Country and Beauty

Like a sulky little daughter-in-law, Zhu Xuan bowed his head so low that it was about to touch the ground. He kneeled on the ground, not daring to even breathe. Hearing Zhuge Qingyun's orders, he immediately responded. Zhao Xuan was Zhuge Qingyun's spokesperson on the ground. Actually, he was just a servant. Don't look at how arrogant he was in front of the five, but in front of Zhuge Qingyun, he did not dare to show any sign of dissatisfaction.

Zhuge Qingyun's face turned sinister, his eyes flashed for a moment, and gradually revealed a bit of killing intent, he laughed coldly: "Although there is no news, do you think I can't see through it? Just last month, I received news that the Liaodong had suddenly changed and that Ba Shu was always safe and sound. Now that he has suddenly dispatched a large group of ambassadors, it is no wonder that he was trying to win over those clan leaders … "

Zhuge Qingyun turned around and sat on the main seat. A beautiful young lady with brows like a distant mountain, eyes like autumn water, beautiful and unapproachable, wearing a set of noble and pressing clothes, he was truly like a fairy from the heavens. However, this fairy was wearing a fur coat, standing in the living room that was as warm as spring and seemed to be in the early summer.

The woman was called Liu Lian'er, she was Zhuge Qingyun's concubine. Although Zhuge Qingyun was furious at the moment, he would definitely not vent his anger on Liu Lian'er. As long as it was a man, no one would give vent to their anger, and as long as they didn't offend him, they would be safe. Otherwise, how could the serious old man Kong say in such a headache that a woman is "not bad at close range, but angry at far distance …" What about the emotional animals? This great scholar was clearly more than knowledgeable and lacked emotional intelligence. His relationship with men and women was a little uneven, so he grumbled resentfully.

Zhuge Qingyun's fury was immediately extinguished by Liu Lian'er. Seeing Liu Lian's burning gaze, Zhuge Qingyun and Liu Lian both looked at each other and laughed. Something seemed to have happened, and if Ming Xuan continued to stay here, it would be a bit inappropriate. waved his hand: "You can go down first, and find out the real intentions of the envoy of the Qin State, there is no scope for no rules, and tell Ke Qian, normally I would indulge him too much, and if she has the Heaven's Eyes in his hands, it would be like a decoration, I don't mind changing someone else to be the boss!"

Regardless of whether it was Zhuge Qingyun or the empress who was in Chang An, both of them were figures that stood at the very peak of the "Floating Dragon Palace". With just a movement of his pinky, they could make him disappear, and it would be for the best if he could hide even a little further.

After Xuan Xuan withdrew himself, Zhuge Qingyun rubbed his swollen head and felt helpless. From the moment Xie Fei took charge of the entire Cyan Plains by himself and then suddenly taking out the banner of the Winged Dragon Hall to becoming the overlord of the north, it could be predicted that unifying the world was just around the corner. The Illusionary Sect had invested a huge amount into Xie Fei, but they had all reclaimed the benefits that they had given, so what about him? Not only did he not gain any benefits, he was restrained everywhere. Even Simayan had tried his best to kill Chu Feng, but he hadn't done anything to the Hidden Sect.

There was no hope of entering the imperial court. The land was forcefully taken back, and the tens of thousands of soldiers hidden in the shadows had no choice but to disband and return to the fields. Although Zhuge Qingyun's army and Zhuge Liang's army were two completely different things, after all, this was power that Zhuge Qingyun relied on to protect himself. Without these flying soldiers, he, Zhuge Qingyun, would be a meat on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

Zhuge Qingyun had no intention to grasp politics, he only wanted to let the Zhuge Family flourish. As a businessman, he hoped to make a lot of money and have a strength that others could not have. One could protect themselves in troubled times, and one could become a master of men in times of great glory. But now all this was like a reflection in a mirror. Back then, how powerful was the Jin State? She destroyed Ba Shu, annihilated the Tung Wu, and unified the world. However, after only three generations, the entire Jiang Shan had become dismembered. What Zhuge Qingyun wanted to do was the musician behind the scenes who beat up the rich and beat up the heroes. I will not be the boat at the top of the wave, I will only be the wave at the peak of your spine. This was exactly the experience gained from living in the Hidden Dragon Hall for the past hundred years.

According to the information given by the Heaven's Eyes, not only did the Qin State open the Western Merchant Road, they were also preparing to open the Sea Merchant Road. As long as these two trading routes were opened, one could foresee the source of the money rolling in. This was not a situation where the Yang Family monopolized the Western Merchant Road, which was not a situation that Xie Fei was willing to see, so he secretly supported the eight great merchants to fight against the Yang Family.

