Lu Chang actually agreed to Baekje's request and sent troops to help Baekje defend against Silla and other foreign enemies, but he was really anxious about the two subordinates Pei Shiju and Chen Ling around him.

As soon as the Baekje envoy Park Jar left, Bae Shiju said anxiously: "General, you can't!" We can't send troops to Baekje. At the moment when the country is in turmoil and too busy to take care of itself, where is the ability to help this small country of Baekje? ”

Lu Chang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Pei, don't be impatient, listen to me explain slowly."

Those who are not of our race will have different hearts, and sooner or later the peninsula will be a scourge to our country.

You didn't understand the conditions I just proposed, but the prerequisite for my troops was that the Baekje army must obey my orders.

If they agree to this condition, I will not hesitate to send troops.

I controlled the army of Baekje, and I controlled the fate of Baekje.

I will definitely not be stupid enough to use our army to help them expand their territory, but to use the army of the Baekje people to attack Silla and other ** teams, so that their army will continue to wear down.

My strategy is to have countries such as Baekje and Silla fight each other and constantly consume their national strength.

Even, if conditions permit, or if our armies are in complete control of the situation, use their armies to level the peninsula. Guys, do you understand what I mean now? ”

I see, Pei Shiju and Chen Ling understood what Lu Chang meant.

However, the current shape shì does not allow Jiangnan to send troops?

"General, even so, for now, we still have to focus on the country."

"Yes, General Chen's words are quite correct.

It's really not possible now, but I'm afraid that this envoy will come and go for at least half a year, and it will be about the same by then, hehe. ”

Isn't it, this Baekje envoy will go back this time, and it will probably be next year when he comes back. It seems that the general has already made up his mind.

Pei Shiju and Chen Ling put their minds at ease, and their admiration for Lu Chang in their hearts went to a new level. Moreover, the way Lu Chang took it, they really didn't dare to think about it before.

Brilliant idea.

The new way of drinking tea in the south of the Yangtze River has become popular, and everyone from officials to the families of the rich people is flocking to it.

Now a large number of tea houses have emerged in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are young girls performing tea art in the tea houses, which is really a kind of gray and elegant enjoyment.

At first, Lu Chang took some officials to the tea house to participate in the opening, and by the way, he came to cheer for the opening of the flower core pie.

When these officials appreciated this method of drinking tea, they all appreciated it.

As for the previous way of boiling tea, there is no market in Jiangnan, who still drinks that unpalatable tea?

Now this way of tasting tea is not only ornamental, but also delicious.

As a result, the new way of drinking tea is difficult.

With the continuous increase of new varieties, there are more and more Longjing tea titles of oolong tea, black tea and green tea series.

Soon, this method of drinking tea was popularized, and tea sales were extremely hot.

This is a new thing, in order to protect the growth of new things, and to encourage people to innovate, Lu Chang issued the first order in Jiangnan: the Monopoly Protection Law.

For example, the tea made by the flower core pie will be protected exclusively for a period of ten years, during which it shall not be imitated and produced, and anyone who infringes will be punished.

Paralyzing cheating!

This guy is suspected of monopolizing under the banner of protecting new things. There are several varieties of tea alone, and this guy is almost ready to specialize in a step-by-step manner.

Obviously, this is the largest and most shameless collusion between officials and businessmen in history, no, in fact, it is the integration of government and business.

The formulation of the monopoly law is entirely to protect Lu Chang's own interests to the maximum, and Lu Chang uses the power in his hands to escort himself to make a fortune.

As soon as the monopoly law appeared, even the brewing industry with him was also monopolized, which means that for a long time to come, no one else would want to participate in the production of these two goods.

Originally, many families and merchants began to plan to steal or research these products, but this path to wealth was suddenly blocked. The merchants are entangled and miserable, what a good way to make a fortune!

Although there is a monopoly law to protect it, is there no one who takes the risk?

This is an inevitable phenomenon, and there are certainly people who will take risks.

However, once it is found out by the government, it will definitely go bankrupt, which is certain, and maybe you will be imprisoned.

Taking risks to do this kind of business is a small family, and big families or businessmen generally do not blatantly break the law.

At least in the land south of the Yangtze River, almost no one blatantly knows the law and breaks the law.

Of course, there is also a mandate in the franchise law.

Even if you have to pay some profits, it is better than watching others get rich and worrying about yourself. Some businessmen began to approach the people of the Flower Core Sect in the hope of discussing specific matters.

The trademark of the tea is named "Qionghua", whether it is the name of the tea house that sells tea, or the packaging box containing tea, whether it is a bamboo tube or a clay pot, the word Qionghua is indicated.

