I really just want to lose my fortune

"What did he say?" Gan Ning frowned.

"He said, I really have a lot of goods, which is different from those people." Da Vinci interjected.

"Bah!" Gan Ning spat and said with a sneer, "He told me he had three boxes of goods and asked me to give them to him, but after I investigated, he only had one box of goods."

At this moment, several fast horses rushed over.

Liu Bowen was the first to dismount and said to everyone, "Why are there so many?"

"It's just to maintain law and order. There are so many things to maintain." Gan Ning spread his hands.

"General Gan has made a great contribution!" Liu Bowen only felt his eyes light up.

Now that the meat production in Jiaozhou is skyrocketing, it is very difficult to stabilize prices and make official purchases. Otherwise, Liu Bowen would not have been so busy to come to see it now.

Qin Ge had a small treasury, but not much. Most of Qin Ge's money was used to smash cavalry in Bingzhou.

This time, Qin Ge said that the person who died in Qi Jiguang's battle was paid by him. In fact, Qin Ge had no money at all, but he didn't know that the pressure was all on Liu Bowen.

Before Qin Ge took the stage, the purchase of piglets and the like was all borrowed. Liu Bowen borrowed from some businessmen in Jiaozhou relying on Qin Ge's reputation.

With the current batch of materials and money, it can be regarded as a solution to Liu Bowen's urgent needs.

Liu Bowen looked at Gan Ning with fiery eyes, wishing that he would go out to sea again and get some back.

"General Gan, did you snatch it?" Liu Bowen asked tentatively.

"No, it was confiscated for the maintenance of law and order." Gan Ning explained, "How could this be so fast!"

Gan Ning found that expropriating in the name of the country was much faster than stealing money.

To rob money, you must first find out where the fat sheep hides the money, you must know who has the cash and who has the goods, you must know how many enemies there are, whether there are officers and soldiers escorting them, and you must know whether the relationship behind the opponent is strong or not. I don't know how long it will take.

But now, it is reasonable to confiscate it no matter what, and it can also promote the prestige of Qin Guowei.

"The lord is not only the destiny, but also his own knowledge is beyond my comparability." Liu Bowen couldn't help but sighed, "When I saw the map drawn by the lord, I followed the lord."

"Looking at it now, it is really the wisest decision for the prince to set his sights on the whole world."

Although other small countries pay tribute every year, Great Qin also gives back every year, and the annual loss is not a small number.

And Qin Ge just sent people out to clean up the pirates, and made so much money...

"By the way, sir, those merchants..."

Gan Ning reported to Liu Bowen about the lies of the merchants.

"Hmph." Hearing Gan Ning's words, Liu Bowen immediately felt relieved: "How dare they do that?"

"It's absolutely true!" Gan Ning assured.

"These guys are really good at nothing." Liu Bowen said: "Is there anyone else who lied to you the first time?"

"Yes!" Gan Ning nodded.

"Catch all those people, behead them for public display, and hang them at the port." Liu Bowen said: "Cheating me to be an official of the Great Qin Dynasty, this is the end!"

"And then issued a decree, all businessmen who were caught by pirates and rescued by us, and can prove themselves, I will give them some start-up funds, or use it as travel expenses to go home."

"They could have taken back what belonged to them, but I can't find out how much they lost."

"Because someone was dishonest first, that's all I can do."

"If you want to hate, hate those bastard businessmen who took the lead in defrauding Daqin."

Pang Tong's eyes lit up, this Liu Bowen is really interesting.

There is a lot of truth in his decree alone.

"Shall I issue a decree? Doesn't the court need to come here?" Gan Ning was stunned.

When Qin Ge went to Xiliang, he had already gone to sea, and he had no idea what happened recently...

Chapter 337 Who is the transmigrator

"It's no longer needed." Liu Bowen shook his head.

Although the port is nominally under the jurisdiction of court officials, those people have been controlled by Liu Bowen.

If you want others to listen to what you say, you only need soldiers.

Now the time is too short, Liu Bowen still can't grasp the rights of the entire Jiaozhou, but it is still no problem to control this Nanhai County.

In other places, it is only a matter of time.

