Chapter 759 Flowing Gold

A businessman's sense of smell is the keenest, and although things like information have no feet, they run faster than things with feet.

During the period of the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, it was originally the most bleak situation for merchants.But Dongyue in the first year of Xingping was completely different.The news of the Ma family attracting investment and reopening the Western Regions spread to every corner of Dahan.Moreover, I heard that in order to ensure safety, the invincible Ma's army sent troops to escort them. Such a good thing immediately broke the door of Chang'an's household division.

Today, there is no merchant in the fourteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty who does not know that the Ma family is the most tolerant prince in dealing with business.Even, its tolerance has almost reached the point of encouragement.

Who doesn't know that the Ma family has a light tax insurance policy?Who doesn't know that the Ma family itself is a huge consortium?Who doesn't know that the Patriarch of the Ma family, that demon god who kills people without batting an eyelid, has a golden light shining in his eyes when he talks about "money", exactly the same as those old fritters in the mall?
Those merchants who have cooperated with or heard of the Ma family know that the Ma family only accepts five baht in addition to their supernatural powers! !
What the merchants are afraid of is being cheated. The Ma family's tradition of only accepting five baht has given the merchants great confidence.Because in this era, the government that uses Wuzhuqian is the government that is trustworthy. The government's method of taking back a Wuzhuqian and re-melting it into "a hundred times a thousand" is really terrible.In the blink of an eye, a wealthy businessman can become penniless.What businessmen are looking for is a word of profit. For profit, they can run without their lives.But if you run around and end up being slaughtered by the government like a fattened pig, that would be a great injustice.

In fact, the princes of all parties treat merchants with such a rude concept.Only the Ma family, under the strict hierarchy of 'scholars, farmers, businessmen', resisted the pressure of public opinion, and implemented an attitude of treating everyone equally.

Moreover, when a merchant chooses the Ma family, in addition to being able to earn money safely, he can also achieve a height that is difficult for a merchant to reach in a lifetime: being cordially received by Liu Yue, the princess of the Han Dynasty.It is even possible to receive the honor and integrity business card issued by the Ma family!

That gold medal is a well-known name in Dahan's entire business circle: the gold medal awarded by Princess Dahan herself, with such glory and status, can it be compared with those small businesses? !

Needless to say, the local merchants under the Ma family ruled. After receiving the news, they simply took out the speed of dogs grabbing shit.Merchants from other places are also afraid that they will not be able to grab the hot ones, so they rushed to Chang'an regardless of the cold winter wind: to go to the Western Regions where money is everywhere, and Ma Jiajun will personally form a team to escort, there is no risk, only a large sum of money is here Wave to yourself! !

In less than a month, the number of merchants who came to sign up and pay the fee has reached a thousand.The merchants who can hand over [-] yuan are naturally big households. Although some people are under the rule of the Ma family, it is obvious that their family background is very weak. This time, their performance is a bit too much, which shows that they have not been "rich" for a long time. Naturally, there are people behind to support it.

In this regard, after Ma Chao ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials to conduct a thorough investigation, those merchants with the Ma family's official background were severely eliminated: Although the Ma family wanted to develop rapidly, power and wealth must not be linked together.Otherwise, to put it mildly, commercial disputes such as corruption and bribery and illegal competition will arise.And if it gets bigger, it is more likely to cause the rapid degeneration of this era!
Ma Chao always keeps in mind that integrity and development must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be strong.A double harvest of spiritual and material is the real progress and development.

For a while, under Ma Chao's busy day and night to guide the program, bold reforms, and all the good officials and capable people in the Ma family who forgot to sleep and eat, and worked hard, Chang'an City gradually became lively, and there were more and more people from other places. Later, some people, Obviously has a Central Plains or Jiangnan accent.There are also many Hu merchants who bought houses in Chang'an City, bought properties, and built workshops to recruit people. For a time, the prices of construction craftsmen and textile craftsmen in Chang'an City soared, and even the face price of rice began to rise.

