I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Zou Chang listened to Zou's brows. With so many silver taels, the treasury was running out of money. If this silver tael is collected into the household and the treasury is full, it can solve a major problem. Ugh! It's a pity that it's a pity, why did he let him raise it?

It's not just Zou Chang who has this kind of thinking, who in the court heard about this matter doesn't feel emotional? Thinking of what Ming Yu had done in the court before, I felt a little regretful. Originally, I thought that he was not enough, but now it seems that the Xiqi Corridor is imperative.

In the next ten years, the rich benefits of the developed Xiqi Corridor have nothing to do with the imperial court, which is a pity!

From the perspective of Lighting Yu’s plan, the tariffs on the Xiqi Corridor in the future alone will be able to cover the national tax revenue of the Ministry of Households for several years in one year. But now it's useless to go back on it, who told them to push it away with their own hands? However, after thinking about it ten years later, the Ministry of Household still hopes to take it back. Ugh! But who knows what will happen in the future?

After the bidding meeting, Ming Yu announced several local decrees with Liangzhou. The general idea is that from now on, Liangzhou welcomes businessmen to visit and invest.

Because the frontier land is not only trade in the Western Regions, but also has many local specialties, such as watermelon, corn, pepper and other crops that are not available in the Central Plains. Caravans can be transported to all parts of the Central Plains. Caravans are also welcome to go to Liangzhou to exchange supplies, such as materials that are lacking in the borderlands, as long as the caravans transport it, it is a business opportunity to make money.

Moreover, Liangzhou is now in a state of waste. As long as the caravan used to buy and sell easily, all parts of Liangzhou do not collect any tariffs. If the merchants buy and sell benevolent and righteous, abide by the law, and make a contribution to Liangzhou. Someone will make a special trip to record it, and the qualification to participate in the Xiqi Corridor will be rewarded at that time. That is, the quota for the second batch of tenders.

Many people were very excited. Some of them were not able to arrive at the first time, but the first batch of investment promotion meetings had already ended. They also know all the process and results of this bidding meeting, and they are jealous of these lucky first batch of merchants.

They want to ask Duan Wang to give them a chance, but Duan Wang has already sent a message, the first batch of places is limited, and for the time being, it can only be like this.

But now the second batch of places has come out, and the conditions are clearly there. As for whether or not to take this opportunity, it depends on how you choose.

The second batch is naturally not as strict as the first batch, and the threshold is high, which means that small businessmen can also have the opportunity to participate. However, its preferential policy of interest cannot be compared with it, but even so, it can make all businessmen flock to it.

After understanding the rules and regulations thoroughly, many businessmen still have some doubts. Liangzhou is a well-known poor place. When the goods are shipped, can the people there really afford it? At that time, don't transport it through untold hardships, and then no one cares, not to mention other things, just the transportation of human and material resources, then it will be a big loss.

Just as everyone was watching, the Ma family caravan had already started to pack up and set off. This incident has stimulated some people. Who is the Ma family? One of the four great masters in the capital, it can be regarded as the leading merchant family in the entire Dayan Dynasty.

With the Ma family taking the lead, everyone gritted their teeth. How would they know what was going on there if they didn't go to see it? Duan Wang is right, can you do an on-the-spot investigation first, and the actual situation cannot be counted until you see it with your own eyes? No matter what, go check it out.

Going back 10,000 steps, it would not be a loss to bring back a few watermelons from Liangzhou. I heard that the watermelon is also a rarity. It was the seeds that Duanwang's people brought back from the Western Regions, and now they have begun to be planted in a large area in Liangzhou.

Only the royal family and the dignitaries have been fortunate enough to eat it. I heard that this thing is very sweet and crispy, it is a superb good thing. Maybe you can bring it back and sell it at a high price, so you won't lose money.

As for the corn and chili that Duan Wang said, they had never heard of it, let alone seen it, so they didn't have to report too much hope.

"Brother Cheng, what a coincidence? Are you here too?" Tan Shan hurriedly greeted an acquaintance he saw.

He was one of the group that started late, mainly because the distance was too long, and when he heard that he had come over, he had no chance. At first, he sighed and annoyed, thinking that it was bad luck to run away in vain.

However, after hearing that at the tender meeting, the most inferior investment line cost 100,000 silver, he could only shake his head and sigh. People like them are not like big merchants, who can easily come up with so much money. Even if he didn't come a step late, I guess he is not qualified to enter that threshold, right?

Thinking of this, he also calmed down. Come on, you can't blame others, you can only blame yourself for being poor. This time I went to Beijing as a play, and I went back in two days.

Unexpectedly, Duan Wang issued a new local decree, which made him see an opportunity.

It's just that he, like most businessmen, hasn't decided whether to go to Liangzhou or not, which makes him a bit in a dilemma. After all, he didn't plan to go to Beijing at all.

Today, in this tavern, he also wants to hear other people's opinions and see what he should do. Unexpectedly, I saw Cheng Guangsheng, a fellow countryman.

Like him, Cheng Guangsheng is also a businessman. He owns several cloth houses and a tea house in his family. He has a wealthy family.
