Chapter 171 Use cat skin as tiger skin
He handed over five kilograms of gold to a sir guard at the deputy city guard of the Sicheng Pass. Zhao Xing said to him: "In the future, the real estate within the Sicheng Pass will be a huge income for us. You must remember this. Our principle is to sell it more expensive than sell it at a low price."
The deputy city guard nodded: "Lord, Lord."
"There is another thing that we must insist on, that is, we only collect gold or copper, and what we spend must be our own money. Taxes only charge us our money. Here, we must develop this habit and rule."
"But, Lord, where did we get so much money?"
Zhao Xing took back the gold he had just handed to him before he could warm up: "I'll exchange you 51,000 yuan now, and you can put it in your treasury."
The deputy city guard was surprised: "How come there are a thousand places in multiple places?"
"What is extra is interest. You exchange it with them. For example, half a pound of money from Wei, you give him sixteen of our money, and half a pound of money from Qi, we exchange him for one of the half a pound of gold, and ten thousand of them for a pound of gold. In this way, our money is a standard exchange ratio for different coins from each country. At this time, we charge one of the procedures for exchanging one hundred coins, so our money will be circulated to other countries and eventually become the common currency of each vassal state. And we can obtain a large amount of unimaginable profit in the exchange."
This deputy city guard was a smart man and immediately saw the huge benefits: "The master and subordinates guarantee that they will pay the profits to Xingjun's mansion in the next year."
Zhao Xing smiled and shook his head: "It's still too urgent for half a year, because I still have to build another city and a small city on the edge of the river, on the bridgehead of the iron chain bridge."
Zhao She asked: "Brother, is that necessary?"
Zhao Xing said: "There is that necessary. First, it is to protect the dock, that is, to protect the connection channel between our four-passing level and Zhao State. Second, it is also a horn with our four-passing level. If the enemy attacks, we can cooperate with each other. This is called Double Fort Defense. At the same time, our soldiers will withdraw and stay there, so that the four-passing level will become a commercial city. Please remember that this place will not only be the largest commercial city in the future, but also the foundation for our four-passing level."
As soon as he heard about the four episodes, Zhao She Congsheng immediately understood what Zhao Xing meant.
As he wished, Tian Dan not only met the merchants from Qin State at the fourth pass, but also met the representative merchants of other large and small princes. He quickly negotiated the transaction of the goods in his hands. But as Zhao Xing expected, the transactions between countries and the different values of various coins and coins are really dazzling and difficult to calculate.
As a result, he got good news, that was, Zhao Xing opened a coin exchange office next to his city guard. For example, he could exchange half a tael of Qin for his own collection for the money from Dai County. Then, he could pay taxes, site fees, etc. at the same time, he could use the money from Dai County to buy goods from other princes.
The coin of Daijun is so exquisite, and the exquisite ones can almost be regarded as works of art. The stainless-retard golden color makes people love it even more. All countries are proud of having Daijun coins.
Tian Dan, who has a deep business gene, decided to redeem all his payment for goods into coins from Daijun when he went back. What is the handling fee of 101 cents? When he went back, the exchange rate of 105 cents was definitely popular.
Well, if you make money, you make four cents for one hundred yuan, this transaction seems to be very profitable. Just do it like this, and within a year, you will definitely become rich.
There were many merchants from all countries with such thoughts. In this way, the coins of Dai County began to circulate in various vassal states, and the world's mixed currencies surged into the four passes. Everyone thought Zhao Xing was a fool, but Zhao Xing believed that everyone in the world was a fool. The reason was that Zhao Xing stood at the height of later generations and looked at the current currency.
As long as you have the right to mint coins and as long as each vassal state circulates its own currency, then wiping out the sheep will become its own power, and you can completely let a country collapse because of lack of money or too much money.
How simple it is to defeat others without fighting and destroy the country.
Tian Dan left, but he would come again. Merchants from all over the country flocked in because they knew the role of the four-level clearance. A prosperous four-level clearance is growing. Four-level clearance is Zhao Xing's money tree.
