Chapter 943: Southeast Asian Storm (Second Update)

"Your Majesty, a total of seventy-five people who came to buy the forging technique of Chu Shu have now gathered in the official residence outside the palace."

Soon after, Kou Shui entered the main hall and reported to Kou Fengyu.

Originally, Kou Feng was going to hold it in the main hall, but later considering that this was the place where hundreds of officials met and some officials discriminated against businessmen, Kou Feng retreated and chose an official residence as the location of this grand event.

"Swing."

Kou Feng nodded and got up.

Shui promised, turned around and walked out. Kou Feng then walked out, got on a chariot outside the main hall, and headed towards the outside of the palace.

Soon after, they arrived at the official residence.

The official residence here is quite large, and Kou Feng was originally prepared for the three dukes. However, Sima Hui and Pang Degong are nostalgic for Jingzhou and Chuxue. I didn't come to Chengdu, so I was idle.

It just so happened that this time it was used to meet those big businessmen. Arriving at the residence, Kou sealed the carriage and stepped inside. Soon, we came to the hall.

In the hall, there were more than 80 people. In addition to the big merchants, there are also those protons left in Chengdu by the ten southern countries.

Chu said that it was big and big, but it was also small when it was small. At least a businessman who can accumulate thousands of dollars at home has an absolutely narrow scope. Hence the big businessmen who are gathered today. Or have business dealings, or have heard of reputation.

Businessmen are good at talking, so they are very familiar with conversation. The atmosphere was congenial.

However, from the eyes of some businessmen, who kept shaking to the door, it can be seen that many people are absent-minded.

As for the protons of the ten countries, including Taituo and Qing Yan, they have also completely changed. The so-called change does not refer to appearance, when they first came to Chu State, they were already wearing Han clothes.

But at one time, whether it is words or deeds, it is still very vulgar. But after nearly two or three months of teaching, these people have already obtained the essence from both sitting posture and demeanor.

It looks so much like the same thing. The more outstanding of this group, such as Taituo and Qingxi, have even been able to communicate with people in relatively sluggish Chinese.

However, even if it is resemblance, it lacks a kind of verve. Let people know at a glance that they are not from their own people. Therefore, there is a big gap between these protons and the big merchants.

The two groups of people can be said to be distinct.

"Are these the protons of the so-called Ten Southern Kingdoms?"

However, it is not that no one is interested in the protons of these ten countries. Among the merchants, there was one person who showed interest in these protons.

This man was about thirty years old, fair-skinned, handsome, and elegant in demeanor and temperament, and at worst from an ordinary scholar's family. Among the merchants, it is like standing out from the crowd.

Extremely eye-catching.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived."

However, whether it was the man who was about thirty years old, or the rest of the people, they all looked at the door in unison at the sound of the waiter.

Emperor.

The Son of Heaven of the State of Chu.

The expressions on the faces of the businessmen were very excited, not to mention the benefits of this grand event. Let's just say that being able to meet the Son of Heaven is already worth the ticket price.

Oh my God. How many businessmen have been able to meet the Son of Heaven in the past? It's rare. This time, Kou Feng personally received one of the reasons why so many businessmen came here.

It proves that the will of Kou Feng, the son of heaven of Chu State, is not ranked as a businessman. This is great news for businessmen. If it's like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Treat the merchants as money, and when they are short of money, they kill the merchants, be strong and take money. That's terrible.

Facing everyone's eyes, Kou Feng calmly walked up to the seat and knelt down.

"Meet Your Majesty."

When Kou Feng sat down, a group of people greeted Dao together.

"No courtesy." Kou Feng smiled slightly, very kind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed and thanked Kou Feng in unison.

"This time, one of the reasons why Lone summoned you here is because if the state continues to supply Chu Shu for free, it will cost a lot. Second, it is also because of the state's policy of reducing taxes, which leads to the fact that the treasury is not full. Lonely is like selling Chu Shu's forging technology in order to raise funds. The value of this Chu Shu technique is very high. But Lone also knows that if so many of you are divided, the value will drop greatly. A thousand gold, that's a bit much. Lonely, thank you for your support. ”

Kou Feng said to the merchants with an unexpectedly respectful demeanor and an honest tone. This is from the bottom of his heart, because Kou Feng knows that it is up to them to open up Southeast Asia.

It should not be a high-minded demeanor.

In Kou Feng's view, it is also appropriate to be kind to these big businessmen. However, listening to the ears of businessmen is a different feeling.

Kou Feng showed the most basic respect, as well as integrity. Tell them very bluntly that because of low taxes, the treasury is not full.

This is the only one among the Sons of Heaven who spoke to the merchants in this way. This made the businessmen, who had always been of relatively low status, feel the urge to leave tears at this moment.

Suddenly, there was an understanding that a person who is a confidant dies. It turns out that the reason why the scholar can be generous to righteousness is because of this feeling.

"Your Majesty has single-handedly pacified the troubled times. It is also a bright world in the world, and the merit is in the future. Now the state of Chu is thriving, and there is only one step left to unify Kyushu. We are Huaxia and Chu people. When the country is in difficulty, it is also a matter of course to stand up. ”

Suddenly, someone spoke. It was the man in his thirties who paid attention to the protons of the ten southern countries just now.

