When Ping Xinli met Qing Cang, Qing Cang was surveying the location and vegetation of the new capital, and met Ping Xinli in the relatively elegant temporary palace built there.

Ping Xinlu first congratulated Xianguo on his victory and ascension to the position of a great power, and then offered a bunch of gifts, and then expressed his dedication to Xianguo's new capital.

Qing Cang was not angry when Ping Xinlu bought him, but refused. Xianguo didn't need merchants to fund the construction of a king's capital.

Ping Xinlu, who was rejected, also knew the current affairs and stopped fussing over this matter, and stepped into his main topic, which is the difficulties encountered by businessmen now.

After Qing Cang finished listening, he picked up the teacup, blew away the tea leaves floating on the water, spit gracefully, and put down the teacup.

After all, he was the one who got the businessman into such a problem, and Qingcang had no choice but to solve it.

"I'm sorry for putting everyone in the Chamber of Commerce in such a predicament."

Ping Xinlu hastily said no.

"For the current situation, I don't know how to solve it. I can only try to save everyone's interests."

Hearing what Qing Cang said, Ping Xinrui couldn't help being a little disappointed, but it would be nice to be able to save some profits.

"I have no right to interfere with the policies of other countries." This is one of the reasons why Qingcang can't solve it. If there is only Xianguo, it is very simple, but when it comes to the sovereignty of other countries, Qingcang is really not good as a king Intervention is a declaration of war.

Ping Xinlu understands Qingcang's difficulties, Xianguo has just gone through a big battle, and it's time to cultivate and improve, not to start a war.From this, it can be seen that the thinking of people in this world is different from that of Qing Cang. Qing Cang is out of respect for sovereignty, but people in this world have no idea of ​​​​respecting sovereignty. As long as they want to interfere, they will destroy that country. Just come down.

"But I can give you a little suggestion, and I'm going to implement it." Now that Ping Xin has talked about the busy building of the new capital, it should be possible to proceed.

"Please tell me, King Xian." It is better to have a suggestion than no suggestion.

"I plan to build a new free trade zone on the border. If the chamber of commerce cannot enter Xianguo due to certain reasons, it can trade the goods in the free trade zone, or list them, and the government of Xianguo will handle them on its behalf, or entrust trustworthy members of the chamber of commerce to be there. Stay." In fact, to put it bluntly, it means delivering the goods at a fixed place, and there is no need to enter the country.

Ping Xinlu immediately realized that this was the same as they agreed to trade goods at a certain place before, and it was not enough to trade at a fixed border. Who said that some chambers of commerce could not enter other countries now.

However, Xian Wang's approach was just to give them a reminder that Xian Wang's real intention was still in this free trade zone.

"What is this free trade zone?"

"This time, many chambers of commerce left Xianguo and went to the concessions of other countries." Even if he didn't investigate, Qingcang knew that such things must happen.

Ping Xinlu couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

"I don't want to pursue anything, it's human nature." Whether it is for safety reasons or future development considerations, it is understandable to set up bases in other countries. It is an insurance measure not to put eggs in one basket .It's a pity that those countries did not give them the freedom and relaxation that the country has.

"I also admit that I doubt the chamber of commerce."

Ping Xinlu didn't say a word, that's right, those chambers of commerce that were threatened were likely to steal Xianguo's secrets, and there was nothing wrong with shutting out those chambers of commerce with ulterior motives.

"More importantly, I plan to relocate the concession." This is the reason why Qingcang decided to establish a free trade zone.

"Why?" As an old man in the concession, Ping Xinlu has a lot of affection for the concession. Every inch of land there has his traces. That's where his home is, and he doesn't want to move.

"The original concession was a trial site. Now that the success of the concession is confirmed, the concession should also be expanded. Another reason is that the geographical location of the concession is no longer in line with the development of the country." This is indeed the reason Qing Cang considered. "So, I want to integrate the concession with this free trade zone."

Although there was an explanation, Ping Xinlu still felt reluctant at the time.

"In the new concession, I will give you double the amount of occupied land in the original concession. If you have already paid the rent in the original concession, I will not collect it again." Qingcang began to promise benefits. Sure enough, in front of the benefits, some The reluctant Ping Xin was shaken.

"President Ping, what do you think of empty boats?" Qing Cang asked suddenly

Ping Xinlu's eyes lit up, he didn't know what Qing Cang had in mind, but he was very interested in the airship, and then he complimented him a lot.

"I can provide empty boats to merchants." After patiently listening to Ping Xinli's compliments, Qing Cang directly proposed to let Ping Xinli act.

Excitedly, Ping Xinlu was about to ask the price, wanting to show that no matter how much it was, it was a pity that Qingcang didn't give him this chance.

