Chapter 192: Hugging the thighs
The requisition of grain from the hands of the merchants has now been established, and the first priority in Li Chen's hands is that as long as he has grain in his hands, he can do not panic in his heart. Let you Zhang Liang blow the east, west, north and south winds, and I will not fall down.
The grain collection must be fast, and while the autumn harvest has not yet fully begun, the news of the harvest in the nine counties has not yet spread. Merchants are the most courageous group in Great Qin, and if there is a twenty percent profit, merchants will be active. If there is a fifty percent profit, he will take a risk. If there is a 100% profit, he dares to trample on all the laws of the world. If there is a 300% profit, he will dare to commit all crimes, even the risk of punishing the nine clans. Once the news of the grain harvest is spread, the grain requisition will inevitably not go smoothly. There will be countless businessmen like LĂź Buwei, waiting to be sold at a price. They will inevitably store the grain in their hands and wait for the end of Great Qin and the rebels to be clear before taking out the grain.
The grain must be collected quickly, and the only way to do it is to communicate with these merchants. It will take at least a month for the news of the harvest to spread throughout Great Qin, and it is necessary to seize the grain in his hands at this time.
"Master Hou, these businessmen are not easy to deal with, what are you going to do, do you have a plan?" Chen Ping smiled bitterly. The task of requisitioning grain is really tight and heavy, and if one is not good, the chicken may fly and the egg will be beaten. You must know that the merchants of Daqin are very treacherous one by one. Let's just say that in the current business environment of Daqin, the person who can make the business bigger, the one who doesn't have a few brushes.
"Not only will I take bread out of their hands, but I will also take it for free." Li Chen said categorically. At this time, when real money is used to buy grain, these merchants will be suspicious. Because the autumn harvest is imminent, the grain at this time is the least valuable. If you take real money to collect food, they will wait and see because they are suspicious. At this time, if you want them to hand over the food in their hands, you have to prostitute it for nothing. Only the benefits of white prostitutes, and the righteousness of white prostitutes, can make them not suspicious.
Li Chen planned to set up a commercial consortium of Great Qin at the national level, and some of these Great Qin merchants were headquartered in Bashu, some in Sanqin, some in Guanzhong, and some in the coastal areas..... Some people started by selling grain, some by selling minerals, some by selling medicinal herbs, and some by selling cattle, sheep and horses......
In short, everyone is what you have but I don't, and what you do I don't do. As a result, there will be a certain region where the business system is particularly developed, but it is not balanced. Li Chen wanted to set up a commercial consortium in Daqin to allow all merchants to communicate with each other, and the key to obtaining food depended on whether this alliance could be carried out smoothly.
"That's a good reason, but it shouldn't be possible for them to give it for nothing, right?" Chen Ping thought for a while and said.
"I plan to issue commercial bonds, and they will get the same amount of commercial bonds when they send grain, and they can use commercial bonds to purchase goods in the alliance in the future." Li Chen thought for a while and said.
"Commercial debt?" Chen Ping asked puzzled.
Daqin naturally does not have the concept of bonds, whether it is in the name of Daqin or in the name of commercial associations to issue bonds. Once these merchants exchanged their grain for bonds, they either contributed to the purchase of bonds. Then they will be completely tied to Daqin, only the bonds in Daqin's hands can be cashed, if Daqin is not there, the bonds in their hands will naturally become a piece of waste paper. In this way, these businessmen will naturally spontaneously stand on the side of Great Qin.
"Yes, is issuing merchant bonds the best way to do it today? It's just that at this time, I still have to find a few tows. Li Chen said.
Looking for this matter, it is naturally less to make up for the Ba family. This Ba family has always worn a pair of pants with Li Jiazhuang, and it has always been the only one from Li Jiazhuang.
"Whom are you looking for, the one who has a great weight among the merchants, who speaks well." Li Chen muttered in a low voice.
"Master Hou, the Wang family can too. Presumably, for the sake of General Wang, he will naturally help us. Chen Ping reminded.
There is a poem that says, in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. The Wang Xie family has always been a big family of the feudal dynasty, although there is no Xie family in Daqin at this time, but the Wang family is a big family in Daqin. Dozens of clans surnamed Wang, large and small, in the entire Great Qin, the vast majority of families surnamed Wang will want to have something to do with Wang Jian to some extent, and the Wang Family Chamber of Commerce in Xianyang City is also quite powerful in the business world.
Since the first emperor forced the wealthy families of the six countries to move to Xianyang, the big merchants in the original six countries, no matter where you do business, the main family must be in Xianyang, which means that the big families in the six countries are all in Xianyang.
It's night
Xianyang City, Ba Fu
"You little conscienceless, you haven't come to see my sister for a long time." As soon as Li Chen entered Ba Mansion, Ba Qing grabbed Li Chen's collar and said.
Facing these two people, Ba Qing snorted like an orchid, and the heat of his speech hit Li Chen's face, which made people's faces itch. Li Chen was slightly higher than Ba Qing's half-head, and was about to talk, when he looked down and saw that there were two white greasy.
"Don't look at indecent things."
"Indecent disrespect."
Li Chen squinted his eyes and looked somewhere, and kept muttering in his heart. Although Ying Yue was not in front of him, Li Chen's desire to survive was still very strong.
"Sister Qing, don't make trouble."
"Get down to business today."
"Isn't my sister the right thing?" Ba Qing said resentfully.
Li Chen hurriedly distanced himself from this pretty widow, and he didn't dare to tease this little widow. It's hard to wait for the first emperor to give marriage, but don't dare to fool around outside. Otherwise, I am afraid that the first emperor will come to cut himself with a sword, and then he will run or run.
In the hall of the Ba family, there have been more than 100 people who have come one after another, and these incomparable exceptions are the helmsmen of various chambers of commerce. Li Chen sat on the main seat, and as the helmsman of the largest chamber of commerce in Great Qin, Ba Qing sat beside Li Chen.
"It's almost time for everyone to come, so please take a seat." Li Chen opened his mouth and said.
"Master Xie."
"Master Xie." Everyone thanked each other, and then began to sit down according to the dignity of their status.
Such as the Wang Chamber of Commerce, the Montessori Chamber of Commerce, the Feng Chamber of Commerce, etc., these are all chambers of commerce with the ministers of the DPRK and China as the backstage, and the remaining small chambers of commerce are seated in the back. In the past, the Ba family could only be regarded as a top chamber of commerce, just because its family mastered the technology of mining dansha, which was the only one in Daqin engaged in the dansha industry. Since this Ba Qing climbed to the high branch of Rong Lu Hou, and all the rare things produced in Lijiazhuang were dumped by the Ba Family Chamber of Commerce, the strength of the Ba Family Chamber of Commerce has become the only one among all the chambers of commerce.
Regarding the matter of the little widow of the Ba family hugging Ronglu waiting for Li Chen's thigh, there were still a lot of rumors in Xianyang City. Some people say that she is holding her left leg, and some people say that she is holding her right leg, but this is passed on, and it becomes a three-legged hug.
Regarding this rumor made out of nothing, Li Chen, who has an extremely strong desire to survive, naturally denied it. For this reason, official power was even mobilized to quell the rumors.
"Rumors stop at the wise."
"Don't dare to ......"
"No, no, how could I betray my little moon."
