Chapter 648 alarmed the king of the Song Kingdom
"Paikyu-senpai! Can I hurt? It's too late for me to beg him? But isn't? People don't cooperate with our Song Kingdom, isn't it? Alas! It's hard to put into words! ”
Speaking of Bai Gui, Song Quecheng Jun has a belly to say. It's true! But he didn't know that someone had done something to prevent Bai Gui's investment in the Song Kingdom, so that Bai Gui did not dare to invest openly in the Song Kingdom.
During his father's reign, he was busy with power struggles and did not have good contact and cooperation with Baekyu. may also be a reason why Bai Gyucai is reluctant to cooperate with Song Guo. And when he was in power, he was really looking forward to cooperating with Baekyu.
But he didn't know that his companion cousin was secretly making things bad, so that Bai Gui did not dare to cooperate with Song Guo.
At present, the Song Kingdom needs a large amount of capital injection and a large-scale development in order to develop truly and rapidly.
The Song State is currently developing its population, but the population that can be developed also requires a certain cost. Ordinary families who devote their energy and financial resources to population production not only fail to complete the taxes paid in previous years, but also need a certain amount of subsidies from the state.
It will take at least 10 years for the population to be produced, and during this 10 years, there will be no famine or natural or man-made disasters. If there is a flood or drought, food production cannot keep up, and population planning is hampered.
And also! If there is a war, the progress will be lost.
For you, you have to develop the population and improve the overall national strength. But for those princes and kings and their advisers, it is to take advantage of your development. People don't care what the consequences of the war will be, how many children will be left unsupported and unable to feed? What people want is that your country can't develop, and its comprehensive national strength can't surpass theirs.
People consider problems from a political point of view, from the standpoint of their own country and political standpoint, not from the perspective of human nature. Many politicians, for political purposes, are inhumane.
Song Kuocheng and his important advisers had already discussed, if they could get acquainted with Bai Gui and cooperate with Bai Gui, with Bai Gui's financial resources, they could completely help Song Guo quickly complete this change.
If Bai Gui had the financial support, when the surrounding princes wanted to wage war against the Song State, the Song State could lobby with financial gifts to resolve the crisis. If you don't have the money, how do you lobby people? Who wants to help you speak for others if they don't get benefits?
If there was Bai Gui's financial support to develop the minerals of the Song Kingdom, the Song Kingdom would not have to spend money to buy important strategic materials such as iron tools from other countries. The Song State could exchange minerals for corresponding materials.
With Bai Gui's financial support, the Song could develop commerce and sell Song's handicraft products to other vassal states.
If......
There are too many ifs!
But? The intimate ministers around Song Kecheng just had no way to contact Bai Gui. And the person who contacted him had a crooked mind about Bai Gyu.
"According to the clues provided by Bai Gui's people, Bai Gui's predecessors are still in the capital and have not left the Song Kingdom. Baekyu's men completely blocked the capital's road to the outside world, and they asked the king to come forward and find out the situation. They promise! As long as Bai Gui is safe and sound, he is willing to cooperate with our Song State to develop minerals and open commerce. ”
The personal guards repeated the message they had received.
Song Juecheng walked back and forth in the room anxiously, and finally ordered: "Do whatever it takes to find out the whereabouts of Bai Gui!" Save! Be sure to save it! Let the palace guards cooperate with the visit! Let ......"
Song Quecheng lowered his voice and said, "Send my people out secretly to visit and visit!" I think? The other party should be a master, and they can only deal with it when they go out. ”
"The King?" The personal guard said anxiously: "No! No one around the king is allowed to leave! King! The king's safety is more important than anything else! ”
"That's it! You go and arrange it! The safety of the widow is important, and it is even more important to find the white senior! You know? How to arrange it, you can see for yourself! ”
After sending away this personal guard, Song Quecheng called another guard and gave an explanation. The guard nodded again and again, and after making some arrangements, he left the palace and went to the Great Yin's house.
When Dayin arrived at the palace, Song Quecheng was waiting there, waiting for him to come over and have breakfast together.
"Aiqing! Come on, come on! Song Juecheng didn't look like a king at all, and beckoned Dayin to come over and have breakfast together.
Da Yin cowered and didn't dare to step forward, seeing that Song Juecheng was sincere, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the king to thank him.
"Get up! Aiqing? What do you mean by that? This is at home, and there are no outsiders, so why so much etiquette? Again? You Taoists shouldn't be like that, right? You? Sit! Aiqing! Isn't I looking for you in a hurry? Isn't it early in the morning? ”
Dayin hurriedly got up and thanked him, and sat down on the seat under Song Juecheng's greeting. But he didn't dare to use his chopsticks to eat breakfast, but just sat there and listened to the king tell him the purpose of calling him over.
Song Jue Chengjun didn't eat either, and anxiously told Bai Gui about his disappearance in the capital.
"The white rich man has come to the Song Kingdom? Coming to our capital? What the? The rich man may have been held hostage? What's what? When Da Yin heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
He knows it! This rich man Bai Gui, the richest man in the world, is different from ordinary businessmen. He was a businessman, but he was no ordinary businessman. His business went to the kings of all the nations, and he did business with the kings of all the earth.
It is conceivable that a businessman who dares to earn even the money of the princes of the world is a person?
If he didn't have two brushes, would he be able to earn the king's money? He can earn the money of the king of Wei, and he can earn the money of the king of Qi? Can he earn the money of generations of kings of Zhao State? Can he earn the money of the king of Qin? He can earn the money of the Hu people in the north......
Baekyu can be said to be a businessman who made his fortune by war, and his fortune history was by preparing grain, grass, horses, chariots, weapons, etc. for the warring countries. For warring countries, grain, grass and weapons are all materials that must be won in war. Without food, grass and weapons, there can be no war.
How could such a bullish figure be planted in the Song Kingdom and kidnapped and held hostage by the Song people?
How is that possible?
Da Yin was a little skeptical on the spot, is this source real?
The person in the world who wanted to catch Bai Gui the most was the king of Wei, who later became King Wei Hui. Because! Bai Gui once served as an official in the Wei State. King Wei used to be kind to Bai Gui, but later resigned from his official position to start business because Bai Gui opposed the war, and he made his fortune.
King Hui of Wei used both soft and hard methods, just to control Bai Gui, let Bai Gui do business in his private name, earn money for Wei, earn money for Wei to wage wars, and use economic means to control other vassal states.
But? Rejected by Baekyu.
Therefore! King Wei Hui held a grudge and was bent on arresting Bai Gui.
