"But even if these guys were willing to help us, they wouldn't be trading at a loss, would they? When the time comes, if we want to collect grain, don't we need to buy it with real money? ”

Hong Chengchou knows Hongmen's income well, although Li Tianyang said the solution to one of the problems, Hong Chengchou also gave the problems caused by this solution.

"Hey, hey, Mr. Hong, why can't you understand?"

Li Tianyang's questions about Hong Chengchou were not as worried about Wu Jie and them as he was thousands of miles away, after all, these things happened under Li Tianyang's nose, or he had laid it out for a long time, so he was naturally full of confidence.

"Although we don't have much money, you should also know the fact that this group of Nanyang merchants is already on the same boat as our Hongmen."

With the blockade of the trade line between Daming and Hongmen, more and more merchants began to find ways to break through this line of defense, and the best way was to directly move the industry to the territory of Hongmen.

Although there are countless unique products in the inland of the Ming Dynasty, the loss of the Ming Dynasty and then the industrial belt of everyone's ocean trade has become less, and the interests have naturally declined, but the industry has moved to the territory of Hongmen, and everyone can at least do the trade of the East, the Americas, the South Seas and the West, which is much better than struggling under the depressed economic territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after many considerations, more and more merchants of the Ming Dynasty moved their industries to Hongmen, at least the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which had a deep relationship with Hongmen, and the business proprietors of Shizhi Jiǔ, all moved their main forces to the territory controlled by Hongmen.

Naturally, the population of the Hongmen Islands is prosperous, and the population of at least 100,000 people has grown, but the wealth brought is immeasurable.

And when their darkening industry moved to the territory of Hongmen, it actually means that the relationship between them and Hongmen has become extremely close, and if they want to get more wealth, they want to continue to operate the specialties of the Ming Dynasty, etc., then they must stand on the same front as Hongmen, at least in this way, the returns they can get will be more generous.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

And in this, there is also an excellent example, that is, the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce who invested in Hongmen to launch the Liaodong War before, and now with the development and growth of Liaodong, they have gradually benefited from stability and money.

Among them, the income brought by the Anshan mine, the distribution of pig iron resources and its affiliated copper and silver mines have made countless businessmen blush, but they want to participate at this time, but there is no way.

However, they don't really have no chance at all, and the battle between Hongmen and Daming Zhijian, the final competition is naturally the ruling power of the Central Plains of China for the next hundred years. And such a power struggle, of course, has great risks, but at the same time, the rewards are also very rich.

And Hongmen also has a big advantage, so that the merchants who join the Hongmen system do not have to worry too much about their future investment, which will lead to death, that is, the main industrial territory of Hongmen is above the vast sea, even if the battle for domination of the Central Plains finally fails, but as long as the Hongtang fleet does not suffer too much loss, Hongmen still has enough self-protection power.

This also means that the merchants under the jurisdiction of Hongmen do not need to worry about their retreat, the loss of foreign goods, for them, there is really no need to really care too much, there are examples erected by the predecessors of Qin Lu Buwei, but also let these businessmen with strong ambitions in their hearts, not only do not want to become spectators in the Central Plains War, but are willing to become one of them and take the initiative to join in.

"If we don't have any money, we can continue to issue bonds to the proprietors of the businesses in our territory, and believe me, they will definitely welcome our bonds."

"Door master, you have said, this is a bond, even if we issue bonds to these businessmen, but in the end we all have to pay it back, we can't be that treacherous person!"

Although Hong Chengchou has experienced countless spiritual bombardments of new things in Hongmen, and opened up the way of thinking that has been imprisoned for many years, he still retains a lot of deep-rooted things, and his worries at this time are not at all afraid for Li Tianyang.

"Also? Of course! ”

Li Tianyang smiled, but if there were people like Wu Jie who were familiar with Li Tianyang, and saw Li Tianyang's sly smile, I am afraid that a wave of sympathy for other businessmen would immediately appear in his mind.

"But we don't necessarily need to use real money to pay it back!"

As if worried that Hong Chengchou still didn't understand what he meant, Li Tianyang continued to explain.

"My territory in China is so large, and the wealth contained in it is also innumerable, for example, Fujian, which is separated from us by a sea, has wealth opportunities that you can't imagine."

"We can draw a big pie and give the visible wealth opportunities to these investors as a repayment price, and let them toss for themselves."

"Believe me, they will be ecstatic, and the silver hidden in their hands will be smashed out in a big way, and we don't need to spend our tongues to persuade them."

Many times, Li Tianyang's self-confidence is always confusing, but in fact, after the fact, you will find that his self-confidence is often very certain, but you can't understand him.

"I still don't understand what you mean."

Hong Chengchou does not hide his ignorance.

"Let's put it this way, for example, Fujian, because of its proximity to the coastal zone, their biggest and least valuable specialty, what do you think?"

Li Tianyang asked with a smile.

"Well, a Fujian specialty, Tieguanyin? No, isn't it cheap? Coastal? Yes, it's sea salt, that's it! ”

Hong Chengchou chattered, and his mind flew down, and finally got a positive answer.

"Am I right?"

"Yes!"

Li Tianyang nodded in the affirmative.

"You, are you going to open up the Sea Salt franchise to these merchants?"

In ancient times, salt and iron were all government-run, and of course, there would certainly be a dead banking industry in times of turmoil, but in general, salt and iron had an important share in the national finance.

"yes, why not?"

Li Tianyang didn't seem to feel that his idea was wrong.

"Of course, we can't give them the right to operate permanently, and there are strict restrictions on the scope of sales, according to how much debt can be paid in a year of operation, and how big the scope of sales is, there are clear regulations, we can lose at most a few years or more than ten years of Fujian Haiyan sales power, we can solve the urgent need of Hongmen now."
