Chapter 372
The visitor was wearing a long silk robe, inlaid with gold threads, precious stones, etc., and a white jade belt was tied around his waist.

The most peculiar thing is his hat, which looks like a precious mink fur, with three precious stones, one red, one blue and one green inlaid in the middle.

There is also a string of necklaces hanging around the thick neck, with various precious stones connected in series with thin gold chains.

It perfectly fits Yang Zheng's image of a nouveau riche.

"Haha, Brother Yang, you are safe and well." Feng Qi cupped his hands.

"Bold!"

"presumptuous!"

Liu Heng and Lin Sen scolded from left to right.

Feng Qi was not frightened, but Ma Yan was so frightened that his legs went limp.

Yang Zheng waved his hand. When old friends meet again, politeness will be avoided. Feng Qi's daring to come shows his courage. "Why is Brother Feng still alive?"

Feng Qi laughed, "Thanks to the general, I am here in the Western Regions and have a good life."

"You're living a good life, why are you here to die?" Yang Zheng was also laughing, but there was already a sharp edge in his smile.

The smile on Feng Qi's face restrained, and he said seriously: "I'm here to help the general."

"Oh?" Yang Zheng was not surprised by his remarks.

Feng Qi said: "One thousand gold buys this little life, one thousand gold clears up the past, and one thousand gold honors the general."

One gold of Han and Wei Dynasties is about 200 grams, about half a catty.

Three thousand gold is almost 4000 taels of gold!
Yang Zheng gasped again, before he got to the point, this fellow threw out ten thousand taels of gold!

This is no ordinary upstart.

Yang Zheng looked at Feng Qi repeatedly. This guy is the one who doesn't see rabbits or hawks. He is as shrewd as a ghost and as cunning as a fox. His food is not so delicious, "Brother Feng, you are embarrassing my brother! .”

This guy dared to come to the door, so he was sure of everything.

"The general is a person who does great things, how can such a small amount of money be taken into account?" Feng Qi secretly flattered, "Even if the future matters cannot be negotiated, the gold will be given as much as it is, and I will give it to the general respect."

If you do business for this sake, it would be unreasonable for you not to develop.

4000 taels is not a small amount for Yang Zheng like this, so if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it for nothing.

With a decision in his heart, the hostility towards Feng Qi weakened instantly, "Brother Feng can talk about business."

Feng Qi's eyeballs flicked left and right.

Yang Zheng smiled, "General Ma has worked hard, take him down for tea."

Ma Yan was taken aback for a moment, then turned his gaze to Feng Qi, eagerly counting on Feng Qi to say something to keep him.

Feng Qi ignored him.

They had no choice but to walk out with Lin Sen.

Only Yang Zheng, Feng Qi, and Liu Heng were left in the hall.

Only then did Feng Qi open his mouth, "Now the general holds Hexi and Gaochang, across the east, west, north, and south, and all the money in the world flows in and out of this place. If it is managed properly, the annual tax will be more than hundreds of millions? This is the foundation of the world!"

Yang Zheng's appetite was completely whetted.

I know that there is money in the Hexi Corridor, but I have no concept of how much money there is.

But the Hu people and merchants coming and going in the Hexi Corridor are densely packed.

Birds die for food, and people die for money. There is no benefit, so they can't afford to risk their lives to come to the Central Plains.

Merchants from the Western Regions came to Han, and then bought silk, porcelain, etc. to return to the Western Regions. Once they went through the Hexi Corridor, they would double their profits.

During this period, there were also Han merchants who went to the Western Regions.

According to "Salt and Iron Theory", two feet of silk in the Han Dynasty could be exchanged for goods worth tens of thousands of dollars from the Western Regions of the Xiongnu, which is absolutely the windfall profit.

No wonder so many people flock to it.

In the past, when Hexi was in turmoil, all localities acted on their own, taxes were set by themselves, and local tyrants directly robbed merchants.

