In fact, in China, whether in ancient times or modern times, officials should pay great attention to their words and deeds, especially those high-ranking officials, at least on the surface, or else, the people can see at a glance that you are a corrupt official or a cash bag, which will make the people lose confidence in the government. In fact, the real acting skills are in the officialdom, not the entertainment industry.

Zhao Chiman received a good education since childhood, was born in a family of officials, and it was the first time he dealt with Han Yi. Han Yi's words and Han Yi's expression looked completely different from a prime minister, but more like a fool. At least no official said to him when he met for the first time, "Haha! You are going to be successful." If you say this, you have to be responsible for it.

This also made him not know how to answer.

He doesn't understand Han Yi's routine, but Zhang Daxiang understands it. Han Yi is a serious joke and talks about serious matters. It turns out that he doesn't understand it very well, but now he has figured it out. This is the real and real. You can't figure out which sentence is true and which sentence is false. This will make you move forward and back freely, but only Han Yi can play it. Han Yi is young and too deceptive. Changsun Wuji wants to play like this, but he can't play it. He is in his fifties and sixties. He immediately said, "Zhen Man, it seems that your trip is worth this!"

Is that? Why do I feel like it’s a waste of time? Zhao Chiman squeezed out a smile and said to Han Yi: “Please forgive me for being foolish, I wonder where Mr. Han said this?”

"Just rely on Liangzhou!"

Han Yi smiled and said, "I believe that Governor Zhao has also heard of the Northwest Plan. The key to the Northwest Plan is to clear the trade route and get rich through business. What is the most important thing about business? Of course, this is the road. Liangzhou is a transportation fortress and the gateway to the Hexi Corridor. It connects the front line to the vast desert and controls the throats of the five counties. The essence of the entire Northwest Plan is in Liangzhou, and it can also be said to start from Liangzhou."

Zhao Chiman nodded and said, "But Liangzhou has been a transportation fortress since ancient times, and this has never changed."

Liangzhou is a military and trade major, and it has developed very well. Everyone knows that you have no meaning to say these.

Han Yi said: "Governor Zhao is modest. Liangzhou's potential is far more than that. It won't take long to get Liangzhou as prosperous as Chang'an."

Zhao Chiman and Zhang Daxiang were shocked suddenly, Liangzhou became as prosperous as Chang'an, which was a little exaggerated.

Zhang Daxiang was surprised and said, "Mr. Han, why have I never heard you say about this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "Because this is the next plan of our Ministry of Revenue. I originally planned to propose it again this year. Governor Zhao is here. I think being able to have an interview with Governor Zhao will be of great help to the entire plan."

As he chatted, Zhao Chiman felt that Han Yi was not fooling others, so he clasped his fists and said, "It is a blessing for the junior official to be able to get advice from Minister Han."

"Governor Zhao is out of here!" Han Yi bowed and replied, "Governor Zhao was able to come to me for business negotiations on this holiday. It can be seen that Governor Zhao is dedicated to his duties and is truly considering the people of Liangzhou. It is admirable. How can Han Yi hide it?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Zhao Chiman said with shame that he was mainly worshiping the wharf today, and his political significance was greater than policy.

Zhang Daxiang hurriedly said, "Mr. Han, what are your plans? Tell me quickly. I'm anxious to wait."

Han Yi asked back without answering, "I dare to ask Mr. Zhang, why is Chang'an so prosperous?"

Zhang Daxiang was stunned and said, "Chang'an is the capital, so it is naturally prosperous."

Han Yi shook his head and said, "This is true, but you didn't say the point. The real reason for the prosperity of Chang'an is because of the large population and there is no one to talk about prosperity."

Zhao Chiman said: "But what does this have to do with Liangzhou?"

"Population is the key!" Han Yi said: "It is actually very simple to want Liangzhou to be as prosperous as Chang'an. As long as the migrant population is as large as Chang'an, then that's fine."

"Yes!"

Zhang Daxiang suddenly realized and said curiously: "But how can I do this?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "This depends on the market trade plan that our Ministry of Revenue will propose next year."

“Market Trade?”

Zhao Chiman and Zhang Daxiang said in unison.

They were moved and surprised because they were too ordinary, because the market exists for trade, so what kind of plan is this?

But at the same time, the two also knew that Han Yi's market trade plan must have other mystery.

Han Yi said: "Now my Tang Dynasty has just eliminated the rebels of Asuna Helu and controlled the northwest region. However, the connection between the northwest region and the court is still very weak. Therefore, the court formulated a northwest plan to increase the connection between each other. The reason why we chose business is because business is in circulation, and only circulation can establish connections. In the past, the court recruited merchants to invest in the northwest, but this was only the first step. These people would come back after building the road. How to strengthen the connection between each other depends on this market trade plan. This market trade is not about building a market and everyone does business, but about the trade between markets, which refers to the region, not between people."

Zhao Chiman and Zhang Daxiang looked at each other. They lacked understanding of the market and didn't understand them very well.

