The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

According to the legend, the merchants inside are all extremely rich, and the wealth can rival the wealth of an enemy country.

During the many wars in Yangzhou, the government was unable to continue, and they all borrowed money from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

That's right, the government borrowed money from the chamber of commerce!

Liu Ke can be regarded as a pioneer.

However, this also highlights the strength of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

King Dongyang was able to control such a behemoth, Sun Quan couldn't help asking himself, can he do it?

Sun Quan glanced at Liu Ke in amazement, but couldn't figure it out, how could this king of Dongyang, who was only slightly older than himself, know so much?

Could it be that he is really a person favored by heaven?

Seeing Sun Quan curiously waiting for his explanation, Liu Ke said:

"I don't need to say more about the model of the Chamber of Commerce? You understand it yourself. In your eyes, what is the Chamber of Commerce?"

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "The meaning of the Chamber of Commerce is to unite those scattered merchants."

"no yet?"

Sun Quan thought for a while, and said seriously: "Not anymore."

Liu Ke sighed, in terms of business, Sun Quan's understanding is not very good.

"Buying and selling, isn't it just buying at a low price and selling at a high price? But how to maximize the profit? It's a monopoly!"

"monopoly?"

Sun Quan was confused by the term Liu Ke said, and frowned deeply, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"In the final analysis, the Chamber of Commerce is a monopoly organization."

"What is a monopoly?"

Sun Quan had many doubts, but Liu Ke could only give a brief introduction.

"The ancients called monopoly "dispute". The simplest example is that salt, iron, and tea belong to the government for a long time, which is a monopoly. Because of huge profits, once the country has a financial crisis, in order to subsidize the shortage of national use, it must be prohibited. Discuss the system."

Sun Quan understood a little, but not enough.Because the goods bought and sold by merchants are not just salt and iron tea!

"Controlling prices is also a monopoly. For example, grain merchants, in times of famine, always wait for the price to make huge profits..."

"But it's illegal..."

Sun Quan is considered a smart person, but Liu Ke was still very tired after explaining it.

"If you have time, go to business school to study more. Now the uneducated businessmen in Yangzhou can't get on the stage."

Sun Quan also knew that he had no foundation, and it would be a waste of his time to ask a big man like King Dongyang to explain to him.

At the same time, Sun Quan was also a little uncomfortable!

He is a person who loves to read books and never puts them down.But when he came to Yangzhou, he was a little scared.

Yangzhou is full of knowledge, and I am afraid that I will never finish learning it in my life.

It's a shame.

It can be said that Sun Quan put in a lot of hard work in order to learn arithmetic, and only then did he succeed in his studies.

Now comes another business study...

Sun Quan couldn't help feeling a little headache.

In the past, any rulers did not pay attention to businessmen, because they thought it was a menial job.

Businessmen buy low and sell high, and they can make profits without doing production.

It's so unfair to ordinary workers.

But starting from Liu Ke, he gave great support to businesses and created a prosperous scene in Yangzhou.

In troubled times, this is too unbelievable.

Liu Ke has contributed a lot to the development of Yangzhou so far, but the merchants have also made great contributions.

In the past, places that became rich were often extravagant and lustful.

But Yangzhou doesn't have... The fighting power of the Yangzhou army is still the number one in the world!

Because the people of Yangzhou have suffered in troubled times.

The development of commerce led to the strength of the army.

The Yangzhou Army is armed to the teeth!

Take Jingzhou as an example, it is considered a relatively wealthy state, but Sun Quan is still worried about money and food.

The food is okay, as long as the war does not reach Jingzhou, the people work hard to farm, and there is no end to eat.

Armor and weapons are more difficult, and they all cost money.

"I don't have so much time to stay in Yangzhou, can I take some books with me?" Sun Quan said cheekily.

"As a beginner, you should not delve into it by yourself, lest you go astray." Liu Ke said.
