Zhao Zhen is in a good mood today, under the rule of Kaifeng Mansion, nearly 100 factories have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even dare to compete with Cai Ji for market share, which provoked Cai Boyu's kid to complain again and again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Zhen cordially repaired the book to express "condolences" and scolded him in the letter, this kid is simply stupid, only in those places where the market has been saturated and others tug-of-war, there is no foresight and decisive courage to give up.

After all, he used to be a companion, how could he not even know his most commonly used means, Cai Kee's capital has accumulated to a terrifying level, and the capital here not only includes Cai Kee's funds, but also his unparalleled goodwill!

Jiangmen, who had withdrawn before, regretted it when he saw that the behemoth of Cai Ji was becoming more and more terrifying.

Jiangmen, who used to bet to win the favor of the officials, withdrew all the funds when Zhao Zhen built the military academy against them, but unfortunately, Cai Boyu, who had been prepared, fought a beautiful war of annihilation.

Not only did he clear Jiangmen's dry shares and dividends, but he also carried out a brutal dumping activity in the major markets of Tokyo City, nominally to give back to the people's care, but in fact to let Jiangmen's small factory close down!

Cai Kee's workers' wages are lower than those of Jiangmen, because they work long hours and have vacations and rewards for more work, so they often only need to pay eighty percent of their salary to retain workers, not to mention that Cai Kee's benefits are also the best among the factories in Tokyo City.

Everyone knows that entering Cai Ji is to work for the heavenly family, and cutting corners has never happened.

In addition to building factories on a large scale, Cai Kee also built laboratories, and spent a lot of money to hire highly skilled craftsmen to develop and improve processes.

All of the above has caused Cai Kee's production costs to plummet, and price reduction and dumping is simply a sure win, but the difference between making more and earning less.

In the face of Cai Kee's competition, they can only pay a higher price to recruit workers, which leads to an increase in production costs, and there is no advanced production technology, so they cannot compete with Cai Kee's dumping in price, and can only be like a fat sheep to be slaughtered, bitten all over the body by Cai Kee, a fierce predator.

However, the rise of more and more factories still has an impact on the behemoth of Cai Kee, and the market has reached saturation, so it can only find another way.

That's why Cai Boyu came to ask Zhao Zhen for help and gave him a good way......

Although he scolded Cai Boyu with blood, Zhao Zhen knew that this was Xiaopang asking him for the right to operate Salt and Iron again.

Since ancient times, salt and iron have been important state monopoly resources, which can only be sold through the market.

Zhao Zhen had long planned to liberalize the mining and management rights of salt and iron, which was also a matter of no choice, and the government-run industries all had common drawbacks, such as the poor quality of many iron tools, the specifications did not meet the requirements, the price was expensive, and there were also the disadvantages of forcing the people to buy and forcibly conscripting the people to serve.

This has formed a system, if you want to break it, you can only let go of the management rights, but Zhao Zhen is not stupid enough to let go of the mining rights, the mining of iron ore can only be the responsibility of the imperial court, as for iron smelting and manufacturing, private capital can enter.

There was no shortage of iron ore in the Great Song Dynasty, and Wu'an in Handan, Cizhou, was one of the four richest mines in China even in later generations, and the output of coal and iron has always been amazing, and the quality of the ore is very high.

But how to control the iron is another problem, after all, after the iron is private, it is inevitable that there will be an outflow of things, in the feudal era iron is an important strategic resource, once the management right is owned by the private, control is a big problem.

Fortunately, Cai Ji is in his own hands, so is it possible to let Cai Ji monopolize the scriptures? Zhao Zhen touched his chin and meditated.

What is so scary about capital? It's that it swells uncontrollably, and even the controller can't control it.

Just like the current Cai Kee, its goodwill has reached an unprecedented level, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty are eager for Cai Kee's golden signboard, and even Zhao Miaoyuan proposed to merge her Biya Xuan into Cai Kee's banner and develop with the help of Cai Kee's name......

Who would have thought that Cai Ji, who was originally just selling popsicles, would develop into such a situation, which made many businessmen inspired by Cai Boyu's way to make a fortune and plunged into a vigorous entrepreneurship.

Zhao Zhen's happiness comes from here, the more developed the industry and commerce of the Great Song Dynasty, the more solid the economic foundation, and the stronger the risk-bearing power becomes.

The prosperity of commerce has also led to the emergence of another industry that benefits the country and the people, the highway network!

Smart businessmen have been aiming at the transportation industry, with the prosperity of the economy, there is a greater demand for transportation, Zhao Zhen struck while the iron was hot in today's court will be under the decree, the construction of the highway network is delegated to private capital, and the situation of tolls to recover the cost!

