Chapter 1029 A desperate plan
"Store copper and iron?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Private sales of iron are strictly prohibited, and the imperial government is very strict about it. What you are doing is a prohibited business!"
Wu Zhong shook his head.
To say that Chen Qu made a fortune, it turned out that he was involved in such businesses.
The imperial court handed over the sale and production of salt to salt merchants, and controlled it with salt quotas.
But iron is different.
Except for private iron trading, large-scale copper and iron trading is not allowed at all.
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense again?"
Chen Qu said: "You have to believe that people cannot stay calm under the influence of huge profits. What will you choose between a windfall and the risk of beheading?"
Several people were silent.
The answer is undoubtedly the former.
Everyone pursues profit, and businessmen even more so.
"Even if you save copper and iron, you can't sell it. In the Great Ning Dynasty, let alone anyone who dares to buy it, no one will buy or sell it at all."
Xie Mao asked: "Do you have any channels?"
"Just wait, as long as you reserve it, someone will buy it, and it will definitely be at a high price!"
Chen Qu sold it out.
Seeing that he didn't say anything more, the others paid attention, so everyone left and went back to prepare to boycott the treasure money.
However, Chen Qu did not return home. Instead, he gave up his car and walked invisibly to a remote residence on the edge of Jiangzhou City.
If there is no one around, he is the one knocking on the door.
After three long and short beeps, the door was opened.
It was a bookboy who led him to the courtyard at the back.
There was a middle-aged man in a long gown in the courtyard.
"You're here."
The middle-aged man greeted him.
"Shopkeeper Teng."
Chen Qu showed enough respect in front of Teng Bingjian.
The reason behind his rapid rise and fortune is the support of shopkeeper Teng.
He also knew that Shopkeeper Teng was also a wealthy businessman, but the difference was that Shopkeeper Teng was a wealthy businessman from Wei State.
It was quite big in Wei State.
Because shopkeeper Teng is a government businessman.
The State of Wei was originally a place of prosperous commerce. When some merchants became big, they inevitably had special relationships with the government.
Such businessmen are official businessmen.
Teng Bingjian is also a very powerful person among officials and businessmen, because behind him is Song Taiping, the prime minister of Wei State!
In the beginning, Chen Qu was just a hawker. He brought goods produced in Jiangzhou to Shangjing and earned the price difference by running back and forth.
It's very hard and difficult.
The hawker was at the bottom, and he was bullied until he met Teng Bingjian, who helped him make his first big money, helped him become a salt seller, and eventually a salt merchant.
He was extremely grateful, and at the same time he understood that gain and sacrifice were equal, and Shopkeeper Teng could not help him for no reason.
After reaching a certain level, Shopkeeper Teng revealed his true identity.
Chen Qu knew that this might involve a struggle between the two countries, but he could no longer extricate himself because he had made money, and the involvement was too deep to escape...
"According to your instructions, I have summoned those salt merchants and discussed with them a boycott of Daning treasure notes."
Chen Qu explained the situation in detail.
“Well done.”
Teng Jian glanced at Chen Qu appreciatively. He was very satisfied with the chess piece he had dug.
There are many ways of war between the two countries. The battlefield is just one kind, and the other is a war without smoke.
In comparison, Wei State is obviously better at the latter!
Business wars, economic wars, and trade wars can sometimes have greater effects than real wars!
After the first war between Daning and Liang, Wei felt threatened by Daning and joined forces with Liang to block the border and stop trade between the two countries.
This is a trade boycott.
But later it was discovered that the Daning New Dynasty was just established and the country was weak. Moreover, the Emperor of Daning focused on farming but not on commerce, so the impact of the ban or not did not seem to be big.
Then he gradually let go.
Using trade, the luxurious fragrance with psychedelic and paralyzing properties flowed into Daning.
This is Prime Minister Song Taiping’s vicious plan!
I originally thought that this would be a good strategy. If it succeeded, it would probably directly destroy Daning.
But Guan Ning noticed and stopped him in advance, but it didn't have much effect.
If you can't do it openly, you can only turn to the dark side. This is also the role of people like Chen Qu...
"Da Ning Bao Chao?"
Teng Jian also looked at one in his hand.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Da Ning has stepped in front of the Wei State. This treasure banknote is actually what the Wei State needs most. It is easy to carry and circulate. With the treasure banknote, our business in the Wei Dynasty will definitely be able to reach a higher level."
layer."
Teng Jian was originally an official and businessman of Wei State, and he could see through the function of this treasure banknote at a glance.
He has already written a secret letter and sent it back to Wei State. I believe that the Prime Minister will definitely inform His Majesty after learning about it.
Your Majesty will definitely follow suit and launch the Great Wei Bao Banknote.
To boycott Daning Baochao, Chen Qu proposed three methods, which were actually his idea.
Daning's good side, he had to find ways to destroy.
This is his mission.
"Because of the salt voting system, many salt merchants were dissatisfied with the court. After I proposed it, they all agreed and would soon start to boycott."
Chen Qu said: "I also threw out the bait of extravagant fragrance."
"Well, this is okay."
Since the last time Shexiang was attacked, this has started to happen again. They don't dare to be too blatant, but by opening the border, more Shexiang can be sold in Daning. This is also their purpose.
"I have to start another thing."
Teng Jian said: "Have you found the person you asked to find?"
"Are you talking about hoarding copper and iron? I have already arranged it."
"But it's not easy to inspire people to smelt copper and iron."
"It's easy, as long as you have money."
Teng Jian said: "Liang Guo wants to build a large army, which requires a large amount of copper and iron to build weapons and armaments. We can buy copper and iron from Daning and resell them to Liang Guo, making a profit from the price difference."
"Then why doesn't Wei practice?"
"What do you think is this a good thing?"
Teng Jian said calmly: "What do you think will happen when the common people abandon farming and smelt copper and iron?"
"Farming is the foundation of a country, and we, the State of Wei, will not dig our own graves like this!"
Chen Qu was trembling physically and mentally.
He finally understood what the real poisonous plan was!
Selling luxury fragrances in Daning is not enough, it also destroys the foundation of Daning!
This is a desperate plan!
Teng Jian sneered: "Why do you think Wei suddenly lifted the border ban and reduced the tariff by 50%?"
"In fact, they are all paving the way for this. Soon, a large number of Wei businessmen came to Daning to buy copper and iron at high prices. Under the temptation of high prices, the people would spontaneously smelt, and over time, they would give up farming and devote themselves to
.”
"The Daning court can control the merchants and the people of the world, not to mention that the tax on copper and iron is higher than the tax on food, and the national income will be higher than before. These are all temporary, and the whole country of Daning will receive high profits.
Paralysis, in a few years, the foundation will be destroyed, and it will be completely useless..."
Chen Qu was even more shocked when he heard this.
Chapter completed!
