Chapter 54: The Journey of Expansion

Easier said than done, Zhao Zhen also took a lot of effort to get the central power, and the local changes are a little powerless, such a large territory is not something that can be done by changing a few people, not to mention that there are still some troublesome guys who can't get rid of it.

"There is a long way to go, and the only way to do this is to set up the framework first and slowly change it!" Zhao Zhen stared at the map on the wall and sighed helplessly: "It's still Taizu, his old man's mentality is good!" 'Struggle with the sky, the joy is endless! Struggle with the ground, the fun is endless! Struggle with people, the fun is endless! 'The revolution has not yet succeeded, and I still have to work hard!' ”

Generally speaking, the vast majority of the people in the world are not very interested in the changes in the imperial court, it seems that since ancient times, the Chinese people have no passion for participating in political affairs, everyone only cares about whether they can eat enough, whether they can support their families, and who else is the emperor has nothing to do with them.

It is precisely like this, when the people see the content of the "Heavenly Saint Reform", they are just hehe.

Of course, the general ideas of the people do not represent the thoughts of those who have hearts. This "strange girl" in Jinling City is this person with a heart, since the Royal Times first sold it in Jinling City, she has always paid attention to the changes in this country through the newspaper. Based on a series of intelligence analysis, she felt that her guess was quite correct.

At first, just to support her family, she opened a restaurant, and later in order to be less empty, she changed the toss of the law. At this moment, she had a bigger purpose.

The annual general meeting of shareholders of Siqi Group Group opened again in Siqi Restaurant.

"Shareholders, thank you for your sincere cooperation over the years, please drink this cup!" Zhang Rou took the lead in raising a glass in celebration.

"Drink to win!" Everyone raised their glasses in congratulations.

"Everyone, please poop, let's eat and talk! According to our statistical data, our group has occupied most of the market in various industries in Jinling City over the years. If this continues, there will be no way out for those small households, which is a situation I don't want to see, and our group, as the top spot in Jinling, should afford to lead everyone to make money together. ”

"Chairman, you are right, we can't just make money and let the villagers poke our backbones!" Some people with a little kindness at heart deeply agreed with Zhang Rou's words.

Of course, there are also people who are more concerned about making money and ask: "What are the plans of the little lady?" ”

"Everyone, don't be impatient, and let me talk about it carefully, over the years, we can say that we have involved all walks of life, and the young children sent by your families have also learned a lot of skills, it's time for them to go out and break through!" In order to cultivate a group of their own strength, Zhang Rou asked the shareholders to send their young children to cultivate.

Over the years, Zhang Rou has benefited a lot from the theoretical knowledge of the group while practicing it in various positions of the group, and she can be regarded as the first batch of graduates of the private business school in Da Song!

For the performance of their children, all parents are full of joy and joy, and at this moment they heard that Zhang Rou intends to train them, and they are looking forward to it.

Zhang Rou continued: "My idea is to let them each choose one of my states in the Great Song Dynasty to operate, and our group will contribute money and resources, and let them serve as temporary treasurers in various places, and consider lifting and lowering according to their performance. All in all, let's do business all over the country, so that the reputation of Siqi Group resounded throughout the country, are you willing to give it a go? ”

The old people are still hesitating, and the young people have been provoked to show their hearts, and they are clamoring to show their strength, and finally forced by the prestige that Zhang Rou has accumulated over the years to promote this expansion meeting.

The Great Song Dynasty has nearly twenty roads and hundreds of states, and it is impossible to occupy these individuals who want to rely on Zhang Rou's cultivation. After discussion, we decided to take Jinling as the center, radiate to all directions one by one, and at the same time attract more powerful businesses from all over the country to join the organization.

As a result, Jiangnan East Road, Liangzhejiang Road, Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road have emerged in Siqi Group.

They have perfect theoretical guidance from later generations, as well as practical experience, plus various advanced products or technologies accumulated over the years. One by one, like a fierce dragon crossing the river, killing all directions, the name of Jinling merchants was also fired by them, and the Siqi Group was even more resounding in the southeast. Hearing that the Siqi Group has the intention of expanding, businessmen with some strength from all over the country have gone to negotiate.

Although the road to expansion is not likely to be smooth sailing, and there must be local protection forces in various places, but driven by interests, everyone still chooses to cooperate and make a fortune.

Zhang Rou is like a big spider, weaving a huge web in the southeast of the Great Song Dynasty, and the interests are the silk threads. This move seems to be sharing their own benefits to others, but in fact, it is seizing the market in a bright and bright way, and the abacus from the hearts of the business elites of later generations is very good.

"Uncle Cai, how has the situation been with the branches in various places during this time?" A few months after the expansion plan was implemented, Zhang Rou approached Wang Youcai to understand the situation.

