Chapter 392: Trade Compact
The heat in the teacup slowly rose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
King Wei's eyes kept rolling, obviously measuring the purpose of these requests.
After a long time, he hesitated and asked, "Only this condition?" ”
"Only this condition, of course, not only the Three Emperor Uncles can't hinder Qingzhou goods from entering Weidi, but anyone in Weidi can't stop it." Xiao Ming said indifferently that the only purpose of this condition is to allow Qingzhou goods to be unimpeded in Wei, and the King of Wei cannot collect taxes from the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce in any name.
King Wei nodded, in fact, when Qingzhou goods entered Wei, he set up cards to collect taxes, which led to the fact that the price of Qingzhou goods that were originally not high often increased several times after they arrived at their destinations.
However, he didn't specifically target Xiao Ming, in fact, Dayu extracted commercial taxes in this way, after all, businessmen's money was not in vain.
Now that Xiao Ming has put forward this condition, it means that he can no longer collect taxes on Qingzhou goods for any reason, and he will lose a lot of silver, and the more goods Xiao Ming imports, the greater his loss.
After a deep sigh, King Wei said: "Virtuous nephew, your trick is ruthless enough, doesn't it mean that Wei Di's money is all for you to earn in vain?" ”
"Since it's compensation, is it still that I think the imperial uncle can't pay the silver, the imperial uncle thinks about it himself, if he agrees to his nephew, he will draw up an agreement, if the third imperial uncle doesn't agree, let's see you in the court."
King Wei hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, can't this condition be changed?" How about I compensate my nephew three million taels of silver? ”
Xiao Ming shook his head.
"Five million taels!" King Wei raised five fingers.
Xiao Ming still shook his head.
Gritting his teeth, King Wei said ruthlessly: "Ten million taels of supplies!" ”
Hearing this number, Xiao Ming's eyelids raised, but he still shook his head, but he was surprised that King Wei actually understood the harm of this agreement to his fiefdom, and would rather give him 10 million taels worth of materials than sign this agreement.
"Uncle Sanhuang, nephew is on this one condition, it's up to you whether you agree or not." Xiao Ming set the tone.
King Wei was completely deflated at this time, his expression kept changing, and finally he said: "Nephew Xian, let me think about it for two days, okay?" ”
"Of course you can, Uncle Sanhuang invites it, and my nephew won't be far away." Xiao Ming's expression was cold.
King Wei stood up at this time, looked at Xiao Ming with a complicated gaze, and then walked out.
Seeing King Wei leave, a sneer rose at the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth.
He had already thought about this matter when he came to Chang'an, and this trade treaty was a strategic economic weapon he had prepared.
In the past two years, his goods have indeed been very popular in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, but one thing that makes him unhappy is that every time he passes through a fief, his goods will be heavily taxed.
And these heavy taxes have to make the chamber of commerce raise the price of goods, after all, not raising the price is equivalent to a loss.
As a result, under the deliberate targeting, Qingzhou's foreign trade income is surprisingly high in taxes alone, and the increase in commodity prices has also reduced consumer groups.
All in all, these vassal kings are equivalent to mosquitoes lying on him to suck blood, and the most important one is that this kind of behavior will seriously stifle the development of Qingzhou's local industry.
So after discovering the problem, he formulated this pact in order to promote it.
Let's not talk about the vassal king with a different surname, at least his close neighbors King Wei and King Yong must put on this agreement, and as for other vassal kings with different surnames, he will slowly toss.
He admitted that he was even a little overjoyed when he learned that King Wei had sent the Shanzi Battalion, because it was equivalent to King Wei sending it to the door himself, but the only thing he miscalculated was that the Shanzi Battalion was a real scumbag.
"It's time for King Yong to come next."
Xiao Ming took out a stack of papers from his arms, these are the trade agreements he drafted, on which dozens of agreements are listed, once the king of Wei signed, it means that the commodity market of Wei is completely defenseless against him, and the low quality and low price of Qingzhou commodities can soon completely destroy the low-level commercial and trade system of Wei.
In the end, Wei Di will become a raw material supply market for him, which is the famous unfair trade of rice for cannons.
Outside the palace, King Wei's carriage slowly left.
The face of King Wei in the carriage was black and terrifying, and he clenched his fists tightly like a beast that could eat people.
After the carriage ran out for a while, King Wei finally couldn't help but scream and scold: "Xiao Ming, you deceive people too much!" ”
Then he looked at a teenager in the car, this boy was Xiao Qi, he had been in the carriage and did not get down.
At first, seeing that King Wei's face was so bad, he didn't ask about it with interest, but now that King Wei finally broke out, he sighed, "Uncle Sanhuang, at that time, I advised you not to send the Shanzi Battalion, but to help Xiao Ming defeat the barbarians with all his might, but you didn't listen, and now that this handle is in Xiao Ming's hands, he will naturally take care of us." ”
King Wei also regretted not being at the beginning, he said: "I knew this was the case, why bother at the beginning, Xiao Ming's power is too big to do us all kinds of harm, I was just thinking about letting Xiao Ming and the barbarians fight to the death, and we will sit in the back to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”
Xiao Qi sighed, at that time, the King of Wei had already mobilized the 150,000 troops of the fiefdom, just waiting for the barbarians to enter Qingzhou and capture Xiao Ming, so that he could take the opportunity to wave his army in Qingzhou to defeat the tired army of the barbarians.
At that time, not only was the credit for defeating the barbarians his, but if Xiao Ming was killed by Bei Shan, this Qingzhou would also be his, and the Cangzhou City built by Xiao Ming like a steel fortress would also be his.
It's just a pity that all his plans fell through again.
"Then what conditions did Xiao Ming put forward this time." Xiao Qi asked.
At this time, King Wei told the matter of the agreement, and Xiao Qi also showed a surprised look when he heard this, "Uncle Sanhuang, this agreement is really vicious." ”
King Wei smiled bitterly and nodded, "This king doesn't know that the local goods in Wei are still taxed, according to Xiao Ming's meaning, he will make a profit and not lose money." ”
Xiao Qi sighed again, and he said, "Third Emperor Uncle, what if that's the case? ”
"I'm also bothered, although most of Weidi's taxes come from agricultural taxes, but this matter is too big a hidden danger after all, but if you don't agree, I'm afraid this time it will be a never-ending battle, and now that Qingzhou has no threat from the Youzhou barbarians, I'm afraid that Xiao Ming will free up his hands to clean up us."
Xiao Qi's eyes rolled and said: "Uncle Sanhuang is now stretching out his head with a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, I'm afraid we can't sign this agreement, but since it's a negotiation, even if you sign it, you can't lose it all, you can sign it, but this time Xiao Ming defeated the muskets and hot air balloons used by the barbarians?" ”
King Wei reacted immediately, he looked at Xiao Qi appreciatively and said, "Yes, it's still thoughtful." ”
