Jia Xu frowned as he listened to what these merchants said, feeling that what Zhen An and the others were saying was getting more and more outrageous. Xu Wei, as the leader of the Da Gan Army, was busy with the world's hegemony, so how could he have time to pay attention to business matters like theirs? Trail.
It seems that the government is still too benevolent, so that these businessmen do not know their status and do not know that the current government is different from the past, and they dare to make such excessive demands.
He originally thought that Xu Wei would reject their proposal, scold them and tell them to leave.
But the reality is that Xu Wei said happily: "Now Yanzhou is full of waste and is waiting for development. If you want to invest here, I am not happy enough. So I will find a way to register all the craftsmen and workshops that used to make silk, and at the same time, make the hills and other unsuitable areas All the places where food is grown will be used to plant mulberry trees, and we will strive to create one million acres of mulberry forests, and then plan several silk textile centers in Yanzhou.
Strive to have Yanzhou produce tens of millions of pieces of silk within five years! Not only to meet your needs on the Silk Road, but also to meet our internal needs in Dagan!"
In the era of the Han Dynasty, raising silkworms, weaving silk and linen was as important as farming. Mencius even said that with a hundred acres of field, five acres of mulberry trees, and a family of several people, there would be no hunger. It can be said that this is how men farm and women weave. The normal state of the times. Men farmed to survive and women weaved to make money.
But the silk output produced by this small-scale peasant economy is not very large! Not to mention meeting the needs of Zhen An and others, it cannot even meet the internal needs of Daqian.
Now in Daqian, everyone is learning the large-scale industrial production method, pursuing scale effect and cluster effect. What Zheng'an and the others need is the large-scale industrial production method like Mayi.
To achieve all this, Xu Wei's help is naturally indispensable. This is also the reason why Zhen An and others asked Xu Wei.
Otherwise, if the people were allowed to slowly recover and produce silk using the method of men farming and women weaving, they would not be able to produce millions of pieces of silk a year. Even because of the drought in recent years, no one would even think of a way to do it. Instead of weaving silk, think of ways to farm and support yourself first.
According to the experience of this era, silk production in Yanzhou will not be possible until at least five years later, and it will be impossible to fully recover in less than a few decades. Such a long time for Zhen An and the others Of course I couldn't wait, and if I wanted to speed up the process, I had to ask Xu Wei.
Now Zhen An and the others were overjoyed when they heard Xu Wei's majestic plan, and then they flattered him and said, "Government is grand. This plan looks majestic and cannot be made by ordinary people!"
Tian Zhong also followed up and said: "It is through being in power that we are worth what we are now. In the world, there are great heroes like being in power. Great heroes take care of us the most! In power, we are our food, clothing, and parents!"
These words made everyone else sigh with emotion. They did not think that Tanaka was flattering. It was too difficult to do business in the Han Dynasty. Without a backing, it would be easy to be eaten alive by others.
And even if they have a backend, if they encounter someone as unreasonable as Dong Zhuo, they will be discarded immediately, like a useless spittoon. The status of these merchants in the Han Dynasty is too low.
Obviously they have done the most, earned the least, and risked their lives, but those wealthy nobles and officials do not have to do anything. But they have to rush to send money to them, otherwise their business will not be able to continue. When the fat sheep were not as miserable as they were, Xu Wei wiped out all the powerful families in the world, and each of them was secretly happy.
You also have today, what a retribution!
It was only here in Daqian that they could accumulate such a fortune over the years. The money they earned did not need to be distributed to the noble families behind them, and no petty officials or officials dared to blackmail them. Now this industry is truly real. It belongs to them. So even though the tax in Dagan is ten times higher than that in Dahan, they still like to do business here in Dagan, because when doing business here, they can straighten their backs.
Then Xu Wei said: "You can inspect Yanzhou during this period to see which place is suitable for establishing a silk and textile industry center. We will try to inspect a good place this year so that the first season of silkworms can be produced next spring and the second season of textile production will be produced." One batch of silk will achieve the goal we just mentioned within five years."
Zhen An immediately said: "We will not let the ruling party down, as long as silkworm cocoons can appear this spring! I will invest 20 million to build a silk textile factory in Yanzhou!"
Others, like Zhen An, assured Xu Wei that they could build a new textile factory in Yanzhou.
Xu Weiwei calculated that these people alone had invested more than one billion yuan, which could be regarded as solving Yanzhou's big problem!
After Zhen An and the others left, Jia Xu asked in confusion: "The government treats these businessmen too favorably. They would not dare to mention such a thing in front of Dong Guoxiang!"
Jia Xu can't understand Xu Wei's brain circuit now. It is clear that the noble families can help him conquer the world, but Xu Wei disdains the noble families in the world.
It is obvious that all businessmen in the world are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and their families can be destroyed as soon as the will comes, but Xu Wei attaches great importance to them.
Xu Wei said: "Now Yanzhou is in dire need. These big businessmen investing in Yanzhou can feed the local people and help Yanzhou recover quickly. It is not normal for me to value these rich people! If you want others to invest money, You have to look good to others, you look like an uncle, who dares to invest here!"
Attracting investment! Everyone in the Celestial Dynasty understands this, but Xu Wei can’t understand Jia Xu. How can such a smart person not see through such a simple and clear thing?
But Jia Xu worriedly said: "The benefits of doing business are several times greater, and big businessmen like Zhen An, who have business routes connected to the Silk Road, have dozens of times more benefits, and the government still treats them so favorably, and is not afraid of the world." All the people should learn from them and do business!
Now is the time to fight for hegemony in the world, and the most important thing should be farming and warfare. The government attaches so much importance to the power of merchants, and I don’t worry that the people who work hard will imitate them. You must know that merchants are tricky and most selfish. If our army The soldiers in the army have learned their habits, and the soldiers in the army have also become bitter and slippery. Then even if we have an army of millions, we will not be able to defeat the big man! The ruling dynasty's hegemony may also be destroyed in one day!"
Xu Wei asked strangely: "Jia Xu, you don't understand such a simple truth?
The benefits of doing business are several times greater, because there are too few people in the caravan team. Not to mention that all the people in the world go to do business, even if 10% of the people go to do business, then 90% of the people who learn to do business may not make any money.
money.
The remaining ten people may not even make half a penny of profit. In this case, as long as they are not fools, they will not continue to do business, and everyone will still choose to live a stable farming life!"
No one can be more involved than the Celestial Empire, with 1 billion people and 900 million merchants. In the end, only a few will get rich, and everyone can only live a stable life!
The ideas of people like Jia Xu are simply unfounded.
