I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister

Lin Beifan smiled and said: "Now, everyone in the world knows that all the feudal lords have the intention of treason and are hostile to our court! If you do business with the vassal kings, you will definitely not be accepted by my court! Among the various feudal kings, They hate each other! Therefore, merchants can only do business with one of the forces!"

"In such a horizontal comparison, my imperial court has a large amount of raw material resources, the cement produced is high-quality and cheap, and it also has a vast market. Merchants will only choose other people if they are brain-dead!"

The empress clapped her hands again: "Good good good! You said it~ good!"

"Fifth, in addition to giving the major merchants the right to distribute cement, we also gave them generous tax incentives, but the major feudal lords only want to make money, and they will definitely not be liked by the major merchants!"

"There is a sixth!"

Lin Beifan glanced at the civil and military officials on the left and right, and said with a smile: "We took the opportunity to attract all the rich people in the world! They have invested a huge amount of resources in our new city, and the cost is huge, and they must be rewarded!"

"If you switch to someone else's family at this time, this loss will not come back! Therefore, they have already been tied to my Dawu's boat, and they have no choice but to choose my Dawu!"

The empress laughed heartily, and clapped her hands and said, "Aiqing, what you said is really good! I was a little worried at first, but now after listening to your words, I realize that there is no need to worry at all!"

The other officials looked at Lin Beifan's triumphant expression, and thought secretly.

At this time, the land of northern Hebei.

The King of Northern Hebei is still dreaming of making a fortune in Spring and Autumn.

Almost every day, he called the military division over for questioning.

"Military division, how is the investment promotion going now, how many people have signed up?" the king of Jibei asked earnestly.

Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser, bowed his hands very calmly: "My lord, the business invitation announcement has just been announced to the world, and the work has just started, so there are no wealthy businessmen who have come to sign up! But I believe that in a few days, there will be a lot of people who will respond!"

The king of Jibei patted the military division on the shoulder in relief: "The military division is right, this king is too anxious!"

Another day later, the king of Jibei called the military division again.

"Master, how is the situation today?"

Mr. Zhuge was still calm: "My lord, there is still no one to sign up! My subordinates suspect that they just received the news yesterday and only set off to come to northern Hebei today. There should be good news in the next two days!"

The king of Jibei smiled all over his face: "What the military adviser said is very true! There should be good news in the next two days!"

On the third day, the king of Jibei couldn't bear to call the military division again.

"Military division, how about today's situation, is there a wealthy businessman here to vote?"

Mr. Zhuge calmly said: "Your Majesty, no one came today! It may be that you are tired from the long journey, and you will come tomorrow after you rest for a day and prepare to score points! After all, these big businessmen are very particular about etiquette. No wonder! My lord, wait for my good news!"

"Military Master, I trust you!"

Day 4, Day 5...

Every day, the king of Jibei called the military division for questioning.

However, all the news I got was that there was no one, and there was almost no progress in the matter.

Gradually, Mr. Zhuge also became restless.

It's been 5 days, why is there no one?

On Lin Beifan's side, on the second day of the notification, a group of wealthy businessmen came from the capital immediately.

On the third day, wealthy businessmen from surrounding cities all came.

On the fourth day, famous families, wealthy businessmen and tycoons from a little farther away also came.

Every day that followed could be described as a cloud of responders and a bustling crowd.

Why come to him, the situation is completely opposite?

For 5 days, not a single person could be seen, the door was deserted and deserted, miserable and miserable!

Where have all these wealthy businessmen gone?

Could it be that he went to other feudal lords?

Gradually, the King of Jibei also became a little impatient: "Military division, it's been almost a week, why can't I see anyone? Even if people are in Wuxi, they can come here, can you give Ben Wang, explain?"

Mr. Zhuge was sweating profusely: "My lord, I suspect that there may be some problems!"

"What's the problem?" King Jibei asked.

"This... this..." Mr. Zhuge's face became more sweaty.

Rack your brains and weave excuses.

But this situation was noticed by the King of Jibei, his face was unhappy, he snorted, and left with his hands behind his back: "Military Master, if there is no good news tomorrow, you can figure it out!"

"My lord! My lord, listen to my subordinates..." Mr. Zhuge rushed out, but he couldn't catch up with his footsteps.

His heart was full of bitterness, because he knew that the prince was really angry.

The angry prince is terrifying!

"It seems that we can only do this temporarily!" Mr. Zhuge gritted his teeth.

In the evening, he invited the rich merchants in the city.

In the end, I only saw two or three kittens, and the business scale was only in the early 3 to [-] taels. Many of them could not be named, and they frowned: "Why are there only a few of you, and the others?"

The businessmen present looked at each other in blank dismay, and one of the more prestigious businessmen cupped his hands and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhuge, the others have already left Hebei to do business outside!"

Mr. Zhuge frowned again: "Go outside to do business? Isn't it good in northern Hebei?"

"This..." The merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, without answering in silence.

Only then did Mr. Zhuge realize that the previous trouble of horse bandits had caused too much impact, bigger than he imagined!

"Forget it, let's not talk about them today!"

Mr. Zhuge changed the topic and showed a self-confident smile: "Today, the old man called you here, because there is a good fortune for you! As long as you hold on tightly, you will surely make a lot of money and make a lot of money every day! "

"Mr. Zhuge, what good fortune?" Someone asked.

