Chapter 265: Layout Chamber of Commerce
"Don't be too happy, the ranch is full of Khitans, and it is divided into five tribes, unruly and unruly, it is much more difficult to manage than our Central Plains people, and the one you will will not necessarily apply to them." Qin Forget reminded.
"I understand the general." Jin Yan agreed, "It's just that my subordinates think that no matter what ethnic group they are, all they think about is the four words of clothing, food, housing and transportation, as long as they make a fuss from these four words, there won't be much trouble." Jin Yan said confidently.
"Well, I don't care what method you use, for a year, I want those people to belong to me completely." If it's not my race, its heart will be different', this sentence still makes sense, and now that I, Akagi, accept them with a tolerant attitude, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen. Qin Forget instructed.
Jin Yan said yes again and again.
The others were secretly frightened, although Jin Yan's suggestion was angrily reprimanded by Qin Wang, but in the blink of an eye, he was so valued, it seemed that the general also agreed with Jin Yan's words, and his performance just now was just to buy people's hearts. However, everyone is not unhappy, Qin Forget is becoming more and more mature politically, no matter what, it is a good thing, but everyone should be careful in the future.
Qin Forget didn't have time to understand Jin Yan and everyone's thoughts, "Time is pressing, you better hurry up." Qin Forget rubbed his brows a little tiredly and said to the military general on the right.
The generals knew that they were going to discuss internal affairs next, and they were not only unnecessary but also wasted time here, so the generals stood up together and said goodbye in unison.
As soon as the generals left, the people in the hall suddenly decreased by more than half, and it was much empty. This is also a helpless thing, Qin Wang's generals are not lacking, but there are very few literati, and now they can only manage Chicheng in an orderly manner.
"Brother Jin, Mrs. Chen, tell me about your progress." Qin Forget took the lead in asking Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er.
As soon as the two of them were about to stand up, they were stopped by Qin Wang's wave of his hand, "You are not soldiers, so you don't need to be like this." Everyone sat down and said, those guys just now shook me dizzy. Qin Forget said with a smile.
"Thank you, General!" Jin Cheng thanked him, but he only sat back with half of the chair on his buttocks, showing respect, "I have already contacted more than thirty businessmen who are good friends with Great Qi and Great Chu, and they have no objection to the general's proposal. 300,000 stone of grain has been prepared, and the 100,000 stone in the early stage has been transported to Chicheng through the Chu fleet, and it will arrive at the Chicheng wharf in 10 days at the latest. ”
"I'm about the same, it turns out that all the shopkeepers of the Wang family have been contacted back, and more than 20 businessmen have also been contacted, and they have also agreed to the general's conditions. There is less food, though
150,000 stones, and because of the overland, although it is closer than Boss Jin, it is much slower, and it can be transported in about a month. Chen Wan'er then said that compared with Jincheng, she is much more casual and elegant. With his legs together, his thin waist straight, and his wonderful curves looming, he was looking at Qin Forget with adoring and blazing eyes.
Qin forgot to avoid Chen Wan'er's gaze, "Okay, very good!" More than 50 businessmen are willing to cooperate with our Akagi, even if they are all small merchants, but they are distributed in all countries of the world, and no matter what goods we want to trade in Akagi in the future, we will have a way. And they, as natives, will naturally have much less prices and tariffs. Unlike those gate valves, which are confined to one country, and if you want to buy goods from other countries, you have to pay a greater price, and you have to be hit by other gate valves, which is our advantage. Qin Forget said happily.
After hearing this, Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er glanced at each other in surprise, they were senior businessmen, it was not strange that they would think of this question, but they didn't expect Qin Wang, a person who had never been in contact with business, to think of this so quickly, if they didn't know Qin Wang's life, they wouldn't believe that this was a person who had never been in business.
"General wizard, Jin Cheng admires." Jin Cheng said with admiration.
And Chen Wan'er's eyes were even brighter, with a pair of wonderful eyes, looking at Qin Forget without blinking.
