Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 364

[Chapter 364]

for it The fiery red sun is about to set into the western mountain, but the heat of the day still remains in the air, which indicates that summer is approaching.

In the study, he talked with Zhou Yi about the Naval Academy.

Immediately, he led Zhou Yi to a courtyard less than 300 meters away from the palace.

It used to be the other courtyard of the Huang family, a wealthy family in Yan County.

The site is spacious, with more than 100 rooms and beautiful scenery.

“This is the residence of the Naval Academy.” Zhao Xu said to Zhou Yi.

Afterwards, he will ask Gongcao officials to renovate the place to make it more like a school.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Zhou Yi looked around since he came in, and was very satisfied with the place King Yan had chosen for him.

Nodding his head, he continued: “There will be someone in the school to provide you with meals. Don’t worry about these sundries. In a few days, the king will provide you with a textbook.

” I’m not in a hurry, after all, Chen Shou’s battleship cannot be completed in half a year.

The most important thing for Zhou Yi at present is to recruit naval soldiers, and then undergo at least three months of training like the royal army.

In addition to training physical strength, it is also necessary to master the use of flintlock guns and artillery to shape their discipline.

Of course, he will often come to the Naval Academy to popularize some basic knowledge for them first.

Such as ocean currents, monsoons and other concepts.

After handing over the key to the school gate to Zhou Yi, Zhao Xu returned to the palace.

Let Zhou Yi handle the rest of the school sundries by himself.

This is also a kind of test for him, some things can only grow faster if he is allowed to do it himself.

…

the firm.

Yang He thought about the list for a long time, and when the night was completely dark, he made people light up again.

Letting out a long breath, he said to the officials beside him: “Go to Lu’s mansion, call Lu Lin, and say that I invite him to drink.” The official answered

yes, turned and left.

About half an hour later, a carriage stopped in front of the firm.

A fat merchant walked into the firm with the help of a servant.

At this moment, there is a table of wine in a private room in the firm.

Lu Lin smiled when he saw Yang Hedui sitting comfortably inside.

“Master Yang ordered me to come here so late, there must be something good going on.” Lu Lin cupped his hands and smiled.

“Naturally, I can’t forget Brother Lu even if I forget anyone.” Yang He put away his official demeanor and looked very close to Lu Lin.

He and Lu Lin have known each other for a long time. When the Zhang family was still there, Lu Lin often sold silk from Yuzhou to Yanjun.

The Yang family can be said to be one of Lu Lin’s major clients.

And after he became the head of the firm, Lu Lin interacted more frequently with the Yang family.

After all, who among the merchants in the world doesn’t want to have a relationship with Prince Yan’s Mansion?

However, compared to other big merchants, this Lu Lin’s family background is a bit thin.

He also can’t compete with those luxury merchants for the monopoly rights of fine wines, perfumes, and glass in the palace.

It’s just that he was not reconciled, so he stayed in Yancheng all the time, hoping to wait for a chance to make a fortune.

“Is this true?” Lu Lin just casually said politely, but seeing that Yang He didn’t seem to be joking with him, he immediately became serious.

Yang He nodded slightly, “I know Brother Lu’s ambition is to be a top-notch businessman, and now he has a chance. I don’t know if Brother Lu has the guts.”

“Oh?” Lu Lin looked puzzled, ” Brother Yang, please show me.”

After pondering for a while, he said: “Our Yanzhou Commercial Bank intends to establish a commercial alliance to attract merchants from all over the world to join. The merchants who join the alliance will be given various discounts, but correspondingly, merchants must abide by the rules and orders of the commercial alliance.”

Lu Lin rolled his eyes, he was not a fool, he guessed that this matter was unusual.

So he carefully asked: “Is this the order of King Yan?”

Yang He just smiled and didn’t speak.

Seeing this, Lu Lin thought about it.

He is a merchant from Yuzhou, and he pays tribute to the Wang family’s money every year, and he also has business quotations from the Wang family in his hands.

