There are always bad guys who want to attack me

Before leaving the capital, Taiping had a special talk with Gao Zixin.Taiping only cares about two issues, one is when the Northeast mutual market will open, and the other is to tell Gao Zixin to be careful about those neighboring countries.

Those neighboring countries were dishonest in the past. When Taiping was still controlled by the Hunjun system, those neighboring countries took advantage of Daliang.

Now that they are sticking together again, they obviously want to take advantage of Daliang again.

Taiping already knew about the post house, so he was a little worried, fearing that the envoys would make trouble after they returned, and Daliang would not be peaceful again.

In this regard, Gao Zixin had actually planned for a long time.

The mutual market must be opened, if there is no benefit, wouldn't those neighboring countries that have already suffered from pink eye disease have to go all out to deal with Daliang?

After all, Gao Zixin didn't want to be ruined by those covetous white-eyed wolves, seeing that Daliang was developing in a good direction.

However, it is impossible to let him take advantage of the benefits in vain.

Just as Honglu Temple hinted to the envoys of various countries, the mutual market must be opened, but where it is opened depends on their own sincerity.

This is actually just a cliché, Gao Zixin has already figured out where to open a mutual market, and whoever thinks of it first.But if the other party refuses to express good sincerity, then open it in another place.

Anyway, the initiative is in his hands, want to open a mutual market, want to benefit?All right, be honest with him!

In order to prevent those merchants from losing the chain, Gao Zixin specially set up a General Bureau of Commerce, which is responsible for dealing with business issues across the country.

The General Administration of Commerce was not directly under the head of the household department, but was directly under his orders, and Qian Bi was the head of the bureau.In addition to Qian Bi, there are two deputy directors, including Sun Youwei and Zhao Qingyuan who once assisted Qian Bi.

The rest included business consultants recruited from the private sector, and talents elected by Gao Zixin's special business department.

Those business consultants are big private businessmen. Not only are they doing business very successfully, but they are also of good character. They pay attention to integrity in doing business, and they are not the kind who do anything to make money.

However, the interests behind these people are too great, so although Gao Zixin gave them the position of consultant, they have no real power.

Even so, it is enough to make many people heartbroken.

Even if he has no real power, his reputation sounds good!Besides, as long as he joined the General Administration of Commerce as a consultant, wouldn't he be more well-informed, not to mention that he would have more contacts in the future?

Who doesn't know now that the emperor is a person who clearly rewards and punishes, as long as he does things well, the benefits will definitely be indispensable!

As long as they honestly do their own things well, and as long as their superiors get the wind and give them a chance, wouldn't it be just around the corner for the whole family to prosper?

What's more, today's emperor attaches great importance to merchants, so he even set up a special business department to recruit talents. For example, in the General Administration of Commerce where they are located, there are many young people who have been admitted.Most of these young people's families are in business. Now they are admitted, although they only have a small position, but they are still officials. As long as they do well, their future prospects are limitless, which is much better than simply doing business!

Anyway, they have a lot of backs in their family, one gets in, and the rest can do business!Only when everyone supports each other can the family prosper and prosper.

Several old consultants were making calculations in their hearts. Although there were a lot of careful thoughts, none of them were foolish and self-defeating. Instead, they all consciously thought about how to work hard in the future.

Gao Zixin's establishment of the General Administration of Commerce was actually a last resort.

Ever since he started his own business and clearly showed that he valued businessmen, Daliang's business has been booming.

In particular, the development of Lingnan has been seen by everyone, and the slogan "Build roads first if you want to get rich" has spread throughout the whole country.

As a result, businessmen in many places gathered almost spontaneously and offered to donate money to build roads, in order to do better business in the future.

They are willing to pay this money to build roads, and both Gao Zixin and the local government are most welcome.However, to be cautious, Gao Zixin also paid for it himself, and specially arranged for manpower to provide technical guidance, and asked Jin Yiwei to supervise the work to ensure the quality of the project.

Gao Zixin expressed his opinion, and naturally more people responded.The local gentry, wealthy lords, parents, officials, and even some affluent ordinary people donated money.

Everyone is not stupid, with Jin Yiwei watching, who would dare to withhold donations and cut corners?It is good for everyone when the road is repaired. In the past, we were unable to do so. Now that we have the opportunity, of course we can do our part.

Who knew that Gao Zixin would have a second hand!

He asked Jin Yiwei to keep an eye on the progress of the project. One was to ensure the quality, and the other was to worry that someone would deliberately deduct labor and exhaust people to death.

