Chapter 433: Changes in History
Chapter 433 Changes in History
It is easy to find the office of the United Trading Company, and everyone knows it. You don’t even need to ask people. You can see the two-story square building at a glance. When you come downstairs, get off at the door, and immediately a servant comes forward to greet you, very polite. You don’t even ask who you are, and ask with a smile: “Customer comes here to do business? Or is he looking for someone?”
The Hong Madam took out Chen Xie's seal and handed it to the servant and said, "This, take it to the head of the here."
The servant didn't say anything and asked someone to serve Hong Niang's horse. After asking her to sit down to serve tea, she went in and report. Hong Niang sat there and looked around. This was the first time he had come to such a place. Everyone had curiosity. After a while, a middle-aged man hurried out from inside. He walked to Hong Niang and said respectfully: "Qin Ke, the shopkeeper of the Kaifeng Office of the United Business Company, did not know that his mistress had arrived and had missed him. I hope he would forgive him for his crime."
It’s not a fault for Mr. Qin. The seal thrown by Chen Xie is very good + no + wrong + novel + 3w. + +. To put it bluntly, this seal appears on the territory of every joint business, which is the same as the highest instruction. Those who can appear with a seal are not as good as the mistress. Even the mistress may not be able to take out this seal. When you are lucky, Mr. Qin will only see this thing once or twice a year. It’s still Chen Xie who thinks it’s troublesome. At the end of the year, he will throw a seal directly to Liu Qing and ask him to stamp it. When Mr. Qin saw it once or twice.
The Hongmao was stupid and thought to herself, why did she become the mistress? But she didn't know how to explain, so she could only continue to say with a tense sentence: "I need some carriages and horses and food. Can you do it well?"
Manager Qin smiled and said, "In Kaifeng, the mistress spoke. Except for the royal palace and the government office, other subordinates can get you."
The Hongmao was secretly surprised when she heard this, and thought that this bastard's subordinate really dared to say it. She immediately sneered: "I want 20,000 kilograms of fried noodles, a bag of every ten kilograms, and another 200 trucks. The corresponding animals are prepared. When can I get it?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper Qin pondered for a moment and said, "My mistress, please ask me. Where can I send the things? Do I need someone to escort it?"
The Hongniang was speechless when she heard this, and thought to herself, "You have everything and the staff, and I'll take the way back."
Manager Qin said: "In this way, it will take only three days. My mistress will stay here first. I will go and handle it now."
Chen Xie didn't know that he had completely changed the life trajectory of Hongniang. At this time, he had to work hard in Shenyang City. The wind and snow stopped, but the temperature unexpectedly rebounded quickly. It was early February. This kind of thing was not strange. The temperature rebounded, and the trouble caused was quite a lot of. The road after the snow was muddy, which caused considerable difficulties to the army's actions. Especially the logistics pressure suddenly increased.
Another trouble is the mangrove scattered outside. If these people want to survive, they are occupied by their homes, and they can only rob those who have no food. One or two people will rob them, which will die. So, gangs of robbers of all sizes appeared, and frequently attacked the transport convoys.
These robber teams who aim to survive use guerrilla tactics, which is really annoying. In three days, they attacked the transport team more than 30 times, an average of more than ten times a day. Although there are no cases of transport teams being robbed, this kind of thing is still very annoying.
The rear was unstable, and it was difficult for the front to continue to launch an offensive. Chen Xie ordered He Xian's cavalry to immediately dispatch and sweep the transportation routes. At the same time, he asked to speed up the laying speed of the tracks and increase the stations along the roads. These things have not yet come to an end, and Chen Xie has to meet Zu Dashou again. This guy has never had a clear idea in his mind, hoping to reach an oral agreement with Chen Xie and define a sphere of influence so as to plan for future survival.
Zu Dashou set out from Guangning, walked through a section of grassland, and came to Chenyang. The journey was very easy. The Mongolians on the grassland were not as arrogant as before, and they all hid far away.
When he saw Chen Xie, Zu Dashou spoke very directly: "Sihua, the overall situation in Liaodong has been settled, and it will be peaceful for three or five years at most. What should we do in the future? Please teach me." This was very polite. In fact, Zu Dashou was anxious at this time, but he refused to go to the capital many times. In the second year, he took the Guanning army away, and these old accounts have not been settled. I would be worried about the settlement of the accounts after the autumn.
Chen Xie had a vain case, and when he saw him, he said simply: "I plan to report to Your Majesty that the Mongolian tribes have always been difficult to train. To completely solve this problem, you have to build cities and garrison troops on the grasslands, start border trade, and use interests as bait. You can assimilate within fifty years." As he said that, Chen Xie took out a map and pointed to a location above and said: "Tongliao, the geographical location is extremely important. When our army advances north, your troops can take this as the foundation."
