One thousand five hundred and eighty-third section ripped off
Liu Che's so-called thinking of a solution is actually to beat the autumn wind.
Whose autumn wind should I fight?
Of course it is the autumn wind of the richest people in the Han Dynasty!
The next day, Liu Che gave an order to the Xiuyi Guards to invite the ten richest merchants of the Han Dynasty to Chang'an to "discuss state affairs together."
Speaking of which, the merchants of the Han Dynasty have now reached the pinnacle of their respective fields.
The Zheng and Zhuo families of Linqiong Cheng and the Bing family of Nanyang are currently the three giants in the iron smelting and mining industry of the Han Dynasty.
They are the Rockefellers of the Han Dynasty.
Not only do you have money, but you also have a huge interest chain and ecological chain.
In fact, these three major families have gradually begun to resemble prehistoric cartels.
They already possess some of the characteristics of the original monopolies.
They divided their respective territories among themselves, and agreed and organized a large number of small and medium-sized businessmen to follow their huge bodies.
Monopoly is power, and wealth is power.
Without the checks and balances of Nanyang County Blast Furnace Base and Shaofu, these three families would be enough to monopolize the rise and fall of the price and supply of pig iron and ironware in the Han Dynasty.
It is precisely because of the huge output of Nanyang County's blast furnace iron smelting base and the checks and balances of the Shaofu that these three families can only serve as lackeys of the imperial power.
On the other hand, the transportation industry is also showing the first signs of monopoly.
In terms of inland water transportation, the Tian family of Qi State and the Li family of Zhao State emerged one after another.
They employ thousands of rangers and own hundreds or even thousands of large and small ships. They run rampant in the inland rivers and often stage all kinds of gangster scenes.
If it weren't for the fleet of the Louchuan Yamen, which would regularly sweep away the bandits in the swamps and rivers in various places, I'm afraid these guys would have turned the big rivers, Yangtze and swamps into their own territory.
But inland water transport is, after all, just a small undertaking.
Far less profitable than shipping!
A large ship that regularly travels between Anton and Qilu can make a profit from just the passenger transportation fee for one round trip.
The profits from the products it carries are several times higher.
In particular, Anton's whale oil, pearls, gold and other specialties are highly profitable, attracting all adventurers.
However, no one who can afford a large ship that can sail in the ocean is a good person.
The price of a large offshore passenger and cargo ship at Jiangdu Shipyard starts at five million, with no upper limit.
If it is a very large ship improved from the Fuzhou ship, it would be impossible to even think about it without 10 million.
Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!
Because such large ships can hunt whales.
At present, the only people who can obtain whaling permission are feudal lords, and even ordinary princes may not be able to obtain whaling permission.
Therefore, the current private shipping industry of the Han Dynasty is basically monopolized by the powerful.
Almost all of those very large ships fell into the hands of noble relatives.
Even, in Liu's hands.
For example, there are Liu Yan, the king of Jiangdu, Liu De, the crown prince of Jiaodong, and the fleet of the Jiaoxi king who pretends to be Liu Zhi, the king of Jiaoxi, but is actually Liu Che's white glove fleet.
The annual profits of these shipping fleets organized with the kingdom as their backing are tens of millions.
It’s more than the tax revenue of their feudal country itself!
As a result, in the country of Qilu and Jiangdu, more and more people are keen on the ocean.
Marine talents emerge frequently.
Many young nobles even fell in love with sailing adventures.
Going into the ocean to hunt whales has even become a hobby for many young princes and nobles.
Just like before, the nobles of Chang'an loved to hunt tigers and leopards.
Because of this, Liu Che issued an edict by the way to order the king of Jiangdu, Liu Yan, the king of Jiaoxi, Liu Zhi, and the king of Jiaodong, Liu Xian, and his prince Liu De to enter the court.
You have earned so much, no matter what you do, you should use some of it to show your respect and filial piety!
At the same time, another edict flew to Panyu, the capital of the Nanyue King.
South Vietnam King Zhao Hu will be ordered to come to court.
Liu Che asked Zhao Hu to come because he wanted to rip him off.
Since the surrender of South Vietnam and the integration of Han and Vietnam.
Han and Vietnam have achieved economic integration, market integration and financial integration.
There was no obstacle to the exchanges between Han merchants and nobles and South Vietnamese merchants, scholars, and nobles.
The checkpoints, passes and water obstacles that once existed between the Han and South Vietnamese borders have now been eliminated.
From Changsha State, Hepu Pass to Wuling and Meiling, the entire line is open and unimpeded.
Iron, salt, silk, technology and books from the Han Dynasty continued to enter South Vietnam on land, inland rivers and sea through ships and business travel.
South Vietnam provided a large number of high-quality and cheap labor.
Almost all the savages in the Cochin jungle have been captured.
It is said that the slave-catching team of Lao Zhao's family has gone deep into the Indochina Peninsula to arrest people.
There is no way, money and silk are so attractive!
The starting price for a male slave is 8,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan for a female slave, and 4,000 yuan for a child.
If you go out to enjoy the autumn breeze, you will pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The nobles of Baiyue and the ministers of the Zhao family were going crazy.
The technology, equipment and books brought by Han merchants also deeply attracted the scholar-bureaucrats and noble people from all over South Vietnam.
To this day, Han and South Vietnam dare not say that they have been completely integrated.
But at least there is no barrier in economics, culture and finance.
Coupled with the common interests, the Han and Yue aristocrats and merchants had a bad rapport with each other and were in an awkward situation.
It's just a matter of beheading them and becoming brothers with different surnames.
Zhao Hu and the South Vietnamese royal family devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the whaling enterprise.
Whaling ships departing from the ports of Jiaozhi and Panyu hunt for marine giants in the vast warm waters of the South China Sea.
Now, South Vietnam's whaling volume is no worse than Anton's whaling volume.
A conservative estimate is that the total value of the gold and five baht coins in Zhao Hu's hands is no less than three hundred million.
Why, South Vietnam also has to contribute tens of millions to the central government, right?
In addition, Shi, who Liu Che specially supported as a role model and a symbol of imperial business, also gained some blood.
You have to contribute tens of millions casually, right?
Otherwise, what's the point of raising him?
As for the Yangzhou salt merchants and the Thirteenth Industry, who were supported by the Manchus, didn't they also have to prepare various expenses for the Manchus at all times?
After careful calculation, Liu Che found that he seemed to be able to obtain at least 200,000,000 yuan in various resources from various forces.
Of course, the prerequisite is that they all know each other and can clearly understand their status and roles.
Don't be stupid.
And after going through all kinds of bloody events, there are no longer any people who can still be stupid.
Shi, a bitch, was the first to react after getting Liu Che's hint.
Almost immediately, Shi Dan took the initiative to send most of the wealth he had saved over the years to the young man's house, saying: The common people are lucky that your majesty will not give up.
The purpose of increasing clothing...
Liu Che heard that Long Yan was very happy, and immediately gave Shi Dan a few sticks, and named him Jianxin Lord. He also promised that once the Han Dynasty captured Hexi, he would choose a place in Hexi for Shi's family to be a feudal state.
After hearing this, Shi Dan immediately felt that the money was well spent!
Not only did he buy an amulet for his family, he also gained status and even a kingdom!
Sure enough, Lu Buwei was right!
The most promising business in the world is investing in the country! chaptererror;
