9. Crazy Smuggling (II)
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tianhu Tiehai to arrive, and he was loyal to Tianluo by his side. He and Shenhu Fu, who are known as the two major military gods of the empire, have also been friends of life and death for many years, and of course they don't need any reports or anything like that to enter Shenhu's house. As soon as he entered the door, Shenhu's angry face sank: "Old friend, you can't be like this." ”
Tianhu Tiehai smiled bitterly and said, "Old friend, I don't want to, it's just that what else can I do? If this continues, we will be finished." In the past thirty years, the various military materials that we have flowed into the Yanhuang clan are enough for the Yanhuang clan to create a fleet of thirty front military groups, and in another one or two hundred years, we will not have to do anything. Hearing the number of thirty front army groups, Qinghu Ichiro couldn't help but shudder, it was too much, and the blood loss of the Heavenly Tiger Empire was too serious.
Shenhu smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, I know that there is nothing good about the Dao. "Old friend, do you have any good ideas?" "No, I can't think of any good ways, Ichiro, what about you?" "Grandpa, I don't have any good ideas, but I have other ideas. ”
Tianhu Tiehai was happy in his heart, and he had high hopes for Qinghu Ichiro: "Ichiro, what do you think?" "Your Excellency Minister, it is impossible for us to stop the flow of materials into the Yanhuang Clan, and the smuggling matter is absolutely impossible to stop, if we must stop it, I am afraid that the civil war in the empire will break out immediately, and we will all end it immediately, this is the general trend, and we absolutely cannot reverse this general trend." ”
Tianhu Tiehai's heart sank: "Can't be stopped, is it really impossible to stop?" "Absolutely unstoppable, whoever stops who dies, there is no luck, after all, cultivation can become an immortal god, this kind of temptation is irresistible, whoever dares to block the way, will die." Ichiro Aotora said with great certainty.
What is the relationship between the Heavenly Tiger Tiehai and the Divine Tiger Fury? It's just that they understand better that if the smuggling activities continue, they will be really in a dilemma. "However, we can't stop the loss of materials, but it doesn't mean that we can't turn this matter into one that is beneficial to us, and it also makes the centripetal force of our empire further increase and minimize the loss as much as possible. Ichiro Aotora continued.
Tianluo faithfully shook his head and said, "Brother Qinghu, the difficulty in this is really too great, and the courage required is also too great, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to make up such a determination." Moreover, there is a lot of resistance, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy to achieve. ”
Tianhu Tiehai glanced at Tianluo Faithful and said, "Faithful, do you know Lu Daoichiro's plan?" "I don't know Lu Daoichiro's plan, but I think that in such a situation, there is only this road to go, but this road is very difficult to walk, so I don't want to mention it, and I don't dare to mention it." ”
Qinghu Ichiro smiled and said, "Brother Tianluo, it seems that we want to go together." "Ichiro, what is your plan?" "It's very simple, we openly trade with the Yanhuang clan. "Ichiro Qinghu said a proposal that shocked both the Tenhu Tiehai and the Divine Tiger Fury.
After a long time, Shenhu said angrily, "You mean that we openly trade with the Yanhuang Clan?" "Yes, His Majesty will come forward to organize the Royal Chamber of Commerce, which is specifically responsible for trading all kinds of spars and elixir magic weapons with the Yanhuang Clan. All the people in this chamber of commerce may participate in the shares, and the proceeds of the transaction will be divided according to the shares, and after the participation, if there is still smuggling, there will be no forgiveness. ”
Tianhu Tiehai shook his head and said, "How can you guarantee that those people will not trade with the Yanhuang Clan in private?" "It's very simple, benefits. "Oh, to be more detailed. "Now we have a request from the Yanhuang tribe, so the Yanhuang tribe can reduce the price to the minimum, we let them exploit it, the cost of a spar is not high, according to the current smuggling transaction, the price given by the Yanhuang tribe is at least a hundred times higher than the actual price, which is of course because we have a request from the Yanhuang tribe, but also because there is no order in the private transaction, let the Yanhuang tribe set the price, therefore, they can get the maximum profit from it." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Ichiro Aotora's analysis. "Over the years, we have fought countless battles with the Yanhuang Clan, although we have lost more and won less, but we have also destroyed a lot of warships of the Yanhuang Clan, the strength of the Yanhuang Clan is limited, the production capacity is limited, and the warships they produce are afraid that they will not be able to keep up with the consumption, therefore, they sell spars and elixir magic weapons, I am afraid that they also want to get more resources to replenish their fleet, from this aspect, the Yanhuang Clan has no way to trade with us. ”
"Therefore, if we organize a chamber of commerce, then the Yanhuang clan must be very anxious, as long as we supply the goods uniformly, then the price will not be up to the Yanhuang clan, and we will also have the power to set prices, at that time, we can exchange the spar pill at a much lower price than now, this is a huge benefit. ”
Listening to Qinghu Ichiro's analysis here, Tianhu Tiehai's eyes have lit up, there are definitely huge interests in this, the powerful people smuggled privately, and the spars obtained were not very many, because the price was too expensive, and the bastards of the Yanhuang clan were too dark, but once the Tianhu Empire traded openly and supplied centrally, it would be able to bargain with the Yanhuang clan, and when the time came, the price would drop several times or even more than ten times. This way, the magnates will be able to exchange the same materials for more hedrons and elixirs, and secondly, the empire will be able to minimize the losses. Third, the empire can unite all the magnates through the Chamber of Commerce, and save the increasingly acute confrontation between the royal family and the nobility, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Tianhu Tiehai sighed and said: "Old friend, I really don't know why you would be so far-sighted for Lu Dao in the first place, and you actually chose such a good great-grandson-in-law. Shenhu smiled angrily and proudly: "Lao Tzu's vision has always been better than yours." Hearing that the two great military gods of the empire praised their husbands, the Divine Tiger Sakura was already smiling like a flower.
