Chapter 22 Meng Xiaomei!

The leaders of various tribes gathered around to find Ouyang Bian, leaving only the people from Mengxiang tribe, and the strong men surrounded the outside to guard against someone to attack the leader.

Meng Xiaomei and Meng Chang were talking in the house.

Meng Chang was a little confused: "I didn't explain it clearly in Ouyang Bian today, why do you want to strive for naturalization, land purchase, admission qualification, etc.?

These should actually be of no use to us. If we really want to be naturalized, if the two states of Huanqing are not good, we will go to other states to join us. We can also be naturalized. Why do we have to be here?"

Meng Xiaomei shook her head and said, "Aye, this is different."

Meng Chang said: "What's the difference?"

"Aye, you often teach me that as long as people are right, the world is right."

Meng Chang said in surprise: "You can't be interested in Ouyang Bian, are you?"

Meng Xiaomei nodded, without any shyness.

"Who can dislike such a young man? But this is not the case.

Aye, you don’t know the origin of Ouyang Bian, right?”

Meng Chang smiled and said, "Xiao Mei, just say it. In terms of cleverness and vision, our Mengxiang tribe is the most powerful. Otherwise, why don't I bring other people out and I have to take you."

Meng Xiaomei smiled softly, intellectual and wise, not like a tribal girl, but like a scholar who is well-read about poetry and books.

"Aye still remembers the poem I often hear during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. It is when the bright moon comes, and ask the song Qingtian with wine."

Meng Chang nodded in surprise: "Is it written by Ouyang Bian?"

Meng Xiaomei nodded: "It was him, Aye is not a scholar, so I don't know how famous Ouyang Bian is. His poems have already established a sect and are known as the bold school. They are the most famous poets in the Song Dynasty and even the world today."

Meng Chang said in surprise: "That's amazing."

Meng Xiaomei said, "However, this only shows that his fame is great, and it doesn't mean anything. But if Aye knew his ability, he would know why Xiaomei would have to pester Meng Xiang's tribe to his warship after recognizing him today."

Meng Chang smiled and said, "Didn't you like this handsome young man?"

Meng Xiaomei said angrily: "Aye, I'm telling you serious things."

Meng Chang quickly waved his hand: "Okay, you say it."

"Ouyang Bian came to Qingzhou and was demoted. When he was in the Song court, he was a master of imperial edicts and had two positions. Aye did not know these two positions, but it can be understood that one was a minister of the court and the other was an official position specially given to others. Anyway, they were all high-ranking officials of the Song court.

What led to his exile was that Ouyang Bian promoted the Qingzhangliu in the Song Dynasty. Although a rebellion broke out when it was about to be completed, resulting in his exiled here, but the current Prime Minister Han Qi continued to implement his policy and had completed it."

Meng Chang exclaimed: "That's such a powerful person. It's such a thing that offensives people. He can actually promote it across the country and complete it. That's really amazing!"

Meng Xiaomei nodded: "Just this is all he is just a capable minister in governing the country, and he wouldn't have done this way today."

Meng Chang said in surprise: "There is something else?"

Meng Xiaomei smiled and said, "Besides being an outstanding poet, an outstanding official with a superior background, what makes him even more popular is his talent in running the industry."

Meng Chang: “…”

"Aye, do you know the identities of those merchants who often come to Mengxiang's tribe to buy cattle, sheep, horses, fur, and various medicinal materials?"

Meng Chang nodded: "That's natural. The one who buys livestock is Shenggan fresh food, the one who buys fur is Henry leather, and the one who buys medicinal materials is Yunkui Pharmaceutical. These three companies are all big trading companies at the junction of Song and Xia, and even the Xia Kingdom has a lot of connections."

Meng Xiaomei smiled and said, "Does Aye know which company they belong to?"

Meng Chang smiled helplessly and said, "You little girl, don't keep it a secret, hurry up and tell Aye."

Meng Xiaomei smiled sly and said, "Hmph, now I know mine. When I ask you to buy newspapers, I will push you one by one. No one likes to read them after buying them!"

Meng Chang begged for mercy and said, "Oh, isn't it the only one who recognizes Chinese characters?"

When Meng Xiaomei saw Aye begging for mercy, she smiled proudly: "Shenggan Fresh, Henry Leather, and Yunkui Pharmaceutical are all industries under the Agricultural Bank of China, and Agricultural Bank of China is just one of the industries under Ouyang Bian's name."

Meng Chang was really shocked now.

Meng Xiaomei said that Ouyang Bian was a high-ranking official and he didn't care much about it. After all, the officials here, even the magistrates, had to coax them, such as the tribe leaders.

Especially large tribes like their Mengxiang tribe can almost affect the relationship between the two countries, and the high officials on both sides hold him, so it is natural that they don’t feel too big.

However, he could feel the power of the three major trading companies across the border.

Shenggan Fresh, Yunkui Pharmaceutical, and Henry Leather almost monopolized the livestock transactions, medicinal materials transactions and fur transactions on the border of Song and Xia. Mengxiang’s department mainly relies on these three industries to maintain their lives. Therefore, Mengxiang’s department is not afraid of any management or magistrates, but it is just afraid of the shopkeepers of these three businesses.

