Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 235 The Importance of Business

The three of them were delighted to receive such praise from Ye Chen.In particular, Ye Chensu was not ashamed of merchants, and valued their abilities so much. Although they would not immediately have the idea of ​​following Ye Chen wholeheartedly, their loyalty to Ye Chen had increased a lot invisibly.

Ye Chen glanced at Jia Xian and the three leaders, and said solemnly: "Brother Jia and the three leaders will further refine the business plan you mentioned just now, and then the three leaders will divide the work according to their respective areas of expertise. Tomorrow morning, our Huaxia Weifu will officially open the office, and then I will personally appoint three officials to dispatch."

Ye Chen sent Jia Xian and the three "Gods of Wealth" away, and he still felt a little excited. What the three leaders said today gave him a big surprise. China has regarded merchants as pariahs since ancient times, but they don't know that business is the most important thing. The most important thing for the prosperity of a country.

Before Ye Chen came up with the idea of ​​monopolizing the car dealership, he just used the car dealership's own business scope to make some money. This was because he was well aware of the profits and potential of the logistics business.He was indeed not as far-sighted as the three leaders thought.

The three leaders are right, as long as they take time and use the power and convenience of the Huaxia Weifu, they can indeed make a lot of money, and at the same time build a huge intelligence network that penetrates every hole.

In addition, the advanced knowledge from later generations made him think of some things that the three capitals could not see.If such a large and convenient transportation network is really established and the resources of the whole country are mobilized, the areas that urgently need these materials can develop rapidly, and the areas that provide resources, due to the convenience of circulation, will be driven by economic interests. To seek greater and better profit-making means.Thereby mobilizing the commercial and economic development of the entire Song Dynasty economy.Of course, this process cannot be effective in a short period of time, but it can produce great power in a slow process.

It's just that the important officials of the two governments and the nobles didn't notice such a large profit at first, but after a long time, they will definitely understand how big the profit is.This will arouse their covetousness sooner or later, and will create many powerful enemies for Huaxia Weifu and Ye Chen.It even aroused the emperor's jealousy and brought himself a murderous disaster.

"This piece of cake is too big. I can't eat it by myself, and neither can the Huaxia Weifu. If that's the case, then pull all possible forces into the water."

"So, from the beginning, you can't eat alone. The Luo family, the Cao family, and the king of Wei can definitely lure them into the group in the form of investment. In addition, Li Jixun, Zhao Zan, Dangjin, and Gao Huaide, these four can also pull them into the water. Among them There are civil servants, generals, nobles, royal families, and maybe even the future emperor. At that time, the interests of these families and the Huaxia Weifu have been linked, and everyone will suffer, even if such giants as Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi Ba, even the Son of Heaven has many scruples if he wants to take action against the Huaxia Weifu." Ye Chen thought to himself.

Ye Chen was so invested in thinking that Li Junhao didn't even notice when he walked in front of him.Li Junhao saw Lord Hou sitting on a chair, staring at the bookshelf, sometimes ecstatic, sometimes solemn, sometimes beaming, sometimes frowning in thought, he didn't dare to disturb him, he just walked to the side and waited.

Ye Chen was planning to make a profit when he suddenly felt someone approaching. He looked up and saw that it was Li Junhao, and couldn't help but smiled happily: "Brother Li, you take my warrant now and go to the Royal Courtyard in Xiangfu County outside the city to send the other The courtyard will take over first, and then lead people to start raising preparations. When the Privy Council orders the transfer of the right wing battalion tomorrow morning, we will open the mansion and build the government office, the sooner the better."

Seeing Ye Chen's high spirits, Li Junhao guessed in his heart that the conversation between Lord Hou and the three leaders was not only extremely smooth, but also gained something else.He hurriedly agreed and hurried to go.

After Li Junhao left, Ye Chen decided on his words and immediately went out, planning to go to Luo's family, Cao's family, King Wei, and the four veterans in the army one by one.

In two hours, I ran to seven houses.It didn't take long after this circle, and the goal was achieved, and the investment was also drawn.On average, each family took out at least [-] guan as the investment Ye Chen said.

But Ye Chen didn't like it in his heart, he couldn't help but double the money of these seven families ten times, and then give it to these seven families, look at the dumbfounded expressions of these six old guys and one little guy.

These seven families obviously heard that Ye Chen was going to open a mansion and build a new office, but His Majesty didn't give any money, so they regarded Ye Chen as someone who came here to borrow money.As for Ye Chen's rhetoric that they will earn at least [-] guan in one year, and at least five times in two years, these people didn't take it seriously at all.For example, this kind of yamen established by Ye Chen has existed since ancient times. I have never heard of this kind of yamen that can make money. In fact, everyone thinks that if the Huaxia Weifu established by Ye Chen wants to make contributions, the money spent will be A bottomless pit.But now that the Song Dynasty has been using troops abroad for years and is short of money, no one is optimistic about Ye Chen's Huaxia Weifu.

For example, Han Hu, the commander of the Right Wing Army who was about to lead his [-] troops into the Huaxia Weifu, was like this, especially when his colleagues looked at him gloatingly, he felt even more depressed.If it wasn't for Ye Chen's current prestige enough, and several big men in the army had a good relationship with Ye Chen, he would have nowhere to look for relationships, and he would have already thought of a way to get rid of this unfortunate job.

