Su Can once mentioned the hegemony of money in his book "On Money", and if he could do this, he would be able to surrender without a fight. But in Qin Feng's opinion, if you want to do this, you must first have the unparalleled force as the backing before you can make the trip, otherwise, it is just a talk on paper and a castle in the air.www.biquge.info

This time, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Qin State on the battlefield, and the Qin State's domestic economic fatigue and internal affairs were chaotic, which was a good opportunity to test this theory, so there were agreements such as the Ming currency stipulated in the armistice agreement that the Ming currency could circulate freely in the Qin State, and the Ming State could open banks in the Qin State.

These exported currencies are not copper coins and other physical goods, but paper money, which can be very profitable. If the Ming banknotes became the mainstream currency of the Qin State, it would make the Ming State obtain incomparably huge benefits, both economically and politically.

"Since the domestic currency reform has achieved initial results and has begun to stabilize, then Su Can, you will focus on how to open up the territory of Qin." Qin Feng looked at each other happily and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

His eyes turned to Wang Yueyao again, "Wang Caishen, Su Shangshu has been sighing just now, do you have any good news for me?" ”

Wang Yueyao smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, because of the war, almost all of our commercial activities with the Qi State have tended to come to a standstill, and the losses are huge. Fortunately, because we have Izumo County and opened up the land passage with Chu State, in the past two years, we have been working hard to open up the market of Chu State, compared to Qi State, the purchasing power of ordinary people of Chu is stronger, and several of our main money-making goods are sold surprisingly well in Chu State. Profiteering products such as perfume and face mask are only things that only high-ranking officials and wealthy people can afford in Qi State, and in Chu State, middle-level people are actually very interested in this. ”

"I remember you said before that these things are huge profits, so you have been using hunger marketing, always keeping the market in a state of shortage to maintain the highest price, if you also open up sales in the face of middle-income people in Chu State, your strategy will not apply." Qin Feng Dao. "But the sales have gone up, and it's also good. At least we can solve more demographic changes in our country. And the production of perfume, mask or something, and it doesn't take much strong labor, and the average old and weak women and children can also produce it, which is also good. ”

"Your Majesty, I don't want to give up high profits." Wang Yueyao shook her head and said: "The Commercial Bureau has discussed this phenomenon for several days and decided to classify these products. In the past, the old brand of Taipingfang would not reduce the price, and even increased the price. We will be launching a number of products specifically for these middle-income families. ”

"If you have a cheap one, will people still use the expensive one?" Qin Feng asked with some confusion.

"Of course it will." It was Su Kairong who answered Qin Feng, "Your Majesty, let's take the wine sold in heaven and earth, in fact, compared to the wine sold outside, the quality is not much better, but the price is several times higher. ”

Wang Yueyao said with a smile: "Su Hubu is right, among those high-ranking officials and rich people, there is a saying that is their mentality, only buy expensive, not the right one." Otherwise, I can't afford to lose this face! ”

Qin Feng coughed a few times, when it came to doing business, he didn't have such a shrewd mind.

"Separating the ranks and widening the gap satisfies the vanity of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and can open the circle of middle-income with the largest number of people. Now the workshop under our commercial department is busy promoting in Chu State, and it is estimated that by the end of the year, the income will explode. Wang Yueyao said.

"Yueyao has worked hard, the profits created by the Department of Commerce for Daming in a year are worth the taxes of several counties, over the years, if it weren't for you, the God of Wealth, our Daming would never have achieved today." Qin Feng gave Wang Yueyao a thumbs up.

"Your Majesty, the Su Hu Department can only be regarded as the steward of our Daming, and the Lord Wang is the real God of Wealth of the Daming." Quan Yun quipped: "When Lord Wang and Doctor Shu get married, Your Majesty will have to send a congratulatory gift." The two of them, one doctor and one businessman, are indispensable figures for my Ming Dynasty. ”

"Of course!" Qin Feng said briskly: "When they want, I will give it." Shousuke, and everyone here, you can't be stingy! ”

made Wang Yueyao's face flushed, but she was not the kind of little woman in the boudoir, but a big man who was used to seeing the scene, and after a short period of embarrassment, she collected her mind, stared at everyone, and knocked on the tea cup on the coffee table dissatisfied, jingling. "Ladies and gentlemen, now we are talking about the country's financial plans, so let's not deviate. Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report to you. ”

"Say, what kind of money-making business have you discovered?" Anyway, as long as Wang Yueyao said that there was something, most of them would have come up with a way to make money.

"Your Majesty, this time I went to Izumo County, but I met an interesting businessman there, to put it mildly, this person was not worth mentioning in front of him two years ago, but in just two years, his net worth has skyrocketed, and he is enough to squeeze me into the list of the richest people in the Ming Dynasty." Wang Yueyao said.

