Chapter 232: Shinong Industry and Commerce
When Yanglin celebrates the festival in the palace, the Horse Mansion is also extremely lively, Lu Bingchang's ability to organize business activities is very strong, today is a festival, the Horse Mansion arranges banquet activities, and the people who come to talk about business are naturally with heavy gifts, and the Heavenly Horse said that he will come to meet with these businessmen tonight, and he will naturally be there, and there is no reason for men to stay overnight in the palace, so when Yang Lin returned to the Horse Mansion, the banquet has been going on for more than two hours and is still lively.
The arrival of Yanglin naturally became the focus of everyone in an instant, and Yanglin, who didn't realize how valuable his identity was, was actually kneeling down by the businessmen, and the businessmen still regarded themselves as very humble in their bones, especially now when the top ten factories in the east and west were the background of the imperial court, but this is a good thing, and the businessmen will not dare to be so black-bellied if they are a little more awe-inspiring.
Sitting in the middle of the hall, Yang Lin glanced at the businessmen who were sitting in two columns and dozens of seats, as if there was a feeling that the emperor was going to the court, under the guidance of Lu Bingchang's whisper, Yang Lin knew that most of the merchants sitting on the left hand side were raw material suppliers of the top ten factories in the east and west, which needed to be taken seriously, and the right hand side was responsible for the sales of goods from all over the country. Or the big traders who represent the country's envoys need to meet and negotiate one by one, Yanglin does not need to speak in detail in public, the central idea is expressed, and then negotiate with those big business groups and state envoys.
"I invite you to come today, in addition to telling you that the supply and marketing share of the top ten factories in the east and west remains unchanged, so that you can rest assured, there are also several new financial roads to point out to you, everyone knows that the imperial court has taken the land of Wumiao, Jiaozhi and Nanzhao, this place adds up to the new territory of dozens of states. It is larger than the sum of Lingnan Road in Gangnam Province, and these barren places are still in a state of market blankness, and you know what it means that the market is blank! It's just that there are no businessmen doing business, as long as the goods of the top ten factories of the East and West arrive there, they will instantly become very popular novelties, and the people there have just been kingized, and they don't know how much the things they have in their hands are worth in my Datang. How much money did General Manager Lu earn in Lanmiao in just one or two years, I'm afraid it will scare you when I say it, but the words are very clear, and I don't need to say more about this later!
Of course, this horse is a person from the imperial court, and the purpose of pointing out a financial road to everyone must be for the sake of the country's stability and prosperity.
Article 1. All buying and selling are carried out on the basis of mutual consent, and it is not allowed to defraud the locals, clash with the locals, provoke bloodshed. When the time comes, don't blame the court's punishment in favor of the locals.
Second, in fact, as in all places in Datang, it is not allowed to privately exploit all minerals such as gold, silver, and copper, if found. The crime will be added to the first degree, and those who are strict zhòng will be the nine tribes.
Article 3. All the trade groups or caravans are free to play, limited to one year, each to seize the market, and the final size of the territory determines the supply and marketing share of you and the top ten factories next year. If there is less business territory, there will naturally be less.
Again, based on the condition of mutual willingness, the local people are willing to buy and sell with you, and the opening of a designated trading shop in the local area is considered to occupy the local market, allowing two or more to compete with each other in the same resource-rich area, and determine your local market share according to the transaction flow and the share of taxes paid to the imperial court. ”
After Yanglin announced the business planning regulations of the new frontier, the hall was suddenly quiet, Lu Bingchang smiled and gave Yanglin a thumbs up, according to Yanglin's description, this huge new frontier is a good place where people are stupid and have a lot of money, and it is indeed a lot of people who are stupid and have a lot of money, not to mention all kinds of medicinal materials and precious mahogany silver shirt trees, just raw materials like tea trees and rubber trees that are in large demand in Chang'an, there are patches of forests, and people who are a little more shrewd will find that the land that has not been cultivated there is more suitable for development and planting cropsNow Datang has a lot of crops and strong transportation capacity, even in the winter to pull some fresh vegetables and fruits from the south to Chang'an such a large northern city to sell, it is also a profitable business, after all, the greenhouse is now impossible to grow vegetables for millions of people to eat in a winter.
The more the businessman thinks about it, the more he feels that there are unlimited business opportunities here, there are a lot of ways to make money, and if he goes late, he will lose a huge loss, and he hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and announced his farewell, Yanglin is smiling Mimi's hand-off, guiding the businessmen to the new territory, which will instantly revitalize those places, the businessman will not go empty-handed, he will bring a large number of Han guys and principal to go, they will develop their own industries there, there will be a large demand for manpower and material resources, The first benefit will be brought to the locals at the meeting of ordinary living needs, and where the merchants open shops to buy things that the mountain people originally felt were worthless or useless, it will bring the second benefit to the locals, and this is long-lasting.