Because the shopkeepers of these three stores control the prices, as long as they raise the price slightly, the Mengxiang tribe will have a better life. If they try hard to lower the price, the Mengxiang tribe may have had a problem with eating that year.

So every time the shopkeepers go to Mengxiang's tribe, the welcome they receive is even higher than the welcome they receive when the magistrates go to Mengxiang's tribe.

Meng Changqi Ai Ai said: "Then these three business companies, Shenggan Fresh, Yunkui Pharmaceutical, and Henry Leather, must be the most important business companies of the Agricultural Bank, right?"

Meng Xiaomei shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Although it is not a small company under the Agricultural Bank of China, it is indeed not a top-ranked number. In the Agricultural Bank of China system, these three companies are probably just medium-to-middle-high-sized."

Meng Chang opened his mouth wide, like a toad struck by lightning.

However, it is true that animal husbandry, medicinal materials and fur are profitable industries, but luxury goods and medicines are not particularly large in scale. Compared with the large enterprises that have been deeply rooted in the Song Dynasty, Shenggan Fresh and Yunkui Pharmaceutical, Henry Leather can only barely occupy the top of the middle by relying on its monopoly position.

Although I don’t know how much share these three businesses occupy in the Agricultural Bank of China, Meng Chang’s understanding of the energy of these three businesses has some concepts, which is that the Agricultural Bank of China is incredible!

"Then this Agricultural Bank must be the most awesome industry under Ouyang Bian's name, right?"

Meng Chang was a little uncertain.

Meng Xiaomei nodded.

Meng Changshu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if the Agricultural Bank of China was only a small part, then Ouyang Bian would be too terrible.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaomei said: "The Central Bank of the Song Dynasty he founded belongs to the Song Dynasty court and is not considered the industry under his name. The Agricultural Bank of China is the largest industry under his name.

However, the industries under his name are similar to those of the Agricultural Bank of China, or industries that are rapidly narrowing the gap include Xihucheng Group, Xigong Construction, Oceanwide Group, etc..”

Meng Chang: “…”

"So, in fact, he is the richest person in the Song Dynasty?"

Meng Xiaomei tilted her head and thought for a while, "This statement is wrong. It should be said that he is the richest person in the world."

"Even the Emperor of Liao and the Emperor of Song dynasties are richer?"

"Although the Emperor of Liao and Emperors of Song all said to be rich all over the world, they are really not as rich as him."

Meng Chang's expression was a little dull.

"So, Aye, tied with him, it's not difficult for Mengxiang's tribe to live a good life.

I also heard that he operated Liangzhe Road in the Song Dynasty for several years, and then on Jinghu North Road for several years. After that, Liangzhe Road and Jinghu North Road became the most prosperous roads in the southeast of the Song Dynasty.

It’s okay to have Liangzhe Road, it was originally very rich, but Jinghu North Road was originally half wild, but through his management, it has now become a paradise in the eyes of the Song people!

So, under his rule, I believe that it will definitely not be bad, especially this Gyeongju Industrial Park, which will become our blessed land!"

Meng Xiaomei's eyes were filled with wisdom.

Meng Chang took a deep breath and seemed to have made a huge decision.

"Okay, then let's listen to you, Xiao Mei, you are the pearl of Mengxiang tribe and the smartest person in our Mengxiang tribe. You can do whatever you say. Aye supports you, and the future of Mengxiang tribe depends on you."

Meng Xiaomei smiled and said, "We have two things to do now."

Meng Chang nodded firmly: "You said."

"First, we strongly support Qingzhou Industrial Park and send all the surplus labor force of our Mengxiang tribe to the industrial park. After that, if you have the opportunity to register, you will firmly register. Children must study in the school run by Ouyang Bian. The tribe must coordinate the help of those who come here to buy land and build houses, and take root here."

Meng Xiaomei said.

Meng Chang hesitated a little: "The tribe pays for them to buy land?"

Meng Xiaomei nodded: "That's right, but this is borrowed from them. Their salary can be paid back quickly. With a house and a job, they have taken root here.

We must strive to integrate all the people of Mengxiang tribe into the industrial park within a few years. This is an excellent opportunity. If we integrate into Gyeongju, it will be very difficult because local forces will exclude us.

But the industrial park itself is a new force. When merchants from all over the world came here, they were not yet stable. We were first involved. Then Mengxiang’s tribe is one of the founders of the industrial park.

At that time, the industrial park will flourish and we can also enjoy the achievements brought by the industrial park!"

Meng Chang looked at his granddaughter with unprecedented eyes. He used to know that his granddaughter was very smart, but he didn't expect that there was such a gap in his heart!

However, it is a real pity. If Meng Xiaomei was a man, the Meng Xiang tribe would be given to her to lead, and the Meng Xiang tribe would definitely not be defeated.

It's a pity that he's a girl.

When I was still here, I could still suppress other people. Meng Xiaomei's wisdom could also support Meng Xiang's tribe, but if others came up...ah.