"You're talking about Geng Shrewd?" Su Kairong's reaction was quick, and it was obvious that this Hubu Shangshu had also noticed this figure.

"Geng, though, is shrewd." Wang Yueyao nodded and said, "The son of the county guard of Izumo County." ”

As soon as he heard that this Geng Jingming was the son of Izumo County's guard Geng's future, Qin Feng's brows immediately furrowed, Izumo County used to be a three-way area, but after it was assigned to the Ming Kingdom, Qin Feng took a fancy to the hub status of the four countries there, and intended to make it a commercial center connecting the four countries. In the past few years, under Geng Qiancheng's governance, it has indeed done well, and the status of the commercial trading center of the four countries has begun to take a little rudimentary form and has begun to slowly prosper.

And because of an order from Min Ruoxi in Izumo County at that time, the deterrent effect of the Kyokan set up by the heads of thousands of bandits outside the county town, this area that used to be the most chaotic has now become the area with the best security.

"Geng Jingming is Geng Qiancheng's son, is he taking advantage of his father's position of power in Izumo County?" Qin Feng's voice was a little low. Since ancient times, the quickest way to make a fortune is through collusion between officials and businessmen. Geng Jingming can make a fortune within two years, and Qin Feng can't help but wonder if there is something going on inside.

Before Wang Yueyao could speak, Quan Yun shook his head first: "Your Majesty, whether it is the Ministry of Officials or the Eagle's Nest, the information fed back says that this Geng Qiancheng is a fairly honest official, and he has a good reputation in Izumo County. ”

"Then how did this Geng Jingming get rich?" Qin Feng was a little incomprehensible.

Wang Yueyao stood up and turned around in front of Qin Feng, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the material of this dress on my body?" ”

Wang Yueyao herself is a very beautiful woman, today's discussion is not a formal court meeting, she did not wear an official uniform, but dressed in civilian clothes, a lake-blue dress embroidered with elegant lotus flowers, under the reflection of the sun outside the window, like water waves. This is the best Jiangnan material and embroidery, Qin Feng knows that this dress is worth a lot.

"You mean, Geng is shrewd enough to run the silk of the Chu State." Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, although Geng Jingming said that he can't monopolize this industry, he has the pricing power of silk in my Daming. Now the price of Chu silk in my Ming Dynasty has dropped sharply, and ordinary people can afford to wear it. Wang Yueyao said, "Your Majesty, do you know how he did this?" ”

"Lord Wang, don't sell it." Su Kairong said.

"Geng Qiancheng didn't have much money, when Geng Jingming went to Yunjun, it was only five thousand taels of silver. This amount of money is really not worth mentioning compared to the expensive silk in our country. But he used a very fresh method to gather his capital. ”

"What method did he use?"

"He set up an Izumo embroidery workshop, and he used the 5,000 taels as a book, but he only owned 20% of the shares." Wang Yueyao said: "The rest of the share capital, he openly sells it." ”

"Twenty percent of the share capital? So how does he control this Izumo embroidery workshop? Qin Feng said suspiciously. There are many businesses under the Commercial Department that adopt the shareholding system, but basically the Commercial Department controls the majority of the shares in order to control the control, which Geng is shrewd and only 20% of the share capital, if the business is big, it is easy for others to swallow him Jianjin, but obviously, this is not the case.

"There are conditions to buy Geng Jingming's shares, because there is only one right to these shares, and that is dividends." Wang Yueyao said with a smile: "No matter how many such shares you take, you have no right to participate in business and decision-making." ”

"Someone buys this too?" Qin Feng said strangely.

"Yes!" Wang Yueyao smiled: "This person only has the capital of 5,000 taels of silver, but he lied to the outside world that he has 50,000 taels, and then sells the remaining eighty percent of the share capital publicly, one tael of silver per share, and ten shares can be sold." ”

"He's sold out?"

"Sold out. Here, I have to say that there are many people who are looking at Geng Qiancheng, the county guard, anyway, it doesn't matter if you buy a little, even if you lose it, there is not much money. And quite a lot of people think that he is the son of the county guard, how can he lose money, and this place in Izumo County, the original commercial climate is very deep, and Izumo County used to be such a place for trading, but at that time, it was just a transaction that did not see the light. Wang Yueyao said with a smile: "In a short period of time, he gathered hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and then he took this silver and went to the Chu State." And this time, we have only been able to get Izumo-gun for only three months. ”

"This person's vision is also very powerful." Qin Feng sighed: "In this world, there are really countless smart people. ”

"Your Majesty, if that's all there is to it, this person doesn't deserve my attention!" Wang Yueyao shook her head, "The latter ones are even more brilliant." ”
