Fu Song

Chapter 284
Tian Chou's determination is of course justified.

Xiao Cheng has too many things to do, too big, if he wants to do it alone, it is basically impossible to do it.So, he needs allies, powerful allies.

But for what he wants to do, allies are really hard to find.

Some have no vision, some have no guts.

As for myself, I have both.

For Xiao Cheng, the existence of his Tian Chou is like rain from heaven, and the two are a pair made in heaven.

Moreover, Xiao Cheng is indeed very frank.

He does not shy away from possible disputes and conflicts between the two companies in the future. The two have conducted in-depth discussions on this, but there is one point that they agree on.

That is, as long as the blade is kept outward, even if there are internal conflicts, they can be resolved within a very small range without affecting the overall situation.

Of course, in this process, both sides have to adapt to each other and also need to make changes.In particular, Tian's family-style rule will inevitably become an obstacle between the two alliances in the future, and reform is also necessary.

But just thinking about what Xiao Cheng said to Tian Chou, Tian Chou's heart became hot again.

Do you want to be the Tian family of Sizhou, or the Tian family of Kyushu?

In Sizhou, the Tian family is the supreme existence, but in Bianliang, in front of those big families that have really passed on for a long time, if the Tian family wants to enter the house, it depends on whether the other party is happy or not. This is enough to make Tian Chou make up his mind. Determined.

Even that old fellow Yang Qing is determined to follow Xiao Cheng, let alone himself!

How simple it is with the blade facing outwards.

Right now, they have united and almost completely wiped out the dozens of Jimi prefectures in Qianzhou. Next, it will naturally be the turn of Luo Dian ghost country, and after that, Dali will be placed in front of them fragrantly.You can also reach out to Guangxi Road, where the Yi people also have a tradition of disobedience to Wang Hua.When all these are subdued, there is still the Li Dynasty in Vietnam. Why can't Vietnam be turned into Jiaozhi or Nanyue County or Nanyue Road?
The world is so big and boundless!

The merchants of the Song Dynasty have traveled all over the world, and even the sails of the merchants of the Song Dynasty can be seen everywhere on the vast sea. The people of the Song Dynasty have a very broad vision of the world.

Therefore, expanding your influence outward is basically endless, as long as your strength allows.

certainly.When the strength has developed to a certain stage, everyone's attention will turn to the country.

Because at that time, expanding outward to obtain benefits has become something everyone has to do, and without much push, the people of Song Dynasty who want to make a fortune will spontaneously organize and launch round after round wheel expansion.However, as pioneers, they have already taken advantage of the position, but they have to turn their attention to the country.

Because at this time, it is inevitable to solve domestic problems, otherwise it will inevitably drag down the pace of the entire Song Dynasty's outward development.

Of course not infighting.

Xiao Cheng's goal is obvious. At this stage, their goal is the emperor.

Of course not rebellion.

What they want is nothing more than the right to speak and do things.

We can worship the emperor, but please don't interfere with our right to do things.

Xiao Cheng's goal is too big!

Sometimes Tian Chou thinks about it, even if everything goes smoothly step by step according to the plan formulated by Xiao Cheng, they may not be able to finish all this in their lifetime.

"Set rules, pave roads, and plant trees!" Xiao Cheng said to him, "It doesn't have to be done by us, but when future generations complete these things, your name and mine will definitely be listed in the history books." Immortal forever."

So Tian Chou is sure that as long as he is still on this road, Xiao Cheng will not do anything to him.

Because we will always be friends.

The children of the Tian family packed up and set off to serve as officials in various parts of Qianzhou. The same was true for the Yang family. The talents under Xiao Cheng gathered in two directions, one was generals, the other was shopping malls. Many, but this is the strength of the Tian Yang family.

They are no different from the traditional Han family.Scholars in the family can easily take out a lot.

