"I heard that the Shi family's caravan traveled all over the world, going as far as North Korea, Mitsukoshi and even the southwestern barbarians?" Liu Che stretched out a finger and asked slowly.
Shi Dan's mood at this moment was probably like a peacock spreading its wings, wishing to take advantage of all the advantages of his family, and immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Liu Che chuckled and said: "My first condition is that I will send people to station all the caravans of the master family!"
The Shi family's caravans numbered more than a hundred at their peak, and with other caravans under peripheral control and vassalage, the number could be as high as four to five hundred.
Owning thousands of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, and hundreds of large and small merchant ships, the Shi family has developed a huge sales network.
Such a huge network, in Liu Che's eyes, is already the prototype of a huge intelligence, business and surveillance network.
It is precisely because of this that he is tempted, takes risks, and ends up personally.
As long as you control the master's network and integrate it.
In the future, whether it is to spread Xiuyiwei's eyes and ears all over the world, or Liu Che's many other plans, there will be room for him to use his skills.
Moreover, with the vest of a private businessman, you can do many things freely and boldly experiment.
When Shi Dan heard this, he immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty's decree, the common people dare not disobey, but..." He bowed his head and said: "The common people's house has now been moved to Guanzhong, and the former clerks, accountants and caravans from all walks of life have been moved to Guanzhong.
The person in charge may not be able to obey orders now..."
As he spoke, a hint of cunning flashed through the corners of Shi Dan's eyes.
Indeed, many of the caravans under the Shi family showed signs of restlessness the moment the Shi family was moved.
Moving to Guanzhong would be a disaster for the master's family.
It means that we are far away from our roots. As long as the subordinates are not stupid, they will look for opportunities to stand on their own. Some even greedy and bold people will take the opportunity to hack the master's family's property and turn it into their own.
Such things have happened frequently in the past sixty years.
but……
The wealthy businessmen of the current generation, after seeing the fate of their predecessors who had fallen victim to the Lingyi migration system in the past sixty years, how could they not have plans and have backup plans?
In this world, wherever there is a spear, there is a shield. The evolution of spears and shields is closely connected.
If one party is strong, the other party will inevitably make changes in response to the other party.
Up to now, all the powerful businessmen in the world have made changes on their own in response to the Lingyi policy.
Or they are closely connected with the government in the local area, using money to pave the way, and using beautiful women as ammunition to corrupt and win over the bureaucracy. In this way, they can avoid being reported to Chang'an and forced to move, or they can create a good reputation so that the government can't get out of trouble.
There is no excuse for talking, and it can narrow the public opinion and force the local officials to dare not take action.
But these are only passive defenses.
Who doesn’t understand the principle of the cunning rabbit’s three burrows?
Any powerful merchant family that can escape from previous migrations has its own preparations and plans.
This is to prepare for one day, if one day they are forced to move to Guanzhong, how will their family be reborn?
Among these preparations, there is naturally how to avoid forced relocation and prevent the main industries and important financial resources in one's name from being destroyed by forced relocation, so that after forced relocation, one can still continue to provide wealth. The supply is already in Guanzhong
used by the family.
Historically, the preparations of these merchants were as sophisticated as could be achieved in this era.
Take the Shi family as an example. After 20 to 30 years of planning, this family has extended favors and investments in Luoyang City and other caravans in Henan County, and has maintained long-term close relationships with people from all walks of life.
The main large-scale caravans and fleets have always been in the hands of the Shi family.
The so-called own people are, of course, sons-in-law, nephews, and those servants and sons from the master's family who have been trained since childhood.
Although it is impossible to keep these people loyal to the Shi family, at least within three to five years after the forced relocation, the Shi family can still control the overall situation by relying on the prestige and past rewards.
As for those that are unstable and restless, they are basically small caravans or insignificant shops.
But it's a pity that in history, they encountered little pigs who acted unreasonably.
Moreover, Xiaozhu directly overturned the table.
It doesn’t matter how many back-ups you have with the Reporting Order. The main core of this law is to encourage people to report on each other and expose hidden properties. Once verified, the reporter can get half of the property confiscated by the person being reported.
This leads to many people not even needing evidence. They just find the richest families in the county, hand in a report letter to the Yamen, and then sit and count the money. Anyway, the big families must have concealed and concealed a lot.
property.
The little pig used force to overcome skill. No matter how many arrangements and back-up moves the powerful merchants made, they would just punch the air, and then the unreasonable officers and soldiers would rush into the house and confiscate all the property.
But now, no businessman would have thought that if he offended the emperor, he would fire a map cannon and release the ferocious beast of a warning order.
Merchants, on the other hand, pursue profit and are extremely bold. There is nothing they dare not do.
For example, the Cheng Zheng family and the Zhuo family in Linqiong took advantage of the chaotic moment when the new king came to the throne to swallow up Deng Tong's property in Shu County.
With such courage, who dares to say that they are weak?
The same is true for Shi Dan at this moment.
Since there is an opportunity to use the imperial power to let those subordinates who may take the opportunity to bite off the flesh and blood of his own family, and then know how powerful it is and recover the losses, Shidan will naturally not let it go.
