Half an hour later, full of wine and food.

Most of the guests who came to participate in the banquet left one after another, and Chen Xu specially told a group of shareholders of Huaxia Qianzhuang to go to the headquarters of Qianzhuang for a meeting tomorrow, and then leave Fan Yan and the other four largest steel and coal merchants behind and enter the lounge to drink tea.

"Master Hou, we came to Xianyang together this time, firstly, to visit you, secondly, to see the bulk commodity fair, and by the way, we also collected more than 5 million yuan to donate to the library under construction in the south of the city and the Beijing Normal University......" After sitting down, Fan Yan said the purpose of this trip.

"There are Lao Fan Gong and others who are worried, you really have to get this money, your ancestor Tao Zhu Gong ranked eighteenth in the selection of 100 sages this time, which is not only the honor of your Fan family, but also the honor of the world's businessmen, it can be seen that the world's businessmen are not only for profit and ignore etiquette, Ben Hou is actually very happy!" Chen Xu nodded with a smile while drinking tea.

"What Master Hou said is that I am fortunate to have honor!" The four of them all echoed along.

"You can go to Huaxia Qianzhuang to go through the transfer procedures by yourself, and leave the name of the donor, this matter is not under my control, but I don't know if Fan Gong has read the letter sent back by Caiying last time?" Chen Xu put down the teacup, and his face calmed down.

Fan Yan hurriedly stood up and cautiously arched his hand and said, "Master Hou, Cai Ying's letter has already been read!" ”

"Well, now that I've seen it, what is Fan Gong's plan, and what are the other three plans?" Chen Xu didn't ask in the slightest subtle way, now that he is the left minister or an honorable prince, there is no place to be polite in the face of these businessmen.

What's more, the practices of Fan and others have already made him dislike.

"Master Hou!" Fan Yan and the three big businessmen all turned a little pale in an instant, and after standing up together and bowing their heads to look at each other, Fan Yan spoke, "I have already discussed what Hou Ye said, and everything is done according to Hou Ye's instructions, and some other peers have also written to inform them, it may be that the distance is far away or they have not received it, so it is not all ......."

"It doesn't matter, even if no one comes to Benhou, you can understand, but since you have decided to accept Benhou's suggestion, then after you go back this time, you must complete the integration of steel, coal, mining, transportation and smelting industries as soon as possible, adjust the scale to become bigger and stronger, it is best to change the current scattered situation, and form one or two large joint-stock iron and steel enterprises, after the autumn, you will come to Xianyang again to find me, and then Benhou will report your request to the emperor, and you will be allowed to have a noble title no less than that of the Marquis of Qing, In the future, there will be a quota for directly recommending the heirs of the family to various colleges and Beijing Normal University, but you can also rest assured, it is not Benhou who wants to strip off your property, these factories and mines will still be managed by you in the future, and you will also share dividends from them every year, but the majority of the profits will go to the imperial court and the Shaofu...... Have you figured out the meaning and Benhou's painstaking efforts? ”

Chen Xu looked at the four business leaders in front of him, almost all of whom were pale haired.

These four people, all of whom are powerful tycoons in Daqin, have a family property of at least 50 million, and the entire steel industry will tremble if they stomp their feet, even if they are court officials in person, they must deal with it carefully.

Although the status of these people is not high, they are almost all closely related to the Qinghe Marquis, who originally controlled the logistics warehouses and a large number of service stations in the entire Dongfang Road, and now control the steel lifeline of Daqin, not only owning a large number of steel and coal mine management rights, but also controlling hundreds of thousands of people, prisoners and slaves, this force is so large that it is unsettling.

Once anyone has reached a certain level of wealth, they want to seek honor and status that matches their wealth.

But in this era of despising merchants, it is too difficult for merchants to make progress, so they can only make money desperately, hoping to earn the wealth of the rich country.

Chen Xu is now using an oppressive and commanding method to force them to hand over a large amount of wealth, and then convert a coveted identity for them.

When he received the letter at that time, Fan Yan was both scared and excited after reading it.

In fact, for a family of business leaders like Fan, money is just a number, and they care more about their identity, otherwise they will not repeatedly emphasize the title of their business leader, which is not only a recognition of their fair and well-known reputation, but also a kind of life-saving talisman for them when they are in chaos.

No matter who rebels or becomes the emperor, it is easy to kill tens of millions of ordinary people, but if you kill a well-known celebrity, the consequences are very unpredictable, so many businessmen began to build bridges and roads to do some good deeds after they became rich, not because they really wanted to do good, but because they just won people's hearts.

But this kind of thing is understandable, there is a gain to pay, their motives may not be pure, but the things they do can still be called good deeds, it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, so these good deeds are called benevolent business or righteous business, it can be seen that people's hearts are bound to be good, and benevolence and righteousness are showing the moral direction of society.

Therefore, after reading Chen Xu's letter, Fan Yan found three big businessmen who had developed rapidly with Chen Xu like himself, and after some thoughtful discussion, they decided to accept Chen Xu's suggestion.

This kind of thing seems to have suffered heavy losses, but as long as it is still tied to the Marquis of Qinghe, the future of the family is still unlimited, but if you are short-sighted and reluctant to give up these money, you will inevitably be excluded from the Qinghe Group in the future, and your actions will be restricted and excluded by your peers everywhere, especially the major projects of the country will almost lose your qualifications.

"Now that you have all figured it out, then Ben Hou is not enough to say, the business in the world is not only steel and coal, just said at the banquet, soon after the whole Daqin will start a huge project with a scale of billions, when the time comes, you can set your sights on these emerging fields, and in a few years you will earn more than ten times the benefits of the steel industry, this is Ben Hou's promise to you, if you do well enough, you will have to seal a prince in the future...... That...... It's also possible......"

