Chapter 179 Joint-Stock Legion
Chapter 179 Joint-Stock Corps
Last night, a rainstorm made the air in the whole world a lot fresher. Where is the fastest update of the novel?Please look for Aishang Novel Network biquge.info This is the first time that Hu Wei has experienced such a heavy rainstorm in more than a year in Dongwangcheng.
"Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and those beast grasses should grow taller again. Hu Wei stood in front of the windowsill, looking at the large blue in the distance, and muttered.
Since that military meeting, 50,000 immortal bird soldiers have joined in the creation and construction of Dongwang City. After more than half a year of development, the horse industry and weapons processing industry in Dongwang City have begun to take shape. Many young people who saw the development of Dongwang City also ended their days of wandering and returned to their hometowns to contribute to the construction of Dongwang City.
In terms of weapons, except for a small amount sold to the Wolf Legion, Hu Wei mainly used them to equip his own troops. The current Immortal Bird Legion is no longer the Blizzard Legion that used to be desperate with a broken knife and Anrong people. The name Blizzard Legion, like those broken equipment, was all thrown into the distant Qinling Mountains.
There are two main ways to make money now, one is horses, and the other is salt. The war horses fed by the Hundred Beast Grass are indeed very good, not only growing tall, but also very enduring. Hu Wei ordered the people to select good horses into the army, train them to become war horses, so that they can be used in future battles, and sell the horses that are inferior to the first level to the outside world in exchange for the means of production and food they need.
Although it is a second-class horse, it is still a grade better than the horses produced in other places, and the horses of Dongwangcheng are now very popular in the market. Almost to the point where demand outstrips supply.
In terms of salt, Hu Wei not only supplied the Wolf Legion, but also secretly sent his cronies to establish a sales network in various towns in the northwest. Although it cannot be sold openly, it is very popular with the local people because the price is nearly half cheaper than the official one, and the quality is better.
After Hu Wei sent people to open up all joints, Hu Wei's private salt industry has almost become a semi-open industry. The official salt of the empire, the sales volume here, was robbed by Hu Wei of more than fifty percent.
This is still the result of Hu Wei fearing that the impact will be too great, and those salt officials will make trouble and control the supply. Otherwise, Hu Wei would have been able to monopolize the salt industry in the northwest a long time ago. The common people are not stupid, who will spend twice as much money to buy official salt.
"What are you thinking? Hong put on a dress, came behind Hu Wei, gently hugged Hu Wei, and rested his head on Hu Wei's shoulder.
The leakage of * points overnight made her little face ruddy and moving, no worse than that ten-year-old girl.
Hu Wei pulled Hong in front of him with his backhand, hugged her watery skin, and said gently, "Why don't you sleep for a while." ”
"I slept well. Red was in Hu Wei's arms, squirming a few times, why did he adjust a comfortable posture, and looked at Hu Wei with a pair of big eyes that could talk.
Hu Wei understood what Red meant, and said with a smile: "I was thinking just now, in another month or two, our first batch of cavalry will be born." ”
Red nodded and said, "Well, time flies in a blink of an eye, and those foals will grow into big horses." By the way, you haven't told me yet, how did you get these horses from that Zhao Erte in the Chihe Empire? ”
Hu smiled evilly: "Didn't I sue you last night?"
Hong Buyi said angrily: "How can you say it." "Irrigated by the rain and dew, she is more and more moving. Even the girlish spirit that had been gone for a long time returned to her.
With a noble temperament and a touching appearance, Hong has a high popularity in Dongwang City. I don't know how many people, tossing and turning at night, faintly calling her name. And this moving body now belongs to Hu Wei. Those people can only think about it.
Hu Wei couldn't help but pinch his red and pretty little nose and said, "Of course I said, you can't blame me for not listening." You little sleeping pig. ”
"You're just a sleeping pig. Red snorted and said, "It's not all you, so fierce." ”
"Hehe, that's not what you like. I don't know who screamed so loudly last night. I see, half of the people in this cave city had trouble sleeping last night. They are your people, how can you do that to them? ”
Three days ago, Hu Wei promoted the red to the city guard, and now nominally, this Dongwang City is already red. Of course, this promotion was not officially recognized by the empire, but Hu Wei did not need their approval. Now in Dongwang City, he is the king, and he can do whatever he wants. The empire is now too busy to take care of itself, and how can it have time to take care of him.
The 100,000 aristocratic army that set out from the imperial capital suffered a complete defeat in the battle to recover the waves. Of the 100,000 troops, only 30,000 returned to the imperial capital alive, and 70,000 fell forever in their heroic dreams.
The upper family, which has lost its children, is now asking Valencia for a son. Valencia is too busy to put her feet on the ground, so how can she take care of this matter far away in the northwest.
After this battle, the empire's military reputation fell to a low point again, and there were many people snickering.
"How can people scream. Hong's face was so red that it was almost dripping, and he hid in Hu Wei's arms in shame, took a bite on Hu Wei's chest, and said angrily: "Why did Zhao Erte give you a horse." ”
"Ouch, don't bite, don't bite, I'm different here from you, I can't bite. Hu Wei hurriedly pulled away his red little head: "Okay, I said, I said it's not okay." ”
"Hmph, see if you dare to say it. Red raised his head triumphantly, as if he had won a battle.
