"Yes, Your Majesty, these things are in great demand. The people of Qin State lack the technology of white sugar, while the people of Chu State directly control the production of sugar. In this way, the two companies make a lot of money. On the contrary, we, whether it is brown sugar business, It's still a sugar business, and the profit is not high," Zhang Liang said.

"Is this candy unique to the South?" Han Shu asked.

"Yes." Zhang Liang replied.

"That's right. Since the south is unique and our island is further south, why don't we grow sugar ourselves. Production of sugar, not only sugar, but also tea, aren't these the projects we are looking for?" Han Shu asked at this time road.

Text 2093 is absolutely true

"Think about it. The latitude of our islands is lower than that of the Wuyue region of Chu State. Under such circumstances, they can grow and produce sugar, why can't we." Han Shu said.

"Besides, sugar and tea are huge profits. The aristocrats of the Chu State imposed high taxes and restricted exports to increase the price of sugar and tea. This is very unfavorable to us." Han Shu said.

"Qin people can still earn processing fees, but we lose money doing this kind of business. Many of our trading companies are unwilling to do this kind of business. What is the reason? It is because we in Korea do not have such an advantage, and the profits are all lost by Chu State. Someone took it." Han Shu said with some dissatisfaction.

"This time, our war against Chu is not so much about fighting for our Korean fox's access to the sea, it is better to say that we are fighting for trade, to reduce tariffs, and to break Chu's monopoly on tea and sugar. War." Han Shu said dissatisfied.

"Tea, sugar caused war." Zhang Liang said.Within the scope of his understanding, it is simply unimaginable that these two things could trigger a war between South Korea and Chu.

"It doesn't matter. We in South Korea will break the blockade of Chu State in the future. In the southern islands, in my opinion, in addition to growing food, we also need to grow such economic crops. Such economic crops are sugar cane and tea. With these two things, we can largely suppress the advantages of Chu State in the agricultural economy, and the development of the southern islands will be much easier." Han Shu said.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, our southern islands also need more funds for development, and the current commercial banks have just begun. To develop Southeast Asia, more ships and more funds are needed to focus on agricultural production. If If we cannot meet such demands, the development of Nanyang may be difficult to carry out." Zhang Liang said.

"Well. Since no one is going to do it, let's do it. If we do this, it will be very beneficial to us." Han Shu said.

"That's right. We have introduced a large number of agricultural talents from the Qin State. We have to try it out extensively. With so many talents, we may not be able to grow sugar cane." Han Shu said.

"En." Zhang Liang nodded↓ In addition to the introduction of talents, the investment in agriculture is not as much as that in industry, especially in machinery, it is the investment in railways, and the investment in railways is also very large.The investment in agriculture is relatively less.

"Well, how about this, I thought about it. We set up a tea, sugar production, sale, and transportation company. With such a company, if it starts to operate, it will be very fast. This matter must be fast, we have to rush Before the sugarcane matures, the whole summer has not really started, and the required funds will be withdrawn from my treasury." Han Shu thought for a while and said.

"If we do this, wouldn't the royal family's expenses be cut again?" Zhang Liang said worriedly.Zhang Liang knew very well that in order to revive South Korea, Han Shu repeatedly reduced the royal family's expenditures, and any unnecessary expenditures of the royal family were cut.This is the most unusual among the Seven Kingdoms. For example, the kings of all countries have their own palaces, but Han Shu alone does not have a palace. She gave up the palace to the University of Korea.No other king has this kind of thing.

"Don't talk about it. This matter is settled like this. If the trading company can bring more profits, will I still be short of money in the future? Now I have many enterprises, from banks to factories, from factories to factories. I have been involved in trading companies and transportation industries. Speaking of which, the Prime Minister seems to have very little business." Han Shu asked at this time.

"This." Zhang Liang bowed his head and said.

"The things I care about are different." Zhang Liang said.