With Jin Yiwei watching, naturally no one dared to do this.

What's more, the merchants pooled money to build roads in the first place to make a fortune, and no one wanted to kill people.Not easy to explain, but also ruined reputation.What's more, killing someone sounds unlucky, so how can you make a fortune in the future?

It's just that no one thought that Gao Zixin would have a second hand.

This backhand is nothing else, that is, when the road is repaired in the future, it will be paid for the road.This toll is not given by everyone, but like the kind of horse-drawn cart that pulls goods, you have to pay toll according to the weight of the goods.

The toll money is not used for other things, it is only used for repairing or rebuilding after the road surface is damaged, and the money will not be too much.

Gao Zixin directly asked someone to list the rules and announced them in advance. After seeing it, everyone immediately accepted it.

Moreover, Gao Zixin also specifically mentioned that for those who donate money, the toll can be deducted from the donation.

Well, no one cares about that.

When businessmen donate money to build roads, they also have the meaning of gaining a good reputation for themselves. With a good reputation, are you afraid that business will not be easy?Although the donated money is not a small number, it is not too much for them, so how can they really deduct it?

What do you want to make a lot of money by digging and searching?

So after the rules were listed, not only did the number of donators not decrease, but more.So soon, all parts of Daliang fell into the upsurge of road construction.

When Taiping took the He family away from the capital to go to the northeast, only part of the road leading to the northeast from the capital was repaired, and the rest was still being repaired.

If all cement is used, the project volume and cost are too expensive, and the current situation of the girder is still unaffordable.After all, businessmen have to make money, and it is impossible to donate all their wealth to road construction.

So except for a very few road sections, most of the road sections are just widening the road surface, paving gravel or broken tiles and bricks, and then leveling the road surface with huge stone rollers.

Although it was rough, it was much better than the simple dirt road before.

Gao Zixin was not disappointed. Daliang had only just begun to develop. When the warships were built, the navy was trained, and the ocean trade was developed, Daliang's commercial handicraft industry would develop rapidly, and there was no need to worry about running out of money.

After Taiping left, Gao Zixin became busy again.

As it turned out, only a month later, Lingnan suddenly sent an urgent dispatch of [-] miles, saying that there were pirates on the seashore!These water pirates are none other than those who came from the island country in the east on small broken boats!

When Gao Zixin saw the secret report, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, feeling terrified in his heart.

Fortunately, he had already started to secretly train the navy in Lingnan. After Doihara and his party were sent away last time, he even wrote a letter urging the navy to step up their training and patrol the sea regularly.

Otherwise, I don't know how many innocent fishermen will be lost this time!

Those islanders, be damned!

How impatient it is for such a tiny country to dare to go to Daliang to plunder!

Gao Zixin's heart was hardened, and he crumpled the secret report in his hand.

Feng Xuan was nearby, seeing him angry, frowned slightly, and said disapprovingly: "It's just a small country, why bother? If you don't like them, I'll lead my troops to kill them all. "

"No need!" Gao Zixin said hastily.

If it was before, he would naturally not care about the life and death of those islanders, and he would kill them as soon as they were killed.

But since Taiping's rebirth, Gao Zixin suddenly felt that the ghosts and gods in this world might be true.The so-called reincarnation of cause and effect, retribution is not good.

Feng Xuan has already done too much for him, Gao Zixin does not want him to be stained with more blood.

He didn't care about the lives of those people, but worried that if Feng Xuan really killed them, there would be karma.Anyway, he doesn't pay much attention to that small country, what he wants is just the gold, silver and copper mines there.

So Gao Zixin waved his hands, and then said meaningfully: "There is no need to kill them, I want to put a long line to catch big fish."

"You want to..." Feng Xuan also saw the things that Zheng Yuan explained, so he quickly understood Gao Zixin's meaning and smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, although the small country is not big, the mines on it Not bad."

As soon as Gao Zixin heard it, he knew that Feng Xuan had understood.

So the two looked at each other and smiled, and soon there was a calculation.

So it didn't take long for Fei Jun, the commander of the water army in the south of the Lingnan, to receive Gao Zixin's secret order, and rushed to teach the captured water pirates how to behave.

These water pirates were able to come and plunder recklessly, obviously they were not people of good background.If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get along in the country, they wouldn't have taken huge risks to cross the sea to plunder.

Now that Fei Jun used all kinds of means, under the coercion and temptation, these people immediately turned against each other.

So far, the good show has just begun.
