I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 410, exclusive purchase system

"Silk Road!" Now Xiliang's tyrants are in high spirits. Didn't they come here because Lei Gong has the ability to open up the Silk Road!Let their hometown Xiliang become rich again!

With the opening of the Silk Road, the goods of the entire Dahan will enter the Western Regions from Xiliang, and the goods from the Western Regions will also enter the territory of the Dahan through Xiliang. This business route alone is enough for them to make a fortune!
This is the only way to get rid of poverty here in Liangzhou. During the Little Ice Age, Xiliang's climate was worse than that of Dahan. Drought, locust plagues continued, rainfall was insufficient, deserts continued to expand, basic water conservancy was lacking, and food production continued to decrease. Once the road is broken, Xiliang will decline like this!
Now the Silk Road has become the only hope for the entire Xiliang people, and no one wants to see their hometown decline like this.

Wang Guojun said: "As long as Xiliang is stabilized, the construction of Xiliang will become the top priority! And if you want to restore the prosperity of Xiliang, you must open the Silk Road!"

"We will make a Xiliang development bond, recruit 100 billion yuan, and use it to build cities, roads, and post stations along the Silk Road! Of course, there is also the most important army. Dagan will use this money to arm The 2 standing army will be used to capture and stabilize the Western Regions, this large army will be the protector of the caravans in the future, and anyone who dares to rob the caravans will be suppressed by my army!"

"100 billion!" This figure shocked all the owners present!
This big job is really rich, and it is easy to spend 100 billion yuan to build Xiliang, while the big man will only spend 100 billion yuan in military expenditures in Xiliang.

This alone has made the heads of many small families stand on the side of Dagan, and can open up the Western Regions. What is this little land!
Zhao Ang doubted: "Can the imperial court come up with 100 billion yuan?"

This is already more than three times the fiscal revenue of the Han court!Although Lei Gong is rich, he still doesn't think that Lei Gong will invest 100 billion in the Western Regions!
Wang Guojun shook his head and said, "My finances are also very tight. It is difficult to come up with 100 billion. I just said 100 billion development bonds! Not 100 billion!"

But Zhao Ang and the others obviously don't understand the gap, it's not all the same!
Wang Guojun could only explain: "This bond has to be sold to get money, but you don't have to worry, my big businessmen have long wanted to open up the Silk Road, and they are willing to spend the 100 billion money! "

Han Sui was surprised: "These businessmen will spend 100 billion yuan to do such a thing?"

This is a wealth that is incomparable to a country, and it is obvious that they are using their money to help the big government to do things. This is to build roads, build cities, and build post stations, which should be done by the court.

It was hard for Han Sui to imagine that the businessman was willing to pay such a sum of money!This is not to treat businessmen as fools. If these businessmen are so easy to deceive, he will all want to deceive them!

Wang Guojun said indifferently: "Businessmen can't afford it early, as long as they see the benefits, they will naturally invest in it."

"According to our ruling ideas, it will cost a lot to open up the Silk Road, so whoever contributes the money and effort will benefit!
Therefore, for every 10 billion bonds purchased, a business license in the Western Regions can be obtained, and the Silk Road can be operated exclusively in a monopoly manner.Therefore, there are only ten caravans that can truly trade freely in the Western Regions, and any other merchants that trade freely are unlicensed merchants who will confiscate their goods if they are caught! "

This is the monopoly system of the later colonial era. The advantage of this system is that it can monopolize and maximize profits.At the beginning of the colonial era, it was this kind of monopoly system that kept the colony from becoming a thankless wasteland!

Xu Wei has learned the lesson of the Chinese Empire. He has clearly become the main buyer of iron ore. It stands to reason that the pricing power should be in the hands of the Chinese Empire. However, because the rights to buy iron ore are scattered among the major steel factories, Instead, they were defeated one by one, spending hundreds of billions more to buy iron ore.

At that time, many people were annoyed by this matter. The market is in other people's hands, so it's okay to be bullied by others. If you want to make money from others, but you are bullied by others when the market is in your own hands, then you are stupid.

Tianchao has already accounted for [-]% to [-]% of the output of many commodities. Logically speaking, this has far exceeded the monopoly standard, but because of mutual price suppression, not only does it not make money, but it also loses money when the exchange rate moves.Whether it is buying or selling, they are bullied, just like our Celestial Dynasty in history!
So now Xu Wei simply came up with a monopoly system, and if he wanted silk, he had to exchange it for gold.

Of course, the most important thing is this kind of monopoly system. It is very simple to collect business tax, as long as you find these 10 companies, it is simple and convenient!
Han Sui said anxiously: "If we really follow the ruling system, wouldn't we also be unable to do business and go to the Western Regions? Why do we do such a thankless thing?"

10 billion yuan for a license, I am afraid that the sum of all the rich and powerful families in Xiliang will not reach this figure. They want to get rich by opening up the Western Regions, not to sacrifice themselves for others.

But Wang Guojun said calmly: "Don't worry, you must be familiar with the customs and customs of the Western Regions to operate the Silk Road. Who else in the whole big man understands the situation in the Western Regions, so even if a caravan has bought a license, you must be allowed to join go in!"

Jiang Jiong said angrily: "Then we Xiliang people will become part-time workers, and we can earn some money!"

Although Xiliang's Hao Qiang is not a descendant, he also knows that he can't make much money by working part-time. The only way to make money these days is to be a boss.

But Wang Guojun said: "You must know that the Western Regions Protectorate of the Great Han has only existed in name only in this dynasty. The imperial court has no financial resources to maintain a central army in the Western Regions thousands of miles away to suppress the Quartet! So after Ban Chao, the Great Han officially abandoned it. The Western Regions!"

"Why the Han court could not maintain the situation in the Western Regions? In addition to the southward shift of the imperial court's ruling center, the expansion of the Qiang people, and the strengthening of the strength of the countries in the Western Regions, the most important reason is that the Han court could not benefit from the Western Regions. Going to the Western Regions, it doesn’t matter when the Han court’s finances are healthy, but when the Han court’s finances are empty, the Western Regions will become tasteless, and they will be easily abandoned by the Han court!”

Wang Guojun sneered: "But the Western Regions really can't make money? How is Xiliang rich? Why do those businessmen come to Dahan from thousands of miles away?

Why do the businessmen of Dahan go to those countries thousands of miles away?

It is because my big man's silk can be turned into gold of equal weight when it arrives in the Western Regions, these merchants naturally have to go thousands of miles away to sell silk.

All the profits made by the Silk Road have been earned by you tyrannical and powerful merchants.Instead, the imperial court would lose money. How could the Han imperial court be willing to do such a thankless task?The imperial court is unwilling to do it, so you can suppress the various countries in the Western Regions?
So you and the Han have become lose-lose, the Han court has lost the Western Regions, and you have lost your financial resources!Xiliang is also declining day by day! "

"But now the monopoly system is simple. Even for their own benefit, these 10 commercial firms will find ways to pay for the imperial court to maintain the army in the Western Regions. Don't say 2 troops, even if they are willing to have 10 troops. Helping the imperial court to maintain, the imperial court can also receive a large amount of taxes to maintain the rule in the Western Regions, this is a real win-win situation!"
