Chapter 944: Meritorious service
"Your Majesty has a place where you can wait for us, please just ask, we will definitely be ruined." Because of Kou Feng's tolerance for businessmen, many people's hearts were boiling, and some people said as soon as their heads were hot.
"Yes, we're going to be all over the place." Not only one, but also someone echoed the Tao.
"Hehe, your pure heart, Lone understands it very well. However, let's listen to what Gu said first. Seeing this, Kou Feng smiled slightly and said.
didn't care, because Kou Feng knew that these people were still businessmen in essence, and a moment of enthusiasm might make them lose their livers and brains, but it would definitely not last long.
Only the linkage of interests will make the passion of businessmen continue.
"Your Majesty, please speak, and I will listen to you." Li Hui took the lead and said.
"Most of you and others should know that Lone sent troops to attack the south and exterminated Meng Shu. You should also know that in addition to exterminating Meng Shu, Gu also gained ten allies, and they are the ten countries in the south. ”
As he spoke, Kou Feng raised his head and glanced at everyone, all he saw was a very calm look, it was obvious that this group of people were well-informed, and almost all of what he said knew it.
"However, I am afraid that you don't know that the ten southern countries have become vassals of the Chu State. Moreover, the lords of the ten kingdoms have all promised to trade with each other in the state of Chu. Kou Feng smiled slightly and said.
"Commerce?" After hearing Kou Feng's words, some people's eyes lit up, and some people flashed a little disdain, businessmen will show great interest in the unknown market, but there are also businessmen who don't look very seriously at the so-called ten southern countries. After all, it is a wild place, and what business opportunities can there be.
Kou Feng knew this, too, but he had a way of making the merchants tick.
"These ten are the envoys of the ten southern countries, they admire the state of Chu, so they stay in the state of Chu to learn etiquette and music." Kou Feng pointed to the envoys next to him and said.
When the businessmen heard this, they smiled kindly at Taituo, Qing Xi and the others. And Taituo, Qing Xi and others also smiled at the businessmen, and the two sides had met.
"Gu has reached an agreement with the kings of the ten southern kingdoms, and the two sides will work together to open the road to the south." After seeing the two sides salute, Kou Feng smiled slightly.
Immediately, he gestured to the attendant next to him. The chamberlain understood and immediately walked out. A moment later, the chamberlain walked in with a few armorers, who carried a screen on their hands.
The screen is quite large, two people tall and one person wide. On it is a rough map of the state of Chu and Southeast Asia. This is the outline drawn by Kou Feng by memory, and then, let the relevant officials, after calculation, draw a relatively inferior map.
However, some clues can already be seen on the map.
The state of Chu is very big, very big. And Southeast Asia is no smaller than Chu.
Seeing this screen, most of the businessmen showed a blank look, only a few people showed a shocked look, and Li Hui's eyes flashed with surprise.
Kou Feng smiled slightly, got up and came to the side of the map, pointed to the Chu State above, and said, "This is the Chu State." Immediately, he reached down and pointed to Southeast Asia.
said: "This is the region where the ten southern countries are located. However, the ten southern countries are nothing to the entire region. There are many more indigenous, tribal tribes. The territory is vast. ”
As he spoke, Kou Feng raised his head to observe the faces of the merchants. What made him happy was that with a direct comparison of regions, the merchants found that the territory of Southeast Asia was not worse than that of Chu.
They all showed interested looks.
"You also know that the south, though poor and poor, produces gold, precious stones, pearls, jade, ivory, and other valuables. In this vast area, there are too many to count. It can definitely be purchased at a cheap price, and then transported back to the Chu State, and the sale is a hundred thousand times the benefit. ”
Saying that, Kou Feng's face showed some smiles, and said, "Even say, you don't have to buy from them at all." As long as you bring the advanced daily necessities of the Chu Kingdom, such as porcelain, bronze, some handicrafts, etc., to the south, you can exchange the same amount of gold, jade, gems and other valuables. ”
"And the price paid for these is only a little tariff to the state of Chu and the ten southern countries. Of course, tariffs are not paid for free, as long as you pay tariffs, there will be a way. As long as the road guide is in hand, no matter how far away, the armies of the Chu State and the ten southern countries will send troops to help. Help you through. ”
Finally, Kou Feng promised.
Kou Feng opened up Southeast Asia, mainly for the development of Southeast Asia by the Chu State, and spread the culture of China, so that later emperors could conquer and conquer.
However, during this period, Kou Feng is not impossible to make some military spending.
Tariffs, naturally, have to be handled. If a large number of Chu merchants poured into Southeast Asia, then the volume of trade would certainly be staggering. The amount of tax that can be collected, that's also staggering.
Moreover, this tariff Kou Feng is not in vain, just like what Kou Feng just promised, if the caravan encounters difficulties in Southeast Asia, the Chu ** team will definitely support.
And at all costs. Bloody conflicts, which were inevitable in the early days, after all, were indigenous barbarians. However, Kou Feng believed that as long as the army slaughtered a few tribes, there would be no more people bullying the merchants of the Chu State.
