The entire hall fell silent for a moment, as everyone was weighing the pros and cons and the feasibility of cooperation.
After all, once you agree to join Yang Fan's sea trade, it means that you must obey Yang Fan's management and become a grasshopper on a rope with Yang Fan.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Pei panicked.
No matter how much profit there is, he will never allow everyone to make a decision to cooperate.
This is almost equivalent to ruining the future of the Jiangnan gentry.
We must know that the Zhu family has been inherited in Wu County for thousands of years, how can we allow Yang Fan, an outsider, to intervene in Jiangnan.
Their Zhu family has been one of the four major surnames in Jiangnan since Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period.
Of course, Zhu would not allow this to happen if someone suddenly took over his head.
This is why he deliberately provoked Yang Xun to refuse to cooperate with Yang Fan before coming.
It seemed that things had reached a point where it was impossible not to speak, so Zhu Pei said: "Grand Governor, what you promised everyone is just a vision. Even if everyone wants to participate in maritime trade, then tell me where the goods come from. ? Today’s Jiangnan, even its own supply of goods is somewhat insufficient, so how can it sell so many goods to overseas countries? This is simply empty talk!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone suddenly started whispering and discussing.
Yes!
Everyone only thinks that sea trade can make money, but if you don't even have the goods, it's of no use.
For a moment, everyone looked at Yang Fan.
They wanted to see what Yang Fan had to say.
Yang Fan smiled calmly and said: "Of course I have considered this issue. Therefore, earlier I planned an area in Huating County called Xinxing Industrial Park. The things here are definitely the best products of Datang. .”
"Moreover, I can sell it to you at cost price. Of course, if you want to produce your own products, you can just invest money to join."
"Whether it's papermaking technology or cement manufacturing technology... I can share it. Even the production process of colored glaze is not out of the question..."
Wow!
The scene became noisy again.
If the huge profits from sea trade make everyone a little greedy, then these production techniques are definitely coveted by everyone.
Everyone knows how Yang Fan started his career.
It is through production processes such as papermaking and colored glaze!
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan was willing to show the production process of these products, which is simply unbelievable.
Everyone even had some doubts as to whether Yang Fan's mind was broken.
In everyone's opinion, Yang Fan was able to have so much money to carry out drastic reforms in Jiangnan.
The reason is that there are various processes to produce various products and obtain huge profits.
Otherwise, Huating County's huge expenditure would have dragged him down long ago.
And Yang Fan actually let everyone raise these hens that can lay golden eggs. Who dares to believe this?
Even a wavering person like Yang Xun was so excited that he wanted to agree to Yang Fan's cooperation immediately.
Yang Xun couldn't bear it anymore this time. He pulled Lin Xi and asked in a low voice: "Brother Lin, how about we join forces to win the glaze manufacturing process?"
In the face of Po Tian's interests, how could Yang Xun care about other people? He should benefit first.
Of course, he is also very rational. He knows that he cannot monopolize it with his own strength, and he has to find a partner.
The production process of colored glaze!
If you can produce colored glaze yourself and sell it overseas, your annual profit will be at least one million dollars.
What a concept.
As the richest man in Yangzhou, his Yang family's family fortune is only more than 1 million yuan. It took several generations of accumulation to reach the current situation.
What's more, the overseas market is so big that their business can be spread all over the world.
This is a huge wealth!
Thinking of this, Yang Xun almost went crazy.
As long as they hug Yang Fan's thigh, then the profit will always be theirs!
Yang Xun could think of this, and Lin Xi could of course also think of it.
Lin Xi's face turned red with excitement at the thought of being able to carry forward his family.
After nodding to Yang Xun, he quickly said: "Since the Governor takes such good care of us, if we still look forward and backward, wouldn't we be living up to the Governor's good intentions?"
"Brother Yang and I have decided that we want to cooperate with the Governor in the glass business. Everything will depend on your leadership. If we disobey in the future, we are willing to be struck by thunder from heaven!"
Yang Xun slapped his thigh and echoed: "Brother Lin means what I mean. From now on, no matter the sword or the fire, as long as you say a word, our Yang family will not frown."
Yang Fan sneered at the performance of the two.
These guys who have no bottom line swear that they would be fools if they believed it.
Once there is no benefit, they may be the first to stand up and oppose!
However, of course Yang Fan would not say these words out loud.
As long as these people get on their own boats, they will never be able to escape from the palm of their hands no matter how much they jump.
In the future, without the constraints of the Jiangnan nobles, Yang Fan can show his talents and create an unprecedented foundation in Jiangnan!
As for giving everyone some benefits, Yang Fan doesn't care at all.