Merchants buy the local people's special products and sell them to Chang'an, the merchants make the first money, when those local people have money, under the promotion of the merchants, they will buy and enjoy the good goods brought by the merchants, the merchants will earn the second money, Chang'an's top ten factories are of course sitting and waiting for the merchants to collect the raw materials, make good things, and then sell them to the merchants, make wages, all the people have benefited, those uncivilized land and people will gradually be civilized in this process, the road is more and more people walk wider and wider, The local people will also imitate the fine living habits of the Han people step by step until they become Han people, and the imperial court can increase taxes with just a little guidance, and they will all be happy.
Of course, Yanglin is now only gradually solving the problem of agriculture and industry, and the problem of scholars needs to be solved by Li Shimin himself, the group of scholars holds more than half of the wealth of the Tang Dynasty and more than ninety percent of the rights, and the current scholars are all retreating, except for a few senior officials who are more practical, most of them are parasites in vain, they can't lift their hands, they can't carry their shoulders, they can't fight in battle, and they can't work in the field. Officials can't come up with good policies according to local conditions, this is the status quo of more than ninety percent of the scholars in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Lin thought about it for a long time, and he could only use the word parasite to describe them.
The sixth year of Zhenguan is the year of the Tang Dynasty, when Yanglin returned to Chang'an, Li Er added to him the title of Huaihua General and the Ministry of Soldiers, which belonged to the senior executives on the three products, and the commander-in-chief of the states and counties in the capital transferred troops, and made every effort to prepare for the military parade, and Fang Xuanling was the chief examiner of this year's big competition, Li Er was not in Beijing, and the appointment of the prime minister was determined by the prime minister, it seems that Yanglin still has to go to his house for a walk, and talk to him in depth about the problem of taking the soldier, which is a later story.
Sent away dozens of tables of businessmen in the front hall, Yang Lin came to the back hall, the layout here is naturally much more luxurious than the front hall, it is the place where Yang Lin really meets guests in the future, a long row of large sofa glass coffee table furnishings are very novel, and there are many people sitting on the sofa, which makes Yang Lin have a little bit of a feeling that the office will talk about business in the future, it seems that this horse house has to go shopping for a good time, and even his parents don't know what they look like to let outsiders know it's too embarrassing.
The appearance of these people in the back hall is naturally not as consistent as the Tang merchants in the front hall, on more than ten sofas, there are at least a dozen people from more than a dozen countries, Xue Yantuo, Hui Su, Tuyuhun, Wa Kingdom, Silla, Baekje, Goryeo, Tubo, Dashi, Gaochang, Loulan, Guizi and even Tianzhu and Persian people, Yanglin was made by these people in front of him who were dressed in a variety of ways, with a variety of skin tones and hair colors, and he felt a little proud, these people were all envoys of a country, They are stationed in Chang'an all the year round to negotiate business with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the country, and even some of them are still at war with the Tang Dynasty's army, such as Tuyuhun, Goryeo, Tubo, etc., but they firmly believe that they have what the Tang Dynasty needs, and they can get what they want from the Tang Dynasty.
For example, the Goryeo envoy Li Minxiu, they came with a large number of Korean ginseng and Dongzhu, ginseng this thing in the three eastern provinces still belongs to the Tang Dynasty of Goryeo during the Tang Dynasty is quite popular in the Tang Dynasty, a little on the year has no price, the Tang Dynasty magnates need ginseng to hang their lives when they are seriously ill, so no matter what, the Tang people will not think that this thing is too much, Dongzhu is also a good thing for beauty and decorations, more high-grade than Nanzhu, and it also has a high value in the Tang Dynasty, and for example, Tubo, they have all kinds of good breed horses, The same is true of Tuyuhun, before the Tang Dynasty did not take the Western Regions, there was not much land for raising horses, war horses belonged to war readiness consumables, and there were even people in the army in the regulations of horses, until the situation improved after the Battle of Weishui, but the gap of cattle and horses in the Tang Dynasty was still very large, after all, before the Tang Dynasty was prevalent, cattle and horses were the main driving force for the development of an agricultural country.
"Let you wait for a long time, I'm sorry, or according to the old rules, one by one, before talking about business, I want to make sure of one thing, this year I will tell the envoys of their country about the upcoming military parade! I have a request for the envoys of various countries here, that is, countries that are willing to establish diplomatic relations with my Datang, please send their own highest-level envoy team to come to watch the ceremony, even if the king comes in person, only bring a guard of less than 1,000 people, in the Datang territory, the Datang officials and soldiers are responsible for guarding the safety of the missions of various countries, and after the ceremony, they will jointly discuss the next step of the relationship and trade development plan between the two countries, and the countries that do not agree to establish diplomatic relations with our Datang can now go out directly. Datang will prohibit trade and exchanges with any country that does not have diplomatic relations. ”
With Datang's current world economic status, not having any transactions with Datang is basically equivalent to being sanctioned by the economy, as long as people who are not very stupid naturally understand why Datang is doing this, it seems that Datang will have a big move to be introduced.
