Xiao Zhang always thought he was facing a problem of ability, but in the end he discovered that the most serious problem he faced was survival.
After learning from the painful experience, Xiao Zhang learned everything Liang Chuan did in Qingyuan and took the initiative to solve the problem of survival.
You have to let your subordinates have enough to eat before they have the strength to work!
At no time should we put aside the issue of remuneration and talk about feelings. Although feelings are important, the price must be sufficient to show sincerity!
Xiao Zhang used the resources at hand to occupy several mines first. There are more mines in the north than in the south. They mine coal, iron, gold and silver. Anyway, what they do in Huying is a shameful business, and they are not short of more. After letting them take over these mines, the money came in much faster, and they no longer had to worry about even a lot of equipment.
For people like them, in the beginning, whenever they do anything, they need real money and silver to pave the way, and a lot of investment is a bottomless pit, it is invisible, intangible, and there is no reward! For example, in lurking, it often takes ten or twenty years once the chess pieces are released, but there is very little effective information.
In the eyes of some officials in the imperial court, raising these people is almost like living on hard labor, and it is a pure waste of the imperial court's national funds! It is even more disrespectful to their official positions! How can anyone be so content with their free time? Why does the imperial court support so many useless people?
They don't understand the value of intelligence. They raise troops for a lifetime and use them for a while. A small piece of inconspicuous information can change the course of history! However, these officials were too short-sighted. They did not have such a vision, nor could they afford it, nor were they willing to waste food on Xiao Zhang's men.
More often than not, they feel that Xiao Zhang and his gang are just falsely reporting accounts, defrauding funds from the treasury, and enriching their own pockets!
In the beginning, it was relatively easy for the intelligence organizations to get money, but day after day, year after year, the court finally lost patience with them, and even if they asked for money, they would get nothing!
The imperial court does not need money, and corruption is even more serious in Khitan. The uneducated Khitan people have been indulging in leisure for more than a hundred years. Their ancestors endured real hardships. Now they have long forgotten the sufferings of the past and only They can feel comfortable looking at the colorful world in front of them, why should they feel so uncomfortable?
In their eyes, the country's money is the money of these corrupt officials. If they don't use it themselves, will it be wasted by these people who have to work hard?
Xiao Zhang no longer asks the court for money, he earns it himself!
There are mines, and there are even a few gold and silver mines. Although the output is extremely low, it can already afford the expenses of his group of people!
Xiao Zhang, who had kept his eyebrows down for so many years, finally got tough! You don't need to call someone "master" when you meet someone, kneel down when you see an official, stiffen your back and attack people coldly!
Xiao Zhang, who had tasted the benefits, began to expand his industry. His most popular business was smuggling.
He smuggled weapons, smuggled furs, medicinal materials, whatever he could get money quickly!
Xixia was short of weapons, so he asked people to sell them. Anyway, he still had mines. If the weapons were gone, he would fight again. The furs in the south were easy to sell, so he sold the furs and medicinal materials to the south. There were more and more channels, and their The strength of Huying is finally getting bigger and bigger!
Today's Jihuying is a legal gang with a license from the imperial court. They make money and help the imperial court. The people are still the same group of people, but their combat effectiveness is no longer the same group of people.
Sabotage, spying, assassination! The Anhu camp finally showed their sharp teeth!
In today's Liao Kingdom, ordinary people are completely unaware of the existence of the Yinghu Camp, but the higher the level of people, the more they know how powerful this so-called Yinghu Ying is!
Now that they are rich and have well-equipped soldiers and food, as long as they use lynching to directly execute people in the dark on the blacklist of the imperial court, no one dares to say no! Because they have orders from the court, what they do is shady! We are dealing with things that endanger the country!
Except for the Emperor of Liao, they do not take orders from anyone, and have the power to directly respond to the Emperor. Who dares to offend such an organization!
What Xiao Zhang gave Liang Chuan was their token for the Tiger Camp. If he saw this token and still dared to mess with Liang Chuan, he would be in trouble!
Of course, there are some people who are short-sighted. They are not even qualified to know this token, but Xiao Zhang has already given him another token. The token of the Huitu Envoy is also powerful enough for Liang Chuan!
nice one!
'I can't tell you the function of this token, but as long as you take it out in Liao Kingdom, basically any problem can be solved! '
any problem!
Liang Chuan looked at the token and his mouth watered with disappointment.
He seemed to remember the fish charm Liu E gave him back then! Now that the treasure is still in his hands, Liang Chuan will not even take it out except when his life is at stake!
This Xiao Zhang doesn't seem to be a big talker. If he dares to speak in such a loud tone, he must have a certain amount of strength!
There are many powerful people in the Liao Kingdom. They are above the people and the laws of the Liao Kingdom. Conventional means have no effect on them. The only way to deal with them is to use shady means!
These people now also know that some people cannot be offended, such as Xiao Zhang's group of people!
