"Such a superficial discordant plan, thanks to Zhao Hao's idea."

Shi Hui sat upright in front of a large bed made of yellow pears, and respectfully handed a cup of hot tea to the old man who was swallowing clouds and fog on the bed.

The pungent smoke in Shi Xie's mouth and nose was swirling, but he looked very happy.

It took a long time to clear his throat and glare at his son with cloudy eyes.

"Zhao Haotian is a genius, first retire Sun Quan, and then capture Xiahou, this tea and cigarettes are also made by him, how can he be as shallow and useless as you."

"Uh......" Shi Hui's hand holding the teacup trembled.

"How's it going to do what I told you?"

"My father instructed me to appease Long Bian, but he provoked the Huan family, and his son has already done a good job, please rest assured.

The Huan family has suffered a catastrophe, and now the main thing has become Huan Fa's kid, who is grateful for our help, and vows to die with Zhao Hao. ”

Seeing Shi Hui's eyes shining, Shi Xie spat out his cigarette disdainfully.

"You don't really want to help the Huan family kill Zhao Hao, do you?"

"Isn't that what my father meant?"

"Stupid."

Shi Xie rubbed his head in pain, slowly stood up, and stood by the window with his hands in his hands.

"You brothers, I am most optimistic about you, but if you are like this, I don't worry about handing Jiaozhou into your hands."

Shihui was suddenly sweating profusely, he prostrated on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "I wish to listen to my father's teachings." ”

"Our Jiaozhou is remote, the population is sparse, and the people here are aggressive and brave, otherwise when the world is in chaos, I can also raise troops to get a piece of the pie......

At present, Liu Bei occupies most of Jingzhou, and his soldiers are strong and strong, which is the time to plot the world.

If we kill Zhao Hao, Liu Bei will be angry and will come with a large army.

With us, how to confront Liu Bei's elite soldiers?

Our Shi family has been majestic in Jiaozhou for a long time, but this Jiaozhou will one day return to the imperial court, and your temperament should be changed a little. ”

Shihui has been the king and hegemon in Jiaozhou since he was a child, where to put the court in his eyes, hearing Shixie say this, his heart suddenly felt uneasy.

"Could it be that in the future, our scholars will have to bow down to the people of the court and never go back to the past?"

"Hey, what do you mean by bowing your head to the ear?

It is the duty of a courtier to be obedient to the court, and we are so deferential, the court naturally needs us to come forward to manage this place. ”

"What do you mean is that we will continue to curry favor with Zhao Hao, and wait for him to become a supreme minister in the future......"

Shi Xie shook his head slowly,

"Zhao Hao is a person on the road, why do you think he let go of the killing?

He wants to express his attitude to us, and in the future, he will rely on our scholar family in an all-round way.

We will scatter all our children, and hold all the official positions in the hands of our own people, even if Zhao Hao is gone, we will have to completely rely on our forces if we change the Taishou. ”

"It's really that far, what does it matter who does it this day?"

……

Naturally, no one dared to occupy the land of the Huan family, but Zhao Hao was honest and polite, and directly assigned all the territory of the Huan family to his name.

He first sent the Beiwei army to take over all the land of the Huan family in Longbian, and then began to frantically contact the large and small caravans of Jiaozhi, and began to sell tea, tobacco and Shu brocade.

The big and small merchants of Jiaozhi have never been treated as guests by Taishou and Thorn Shi, and they are at a loss for what to do, thinking that Taishou and Thorn Shi have taken a fancy to their wealth and are ready to have a Hongmen banquet.

Especially when Pang Hui, who has a big waist and a round waist, will take a group of wolf-like warriors to wave sticks and force them to go to the post station, the uneasiness in their hearts is even more obvious.

As soon as he saw Zhao Hao, he couldn't wait to plop down and kneel, and consciously took out the golden cake from his sleeve to pay respect.

"Oh, what are you doing so politely, come on, and bring something."

Zhao Hao accepted all the orders honestly and unceremoniously, but he also showed the greatest respect for these businessmen, comforted them for a long time, and personally led them to sit down and let them serve them fragrant tea.

"This official is the first time to come to the treasure land, and I ask you to take care of it.

I see that Jiaozhou is prosperous, you have a lot of credit, here to replace the wine with tea, first toast you a glass. ”

From the Warring States period, the status of merchants began to be suppressed.

There's no way, they all go to business, and there are fewer people who farm.

And the nature of businessmen is like that, in order to make huge profits, they can do whatever it takes, and they don't know how much they have done to harm farmers, which can easily lead to the collapse of the world.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a reckoning order, he collected 6% of the commercial tax and was sprayed into a dog by a group of merchants.

In the long years of the Han Dynasty, although the influence of merchants was still huge, the high-ranking officials and nobles who pursued the concept of saints looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts and only took advantage of them a little.

It is really very rare for Zhao Hao to treat businessmen as guests, and a group of businessmen look at each other, completely unsure of what to do.

"Too polite, we and other grass people have been doing business in Jiaozhi for generations, and we have to rely on Taishou to breathe, and ask Taishou to take care of one or two."