This is to tell the world, tea is the only one and there is no other branch.

Lu Chang began to consciously let people accept the new thing of trademarks, which was not achieved overnight, and people's habits and business rules should be cultivated slowly.

The family and some wealthy people are very fond of this new thing, especially the kind of tea ceremony that is performed, and they want to enjoy it in their own homes.

Yes, the rich drinking tea is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of cultural edification, coupled with the elegant and skillful skills of a beautiful girl, which adds to the interest.

Unless you don't have money in your hands, there is no rich person who does not desire this kind of life.

This wish is very satisfying, because the tea house has a special training institution. As long as you have a need, I can meet you.

If you are willing to spend a lot of money, the tea house will provide you with supporting services directly.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you can have important guests at home to visit, you can temporarily let the tea house send someone to provide door-to-door service, anyway, there are many tricks, enough to meet the needs of customers.

The wind of rich and noble people is very good, who has no tea art performance for hospitality, that is a very faceless thing, so this wind is becoming more and more intense in the land south of the Yangtze River.

In this way, will Lu Chang be short of money?

Obviously, this is not possible.

In this era, every idea is a new way to make a fortune, and Lu Chang from later generations has no shortage of ideas.

It can be said that during this time, Lu Chang counted the money until his hands cramped, and he could wake up with a smile when he slept.

This is just the beginning, there are many ways to get rich in the future, Lu Chang is really a special thief, shameless enough.

During this time, Solvay had already established the Yangtze River checkpoint, whether it was liquor, tea, or other products, as long as they were shipped to the north of the Yangtze River, they had to charge different tariffs. Tariffs are set according to the type of product.

For example, liquor, which is urgently needed in the north, especially in the grassland area or near the grassland, the weather is cold, and people have a soft spot for liquor, can you not drink it?

Since you are in urgent need, sorry, the tariffs are often high, and even quickly catch up with the price of the product itself.

Therefore, a product is one price in the Jiangnan area, and it is another price after crossing the Yangtze River, which costs a lot of money!

The direct consequence of this phenomenon is that the Jiangnan government is very rich, and it can be said that it is very rich.

Of course, there are many more gatekeepers in the north than in the south, and there are relatively more wealthy people.

Since the wealthy in the South can enjoy this comfortable way of life, the North will not lag behind the South.

There was no shortage of avenues for this way of life to spread, and savvy merchants would soon spread the popular way of life from the South to the North.

Seeing the money flowing into the treasury of the government, could Su Wei not be happy? The general's means are high, it's really high!

The so-called monopoly protection law is actually only implemented in the Jiangnan area, and even then it is impossible to guarantee that no one will sneak around and fish in troubled waters. We can only adopt double insurance, strengthen confidentiality measures, and try to prevent technology from leaking out.

Fortunately, most of the tea is grown in the south, and there are very few places in the north where tea is grown.

The so-called technology is just a piece of paper, and there is no secret at all.

Lu Chang had already thought of these things, which is why when Shi Qingxuan accepted his apprentices, let her teach them separately, and only let everyone learn one craft.

In fact, this is just a precaution, as for whether or not you can keep the secret, God knows, you can only leave it to fate.

Of course, a technology monopoly can make a lot more money with more time. Leaking secrets is a matter of time or time, and Lu Chang is mentally prepared for this.

Fortunately, this era does not want to be as unscrupulous as later generations, and for the sake of money, so that morality is degraded. Most people are very moral, and rarely break the rules and do shameful things.

During this time, in addition to these things of doing business and making a fortune, Lu Chang was also busy with some other important things.

He found Su Kui, the master craftsman, that is, Su Wei's son, and gave him some of the drawings he had drawn, and asked him to form a department to study secretly.

Actually, these things are not great things at all in the later generations, but they are not at all in this era.

What is it?

It's nothing more than some gears, some screws and stuff like that, plus some little hardware.

However, these things will never apply for the Shenma franchise, and the hostile forces will still take them regardless of your franchise.

Therefore, these things are currently only serving the military, and they will never be taken out to make money.

Oh, a bit like the military industry of later generations.

Although I can't use it for the time being, I will definitely be able to use it in the future.

In this era of cold weapons, as long as one's own army is a little bit more advanced than the other side, it may be able to determine the outcome of the war.

Therefore, Lu Chang began to take precautions and prepare in advance for the next war.

However, in view of the conditions of this era, Lu Chang could not have much action, and was limited to some simple things that were small fights. (To be continued.) )