But Zhao Xing is very lazy and doesn't want to care about the planned things. First, he is very tired and there is no need to do so; second, he is too involved, which makes his subordinates restrain his actions, which is not conducive to exerting his subordinates' initiative.
In particular, Zhao Xing has his real purpose here.
In the commercial hall of Dai County, the paper in Dai County is the most attractive goods. Zhou Gongqi, the steward of the Zhou emperor, was talking to Zhao Xing about the paper business: "The paper in Dai County is really good. It is not only easy to write, but also has a huge capacity between the front and the back. The Tang Hou is worthy of being the descendant of the ancestor of the sage, and it really has great guidance for the present world." Then he said awkwardly: "Especially the emperor's hemorrhoids, he used Dai County paper to use it to the toilet, which is much more comfortable."
Zhao Xing solemnly bowed to Zhou Yuan's direction: "It is the responsibility of the minister to be favored by the emperor, and I feel honored." Zhao Xing felt honored for his boss to be happy to go to the toilet. Instead, he was proud of it.
Then he solemnly asked again: "I'm going to ask Duke Zhou, if I attack Zhongshan Kingdom next year, will the emperor agree?"
Duke Zhou had not been questioned for a long time because of the siege among the princes. This time he heard a prince asking for it again, and felt very comfortable, so he rubbed his beard and said, "Zhongshan is also a country in the Central Plains. It is a disaster for soldiers to cause trouble, and it is unkind."
Zhao Xing took out a box from behind: "I really admire Zhou Gong's kindness. I don't know how to express my respect for Zhou Gong's character. Now I offer a pair of jade bis. May Zhou Gong's character always be as bright and pure as jade bis."
Duke Zhou laughed so hard that he was out of sight. "The emperor was also in a dilemma. After all, Zhongshan had already surrendered to Qi. In order to be recognized by the emperor, he passed Qi and worshipped him every year."
Zhao Xing said, "Zhouyuan is already small and has little output. This makes the emperor unable to honor his ancestors. As a minister, it is a dereliction of duty." Then he blocked his face with his sleeves in shame: "So I plan to pass the four levels, leave a shop and yard, dedicate it to the emperor, open a shop here, produce takeout from the Central Plains, and then contact the princes at the same time, urge them to hand over the offerings. This is also a responsibility as a minister."
Duke Zhou said happily: "There are no more princes in the world who can be so compassionate to the emperor. The Tang Dynasty really cares about it."
"I promised the emperor to offer two thousand kilograms of gold every five years. I planned to deliver it on time at the four-day customs clearance according to the five million Daijun money per year. Please accept it."
This was 25 million yuan, and Duke Zhou could no longer sit still. At that time, he said: "Zhongshan, after Bairong, he was originally a foreigner, and he had been secretly occupying the Central Plains for a long time. The attack and destruction were the great principles of maintaining the etiquette and education of the Central Plains. I asked the emperor to agree to it." Then he promised: "Although Zhongshan Kingdom is a vassal of Qi, the principles of the world cannot be changed. The emperor will announce to the world that you order you to attack Zhongshan and to purely the Central Plains civilization."
Zhao Xing stood up and solemnly bowed and saluted again: "Here."
Zhou Zhang had spent so much effort, but Zhao Xing asked for this sentence. When he destroyed Zhongshan, he hoped that Qi would take into account the face of the emperor and not interfere.
Once Qi does not give face to the Emperor Zhou and intervenes, Zhao Xing can legitimately pull up his little brother Zhao Yong and use the entire country of Zhao to fight against Qi together.
Or drag the Korean Song Kingdom and join the two of its own allies.
This is very necessary. It is not to make the vassal states recognize the legality of its destruction of Zhongshan. The most important thing is to let those in the entire Zhao State who oppose their pull to destroy Zhongshan by Zhao State.
Sometimes, a cat skin acts as a tiger's skin and is necessary to make a big banner. The words of the Emperor Zhou Dynasty may not count, but it depends on who is in the hands of those who are strong. In the hands of those who are strong, it is absolutely golden words.
Of course, taking it out in the hands of the poor and weak is a big deal.