"Poof~~" An old man with gray hair sat directly on the ground, and Fan Yan and the other three were also struck by lightning almost at the same time, their faces were dull, their mouths were open, and they stared at Chen Xu.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, you ...... What you say is ...... While...... Seriously? ”

Fan Yan trembled, and his snow-white beard and eyebrows trembled.

"Ben Hou just said that there is a possibility, sit down and talk, this matter has not been ......skimmed yet" Chen Xuyun picked up the teacup and drank tea lightly, and several old men sat down on the chair in a daze, and kept touching their bodies and faces, feeling that their souls were still in a semi-detached state.

"Have you read the previous issues of Daqin Metropolis Daily about Yingzhou?"

"I've seen it, I've seen it!" The four old men all nodded vigorously.

"Overseas is big, not only Yingzhou is an island, you all know that Daqin will reach farther west after passing through the Liang Kingdom and the Western Regions countries, this time the Dawan country that just came to Daqin to envoy is outside the Western Regions, thousands of miles away from Daqin, and Dawan to the west, there are tens of thousands of miles of territory, there are hundreds of countries, and countless people, there are all kinds of jewelry and spices and countless gold and silver treasures that I Daqin does not have, and the western land is not only from the land, as long as you drive a large sea ship along Minyue to the South China Sea, There are countless islands scattered within a radius of thousands of miles, and it is also possible to reach the western countries by bypassing these islands, and it only takes half a year to sail from the sea at most......"

"Master Hou...... You...... You didn't lie to me......" The old man who was sitting on the ground in fright, came back to his senses and stammered.

"What is the benefit of Ben Hou deceiving you, as long as you have carefully watched the Metropolis Daily over the years, you should guess this ending, the world is so big, far from what you imagine, my Daqin is just a corner, the vastness of the territory outside Daqin is breathtaking, although the matter of the feudal marquis that Ben Hou just said is very slim, but it is not impossible to achieve, you and other family have a big business and a lot of money, you only need to build a big ship and hire shipwrights and sailors to go to the South China Sea or even to the West, do business with those foreign countries, and even expand the territory and take root in the local development, As long as you have a piece of land, and you have the title of Marquis, it is not impossible to ask the emperor to reward the name of a prince at that time, after all, those countries in Nanyang and the West are too far away, and the court whip is beyond reach, only the princes are the most convenient, the only thing is that you must recognize the rule of the Great Qin Central Empire, raise the prestige of my Great Qin, proclaim my Great Qin etiquette, and pay the taxes that should be paid......"

"I ...... I...... Brother Zheng helped ...... Helping the old and decaying, I'm dizzy......"

Fan Yan, who had always been the most emotionally calm, couldn't bear Chen Xu's information bomb at this time, his face turned red in an instant, his whole body trembled violently, and he grabbed an old man next to him and kept shaking, while the other three old men sitting next to him were even more uneasy, one by one, their hands and feet twitched like they had goat epilepsy, and their lips trembled with signs of stroke.

"Don't get too excited, this is just speculation...... It's just a guess! Chen Xu felt that he couldn't continue to stimulate.

These four old men are the seeds of his future reform of the court, and they are also his descendants, if they suddenly hang up, the hard work he has planned for a long time will be in vain.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, it's not a guess, the ...... of this matter It's a possibility! I didn't expect ...... I, the Zheng family, still have the opportunity to become a prince...... Opportunity ......" An old man had already immersed himself in the beautiful vision of the prince, and his excited teeth began to knot when he spoke.

"Yes, if it is really successful, my Wen clan will also be a country of princes, and the glory of the ancestors...... Woo woo woo ...... "The other old man cried like a child.

Under the infection, soon the four old men hugged each other's heads and cried for a long time, and the cry spread to the door, and a group of forbidden soldiers and guards guarding the courtyard all looked at each other, and Huang Fuque and a group of maids who were standing in the corridor were even more confused, I don't know what the Hou Ye did to the four old men in the room, and they actually made everyone cry.

Chen Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, was also full of helplessness at this time, so he had to slowly start drinking tea, until the four old men calmed down after crying, and then the teacup said: "Don't spread this matter, but about overseas things can be widely publicized, because these will be published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily soon, the so-called step by step, you have been following Ben Hou since the beginning of the preparation of Huaxia Qian Zhuang and the creation of horse pawn equipment, Therefore, this kind of thing will naturally give priority to you business leaders who are known for their benevolence and righteousness, and I also hope that you will make a good start and example for other businessmen......"

"The future of Daqin, not only the development of the country, but also the vast and unlimited West and overseas world to develop and occupy, you must not limit your vision to the industry you belong to, let alone only see the interests and benefits of Daqin, you are not only businessmen, but also the mainstay of the development of Daqin, Daqin's prosperity and wealth today are inseparable from your hard work, and after the Great Qin became a super empire that ruled the world and ruled hundreds of millions of people, you are also pioneers, there are mistakes should be punished, and merit should be rewarded, If you really get great merit in the tide of overseas development, I believe that Your Majesty will not turn a blind eye, and Benhou will also raise this matter at the right time, so ......"

Chen Xu's eyes swept over the four old men who were still in tears.

"Don't just think that you are just a businessman, you must firmly believe that you are the Marquis of Great Qin, and you are the princes who will defend Great Qin and protect China in the future, and this Marquis has high hopes for you!"

"Puff~"

"Puff~"

The four of them all knelt in front of Chen Xu and kowtowed.

"Hou Ye, I didn't know what was going on before, and today I have to get the Hou Ye to mention that I will finally see the clouds, and in the future, I will only see the Hou Ye's horse, and I will not hesitate!" Fan Yan said with a shudder.

"Fan Gong, please get up, all the princes please get up!" Chen Xu stretched out his hand to help the four old men up, with a warm smile on his face.
