Chapter 754: Are you trying to trick yourself again?
Li Chengqian said that let everyone in the world have enough food and make everyone in the world rich.
Not just talking, but serious.
But if you want to do all this, you can't just rely on words, but you need to take practical actions.
And he really took great pains to do all this. ??
From the people's livelihood to the country's economic direction, he was always planning everything.
And all this is done because of the above sentence.
Let everyone in the world have enough food and make everyone in the world rich.
As he said himself, since he is lucky enough to be in this era and has such an identity, he must do something for the people of this era.
And Zhai Yuexiu did not disappoint Li Chengqian.
After Li Chengqian gave the Zhai family permission to do business in the Western Regions, he immediately started investing.
Like the early Central Plains, Gaochang State also implemented a system of counties and counties.
Within its territory, there are four large cities, namely Gaochang City, the royal capital, Jiaohe City, Tiandi City and Nanping City.
If Zhai Yuexiu goes to future generations, she will definitely be a strong woman who dares to think and act.
And in contemporary times, the same is true for her.
This guy directly opened dozens of shops in the three major counties and cities of Gaochang Kingdom, as well as the royal capital.
The main purpose of these shops is to sell products from the Tang Dynasty and to buy back specialties from the Gaochang Kingdom.
Gaochang State has a warm climate, which is suitable for raising silkworms and growing cereals.
Famous specialties include leather goods, red salt, white salt, grapes, frozen wine, honey, flour, cotton and silk fabrics, etc.
These things are relatively scarce in the Central Plains.
Similarly, the porcelain, clothing, paper and other items of the Tang Dynasty were not available in Gaochang State.
It was also under such circumstances that the Zhai family, as the "advance army", took the lead in starting trade with Gaochang State.
During that time, you could see the Zhai family's chariots and horses pulling goods in the direction of Gaochangguo almost every day.
And when they come back, they will also display many specialties brought back from Gaochang.
You know, the Central Plains has not had any contact with the Western Regions for a long time. Got into business.
Even many things brought back from Gaochang are things that contemporary people have only heard of but have never seen.
And the results of this are obvious.
Whether it was the Zhai family's store in Zhongyuan or the store in Gaochangguo, it was once a very hot scene.
Many people even get up early and line up outside shops in order to buy their favorite products as early as possible.
Such a scene naturally attracted the envy of many people.
Only half a month later, a large number of merchants came to the Liangzhou government office to find Li Chengqian, seeking permission to do business in the Western Regions.
Among them, the Changsun family, the big tycoon of Chang'an City, is naturally indispensable.
The Changsun family's handling of the matter was relatively tactful.
Changsun Wuji, as the right minister of the dynasty, asked Changsun Chong to come to Liangzhou on the pretext of letting Changsun Chong assist Li Chengqian in conducting a census of Liangzhou's population.
Of course, it is true that he is assisting Li Chengqian on the surface, but in fact he is here to ask Li Chengqian.
Can you give yourself a piece of the cake of Western Business Road?
And this is the cleverness of Changsun Wuji.
He did not force Li Chengqian directly, but first asked Li Chengqian what he meant.
After all, there is no guarantee what will happen to this guy in the future, and it is necessary to have a good relationship with him.
You can't just focus on family ties to maintain everything, right?
Of course Li Chengqian would not refuse.
After all, he had personally promised at the beginning that if Changsun Wuji was willing to give up the family's methods and fight against the family with him, he would make the Changsun family the leading wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty.
But now that he had such an opportunity to make money, how could he casually throw it away to others instead of to his own maternal clan?
After getting Li Chengqian's approval.
Naturally, the Changsun family is not willing to follow others, and now
It was because people went to Gaochangguo to invest.
However, their operations are different from those of the Zhai family.
The Zhai family set up shops in several counties, while the Changsun family set their sights on untouched counties.
There are really many counties in Gaochang State, there are more than ten or twenty.
But Changsun Wuji did not hesitate at all and directly established three branches in each county.
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as rural areas surrounding cities.
However, Li Chengqian forgot one question.
That means there is some preference for one over the other.
After all, Changsun Wuji was not the only gangster in the Tang Dynasty.
There are two others.
One is his father-in-law, and the other is an old guy who is messy and shameless to the extreme.
Just a few days after Changsun's family started making money.
Cheng Yaojin committed suicide directly.
He directly went to Li Chengqian who was at work and said: "Your Highness, you can't be so kind to others when doing things. Why do you only think about your uncle when there is a good thing, but you can't think about your Uncle Cheng?"
"Could it be that your Uncle Cheng is not good to you?"
"Is it the loach that doesn't taste good, or the beef that doesn't taste good?"
Cheng Yaojin sat down opposite Li Chengqian and said: "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will stay here and keep eating and drinking from you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian also had a bitter look on his face.
Based on his understanding of Cheng Yaojin, this guy's words are really not just words.
If you can't give him an explanation, the consequence will naturally be that you will be annoyed to death by this guy.
"Uncle Cheng, you are really a little anxious."
Li Chengqian said sincerely: "You know me well. Is there anything good that my nephew can do without thinking of you?"
"shit!"
Cheng Yaojin said with disdain: "You didn't think about me when you did something good this time."
"Oh, this is not the current Gaochang Is the situation a little unclear?"
"If all the situation had been figured out, wouldn't I have told you earlier?"
Li Chengqian looked like he had been greatly wronged and said, "So Uncle Cheng, you are really unfair to me by saying that you favor one over the other."
Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin was also stunned.
What's going on?
From what this guy said, it seems like there are good things waiting for me?
In an instant, Cheng Yaojin's face suddenly changed and he said: "His Highness, what do you think you're going to leave me, old Cheng, with a huge deal?"
"Of course."
Li Chengqian said seriously: "I really left a huge deal for Uncle Cheng."
"only……"
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian suddenly paused.
Cheng Yaojin, who was already interested, said directly: "Your Highness, please stop being so pretentious and say it quickly."
"It's just that it's really difficult to start this business."
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed: "You also know that Gaochang State is such a big place."
"But in that big place, there are two major merchant families, the Changsun family and the Zhai family, guarding it."
"If I let you in at this moment, it would be the same as throwing money in for nothing."
Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly.
He said: "That Changsun Laoyin..."
I thought of scolding his uncle in front of Li Chengqian.
Cheng Yaojin simply swallowed the second half of his words.
He said: "The Zhai family and the Changsun family are both experts in doing business. Uncle Cheng and I really don't have the guts to touch them."
"so."
"I specially reserved a good place for Uncle Cheng."
While speaking, Li Chengqian smiled innocently at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin knew Li Chengqian well, so when he saw his smile, he suddenly felt bad.
