Iron Dynasty

　　 The second day after Li San came back, the silver taels given by the court arrived in Qingzhou. With the deposit from the harem concubine, Xiao Ming had 500,000 taels of silver in his hand to move.

　　 These silver can be said to be a huge sum of money in Qingzhou, but for Xiao Ming's development plan, it is just a drop in the bucket.

　　 And 200,000 taels are the deposits for the concubines who need perfume. He also needs to purchase perfumes to make perfumes to send to the concubines. It can be said that 200,000 taels have to be discounted.

　　 As for perfume, Xiao Ming is not going to give it to others. Part of the business he has on hand is to paralyze the differentiation of the wealthy people in Qingzhou, but he needs to keep some of the business himself so that he can earn more.

　　 Especially in the affluent South, where commerce is developed and trade is prosperous, the fastest way to get money is commerce relative to his own technological advantages, so he has been planning his own business.

　　 The ultimate goal of Zhang Liang's shipbuilding is trade, because countless facts have proved that only commerce can rejuvenate the country.

　　" Li Kaiyuan, Lieutenant Lieutenant of the Guogan, had seen His Royal Highness. "In the main hall of the Qi Palace, Li Kaiyuan stood under his head and bowed to Xiao Ming.

　　With the silver in his hand, Xiao Ming's idea of ​​preparing for the establishment of a trading firm became even stronger, but the person in charge of the trading firm hesitated all the time. It was only these two days that he decided to use Li Kaiyuan.

　　 The people that Xiao Ming reuses now are Qian Dafu, Chen Wenlong and his son. One is his own cronies, the other has no roots in Qingzhou, and has nothing to do with the Qingzhou tycoons.

　　 This Li Kaiyuan had been investigated by Qian Dafu, and he had no special background. Moreover, Li Kaiyuan's personality was extroverted and very slippery. He was obviously suitable to be a businessman, not a general.

　　 He said: "Get up, this time this king is looking for you to give you a heavy responsibility."

　　 "His Royal Highness, please say that the subordinates must bow down and die." Li Kaiyuan said with a smile.

　　 Xiao Ming understands Li Kaiyuan’s character very well, but he doesn’t take it seriously, saying: "This king is going to build a business, and I want you to be the shopkeeper."

　　 "Your Highness... Your Majesty." Li Kaiyuan's face was brushed white, he shivered and said: "Your Highness, the last time the barbarian matter happened, the next official has already introspected..."

Xiao Ming waved his hand, "This king is not guilty, and the king didn't blame you for the last time. Your position in the army will remain. You just need to bear the business affairs alone. If I didn't guess wrong, you His father, Li Shengji, was also a merchant in Qingzhou."

　　 Li Kaiyuan was crying. Dayu is still a traditional country that emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business. Although the stable environment over the past century has improved the status of merchants a little, the overall merchants are still looked down upon.

　　 The reason why he was able to become a captain in the army was not because of his merits, but because his father bought it from Xiao Ming with a lot of money.

　　 Because of this, Lu Fei has always looked down upon him.

　　 Now that Xiao Ming asks him not to be a general and a merchant, he can think of his feelings at this time, but Xiao Ming said that he would keep his position and he was a little more relaxed.

　　 "Back to Your Highness, it is true. Before going west, my father has been walking around various states to sell cloth." Li Kaiyuan said.

Seeing that Li Kaiyuan still had some unhappy emotions on his face, Xiao Ming said: "This king knows that you are not happy, but you have to understand that this firm is an official business. Although it is also a merchant's business, it is actually an official for the government. If you insist on staying in the army, it’s okay. This king is looking for someone else. It’s just that Captain Lu Fei came to report a few days ago. The heavy snow seems to have frozen many cattle and sheep on the grassland. The barbarians will go south to plunder in large numbers..."

　　 "His Royal Highness, the lower officials are willing." Li Kaiyuan struck a spirit. He was the only seedling in the family. After being despised and killed in the war between the barbarians, he still chose the former.

　　 Xiao Ming smirked and clicked on him, "That's right, make the best use of everything, and make the best use of your talents. You are not suitable for the army. Come on, this king will tell you how to build a business."

　　 Li Kaiyuan looked helpless and had to step forward and listen carefully.

　　 The business that Xiao Ming planned to build this time bears the name of the Prince of Qi's mansion. This is also for the business to pass through all over the country and avoid blackmail from local authorities.

The name of the trading firm is Wantong Trading. Xiao Ming will spend fifty thousand taels of silver to buy five small merchant ships and ten horse teams on land. This scale is currently only a small trading firm, but everything is difficult at first. Just grow.

　　 In addition to the specific management methods of the firm, Xiao Ming also instilled many advanced business ideas into Li Kaiyuan, which Li Kaiyuan quickly understood under the effect of the technology spar.

　　 His family is a businessman, and he knows a little about doing business. This can be said to have helped.

　　 "The first batch of products is perfume. You only need to take the water and ship directly to the southern states." Xiao Ming said at last.

　　 Li Kaiyuan was shocked by the new knowledge in his heart at this time. This knowledge made him a little ambitious. He said: "Your Highness, I still have a few more trusted brothers in the military. I will take them with me."

　　 "No problem, you can take anyone with you, except Lu Fei." Xiao Ming joked.

　　 Li Kaiyuan nodded, retired, turned and left the Qi Palace, and set about preparing for the business.

　　 As soon as Li Kaiyuan left here, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Liang Dahai went to the main hall under the guidance of Qian Dafu.

　　Xiao Ming asked: "Liang Dahai, what happened to the slave that this king asked you to buy?"

"His Royal Highness, the Cao Min spent the Great Zhou Zhang to find all the brothers he could find. This time, he brought a total of 950 slaves to His Highness. When the snow on the roads of various states has melted, the Cao Min will go north to buy slaves for His Highness. "Liang Dahai said.

　　 The nine hundred and fifty slaves are still too few to speak of. They are basically a drop in the bucket, but they always have to stutter. It seems that he has to focus on shipbuilding. Overseas trade is the focus of commodity exchange.

　　 "Yes, continue to buy slaves, this king will not treat you badly." Xiao Ming motioned to Qian Dafu.

　　 At this time, Qian Dafu gave Liang Dafu the twenty thousand tael bank note.

　　 "His Royal Highness, this is a lot." Liang Dahai said in surprise. He had never done such a smooth business.

　　 "Leave it to the next slave trade if there are too many." Xiao Ming said, "Where are these slaves?"

　　 "It's all on the dock in the north of Qingzhou city." Liang Dahai took the money joyfully. He used to wait for a long time in the East Market before there was a buyer. Now such a large transaction allows him to truly appreciate the benefits of cooperating with Xiao Ming.

　　Xiao Ming said to Qian Dafu: "Steward Qian, you call Lieutenant Shang Lu. You will temporarily place the slaves outside the city in a military camp in the east of the city, and the King of Japan will go to see them."

　　 Qian Dafu nodded, and left with Liang Dahai in response.

　　 Now that he has enough money, Xiao Ming eagerly wants to use the money to take the fast lane. What he just scared Li Kaiyuan was not talking nonsense. A large number of barbarian scouts did appear outside Cangzhou City.