"I can't do that. I can't let those who contribute to South Korea be poor. Those who follow me can't be rich? Qin's generals and civil servants all have their own enterprises. They may participate in banks. In short, they Wealth is not wrong, and it is brave to develop for the sake of wealth, wealth is not a crime, the prime minister can let it go, and with the prime minister's talent, wealth will never be inferior to me." Han Shu sincerely encouraged.Han Shu really hopes that all of her subordinates can be as rich as an enemy. In this case, the financial and taxation problems in South Korea will be greatly resolved.She has always hoped to be able to hide wealth from the people like Qin, and Qin really did it.Qin State’s financial revenue is not much, but the private capital mobilization ability is hundreds of times more than the financial figure. This ability is something that Qin State has never had. If South Korea can do this, then South Korea will not have to be afraid of Qin State. .

"I really hope that all of you have money and wealth. Now I understand what Shangwen said about the power of capital. Capital is not only very profitable, but also very expansive. Carefully Think about it, money is going to make more money, and how to make money requires expansion, and constant expansion. Before we started a war with Chu, who would have dared to think like this. And the purpose of the war was not to get tea, but behind the sugar Huge profits? The aristocrats of the Chu state cut off this road. We must do this kind of business to quickly accumulate a lot of wealth. Now no one dares to do this, so I will do it. Anyway, this battle must be settled .” Han Shu made up her mind.

"Yeah." Zhang Liang said.

Inside the Chu Chamber of Commerce.

"Young Master, Young Master, I have very urgent news, it's from our state of Chu. Young Master." A middle-aged businessman knocked anxiously on the door of Young Master Chengchu's room.

"It's coming." Lu Chu was a little annoyed, but he still tried his best to restrain himself. He knew that these businessmen were very powerful, even though they looked very weak now.But they do take advantage.

"What news?" Negative Chu asked as he opened the door.

"It's very important, can I come in and talk about it?" the middle-aged businessman asked, but the middle-aged businessman had already come in.Seeing this situation, Negative Chu made way for the other party to come in.

"What news?" Negative Chu asked.

"I got the news from Qin's Ministry of National Defense that South Korea is going to attack our Chu country." The middle-aged businessman said as soon as he entered the door.

"What?" Negative Chu was taken aback by what the other party said.

"South Korea is going to attack our state of Chu. This is the exact news. According to the news from the Ministry of Defense of Qin State, the South Korean army has arrived in Qi State. They are ready." The middle-aged businessman continued.

"This. Is this true?" Negative Chu confirmed again.

"It's true, absolutely true." The middle-aged businessman said.

BODY 2094 Tradeoffs

"Is this news true?" Negative Chu still asked in disbelief.

"It's true, according to the news from Qin's Ministry of National Defense, and judging from the latest news, South Korea has indeed gone too far. Building roads in Qi State. And the carriage industry is like this. Who would spend so much money?" There is a lot of money to build such a road. If it is not for military use, I am afraid that no government or country will spend so much money to do such a thing. Doing such a thing can only show that South Korea is using it for military purposes. " said the middle-aged businessman.

"Young master, if you think about it again, the military transfers in South Korea are very strange recently. The troops for the exercise have not returned. Moreover, military supplies are constantly being transported to the country of Qi. We have already found out. The things we transport are military Materials, except for some ammunition, which are completed by army supply vehicles, most of them still rely on us to deliver." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Well. In this way, South Korea is indeed going to attack our Chu country. The question is, why do they do this? I can't figure it out." Negative Chu said.

"This is very simple. I think South Korea is taking over Haikou, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Exit to the sea?" Negative Chu asked.

"Yeah! Haikou, my lord, you can think about it. South Korea has foxes, but Zhao doesn't have them. Our Chu State is still a naval force, and South Korea and Qin are both foxes. Qin's foxes don't have a seaport. The state of Chu blocked the Yangtze River, so they couldn’t come out. However, South Korea has no access to the sea. There was an agreement between Qi State and South Korea that they would cede Langya to the Koreans. The main reason for giving Qi a lot of aid." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Nowadays, Koreans need overseas trade for a lot of things. Tea from the South can be smuggled to the North. Things from the South Seas, such as some precious wood, ivory, and coral, all come from the sea. These are all sea goods. .I heard that a Korean merchant ship was seized by the nobles of Chu State before. I think that South Korea will never accept this matter again.” The middle-aged businessman said.