"You're definitely a tiger. Hu Wei muttered, there is no zodiac in the Tianfeng Continent, and it is really difficult to judge what red is.
In order to prevent Hong from moving his jade teeth again, Hu Wei hugged Hong and didn't let her have a chance to move, so he sued Red about his deal with Zhao Erte, the prince of the Chihe Empire.
"What, that's it, Zult will give you ten thousand horses. After listening to Hu Wei's statement, Hong looked at Hu Wei with a disbelieving face.
It turned out that the deal reached between Zhao Erte and Hu Wei was to let Hu Wei help him kill Honda Kameyu at the cost of 10,000 horses. Because it was the constant incitement of Honda Kameyu from Anrong that made King Chihe have ambitions for the Central Plains.
It's just that Zhao Erte, who was a little lacking in heart, forgot the time to confirm the start with Hu You, so that Hu Wei took advantage of the loophole and got his 10,000 horses, but he didn't even come out of Dongwangcheng, talking about assassinating Honda Guiyou.
"That's it, it's not easy to kill Honda Kameyu. Hu Wei said angrily.
Red said: "But you didn't do anything with Ben." but got 10,000 horses. That Zhao Erte is really unlucky to meet you. ”
Hu Wei said: "Who said that I won't do it, it's just that the time has not yet come." That Honda Kameyu fanned the flames everywhere, and sooner or later I had to clean him up. Besides, although I didn't kill Honda Kameyu, then I won't give Zhao Erte salt. ”
Red lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "What do you say that Honda Kameyu is trying to do?" According to our intelligence, when the Lin Gui Empire sent troops to fight us, it was Honda Kameyu who contacted us. An Rong was a vassal to the Lin Gui Empire, and he was also a ghost from it. Who the hell do you think he's helping?"
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. But I think this Honda Kameyu must be brewing some kind of conspiracy. Not only Honda Kameyu, but I think there are many more people who are brewing a conspiracy together, but I still don't know what this conspiracy is. ”
Hu Wei said and fell into deep thought again. Since a year ago, faintly, he always feels that there are a lot of things that he can't think clearly, and he can't say what the specific thing is, anyway, he always feels uncomfortable, and always feels that something is happening.
Seeing Hu You's frowning appearance, Hong didn't feel a little distressed, stretched out his hand to gently smooth Hu Wei's brows, and said softly: "Don't think about him if you can't think of it, let's just develop our Dongwang City now." As long as we have strength, we can face anything. ”
Hu Wei agreed: "Well, you're right. No matter what the conspiracy is, there will be a day when it will surface. As long as we are strong enough, then there is nothing to fear. ”
Hong Dao: "Speaking of this cave Wang Cheng, I have an idea. Our cave city is too broken. Yesterday, the eastern section of the city wall collapsed again, and more than a dozen people who passed by there were buried inside. Fortunately, the soldiers of the first regiment just passed by, otherwise these dozen or so city-dwellers would have been finished.
This old city was established by the Bauhinia Dynasty and has a history of nearly 80 years. After 80 years of wind and rain, and this bad weather conditions, it is too dilapidated. In the past six months, although we have been repairing, its roots have broken down and it does not play much role with the original. ”
Hu Wei quietly listened to Hong's words, and finally helped Hong conclude: "Do you want to rebuild Dongwang City?"
"Hmm. Seeing through his thoughts, Hong wrinkled his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes, I also know that our finances are very tight now, but Dongwang City is too broken." We didn't have any money before, so it didn't matter, but now we have some money, and if anyone comes to attack our idea, we don't even have a fortification. ”
Hu Wei frowned tightly and said, "You have a point, you want to repair the city, and I agree with it." But it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to repair the city, and can we get it for a while?"
This idea of rebuilding Dongwang City is not unthinkable. He had even thought about it before Red. As early as the first sight of Dongwang City, he had already decided to rebuild Dongwang City.
Hu Wei had already regarded Dongwang City as his base in his heart, would he not want this Dongwang City to be good? Doesn't he want to live in Dongwang City, but like to sleep in the military camp every day?
Hu thought to himself, he thought more than anyone else. He has no home since he was a child, and he dreams of having a house of his own. Now that he has a city in front of him, and he can't live in it, what kind of mood is that?
In addition, with the continuous development of the horse industry and weapons processing industry, the popularity of Dongwang City has slowly rebounded. This is a great opportunity to develop the population. Without a decent town, how can it attract a larger population.
There is no home without a city, there is no sense of belonging without a home, and without a sense of belonging, how can more people join the legion. How can they sacrifice their lives to protect their homes and towns when they encounter danger?
Hong replied: "I've calculated this, if we rebuild a city of this scale, there will be no problem with the funds, and our income from selling salt can be fully supported." As for manpower, we still have to send soldiers. ”
Hu Wei asked, "What if I want to build a bigger one?"
Red looked up at Hu Wei: "How old?"
