The economic foundation determines the superstructure!

Compared with the Han Empire at this time, Liaodong has been formed and different. In the pass, those in charge were all the landlords who own a lot of land to farm and study and pass on their families. The landlords and manors were also the main economic foundation of the Han Empire.

Outside the pass, a large family of land inherited from the family has not yet been formed. The only thing that supports Wang Hou's financial operations is the endless businessman. In addition to the self-cultivated farmers he cultivates, there are even large areas of land rented to merchants in the form of contracts, and they hired people to farm. This form of agriculture also surpasses the feudal farms, which is somewhat similar to the central farm business model of American devils in later generations.

The one who is in charge of the government here is the warlord and the other is the big merchant.

Then, this investment promotion conference held in Jinzhou was another grand event where warlords colluded with merchants.

Not to mention, those who do business are diligent than those of the gentry who exploit serfs as rice insects. After all, the gentry only needs to wait for the autumn harvest and collect taxes and exchange food for money to enjoy themselves. No matter how big the boss is, he must participate in the business. If Wang Hou issued this investment recruitment order, it would take at least one month to gather people. In Liaodong, in five days, those who are far away in Jiaocheng, all of them come here.

Now the commercial gentry has formed a unique culture of the commercial gentry. For example, this time, the gentry had one table for each person, and it was enough to drink, eat, eat, watch the little girl sing and dance. But this time, there was no fixed table at all. A row of square tables were placed in the middle of the banquet hall on the third floor of the Jinzhou government office. There were various good wines and ready-made dessert and cold meals on it, so they could be used at will.

Because compared to the extremely full pace of life of the gentry, which is full of food, drink, and recite poems and paintings, merchants are much faster. They need to communicate information at any time, such as the price of mountain goods leaving the port this quarter, and merchants who go deep into the mountains of Liaodong to purchase medicinal materials and merchants who open shops in the port to hand over new orders, or exchange all information that is conducive to trade.

But even though they were so busy, there were more than twice as many big merchants who came to attend the Wanghou meeting than when developing the island city and Ma'anshan. They were no longer limited to the two weeks of Qingxu. They went to the Wu army in Jingzhou in the south and Liangzhou in Guanzhong in the west. There were even more than a dozen Western Region Hu merchants with big beards and headscarves who got invitation tickets from somewhere and mixed into the venue.

These guys didn't recognize their children, and spoke in crash-class versions of the official language, and squeezed into the local circle with shamelessness and rasping, and also exchanged information.

This also shows that Wang Hou's support class is becoming increasingly powerful and wider, and it is in contrast to the traditional Confucian scholars, peasants, industrial and commercial status. These rising large capitalists vampires can only follow Wang Hou's footsteps. They cannot change their ranks and be loyal to any other warlord. This is Wang Hou's biggest advantage! He wants to build himself into the East India Company of the Han Empire!

The next step to advance into the grassland is also an extremely important step for him to move towards the East India Company of the Great Han!

"The lord is here!"

Suddenly, several heavily armored infantry standing at the door stood up and saluted. Wang Hou limped in with his civil servants and counselors under his command, but his walking posture did not damage his majesty at all. As he came in, the hall that was originally boiling and booming suddenly became silent. The next second, all the big merchants, regardless of whether they knew him or not, bowed neatly.

"Meet General Zhenbei!"

"Everyone, get up! Haha, Mr. Tian finally came early today, so I don't have to send someone to invite you!"

In the crowd, Tian Rang, the "Boss of Liaodong Coal Boss", was also there, and he was talking loudly. Listening to Wang Hou's joke, the old guy couldn't help but blush, and smiled bitterly and replied: "General, don't laugh at me! General, I'm giving me wealth and honor, but I don't know it. I'm really ashamed!"

A joke made the originally serious atmosphere of the venue a lot liven up. While walking towards the main stage, Wang Hou laughed loudly.

"That's also the blessing of Mr. Tian! If you have wealth, I have to chase Mr. Tian and send him off!"

"But this time, wealth and honor are not as easy as the coal mine that time! You are well-informed and should know that this year my appointment with the Xianbei Lord Ke Bineng! Liaodong! We are going to build a city on the grassland! And this city construction is the wealth and honor I want to discuss with you!"

After a while, the huge map of the desert south and north was put down from the rostrum. Looking at the densely painted river grassland swamps on it, a large group of Liaodong merchant groups couldn't help but bet on their attention, and their impression of the press conference was deepened a lot.

However, this large picture was actually mostly made by Wang Hou, and there was no trick. Nowadays, there were no satellite GPS photos. Where can he find out the terrain in such a large desert south and north? Only part of it was drawn according to the memories of Li Hu and other Xianbei people under his command, and the rest were made up and flowers.

However, the map nowadays represents strength, and I don’t plan to follow them anyway. I will fool them for a while.

It also has the style of a new product launch conference in later generations, showing the PPT car manufacturing project. At least Wang Hou put some actual products on it. As he clapped his hands, the maids put on a bunch of small bone porcelain cups, with cups of light white lotion in it. On the other end, several guards carried a few large boxes. After opening it, it was covered with yarn, which were thick and thin.

It was useless to invite Wang Hou. When they rushed to those small cups, these big merchants had already divided the cups, one by one, and they still stuttered their mouths after drinking. However, the production of bone porcelain has not kept up. No matter how high-end and low-end bone porcelain is scarce in the market, in front of Wang Hou, many people treated the cups they had finished drinking as gifts and stuffed them into their sleeves. Seeing that Wang Grandett was twitching the corners of his mouth, he had to pretend that he didn't see it.

After storing the new milk tea, the curious merchants were like the cat, and they took a ball of yarn and played with it at hand.

"What do you think?"

"The general is so elegant. After drinking milk, he didn't expect that the milk and tea could be cooked together. The flavor was particularly novel and delicious. There should be this thread! Near Wukangju, some Qiang people would combed the hair into this kind of wool, but their hair color thread was all not as gorgeous as the general's color thread!"

“Both can be sold at a price!”

Don’t say, no wonder the Mongolian leaders used sex people to manage finances. These Western Regions bosses do have a good job in doing business. As soon as Wang Hou finished speaking, a Western Regions merchant with a deep nose spoken in the mouth-wrinkling Chinese language. Wang Hou couldn’t help but feel depressed. He was planning to keep his mind secret!

But since he had answered, there was no need for Wang Hou to talk too much. He took out a leather bag from his seat, took another ball of wool in his hand, and held two things. He restrained his smile and said solemnly...

"These two things are the main purpose of my recruitment!"

“Wool and milk powder!”
