Chapter Seventy-Eight: Obsession
The breakfast lasted only two quarters of an hour, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the listeners were thrilled. Like later generations, capital is extremely sensitive to risks, and businessmen have long known how the Qin State, the Three Jin Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty, and Chu are:
The Qin State can never be counted on, even important ministers like Zhang Yi, Fan Sui, and Wen Xinhou have abandoned them like clogs, what hope can they have? And the three Jin Dynasty have been like a candle in the wind. Han Wei no longer has the power to reject Qin, Zhao Guo is still there, but there is no longer Zhao Xiaocheng as a king, he is submissive to the Qin people, and he just wants to be safe;
Qi country, although Qi country is not like the three Jin Dynasty, but Qi country has long been a big business country, Qi country's salt, lacquerware, ironware, silk, cloth, fish, mirage, and even the foot and shoes are sold all over the world, and it is difficult for foreign capital to gain a foothold in Qi country. In other words, if Qi is not short of money and goods, there is no shortage of markets;
The state of Chu was already weakened when it moved eastward, and it regained strength after the destruction of Lu, but the strong ones were also limited. It's just that these things that happened from last year to this year have to make everyone optimistic about the Chu State. There is a heroic and intelligent king in the state of Chu, although he is not alive, but although the Chu royal family has heart disease, he rarely has a short life, and another meaning of the kingdom is that he will reign for a long time, and may even exceed the reign of King Qin Zhaoxiang who reigned for 56 years. The longevity of the king means that the political situation is stable, and the political situation is stable and the country is strong and the people are rich.
What investment looks at, isn't it just looking at people? Among these kings of the nations, the king of Chu is the most worthy of investment, and the state of Chu will be a foreign dynasty system in the future. The most important thing is that this government does not exclude businessmen, the selection of the people, the county is '500 to 1,000 people choose one person', and Yingdu is 'one person selected by 10,000 people'.
'The law of the state of Chu, if a merchant wants to see the monarch, he must have a great offer, and then he can see it. The state of Chu is like this, and other countries are actually similar, but the implementation of the foreign dynasty system can make the merchants see the king, which is something that the merchants dare not dream of, but have longed for for a long time.
Is it hard to become a Chinese? It's not hard at all. As long as you become a Chu person, and then do some good deeds in the local area to win the popularity of the people, and then Yingdu County and Yi are all good, the businessmen can immediately transform themselves and become the countrymen of the Yingdu Foreign Dynasty. Doctors generally do not dare to speak out if they are not too old, but the people of the country can 'appoint and dismiss officials, consult on political affairs, approve taxes, and repeal laws.'
Good investment objects, reliable guarantee mechanisms, and then the barrier of the Three Jins, as well as the 'depth' and sea boat in Xiong Jing's mouth, as soon as they left the palace, a few people did not speak, and they already knew what they thought about each other. It's just that Bai Yi, Yizan and others couldn't suppress their excitement, but Wei Yi had a deep disappointment, and when he returned to the post house, he reminded Bai Yidao: "Ziyi really wants to buy the treasury bonds of the King of Chu?" ”
"When the world changes greatly, if we don't devote ourselves to the Chu State, where can we go?" Bai Yi was also surprised by his compromise, especially being persuaded by an unscrupulous person to look very spineless, but how much is a backbone worth? What he wants is to make a profit, even if he can't make a profit, he must keep his capital in the great changes in the world.
"The Qin State is not uninhabitable, and the Qin State also has many big merchants. There are widows in Bashu and Wuzhibao in the northwest. Wei Yu persuaded. Although the state of Chu is protected by the three Jin Dynasty on the outside and thousands of miles deep inside, there are very few Ding mouths in the Chu State, and Qin swallows the Three Jin Dynasty and will destroy the Chu State. How will Brother Ziyi live at that time? Avoid the Tianzhu and Mediterranean countries that the king of Chu said?
