The First Tyrant of Daxia

After reading it, Qin Yun smiled knowingly.

Wanyan Honglie was a man who got things done. There was no nonsense or flattery in the whole article. He just got down to work.

It gives people a trustworthy feeling.

Yue Nu took his arm and also saw the letter.

He sighed and said, "This Wanyan Honglie is really a timely help."

"Yes, he is worthy of my friendship. I will leave the intermediary task to him."

As he spoke, Qin Yun looked at the Jinyiwei and said, "Go and check quickly. There is a group of wealthy merchants coming from various places. Give them a good reception. Xiliang's trade still depends on their efforts."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei quickly retreated.

After about a few hours, it was almost dusk.

Qin Yun received news in the Protectorate that the group of wealthy businessmen invited by Wanyan Honglie to Tianlang City had arrived one after another.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards found out that many of these people had already arrived in Xiliang and were just visiting and observing.

They are businessmen, and their first criterion is profit. Whether or not they can make money is an important consideration for them.

Soon, this group of people were brought into the Protectorate.

Qin Yun sat in the main hall and received the guests.

There were twenty-three people, all very low-key, dressed modestly, not like nouveau riche, but if you look closely, you can see that those clothes are all made of top-quality fabrics!

"We pay our respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Everyone has come from afar, please stand up. Come on, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Many wealthy business representatives bowed and sat down a little nervously.

"I heard that you have already conducted an on-site investigation of Xiliang's current situation. What do you think?" Qin Yun went straight to the point.

Suddenly, the whole audience froze and their eyes flickered.

Then they all laughed and flattered, "Your Majesty is in charge of Xiliang, and Xiliang has recovered from the war."

"I'm afraid that in the near future, Your Majesty will be able to restore Xiliang's glory!"

"Yes, I think so too!"

"There is no war in all parts of Xiliang now, and people are living and working in peace and contentment. It's really enviable!"

"..."

Qin Yun felt contempt when listening to a group of wealthy businessmen and representatives fawning over him. Damn it, Xiliang is so poor now, how can these people say such things.

He said calmly, "I appreciate your congratulations, but after several wars in Xiliang, I still know how much it is worth."

Suddenly, the whole audience was embarrassed and silent.

Everyone looked at each other, each with their own little thoughts.

They came here only because they owed Wanyan Honglie a favor and also wanted to leave a good impression on Qin Yun.

But what they didn't expect was that the situation in Xiliang was so bad. Although the war was over, it was deserted and the population had migrated to the Central Plains.

It is really not worth it if we focus on business and still have to worry about war.

At this moment, Qin Yun was also observing them.

As an emperor, he could simply issue an order to force the people to migrate back and force the merchants to come here to do business.

But he was unwilling to do so and wanted to win people over with virtue.

He said calmly, "Everyone, have you thought about opening various branches this time?"

Someone immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I've made up my mind!"

"I would like to open a branch in Sirius City and sell cloth."

"And I, the common people, am willing to open a restaurant."

"I am also willing to invest and build a winery in Zigui City."

"..."

More than twenty people spoke up enthusiastically, as if they had discussed it beforehand.

It seems that they are signing up enthusiastically, but in fact they are just spending money to avoid disaster.

They don't trust the land of Xiliang at all, they just want to show their appreciation, that's all.

Inside the hall, Mr. Feng and others were all dissatisfied!

More than twenty stores, are you trying to get rid of beggars?

It sounds good, but in the vast territory of Xiliang, with so many cities, they are of no use.

Qin Yun was not angry, but tapped the table lightly, bang bang, as if tapping on everyone's heart.

They were quiet and didn't dare to look up.

"In fact, I know your concerns. There is no need to hide them. You just think that Xiliang is not worth investing in now."

"And you have to take the risk of fighting and losing everything, right?"

Hearing this, everyone blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

While I am afraid of Qin Yun, this is the situation.

The most they can do is to show their appreciation for the mess in Xiliang, and the rest will be left to time.

long silence.

Someone said, "Your Majesty, there are many wealthy businessmen in the Central Plains. I think you can transfer them here. If everyone contributes, Xiliang will be built up."

Qin Yun snorted: "Those bastards are still assessing the situation. They are afraid that I will go to war with the Turks!"

"I don't bother to force anyone."

"It's just that if they miss out on such a big piece of pie in Xiliang, they will miss out on it for the rest of their lives."

"If Wanyan Honglie hadn't pleaded for you, saying that you were willing to respond to my call, I would have let the court take it. Why would I give you this opportunity?"

He said deliberately, with his hands on his hips, extremely disdainful.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall looked up in unison, filled with astonishment, suspecting that they had heard wrongly.

Even Feng Lao and others cast suspicious glances.

What did your Majesty just say?

What pie?

Isn't this another unreasonable move?

The wealthy businessmen looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally a middle-aged man spoke tentatively: "Your Majesty, what did you mean by...Xiliang has such a big piece of the pie?"

Qin Yun knew that taking the initiative was worthless.

So he deliberately said contemptuously: "Humph, how can I tell you the secrets of Daxia?"

"I wanted to test your sincerity just now, but I didn't expect you to be so perfunctory!"

"Go down!"

He raised his hand and ordered them to leave.

Seeing this, Mr. Feng smiled knowingly, thinking that this was a tactic of playing hard to get.

Suddenly, the eyes of the wealthy businessmen flickered even more fiercely, and it didn't seem like Qin Yun was lying.

Curiosity and the taste for profit are their common problems.

My heart feels like being scratched by a cat.

He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we are all loyal subjects of Daxia. We have come thousands of miles to Xiliang to meet you. We just want to contribute to Xiliang and the court!"

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

"Is it about the privatization of ironware and government salt?"

Everyone spoke in unison, with a little anticipation, aiming at these big profits.

Qin Yun sneered: "No, not all of them."

Suddenly, disappointment was evident on the rich businessman's face.

Suddenly, no one spoke anymore and there was silence.

"But the pie I'm talking about is the entire Xiliang, which will become the richest place in Daxia in the future. Countless people will flock here and take root here, which will be a huge profit."

"Do you understand what I mean?" Qin Yun said calmly.

Everyone was suspicious, puzzled and doubtful!

Not to mention that Xiliang is now in decline, even in its heyday, it was not that rich. After all, it was a bitter and cold frontier land.

Apart from its world-famous war horses and strong military power, its trade is really average and its food supply is not good either.

They suspected that Qin Yun was just making empty promises.

Qin Yun seemed to see through their thoughts.

He said nonchalantly, "Why, you don't believe it?"

"I am not afraid to tell you that Xiliang is rich in mineral veins, jade, agate, gold and silver, which are countless."

"Do you think Xiliang will still be short of money and people in the future?"