Zu Dashou's face became very ugly. This place looked too biased and was not a good monk's place. Chen Xie knew what he was thinking, so he asked Wu Yunna to bring a coat and put it on the table and said, "Look at this."
Zu Dashou was not sure, so he reached out to wipe it. It was made of wool. Unexpectedly, wool was not tied. It is definitely not possible to use wool directly to weave cloth. If you can tie your body, your skin is full of red dots. Chen Xie smiled and said, "Put it on and take a look."
After Zu Dashou put it on, he really felt comfortable to pick it up. It looked a bit strange and was a clothing specialized in Dengzhouying. It was very warm and was not as bloated as the cotton coat in Dengzhouying.
Chen Xie said again: "In the future, you have to rely on this thing to do business with the Mongols. This is made of wool. The sheep raised by the Mongols will be sold to you in exchange for the daily necessities they need. Do you think that with such a thing, the Mongolians can get the daily necessities they want by shearing the wool. If they can't fight in war, will they still come to grab it?"
Zu Dashou shook his head subconsciously. He didn't know what "sheep eat people". He never thought about how vicious Chen Xie's move was. Chen Xie continued: "I plan to open another wool spinning factory in Shenyang, and the wool spinning products I made to sell to the Thai people can get a lot of silver. The transportation cost is almost negligible if you go by sea. A ship of wool spinning products can probably be exchanged for half the weight of silver. Do you think this transaction can be done?"
Zu Dashou's breathing was instantly rapid, and his mind was banging. These wools were nothing that were thrown away by waste in the Mongolians. Now, the waste can be exchanged for tea, salt, iron, and food. The Mongolians should not go crazy? What else can they fight? If you have this thing, you can let the Mongolians behave like sheep.
Zu Dashou didn't think so deeply, and Chen Xie would not tell him that the Mongols would raise sheep in the future. One day Chen Xie would be unhappy and would not collect wool. What is the consequence? This is called the lifeblood of the economy, and the Mongols would have to be obedient at that time. Ten or twenty years later, this generation of people who like to be robbers are dead and old. Can the next generation still expect them to rob with a knife?
"My Qing Dynasty" made a La La, and the Mongols were ruined. That thing cannot be eaten, so it is not as realistic as wool? La La, Chen Xie was also preparing to play this thing. This is called a two-pronged approach. But it is not now, and it is not the time for the time being.
"Sihua, what do you mean? Will everyone cooperate with this business in the future?" Zu Dashou never thought about his family eating alone, and he didn't have the intention to do so. Chen Xie was very satisfied with giving him some soup. There were so many people and sheep on the grassland, and he had a place to settle down. If he was not satisfied, he would take his own life.
"After entering Tongliao, we should first build roads, build cities, and buy and sell, and establish a joint-stock company. Guanning Army accounts for 30% of the shares, Dengzhou Camp accounts for 30% of the shares, and the remaining 40% is of other use. The responsibility of Guanning Army is to protect this place and protect the safety of the entire transportation line. There are some people on both sides of the business, so is it okay?"
There is actually no need for Chen Xie to be so polite. There are many ways to kill the Guanning Army. The problem is that it is always a very troublesome to deal with such things. The Guanning Army will be difficult to pose a threat to Chen Xie in the future. Since that is the case, why not use them to do things? It is better to find someone else to come out of the box? Zu Dashou is a warlord, not those civil servants. It is better to deal with him simply. As long as we cooperate with each other, we can gain the fastest speed outside the pass. Besides, in this year, the north has never been the focus of Chen Xie, and the south is where Chen Xie is going to grab. The sea is the future!
What's wrong with giving Zu Dashou any benefit can make people feel at ease and work hard?
Zu Dashou whispered: "Sihua, can you tell me, who will give the remaining 40%?" Chen Xie smiled and said: "What can I say about this? 20% is used to attract investment, and 20% is reserved for Your Majesty. With these 20% of the profits are hundreds of thousands every year, Your Majesty will not make things difficult for you and me."
Zu Dashou's bones were relaxed all over. Is love aroused the emperor? He didn't know that it was not the first time Chen Xie had used this trick. In the years, wearing a royal hat would be less troublesome in everything.
After sending off Zu Dashou who was satisfied and returned, Chen Xie fell into new confusion. History has been changed beyond recognition during this period of time. "My Qing Dynasty" was a grasshopper after autumn, and it took a few days to jump around. The chaos in the Central Plains was without any restraint outside the border. Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting joined forces to destroy them sooner or later. The Songjin War in history ruined the last bit of field power of the Ming army, which led to the thieves becoming bigger. Otherwise, there would be nothing Li Zicheng would have done.
History has been changed. Chen Xie unexpectedly did not think about how to change the future. There is only one general direction, one step at a time. In fact, aren’t the great men in history moving forward through exploration? Chen Xie has made a plug-in and is naturally more confident and able to guide the Ming Dynasty on a completely different path. (To be continued...)