The world's market is so big, and Yang Fan can never occupy it all.
No matter what kind of technology it is, it must be shared to quickly promote the development of technology and social progress.
Yang Fan had no intention of keeping it secret from the beginning.
Nowadays, it can not only draw everyone into the water, but also cheat the last sum of money, which is also a good choice.
What's more, as long as your craftsmanship is always ahead of others, what if others know about it?
No one can shake it!
More importantly, many places overseas are now barbarian lands, and Yang Fan needs these people to open up markets for him.
If you want a horse to run, you can't let it eat grass, right?
You have to give some oil and water when raising a dog!
Yang Xun and Lin Xi had already captured it, and Yang Fan looked at Xiao Ran again.
As the nominal leader of the Jiangnan gentry, the position of the Xiao family is naturally crucial.
Although this guy had expressed his stance just now, he was silent now, obviously having discovered his intention.
If the Xiao family doesn't take a stand, it will be really troublesome.
Xiao Ran looked at Yang Fan, feeling slightly bitter in his heart.
Yang Fan is really willing to spend money, he even threw away his family heirloom.
First, he described a beautiful prospect to everyone, and then a sudden windfall. How could everyone refuse?
The most important thing is that he doesn’t dare to refuse!
Didn't you see that the Jiangnan nobles who had previously been obedient to the Xiao family were looking at him with red eyes?
If Xiao Ran dared to say no, these people might immediately rebel.
Xiao Ran had no choice but to say: "Since the Governor is so kind, our Xiao family will naturally not refuse, but our Xiao family inherits poetry and calligraphy, so we will not get involved in the glass business. Our Xiao family will cooperate in papermaking. See Let's see if we can produce cheaper paper and make a contribution to Shilin..."
Yang Fan laughed loudly and complimented: "The Xiao family is a clean stream among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. This governor admires her. My godmother was born in such a family. No wonder she can be a mother to the world."
After saying that, Yang Fan turned to look at Zhu Pei without saying anything.
The other three major forces in Jiangnan have already agreed, and it doesn't matter if Zhu Peitong disagrees with Yang Fan.
Just the small Zhu family in Wu County really couldn't stop Yang Fan.
Seeing Yang Fan's appearance, Zhu Pei knew that it would be impossible if he didn't express his position.
But he is still unwilling!
He could only glare at Yang Xun and Lin Xi fiercely. If the two people hadn't suddenly turned against each other, he wouldn't have been in such a passive situation.
Of course, he never expected that Yang Fan would give up such huge benefits.
The young people in front of you really cannot be underestimated.
Zhu Pei was initially dismissive of Yang Fan, but now he is gradually paying more attention to it.
But he did not want to give in, but questioned: "Grand Governor, you said that the products produced by various processes such as papermaking are the best. You can't just say so with white teeth. You have to let us see. , is it worth our cooperation? Otherwise, we can produce such products ourselves, so why would we need to cooperate with you?"
Yang Fan smiled disapprovingly, waved his hand and said: "I have made arrangements long ago, everyone, follow me!"
With that said, he stood up and walked out.
How could everyone dare to neglect and followed him one after another.
…
The Xinxing Industrial Park was planned on the outskirts of Huating County, adjacent to what would later be called the East China Sea.
With dozens of people from the aristocratic family, plus Xi Junmai with hundreds of guards, the group looked mighty.
Of course, those at the front of the carriage were Li Tai and Yang Fan.
On the luxurious and spacious carriage, Li Tai said with some complaints: "Brother-in-law, why are you so stupid that you actually agreed to teach the glaze craftsmanship? It's all money!"
"At the beginning, I wanted to talk to you, but you didn't let me participate. But now, alas... Even if you have an opinion against me, you can't do this!"
Li Tai had a resentful look on his face at this time, as if he had cut his own flesh, but there was inevitably a hint of desolation in his words.
Thinking back to when Li Tai wanted to get involved in the Liuli business, but was ruthlessly rejected by Yang Fan, he was really a little resentful.
More importantly, in Li Tai's eyes, the Liuli business is a golden mountain.
But Yang Fan gave away this golden mountain, how could he not feel distressed?
If he can possess such skills, his chances of competing for the crown prince will be greatly increased.
After all, if you want to bribe someone, in addition to promising the future, you also need to spend money.
In the eyes of outsiders, Li Tai has a high position and great glory.
Only Li Tai knew that he was actually a poor man who didn't dare to buy anything good.
Therefore, when he saw that Yang Fan wanted to sell various crafts, even if these things were not his own, Li Tai still complained a little about Yang Fan.
Yang Fan smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness has a noble status, why do you care about these worldly things?"
