Chapter 643: The Last Battle One

If you really want to describe what is happening right now, you can only use the word "penetration".

This is a kind of all-round infiltration. To a certain extent, Qin Shaoyou no longer needs to issue any royal orders, nor does he need to deliberately arrange anything. A penetration has begun quietly.

Compared with the landlords, the newly promoted chaebols are obviously more proactive. The landlords rely on God to give food to them. For the chaebols, any transaction must seize the opportunity at any time, because opportunities are fleeting and a little hesitation may miss the best opportunity.

Just like the recent niche industry of toothbrush powder, this emerging industry actually has not outstanding profits. One of the two original major commercial banks was Tongci and the other was Wanli. Because Tongci took the lead, Tongci occupied the vast majority of the market in Kanto. He was the leader of Kanto. As for Wanliyaxing, it was far from that. He was suppressed by Tongci everywhere in Kanto and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. However, after Shence Mansion seized the five towns of Weizhou, the five towns of Weizhou were in ruins at that time. The five military governments and the two were just built, and Tongci Yaxing was still holding a standout, but at this time Wanliyaxing was looking at

After the right time, the five towns opened up the market. Because the people in the five towns had no habit of using tooth powder, and most people were in trouble, they might not be able to afford tooth powder. Wanli Trading took the opportunity to launch cheap tooth powder and sold it in all prefectures and counties in the five towns at a low price. Soon, it occupied the market. A small tooth shop that had not made a profit of 500 guan a year suddenly expanded rapidly. In the past two years, because it opened up the market near Xiangyang, the profit of one year had exceeded tens of thousands of guan. In the tooth powder industry, it completely competed with the original industry leader Tongci.

After that, in order to maintain his position, Tongci had to start launching low-priced tooth powder dumping markets under the Five Military Administration, constantly competing with Wanliya Store in various states and counties. The two sides fought to the death, and now... a brand new market is in front of them.

Twenty-five towns, two hundred states, and hundreds of households with a population of hundreds of millions. What does this mean?

If any industry thinks that they have already occupied the leader of Kanto, or they are reluctant to give up their status and want to develop those female lands later, or even arrogantly believe that most of the newly merged 25 towns do not have the ability to consume. The annual surplus may be less than half of the Luoyang urban market. Now, the cultivation of these markets will only lose money in the early stage, so there is no need.

Then... this business is waiting to be caught up by later generations, and like Tongci, they are trampled under their feet. By the time they wake up, it is too late.

At this time, various new business theories in Luoyang City have long been popular, and the consensus among almost all merchants is that the market must seize the initiative. If one step slows down, the market will lose all the market. Even if you have a great advantage in the industry now, once your opponent takes advantage of loopholes, the real industry may be subverted. To seize the initiative, although there is a continuous investment for the time being. Within a few years, or even within ten years, the cost will not be recovered, but once the market is cultivated, the benefits you will get in the future will be ten times a hundred times the investment now.

The first opportunity...

This is why merchants are crazy. Although they know that now they are sending a large number of personnel to those "bad lands" prefectures and counties, they also know that setting up goods warehouses in those newly dependent prefectures and counties and recruiting personnel for promotion is almost equivalent to scattering money into water, just feeding the labor in vain. They know that even if some Dayi construction workshops such as Yangzhou and Yizhou may temporarily be unsold even if they produce goods.

However, they still spared no expense. The large business companies had even prepared hundreds of thousands of taxes to start targeted investments. Some small business operators had even pieced together and were determined to rush towards those "bad lands".

The capital market has been formed, so for Qin Shaoyou, the investment in Shence Mansion is just some engineering construction, and as for others, it is no longer necessary to pay attention to it. These spontaneous investments by the private sector will be astronomical, not just as simple as hundreds of millions of chunks, but may even be one billion or tens of billions of chunks.

These numbers are enough to make people shocked and quickly change those prefectures and counties within a few years.

A large amount of investment means that they need to hire a large amount of manpower locally, which means that a large number of warehouses, workshops, and bridges need to be built, which means that all industries are prosperous.