"Have you heard of cement, the magical tool for building houses?" Mr. Zhuge said in a seductive tone: "Our palace can also produce cement! So, here is your chance to make a fortune!"

After explaining the matter, Mr. Zhuge left contentedly.

He believes that these businessmen will be ecstatic and grateful when they know that they have the opportunity to obtain the distribution rights of cement.

In this way, he can easily explain to the prince.

However, after he left, the merchants present looked bitter.

"I knew it earlier, we ran away too!"

"You also said to give us the distribution rights of cement? Huh! It's clear that they want to make money from us!"

"Yes, if we want to obtain the right to sell cement, we must first pay a lot of supplies! But after the trouble of horse bandits, where do we have any money?"

"Even if we get the cement distribution rights, there are poor people everywhere, where can we sell to?"

"My lord, then you want to force us to death with empty hands and white wolves!"

0 ················································

"I'm afraid that if I get rich, there will be another round of horse bandits! Alas, this day is really impossible!"

……

At this time, an elderly businessman gritted his teeth and said, "Dear comrades, there is still time to run! If we don't run, we really will have no way to survive!"

They looked at each other and nodded heavily.

On the second day, in the palace.

King Jibei called Mr. Zhuge again.

"Military division, what's the situation now? I have to listen to the truth and don't try to fool me!"

This time, Mr. Zhuge was full of confidence. He patted his chest and said, "My lord, don't worry! In fact, some wealthy businessmen contacted me last night, saying that they are very interested in cement! After a while, they will join hands come!

"Really? I happen to have time, so I'll wait with you!" King Jibei smiled brightly.

As a result, a stick of incense time passed, and there was still no one to be seen.

Another stick of incense time passed, but there was still no one to be seen.

King Jibei's face gradually became gloomy, and he looked at Mr. Zhuge with hidden anger.

 …  

Mr. Zhuge panicked, and said: "My lord, they may have been delayed by something, this subordinate will ask someone to urge them here!"

As a result, the person who called to go ran back quickly: "Mr. Zhuge, it's not good! The subordinates went down to their home and store, and found that the building was empty! They all... ran away!"

"What? Run away?" Mr. Zhuge limp.

The other princes did not end well either.

The land in the south of the Yangtze River is full of merchants, and it stands to reason that you should be able to find cement dealers.

However, Jiangnan Wang looked sad.

At the beginning, Jiangnan Wang sent invitations to various wealthy businessmen to sell cement, and received a relatively positive response.

But when they heard that they could only be exchanged for food, their complexions immediately changed, and they all refused.

Because, after experiencing the flood and the fire that soared into the sky, food can be said to be in short supply in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price has even reached 3 to 4 times the usual price. There is a price but no market, and many people cannot afford it. It's food.

Even wealthy businessmen don't have much food on hand, they can only supply their own people.

At this time, the king of Jiangnan wants to exchange cement for food, isn't this a big deal?

People can live without housing, but they cannot live without food!

As a result, the two sides had a quarrel, and the cement business also blew up.

At this time, Wang Fugui came back with a sad face.

Jiangnan Wang asked hopefully: "How about it, can they agree? This king has already sold the cement at a discounted price!"

Wang Fugui spread his hands, his face full of bitterness: "My lord, they are still not willing to exchange, if you use money, you can!"

King Jiangnan jumped up angrily: "Is this king short of money? What this king lacks is food! Go back and tell them that this king only needs food! Just food! Just food!"

At this time, a general ran over: "My lord, there is no more food! If there is no more food to eat, the soldiers below will make trouble! What should I do?"

King Jiangnan had a fierce look in his eyes: "Since they don't cooperate, I can only grab it!"

In the end, the cement business was still not completed, but Jiangnan Wang snatched all the food from the merchants, causing the merchants to dare not speak out and become a laughing stock.

The land of Wuxi.

With the strong support of King Wuxi, Mr. Feng Chu held a grand investment promotion conference.

As a result, on the day of the meeting, no one came, and it was lonely!predict.

Chapter 231 The Great Trend of the World, Gathering in the Capital!

The same is true for other small feudal princes!

All became the joke of the world.

"The king of Jibei is really too funny. He wanted to sell cement to make money, but he scared away all the remaining businessmen!"

"The king of Jiangnan is the same. He wants to exchange cement for food! People can't eat enough to eat, so why would they consider building a house? If they don't agree, they rob them, driving the businessmen in Jiangnan crazy!"

"The funniest thing is King Wuxi! Who are you, don't you have any idea? Who dares to do business with you?"

"Other vassals can't do it either, they can't support the cement market at all!"

……

At this time, the desperate businessmen all went to the capital by coincidence.

"Daddy, why are you going to the capital?"

"There is no way to survive if you stay here, you can only go to the capital to ask for a living!"

"But didn't you keep saying that the capital is full of corrupt officials and rich and powerful, so it's impossible to do business there?"

"That was before, but now it's the other way around! Chaos is everywhere in Dawu, only the capital is relatively stable and safe! If we stay here, we may lose our lives! But if we go to the capital, we can still be disaster victims and earn a living!"

"It is said that the new city in the capital is being vigorously built, with millions of workers and many businessmen. The policy is more friendly to businessmen. This may be a way of life for us! , Mo Hong started,"

"Daddy, you are right, let's go to the capital!"
