The huge profits of Anzhou soju, how much did Meng Qi make in the Meng family's firm? Everyone actually understands it very well in their hearts, but there is really no way, some people spend a lot of money to dig the corner of the master of the wine shop in Anzhou, but the Anzhou side is very close, the wine shop is only set up near the city of Anzhou and the Xuanhuo military camp, it is not that the master of wine has not moved, but he died suddenly before leaving the boundary of the city of Anzhou, and he did not even come back to dig the corner, so everyone did not dare to stretch out his hand again.

Good things are in the eyes of money, but there is no way to reach for them. It doesn't get much more painful than that.

The merchants privately discussed that they should take a little of this fat meat anyway. There was no other way than to ask to see Yang Tianhong, Duke of Yiyong.

......

A group of merchants sat in the reception hall of the Jiedu Embassy, filling the spacious room.

Since ancient times, the route from the Chu State to Rongdi in the north is nothing more than Lizhou and Youzhou. Of course, you can go somewhere else. But after all, it is not an official road, not to mention the rugged road, and safety along the way cannot be guaranteed. Some might say that walking small can save you from all kinds of taxes along the way. But how can people who can do business on the official road care about these small amounts of money?

Yang Tianhong was wearing a set of moon-white silk robes, and sat on the main seat with a leisurely expression. He wore a crown of purple gold on his head, and his hair fell down his shoulders. The whole person looks very handsome, full of the momentum of the superior who is not angry and arrogant.

He was a duke after all.

There were more than 300 businessmen in the hall. Among them, there are local wealthy merchants in Chu State, and there are also merchants from other countries. Looking at it, these people are wearing extremely luxurious clothes, and they are obviously rich businessmen who can spend money and have enough strength to control one market.

Chairs were set up in the hall in advance. The scene was a bit like the head of a unit in another world holding a staff meeting. The only thing missing is probably just a microphone.

Yang Tianhong looked around, a faint smile appeared on his face, raised his right hand, made a slight reassuring movement, and said, "Everyone." Please be seated!"

A group of businessmen said polite words on the scene and sat down. When the noisy voices in the hall gradually subsided, Yang Tianhong said with a smile: "There are some things that have delayed the time, you have been waiting here in Lizhou for a long time, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

An obese businessman hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed to Yang Tianhong, and said, "It is a matter of course that Grandpa is busy with government affairs. It is already a great honor and grace for Grandpa to come and talk to us, how can it be said to be forgiven?"

Everyone can say what they say on the scene. Just talk about the timing before and after. Speaking of which, this fat man can be regarded as a flexible brain and quick movements. Many of the businessmen present thought of this, but no one had the reaction speed of the fat man. It would be redundant if a second person stood up and said the same thing. Seeing the bigger and thicker smile on Yang Tianhong's face, the businessmen suddenly hated the fat man: Mao didn't Lao Tzu stand up first to grab the first prize, but he was benefited by this guy?

Yang Tianhong pressed his hand and motioned for the fat merchant to sit down. He didn't directly mention the transaction of Qingling Jade Liquid, but asked, "You guys have been in Lizhou for a long time. The customs here are different from other places. Since the princess came to power, she has also increased her armaments and strictly guarded against Rongdi in the north. Presumably, you should have seen the proofreading of my Xuanhuo Army. How do you think, do you think that the newly formed Lizhou Army in the Xuanhuo Army can keep Lizhou safe?"

This seems to be a bit redundant. But to the ears of the merchants. But it seemed to have another meaning, and he hurriedly stood up straight in a panic, and replied in a loud voice: "Grandpa's training is quite like the style of ancient famous generals, and this Lizhou army has become extremely strong under the management of Grandpa, and it will definitely be able to keep one side safe." ”

"After so many years, I have been going south and north. I have walked a lot of places, and I have seen the armies of various countries, and there is really no one who can be as elite as the Lizhou army. ”

"Even if it's the Qin State's side, I'm afraid the military strength is not as good as the grandfather. ”

"Don't say it's Lizhou, such a strong army, even the north of Chu is enough to take care of it. Speaking of which, the armaments in Youzhou are lax, where can it be compared to the grandfather's vigorous troops and horses in Lizhou and the rectification of the system. Grandpa is the most shrewd nobleman in the world!"

