Chapter 986: Confrontation

When it comes to business talents, the most outstanding among the girls is Wan Qiaoqiao, but in fact, it is also limited.

In the final analysis, Wan Qiaoqiao's family is nothing more than a teahouse, which is not a big business, and Wan Qiaoqiao does not need to come forward to contact him in many aspects.

There are not many business talents who are serious, that is, they are good at accounting and sensitive to numbers.

Although he is now also in charge of the commercial department of Tanzhou, he does not have much experience, and the focus is still on the research and development of various workshops, and Wan Qiaoqiao himself has a strong interest in this aspect.

She is in charge of Tanzhou's stalls, and she can manage the huge maritime trade, which is a bit enough.

Recognized as the richest woman in Chinese history named Ba widow Qing, Taishi company Ma Qian's "Historical Records of the Goods and Colonies" has a detailed record, this strange woman not only donated money to build the Great Wall, but also provided a large amount of mercury for the construction of the imperial mausoleum, which is regarded as the person who was listed in Qin Shi Huang, Qin Shi Huang commended his chastity festival, named her as a virgin, and built a female Huaiqing platform for her. Just kidding, people even have their own private armies! Treated as a guest of honor by the state!

It's a pity that Qin Shi Huang later forced a total of 120,000 families of the six countries to move to Xianyang, the national capital, and it didn't take long for the Ba widow Qing to die of illness. Otherwise, history is a bit of fun.

Ba widow Qing is a native of Ba County, and has private armies, suppose one stays in Ba County, and then Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, became the king of Han and entered Shuzhong, aha, do you say it will fight or be accepted by Liu Bang? Of course, the latter is unlikely, and Widow Qing must have been very old at that time.

Even, as soon as there was a problem in the Qin Dynasty, is it possible that Ba Widow Qing will be involved in some things?

Think about it, Liu Bang has the capital to become bigger, because he married Lu Pheasant and received strong funding from the Lu family, and at that time, Zhang Er, one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, also married a rich female widow and received strong funding. There are not only two of the same things, if the Ba widow Qing also values who will marry directly......

Rich! There is an army! Tut-tut......

Children's shoes, remember, if you go through the time, go and hook up with this girl first, why not? Hurry up, mark the key points, take notes, and take the test!

However, people are in the dansha business, and it is still a monopoly, so they can definitely have it, but if you really say how much business talent you have, it may not be. Moreover, they are from Ba County, and they have nothing to do with maritime trade, and during the Qin Dynasty, maritime trade was where it went.

If you really want to say that the businesswoman who is involved with the ship, it is still Yu Damiang who belongs to the Tang Dynasty calendar and Zhenyuan period (that is, between 766 and 805 AD, which is the era name of Tang Dynasty Zong and Li Yu and Tang Dezong Li Shi), this is known as the existence of the ship king.

History records: Yu Damiang's ship is the largest, and the residents are alive and send death to marry. Open the alley for the garden, hundreds of work. South to Jiangxi, north to Huainan, a year to go, what is its benefit......

What does this mean? In other words, the ship has become a movable village, and the phrase opening the alley is an exaggeration, which means planting fruits and vegetables directly on the ship.

Awesome my sister!

Standing on the coast and looking at the vast sea, Zhou Shaoyu really hated to invite this female boat king immediately, although people walked on the inland river, but other people's families were too strong, and they were good at business and good at management.

It is estimated that he must be a ruthless character, otherwise, how can he be convincing to be in charge of shipbuilding and shipping as a widowed woman?

The more I think about it, the more I feel appropriate, and my heart is very itchy, but it's a pity that the embroidery brocade is not strong, and it is difficult to contact the last time for a long time, and I can't designate a candidate, it's really tangled.

However, when Zhou Shaoyu was thinking about this, Gao Yuyao's eyes had already noticed the land of Nanyue.

Although they are different worlds, many places are related to Chinese history.

The entire Chinese civilization generally started in the Central Plains, and the territory of Xia Shang was not at all in many places in the south, even if the territory of the Zhou Dynasty could be included in it, in fact, it was the same thing, which can be seen from the territory of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there was no such thing in the south.

Even if the Qin and Han dynasties have occupied these places, the actual control is not strong, and they do not pay attention to it at all, even if the next few dynasties are basically the same, after all, the land of Lingnan is a place of exile, which shows that the development and attention to the south in ancient times was very low.

