Wu Jue turned around from her daze. She subconsciously looked at Li Yan next to her. When she looked over, she found that Li Yan was looking at the people on the stage with an indescribable expression of admiration and admiration. His Highness the King of Qin.
So what she said was true? She really has no ambition to be the Princess of Qin, she just wants to be with His Highness, right?
Wu Jue was silent for a moment, and then she turned her attention to Li Ke who was standing there again. She didn't know what she was thinking.
After the crowd around him calmed down, Li Ke continued to speak loudly: "Finally, I am here to announce that tomorrow morning at midnight, I will hold the first business summit of the Tang Dynasty at Youjian Mall in Shanhefang, Chang'an City. All businessmen with No matter how big or small the business is, everyone can come. However, because the space is limited, all the responsible persons can come alone. I will welcome you all at Youjian Mall."
"Finally, let us express our gratitude with warm applause to these businessmen who have renovated Chang'an City and built official roads." Li Ke said loudly.
After finishing speaking, Li Ke took the lead in applauding, and the people below naturally applauded equally enthusiastically.
Earth-shaking applause rang out again. Bai Ling and the other ninety-three people all looked excited. Many of their faces were so red that they even trembled when they spoke! They have never been so glorious!
"Okay, today's road unveiling ceremony is over. Let's all disperse. Please don't crowd and disperse in an orderly manner!"
With Li Ke's words, this event was over.
Soon Li Ke was the first to leave the scene, and then others gradually left. In fact, ordinary people knew this well. Those wearing silk clothes would not take the initiative to squeeze in. They were all waiting for these people. After leaving, these people will leave on their own.
But what His Highness said today made these people very excited.
The wealthy families in the crowd were silent. His Highness's move was too cruel.
This directly elevated these businessmen to such a high level. At this point, with the publication of "Datang Weekly" all over the world, it means that by then, all the merchant families in the world will definitely support His Highness the King of Qin, because for them , doing business with a wealthy family is two different things.
And the royal certification that His Highness mentioned will be a big killer in the future!
The most important thing is about the National Cemetery of Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty. His Highness didn't say anything here, but will they donate? Or...does His Highness still use their donations now? No! If they don't donate, those businessmen will donate enough funds to His Highness to build the National Cemetery of Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty.
Then what is the use of these powerful families?
Especially as this relates to future measures against some small countries, no one can ignore it! Because they all know that with the establishment of the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery, the combat effectiveness of the entire Tang Dynasty soldiers will increase by at least 50%!
His Highness's strategy will inevitably come true. If you don't strive for favorability at this time, when will you strive for it?
Therefore, the question now is not whether to donate, but how much to donate.
After Li Ke returned to the city, he returned directly to Youjian Mall. After Li Ke came back, Tian Meng, Pei Xingjian, Huo Gang and others came to see Li Ke.
"Your Highness, the relevant information has been sorted out and the equipment has been debugged. Your Highness can display it according to the original plan tomorrow." Tian Meng first reported to Li Ke about tomorrow's events, "The entire content of His Highness's speech outside the city today is It has been recorded and will be published on the second page of the next issue of Datang Weekly. The first page is an article about the establishment of the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery."
"Very good. Are you ready for the questions from all over?"
"Yes, we have finished selecting. The first batch of twenty-four literati editors will go to the thirteen cities in groups of two, namely the capital Chang'an City, the eastern capital Luoyang City, the northern capital Taiyuan City, and the southern capital. Yizhou Prefecture (later Chengdu), Zhongdu Hezhong Prefecture (later Puzhou Town, Yongji County, Shanxi Province), Huainan Dao Zhi Yangzhou City, Guannai Dao Zhi Fengxiang City (later Fengxiang County, Shaanxi), Hebei Dao Zhi Weizhou ( Later Daming County in Hebei Province), Wuwei in Longyou Province, Xiangyang in Shannan Province, Guangzhou in Lingnan Province, Yuezhou in Jiangnan Province (later Shaoxing in Zhejiang), and Chihai City in Xizhou."
"The first twelve cities have already started publishing "Datang Weekly", and Chihai City will start publishing "Datang Weekly" this year. In addition, these thirteen cities are also the first cities to establish the Datang National Martyrs Cemetery, and we Taking advantage of the opportunity of building martyrs' cemeteries, we will simultaneously purchase iron ore and build iron smelting plants near these cities," Tian Meng said.
It is not difficult to find iron mines around these cities, but there are no large iron mines in many places. But in fact, for the current Datang, small iron mines in many places are enough. And supporting facilities such as cement plants and limestone mines will be looked for and constructed together.
The reason why iron mines are built in these cities is to popularize curved shaft plows, new columbians, and even iron kitchen knives, iron pots, etc., as quickly as possible. These are important measures for Li Ke to circulate funds. .
"Datang Weekly and the National Martyrs Cemetery can be left unchanged for now, but the iron smelting plant, limestone mine, cement factory, etc. will be added to one more city." Li Ke thought for a while and said.
"Your Highness, please speak." Tian Meng bent down and said directly.
"Fanyang County, the administrative seat of Youzhou (later Beijing, the administrative seat of Youzhou changed several times throughout the Tang Dynasty, and was later moved to Zhuozhou City) is the current location of the Dongyi Protectorate." Li Ke thought for a while.
"I understand." Tian Meng immediately expressed his understanding.
Everyone knows where Youzhou is going to target, and places like the Dongyi Protectorate have the right to control and mobilize soldiers from the Khitan, Xi and other ethnic minority tribes. Xibu is close to Youzhou of the Tang Dynasty. To the northeast of Xibu is the Khitan tribe, and to the east of the Khitan tribe is Goguryeo.
"How is the implementation of the plan to encircle the cities from the countryside?" Li Ke asked again.
"According to the people currently contacted by the commercial bank, we are mainly targeting places with convenient access to official roads in the Tang Dynasty. We can currently contact about 80% of small aristocratic families and families. After the deployment last year, our new spinning machines and weaving machines The cloth machines are all in place, but because of our expansion of manpower, the firm's profit last year did not include your new business, and it suffered a loss for the first time." Tian Meng was a little sad.
They were established by His Highness to make money for His Highness, but in the end, they need His Highness to make money to subsidize them.
What a shameful act!
"Don't worry about this. The loss is not much, and the loss is all in his own hands. It's not much." Li Ke smiled and waved his hand. He didn't care about this loss at all. In fact, Li Ke didn't care about more losses. , because the main loss is just monthly money.
