There is no aggressive momentum, and there is no invincible shelf, Xu Rui, the Qincha, is like an ordinary young man from a family, peaceful and humble, but deeply hidden.

The scene at the reception banquet caused a huge sensation, and under the opening of money, his fame quickly spread throughout the Xichuan officialdom, and a young man in a high position, who knew almost everything, and was righteous and generous, became his new character.

Xu Rui stayed in Xinchang'an for three days, in addition to talking with Lu Linshan every day about the scriptures and discussing the general trend of the world, the officials who did not catch up with the reception banquet also came to visit one after another.

Xu Rui did not refuse, no matter how big or small the official position was, he would treat everyone equally, and when he left, he would give those officials a little novelty and small things, all of which were unheard of and unseen rare things, and they were priceless.

Especially Coke, people who have drunk it have all lingered, and many people have the cheekiness to ask this "talkative" Chincha-sama for some, and invite three or five friends to taste it together, showing off that they have a great relationship with the Chincha-sama.

Three days later, under the repeated retention of a group of officials, Xu Rui still insisted on taking the Apocalypse Guard to pull out, and the officials remembered that Xu Rui still had the emperor's order with him, but when he asked him what was going on this trip, he just smiled mysteriously and kept silent.

Now, no matter how stupid everyone is, they understand that Xu Rui is not simple, and such an attitude of wanting to refuse and welcome everyone is even more curious about the imperial order he shoulders.

And just when there was a lot of discussion in the officialdom, Xu Rui had already brought the Apocalypse Guard to the Gonghe Mansion.

Miyahefu is the gateway to the new Chang'an, called Gongheguan during the Han Dynasty, it is a strategic place connecting the new Chang'an and the whole of Xichuan, and it is also the largest wharf in Xichuan.

Tianqiwei did not enter the city directly, but set up camp on a small hill near the dock more than ten miles away from the palace, and built a large number of lookout posts in accordance with wartime regulations.

Everyone didn't understand what he meant, until the day after the Apocalypse Guard settled down, dozens of cargo ships arrived at the docks of Miyahe Mansion in the sky.

The Apocalypse immediately dispatched the whole army to block the dock, and then unloaded dozens of truckloads of goods covered with felt from it, and these goods were transported directly into the newly built camp without stopping for a moment on the dock, and disappeared from there.

The rest of the ships consisted of several caravans, and after unloading hundreds of strange caravans, they immediately entered the palace and took all the seven or eight inns that were left here.

In Xu Rui's carriage, King Liao's white-gloved Ye Shiyi looked at Xu Rui with a wry smile and said: "My Lord Xu, this journey is really not easy, I haven't followed the ship in person for almost ten years, and I almost fell apart, why do you have to come in person, the time is still in such a hurry?" ”

Xu Rui glanced at him and said lightly: "There is so much money to make, if you don't want to, then you can go back, anyway, there will be no fewer people rushing to come." ”

"Got money to make?"

As soon as he heard these three words, Ye Shi suddenly became interested: "Lord Xu has a new idea again?" ”

Xu Rui smiled: "The idea is naturally there, it depends on whether you are interested in doing it together." ”

Ye Shi's eyes rolled slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Lord Xu, only two-thirds of the goods you asked me to transport are produced by us, and the remaining dozens of cars are personally escorted by your Apocalypse Guard, and no one is allowed to approach, what is it that is so mysterious?" Isn't it just something that makes you rich? ”

Xu Rui glanced at him: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, it's a great achievement to transport things to you, the more you know, the more dangers there are." ”

What made Xu Rui so cautious was naturally the artillery and a large number of shells, after all, the main purpose of his visit this time was to test the saturation tolerance of the artillery.

For this reason, Xu Rui moved almost all of his family resources over, not only with spare barrels, but also with nearly 10,000 rounds of shells, which are highly secret, and it is slow and unsafe to take the land route, so he uses shipping and other goods to cover up.

"Understood, understood."

Ye Shi nodded knowingly and closed his mouth knowingly.

Xu Rui didn't say much, but started another sentence and asked, "From your businessman's eyes, what do you think of Xichuan?" ”

Ye Shi pondered for a moment and said: "Xichuan is a good place, if all countries are unified, this is the center of the whole world, naturally it is unspeakably expensive, now, it is the meeting place of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as well as the Three Kingdoms of Western Liang, although it is chaotic, but there are still many opportunities." ”

"Such a nice place, why don't you come here to do business?"

Xu Rui asked again.

Ye Shidao: "Where do you not want to, I have tried many times before, first, my dynasty and the Southern Dynasty are hostile, except for smuggling, there is no possibility of trade, go to Xiliang to sell horses, and it is expressly forbidden by the imperial court, and other things are really not profitable."

Second, this place is the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, and many remnants of the former dynasties have taken root here, and the power is very huge, and it is really difficult for outsiders to get a piece of the pie.

Don't tell you the truth, don't talk about the business field, even if it's officialdom, you can't get a needle in, and the water can't be splashed, His Royal Highness the King of Liao has wanted to get involved in Xichuan several times, but he has been pushed back by those wealthy families, and even his old man is at a loss. ”

Xu Rui nodded and asked, "If I say that I want to take root here and make a lot of money, do you believe it?" ”

Ye Shi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "If you change people, it will be regarded as a joke in the next lunch, but aren't you Lord Xu the one who makes the impossible possible?" If I don't have faith in you, why should I come all the way here? ”

"Slippery ......"

