Xu Dafo taught in person, and the results were naturally outstanding.
This group of vassal kings got together and quickly reached a consensus... The main businesses they needed to grab were the Daning Bank, and the main enemy of this business was Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.
After all, Zhu Gaoxu has already set up a bank in advance, has rich experience and strong capital. He is determined to win the Daning business.
Trying to steal business from Zhu Gaoxu is no less than pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.
But it doesn't matter. With Xu Jingchang here, there will be no difficulty.
Especially when dealing with Zhu Gaoxu, he is more experienced.
First of all, we need to recruit Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, and if possible, give his grandson Zhu Zhanji 10% of the shares. With the help of these two people, we can offset Zhu Gaoxu's advantage over the emperor.
Then go to Xia Yuanji and explain to Lao Xia that the King of Han's Bank is not only powerful, but also crushing the Hubu Bank. If the court wants to successfully surrender the Bank of Han, it must recruit allies.
It is very necessary to support the kings and establish a bank to contain the king of Han and prevent one family from becoming dominant.
As long as you set up a bank, you can snatch other businesses in the name of the bank.
The fleet must be captured, the land around Tianjin must not be spared, and the dock area must be controlled. In addition, shipbuilding and insurance are also very profitable and have a bright future.
Xu Jingchang has no interest in other gold mines, grain, livestock, meat, medicinal materials, silk, etc.
In his words, these are either the lifeblood of the imperial court and cannot be interfered with by the feudal king, or they are thankless efforts and low profits, completely inconsistent with the status of the feudal king.
All the kings praised him repeatedly and nodded.
King Zhu Su of Qi was curious and said: "Dong Guo, you have helped us a lot... When we do business together, we will naturally give you some shares so that we can all make a fortune together."
The other kings of Liao and Gu also followed suit and wanted to give Xu Jingchang dry shares.
However, our Dingguo Gong can't be bribed easily.
"You don't need to think too much. After you go out, you just need to pay the consultation fee according to the rules. I have to meet the next batch of customers." Xu Jingchang said calmly.
When the kings saw that he had issued an order to expel guests, they had no choice but to come out.
Only then did they discover that there was a sign hanging at Xu Jingchang's door... Pingzhangyuan Strategic Consulting Society.
What the hell is this?
Just when everyone was hesitating, Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu came.
This is somewhat embarrassing.
Just now they were discussing how to deal with Zhu Gaoxu, but he turned around and came.
What if the king of Han knew about their discussion with Xu Jingchang?
The kings were stunned here.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at these uncles and couldn't help but want to laugh, but he took it back.
"I came to see Duke Ding to discuss matters."
After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu stepped in and sat across from Xu Jingchang.
Xu Jingchang stood up, washed his face with the well water he had just brought, then sat down again and said with a smile: "I have discussed it with the kings. They mainly want to take money banks, shipping, insurance, real estate and shipbuilding."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and sighed: "My cousin is really amazing. They didn't even compete with me for the things I want!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your foundation is different from theirs. Each has its own emphasis. I can still see it."
Zhu Gaoxu paused and said, "How's my cousin's assessment? How much food can I get this year?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "At least three million stones."
Zhu Gaoxu was shocked, "Why are there so many?"
Xu Jingchang said calmly: "If you are more ruthless, you can squeeze out more. But in that case, too many slaves will escape. If they go to Oara and attract the Mongolian tribes to invade south, I'm afraid you will take it.
Can’t live.”
Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "This is a matter of the imperial court. Even if the Mongols come to kill me, my father will be responsible for it. What does it have to do with me?"
Xu Jingchang chuckled, "His Royal Highness, you also know that my place is still affiliated with Pingzhangyuan after all, and I need to be responsible for the Ming Dynasty. If you squeeze too much and affect the overall situation... I will suggest that the court take back part of the farm. After all, I
I think the kings are also interested. Otherwise, we can transfer it to the Ministry of Revenue and let them find suitable merchants."
Zhu Gaoxu's face immediately turned red.
Damn it, this guy pinched my weakness again.
He pondered for a while and then suddenly said: "I finally understand. You still want to take a bite out of Father, right? You kill three eagles with one stone and eat three fish with one stone... You, you are really a talent!"
Xu Jingchang shook his head, "How can you say that! I am providing suggestions. Your Majesty will have a copy, the court will also have a copy, and I will publish a copy in the Di Di newspaper."
Zhu Gaoxu clenched his fists. He finally understood that no one in the world could make money as easily as Xu Jingchang... This guy could make a lot of money just by talking. He could call the wind and rain, and he could do anything.
"Okay, I know what to do." Zhu Gaoxu turned and left.
After he left, Xu Jingchang finally had time to rest, but Zhu Di came again soon.
Also traveling with him was Xia Yuanji.
That’s right, Xu Jingchang’s Strategic Consulting Institute has become the most powerful brain behind the construction of Peking.
He fully grasped the core power of admonishment.
Both the government and the public should dance to his baton.
Of course, Xu Jingchang still showed considerable restraint and respect when facing Zhu Di.