It’s just that there are many merchants with merchants, but very few who can get the goods from the palace.

Seeing that the merchants who sold the goods of the palace in Yuzhou became richer and richer, it was impossible for him not to be jealous.

It was also for this reason that he held his breath and guarded Yancheng, just to wait for the new goods from the palace to be released.

So Yang He told him to give him a chance, and he couldn’t be tempted.

It’s just that he was also a little worried, afraid of being involved in the struggle between King Yan and the powerful clans.

To join the merchant alliance, one must abide by the rules of the merchant alliance, which is the same as obeying the orders of the palace.

So he smiled wryly and said: “Of course a good thing is a good thing, but my small body can’t stand the toss of His Royal Highness Yan Wang and the Wang family.”

Yang He sneered when he heard this, and he said: “Brother Lu, do you know why Yanzhou officials Do you treat merchants with courtesy?”

“I have heard about this, and it is said that His Royal Highness King Yan is implementing a policy of emphasizing business in Yanzhou, and treats merchants like scholars.” Lu Lindao.

“Then what about Brother Lu in Yuzhou?” Yang He asked again.

“The rich and powerful families follow the children of Yun’s family to do business, but they all regard doing business as a dirty thing, and they especially despise merchants.” Lu Lin sighed.

“Since this is the case, why does Brother Lu need to be an inferior person in Yuzhou?” Yang He stared at Lu Lin, “Of course, Yang just saw that Brother Lu is a man who can be made, so he has such a good intention. I won’t force you.”

After a pause, he sighed, “It’s just passing through a village, but there’s no such shop anymore, and besides, joining the Merchant Alliance doesn’t mean Brother Lu marching and fighting, it’s fine work, there’s no danger.”

“No Do it carefully?” Lu Lin was suddenly surprised.

Yang He was stunned, and thought that Lu Lin had misunderstood, thinking that joining the business alliance would start to fight against the Wang family from now on.

With a laugh, he said: “Brother Lu, brother Lu, you are wrong. King Yan established this business alliance not to fight against others, but a big family that gathers merchants from all over the world.

” Language, he said: “First, in the business alliance, you can meet merchants from other states. This is a network. Second, the business alliance will have its own rules. Merchants inside cannot bully you, they can only compete fairly with you, so that a good business environment can be established, so that the interests of every merchant can be preserved.”

“Third, if merchants are blackmailed by officials, the merchant alliance will Fourth, the merchant alliance will unify the price of goods in the region, such as Yan County, rice, and cloth prices will remain roughly similar to prevent people from driving up or selling at a low price…”

Yang He explained the rules of the merchant alliance one by one. say it.

Finally he said: “Of course, as the initiator of the merchant alliance, the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce will provide preferential treatment to the merchants in the alliance on the products of the Wangfu, and you will also be able to do business freely in Yanzhou in the future, and the government will protect your interests.”

Immediately, he smiled mysteriously and threw out some big news, “Your Highness also said that you may be allowed to set up workshops in Yanzhou in the future, for example, selling the crafts of soap workshops to you.”

“What!” Hearing this, Lu Lin could no longer remain calm.

Yang He just smiled. According to Yan Wang, they only need to keep the core of soap making, the caustic soda process.

Sell caustic soda to businessmen at a high price to ensure the profits of the palace, and let them build their own workshops in Yanzhou for production.

In this way, the supply of soap can be quickly increased.

In order to avoid the waste of manpower in Yanzhou and enrich the population of Yanzhou, the palace will also introduce preferential policies to allow merchants to bring craftsmen from other states.

In this way, it not only attracts a large number of merchants to build workshops in the four northern counties, but also introduces a large number of high-quality people by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

“I’ll join, brother Yang, you must let me join.” Lu Lin suddenly held Yang He’s hand tightly.

He admitted that his heart was moved, and it moved crazily.

Yang He showed a satisfied smile. For him, the first step of the grand plan has gone out.