"I won't sell empty boats, but the empty boats and pilots can be borrowed from you."

Ping Xinlu was stunned for a moment, then nodded to express his understanding. This airship unique to Xianguo has been used in military affairs. It is good that Xianguo can lend it to them. As for the price, there is no problem at all. Imagine an airship No matter how much cargo can be carried, how much time can be saved, and many hidden dangers on land can be eliminated, Ping Xinlu feels that no amount of money is worth it.

However, it is a pity that King Xian does not do business. No, it should be said that these merchants are too lucky. You see, even if the empty boat is sold to them, the operator still has to find someone from the country. A solid source of profit. After all, the airships are all soldiers from Xianguo. I heard that the soldiers who enter the airship unit can become servants. How could they join the Wandering Chamber of Commerce with a bright future?

"The current location of the concession is not suitable for the lifting of the airship." In fact, if you want to expand the surrounding area of ​​the concession, you will have to face a lot of mountains, and the city construction does not matter. The suspension function of the airship can Let the empty ship anchor in the mountains.However, the energy of origin stones needs to be consumed all the time in levitation, which is a very wasteful thing. You must know that only he and Liao can make origin stones in Xianguo now. Before other methods are found, there are too many origin stones. Consumption will bring a burden to both of them.

If you want to be on flat land, you can only demolish the original concession, but there is no shelter for the airship. It is not advisable for strategic reasons. In this case, it is better to rebuild a concession, and for the Chamber of Commerce, this matter The loss is not too big.

Hearing what Qing Cang said, Ping Xinlu had no objection. With his eyes, he could see the role that airships can play in future commerce. Businessmen seek profits, silently calculate the gains and losses, and move the concession. Ping Xinlu had no reason to object, and he had no right to object.

After Ping Xinlu met Qing Cang, he left and returned to the concession in an empty boat. He had to tell other chambers of commerce the news.

After Ping Xinxuan left, Qingcang began to think about another issue, that is, land rewards. The land of Xianguo has increased so much, and this time the meritorious ministers will naturally be rewarded, because he only pays attention to the new king's capital, and he almost I forgot, it seems that when those maps were brought out that day, the various suggestions and opinions expressed by those officials were all for those places.

Ah, politics is really a troublesome thing, forget it, call Liao to share his worries.By the way, settle Liao's fiefdom first. The trade zone must be handed over to Liao. Liao knows this aspect best. He doesn't want other people to destroy the free trade zone. The surrounding places can be given to Chi Yuan and Jin Yong. , as deputy, they can help each other close to the free trade zone, which is convenient for possible expansion in the future.

Ask someone to summon Su Yeliao.

"My lord." Su Yeliao came quickly.

Qingcang told him about the plan of the free trade zone, and asked him to discuss a place with Chi Yuan and Jin Yong. After planning the free trade zone, he would reward all the ministers who have made great contributions.

Su Yeliao took over the work assigned by Qing Cang. Since Qing Cang woke up, if he was not in an absolutely sane state, he would not be able to face Qing Cang directly, and even started to get closer to Qing Cang as little as possible.

Su Yeliao felt very painful, really painful, he had never touched it before, and he could make himself more rational, but in those few days of recklessness, he tasted the sweet and intoxicating taste.Once you taste it, you will desire it even more. Every time you get close to Qingcang, you will inevitably think of those touches, those wonderful tastes, and those sins.

Therefore, he would rather keep himself busy, too busy to think about those pictures, those touches, those sweet tastes, so busy that he has no time to get close to his beloved king, and it is better to be tired until the quilt is touched at night, in a dream To relive that sweet sin, and don't want to be sober.

"Liao, don't make yourself too tired." Although Su Yeliao doesn't look tired now, it's not like Qing Cang didn't notice that Su Yeliao has been unusually busy recently.

"My lord, I have grown up and know how to measure and rest, so you don't have to worry." Su Yeliao said with a dreamy smile, how could he not understand that his king was worried about his body, Had the experience of not sleeping once and was refused by his king, he would never do that again, that kind of experience was enough once, how could he do it again, even if he didn’t sleep, he would still use breath adjustment Instead, so he's not tired, really not tired.

Sensing Su Yeliao's insistence, Qing Cang could only tell him to pay attention to rest.

My king, your concern makes me happy, but how can I be so filthy that you should worry about it. Please let me leave for a while, and I will sort out my mood.

Su Yexuan left in an airship and went to the border area to inspect the environment. Qing Cang summoned Patriarch Jinjia, who was the head of the general, and ordered him to give him a list of meritorious officials and meritorious deeds. Personality, there is no possibility of falsification, as the head of the civil servants, the Patriarch of the Chi family will report the level of rewards according to the list of the Patriarchs of the nearby family, and finally let him make the decision.
