Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Your Majesty needs me to wait, please feel free to speak, I will definitely be terrified." Because of Kou Feng's tolerance for the businessman, many people's blood boiled, and some people expressed it when their foreheads became hot.

"Yes, we must be heartbroken." Not only one, but also others echoed.

"Hehe, Gu understands everyone's innocence. However, let's first hear what Gu said about it." Kou Feng said with a slight smile when he saw this.

He didn't take it seriously, because Kou Feng knew that these people were still businessmen in essence, and their enthusiasm for a while might make them feel overwhelmed, but it certainly wouldn't last long.

Only the link of interests will keep the passion of businessmen going.

"Please tell me, Your Majesty, I'll be all ears." Li Hui took the lead and said.

"Most of you should know that Gu sent troops to the south and wiped out Meng Huo. You should also know that Gu also gained ten allies in addition to destroying Meng Huo. They are the Ten Kingdoms in the South."

As he spoke, Kou Feng glanced up at the crowd, and all he saw were calm expressions. Obviously, this group of people were well-informed, and they knew almost everything he said.

"However, I'm afraid you don't know that the ten southern countries have become the vassals of Chu. Moreover, the heads of the ten countries have promised to do business with Chu." Kou Feng said with a slight smile.

"Trade?" After hearing Kou Feng's words, some people's eyes lit up, while others showed disdain. Businessmen will show great interest in unknown markets, but there are also businessmen who don't care much about the so-called ten southern countries. up.After all, it is a barren land, so there are no business opportunities.

Kou Feng also knew this, but he had a way to impress the merchants.

"These ten are envoys from the ten countries in the south. They admire Chu State, so they stayed in Chu State to study rites and music." Kou Feng said, pointing to the envoys beside him.

The merchants smiled kindly at Tai Tuo, Qing Ao and the others.And Tai Tuo, Qing Ao and others also smiled at the merchants, and the two sides have met each other.

"Gu has reached an agreement with the kings of the ten southern countries, and the two sides will work together to open a road to the south." Kou Feng smiled slightly after seeing the two parties salute.

Immediately, he gestured to the servant next to him.The waiter understood and walked out immediately.After a while, the servant led a few soldiers in, and the soldiers held a screen in their hands.

The screen is quite large, as high as two people and wide as one.On it are the state of Chu and a general map of Southeast Asia.This is the outline drawn by Kou Feng relying on his memory, and then the relevant officials were asked to draw a relatively inferior map after calculation.

However, some clues can already be seen from the map.

The state of Chu is very big, very big.And Southeast Asia is no smaller than Chu.

Seeing this screen, most of the businessmen showed a blank look, only a few showed shock, and Li Hui's eyes flashed brightly, full of surprise.

Kou Feng smiled slightly, stood up and came to the side of the map, pointed to Chu State on the top and said, "This is the Chu State." Then, he stretched his hand down and pointed to Southeast Asia.

Said: "This is the area where the ten southern countries are located. However, the ten southern countries are nothing compared to the entire area. There are many other natives and tribes. The area is extremely vast."

As he spoke, Kou Feng raised his head to observe the faces of the merchants.What made him gratified was that with a direct geographical comparison, the merchants discovered that the Southeast Asian region was no worse than Chu.

They all showed interest.

"You also know that although the south is poor, it can produce gold, gems, pearls, emeralds, ivory and other valuables. In this vast area, there are countless. You can definitely buy it at a cheap price, and then Transporting it back to the state of Chu will benefit a thousand times.”

As he said that, Kou Feng showed some smiles on his face, and said: "I even said that you don't need to buy from them at all. You only need to bring the advanced daily necessities of Chu State, such as porcelain, bronzes, and some handicrafts, etc. to the south. It can be exchanged for the same amount of gold, emeralds, gems and other valuables."

"And the price you pay for these is to pay a little tariff to Chu State and the ten countries in the south. Of course, the tariff is not free. As long as you pay the tariff, you will have a guide. As long as you hold the guide, no matter what No matter how far it is, the armies of Chu State and the ten southern countries will send troops to help you. Help you tide over the difficulties."

Finally, Kou Feng promised.

Kou Feng opened up Southeast Asia, mainly for Chu's development of Southeast Asia, and to spread Chinese culture, so that later emperors could conquer and conquer.

However, it is not impossible for Kou Feng to earn some military expenses during this period.

Tariffs, of course, have to be handled.If a large number of Chu merchants flooded into Southeast Asia, the trade volume would be astonishing.The tax that can be collected is also extremely amazing.

Moreover, the customs seal is not for nothing, just like what Kou Feng promised just now, if the caravan encounters difficulties in Southeast Asia, the Chu [***] team will definitely support it.

And at any cost.Bloody conflicts are inevitable in the early days, after all, they are indigenous barbarians.However, Kou Feng believed that as long as the army slaughtered a few tribes, no one would bully the businessmen of Chu.

