After discussing the development of Yizhou with Lu Su, Yuan Shu began to meet with the civil and military personnel of Yizhou.

Although Yizhou, as a country of abundance, is said to sit back and relax, it is difficult to become a British lord, but there are also many fierce generals. Although these people's eyes and knowledge may be inferior to those of the Central Plains, it is enough to satisfy Yuan Shu.

I sent some local products from Jiangdong and Jingzhou, and asked for warmth. Although this kind of thing is trivial, Yuan Shu, as the master of the people, has to do it. In this kind of traffic blockade in ancient times, if you want to control the forces under your command, you must be familiar with the courtiers under your command and win people's hearts.

Although Yuan Shu acted strangely, this kind of thing had to be done. After all, it is not enough to rely on a pure heart, if you want to achieve great things, there is no means, how can the people under your command follow you with all their hearts?

After staying in Chengdu's Thorn History Mansion for more than half a month and meeting with nearly a thousand officials from all over Yizhou, Yuan Shu was free to deal with other things.

"Zijing, how is the situation in Nanban now?" Yuan Shu asked Lu Su while sweeping the situation in Yizhou during this time at a glance.

Lu Su stepped forward and said respectfully: "My lord, Su has been arranging according to the plan formulated by my lord, and there are basically no omissions. Now everything is smooth in Nanban, and the merchants go to Nanban to trade under the organization of my Yizhou government. With the government's supervision, there is nothing wrong with the businessmen's behavior. ”

Yuan Shu nodded: "That's fine." You are busy during this time, you must strictly manage the officials in charge of the Nanban business, try to put an end to the misdeeds of those profiteers before, and avoid the people of the Nanban from being deceived. In another year or two, the prices in Nanban should be completely stabilized, and it will be easier at that time. ”

Lu Su nodded: "My lord, the problem of Nanban is not big, and the problem of the family is the most serious." As soon as your remarks came out, all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods appeared on the border of Yizhou, and all kinds of unscrupulous businessmen began to wander around Yizhou to disturb local prices. There are already quite a few small countries that have expressed their dissatisfaction with us. ”

Yuan Shu snorted disdainfully: "Dissatisfied? Just by them? ”

Lu Su sighed and said: "Lord, although the attitude of these small countries doesn't matter, this easy defeat of the Nanban has greatly deterred these small countries, and they don't dare to come forward." But the family's behavior is indeed a bit excessive, and such reckless meddling in the affairs of so many small countries will inevitably bring me notoriety for a long time. It should still be restricted, after all, my Jiangdong wants to annex the surrounding small countries, and it is better to convince people with virtue. ”

Yuan Shu looked at the speed of the fold, paused, and casually picked up the specially carved jade seal and covered it on the fold. The word "read" jumped on the paper, and Yuan Shu was too lazy to this extent.

Touching the short beard on his chin, Yuan Shu pondered for a while and said, "Yes." These families are a little too jumpy, and they don't even know the truth of boiling frogs in warm water. It seems that he was really carried away by the closure of the country, and it was time to limit it. ”

"Zijing, pass the order, all roads in the southwest of Yizhou will be patrolled by troops, and no businessman other than official businessmen will be allowed to leave the country for trading." As soon as Yuan Shu thought about it for a while, he easily tied a chain to the family.

"Officials and businessmen?" Lu Su was surprised. He knows what officials and businessmen are, and the Zhen family in Jiangdong is a typical example. Although ninety percent of the interests are handed over to the state, the resources at hand are far from being comparable to ordinary businessmen.

Although Koto treats merchants quite favorably, there are also many corresponding restrictions. The amount of money deposited in Jiangdong Money Bank does not reach a certain amount, and you are not qualified to meddle in some things at all. Even for some large merchants, there are big restrictions on the size of the transaction.

Now there are three official and commercial families in the entire Jiangdong, the Mi family, the Zhen family, and the Cai family. Needless to say, the Cai family is in charge, Cai Yi is actually Yuan Shu's small treasury. Yuan Shu's personal expenses all come from this. Mi Zhu of the Mi family and Zhang of the Zhen family have already chosen to take refuge in Yuan Shu with great fanfare, and their entire net worth has stayed in Jinling, so there is no need to worry.

These three officials and businessmen are completely giant existences in the business world of Jiangdong. Nearly half of the goods in Jiangdong were sold by these three companies, and although ninety percent of the profits were handed over, the interests still made countless businessmen want to die. But it's a pity that Yuan Shu has no intention of expanding the scale of government and business, even if the Lu family asks, Yuan Shu does not let go at all.

Yuan Shu now stipulates that only officials and businessmen are allowed to trade abroad, which is obviously to expand the scale of officials and businessmen! Otherwise, wouldn't everything you have done so far be in vain?

"The lord wants to expand the government and business?"

Yuan Shu nodded: "Since some people have been looking forward to it for so long, it's time to relax." ”

"But I don't know what are the restrictions on becoming an official businessman?"

"More than seventy percent of the property is placed in Jiangdong Qianzhuang, at least more than 3 million yuan, and the net profit of goods transactions in Jiangdong is handed over to 10%, and the net profit of foreign trade transactions is handed over to half."

Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, not that he felt that this condition was harsh, on the contrary, this condition was too lenient.

"What about the Zhen family and the Mi family?"

Yuan Shuyi waved his hand: "The treatment of the three of them remains the same, and they have been promoted to imperial merchants." ”

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that this official businessman is not another official businessman, and Yuan Shu has made a weakened version of the official businessman.

"Then my lord, what are the privileges of this official businessman?"

"Only the official merchants and the imperial merchants are qualified to conduct foreign trade, and as soon as the other merchants are discovered, all their property will be confiscated, and all those involved will be sent to work as coolies, and the time depends on the seriousness of the circumstances. In addition, officials and businessmen can also obtain a certain amount of government support. ”

The corners of Yuan Shu's mouth hooked, and he knew that he was going to make a lot of money again.

Lu Su pondered in his heart, doesn't this mean that only families with officials and businessmen are qualified to engage in fiefdoms? With a capital of three million, even the family can't get a few. Yuan Shu is holding money in disguise!

After Yuan Shu's exposure to it, Lu Su, who was already extremely sensitive to the economy, gradually understood the true meaning of wealth. Tomorrow's money is far less precious than today's money, and Yuan Shu can quietly take a lot of wealth from the family into his arms.

Although Yuan Shu said it very well, there is a certain amount of government support. But with the connections and power of the family, why do they need the support of the government? Except for a handful of top businessmen who have really made their fortunes on their own, this support is simply useless.

Moreover, Lu Su expected that Yuan Shu would definitely impose certain restrictions on officials and businessmen, and would never be too cheap for the families. After getting along for a long time, Lu Su slowly understood what kind of lord he was. The Lord who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle always thinks about maximizing the benefits, and this is especially true for the family.

Every time a piece of cake is thrown, the family has to lose half a pound of meat. The fief was thrown out before, and as a result, the land of the family was confiscated. What was thrown out this time was even more terrifying, sealing the country, if the families didn't give some blood, Yuan Shu would definitely not be reconciled.

I'm afraid that this matter of officials and businessmen is just a dessert before the meal, and the real big head is still to come.
