Chapter 171: Making a Tiger Skin from a Cat's Skin

Handed over five catties of gold to a scholar of the deputy city guard of the four clearances, Zhao Xing said to him: "In the future, the real estate in the four customs clearances will be a huge income for us, you must remember this." Our principle is that it is better to sell more expensive, than cheaper. ”

The deputy city guard nodded: "The lord is ordered." ”

"Another thing that must be insisted on is that we only take gold or copper, and we must only spend our own money. And taxes only take our money, and here, we must develop such habits and rules. ”

"But Lord, where did we get so much money?"

Zhao Xing took back the gold he had just handed over to him, and before he could cover it, he took it back again: "I'll exchange it for 51,000 yuan for you, and you can collect it into your treasury." ”

The deputy city guard was surprised: "How can this be a thousand more." ”

"The extra is the interest of money, you go and exchange it with them, all the bronze coins of various countries, such as the half catty of Wei State, you will give him sixteen of our money, and the half tael of Qi State, we will give him one to exchange one, and one catty of gold, we will exchange them for ten thousand dollars. In this way, it is equivalent to the standard exchange rate of our money for different currencies in different countries. At this time, we will exchange a hundred coins and collect one coin, so that our money will be circulated to other countries, and eventually, it will become the common currency of all the vassal states. And we can make a large unimaginable profit in the exchange. ”

This deputy city guard was a smart man, and he immediately saw the huge benefits: "Lord, the subordinates promise to hand over the profits to the Xingjun Mansion in the year after tomorrow." ”

Zhao Xing shook his head with a smile: "Half a year is still too urgent, because I still have to build another city and a small city on the edge of the river and at the head of the chain bridge." ”

Zhao Hao asked, "Brother, is that necessary?" ”

Zhao Xing said: "There is a need, one is to protect the wharf, that is, to protect the communication channel between our four customs and Zhao State, and the other is to form a horn with our four passes, if the enemy comes to attack, we can cooperate with each other, this is called the defense of the two forts." At the same time, our soldiers will be withdrawn and stationed there, so that Sitongguan will become a commercial city completely. Please remember that this is not only the largest business city in the future, but also the foundation of our four worlds. ”

As soon as he heard it, Zhao Hao immediately understood what Zhao Xing meant.

As he wished, Tian Dan not only met the merchants who came from the Qin State at Sitongguan, but also met the representative merchants of other large and small princes, and he quickly negotiated the sale of the goods in his hands. But as Zhao Xing expected, the trading between countries, the value of various coins and currencies is really dazzling and difficult to calculate.

As a result, he got the good news, that is, Zhao Xing opened a coin exchange office next to his city guard's mansion. For example, the half tael of Qin he collected, he can exchange the full amount of money for a daijun, and then, he can pay taxes at the Sitong customs, pay venue fees, etc., and at the same time, he can also use the money of the daijun to buy the goods of other princes.

The coinage of Daigun is so exquisite, it can almost be regarded as a work of art, and the golden yellow color that does not fade is even more lovely, and all countries are proud to have Daigun coins.

Tian Dan, who has deep business genes, decided that when he went back, he would cash all his money into Daijun's coins, what is the handling fee of one hundred and one yuan? Go back by yourself, and the exchange rate of one hundred and a half dollars will definitely be sought-after.

Well, money makes money, a hundred makes four dollars, this business seems to be very profitable. Just do this, and within a year, you will definitely make a fortune.

There are many businessmen from all over the world who have such thoughts in mind. In this way, the coins of Daijun began to circulate in various vassal states, and the miscellaneous currencies of the world poured into the four passes. Everyone thinks that Zhao Xing is a fool, but Zhao Xing sees that everyone in the world is a fool, and the reason is that Zhao Xing is standing at the height of later generations and looking at the current currency.

As long as you have the right to mint money, as long as each vassal state circulates its own currency, then the wool will become your own power, and you can completely make a country collapse because there is no money, or there is too much money.

How simple it is to surrender without a fight and destroy the country.

Tian Dan is gone, but he will come again, businessmen from all over the country have poured in because they know the role of the four clearances, and a prosperous four customs clearances are growing, and the four customs clearances are Zhao Xing's cash cow.

But after the planned things, Zhao Xing was very lazy, so he didn't want to care about it anymore. One is that I am very tired, so there is no need for that; Another is that he interferes too much, but he restricts his subordinates, which is not conducive to giving full play to the initiative of his subordinates.