It's not too much to please, and when he didn't catch up with the previous time, now the opportunity in front of him, but no one wants to let go, and they are all climbing up the pole, lest they talk less, which makes Yang Tianhong unhappy.

But then again, the merchants didn't think they were exaggerating. Lizhou is a transit hub to the northern grasslands, and it is not the first time that everyone has come to Lizhou. The 300,000 Lizhou army, to put it mildly, is simply the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the ruffians and hooligans. But when I came to Lizhou this time, I never saw a beggar or a gangster on the street. After careful inquiry, I learned that after Yang Tianhong became the ruler of Lizhou, he comprehensively rectified military affairs, and all the beggars and exiles were arrested by the government and sent to Fuzhou. It is said that all of them were shipped to Anju from that side.

There are fields in Anju, and the only thing that is lacking is population. Beggars and gangsters are also human beings, and as long as they are transported and trained with sticks and whips, they are also good people who farm.

In the past, it was not that no one had thought of this method, but there was really no possibility of implementing it. After all, not everyone is as strong as Yang Tianhong, and not everyone is unreasonable like him. With an army in hand, I am the only one, and I can really do something, and it's a big thing.

As for the drills and proofreading of the Lizhou Army, it is difficult not to watch it. At present, the 150,000 newly organized Lizhou troops have to drill every day, and every day there are sergeants lined up in a neat line, walking through the streets and alleys in the capital of Lizhou, shouting the earth-shattering trumpet in their mouths, and walking neatly under their feet. According to the person in charge, this is called a drill, and each person has to run a 10-kilometer distance within the specified time every day. If you don't meet the standard, you will be punished with additional training, and at worst, you will have to eat a whip or a military stick.

Every time they looked at the neat queue and pace of the Lizhou army, the merchants only felt that these soldiers passing in front of them were so terrifying, and their eyes were indifferent, as if they looked at anything without the slightest emotion. Even if I am accidentally seen, I feel chills all over my body.

This should be the so-called "murderous spirit". It's as if you're just a little careless. It will be torn to pieces by the wolf-like soldiers. A few well-informed businessmen even think of the tsunami on the beach. The kind of tide rolling in, churning up a wall of water hundreds of meters high, is certainly spectacular, but it is also full of shocking horror and murder, which makes people tremble. Because everybody knows that. Once you are swept up in this tide, you will definitely be crushed to pieces, and there will be no hair left.

According to rumors, it is said that Yang Tianhong, the Duke of Yiyong, killed people without blinking, and killed 100,000 Yue barbarians in a battle in southern Xinjiang, staining the entire mountain with blood red. From this point of view, the rumors must be true, and there is not the slightest adulteration in them. Not to mention the new Lizhou Army for the time being, just the Xuanhuo Army in Anzhou. With such a strong strength, not to mention resisting Rong Di, even if it sweeps the world, it is not impossible.

Good obedience has been said almost. Yang Tianhong nodded with a smile, raised his hand, and made a gesture of please. The businessmen really felt as if they had been amnestied, and hurriedly sat down, only to feel inexplicably a little tired. The back was already dripping with cold sweat.

The strength of the Lizhou army can be seen from this. Just thinking about it makes people feel horrible. Present. The businessmen also put away their careful thoughts and listened intently to Yang Tianhong's words.