Tianluo said faithfully: "Brother Qinghu is similar to what I thought, but although Brother Qinghu's plan is good, there are several problems to be solved. First, it is impossible to get all the nobles to participate, and smuggling should not be completely eliminated, so we have to win over a group, fight a group and isolate a group, but this task is very difficult, and it is not easy to find such a lobbyist, after all, it is not so easy for the nobles to believe people. ”
Qinghu Ichiro smiled and said: "This problem is not difficult to solve, the military, by His Excellency the Minister and Grandpa Tai, I believe there will not be much of a problem, as for the other nobles, I believe that the eight families are also happy to get such benefits, although they have a big family, it does not mean that they want to be exploited by the Yanhuang clan." ”
"The second question is the distribution of interests, since His Majesty has come forward, how should the specific interests be distributed? If you can't solve this problem, then your plan will be nothing more than a castle in the air. "Regulate market transactions, severely crack down on all kinds of smuggling, every time a transaction is made, according to the materials to distribute the proceeds of the transaction, the more materials are produced, then the income will naturally be more, as for the excess part of the benefits, my suggestion is to win over the big families and the middle families, suppress the small families, those small families will not be able to turn the sky." ”
"The third question, trading a large amount of military supplies with the enemy, if the news spreads, I am afraid that it will immediately cause turmoil in the empire, and our transaction can only be carried out secretly, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, once the news is leaked, how to deal with it?" "Then deal with it as smuggling, what does it matter?" We will never admit that this is an official transaction, these are just smuggling operations by private businessmen, and we can also come up with a group of disobedient families to make scapegoats, and then we will see which one is unlucky. Ichiro Qinghu replied casually.
Hearing the question and answer between the two of them, Tianhu Tiehai's face turned a little dark, this damn Tianluo is faithful, obviously there is a way, but he doesn't take it out, I really don't know how he became a deputy official.
Qinghu Ichiro saw Tianhu Tiehai's face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Your Excellency Minister, don't blame Brother Tianluo, he is helpless, such a plan is perfect for us to discuss now, but once the plan is not successful, and His Majesty does not agree, the consequences will be very troublesome." As a member of the Shenhu family, I may not be able to do anything under the protection of my grandfather, but Brother Tianluo does not have the protection of the big family, and the consequences are very serious. ”
Tianhu Tiehai smiled bitterly and said, "Or you are right, but do you think that His Majesty will agree to this plan?" "Then it depends on Your Majesty, at this stage, this one is already the best solution that we can come up with." I can't think of a better way to do it. ”
Tianhu Tienan can also be regarded as a courageous person, and when he heard Tianhu Tiehai relay Qinghu Ichiro's proposal, he immediately agreed. After instructing his henchmen to set it up, the two brothers sat down and chatted together. Tianhu Tienan is also much more relaxed, he has been really annoyed since these days: "Third brother, thank you very much." "My own brother, what are you talking about, but, Your Majesty, this Admiral Qinghu Ichiro has made a meritorious contribution, and my deputy official is also a little meritorious, you have to express it." ”
Tianhu Tienan smiled and said: "Of course, Admiral Qinghu is the great-grandson and son-in-law of Teacher Shenhu, I can be rewarded heavily, and your vice-minister will naturally also be rewarded with a great benefit." I said, third brother, I heard that your vice-minister has not yet married a wife, can my niece and granddaughter be worthy of him?" "I don't care about this, but they are very good at it, and it is not bad to have such a grandson-in-law." The two brothers looked at each other and laughed together.
Sun Tiejian received the report, smiled and said: "It's really troublesome to finally get this thing done, it seems that sometimes the plan can't be used too much, otherwise, all the plans will be messed up." Zhou Xuemei smiled and said: "Third brother, it's really difficult for the two of them, but I'm afraid that this matter is not over yet, so that we will be able to get much less materials, and I am afraid that the plan to expand the army will be postponed again." "So what's the matter? It's better to keep the status quo now, so that it is in our interests, as for the Heavenly Tiger Empire, it's better to be more stable, believe me, it won't be long, those guys from the Heavenly Tiger Empire will definitely try their best to sell more materials to us, we don't have to worry about running out of supplies." ”
As the Heavenly Tiger Empire has more and more cultivators, there will be more and more crystals and pills needed, and at that time, the number of transactions will become larger and larger, so the Yanhuang Clan does not have to worry about the problem of materials.
