Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 361 Xuzhou Guild Hall
To say that this Su Shuang is really a character!If it is placed in later generations, it is estimated that he must be one of the real estate tycoons or Internet tycoons, let's see his investment vision!In the early days, he traded horses, and then jointly invested in Liu Bei with Zhang Shiping. Most of Liu Bei’s men and horses and equipment in Pingyuan County were funded by two people. After Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, Liu Bei was beaten away, and he stayed. Now the sea trade from Xuzhou to Qingzhou, The Chen family is No. [-] in food, and his Su Shuang family is the No. [-] in the import and export of various groceries!
He has dabbled in as far as Bashu, Jingzhou in the south, and the Liaodong ginseng, mink, antler and medicinal materials market opened in the north!

Especially now that Lu Ji is in charge, Wang Hou's own trading company is also doing a big business with him, sugar and tea business!Use the sugar and wine produced in Daocheng to go to the south of the Yangtze River in exchange for high-quality tea.

Tea is so important. How did the British conquer the world?Black tea in one hand and a rifle in one hand to conquer the world!Although this thing doesn't matter how full it is, it is rich in several vitamins. Drinking tea regularly can prevent multiple diseases and epidemic diseases. Using it on the march is like putting an insurance sticker for the army.

Why did Li Zicheng of the later generation conquer the capital city so quickly, and why was he beaten up by the Qing Dynasty so quickly?It was because of the great plague that was prevalent in North China at that time. Whether it was the Ming army or the Shun army, their combat effectiveness dropped rapidly after infection. However, the Qing army took advantage of it, and the autumn cool disease weakened after entering the customs. Moreover, the main force of the Qing army did not enter the capital division of the severely affected area. Watching Li Zicheng shave his buttocks and shave his head, he escaped the epidemic.

It can be seen that the threat of epidemics to the army is even greater than that of tens of thousands of enemies.

But even such a capable businessman is still nothing in front of Wang Hou. It can be seen that the status of businessmen in this era is really too low. Wang Hou called him to a single room in the college cafeteria. This old man with a big beard The guy couldn't help clasping his fists and bowing tremblingly, asking for advice in fear.

"I don't know what instructions the state pastor has for recruiting villains? But do you want villains to sponsor military supplies?"

In the eyes of the warlords these days, merchants are raised as pigs. Now I have an agreement with you to cut off a piece of pork. If you don’t know how to praise, you will kill the whole pig!Su Shuang was mentally prepared for this.

However, Wang Hou's words made him feel overwhelmed, and he was also confused. Wang Hou also yelled a little unhappy: "Does this official look like he is too poor to support soldiers?"

Before Su Shuang trembled with fright, Wang Hou quickly stated his purpose again.

"Honshu Mu wants to recruit you to serve as an official in Qingzhou!"

The most successful businessman these days is none other than the Mi family. For Liu Bei, he asked people to ask for money from others, and his sister to give to his sister, and even the whole family followed him to fight against him. , Mi's family hasn't recovered the cost yet!

In contrast, Su Shuang didn’t think that doing business with Qingzhou was quite big, but he really didn’t make any special contribution to Wang Hou. Wang Hou actually wanted to give him an official position and conscript him into an official position, which made him really feel like he was in heaven. Pie feeling.

But this old guy really deserves to be a successful businessman. After being excited for a moment, he clasped his fists solemnly and asked again.

"I don't know what is the order of the state pastor?"

"Qingzhou Mufu has city cao rafters, with a rank ratio of four hundred stones, and the number of people is uncertain! I plan to enlist you as city cao rafters, but you are not the only one. Among the businessmen from Xuzhou, I will enlist three city cao rafters. The general merchant is in charge of the import and export trade tax rates of this island city port!"

"Your duty is to organize all the import and export merchants in Xuzhou into a guild. You also have to organize special manpower, investigate the market, specify import and export prices, and collect taxes by you. From then on, my tax department will only care about you. Asking for money, I also grant you the right to punish profiteers who evade taxes and shoddy. You can impose a fine or expel him from the guild. As long as it is my Wang Hou's port, Xuzhou non-guild merchant ships are not allowed to rely on Shore management!"