"As the saying goes: no agriculture is unstable, no business is not rich. My father-in-law also said it straight to the point. Everyone wants the right to sell the Qingling jade liquid, and they all want to get the goods from Anzhou. The rules were set by the father in the early years. Qingling jade liquid was also handed over to the Meng family firm for franchise. Bengong has always been a man of words, since he promised the Meng family. Naturally, it is impossible to break a promise. However, for everyone's sake, this clear spirit jade liquid should also be beneficial for everyone to share. ”

As he spoke, Yang Tianhong raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Meng Qi walked out quickly from behind the curtain next to him, bowed down and stood beside Yang Tianhong, calmly waiting for orders.

"Today, the head of the Meng family is here. Bengong also changed the previous rules. ”

Yang Tianhong looked around, his gaze swept over the faces of the merchants who were full of urgency and expectation, and said in a majestic and loud voice: "First, if you buy Qingling jade liquid in Anzhou, you can use the brand issued by the Jiedu Embassy to reduce the cost by one percent. Second, if you get the goods in Lizhou, you must trade through the Meng family firm. Of course, the price is also down by 10%. However, it is the price of Lizhou. ”

It is a long way from Anzhou to Lizhou, and there will definitely be some losses. Comparing the two sides, of course, the price of buying Qingling jade liquid in Lizhou is much higher. But the benefits are clear. Picking up the goods in Lizhou also avoids all kinds of losses on the road. After calculating on both sides, it is obviously better to trade on the Lizhou side. What's more, Yang Tianhong's concession is also real. The price reduction is a full 10%, which is enough for the merchants to make more money in the northern grasslands.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the faces of the merchants were full of excitement. They are all gearing up, calculating how much benefit they can get from it.

The fat businessman who spoke first before obviously belonged to the more lively-minded person. He thought about it, got up from the chair, bowed to Yang Tianhong, and said seriously: "There is never a benefit of eating for nothing in this world. I dare to ask my grandfather, if I trade Qingling jade liquid here in Lizhou, and I get it cheaply according to the low price that my grandfather said, what restrictions do I have?"

"Good question!"

Yang Tianhong showed a smile on his face and said bluntly: "There is indeed no free lunch in this world. However, my father's intention is not entirely to receive benefits from you. Open the skylight and say something bright! Everyone came to Lizhou just to sell goods to the north, and with the benefits of Qingling jade liquid, you can make a profit from it. Presumably, none of you will be willing to go to Anzhou to get the goods, and you are all willing to trade in Lizhou. Actually, think about it too. You carry goods from south to north, and you have to send people to escort them everywhere, and you need carriages and horses to travel between them. Along the way, there needs to be a black-and-white relationship between the government and the rivers and lakes, and the income must be shared with the local officials Haoqiang. But even if this is the case, it may not be able to keep the peace. The business road is difficult, and I don't know how many people have died on it. You say, 'Is that true?'

What he said was very true, and it immediately aroused the deepest feelings in the hearts of the businessmen.

"Grandpa is right! This southern goods to the north seems to be very profitable, but it also has to be taken care of. Otherwise, you will turn your face and deny people, rob your goods, and don't even cry when the time comes. It's hard along the way. It's just a loss of teeth and swallowing it with blood. The pole on the rivers and lakes says that it is righteous and thin, but in fact, it also recognizes money and does not recognize people. Even if the relationship is good in normal times, it still costs money. In fact, all in all, this kind of commercial goods is more profitable than the official face, and it is even more frightening. ”

When one person complains, the others chimed in. Talking about the pain of the toil. There were even people in tears.

Yang Tianhong sat on the chair and took in everyone's expressions. He smiled and nodded, and said again: "Your hard work in going from south to north is very clear to my father. Whether you sell or buy goods, it is the same trouble, you are not familiar with the place, it is difficult to buy and sell, maybe you don't make any money, and you will be swallowed by the strongman. The same is nowhere to go. Even if they report to the government, often no one agrees, let alone cares. ”

The rules and laws of this world are far inferior to those of the other. There are robbers in almost every place, and there are many things about officers and soldiers eating black. In fact, strictly calculated, long-distance trafficking of goods is indeed lucrative, but it is necessary to hire warriors to protect along the way, to deal with the government every place you go, and to worship the mountains along the way...... Lin Lin finally came down. These expenses already account for a large part of the profits. If you want to make your business bigger and stronger, you can only find a way from the back office and business scale. Because of this. Throughout the ages, people who can be called giant businessmen have a good relationship in black and white.

