Chapter 66: Fiefdom Construction

It needs to be emphasized that this otherworld of Su Zesuo is not a century-level society, but a high-level magic society, and on the whole, it is not backward than the modern earth. Some aspects, such as space research and energy utilization, are far beyond the imagination of their counterparts on Earth.

Therefore, the aristocracy here is not like the aristocracy of the Earth Century, whose life circle is limited to manors and castles, and lives an extremely closed and conservative life. The nobles of the other world also know that they can't make a lot of money just by digging in the soil, and they still have to look at industry and commerce to make money. All the aristocrats who have a little way to start an industry do not want to start an industry. Its role in realizing these aristocratic fiefdoms is mainly to serve as a status symbol and inherit traditional customs.

As we all know, the bones of the Chinese people are full of thirst for land, and this habit, which is almost rooted in genes, has not been diminished by half with the relocation to another world. Therefore, here in the Han Dynasty, a nobleman without a fief is simply unthinkable. Even if a nobleman's income is only a small part of the agriculture of the fief, it will definitely not be a reason to give up the fief.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, fiefdoms, the nobles are the bosses, as long as they do not violate the imperial constitution and religious conventions, he can play as he wants. For example, open a "celestial camp" and set up a Lori farm...... And so on, as long as you are not afraid of being looked down upon, not afraid of being watched, not afraid of a bad reputation, not afraid of no future...... Theoretically, any absurd and unscrupulous thing can be done by the noble lords.

However, the main purpose of the several factories that Su Ze is now planning to set up is not to make money. Their main role is to launder money, and secondly, to launder some of the earth's goods. Again, it's just to make something for yourself.

As long as there is a hardware factory, it is only used for basic purposes, even if it is to make guns, cannons, airplanes, and tanks...... It's all possible, as long as you have the ability, this is the privilege of the nobility.

"Proprietor, the matter of the chamber of commerce in the capital area has been resolved, and the commerce bureau of my county town has registered a chamber of commerce for you. Your title is Doctor, so the Chamber of Commerce's starting reputation level is Seventh Class ......," another steward, Huang Chuhan, reported.

The Han Empire was a hierarchical society, and commercial behavior was no exception, and the Chamber of Commerce was divided into ten classes, which represented the authority to trade goods. The first class is high, they trade with high priority, as well as the right to trade a variety of goods without restrictions. Except for a very few areas that must never be touched, they can buy and sell anything. Of course, there are few such chambers of commerce in the country.

The tenth class is low, not only has a high transaction volume limit, but also the transaction is also very crowded, and the priority is low.

Civilians with Han nationality apply to open a chamber of commerce, and the starting level is first. If there is a knighthood of "Shijun", the starting rank is the eighth rank. Su Xue is an official doctor, and his starting level is the seventh rank.

The level of the Chamber of Commerce can be promoted, mainly related to the establishment of the years, transaction amount, the number of taxes, credit evaluation and other factors, these conditions are reviewed once a year, scored by a special agency, and those who meet the standards can be upgraded. But if a chamber of commerce fails to achieve the low score of its own level for two consecutive years, it will be demoted.

"It's only the seventh class, can something like Bliss be traded?" Su Xue asked a little depressed.

Huang Chuhan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Blission, this kind of special commodity, at least the fifth-class chamber of commerce, can have low trading qualifications......

This thing is actually the modern exhibition model of "Wushi San" that appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Compared to its predecessors, it is more potent, more profitable, more technical, and has hidden side effects......

That's right, according to the words of the modern Earth, this is - drugs!

There are countless types of commodities that Dahan can trade at present, but its drug trade is the black trade that is currently making money.

Of course, these things are strictly forbidden internally, and the control is very strict, except for the special needs of medical care and other fields, the private sector is absolutely not allowed to trade. The Han Dynasty's policy on drugs is very similar to that of the United Kingdom, that is, the policy of "strictly prohibiting internal and encouraging external".

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the matter of "exporting drugs to the indigenous barbarians" is a strategic plan jointly made by the Han and the elves, a strategic plan mainly aimed at the yellow-headed barbarians, with extremely sinister intentions.

But the countrymen and the elves are the kind of people who are more respectful, and although the upper echelons are very satisfied with this plan, they don't want to dirty their own people. So the government assigned the task to those chambers of commerce, let these non-governmental chambers of commerce to charge, and when the chambers of commerce made money, the government would collect taxes, which could be said to be the best of both worlds.

But in fact, for this operation, the enthusiasm of the elven merchants is much higher than that of the big man, and their behavior is explicit. The chamber of commerce on the Han side has to put on a vest to some extent, such as through the barbarian merchants to change hands, and most of them are mainly batches. But those long-eared people don't even want vests, and go directly to the battle in person. They also set up "direct sales points" in the Huangtou barbarian territory, which is similar to a drug tobacco store.

