Chapter 1734 With great power comes great responsibility
In fact, this time in the Northwest War, the main money was paid by the rich merchants, except for Shule, Gongyuecheng, Khotan, and Daduhu, the people in the Northwest did not suffer too many losses, on the contrary, there were many people who made a lot of money, because the merchants hired them to go to the front line to fight, which was to pay for it, but not compulsory labor.
But if you don't help these businessmen, the economy of the northwest is very likely to face collapse, because after this war, the businessmen have just established their position in the northwest, and the businessman's weapon is money, and they just don't have any money now, which will put the businessman in a very embarrassing situation, they can use this to integrate the resources of the northwest and complete the transition to capitalization.
And the northwest businessmen to capitalization, is a unique advantage, because the northwest trade is mainly for the Central Plains and the Arab region, but because the distance to both sides is relatively far, this small businessman can hardly afford it, must be a rich businessman to have the ability to carry out large-scale trade with the Central Plains, therefore, the capital of the northwest must be concentrated, in order to have the ability to foreign trade, which is different from the Central Plains and this is different from the Central Plains, the Central Plains has always had a strong government, can be led by the government, they can only rely on themselves, especially nowThe old Turkic aristocracy was already well understood, and the peculiarities of this foreign trade prompted them to complete capitalization.
Now the only problem is that they have no money in their hands, and many businessmen have no money to pay their salaries, which is very fatal, because if they don't stand up, there will be no one in the northwest to dominate, and the local government has no money, not the same as the Central Plains government, can not dominate economic development, many people will face unemployment, no money to trade with the Central Plains, there will be a bone nomie effect.
Therefore, the imperial court's investment and lending this time were mainly to support these merchants, and it was fast.
When they discussed, in fact, Han Yi had already instructed Liangzhou to gather the silk and buy it all in the name of the gold bank, and Wu Kelie and they also sent people to Liangzhou, either to borrow money, or directly on credit, to buy the materials they needed in Liangzhou, because many merchants in Liangzhou are from Chang'an, they can go directly back to the gold bank in Chang'an to receive money, which also saves transportation costs, of course they are quite happy.
It can be seen that Liangzhou played a great role in this war, because Liangzhou is the main transit point of the northwest trade, and many workshops are directly built in Liangzhou, with sufficient materials, not only to help Tuyuhun in the front, but now to support the rich merchants in the northwest.
For Han Yi, in fact, this is more like a vacation, it just happens to be the most pleasant time for the climate of Qinghai Lake, when he came, he was full of fatigue, after all, he ran around, he never stopped, when those businessmen came, they were very excited and energetic, but today, people are tired, but he is in good spirits.
Because all of this has been planned for a long time, it is only changed according to the specific situation, which is why many people think that Han Yi is a genius, and many complex and huge plans, he comes out of his mouth.
But that's not the case, in fact, what Han Yi is best at is improvisation, which is related to his upbringing, when he was a child, he went to the street to beg, stealthily abducted, or didn't understand improvisation, then he would have hung up a long time ago, and he didn't even have a chance to cross.
He is just thinking about how to go step by step, how to plan, and what difficulties he will face, which is the professionalism of Lao Qian, because the scam must be very carefully calculated, and the plan is also very rigorous, after all, they are cheating with their lives, and the objects are all extremely vicious people, and if they are not careful, they will die here.
Adaptability and professionalism enable him to deal with all kinds of difficulties calmly.
It's just that no one sees his efforts.
......
......
Sudden Sudden Rush!
I saw a few splashes on the calm surface of Qinghai Lake.
Han Yi straightened up, clapped his hands, stood by the lake, looked at the beautiful scenery of Qinghai Lake, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for this charming Qinghai Lake, I really don't know how I could live with you guys for so many days, and now I feel terrible when I think about it." β
"Haha!"
The merchant behind him was not annoyed at all, but smiled happily.
Because many of them have already received loans from the imperial court, they now have people, land, and power, so they are short of money, and once the money is in place, they can immediately expand the scale of operation, in fact, they are discussing here mainly how to complete capitalization, how to integrate scattered resources, and operate together.
Han Yi raised his hand in front of him, and then walked along the lake.
And the merchants are following.
"Haven't you always wanted to know what my secret to wealth is?" Han Yi said suddenly.
Wu Kelie, Yigu and others flashed to Han Yi's side in an instant, their eyes full of anticipation.
"Isn't Han Shangshumo willing to tell us?"
Han Yi smiled and nodded.
Wu Kelie hurriedly said: "I am willing to listen to you. β
Han Yidao: "I remember that when I first went to Chang'an, I only had a hundred or so on my body, I bought Fengfeilou, which was about to close the door, and the first thing I did was to burn the deeds of sale of those courtesans, many people couldn't understand it at that time, do you understand?" β
Nabayo stepped forward and said, "It's not difficult to understand, Han Shangshu is kind-hearted, it's normal to do this." β
"What a businessman does is buying and selling, not doing good deeds, and this kindness has a Mao relationship." Han Yi glared at this guy.
