I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

"Fourth, under the current situation, major businessmen can only choose Dawu!

Lin Beifan smiled and said:"Now, everyone in the world knows that all the major vassal kings have the intention to rebel and are hostile to our court!" If you do business with the feudal lord, you will definitely not be accepted by my court! The major vassal kings hate each other again! Therefore, merchants can only do business with one of the forces!"

"Such a horizontal comparison shows that our court has a large amount of raw material resources, the cement produced is of high quality and low price, and it also has a broad market. Only businessmen who are stupid will choose others!

The empress clapped her hands again:"Okay, okay!" well said!"

"Fifth, in addition to giving the major businessmen cement distribution rights, we also gave them generous tax incentives. However, the major vassals only want to make money, so they will not be favored by the major businessmen!"

"And sixth! Lin

Beifan glanced at the civil and military officials on the left and right, and said with a smile:"We have the opportunity to attract all the rich people in the world!" They have invested massive resources in our new city, and the cost is huge, and they must be rewarded!"

"If you switch to someone else at this time, you will never get back this loss! Therefore, they have been tied to my Dawu ship, and they have no choice but to choose me, Dawu! The empress laughed heartily, clapped her hands and said,"Ai Qing, what you said is so good!" I was a little worried before, but now after listening to your words, I find that there is no need to worry at all!"

The other officials looked at Lin Beifan's proud expression and secretly said something sinister.

At this time, in the land of Northern Hebei, the King of Northern Hebei was still dreaming of the spring and autumn dream of getting rich.

Almost every day, he called the military adviser over for questioning.

"Military Advisor, how is the investment recruitment going now? How many people have signed up?"The King of Northern Hebei asked earnestly.

Military Advisor Mr. Zhuge handed over his hand very calmly:"Your Majesty, the investment invitation has just been announced to the world, and the work has just begun, so there are currently no wealthy businessmen coming to sign up! However, my subordinates believe that in a few days, there will be many people responding!"

The King of Jibei patted the military advisor on the shoulder happily:"The military advisor is right, I am too anxious!"

Another day later, the King of Jibei called the military advisor over again.

"Military advisor, how is the situation today?

Mr. Zhuge remained calm:"Prince Qi, there is still no one to sign up!" My subordinates are suspicious. They just received the news yesterday and just set off to Northern Hebei Province today. There should be good news in the next two days!"

The King of Jibei smiled all over his face:"What the military advisor said is absolutely true! There should be good news coming in the next two days tomorrow!"

On the third day, King Jibei couldn't help but call his military advisor again.

"Military advisor, what is the situation today? Are there any wealthy businessmen coming to invest?

Mr. Zhuge said calmly:"Your Majesty, no one is coming today!" Maybe I'm tired from the long journey. I'll take a day off to prepare for points and then come back tomorrow! After all, these big businessmen are very particular about etiquette, so it’s not surprising that many people are polite! Prince, you have been waiting for my good news!"

"Military Advisor, I believe in you!"

On the 4th day, the 5th day...

Every day, the King of Northern Hebei called the military adviser for questioning.

However, the news he received was no one, and the matter made almost no progress.

Gradually, Mr. Zhuge became uneasy. It's been

5 days, why haven't you seen anyone?

On Lin Beifan's side, on the second day of the announcement, a group of wealthy businessmen came from the capital in droves.

On the third day, wealthy businessmen from surrounding cities came..

On the fourth day, the famous families and wealthy businessmen from afar also arrived.

Every day that followed, it can be described as a crowd of people and a bustling crowd.

Why was the situation completely opposite when I came to him?

In 5 days, , not a single soul could be seen, and the door was deserted and miserable!

Where had these wealthy businessmen gone?

Couldn’t they have gone to other vassal kings?

Gradually, the King of Jibei also He became a little impatient:"Military advisor, it's been almost a week, why can't I see anyone? Even if you are in Wuxi, you can still come here. Can you explain to me? Mr. Zhuge was sweating profusely:"

Your Majesty, my subordinates suspect that there may be some problems!""

"What exactly is the problem?"The king of Jibei asked

"This...this……"Mr. Zhuge's face became sweatier. rack your brains and weave excuses.

But this situation was noticed by the King of Jibei. He looked unhappy, snorted, and left with his hands behind his hands:"Military advisor, if there is no good news tomorrow, you can figure it out!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say……"Mr. Zhuge rushed out in pursuit, but could not catch up with the prince.

His heart was filled with bitterness, because he knew that the prince was really angry.

The angry prince is terrifying!

"It seems that this can only be done for the time being!"Mr. Zhuge gritted his teeth.

At night, he invited the wealthy businessmen in the city.

As a result, he only saw two or three kittens, and the business scale was only over two or three thousand taels. Many of them couldn't name them, and he frowned:"Why? It’s just you, where are the others?

