Even if Li Ze is jealous of the Jiangnan area, he can only watch it and cannot start. Thinking about Huguang and the world's best words, this widely circulated word in later generations, he feels itchy. However, his hands are not long enough and his strength cannot reach this point. At present, it is more important to focus on Zhu Wen to deal with it first.

"Mr. Jin, the south of the Yangtze River, has a vast territory, is less affected by war, and the people are relatively rich. It is really a great country." Li Ze said: "For our future great cause, the importance is self-evident. At present, I have no time to take care of many things, so I have to work for Mr. Jin."

"I wonder what the tutor needs me to do?" Jin Mantang asked.

"Mr. Jin is already doing it now." Li Ze smiled and said, "Continuously expanding our influence in Jiangnan. We strive to cultivate our spokesperson in Jiangnan."

"Spokesman?" Jin Mantang didn't quite understand.

"Yes, spokesperson." Li Ze nodded heavily: "According to what Mr. Jin said, the large areas of Jiangnan have actually become quite prominent now. Whether it is the people or the official, there are always many people who are dissatisfied with reality. Mr. Jin might as well choose some people who can support us. In the officialdom, try every means to let him go up. In the folk, he can cultivate their reputation and expand their influence among the people. Even if some people occupy the mountains and make the rivers and thieves, they might as well use it."

"I understand." Jin Mantang suddenly realized.

"I don't expect them to do anything now, but when we need it in the future, they can play a huge role." Li Ze smiled and said, "It's not feasible to cram the Buddha for the time being."

"It takes a lot of professional talents to do such a thing!" Jin Mantang said.

"What kind of manpower is needed? Just go find the tiger to slaughter." Li Ze said.

"Okay, with the help of General Tu, many things will be easy to do." Jin Mantang said.

"Mr. Jin, in the Jiangnan area, are the copper coins we cast in Wuwei still popular?"

Speaking of this, Jin Mantang was excited: "Taifu, the copper coins cast by Wuwei are of color and large in weight. What is most amazing is that these seemingly excellent copper coins have made those who collect money to cast copperware for profit, and now Wuwei copper coins have become the most profitable business in our Changlong Money House."

Li Ze laughed proudly: "This is the secret of our Wuwei coins. Mr. Jin, using Changlong Money House to promote the coins we minted in Wuwei, this kind of profitable business would be great if we do it well."

"Now the copper coins cast by Wuwei are gradually replacing the original coins. Even the official is willing to collect Wuwei copper coins. When collecting taxes, the color of Wuwei copper coins and silver coins must be much lower than that of the previous copper coins." Jin Mantang said.

"It's great. I'm afraid that those who understand the people will refuse to use our copper coins. Since that's the case, we will cast a large number of copper coins. Hehe, ships of Wuwei copper coins will be exchanged for ships of silk and food, which will make people happy." Li Ze smiled so hard that he couldn't stop.

As an old money shop operator, Jin Mantang naturally knew that it was powerful. In fact, there were people in Jiangnan, but the original copper coins could not compete with the coins minted by Wuwei. Now, the people and merchants there prefer to use this kind of coins, and Changlong Money House even provides the business of exchanging old coins for new coins, and it is a one-to-one exchange. In the eyes of merchants and ordinary people, just exchange coins alone makes them profitable and naturally they are rushing. Following this momentum, Wuwei coins can be unified in one step in a few years.

"After the emperor settled down in Zhenzhou, re-established the court, and established rules, I will start to open the Silk Road." Li Ze said: "Mr. Jin might as well release this news in Jiangnan. I believe that many merchants will be very interested. This is a road full of gold, silver and treasures. One trip will be ten times or even dozens of times the benefits. Mr. Jin can set up such an organization in Jiangnan, first transporting the east and west to Haixing through the sea, and then starting with the seaxing as the starting point to embark on the journey of the Silk Road."

"Taifu, if you don't mention Anxi Protectors on this road, they will no longer exist. Even if they are in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they are also divided between the towns. Will it work?" Jin Mantang was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I will handle the towns in the Tang Dynasty." Li Ze smiled and said, "As for the country, there will be an army escorting the caravan, either making a fortune together or changing dynasties. I think that those small countries along the way will have a choice."

"Call the way?" Jin Mantang immediately opened his mouth wide.

