In the Chamber of Commerce, the businessmen's faces turned red with excitement because of Xiao Ming's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the map unfolded in front of them, they stood up one by one, their eyes greedily gazing at the vast land of Youzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the rules set by this king and you at the beginning, now you can get three times the value of pasture in Youzhou, and such a high-quality horse breeding land is the first in Dayu Kingdom."

Xiao Ming said as he pointed to the map.

The merchants nodded, having learned that they were rewarded with pasture, and that they could only make a living by herding herding on the pasture.

They were not disappointed by this, on the contrary, they were looking forward to it, because they could resell the pasture to others even if they did not run it themselves.

This horse raising is a very profitable business, and a large number of businessmen will rush to do it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness is really gold."

Cao Zhengyang's face was happy, his eyes had already patrolled the Youzhou grassland, and he already had his own horse breeding plan.

"Yes, His Royal Highness's words really make me admire, if this is King Yong, he must have repented at this time."

"It's not, not to mention King Yong, a few of these other vassal kings treat us merchants as human beings."

"Only His Highness values us businessmen so much, and we must do our part for His Highness."

“……”

After Cao Zhengyang, the businessmen flattered Xiao Ming one after another.

Xiao Ming smiled, but he didn't care about the flattery of the merchants, the merchants chased profits, and now they gave them benefits, and they naturally showed their loyalty one by one.

If he didn't give them benefits this time, he would probably be scolding his mother behind his back at this time, but although he understands the temperament of businessmen, he still has to be good at using this capital monster to carry Qingzhou forward.

So he said: "Thank you for your praise, this king is just fulfilling his promise, now you should choose the pasture you need, of course, if you dislike your own pasture, this king can sell you some more pasture." ”

Hearing this, the merchants became even more excited, and some merchants who contributed little money were worried that the pasture they could get was a little small, and now this problem was solved at once.

They no longer hesitated, and one by one they began to circle the huge map of Youzhou with their pens.

In a few moments, a hundred and three squares appeared on the map.

At this time, Xiao Ming glanced at the map, the location of these grasslands was mainly concentrated in the vicinity of Cangzhou and Youzhou, and some were still near Shanhaiguan.

These merchants were very shrewd, and the closer they got to the city, the safer their pastures became.

Looking at the square area on the map, Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to take a ruler and start measuring.

This map was drawn according to the scale, and the merchants had already understood it before, and now Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to write down the sizes drawn by the merchants and replace them with the actual size.

Then, according to the actual amount of support for the Northern Expedition by the merchants, the excess will be refunded and the deficiency will be compensated.

Soon, Li Kaiyuan handed over the data to Xiao Ming.

"Cao Zhengyang, the taste of your Cao family is really big, you draw such a large area, you have a lot of silver to make up." Xiao Ming said thickly when he saw Cao Zhengyang's data.

In terms of data, Cao Zhengyang drew a grassland with a length of sixty miles and a width of sixty miles, and his 100,000 taels of silver was only enough for a grassland with a length of ten miles and a width of ten miles.

"Your Highness, what can you do with a ten-mile-long and wide grassland? Since the sound of raising horses, it is naturally better to have more and the better, and our Cao family also wants to provide His Royal Highness with a steady stream of war horses, cattle and sheep in the future. Cao Zhengyang's face was full of smiles.

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart, this Cao family is really amazingly wealthy.

Since Cao Zhengyang settled in Qingzhou, the Cao family has shown its strong financial resources everywhere in Qingzhou, and he can at least be sure that he really doesn't have the Cao family's money.

And it's not even a little bit worse.

He suddenly remembered Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang was building the city wall of Nanjing, Shen Wansan was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang when he showed his wealth everywhere.

If this is a different person, I am afraid that at this time, I will also fight the idea of the Cao family, this sheep is too fat, no wonder the king of Chu has sharpened his knife.

Although Xiao Ming is also a little envious and jealous of the Cao family's strong financial resources, his main plan now is to attract the capital gang leader Qingzhou to become rich.

And the Cao family, a capital monster, came at the right time, so not only can he not scare the Cao family away, but he also has to lock it up in Qingzhou step by step to lay eggs for himself.

So he smiled and said: "Okay, this king really didn't misunderstand your Cao family, in this way, this king will give you a hundred miles of long and wide grassland, but this king wants to cooperate with you with the remaining grassland, which means that in the future, the profit of the grassland will be divided into forty percent, what do you think?" ”

Cao Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, reacted, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Cao Mou is asking for it, with His Highness's support, our Cao family can operate this grassland with peace of mind."

Xiao Ming nodded and said to Li Kaiyuan: "You can discuss this matter with the Cao family and settle this matter." ”

Li Kaiyuan understood, smiled and nodded, how could Xiao Ming feel at ease with such a big arm of the Cao family? At this time, a cooperation also has the meaning of monitoring the Cao family.

After all, war horses are an extremely serious matter, and the lack of horses in the south is something that everyone knows, and a batch of war horses transported from the grassland to the fief of the king of Chu is enough to triple the price.

This kind of huge profit is enough to make many smugglers take risks, so Xiao Ming naturally wants to control the concubine of the war horse, after all, this is a strategic resource.

In addition to his own ten-kilometer long and wide area, Cao Zhengyang paid another 150 taels of silver to buy the remaining fifty miles of pasture.

Then Xiao Ming looked at other people's data, but what made Xiao Ming wonder was that in the end, the grassland was basically controlled by three people.

Because some businessmen got their own small pastures and sold them directly to Ding Wu, Cao Zhengyang and Dai Zixing.

The overall result was that Cao Zhengyang won a large area of grassland in Cangzhou, Ding Wu won a large area of grassland in Youzhou, and Dai Zixing obtained a large area of grassland in Shanhaiguan, forming a three-legged situation.

I have to say that this ending made Xiao Ming very depressed, and the game of big fish eating small fish in capital was staged in front of him.

But there is no way, the ultimate goal of capital is to go to monopoly, but he will not give them this opportunity, because the biggest grassland is still Xiao Ming's own.

This grassland is controlled by the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

In order to prevent the future of capital from becoming bigger, he will not give up the piece of state-owned capital.

After dividing the grassland, he earned two million taels of silver from Cao Zhengyang, Ding Wu, and Dai Zixing to purchase the grassland.