What followed was that under the tolerant policy of the Ma family, those merchants with great powers saw the business opportunities in Chang'an and brought in grain from all over the place.Later, Chang'an really came to life: the local Chang'an people had dozens of acres of fertile land in their hands, and they worked in business in their free time, earning a lot of money.And businessmen from other places, naturally relying on their industries, made a lot of money in Chang'an.Although none of these people had to pay some commercial taxes, the Ma family's commercial taxes were strictly levied and the taxes were very low.Second, there are supervisory agencies that can complain.Everyone felt that Chang'an, a big man's heart, would be able to regain its glory, and it was just around the corner.

At this time in Chang'an, there is no such thing as the east city and the west city.Yes, only commercial and residential areas.That's right, such a division naturally refers to the planning of Fufeng New Town.With the maturity of brick and cement technology, and the influx of a large number of labor.The Ma family paid out of the proceeds and hired tens of thousands of civilians to carry out post-disaster reconstruction work in Chang'an almost without spending a dime or a single soldier.Salary treatment is the first in this era.Many migrant workers did not go home during the Spring Festival.The group of people who came earlier had already made up their minds to settle down in Chang'an.

There are bustling scenes everywhere, and all parties have a bright future.Ma Chao saw the workshops and the houses inflated as if they were blown by the wind.Sometimes he stood on the wall of Weiyang Palace and looked north towards Chang'an, he couldn't believe his eyes: Should we also repair Weiyang Palace after this year?The demolition of Weiyang Palace was so ruthless back then, it was even more bandit than bandit.Now that the Ma family is rich, it's time to talk about ostentation, right?
However, thinking about it is just thinking about it, Ma Chao knows that the Ma family is not yet ready for squandering.In the past six months, everything has just started.In order to fully demonstrate the determination of the Ma family, Ma Chao also issued a document to other prefectures and counties in Chang'an, asking the county officials under the Ma family to take care of the caravan. Except for the officials responsible for taxation, the rest are not allowed to carry out interrogation and tax deductions at will. .Eliminate bandits along the way to ensure their safety.

In Liangzhou, in order to completely open up business routes this year, Ma Chao specially dispatched Su Ze and You Chu to rebuild the Western Region Protectorate.He also stated that he should try not to use force lightly, and that he could take advantage of the opportunity of this caravan to resume business exchanges with countries in the Western Regions. It is already something that many Ma Jiajun are eager to go home for the New Year with military merits.Again, they also want to form a team to escort the caravan.And, I sincerely pray that I meet some thieves who don't have eyes.

The Ma family army is different from any of the princes of the Han Dynasty. They are a professional army built by Ma Chao, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds those of the semi-professional army that farms and fights.However, this time, the veteran soldiers of the Ma family felt a little sad, because the Ma family recruited another [-] new recruits, and after nearly half a year of training, they sent them to escort the caravan in batches.Those veterans who have fought many battles can only get cheap if they don't violate the Ma family's military regulations.

However, apart from the rewards for escorting, those recruits have almost no military merits to earn.The banner of the Majia caravan has already been used by the whole big man, and all the poor thieves, even if they can't celebrate the new year, they dare not touch a hair of the Majia caravan.At the beginning, there were things that were not long-sighted. After an accidental crime, it directly attracted a large number of Ma's troops to encircle and suppress them. They killed the whole area without even a chicken feather, and also implicated other bandits in the same entrenched area...

As for Su Ze and You Chu, they are definitely able to stand alone.You Chu is unconstrained and eclectic in doing things, but Su Ze is people-oriented and sincere and keeps promises.The two joined hands, and the construction of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, like Chang'an, was flourishing day by day.

Of course, the most low-key one this time was Li Zihao's caravan.However, being low-key is low-key, but the value of the sweater delivered by Li Zihao is quite cheap. There are more than 5000 vehicles and goods worth more than 20 billion yuan in total, but when they come back, I am afraid that the value will be doubled: there are many war horses and livestock on the side of the Xiongnu, but what Dahanzhou County needs...the goods will not be empty , making money back and forth, this is the true nature of business.

"I'm so jealous just looking at it." Ma Chao looked at Li Zihao's leaving back, licked his lips and said, "Not much, as long as there are five years, no, three years, the Ma family will definitely become the richest prince in the big man. By then , even if you throw money, you can kill other princes!"

Looking at the caravan, Ma Chao felt as if he saw a flowing river of gold...