After the situation is stabilized, Kou Feng can also wait to collect the money.
As Kou Feng's words came one after another, the eyes of the businessmen became brighter and brighter. In the past, although the merchants knew that the south was relatively large, they had no concept until today, when Kou Feng pointed out that the south was larger than the Chu State.
The merchants were impulsive.
Big, it means a lot of production, a lot.
Although the south is poor and bad, there are many treasures.
Strange as it may seem, the treasure cannot be eaten or used. But it's just that some people love it. It's very expensive, and it can be sold for a good price. More production means a bigger market, which means sustainable development.
Decades, centuries? More than that. From ancient times to the present, there are thousands of years. But I didn't see the gold in Huaxia being dug up. What a great fortune this is.
Thinking about the situation of the gold and silver mountains, the merchants trembled with excitement.
After that, Kou Feng assured them that they had been intercepted and harmed by the natives. When the army of Chu will unite with the armies of the ten southern countries to go to the rescue.
The excitement of the businessmen could not be stopped any longer.
Living in the Chu State, they clearly know that the Chu army is strong in combat, and it is easy to deal with the natives and barbarians.
In this way, even safety is guaranteed.
As the saying goes, 100% of the benefits can make people take risks. Not to mention the fact that it could be a thousand percent benefit.
The merchants' eyes were blood-red.
"No matter what you think, this time, Lone will still do it with you. You only need to pay 1,000 gold to get the production skills of Chu Shu and the title of the chief of the house. In addition, three days later, the orphan association will announce the amount of tariffs, and you will also consider whether you want to open up to the south and make a lot of money in the south. ”
Finally, Kou Feng smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Many businessmen do need a little time to consider, although the interests are eye-catching, but the habits of businessmen are still relatively cautious.
Seeing Kou Feng say this, they naturally couldn't ask for it.
"Okay, wait a minute, and the big Si Nong Mizhu will hand over to you. Lone will go first. Kou Feng got up and said, and then, Kou Feng said to Li Hui again: "Mr. Li comes with Gu." ”
Hui Wenyan was overjoyed in his heart, promised and immediately followed.
This made many businessmen extremely red, because they knew that Li Hui had already embarked on a career in office, and with Kou Feng, the son of heaven, personally leading the way, the front was flat.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." I was extremely jealous in my heart, but the merchants still gave priority to Kou Feng.
Under the congratulations of the merchants, Kou Feng led Li Hui out.
Soon, Kou Feng got on the chariot and returned to the palace of the king of Chu. On the chariot, Kou Feng was full of smiles. For a long time, Kou Feng has the heart to open up the southeast, but he has the heart to be powerless, after all, Cao Cao in the north still exists.
Now, with the help of merchants, he has opened up to the south. So as to spread culture and open up the way. Kou Feng believed that in a few decades, Southeast Asia would become the backyard of the Chu State.
Today, not only did it accept more than 70 merchants, totaling more than 70,000 gold. Solved the small financial troubles, and then sent a large army of merchants to open up Southeast Asia.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Kou Feng's mood is naturally very good.
As for the reason for bringing Li Hui, Kou Feng didn't want to bury the talent. It's a pity that an important minister in the history of Shu Han was buried like this.
In addition, Kou Feng also planned to add a deputy to Zhuge Liang.
After all, when Kou Feng asked Zhuge Liang to guard the south in the past, he didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly. It can lead businessmen to enter Southeast Asia on a large scale.
The pressure on Zhuge Liang himself must have multiplied. Therefore, it is also very practical to add a deputy to Zhuge Liang.
Soon, Kou Feng's chariot entered the palace. In the rear, Li Hui, who was following in a car, was very excited, this was the core of the Chu State.
Soon after entering the palace, the group arrived at a side hall. Kou Feng led Li Hui in. Kou Feng went straight to the throne and sat down.
"Sir, might have guessed Lone's intentions?"
After kneeling down, Kou Feng asked with a smile.
"Open up financial routes and prosper the Chu State." Li Hui clenched his fists and said.
"Open up financial routes and prosper the Chu State." After Kou Feng heard this, he nodded unconsciously, Li Hui was able to understand this, which was enough to see his talent, but he underestimated him too much.
"This is just one of them, the most important thing is to develop the southeast. Prepare for the conquest of the southeast by the army in later generations. Kou Feng's eyes flashed, and he said word by word.
Li Hui's eyes immediately widened and he looked at Kou Feng in disbelief.
It turned out that whether it was to support the ten countries in the south or to make decisions, it was a superficial phenomenon to let businessmen pour into the southeast. The real purpose is to swallow the southeast.
However, immediately Li Hui felt his blood boiling. In the past, no one could understand how vast the south was, and only thought that it was a poor mountain and a bad water.
But Kou Feng's map clearly told them. The expanse of the southeast is no smaller than that of Kyushu. If it can be developed and conquered.
That's the work of the ages.
Li Hui's blood was boiling.