"Patriarch, are you really going to send out this notice?" An old man took a notice printed by Tian Chou and said hesitantly: "Once it is implemented, it is conceivable that merchants from other places will inevitably bring a large number of goods into the store." Coming to our Sizhou, when the time comes, it will definitely have a great impact on our Sizhou. I am afraid that many people's interests will be lost, and our tax revenue will also be greatly affected. "

Tian Chou smiled calmly: "Third Uncle, how much is the commercial tax of Sizhou for a year?"

The old man known as the third uncle smiled awkwardly. The commercial tax in Sizhou is really not worth mentioning.Because in Sizhou, almost all profitable businesses have only one owner, and that is Tian's.When outside businessmen want to enter Sizhou, all kinds of exorbitant taxes and difficulties will make them quit.

Of course, only a small part of the profits from these businesses went into the family's public treasury, and most of them became the interests of the Tian clan.

"Other people's caravans can enter Sizhou, and our caravans can naturally enter the other party's territory." Tian Chou said with a smile: "What can we do if we only focus on our own three-acre land? Let them Get out there, compete with other people, grab it."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with the outsiders!" Third Uncle whispered, "They used to do business, where was there any real competition?"

"That's why we should drive them into the sea, into the jungle where the weak and the strong prey on them, and let them fight for their lives and struggle. Instead of lying in the comfort zone created for them by the family and thinking how great they are," Tian Chou said sharply. Said: "Several uncles, everyone said that Tian Yi was a dandy before, but in the past two years, you have all noticed how he has changed. This is the result of being thrown outside. Even if they If you lose, and come back to Sizhou covered in bruises, how can you lose a bowl of food for them? If you want to fight again, we will give you the capital, if you don’t want to fight anymore, then you can eat a bowl of idle food, and you won’t starve to death.”

Although it has only been less than a year on the ground under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou, Tian Chou has already discovered the huge changes.

The most important of these is the economy, which suddenly seems to come alive.

In the past, each occupied land as the king, and the taxes and taxes were all casually made by the grass-headed kings. Every time they passed a land, they had to pay a tax, and the goods transported to the land had long since changed beyond recognition, and the price was extremely high. gratifying.Come and go, who still does business?In the end, only the grass-headed king's own caravan remained.

But not every family can be friendly. Along the way, if one is not careful, all the goods and people will be lost.

It can be said that commerce on this land has basically been stifled.

But now, those barriers have all been broken down.

There is only one tax to pay, and then there is no hindrance.

Business seems to have flourished on this land overnight.

Even though the conditions are still extremely poor, each workshop has started to produce desperately. Guizhou's main local products such as tung oil and raw lacquer have been continuously shipped out, while more products have come in from outside.

A tax of [-] out of [-] is not very good for businessmen.

After one quarter, everyone including Tian Chou found that the income seemed to far exceed their expectations.

The Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce is naturally the biggest beneficiary of this wave of wealth harvest.

The Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce does not operate those small businesses. Those things are reserved for ordinary people to support their families. They only operate one thing, which is the sale and purchase of bulk goods.

The number of Qianzhou Dingkou re-registered has exceeded one million, and it is expected that more hidden people will be dug out in the future.Officials in other places are afraid that there are too many people and it will be difficult to support them, but Xiao Cheng just thinks that there are too few people.

He has too much to do.

Business is booming, and he wants to build roads.

To make full use of the few places suitable for growing crops in Qianzhou, he wants to promote water conservancy.

People are needed there.

Of course, money is needed there too.

Whether it is the various taxes collected by Qianzhou or the profits earned by the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce from doing business, Xiao Cheng has already said that within three years, everyone should not think about dividends, because the profits will be invested in the construction of Qianzhou among them.

Xiao Cheng agreed, Tian Chou agreed, and Yang Qing agreed.

Others have to agree if they disagree.

Xiao Cheng even used Jiang Yingxue to borrow a large amount of money from big businessmen in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian to deal with the large amount of capital investment needed at the moment.

