Xianyu Zhongtong really doesn’t believe it, and there will be merchants who will come to help.

In his impression, merchants are all very frugal. If merchants are willing to invest money in one thing, the reason must be that that thing can bring them several times the profit.

What profit can Ye Chang give these merchants so that they can come and help them willingly?

Xian Yu Zhongtong thought for a while. Although Yunnan also produces silk, it is just silk. Apart from that, where are there any products that are worthy of these merchants coming here?

"I think they are idiots who are fooled by Ye Chang's reputation for making money. They come here to make luck. If it were some accumulation, they would not be like this." After hesitating for a moment, Xian Yu Zhongtong said again.

"Who are there?" Yang Zhao ignored him this time.

"There are the Hu family in Chang'an Liulixing, the Shen family in Guangling rice shop, and the Han family in Suzhou Silk Shopping..."

The official took out a large number of famous assassins, all of which were famous wealthy merchants, and several of them also had semicolons in Chengdu. Even though Xian Yu Zhongtong had never dealt with him, he had heard of him.

Perhaps these people are as rich as Wang Yuanbao, but their combined influence is greater than that of the ten Wang Yuanbao, because behind them, there are often powerful people in the court and noble people in the palace, or Yu Qian is the industry of Shandong families.

"How is this possible..." Xian Yu Zhongtong murmured.

"Please come in." Although Yang Zhao was proud, he didn't dare to be too arrogant when he heard these people and thought of the forces represented by them.

After a while, everyone came in one after another, and more than a dozen wealthy businessmen gathered together to greet Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao noticed that the leader was Qin Qinshou, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise.

Qin Qinshou was Ye Chang's man who helped Ye Chang build a cabinet shop in Chengdu, which is the branch of Anton Bank. When Ye Chang first entered Chengdu, he brought him to meet Yang Zhao and asked Yang Zhao to make more convenient for him. Therefore, he did not send a name to the sect.

Yang Zhao now knows Ye Chang's subordinates quite well. Qin Qinshou was originally a former friend of Ye Chang's hometown. For many years, Ye Chang has trusted him very much. After putting forward the banking theory, he took Qin Qinshou to do it. Qin Qinshou did not disappoint. He first helped Ye Chang run the first bank in Chang'an, and then when Ye Chang returned to Liaodong to run the second one, he stayed in Luoyang to run the third one, and now he went to Chengdu to run the fourth one.

"It turns out it's Qin Qinshou... You come to see me, I wonder what advice do you have?"

In front of Yang Zhao, everyone naturally had no seats. Yang Zhao asked directly after they finished the ceremony.

"I want to raise funds to support the border. I have experienced it along the way. Please give me some convenience and order to work with the county officials of various prefectures and counties...

Qin Qinshou spoke on behalf of everyone. In fact, Ye Chang could give up this order, but he didn't want Yang Zhao to make trouble behind the scenes, so it would be better to pick everything apart.

Yang Zhao also understood his thoughts and sighed in his heart. If the two had a good relationship back then, Ye Chang would never have to be so careful, and he would never have been suspicious. Now he looks... he has a different position after all.

He had no idea at this time that it was him who pulled Ye Chang down the pond of sewage.

"Wait a minute, what are you planning? You are so kind and want to raise funds?" Xian Yu Zhongtong next to him said, "If there is a fraud, who can take this responsibility?"

"Who is this man?" Qin Qinshou said in surprise.

A local merchant who knew Xianyu Zhongtong introduced Xianyu Zhongtong's identity. Qin Qinshou heard this and held a respectful manner: "Xianyu Gong, sharing the worries of the country, is the responsibility of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Although we are merchants, we know that if there is no prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, there will be no wealth of ours, so..."

"Do you think someone looks like a fool? He was once a high-ranking official as a Jiannan Jiedu. Don't you know that officials in this world are more lying than profiteers?" Xian Yu Zhong interrupted Qin Qinshou's words without hesitation.

"Haha..." Qin Qinshou smiled awkwardly.

After all, he is not Ye Chang. If Ye Chang was here, he would have been slapped back in the face. You are such a useless bureaucrat who has no intention of serving the country, and think that the people will not have the intention of serving the country?

However, these wealthy merchants are not coming to serve the country. When Yang Zhao saw Qin Shou's expression, he knew that there was another mystery. He said slowly: "I have been in love with Ye Shiyi for many years. Qin Shou. When Ye Shiyi brought you to my mansion, he told you? What's going on? If you say he can help me, I'll help you.

"This, Langjun Ye proposed a policy called Kaizhongfa."

