I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Ming Yu did not have a palace in Beijing, so he could only settle in the prince's place.

The prince followed Ming Yu all the way to the prince's place. Anyway, the emperor set a family banquet at night, and he still had a lot of things to discuss with Ming Yu, so there was no need to leave the palace.

"Fourteenth brother, you brought a lot of things from the Western Regions back to Beijing this time, but do you still need to act like last time?" asked.

This is the main purpose of his coming to Ming Yu. The last time Ming Yu asked him to sell goods related to the Western Regions in partnership, he made a lot of money. Even if he split half of the profits to the emperor, it was still staggering.

This time, Ming Yu brought a lot of goods into Beijing. As long as the planning is done well, the benefits will be even greater than the first time. The first time, no one understood the value of these things, and they made a lot of money by relying on the plan given by Ming Yu. Therefore, he came to specifically ask, this time to see how to act, so as to prepare early.

Ming Yu also sat down. He had already guessed the purpose of the prince coming to him, and he had already made plans.

"This matter does need to be carefully considered. I hope that this time it can create greater value." Ming Yu thought for a while and said.

"Greater value?" Ming Ye didn't understand what he meant. Which of these things from the Western Regions is not invaluable in the capital? Not to mention fur rugs, gems, peppers, and a glass mirror alone, it is hard to find gold. How does Ming Yu want to create greater value?

"Yes, not only the capital, but also affects farther places. There are many rich and tyrannical gentry in the Jiangnan area, so long-term development can be considered." Ming Yu said, tapping his fingers on the table.

Ming Ye frowned, "But now in the capital, these goods are in short supply. If they really affect the Jiangnan side, these things are just a drop in the bucket. How can they meet the needs of the public?"

Ming Yu shook his head, "How much money can a caravan earn by fighting alone? We have to start a long-term development plan."

"Fourteenth brother, what do you mean by that?" Ming Ye didn't quite understand.

Ming Yu has been thinking about the future of the development of Xiqi Corridor these days. If there are no people in any place, it will never be possible to develop. To attract people, there must be an attractive place.

He had already reported to the emperor before, and he understood the difficulties raised by the emperor. Now that the national treasury is tight, and war and disaster relief are needed, it is impossible for the imperial court to spend extra money to develop a barren and remote land.

Since the court can't get the money, Ming Yu can only find a way by himself, but where can he go to ask people for money?

"Brother Prince, does he know about Xiqi Corridor?" Ming Yu asked directly.

Ming Ye thought about it for a while, and still had a little impression of the Xiqi Corridor in Ming Yu's mouth. He remembered that he had mentioned this in the letter he sent before, and the emperor even showed him that letter. However, what does the Xiqi Corridor mentioned by Ming Yu have to do with the trade of goods in the Western Regions they are talking about today?

Before Ming Ye could ask a question, Ming Yu had already said: "Xiqi Corridor can be said to be a strategic location in the entire west. We Dayan must take the throat of Xiqi Corridor before we can change the current situation of wars everywhere."

After saying these words, Mingyue unfolded the map she brought and spread it in front of Ming Ye.

Although he didn't understand why Ming Yu would change the topic, Ming Ye still listened and followed Ming Yue's fingers to look at the long and narrow plain.

With a map, it can be explained better intuitively, "This place can lead directly to the countries in the Western Regions. If we have Dayan's control, there is no danger for the caravan to travel west."

"Hey!" Ming Ye took a deep breath. He knew the situation of Ming Yu's caravan. If Ming Yu hadn't asked Hu people to lead the team, this caravan would not be able to do business back and forth smoothly. Because the country of Suixi was right between Dayan and the countries in the Western Regions, it was absolutely impossible for them to watch Dayan trade with other countries, which was a great threat to them.

Now Ming Yu has discovered such a trade route, the important thing is not to be restricted by the Suixi Kingdom, so that the caravan trade can be done by everyone.

You must know that those businessmen always put the pursuit of profit in the first place, and for petty profits, even if they are unscrupulous, they must do it. Now take this simple and safe way of commerce, those people are afraid that they will flock to it, after all, if you take such a trip, the profit will be more than a hundred times a thousand times!

Ming Ye remembered that several people from the imperial court had asked him about the caravan before. All of these people had quite a lot of assets, and some of them were business owners. These people are very thoughtful, and they have already started the idea of ​​​​caravan, but due to the situation in the border areas, they are still a little undecided, and they want to see the situation.

Thinking of this, Ming Ye was a little anxious. If this caravan trade thing was rushing to do it, would they still have such a big profit margin? It is very simple, a piece of cake is only so big, one person and several people sharing it must not be on a par.

If the matter of the Xiqi Corridor spreads out, the caravans in the world will only be moved by the wind, which does not seem to be a good thing for them.

"I want to spread the word about this, so that the caravans can gather in Liangcheng and participate in the construction of the Xiqi Corridor." Ming Yu finally put forward his own idea. He wants more people to raise funds to develop Xiqi. corridor.
