Chapter 508: Semu people and the sea
At the extraordinary meeting, Sun Yue faced the heart-warming exchanges between several big businessmen and some agents. Although he had never been in the government office in his previous life, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. Although his methods of handling were far inferior to Sun Chunming, he was considered clever when he was given to the Song Dynasty.
Sun Yue said that apart from money, they will not be really characterized as traitors, but instead will give them an indicator of sacrifice. However, he will not stand up to take credit for his work. He is willing to play a black face in this matter. These businessmen can brag with their friends and will not make it difficult for them to do.
This is the same as the fact that most work-related injury insurance in later generations were compensated by legal persons.
At the same time, Sun Yue also told them that if there are any specific trivial matters in the future, you can go to Lu Mengzheng to deal with them. Lu Mengzheng's ability is far stronger than Murong Yan. If Murong Yan is willing to continue doing it later, just treat her as a supervisor. I hope everyone can understand the coordination matters.
Although these merchants and officials, gentry and wealthy families have some power, they have never seen such approachable officials? In other words, when Sun Chunming built Luoyang, they regarded themselves as personal views. Now when they saw Sun Yue, they gave them thumbs up and praised the Sun family's family education, saying that the father and son were kind and righteous.
Sun Yue also took the opportunity to care about them and asked if there was anything that needed support and whether there were any difficulties. There were really a few ignorant people. They said something that was actually very troublesome. Sun Yue generously responded and then instructed him to go to Lu Mengzheng to solve the problem, and he would supervise it, which moved them very much.
After these matters were handled, it had been more than an hour. Sun Yue also squeezed out precious time to treat them to a meal. At the meal, the merchants gave him a big surprise.
A businessman from Semen spoke fluent Song Dynasty official language and respectfully praised Sun Yue's respect for these merchants, and then said that they could pay money to help Sun Yue build Jizhou City together.
Of course, Sun Yue was very interested in this and quickly invited someone to his own hall to discuss in detail.
In Sun Yue's plan, Zhuzhou City was a military city, so it was built a bastion like Luoyang. The project volume was extremely large, requiring countless bricks, cement and labor. Therefore, with all efforts, even the Sun family's city construction model was not able to start construction on both lines. Most of the shareholders of the "company" who came to help with the construction were allocated by the mineral resources of Hebeidi and the trade monopoly on the Liao Dynasty, and planned to hand it over to them for future operations. It did not involve Jizhou, because Jizhou City was used to be used by others.
There is no need to build a bastion in Jizhou City. Just build a city wall, because if the Liao Kingdom attacked Jizhou, it would be necessary to turn a corner under Zhuzhou City. The Tianxiong Army dared not go out of the city to fight in the field, and could leave the city to cut off their retreat at any time. However, as a city based on trade in inner ports and coastal areas, the amount of money spent on renovating rivers, docks, and other work is no less than that of Zhuzhou's bastion.
To be honest, the shareholders in the 'company' built Luoyang first and then Zhuzhou were almost drained. Although the expected prospects were good, he had no idea when Jizhou City could be built. This was because he had a money house to make commercial loans, otherwise Zhuzhou would be in trouble.
Now a pair of rich heads suddenly fell from the sky, and Sun Yue was so happy that he was so happy.
After communication, Sun Yue also roughly understood the considerations of these people.
At this time, the sea is also the world of these Arabs. Since the Silk Road was cut off, these people have been running around since the Silk Road was cut off. So if you really have more money, I am afraid that the Sun family may not be able to beat them even if they take out the company.
It is just because these people have money and boats that the imperial court’s control over them is not very effective. Over the past five generations, many emperors have made up their minds to sharpen their knives and rush to pigs and sheep, but most of their property is not in the mainland, and they can run by boat in Shanghai, so no one can take them.
Most of these people used to rely on Quanzhou and Guangzhou, which is the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty. They lived a very comfortable life. Quanzhou also built their mosques, which were rich. Until Sun Yue recovered the Southern Han Dynasty, these people returned to the arms of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had good naval forces and could not be used to them like the Southern Han Dynasty, so their losses were actually quite heavy. When Sun Yue came back from the Southern Tang Dynasty, gold, silver and jewelry could not hold Zhao Kuangyin's sealed piles and warehouses. In fact, half of the scraped money was their money.
Everyone knows that in the end, they are actually playing politics. They are not strong enough to speak under the cover of the Song Dynasty, and their subsequent business is naturally not very good. The key is that they have never been able to enter the core circle of power in the Song Dynasty.
Somehow, these people came to the river and north inexplicably by using commercial banknotes and salt. They worked hard to transport such little cement and grain from Li Lingnan. They used their knees to make money. They investigated for several months, and finally showed up with him under the urge to be on Sun Yue's heart today.
Otherwise, what if you say it is a coincidence?
After their observation, they learned that Sun Yue, like Sun Chunming, is a man who values businessmen and respects businessmen, and is also a rare person who understands business. With the current power of the Sun family father and son, even if the chaos in the Five Dynasties continues, the father and son can guarantee that the power of more than 40 years will not be lost for at least forty years. It is a big tree that can be relied on.
Moreover, they have no interest in the trade and minerals of Hebei. They are interested in only sea transportation. I hope Sun Yue can support them and allow them to operate the port in Jizhou City. If they are allowed to build a mosque in Jizhou City, they can even repair the inland river port.
What else can I consider? As a person who traveled through time in later generations, I understand the importance of shipping. Not to mention the great discovery of the ocean in the 15th century, just talking about the Southern Song Dynasty. After losing half of the country, the GDP was even higher than that in the Northern Song Dynasty. Isn’t it because of the development of shipping?
However, with the current economic strength of the Song Dynasty, all the money he earned was used to fight wars, so he could not care about sailing. But today, this Semi man gave him the idea of borrowing a chicken to lay eggs.
So Sun Yue not only agreed to his two conditions, but also agreed to set up a special area for them in Jizhou City in the future so that they could live according to the customs of their own nations and support him in principle, which was different from the Song Dynasty. However, there was an additional condition, that is, if you had to lend the sea boat to the court to form a navy and pay.
So it hit it off and Jizhou City broke ground tomorrow. Sun Yue ran home excitedly and shared her joy with Murong Yan, but thought that the girl had just been stimulated and was a little excited for a moment.
