Farmer of Shu Han

To do a good job in business, in addition to being good at discovering business opportunities that others have not discovered, you must also have the ability to act and plan your action plan in advance.

It's just that the cotton business was not discovered by the Bingzhou clan, but by Feng Duhu.

Not only did Feng Duhu discover it, but even the planning right was in Feng Duhu's hands.

That's embarrassing.

Being controlled by others feels uncomfortable.

It's just that compared to the steady stream of financial resources in the future, this is uncomfortable, and it's not unacceptable.

"Zhongnan, what kind of regulations does Feng Duhu have for cotton planting? Is it enough to just buy a ticket?"

After the initial shock passed, some people also began to calm down:

"That's right, brother Guo, besides, with such a large source of wealth, will the Xinghan Society really be willing to give it up?"

As the white gloves of Ji Han's dignitaries, the minions of Ji Han's royal family, and also the largest financial group of Ji Han's private sector, would they turn a blind eye to such a large financial source?

Guo Pei seemed to have expected this question from everyone, but saw him stretch out his arm, and pressed it down, signaling everyone to listen to him:

"How can the Xinghan Society turn a blind eye to such a source of wealth? But manpower is sometimes poor, and no matter how big the Xinghan Society's appetite is, it can't eat all the benefits of the world, right?"

"I don't see you, the workshops in Liangzhou may not all be built by Xinghan Society from the very beginning."

When Wang Chen heard it, he was thoughtful:

"That's right, what Zhongnan said, if you think about it carefully, the current incident seems to be similar to the Liangzhou incident back then."

In those days, the nobles in Liangzhou spent a lot of money and food in order to buy a place in the workshop.

Not to mention Ji Han's attitude when he entered Liangzhou.

When Ji Han regained Bingzhou, Taiyuan also fell from the city.

So now the imperial court gave everyone the qualification to buy Kanto cotton?

However, it is estimated that a lot of money will have to be spent.

"Wow! This statement is indeed true."

Guo Pei agreed:

"From Liangzhou to Bingzhou, there will be Youzhou in the future. How much wool can Xinghan eat with such a big grassland in the north?"

"Let's talk about cotton, even if only Xinghan in the whole world knows how to grow and weave."

"Then they can make a lot of money just by selling us seeds. It's just that no matter how useful cotton is, it's probably not as good as wool."

Fur is the best thing to keep out the cold, but how can it be so easy to get the best fur?

This is not the case for wool. After all, in the desert north of the Han Dynasty, the Hu people are like leeks. Once you cut a crop, you can grow another crop.

As long as the desert exists, the barbarians will exist.

As long as there are Hu people, are you afraid that there will be no wool?

As long as Xinghanhui has mastered wool, it has mastered the high-end market.

Cotton is only considered low-level, and it is aimed at those people who have a little wealth and can buy warm clothes in winter. How can it compare with wool?

"That's why Feng Duhu said that even if the Xinghan Society wants to grow cotton, it is like Liangzhou. At most, it only takes a part of it, and the rest is everyone's."

It would be a lie to say that Xinghan would not want it at all.

But it is even more impossible to say that Xinghan Club wants all of them.

With Liangzhou as the first example, this statement is still very credible.

Besides, others don't know, so don't they know that in the north of Taiyuan, the Xinghan Society is building a large-scale construction project, and it is said that it is going to dig coal and smelt iron.

Isn't the wool and iron smelting of the beard shearers much better than growing cotton?

Seeing that everyone was thinking deeply, Guo Pei struck while the iron was hot and continued:

"Feng Duhu also said that he also knows that although there is no business in the world that can make a profit without losing money, the risk of buying the cotton-growing land in Kanto in advance is indeed a bit greater."

As he spoke, he bent down for the fifth time and took out a contract from the box.

Wang Chen was taken aback when he saw it, and couldn't help but glance at the box again.

How many things are hidden inside?

"But then again, if you all have the heart to serve the country, the imperial court must not cool down the hearts of those with lofty ideals."

"That's why Feng Duhu said again, if within ten years, if the Central Plains cannot be completely restored, the Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated three times."

"Then the imperial court will pay everyone a double share of the land on the Yinshan Jiuyuan side, and give them a workshop quota."

Why not return the Taiyuan property?

What are you thinking!

Without these properties, is it true that the imperial court will set up a school for you for ten years?

Hearing what Guo Pei said, many people couldn't help but gasp in their hearts.

If so, then...seems pretty good?

It was only about 20 years ago that Cao Cao abandoned Jiuyuan and moved his population to the south of Yanmen Fortress.

So everyone knows one thing, that is, although Jiuyuan is a little bit out of the way, there are indeed many good places there.

In the past, everyone was not very interested in that side, but that was because the frontier land was not stable enough, and the barbarians were just a problem.

But it's different now.

Feng Duhu led the army to Jiuyuan three years ago, but he slaughtered tens of thousands of Hu people.

Not to mention Jiuyuan, even the barbarians in Bingzhou are obedient like watchdogs.

Those who are disobedient have long been dragged to the mountains to mine.

And with Ji Han's current appetite, unless it is absolutely necessary, it is impossible to think that he will give up there voluntarily like Wei thief.

I heard that in the desert outside the Great Wall, there are actually horse thieves who specialize in robbing wool.

It can be seen how attractive wool is.