After the situation stabilized, Kou Feng could wait to collect the money.

Following Kou Feng's words one after another, the eyes of the merchants became brighter and brighter.In the past, although merchants knew that the south was larger, they had no idea until today, when Kou Feng pointed out that the south was even bigger than the state of Chu.

The businessmen were impulsive.

Big means that there is a lot of production, a lot.

Although the south is poor, there are many treasures.

Strange to say, that treasure can neither be eaten nor used.But there are people who like it.It is very valuable and can be sold for a good price.More production means a bigger market and sustainable development.

Decades, hundreds of years?More than that.From ancient times to the present, there are also thousands of years.But I didn't see Huaxia's gold being dug up.What a great wealth this is.

Thinking about the situation of the mountains of gold and silver, the merchants trembled with excitement.

Then, Kou Feng assured them that they were intercepted and hurt by the natives.When the army of Chu State will unite with the armies of the ten southern countries to rescue.

The excitement of the merchants could no longer be stopped.

Living in the state of Chu, they clearly knew the strength of the Chu army, and it was easy for the barbarians to deal with the natives.

In this way, even safety is guaranteed.

As the saying goes, [-]% interest can make people take risks.What's more, it may be a thousand percent interest.

The eyes of the merchants were blood red.

"No matter what you think, I will still do this business with you. You only need to pay one thousand gold, and you can get the production technology of Chushu and the title of Dashuchang. In addition, the development of the south, three Two days later, the Orphan Council will announce the amount of tariffs, and you should also consider during this period whether you want to develop south and make a fortune from the south."

Finally, Kou Feng laughed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Many businessmen really need some time to think about it. Although the benefits are enviable, the habits of the businessmen are still relatively cautious.

Seeing what Kou Feng said, they naturally wished for it.

"Okay, wait a minute, the senior minister Mi Zhu will hand over to you. Gu will take a step first." Kou Feng got up and said, and then Kou Feng said to Li Hui: "Mr. Li comes with Gu."

"Promise." Li Hui was overjoyed when he heard the words, promised, and followed immediately.

This made many businessmen extremely jealous, because they knew that Li Hui had already embarked on an official career, and with the emperor Kou Feng personally leading the way, the road ahead was flat.

"Send off Your Majesty." I was extremely jealous, but the merchants gave Kou Feng the priority.

Respectfully sent off by the merchants, Kou Feng led Li Hui out.

Soon, Kou Feng got into the chariot and returned to Chu Palace.On the chariot, Kou Feng was full of smiles.For a long time, Kou Feng had the intention to open up the southeast, but he was powerless. After all, Cao Cao still existed in the north.

Now, borrowing the influence of merchants, they are developing to the south.So as to spread culture and open up roads.Kou Feng believes that in a few decades, Southeast Asia will become Chu's back garden.

Today, not only more than [-] merchants were accepted, a total of more than [-] gold.After solving the small financial troubles, a large force of merchants was dispatched to open up Southeast Asia.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Kou Feng was naturally in a good mood.

As for the reason for bringing Li Hui, Kou Feng did not want to bury the talent.It's a pity that an important minister in the history of Shu Han was buried like this.

In addition, Kou Feng also planned to add a deputy to Zhuge Liang.

After all, when Kou Feng asked Zhuge Liang to guard the south, he did not expect the situation to develop so quickly.It can lead merchants to enter Southeast Asia on a large scale.

Zhuge Liang's own pressure must have doubled.Therefore, it is also very practical to add a deputy to Zhuge Liang.

Soon, Kou Feng's chariot entered the palace.In the rear, Li Hui, who was following in a car, was very excited. This is the core of Chu State.

Soon after entering the palace, the group arrived at a side hall.Kou Feng led Li Hui in.Kou Feng went straight to the throne and sat down.

"Mister may have guessed Gu's intentions?"

After kneeling down, Kou Feng asked with a smile.

"Open up avenues of wealth and prosper the state of Chu." Li Hui clasped his fists and said.

"Create new ways of making money and prosper the state of Chu." After hearing this, Kou Feng nodded unconsciously. Li Hui's ability to understand this was enough to show his talent, but he underestimated him too much.

"This is just one of them. The most important thing is that I want to develop the southeast. I want to prepare for the conquest of the southeast by future generations." Kou Feng's eyes flashed, and he said word by word.

Li Hui immediately opened his eyes wide, looking at Kou Feng in disbelief.

It turns out that whether it is supporting the ten southern countries or making a decision, it is only a superficial phenomenon to let businessmen flood into the southeast.The real purpose is actually to devour the southeast.

However, immediately Li Hui felt his blood boil.In the past, no one could understand how vast the south is, and only thought it was barren mountains and bad waters.

But Kou Feng's map clearly told them.The vastness of the southeast is not smaller than that of Kyushu.If it can be developed and conquered.

That is the achievements of the ages.

Li Hui's blood boiled with enthusiasm.
