The details of the negotiation were handed over to his subordinates. Nangong Zhi arranged a sumptuous banquet at noon, and Zhang Hao also got to know each other with important personnel under Nangong Zhi.
However, in Zhang Hao's opinion, this banquet is more like the Hongmen Banquet. Zhang Hao needs to face everyone's anger!
Yes, Zhang Hao proposed the idea of economic unification, but he also proposed the development of industry and commerce, which means... Nangong Zhi is going to start cutting off the nobility and privileged classes!
So Nangong Zhi pushed Zhang Hao to the front desk at the banquet.
Zhang Hao's heart was full of pity. Young Master, I took all precautions, but I didn't expect this old fox to dig a hole here.
Nangong Zhi’s important subordinates are not polite to him, but they are not facing Nangong Zhi himself. Therefore, everyone’s tone is not very good sometimes.
For example, Military Advisor Fang Rong, the number one think tank under Nangong Zhi, had just started the banquet. Everyone had just drank a glass of wine and before they had time to move their chopsticks, he said, "Minister Zhang, the idea of economic unification you put forward amazes me."
, 'looks like' it does work.
But there is an important question, that is, what should we do with the heroes?"
Zhang Hao represents the country of Qixia, so it is appropriate to call him ‘Minister Zhang’. And the questions raised by Fang Rong are also very sharp.
Meritorious officials have always been an unavoidable issue. They are usually rewarded and gradually become a noble class. The governance of the country also needs to rely on these meritorious officials and future nobles.
In addition, many emperors killed meritorious officials. But no matter what, they must be rewarded.
But if Zhang Hao's proposal is followed, the aristocracy must be abolished. Abolition is not a problem, but how to ensure the interests of the heroes? Without interests, who would work for you Nangong Zhi?
It cannot be ruled out that there are some who are completely loyal and those who are upright and upright, but there are not many such people after all. If you want to unify the Shaoze Kingdom, you will inevitably have to unite a large number of people who "come for profit".
Nangong Zhi also stared at Zhang Hao closely, not wanting to miss a word.
Zhang Hao smiled generously, "Before answering the question, I would like to ask the military advisor a question. Do you think the current aristocratic system can bring a prosperous and long-term future to the country?"
Fang Rong frowned slightly. He looked around and sighed for a while, "From a long-term perspective, most traditional aristocratic models are difficult to last. According to past experience, after a country is stabilized, within fifty years, the aristocracy will
It can be reduced by half; within a hundred years it will be reduced by half again.
After two hundred years, most of the remaining nobles have become corrupt. Especially as the older generation dies, the new nobles often become a burden to the country.
These noble disciples have not received the kindness of the king and do not know the difficulties of starting a business; but they also enjoy the glory and status left by their elders! Over time, the degradation of noble disciples is inevitable.
As a noble's son, it is difficult for the emperor to take action. This inadvertently increases the arrogance of the noble children. The emperor and the nobles will gradually become opposites.
If the founding emperor were there, it would be okay. But if the new emperor cannot convince these noble sons, the country will be in turmoil.
In fact, at least half of the country will not be able to survive this crisis!"
Zhang Hao's smile became even more profound, "Thank you, the military advisor, for your honesty. Then let me ask again, what will happen to the nobles if the country becomes weak?"
Fang Rong took a deep breath, "The current Shaoze Kingdom is the best example! The country is weak, and our so-called nobles are just cows. They look stronger than sheep, but they are still enslaved and exploited! Even,
Beheaded and brought to the table!”
Fang Rong pointed to the 'whole cow' being grilled in the venue.
When Fang Rong said these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. The generals, think tanks, etc. present, looked at the 'roasted whole cow' rolling in the flames, and their expressions became gloomy. They seemed to have seen the future of their descendants.
Some people wanted to refute, but they opened their mouths but couldn't say anything. Because what Fang Rong said was the truth! And it happened right next to him. The country of Shaoze was constantly exploited and oppressed by the surrounding countries, and it was precarious.
Zhang Hao stood up slowly, "That's right. If the skin is gone, the hair will be there! The country is the basis for the survival of all nobles, and the nobles are just the skin that exists on the country.
In fact, all nobles understand this truth. But almost all nobles are fighting for power!
Judging from past experience, the aristocratic system... must be eliminated! But the meritorious officials must be rewarded. Not only must they be rewarded, but they must also be given a future, a glorious future!
I dare not say more, but at least I should rest with my country!"
"Well said!" Nangong Zhi took the initiative to speak. "Then, sir, if there are no nobles, how can we reward them?"
Zhang Hao looked around and saw a group of bright eyes. Zhang Hao did not answer directly, but asked again, "Everyone, I have a question to ask you. Everyone feels that a noble, a family, and a sect want to last for a long time."
existence, what do you think we should pay attention to?”
This question is very difficult to answer.
Everyone spoke one after another, some said it was about cultivation, some said it was about people's hearts, some said it was about masters, some said it was about Kung Fu. Even Nangong Zhi and Fang Rong tried to answer.
"None of them are right!" Zhang Hao stood up with firm words and a high-spirited attitude, "In fact, no matter what kind of organization wants to exist and exist for a long time, it needs a core!
Why did the aristocratic system in the past gradually become corrupted? Because they had no core, no core on which to stand and survive!
This core can bring endless life to the country and the family!
Taking our Dayang Group as an example, we have created miraculous achievements in less than a year. Our net profit from one voyage reached tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones in less than a month!
Just over twenty days ago, Dayang Group signed a cooperation agreement with Xuanzhen Sect. In the next three years, Dayang Group will build 10 steel battleships for Xuanzhen Sect, and Xuanzhen Sect will train 1,700 Nascent Souls for Dayang Group!"
