Chapter 139: We Are the Conquerors
Cao Shi glared at him: "The Dou family's money is not right, it is covered by the Empress Dowager, we can't learn from the Dou family to die, and it is better to earn less and live a long life if we hold so much money." %”
"Hehe, don't you guys want to ask if you have any plans?" The noble disciples stared at him with wide eyes.
Everyone knows the roots, and I heard some rumors a few days ago, Wuyang Hou Fan frequently went in and out of Pingyang Hou's Mansion, carrying a large amount of copper money out of the mansion to put usury, and the news flew all over their small circle like wings.
Pingyang Hou's usury is not a new thing, compared to other Liehou who smashed in a lot of money to lend money to make money, Cao Shi's methods are quite clean, and the income is relatively least.
What is new is that the usury interest rate of Cao Shi's family is extremely high, which completely violates the usual low-key style, and it is even more strange to lend loans to wealthy businessmen and Haoqiang.
That group of people, raising money everywhere to raise prices, trying to attack the group of rich businessmen and tycoons who were destroyed and subdued, they wanted to put Shaofu to death.
After realizing it, Cao Shi, this kid set up a trap, and they guessed correctly, but the process was a little different.
Initially, Cao Shi didn't expect that a group of people would jump out to find fault, Shaofu launched a new money law, and if you are willing to accept it, you can use it, and if you are not happy, you don't need it, there is no third option, after all, the people don't fight with the officials.
But some people don't believe in evil, they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and they want to weigh a few catties and taels of Shaofu.
They did bring a lot of impact, at least unprepared, affecting the normal transactions of the Shaofu Money Exchange, and the bad influence is still spreading outward.
can't move back to this game, and Shaofu's reputation is damaged to the second. The prestige of the imperial court was greatly reduced, affecting the personal image of the Son of Heaven, and giving a group of small people the opportunity to exploit loopholes.
Then. Coming back to his senses in the sudden blow, Cao Shi hatched a bold plan in his mind, inviting the second lieutenant of Jiuqing, and the lieutenant fully cooperated, and framed the Dou family into a humiliation.
The money lent out by the Pingyang Hou Mansion was not operated by Cao Shi himself.
In order to avoid people's eyes, he took out all the savings earned by the Pingyang Marquis Mansion over the years. Find Wuyang Hou Fan It is widely operated by him personally, and the whole process of remote control lending.
Combining Fan Taguang's 200 million money and his own 1.3 billion money into the loan, he had already planned to pit the wealthy businessmen. So the interest was doubled as much, and the formalities were handled by Guò Fan Itguang, and at that time, those wealthy businessmen were completely crazy, and they didn't expect that there was a big pit waiting for them to jump in.
1.5 billion dollars full double the interest. Within 3 months, the principal and interest will be paid off 3o billion yuan. The entire family property mortgaged by hundreds of wealthy businessmen is enough to have 2o billion yuan, after all, they are borrowing real estate, and it is very common to discount 30% of the value.
It is impossible to turn 1.5 billion yuan into 3o billion yuan of debt, and after removing the 2o billion yuan of assets mortgaged, the rich businessmen and tycoons who borrowed only a few hundred million yuan of assets remained, and finally obtained 2.4 billion yuan from Shaofu after conversion, although it did not double, it also increased by more than 50 percent, and the rate of return was already very amazing.
Hundreds of greedy gazes watched. Cao Shi said slowly: "It's not difficult to make money, I have a way to make you make a lot of money." Longxi to open a trade route to the west, it requires a lot of investment, do you dare to go? ”
"Longxi to the west? Isn't that the high mountains of Longxi? You can't go to that place, we Han people can't climb such a high mountain, and people can't stand it. ”
"Someone tried to climb it before, but they couldn't stand it when they reached the halfway point down the mountain, and I heard that there was a mountain up there, and we couldn't go up."
"You're going to die there!"
A sucker!
Cao Shi was angry in his heart, the ancient Han people were diligent, simple, brave and tenacious, and there were many disadvantages hidden in a lot of benefits, such as narrow-mindedness and stubbornness.
There are a lot of old stubborns, especially in the old Huang school, there are a bunch of bad old men up and down, who like to hum when they speak, and they don't need to be clever when they look at people, because they feel that they are qualified to be old, and young people should respect the old and serve the old.
Serve your sister's old!
The country is handed over to the old man who eats the ancients, and sooner or later he will be crushed by Liu Che, the son of heaven who is eager for quick success.
Can't let the old decay mess around, and can't let Liu Che have an excuse to abolish Huang Lao Wuwei, so Cao Shi stood up.
Just find me in the statecraft, Huang Lao Xinxue can also find me, those old men hurry up and get out of the rest and leave the world to the young people to deal with.
There are many irons of the Huang Lao School in the meritorious liehous, their statecraft is not good, and they are definitely not inferior to those old decays.
If you don't get rid of these people, you don't have to think about the possibility of Hehuang Tuobian, whether you go up the mountain or not go up the mountain is enough for them to argue for decades, just like seeing a red ticket while walking, and arguing about whether you should take the moral hazard of picking up money.
These guys are useful sometimes, sometimes they're a bunch of trash, and they're pig teammates who tickle the roots of his teeth that he hates.
Resolutely can't be pitted by pig teammates.
Cao Shi said angrily: "Will I say where I can't go?" Of course, they can go up, and there is a huge river valley on it, there are Shengrong who live for a long time, they have high-quality good horses in their hands, there are edible yaks, there are expensive trona, and snow-white salt! ”
"What!"
Several old men jumped up with a whoosh, and their snow-white beards were messy, and they picked up Cao Shi's arm in three or two steps and said, "Cao family boy, what you just said is the truth?" ”
"What truth?"
