Chapter 711 Looking for cooperation with you

It took Li Feng two days to learn from the people of Xiazhou that Liang Luoren was a good manager.

So, Li Feng came to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion in Xiazhou, and then he took out an official seal and handed it to the guard.

When the guard saw it, he immediately went to ask for instructions.

Not long after, Liang Luoren personally greeted Li Feng.

"I've met General Liang." Li Feng said to Liang Luoren.

Liang Luoren followed up and said: "The name of Lantian Hou has been heard by me for a long time. Today, when I see you, you are indeed a hero. Please come in, please come in quickly."

"please."

At Liang Luoren's invitation, Li Feng came to the reception hall. A maid brought tea and cakes and placed them on Li Feng's table.

After the maid left, Liang Luoren asked: "Why did Marquis Lantian come to my remote Xiazhou?"

Li Feng smiled and said: "From today on, we are neighbors, so I want to keep in touch with General Liang and build a relationship, and at the same time, I want to make a fortune together."

"Get rich!" Liang Luoren smiled, "Haha, I like getting rich. Everyone doesn't like getting rich. But..."

Li Feng couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard but. Every but is followed by some reverse words.

Liang Luoren said: "However, it is impossible for me in Xiazhou to demolish the city wall. Marquis Lantian, I hope you can understand this."

Li Feng suddenly laughed and said: "I thought General Liang was going to say something, but it turns out he was talking about the city wall.

I never thought about asking General Liang to demolish the city wall of Xiazhou, I just wanted to make a fortune together."

"It seems so." Liang Luoren said, and then laughed: "Haha, it turns out I was wrong. I don't know how Lan Tianhou plans to make a fortune?"

Li Feng said: "It's very simple. Shuozhou will become a commercial transfer station. In other words, from now on, many merchants from the Western Regions will put all their goods on Shuofang for consignment, and then buy the items they need from Shuofang."

"This is new, but what does this have to do with us in Xiazhou? It seems to have nothing to do with me." Liang Luoren said.

Li Feng smiled and said: "General Liang, you don't understand the mystery, that's why you think so."

"Oh, tell me, what's the mystery in this?" Liang Luoren said.

Li Feng immediately smiled and said: "General Liang, before I explain, I would like to ask first, does Shuofang have what merchants in the Western Regions need?"

Liang Luoren shook his head and said: "No, Shuofang can be said to have nothing, no one, no food, everything is brought to Shuofang by caravans and sold."

"General Liang has said that there is nothing in Shuofang, and the caravans need to bring supplies so that the people can live.

I'm afraid, except for those few caravans, no caravans are willing to come to Shuofang, right?" Li Feng asked again.

"That's right." Liang Luoren said, "Although merchants from the Western Regions often pass by Shuofang, they are just passing by, unless"

Before Liang Luoren finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "What Marquis Lantian means is that you have a way to get those Western Region merchants to be in Shuofang."

Li Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I just said that Shuofang will become a transit station. Businessmen from the Western Regions, Chang'an, or various countries will come directly to Shuofang to trade.

At present, there are many people in Shuofang, they are the labor force, and I have arranged for people to start hoarding land in Shuofang three months ago. With the addition of new grain varieties, the people of Shuofang can be completely self-sufficient without asking other people.

Buy.

The deal I want to discuss with General Liang has two aspects."

"Which two?" Liang Luoren asked.

Li Feng said: "One is the road. I will build a wooden track from Shuofang to Chang'an. One horse can pull five or six times the weight of the cargo that can be pulled normally, and the speed can also be increased much faster."

Liang Luoren was shocked, and at the same time he wondered: Is there really such a way in this world?

But he still had that faint smile on his face, and he had no idea what he was thinking.

Li Er continued: "This road is a bit long. I need General Liang's help. Let the people build it together. You can also let prisoners and prisoners build it. It is best to catch those heinous bandits and then build this road."

road.

I won’t feel bad if I use such a person.”

"This road doesn't seem to be of any benefit to me, does it?"

"Yes, General Liang can charge tolls for caravans and carriages according to weight, one penny per kilogram of goods. I believe this money will definitely be indispensable in the future."

Liang Luoren frowned slightly: "Tolls? This is the first time I have heard of it. It feels like a green forest hero who dominates the mountain and becomes the king."

Li Feng's heart moved, and it seems that there is really a bit of the most classic line: I carry this tree, I drive this road, if you want to live from now on, leave money to buy the road.

"Haha" Li Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought of this line.

"Lantian Hou, why are you laughing?" Liang Luoren asked, with a hint of displeasure in his tone, as if Li Feng was laughing at him.

Li Feng came back to his senses and said: "General Liang's words reminded me of some past events, so I got distracted. I'm very sorry, but I charge tolls."

Next, Li Feng introduced the toll issue in detail.

"As long as General Liang is still responsible for Xiazhou, then the tolls can be collected all the time, and the merchants will not fail to pay. You can also implement a monthly or annual subscription system, giving you one hundred guan at a time. Within one year, as long as it is

Your caravan's vehicles are free to use, and "

Activities like this were also mentioned.

Liang Luoren's eyes were suddenly filled with excitement. Looking at Li Feng, he could only be described as a business wizard.

"What's the second collaboration?" he asked impatiently.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Of course, we will set up a transportation team with me to specialize in transporting goods.

General Liang should be able to imagine that whether they are merchants from the Western Regions or merchants from the Tang Dynasty, after they arrive at Shuofang, they will definitely need to transport all the goods they need back."

"They have their own caravan. Why use ours?" Liang Luoren said.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Is their caravan as fast and as large as ours? After the wooden rails are built, I will make a batch of carriages suitable for the wooden rails.

The speed is definitely faster than their caravans, and they transport more. Let me ask, if I arrive in Chang'an first for the same kind of goods, will the people buy mine first, or will they wait like fools to wait for other caravans to arrive before buying them."

"Of course I will buy the goods that arrive first. When they arrive together, the day lilies will be cold. But will this transportation team be plagiarized?"

"Don't worry, this is our exclusive business. Don't forget, we built this wooden track." Li Feng said with a bad smile.

Liang Luoren immediately said: "Yes, yes, we built the wooden rails."