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped. Cultivating 1,700 Nascent Souls in three years? It's scary to think about it. And a voyage only lasts a month, and the net profit is as high as tens of millions of spiritual stones.
These sound like fairy tales.
If Zhang Hao said now that it would take one year to cultivate 1,700 Nascent Souls, these people would probably stare out of their eyes.
And Nangong Zhi's eyes looked even brighter when he looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao slowly said, "In the next three years, Dayang Group plans to build 20 warships to completely connect with the west coast of the southern continent. After three years, our plan is to have a monthly net profit of 100 million high-grade spiritual stones!"
Everyone, the reason why Dayang Group can develop so fast is because we have a core.
The core is technology!
Such as artillery technology, such as black iron technology.
I reached an agreement with the general last night. We will invest in the construction of four factories, two black iron factories, and two artillery factories. After twenty years, the factory will be completely transferred to the general, and Dayang Group will withdraw all funds and personnel.
Don’t you think it’s incredible?
Don’t understand why we do this?
Then let me tell you, according to our plan, within the next twenty years, we expect that our profit will exceed 500 million high-grade spiritual stones, at least!
Why do we dare to make such calculations?
Because, technology!
We have the technology, but you don't.
Because we were able to negotiate with the general, the conditions I offered last night were already very low. But to be blunt, even if I said last night that the factory would always be in our Ocean Group, you would have to accept it.
In other words, because... you don’t have the technology! But we do!
No matter how much I want, as long as it is still within the tolerance range, or even slightly beyond the tolerance range, you can only accept it!
Without technology, you don’t even have room to bargain!
On the contrary, with the technology, we don’t have to worry about buyers. If you don’t want it, there are many people who want it and are rushing to get it!”
Zhang Hao's words echoed in the hall. However, everyone in the Nascent Soul Stage, including Nangong Zhi, a master in the Divine Transformation Stage, could only listen silently at this time.
Zhang Hao continued, "In the future, Dayang Group's goal is to become a huge multinational group.
Three years from now, Dayang Group is expected to have more than 2,000 Nascent Soul Stages and five Divine Transformation Stages.
Establish more than ten branches in the west of the Fertile Continent and the western part of the Big Earth Continent. It is estimated that the annual profit will be more than 1 billion high-grade spiritual stones! And build your own army.
In the development process of Dayang Group, Qixia Country even plans to build five groups, five groups like Dayang Group. We will take technology as the core and jointly promote the progress of Qixia Country.
The second large-scale group, Xinglintang Group, has entered the high-speed development channel. There is also the Royal Commercial Bank Yunying Trading Company, now renamed Yunying Group, and is also on the right track. It may not take half a year to enter the high-speed development channel.
In five years' time, the national fiscal revenue of Qixia Kingdom is expected to reach 3 billion high-grade spiritual stones. The country will make every effort to cultivate a group of Yuan Ying stage legions, and will make every effort to cultivate more gods in the transformation stage."
Everyone was breathless and frightened by Zhang Hao's words. They wanted to refute, but found that there was no way to refute.
Zhang Hao continued, "Everyone, this world is very big. Before I came, the Queen told me that we need an ally! An ally that can make progress together, support each other, trust each other, and have a common goal.
Looking at the Western countries in today's fertile continent, it is the country of Shaoze that best meets our expectations.
Because in the country of Shao Ze, the decline of the nobility is the best opportunity for change.
All heroes can choose to go into business. Using your military exploits and rewards, you can quickly lay the foundation for industry and commerce. Maybe one of you will be among the future multinational groups.
I hope that in the future, our sights will no longer be limited to the country, but should look to the entire world. What is the ability to dominate at home? If you have the ability to make money abroad!
I can tell you clearly that by the end of the year we will form a fleet, which is expected to have 10 steel battleships. We will destroy all the surface forces of Langya Kingdom. We will use giant ships and cannons to open the gate of Langya Kingdom! Langya Kingdom
The country must pay for its mistakes!
This is Dayang Group.
And this is also the new aristocracy. The aristocracy at the industrial and commercial level!
I, Zhang Hao, am only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but my subordinates... have thousands of Nascent Soul stages! Tens of thousands of Golden Core stages!"
After a short pause, Zhang Hao raised his glass and bowed, "Zhang Hao was reckless, please forgive me. I'll do it first as a token of respect."
After drinking, Zhang Hao sat down proudly and straight.
After a while, Nangong Zhi started to applaud, and then there was warm applause from all around. Zhang Hao's words made them see a new future. And the strength of Dayang Group also made them yearn for it. If we can also develop a group in the future
, what kind of aristocracy do you want?
As for what Zhang Hao said about attacking the Langya Kingdom at the end of the year, no one asked about it for the time being. Anyway, it is the end of the year, so let’s talk about it at the end of the year!
The applause lasted for a long time until Nangong Zhi said, "Minister Zhang, I would like to ask, how should technology... be developed?"
"General, don't worry. When the factory starts construction, we will invite the general to visit. In the factory, we will also train a group of technical workers for the general."
"Thank you then." Nangong Zhi said and stood up, "Come on, everyone, let's toast Zhang Hao! Thank you Zhang Hao for lighting up a new future for us!"
Zhang Hao sat in the guest seat without getting up, and just accepted everyone's toasts proudly.
Deep down in his heart, Zhang Hao just felt like something was coming out of the ground. After struggling for a year, it was finally someone else's turn to toast him, and he didn't need to get up.
This should be considered a big shot, right? At least somewhat.
With a thought in his heart, Zhang Hao's aura suddenly rose, and the true energy in his body suddenly swirled, collapsed, and gathered.