Not to mention that Ji Han is now the capital of Chang'an.

If Yinshan is lost, Guanzhong will lose its periphery.

Guanzhong is unstable, how can Chang'an be safe?

With such a total, even if the big man can't regain the Central Plains in the future, it won't be too bad.

Mostly a loss of time.

That's not right, in fact, it took ten years in exchange for the qualification to run a school in Bingzhou.

Ten years is not too long for a century-old family.

Take ten years to gamble, and if you win, Ji Han will take over the Central Plains, and sooner or later he will unify the world.

On his own side, he not only won the qualification to enter the Jihan Dynasty Hall, but also obtained the right to manage a large number of people's livelihood materials.

It's called win-win.

If he loses, at worst, he will take back Jiuyuan's land, and at the same time get a place in the workshop.

This is called guarantee.

In other words, there is a guarantee for losing, but there is no cap for winning.

such a good thing...

Wang Chen thought about it, and made up his mind on the spot:

"The Wang family followed!"

Guiwang Feng's move is obviously to lure him for profit, and to force him to... is also profit.

It seems that a choice is given, but in fact there is no choice at all.

Compared to Wang Chen's straightforwardness, although most of the people present showed signs of emotion, they were only here on behalf of the family after all, and they didn't have the right to make a final decision.

Guo Pei naturally didn't expect to get the answer today.

After all, no matter what, this is a major event that involves most of the wealthy families in Bingzhou.

"I'll go back and tell the elders in the family that as soon as there is a decision, I will come to inform Brother Guo immediately. I only hope that Brother Guo must wait a little longer."

"Naturally, naturally."

"Brother Guo, please wait for my news."

"sure."

...

In order to inform the clan of the news earlier, everyone did not stay for a moment, and began to leave one after another.

After sending everyone out of the house, Guo Pei returned to the house and found that Wang Chen was still holding the book and reading, as if he wanted to see through the secrets inside.

Seeing Guo Pei come in, he just entered the notebook and sighed:

"Humanistic Feng Guiwang is cruel and merciless, and now I have seen it."

Guo Pei was startled when he heard this.

Aren't you the first to jump out and respond just now?

Why is it that people in the front do one thing, and people in the back do the other thing?

Wang Chen seemed to have seen Guo Pei's thoughts, but when he saw it, he threw the notebook on the cotton coat and sighed:

"Feng Guiwang's move seems to have given a choice, but in fact it left us with no choice."

It is precisely because I see that there is no choice at all, so I might as well grab the first place to respond.

Only then did Guo Pei understand what Wang Chen meant.

He recalled what Chang'an and his party had seen and heard again, with a wry smile on his face, he walked over and sat down:

"Honggao's words are really, alas, if I have a choice, why would I want to?"

Wang Chen smiled bitterly and explained:

"Zhongnan, I didn't mean to blame you. Feng Mingwen's wisdom is second to none in the world."

"In the old days, when he was still weak, he was able to play with the great clans of Shu."

"Not to mention that now he is taking advantage of the general trend of the world to force him, we cannot stop him."

At the beginning of a new dynasty, it is a routine operation to attack the powerful.

Even the puppet Wei, when Cao Cao founded the country, respected etiquette and respected the law, and often punished the powerful.

Not to mention that Ji Han has always had a tradition of suppressing aristocratic families.

Although when Wang Chen knew that Guo Pei went to Chang'an to marry Pei Qian, he was a little annoyed at first.

He only thought that he lied to himself and went to Chang'an to find a way out without permission.

But today, after hearing the news brought back by the other party, Wang Chen also had to admit that it might have been a very good result for now.

After all, no family in the world has heard of what happened to the big clan in Shu.

Anyone who is a little sober, who is not afraid that Feng Guiwang will do the same to his family?

With the current power of Guiwang Feng and the resources in his hands, as long as it is a family that he is targeting, even if it does not die, it will definitely have to shed a few layers of skin.

No one wants to be the patriarch of the Li family in Shu.

But who wants to be the Li family of Longxi, or even the Li family of Tianshui.

When Guo Pei heard Wang Chen's words, his face was a little moved:

"It would be the best for Hong Gao to know me."

Then he sighed the same as Wang Chen:

"I don't know, King Feng Gui's attack will merge with the east of the river, and I'm afraid it will break with the big clans in the east!"

But can he say no?

In other words, do you dare not accept any big family that can be ranked in Bingzhou?

On the east side, I'm afraid everyone would like to do this.

Wang Chen shook his head, his expression became more serious:

"If it's just a split, it would be easy. I'm afraid that there will be blood in the future, and we will see the old battles in Chang'an, Kansai, and Kanto."

More than 40 years ago, the tragic scene of the murder of the main members of the Wang family in the Chang'an military chaos has deeply penetrated into Wang Chen's bones.

Over the years, I have seen events from that year in my dreams from time to time.

It is precisely because of this experience that he knows better than others that Feng Guiwang's design behind the cotton matter is really very insidious.

He is preparing to split the Kanto, or in other words, he is dismembering the Kanto family just like dismembering the Shu family.

It's just that Ghost King Feng is acting on the back of the general trend, even if Wang Chen can see what the other party wants to do, he has no way to stop it at all.

It made him feel very powerless.

"Probably this is called prosperity if you follow it, and perish if you go against it..."
