Chapter 30 The business world is hegemonic
Dong Cai didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Yang Xi told him that he was just a hawker before, doing a business to make a living, and no one was staring at normal. But now he is the external image representative of the Chenhe factory, and his identity and worth are worth some people to take risks. Not to mention that now is an era of war and chaos, thieves and thieves, even if it is a year of peace, it is inevitable that some people will make up their minds.
After this incident, Dong realized that he personally has no ability to protect himself, and if he wants to be strong, he has to take advantage of the situation. He couldn't figure it out, how could Yang Xi be so prescient, could it be that there was such a thing as a book from heaven?
Yang Xi didn't say much, asked some information, and then Cai Kao and others prepared to leave for the Chenhe factory.
Before leaving, I deliberately explained that I should not destroy the grass and trees and houses here.
This is already the boundary of Daye City in later generations, and Yang Xi knows that this place is a treasure land, with extremely rich copper and iron ore, and even the copper smelting base of Shang and Zhou is underground.
And further south, there is a huge lake with gold in it, which is a cornucopia. However, now that his own strength is not allowed to have any thoughts.
Back at the factory, Yang Xi ordered all the prisoners to be guarded by the guard battalion, and then conveyed the policy of his factory.
It turned out that Yang Xi had expected that there would be such a thing in the future.
All prisoners must participate in a month's intensive training and study, and after one month, they must serve for one year, during which they must be assigned according to the Chenhe factory, or join the guard battalion, or go to work, during which the salary is no different from that of others.
This is equivalent to the official staff, the only difference is that the other personnel, who are free in the Chenhe factory, can leave at any time, while the captives need a full year to choose to stay.
This is quite preferential, the Yellow Turban thieves at this time are basically from farmers, where can they have such good treatment. Joining the Yellow Turban Army, there is no military salary, just to make ends meet. When I arrived at the Chenhe factory, there seemed to be a possibility of settling down.
Moreover, the factory assessment can be promoted.
At present, there are 30 Chenhe magic cars in the Chenhe factory, and the papermaking and brewing workshops are non-stop every day, which can be described as thriving.
Due to the support of the Luo family and Sifu Fan Ling, Yang Xi is also a legitimate landlord in Mashan Township. Now, he has turned the entire open space of Jute Pavilion into a horse farm, and after a year of accumulation, there are hundreds of horses, large and small.
However, Yang Xi did not train cavalry, and cavalry was of little use for mountain warfare. Of course, in all guard battalions, it is also necessary to practice mounted archery.
He has no intention of participating in the struggle for hegemony at this time, this is a long-term process, and his own foundation is still related to the economy and the spread of his own ideas.
didn't think much about it, as soon as the matter was over here, Yang Xi rode a jujube red horse and went straight to the Luo family.
Luo Lan, the head of the Luo family, this year can be described as high-spirited, Chenhe wine through his hands, sent to Exian County, and then there are large and small merchants in Exian County, brought to other counties, and a lot of money is received every day. There is more Chenhe paper, now famous, although he Roland is not a real Chenhe factory person, but he is under the brand of general distribution, business, and who knows the origin of this thing.
However, Roland knew that Yang Xi would not always let him take advantage of such a big advantage.
Sure enough, Yang Xi came alone today.
Yang Xi rarely came to the door, and he went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Roland smiled and welcomed Yang Xi into the hall.
"Brother Chenhe! It's shining, haha! Roland smiled dryly, not knowing Yang Xi's intentions, and not asking.
Yang Xi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him: "Big dog! Pour the wine! I'm going to talk to Brother Luo today. ”
Roland knew that Yang Xi was resolute, so he hurriedly called the big dog to get the wine and stir-fry the vegetables by the way.
"Brother Luo, I have been brewing this matter for half a year, and I am here today to discuss with Brother Luo and create a great cause together!"
"Create a great cause together?" Roland was confused, this is not a great cause.
"It's a real cause!" Yang Xi drank a bottle of it to himself.
"I am going to buy a piece of land along the river in the east of Exian County, establish a port, use it as a place for the distribution of goods, and then build big ships and trade along the river!" Yang Xi said his plan.
In Roland's stunned expression, Yang Xi began to talk about his plan.
It turned out that Yang Xi was going to buy a piece of land along the river in the east of Exian County, twenty miles out of the city, to build a dock and build ships. Then the port was established, and the port was used as a base to send goods to various places, and also attracted merchants from all over the world to enter the port and trade goods.
But Yang Xi couldn't do this alone, first, Yang Xi didn't have enough money to buy land, and he needed to borrow money from Roland. Second, although the land there belongs to the Hu family, and it can be regarded as the sphere of influence of the county Cheng Hu Kan, without Luo Lan's participation, Hu Kan may not necessarily give Yang Xi face. Third, with Roland joining, the Hu family may also join, and with the local landlord Haoqiang as a pretense, Yang Xi is justified in doing things.
Roland heard it, Yang Xi is here to borrow money, it is not the money he has earned for more than a year, this guy wants me to spit it out to him once, don't even think about it.
Yang Xi continued to tempt.