This is also normal, undeveloped state, the southern mountains terrain living environment is not so friendly to the ancients, not only the Lingnan region, the ancient exile has more places, in addition to the southern barbarian land in the south, and the bitter cold land in the northeast, it must be a backward place in ancient times, but let it be a future generation, well, needless to say, it's good.

The history of the world on the Liang side is basically the same, and other places are not mentioned for the time being, and the South Vietnamese region has never really been substantially occupied, and even if it is included in the territory, it is at best very loosely managed in other ways.

For example, in the Tusi system in Chinese history, one side of the Tusi has a high degree of autonomy and is a Tusi emperor at all, while in the history of the Great Liang world, the system used is looser than the Tusi, and it is basically close to the vassal state system, which is basically a nominal jurisdiction, and will not directly send officials for direct management.

In this regard, it is much worse than the previous dynasties in Chinese history.

However, with the change of time, the development and transfer of population, so that the population of South Vietnam began to increase, and more people also means development, although it is out of touch with the Central Plains, and the production technology in all aspects is relatively backward, but compared with the once wild land, now the South Vietnam region is still okay.

Officially based on this, it may be that the land of South Vietnam in the past is not worthy of sending troops to occupy and control, because the gains outweigh the losses, but now, the South Vietnamese region has the value of occupation.

More importantly, South Vietnam has a natural geographical advantage in terms of its coastal borders, many small maritime states, and increasingly prosperous maritime trade.

Gao Yuyao is very interested in money, with money can seek development, whether it is internal affairs or military affairs, the support of wealth is indispensable, otherwise Gao Yuyao would not have gone to great lengths to raid the homes of other ministers, of course, there are factors to exclude dissidents from controlling power, but to put it bluntly, who made them so rich, who would not slaughter them.

Do you really think that the reason why Gao Yuyao has been staying in Qingzhou Licheng is so simple? For now, Gao Yuyao thinks that there are too many benefits of staying in Licheng.

First, it is conducive to the control of political power.

For example, in all dynasties, the relocation of the capital is directly related to the overall situation, which means that the transfer of the center of political power has a very large impact. One of the most obvious examples is Ming Chengzu Zhu Di.

As everyone knows, Zhu Di was originally the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Yan, and was not originally the emperor, and the throne passed down by Zhu Yuanzhang was inherited by his eldest son and eldest grandson, that is, Zhu Yunwen, the son of the eldest son Zhu Biao.

Needless to say, in the Battle of Jingjing, Zhu Di became the emperor, which can be regarded as the rebellion of his nephew.

After that, Zhu Di began to plan to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing a long time ago, why? In-depth aside, the most obvious truth, Zhu Di's nest is in Beijing, the most controlling, the most secure, and the Nanjing area, the relationship is complicated, there are too many local forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it will definitely not be rebelled, but the checks and balances of imperial power are not small. The relocation of the capital in this matter is very beneficial to Zhu Di's assumption of power.

Of course, Gao Yuyao's stay in Licheng is not to move the capital, but there are also factors in this regard. Daliang has been established for too long, a dynasty for more than three hundred years, it is not easy, but it also means that the power in the capital area has been entrenched, don't look at Gao Yuyao's power, if these people really join forces to put pressure, Gao Yuyao will have to compromise.

It was Gao Yuyao who led the army outside, and by the way, he temporarily transferred his political rights with himself, and reused the officials from the poor family with the local people in Qingzhou, which was very beneficial to the control of the government.

Second, brush up on prestige.

Compared with the beginning, Gao Yuyao has already experienced the benefits of prestige, as the queen mother who listens to the government, she should be high, but at this time, she worked tirelessly, led the army to conquer in person, pacified Qingzhou in one fell swoop, and drove away the Turkic army that was ravaging Qingzhou, and anyone had to say a good word.

Third, make money!

This point should be combined with the first point, if Gao Yuyao is still in Jinling, then the control over the Qingzhou border thousands of miles away is very weak, even if the order is made to block trade, it will not have much effect at all, and it will also be strongly repelled by civilian forces. Just kidding, if there is no official behind this kind of trade with the Turks, Gao Yuyao is the first to disbelieve it!

But at this time, it is different, Gao Yuyao is staying in Licheng, very close to the border of Qingzhou, and not far to the north belongs to Jizhou. Minute by minute, I will ask you to blame. And stay away from Jinling, even if the interest groups staying in Jinling want to rebound, they have nowhere to go, at most a few euphemistic twists and turns, ignoring them, the pressure is greatly reduced.