Baye said blankly: "Then why is this?" β
Han Yi glanced at the other businessmen again, and saw that they were all confused, so he said: "Think about it, at that time, I was just a native farmer from Yangzhou, and I had no relatives in Chang'an, I wanted money without money, I wanted fame without fame, I wanted talent without talent, only a little bit of money, and I had no advantage in the face of anyone, so why should people follow me?" Then I first have to establish my advantage, so I chose to burn their deed of sale, return them to freedom, and give them a very high remuneration, which is incomprehensible to others, let alone will not do it, then this has become my advantage, since then, many talents have broken their scalps, all want to come to my Fengfeilou to work, and even proud, my Fengfeilou with the help of these talents, is also soaring. But they didn't know that I couldn't pay them for a few months. β
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But this is not the secret of my success, because many people can follow suit. And the secret of my success is that I always keep in mind that this is the foundation of my foothold, I have always adhered to this belief, until now, I Fengfeilou does not have a deed of sale, all are paid on a monthly basis, which has become the characteristics of my Fengfeilou, it is precisely because of my persistence that I have won everyone's trust, otherwise, those businessmen in Liangzhou, how can it be only ' The word "gold line", I will hand over the goods to you, which has nothing to do with whether I am a household book, this is trust, this is the secret of my success. β
The Ukhori and the other merchants listened thoughtfully, it sounded very simple, but who would dare to do that?
Because to a certain extent, it can be said that it violates the principle of businessmen, if you have money to do this, that's fine, but if you don't have money, it's very dangerous.
Han Yi's eyes swept and said, "Do you know why I am telling you this?" β
The merchants shook their heads blankly.
Han Yi said: "Because I want you to remember the foundation of your footing." How did you get where you are today? It is through a just war, what is justice? It's not that the saints say that, but what everyone expects, and if it weren't for that, you wouldn't have been able to get the support of the people, and without the support of the people, even if you were willing to give out the money, you wouldn't have succeeded.
If one day, you forget this war, forget the foundation of your foothold, and indulge in the wealth you have, that is when you perish, I am by no means alarmist, the most important thing for businessmen is to keep their word, when you can even overthrow your own foothold, then who will believe you. The greater a person's ability, the greater the responsibility, now that you have shouldered this burden, then when you consider the problem, you should not only consider yourself, but also consider the overall environment of the whole country, only when the people are rich, you can be more rich, if the people have no money, then who will buy your goods. β
Wu Kelie clenched his fists and said: "Han Shangshu's words, we must take them to heart. β
"We must take it to heart."
The rest of the merchants immediately hugged their fists as well.
These words, from a certain aspect, are also affirming their current status, the greater a person's ability, the greater the responsibility, isn't it an affirmation of the other party.
In fact, this is not the first time that Han Yi has mentioned this concept, in the process of discussion, he will always infiltrate some content in this regard, because he does not have the concept of the supremacy of power, he pursues like-mindedness, as long as our ideas are the same, we will naturally come together. Because once capitalized, the status of businessmen will be unprecedentedly improved, then businessmen must be responsible for this society, they cannot blame the court for everything, they have to think about more things, and they can't just stare at their own one-third of an acre of land as before.
It's a lesson they have to learn, and if they still think the way they used to, they can go wrong.
Of course, this is not something that Han Yi can solve with his words, this is something that needs to be explored and learned from the lessons, but if they can always remember these words, they will benefit immensely.
At this moment, a person walked over and muttered a few words in Han Yi's ear.
Han Yi nodded, and said to Wu Kelie again: "You guys talk first, I have something to deal with." β
"Han Shangshu, please."
"Lost!"
Han Yi nodded slightly, and then walked forward.
But he didn't go far, but went to a meadow not far away, and saw a burly man standing on the grass, it was Dong Hao.
"Dongho has seen Eungong."
Dong Hao saw Han Yi coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Thank you!" Han Yi smiled slightly and said, "Everyone brought it?" β
Dong Hao nodded and said, "All of them have been brought, they were personally selected by Sang Mu from the Golden Bank, all of them are outstanding, and they are also willing to work here." β
"Excellent! I don't have to worry about you doing things. Han Yi nodded with a smile and suddenly asked, "What is the situation in Chang'an now?" β
Dong Hao said: "There is no major event, but since the news of Tubo's withdrawal of troops reached Chang'an, there was immediately public opinion inside and outside the government and the opposition, all saying that Engong had made great contributions, and when he triumphed, he was either promoted to Zhongshu Ling, or Shangshu Zuo servant shot, and even the people of Chang'an were very supportive of Engong." β
A glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes, and he said with a smile: "I know, you go and rest first, settle those people well, and strive to build the first gold bank in Tuyuhun as soon as possible." β
"Yes."
After Donghao left, Han Yi returned to the edge of Qinghai Lake, looked at the lake that was as calm as a mirror, squinted his eyes, and said to himself: "If God wants to make it perish, it must first make it crazy." Speaking of this, a smile suddenly rose at the corner of his mouth, "It's really a coincidence, I want to use this trick too, hehe, this is really a very fair duel!" β
