Chapter 138: Hu Wanxue's Plan
Hu Wanxue poured wine with us and said, "Haha, Elder You's frank personality really deserves his reputation. Naturally, we should be honest with each other. ”
Hu Wanxue put down the wine jug, looked at me and said, "Our Hu family has indeed been in business for generations, but we may have done more business than others. Our Hu family has hundreds of money banks in Central Continent countries, not only that, but we are also involved in medicinal materials, jewelry, minerals, grain and other industries. ”
I was a little surprised and said, "That means that the wealth of your Hu family can no longer be described as countless?"
Ji Wanjiao said: "Elder You, to be precise, the Hu family of the Xia Lan Kingdom is the richest family in the entire Central Continent, including the royal family of the Six Kingdoms. ”
Hu Wanxue still smiled heartily without showing off: "I am not talented, and I am the helmsman of the Hu family's generation." Of course, if you want to talk about other identities, our Hu family is still the shareholder of Fengyu Building, Treasure Pavilion, and Zhuyan Villa. However, unlike the three princes who have eyes and ears all over the world, I am a shareholder of Fengyulou purely for business. ”
I calmly stared at Hu Wanxue's eyes and asked, "Then do your Hu family have some shady businesses?"
Hu Wanxue said calmly: "Elder You, what you asked is really straightforward. More than 200 years ago, our ancestors of the Hu family did buy and sell people, resell weapons to make war money, and hoard a large number of materials to make a fortune for the country. But in the last 150 years, we have stopped doing it all. And our Hu family has also been trying to make up for the mistakes of the year. ”
I took a sip of wine and said, "Okay, in that case, then we can talk." To tell you the truth, whether you are businessmen, royal relatives and nobles, the water is too deep, and I really don't like to come into contact with you. ”
Hu Wanxue said with a smile: "Elder You, you are bent on seeking the Tao, so naturally you don't look down on these battles for fame and fortune in our world. ”
"It's not enough to say that I can't look down on it, I'm not that high, I just think it's troublesome. I took a bite of food and said, "Well, this dish tastes really good." Then what are you going to tell me, Young Master Hu?"
Hu Wanxue asked, "I wonder what Elder You thinks of the economies of the countries in Zhongzhou, as well as the living conditions of ordinary people?"
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I don't know the economies of the countries, I don't know the specifics, I never cared about this. As for ordinary people, I think there is too much gap between the rich and powerful in all aspects of people's lives. ”
Hu Wanxue poured me a full bottle of wine and asked, "Then what do you think Elder You thinks are the specifics?"
I took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "I was originally asking you, but now it's you asking me." Not to mention, take the traffic as an example, the area of the countries in Central Continent is too large, and ordinary people want to come to Dayu from all countries like us at least for more than three months, or even more than five or six months. This is still a particularly smooth situation along the way, if it doesn't go well, even your life will be lost halfway. Inconvenient transportation will naturally affect the trade of various countries and the living standards of ordinary people. ”
I took a bite of food and continued, "So, not to mention this kind of convenient space ring on our hands, even my sister used to be a minor nobleman in Bowang City, and she only knew about this kind of thing in books at that time. However, although the things in the space ring are rare for us, they are at least not rare. ”
"There is also a teleportation circle, and it costs one or two hundred taels of gold to teleport, right? Ordinary people may not have seen ten taels of gold in their lives. To put it simply, I think that in some ways, it can be said that the top magnates and ordinary people live in different worlds at all. I said leisurely.
"Elder You is meticulous in his observations, and he said the key point at once, Hu admires him very much, and Hu respects you. Hu Wanxue raised her glass and said a little excitedly, "Hu really didn't expect Elder You to have such an opinion, so far you are the fourth person I have ever seen, I am so happy." ”
I smiled and asked, "Shouldn't there be one of these four people?"
Hu Wanxue sighed and said, "No wonder the third prince regards Elder You as his only friend, you really know each other." ”
I said helplessly: "I'll talk to the third prince... Forget it, let's not talk about him. Tell me what you want to do. ”
Hu Wanxue said seriously: "That's the case, Kunlun Mountain is located at the junction of Xialan, Dayu and Chu, for our Xialan country, the Kunlun faction is our biggest protection shield, if it were not for the protection of the Kunlun faction that has been unmoving for thousands of years, the entire Xialan country would not be prosperous today." The entire Kunlun Mountain covers a wide area, but no one has dared to set foot in the Kunlun Mountain for thousands of years. . . ”
I didn't wait for Hu Wanxue to finish speaking, and asked him directly: "You said so much, don't you want to do business with our Kunlun faction? ”
Hu Wanxue smiled confidently and said, "No, Elder You. Hu doesn't want to do business with your faction, Hu wants to make a big deal with the major forces including the six countries and seven factions!"
When I heard Hu Wanxue's words, I was not impressed by his courage. I put down the wine glass in my hand, took a deep breath and asked Hu Wanxue, "Then what is the specific deal of yours? Do you have a mature plan now?"
Hu Wanxue's eyes flashed with a special light, and she said to me: "I am going to establish a complete transportation network covering the entire Zhongzhou through the one hundred and thirty-two counties of the six countries of Zhongzhou, so that the value of materials from all parts of Zhongzhou can be maximized in this way." This can not only stimulate the production enthusiasm of the people of Central Continent, but also greatly reduce the cost of all materials and improve the living standards of the people of the six countries!"
I was completely shocked by Hu Wanxue's thoughts, I stared at Hu Wanxue and asked, "When others hear your thoughts, no one says you're crazy?"
Hu Wanxue smiled indifferently: "Hahaha, it's not that no one says I'm crazy, it's that everyone says I'm crazy." But I can see that Elder You, you know very well what a huge change it will bring to the entire Middle-earth if my plan can succeed. ”
I shook my head slightly and said: "This kind of huge volume of material transportation is a matter of grasping the lifeblood of all countries, in such a sensitive period at this time, it is difficult for all countries to agree with your idea, what if you are a demon Dao? Even if you are not a Demon Dao, what if you are used by the Demon Dao in the process of implementing this plan?"
Hu Wanxue said: "I am only responsible for the transportation of goods, and all transportation points are the responsibility of all parties, and I only earn the cost of transportation." And I think that it is precisely at this important juncture when the top forces of Middle-earth are trying to unite for the first time that my idea is most likely to succeed. ”
