Chapter 936: Annexation
"Mercenary company, what is this?"
Early in the morning, a prominent headline in the Qingzhou Daily caught the minds of businessmen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the surrender of the Wa State and the influx of industrial products from the Great Yu State into the Wa State, they have not been so excited for a while.
"Mercenaries, soldiers who fight for money, trained mercenaries will be able to be hired by anyone, even participate in wars for good rewards, from today, merchants will be able to hire these special soldiers to protect their trade overseas, and even hire them to participate in wars for commercial gain, the only taboo is that mercenaries and their employers must not harm the interests of the Great Yu State, otherwise they will be considered traitors......"
In a shop on the commercial street, Dai Zixing supervised his men to wash the bicycles they bought yesterday while reading the newspaper that had just been delivered.
With the popularization of newspapers, all newspapers in Qingzhou now have the business of subscribing to newspapers, and as long as they pay 20 silver dragons a month, they can read a month's worth of newspapers.
This small amount of money is naturally nothing to a big businessman like Dai Zixing, and for him, it is really cost-effective to spend only twenty silver dragons to learn about the important events of the Great Yu Kingdom.
"It's a pity, this mercenary company probably won't be able to intervene in our turn." After reading the newspaper, Dai Zixing picked up a cup of tea and drank it.
He is surrounded by his nephew Dai Hui, since his career in Qingzhou, the old family has gone to Qingzhou to join him, which made him quickly from an inconspicuous figure in the family to the most powerful person in the family.
"Why? Now the richest person in Qingzhou City, except for the Ding family, isn't it our Dai family? As for this Zhu Wuliu, he is almost hot. Dai Hui looked like he was looking at the world.
"Hui'er, don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will make outsiders laugh out of their big teeth, whether it is the Ding family or the Dai family in Qingzhou, it is just a small handful, this is really rich is the royal relatives who do business with the Chamber of Commerce, since the Cao family had an accident, the emperor has obviously relaxed the control of the royal family, and it seems to have the intention of balancing the power of private businessmen, so this mercenary company cannot take our turn at all, it will only be a certain imperial relative." Dai Zixing saw everything clearly.
Dai Hui sighed deeply, and he said angrily: "If the Merchant Council wins, will our Great Yu Kingdom be a different kind of thing?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Dai Zixing immediately looked nervous, looked left and right, and after finding that there was no one nearby, he said angrily: "Hui'er, if you are still so open-mouthed, you will go back to Chang'an next time, is this what you should say?" Now that the Great Chongqing Kingdom is thriving, it is not the turn of this kind of crooked heresy to run rampant, and today my uncle will tell you that if the Merchant Council wins, the Great Chongqing Kingdom will be completely ruined. “
Dai Hui's forehead was sweating, and he was also quick to speak, but when he came back to his senses, he was already soaked with cold sweat behind his back.
"Uncle, it's the child's mistake, uncle, don't drive me back to Chang'an, I won't dare next time." Dai Hui hurriedly said.
Dai Zixing's anger eased slightly, and he recalled that he had left his hometown and came to Qingzhou to make a living, and at that time he was running for the wisdom and martial arts of today's saints.
In fact, it was also the original choice that was made long ago and his current position in Qingzhou, earning the first batch of silver from casting cement pipes, and then receiving a rich report in supporting the Northern Expedition, since then, he has the capital to build factories everywhere to do business.
It can be said that his brilliance is due to the prosperity of Qingzhou.
"Merchants seek profits, but business also has a way, commerce has no borders, but merchants have their own monarchs, if there is no strong country, no matter how much silver we make, it will eventually become someone else's pocket, understand?" Dai Zixing lectured.
"Yes, uncle, nephew remembered." Dai Hui said respectfully.
When the two were talking, a voice suddenly came, "What Brother Dai said is extremely true, the emperor has his own considerations about the matter of this mercenary company, and if he does not hand it over to you and me, these businessmen are naturally for the long-term peace and stability of the Great Yu Kingdom, some of this business can be done, and some cannot be done, this is the way of business." ”
Hearing this voice, Dai Zixing breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, "Okay, you Ding Wu, you have been eavesdropping." ”
The person who came was Ding Wu, and he was puzzled: "I just passed by, but I just felt Brother Dai's high argument and spoke up." “
Dai Zixing smiled, "It doesn't matter if you listen to it, the emperor has always understood my Dai Mou's personality, and he will not be indiscriminate." ”
Ding Wu shook his head, he really didn't hear Dai Hui's rebellious words, he said: "I'm too lazy to listen to what you say, but this time I'm here for the business of the Wa Kingdom." ”
Dai Zixing's eyes lit up, and he said, "Could it be that your business has also been frustrated." “
"That's right, although Yamada Nobunaga has surrendered now, the territory of the Wa Kingdom is not calm now, the riots have not subsided, and only a few ports are safe, so this time the mercenary company came out at the right time, I want to hire a team of mercenaries with Brother Dai and let them protect our caravan in the Wa Kingdom."
"That's fine." Dai Zixing nodded slightly, as the so-called risk and profit are the same, now if you want to seize the Japanese market, you must use some extraordinary means.
……
When Qingzhou was in trouble because of mercenaries, Zhu Sansi was not idle, and in the vast snowfield, he and two Daur people arrived at a tribe located in the mountains and forests after a day's trek.
The tribe numbered only a thousand people, living in tents made of animal skins, and all men, women, and children wore fur clothes, and their faces were dark and thin.
When he came, Zhu Sansi had already learned that this middle-aged Daur was called Guda, and the tribe he led them to this time was officially the tribe where the Daur head people were located.
"General, come out."
Upon reaching the outskirts of the tribe, the Daur soldiers of the tribe kept them out of the tribe with bows and arrows and long hairs, and they waited for communication between Guda and the chief.
If all goes well, the Daurs will be attached to the Great Chongqing State and become the border people of the Great Chongqing State, and they will also be given a supply line.
"Master Zhu, this is our Phuket head, he said that as long as you are allied with us by blood, we will believe you." Guda Masase said.
Gao Yingfeng pursed his lips, and just wanted to express his disdain for this tribe when he was stopped by Zhu Sansi.
The Daur people, though small in number, are familiar with the area, and they need someone to help them steadily.
So, he said, "Of course, you can use the blood of the enemy as a witness." ”
Anyway, he had Vasily brought over.
Seeing Vasily, the head of Daur showed a satisfied look, he drew his short knife and suddenly slashed Vasily in the arm.
Then he asked his people to fetch two bowls of wine and dripped Vasily's blood into the wine.
Zhu Sansi served another bowl, and the two of them drank the wine at the same time.