Han Yi also said: "In the next few years, the court will build five large markets in the northwest from Liangzhou, in addition to Liangzhou, there are Beiting, Kucha, Khotan, and Shule. This is the entire Northwest Trade Network. Once these five major markets are established, the goods shipped to the northwest will increase in multiples, because this reduces the difficulty of merchants in communicating. In fact, the biggest obstacle for merchants to lead to the northwest is the long journey, which discourages many merchants. As long as this problem is solved, the Northwest Plan will achieve major success.

Market trade is born for this. Merchants who are unwilling to leave only need to transport goods to Liangzhou to exchange for products from the Western Regions. Merchants from the Western Regions can exchange goods from the Central Plains when they arrive at Shule. That is to say, each market is just a transit station, not the end point or the starting point. Everything is moving, allowing the market to establish close contact with the market. For a certain merchant, the cost of transportation is greatly reduced. Merchants from the Western Regions can deliver goods to Shule, and merchants from the grassland can deliver goods to Beiting. Merchants from the Tuyuhun will go to Liangzhou. Merchants from the Tubo can go to Yutian and Liangzhou."

Zhang Daxiang nodded and said, "No wonder you asked someone to build the road in advance. As long as the road is widened, businessmen will be more willing to trade exchanges."

"good!"

Han Yi said: "Reducing the difficulties of merchants is the only way to enhance trade. However, among the five major markets, Liangzhou is the top priority."

Zhao Chiman thoughtfully said: "Transport one line to the vast desert and control the throats of the five counties."

“That’s exactly that!”

Han Yi smiled and said, "Liangzhou is the gateway to the Hexi Corridor and is the only way for Central Plains to move to the Western Regions. The entire Central Plains exported to the Western Regions will be gathered in Liangzhou, and then distributed to various places from Liangzhou, either Beiting, Anbei, Tuyuhun, or Kucha. At the same time, goods from the Western Regions will also be gathered in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou will be distributed to Chang'an, Luoyang, and all over the Central Plains.

Such a huge amount of goods will bring a lot of business opportunities, so I won’t say that even a hundred hotels in Liangzhou will not be enough. Even if there are 100 hotels, how many people will be recruited, and restaurants, etc. At that time, the people near Liangzhou will all gather in Liangzhou City. Liangzhou becomes full of gold, and every household can make a lot of money. The people in Liangzhou have all gone to the city, so how should the fertile land in Liangzhou be handled?

It’s very simple. Imitate the Yuan family and let the people rent the land to merchants from other places, and then the merchants from other places will plant it. This will facilitate the land planning of Liangzhou. As for governor Zhao, the population of Liangzhou has increased sharply. Since our Tang Dynasty was taxed based on the population, taxes will inevitably increase. If the taxes increase, political achievements will be good. At the same time, the people will be rich and Liangzhou has also been built. The entire Liangzhou has made a qualitative leap. As governor Zhao, the governor of Liangzhou, tell me, what reason do you have to not make a fortune?"

After these words, Zhao Chiman knew that Han Yi was not really joking with him. In the whole plan, Liangzhou was simply making money while lying down. This is actually very normal. Wherever the policy goes, you will be lucky. However, Zhao Chiman is also a very cautious person. He doesn't think that he will make money while lying down. Since Liangzhou is the top priority, if something goes wrong, Liangzhou is also responsible and asks very cautiously: "I don't know what I should do to cooperate with the court's northwest plan."

It seems that Brother Wuji didn't specifically put some candles into me! A hint of praise flashed in Han Yi's eyes and said, "Governor Zhao only needs to do three things well. First, build the road! Without roads, there is nothing.

Secondly, expand the service industry. In the important trade location, all the customers come from. What customers from other places need is very simple, which is to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. As long as this set of services is done, Liangzhou will just count the money when sleeping.

Finally, and the most important point is security. Without security, who dares to go to Liangzhou? Moreover, Liangzhou is still a military-heavy place, guarding military-oriented areas. Therefore, Governor Zhao not only needs to do a good job in internal security issues, crack down on illegal forces such as thieves and bullies, but also a bright world in Liangzhou, so that he will not pick up the remains of the road and not close his doors at night. He also needs to consolidate border defenses and prevent foreign enemies from invading. Of course, the court will also provide you with support in this regard. As long as these three points are done well, the rest will be small problems and can be repaired slowly."

After these words, Zhao Chi was convinced. He finally understood why Gao Luxing gave the Ministry of Revenue to Han Yi. Han Yi did not rely on flattery. Although he only said a rough idea, his general policy was very clear, which was to establish trade between the market, which was much greater than trade between people. He stood up and fisted and said, "Thank you, Minister Han, for your advice, I am grateful."

"Where! Where!"

Han Yi also stood up and said, "But Governor Zhao, you have to understand that what I said about you is not only because you are Governor Liangzhou, but also because I believe in Governor Zhao's character. Before the policy was officially introduced, I hope Governor Zhao can keep silent and expose it in advance, and I am afraid that it will change."
