Chapter 194: A Little Abacus

Zhang Xiao followed Wei Jia behind him and slowly entered the side hall! When he stepped in and walked straight to the throne, Zhang Xiao looked at Tian Fuzhen next to Zhuo Qianya and glanced at him!

Nei Shi Shen got up from the main seat with interest and let the prince sit down! Zhang Xiao knelt down and sat down, waved his sleeves and said, "Get up!" ”

Zhuo Qianya, who was kneeling at the banquet, listened to the sound of the prince getting up, but she just felt a little familiar! And Wang Yu and Lu Buwei, who were sitting far away at the entrance of the side hall, were also aware of the prince's voice, as if they had heard it somewhere!

Until the prince got up and looked up, wasn't it Zhang Xiao who had not seen him for a few days sitting on the throne? Wang Yu looked at it with a shocked face, although Lu Buwei was a little surprised, he immediately came back to his senses, and he had already begun to think about his little Jiujiu in his heart!

Only Zhuo Qianya, who was sitting in front, first showed a little joy when she saw Zhang Xiao for the first time! But immediately I thought of the reason, and a voice that lingered in my head emerged: He'sβ€”the prince!

The six major trading houses are the most important in the history of the Inner History, so these six sit opposite each other at one time! Zhang Xiao sat in the banquet and said with a chuckle: "Everyone here is the best among the businessmen of Handan, so Dan specially summoned this to share it with everyone here!" ”

The prince's words fell, and everyone in the venue knelt down and bowed: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince! And Zhuo Qianya sat in the first seat in the south room, and she didn't hear what Zhang Xiao said at all! Just standing in the middle of the banquet, what came to her mind at the moment was: "This is a dream, all this is a lie......"

And Wei Jia, who didn't know when he had already driven away the flies, whispered next to Zhuo Qianya at this moment: "Miss Zhuo, Miss Zhuo ......" Zhuo Qianya was called by Wei Jia a few times, and then suddenly woke up This is in the prince's mansion, and what I did just now was a little rude!

Zhuo Qianya looked at Wei Jia with her eyes, as if she was: what kind of master has what kind of slave! Then he turned his head and listened quietly to this Zhang Xiao, no, what can the prince say? Only Wei Jia, he has received such cold eyes there, if it weren't for what the prince just said, he wouldn't have bothered to come!

Zhang Xiao smiled at everyone: "Today, even for the sake of talking to all the businessmen, you don't have to be restrained by false courtesy, so you don't have to!" ”

After hearing this, the businessmen present all laughed out loud! When the major merchants who were close to heard this, they had already begun to discuss with Prince Dan, but they disdained it in their hearts: they had never heard of the fact that the official family could benefit the businessmen!

Bai Yunfei of the Bai family originally wanted to step forward with Zhuo Qianya and discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince, but since the prince came in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhuo Qianya seemed to be in a daze, and there was no movement! Bai Yunfei smiled and left the table and asked, "What is the matter of mutual benefit that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said?" ”

Zhang Xiao smiled and let Bai Yunfei return to the seat and said: "I think all the businessmen know that my Zhao Kingdom was building the river from Yunzhong County to Dai County before, and this prince was entrusted by his father to be in charge of the river affairs!"

But building a river is not something that can be done overnight! My king even said: The merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future! Therefore, Dan is willing to share the benefits of the mountains of Yunzhong County and Dai County with all the merchants, and after the completion of the river, they can still enjoy the benefits of water transportation. I wonder what everyone in the audience thinks? ”

In the pre-Qin period, the mountains, forests, rivers and rivers that were once publicly owned also evolved into the private property of the monarch, and the wealth produced by the monarch became the wealth of the monarch. The monarch placed officials to manage the city and the mountains, forests, rivers and rivers and levy taxes in kind, that is, "to work for materials and tribute; Anyone who is a businessman in the market, pays tribute and bribes; …… Ren Heng takes mountain things and pays tribute; Let Yu do things and pay tribute".

Now, Zhang Xiao is relying on the benefits of mountains, forests, rivers and rivers in exchange for the support of businessmen, and the Tao is also a bit generous! Of course, after Zhang Xiao found the coal block in Daijun, he originally wanted to exchange coal for support, but after returning to Handan, Zhang Xiao gave up his naΓ―ve idea!

After listening to the prince's words, the merchants in the field were also a little shocked! Among the six major merchants, the Yidun family, who had helped the King of Wei, also came here today. It is said that in order to operate commerce more effectively and speed up trafficking, Yidun also tried to change the backward mode of transportation by donkey carts, and wanted to transport it by boat, and dug the first artificial canal of the Wei State.

Now, the prince wants to build a river from Yunzhong to Daijun, which is to sit back and enjoy the benefits! The Handan steward of the Yidun family was immediately eager to try it, and Bai Yunfei immediately asked with interest: "Then I don't know when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will start to build the river, and how much do you want us and other businessmen to contribute?" ”

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Just the day before yesterday, the doctor Li Bing sent a river map in a hurry, and when the river map is completed, he must have sent people to build it!" As for the other thing that the Bai family asked, this prince came up with a bidding method today! ”

The businessmen in the audience were all stunned and said, "Bidding? ”

Zhang Xiao nodded noncommittally and said, "Well, it's true!" Everyone knows that everything is good and harmful, and the result will be that the good one will get the high price, and the bad one will be given at a low price! And Dan has already brought the maps of Dai County and Yunzhong County, and at the same time, the merchants present in each mountain can bid for it! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiao asked the servant beside him to spread out the processed mountain drawings of Daijun and Yunzhong County! Daijun is located in the Taihang Mountains, and the clouds are located in the loess alpine plateau! There are mountains in both counties, and after the map is unfolded, the merchants are looking at each other, and they are ready to taste the fat at the corners of their mouths!

However, the Yidun clan of the Chu State is not concerned about this, but is very concerned about the affairs of the river! After Zhang Xiao paused, he asked: "I heard that the prince built the river of the two counties, which was cast on the original river, and I wonder if it could be transported to the goods?" How long can my merchant use the benefits of freight forwarding? ”

After Zhang Xiao heard this, he took a closer look at the middle-aged man in front of him! He had heard Wei Jia say that this person is the illegitimate son of the current head of the Yidun family - Yidun Shan Cheng! Zhang Xiao didn't expect that there were still people with such vision among the merchants, and the benefits of river transportation were an important source of a country's wealth in peacetime!

Zhang Xiao takes talent as profit, mainly because he wants businessmen to invest in this and quickly change Yunzhong County. But I didn't expect to make a trick for myself!

Zhang Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "As the Yidun family said, Dan can know everything, and the river built will be able to carry goods, as for the other question, it is necessary to wait for the future to ask Lord Neishi!" ”

At the same time, Zhang Xiao said to the others: "Today's invitation is just to talk about this matter, as for the bidding and other matters, I will go to the Inner History Mansion to make a decision in three days!" ”