"Kai Zhongfa? What does this mean?"

"that is……"

Ye Chang did not say that this method needs to be kept confidential, so Qin Qinshou said that Ye Chang actually used the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty in advance. The wealthy merchants provided Ye Chang with food and supplies, and after settlement, they could exchange for Anton Bank's ticket quotations. With this ticket, they could purchase Liaodong-made goods from Liaodong at a price of 1.5% lower than the normal price. And with this ticket, there was no need to pay tariffs on entering the city when the goods were transported all over the world.

Not to mention the purchase price below 15% of the normal price, the exemption of tariffs on entering the city is enough for the wealthy merchants to flock to it.

Moreover, it is the consensus of all the wealthy merchants that Ye Chang can make money. Even if he can't eat meat, it's good to drink some soup.

After hearing Qin Qinshou finished speaking the method of opening the Chinese, Xian Yu Zhongtong's mouth could no longer be closed, but Yang Zhao couldn't help but exclaim: "Ye Shiyi still has such a wonderful method hidden."

This is indeed a wonderful method. Everyone knows that the most troublesome thing about the Tang Dynasty's border construction was not the surrounding Rongdi, but how to transport food and equipment to the border. This was a great pressure for the court. The court recruited the people to transport them, which was a labor service, which often forced the people to live in poverty. Now when transferred to the hands of merchants, it was a businessman who hired workers. Merchants had to pay remuneration. Even if the people were resentful, they would sway to the merchants first, not the court.

Sometimes, merchants would bear the public grievances on behalf of the court. They sought profit and the court's sought stability, which complemented each other.

Yang Zhao has been the Minister of Revenue for two years. The more he figured it out, the more excited he became. In this way, the court spent almost nothing, just collecting less taxes - those taxes were originally stripped off by officials at all levels, and not much could be entered into the treasury - but what he wanted to do was accomplished.

He suddenly remembered that Ye Changxiu's road from Chenliu to Pengcheng was like this. The court did not spend a penny, but he gained the benefits of this road.

I didn't understand it at first, but now I realized that Ye Chang was actually trying to build roads for this kind of Chinese method. However, at the time when the first test of this method was conducted, other merchants did not dare to get involved, so Ye Chang established the Andong Bank in the name of the Andong Chamber of Commerce to invest in this matter. After this, those wealthy merchants with a keen sense of smell naturally followed.

"How convenient do you want? As long as I can do it, I will naturally give it." Thinking of this, Yang Zhao's admiration for Ye Chang reached a peak. He knew in his heart that he was really not inferior to Ye Chang in financial management. But it doesn't matter. He just needs to be an official than Ye Chang. No matter how capable Ye Chang is, he will be sent to various places in the end to make achievements for himself?

"Yang Gong" Xian Yu Zhongtong was a little anxious.

Yang Zhao waved his hand slightly and winked at him. His eyes were a little cold. After Xian Yu Zhongtong came into contact with him, he suddenly realized.

For Yang Zhao, being in Jiannan for a long time is not a good thing. His biggest goal is to return to the center of Chang'an. Of course, there are two ways to go back. One is to wait in shame for Yang Yuhuan to catch him, and the other is to rely on his achievements with glory. Although Li Linfu intends to block Yang Zhao's opportunity to make contributions, Li Linfu can't block the fact that he assisted Ye Chang in building a city.

If you talk to yourself, then the obstacle to Yang Zhao’s journey back to Beijing is yourself. Even if the two had a close relationship before, Yang Zhao would not have thought of any old friendship. Isn’t his old friendship with Ye Chang completely used each other?

"There are several places that need help from Mr. Yang. First, we will buy a batch of grain in Chengdu and buy some axes and shovels and other tools..."

What Yang Zhao needed to do was nothing more than allowing them to buy grain and goods in Chengdu, and allowing them to hire the idle people of Jiannan Road to serve as laborers, allowing these laborers to move freely on the road from Jiannan to Yunnan. At this time, in order to prohibit refugees, the people even had to strictly control their departure from a county, not to mention that this was a place thousands of miles away.

"Even you know how to share the worries of the country, how can I be more than a mere common people?" After hearing their request, Yang Zhao said righteously: "Of course it's accurate."

He turned to Cui Yuan: "Cui Sima, come with paper and pen, wait for this official to write official documents, and ask the civil servants to pick them up, stamp them with a large seal and issue them to all places. Be sure to let officials from all over the country cooperate fully and not to be slackened at all."

Cui Yuan brought paper and pen, but while handing it to Yang Zhao, he whispered: "If they were allowed to buy grain in Chengdu, I'm afraid the rice prices in Chengdu will rise..."

