When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Su Tan looked at Xin Qu who didn't say anything and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had dodged a bullet.

After a while, Lu Jia came in again and handed Xin Qu the second bamboo slip.

The content on this bamboo slip is about the activities of gamblers near Changping City and the Dayi Merchant Embassy this time.

Of course, what made Xin Qu most angry was that these people really had bad intentions.

They have started asking gamblers to attract other gamblers.

What method should be used to introduce the old to the new and give them gambling capital and chips?

"Send people to surround the Dayi Merchant Embassy for me."

Xin Qu wrote the warrant and slammed it on the table.

Lu Jia quickly went up to take it and was about to leave, but Su Tan quickly stopped him: "Wait! Qu, now is not the time!"

Xin Qu frowned slightly and looked at him: "What? Do you feel sorry for the business group from the south?"

"Definitely not! But...but you have always said that any execution must be dealt with by law. You just sent people to surround the Dayi Merchant Embassy, ​​and it seemed that you could easily suppress this kind of gambling.

But have you ever thought about it? It’s suppressed, but once the gambling business starts, how many people do you think can handle it?

Since the food is not available, they can still give money, and if the money is not available, they can still use land as a trade. These are all loopholes!

If I’m not mistaken about Dayi Shang’s plot, it must be aimed at our craftsmanship.

Especially, those things in the hands of craftsmen. "

Su Tan's tone was very anxious, "If you take action now, you will fall into the opponent's hands. First of all, we have finally calmed down. If the merchants of Dayi are completely angered at this time, the king of Hebei in Tangyi, Yi and Cangyi in the south will What does the guild think of us?

They will definitely take the opportunity to disturb us.

Because our presence has blocked their business opportunities to obtain cheap furs from Grassland and Sushen.

When I passed through Daxing County last year, I heard a local passerby say that because of our blockade, the price of furs for various princes in Hebei had doubled.

The price of shipping to Dayi merchants has increased more than three times than before.

Common people can hardly afford furs to keep out the cold.

If you completely offend the Dayi merchants now, then these Hebei princes will definitely not stand on our side, but will take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Even if we are not afraid, haven't you also set a goal not to use weapons easily within three years?

What's more important is that when entering Hebei, there is a Baiyangdian block, and the huge Shuibo swamp naturally becomes an obstacle between the north and the south.

If you were preparing to launch troops against the South, you wouldn't tell me that you didn't know the threat from Baiyangdian, right?

So, be patient, let them play if they like, but as long as they don't appear in front of us.

There is no need to surround, to surround is to tear apart..."

"Okay, I know what you think. But at this stage, Zixun doesn't dare to break up with us directly." Xinqu didn't care, "Surround me, and then tell the Wei brothers that I need them to send me three Use your head to solve this problem."

"But for both parties..."

"From a business perspective, you are very qualified." Xinqu looked at Su Tan, who was still trying to persuade him, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "But from a political perspective, you are not qualified.

If you come here, you must have heard about Kanhe Trade. "

"You..." Su Tan's pupils shrank. This was the reason why he ran over as soon as he heard Xin Qu's return.

Xinqu's favorable trade with the Lingzhi family directly choked their commercial development in Sutan.

This means that Xinqu further strengthened Yan's official trade with external forces.

"I want three heads, and the Wei brothers will send them to me. Even if I just say a word, Zixun will send me their heads.

Because official trade can further help Zixun gain control of Shandong's territory.

Since I have blocked the Yanshan Passage, all trade in Grassland, Chengde, Sushen and even Shanxi must be transferred through me.

That being the case, why can’t I act as this second-hand dealer?

No matter who you are, as long as you don't get a good deal, the premium will be twenty times higher. If you get a good deal, I'll suffer a little loss, so just give me ten times the price.

The money and grain collected will be used to support our population, fertility, land reclamation, and infrastructure construction.

I want agriculture and I want commerce.