"O salt! You say there's really salt on it? ”
"Yes! There really is, I dare to use the head guarantee on the item! There is a big saltwater lake on it, the salty sea as big as Yunmengze, and there are many naturally dry salty lakes, which have evolved into salt basins, as long as the salt is boiled and filtered with gauze, it is the best snow salt! ”
The old men are like a group of hungry lions, staring at the prey and swallowing saliva, Yunmengze has a radius of eight hundred miles, and the salty sea as big as Yunmengze flashed in his mind, falling on those so-called natural salt ponds, and the dried salt was taken to boil and filter is snow salt, and the cost of making salt must be as low as a finger!
A group of old men couldn't help but shudder, they felt like their heads were going to burst. The Han family has come step by step from the war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but now it is facing the dilemma of lack of materials and unable to keep up with the economic development, lack of copper coins, lack of steel, lack of salt, and lack of food. As long as it is a large transaction, there is a shortage of all kinds of trade goods.
Cao Shi worked hard to solve the crisis of lack of copper money and steel, and the century-old problem of lack of grain could not be solved for a while, but the emergence of iron farm tools, waterwheels, zigzag ploughs, and ox ploughing could all temporarily alleviate the grain shortage, and the real trouble was the lack of salt.
If you don't eat salt for a long time, the strong samurai will become weak and weak, and the diligent farmers will not be able to farm, and the ancestors were very aware of the need for salt to replenish the elements needed by the body. The salt boiling and drying methods are techniques that appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty, almost as old as the Chinese civilization.
The lack of salt is to affect the livelihood of the people. To put it mildly, it will affect the fate of the Han nation.
Since ancient times, selling salt has been more profitable than selling grain, and the Qi and Jin kingdoms, which rose with the benefits of salt and iron, became the hegemonic states.
As long as they are Han people, they can't help but care about the Yan Zhengzhan, just as everyone cares about the settlement of the next meal.
"Cao family boy, you promise again! Absolutely no amusement for our old men? ”
The old men's eyes were red. Under the pressure of crazy eyes. Cao Shi was stunned and said: "What I said is all the truth, there are countless snow salts on the mountain, enough for our Han family to eat even good salt that we can't eat for tens of thousands of years!" If I tell a lie, I will be sent to purgatory by the god Tai Yishen and will never live! ”
The noble disciples present were as if they had been immobilized, and their eyes were dull and silent.
"There is salt in the mountains! There is salt! There is an endless amount of salt! Liji's mood was agitated, his face was red, and his ears were red.
The sons and daughters of the noble people thundered with joy, and in their eyes it was no longer salt, but golden gold, yellow, orange and orange copper coins. and an inexhaustible source of wealth.
Gao Wanhou Bingwu, who retreated, roared: "The sons are still stunned, hurry up and go back to prepare the carriage and horses." Let's follow Pingyang Hou to dig salt in the mountains! ”
Dig out the salt!
"It's not that easy to dig for salt." Cao Shi smiled bitterly, and there was nothing he could do about the excited princes.
"It's not that simple to kill someone!"
Li Ji laughed loudly and said: "Cao family boy, you haven't seen how my father killed people in the first place, and if you have seen it, you can understand why we can dominate the world." ”
"Why does this world belong to our Chu people? With the courage and good fighting of the Chu people, you have to remember that our Chu people are the descendants of Emperor Zhuan and the tribe of King Chengtang, do you know? That's the Emperor of the Brilliant Heavenly God! White Emperor into soup! We are born with the blood of the gods, and we are born conquerors! ”
"Back then, our Chu people conquered Jingman and Baiyue, and now those barbarians tremble when they see our Chu people, how can we do it? Because our Chu people are more barbaric and more brutal than the barbarians! Defeated all the barbarians and was afraid, and when he saw the Chu people, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy and paid tribute in exchange for peace, this is the spirit of the Han family, just like the gang of the Sanjin Dynasty did! ”
The three Jin Dynasty, referring to the Zhao State, Wei State, and South Korea in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the three Jin Dynasty in one is the giant Jin State that dominates the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Jin people also killed and annexed half of the northern Xinjiang all the way, and even the barbaric Rong Di was oppressed, conquered and integrated into the system by the powerful Jin people, if it were not for the unprofitable northern grassland desert, the Jin people would have plowed the desert all over again.
Wang Buxian smiled and said: "It's natural to be a soldier to make money, let's go and make money from Shengrong, they will obediently cooperate if they know each other, it doesn't matter if they don't know each other, it's okay to subdue them and then cooperate obediently!" ”
Cao Shi had nothing to say.
Everyone wants to make money, and the meritorious princes are also people, they also want to make money, and no one can stop their impulse to make money, like the seedlings blown by the spring breeze are in a commotion.
In other eras, digging salt in Hehuang was definitely a huge project, but it was not an exaggerated difficulty in the Han Empire.
When they heard that a place was profitable, the Han people would rush to that place in droves, as if decades later they knew that Dawan had sweat and blood horses, and the hooligans and gangsters went to Dawan to get war horses under the banner of Han envoys, until they led a war.
Under the classical militaristic system of farming and warfare, war was an organized act of profit, and this justification did not need to be disguised. (To be continued!)
ps: Huaxia, the greatest conqueror of the East in ancient times, the Quartet tribes surrendered under the banner of the King of Great Xia, hence the name of Huaxia. The wind of antiquity was maintained until the Western Han Dynasty, and the essence of the cultivation and warfare system was still there at this moment, but it was a pity that it completely collapsed in the era of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. From then on, the Han people were no longer the greatest conquerors of the East, and they were forever forgotten.