Shihui heard that Zhao Hao was entertaining the merchants at the post station, and he hurried over.

When I entered the door, I happened to see Zhao Hao carrying a copper kettle, pouring tea for everyone, and standing in the center with a passionate mouth, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"I have long heard that Zhao Hao values businessmen rather than gentlemen, and it is true.

Hmph, mercenary villain. ”

But this kind of person is much easier to deal with.

"The king of Hanzhong hangs the people and fights the crime, and is about to revitalize the Han dynasty and restore the Central Plains, and all kinds of Jiaozhi fathers and elders are now also facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune——"

"The king of Hanzhong took pity on the suffering of the Li people, and felt the support of the people of Jiaozhi, and specially asked me to bring a big project to Jiaozhi to bring you to make a fortune, and you will have the opportunity to become rich in the world in the future."

Shi Hui listened to it on the side, and said in his heart how Zhao Hao talked one by one, it was a big project and a fortune, and Liu Bei's comments didn't seem to be like this.

"As we all know, salt and iron are the monopoly of the imperial court, and many people tie their heads to their belts to engage in illegal salt, just to get a chance to make a fortune.

The king of Hanzhong is ready to list tea and tobacco as a monopoly of the imperial court, and the price of tea and cigarettes will soar in the near future, such as Shu brocade is generally called hard goods, and now hoarding tea and tobacco, called an agent, and you will be able to enjoy the treatment of the imperial court officials in the future.

Your business is protected by the imperial court, your sales channels are provided by the imperial court, and all you need is to stock up at home and actively cooperate with the imperial court. ”

Several businessmen looked at each other, and finally someone had the courage to say:

"Taishou-sama, we know this tea, but what is smoke......

"You don't know that?

Oh my God, this is the most popular thing in the Central Plains right now, and it's called a life-saving straw! ”

Zhao Hao pretended to sigh in surprise, and quickly clapped his hands, asked someone to send a bunch of cigarettes, lit one under the stunned gaze of everyone, and slowly spit out a puff of intoxicating smoke.

"Believe me, I, Zhao Hao, never deceive people, invest early and harvest early, and invest late with no return.

I, Zhao Hao, have never been strong, and have always been in line with the principle of voluntariness, when cigarettes and tea are rampant in the world in the future, everyone can know that I am indeed thinking about everyone. ”

Monopoly is the best way to make money, everyone knows this.

Tea is loved by everyone, and there must be no problem with being popular all over the world, but what about this cigarette......

Seeing that Zhao Hao didn't say anything about compulsion, those businessmen also started to play Tai Chi one after another, expressing their support with flowers, but they all said that they would go back and think about it.

Shi Hui tiptoed over and said with a smile:

"Mrs. Zhao is in good spirits."

"Hmm, what does Mr. Gonghe have to say?"

"No, no, I just think that these people in the market, Zhao Taishou is actually willing to deal with them in person, it's really ...... Hehe, it's too much to give these people face. ”

Zhao Hao is colorful:

"Mr. Gonghe, I'm thinking about the interests of our two families, otherwise, how can I talk to these villains?"

"Huh?"

"Have you forgotten that I said that I was going to give you the exclusive right to operate these cigarettes?"

"This ......" Shihui really forgot, this will hear Zhao Hao say, and he was a little puzzled, "Then why do you still call them?" ”

Zhao Hao sighed hatefully,

"Gonghe, I'm doing this for everyone's sake. This tobacco roll needs to be picked and packaged, and these need to be firmly grasped in our hands.

But what about sales? This is not a necessity, do we have to go out and show up to engage in these transactions, and do these things like businessmen? ”

"yes......"

"That's why I called these people. We firmly control the supply of goods in our own hands, and these people distribute to us, isn't it profitable and wealthy? ”

Shi Hui's eyes lit up and said, "That's true." ”

Seeing that Zhao Hao was thinking so much about himself, he finally put his mind at ease to Zhao Hao completely, and said in his heart:

"Cigarettes will be popular in the future, and if the imperial court takes back the right to operate, won't we be cut off from our money?"

"Hey, that's not right, I'm an official of the imperial court, your scholars are enlightened gentry, we are the representatives of the imperial court, we operate, isn't it the imperial court that operates?"

He lowered his voice and whispered:

"I'll leave sooner or later, but our business still has to go on.

I am only responsible for providing you with goods, and I will give you the pricing power, how much income you have, you can just give me half of it. ”

Damn it, it's going to be divided in half......

Shihui was a little painful, but after all, this kind of thing was in the hands of others, and the more greedy Zhao Hao was, the more beneficial it would be to him.

"Okay, don't worry, you must be indispensable."

"Our business will grow big in the future, and we have to worry about some people's eyes.

Wait for the spring of next year, I will transfer the Beiwei army, and I will ...... In the name of rounding up the demon monks and monks, when the time comes, we will divide the land in Zhu Yuan and other places, and widely plant tobacco to market the Central Plains, and the profits will ......

It's not rolling in yet. ”

Shi Hui's eyes were red with excitement, he quickly nodded, and said: "Zhao Taishou is really smart, and only Zhao Taishou is the head of the horse in everything for the grass people!" ”