Zhuge Qingyun secretly clenched his fists, but due to using too much strength, his joints turned a little white. Xie Fei suppressed his clan and extracted a large amount of land that was controlled by his clan, Zhuge Qingyun had no objections. From his understanding of Xie Fei, he was a hero, he would not let his future generations solve the hidden dangers, this was something that would rather be broken into pieces than to lose everything. Now, even the hereditary valve did not have the power to fight against Xie Fei anymore. This way, Xie Fei could concentrate his royal power and ensure peace in the world.

Chaos was not a fertile ground for the development of the family. On the contrary, they wanted to live in peace and prosperity. But they don't have the power to dictate the local government right now. However, because Xie Fei had taken measures to buy them off, all the families had a large amount of wealth. If this wealth was used well, it could benefit the country and the people. If it was not used well, there would be a risk of backlash.

Looking at Zhuge Qingyun's dark and uncertain face, he looked at times happy, then worried, and then gloomy and cold. For the first time, Liu Lian`er felt that she didn't have the connections to the person who slept next to her.

"Old master, old master!"

"Ha ha!" Zhuge Qingyun laughed at the sky, "Sima Chi is a piece of mud that can never support the wall, and is even more unbearable than that Liu Ah Dou. Originally, I planned to head east and use the power of the Hidden Dragon Palace to help him fight against Xie Fei, but after thinking about it carefully, it is impossible."

"Xie Fei can start from scratch and become the overlord of the north. What about Sima Chi? Now, with the entire world under his control, he could only linger on the edge of death in Jiangdong. Sima Chi could not be protected, Xie Fei was not a match for him. Right now, we can only take advantage of this situation. " Zhuge Qingyun muttered. At this time, he seemed to be a little unconscious, and also like he had some sort of demon sickness.

Liu Lian er was a little afraid of Zhuge Qingyun, his martial arts skills were few and far between, his hands could break stone and his sword skills had reached perfection. If he went crazy, he would be the first one to suffer.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Qingyun became even more determined to win.

Chengdu Taibai Restaurant, Taibai Restaurant and the history, poetry and immortal had nothing to do with it for the time being. The Taibai here refers to Taibai Jinxing from ancient Chinese mythology. As a diplomat of the Jade Emperor, Taibai Jinxing was one of the core members of the Daoist Sect below the Three Purities. He was a saint who monitored the good and evil of the world and stood guard over the heavens. Chengdu Taibai Restaurant was a three-storey building with a height of 38 feet, sitting in the north and facing south. It had 128 rooms and symbolized 128 constellations in the sky. Arch eaves, magnificent, is the ancient pavilion style buildings. It was 180 meters long in the east, 13 meters deep in the north and 13 meters in the south, nearly 9 meters tall in the south. It was made of green brick and gray tiles, and was surrounded by verandahs and verandahs. It covered an area of over 7000 square meters.

The Taibai Restaurant in Chengdu was not only a Taoist holy land, but also a restaurant built by Taoists and believers. At the same time, it was also a bridge for merchants to discuss business. The management mode of the Taibai Restaurant was a bit like that of the future generation's membership system, but it was not as strict as the membership system. Not a member. Anyone who has a reserved room here can also have a treat here.

At this moment, the Tower of Taibai was very lively. Guests were arriving from all directions, although it was not the time for meals, most of the parking spaces were already occupied by the carriages and horses.

"Brother Su, I've come all the way for you. Please forgive me. Please come in!" Zu Xuan was also one of the few tycoons in the business world. It was enough for all the merchants to welcome him personally at the entrance.

The Brother Su mentioned by Zhu Xuan was named Su Shu, and he was a descendant of Western Han Dynasty general Su Jian. Su Jian followed the Western Han Dynasty, the generals, the Duling people, with the Academy Officer along with Wei Qing out to fight the Huns, meritorious services, for the Marquis of Pingling. As for Su Wu, son of Su Jian, she was even more famous than her father, because she had sent an envoy to the Huns and had been detained in the North Sea. Since she had been kept at Belga Lake for nineteen years, she had never given in and was regarded as a model of loyalty. After the return of Su Wu, Emperor Han Zhaodi gave him two million gold coins and two pieces of land. This was the source of the Su family's starting point.

Times have changed, and the weather has changed. The glory of the Su family was lost in the long river of history. Su Shu, who was in his fifties, was the chief of the Su family in Qianwei county. Of the twelve counties in Qianwei County, the Su family was the largest family in the area.

This time, the business gathering was very big, all the hereditary valve from Yizhou were all participating, even though it was inconvenient for the patriarch to participate, they all sent out representatives.

It was almost noon, and in the biggest banquet hall of Tai Bai Restaurant, Zhuge Qingyun sat there as he talked confidently.