"You mean, this is the direct reason for South Korea to send troops?" Negative Chu asked.

"Yes. The Ministry of Defense of Qin State also said the same thing." The middle-aged businessman said.

"No matter what? Son, we should think about what we should do in this matter? This matter has already happened. We can't wait like this." The middle-aged businessman said.

"What do you mean?" Negative Chu asked.

"How much profit can we gain in such a war? You must know that we Chu businessmen are not from Chu, but we should do what Chu people should do." The middle-aged businessman said in embarrassment.

"What does that mean?" Negative Chu asked.In his understanding, the businessman said something like this, there is something hidden.

"Oh, don't you understand, my lord?" the middle-aged businessman sighed.

"Actually, speaking from my personal feelings, the Koreans should really give us Chu, especially the nobles of Chu." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Why do you say that?" Negative Chu looked at the middle-aged businessman incomprehensibly.

"Young Master, I don't know. The nobles of the Chu State have taken advantage of the benefits. If this continues, what kind of benefits will we businessmen have? There is no such thing. As for the Koreans, you can think about it. A country like South Korea is almost about to be defeated by the Qin State. Why did the extinct country dare to do this, to start a war with Chu, there must be the support of the people of Qin behind this, and the news was obtained from the people of Qin, which shows that Qin knew about this matter and allowed South Korea to do so .” said the middle-aged businessman.

"If South Korea wins, we will be able to sell more goods. There are many things in the country that are advantageous, such as tea, silk, sugar, and various minerals. Many things are not available in the north. Imported from the south, but the aristocrats have monopolized these things. We Chu merchants in other countries have no way to get the goods. It can be said that we know that there are things that can make money, but we can’t get them. The reason is because The aristocrats have monopolized these things. The Koreans defeated these aristocrats, and we can import some goods, because both Qin and South Korea demanded a reduction in tariffs and a large amount of encouragement for import and export trade. In this way, we Chu Businessmen can make some money." The middle-aged businessman said.

"Oh." Hearing this, Li Chu understood the thoughts of the merchants of Chu State. They have certain feelings for Chu State, but their feelings are based on the fact that Chu State brought them enough benefits. Currently, trade is frequently carried out. , the industrial products in the north are exchanged with the commercial crop products of Chu State in the south. This is trade, but the high taxes of the nobles and the monopoly operation make them unable to make profits. In this way, the merchants of Chu State are willing to support South Korea to attack Chu State. country, in order to achieve this purpose.

"However, we are all Chu people. Do the Chu people want to support the Koreans in attacking our Chu country?" At this time, Li Chu asked incomprehensibly.

"It's true that we are from the state of Chu, but those nobles of the state of Chu were beaten. These nobles of the state of Chu will not give us a way out. What can we do? In fact, before we came here, the news had already been passed down. Everyone The meaning is very clear that we want to support South Korea, and we all hate the nobles of Chu State. It is best to defeat them at once. In this way, we businessmen of Chu State can also benefit a lot." The middle-aged businessman said .At this time, Negative Chu began to think about the stakes.

From the perspective of personal feelings, Lu Chu does not want any country to bully Chu, especially Qin, for whom he has an inexplicable hatred.

However, Li Yuan needs a high position, and if he is a high position, he needs a lot of financial support. It is impossible for those nobles to support him, because the nobles have a lot of project benefits, and Li Yuan doesn't care about him, and he doesn't care about the nobles' projects. In this way, there is no practical benefit, and it is impossible for the nobleman to agree to his superior request.After all, no one wants to make trouble with their own interests. In this way, the leader will not get enough financial support, especially the financial backing of an army. He cannot take advantage of the army's advantages. In order to ensure such an advantage Therefore, Negative Chu must find another force that can provide financial support, and this force is merchants, the merchant group of Chu State.
