Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Your Majesty, a total of 75 people who came to purchase Chushu's forging technology have now gathered in the official residence outside the palace."

Soon after, Kou Shui entered the hall and reported to Kou Feng.

Originally, Kou Feng planned to hold it in the main hall. Later, he considered that this was the place where hundreds of officials met, and some officials discriminated against businessmen, so Kou Feng decided to choose an official residence as the venue for this event. The venue of the event.

"Show off."

Kou Feng nodded, stood up and said.

"Promise." Kou Shui promised, turned and walked out.Kou Feng then walked out, got into a chariot outside the main hall, and headed out of the palace.

Not long after, he arrived at the mansion.

The official residence here is quite large, and Kou Feng was originally prepared for Sangong.However, Sima Hui and Duke Pang De are nostalgic for Jingzhou and Chuxue.I didn't come to Chengdu, so I was free.

Coincidentally, this time it was used to meet those big businessmen.After arriving at the mansion, Kou Feng got off the carriage and walked in.Soon, they came to the hall.

There were more than eighty people in the hall.In addition to the big merchants, there are also those protons who stayed in Chengdu from the ten southern countries.

The state of Chu said that it is big, but it is also small.At the very least, the scope of existence of businessmen who can accumulate thousands of gold is absolutely narrow.Hence, the great businessmen who gather together these days.Or have business dealings, or have heard of fame.

Businessmen are also good at speaking, so they are very familiar with each other.The atmosphere is very harmonious.

However, from the gazes of some businessmen, who kept shaking towards the door, it can be seen that many people are absent-minded.

As for the protons of the Ten Kingdoms, including Tai Tuo and Qing Ao, they have also completely changed.The so-called change does not refer to appearance. When they first came to Chu State, they had already put on Han clothes.

But at this time, no matter what he said or did, he was still very vulgar.But after nearly two or three months of teaching, these people have already got the essence no matter from their sitting posture or their demeanor.

It looks so much the same thing.The more outstanding people in this group, such as Tai Tuo and Qing Ao, can even communicate with people in relatively dull Chinese.

However, even if it is re-like, it lacks a kind of charm.Let people know at a glance that they are not from their own tribe.Therefore, there is a big gap between these protons and the big businessmen.

The two groups of people can be said to be distinct.

"Are these the protons of the so-called ten southern countries?"

However, it is not that no one is interested in the protons of these ten countries.Among the businessmen, there was one person who showed interest in these protons.

This person is about 30 years old, with fair complexion, handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and the worst is from an ordinary gentry family.Among a group of businessmen, he stands out from the crowd.

Extremely eye-catching.

"The Son of Heaven is here."

However, whether it was the 30-year-old man or the rest of the servants, they all turned their eyes to the door in unison.

emperor.

The emperor of Chu.

The expressions on the faces of the businessmen were all very excited, not to mention the benefits brought by this grand meeting.In other words, being able to meet the emperor is already worth the price of admission.

Son of Heaven.How many merchants have been able to meet the emperor in the past?It's rare.This time, Kou Feng's personal interview was actually one of the reasons why so many businessmen came here.

It proves that the will of Kou Feng, the emperor of Chu, is not inferior to businessmen.This is great news for businessmen.If it is like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Treat merchants as money houses, and when they are short of money, kill merchants, tyrannize and withdraw money.That would be terrible.

Facing everyone's eyes, Kou Feng walked up to the upper seat calmly and sat down on his knees.

"Meet Your Majesty."

After Kou Feng sat down, all the people came together to pay homage to the Taoist priest.

"Exemption." Kou Feng smiled kindly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone thanked Kou Feng in unison.

"This time, one of the reasons why Gu summoned you here is because it will cost a lot of money if the state continues to provide Chu books for free. Second, it is also because of the state's policy of reducing taxation that the treasury is not full. Gu is like selling books. Chu Shu's forging technology was sold to raise funds. The value of this Chu Shu technology is very high. But Gu also knows that if so many of you divide it, the value will drop greatly. One thousand gold is a bit much. Thank you all for your support here.”

Kou Feng said to the merchants with an unexpectedly respectful and honest tone.This is from the heart, because Kou Feng knows that it is up to them to develop Southeast Asia.

Should not use condescending demeanor.

From Kou Feng's point of view, it is right to be kind to these big businessmen.However, in the ears of businessmen, it is a different feeling.

Kou Feng showed the most basic respect and integrity.Tell them very bluntly that because of low taxes, the treasury is not full.

Among the emperors of all dynasties, he was the only one who spoke to the merchants in this way.This made the businessmen, who had always been of relatively low status, feel an urge to shed tears at this moment.

Suddenly, there is a clear realization that a scholar will die for his confidant.It turned out that scholars were able to give generously to righteousness because of this feeling.

"Your Majesty used his own strength to calm down the troubled times. To return the world to a bright and bright world, the merits will last forever. Now Chu is thriving, and there is only one step left to unify Kyushu. We are Huaxia and Chu people. When the country is in trouble, stand up and stand up. It's only natural."