For a while, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the ministers were stunned by his will, is the official family crazy? How can you delegate tolls, a tax that can only be collected by the imperial court, to merchants, and the whole world is not the king's land!

For a while, the ministers objected, and the twists and turns came like snowflakes, but all this was in Zhao Zhen's arms, since the ministers were against it, then change it, such as the state investment funds, let the businessmen be responsible for the construction, and then collect the tolls to the state, so that the appearance is not too ugly, and the businessmen can get the sweetness, right?

Zhao Zhen stretched his waist comfortably, picked up the teacup on the table and tasted it, yes, the current roasted tea process is becoming more and more exquisite, the tea fragrance is fragrant and elegant, and it is not as uncomfortable as the original tea group brewing.

Zhao Zhen will never let go of this small tea leaf, and the degree of dependence of the nomads such as the Liao and Dangxiang people on tea is unimaginable.

Thinking of this, he looked at Sancai next to the imperial case, this thing actually stood comfortably next to the pillar and stepped on his toes, holding the dust in his arms and swaying gently, I don't know where he got the habit of getting it from, is it too boring to stand?

"Sancai, go and translate Yan Shu's recital the day before yesterday for me!" Zhao Zhen put down the tea bowl and called to Sancai.

"Slave maid, go ......"

Sancai, as Zhao Zhen's personal eunuch, has an amazing memory, directing Chen Tong on the ladder to move on the huge bookshelf in front of the gable, and after a while, he trotted to deliver a blue floral song.

Zhao Zhen glanced at him: "You can't receive any benefits for this goods, right?" I see you're floating up today. ”

Sancai shouted that he was wronged, and said with a smile on his face: "The official family has wronged the slaves and maids, since the official family has placed an iron card in the palace ban, who will give us benefits?" It's just that the adopted son of the slave maid in Tokyo gave birth to a big fat boy, no, I asked someone to send a message to ask the slave to give me a good name! ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Sancai in surprise, knowing that he had looked at him before he said, "So you have a grandson?" ”

"Official...... Family...... No...... May I? Sancai looked at Zhao Zhen worriedly, this is a normal thing, why are the officials' eyes so strange?

Zhao Zhen patted his head, almost forgetting that it is normal for eunuchs to have adopted a son, and they who are infertile often pass on their ancestry in the way of adopted sons, for example, even if Sancai's grandson is officially passed under the name of Sancai, the family tree must be rewritten.

"Haha...... Happy event, great joy! Have you figured out the name? ”

Seeing that the official family returned to normal, Sancai smiled and said: "The slave hasn't thought about it yet, the official family ...... you look at it."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "This is your grandfather's business, I don't want to overstep the bounds." ”

But Sancai became disappointed instead, and Chen Lin, who was as old as a dried corpse, appeared behind Zhao Zhen and said, "The official family should reward him with a name, this is the blessing of the palace people." Maybe he can even enter the palace to accompany his grandfather! ”

The first half of the sentence is still a good word, but the second half of the sentence makes Sancai very angry: "You old immortal, what grudge do I have with you to cut off my incense!" ”

I don't know if the two of them don't agree or what, as long as Sancai and Chen Lin meet, they will attack each other and abuse each other, as if it has become a part of daily life.

Zhao Zhen patted the table and said, "What's the matter with the two of you?" Pinch when you meet! They are all old people in the palace, what kind of system do they become, and then they will all be thrown out of the palace! ”

Seeing that the official family was angry, the two of them died down, and Sancai lowered his head and muttered: "If you want to go to guard the tomb of the first emperor, just talk to the official family, why do you want to take me as a cut?" His voice was not loud or small, just enough for Zhao Zhen to hear.

"Huh! Didn't I tell you? Staying by my side and retiring in peace is why waste the only time you have left in the mausoleum? ”

Zhao Zhen's dissatisfaction made Chen Lin smile bitterly: "The official family can't use the old slave, the old slave really has nothing to do, there is no way to be born to work hard, and the old slave will not enjoy this kind of thing." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Lin, who was full of gray hair and an old face, and sighed: "I promised my father the last two requests, one is not to kill Zhao Yuanyan's family, and the other is to take care of you until the end ......of your life."

Chen Lin's body trembled slightly, and he bowed gently: "The old slave is wrong." ”

Zhao Zhen closed Yan Shu's recital and put it into the cuff and said: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't keep you, but you can't go to the imperial tomb, how about I give you an errand?" ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he pointed to the small box next to the imperial case and walked out.
