Chapter 237: What Does It Mean to Be Rich in the World?
Wu Shi Lu, that word is naked, a legend in ancient history.
In Sima Taishi's writings, there were only seven merchants before the Han Dynasty, such as the ancestor of the business world like Fan Li, and the big red-topped businessman like Bai Gui (the father of Bai Xue, the confidante of the TV series Shang Ying).
As an aside, Bai Gui in film and television works has been weakened by 10,000 times, and the first person in ancient history to propose "shopping malls are like battlefields" was this red-top businessman.
And among these people, the widow of the Wu clan, Qing Neng, occupies a place, and the status can be imagined.
What Jiang Bai didn't know was that Wu Shilu had not yet invested in the Qin State at this time.
It is true that the Wu clan is a giant merchant of the Qin State, but before Qin Shi Huang, the territory of Anding County was the territory of Xirong, and before the Beidi County was completely digested, it was impossible for the Wu clan to completely surrender to the Qin State and be used by Qin Shi Huang.
This is also the intention of Yingzheng to later seal the "king" of the Wu clan.
The same principle as treating Huaiqing, how can you get such a high political status and influence of the times without subverting the wealth of the world.
The reason why Zhao Ji was able to know Wu Shilu was that when she was bored, she went down the mountain and listened to a few words from passers-by.
She didn't remember anything else, but she remembered that Wu Shilu was a stunning beauty.
Jiang Bai thought for a moment, shook his head, and threw these to the back of his mind.
No matter who Wu Shilu is, it is enough that she is a big businessman.
Today, Xiangliang is divided into Anding County by Beidi County, which is the place under Liupan Mountain.
How could the Wu clan not be threatened by the Qin army.
And the great unification of Great Qin can't help but get the awe of the Wu clan.
"Immediately send someone to send a message to Xiang Liang, and ask him to pay special attention to the movements and choices of this Wushi Wealth Group." Jiang Bai commanded.
Help Susa to run by the legs.
At this time, someone happened to come to see Zhao Ji.
"Say Huaiqing, Huaiqing." Zhao Ji said with a smile.
Jiang Bai hurriedly got up and looked out, only to see an old woman who looked to be in her sixties, with a calm posture, standing at the gate of the campus with several young people waiting to be received.
Is she the widow Qing?
Zhao Ji said: "This is the master of Zheng'er who built Huaiqing Terrace, you also know that it is to win people's hearts, but this Huaiqing's skills are not low, she can contribute more than 100,000 catties of mercury to Daqin every year." ”
"Is it hard?" Jiang Bai smiled, "This thing is indeed very useful, but the emperor gave up the construction of the emperor's mausoleum, and there will be no place to use it, not to mention that if this is produced, I can find dozens of places to replace Ba County, and within a year, I can make her unable to keep that bit of wealth at all." ”
"I definitely believe in my man," Zhao Ji said with a smile, "However, Zheng'er has never left the help of others to rule the world, and we can't make people say that the emperor is mean and unkind, right?" ”
"I'm afraid she wants to go back, so let her go back, the words clearly told her that mercury is a mineral, there are a lot of things in nature, and when necessary, I have the means to find more, but it's just a hundred thousand catties, and the production volume can be reached in a few months." Jiang Bai said lightly, "As for the rest, don't tell her, people make their own choices, let them come by themselves." ”
Huaiqing hesitated.
She came here to ask Zhao Ji to say a few words and let the emperor let her go back to Ba County.
But she never expected that the princess who suppressed the whole world would let the queen mother clearly tell her that the emperor didn't take a fancy to her wealth.
How is it possible, that wealth is enough to support the Qin army to fight another war to destroy the country, how can the emperor give up such a large fortune.
"Whether the seniors believe it or not, my man knows him very well, he is not a villain who deceives people." Zhao Ji admonished, "The help of the predecessors to Zheng'er is recorded in the history books, and the emperor will repay you." If you think it is advantageous to go back, you can prepare to salute today, and the emperor himself will send you south early tomorrow morning. ”
Huaiqing is very old, she is fifty years older than Zhao Ji.
Today's Huaiqing is actually an old man in her nineties, but her martial arts are not weak, and she is extremely good at maintenance, so she looks like she is only fifty or sixty.
She has seen too many people and too many things in her life.
But today she hesitated.
That Taifu is said to have the ability to turn decay into magic, and if he really has accumulated tens of billions of wealth so quickly, it will be beneficial for her children and grandchildren to stay in Xianyang.
But what if this is a delaying tactic?
Huaiqing hesitated and decided to wait and see.
At this time, Fusu also came back, and Xi Zizi reported with a letter: "Queen Mother, Taifu, ah, Huaiqing's predecessors are here, Taifu, General Xiang has a letter, and besides, Wu Shilu is now in Xianyang, and he arrived the day before yesterday." ”
Jiang Bai walked out of the door, took the letter and looked at it, Xiang Liang reported in shock: "Long live Your Majesty: Minister Xiang Liang nodded his head." Since the establishment of Anding County, no one has rebelled, and the minister thought that Xirong was peaceful, but now he knows that it was the local Haoqiang Wu clan that suppressed the tribes. The contemporary head of the Wu family is a woman, but more than 30 years old, but she has experienced the wealth of the world, this woman is now in Xianyang, and the minister asks His Majesty to use it as a minister, at least the hundreds of thousands of war horses of the Wu family, and the immeasurable herd of cattle and sheep can be used by my Daqin. ”
Ying Zheng was shocked to mark a dozen exclamation marks on the letter that he had just learned, expressing his shock.
He can't believe it's true even now.
Less than a thousand miles northwest of Great Qin, there was actually a wealthy family with hundreds of thousands of military horses.
This is definitely not good news for Daqin.
Jiang Bai laughed and said to Fusu: "Go and tell the emperor, this is absolute good news!" ”
"Wait, wait a minute, husband, are you confused, this is someone else's wealth!" Zhao Ji hurriedly said.
"Madam silly, this is someone's wealth, of course we admit it, but the question is, with these goods, how long can the Wu clan eat? Under the guidance of new products, can their horses maintain their value? On the contrary, we have to circulate the goods of the world, especially industrial goods, which are the best things for these people to make a lot of money. Jiang Bai said with a smile, "Believe me, with their goods, I can provide them with more than twice the value of handmade products." ”
"Then it's going to be fine." Zhao Jixi said, "You can't rob it, we are used to robbing other people's wealth, and we will become barbarians." ”
"That's the truth," Jiang Bai said, "but have you forgotten that we already have enough things in our hands that are worthy of their coveting?" ”
"Fine salt?" Zhao Ji frowned.
"And glass!" Jiang Bai touched her cheek, "Stupid, these things are too wasteful in our hands, if you want to teach part of the market, you have to find a person with strength, vision and pattern, otherwise, you can only let those corrupt officials and corrupt officials fill their own pockets, and the people will not get much benefit!" ”