Liu Che lowered his head slightly and glanced at Shi Dan, his eyebrows jumped, and he said noncommittally: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will let Zhidu handle it!"
Liu Che still has enough confidence in Zhidu.
This is indeed a loyal minister.
When the affairs of Henan County came to an end, Liu Che had already planned to appoint Zhidu as Jiangdu Wang Taifu, let Zhidu sit in Guangling Kingdom, and start the road to unify Sanyue.
Shidan immediately worshiped with great joy: "Your Majesty's holy grace, the people are so grateful..."
Liu Che's words were equivalent to opening up a whole new world for Shidan.
This is equivalent to telling Shi Dan that from now on, the Shi family can regard themselves as imperial merchants.
Imperial merchants are ten thousand times more powerful than official merchants.
With this piece of tiger skin, many of the problems we faced in doing business in the past will no longer be a problem.
With the emperor's backing and the Shaofu's support and help, every link from procurement to supply to sales will be perfect.
And there is no need to worry about local officials suddenly jumping out to snatch the fruits and divide the profits. There is no need to worry about the safety along the road. The pavilion system and the customs and defense system that the Han Dynasty painstakingly established all over the world will become a node on the Shijia business network.
.
This benefit, just thinking about it, makes people fascinated.
Liu Che was too lazy to figure out what Shi Dan was thinking.
His attitude towards the Shijia caravan is very clear.
The entire network and all caravans must be nationalized and belong to the Shaofu.
Liu Che has already thought about letting Wang Dao take charge of the coordination of this aspect.
The future of the Shijia family is probably the status of a professional manager.
Even after a few years, when Liu Che has trained talents who can master and manage this network, it will be very simple to kick Shi's family away.
Of course, now, the role of teachers is still very crucial.
Therefore, Liu Che patiently continued: "Second, the master has traveled around the world and recorded the roads, mountains, rivers, and geographical conditions of the world's counties and counties. You can sort them out for me. Send them to me in half a month.
Go to Shiqu Pavilion and hand it over to Tai Shigong!"
The Ma Tan family of the Taishi Company has had an ambition for generations, which is to compile a history book that describes the three emperors and five emperors in the first chapter and the politics, geography, military and economy of the world in the second chapter.
This is also the historical mission shouldered by the Sima family.
From the autobiography of Tai Shigong in the Historical Records of later generations, this sense of mission and responsibility is very strong.
The Sima family has existed and continued with this goal in all generations.
Liu Che planned to help the Sima family and promote the birth of Shiji.
We do not even rule out the possibility of participating with the power of the state in the future to jointly edit and complete the encyclopedia of the Han Dynasty.
The benefits of doing this are of course obvious.
Qin Shihuang wrote the same text and drove the same track, leaving his immortal mark on future generations.
As a time traveler, how dare Liu Che fall behind others and leave some mark that will never be erased by future generations, no matter the change of dynasties or changes in the world, it would be tantamount to failure.
After hearing this, Master Dan immediately bowed again: "No!"
"After the villain returns, he will order everyone in the house to tidy up immediately..."
As merchants, the geography, mountains, landforms, rivers, lakes, roads, and other related conditions are naturally things they must understand and know.
After hearing this, Liu Che nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said: "You go down first, remember, don't tell anyone that you met with me today..."
Well, this is deceiving others.
Liu Che knew very well that this matter could not be hidden from anyone.
I believe that someone will soon know that the emperor met with a businessman today and discussed some things.
Just like when Cheng Zheng met him, it didn't take long for everyone to know the relevant things. Even the fact that Cheng Zheng and Zhuo funded the construction of Baoxie Road has now become an open secret.
But, a lot of things are like this.
If you don't shout about it everywhere, even if others know about it, they will pretend they don't know.
But if you shout about something publicly, then others can't pretend to be deaf and have to take a stand.
This is politics.
Seeing Shi Dan disappear at the door, Liu Che waved to Wang Dao and said: "Some time ago, have you placed the people I asked you to place at Wang Wenshu's place?"
Wang Dao immediately said: "Your Majesty, the servant has already taken care of it..."
Liu Che nodded and said nothing.
Wang Wenshu is a double-edged sword. This madman, like other cruel officials in the Han Dynasty, is a genius with both civil and military skills.
Without good control, it is easy for the user to cut themselves.
and……
Wang Wenshu's greed is directly proportional to his cruelty and tyranny.
Among Xiaozhu's courtiers in his previous life, there were only a few who could rival him in terms of greed for money.
This guy was released to bite the Ren family. Liu Che believed that he would be able to kill the green tea bitch of the Ren family.
However, just like Kang Mazi asked Xiaobao to ransack his home in The Deer and the Cauldron, Liu Che was really worried that the Ren family's property might eventually fall into Wang Wenshu's hands.
If it was just a few million dollars, Liu Che wouldn't bother to pay attention.
But the Ren family is a real wealthy businessman who can compete with the Cheng, Zheng and Zhuo families for wealth.
His family property, including fields alone, is estimated to be more than 10,000 hectares.
It’s really hard for Liu Che to rest assured! (To be continued)
