The First Tyrant of Daxia

Jinzhu, Nie Tu's face was shocked and he couldn't calm down.

So exaggerated?

They did not dare to be careless and immediately bowed their hands: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep it in mind and will carefully develop it and strive for success as soon as possible."

Qin Yun nodded, still feeling relieved about the two.

"Go ahead. If you have any questions, just tell the Royal Guards. It's safe there."

The two of them bowed and said yes, then left.

After entering the secret base, they were surrounded by the guards of the new cavalry from Xiliang.

Finished explaining.

Someone came to report.

"His Majesty!"

"Twenty-three wealthy merchants have already set up a main business in Tianlang City. Your Majesty is invited to come and take a look."

"They also said that they had prepared a surprise for your majesty."

Qin Yun grinned upon hearing this: "These businessmen are only interested in profit. If I hadn't revealed the gimmick of the mineral vein, I'm afraid they would have gone home today."

"Let's go, take me to see it."

"Look at what they've become after sitting on the bench for five days. If they're not sincere enough, I'll have no choice but to find someone else."

With that said, the group of people rode away.

Arrived at Sirius City.

This not-so-old city is much more lively today.

Dozens of well-known businesses in the Central Plains came here to open stores, covering everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Especially when each store opens, they invite a lion dance team to perform, which makes the event extremely lively.

The shopkeeper would shout a few words, then hold up a basin of copper coins and scatter them out, attracting countless people to scramble for them.

Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction. It turned out that whether in ancient times or in later times, commerce was an extremely important hub.

If Daxia really wants to become a giant, it is not enough to have good internal trade, it must also open up external trade.

If we isolate ourselves from the outside world, we are doomed to fall behind. Of course, this is all a matter for the future.

Afterwards, he arrived at a newly built restaurant in a low-key manner, which had not yet welcomed guests.

More than twenty wealthy businessmen gathered around.

With a smile on his face, he bowed and said, "We are here to see Your Majesty."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Get up."

"I am very happy to see that you can open a branch here."

Everyone looked at each other and understood the hidden meaning.

He immediately said, "Your Majesty, more than that!"

“There’s more than one.”

"My Luo's Cloth Shop plans to open seven cloth shops and a warehouse throughout Xiliang. We expect to recruit 120 employees."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes were shocked!

As a person of later generations, he knows very well the importance of a job, as it represents the livelihoods of one hundred and twenty families!

People in Daxia despise those who do business, but the emperor himself does not!

Business is the key to a country's prosperity, as can be seen from the huge expenditure on building the army!

Now that the invention of gunpowder had begun, there was another huge expense. The court was very rich, but it had to support childbirth, infrastructure, land distribution, weapon maintenance, military maintenance, pensions, etc.

Even he, the emperor, felt a headache!

The people are not rich and he has no way to collect taxes. This is a long-term plan.

"Very good, Luo's Cloth Shop, right? I will remember you!" Qin Yun said approvingly.

The representative of Luo's Cloth Shop was immediately delighted and knelt down immediately.

Upon hearing this, the other wealthy businessmen were unwilling to lag behind and rushed to speak.

"His Majesty!"

"As for my Tie Bank, we are willing to respond to your majesty's call and open ten branches, recruiting a total of 150 employees..."

"My Ping's Restaurant has eight restaurants, large and small, and we have recruited a total of 200 waiters..."

"I am Zhang..."

Suddenly, everyone spoke in unison, and there was chaos.

The mood in the entire restaurant suddenly became high, and they were afraid that they would not be able to perform in front of Qin Yun.

These people brought at least two hundred shops, recruited thousands of employees, and provided food for thousands of families.

It can be said that this is a big step towards rebuilding Xiliang.

Qin Yun was very happy.

"very good!"

"You are the first group of merchants to come to Xiliang after the war. I will remember you, and I also promise you that your investment here will not be a loss!"

"Within two years, you will make a lot of money."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they bowed with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It is our duty to do something for the court."

Qin Yun smiled and his eyes suddenly flashed, and he saw a few people standing behind the crowd in the restaurant.

He is a stranger and is not among the twenty-three wealthy businessmen.

The strange thing is that their clothes don’t fit them well and their faces are obviously not Han Chinese!

There were men and women, and they were also looking at Qin Yun at this moment.

"Who are you?" Qin Yun asked.

All of a sudden, the whole restaurant became quiet. The wealthy businessmen immediately separated, made way for someone, and bent over to wait.

"Your Majesty, these people are friends of Brother Wanyan from Wanbaozhai. They arrived later than us."

"They seem to be from the Western Regions."

"It is said that he came here at the invitation of Brother Wanyan." Someone reminded.

The voice just fell.

Those people stepped forward immediately.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a sheep-horned hat. He had an ordinary appearance, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets. He was a foreigner.

But they are not like the Turkic barbarians.

Wearing ill-fitting Hanfu, I knelt down.

"I will pay my respects to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Where are you from?"

"Jurchen?"

The middle-aged man looked nervous and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, we are not from the Turks, nor are we from the Jurchens. We are very good friends with the Han people. Please don't misunderstand me."

"It was indeed Brother Wanyan who arranged for us to come to Xiliang to meet His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please move aside to discuss the specific details. It is not convenient to talk about it here."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the wealthy businessmen were shocked!

You are so bold that you even ask Your Majesty to move aside for a detailed discussion. Could it be a huge business?

Mr. Feng and the others stepped forward with vigilant eyes.

Wanyan Honglie did not say that there was such a group of people coming to Xiliang to meet His Majesty. Moreover, they were foreigners, so it was hard not to worry whether they were assassins and spies.

Qin Yun examined these people for a while and said calmly, "What's your name?"

"My humble servant, Feng Qi!" the middle-aged man replied seriously. It was obvious that he was very nervous, and his hands were shaking constantly.

Qin Yun didn't say anything more.

He looked at the wealthy businessmen and said, "You should start your business first and be more generous in recruiting servants. The people of Xiliang have suffered a lot and have never had a good life in the past."

"I will host a banquet for you tonight."

The implication is that you cannot lower the wages.

How could the twenty-three wealthy businessmen dare to refuse? Even if it was just to have dinner with His Majesty, it would be worth it.

He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, everyone retreated, discussing in low voices, who were this group of foreigners introduced by Wanyan Honglie?

It seems that in the entire Central Plains, no one has ever heard of a foreigner with such financial resources.

Qin Yun went directly to the second floor of the restaurant.

He suspected that this group of people came to discuss mineral business.

But Wanyan Honglie did not reply to the letter, which seemed even more strange.

A cup of hot tea is boiling, and the interior of the restaurant is antique.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards guarded all entrances and exits.

"Tell me now. There is no one else here. Where are you from? What is your purpose in seeking to see me?"