"The mansions in the hands of the officials have been bought away by the officials. It seems fair business, but in reality, the manors are in our hands every year, but the money is spent less and less. In a few years, how much property can we give to our descendants?"

Every single one of them had thought of the problems that Zhuge Qingyun had mentioned, but they were all powerless against him. Now that the Qin State was powerful, and Xie Fei was also a powerful Emperor, he had formulated a law that they had to follow, otherwise, their heads would fall off. Right now, even if Zhuge Qingyun wanted to ally with all of the hereditary valve to rebel, no one dared to reply.

Right now, they were only going to ask for money. If Zhuge Qingyun really had a method that would be perfect for both sides, they would definitely do it. Thus, everyone was listening very carefully.

Zhuge Qingyun continued, "Right now, there is one way that is perfect for both sides, the Emperor needs to build a powerful and powerful empire, in order to ensure that the citizens of the world can eat, the Emperor can only split the land evenly and bear all the profits and losses, and only collect 10% of the tax per acre per year. This way, more or less everyone will belong to one person. However, food alone is not enough for a country. It also needs cotton, linen cloth, soy sauce, food, and shelter. For the sake of giving a large amount of wealth to the future generations of our family, we can only participate in the economic construction of the Qin State. At the moment, the emperor is extremely short of money, he needs to build the road, fix the water, promote the livelihood of the people, at the same time, he also needs to build up the three schools to nurture the various talents that the Qin State needs. However, the money that the officials possess is exactly what the emperor lacks the most, and the resources that the officials do not have.

In fact, we can only earn one or two silver coins a year for farming, and even if we farm well, it would only be a little over ten thousand silver coins. Back in the days, Young's An Ping was just a small merchant, and we all know how much wealth he had, even if he was a lord, he is not as powerful as Yang Zhi, but what about now? "In order to get a dyeing workshop, the Yang family took out 3 million silver in one go. It is said that the profit from this workshop can be recovered in at most 5 years."

When they heard this, the representatives of the various families exclaimed in surprise. They were all whispering to each other.

Zhuge Qingyun took a sip of the tea and continued, "We can follow the example of how Prime Minister Cao was back in Xu Du, cooperating with the government. We will contribute money and the government will build all kinds of infrastructure, if the government does not have the money to pay us, they will take salt and iron as compensation."

In order to carry out the system of farming in history, Cao Cao did not have a large amount of land to do the farming, so the government rented out the land of the landlord and then divided it up with the landlord. This was the earliest period of a public-private partnership in history.

All the hereditary valve s were worried about one issue, which was that in the future, their children or grandchildren might not be able to get a living. Right now, what they cared about the most was how they could use the money they had in their hands to make money again.

Nearly a hundred Great hereditary valve s were the most enthusiastic about the problem at hand. Zhuge Qingyun continued to ask, "However? In the end, one person's power is limited, only the leader of the group is able to display his power, and only when all the great clans of Yizhou join hands, will we be able to bargain with the Shangguan Family. "

Su Lu said in puzzlement: "But the most important thing is that all of our great clans are united, so what? "We don't have anyone in the imperial court, but the Yang family has an imperial concubine?"

"Ha ha!" Zhuge Qingyun could not help but laugh out loud. Is the imperial concubine remarkable? Our Zhuge family has another queen! "In terms of seniority, the Empress is my cousin, while I am also my uncle. Even my uncle Yang Ziqian would have to respectfully sing a word of promise when he sees me."

Everyone was aware that Zhuge Mingyue was the Queen of Qin State, but no one thought that they would actually be related to the Zhuge family in Brazil. The Zhuge family in Brazil was originally just a small family, if it weren't for Yu Xuan, they wouldn't even have come to Chengdu. If they knew that Zhu Xuan was just a big shopkeeper who was being pushed onto the stage by Zhuge Qingyun, who knew what they would think.

Let alone withdrawing their privileges, even if they did not, they would not dare to put on airs in front of the imperial uncle. Now, everyone's attitude immediately changed.

"This commoner is willing to serve the Imperial Uncle!" Su Lu immediately expressed his loyalty.

"Uncle Guo is a kind-hearted man who worries about the nation. This humble commoner will naturally go in and out of the country together with Sir Guo!" Deyang's big shot Pan Wei also expressed his opinion.

At that moment, half of the people were willing to form an alliance, but they had agreed on the terms of the alliance, forming the first monopolistic business alliance in history, the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, which was also the prototype of a modern enterprise.

They formed a board of directors that replaced the Elders Guild as the future generation, with Zhuge Qingyun as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Su Shu and Zhu Xuan as the head of the company, and Jiang Yang as the leader.

