I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

"Are you crazy?" Ming Ye stood up abruptly, and said in surprise: "If those merchants all go to the Western Regions to trade goods, what will our caravan do? Will we just watch the money we get pushed out?"

What is Ming Yu thinking about? But any normal person would not think like this, right? Are there people in the world who think they make too much money and want others to share the benefits?

Obviously, the piece of cake Ming Ye saw was very tempting. Even if it wasn't publicized, there would still be people trying to infiltrate it. Wouldn't it be great if it was publicized? How do they make money?

Ming Yu had long expected Ming Ye's reaction, and said with a smile: "Brother Prince, don't worry, if I say that if I do this, our profits can be hundreds of times more than what we are now?"

"What?" Ming Ye had already guessed the truth of what Xia Qingyue said, and the profit was a hundred times and a thousand times more than it is now. Are you sure you're not joking?

Ming Yu pulled Ming Ye to sit down, as if seeing through Ming Ye's mind, and said seriously, "I'm not joking."

Ming Ye looked at Ming Yu, calmed down, nodded and said, "Then tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Ming Yu sorted out his thoughts. He already had general ideas before, but until now, these ideas have been very clear.

"I have already asked my father to put the Xiqi Corridor under the jurisdiction of Liangcheng, so that Liangcheng and the Xiqi Corridor will be built into an economic and commercial circle. The Xiqi Corridor must be built and developed to attract more businessmen. The team will go to trade. At that time, an export and import supervision area will be built in Liangcheng. First, can we monitor whether the goods coming in and out are illegal? Second, we can set tariffs at the entry and exit points. Ten taxes and two or three will be enough to improve Dayan. towards the current predicament of lack of money.”

Ming Yu eloquently said, Ming Ye didn't understand what he said at first, but after hearing it, Ming Ye's heart was beating uncontrollably.

Because of the success of Mingyu's caravan, he knew the benefits too well. The caravan sold Dayan's silk, porcelain, tea products to the Western Regions. The rare and precious things were valuable in the West. Then the Western Regions The items returned to Dayan were even more maddening, and they made a lot of money. The benefits of this can prompt many caravans with a keen sense of smell to gather in Liangcheng, and they don't have to do anything, just guard the checkpoint, and a single tax of two or three can be worth dozens of trips to the Western Regions.

The treasury is now empty. If this tariff plan can succeed, then the Dayan Dynasty will definitely be different from what it used to be.

However, Ming Ye was a little worried. After all, the enemy of the Suixi Kingdom was still watching, and they could not react to the Xiqi Corridor incident. If the war is together, are those businessmen still willing to go?

Ming Ye raised what he was worried about, Ming Yu frowned, and this was what he was worried about, "So, Xiqi Corridor must have troops stationed and built defensive gates and cities. Just in case of emergencies."

Speaking of this, I returned to the original topic. Garrisoning troops and building pass cities require a lot of manpower and material resources, and the imperial court simply cannot provide them.

Ming Yu said confidently: "So I have an idea, that is to let willing merchants raise funds. If they want to go west for foreign trade, let them make a deposit. Only in this way can they go out of customs. And with this guarantee, we will send troops to protect the safety of the caravan, of course, if the escorts go on a trip, they always have to pay for the hard work."

For now, this is already the safest way. Sending out the army to protect the caravan can at least make Suixi have some scruples. They already have a weapon to deal with the cavalry, as long as the barbarians dare to come, they will be able to go back and forth.

"With this deposit, we can prepare in advance and raise troops to build a city. When the tax is actually collected, there will be no shortage of money. At that time, 10% of the tax will be enough for the next development. The remaining prince Brother jiāo is taken over by the imperial court, isn't that a great achievement of the prince's brother?"

Ming Yu's words have already made it clear that all the credit is given to the prince, and he does not take half of it, but only develops his own territory.

Ming Ye was very moved, and only the Fourteenth Brother could think of him like that. What Ming Yu said was justified and well-founded. If such a great contribution falls on his head, his position in the court will be unshakable.

It's just that he never thought that there would be such a way. This is almost a treaty of overlords. In this gentleman's social cognition, probably only Ming Yu can come up with such a rogue way.

"This... businessmen are all open to money. If they don't see anything, they have to pay a large sum of money in advance, so can they be willing?" Ming Ye didn't believe that this plan would work.

Ming Yu said with a smile: "How do you know if you don't try?"

Yes! Always have to try it to know the result.

Ming Ye is a smart person, how can he forget the righteousness because of small profits. He is in this position, and his vision is naturally good. If what Ming Yu said comes true, the prosperity of the country and the people will no longer be elusive. It was also a blessing for him.
