The most powerful tyrant of the Sui Dynasty

It was still the big-bellied copper coin Tongbao merchant who stood up and led the crowd to ask. Although he asked questions, he did not bid, and he had been carefully observing Yang Guang's expression and listening carefully to what Yang Guang said.

"I want to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, connecting the north and the south, and the river transportation will be unimpeded. Naturally, I can't let you use it in vain, so I have to arrange checkpoints in each broken river and collect tolls.

Now, I will hand over the construction of this Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to your merchants, and all investors will share dividends according to the proportion of their capital contributions, and the fees charged at each checkpoint every year, until your capital contributions will be paid off together with the principal and interest of the bank.

At the same time, all the businessmen, all the investors, all the transport goods through the customs, the charges will be halved, this article has been effective, everyone, think, this business, can still be done?"

While talking, Yang Guang glanced at all the businessmen present.

To put it simply, it is to raise funds to build the Grand Canal, and I will not only not want any of the money you pay, but when the time comes, I will return it to you in full, and the interest will be calculated. At the same time, those who contribute to your capital will provide preferential policies in the future, and the fee for passing the checkpoint will be reduced by half.

And these are all dictated by the emperor himself, naturally it will not be like those local officials said, the credibility is not high, as soon as Chrysostom is opened, it will inevitably be done, so it is a guarantee of credibility.

This time, everyone's faces were full of excitement, obviously very happy about this matter, especially some big businessmen, who were doing business in the north and south, and they understood the benefits of this matter.

As long as the Grand Canal is completed one day earlier, they will be able to quickly send their goods to the north and south, and quickly occupy the local market.

"Your Majesty, how should this business be calculated?"

That being said, people who do business are still very shrewd, and some people ask for details right away.

"I am going to set up a special department, called the Grand Canal Yamen, to be responsible for the transportation of the entire Grand Canal. I want half of the dividends, and the remaining half will be accounted for by the people of the yamen according to the amount of capital contributed, and the accounts will be managed by you. Although this yamen is state-owned, it is freely selected by merchants such as Er. "

Yang Guang knew that these people began to ask, indicating that this business was already promising.

Those who are not afraid of buying goods do not ask about the goods, and they are afraid that those who buy goods do not know the goods.

Since he began to discuss the details, Yang Guang naturally regarded himself as a businessman and began to bargain.

"Then if we make false accounts, Your Majesty, you don't know. "

Ha ha..

In the crowd, one person suddenly shouted loudly, which immediately provoked laughter.

"Doing business with me, who dares to fake!"

In an instant, the breath of the Son of Heaven leaked a little, and suddenly the temperature in the entire restaurant dropped by a few points.

"Your Majesty is angry. "

A spirit, all the businessmen trembled. But it disappeared quickly, and everyone knew that this guy had provoked Yang Guang, and suddenly a few people around him knew who said it, and immediately pushed him out and knelt on the ground together.

"I'm not a little timid, this business hasn't been done yet, so I'm thinking about it, okay, this matter will be handed over to you and the people of the Universiade Yamen to check the accounts, if you miss a tael of silver, I will take care of you. "

"Haha. "

Yang Guang looked at the businessman who was trembling on the ground, and then said.

Everyone saw that Yang Guang said this on purpose, and they were stunned for a moment, and they all laughed.

"Accounts, I am not worried, this time I built the Grand Canal, not for the world's merchants, but for the soldiers of the Great Sui. I still remember the last battle with the Southern Song Dynasty, as you all know, my Great Sui soldiers were strong and strong, and they defeated the Southern Song Dynasty. But how many people know how many men and horses my Great Sui has sent?"

Yang Guang knew that these businessmen had doubts in their hearts.

In order for business to run smoothly, it is necessary to eliminate these doubts. The country has no silver, I believe that these businessmen can also guess a few points, can the power of the country, why do they have to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in such a hurry, and do not hesitate to cooperate with them, the fundamental reason, if they don't say it, they still won't give more silver.

Although there is interest, for the real big businessmen, it is better to exchange for goods, and after a few laps, they can exchange for greater profits, which is much more than the interest earned.

"The villain was in Zhennan City at that time, and I heard that it was only 60,000 horses. "

A businessman who was there at the time stood up and said proudly, with an excited face.

"Yes, to be exact, only fifty thousand. "

Outcry.

Although Yang Guang nodded affirmatively, everyone gasped.

50,000 horses almost wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty, how powerful and mighty this is.

"You think it is mighty, but I am worried. Our Great Sui is not without soldiers, the soldiers in the north are all one as ten, not without money and food, and the wealth of the south is known to the whole country. Because of this, it is being transported, and if you want more soldiers to go to the battlefield to serve the country, you must have more food and grass, and more soldiers will be sent to the front line. And to transport more grain and grass, it is really difficult to sustain it by land alone. "

Seeing that all the businessmen were proud and proud, Yang Guang said.

All the merchants immediately understood why Yang Guang did not send more soldiers, not because he was unwilling, but because he was too late to transport.

"Now that my Great Sui stands above the whole world, all countries think that my Great Sui is vulnerable, although there is this battle to be powerful, but what about next time?"

Once the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, no matter how much money there is at that time, I am afraid that it will be useless.

Yang Guang expressed the meaning here, that is, while doing business with these businessmen, he also wanted to arouse their patriotic heart.

"The construction of the Grand Canal is not only beneficial to you, but also to the people and the country.

This time, I prepared to dig the Grand Canal, and gathered 20 million taels of silver in advance, and the one with the largest capital contribution first invested in the construction of the Grand Canal, from more to less, until the deadline of raising 20 million taels of silver. If this batch of silver is not enough to dig the Grand Canal, the next batch of shareholders will be raised, and at the same time, the fee for ten years will be halved. "

In the end, Yang Guang revealed his specific plan and inventory.

If you want to do business with the emperor, not everyone is qualified, naturally the one with the highest price wins. At the same time, in the early stage, Yang Guang did not know how much silver taels were needed to dig the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so he simply raised a batch of them first, and then raised a second batch when the flowers were almost done.

At the same time, a section was built, which can be navigated first for profit, and directly let the shareholders enjoy, and part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been completed. You can even gather the wisdom of all people, and take the section that is the most profitable and used most frequently first.

In this way, whether it is the benefit of the person who has invested in the shares, or the businessman who has not invested in the shares, seeing the benefits, can quickly obtain silver for the construction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
