Chapter 634: Both hard and soft
Liu Fengyuan started and praised Luo Shuai on the spot. The others had to agree with each other and do a good job of superficial work. These people have been operating business all year round, are very skilled, have a lot of insights in dealing with people and things, and are not too reckless or straightforward.
"The Young Marshal was conquered Tuyuhun and he had been stationed here for three or four years. At that time, we wanted to get to know each other for a long time, but we had no chance. Unexpectedly, many years ago, the Young Marshal came to the northwest again to serve, and we were extremely welcome." Fu Li, the representative of the Fu family, said.
Zhang Zhaoyuan said: "The young marshal is famous and today I am really a great comfort to meet him for my whole life."
The most embarrassing person here is Xue Liang, an elder of the Xue clan and an elder of the clan. However, Xue Ju is currently in the cavalry of Jincheng County and established the Western Qin regime. The Xue clan has risen and has become the most powerful person in the Qi family. However, from another perspective, it is also the most dangerous.
Therefore, the leader of the Xue clan sent people here and could not completely offend Luo Cheng. He was worried that if Luo Cheng showed his power and angered him, he would be defeated. Moreover, it is still unknown how long Xue Ju's Western Qin regime can last. Therefore, the Xue clan has to invest on both sides, which is related to the lifeline and survival of the family, and he dare not completely suppress Xue Ju.
Luo Zhaoyun glanced at the group of people and said, "Now in the chaotic times, the court is experiencing disasters, and the people in the world are suffering even more. I, Luo, is not talented and wants to support the country and help the people. Since I have been sent to the northwest, I have a deep relationship with the vast land in the northwest. Therefore, I must focus on protecting and supporting this area, which will not only extinction the rioters and bandits, but also build up the economy."
"If you start the Hexi Corridor and the Silk Road again, salt factories, tea factories, iron tool factories, restaurants, cloth shops, etc. Here, you are all big families in Hexi, so I intend to join forces with you to drive local businesses and benefit the people. At the same time, it can also increase the interests of the seven families. Of course, this depends on the meaning of you and the families behind the scenes. I, Luo Cheng, do not force people to make money. There are dozens of merchant families of all sizes and big families, and they will also be interested in this project."
Liu Fengyuan was not shy about it and was very interested in economic cooperation. He asked, "Don't know how to cooperate?"
Luo Zhaoyun said: "First, doing business in the northwest and opening larger workshops requires approval in accordance with the new industrial and commercial laws in the northwest, and taxes must be paid according to the turnover when selling; secondly, all five-zhu coins minted by banks under the Northwest Marshal's Office and silver banknotes issued, so as to unify the currency. Third, support the rules of the head of the head of the head, household registration investigation, assist in local civil affairs and new regulations, etc.."
"If you comply with the orders of the Marshal Pingxi Mansion, then in return, your family will be protected first, and you can obtain a portion of the sales ratio of fine salt, tea, porcelain, and glassware, allowing you to wholesale some products from the imperial workshops at the market price, and sell them to the Western Regions and remote areas, so that you can obtain the difference value."
This is an economic offensive. To win over the wealthy families in the northwest and use them for use by the Marshal's Office, it must be given certain benefits so that they can give up something while also gaining benefits. A blindly suppressed policy will only backfire. For example, if a little interest is not distinguished, the interests of the seven families will be seriously damaged and will join forces to resist demolition. Although they dare not take action openly, there must be small actions behind the scenes, fearing that the northwest will not be in chaos. By then, they will have to suppress the situation with their own blood and make trouble, which is not in line with the purpose of bilateral win-win results.
No one present is an ordinary person. He is middle-aged and has been doing business all year round and has a strong sense of profit-seeking. Therefore, now he is thinking about whether he should join the camp of the young coach Luo Cheng to seek cooperation.
At this time, the people of the seven clans had different ideas. When faced with big interests, it was difficult for them to join forces to share the interests equally, but they all wanted to get more and strive to maximize their own interests.
Moreover, each family has different backgrounds, so the departures are different. For example, the people from the Xue family will naturally not get too close to Luo Cheng and the court. As long as they are not liquidated and make things difficult, they will slowly wait for the situation to change before making a decision.
Liu Fengyuan, Fu Li, Zhang Zhaoyuan and others immediately agreed to cooperate with Luo Cheng's mansion because they had long lost the ambition to dominate the world. The clan forces were far behind the Guanlong nobles and the Shandong tycoons, so they just wanted to continue to consolidate their power and expand their assets. If the Silk Road could be reproduced, below the market price, wholesale to obtain the government's products, and send caravans to dozens of countries in the Western Regions, the Great Food Kingdom, the Tianzhu Kingdom, etc., the interests would not be small.
Yao, the representative of the Zheer family, hesitated for a long time and felt that he would try it first to see if there is any profit to make, and then decide whether to increase the investment in the future and strive for a larger batch.
The Xue and Cao clans, one leaning towards Xue Ju, the other leaning towards Li Gui and Cao Zhen, did not agree immediately and had to go back to discuss with the clan leader before making a decision.
Luo Zhaoyun said decisively: "Okay, just talking about these things. If you choose to cooperate, you must unswervingly support the decision of the General's Mansion. You should not betray it. It doesn't matter if you don't choose to cooperate. There will be seven days of interest in the merchant clan and you should also leave some space for them. Maybe in the future, it will not only be the seven heroes in the northwest, but will become the nine heroes. I know more. It depends on whether you and the head of the family behind the scenes can judge the situation and recognize the situation."
His words were mixed with some threats, which shocked those who were half-hearted. They were considered as being courtesy and then being soldier. When some families did not cooperate, they would be isolated and could no longer be as solid as before. Luo Zhaoyun used economic means to turn the uncooperatives into aliens, and then supported the new and other wealthy families and replaced the old families, so as to achieve a reshuffle, and the most moderate forces were over-excessive.
