Houya, Du Zhongxiao ordered tea and said to Du Xun: "Dad, why are you here alone?"

Du Xun said: "It turns out that it will take another half a month to see you. The others are not ready for a while. I have something to ask you, so I'll come first."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What's so urgent? Is there something wrong at home? A few days ago, Grandpa Song returned to Beijing and Grandpa Chen stopped his prime minister and went to Xuzhou. Is it difficult for our family?"

Du Xun said: "No, don't think about it. On the day when Mr. Chen arrived in Xuzhou, I went to greet him with the officials of this state, and greeted him for a long time. The court saw what you did for several years, and my husbands praised him very much."

Du Zhongxiao frowned and said, "What urgent matters can be? Hurry up here."

Du Xun gathered up and said nervously: "You wrote a few days ago and asked our family to sell all industries except for land, houses and restaurants. Over the years, our family has bought a lot of industries in the prefectures and counties, and they have all kinds of industries. You all know that this is for you, your future plans and future generations, and you will find out. Suddenly, is it because you encountered some difficulties in the court?"

Du Zhongxiao let out a sigh and said with a smile: "Dad, where are you thinking about it! I am now referring to Changping to rectify the business of our country and let you sell those industries. It is just to avoid suspicion. After a few years, I will no longer work on Jingxi Road and buy it back."

After hearing this, Du Xun was a little displeased: "As an official in the court, I only heard that I would make some convenience for my family to make money. As long as it does not violate the law, there is no place for people who will not let their own business. Just be your official, don't worry about how I manage my family business at home."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Dad, you have to be careful when doing things in the officialdom. This time I mentioned Changping. Many businessmen in this road will definitely not be as comfortable as before. If they do not avoid suspicion, they will inevitably spread rumors. Moreover, as long as the government takes action, many industries will not be so valuable, and now they will not suffer any losses if they sell them. Listen to me, holding cash in hand is better than others, and it will not be too late to buy them in a few years."

Du Xun said: "With cash in hand, you can do quality deposit business. However, there are many wealthy families in Xuzhou, and this business is not easy to do."

"The quality warehouse is also sold, so don't do this business. - Not only don't do it now, don't do it in the future, there is no future."

The quality warehouse is the most popular business for powerful families. As long as you have capital and means, this business is easiest to do. However, this business is also the easiest to cause disputes and give others a handle. Du Zhongxiao has never advocated opening a quality warehouse at home. However, the Du family has been expanding greatly in recent years and has a lot of money in hand. There is almost no business in Xuzhou City and Linying County.

After hearing Du Zhongxiao's words, Du Xun was a little depressed and said, "I don't do this business and sell it. What business is there? Could it be that it is really like you said, only the land and restaurants are left? How much money will it make? Son, you don't know how much money you have to spend every day now when your family business is big!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Just keeping these two things, the money you get is enough. The Iron Supervisor has released many new farm tools. Has my father ever seen them? He used all new farm tools, and with the current manpower, he could open a lot of land. There are farms and restaurants, which are enough to support household use."

Du Zhongxiao became an official, and the Du family became rich. It turned out that the families of small families had become large families for no reason. Relatives and tribes who had not been in contact for many years emerged one by one and were hiding to the Du family. There were even fellow tribes far away from him who came to Xuzhou to recognize their relatives, saying that they were separated from each other in the era and moved to the escorts. The hard work was so hard that they were snot and tears. In addition, the same was true for Han Yueniang's family. The Du family now has hundreds of people and various relatives. Of course, they are not idle people, and these families have their own livelihoods. But since they are relatives of the same clan, their children's education must be taken care of, and all kinds of weddings and weddings must be taken care of, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses are quite expensive.

The family business is booming, and Du Xun is in full swing in recent years. Suddenly, Du Zhongxiao caused the family industry to shrink and could not figure it out.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Dad, I'm taking Changping on West Jing Road. I've done my best. The future business will not be the same as it is now. Listen to me, sell the family's industry first and stick to the main business. When the regulations are set in the future, it's not too late to get started. If you still do business now, you will be too busy to talk to others, and I can't take care of one, and the other will lose money if you are not careful."

Seeing that his son did not give up, Du Xun finally agreed, and said, "If there is only a business in the house and restaurant, what else do I have to watch? We have made a big sugarcane garden in Chuanxia in the past two years, so why don't I go there for two years."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Okay, this is a long-term business. In my opinion, growing sugarcane is the way to make a lot of money. It's a pity that the road to Sichuan Gorge is far away and the road to Sichuan is inconvenient. It takes a long time to come and go. I always let others take care of it, but I feel unsure after all."