After Su Xue learned about these things, he couldn't help but have a great change in his impression of the elves. Damn, these are the traditional elegance and kindness, this is clearly a stripped dark elf......

Su Ze thought of this business, not how much money he wanted to make through this. The main reason is that the capital turnover of this industry is fast, the money laundering is fast, and the quantity is large.

Su Xue has always wanted to be addicted to "drug dealers" and dump drugs on hostile forces, what a loving thing it is. However, the current level of the Chamber of Commerce is not enough, and there is no way to do it.

Su Xue, who couldn't be a drug dealer, couldn't help but ask regretfully: "So, what can the seventh-class chamber of commerce operate?"

"Proprietor, this is the "List of Permissions for Imperial Commodities", which indicates the current information such as the applicable permissions and quantity restrictions of each commodity......" Huang Chuhan immediately handed over a thick book.

Su Ze took it and flipped through it, and sure enough, it can be seen from the table of contents above. The things that the Han can trade are simply all-encompassing, in addition to some normal types of trade, including arms, drugs, alien slaves, and other gray and black trades.

However, the more gray and black transactions there are, the higher the permissions requested. If you want to do normal business, the Seventh Class Chamber of Commerce is enough, and almost all civilian materials can be traded. It also includes some low-level weapons and quasi-weapons.

The book was very thick, and Su Xue just glanced at it a few times and put it aside.

He said to Huang Chuhan: "Zisheng, what do you think about this...... He didn't know much about the market situation of Dahan, so he planned to ask this expert's opinion, and at the same time wanted to see Huang Chuhan's level.

Huang Chuhan thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "Proprietor, I don't know if you want to be safe or fast?"

"Oh, how is it safe? How about fast?"

Huang Chuhan immediately said: "If you want to be safe, I suggest that the Chamber of Commerce currently focus on the conversion of local specialties, and the forests near Zhengyang County are rich in palm gum and camphor, as well as some special medicinal materials." There are also seafood, all kinds of sea vegetables, agar, sea mineral balls and so on. These things are traded in such large quantities that the chamber of commerce only needs to buy them from local producers and sell them to foreign chambers of commerce, and they can make the difference. Such a transaction is very safe, and it is almost impossible to lose money, but the profit is low, and the speed of capital accumulation is ......"

"What about the purchase channels? Can it be guaranteed?" Su Ze couldn't help but be a little disappointed, couldn't anyone else think of this kind of thing, I'm afraid the market would have been carved up a long time ago. Is it still your turn to intervene?

Huang Chuhan said with a smile: "Of course, you can guarantee that you have forgotten that Dr. Zhang? He is the number one person in the local area, and the local chamber of commerce will look at his face." When I went to the business hall in the county town the day before yesterday to find out about the situation, when they learned that it was your chamber of commerce, they immediately expressed their willingness to share it......

"Uh, got it......" Su Xue couldn't help but be a little out of sight, it seemed that this time he borrowed the east wind of the royal family again.

So he nodded, and continued, "What's fast?"

"If you want to be fast, it is to do business with the current urban continent, the exchange between this continent and our Han has only been about 10 years, and there are countless business opportunities in it, and many ordinary things we have here, such as ordinary grain, as long as they can be transported over, it is more than ten times the profit......"

Huang Chuhan said with a mysterious face: "...... Moreover, many of the specialties of the Urban Continent are also extremely profitable things in the Continent, such as the currently popular "Flesh Puppet", which is similar to zombies, and the Urban Continent does not have more than 100 gold and five plants, but in the Dahan market, you must buy at least 1500 gold and five plants. Some of the more secret high-end goods can even be sold for tens of thousands of gold plants...... A round trip, as long as it goes well, reaches 30 times the profit, which is the basic number......"

"Oh...... And such a continent?" Su Ze suddenly became interested.

Huang Chuhan added: "This is also introduced by the head of Dr. Zhang's chamber of commerce, and they have been doing business with a chamber of commerce on this continent for several years...... Huang Chuhan added: "...... I also learned from other sources that there are a lot of dangerous marine creatures on the route to this continent, as well as other risks, although the profits are extremely high, but the risks are also very high. ”

A great man once said: 300% of the profit can make the businessmen risk going to the gallows. Not to mention 3000%!

Su Ze's eyes immediately lit up, he didn't want to really do trade. However, whether it's money laundering or getting things from the earth, overseas trade is an excellent excuse.

Huang Chuhan smiled again and said, "Proprietor, I have already contacted the Chamber of Commerce of the Urban Continent, and their person in charge, Mr. Sai, will come over to visit when it is convenient for you...... If you mean that, I'll make an appointment with him right away......"

Su Ze nodded: "Okay...... You can call him over, I happen to have something to ask him about......"
