Chapter 725 Li Si arrives
On the third floor, Jiang Lu and Fu Su looked at the huge crowds of people on the first and second floors. They were all very busy and very excited.
"Third brother, it seems that you have been very successful in establishing the Chamber of Commerce this time." Fusu said with a smile, with envy in his tone.
Jiang Lu responded with a smile: "Can it be successful? My father paved the way for me behind the scenes, and almost everything was arranged by my father.
In fact, I have no idea about establishing a chamber of commerce. I want to establish a business.
After I establish a business, I can build a business empire for myself. My business covers all industries in the world and becomes the industry leader. "
"Third brother, you are quite ambitious. This is more difficult than establishing a chamber of commerce." Fusu said.
Jiang Lu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that it's difficult, it's simply impossible. How should I put it? It's not difficult for me to set up a business. What's difficult is that I have to cover all the industries in the world. Kanshu La
In fact, it is possible to include everything, but becoming the industry leader is difficult.
Brother, you also know that since Mr. established professional law, all technologies have been constantly updated.
An industry, such as the steam harvester, is currently the most advanced harvester in the world, but ten years later, a different harvester will appear, which is definitely better than the current one.
It is the same in all walks of life. In the future, technology will continue to improve, and technology will also advance. However, my company can only become the industry leader for a while. "
"Is there no way?" Fusu asked.
"Yes." Jiang Lu said, "That means spending money on research. Whether it is a steam harvesting vehicle or the simplest method of making salt, we must continue to research and develop new technologies.
But this research does not happen in a short time. It may take ten or twenty years. It is also possible that you have just completed the research and others have also done it, but their technology is better than yours.
As a result, your money will be wasted.
If I control the technology of all industries, I will be against all the businessmen in the world, unless I have truly inexhaustible money. Otherwise, I will definitely become a failed businessman. "
Fusu nodded slightly and said, "Since you can't go against the merchants all over the world, then you can just change your policy and become partners with the merchants all over the world."
Jiang Lu said: "I have thought about this problem, but it made me realize a truth. There are no permanent enemies or permanent friends in business, only permanent interests.
However, when foreign enemies invade China, our group of businessmen will also unite to fight against the foreign enemies. "
"I believe in you, and I also believe that the merchants of Da Qin will never turn a blind eye while foreign merchants deal with Da Qin." Fusu said.
In the following five days, basically all the merchants in Baiyue Land heard about the Baiyue Chamber of Commerce, and one-third of the merchants had joined the Chamber of Commerce, while two-thirds of the merchants were waiting to see.
In the past five days, the Chamber of Commerce has approved the construction rights of three roads and the right to collect tolls for thirty years from the government.
When everyone learned about the thirty-year charging right, all the businessmen went crazy. How much money could they earn from the thirty-year charging right?
Thirty years for one penny per person is an astronomical figure. Even if a large investment is made in the early stage of road construction, it will be earned back in at least twenty years. In ten years, the earnings will be even greater than in the previous twenty years. many.
Everyone knows very well that according to the current development of Daqin, there will be absolutely no problem for the population to increase tenfold in thirty years, and commerce will be further developed, and there will be more goods coming and going.
Depending on the quantity of goods, we decide how much to charge, which is simply a win-win situation.
So many businessmen went to the Chamber of Commerce to inquire about road construction.
At this time, another person was welcomed at Guangzhou Pier, he was Li Si.
Originally, Li Si should have been able to arrive in Guangzhou three days early, but the weather was unfavorable, causing their ship to be slowed down for several days.
No one knew about Li Si's arrival, but as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, someone immediately knew about it.
The reason is very simple
Shan, Li Si was too high-profile. After he got off the ship, he was followed by a hundred musketeers, as well as a group of merchants and nobles.
Li Si asked the merchants and nobles to go to Guangzhou City to understand the situation first, and then select a location to establish a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time spread his idea of a chamber of commerce for the people.
Li Si himself led a hundred guards to the Prince's Mansion to see Fusu.
When Li Si got off the boat, someone had already reported the matter to Fusu, so Fusu and the general were waiting for Li Si at the Prince's Mansion.
After Li Si arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he asked a hundred musketeers to stand at the door. This made the guards of the Prince's Mansion swallow their saliva, because one hundred people were carrying a musket on their backs.
Muskets are no longer uncommon in Guangzhou City. Although there are only a few people with muskets in Guangzhou City, many people know about it.
Especially after the tribal leaders in Baiyue Land saw Xiang Yu's grenades and pistols, they even publicized the power of muskets. In the end, everyone knew that muskets were weapons of mass destruction.
Li Si saw Fusu and Jiang Lu, which made him frown slightly, but he still saluted the two of them and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and I have met Mr. Jiang Lu."
"Master Li, you don't need to be polite." Fusu said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." Li Si said, then found a seat and sat down.
"Master Li," Fusu said, "I have read the official documents from the court. You can do it with confidence. If anyone objects or resists, I will help you settle it.
Even if I destroy some tribes, I won’t hesitate. "
When did the prince have such courage? Hasn't he always claimed to implement Confucian benevolent government?
This is about to destroy some tribes at every turn, so this murderous intention is a little too strong, but this is a good thing, it is much better than before. Li Si thought to himself.
Seeing that Li Si didn't reply, Jiang Lu immediately said, "Mr. Li, are you tired from the journey? Do you want to rest for a day before we get down to business?"
Li Si came back to his senses and immediately shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. General. I'm fine with you. Your Majesty has given me the task, and I can't wait to finish it."
"That's fine." Fusu said, "I also hope that the matter of dividing the land into acres can be completed as soon as possible, so that not only the people can enjoy happiness, but the court can also benefit greatly.
What's more important is that this can increase Great Qin's national destiny. "
"Brother is right, so the two of us must assist Mr. Li in completing this policy of dividing every household into an equal share." Jiang Lu said.
Fusu nodded and said, "Li Si, you should already have a detailed plan. Come out with it. When the time comes, if you need us to cooperate with you, just ask, and my third brother and I will do our best to help you."
"Thank you to the prince and Mr. Jianglu." Li Si said and took out a thick memorial from his arms. "This is the plan I wrote. Please take a look at it."
