CHAPTER 40

Ran Fei felt the truth again at this moment: "Money is not everything, no money is everything!" ”

If Xun Zi is here at this moment, I don't know if he will come up with other ways No, Ran Fei said in his heart. Originally, Ran Fei invited Xunzi to dinner, the purpose was to let Xunzi come to Jiyang with him, Xunzi through a conversation over a meal, and a little heard of Ran Fei's deeds before, he felt that he was a very good person, and he also intended to go to Jiyang, but when he reported overnight that he wanted to resign and go to the north, King Qi Xiang did not approve it, and went to Xunzi's house in person, and asked him if he was a young man? I don't want to stay in Linzi anymore, I still feel that there is no place to take care of it, the conditions can be mentioned, but if you want to leave Linzi, it is two words anyway: not allowed.

Ran Fei was speechless, he originally wanted to dig the corner of King Qi, but he didn't expect that this corner was so difficult to dig, and before he could dig it, Xunzi felt a little sorry for Ran Fei, so he personally introduced a few talents to him: Tian Ba and Lu Zhonglian.

The problem at the moment is clear: "No money, no business!" ”

If you don't do it, it's okay to talk about other things, but it's very difficult to do money, the country is in ruins, and it's almost destitute, and now it's three years of tax cuts, and the country has no money, and it's impossible to ask for the palace's support.

Ran Fei is now so poor that he can't eat hard, and he donated Yulu, he didn't have much money, so he spent a lot of money in order to invite Xunzi, looking at the pickles in front of him, Ran Fei calmed down and ate slowly. In order to increase his appetite, Ran Fei forced himself to think of the delicious taste of the Drunken Immortal Mansion a few days ago, and ate faster.

It's just that soon, Ran Fei felt that although the meal cost a lot, he knew very well, because Tian Ba came to find Ran Fei, Tian Ba was straightforward and quick-witted, and when Ran Fei proposed the government to do business, he quickly thought of a way to find Ran Fei.

Tian Ba couldn't help but sigh when he saw Ran Fei eating, and hugged his fists and said: "Shangqing is so bitter for the people, I am ashamed!" ”

Ran Fei: "Where, where!" With the help of Mr. Arita in my northern part, I will definitely be able to recover soon! Although he is thrifty, he is completely ignorant of governance and production, and he relies on his guidance. ”

As soon as the wheat was harvested, Tianba taught people how to store it, and then taught the people how to manage the land, so as to ensure the fertilizer efficiency of the land.

Tian Ba said: "Eh! Needless to say, I went back and thought about it, your method is good, but we don't have the capital, but I have an idea, I don't need us to pay! ”

Ran Fei was puzzled: "No money?" ”

Timba: "Hmm! My solution is, we make a deal with those merchants, they pay us and help us manage the business, and we give them reputation, since ancient times, they have been farmers and merchants, and the status of merchants is not high, so many merchants start to want reputation after they have a lot of wealth, and we can take advantage of that. ”

Ran Fei thought for a while: "Hmm! Yes, that's right! Back then, Guan Xiangguo took advantage of the businessman's desire for fame and exchanged a turtle for the soldier's salary! ”

Timba: "Yes! ”

"Sex, that's it!"

After three days of deliberation, Ran Fei issued a notice: "Someone who is willing to donate money to the government to invest in business will become a reward from the government, and will be given a rank according to the amount of money, and if someone is willing to help the government manage its assets, they can have certain rights." ”

On the surface, although Ran Fei gave these donors official positions, he had no real power, and just got a name, so that they could be respected enough.

Soon, many businessmen came to Jiyang to donate money to Ran Fei, and Ran Fei also gave them official positions according to what was agreed in advance, and the businessmen also knew that they had no power at all, just a fictitious position, but no matter what, officials of the same level must also respect them, so that no official would dare to ask them for money at will.

Ran Fei also took this problem into account when discussing with his staff, the corruption of officials is inexhaustible, but if the businessmen have a certain official position, although they have no real power, but the officials of the same level no longer dare to treat the businessmen as fish and meat as before, because the same rank is not subject to its jurisdiction, in this way, not only can play a certain role in anti-corruption, but also can solve the current problem of lack of money.

Ran Fei didn't expect that in three days, just three days, the silver sent by the merchants had already made the huge Shangqing Mansion unable to fit, and in order to ensure safety, Ran Fei put the excess coins in the military camp outside the city.

Ran Fei has money, the first thing to do is the armory, Ran Fei took out the weapon that Bai Qi had lost, and looked at the sun, shining and shining. Immediately, it was announced to the whole world that the best blacksmiths in the world would be gathered to form an organization specializing in the development of weapons.

All of a sudden, all the blacksmiths in the world rolled up their covers and rushed to the north, for two purposes, one is that the country of Qi is strong and there is no war, and the other is that there is a lot of money, which is enough to live a rich life.

That's all the people wanted!

The world is peaceful and everything is peaceful, and the wife and children are hot on the kang!

Three months later, more than 100 blacksmiths from all over the world stood in front of Ran Fei, Ran Fei first asked people to check their posture one by one, because blacksmiths often strike iron, and their bodies are naturally different from ordinary people, Ran Fei arranged their residences, and ordered the blacksmiths to mobilize money, so that their left hand began to prepare everything needed to make weapons.

Ran Fei returned to the mansion with his staff, and when everyone left, leaving only Ran Fei, Military, Tian Ba, and Lu Zhonglian, Lu Zhonglian was about to say something, but Ran Fei stretched out his hand to stop and said: "I know what you want to say, of course I know that there are fine works among them." Lu Zhonglian was very puzzled and asked Ran Fei: "Shangqing, since you know that they have a fine work, why do you want them to stay, and I don't know why you want to recruit blacksmiths from the world, I think the blacksmiths of my Qi country should also be very powerful." ”

Ran Fei took out the white sword and handed it to Lu Zhonglian: "This is the sword left by the killer who assassinated me that day!" ”

Lu Zhonglian looked at it carefully for a while, and sighed: "Good sword!" Not only is it a good sword, but even the swordsmiths of my Qi country can't make it! ”

Ran Fei said: "This is the sword that the assassin was knocked out by me that day!" This is the sword made by the people of the Qin State! ”

Everyone gasped: "No wonder the people of the Qin State have been invincible and invincible all these years!" The people of Qin are already tall, plus they have been fighting with the Xiongnu all year round, and those who can survive are all sharp soldiers! Plus such a good weapon! ”

"Humph! Could it be that this sword was made by the Qin State? Ran Fei said, "I don't think so, the Qin State has used capable talents from all countries since the founding of the country, and when it comes to Qin Xiaogong, it is even more the law of Shang Ying, so that the country is rich and the people are rich!" To this day, there are countless other people in the Qin Kingdom, and perhaps, this sword was made for them by my Qi people! ”

"That makes sense!" Tianba replied: "Then what should we do!" It's impossible to leave it alone! ”

"I've got them together, and as long as I keep a close eye on them, I don't believe that the fine work won't show its feet!" Ran Fei said.

Strategist: "I'll arrange it!" ”
