I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 164
a question.
Grandpa Zhu was unsure in his heart, how to show his favor to Duan Wang. What if Duan Wang held vengeance and really ignored their Zhu family?
Ming Yu didn’t even give one to Mrs. Zhu with his eyes, but just sat back in his seat and casually threw a preserved fruit into his mouth, let’s eat it.
Prime Minister Wen has recovered from his daze, his eyes looking at Ming Yu are extremely complicated.
What happened just now is really unexpected, from the embarrassment of Zhu family to Ming Yu’s easy solution, and now everyone is vying for places. Why does this situation seem so unreliable?
Thinking back carefully, I have to explain that Yu’s solution is really the best strategy, to disintegrate the opponent’s camp without any effort, but the price is too high, right?
He knew what Ming Yu took out. The price quoted by the Prince’s Palace before was something that an official’s salary for a year could not afford. Here, Ming Yu waved his hand and sent them out without frowning, and there were still ten, ten! I feel so distressed for Ming Yu.
“My lord! Are these things really given away?” Wen Qing asked with a light cough while clenching his fists.
Ming Yu swallowed the preserved fruit, “Ah, it’s really delivered! Why don’t you take it out from me?”
Wen Qing’s heart ached, “I heard that Your Majesty also got a set of crystal glasses.”
“Well, that’s what I gave to my father…” He seemed to have thought of something here, patted his head and smiled and said, “Oh! By the way, I have another set there. If Wen Xiang likes it, this king will have a tomorrow. Send them to the house.”
Wen Qing supported his forehead. He didn’t want to ask Ming Yu about this crystal glass, but he just felt sorry to give these glasses to those who smelled like copper. It’s a pity.
“No, my lord, it’s just a pity for the old minister. Why does the lord give such a generous and precious thing to these merchants at will?” Wen Qing looked at the group of rude and rude people not far away who were scrambling for each other. .
It’s no wonder that their literati and literati despise businessmen. Just looking at their style makes people look down on them.
Ming Yu knew that Dayan’s world was like this, that the distinction between scholars, peasants, businessmen, and classes was very serious. In his eyes, it is impossible without anyone in this world, and he has to rely on this group of people to develop Liangzhou’s economy.
“For fishing, of course you have to use bait. That’s a lot of things, and it’s not worth anything at all.” Ming Yu said with a nonchalant smile.
These glass products are not exquisite, Ming Yu really did not see it. Since the craftsmen who visited the craftsman made glass products, he has built a glass product workshop outside Liangzhou City. The people from the nearby villages are hired, and the production process is not too complicated.
The assembly line set up by Ming Yu has greatly improved glass production, and he also wants to popularize glass products. After the Xiqi Corridor is opened, it can be circulated everywhere and earn more money instead of a broom. Besides, the cost of this thing is cheap, in his opinion, it doesn’t cost anything at all.
Since Ming Yu doesn’t care anymore, what else can he say? Wen Qing could only shake his head, “It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s yours, the lord, of course the lord has the final say on what to do with it.”
Over there, Mrs. Zhu thought about it, and his eyes were reddened by those people. I have sacrificed a lot for everyone’s interests, but these people don’t appreciate it at all, they are all for their own interests. It’s okay, it’s okay, no matter what, let go of this old face and beg Duan Wang again, it’s better than the Zhu family who can’t get anything.
He stepped forward, and before Ming Yu, he gave a deep salute, “Your Highness, what the villain just said is inappropriate, and I hope Your Highness will ignore the past suspicions. Our Zhu family is also willing to vote first-class.”
Ming Yu looked at him with a half-smile but stared at him furiously, with a thin layer of sweat on his back, and then said: “Zhu family master, you have just abstained. You don’t have to force yourself, use the money to do it. Other transactions, I think, will make more money than here.”
This sarcastic remark made Mrs. Zhu’s face flush, and he was slapped in the face for what he just said. He has been in charge of the house for decades, and his face has been completely lost.
Mrs. Zhu looked embarrassed, forced a smile, and said: “Just now, the villain wanted to be wrong, and he was confused for a while. Lord Wang will ignore the villain, so let’s bypass this situation. Don’t worry, Wangye, in the future, Wangye has instructed, Little people have nothing to say.”
He swore and promised that he just wanted to ask Ming Yu’s forgiveness. Their Zhu family really couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.
“Is this true?” Ming Yu asked sideways.
Seeing that Ming Yu was showing signs of letting go, Mrs. Zhu was overjoyed and nodded again and again without hesitation, “Really, absolutely.”
Ming Yu shook his head, “Tsk tsk! It’s just a pity, you just didn’t want to, it’s a bit difficult to do.”