This right, if it is said to be small, it is only concerned with some businessmen's affairs, but it can be said to be too big!Almost all the businessmen in Qingxu were under his control, and Su Shuang's old face couldn't help but become extraordinarily dignified when he heard it.

A while ago, he also heard the news that the black port near the island city and the tax evasion incident made Jia Xu very annoyed. It seems that Wang Hou started to deal with the port affairs when he came back.

To be honest, this official position is really a double-edged sword. When you become the general merchant, your family's status is considered stable, but if you work hard and conscientiously, you will offend your peers, especially the peers with higher status in Qingzhou. Wang Hou first supports him Xuzhou businessmen, just to make an example to those scheming Qingzhou gentry, if they are not serious?Wang Qingzhou didn't run a philanthropic hall either!At that time, it will be difficult to get out of the whole body.

In fact, it is impossible not to agree!Wang Hou personally came to the door!If you don't agree, you still want to hang out in this area?But the matter was so important that for a while Su Shuang was really tangled and embarrassed.

Seeing his hesitation, Wang Hou had no choice but to throw out the bait again.

"If Su Weng handles this errand well, I will invite you to the imperial court for you. County men and county sons are all negotiable!"

"Thank you, Zhou Mu, for your support! My villain..., I'm going to run an errand right now!"

Why are the people willing to join the army and fight these days?Conferring meritorious service on the battlefield is the fastest way to improve your family's social status!Now you can do business too!From a lowly businessman to a noble lord!Who can not agree?Almost without any further hesitation, Su Shuang clasped her fists and agreed.

Seeing that the old boy was in pain and happiness, his old face was suffocated like he had Parkinson's, and he went out the door while trembling, Wang Hou couldn't help but let out a heavy groan in relief.

Or Brits, what fueled their ambition to conquer half the world?Business!If these businessmen are raised, their ambition and aggressiveness will be much stronger than the landlords who guard their own one-third of an acre of land and make a small fortune. Now that they have made a plan to develop in Liaodong in the future, they must build a support for their own war machine class!Then it is imminent to improve the status of these merchants and let them follow him to open up Liaodong and march to the grasslands.

As for tidying up the current chaotic import and export order of the island city port, it is secondary!

On the Xuzhou businessman side, starting from Su Shuang was a start. When he puts up the signboard of the Xuzhou Guild Hall and the policy is tilted towards him, those exiled families or local families in Qidi will not be able to sit still!When the time comes to find someone to be your spokesperson?

Tian?No, that old guy Tian Rang is too cunning and cunning!You need to choose someone who has the ability but needs to rely on your own power!

When Wang Hou was pinching his chin and thinking, he was next to the newly built Laoshan College, and on the hillside, his own little one was also very busy.

"School bag! Luggage! Lunch box! Tableware! It's all here! Look, in order to play with you, your father has spent so much effort to build such a big college for you!"

Changle is going to transfer here to go to school too, so she put off all the work. It’s rare that Cao Hongjie is like a good wife and mother, helping her pack things while coaxing her. Unfortunately, she really deserves to be Wang Hou’s daughter. The big-eyed benevolence, Changle hums with the disdain of an adult.

"Isn't it because you and Dad have important things to do and left me here!"

"Eh~ You can't say that, wouldn't you be with Aunt Zhen?"

The smile froze there, Cao Hongjie, the irresponsible mother, forced a sad smile to argue, and Chang Le rolled her eyes again.

On the other end, Zhen Mi, who was packing up her things, was humming a little tune in a brisk mood. This made Wang Hou add wax to the hemp rope and small leather whip. She thought that she would be locked up by him when she arrived in Qingzhou, but she never expected In fact, Wang Hou actually gave her a job as a teacher to teach poetry at Laoshan College, and she and Changle also lived in this small house.

Female teacher!She really has a sense of freedom like a caged bird flying out of the cage!

"Aunt Zhen! Someone is looking outside!"

But just as Zhen Mi was packing her luggage, the dull little Deng Ai ran up!