Gan Ning was a little puzzled, the prince has turned his back on him?I just went out to sea, how could I feel that everything changed after I came back.

"These businessmen should be under control for the time being, and the financial statistics will be calculated, and then they will be reported. I will go to the prince to ask for a decree." Liu Bowen said.

"I want to meet your noble lord." Da Vinci said hastily.

"This is..." Liu Bowen looked at Gan Ning suspiciously.

"It's a stinky painter, I asked him to draw a picture for the prince, and I will send it to the prince after he finishes the painting." Gan Ning said: "This kind of wandering painter who is brought here is not worthy of seeing the prince. what."

Liu Bowen nodded without saying anything.

In foreign countries, Da Vinci's paintings have been famous all over the world.

But in China...

How should I put it, one here is that oil paintings are not recognized very much, and the other is that no one would think that a painter can be anything special, and this is not the Song Dynasty.

Especially during this time of war, the social status of painters is even lower.

With Qin Ge's status, what he should consider is how to make long-distance and short-range attacks, how to control the entire sea area, and how to balance the martial arts.

Let a prince meet a painter?It's okay for the prince to have free time, but seeing a painter when he is so busy, it doesn't make sense at all for Confucian scholars.

Not to mention painters, even the powerful craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry who build ships, or even design ships, do not have a high status in this era, and the social status of scholars is higher.

If Gan Ning mentioned Da Vinci's other abilities, Liu Bowen might still be interested.

"I can do other things, I know a lot!" Da Vinci said hastily.

"It seems that you can speak our language, which is rare, so will you settle accounts?" Liu Bowen said.

"Yes!" Da Vinci nodded quickly.

"Okay, just because I'm short of manpower, let him stay and settle the score, and be an interpreter by the way." Liu Bowen said to Gan Ning.

"I..." Da Vinci still wanted to fight for himself, but seeing Gan Ning looking at him with dangerous eyes, he quickly shut up.

Da Vinci felt bitter, it really wasn't that easy to meet a noble person.

Let's help settle the accounts first. If you have time, you must finish the painting for that prince, so that you can meet him and see if he can sponsor me to go back to the country...

Obviously, Da Vinci didn't want to receive the relief money. He felt that these people were greedy for wealth, so they probably wouldn't give him too much money, not enough for the boat fare back home.

Moreover, Da Vinci also wanted to ask Qin Ge what happened to make the livestock grow bigger all of a sudden, whether it was a miracle or a method he couldn't understand.

Da Vinci's thirst for knowledge never stopped even when he was old.

This person's curiosity is very important...

…………

Soon, Liu Bowen returned to Qin Ge's place and reported to Qin Ge.

"What, Xingba is back? Why don't you let him come over, so I can meet you." Qin Ge couldn't sit still when he heard Gan Ning came back.

For sea transportation, he thinks too much.

"My lord, now is not the time." Liu Bowen said: "If your lord is still the same as before, then you really want to meet whoever you want, but it's different now."

"My lord will soon become the master of this Jiaozhou, and I have to get more formal. My disciples know that my lord values ​​friendship, but no matter whether it is fighting the world or defending the world, it is not friendship, but rules."

"Xingba has done meritorious service now. When the prince goes to see it at this time, it will only be a mess, and even the property has not been counted. Even if the prince goes, Xingba will not be happy if he is not ready. Why don't we wait for all the statistics? Alright, the prince will listen to Xingba's report again, this will make him more comfortable."

Qin Ge closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

The idea Liu Bowen mentioned is a bit like the idea of ​​starting a company.

Relying on brother loyalty to open a store, you can enjoy everything, then sooner or later there will be problems, even the best brothers may turn their faces.

As for what Liu Bowen said to be ready... Qin Ge can also be substituted into the ideas of later generations.

It's like subordinates reporting to their bosses, preparing for a meeting and cramming, asking questions and knowing nothing, it must be different.

Even if Qin Ge asked casually, it might put a lot of pressure on Gan Ning.

Therefore, Gan Ning did not ask to report to Qin Ge immediately, even though Qin Ge treated him like a confidant at the beginning.

Although Gan Ning's starting point is not this set of rules, he just wants Qin Ge to understand that he is right.