"Haha!" "If you are really sleepy, someone will send you a pillow." When Xie Fei received the greeting letter from the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, the depressed feeling in his heart was swept away. As a post-generation person, of course, he understood the significance of the public-private partnership. The new China was the first public-private partnership in 1956, which created the industrial base of the new China. The Art of Emperor. Right now, the Yang family controlled a large number of business channels. If one day the Yang family had a bad intention, the economy of Qin State would be paralyzed. The best way was to support a large number of enterprises to compete with the Yang family, which could promote the development of the economy.

As the intelligence agency of the imperial guards, the Postmaster General was the biggest authority in the imperial guards. The relay stations were the various information stations under the imperial guards. Xie Tian accepted Xie Fei's offer and allowed the imperial guards to take the lead to establish a car shop that would connect to the entire country, using a nearly modern logistics mode to manage it.

Receiving a response from the imperial government, Zhuge Qingyun was clearly a little disappointed. However, Wang Cheng continued, "Sir Imperial Uncle, the carriages and horses are driven by commoners, they are just a staple food. If you want to drive a horse carriage, you will have to make great progress in your wealth, and you will have to fight for money every day. If ordinary citizens open a carriage, you can't go far, your power is limited, and your stock is limited. But it was different for the Imperial Uncle. Once this carriage shop opened, who in the government officials of all levels would dare to think of hogging a carriage shop? We can also send grain and grass to the border, cure salt and salt in Huaiyang, peddle cloth to Wu Yue, transport tea in the river and Shu, sell porcelain in the river and Huaihe, south to the north, the car is not empty, the car and horse to that is a flowing galaxy ah. The best silk in the Jiangdong is only worth a tael of silver each. When it is delivered to Chang An, it would cost 6 taels of silver and then 20 taels of silver in the Western Regions. This is 20 times the profit. "

Zhuge Qingyun originally thought that Xie Fei was just finding a random reason to send him away, but he didn't think that Xie Fei would still care about relationships a little. Thinking back, was actually his own cousin, if she didn't help him, who would she help?

Wang Cheng continued, "Uncle Guo, let's talk about opening a carriage shop to transport passengers. If they want to eat or drink, they need to sleep, right? Didn't the tavern need it? We can build ourselves along the way, so as not to let the fat water fall into the fields of outsiders. They're looking for women to gamble with along the way, right? Then we won't let go of the brothel, all of these things have the spirit of debauchery. It would be best if Imperial Uncle came forward, we could just take over all the relay stations under the post office, Great Qin officials coming here and there, eating and living here are a lot of expenses, if we take over the relay stations, we can just take over a money tree! "

Two months after the establishment of the Yizhou Merchant Guild, the Xuzhou Merchant Guild was also established, followed by the Lou's taking the lead to establish the State Merchant Guild. The big merchant guild also had their own small merchant guild, they were all staring at the big cake built in the economy of Qin State. Xie Fei snickered in his heart, "Only by abducting all these hereditary valve in their chariots would they not cause themselves to feel unhappiness, and only then would they spare no effort to support themselves. Only by being on the same level as them will we be able to develop at a faster and better rate. "

Xie Fei's true purpose was to turn these original companies of the merchant guilds into monopolies of the world, acting as lackeys when he was really going to expand.

It was July right at the time of the Pirate State's earthquake, but at this time, the Qin State's expedition fleet, which consisted of 47 battleships, 100 multi-purpose ships, and 300 transport ship s majestically arrived at the Southern Ocean Road.

On top of a huge battleship that was flying a Crimson Gold-Dragon Flag, there was a person wearing a big red cape and a three-pointed crown. His appearance was very flashy, but also very flashy. The young general of Jade Forest Wind stood on the bow of the ship. This group of people were not outsiders, the young general was not Zhou Yang. Instead, it was Shui Ruyan who disguised herself as a man, and the other was Heng Yuanzuoyu. A stiff voice said, "Boss."

Shui Ruyan frowned.

Heng Yuanzuoyu quickly changed his words, "Royal Consort

"En!" Shui Ruyan scoffed coldly, scaring Heng Yuanzuoyu to death. Even though Shui Ruyan was a delicate beauty, as the leader of several thousand water squid s, she was definitely not some kind girl. She could not do it without tactics, and it was even worse if she was not ruthless.

"Reporting to the general." At most, they would reach Tuso in four hours. Tuso City was about thirty miles from the coast. In the past, Tuso City was controlled by the famous Shimamoto Michaeli, and the Goto Elephant Hero was controlled by Tuso Heroes. The Goto Elephant has more than forty warriors, and during the war he could have mobilized more than a thousand peasants to fight. "

Shui Ruyan said impatiently, "Don't give me that useless nonsense. I'll go to the boat and have a nap first." I want to go to the Subordinate Residence in Tuzo City for dinner at night. As for the rest, I want you to take care of it for me! "