"It's okay. Before we arrived, we had already purchased grain from Shannan and Jiangnan West Road. At one month at a fastest or two months at a slower time, a large amount of grain would enter Sichuan." Qin Qinshou said.

Not to mention his words, even without them, Yang Zhao would not care about the rise in grain prices in Chengdu. As long as he is not hungry, he can help him return to Chang'an earlier, even if he starves someone 100,000 to death, what's the point?

After leaving the Yang Mansion gate, all the merchants breathed a sigh of relief. The shopkeeper of the Hu family smiled and said, "When he was in Chang'an, this Yang Gong was not easy to talk to. He never thought that he would be so easy-going here. You all know the truth. Don't forget to make some money after you make a fortune."

"You said he was easy-going, it was just for Brother Qin's sake. If we were to come alone, I was afraid that even the Yang Mansion's door would be difficult to get in," someone said.

Qin Qinshou smiled and said, "I have no face. The one who really has face is Ye Langjun. Everyone knows the goods. This time, Ye Langjun's affairs are the practicality of his "Border Strategy" and "National Wealth". If it is successful, these two theories will definitely become my strategy for governing the country in the Tang Dynasty. By then, our merchants will have a lot of life. Even if we don't talk about this, just talk about the benefits that Ye Langjun has given this time, given by the court and Ye Langjun himself, which is enough for you to make a fortune. Remember, don't miss a big deal."

"No need for Brother Qin to give us instructions. We all know what we have done. Whoever misses a big deal will be cut off everyone's financial path, and it's like killing parents. At that time, Ambassador Ye will not say that in our more than ten families, we will not let that guy go."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and Qin Qinshou nodded repeatedly when he heard this, but in the end, he still seemed careless and added: "Our sixteen families were selected by Langjun Ye, and there are more than 30 families waiting to be supplemented. If any of them think they have made enough money and don't want to be with everyone, please withdraw earlier, some are coming."

Everyone laughed.

Who is so stupid will be dissatisfied with the money? What Ye Chang has paid this time is not only the policies of the Tang Dynasty courts of China and France, but also promised that if things are done, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce will be established and will be ranked alongside the Andong Chamber of Commerce. By then, these more than ten companies will be the initial shareholders.

Yang Zhao and Xian Yu Zhongtong thought that Yunnan was a wilderness, but in the eyes of these merchants, it was a treasure land, because Ye Chang had already mentioned a lot of products, in addition to ivory and rhinoceros horns, there were tea, fruits, sugars, etc. Ye Chang also said that it was not easy to mine in the Central Plains, and the imperial court set many restrictions. However, in Yunnan, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce in the future will find ways to obtain the right to mine from the court. As long as the shareholders of each company paid a small price, they could dig the mountain and get endless treasures buried in the mountains. Even the gold, silver and copper ore, Ye Chang hinted that it could be mined by everyone.

These wealthy merchants didn't know that mining and smelting could bring huge profits. Some of them were active and even began to think about privately casting copper coins. After An Lushan was divided into Pinglu Army by the Andong Governor's Office, Li Longji allowed him to set up five copper furnaces in Fanyang to cast coins in order to compensate him, so An Lushan earned a lot of money.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Qinshou summoned someone: "You ride a fast horse, travel day and night, and go to see Ambassador Ye quickly, saying that he is ready here, and he will be troubled by what he will do along the way."

The messenger turned around and left without saying a word. Not long after, he took a boat out of Chengdu City by boat, and then turned by land toward the southern Yunnan.

He was unintentionally browsing the scenery along the way, and asked Ye Chang to sweep away the blessings of the barbarian thieves, but he did not encounter any major danger. He was surprised when he left the mountains and entered the vicinity of southern Yunnan.

I saw a road that was built. Although it was only twenty miles away, only five feet wide, it was just a loess road, but it was much flat and convenient than a mountain road. The jungle shrubs and weeds on both sides of the road were burned black, revealing the soil below, and some people were digging trenches and diverting water.

"Depending on the situation, Ambassador Ye is conducting military camps, but he has made such a big move in less than twenty days after he took over the southern Yunnan ze?

But he didn't know that Ye Chang had only completed the project about half a mile on both sides of the road. After all, he had 30,000 soldiers in his hand. Even if he only used 10,000 of them and set a fire for two miles a day, it would be enough to clear out both sides of the road. The difficulty of reclamation before was just a small number of people. As long as there were enough people and the hearts of the people were united, what was this the Han people who worked diligently?
