Xie Liu Lane, Jinling Mansion, Nanjing, here is the new mansion that Xue Bingchang bought, Xue Bingchang lives here, since Gaozong's abdication, Xue Bingchang was relieved of the authority of the Pedestrian Division by Xiao Ming, and has always let him serve as the president of the Great Song Overseas Chamber of Commerce, which is an inconspicuous and important position, and only Xue Bingchang can play its role. 【 High Quality Update 】
In the past few years, the tentacles of the overseas chamber of commerce have extended to all the places where the overseas influence of the Great Song Dynasty has been extended, especially in the green clothes and food of the Fatimid Dynasty in North Africa, and there are many Great Song Dynasty firms led by overseas chambers of commerce, and as for other places, the dues that Xue Bingchang can collect from the merchants in various places are also increasing year by year.
So he is not making less money than before, and even has a lot of other gray income, which Xue Bingchang still has to thank Xiao Ming, in the bribery of the internal government, there are many times when the spearhead will be pointed at Xue Bingchang, but because of Xiao Ming's relationship, every time he will be fine, he also knows that Xiao Ming has spoken.
Although he retreated from the whirlpool of political power in the Gojong era, he still controlled his philistine guild because the entire Pedestrian Division itself was built on his own gang organization, and he spread this method of doing things to the people, and he was even more skilled in collecting all kinds of business information.
In view of this, his return on investment in some business hotspots is very high, although the pedestrian division is temporarily dissolved, but the shelf still exists, and the palace front division that is applied according to military operations is still retained, the difference is that the original eunuchs and eunuchs have been replaced by professionals, which is a button left by Xiao Ming's secret.
And the button is in the hands of Xue Bingchang, no one knows this, Xue Bingchang was basically a big spy leader when he was in the Gaozong Dynasty, he was loyal to Gaozong in general, but he was more loyal to interests, which is why he unconditionally supported Xiao Ming, but his identity made many people stay away from him, after all, no one would like a spy leader.
It is not a very pleasant thing to regularly spy on other people's ** and privacy, Xue Bingchang has no friends, if you want Xiao Ming, you should be counted as one, but he does not rely on Xiao Ming's power, this is his low-key and smart point, and some key relationships are to be used at critical moments.
When the court official came to inform Xue Bingchang that he needed to be summoned to the court, Xue Bingchang thought at first that he was mistaken, he didn't want to be an official anymore, not that he didn't want to, but felt that it was dangerous to be an official.
But when he heard that this matter was an order given by Xiao Ming, he had to hurry up to change his clothes, for Xiao Ming, Xue Bingchang was very afraid in his bones, because he couldn't figure out Xiao Ming, and it was because he couldn't figure it out that he was afraid, and the way to turn this fear into his own favor was to remain friendly and obedient.
The appointment of Xue Bingchang was directly issued through the cabinet of the Great Song Dynasty, and Xue Bingchang was appointed as the special envoy of the Great Song Dynasty New South Prefecture Development and Investment Promotion Bureau, and the new South Prefecture system envoy! Special Envoy of the Overseas Trade Bureau! This overseas trade bureau is not in conflict with the domestic state, but for the new southern state, because the cabinet means to establish an exclusive colony of the new Anzhou!
"Development of China Merchants? What is this for? Xue Bingchang was very puzzled.
Xiao Ming did not give him a detailed explanation, but gave him a large number of written materials and files, all of which were materials on the declaration of newly discovered islands and development over the years.
Xue Bingchang found a few rules from it, that is, all the overseas islands have the most, not Richanglong business, but a large consortium named Desheng business, under the arrangement of large and small island owners, Richanglong can only rank third, the first place is Desheng business, and what is even more strange is that the second-ranked Wansheng Tongda business name and this Desheng business name also seem to be inextricably linked.
Who is Xue Bingchang, a collector of business intelligence, of course he knows that behind the Desheng firm is Zhao Deshen, the king of Ding, and the owner of Wansheng Tongda is Zhao Deshen's son-in-law, which shows that most of the overseas islands of the Song Dynasty are concentrated in the hands of Zhao Deshen, the king of Ding.
And what is the purpose of the development and investment of New South State? Xue Bingchang's seven exquisite people immediately understood Xiao Ming's intentions, the cost of the development of the entire Xinnanzhou was to be half of the cost of the prince, and the imperial court and Richanglong would not take the big deal in this regard, and letting Zhao Deshen take the big part was the reason why he was pulled out of the mountain again.
Seeing this, Xue Bingchang smiled, this is a big cake! It seems that Xiao Ming still hasn't forgotten himself, and the role of the middleman he is good at is still very useful, and I really have to thank Xiao Ming again for his promotion!
Xue Bingchang went to meet the Taishi Xiao Ming, and he raised the information in his hand to Xiao Ming, "I already know the meaning of the Taishi!" Is there anything else you need to explain? ”
Xiao Ming stepped back left and right, looked at Xue Bingchang and said, "Brother Xue is still so wise!" You have to do this thing sleekly, the purpose of sleek is to deal with all the interests here, I can give up part of the interests of the day, let the king get a part of the benefits, but the two sides must be harmonious, this matter is too huge, the required funds are more than one trillion, in order to cooperate with your work, I will consider the issuance of new Nanzhou investment bonds in the next step! ”
"In this way, I will have no doubts and worries!" Xue Bingchang said.
