Chapter 446: Zongzi Beauty (4)

Gift?

Cao Peng really didn't think that Su Shuang could bring him any gifts worthy of his surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info or Divine Soldier, or BMW......

Does he lack weapons?

Cao Peng's son, Cao Ji, is the most famous master today, and the weapons he made are worth thousands of gold and have no price; As for the BMW good horse? If it is not the level of the lion and tiger beast, it is estimated that it will be difficult to arouse Cao Peng's interest. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have given a divine horse like Teriyabai to Xiahou Lan as a mount. For Cao Peng, Su Shuang is valued because of his business ability. A horse dealer who can dominate Hebei, a giant who can easily roam between Hu and Han, is definitely an amazing talent. And what Hexi needs most at present is Su Shuang's management ability.

Therefore, after Su Shuang finished speaking, Cao Peng did not take it to heart.

just asked people to send the 'gift' to his small tent, and pulled Su Shuang to talk about things.

"Su Gong, I want to open a chamber of commerce in Hexi, I hope Su Gong can serve as the first head of the bank, I don't know if it's possible?"

"Chamber of Commerce?"

Su Shuang was stunned and thought for a while, "But it's the same as Gongzi's guild in Haixi?" ”

"There are similarities and differences.

The guild in general, in general, was a semi-independent organization from the government, and more often than not, cooperative. The Chamber of Commerce, on the other hand, is a semi-official organization that is attached to the government. Su Gongdang knew that the business in Hexi was barren, and the way of trading was also very primitive. The Chamber of Commerce is to create a better business environment for Hexi, and at the same time, it is also responsible for guidance and supervision. Therefore, this chamber of commerce is more authoritative than the association, and at the same time bears greater responsibility.

I thought about it, only Su Gong was the most suitable for this position, but I didn't know, whether Su Gong was willing to give in? ”

Su Shuang was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.

How could he not feel that Cao Peng valued him?

This chamber of commerce, once established, will be responsible for the normal operation of the entire Hexi business. If you weren't a confidant, you would definitely not be entrusted with such an important task...... Su Shuang became more and more convinced that he had made the most correct decision in his life.

"Childe values it so much, Shuangyan doesn't serve his life?"

Su Shuang hurriedly got up and once again pledged his allegiance to Cao Peng.

And everyone from the Su family in the tent also saluted one after another, expressing their gratitude to Cao Peng.

Seeing that Su Shuang was willing to accept the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce, Cao Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, he has considered many people. Including the nine leaders when he was in Haixi, but in the end he denied them one by one.

Cause?

It's very simple: the pattern is not enough!

The leaders of the nine major banks in Haixi may have some means in business, but the overall situation is too poor.

In a county in Haixi, you may still be able to do it well, and even in a state, you can do it well; But if it is placed in Hexi, it is far from enough. Hexi is a place where Hu and Han live in a wrong place, connecting Guanzhong in the south, bordering Saiwai in the north, and the famous Hexi Corridor in the west, and how to Hebei in the south. Therefore, the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce has locked the overall situation in the place where it was conceived. The head of this chamber of commerce not only needs to be proficient in business, but also to have a holistic view, which also involves contact with foreign races. In particular, the Hexi Corridor used to be the only way for the Central Plains culture to be exported to the outside world. Now, with the decline of the status of the merchants, coupled with the years of war, it has been almost abandoned.

Cao Peng hopes to reopen the Silk Road through the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce.

Hexi, it shouldn't be a closed Hexi!

Just as Li Ru said: Hexi should be an inclusive and open place, which can promote the great martial arts of our Central Plains externally, and absorb and integrate various cultures internally, so as to achieve a common situation.

Cao Peng thought about it and thought that Su Shuang was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate......

After talking with Su Shuang for a long time, he perfected many details of the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce. At the end, Su Shuang took the plan and left. Cao Peng's idea undoubtedly had a huge impact on Su Shuang. He needs to digest it slowly to be able to make a better plan. And this digestion takes a certain amount of time.

The Hexi County Chamber of Commerce is the first step for Cao Peng to cross the river by feeling the stones.

After that, Cao Penghui gradually regulated and improved the role of merchants, and further stimulated the prosperity of goods through the more rapid circulation of goods. It will take a long time, but Cao Peng feels that as long as he persists, there will always be results.

After settling down the Su Shuang family, Cao Pengfu found Li Ru again.

He said what he had said, and then he made his thoughts clear to Li Ru one by one.

"If there is a blessing, it can indeed disturb Jia Xing's train of thought...... Well, I'll visit Zhudao in a while. ”

"That's good."

Li Ru smiled slightly and motioned for Cao Peng to sit down.

"I've been thinking about one thing all these days.

The timing wasn't too ripe before, so it's hard to say. Now, since Su Shuang's family is here, and he is willing to die for his son, it is almost time to tell him. Su Shuang had offered advice to Gongzi before, buying slaves from outside the Saiwai, can Gongzi remember? ”

According to the scale of this Hexi, it is more than enough to accommodate one million people.

It is a pity that with the imperial court's disregard for Hexi, the good foundation laid back then was burned down in a hundred years.

Central Plains, still in the melee.

Even if Cao Cao killed the Yuan clan and unified the north, the war would continue to spread.

It is very difficult to migrate people from the Central Plains. For example, this time, Cao Cao's migration of 8,000 households is already the limit.