With the operation of the entire Yanfang, what does the little money and food you earn count?

The resources that Haiyang County will receive next are far beyond your imagination.

But the premise is that we need to increase the overall price.

Since they want to be a guest, we will go with the flow and take out Kanhe to prevent their business groups from entering. If the merchants from Dayi are disobedient, I will transfer their quota to the prince of Hebei. If the prince of Hebei is also disobedient, then there will be the Lu family and the Li family.

Ax and Xin Bing are our two nails in the south. They can be traded to them and can quickly help them grow in strength.

As for whether the South will cut off our trade.

Are you kidding? If it doesn’t turn east, it will turn west.

We have our own trade alliance in Shanxi. If it's not enough, I can use it to reward subordinates with titles.

Regardless, I don't lose anything.

But what about the south? "

Seeing that Su Tan stopped talking, Xin Qu knew that he had said too much, so he coughed lightly and said: "Okay, I will adjust the business of the grain bank later. You hand it over to the deputy as soon as possible, and then wait for the letter of appointment to be obtained. Then go to Haiyang County."

"So, even if it weren't for me spying on Zhi's information, you would still let me take a local post?"

Su Tan scratched his head, showing a look of surprise.

"You must go somewhere." Xinqu didn't hide anything, and continued, "Your abilities can't just be placed in the center,

Haiyang County has a superior geographical location, and it is directly connected to the northeast to the east.

This is related to our business monopoly in the northeast. If a person with great ability goes there, you will do a good job. Your identity, status, and ability can all match. For the time being, I can only feel at ease if you go. "

"Hehe! Look, you have praised me to the sky! Don't worry, I will do a good job!"

Rubbing his hands, Su Tan said goodbye to Xinqu, and then left happily.

Lu Jia, however, kept looking at Su Tan and watched him leave. After a moment, he turned to Xin Qu and said, "Tan is not happy."

"Wearing a high hat, you have to be happy even if you don't like it." Xin Qu continued to look at the bamboo slips without raising his head and said, "He built the framework of the grain store. In his heart, he is not a person who likes to stay the same or endure hardships. temperament.

He likes gambling.

Just like hunting.

But the question is, how much money can you make from hunting now? No matter how unstable farming is, it is still more stable than hunting.

But there is a bigger problem in farming, and that is how much it costs you to pay. As long as all the water conservancy facilities are completed, your harvest will be expected.

The annual income can also be calculated.

Therefore, the sense of surprise is not enough.

In this case, give him a greater sense of surprise.

The dock at Tianjin Shipyard is about to be completed.

Next year, we can start building building ships.

Once the building boat comes out, we can walk sideways along the coast and rivers.

But this is a huge expense.

Someone needs to tell us the truth. "

Xin Qu picked up his pen and began to write the "State Letter" on a blank bamboo slip. The content was naturally about several issues concerning Yan's trade with foreign countries.

He couldn't cover the cost of this, so he could only ask the South to cover it for him.

"But... I'm worried that the princes of Hebei will give up farming and turn to cattle and sheep breeding."

"Hey! I got what I asked for!" Xin Qu heard this and laughed wildly, "Then let the South try it in advance. What is economic war?

Notify all counties to collectively enclose a piece of river beach land and then start large-scale breeding of cattle, sheep and horses.

Give full play to the overall strength, and uniformly process and purchase the skins and furs of the raised livestock. To put it into perspective, our breeding conditions are much better than those in the south.

After all, the prince of Hebei still has to worry about the river flooding, but we don't have to worry so much.

It happens that many places cannot be reclaimed as farmland for the time being, so let's use our breeding capabilities. "

Just by thinking about it, Lu Jia roughly knew what Xin Qu was going to do.

"Okay, take it to the Dayi Merchant Embassy. I have banned gambling, otherwise it will look good to them."

Xin Qu threw out a roll of bamboo slips with a cold voice. (End of chapter)
