"Official position?" After listening to Fan Lixiang's words, Liu Zhang suddenly smiled. Thinking about it, it was true. Liu Zhang seemed to have been thinking in his heart that to manage this country, he needed the official position of emperor. He couldn't use the king of Shu to manage the world.
Therefore, it is imperative to proclaim himself emperor.
Liu Zhang was really not that concerned about the emperor's many privileges. In fact, if the conditions of this era allowed for the emergence of the abdication system, Liu Zhang could pass the throne to like-minded people like Huang Yueying or Fazheng after his death.
But that will definitely lead to chaos in the world. As of today, I have formed an interest group with myself as the core. The abdication system is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The core shift brought about by abdication will cause chaos like a storm.
Moreover, even if the abdication is given to minimize the harm, the Chinese people still have a tradition that they are afraid of the previous rulers. If they abdicate themselves, it is estimated that their family and children will be done with it. Even if the king who abdicated does not take action, they will
New interest groups under his command will also take action.
Wouldn't he become a joke by then?
Unless, like the late Qing Dynasty, countless non-hereditary countries appeared to give people a pre-accepting mentality, in this era, all the countries we know are hereditary, and if you want to abdicate, you will only be a joke.
The only thing Liu Zhang can do now is the system before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since Huang Lan has hit the muzzle of his own gun, he will start with Huang Lan.
Project quality problems broke out in the Peiping Qu family. The person in charge, Qu Wu, was suddenly arrested. The people clapped their hands and cheered. Qu Xi rushed from Chang'an to Peiping. Everyone thought Qu Xi was here to intercede for Qu Wu. Those people were still waiting.
Let’s see how Liu Zhang will deal with Qu Xi, a big businessman and Qu Lingchen’s younger brother, after he pleads for mercy.
But after Qu Xi came to Peiping, he did nothing except visit Qu Wu once. He directly announced his withdrawal from the project in Peiping and supported the government's arrest.
Because of Qu Tian's relationship, Liu Zhang opened some convenient doors within a reasonable range when he first started doing business in Quxi. He had some understanding of Quxi.
This echoes Qu Tian's style, and it seems that Qu Tian is a pure businessman and does not want to be involved in politics, so he went to visit Qu Wu. According to his own reports, Qu Xi only went to confirm the case and whether the Qu family was framed.
But the man died on the Qu family's construction site, and the workers and supervisors ran away again. How could the Qu family escape the relationship? Qu Xi did not say anything and directly announced that the Qu family had withdrawn from Peiping.
When the Qu family quits, the project of the Qu family will be freed up.
Since Qu Tian's death that year, Qu Xi started to do business alone. He was able to rise rapidly even without the support of his tribe. What's more, he later became a top businessman without any constraints. In the past few years, Qu Xi has relied on his keen vision to make Qu Xi a successful businessman.
The family is forged into the largest private business.
The Yin family is not as good as the Qu family, and the only one that can compete with the Qu family is the Huang family, and the Huang family obviously takes advantage of politics.
The project in Peiping this time is huge. Of course, we need to find capable merchants. As the largest businessman in Quxi, how can the project contracted by the Qu family be small?
This has aroused the covetousness of countless businessmen, not only the Yin family, the Deng family, the Wu family and other big businessmen gathered together. There are also many small businessmen who are ready to jointly bid and share the projects after they get the project.
However, these eager businessmen soon became disheartened because the conditions offered by the government were too harsh.
Due to this incident with the Qu family, the officials in charge of the project formulated a policy that all building materials must be purchased through the government. No matter where you want to buy, you must report to the government.
This is nothing at first, but the government has issued a sky-high deposit, which requires a huge amount of money as a guarantee. If there is any problem with the quality of the project, there will be heavy fines.
Now that the world has just been unified, due to the booming business brought about by new crops, Liu Zhang ordered the reconstruction of many places scarred by the war, including grasslands, Jiaozhou, the Western Regions and many other facilities.
These places can only be managed by the government, no matter how rich they are, they can only be contracted out. It can be said that the world of the Han Dynasty is full of business opportunities.
As long as you have capital, you can make money. Those businessmen with a keen sense of smell know firstly that these business opportunities are money, and secondly, they also know that such an opportunity will only appear once. When the big man settles down, so many projects will definitely not appear at the same time.
And who doesn’t want to be the first batch of upstarts when Liu Zhang is resurgent? The benefits brought by the first batch of upstarts are extremely huge.
So now all the money from all businesses has been basically thrown away and invested in the construction of various projects in order to raise chickens and lay eggs. How can there be so much cash?
In fact, even if it is not spilled, such a large sum of money cannot be obtained in a hurry.
Peiping is not the capital, Chang'an is. Now Liu Zhang wants to build Peiping, so many businessmen come here, but their money is still sitting in Chang'an and other places.