'The Chief does not want to have anything to do with the Khitan officialdom, so I hope that the Chief will not show this token easily, otherwise it may bring unnecessary trouble to myself! '
Sincerity, what is sincerity? This is sincerity. People came from afar and drank the northwest wind on the sea for half a month. They didn’t complain at all. Just come and forget it. They also brought the keys to their own homes and let themselves Just go wherever you want and treat it as your own home. .
If you don't accept other people's sincerity like this, then you will be blind in vain. .
Good guy.
'Mr. Xiao, we met each other very late. We left Bianjing in a hurry and didn't have the chance to get to know each other in depth. Come, come, come, there is a lot of alcohol and food on the boat, sir, please don't see me outside! '
Xiao Zhang came here with great sincerity.
He didn't need to say more about the dangers that would arise if the two tokens fell into the wrong hands, but he wasn't worried either.
It's okay to reply to the image, but it's only for commercial use anyway.
If Liang Chuan uses the token they pressed in Huying to do something wrong, they will immediately verify it and report the situation. They will investigate it and once they find something is wrong, they will launch an attack on Liang Chuan. Counterattack, on Khitan's territory, we are not afraid of any big waves caused by Liang Chuan!
Since you want to cooperate with others and make money from them, you must first trust the other party. This is their consistent practice in Khitan, otherwise there will be no basis for this cooperation.
Xiao Zhang had originally planned to win over Liang Chuan. If Liang Chuan was willing to come to Khitan, the business could be successful and the relationship would be further developed in the future. When he reached out to him again, I didn't believe he wouldn't be tempted!
He raised so many soldiers and had such strong control of the sea, so he just stayed at sea and fished. Xiao Zhang was not a three-year-old boy. How could he believe that Liang Chuan had no other plans?
When Xiao Zhang saw Liang Chuan's fleet, he was also impressed by their magnificence.
Their largest sea-going ship is like a child in front of others. It can only transport less than half of the goods in the same trip, and the speed is still very different. The technology of the Han family is really extraordinary!
The Khitans are invincible on land, and Liang Chuan is invincible on sea. If the two of them join forces and advance both by land and water, wouldn't the world be at their fingertips?
Xiao Zhang even got reliable information. The ship was not only big, but also had a very powerful artillery on it, which was powerful enough to destroy the world. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes this time, he absolutely believed that otherwise Liang Chuan would have such a small number of people. Can you travel north and south without ever encountering an enemy?
Xiao Zhang must win over Liang Chuan. The Song people are stupid scholars like pigs. The more capable people are, the more opponents they see. It is normal to suppress them. They can tolerate people like Liang Chuan. He is so talented. Before he could make plans to force Liang Chuan away, they forced Liang Chuan out first. This was not exactly what he wanted!
Xiao Zhang didn't say anything, but the abacus in his mind was already rattling. Liang Chuan looked at Xiao Zhang's eyes, and his heart also thumped. Seeing him like this made him a little scared!
The chopsticks that Liang Chuan had just stretched out were once again fixed in the air.
'I just forgot to ask, Mr. Xiao, your Liao Kingdom has a vast territory and thousands of miles of sea, but we rarely reach your hometown. We don't know where your port is or what season is better to go there! '
The Khitan people went south to do business, but they couldn't get there in winter.
The Bohai Sea will freeze in winter. During this period, the temperature will be much lower than in later generations when the environment is heated due to the greenhouse effect! The ice on the sea surface lasted for a long time, making it impossible for ships to pass through. The Khitan ships also had no ice-breaking function, so they could only watch helplessly.
Moreover, the sea distance is too long for a round trip. It is impractical to rely on natural wind power to make multiple trips back and forth.
Liang Chuan laughed dryly and said: "Winter is almost over now, but we can't go north until spring at the earliest. We also need to prepare all kinds of goods that Xiao Da wants. Your Excellency knows that the Song Dynasty has implemented a sea ban. The board is not allowed to go into the sea, and it is difficult to get the goods! '
Before Xiao Zhang could continue, Liang Chuan greeted Xiao Zhang to eat the food: "The food is already cold, don't worry, we will discuss this matter in the long run after we have had enough wine and food. Mr. Xiao attaches so much importance to mutual discussion, I Liang Chuan is happy, because the villain is also a businessman. This kind of thing is a matter of mutual benefit and win-win for everyone. I will help you to think carefully and handle it beautifully! '
Xiao Zhang didn't expect Liang Chuan to be so cheerful. It was really a surprise.
A person who claims to be patriotic is actually a big profiteer. Can businessmen be patriotic? Maybe they love money more. Profit comes first. This is the truth.
Since the opponent has something he likes, that means he has a weakness. If he has a weakness, he can defeat him. If Liang Chuan likes something else, Xiao Zhang would not be able to handle it. If he likes money, it would be too easy!
