After Fang Nan discussed with a group of students, plans were decided one by one, and the People's Chamber of Commerce was the fastest. President Xu Yongning would spread the issue of opening up cement technology to allow the construction of cement plants in newly occupied areas, which immediately attracted the attention of a large number of merchants. Even merchants who already had cement plants were no exception. They wanted to build more cement plants.

The cement factory has been serving the People's Army before. Merchants' profits in cement business are only 10% at most, which is far from the glass business, and are also worse than other businesses of merchants. Merchants are willing to invest in building cement factories, mainly to be "imperial merchants", and secondly, they feel that the cement business has potential, and this potential is no longer the People's Army, but the people under the rule of the People's Army.

As merchants expanded the scale of cement plants, the People's Army bought most of the cement produced by the cement plants, and a small part of the cement can be sold to the outside world, attracting many people to buy it.

Those who buy cement will definitely not be the lower-level people. Although their income has increased a little in recent years, cement is not a necessary product, and there is no need to use cement to build a house, apply the ground, and apply cement roads.

People who buy cement mainly include middle and upper income families in the middle and upper class ruling areas of the People's Army. They have enough money to buy cement, apply a layer of cement to the floor of the house or apply cement roads at home. The smooth cement floor is much better than the "soil" floor.

The cement sold by merchants cannot be as low as the cement sold to the People's Army. The profits of the cement sold to the outside can reach more than 20%. Such profits are already good. Moreover, in the view of merchants, as the income of ordinary people increases, more ordinary people will buy cement, and the cement business potential is endless.

However, the People's Army has restrictions on cement business. Establishing a new cement plant must be approved by the People's Army, but there is no restrictions on the expansion of the cement plant.

No matter how a cement factory expands its scale, it is limited. The most important thing is that the consumption capacity of the area around the cement factory is limited and there is no selling much cement. It is the best choice to establish a new cement factory in other areas, but it is not possible to establish a cement factory at will. Merchants compete with each other, and the cement business will be scrapped. The People's Army is also good for merchants to control the number of cement factories.

Now that the People's Army's territory has expanded several times, it is necessary to build roads and water conservancy facilities like Guangdong before, all of which require a lot of cement to be used. Many merchants are already waiting for the People's Army's notice.

However, this time the People's Army's notice surprised the merchants. The notice showed that as long as you prepare 3,000 yuan of equal coins, you can get the registration qualification. The specific situation must be reviewed by the People's Army to determine the final qualification.

The 3,000-yuan equality currency is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for some merchants, the 3,000-yuan equality currency can still be taken out. Merchants who learned the news went to the People's Chamber of Commerce to register.

Not only the merchants in Guangzhou City, but also the merchants from all over Guangdong outside Guangzhou City can participate. Merchants from all over the country can register at the People's Chamber of Commerce branch in the city.

The cement plant plan is continuing, and other plans formulated by Fang Nan and a group of students are also underway. However, something coming from the north a few days later made Fang Nan feel very puzzled.

"It's interesting, interesting to have the People's Army ceasefire at the cost of being crowned king."

In the office, Fang Nan looked at the letters sent by Cheng Xinyuan to send back, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

Fang Nan knew that only the descendants of the Zhu family were able to be crowned kings for hundreds of years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and no other surname was crowned kings at all. Now he wanted to be crowned as a "rebel" to him. This was a great humiliation for the Ming court, but the Ming court did this, which shows how bad the current situation of the Ming court is.

Fang Nan would definitely not accept the title of king. Once Fang Nan became the king of the Ming Dynasty, even if it was just a name, what would the people in the People's Army look at and what would the people under the rule of the People's Army look at.

The People's Army is already so strong that it can even push the Ming Dynasty to unify the world. It is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to accept the title of king.

Of course, Fang Nan also understood that the Ming court appointed him as king for a truce. In order to delay time, the truce would definitely have a truce. Fang Nan did not want the People's Army to continue to fight, which affected the people in the Ming Dynasty's ruling area to farm. If millions and tens of millions of people were starved to death due to war, it would be Fang Nan's sin.

However, the Ming court cannot see that the People's Army wanted to cease the war, but the Ming court paid a huge price to cease the People's Army. This depends on Cheng Xinyuan, who was responsible for the negotiations on the front line, to work hard.

Almost at the same time, Wang Shengrong, who was in charge of Jiangxi, also received a letter. The letter did not come from other people of the People's Army or Wang Shengrong's relatives, but from Wei Linhan, the minister in charge of the negotiations in the Ming court.

Wei Linhan praised Wang Shengrong in his letter, and then wrote that he asked Wang Shengrong to help the Ming court and the People's Army to cease war. The Ming court could confer Wang Shengrong as king, and his fief was the entire Jiangxi.

Wang Shengrong smiled at the letter, and he didn't have to think about it, so he knew that this was the Ming court's plan to divide the People's Army. Maybe Xiong Jian, He Yan, and Yan Han would receive similar letters, and the Ming court was not afraid that the People's Army would continue to fight because of this incident.

Wang Shengrong never worried about the division within the People's Army. The relationship between teachers, students and classmates is much closer than the relationship between the monarch and the minister. If it weren't for the small age gap, the relationship between teachers and students would be almost the same as that between father and son.

Wang Shengrong took out paper and pen and wrote two letters, preparing to tell Cheng Xinyuan and his teacher about "being the king".

Wei Linhan, the Ming Dynasty minister in Jiande County, Chizhou Prefecture, Southern Zhili, was anxiously waiting four days ago. Four days ago, Wei Linhan used the "King" as a price to hope that the People's Army can cease war with the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of the armistice negotiations, Wei Linhan has been at a disadvantage. After all, the Ming court does not want to fight and cannot defeat the People's Army.

Wei Linhan asked Cheng Xinyuan what conditions the People's Army had before the truce was able to truce. Cheng Xinyuan did not offer the conditions, but asked the Ming court to "bid" first and continue to fight if it was not suitable.

According to the negotiation a few years ago, Wei Linhan first took out two million taels of silver as a price, hoping that the People's Army would cease the war. Cheng Xinyuan directly said "It's not enough" and refused.

Two million taels of silver were not enough, so Wei Linhan was careful to increase the price, but he did not dare to add too much. The Ming court's treasury was becoming increasingly empty, but he could not give much silver to the People's Army.

But Cheng Xinyuan was very dissatisfied with Wei Linhan's price increase, and seemed increasingly impatient. He said directly: "If this happens again, we won't have to talk about it."

Cheng Xinyuan's words made Wei Linhan very angry, but he could do nothing. Just when Wei Linhan was thinking about taking the biggest price that the Ming court could afford, the emperor's secret decree arrived, which said that "the king" could be used as a price to make the People's Army cease to fight.