After all, no matter how sophisticated Xu Jingchang’s plan is, it still needs Zhu Di’s approval.
"Your Majesty, if everything goes well, the kings will get the Tianjin port, and they will also get the shipyard... In order to facilitate trade, they will build many buildings, such as warehouses, restaurants, inns, and trading houses... including brothels, banks, and pawn shops.
.”
Zhu Di's eyelids moved, but he didn't say more. He just asked: "So, you asked the kings to build a Tianjin city?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "I have this intention, but it still depends on the court's wishes."
He set his sights on Xia Yuanji.
Xia Yuanji immediately said: "Your Majesty, Tianjin Linhai is indeed the best port in the north. It also has the Haihe River. With a little dredging, sea ships can pass through the canal and go directly to Beiping. It is a unique advantage and has great prospects. But the court can't come up with anything yet.
Money, if you princes can do this well, it will be a great achievement."
Zhu Di nodded, "By the way, building a city will cost a lot of money. If you let the kings do it, won't it be a waste of national money and people's wealth?"
Xu Jingchang laughed and said: "How could it be? The imperial court sells land, collects taxes...and attracts many people to gather in Tianjin. There are many places where you can make money!"
Zhu Di frowned deeply, he couldn't believe it.
After several years, he is somewhat familiar with Xu Jingchang's routines.
And no matter what happens, it can't have only advantages and no disadvantages.
Totally unreasonable!
Build Tianjin and develop trade... The imperial court got a city for nothing, and it also increased a lot of tax revenue. The kings made a fortune, making up for their previous losses.
Even merchants and common people have an extra place to live and settle down.
All good things, nothing bad?
Do you think I am a fool?
"Actually, Your Majesty, you should look at it this way. The main reason for this is that the population in the Central Plains has multiplied, and there is a surplus of labor in various places. Leaving them in their hometowns, just digging in the soil, is a waste of sweat. Tianjin was originally just a health system
The city is too small and there is a lot of wasteland around it. If it is developed at this time and can accommodate the extra people, it will naturally benefit everyone."
Xu Jingchang paused, and then said: "If I have to say who was harmed...I'm afraid I have to ask the kings about this."
"Ask them?" Zhu Di was puzzled, "What can they do?"
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "In order to build the project, they will inevitably come up with some messy methods... For example, not long ago, 50,000 Jurchens crossed the Yalu River. Cao Guogong later provided the King of Han with more than 5,000 strong laborers, all of whom were good at farming."
"Wait a minute, do the Jurchens know how to farm?"
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Of course they are not Jurchens anymore."
"What are you talking about?" Zhu Di suddenly realized, "You, you still do this in private?"
Xu Jingchang said: "I know that your majesty has a good heart and there are some things. I hope that your majesty will not know too clearly, so as not to damage the saint's wisdom."
Zhu Di was startled, and suddenly said angrily: "Li Jinglong is a loser. So many people passed by and he robbed 5,000 people. He is a waste. If I led the army, I would capture at least 50,000 people... Don't believe it. Back then, I
Together with Duke Guo of Song, they went to Liaodong and captured 250,000 people, including the Grand Master of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. I am much more capable than them."
Zhu Di desperately boasted about his achievements, and then said to the two ministers: "Tell me when you can give me a chance to lead the army, why don't you just ask me to beg you two?"
Zhu Di's desire to fight could no longer be restrained.
Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji looked at each other. Fortunately, they had already talked and knew each other well.
Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, to fight a war, money and food are of course indispensable... This time the property is sold and the money obtained is all your Majesty's military salary. I will not misappropriate it at all. As for food, it depends on the situation of the King of Han. As long as the farm
If everything goes well, there is no need for them to accumulate food and grass. As long as they can use it themselves, I can allocate 2 million shi of food from the south. In total, it is 10 million taels of military pay and 2 million shi of food."
When Zhu Di heard this number, he became uneasy.
During the four years of Jingnan, he had never fought such a wealthy battle!
At this moment, Xu Jingchang also said: "Your Majesty, everything is ready. The only problem left is the excuse to use troops. This time we invite the grassland tribes for a competition. Arutai has already agreed, and the Jurchen tribes have also sent people.
.There is only one Wala left. If they are disobedient, they can be deployed."
Xu Jingchang was talking about deployment, but Zhu Di took it as a matter of course to start a war.
"It's just a small tile, not worth mentioning. I personally raised a hundred thousand soldiers to win in one battle! The grassland is leveled right before our eyes."
Zhu Di was finally satisfied and finally had the opportunity to use his troops.
He simply stood up and said with a smile: "You guys go down and do your work, I have something else to do."
Then Zhu Di invited Wei Guogong Xu Huizu over.
"I know that you are the best at training soldiers... I just want to ask you, with the Ming Dynasty's troops and horses, can you defeat Wala?"
Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please give me three months to prepare my troops and horses before I can go to war."
Zhu Di nodded, took Xu Huizu's arm, and shook it vigorously, "This time we don't have to fight each other, can we fight the enemy together?"
Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with sincerity and fear: "I am willing to be your majesty's vanguard!"
