my days with tyrants

Regarding Ambassador Yang's plan, the little princess' clients...

Completely incomprehensible.

Of course they couldn't understand it.

The top [-] clients of the little princess are all concubines, princesses, wives of princes, and at the very least, wives of commanders. These people may not even have been to Shanxi, so how could they understand his plan.

Besides, even if you have been to Shanxi, no one understands what rail transit is all about!
In fact, even the rail transit in Liaodong is constantly improving in the process of exploration, such as rest areas, inspection and quick replacement of damaged tracks, and traffic signal systems. Simply put, it is how to notify the vehicles in motion in time when a broken track is found. stop.For example, the midway maintenance of the vehicle, or even an unexpected detour, that is, switching to the opposite track, bypassing the accident area and then changing to the original track again.

Simply put, it is a turnout.

This has become a knowledge, even Yang Feng himself dare not understand it at this time, let alone these women.

but……

He just said how much he earns a year!
Anyway, now Daming is not allowed to sell smuggled salt, not to sell tea, not to open mines without permission...

There were not many ways to make money.

These wealthy nobles hold a lot of money in their hands, and all they can do is buy land, or let the slaves take it out to sell some groceries. Even overseas trade is actually very difficult.

So far, Zhu Yuanzhang has only opened trade among Korea, Japan, and Ryukyu.

That is to say, merchants from these three countries can sail to Daming and use treasure banknotes to trade. This can be said to be an iron rule. No matter what they originally carried, gold, silver, copper coins or other materials, they must be exchanged for treasure banknotes in Daming to purchase what they need. Once found It is forbidden to use other currencies, or even barter, and everything will be confiscated, and then beheaded for public display.

It's the same regardless of business.

However, it is still prohibited for Ming merchants to go to sea for trade.

He can't control it when he goes to sea.

What he wants is the banknotes of overseas trade to maintain the value of the banknotes.

Even if those foreign maritime merchants get the treasure banknotes with their left hand and spend them with their right hands, that is to support the currency value of the treasure banknotes. What's more, gold, silver and copper coins must be exchanged with banks before they can be used. He couldn't care what currency they used.

There is no way to force settlement.

After all, even if those businessmen earned a lot of precious metals overseas, they probably brought them back and hid them at home instead of exchanging them for precious money.

In this case, those rich and nobles who already hold a lot of treasures really lack interest in participating, and they don't lack treasures, what they want is real money.Although the banks are free to exchange, they are not stupid. A small amount of exchange is fine, but if it is a large-scale exchange, do they think that the emperor will not hack them to death?

Everyone knows the rules of the game.

What the emperor wanted was to use the guise of free exchange to maintain the value of the precious banknotes, coaxing the common people to use the precious banknotes, not to let them rich and nobles take the opportunity to exchange them for gold and silver.

They can be redeemed.

The bank will also exchange it for them.

But after the exchange, the emperor suddenly found them a crime and sent them to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison, that was another matter.

Therefore, for these rich and nobles, the precious banknotes they hold in their hands really need a good investment project, which can be turned into actual assets. In the past, they were deposited in banks.

After all, bank interest is stable.

At this time, a guy like Yang Feng, who can be said to be a gold-lettered signboard in terms of making money, suddenly proposes a big investment project, which of course will be welcomed. As for the plan, it is not important, what is important is Yang Feng's proposal.So the ladies only care about how much this project earns in a year, and no one cares about other things. As long as the earning is enough to attract people, then there is no problem at all...

"Thirty percent, thirty percent profit!"

Ambassador Yang pointed at the track route map drawn by himself with the pointer in his hand, and shouted at the jewels in front of him.

That's three to three.

He wasn't going to make money this way.

"Only [-]%?"

"That's right, it's only [-]% profit, and it will take several years to start."

……

The latter was dissatisfied.

"Everyone, why do you only think about the profit of the track company? Don't you think about the benefits that can be brought after having this track? You can go to Shanxi to open mines, do business, and open factories. From Shanxi to Datong and then to Hetao, you can profit not only from the freight on the road. Not to mention [-]% profit, even [-]% profit on this road, think about it, you have your own They spread Xuanda, Yansui, Ningxia, Gansu, all the way to Kaiping. If you open mines in Shanxi and sell them the things you build factories, would they be ashamed not to buy them? Their weapons, armor, clothes Military uniforms and even food and canned food, isn’t this a big business that makes money?
And they are in the towns along the border, those herdsmen who surrendered to Daming have furs and horses, aren't these profitable?
You guys!
I don't even know how to make money. "

Yang Feng pointed at these women with hatred and said.

