A mansion in Xianyang City was bustling with activity, and the three words "General's Mansion" on the hanging plaque were replaced by the more impressive "Wuchenghou" Mansion.

Many guests came to express their congratulations, and there was an endless stream of civil and military ministers, princes and nobles.

At this time, Wang Jian, who had just been granted the title of Chehou, was standing next to a flower tree, looking at the dense branches and leaves, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, a voice sounded: "Congratulations, grandfather, for being awarded the title of Marquis of Wucheng!"

When Wang Jian heard this, he turned around and saw a young man in his early twenties coming to his side, with a joyful smile that could not be concealed on his face.

Seeing this person, the former also showed a smile on his face and said, "Li'er is back?"

Hearing this, the young man replied: "My grandson was originally in the military camp. When he heard that his grandfather had been conferred the title of Marquis of Che, he rushed over immediately."

This person was Wang Jian's grandson Wang Li. In order to help him become a talent, Wang Ben personally sent his son to the military camp for training two years ago.

After all, the Wang family is a family of generals, and the burden of the future head of the family must still be placed on the eldest son Wang Li. In order not to disgrace the family, Wang Li's requirements are naturally quite strict.

Wang Jian said in a dark tone and calmly: "Whether I am an ordinary soldier or a general or a prince, I am the king's eagle and dog. Although I am already a minister, I should not be too arrogant. I just have to do my own thing well."

Wang Li nodded and said: "My grandson must remember his grandfather's teachings. The reason why he came here in a hurry this time is because he was too happy."

He said with a face of joy: "Since Lord Shang's reform, there have only been five Chehous in Da Qin, and you are the sixth and the only general.

Relying on real military industry to become a prince is something that no one else can compare to, so our Wang family will be the number one general in the Qin Dynasty for decades to come, how can we not make people happy!"

Having said this, Wang Li couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, as if he had achieved this achievement by himself.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Wang Jian said calmly: "Although the Wang family seems to be prosperous, I am getting old after all, and your father was also seriously injured in the battle to destroy Wei.

We can only fight for another ten years at most, and after ten years, the Wang family will still have to rely on you to support it."

As he spoke, his expression changed, and he muttered slightly: "Li'er, your temperament is still not stable enough now. If you have the chance, you should learn more from Meng Tian. That boy is indeed outstanding."

Hearing this, Wang Li said indifferently: "The reason why he became a general is not because of your grandfather, so it's nothing special."

When Wang Jian heard this, he said quite seriously: "Those who are not yet generals are most afraid of being conceited. The higher you stand, the more cautious you must be. You must remember this truth."

“My grandson will remember his grandfather’s teachings!”

Wang Li cupped his hands and responded, but only he knew whether he really remembered it in his heart...

In the Yangzhai City Tianyuan Trading Company Headquarters, there is a magnificent hall with tables and chairs placed in the center. Only a few figures can be seen sitting back, and the leader is Ye Zhang.

Sitting on the left are Master Ban of the Mohist School and Fu Nian, the head of the Confucian School, while the two people on the right are Situ Wanli, the master of Siyue Hall, a peasant family, and a young woman.

This person is none other than the personal maid named Xiao Si who followed the prostitute, or she was her apprentice.

After the fall of the Zhao Kingdom, the prostitute gradually retreated to the sidelines and did not show up in public. The shares of the trading company were temporarily handed over to Xiao Si for management, and even the identity of Da Siming was intended to be passed on.

Ye Zhang looked at the rest of the people and spoke first: "This is the first all-shareholders meeting of Tianyuan Commercial Bank since its establishment. The main purpose is to invite everyone to discuss the future development direction. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it.

.”

Hearing this, Situ Wanli chuckled and said, "You are the big boss of the trading company. If you have any questions, just tell me. We only need to take a few sips of soup."

Ye Zhang replied: "Brother Situ is too polite. Tianyuan Trading Company belongs to all shareholders. Major decisions must be approved by more than half of the shareholders."

After many rounds of financing, the company's shares have now been divided into several shares. The Confucian and Mohist families occupy a total of 15%, the farmer's family occupies 15%, the prostitute's family occupies 25%, and Ye Chang, as the biggest instigator,

I'm 45% again.

Although it seems that the shareholding has shrunk a lot, the power of the entire Tianyuan Trading Company has increased dramatically, and the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Of course, this does not mean that other people tied together can shake Ye Zhan's rights. The diluted shares now only represent the distribution of harvest, but the actual overall direction is still controlled by his personal hands.

After hearing this, Situ Wanli said straight to the point: "Now that Yingzheng has annexed the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Chu, I am afraid that he is not far away from unifying the world.

Now the Qin State wants to go eastward with all its strength, so it doesn't want to worry too much, but if it waits for it to finish cleaning up the six countries of Shandong, it will be difficult for the trading house to be remembered..."

Only after he truly got to know Tianyuan Trading Company did he realize how terrifying this behemoth was, enough to make anyone feel fearful, especially the aloof king, who couldn't just let it go.

If we really take action, the consequences will be unpredictable...

Ye Zhang naturally understood what the other party was thinking, and then continued: "It is precisely because of the oppressive situation that we must unite together. No matter how powerful the army is, it cannot do without firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The Confucians have connections and prestige, the peasants have the land and population, and the Mohists have many skilled craftsmen. Coupled with the influence and huge resources of the merchant houses in various countries, their power is no less than a million-strong army.

As long as we have these in our hands, we will be invincible."

At this point, his tone paused slightly, then he looked at a few people and continued: "And the purpose of establishing Tianyuan Trading Bank is not to fight against the regime, but to establish a new money system and business model.

We do what we do and they do what they do, and in some cases we can even coordinate and cooperate. A win-win situation is the best way."

After hearing these words, the other people also nodded. Although they didn't quite understand what the former said, who is the major shareholder?

Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man watching over you. You will be both prosperous and devastated, so you don’t have to worry about being plotted against.

Seeing that several people had no objections, Ye Zhang said: "The current situation is chaotic, and it is also a good opportunity for us.

We should try our best to use the resources at hand to merge and monopolize various major channels. It is best to control a huge part of the trade channels in our hands.