"Hehe, nothing." Qin Forget smiled modestly, "In addition to feelings, what is not business in the world?" The world is bustling, all for the benefit of exchanges. The world is crowded, all for profit. Whether it is the army or the government, after all, there is no escape from a sharp word. I can send a message to those merchants, as long as they are always on my side with Akagi, I will not hesitate to give them greater convenience, but I want their absolute loyalty. ”
"Don't worry, General, those businessmen are all small and medium-sized businessmen from various countries, and they don't have much backing behind them, and their business is not very big, they are all eager to find better financial resources, so they will naturally obey our Akagi. Then again, whoever dares to make any dirt for us, I will clean him up myself without the general's hands. Jin Cheng said with a sneer.
Chen Wan'er next to her also nodded.
"Very good, you have to prepare all kinds of goods to the maximum extent possible, the jackpot of the tea and horse market, I must pull it out in Chicheng." Qin Forget nodded and instructed again.
"Yes!" Jin Cheng and Chen Wan'er bowed down to receive the order.
Qin Forget looked at Yin Xian and the others, "You have also heard, we are not short of people, food, and materials in Chicheng, everyone, the rest is up to you." Let's talk about the project you are working on. Yin Xian
, you say it first. ”
"Yes, General!" Yin Xian took out a booklet from his arms, "To this day, we have accommodated 156,000 people in Chicheng, of which more than 37,000 are young and strong, and they have all been assigned to major construction sites. There are more than 3,000 large and small shacks for temporary residence, enough to accommodate 200,000 people. Life is almost all needed, but the gaps in bedding and clothes are too big, and there is really nothing that can be done about it. ”
"Bedding and clothes, those displaced people will bring some of them, you pick a slightly better one, clean it up and use it, it should solve a small part. I will give you the tens of thousands of furs in stock, and I will give you 50,000 taels of silver for the rest, go out and buy them, it should be enough. Qin Forget calculated in his heart and gave Yin Xian 50,000 taels of silver.
"That's enough, thank you, General!" Yin Xian was overjoyed, with these 50,000 taels of silver, he could buy 200,000 catties of cotton and cloth, which must be enough. Now that the weather is gradually getting warmer, no matter what, people can't freeze to death.
"Well, it's better to leave it directly to those businessmen who cooperate with us, Brother Jin, pick out the right businessmen, and give those businessmen a little sweetness." Qin Forget groaned for a moment and added.
"Okay, I'll tell them okay, don't make any money you shouldn't earn, and buy as much as you can." Jin Cheng nodded and said.
"Okay, I'll rest assured that you'll do something. Yin Xian, the difficulties have been solved for you, and I don't want any chaos in the rest. ”
"The general can rest assured, after such a long period of exploration, we have already established a rule for the resettlement of refugees, and there will be no trouble." Yin Xian assured with a relaxed face.
"Well, what about you, Wang Ming?" Qin Forget nodded and asked Wang Ming.
"The general saw that the progress of the city walls of Chicheng and Yexian was slow, firstly, the manpower was not very sufficient, and there were only 40,000 people distributed in the two cities. The second is that glutinous rice is scarce, and the weather is too cold to make enough triple soil, and the third is ......"
Since Wang Ming came back from Ye County last time, he had been in a slump for a long time, and Qin Forget handed over the matter of rebuilding Ye County and Chicheng to him, and told him to get up from where he fell. During this time, he worked hard, and the reconstruction of the houses was carried out quickly, but the progress of the walls of the two counties was still slow due to the weather and manpower.
"Okay, I know you're having a lot of difficulties, so tell me what you want, right? How many silver taels, how many people? Qin Wang waved his hand and interrupted Wang Ming's complaint.
Wang Ming smiled bitterly, "If the two cities are built according to the general's requirements, it will require countless silver taels and hundreds of thousands of laborers, and I can't count the exactly." ”