The businessmen present looked at each other. One of the more prestigious businessmen raised his hands and smiled bitterly:"Mr. Zhuge, the others have already left Northern Hebei and went to do business outside!"

Mr. Zhuge frowned again:"Going out to do business?" Isn’t it good to be in Northern Hebei?"

"this……"The businessmen looked at each other in silence and did not answer.

Only then did Mr. Zhuge realize that the previous problem of horse bandits had a great impact, even greater than he imagined!

"Forget it, let’s not talk about them today! Mr. Zhuge changed the topic and showed a smile that he thought was friendly:"Today, I called you here because I have a good fortune for you!" As long as you hold on tightly, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money and make money every day!"

"Mr. Zhuge, what kind of fate is this?"Someone

"Have you heard of cement, the magic tool for house building? Mr. Zhuge said in a seductive tone:"Our palace can also produce cement!" So, here is your chance to make a fortune!"

After explaining the matter, Mr. Zhuge left with satisfaction.

He believed that these businessmen would be ecstatic and grateful after knowing that they had the opportunity to obtain the cement distribution rights.

In this way, he could explain it to the prince.

However, After he left, the businessmen present looked bitter.

"If I had known earlier, we would have run away too!"

"You also said you would give us the distribution rights of cement? snort! They are clearly trying to make money from us!"

"Yes, if you want to obtain the cement distribution rights, you must first pay a lot of materials! But after the horse bandits, how can we have any money?"

"Even if we get the right to distribute cement, where will we be able to sell it if there are poor people everywhere?"

"Your Majesty, then you want to drive us to death with nothing but nothing!"

"I'm afraid that if I get rich, there will be another round of horse bandits! Alas, this life is really unbearable!"

……

At this time, an older businessman gritted his teeth and said,"Comrades, it's still too late to run! If we don't run, we really have no way to survive!"

They looked at each other and nodded heavily.

On the second day, in the palace.

The King of Jibei once again called Mr. Zhuge

"Military advisor, how is the situation now? I want to listen to the truth, don’t try to fool me!"

This time, Mr. Zhuge was full of confidence. He patted his chest and said,"My lord, don't worry! In fact, some wealthy businessmen contacted me last night and said they were very interested in cement! After one more stick of incense, they will come hand in hand!

"Yeah? I happen to have time and will wait with you!"The King of Jibei smiled happily.

As a result, after one stick of incense passed, there was still no one in sight.

Another time after another stick of incense, there was still no one in sight.

The face of King Jibei gradually became gloomy, and he looked at Zhuge There was anger in Mr. Zhuge's eyes.

Mr. Zhuge panicked and said:"Your Majesty, they may be delayed for something. I will ask someone to rush them here!"

As a result, the person who called him came back quickly:"Mr. Zhuge, it's not good!" When my subordinates went to their home and store, they found that they were deserted! They all... ran away!"

"What? Ran?"Mr. Zhuge collapsed.

The other vassal kings also had a bad end.

In the land of Jiangnan, merchants gathered, and it stands to reason that they should be able to find cement dealers.

However, King Jiangnan looked sad.

At the beginning, King Jiangnan asked Major wealthy businessmen sent invitations to sell cement, and received a relatively positive response.

But when they heard that they could only exchange for food, their faces immediately changed, and they all refused.

Because they had experienced the flood disaster and the soaring fire. , food can be said to be in short supply in Jiangnan, and the price has even reached 3 to 4 times the normal price. There is a price but no market, and many people cannot afford food. Even wealthy businessmen do not have much food on hand. They can only provide for their own people.

At this time, the king of Jiangnan wanted to exchange cement for food. Isn't this a riot?

People can live without housing, but they can't live without food!

So the two sides started a quarrel, and the cement business was ruined.

At this time, Wang Fugui came back with a sad face.

King Jiangnan asked with hope:"How about it? Can they agree?" I have already sold the cement at a discount!"

Wang Fugui spread his hands, with a bitter look on his face:"Your Majesty, they still refuse to change, but they can do it with money! King Jiangnan jumped up in anger:"

Is this king short of money?" What this king is short of is food! Go back and tell them that I only want food! Just food! Just food!"

At this time, a general ran over:"Your Majesty, there is not enough food! If there is no more food to eat, the soldiers below will cause trouble! What should I do? King Jiangnan's eyes flashed fiercely:"

Since they don't cooperate, I can only rob them!""

In the end, the cement business was still not completed, but King Jiangnan robbed all the food brought by the merchants, which made the merchants dare not speak out and became a laughing stock.

The land of Wuxi.

With the strong support of King Wuxi , Mr. Fengchu held a grand investment conference.

As a result, no one came on the day of the conference, and it was a lonely event!
