Chapter 044: Wealthy businessmen

——

The internal discussion with the three important ministers has already established the general strategy for the future of the defense of the country, one is to form cavalry, and the other is to prepare for the two countries of Qi and Chu to destroy Wu and Yue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The destruction of the Yue Kingdom in history will be delayed until ten years later, when the Chu State took advantage of the civil strife in Qin to be destroyed, and now I am afraid that it will not be able to wait for ten years later, if the King of Qin chooses to continue to go east to plot against Sanchuan County in Korea and Jiuding in Erzhou, Yue Ke will still exist in the country; If you choose to take advantage of the civil strife in Bashu and make a move, Hanzhong Shu will be included in the territory of Qin.

The country will be destroyed——!

It's not just Wei Zheng's sake, but the geographical location of Yue itself is sandwiched between Qi and Chu, which has become a problem for the two great powers.

As the saying goes, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?

The Qin State took the land of Hanzhong and Shu, and was able to govern this territory, which was called the western remote land by the people of the world, into the later "country of abundance", and Wei Zheng was also able to govern the barbarian land in Jiangdong into the later "paradise on earth".

Suhu is ripe, and the world is full.

With the land of Suzhou and Hangzhou as the foundation, the comprehensive national strength will be qualitatively leaped, and it will not be visible in a short time, but it will be able to show its power after one or two decades.

The Yue country occupies such a land of fish and rice, and it does not know how to use the treasure in vain, and the death of the country is also an inevitable result.

The south is different from the north, the climate in the south is suitable, the crops in the Central Plains in the north are ripe once a year, and the south is twice a year, which can completely allow rice and wheat rotation.

Wei Zheng roughly estimated one or two, if Wu Yue was destroyed, Wei Guo got a county in Jiangdong, and he wanted to govern this piece of southern barbarian land into the granary of the world, ten years was enough to show initial results.

In five years' time, the defense of the country should also have an iron cavalry corps that will form combat strength, and the national strength will inevitably be further enhanced.

……

After a few days, Jingcang was ordered to gather all the merchants of the large trading companies in the territory of the country into the court, since the change of the law, the merchants of the country can be said to be the most nourishing among the countries, and the change of the law of the country has promoted the commercial and trade activities of the country to be more prosperous than that of the Central Plains.

Compared with other vassal states, large trading companies have sprung up to defend the country, and new policies and laws have also attracted merchants from the lower kingdoms to gather in the country. Jiang Mu, the county guard of Hedong County, was born as a businessman, and he did not live up to Wei Zheng's high hopes.

Hedong County Xitong Chaoge is the core area of the country, south of the Song Kingdom Taoyi, the most prosperous place of commerce and trade, east of the Qi country, a big and powerful country. With such a unique geographical location, coupled with Jiang Mu's county guarding and governing a county in Hedong, it is difficult for this region to prosper.

If there is no war spreading here in Hedong County, it is inevitable that in another ten or eight years, the degree of commercial prosperity will surpass that of Taoyi.

When Wei Zheng was initially in charge of Weiguo, the old capital of Puyang was the capital of Weiguo, with less than 7,000 households and 40,000 people.

Now the prosperity of Puyang City is second only to Chaoge, becoming the second most prosperous city in the country, the endless stream of merchants in the city to drive the prosperity of Puyang, from less than 7,000 households to nearly 20,000 households, the people break 100,000 in the big city, a city will occupy one-seventeenth of the population of the entire country, and the whole country is only more than 1.7 million people, which shows its prosperity.

Some discerning merchants have already migrated from Taoyi to Puyang next door, and it is the nature of merchants to pursue profits, and the policy of defending the country is more friendly to merchants than any other country.

On this day, the heads of more than 30 large trading companies in the territory of the Patriotic State were all summoned to the Imperial Court of the Patriotic State.

The head of more than 30 trading companies was set up in Asaka Castle, and they walked through the streets on the outskirts of the palace more than once, and looked at the palace more than once.

But it was the first time to really enter the palace of the Patriotic Monarch, and when I learned that the monarch had summoned so many people at one time, most of them were surprised when they met in the palace.

People who mingle in shopping malls know the importance of connections, and there are hardly any heads of these more than 30 large trading companies who do not know each other.

"Who knows why the king summoned us?"

"How do I know? But it must not be a trivial matter——! ”

At this moment, none of the more than 30 businessmen summoned by Jingcang were absent, all of them were waiting in the palace hall, and the palace attendants sent wine and food one by one.

"Meet Your ——!"

Wei Zheng, who usually walked slowly in obedience to the side hall, walked to the main seat with a smile, "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. Immediately turned around leisurely, sat on the ground with a basket of knee clothes, and smiled indifferently at the thirty or so cautious businessmen, this is the color of awe, Wei Zheng didn't care, and smiled indifferently: "You are all big businessmen who defend the country, and the widow has heard a little, and your business is to sit in the world and go to the country, and it is prosperous." ”

"Today, the widow will personally give you a great business opportunity. Hehe......" Wei Zheng said with a smile as he looked around at everyone.

In the front row of the right seat, the wealthy merchant was dressed in a luxurious silk costume, and he clenched his fists and said to the king: "If the king has any orders, just instruct, and we will do our best to honor the king's edict." ”

"Hey——!" Wei Zheng immediately stopped and said with a smile: "In business, how can a widow force people with power? ”

"Your Excellency." The merchant said hurriedly.

Wei Zheng looked at everyone with a smile and said: "The big business opportunities that Ben Hou said, one is not to pay customs duties, the second is not to pay income tax, and the third is to make a steady profit without losing money, this business is very profitable." ”

"Color——!

"Don't rush into cheering, everybody." Wei Zheng said calmly: "Although the deal that the widow made for you is very profitable, and it is not profitable, but the widow also has conditions. ”

A merchant stood up, hugged his fist at Wei Zheng and saluted, "Please show me for you——! ”

"Good ——!" Wei Zheng said directly to the point: "All trading companies that enter this transaction must accept the orders of the government from now on, and must accept the scout sent by Benhou to join the trading companies to act in the name of merchants, and the trading companies must not reveal their identities, otherwise no matter who is punished according to law, they will be severely punished, and all those sent by the government will not eat or drink your trading company, and they will not take a copper coin from your trading company." What do you think? ”

"This ......" "This ......"

Everyone discussed in private, hesitating one by one, and at this time, they saw a businessman salute Wei Zheng and said, "Dare to ask the king to make it clear, where is this big deal?" How to trade? How? Where's the benefit? ”

"I don't know anything about this, so how can we make this deal?"

"That's right."

Wei Zheng smiled and looked around at these rich people who defended the country, for a while, these thirty businessmen and rich people exchanged heads with each other, and many people complained in their hearts, what a big deal, if you don't do it, you have to kill your head, how to look at this deal, it is not easy to do, and look at this posture You have to do it, you have to do it if you don't do it, dare not give face? If Wei Zheng was the monarch of another country, he could directly refuse to enter, but he was the master of the mother country, and his roots were here.

"The ——! of the world" Wei Zheng said concisely.

"The world?"

"This ......"

More than 30 wealthy businessmen saluted Wei Zheng one after another: "I would like to hear your superiors——! ”