Li Ze laughed: "Mr. Jin, although Anxi Protectorate is no longer there, there are still many people from the Tang Dynasty. This is a point that can be used. Moreover, the area is now chaotic. According to a city, it is only a hundred miles in a radius. It is really a pity that people dare to call themselves kings. I will laugh out loud. Not only will I open this road of wealth again, but I will also re-establish Anxi Protectorate."

Li Ze spoke firmly, and Jin Mantang was also excited when he heard it. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty controlled tens of millions of square kilometers of the Western Regions and ruled hundreds of small countries. The power of the Tang people was well-known on that land. There was a paradise for merchants to seize wealth.

"I will definitely spread this news in the south as soon as possible. I believe many people will be very interested." Jin Mantang smiled and said, "In this way, I am afraid that the prices of silk, porcelain and other items in Jiangnan will immediately rise!"

Li Ze said: "Mr. Jin, the most stable alliance in this world is to tie each other's interests together. Think about it, if I can create more wealth and more opportunities for them to make money, why don't they support me? Let them raise more silkworms, make more spinning machines, and weave more cloth, no matter how many, I, Li Ze, want them."

"This is natural." Jin Mantang said. As soon as this news came out, Jin Mantang didn't need to instigate him at all. The merchants would do this naturally.

Naturally, he didn't know that Li Ze was also ill-intentioned in this. Li Ze was promoting such a thing now in two places, one in Jiangnan and the other outside the mouth. Jiangnan silk and wool outside the mouth.

Through the Siwandan tribe, Li Ze has established a good reputation in various Hu people outside his mouth. As Tiel ran, the caravans of the supply and marketing cooperatives have entered the settlements of the Khitans, Uighurs and various kinds of Hu Hu, purchasing large quantities of wool and various furs, vigorously encouraging these Hu people to raise sheep. In many Hu people's settlements, supplier cooperatives have even established fixed strongholds. These strongholds have not only become goods distribution sites, but also trading points for various Hu people to come here to trade. On the fifteenth of every month, countless Hu people will come here to trade from all over the place. Small towns are formed in the originally deserted places.

Those Hu people probably wouldn't have thought that after these merchants at the trading points took off their robes and put on their armor, they would turn into elite warriors.

During the day, they are smiling businessmen, and at night, they occasionally become gods of killing, but they completely eliminate tribes that are disobedient and have different ambitions.

Li Ze worked together with big sticks and sweet dates, closely bonding the mouth to the mainland, making those miscellaneous people more and more inseparable from the mainland.

In the past, Zhang Zhongwu used to threaten these Hu people with a knife. If he didn't follow me, I would destroy you. At the same time, he strictly controlled them in terms of economy. In Zhang Zhongwu's opinion, the poorer these people would rely on him.

Li Ze's methods are much more gentle, and military demonstrations are naturally indispensable. But unlike Zhang Zhongwu, Li Ze is trying every means to make these people rich. Of course, this kind of wealth must be based on relying on Wuwei. If you reach obedience to Wuwei, you will be rich, and if you deviate from Wuwei, you will be poor immediately. This policy has been implemented for more than half a year, and the positive effects have begun to appear. Wang Mingyi, who is responsible for this line, has long become a great god of wealth in the hearts of these Hu people. Wang Mingyi, who left the political arena and devoted himself to the business world, is now doing it with ease and full of confidence. He even boasted directly in front of Li Ze that his supply and marketing cooperative can be used as a 100,000 army in the future.

Of course, Li Ze did this not only to firmly take over these areas from Zhang Zhongwu. You should know that this influence has a radiation effect and will gradually spread to large areas in the northeast outside Pingzhou, which Zhang Zhongwu is still controlling. In that area, Zhang Zhongwu still relied on his knife to savage the miscellaneous Hu and savages. The situation returned from Wuwei's intelligence system, a large number of miscellaneous Hu and savages were even directly turned into slaves by Zhang Zhongwu, locked on the land to farm the land and grazed livestock for the migrated Tang people.

Li Ze firmly believed that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. Zhang Zhongwu's policies may make his economic strength a great progress in a short period of time, but as long as there is a loss in the military and one or two defeats, the avalanche effect will appear.

Who is willing to be a slave?