More than ten years ago, when I was still in Guigu, Mr. Zizhong said: "Before Changping, the world was either Qin or Zhao. However, the Zhao State did not get the former land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and it should not be able to compete with the Qin people. After Changping, the general trend of the world has been decided, and it has not been able to go down for 20 years, inside but not outside. Now the king of Qin is crowned and pro-government, and he will die in all countries and in one day, and he should be in this twenty years. ’”
"Why didn't you go to Qin State after you got out of the valley?" Wei Yi rarely mentioned the matter of the Ghost Valley, so Bai Yi asked.
"The king of Wei swallowed the country, but he saved my society, although the Qin country was the mandate of heaven in one day, he killed my people and destroyed my temple." Wei Yi sighed.
The name of Guiguzi is known all over the world, but Guiguzi is not a person, but a heritage. The Zhou people acted as merchants, and the Yin people regarded them as siblings, such as Song Guowei Ziqi, and some regarded them as enemies, such as the old ministers of the country. After the rebellion of the three eunuchs, Fei Lian died on the edge of the Yinghai Sea, and seeing that there was no hope of resuming business, the old ministers of the king had to hide in the deep mountains of Yunmeng on the outskirts of Chaoge. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, because the Zhou people did not accept disciples, who wanted to kill their fathers, and also made up the lie of the 'Beacon Opera Princes', the system of etiquette and music collapsed from then on, and so far the Guigu began to accept disciples.
'Go to the different politics of etiquette and music, and restore the positive traces of the people'. This is the ideal that Mr. Guigu has been talking about for generations, and the Qin State is the son of Fei Lian after the evil came, so most of the disciples of Guigu entered Qin.
"Ziyi." Bai Yi shook his head, "What if you enter Qin Ruwen and believe that Hou Gui is the prime minister?" King Yingwu of Chu, if you stay in ......"
"The king of Chu is pedantic, and he can't do anything." It was just a two-quarter hour discussion, and Wei Yu knew the king of Chu and his person.
"The king of Chu is brave and wise, and now he can be pro-government, why can't he do it?" Bai Yi said strangely, he knew Wei Yi's talent, if he could serve the King of Chu, he should be a helper.
"The system of the people of the foreign dynasties is not conducive to the royal power, only for the sake of the merchants, the common people, but with the momentum of the world, the state of Chu should follow the Qin law, and if the Qin law is not implemented, the country will perish." Wei Yu had been depressed since he learned that Chu had been in the foreign court, and at that time he felt that he should leave Yingxing and enter Qin.
"The people of the merchant Jia will die in the country?" Bai Yishu looked at him. "Don't forget, Ziyi, the three promotions of the law change are the first. In addition to the three Jin Dynasty, Zhao Guo can still fight, can Han Wei's soldiers fight today? The change was only strong for a few lifetimes, and after a few lifetimes, the people were tired of war and hated officials. How much will the Qin people be able to fight? Bai Yi said, and then chanted a Qin folk ballad: "'Be careful not to give birth to a man, give birth to a girl as a breastfeeder, and don't see the Sanjin land, and the corpses are pillars.'" This is the rumor of the Qin people, which can be seen in the hearts of the people. ”
"I've never heard of this ballad." Wei Yi disagreed, "'I don't see the land of the Three Jins', since I say the Three Jins, why do you say that it is a Qin ballad?" ”
"Ugh." Bai Yi didn't make an excuse, and then chanted: "'Weishui can't afford to speak. 'Where is Weishui?' Could it be that it is also in Sanjin. ”
"The world has been fighting for hundreds of years, and there are no more people who are happy to die well, but the Qin State has become a trend in the world. If the state of Chu implements the Qin law, it may be able to survive the country, but if it does not practice the Qin law, it will destroy the country. "Wei Yu skipped this section." The benefits of iron are not as good as the army of millions. He had millions of Qin soldiers in Shouying, and how could the Chu State, which was less than 400,000 armor soldiers, reject the Qin Cunguo? The king's huge gold should be captured by the Qin people. ”
"Why is Ziyu obsessed with Qin?" Bai Yi didn't care about what Wei Yi said, but asked too much.
"When the world is competitive, the Qin country is strong, and it should be Qin." Wei Yu's ambition to enter Qin is stronger. "Why is Ziyi obsessed with Chu?"