Therefore, if we want to increase the population of Hexi, on the one hand, we must naturalize and integrate the local Qianghu alien races, and at the same time, we must continue to plunder from outside the Saiwai, which has continued to increase. It is even said that in the next 10 years, or even 100 years, the captivity of the population from outside Cyprus will become a necessary means. Although Cao Peng didn't like this, he had to admit that this method was the most effective.

Who made the population of Hexi barren and needed a lot of labor?

"It is true."

Li Ru said: "But it's just to buy slaves, I'm afraid that the pattern will be smaller." ”

"Oh?"

"Do you know how many alien races there are in this desert north? How many tribes are these aliens divided into? And how many contradictions and conflicts are there between these tribes...... Previously, whether it was Tanshi Huai, or even Maodun back then, they relied on tough means to condense into big clans like the Xiongnu and Xianbei. But in reality, the conflicts between tribes have never decreased. Childe, you pull one, the idea of hitting one, there is nothing wrong with it, but to be honest, there is also the possibility of raising tigers by doing so. There is a plan, I don't know if the son is willing to obey? ”

Cao Peng hurriedly said, "Please also ask Mr. for advice." ”

"It's very simple, let Su Shuang stir up contradictions between those tribes.

Big tribes and big tribes clash and small tribes clash ...... At the same time, the purchase of slaves was increased. In this way, Gongzi does not need to worry about the lack of population in Hexi, and can lead the Outer Mobei to maintain a situation of continuous conquest and continuous extinction. Whichever is stronger, let's support other tribes to join forces to attack...... Childe can't come forward, just need someone to provoke outside. In this way, Hexi can develop steadily and continue to expand outward. This process of expansion, maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years...... But one day, when those Hu people can no longer join forces, it will be the day when Gongzi will enter the Mobei Saiwai! Hehe, I don't know what Childe thinks? ”

Cao Peng's heart moved, and he nodded secretly.

Li Ru's idea is indeed a clever move.

If it can be implemented, the whole of Cyprus will be plunged into constant conflict and war......

However, what Li Ru is proposing now is just an idea.

To be specific and implemented, more detailed arrangements are needed.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Peng suddenly smiled and said, "I want to entrust this matter to Mr. Yu." If Mr. asks for someone, I will give it to others, and if he wants money, I will give money, and everything is arranged by Mr. I just don't know, is the gentleman willing to take on this important responsibility? ”

Li Ru laughed, "If the son is not humble to Confucianism, he is willing to take on this important responsibility." ”

Cao Peng nodded again and again......

After talking with Li Ru for a long time, Cao Peng was also a little tired.

Li Ru went to find Zhudao, while Cao Peng returned to his residence. In the small tent, there was a wooden bucket, and the water in it had been boiled. Bu Luan was sprinkling flower petals into the wooden barrel, and when he saw Cao Peng coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Where's Xiaohuan?"

"Sister Cai is a little uncomfortable today, and Xiaohuan is over there to help take care of it."

"Oh? What's the problem? ”

Cao Peng has been pulled by Guo Huan and Bu Luan these days, and often walks around with Cai Yan. First, Cai Yan has endorsed nearly 100 books, Cao Peng often goes over to take a look, and secondly, Guo Huan's second daughter and Cai Yan have a good relationship and often chat together.

"But I endorsed it a few days ago, and I was a little tired and caught some wind cold, so I didn't feel very comfortable.

However, there is no major problem, and someone has been asked to treat me...... Husband, the concubine has one thing that I want to discuss with you. Sister Cai memorizes classics every day, which is extremely hard. And she also has to take care of Adi and Amei, which is really ...... I discussed it with Sister Huan, and I wanted someone to buy some slaves and maids for her from the Central Plains, so that she could take care of her, right? ”

Cao Peng was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his forehead.

"It was my negligence...... only paid attention to protecting the safety of Cai's family, but forgot to find someone to take care of it.

Well, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible, you will write a letter in a while, and I will send someone to Xu Du overnight, and ask Yueying and Xiaozhen to help find a few slaves and maids...... But before that, you and Xiaohuan will put a little more effort into it, and by the way, select two handmaidens from the camp who are diligent and can read and write, and if it is the best to read and write, they will take care of them first. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

Bu Luan seemed very happy, so he happily agreed.

She served Cao Peng to change her clothes, and then Cao Peng jumped into the bathtub naked and buried her body completely in the water.

That comfortable feeling made Cao Peng can't help but let out a soft snort.

"By the way, Su Shuang just sent someone to send a box, saying that it was a gift for her husband, and it was there...... The box was quite large, but the concubine hadn't had time to open it yet. ”

Bu Luan walked out and turned back to explain.

Cao Peng answered, indicating that he knew, and then closed his eyes and enjoyed this rare peace.

Suddenly, he heard a faint, vague voice.

Cao Peng hurriedly stood up, and with a bang, the water in the bath bucket splashed everywhere......

"Who?"

"Uh-huh-mm-mm......"

It was as if someone was in the tent, but he couldn't speak. At the same time, there was a series of fluffy sounds, as if it was hitting something. Following the sound, Cao Peng saw that in the corner of the tent, there was a large box shaking. He hurriedly stepped out of the tub, picked up a long knife, and strode to the box.

The long knife clicked and locked the short lock, Cao Peng picked the box with the edge of the knife, lifted it upward, and then took a step back and stretched out his head to look.

This look surprised him......