For Han Hu, Ye Chen naturally went through a detailed investigation. In fact, Cao Bin helped Ye Chen choose Han Hu from the imperial army.Han Hu has always had military exploits, he is famous for his stability in wars, he is also extremely prudent in his work, his mind is careful, and he does not belong to any faction of Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi or other big men in the court, so he has a clean net worth.

Han Hu, 43 years old, is already a fifth-rank military commander. As long as he is lucky and does not die in the battle against the Southern Han and Southern Tang, and does not make a big mistake, he can at least go further in his lifetime, and even fight for a title.Now that he was transferred to Huaxia Weifu, Han Hu was quite depressed at first, and he was even ready to retire.But Ye Chen took the initiative to meet him, and after some in-depth chats, Han Hu became lively and full of fighting spirit again.

The Huaxia Weifu was established.Everyone in the court paid attention to it, but apart from the personal military salary, the emperor didn't even give the Huaxia Weifu the usual activity funds, which made almost everyone ready to see Ye Chen's jokes.

Tao Gu, Lu Yuqing, and Wang Yuefeng, the three enemies of Ye Chen, were worried that Ye Chen would persuade the emperor to get money, so they secretly contacted and mobilized many civil officials to criticize them. They used the excuse of the next imperial court to fight the Southern Han Dynasty. Huaxiawei has always had extra money, and some people even asked the emperor to take back that royal courtyard too much.But Zhao Kuangyin felt very reasonable and asked Huaxia Weifu or Ye Chen to spend [-] yuan to buy the other courtyard.Of course, the money can only be owed first.

For a while, Tao Gu, Lu Yuqing, and Wang Yuefeng were very excited, but they didn't know that this was just a private transaction between Ye Chen and the emperor. Zhao Kuangyin started from the Jinyang salt production, and then continued to tooth powder, toothbrush, mahjong, and Yongle Hall. With the recent "half-dead maze" and amusement maze, he has already had a deep understanding of Ye Chen's ability to make money, so he has never been very worried about the lack of money in Huaxia Weifu.

Ye Chen entered the palace yesterday afternoon to give officials and ranks to a few of his subordinates who will be reused in the next step.By the way, Zhao Kuangyin extorted 30 guan from Ye Chen.Ye Chen pushed the boat smoothly, and finally said: "If your majesty trusts me, you might as well put the [-] guan in the Huaxia Weifu for two years, and after two years, I will hand over [-] guan to your majesty." Zhao Kuangyin agreed, so the news spread That's it.But Ye Chen regarded this matter as an unexpected gain, because it was also a muddleheaded way to drag the emperor into trouble.

The Royal Courtyard is composed of a courtyard covering an area of ​​[-] mu and nearly [-] mu of imperial land.Li Junhao worked quickly, leading the three thousand beggars from the Southern Gang to level the courtyard in one afternoon.Those that should be kept are kept, and those that should not be pushed directly to the ground.

At the meeting of opening the government and building the government, Ye Chen stood on the stage, and there were three people standing under the stage.

In the middle is the [-] Forbidden Army, led by Han Hu, who is in good spirits, but the [-] Forbidden Army led by him lined up below the stage, although the fierce aura rushed towards his face, showing the background of an elite soldier, but his expression was a little listless.

On the left are the core gang members of the Five Hundred South Gang. The formation is lazy, but all of them are full of energy and look capable.Li Junhao and Xu Fangyi stood at the front.

The one on the right has the least number of people, only 120 and seven people. The formation is more lazy, and the clothes are even more strange. But each of them has bright eyes, a stern look, and a dangerous aura exuding from their bodies.

They are the masters of the rivers and lakes who were left behind by the 'half-dead labyrinth', and they all signed a contract with Ye Chen to work for the Huaxia Weifu for three years, and after three years they want to stay voluntarily.

This contract can be effectively implemented, and there is no need to worry about the 120 seven people mutinying or fleeing, and they can still serve Huaxiawei wholeheartedly.Depends on two factors.

One is naturally the reputation of Ye Chen's promise, but more importantly, it is the poison that the ghost doctor gave everyone.This kind of poison usually does not affect everything about them, including the use of martial arts and normal life.But it will relapse once a year. When relapse, you must take the special antidote made by the ghost doctor, otherwise you will die a miserable and painful death.The contract clearly states that as long as they serve Ye Chen wholeheartedly for three years, not only will they take the antidote regularly, but after three years, no matter whether they want to leave or stay, they will be completely detoxified.

In fact, there is one person in front of the 120 seven people.This person is Bai Canghai.It took Ye Chen a lot of effort to convince Bai Canghai to join Huaxia Wei.

It was Bai Canghai who was in the process of breaking through the maze, and Ye Chen entered the maze. After some persuasion was about to fail, he used Bai Canghai to spend three days and three nights to break through the maze, but he still failed to break through. Wanting to know the special timing of how to break through the maze, he made a deal with Bai Canghai by using the way to break through the maze, and Bai Canghai finally agreed to Ye Chen to join the Huaxia Weifu in a daze.