The whole Qianzhou is very busy, very busy.

But everyone is living an incomparably fulfilling life, and a huge amount of money is invested in it, which will naturally bring about significant changes.

It's not very good, but the gravel road that allows a horse-drawn carriage to pass freely no matter it's raining or sunny is getting longer day by day, ditches are appearing in the fields, rivers, and ponds are appearing Huge waterwheels are constantly picking up water and pouring it into the ditch, and then it flows to the land that needs to be irrigated.

This land has never been so peaceful in decades.

Because now, only officers and soldiers are left to ride horses with swords and bows. Those armed men of all kinds in the past either put down their swords and guns and picked up hoes to farm the land, or they went to various places in shackles. The coolies in the mines, of course, there are still some unfortunate ones who reported to Lord Yan Wang.

Those who work hard, or go to the king of Hades, there are many old men who were high above them in the past.

But under the swords and guns of officers and soldiers, there is no difference.

For ordinary people, life is much better.First of all, daily groceries have become cheaper, like salt, which used to cost more than ten yuan a catty, but now the price has plummeted to only a few cents a catty, and there is basically no sand in it.The prices of many commodities fell sharply, and the common people even saw two merchants swearing at each other and lowering their prices in order to sell their goods.

Of course, what these common people don’t know is that these two merchants who seem to be at odds with each other are originally a family, but they are just divided into two households. In fact, they just bought back these goods at a normal price.

There is no profiteering, no business, there is really nothing wrong with it.

Of course, for the common people, this price is much better than before.

You can open up wasteland as you like, and no master will jump out and say that this wasteland is his, and this mountain forest is also his.

Although those officials who just took office are still very vicious, they are still willing to do things.

I don’t have any tools, so I’ll lend you the best iron farming tools!
No seeds, I will lend you the good stuff with full grains.

I don't have any big animals, I'll lend them to you, as long as they don't hurt or kill Luo.

As long as you pay a penny, you can pay it off in autumn.

The government even thought that they had opened up too little wasteland and borrowed too little, so they often came to the house to do work, telling them not to be too lazy, but to be more diligent, open up more wasteland, plant more fields, and cultivate more fields. The common people were at a loss.

Of course, the common people don't know that the rules set by Xiao Cheng, the evaluation of the performance of officials in a place is how much wasteland has been opened up and how many acres of fertile land have been increased, which is also one of the items.

There are fewer bandits.

Most of them went down the mountain honestly and went to the government to borrow.The government dares to keep its word and let the past go.But there is a time limit. If you don’t surrender within three months from the date of the announcement, you are going to have your head killed.Some of those who didn't believe in evil had hung their heads on the road early, and the rest were preparing to run away.This land is no longer easy to live in. The officers and soldiers who crusade against them are more like thieves than them. They seize their methods and make them unheard of and unseen.It's not like those soldiers in the past beat drums and lined up to search from place to place.

Now those officers and soldiers who are suppressing bandits often break into the bandits' lairs in the middle of the night and then wipe the bandits' necks with knives.

In short, for Xiao Cheng, the form is not generally good, but a great one.

Of course, there are also those who are not convinced.

For example, in Puning Prefecture, those who are close to Luo Dian Ghost Country are stronger and consciously rely on them. They disdain Xiao Cheng's orders, so they are not surprised to receive Xiao Cheng's head-on blow.

Xiao Cheng's next goal is the Luo Dian ghost country, and you, Puning Prefecture, have come to your door at this time.Yang Wanfu, the Tianwu Army under the command of Wei Wu, divided his troops into two groups and entered Puning Prefecture. In just three to five days, the two groups of soldiers and horses had already encircled Suojia County of Puning Prefecture.

The officers and soldiers progressed so fast that the messengers from Puning Prefecture who went to Luodian Ghost Country to ask for help hadn't reached the place, and they couldn't hold on here.

Those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish.

The current Xiao Cheng simply has no time to reason with these people.
