"Brother Yang, you can rest assured. I have seen such iron weapons at your majesty's place. The swords made can be said to be as sharp as iron, and each one can be said to be a magic weapon!" Zhen Yao looked at the head of the Yang family and said.

arrive.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I, the Yang family, are also willing to serve your majesty." The head of the Yang family looked at Zhen Yao and nodded heavily.

"Okay, in that case, I will report this matter to His Majesty as soon as possible. After the Yang family returns, he can open a new blast furnace and try to refine a furnace of refined iron so that someone can be sent to review this battle."

"As long as the review passes, I can assure you that this new purchase will definitely involve your Yang family."

"Brother Zhen, thank you very much if I love you!" The head of the Yang family nodded to Zhen Yao.

Seeing the Yang family, the Zhao family all benefited, and some of the Wang family nearby could not sit still.

"Brother Zhen, what about us?" The head of the Wang family pointed at himself and then at the other people present.

Zhen Yao looked at the anxious head of the Wang family, with a smile on his face.

"Brother Wang, and other family heads, don't be anxious."

"As far as I know, Brother Wang and the other family heads present here have a wide range of family businesses, but they are not very famous. So even if someone recommends it to you, you may not be able to compete with the aristocratic families in other states and counties."

"Brother Zhen, if you say that, I won't be happy with it. Brother Yang and Brother Zhao have both been punished, so they can't end up here. There's nothing." The head of the Yang family and the head of the Wang family were a little anxious.

Originally, among them, except for the Zhen family, which was the strongest, the remaining three families were actually about the same strength. Now that the Yang family and the Zhao family have obtained new technologies, they have caught His Majesty’s attention. Even if he thinks with his toes, the head of the Wang family knows that in the future,

Within a period of time, the Zhao and Yang families will definitely enter a period of take-off.

At this time, if the Wang family where they belong cannot follow up, they will definitely be left far behind.

How can the Wang family sit still and wait for death? If they abandon the Wang family this time, then the Wang family will definitely fight to the death.

"Brother Wang, I didn't say anything. Don't be anxious. Sit down first and listen to what I have to say." Zhen Yao looked at the Wang family head and many other family heads and said slowly.

"Okay, I'll sit down, you say it." The head of the Wang family still looked at Zhen Yao angrily, but he still sat down.

"Other family heads, please sit down first and listen to me slowly." Zhen Yao pressed his hands to everyone and motioned for them to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Zhen Yao slowly said: "Everyone, we must face up to our shortcomings, and we must also clearly see our strengths."

"Although your family doesn't have anything like the Zhao family and the Yang family, I would like to ask you, how did you become a business family?"

When everyone heard Zhen Yao's words, they all lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. They were all thinking about how they could contribute to the powerful family.

But they have done too many things before, and seem to be involved in every industry, but they are not particularly proficient in them.

Suddenly, Patriarch Zhao on the side suddenly thought of something, so she immediately said: "Caravan?"

"Yes, it's the caravan!" Zhen Yao looked at the Zhao family leader and nodded, and said firmly.

"Have you ever thought about it, although you don't have salt fields and minerals like the Zhao family and the Yang family, you still buy some caravans and travel all over the world?"

"Suppose His Majesty gives you permission to do business within the area controlled by the Han Dynasty. Have you ever thought about the value of this?"

"I once heard in Luoyang that Yang Feng of the Hongnong Yang family formed a caravan after the New Deal. It only took the route from Luoyang to the Western Regions and the grasslands. Each trip was the same as the entire Yang family in previous years.

income.”

"Everyone, have you ever thought about how much profit there is? The Yang family is just a family of eunuchs, and the caravan is newly established. Even so, they can earn back a year's profit in one trip."

"If we can do the same, I would like to ask you, how much is the benefit from this?" Zhen Yao asked a question, which caused everyone present to think deeply.

If it were them, I dare not say that the income would be doubled, but at least it could be improved by one or two levels, which would be very easy.

You know, the income from these two floors is the same as the income in the past two or three months. One or two floors at a time, and a few more trips, you will have the income in a year.

Thinking of this, the heads of these aristocratic families wanted to immediately form a caravan and head to the Western Regions and grasslands.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhen Yao smiled slightly, and then continued: "Not only that, His Majesty also said that the places where we can do business cannot be limited to this. In the future, as the power of the Han Dynasty expands, what about South Vietnam and the slave country?

We can also go to the Sanhan area."

"Your Majesty promises that wherever the Han soldiers go, we can do business there!"

"And we are allowed to form a escort team and freely develop trade routes. As long as we have the ability, our trading range can reach the legendary Great Qin Kingdom (referring to Rome)."

"If it is a trade line developed by ourselves, the Han Dynasty will recognize it and even send troops to protect it. However, sending troops to protect it requires us to bear the food, grass and baggage."

"Of course, if you don't want to, you can also give these places to the court, and the court can compensate you with tax reductions and exemptions."

"If he is strong enough and does not need the help of the imperial court, he can expand his trade routes by himself. If the escort team is strong enough to hold on, but is unwilling to give up these places to the imperial court, the imperial court can appoint him as the local governor."

"The responsibilities of these prefects are different from those of the prefects in the Han Dynasty. These prefects hold military power, but they need to obey the court's orders to a certain extent. One-third of the local taxes are turned over to the court, and the remaining local taxes are paid to the court.

Keep it."

"Everyone, do you know what this means? This is equivalent to the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period!"

Zhen Yao said excitedly, and everyone present was stunned.

Princely state, such a loud word, such a distant word.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many vassal states and frequent conquests. But after the First Emperor, the system of prefectures and counties was implemented, and the vassal states became history.

But later the Qin State fell and the Han Dynasty was established. Although there were princes who divided the kingdoms, those were only for clans with the Liu surname, and no one with other different surnames could own the princely states.

They even called out those with different surnames to be crowned kings and the whole world would fight against him.

Therefore, over the past few hundred years, the vassal states have been far away from ordinary people.

And now, suddenly, the big man promised to give them such an opportunity, which made everyone present excited.

"Brother Zhen, are everything you said true?" the head of the Zhao family asked, looking at Zhen Yao.