In this way, Gao Yuyao directly monopolized trade with the Turks, and it was easy for him to make a lot of money to expand his own power.

Fourth, it's still about making money!

This money was not made by the Turks, but by sea, and the idea was very long-term.

Maritime trade existed not only in the south, but also in the north, and the most frequent exchanges were between Silla and Dongwa. And if Gao Yuyao wants to occupy an interest in it, he must have the strength to protect maritime trade, so the development of the navy is inevitable.

And since it is a trade in the north, can there be a better place to develop the navy than Qingzhou? Again, if you stay in Jinling, it is not conducive to control at all, and even if there is development, the same thing will take too much more time.

According to Gao Yuyao's idea, the development of the navy, the expansion of maritime trade, and the Silla and Dongwai trade to further earn money, but also to learn from the experience of maritime trade, and the main thing is to lay the foundation for the future southern maritime trade.

Compared with the south, the forces in the north are simple, and the northeast has not yet been developed, and the population is not only small, but also scattered, and there are no forces worth paying attention to, so there is no need to worry about chaos. However, Silla and Dongwa are quite stable at the moment, and they can develop trade more easily. It's a great place to set up a caravan to gain experience.

South Vietnam is indeed different, the forces are complicated, the population is gradually increasing, if the imperial court wants to send troops to clear the money, the cost is very high, and the terrain and water and soil alone have always been unsuitable, which increases the difficulty of the southern expedition.

Not to mention that piracy is rampant in the South China Sea, and if you want to conduct trade, how can you do it without enough sailors, and the newly built sailors will run to the South China Sea without thinking that the actual combat will be eaten by pirates.

It was to form a naval division and a maritime trade caravan before the north, and both of them increased their experience at the same time, which was absolutely beneficial for the future attack on the south.

Once everything goes well, when the time comes, she Gao Yuyao can also be regarded as an existence that will leave a name in history for Daliang to expand the territory.

Since you have been thinking about it so long-term, how can you not take action in other aspects?

At the same time that Zhou Shaoyu went to South Vietnam, a team of envoys from Daliang also entered South Vietnam.

Winning over and dividing has always been the most common method in ancient dynasties, and Gao Yuyao also fought this idea.

There are many forces in the South Vietnamese region, and if a team of several thousand people occupies a city, they dare to claim the title of king. And the arrival of this team of envoys, there is only one task, promising benefits, can be co-opted, and there is no need to even express a direct stance on the surface, as long as you secretly surrender to sincerity, with a good foundation, then if you want to march south, you will have the assistance of the locals and the bridgehead of front-line supply.

And those who can't be co-opted will secretly find a way to divide and provoke disputes, so as to further weaken the local forces before Gao Yuyao prepares for the southern expedition.

As the orthodox superpower of the Central Plains, the Great Liang Dynasty has a natural advantage in this regard, and it can make people willing to take refuge in secret without even paying any substantial price, such as ......

can let his daughter enter the palace as a concubine.

Ancient times are ancient times after all, and the weight of the word emperor is difficult for later generations to fully understand just by imagination. Having an imperial concubine in the family is still for this kind of undignified king from the South Vietnam region, it means honoring the ancestors, it means being recognized, and it means that there is the possibility of entering the Central Plains and ascending to a higher position of power.

As for the emperor is still young, will his daughter be wronged after entering the palace, is that important?

It was when Zhou Shaoyu inspected the situation in Jiangkou for the last time before his departure to learn more about and formulate a development strategy. Zhou Shaoyu didn't know that another rivalry between him and Gao Yuyao had already begun in the South Vietnam region, and this time, Gao Yuyao already had an excellent hand.

"The academy still has to be run, knowledge is very important, and the more people who understand knowledge, the faster it will develop." Zhou Shaoyu emphasized this point. "In this way, when I return to Tanzhou, I will try my best to form a teaching team, maybe younger, but I can not only teach, but also properly handle government affairs, and at the same time they can increase their own experience and educate a talent that belongs to the future."

Before leaving, Zhou Shaoyu emphasized the matter of the academy again, this time Zhao Xianxian did not leave, with her, there was a suitable candidate for the initial establishment of the academy, how to say that he was also in charge of all the gossip in Tanzhou and Chenghuizhou, which is still a problem.

It's just that if she stays, the director of Tanzhou will have to choose someone else, and she hasn't figured out who is more suitable.