This is called foreign investment.

It is also a good thing to introduce a lot of wealthy investors to Shanxi to develop the economy. Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would have to transport the materials needed by the towns along the border. Now Shanxi is directly used as the production base to solve the problem nearby, reducing the transportation distance.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang designed it like this, but he relied on the salt industry.

Now Yang Feng doesn't care about his salt industry.

In addition to the original ones, the new supply channels have been greatly increased, the materials along the border have skyrocketed, and the capitalists of Ming Dynasty have been cultivated. In addition, the people of Shanxi have more ways to make money, and after two years, he will be able to recover the cost from this prosperous economy. .You must know that now he buys food with his own money, and then pays taxes for the people of Shanxi. This year's investment of 280 million shi will eventually be recovered from industry and commerce.

"But we just don't understand, so we asked you for advice!"

The little princess, her younger sister, Princess Ruyang, who is already married, said enchantingly.

While talking about looking at her sister.

Her sister was already there with a cold gleam in her eyes.

Her husband is also honorable, and her father-in-law Xie Yan is also one of the generals in Huaixi, but he was not ennobled, he just did the duties of the governor.

"Teach, of course I have to teach!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"But we are all in the capital, and our household registration is limited. If we go to Shanxi to open a mine and open a factory, there are restrictions on our domicile, and there is no certainty about the court's laws. If your Majesty commits a crime at that time, the loss will not be worth the loss. .”

A middle-aged lady said.

At this time, membership management is extremely strict.

They are from various guards in the capital, and it is impossible to go to Shanxi to do business for a long time. At most, they will be their domestic slaves, but if they are domestic slaves, the issue of belonging is also involved, because the origin of domestic slaves is with the master, of course there is no problem in doing business. But if it is a businessman, it will be difficult to handle.As for the little princess's bank staff in various places, you don't have to care about that, but that's because the bank is essentially a tool of the emperor, except that it was opened by Yang Feng, whose nature is equivalent to that of King Ying and Roche in the late nineteenth century. In this case, those little things don't matter at all.Otherwise, the bank would not have spread throughout Daming like a plague in just a few years, and now the farthest branch has opened to Suzhou.

But these people can't do it.

The point is that this kind of thing is just the beginning, no one knows what the emperor thinks, how the rules will change in the future, it has to be safe.

"It's not easy? None of you command and envoys in Shanxi can't find an old department, partner with them, you pay money, they send people to manage, and they dare not be greedy for your money."

Yang Feng said.

This can solve the grievances of the generals in the command and envoy division of Shanxi.

The distribution of land for military households has already begun, which means that it is difficult for the generals of the guards to squeeze military households from this aspect. They must be given new directions to make money, and they must be guided to invest in industry and commerce.It's all right now, these wealthy aristocrats in the capital are responsible for paying the money, and their partners in Shanxi are responsible for paying the people, and then rely on their connections to ensure sales.

this point is very important.

It is not easy for ordinary merchants in Shanxi to sell their goods to the army.

Networking is a long process.

But these people don't need to.

Just like the king of Liao is booming in Liaodong, the essential reason is that he doesn't have to think about his contacts, they have to come to him.

A group of noble ladies immediately began to discuss in a low voice, and it was obvious that they were a little tempted. The key point is that they really have no good investment options. This is the case in Daming. The emperor has a series of restrictions, which have tied their hands and feet long ago.Now that Shanxi is the only piece of land that has been lifted from the ban, it is undoubtedly the best choice, and there is no compensation left or right. If it is true what Yang Feng said, then the precious money in their hands can be changed from paper to actual assets.

"I buy stocks!"

Princess Ruyang was the first to shout.

"It is always one share, and it will be counted from the day when the track is repaired to Datong, and the profit will be divided according to the income every year, and the profit can also be used to buy stocks first.

After all, the road is not only repaired to Datong.

I even plan to build one from Taiyuan to the south, all the way to Puzhou. "

Yang Feng said.

So he is actually repairing the Daming version of the Tongpu Railway.