In particular, Zhao Xing came here for his real purpose.

In the four customs clearance belongs to the Daigun commercial hall, Daigun's paper is the most attractive goods. Zhou Tianzi's housekeeper Zhou Gongqi was talking to Zhao Xing about the paper business: "The paper in Daijun is really good, not only easy to write, but also has a great capacity between the front and back. Then he said embarrassedly: "Especially Tianzi hemorrhoids, I used Daijun paper to go to the toilet, which is much more comfortable." ”

Zhao Xing solemnly bowed his hand in the direction of Zhou Yuan: "It is the responsibility of the courtiers to make the Son of Heaven favor, I feel honored." Feeling honored to be happy for his boss to go to the toilet, Zhao Xing did not feel despicable, but was proud of it.

Then he asked solemnly again: "I would like to ask Duke Zhou, if I carry out a crusade against Zhongshan Kingdom next year, will the Son of Heaven agree?" ”

The Duke of Zhou has not been questioned for a long time because of the crusade between the princes, and this time he heard a prince's consultation again, and he felt very comfortable, so he stroked his beard and said: "Zhongshan, it is also a country in the Central Plains, and the soldiers are in trouble, and it is not benevolent." ”

Zhao Xing took out a box from behind him: "I am kind to Zhou Gong, I really admire the five-body throw, I don't know how to express my reverence for Zhou Gong's character, now I offer a pair of jade, I wish Zhou Gong's character has always been as clean and pure as jade." ”

Zhou Gong smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. "The Son of Heaven is also in a dilemma, after all, Zhongshan has surrendered to Qi, and in order to be recognized by the Son of Heaven, through Qi, he will worship the Son of Heaven every year."

Zhao Xing said: "Zhou Yuan is already small and does not have much output, which makes the Son of Heaven unable to sacrifice to his ancestors in glory, as a courtier, it is a dereliction of duty." Then he covered his face with his sleeve in shame: "So I plan to pass the customs in Sitong, leave a shop and a courtyard, dedicate it to the Son of Heaven, open a shop here, sell the output of the Central Plains, and then contact the princes at the same time, urging them to hand over the offerings, which is also a responsibility as a courtier." ”

Zhou Gong said happily: "The princes of the world, there are still those who can be so sympathetic to the Son of Heaven, there are no more, Tang Hou is really concerned." ”

"At the beginning, I promised the Son of Heaven an offering of 2,000 catties of gold every five years, and I was ready to pay it on time at Sitong Customs according to the annual money of 5 million for the county. Please accept it from Zhou Gong. ”

This is 25 million dollars, and Zhou Gong couldn't sit still, and said at the time: "Zhongshan, after Bai Rong, is a foreigner, and he has been stealing the Central Plains for a long time. Crusade and destroy it is the great principle of maintaining the etiquette and education of the Central Plains, and I will ask the Son of Heaven to allow it. Then he promised: "Although Zhongshan is a vassal of Qi, the truth of the world cannot be changed, and the Son of Heaven will announce to the world that he will order you to crusade against Zhongshan and purify the civilization of the Central Plains." ”

Zhao Xing stood up and solemnly knelt down again to salute: "Huh." ”

It took so much time for Zhou Zhang, in fact, Zhao Xing asked for this sentence, when he destroyed Zhongshan, he hoped that Qi Guo would take care of the face of the Son of Heaven and not interfere in it.

And once the Qi State did not give Zhou Tianzi face and intervened in it, Zhao Xing could justifiably pull up his little brother Zhao Yong, and use the entire country of Zhao to fight against the Qi State.

Or drag it up to the Song Kingdom of South Korea, and go up with your two allies.

This is very necessary, not to make the vassal states admit the legitimacy of their destruction of Zhongshan, the most important thing is to let the entire Zhao State and those who oppose him pulling the Zhao State to destroy Zhongshan shut up for me.

Sometimes, a cat skin acts as a tiger's skin, making a big flag, necessary. Zhou Tianzi's words can not be counted, but it depends on whose hands it is, in the hands of the strong, that is the absolute golden mouth.

Of course, if you take it out of the hands of the poor and weak, it's a fart.

Half a month later, Zhou Gong, who came and went in a hurry, appeared in front of Zhao Xing again, and after receiving a lot of money for shoes, Zhao Xing got Zhou Tianzi's official crusade against Zhongshan, and then he returned to Zhao with satisfaction.