The problem is that there are really not many people like this.

Yang Tianhong stared at everyone with blazing eyes, and said loudly: "Since you are risky to traffic Qingling jade liquid over long distances. Selling and buying are as risky as buying in, so it's better to choose a suitable place to trade, and it will be convenient for each of them. ”

Hearing this, the merchants became attentive. Everyone had vaguely guessed Yang Tianhong's intentions.

It was the fat man who spoke before who stood up and asked hesitantly, "What does grandpa mean?" If we trade Qingling Jade Liquid here in Lizhou, we have to do what Grandpa wants?"

Yang Tianhong continued to laugh and said, "This side of Lizhou is the hub throat leading to the northern grassland. On the other hand, on the other hand, it is also the junction between the rest of the Chu State and the Qi State. In addition to land routes, waterways are also very convenient. Next to it is the Yellow River. When my father came back this time, he was going to set up a special market in Lizhou for you to trade goods with merchants from other places. In addition to Qingling jade liquid, other goods in Anzhou are also traded in Lizhou. If you want to send goods from all over the world here, as long as you enter the boundary of Lizhou, you don't have to worry about any risks at all, and the cost of transporting goods will not be much. This duke puts his words here -- the strength of the Lizhou army is obvious to all. Even if Rongdi from the north comes over, my father will not give up an inch of land. Whether it is black and white, or a strongman in the government, this father has always had this attitude. The same is true for anyone. Leaving from Lizhou is far faster than Youzhou, and the distance is shorter. After taking the goods out, the Lizhou Army can also ensure that you are safe and sound on the ground thirty miles outside the border pass, and you don't have to worry about any risks. ”

In the face of Yang Tianhong's eloquent conversation, the businessmen exchanged glances with each other, and those who were close to each other also whispered a few words.

That's a good thing indeed. Just think about it and you can see the benefits. Businessmen have always been the most shrewd group in the world, and Yang Tianhong said this, which is tantamount to throwing a huge cake out of thin air. If he can really do what he says, the profits he will make in the future will definitely be far greater than what he has now.

Yang Tianhong saw everything in his eyes, smiled, and accentuated his tone: "In addition, the safety of everyone in Lizhou and Anzhou is the responsibility of the Xuanhuo Army. As long as it is a caravan whose name has been registered with the embassy of the two places, all safety can be guaranteed. You should understand that this father is not a man of falsehood. During this time, you have seen the daily drills of the Lizhou Army. With such a contingent, what kind of thieves and bandits would dare to come in? Rong Di in the north resolutely did not dare to go south. Even in the city, as long as you honestly abide by the rules, my father can ensure that he will make a lot of money and will definitely not lose money. ”

The three words "Yang Tianhong" are still very trustworthy. At least, this young Duke of Chu has a lot of weight in the court, and he has never had a bad record of fraud and coaxing.

There was a low discussion in the hall for a while, but someone hesitated and asked: "If you really do what Grandpa said and form a market here in Lizhou, then ...... How much does Grandpa want to earn?"

Being able to open a market in a place like Lizhou for everyone to trade here sounds like it's convenient for everyone. In fact, it is also true. As long as the buyer and seller trade in the bazaar, Yang Tianhong, who opened the bazaar, is equivalent to being a guarantor in the middle. However, the word "guarantee" is simple to say, but it is difficult to actually do. If you don't have enough power in your hands, it's not fair at all. However, during the period of waiting for Yang Tianhong's return in Lizhou, after watching the daily drills of the newly compiled Lizhou Army just now, everyone felt that Yang Tianhong, the guarantor, could indeed be safe. At least, the situation on Lizhou's side is definitely much more stable than imagined. (To be continued.) )
