Chapter 6 Governing Korea (3)
"Oh, Shopkeeper Xing, long time no see, where can I get rich?" A slightly fat middle-aged businessman bowed to a thin businessman and said, "Shopkeeper Xing, Sun Ming is polite."
Manager Xing hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Shopkeeper Sun, please give me a good word. Xing is still asking for food in the old place."
Sun Ming said: "Shopkeeper Xing, you are too humble. Who doesn't know that your Shopkeeper Xing manages a lot of business, hotels, hotels, car dealers, fur goods, satin shops, and medicinal materials. No matter which one is left to you, Shopkeeper Xing."
Manager Xing shook his hands and said, "Detidi, Manager Sun, I only have a little business and can only earn some money for food and drink. If you say this, I will become a rich man."
"You are the one!" Sun Ming smiled and asked, "Shopkeeper Xing, are you here to build a road today?"
Manager Xing hurriedly said, "I'm so serious, but I'm so serious. I don't want to build a road. I think it's new, so I just come and take a look."
"I think you want to see if you can make a fortune after repairing it." Sun Ming exposed again.
Manager Xing refused to admit it and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Passing levels have always been set up by the government, and the government collects money. How can we do the principle of repairing it for us merchants? I think it's new. Come and take a look, just take a look, but I didn't think about repairing it."
Sun Ming stopped arguing with Manager Xing and nodded, "Yes, this is the first time. I sounded quite fresh, and I was curious for a moment and came over to take a look. I am much more honest than Manager Xing. If this is true, I think I want to take on some work. This is a treasure pot. If I don't follow it, you and I will be a businessman in vain."
Manager Xing nodded and said, "Xing wants to go ahead, but this road needs to be repaired for a long time. With my financial resources, I can only repair it for a very small period of time. Even if I want to take it, I can't take it."
Sun Ming scratched his head and said, "This is indeed a problem, let's talk about it later."
"Yes, let's talk about it." Manager Xing agreed.
The King of Qin approved Zhou Chong's suggestion to build roads, and Zhou Chong immediately implemented it. He first posted a notice to announce the road construction. The merchants did not know how to govern the country, but they knew how to make money and immediately smelled the benefits. Qin State was the strongest, Xianyang was the center of China, and there was no idea how much carriages and horses traveling between Xianyang. If they controlled the roads themselves, they would not know how much money they collected. It was much higher than the profits they made in other businesses, and they would have the truth that they would not come to see them.
The hundreds of merchants in the room, one of them, did not come with this kind of thought, were whispering and talking nonstop.
Qin was known as a tiger and wolf. Although the merchants were driven by profit, they were still a little uneasy. Unexpectedly, the soldiers who received them were particularly polite to them and did not act arrogantly. They served them with hot water and snacks in a very thorough manner.
"Quiet, quiet, please be quiet." A loud-sounding Tiger Bear guard came out of it and shouted loudly.
The merchants who were discussing immediately calmed down and looked at the Hu Ben Guard. The Hu Ben Guard said, "I would like to invite Lord Zhou, General Wang, General Historian, and Lord Shen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chong led Wang Jian, Nei Shiteng and Shen Qing to strode. Except for Shen Qing, the other three of them were famous, especially Zhou Chong was famous all over the world. The merchant held his breath and watched the four of them strode.
The four of them came to the middle and stood one by one. Zhou Chong stood in the middle, glanced at the merchant, pressed his hands down, and said, "Dear shopkeepers, please sit, please sit."
When I first saw a big man like Zhou Chong, the businessmen were so excited that they didn't react. They stood still. Zhou Chong smiled slightly and said again: "Dear shopkeepers, please sit down, please sit down. Don't be nervous. Zhou Chong invited you to discuss business with you. You will treat me as your customer."
As the atmosphere relaxed, the merchants thanked and sat down.
Zhou Chong greeted Wang Jian and the others and sat down, and said, "Dear shopkeepers, you have read the notice, and I won't say much." After the opening remarks, Zhou Chong walked to the map and pointed to the map and said, "This road connects to Hangu Pass in the west, passes through Xinzheng, and to Zhao in the east. I can reveal a piece of information to you. Daqin is discussing with Zhao State that this road will be built to Handan."
Connect Xianyang and Xinzheng together, there are many business opportunities. Then build it to Handan. You should know that Handan is the capital of Zhao State, with a large population and a very prosperous one, so there are many business opportunities. The merchants were in a panic and were talking nonsense in front of Zhou Chong and others.
This is a great thing about the pie falling from the sky, and no one can accept it at once. Zhou Chong understood their feelings very much and did not interrupt them immediately. After a while, he said: "You are all smart people, and I don't need to say anything about it. The Qin Dynasty originally wanted to send people to practice it. The king was kind and kind. Considering that the world's wars were endless, the people's corrupt labor was too heavy and they were unwilling to increase the burden on the people, they handed over this path to the people to practice it. I hope you don't let the king down."
Sun Ming stood up and introduced himself: "Mr. Zhou, the grass-roots Sun Ming, dare to ask Lord Zhou, how to practice?"
Zhou Chong smiled and said to him: "Shopkeeper Sun, please sit down. If you have any questions, you don't have to stand up. Today, we are talking about business. There are no adults, only partners, and there is no need to be polite. Manager Sun asked this question well. How to repair it depends on the shopkeepers. Daqin only asks you the construction process, manpower and financial scheduling, Daqin will not ask about it."
When dealing with the government, what they fear is not that the government uses power to suppress others. What they fear most is that they point fingers and make trouble. Qin State just asks about the process. As long as the result is, it is tantamount to giving them full power and allowing them to play freely. Although the merchants have rich experience in business, they are the first encounter, and they are unacceptable for a while. After being stunned for a while, the house is in an uproar again.
Manager Xing suddenly stood up and asked, "May I ask, Lord Zhou, take it seriously?"
"The official has no joke!" Zhou Chong answered affirmatively, saying, "You all know that the laws of the Qin Dynasty are as good as a mountain. They can't ask, but they must not ask." Although Qin scolded the six countries as a country of tigers and wolfs, the reputation of Qin is still very high among the people of the six countries. The merchants had to believe it, and said, "That's easy."
Zhou Chong continued: "This road is very long and the project is huge. It requires hundreds of thousands of manpower and millions of silver. All the shopkeepers are all big business people, but it is difficult to get so much silver at once."
His words were spoken to the merchants. They all felt sorry for this matter and said in unison: "Yes!"
"I can give you a little advice, please consider it." Zhou Chong was very humble.
