In the era when the word profit is at the head, the relationship under any premise is inseparable from the word interest.

Zhao Zongwu gave Penglai Chamber of Commerce such a strong help, the purpose was to let Penglai Chamber of Commerce earn more benefits for him.

Under the premise of his own extreme lack of money, any individual or group who dares to touch the Penglai Chamber of Commerce is a mortal enemy with him Zhao Zongwu!

Of course, in this world where the rivers and lakes are always standing, it is not possible to solve the problem simply and rudely by simply fighting and killing.

The stretching of space and time makes it difficult to maintain a network of people before doing anything, and the best way to operate a network is to balance interests.

The capital that Zhao Zongwu has now is not as only one Penglai Chamber of Commerce as it seems on the surface, although the Penglai Chamber of Commerce has indeed earned a lot of money, but with the series of victories achieved by Donghai Town in the Liaodong region, as well as the rapid expansion of Donghai Town's territory in the Liaodong region, the new source of money has been stabilized.

Salt and iron franchise.

Since Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, came up with this system, this also made the foundation for the imperial court to obtain important financial resources have been stabilized.

What is Tokai Town?

Most of them are adjacent to the sea, or in the sea area, in addition to the endless fishery resources in the sea, the more important thing is the inexhaustible sea salt market!

As one of the important sources of human intake, it is okay if you don't eat salt for a day or two, but once you don't eat salt for a long time, it will make the body weak and weak.

This is nothing for the gentry and other wealthy people, the above situation is nothing, after all, there are people around to take care of the left, but the people who are struggling in the food and clothing line are different, once the body is weak and weak, then it is impossible to work hard to earn what you need.

Grow food, work hard, and work hard for people...... Which one of these doesn't require a lot of effort?

The reason why the southeast region is so rich, which really has to be counted in detail, is nothing more than having a stable salt source output, based on this premise, can derive a series of business belts.

Salt, grain, tea, silk, textiles, porcelain...... With a more active market, then there is an enviable foundation of wealth, which is a complementary process, and once there is a problem in any of these links, the impact is huge.

"The Penglai Chamber of Commerce is now encountering these problems, and fundamentally speaking, it still does not grasp the fundamental understanding, if you want to ensure the stability of interests in the Ming Dynasty, then no matter how you move, you can't do without the two fundamentals of salt and grain!" Although Zhao Zongwu provided a series of help, what he wanted was to really encircle a group of like-minded allies on the surface.

If Daming wants to have a good development and want Donghai Town to develop by leaps and bounds, in addition to his own efforts, he must let more people know about Donghai Town, and let more people join the derivative sphere of influence circle of Donghai Town, even if he can't enter the core decision-making circle, but the peripheral derivative sphere of influence circle is still possible.

Since starting from scratch in Guangning City, Zhao Zongwu has used a series of schemes in this struggle to snatch it through careful camouflage and intrigue.

There is no such thing as a pie from the sky.

Zhao Zongwu didn't have a father with a lot of capital, and it was impossible for him to have this factor, so he had to be ready for everything.

Since he wants to completely solve the hidden problem of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, then he must think ahead, in addition to showing his muscles to the powerful forces and local gentry in the southeast region, it is more important to let them know in their hearts that in addition to being friends with the Penglai Chamber of Commerce, they can obtain greater benefits, otherwise your losses will be very huge.

In addition to the emerging industries such as glass, perfume, and soap, the more important old pillar industries are to support all the roots!

Under the system of the feudal dynasty, the salt and iron monopoly was the largest old pillar industry, and the next most important thing was grain.

With the current demand of Donghai Town, iron and grain are extremely scarce, so the only thing that can be done is salt, and it just so happens that Donghai Town already has a complete industrial chain.

Previously, Zhao Zongwu thought in his heart that relying on those emerging industries would be enough to conquer the southeast region, but after tasting it carefully, he found that if he wanted to truly tame the southeast region, then using the huge amount of salt industry as the foundation, that was the most important existence.

"It is unrealistic to engage in grain in the southeast, and there is an extreme shortage of food in Donghai Town at present, and the purpose of playing grain in the southeast is to exchange for greater benefits, and they are together with the gentry and heroes in the Central Plains, and the Jin merchants in the north, and the benefits are different.

Since we can't satisfy them in terms of grain, then we will satisfy them in the salt section, although the southeast region is also an important place for salt production, but for the demand for salt, I believe that no one will be unable to live with silver.

The Ming Dynasty's demand for salt is very considerable, coupled with the power of the southeast region and the local gentry, they all have their own set of interest circles, which as long as they invest in the bulk of salt sources, the benefits are visible to the naked eye! ”

After clearly understanding this, Zhao Zongwu explained his thoughts to Yin Weijie, although there are still many twists and turns hidden in it.

But people themselves are complex and changeable, if there is no need for these interests, then there will be no general trend in the world at all, if you divide for a long time, and you must divide for a long time.

From small individuals to large countries, the fundamental truth is that everything is inseparable.

Hearing Zhao Zongwu's story, Yin Weijie immediately said: "If Uncle can support the Penglai Chamber of Commerce to use salt, we are willing to make a military order and completely capture the southeast region within a year!" ”

Originally, Yin Weijie also discussed with Li Shuo in Jinling because of the matter of salt, although the Penglai Chamber of Commerce has many emerging money-making industries, but it is relatively weak in the foundation, and this is mainly reflected in whether it can solve the troubles for the business partners, and most of the troubles are actually generated around salt.

Now that the problem has been solved, all the hidden dangers and scruples have been eliminated one by one, if they have such a foundation, Yin Weijie and Li Shuo still can't solve the problem, then they are not worthy of being in charge of the Penglai Chamber of Commerce at all!

This also shows that Zhao Zongwu has a big problem with knowing people, after all, Yin Weijie and Li Shuo were all chosen by Zhao Zongwu himself.

Of course, Zhao Zongwu's vision will not be so low!