"Shang also has a way, and the king of Chu has a rule, and he should stay in Chu." Bai Yi also understands his choice.
"However, the Qin state has a law, and the Qin law is strict, and the other countries do not have it," Wei Yu argued, "You will be a prisoner of the Qin army if you stay in Chu and he will be a prisoner of the Qin army." ”
"The king said that a few is a few. What is the use of the Qin law, where is my gold? Bai Yi finally stopped kneeling, but sat down.
Wei Yu was speechless, and he no longer knelt down, sitting dangerously at the table. After the argument, the room was even quieter, and this silence made both of them feel uncomfortable. Bai Yi is a big businessman after all, and he smiled: "I can't imagine that after a few years of getting along with Ziyi, there will be a difference." I also knew some of the disciples of Wenxin Hou in the Qin State, and the son entered Qin as soon as possible, and the late ones changed. ”
Bai Yi's words made Wei Yi rest arguing, and he felt a lot of emotion: "If he worships the prime minister every day, he will repay him." I'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Great goodness!" Bai Yi smiled: "Just rely on the ambition of the son, you and I should drink three threads." Come, drink, music! ”

"Meet the King!" In the northeasternmost corner of the mansion, a cadre of officials and engineers bowed to Xiongjing. These craftsmen are ashamed in their hearts - the Paper Mansion has made a lot of money, the Jutie Mansion is powerful in the world, and the Lu Li Mansion is full of ...... of the three armies, and their own Concrete Mansion has fiddled with those bricks and tiles, and nothing has come out.
"No courtesy. Thank you for your hard work. Xiong Jing was a little proud when he saw the signboard of the Concrete Mansion: the Mansion and the Jade Mansion had been restructured, from which there were eight mansions: papermaking, minerals (coal), iron, land, salt, ceramics, ships, and concrete, and the industrialization of the Chu State had taken a solid step, and next, he would set up the Navigation Mansion and the Machinery Mansion.
"I don't dare." Yin Taoshu, who wore many hats, still didn't dare to move on his stomach, and followed him, and the others didn't move. "The minister is ashamed of the king, and the minister is guilty of making the cement that the king said today."
"What is your sin? Do you think cement is that easy to make? Xiong Jing personally stepped forward and caressed Tao Shu. In addition to being the Yin of the Concrete Mansion and the Yin of the Ceramic Mansion. There was porcelain in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but unfortunately the temperature of the dragon kiln could not pass 1200 degrees, and it was difficult to burn through. The coke is 1600 degrees, and even the kiln is burned through, how can the porcelain not be successful? Cement is completely different, cement is not easy to match, and it is even more difficult to grind.
"The king has taught a lot, but his ministers are stupid, and he has obtained the law today." Tao Shu bowed in front of him and led the way for the king.
"I just know the reason, I don't know the skills, I can only let you try a little bit." Xiong Jing said as he walked that most of the time he came to build the house today to see the cement. "I thought it would take some time to burn, but I didn't expect it to be burned now."
"The minister is dull, the minister is dull." Tao Shu still looks guilty. The raw materials of cement are mainly limestone and clay, and then some gypsum, some iron slag and the like. It's just that how much limestone and clay are with it, Xiong Jing doesn't know at all. I don't know that I can only experiment, and under the exhaustive method, the coagulation mansion quickly mastered the correct ratio.
But it is not enough to have the correct ratio, the cement raw meal should be grinded, the clinker should be grinded, and three to four tons of raw clinker should be ground to produce one ton of cement. The primitive stone mill was available in the Neolithic period, but after the invention of the ko, the primitive stone mill was eliminated. Nowadays, all countries eat grains, and there are slightly more advanced stone mills, but there are no stone mills that are used to grind tofu like the later generations, with two upper and lower fans and teeth grinding in the fans.
But it's just that other countries don't have it, but Chu country has it - in order to let his father drink soy milk, Xiong Jing asked Zaofu to make the kind of stone mill for grinding tofu that came after last year. Tao Shu, who didn't know how to make cement, thought hard for more than a month, and finally remembered the stone mill, and finally grinded the cement out.