The Qianghu Xianbei tribe also came to join in.

Even so, businessmen are still flocking to it.

But now Yang Zheng has opened up the Hexi Corridor, paving the way for the great trade between the East and the West.

"Brother Feng must have a good strategy."

Harmony makes money, and when talking about business, you must have the attitude of talking about business.

"The general can clean up Hexi's commercial roads, the powerful and the government, delineate a unified business tax, and not collect it privately, attack the Qiang Hu Xianbei and other tribes, and ensure the safety of the business road. Given time, Hexi will surely prosper! The general also has the capital to fix the country!" Feng Qi! Both eyes shine.

Isn't this the customs of later generations?
In the late Qing Dynasty, the squishy ones couldn't be more squishy, ​​but they were hanged for decades by only one customs.

Yang Zheng didn't have the ambition to take over the world.

Neither the Sima family nor the Shu kingdom are easy to mess with. Hexi is initially settled, and the family has been stable for decades, with a strong family background.

However, the ambition to separate Hexi and watch the Central Plains is still there.

Money is the courage of heroes, and money is also the life of the country.

A healthy power must have a healthy economy.

"Yes." Yang Zheng agreed without thinking.

"The general is indeed very human! But to obtain the highest benefits, it is not enough to open up the Hexi Corridor, and you need the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains." Feng Qi's voice is full of infinite temptation.

This is a bit of nonsense. If he had the ability to conquer the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Yang Zheng would not sit here.

Winning Gaochang is already the limit.

In fact, if Ma Yan hadn't been captured in the First World War, there would have been more fights in this battle.

Also, do you have to send troops to garrison after you fight?
Who among the Central Plains soldiers is willing to stay away from home?
Moreover, the Central Plains is changeable, Chen Tai and Deng Ai are blocking the door of the house, if Wuwei is lost, the Hexi Corridor will immediately disappear.

"The soldiers are exhausted from the conquest, and they are no longer able to go west." Yang Zheng said the truth.

Unexpectedly, the gleam in Feng Qi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "No, it's the next strategy for the army to conquer! Today, the general defeated Gaochang in the first battle, and destroyed Xianbei Aruoduo in the second world war. The general's prestige, the general can imitate the great Han, conclude alliances with other countries, and unite vertically and horizontally, but if there are disobedient ministers, use Gaochang's elite army to unite all countries to wipe them out!"

Is this the greasy, treacherous fat man I know?

Talent.

But Yang Zheng is not the same as Xiaobai back then, "This strategy is very good, but I will return to Guzang after all, I can't stay here for a long time, once the army goes, what if the countries don't cooperate?"

"If you don't cooperate, you can increase the taxes of merchants in this country and prevent other merchants from passing through this country. The countries in the Western Regions rely on commerce and trade. If things go on like this, their countries will inevitably be in turmoil and be swallowed up by the surrounding forces." Feng Qi obviously came prepared.

Whoever controls the Hexi Corridor will have absolute dominance.

Coupled with the remaining prestige of the Han and Wei Dynasties for hundreds of years, the countries in the Western Regions really don't have the guts to turn against themselves.

Besides, whoever is disobedient, doesn't it just give him a reason to send troops?
The Han Dynasty played almost the same way.

United countries, attack the Xiongnu.

Although he left, Zhang Te who stayed behind was not a vegetarian.

"Then, what do you want?" Yang Zheng asked in a formal tone.

Feng Qi bowed in front of Yang Zheng, "I would like to take the general's scepter to send envoys to various countries and open up business channels."

"So, Your Excellency's ambition is Zhang Bowang and Ban Dingyuan?" Yang Zheng joked, but he probably understood his thoughts in his heart.

Integrating the Hexi Corridor by himself, he used his power to integrate the Western Regions.

Merger of things, profits skyrocketed.

It's admirable that the business does this.

Feng Qi's eyeballs rolled, but he was honest, "This is for the general, for the Han family, and for myself."
