Fast Time Travel: The Posture of the Female Supporting Counterattack

Chapter 38 The Merchant's Daughter (38)

"President Bai, President Luo, I am very aware of your worries and concerns. If the grain merchants are only engaged in Dajing's business and the profits are meager, the reason why I didn't immediately replace the positions of the two of you as president is that Because you two still have a final bottom line."

"Since the three chambers of commerce have merged into the Four Seasons Store, I will not treat you badly. In the future, the grain trade of the Four Seasons Store will only account for a very small part of all profits. In addition to the grain trade, the Four Seasons Store will open up a wider shipping route and establish several like Qingzhou. great port."

"hiss!"

This, this, this.
Speaking of making money, there is no business more profitable than developing sea transportation. Businessmen from neighboring countries must use sea transportation if they want to sell their country's specialties overseas. The same goes for shipping things from Dajing.

Frequent exchanges of merchants will lead to the prosperity of major ports. Driven by trade, the population will increase, urban construction will get better and better, people will have money, and the country will become richer as taxes increase.

In normal times, the two presidents, Kong Fang and Bai Luo, would not even dare to think about it, but now that the Lan family is rich and Duan Guogong's mansion is powerful, once it is realized, the profits will be huge.
"Ms. Chu, doesn't the Lan family already hold the sea shipping line? If the Four Seasons Shop gets involved, wouldn't it be their own family beating their own family?" President Bai was not overwhelmed by ecstasy, and looked at Lan Xi with some puzzlement .

"The Lan family's shipping business line is from Qingzhou to Yuezhou, and the Four Seasons Store starts from Wuzhou and goes south, opening up a new business line."

"From Wuzhou to the south, isn't that the pearl of the southern country written in the seafood market in Huaben?" Kong Fang asked.

"But it's all written in the book. Is there really such a place?" Poirot and the two presidents were skeptical about this.

"The end of the sea is the land, and where there is land, there is a country. There are all kinds of difficulties outsiders can't imagine in the process of opening up the route, but again, the more you pay, the greater the benefits. I don't know if you are interested in gambling with me. Take the big one."

Lan Xi smiled like a spring breeze. Although he was a blogger, his tone was very firm. The two presidents of Bai Luo looked at Lan Xi and sighed in their hearts. In the hands of others, what qualifications do they have to say no.

"Master, I am willing to go to Wuzhou to find new business lines." Kong Fang was younger than the two presidents, Bai Luo, and was full of energy.

"There's no rush. There will be opportunities in the future. The previous ones were just appetizers. What I'm going to talk about now is the main topic." Lan Xi raised her hand to signal everyone to be calm.

"Presidents, you are all experts in grain merchants. What I need you to do now is, besides harvesting grain, you send the people below to go to all the grain-producing places in Dajing, especially the remote areas. It would be best if you can contact the local large farming order, and give me a detailed figure of the land suitable for cultivation in each area and the yield per mu."

"Mrs. Chu, what do you mean by doing this?" President Luo asked, "If you want detailed figures, it's better to ask the Ministry of Households directly, isn't it easier?"

"We are Four Seasons Store, how can we have the Ministry of Accounting do things for us? Even if we can get the figures from the Ministry of Accounting, seeing is believing." Lan Xi rejected Chairman Luo's proposal without hesitation.

"As for why we do this, you will know later. In short, Young Master Duan will not treat you badly."

Putting on Duan and He's tiger skin, sure enough, Kong Fang and Bai Luo, the two presidents, stopped talking. With the big Buddha in Duan Guogong's mansion covering them, they don't need to worry about many problems at all, and they can earn money honestly by abiding by laws and regulations. Tools will do.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to take care of this matter as soon as I get back." The three presidents spoke at the same time, especially the two presidents Bai Luo. The last trace of dissatisfaction with Lan Xi had been removed from their hearts.

In the following days, the head of the three newly appointed presidents, Shopkeeper Tong, was extremely busy. In addition to throwing out a large amount of banknotes to stockpile food, he also had to sort out the land data sent by the three presidents from various places and hand them over to him. Lan Xi.

Lan Xi put these things away every time she looked at them. Shopkeeper Tong tried to ask several times but held back.

Shopkeeper Tong and the three presidents worked hard to collect and stockpile grain. Half a month later, shopkeeper Gou who stayed in Wuzhou finally got the news that Ma Laoliu took the former big farmer's order to control the locust disaster in Beiyuan. In the phased victory, Beiyuan people not only praised Ma Laoliu and Da Nong Order in letters, but also mentioned that the court should send people to discuss the transaction as soon as possible.

Shopkeeper Tong wept with joy when he got the news, and immediately told Lan Xi the good news.

Dajing Palace.

The emperor heard the report from Duan Yuhe, and stood up from the dragon chair: "She really did it."

"Well, I received a secret report yesterday that Xiyao's army gathered on the southwest border a month ago, and it has stagnated in the past two days. I thought that the Four Seasons Store must have annexed the three major chambers of commerce and actively hoarded food. Xiyao couldn't figure it out. We have to stop and watch the situation, and dare not start a war rashly." Duan Yuhe stood in front of the emperor and said.

"Xiyao is Dajing's strong enemy after all. She has always wanted to annex Dajing. The southwestern border has been quiet for more than ten years and Xiyao is about to start to move again." "Xiyao's grain merchants wantonly purchased grain at high prices. Apart from preparing for the war, the rest of the grain was traded with Zhibeiyuan. Now the line between Xiyao and Beiyuan has been cut off, and Xiyao's desire to covet Beiyuan has been cut off. Yao will definitely go to war with Dajing."

"This is what I am worried about. Therefore, I will leave the capital immediately and strive to reach a deal with Beiyuan as soon as possible to bring back the craftsmen to make weapons."

"Wait, Yuhe, what are you going to do with the Lan family after this incident? Lan Xi has done something to Dajing this time, so don't force them too much. If you push the Lan family into a hurry, it will be a big disaster for Dajing in the future."

"Your Majesty, the Lan family has always been loyal to Dajing. If they had second thoughts, they would not have waited until now. Now that Dajing has the help of Beiyuan craftsmen, the Lan family will not easily turn against each other. As for how to deal with the Lan family, my minister Haven't figured it out yet."

"Forget it, go ahead and bring the Beiyuan craftsmen back to Dajing." The emperor waved his hand and said nothing.

"Sir, take orders."

Duan Yuhe knew very well what the emperor said and what was in his heart. The emperor was both happy and afraid of the Lan family. What was happy was that half of the money in the treasury had been contributed by the Lan family over the years. The family members might become the tiger in the emperor's mind that day.

The only blame is that the Lan family is too capable and profitable. If the Lan family does not fight back this time, they will wait to become fish on the chopping board.

If the Lan family were to be destroyed, Duan Yuhe would still feel a little regretful, but he would not influence the emperor's thoughts, as long as Lan Xi was smart enough, he would not mind turning a blind eye... After all, there are not many smart and obedient people !