Suddenly someone spoke.It was the man in his thirties who had paid attention to the protons of the Ten Kingdoms in the South just now.

"Well said. Although Gu is the Son of Heaven, the country belongs to everyone. As long as the country is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone can develop with peace of mind." Kou Feng glanced at the man appreciatively, nodded and said.

Kou Feng is instilling the concept of the country in the merchants, so that they can form a group, and when they open up wasteland in Southeast Asia, they can help each other and act as one.

Dig out the money of those barbarian natives.It is best to take root and thrive in Southeast Asia.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. Caomin just thinks it should be so." The man said modestly.

"Okay, it should be like this." Kou Feng's eyes became more appreciative when he heard this, and then he looked at the man carefully.

From conversation to responsiveness, this guy is not easy.After Kou Feng looked at it carefully for a while, he felt that it was not easy.

Why are businessmen in this era looked down upon?There is a reason for that, even the largest merchants are mostly full of copper stink.

On the contrary, the gentry are different. Their family education is generally very good.Outstanding appearance, elegant conversation, very good temperament.And this guy in front of him doesn't seem to be a businessman.

"You are?" Kou Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, the Caomin is Li Hui from Nanzhou." Li Hui said very respectfully upon hearing this.

"Li Hui?"

Kou Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then a record came to mind.Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are many outstanding people who can be remembered.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all famous.

But there are also some people who are not well-known, but have made great contributions to the country.Li Hui is one of them.If he Kou Feng did not appear.

Li Hui should be the governor of the southern military and government during Liu Bei's period, as the governor.Then Meng Huo rebelled, and Li Hui led his troops to connect with Zhuge Liang and carry out a conquest.

At the end of the war, Li Hui contributed the most.Among the Shu Han, an indispensable general guarding one side.Most people don't know Li Hui, but because Kou Feng is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, he knows.

This guy is actually a businessman?

Just because he knew it, Kou Feng was even more surprised.Li Hui should be from a noble family, so why did he become a businessman?

"Li Hui? I've heard of you before, so you don't seem to be a businessman?" With Kou Feng's current status, he naturally asked as much as he wanted, so he naturally expressed his doubts.

The businessmen next to him looked at Li Hui with envy and hatred. Just now Li Hui stepped forward and won the praise of Kou Feng, which made many people jealous.

Listening to Kou Feng now, he seems to have heard of Li Hui.Now we meet again.If he can talk to Kou Feng calmly and well, he might be able to soar into the sky.

In terms of the current national strength of Chu State, it really has soared into the sky.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am indeed not a businessman. However, I heard that Your Majesty issued an order to sell the craftsmanship of Chu Shu, and my heart was moved. I scattered my family wealth and came to Chengdu."

Li Hui said.

Li Hui was originally a son of a large family in Nanzhong. He was an official in his early years, but he was a minor official.As recorded in the history books, the talent is not bad.

However, there was no way to meet Kou Feng. He happened to hear that Kou Feng sold Chu book manufacturing techniques, and he guessed that the state treasury of Chu State might not be full.

Therefore, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he spent all his wealth and came to Chengdu, intending to get this opportunity to meet Kou Feng.

After listening to Li Hui's words, Kou Feng could guess the result.Sometimes it is difficult to find talents, but sometimes it is also difficult to find talents.

Nanzhou has just been established, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt.Dong He, the governor of Nanzhou, made many achievements in the local area.As for the selection of talents, the recommendation was obviously not busy.

Therefore, Li Hui was neglected.

Now Li Hui did not choose to go into seclusion, but to strive for the top, relying on his own ability to find an opportunity to meet him, he really has perseverance.

Knowing Li Hui's ability, Kou Feng loves money in his heart.

"I have a heart." However, in the end, Kou Feng did not answer immediately, but nodded and said three words.

But these three words are more important to Li Hui than any praise.This means that he has a certain impression in Kou Feng's heart.

He dissipated his family property and went north, and he succeeded.

"Your Majesty." Li Hui's eyes were filled with excitement, and he deeply admired him.

Kou Feng nodded, then raised his head and said, "That's the end of the story. Next, you send the gold to the official residence of Da Si Nong Mi Zhu. After calculation, Gu will immediately issue an edict to enshrine you as Da Si Nong." Master Shu, I will give you Chu Shu's forging technology as a reward for your achievements."

"Besides this, I have another important matter that I want to discuss with you."

Finally, Kou Feng said again.

Originally, when the merchants heard that Kou Feng finally spoke, they canonized them as the eldest.They were very excited in their hearts, and Kou Feng said that there were still important matters to discuss with them.

The merchants became even more excited, because they realized that what Chu Tianzi wanted to discuss with them was definitely not simple.And after Chu Shu, it must be the finale.

what is it?

Everyone was guessing, but Li Hui was the only one who vaguely guessed that it might be related to the protons of the Ten Kingdoms in front of him.

"Cultural invasion and commercial plundering have begun in full swing."

Kou Feng smiled slightly in his heart, a little pleased.Perhaps, by taking advantage of this wind, Chu State can step into Southeast Asia and have a direct influence.
