Iron Dynasty

In the Chamber of Commerce, the businessmen flushed with excitement because of Xiao Ming's words. Eight? One Chinese?? Network ≤≈=≤≈

When the map was unfolded in front of them, they stood up one by one, looking greedily at the vast land of Youzhou.

"Everyone, according to the rules set by the king and you, now you can get three times the value of the pasture in Youzhou. Such a high-quality horse farm is the first in Dayu."

Xiao Ming said while pointing at the map.

A group of businessmen nodded their heads. After entering the Chamber of Commerce, they already knew that their reward was the pasture, and they could only engage in grazing on the pasture.

They were not disappointed at this point. On the contrary, they looked forward to it one by one, because even if they did not operate the pasture themselves, they could sell the pasture to others.

This horse raising is a very profitable business, and a large number of merchants will rush to do it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, your Highness is really gold every word."

Cao Zhengyang looked happy, his eyes were already patrolling the Youzhou pasture, and he already had his own horse breeding plan.

"Yes, the words of your Royal Highness Jiuding really make me admire. If this is King Yong, I must have repented at this time."

"No, let alone King Yong, there are a few other vassals who treat us merchants as human beings."

"Only His Royal Highness values ​​us merchants so much. We will do our best for His Royal Highness."

"..."

After Cao Zhengyang, merchants flattered Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming smiled, but he didn't care about the flattery of the merchants. The merchants were chasing benefits and benefiting them now. They naturally showed their loyalty one by one.

If he didn't give them benefits this time, he might be scolding his mother behind his back at this time, but although he understands the nature of the businessman, in order to use this capital monster to carry Qingzhou forward, he still has to make good use of it.

So he said, "Thank you for your compliments. This king is just fulfilling his promise. Now everyone should choose the pasture you need. Of course, if you dislike your small pasture, this king can sell you some more pastures."

Hearing that, the business people are even more excited. Some businessmen who pay less are worrying that the grassland they can get is a little too small. Now this problem is solved in no time.

They didn't hesitate anymore, one by one started to circle on the huge map of Youzhou.

In a short while, one hundred and three squares appeared on the map.

At this time, Xiao Ming glanced at the map. These pastures were mainly located near Cangzhou and Youzhou, and some were still near Shanhaiguan.

These merchants are very smart. The closer they are to the city, the safer their pastures will be.

Looking at the square area on the map, Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to start measuring with a ruler.

This map was drawn according to scale. The merchants had already understood it before. Now Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to write down all the dimensions drawn by the merchants and replace it with the actual size.

Then, according to the actual amount of support provided by the merchants for the Northern Expedition, the more refunded and the less compensated.

Soon, Li Kaiyuan handed the data to Xiao Ming.

"Cao Zhengyang, the taste of your Cao family is really great, you can draw a lot of money for such a large area." Xiao Ming said after seeing Cao Zhengyang's data.

In terms of data, Cao Zhengyang drew a pasture sixty miles long and wide, and his hundred thousand taels of silver was at most enough for a pasture ten miles wide.

"His Royal Highness, what can the ten-mile-long grassland do? Since raising horses, the more is naturally the better. Our Cao family is also thinking about providing a steady stream of horses, cattle and sheep for His Royal Highness in the future." Cao Zhengyang smiled.

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart, this Cao family really had amazing financial resources.

Since Cao Zhengyang settled in Qingzhou, the Cao family has revealed his rich financial resources everywhere in Qingzhou. He can at least be sure that he is not as rich as the Cao family.

And it's not even a little bit worse.

He suddenly thought of Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, when Zhu Yuanzhang was building the Nanjing City Wall, Shen Wansan was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang when he revealed himself everywhere.

If this is a change of person, I am afraid that the Cao family's idea will also be hit at this time. This sheep is really too fat, no wonder the King of Chu has sharpened his sword.

Although Xiao Ming was a bit envious and hated the wealth of the Cao family, his main plan now is to attract capital to help Qingzhou become rich.

The Cao family’s capital beast came at the right time, so instead of scaring away the Cao family, he had to shut it down step by step in Qingzhou to lay eggs for himself.

So he smiled and said: "Okay, this king did not misunderstand your Cao family. In this way, this king will give you a pasture a hundred miles long, but this king will cooperate with you with the rest of the pasture, that is, the future pasture. What do you think about the profit of the company should be divided into 40%?"

Cao Zhengyang was taken aback for a moment and reacted. He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, Cao can't ask for it. With His Royal Highness's support, this grassland is safe for the Cao family."

Xiao Ming nodded and said to Li Kaiyuan: "You can discuss this matter with the Cao family and make a decision on this matter."

Li Kaiyuan understood, smiled and nodded. How could Xiao Ming feel at ease with the big arms of the Cao family? At this time, coming up with a cooperation also means monitoring the Cao family.

After all, war horses are an extremely serious issue. The lack of horses in the south is something that everyone knows. A batch of war horses transported from the grasslands to the fief of the Chu king is enough to triple the price.

Such huge profits are enough to make many smugglers take risks. Therefore, Xiao Ming naturally wants to control the outflow of war horses. After all, this is a strategic resource.

In addition to his own ten kilometers long and wide area, Cao Zhengyang paid one hundred fifty taels of silver to buy the remaining fifty miles of pasture.

Then Xiao Ming looked at other people’s data, but what made Xiao Ming puzzled was that in the end this pasture was basically controlled by three people~www.wuxiaspot.com~ because some merchants got their own tiny pastures directly. Sold to Ding Wu, Cao Zhengyang and Dai Zixing.

The overall result is that Cao Zhengyang won a large grassland in Cangzhou, Ding Wu won a large grassland in Youzhou, and Dai Zixing won the grassland in Shanhaiguan, forming a three-legged situation.

I have to say that this ending made Xiao Ming very depressed, and the game of capital big fish eating small fish was staged in front of him.

But there is no way, the ultimate goal of capital is to move towards monopoly, but he will not give them this opportunity, because the biggest pasture is Xiao Ming himself.

This pasture is controlled by the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In order to prevent capital from becoming bigger in the future, he will not give up the state-owned capital.

After dividing the pasture, he made two million taels of silver from the hands of Cao Zhengyang, Ding Wu, and Dai Zixing to purchase the pasture. Generally speaking, he was very satisfied with the result.