This fanatical atmosphere has even been infected by Shence Mansion. Some important workshops under Shence Mansion, especially tea workshops, have been ready to open workshops in Quanzhou, Yizhou and other places. Tea trading has always been the main part of Shence Mansion's income. This item alone has increased the income of Shence Mansion by 70 to 80 million yuan a year. This is of course also due to the expansion in recent years. Because of expansion, more people are employed, and more people have escaped poverty, tea is no longer exclusive to wealthy families, and has entered the homes of ordinary people. The consumer group has changed from tens of thousands to millions now. If it is added to purchase from other countries, it can even reach tens of millions.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Another winter is coming, and this year's winter has become warmer, but Luoyang's enthusiasm has obviously not dissipated. In recent newspapers, there are news that the merchants are moving eastward, southward, and westward. Officials stationed in various prefectures and counties have begun to take office. The economic foundation determines superstructure. This is a constant truth. If Qin Shaoyou just dispatched officials and used the army to suppress the local area, a prefecture and county that relies on land to maintain the economy, even if the officials of prefectures and counties have advanced thinking, repairing bridges and paving roads, and in-depth governance, it will often have a counterproductive effect, because... there are too many docks and roads, and ordinary farmers have no idea of ​​traveling far away. The surplus of local tyrants is more willing to use land.

When storing cellars and barns, there is no need to sell or transport them. Since everyone is self-sufficient, the bridges and roads you raise everywhere are useless, which will only cause local governments to spend less than enough money. As for in-depth governance, it is even more a joke. In a pavilion, most of the land is from a certain powerful family. Other farmers are either slaves or tenants. There are only a few so-called self-cultivated farmers, and they have almost no power. Most of them rely on the powerful to make a living. At this time, what should the pavilion chief and the township officials appointed by the government use to manage? Where is the final decision for your pavilion chief? Even if the official documents from the county and state are in this place, if the powerful nod, can they continue to be promoted?

In essence, if this structure is not broken down, any advanced concepts and lifestyles cannot penetrate. Even the local officials here cannot reverse it no matter how many talents they have. But now it is different. The laws of the Five Military Palaces have begun to attack the powerful, and the local governments directly suppress these powerful people.

If it is just this method, it is obviously meaningless. If so, then even if you announce the liberation of slaves and encourage farmers to farm on their own, it is just a joke. This is like Wang Mang's new policy. The laws are good, but the liberated slaves are no longer slaves. As soon as they come out, they find that they have no place to set up, no ability or capital to survive. In this world, no one hires them except the powerful, so their situation is even more miserable than when they were slaves. These people naturally become refugees and become the main force to overthrow the government.

So while suppressing the powerful, the tens of billions and billions of capital have had a very strong effect. Commercial banks in all states and counties have begun to enter one after another. When the commercial banks come in, they have to hire workers locally. In this way, many people have a livelihood, and the suppressed powerful people want to resist. On the one hand, they cannot deal with the stronger government. On the other hand, although the merchants are strong and do not suppress local snakes, they are digging their corners every now and then. While the legal system is not guaranteed, they are also suffering from that.

For some merchants who are like wolves and tigers, what kind of treatment can the tenants you hire give him in a month? It would be good to barely make him eat enough. However, the employment conditions of those business banks are more generous. Not only does they provide accommodation and food, but they can also give you some salary at the end of the month. As a result, a large number of farmers fled and the land could not be cultivated, which means that the land prices plummeted and the economy of the manor could not be maintained. The powerful had to buy ancestral property. At this time, some tenants were unwilling to hire workers, so they bought land at a low price and started to farm themselves.

Qin Shaoyou has lost interest in these reports. In almost every newspaper, it was reported by which business went wherever it was, and there were civil unrest among the powerful people in the prefecture and county, and it was immediately suppressed. Occasionally, there were some tragic stories, which were nothing more than some of the original big clans who simply committed suicide because they were desperate.

This is the pain. Any government must essentially have its class position. It is inevitable that it will hit anyone. In this world, there are good things that can be done with everyone. Someone laughs and some people cry. In essence, the Shence Mansion and the Five Military Mansion have never carried out a glorious career.

Qin Shaoyou's thoughts are no longer on this.

Now, it’s time to go to Hangu Pass.

When he arrived at Hangu Pass, the winter solstice had already arrived, but the weather was still warm. Although the Wei army had prepared some clothes to protect the cold and planned to help the "enemy" in Hangu Pass, now, it has been stranded because it has not officially entered the cold winter.
