Chapter 587: It's called Business
Everyone looked at each other a little, and you came up and threatened people, and you told us that you were here to make money? This...... What kind of unfolding is it?
However, His Royal Highness King Qin said this, and they were very interested, because everyone knew that His Royal Highness King Qin likes to make money! A Datang city that never sleeps has sold more than 30 million guan! Three treasury! What is this concept?! Among them, there are also people who have bought the store in Datang Sleepless City.
"Your Highness doesn't know that this business refers to doing business with the Western Regions?" Among the few people, some of them had their heads turning relatively quickly, and they immediately guessed the business in Li Ke's mouth, after all, Guangzhou is a treaty port, and almost all the merchants here come because of this, so it is reasonable for them to guess so.
"Yes and no, to be precise, I am going to do business with Lin Yi and Real Wax first." Li Ke said lightly.
"Doing business with them? True Wax and Lin Yi are very poor, they don't have much money, and we are so close to True Wax and Lin Yi that we don't seem to have any business to do. During the seat, Dang Renhong said, he is some of the most eager, mainly because he is poor! Although he is now the governor of Guangzhou, he is indeed poor, has little money, and has just taken office.
His Royal Highness said that if he can make money in business, then he will have the opportunity to participate, so of course he is in a hurry.
Li Ke glanced at Dang Renhong, this person was found to be corrupt about a few years later, and it could be seen that he was indeed short of money, and now that he had just moved to the governor of Guangzhou, it was definitely not too late for corruption, but he was sure that he was short of money.
"Yes, Your Highness, True Wax and Lin Yi are very poor." The others also nodded with some confusion.
"You all think so?" Li Ke asked with a helpless sigh.
Everyone looks at each other, poor is poor, can't there be other arguments?
"Let me tell you a story." Li Ke sighed, and then continued: "There is a merchant, he is in the shoe business, one day he went to an island, and found that the people on this island are not used to wearing shoes, so this person sighed and said that there is no business here, and then he left here to find the next place to sell shoes. ”
Soon a second merchant who sold shoes came here, and when the merchant saw that no one on the island was wearing shoes, the merchant said with a smile on his face, "Ah, there is such a big market here, and it is all business, and everyone can be a customer."
"Do you understand?"
Li Ke looked at them and said, this is ...... How could it not be understood? What Li Ke said was already so straightforward, that is, they thought that Zhenwax and Lin Yi were poor, but His Royal Highness thought that there was a big business here.
"This, Your Highness, we don't quite understand." Everyone is still a little suspicious, poverty is the essence, what does this have to do with whether there is a business, and how to get a business without money?
"Hey, they have wealth on these lands, such as grain, real wax, Linyi, where rice can be harvested twice a year, or even three times, right?" Li Ke said helplessly, "Our Datang is short of food, and we won't lose money when we buy food." ”
"But Your Highness, although they can achieve two crops a year or even three crops a year in these places, the population in these places is not large, and they have even fewer fields to grow, and they can't get much food." As locals, they are very knowledgeable about these natures.
"I'll talk about this matter, their local people don't have enough land, so let them open up the wasteland, and they don't plant enough land, so let them diversify, these are all good things." Li Ke smiled and shook his head, "Anyway, I'll come over so that you can make money." ”
"There's one more thing I have to tell you besides that." Li Ke looked at everyone before he spoke: "Tan Guogong, I have a few questions for you. ”
"Your Highness, please speak." The old Qiu He, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Tan Guogong of the Tang Dynasty, is already eighty years old this year, and he is also sitting here at this time.
"If Datang wants to take down True Wax and Linyi, how many soldiers will it need?" Li Ke did not hide his purpose, but asked directly very simply.
At this time, there is no need to worry that there are collusion among these people, in their eyes, Zhenwax and Linyi are very poor and backward places, even the royal family, they have trade with each other, but in fact they have little to do with each other.
And the Tang people are very proud of their identity, so Li Ke is not afraid of them leaking it, because Lingnan Road is their territory, and Li Ke's external strategy means that the territory of Lingnan Road will expand, even if those places are not Lingnan Road in the future, it will be beneficial to them here.
So this kind of thing is not going to be leaked.
Take down the real wax and Linyi? Everyone was stunned, His Highness just said that he was doing business with these two, why did he suddenly want to take them down?
Qiu He pondered for a while, Jiaozhou Mansion is the Hanoi of later generations, Qiu He is the forefront of facing these two families, and he naturally knows these very well.
"The strength of these two families is average, if you want to take them, under the condition of ensuring logistics, 50,000 elite soldiers are enough, if Your Highness can mobilize at least thirty or more warships, and at any time send one or two thousand elite soldiers to land and fight from their coastline, then this progress will be faster."
"But there is one point, you need to be elite, and now the government soldiers in Lingnan Province need to be trained, and the weapons and equipment are not enough." Qiu He can be regarded as having fought all his life, and his son also followed Li Shimin to participate in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and is still in Chang'an, and his two sons are in Chang'an.
So Qiu He must be loyal to Datang, so don't worry.
"I'll prepare you with 50,000 sets of armor no less than the Mingguang Armor." Li Ke spoke directly, after a year of development this year, Datang's new armor forging speed is getting faster and faster, and the industrialization system is not the same concept as the previous manual system at all, and when Li Ke left, he had already given the people in Datang Industrial Zone a task to forge armor and weapons with all their might.
The steel smelted near Chang'an was used to forge armor and weapons, except for scientific research and casting machine tools, so it was not difficult to provide 50,000 sets of armor and weapons in a year.
"This can take these two countries at any time." Qiu He was suppressed by Li Ke's generosity, can Datang take out so much armor now?
What is the concept of 50,000 sets of Mingguang armor? It's a sweep! You must know that because of the hot weather in these two countries, many of their soldiers do not even have leather armor at all, they are wearing linen clothes, bare feet, and holding a spear, this is a soldier.