"I understand." Qin Ge nodded, it's time to get more formal, and there is no such thing as a circle without rules.

Now my team is more like a mess, anyone can report to Qin Ge, and there is no way to prioritize things.

His own political and military advisers are already in place, and it will become more reasonable as long as he fills in a group of middle-level talents.

"Berwen came back so soon, there must be other things, right?" Qin Ge said to Liu Bowen.

"Well, I would like to ask for a piece of decree..."

Soon, Liu Bowen talked about the problems of those businessmen.

Qin Ge asked suspiciously, "What's the meaning of this?"

"My lord, people are greedy. We saved their lives. They would really be grateful to us at that time, but after knowing that we are a government, they will ask for more." Liu Bowen said: "Especially the previous policies of the Great Qin Dynasty are very important to them. It's kinder, they're easy..."

"Push your nose on your face," Qin Ge said.

"Ha, your lord is right. After they found out, they not only want to return their own goods, but even want to lie about the goods they have. They also want us to be responsible for the goods that were robbed by other pirates." Liu Bowen said: "At this time, if you pay more or less, it will vary from person to person, and it will easily cause diplomatic problems. The centipede of the Great Qin Dynasty is dead but not stiff, and is not afraid of other countries, but if people are afraid of us, they are afraid of the enemy. Bad for trade."

"At this time, show some businessmen from various countries who want to lie, kill them, and then use them as a reason to set rules. Those businessmen will not hate us, but them."

"Hmm...Understood." Qin Ge couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, he didn't know who the time traveler was for a while.

Isn't this just a transfer of contradictions?You don't even have to go to work, there are plenty of these things in school.

The simplest example, the teacher wants to procrastinate the class, or is in a bad mood and wants to get angry. He directly calls out a few naughty students and tells them that they provoked them. The students hate the students, not the teachers.

Chapter 338 Talent Delivery

The so-called caring leads to chaos. Qin Ge cares too much about the affairs of the sea, so he walks on thin ice. But Liu Bowen even calculates the world, so it is natural to have a better mentality when dealing with the current affairs.

"Since they were robbed, why don't we give them money?" Qin Ge said.

"I also asked some businessmen just now. Seeing that they have been robbed, other countries are not even willing to give a little money." Liu Bowen said: "As long as I wait a little longer, they will be more willing to come to Daqin."

"It's easy to cause introversion, right?" Qin Ge said, "If other countries also use this method to attract businessmen, won't we suffer slowly?"

"Introduction? This statement is new, and the prince's generalization is really unique." Liu Bowen said: "It will indeed, this will take a long time."

Qin Ge was thoughtful.

With the current traffic and communication, I don't know how many years it will take to roll it up.

When everyone has given up profits to a certain extent, then no one will give up any more.

Well, there may also be some great cleverness in some countries, doing some thankless things, such as countries that make money worse than paper.

At that time, it was time to fight for national strength.

Just like a bunch of food delivery platforms at the beginning, if you fight for money until the end, the small ones will definitely not be able to hold on.

"Then I'll wait for the shipping, what are the advantages in the future." Qin Ge said: "In addition to giving them a little start-up capital."

"Safety." Liu Bowen said: "General Gan is on the sea, clearing up pirates. Right now, the profits are extremely fast, but as time goes by, the gains will become less and less. Those pirates are not fools. Within five years, they will be I will be afraid of being beaten, and even the waters near my Daqin will make those pirates talk about it."

"This is not a bad thing, it's a good thing. When there are no pirates near the Daqin sea area, when those merchants come into our sight and start to obey the rules automatically, more merchants will be willing to come to our Daqin. Merchant, to put it bluntly They are people who hang their heads on their waistbands for a living. We can provide them with security, and they will come."

"At this time, our front line can be stretched farther, and we can go to more places to maintain law and order, but that also requires the strength of the prince and the navy. Although General Gan returned safely, he brought back a lot Ships and cargo, but he should have experienced a lot of danger."

"Yes." Qin Ge nodded: "Understood, you must not relax about the sea."

"As ordered."

Huiji County.

Cai Yong looked at Cai Wenji's family letter and Liu Bowen's letter, and couldn't help sighing quietly: "The girl is not allowed to stay."