Xu Rui laughed evilly, unfolded a map, pointed to Xichuan and said: "Look, Xichuan is just like you said, it is the junction of the three kingdoms, extending in all directions, and there are dangers to defend, it is simply a treasure of feng shui. ”

Ye Shi nodded and said: "Of course, the profit is not small, but the two problems that Fang just mentioned are the obstacles, if they are not solved, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve." ”

Xu Rui smiled: "Do you know why the imperial court doesn't allow you to sell horses from Xiliang?" ”

"I don't know."

Ye Shi shook his head.

Xu Rui asked again: "What did you sell to Xiliang to exchange for other people's horses?" ”

Ye Shidao: "Xiliang is barren land, sparsely populated, and relatively poor in resources, of course, grain and coal and iron are the most valuable there. ”

Xu Rui nodded and said: "That's right, Xiliang is a subject country of the Southern Dynasty, and it is also a place for horses to be raised in the Southern Dynasty.

I'm different, spinning, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, paper, cola, wine, matches, lighters, jewelry, and mirrors, these are all manufactured products.

I sold these things to Xiliang, and then bought back important horses and other raw materials from Xiliang.

This will not only not solve the industrial shortcomings of Xiliang, but will even form a scissors difference between high-priced industrial manufactured products in exchange for low-priced raw materials and then sold to them at a high price.

Over time, they will not only become more and more impoverished, but also become more and more dependent on us due to the abnormal development of the industrial chain.

In addition, there are so many war horses produced by Xiliang every year, all of which are used to do business with us, and there are naturally fewer sold to the Southern Dynasty, which is equivalent to making money at the same time, but also weakening Xiliang and the Southern Dynasty, and the imperial court will not only not prohibit it, but even encourage it. ”

What Xu Rui is talking about is actually the basic means of Western powers to colonize the world after the Industrial Revolution.

Through technological and economic superiority, the colonists sucked blood from the colonized and fattened themselves, while making the colonies dependent on themselves and unable to get out.

"Can you do this?!"

What is the "industrial chain", what is the "poor scissors", Ye Shi was confused, but he understood the general meaning of Xu Rui, he never dreamed that one day doing business could be linked to national politics.

"Absolutely."

Xu Rui said with a smile: "As long as they can open the market, they will never want to run again, and when the time comes, a steady stream of money will flow into our pockets, and it is roughly estimated that there will be at least a few million taels of income a year." ”

"Lord Xu, you must not forget me if there is such a good thing, if you think my weight is not enough, I can ask the prince to send someone to talk to you directly, and you can mention any conditions."

After listening to Xu Rui's words, Ye Shi suddenly became excited.

Xu Rui smiled: "Don't worry, such a big cake, I naturally can't eat it alone, not only you, as long as people who are willing to cooperate have meat to eat, but if you come a day earlier, you will naturally have to eat more than others." ”

"So what do you need me to do now?"

Ye Shi couldn't wait to ask.

Xu Rui said: "My plan is to build a trade bridgehead in Xichuan, and the location is deliberately to avoid the new Chang'an, where the remnants are gathered, and choose the palace with great potential, just to firmly control this bridgehead in my own hands."

Then we will use this bridgehead as a trade center and transshipment base to sell our industrial manufactured products to Xiliang and even the Southern Dynasties.

There are two keys to this, first, we must take the lead, and even if other people want to participate, they must be collaborators, not leaders, and all the benefits must be distributed by us, and I will do this myself.

Second, Xiliang has not yet used the habit of using manufactured products, and it is very important to open up the market, and I have formulated a detailed marketing plan, and I have also made some articles in the officialdom in the past few days.

But I don't have that much energy, so this matter will be handed over to you, if necessary, you have to borrow the power of His Royal Highness the King of Liao, and all his forces in Xichuan must be involved.

When our products are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Xiliang and even the Southern Dynasties will become our product dumping bases, and when the time comes, they can be crushed to death by silver even if they are lying down. ”

"Okay, what do you say, I'll do it, and I'll write to the prince in a while."

Ye Shi agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Xu Rui nodded, and said: "As for the remnants you mentioned, I have learned that the remnants of Xichuan are headed by the four major families of Cui, Lu, Wang, and Zheng, all of whom are first-class families of the previous dynasty, and they have lasted for more than a thousand years, are deep-rooted, and have rich heritage.

They do have some troubles, but just like when they were in the capital, our industry has never had it before, and it does not conflict with their interests, and I am confident that it will be resolved.

What's more, I've been building momentum all the way, acting in such a big scene, and whetting their appetite, I believe they will soon come and take the initiative to contact me. ”

"Why did they reach out to you?"

Ye Shi asked puzzled.

Xu Rui smiled: "This is also the key, only if they are curious about me and take the initiative to contact me, everything will seem natural, it is they who beg me, not me who beg them, and when the time comes, I will tie them to this chariot of the Galaxy Group, and they will have more right to speak." ”

Ye Shi listened, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "In terms of calculation, I, a profiteer, am willing to bow down, Lord Xu, you really don't look like a scholar." ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "You are wrong, you only know how to calculate after reading books, knowledge is the primary productive force, and you should study more if you have time." ”

"Knowledge is the primary productive ......"

Ye Shiyi was stunned, and a hint of thought flashed on his face.