Li Tai snorted and said displeasedly: "You stand and talk without back pain, and you have a noble status... Haha, don't you need to spend money if you have a noble status? Look at the prince, he doesn't have a lot of property, if the prince hadn't been better than me The king is rich, how can he win over so many people?”
"Hmph, if I knew that you were willing to sell the method of making colored glaze, I would buy it even if you sell it. In this way, my chances of competing for the crown prince would increase by several percent... And you said you are my brother-in-law! "
Hearing the sourness in these words, it was obvious that Yang Fan gave up these benefits to Li Tai, making Li Tai jealous!
Well, everyone is playing the family card. What can Yang Fan say? Why do you have to keep thinking about it?"
"In the future, everyone will improve various manufacturing techniques based on their abilities, which will not only promote the improvement of products, but also promote the progress of society. Why not? Why bother with the slightest benefit?"
"Besides, is the position of crown prince so attractive? Even if there are not these things, it does not mean that His Highness the King of Wei does not have the opportunity to compete for crown prince. Why should you complain like a resentful woman?"
Hearing this, Li Tai couldn't help but feel excited.
In the past, every time Yang Fan talked about the position of crown prince, Yang Fan would talk to him about it, or give him a warning.
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan's attitude changed drastically today.
Could it be that Yang Fan has decided to put aside the past grudges and support himself?
Thinking of this, Li Tai, who was like a mountain of flesh, couldn't help but tremble slightly and stared at Yang Fan with bright eyes.
After a long while, Li Taicai said with a slightly trembling voice: "Brother-in-law means that I have a chance to ascend to the position of crown prince..."
Yang Fan said helplessly: "I really don't know what you princes and grandsons think. Why do you always want to be the emperor? Isn't it good to be free and free as a free king?"
"Although the throne is good and can control the life and death of others, in the process of moving towards the throne, not only are there murderous intentions everywhere, but even brothers kill each other, why bother?"
Hearing this, Li Tai's face turned red and he muttered with embarrassment: "Actually, I am not that eager for the throne. I just feel that the prince is weak and his talents are mediocre. If he ascends to the throne, it may not be a good thing!"
Although these words are meant to be defensive, Li Tai really thinks so.
In his opinion, the situation between North Korea and China seems to be calm, but in fact, the situation in the mainland is turbulent.
After all, the factions formed by major aristocratic families are constantly fighting in the court.
Without absolute control and willpower, it is easy to be swayed by these aristocratic families.
Your Majesty Li Er is so awesome!
In the court, you still have to compromise with those aristocratic families!
If the weak Li Chengqian ascends to the throne, I really don’t know what the final situation will be like?
Regarding Li Tai's remarks, Yang Fan did not want to explore whether they were true or false.
It’s better not to get involved in this kind of thing.
No matter who becomes the emperor, as long as he doesn't mess with himself.
At worst, he would stay in the fiefdom in the south of the Yangtze River and never enter the court.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and the whole space suddenly fell silent.
The sound of hooves clattering along the cement road, and everyone quickly arrived at the Xinxing Industrial Park.
Just hearing a "hush" sound, the carriage stopped.
"Your Highness, the Grand Governor is here!"
Xi Junmai, who was driving, opened the curtain and said softly.
Hearing this, Yang Fan jumped out of the carriage in one stride.
Later, with the support of several servants, Li Tai staggered down from the carriage.
When the people behind him arrived one after another, Yang Fan led a group of people along the wide road into the industrial park.
Although it is an industrial park, Yang Fan did not take away the scenery here.
Walking along the road, there are towering trees on both sides. The tall and straight trunks rise from the ground, blocking out the sky and the sun, and the branches of the trees overlap to form a cave.
If it is summer, it should be very cool to walk on these roads.
On both sides of the road, there are houses.
Different from the houses we usually see, these houses have huge structures and are obviously the workshops that Yang Fan mentioned.
Rows of workshops stretch into the distance, with no end in sight.
This prosperous scene shocked everyone.
The industrial park is usually guarded by people sent by Yang Fan, and people outside have no idea what is going on inside.
This time, the industrial park was shown to everyone, which was naturally an eye-opener for everyone.
Li Tai looked at Yang Fan beside him and said somewhat depressedly: "Brother-in-law, how much does such a big project cost? What's more, have you used up all the workshops?"
Yang Fan laughed: "Why, does His Highness the King of Wei also want to bring in his own property? You are welcome!"
Li Tai smiled but didn't answer, there were so many people around him!
If he said he wanted to participate, wouldn't he also lower his status?
However, it could be seen from his squinting eyes that he was moved by Yang Fan's proposal.