Grandpa Zhu’s heart throbbed, and he almost didn’t kneel down. What does Duan Wang mean? Do you really want to let him go? In this way, how can he explain to the clan when he goes back? Is he the only one who came back without success this time?
Ming Yu saw his performance in his eyes and laughed secretly in his heart. snort! This old fox, still wants to fight with me, thinks that this king is as easy to fool as everyone else? I won’t let you have a big somersault, and the master’s name is written upside down.
“Hmm! Actually, this king is not an unfriendly person either. This first batch of preferential offers is the most powerful and benefits the most. I believe that the Zhu family should also understand. Since the quota has been set, there is no room for change. No The rules are not square, and this king is also a trustworthy person. Others have no chance to enter the first echelon. Otherwise, are you waiting for the next batch?” Ming Yu took a sip of tea and said slowly.
Ming Yu’s words made Mrs. Zhu seem to see hope, but it made people even more desperate. Waiting for the next batch? The day lilies are cold.
He rubbed his hands together and said eagerly, “However, the construction of the Xiqi Corridor requires a lot of money, why did the lord keep the money away? Your lord, tell me, how can you give a chance to let the villain invest money in? Bar?”
Ming Yu lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, “Do you really want to invest money? No more talk?”
“Vote! Vote! The villain has nothing to say.” Grandpa Zhu said hopefully.
Ming Yu nodded, “Okay, if you missed the first batch, then it can only be considered a first-class condition. If you want to invest money, you can, just follow the investment line according to the class, it’s just profit, just If there are not so many, the incentives will naturally disappear. That is to say, even if you invest in the first-class investment line, the profit distribution after three years will be reduced by 20%, and the tariffs of the Xiqi Corridor will not be reduced at all for ten years.”
“What!” Grandpa Zhu gasped. He didn’t expect that Ming Yu would say such a thing. He was stealing chickens without losing money, and 20% of the profit was lost by his few words. There are also ten years of tariff relief, which is real money, and he hardly bears his breath.
“You can think about it. It’s up to you whether you want it or not. This king is short of money, but he’s definitely not short of your money.” Ming Yu said this casually, but he really didn’t take the Zhu family seriously.
Grandpa Zhu knew that what Ming Yu said was true. At this time, he still had the smugness at the beginning, and he was so decadent that he seemed to be several years old.
Where else can he do it? If he invests the money, he will still have a lot of profit three years later. Although it is not as good as the Ma family, it is still better than missing an opportunity and earning nothing.
In fact, Ming Yu is right. Even if the benefits are not as high as the first batch of merchants, as long as Ming Yu’s conditions are laid out, many merchants will still invest money. Money and silk move people’s hearts, and no one will be indifferent to a trade that is clearly profitable.
In contrast, after three years, their Zhu family will be far behind the Ma family. Originally, the two families were evenly matched, and the business transactions were equally divided. As a result, their Zhu family suffered a big loss.
Grandpa Zhu gritted his teeth, and finally said weakly, “Okay, my Zhu family is willing to vote.”
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Ming Yu smiled and said, “Very good, just go there to sign the contract. I never thought that another second-tier contract prepared today could still be used.”
These words undoubtedly stabbed Mr. Zhu again in the heart. After Mr. Zhu signed the contract and went back, he became seriously ill, and it took half a year to go around. Of course, that’s another story.
Ming Yu was in a good mood at this time, and seeing each and everyone vying for money, how could it not make people happy?
Wen Qing didn’t expect such a result. It seems that he was worried for nothing before. Ming Yu’s method, although seemingly simple, captures people’s psychology. If it is someone else, I am afraid that no one will be able to achieve this effect, right?
He really underestimated Ming Yu, and solved the problem of money so easily. The minister in the DPRK is afraid that he will be slapped in the face. Thinking of this, Wen Qing can’t help but be happy.
He is still very happy to see the expressions of those ministers in the DPRK who are dumb when they eat Huanglian. Originally, he thought that Ming Yu would accomplish nothing. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, I’m afraid he wouldn’t believe it. Ten years of control over the Xiqi Corridor, tsk tsk! Mingyu is really good.
Ma Siyong brought Ma Jinyu over, fearful, “Your Highness, is this crystal glass really given to us?”
You must know that since the appearance of the Western Regions, these people have never even seen them, and now they are suddenly placed in front of them, and they have become their own, just like a dream, unbelievable.
“How can this king be false? Why, if your Ma family doesn’t want it, this king can also take it back.” Ming Yu joked.
How is this possible? Ma Jinyu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: “Don’t, my lord, since it has been sent out, there is no reason to take it back, right?