"Brother Luo! I think that after the port is completed, your brother Luo can set up a Luo family fleet, and even the Hu family can also set up a Hu family fleet, and together with my Chenhe factory, they can do business all over the world. ”
At this time, it is still the Han world, with your knowledge of Roland, how would you know that more than ten years later, it will become an era of chaos in the world and the division of princes.
Yang Xi wants to accumulate assets at this time, expand the population, and establish a base, and when the time comes, whether it is Roland or the Hu family, he must be called a grasshopper on his rope, because only he is secretly developing force.
Roland was moved by the temptation, but Yang Xishi opened his mouth and asked to borrow a million dollars, that is, a thousand taels of silver.
What is the concept of a thousand taels, all the savings of his Luo family over the years are only one thousand taels.
If you buy land, for 1,000 taels of silver, you can buy hundreds of acres of fertile land. After a year of expansion, the Luo family has more than 1,000 acres.
"Brother Luo, don't be anxious with me first, this loan has a charter. Since it is a loan, there is an interest, according to my meaning, two years as a limit, within two years, my Chenhe factory, with interest, will give you three thousand taels of silver. ”
Roland gasped, three thousand taels, that is, three million dollars, can be directly bought by several county magistrates of Exian County.
"Brother Luo! What do you think of the development of my Chenhe factory? ”
"Excellent! Soon! ”
"I believe that Brother Luo has his own judgment and will give you three days to think about it. If Brother Luo is not optimistic about my Chenhe Factory, I Yang Xi will also have other ways, but at that time, Brother Luo may lose a great opportunity. ”
After Yang Xi left the Luo family, Roland fell into extreme depression for a while.
But in less than three days, Yang Xi received a message from the big dog, see you at the intersection of Mashan Road.
Yang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, this Roland is more courageous than he imagined. Of course, this is also a period of time, after contact with myself, there have been certain changes.
This time, Roland didn't have a carriage, only rode a black horse, and the two met Fan Ling. Fan Ling has long been impressed by Yang Xi now, and after listening to Yang Xi's plan, he got some benefits, and took the two of them to Exian County to see Cheng Hukan.
Hu Kan listened to Yang Xi's plan, and at the same time he was shocked in his heart, but he also had some expectations, this land sale was a big deal, although he agreed, but he couldn't be the master, and took Yang Xi and Luo Lan to meet the head of the family.
The Hu family is a big family in Exian County, and the head snake, Yang Xi and Roland naturally want to prepare. On the second day, the two followed Hu Kan and stepped into the Hu family's mansion, one of the mansions in Exian County.
Yang Xi had already learned that Hu Zhao, the head of the Hu family, was Hu Kan's own brother, who was cautious and about seven feet five inches tall, which was considered a tall man. When Yang Xi saw this person, this person was also looking at Yang Xi, presumably Hu Kan had already explained his intentions.
"Is this Yang Chenhe, who has recently been known as the Jade Face Killing God? Sure enough, he is a talent, young and promising. Hu Zhao joked, but Yang Xi clearly felt that there was a person behind Hu Zhao, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, with a heroic face, and when he heard the words of the jade-faced killing god, a touch of fine light pierced Yang Xi's eyes.
"It's down there!" Yang Xi clenched his fists.
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Yang Chenhe, the jade-faced killing god, is proficient in martial arts, has no teacher, has no six arts, but has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and my dog often chatters, the younger generation of Exian County, most want to fight with the jade-faced killing god, I don't know if today, Yang Gongzi is willing to appreciate face?"
Yang Xi had expected that there would be some tests, but he didn't want to be in terms of force, which was great. I saw the sword-eyed man behind Hu Zhao striding out, hugging his fist to Yang Xi and saying: "In Xia Hu Zhuo, I have learned the six arts since I was a child, and I heard that the son of Chenhe is proficient in martial arts, I hope you can teach me!" ”
Yang Xile is happy, this person is fourteen or fifteen years old, almost the same as himself, although his physical function is 3 points higher than himself, reaching the level of 73, but so what.
"In Xia Yang Xi, Brother Hu Zhuo can call me Chenhe!"
"Dare to ask Brother Chenhe what weapon he uses?"
"Wooden sword!"
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, this is contemptible.
Hu Zhuo said with more fighting spirit: "Presumably, Brother Chenhe must have a unique skill, so that Brother Chenhe knows that he will use the ring knife in close combat, and if Brother Chenhe chooses to fight on a horse, he will use a spear below." ”
"Forget about horse battles, I'm not just charging into battle and learning martial arts, Brother Hu Zhuo is invited!"
"Please!"
Yang Xi casually lifted a wooden sword on the weapon rack, followed Hu Zhuo to the martial arts field, and spread the distance, and dozens of people from the family had already gathered around to watch the excitement.
Yang Xi turned his left hand behind his back, held a sword flower in his right hand, and pointed the wooden sword diagonally at the ground, waiting for the opponent to attack.
Hu Zhuo was also not polite, seeing that the other party intended to let himself take the lead, and brushed the knife three times, Yang Xi could see that this person had some foundation.
When Hu Zhuo rushed forward, Yang Xi also moved, and the onlookers gasped, just such a wooden sword as him, he actually collided with the opposite side with a big knife of dozens of catties, what is the difference between it and looking for death?