In fact, not only he is repairing, Zhu Yuanzhang is also preparing to repair. Now some road builders in Liaodong have been transferred to Luoyang. Next, they are going to build wooden rail traffic between Luoyang and Shanzhou. After all, the one in Liaodong has already verified its value. .

"I'll buy [-] shares!"

Princess Ruyang shouted angrily.

"Go find your sister!"

Yang Feng said.

Then other women started too...

In the end, Yang Feng actually received 50 yuan in the first phase of the stock offering, so his Sanjin Rail Transit Company will be able to officially operate next.

At the same time, the affairs of the Jin Dynasty were also settled. The son of the Jin Dynasty, Zhu Jixi, formally succeeded the King of Jin, and the Jin Dynasty moved to Shuofang. county.The three guards of the Jin Dynasty selected one of the military households as the middle guard of Shuofang to move with the king of Jin. The left guard of Dongsheng was changed to the left guard of Shuofang, and the right guard of Dongsheng was the right guard of Shuofang. The three guards were still maintained.However, Shuofang Mansion is still a military and civilian mansion, so it is not affiliated to the Shanxi Chief Envoy, but to the Shanxi Xingdusi. In this way, the Jin Fan was finally driven out of Shanxi.

At the same time, the king of Zhou moved to Huangzhong.

Take the Acropolis of Xining as the feudal city of King Zhou.

Like the Jin Fan, one of the guards of the original Zhou Fan guards was selected to go west together as the Xining Central Guard. The original Xining Guard was divided into two parts, and then transferred from other places, and finally changed to the left and right guards of Xining.

This is still three guards.

As for the lack of sources of livelihood for King Zhou...

Ambassador Yang did it.

Just a little thing.

"My lord, I also know that you are indeed a little unhappy when you are transferred to such a poor place all of a sudden."

Yang Feng looked at King Zhou who was summoned to Beijing.

The latter is not only unhappy, it can be said that he is like a walking dead. When he was forced by his nephew to accept Huangzhong as a fief, he didn't know it very well. He only knew that it was under the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty. Can't say too bad either.

At least it has to be about the same as King Jin.

however……

When I inquired about it during this period of time, it was simply cold all over.

That's almost the same!
What a world of difference!
The comparison between Huangzhong and Shuofang is the same as the difference between Shuofang and Taiyuan. Shuofang is a plain after all, and Hetao has been able to farm since ancient times, but Tamahuangzhong is completely a valley!In the past, there was only one guard in Xining, and life was very difficult. Now three guards have passed by, let's all enjoy the wind together!Now that his father returned the salary, he could indeed make do with it, but when his nephew succeeded to the throne and stopped the salary, the whole family would really be upset.

Poor King Zhou, he has been visibly haggard for a while.

"So, you need to find your majesty, especially the emperor's grandson, to ask for a salt industry license, allowing you to mine salt there and sell it to Shaanxi and Shanxi Xingdusi."

Yang Feng said.

"Is there any salt there?"

King Zhou's eyes widened instantly.

"Don't your majesty know that there is something called green salt?

Five hundred miles away from Xining City, there is a large salt lake, where there is an inexhaustible supply of high-quality green salt. You don’t even need sun-dried salt and fried salt. That's all, the camel caravan is enough to handle it.Besides, it can be transported by boat on Qinghai Lake, and the upper reaches of the Yellow River are also in your hands, and it can be marketed to the Hetao downstream. In addition, Gansu, Longyou and even Hanzhong can be used as markets.

The only problem is that the local motley tribe might covet it. "

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, Xiao Wang Suifei is not used to fighting, but if the three guards pass by, no tribe in this world can resist it. If this is the case, Xiao Wang will be grateful for the ambassador's kindness for generations."

King Zhou said.

Then he got up in a hurry and went to find his nephew.

So it's really simple, Qinghai is indeed poor, and there is not much land for farming, but in this era when salt is hard currency, do you still worry about your livelihood when you own the largest salt mine?Going to the Qaidam Basin to mine salt was indeed a bit difficult for Zhou Wang, after all, the distance was too far, but the problem was that there were already mined salts not far away at this time.Chaka Salt Lake is in Ulan, just across Qinghai Lake from Xining. The green salt there was a tribute during the Tianshun period of the Ming Dynasty. Salt has been sold to Lanzhou and other places.

That's a great place!
