Xiao Qubing stayed in Chang'an for two days, and first went to Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong to discuss the opening of the sea ban and the mining of gold and silver mines in Japan.

In the end, the policy was that the South China Sea could be go, but not privately, and a new General Administration of Customs was established, led by the Four Seas Trading Company, with the participation of Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu, and all those who wanted to go abroad must go to the General Administration of Customs for the record, and those who dared to go abroad or go to sea without permission would be sentenced to exile or even slavery.

The matter of the gold and silver mines in Japan was also decided, and the Shikai Trading Company was still in charge of the main affairs, but the household department, Taifu, and Inner Palace had to send staff and representatives to work and supervise.

The garrison was mainly based on the army of Kannai Province, and then some were drawn from the local garrison troops, and the army was led by Yang Guozhong's people, but in case of emergency, he had to listen to the command of the Sihai Trading Company, and was supervised by Bian Lingcheng, the envoy of the supervising army.

Seeing that Li Linfu was dying, Xiao Quzhi also inadvertently persuaded him a few words, asking him not to worry too much, relax his mood, and maybe live longer, but Li Linfu refused.

In fact, Xiao Qu's illness was not for his sake, but he felt that Li Linfu's life might have some effect on restraining Yang Guozhong and deterring An Lushan, but Li Linfu was too poisoned by power and did not listen to persuasion, so Xiao Qu's illness gave up.

After doing these official tasks, Xiao went to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law again, and He Jian's order of Chang'an City this year was also smooth sailing, and the spring breeze was proud.

Xiao Quzhi thought about it, and used the two reasons that He Keer and Luoyang had a bigger stage, saying that they would move their husband and wife to move their careers to Luoyang, and promised great benefits and convenience, and then the two agreed. After preparing to go to Luoyang after the year, he will serve as the commander of the Luoyang City Bureau. and help He Keer take care of the affairs of the Four Seas Trading Company. By the way, bring your grandchildren.

Because of Li Longji's temporary trust and support, Sihai Trading Company took advantage of this great opportunity to develop rapidly, and time passed quickly in this smooth sailing atmosphere.

First of all, because of the influx of a large amount of capital and the use of advanced technology, the economy of Datang as a whole, especially the Dugi Province area, has developed rapidly.

The construction is in full swing, and only the five pillar industries of Sihai Trading Company, the food processing industry; daily necessities processing industry; mining, coking, iron smelting, steelmaking, heavy industry; High-tech industry, glass. horse-drawn carriages, papermaking, winemaking, perfumes, etc.; There is also the construction industry, which employs more than 100,000 workers by building houses and roads, and the number of workers and the people who benefit from this are even more incalculable.

In addition, although the company is the only one, it also encourages and supports the operation of small businesses and workshops, and in many cases, it not only provides technical support and guidance, but also provides financial support through the company.

Driven by the Four Seas Trading Company. The entire Tsuki Province region has set off a high ~ tide of entrepreneurship, and the economy is extremely prosperous. It has also led to the development of the service industry and the entertainment industry, and now the total population of workers and citizens in the whole of Togi Province who do not depend on the land for food has exceeded 2 million.

In Togi Province, even the peasants are much better off than before the Sihai Trading Company came.

Naturally, peasants who still have land themselves can reap great benefits from economic development, and with so many people living here who do not farm land, the demand for agricultural products will naturally increase.

Not to mention anything else, just selling vegetables made them earn money that they couldn't earn in the previous two years, and the Four Seas Trading Company was rich, and their employees and hired workers were also willing to spend money, so the price of vegetables was naturally expensive; In addition, you can also go to the city or do odd jobs on the construction site during the slack time, and your life is several times better than before.

Although the life of the tenants who rented the landlord's land was more difficult than that of the yeoman farmers, it was still much better than before, and in addition to the previous reasons, the rent of these tenants had also changed from half of the original to three or five of the present.

King Renyi of Lanling, after he returned to Luoyang, he called all the local families and big landowners to Luoyang for a meeting, and the specific content was to take them to make a fortune together, those who wanted to go to the South China Sea to explore and hunt for treasures, those who wanted to go to Japan to dig gold mines, or those who did business with the Four Seas Trading Company, all gave support.

But there is one rule, the Four Seas Trading Company only takes those good-hearted landlords to play, and if the heart is too ruthless, it will not take you to get rich, and the standard for evaluation is the proportion of landlords in each family who collect rent.

If the rent is less than 30 percent or 5, the Four Seas Trading Company will cooperate with them, and the Four Seas Trading Society will send people to various places to secretly investigate, and if it is found that the rent in any of them exceeds this proportion, they will not support them, and will find ways to suppress them in various ways.

Under some coercion and temptation, eighty percent of the families and landlords agreed, and eighty percent agreed, and the proportion was implemented as a township rule and people's agreement. But King Lanling was still afraid that some people would resist in their hearts, so he patiently explained the so-called economic principles to everyone.

In fact, many people don't understand the specific content too much, and those who understand only understand a general meaning, the first meaning is that the income from land rent is actually very small, and those who stare at the land are soil buns, no enterprising, and do not take you to play;

The second meaning is that the economy must be turned around, so that it will become richer and more profitable. If these peasants are not given more benefits, they will have no money to buy things, after all, the rich are only a minority, the rich people's markets are saturated, if the poor people do not have a little purchasing power, then things will not be sold, and if they can't be sold, the workshops will stop production, maybe they will go out of business, and then the operation of the economy will stop.

And if we can give more benefits to the poor, they will buy more things, the workshops will continue to produce, the economy will get better and better, and those benefits given to the peasants will eventually be recovered by selling their things.

In short, the second meaning is a bit mysterious, and most families and landlords don't understand it very well, let alone these farmers who farm the land. But King Lanling is a disciple of the gods, and the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and he especially likes to make money with everyone, what he said will obviously not be false, so most people willingly do it, and later facts have proved that the situation is really as King Lanling said, the more money these families and landlords make more and more.

At this time, the Sihai Trading Company proposed that if any of them were willing to sell the land to the Sihai Trading Company, they would give the other party greater support and preferential treatment in business, and some more enlightened families and landlords also recognized the King of Lanling at this time and first gave cooperation.

After the Four Seas Trading Company acquired these lands, a small part of it was naturally used to build new workshops, residential areas, and commercial areas, and most of them were leased to many farmers who had lost their land, and the rent was only 20%, and they also taught these farmers how to sow seeds, how to cultivate, and what vegetables to grow, and all the grain and vegetables grown were underwritten by the Four Seas Trading Company.

On the other hand, the lives of all the people of Togi-do have become much better, and at the same time, life has become much more convenient and colorful.

King Lanling and Sihai Trading Company funded the renovation of the streets, roads, rivers, and canals of Togi Province by hiring employees. The streets of Luoyang City have been replaced with cement roads, and the Luohe River that passes through the city has also been cleaned and dug deep and the embankment has been reinforced; The main principles in Togi Province have also become small stone roads that are easy to walk.