"Hmm!" Xiao Ming nodded and said, "Brother Xue!" Your time has come, work harder! ”
"Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
This matter basically came to an end, and then Xue Bingchang played freely, this person had a lot of secrets of various powerful people at that time, and a large number of first-hand trade secrets, Xiao Ming didn't know how much he knew about Richanglong, but it was estimated that it would not be less, for the development of the entire Xinnanzhou, it was led by China Merchants Bureau and looked for partners.
As for the side of Zhao Deshen, the prince of Ding, Xiao Ming estimated that he would not think of such a big cake, Ri Changlong would give him a large piece, which also made the resentment in his heart dissipate, so as not to engage in some actions against Ri Changlong behind his back in the future, what is wrong with being able to turn enemies into friends?
Xue Bingchang naturally did not disappoint Xiao Ming, his skills were very superb, and he persuaded Dingwang Zhao Deshen to participate in the development of China Merchants Bureau's plan for the development of Xinnanzhou, and had Desheng and Richanglong firms. and the participation of Wansheng Tongda, which suddenly made the development of Xinnanzhou a fragrant bait, which triggered the participation of a large number of powerful investors, and the work of China Merchants Bureau was prosperous.
Time into September, the Great Song Dynasty has another great event, the steel bridge through the Yangtze River is closed and through, which is undoubtedly an exciting event for the current Song Dynasty! The bridge adopts the double-deck bridge designed by Xiao Ming, the upper and lower two floors are sports cars and horses, and the lower layer is the railway, which is pulled by steel cables, and there are 16 bridge piers!
The bridge costs more than 100,000 tons of steel, and there are not many other building materials used, and some loopholes that are easy to appear in the post-modern bridge-building industry are also avoided, and the overall bridge body is silver-gray, like a silver dragon on the Yangtze River! From a distance, it is magnificent, and this has become a scenery that the people of the capital are very proud of.
The completion of this bridge is of great significance, it is not only the embodiment of the current comprehensive scientific and technological strength of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the embodiment of financial resources, but also the embodiment of the wisdom of ordinary working people, which greatly encourages the national self-confidence of the people of the whole country, which is a result that Xiao Ming has worked hard for many years to achieve.
After the national self-confidence goes up, creativity can be reflected, there are many practical things in the construction of the bridge have been invented, and some merchants have lost no time in buying out all these inventions, which shows that the economic acumen and excellent vision of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are now staggered.
After the bridge was officially completed, Emperor Zhao Hao connected Xiao Ming and led the entire civil and military officials to be present! It's a great time! It is a major event worth celebrating, the whole ceremony is solemn, the emperor personally led a hundred officials to sacrifice heaven and earth, cut the red silk blocking the road in the capital, indicating that the bridge was officially opened to traffic.
Immediately, a train belched steam and white smoke from across the bridge! In the loud cheers of the onlookers, eighteen salutes rang out, a large number of colored paper flew all over the sky, and suddenly the gongs and drums fluttered in the sky, and the bouquets in the air continued to sprinkle, which was dozens of large hot air balloons rising into the air to cheer up the ceremony!
The upper bridge deck can run six carriages in both directions, which is very spacious, and the emperor Zhao Hao wants to take a car from the bridge to show his congratulations on the breakthrough of the bridge! When Dao Zhao Hao appeared, everyone was surprised to find that he was riding in a very peculiar vehicle, which was the latest diesel-powered car.
This is Zhao Hao's master Ding Jianpeng specially gave Zhao Hao a gift, this car is very similar to the early nineteenth century cars of the later generations, the engine is front, the body is spacious, Zhao Hao can stand in the carriage and wave to the people around, in front of the car is a team of 200 people of the Royal Guard's horse team armor bright red tweed suit, mighty and majestic!
The back of the car was also escorted by a team of 200 horses, these guards were wearing festive dresses, their clothes and weapons were very bright, and the person who arranged all this was Xiao Ming, how could he give up such an opportunity to put on a show! After this celebration, he also wanted to issue the second war bond and the first New South State development bond immediately!
Now Xiao Ming is sitting in the driver's seat of the emperor's special car, listening to the exclamations of the people around him, and expressing curiosity about the emperor's new car, while Zhao Hao is very proud to wave his hand and bow his head to talk to Xiao Ming about this new vehicle, this kind of car does not have the bloated and huge of steam-powered cars, it is both light and beautiful, no wonder he loves it so much!
"Master! The cost of this bridge is not small, and it was also used to raise money in the first place, right? How can I pay for myself? Zhao Hao asked in a low voice.
"Haha!" Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too worried, we have set up bridge toll offices on both sides of this bridge, and every passing train will be charged, as well as advertising revenue and sightseeing income, in terms of traffic, the cost can be recovered in less than a year, and the future will be all profitable!" ”
"Ahh Zhao Hao exclaimed: "This method is good, the Taishi is really a last resort!" ”
Xiao Ming smiled and didn't answer, this method was not invented by him, it was just borrowed, and there are many ways to make money for future generations! But then Zhao Hao's brows were not raised, and he asked Xiao Ming softly again: "Taishi! In a few days, Meiyu has been in the capital for two months, how should I get married? ”
Xiao Ming secretly screamed in his heart! During this time, he was too busy, and the matter of wanting to go to the harem to meet the Queen Mother was repeatedly delayed, and now Zhao Hao asked, he really didn't know how to answer, he muttered for a while: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already said hello to the Queen Mother, but this matter is too resistant, you still need to let me for a few days!" ”