Hu Wei drew a circle with his hand: "It's as big as the previous Dongwang City." ”
Red was taken aback and said, "You mean to restore the scale before the destruction of the city by Rijkaard?"
Before it was destroyed by Rijkaard, Dongwang was divided into five districts: southeast, northwest, and central. The current Dongwang City is actually just a district in front of this, and the real Dongwang City is much bigger than this. In the past, there were three or four hundred thousand people here, but now in this Dongwang City, people can't let go of three or four hundred thousand people standing with people.
Hu Wei's face showed a domineering and said: "Yes, I'm a person, either I don't do it, or I have to do my best." If it's just to rebuild the current little city, it doesn't mean much. I want to redevelop this Dongwang City into the largest city in the northwest. I want to develop this area into a town with a million people. ”
Hong calculated in his heart for a while, and said with a worried face: "But, if that's the case, it will take us at least five years to get together so much money." ”
Hu Wei shook his head and said: "Five years is too long, I can't wait that long, and the current situation doesn't allow me to wait for so long." I decided to start work within a month. ”
"Boss, you're not kidding. How can we possibly scrape together that much money in a month?" After Zhu Daneng listened to Hu Wei's mention, his mouth opened as big as an egg.
"That's why I'm going to talk to you. Hu Wei smiled: "I plan to use the method of fundraising." Recruit all the people, those who have money to pay, and those who have power to contribute. Gather the strength of all the people to re-establish this cave city. ”
Hou San scratched his head and said, "What kind of fund-raising method, boss, don't talk about the kind of things we don't understand, you say something we can understand." ”
Hu Wei said: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly, you will know." I intend to raise this capital by issuing shares in the name of the legion in the form of shares. ”
Seeing that Hou San was about to speak again, Hu Wei waved his hand and said, "You don't need to say it, I know you definitely don't understand what stocks mean." I'll make you understand. ”
Hu Wei said and nodded to Hong, who hung a chart on the wall. Hu Wei took a wooden stick, came to the chart, and explained: "Look, this is our Legion of Undead Birds, of course, we are still the Blizzard Legion to the outside.
It doesn't matter what kind of legion it is, now we're going to split the legion into a hundred. Not to divide the soldiers into a hundred, but to divide our legion into a hundred.
For example, if each copy is a gold coin, then you wait for three to take a gold coin out, and the legion will have a copy for you. Got it?"
"Not in vain. Not only did the waiter shake it, but there was no one sitting there who didn't shake their heads. They had never been exposed to this kind of new thing, so how could they understand what Hu Wei was saying.
Maragobi. Hu Wei scolded in his heart. In fact, he doesn't understand this kind of Rausch stock very well. When he used to talk to Master, he never had more than fifty yuan in his pocket, and he never copied shares.
He heard from Hong that it would take five years to rebuild Dongwang City, and he was in a hurry to come up with such a trick to fool people. His purpose is to get everyone, especially those who have families and rich behind them like Zhu Daneng, to get their money out and let him build a city. If you want to let people take out the money obediently, there must be some kind of explanation. He had heard people say that stocks were very good at making money, so he came up with such a thing.
"How could you not understand?" Hu Wei reorganized his language and said, "To put it simply, we divide our legion into a hundred parts, and you contribute a share of the money, and one of our legions is yours." ”
"Oh, I see. Hou San just nodded, suddenly jumped up, and shouted in surprise: "Boss, are you going to sell our legion?"
Hu You's head was itchy, and he waved his hand again and again: "It's not a sale of the legion, it's a sale of ownership, and the legion is still in my hands." ”
Hu was so anxious that the beads of sweat came down, how could people in the previous era be so easy to deceive, and throw a lot of money into the stock market. This guy in front of him, why don't you understand.
I was in a hurry, and suddenly saw a soldier walking by with a large cake outside the door, Hu Wei ran out, snatched the bread back, put it in front of the table and said, "Look, this cake is our legion." Now, I'm going to cut this cake into ten. ”
"Boss, you didn't use a knife, how can you cut it?"
"Without a knife, this bread is now ten portions. Hu Wei glared back at the guy who opened his mouth, and continued: "I have ten portions of bread now, and I can't eat so much, so I will sell four of them to Zhu Daneng, Hou San, Jebe, Harrison, and the four of you." Now four portions of this loaf belong to the four of you. ”
Hou San asked, "Then can we eat it?"
"Of course you can't eat it, six of them are mine, I'm the big head, I say I can only eat it, I say I can't eat it, then no one can eat it. ”
Harrison muttered, "Then we didn't give money for nothing?"
Hu worried: "Then how can you give money for nothing, here are four of your shares." I'll give you a little bit from time to time. ”
Hu Wei said and broke off a small cake and said: "This small piece, for example, is the proceeds from the sale of our horses, we will take it out and divide it." I have six portions, and each of you has one portion. Look, don't you have that then?"
Hou San looked at the dividends that were not as big as his own boogers, and said with a bitter face: "So little?"
Hu Wei said: "Less, when our piece of cake is getting bigger and bigger, you will get it, so think about it more, now we only have Dongwang City, what if Yanzhou is ours, what if the entire Tianfeng Continent is ours?"