The time for announcing the sky-high deposit and the bidding deadline were too tight. In any case, these businessmen would not be able to collect so much money in such a short period of time.
Not only could they not do it, they also didn't believe that other businessmen could do it. As expected, the Yin family, the Wu family, the Deng family and other big business families couldn't do it.
These businessmen wondered whether many businessmen would join forces to contract and collect enough deposits to share the projects. Some businessmen also felt that the government could not want these projects for themselves. The government did not have such a big appetite, and Liu Zhang still had to use the money from the treasury.
Many places, such as the port of Tianjin.
But at this moment, another news came through. In order for the soldiers to move in quickly, the government required the bidding merchants to be able to resume the construction progress within half a month.
This immediately stunned these businessmen. They finally confirmed that the government really did not want them to do it. How long did it take for the Qu family to prepare for such a big project to mobilize materials? What is the current construction progress?
Beiping is remote, is it so easy to assemble materials? Even hiring workers, assigning workers, and getting familiar with the construction site will take more than this, right?
It is impossible to restore the current construction progress of Qujia in a month, let alone half a month.
But just when everyone thought that the government was just trying to make a fortune, and the bidding was just a formality, the Huang family suddenly announced the bidding, took out a sky-high deposit, and promised to resume construction progress within half a month.
At this time, all the businessmen were not calm.
How is this possible? Where can the Huang family get so much cash? The Huang family has no fewer projects than other businessmen in Yuzhou, Heluo and other places. It stands to reason that the money has also been spilled out. How can it be possible to mobilize so much cash in a place like Peiping?
money?
At this time, the Huang family gave an explanation. They had withdrawn the money from the bank. Zhang Song's bank had already settled in Peiping. According to the rules, after depositing money in the bank, you can go to any branch to withdraw it.
All the businessmen were dumbfounded. Because they had not had the habit of depositing money elsewhere before, their concept of banks only limited their impressions of market prices, loans, and investments.
Not only them, but also ordinary people don't deposit money in banks because they always feel it's not safe.
But at this time, the Huang family actually used the bank. Other businessmen regretted it and asked the bank again. Except for the withdrawal by the Huang family, there was no cash left.
The Huang family has also contracted projects in Peiping. As the only family with comparable strength to the Qu family, the Huang family also has many projects in Peiping, so the Huang family can quickly mobilize materials from their own construction site to the Qu family's construction site.
In this way, both conditions are met.
All the businessmen returned in despair, and the Huang family took over the remaining projects of the Qu family.
"Not bad. These two conditions are tailor-made for the Huang family. Mr. Huang Lan should be able to make a lot of money now."
Liu Min tapped her fingers on the table and said calmly. Huang Lanfei, who was standing beside him, was about to explode with anger. His subordinates had already told him about Liu Min and he was angry at that time.
But what made Huang Lan even more angry was that Liu Min actually handed over the winning businessman to his mansion in the name of Fan Lixiang. This was a clear attempt to blackmail him.
Huang Lan looked down on Liu Min at all in her heart, but on the surface Liu Min was a soldier and he was a civilian. He could not compete directly. He could only deal with Liu Min, a partial general. He thought to himself that he must find a way to deal with Fan Lixiang when he returned.
, get the place back.
"Huang Lan doesn't understand what General Liu is saying. I, the Huang family, won the bid with half the strength and half the luck. I only relied on the King of Shu Tianen to serve the people wholeheartedly." If Liu Min went to find his subordinates, Huang Lan would give some benefits to them.
Liu Min.
But now Liu Min actually called her to the house, which was really rude. Huang Lan didn't think she was such an easy person to bully.
"Half strength and half luck? You are so lucky. You even took away my luck. It seems that Mr. Huang wants to monopolize the benefits?"
"General Liu." Huang Lan looked at Liu Min: "Even General Fan, I'm afraid he can't talk to me like this. Liu Min, let me say it again, I don't understand what General Liu is talking about. I, Huang Lan, walk straight.
, The project was contracted for profit, but also for the imperial court and the people. General Liu is openly asking for bribes. Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"
Huang Lan can't stand Liu Min anymore. How old are you for making remarks in front of me? So she directly named Liu Min's thoughts.
"Oh, report? Okay, you go ahead." Liu Min smiled, and Huang Lan's pupils shrank. He didn't want to report and make the matter bigger, but now he was asked to give Liu Min benefits.
Now, I will fight to the death and refuse to admit it. What can Liu Min, a young general, do to me?
"Since you didn't report me, I have no choice but to report you. Huang Lan, don't be shameless. Do you think you did it perfectly?
Does the deposit at that price really belong to your Huang family? Don't think that the general doesn't know that it is all government funds. You use government funds to deposit in the bank and then withdraw them in advance, pretending to be the funds of the Huang family.
Isn’t it because these deposits will eventually be returned, and then the government’s treasury will be filled?”
"You...what did you say?" Huang Lan's expression changed obviously. (To be continued)