"Well said. Although Lone is the Son of Heaven, the country belongs to everyone. As long as the country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone can develop with peace of mind. Kou Feng glanced at the man appreciatively, nodded and said.

Kou Feng was instilling the concept of the state in the merchants, so that they could huddle together and help each other and unite with the outside world when Southeast Asia was clearing.

Dig up the money of the barbarian natives. It is also advisable to take root and thrive in Southeast Asia.

"Your Majesty has overdone it. The grass people just think it's supposed to be so. The man said modestly.

"Okay, that's how it should be." Kou Feng's eyes were even more appreciative when he heard this, and then he looked at the man carefully.

From conversation to reflexes, this guy is not simple. After Kou Feng looked at it carefully for a moment, he felt even more that it was not simple.

Why are businessmen of this era looked down upon? That's not without reason, even the biggest businessmen are mostly filled with the smell of copper.

On the contrary, the scholars are different, and their tutors are generally very good. Outstanding appearance, elegant conversation, and very good temperament. And this guy in front of him doesn't seem to be a businessman.

"You are?" Kou Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are Li Hui of Nanzhou." Li Hui said very respectfully when he heard this.

"Li Hui?"

Kou Feng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered a record in his heart. Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are many outstanding people who can be remembered.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and the like are all famous.

But there are also people who are not well-known, but who have made significant contributions to their country. Li Hui is one of them. If he doesn't show up.

Li Hui was supposed to be the governor of the southern military administration during Liu Bei's period, as the governor. Later, Meng was revolted, and Li Hui led his troops to connect with Zhuge Liang to conduct a campaign.

At the end of the war, Li Hui contributed the most. He is an indispensable general in Shu Han. Most people don't know Li Hui, but because Kou Feng knows the Three Kingdoms well, he knows.

This guy is actually a businessman?

It was precisely because he knew that Kou Feng was more and more surprised. Li Hui should be from a scholar family, why did he become a businessman?

"Li Hui? Lone has heard of you, and it seems that you are not a businessman? With Kou Feng's current status, he naturally asks if he wants to, so it is natural to express the doubts in his heart.

The businessmen next to him all looked at Li Hui with envy and jealousy, just now Li Hui stepped forward, and won Kou Feng's appreciation, which made many people red.

Now listening to Kou Feng, it seems that he has also heard of Li Hui. Now it's the same again. If you can talk to Kou Feng well and calmly, you may be soaring into the sky.

In terms of the national strength of the Chu State now, it is really soaring.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is indeed not a businessman. However, when the minister heard that His Majesty had issued an edict to sell the production process of Chu Shu, his heart moved. scattered his wealth and came to Chengdu. ”

Li Hui said.

Li Hui was originally a son of the Nanzhong clan, and he was an official in his early years, but he was a minor official. Just like what is recorded in the history books, the talent is good.

However, there was no way to meet Kou Feng, and I happened to hear about Kou Feng's sale of the Chu book manufacturing process, and guessed that the treasury of Chu might be a little insufficient.

Therefore, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he scattered all his wealth and came to Chengdu, intending to get this opportunity to meet Kou Feng in person.

After Kou Feng listened to Li Hui's words, he was able to guess the results. Sometimes it's hard to find talent, but sometimes it's hard to find talent.

Nanzhou has just been established, and everything is in ruins. Nanzhou Thorn Shi Dong He, mostly made achievements in the local area. For the selection of talents, the recommendation obviously failed to be busy.

So, Li Hui was negligent.

Now Li Hui did not choose to go into hiding, but strived to go upstream, relying on his own skills, and finding an opportunity to meet him, he really had perseverance.

Kou Feng knew Li Hui's ability, and he loved money in his heart.

"I have a heart." However, in the end, Kou Feng did not answer immediately, but nodded and said three words.

But these three words are much more important to Li Hui than any praise. This means that he has a certain impression in Kou Feng's heart.

He scattered all his possessions and went north, and he succeeded.

"Your Majesty." Li Hui's eyes were filled with excitement and deep admiration.

Kou Feng nodded, then raised his head and said, "That's it." Next, you wait for the gold to be sent into the official residence of Dasi Nong Mizhu, and after calculating. Lone immediately issued an edict to canonize you as the chief of the concubine and give you the forging process of Chushu. as a reward for your deeds. ”

"In addition to this, Lone has another important matter to discuss with you."

Finally, Kou Feng said again.

Originally, the merchants heard that Kou Feng finally spoke and canonized them as the chief of the concubine. I was very excited in my heart, and when I arrived at Kou Feng, I said that there was still a big matter to discuss with them.

The merchants were even more excited, because they realized that what Chu Tianzi wanted to discuss with them was definitely not simple. And after the Book of Chu, it must be the finale.

What is it exactly?

Everyone was speculating, but Li Hui was the only one who vaguely guessed that it might be related to the protons of the ten countries in front of him.

"The cultural invasion, the commercial plundering began in full swing."

Kou Feng smiled slightly in his heart, a little happy. Perhaps, with this wind, the state of Chu can step into Southeast Asia and have a direct impact.