"Thanks to you! The old man and the other old guys went out to check it out, and those juniors are doing a decent job, much better than when we were young, and you taught them well! Thank you, old man! Wang Youcai said with emotion.

"Over the years, I have been pressuring everyone not to expand, in fact, considering the lack of manpower and ability that we can trust, I would rather spend time in advance to lay the foundation than blindly expand. As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, isn't that the truth! ”

"What my niece said is yes, you deserve to be called a 'strange girl', with this mentality, people of such an age as the old man are ashamed of themselves! To be honest, when our business increased greatly, the old man couldn't wait, ashamed! Wang Youcai waved his hand and said a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, you're laughing! Today's niece has an inquiry. ”

"Oh, let's hear it, the old man must know everything!"

"You know, niece, I have never had the opportunity to go out to see the outside world, I don't know how I live with the people? Rich or poor? ”

Wang Youcai thought for a while before replying: "If you want to say that our dynasty has gone through four generations of emperors and made great efforts, and now the general life is still passable, but it is not necessarily true to say that it is rich. It's a little better in the city, but the life of those people in the countryside is still quite hard, especially those who have lost their land, and I can't say that day! ”

As soon as Zhang Rou heard this, she wondered, wasn't the Song Dynasty quite rich at this time in her memory, and she had watched it in the city all these years, why was the gap outside so big!

"Uncle Cai, what do you mean by that?"

"My niece doesn't know! As time went by, a lot of land was changed to their names, and they became richer and richer, and the people who lost their land became poorer and poorer. In order to eliminate the rebellion of the displaced people, I don't know which official came up with the absurd method of turning the people into soldiers, and these landless displaced people were all branded as unpaid soldiers. That is, let them gather together to support themselves with their own ideas, and it is also convenient for the court to manage. That's it, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer! ”

"I see, I see that there are many rich families in the city, and I think that I have a good life for the people! I don't know if Uncle Cai has ever heard that 'full of losses, humble benefits!' ’? ”

"I want to hear about it!" Wang Youcai pondered for a while and spoke.

"In the past few years, we have all worked hard together to open up this great situation. And now that we are almost in the harvest season, there must be a lot of money in the house! ”

"Hey, hey! Thanks to you, I've made a lot of money over the years, but I can't compare with you! Wang Youcai said with a smile.

"Everyone in the world says that we and other businessmen are rich and unkind, which has a certain amount of truth, because the vast majority of businessmen in my dynasty have forgotten one word, that is, willingness. Willing, willing, giving will be gained. The family of businessmen has multiple benefits and light righteousness, but we do not know that what we take from the people should also give back to the people appropriately. We can't earn enough money in this world, even if we earn more money, it is not enough for our children and grandchildren to lose, and the most important thing for us should be to accumulate blessings for them. This is why I have not interfered in the industries of salt, iron, grain and medicine for so many years, and these people are fundamental, although they make money, they are hurtful. However, now I plan to make some changes, the monopoly of the salt and iron government has nothing to do with us, but the grain and medicine industry has a lot to do! ”

"Niece means we also go to sell food and medicine?" Wang Youcai asked suspiciously.

"Hmm!" Zhang Rou nodded and said: "Although it is also for sale, each has its own way of selling, and it is stated in advance that my niece does not plan to make money in these two businesses, and may lose money." ”

Wang Youcai shook his head and said, "The old man doesn't understand? ”

"As my niece said earlier, she is full of losses and benefits. Our current state is full, and at this time we should do something good and accumulate virtue! Therefore, the niece plans to use half of the family property to open a pharmacy and stock up on food! The grain is sold in our supermarket, and we promise to sell grain at a fair price forever. As for the pharmacy! I plan to open it in a place where the poor live in the city, hire famous doctors to sit in for consultations, treat those who are poor at a low price or free of charge, and regularly send doctors to the countryside for consultation. These two businesses can't make money, so I don't plan to pull everyone to do it together, but you can tell everyone that those who are willing to participate can cooperate with me, or they can do it alone, and it is all voluntary! ”

"Your words, let the old man be ashamed! I've lived so much in vain, I haven't thought about it yet, you're right, I'm just a kid in my family, and I'm doing a good job now, what's the use of me making so much money as an old man! Shinong businessmen, we and other businessmen live at the end of the four people, but no one has ever thought of changing this status quo, my niece is really a 'strange girl' through the ages! Think about what ordinary people don't think, what ordinary people don't do, wow, the old man also followed! But the old man doesn't have the energy to do this, so I'll leave it to my niece! The others were left to the old man to probe the mouth. ”

"Uncle Cai, you are high-spirited, benevolent and good, I think you will definitely be famous for eternity in the future!" Zhang Rou bowed deeply to him.

"Haha...... If there really is such a day, it will also be your light! Wang Youcai laughed heartily when he heard this.
