Chapter 462: Imperial Merchant
Song Jia heard the words, her expression relaxed a little, and she asked: "If it is broken, it will be erected. If it is broken, it will be broken. Where will it stand?"
In Song Jia's eyes, the Song family was in a mess at this time, and his father was in power, so there was really nothing worthy of praise, but a heavy burden on his back.
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, "Before, I had a conversation with my uncle. Now that Shanhai City has occupied Zhaoqing County, the Song family will withdraw from the management of Tianshuang County, and instead form the Song Family Chamber of Commerce, returning to the family's old business. Your elder brother Before Song Wen withdrew from Tianshuang County, he had already brought out all the funds from Tianshuang County, isn't this a good time to form a chamber of commerce? You can write to your uncle to explain this."
"There are many chambers of commerce in Shanhai City. It's not easy for the Song family to gain a foothold with their little capital." Song Jia is a smart woman who is also quite knowledgeable about business operations.
For a chamber of commerce, if it wants to gain a foothold, the right time, place and people are indispensable. Even so, it will take several generations of painstaking efforts to gain a considerable scale and gain a firm foothold.
Song's Chamber of Commerce, except for a little start-up capital, has no contacts, no products that can be sold, and no reputation.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, filled with gunpowder.
"Anyway, I'm also the future son-in-law of the Song family, so naturally I won't treat them badly." Ouyang Shuo saw Song Jia's worry, and said with relief: "For one thing, the more than 68,000 yuan that Song Wen brought out from the Tianshuang County Branch of Sihai Bank I will not recycle the gold coins, but directly convert them into low-interest loans for their use. Second, the Song Chamber of Commerce will become the exclusive agent of the Pearl of the Territory. Third, it will also fund ten merchant ships of the Song Chamber of Commerce. So Once this happens, the chamber of commerce will have funds, products and channels, enough to gain a foothold in Shanhai City. How the chamber of commerce will develop in the future depends on how my uncle operates. I believe that with my uncle's business ability, the rise of the Song's chamber of commerce is only a matter of time .”
When Song Jia heard this, her eyes turned red, and she said in a low voice, "Wuyi, you don't have to do this." She knew very well that her lover had broken the precedent for the Song family.
In Shanhai City, the so-called "Imperial Merchants" appeared for the first time.
Ouyang Shuo's arrangement this time was not only to make up for the Song family, but also not to make things difficult for Song Jia. As Song Jia's daughter, Song Jia has a prominent status. If the family does not lend a helping hand when the family is most difficult, they will be stabbed in the back.
Taking a ten thousand step back, this time to send charcoal in the snow is also a win-win situation.
In the chamber of commerce circle, installing a trusted chamber of commerce would be beneficial to Ouyang Shuo. The premise is that the Song Chamber of Commerce will not rely on his support to wantonly break the rules of the mall and do evil.
Ouyang Shuo believed that Song Tianxiong was not a fool. Not only not confused, but also very shrewd. With Song Tianxiong's ability, he will certainly be able to stir up troubles in the Shanhai City Chamber of Commerce circle.
He also doesn't want the commodity channel of Shanhai City to be blocked by the Hequanji Chamber of Commerce in the future.
With the prosperity of Shanhai City's business, the dependence on Wangcheng for commodities is getting lower and lower. Spices, rouge gouache workshops, jewelry processing workshops, high-quality ceramics, jade processing workshops, etc., which were scarce before, have been set up in Shanhai City one after another, driven by major chambers of commerce, and no longer need to be imported.
The only problem is the problem of raw materials.
The scented trees needed for rouge powder are found in Qiongzhou Island, which is one of the reasons why major chambers of commerce love Yashan City. In the mountains, all kinds of spices are worth thousands of gold.
The only regret is that there is not a single jade mine in the land of the three counties. All raw jade stones are dependent on imports. Once there is a shortage of raw materials, the jade market will immediately slump.
None of the four major jade stones in China has a relationship with Shanhai City. On the contrary, Pyu, which borders Yunnan Province, is a big country producing jade. No way, I plan to fight it in the future.
In addition to jade, all kinds of gemstones are also scarce resources.
Shanhai City has an excellent geographical location, but it doesn't have any advantage when it comes to scarce resources. However, most of the people in Shanhai City are wealthy, and their demand for jade and jewelry is increasing day by day.
This alone has allowed the chambers of commerce in the major royal cities to make a lot of money. Especially the chambers of commerce from Xiangyang and Luoyang are the main jade suppliers.
The jade lifeblood of Shanhai City is in the hands of these chambers of commerce.
That's why Ouyang Shuo thought about cultivating direct descendant chambers of commerce.
In addition to Song's Chamber of Commerce, the same is true for Cui's Chamber of Commerce. The relationship between the Cui family and Shanhai City has become increasingly close. Ouyang Shuo heard that the Cui family even intended to move the family headquarters to Shanhai City.
With the support of these two direct-line chambers of commerce, Ouyang Shuo was able to move freely.
Of course, there are pros and cons.
With the appearance of various forces, the interest disputes in Shanhai City became more and more frequent. How to coordinate the interests of all parties is a test for Ouyang Shuo.
At this point, it is time to really test the level of a lord.
...
To get rid of the beauty's knots, there is one more matter, Ouyang Shuo wants to discuss with Song Jia.
This personal conquest, once entering Zhaoqing County, the alliance channel will be blocked. Therefore, it is necessary for Ouyang Shuo to arrange for someone to represent him in the alliance to continue to perform his duties.
Although the members of the Shanhai League seem to rarely get together except for battles. In fact, more than 90% of alliance affairs are communicated and coordinated through alliance channels.
During this battle, Xunlong Dianxue and the others even wanted to send reinforcements, but Ouyang Shuo refused.
From Ouyang Shuo's point of view, the situation in front of him was still under Shanhai City's control, and it was not time to call in reinforcements. If they want to attack a county, they need to unite with allies. In that case, the light of Shanhai City will be much dimmed. This is not what Ouyang Shuo wants.
The duty of all allies is to fully expand their influence in the region.
The fall of Tianshuang County is the biggest negative teaching material. Although Song Wen formed the [Shanhai League - Tianshuang League] under Ouyang Shuo's suggestion, it is obvious that the so-called [Sky Frost League] is a dish in front of the [Southern League] and cannot stand it at all. devastated.
At the critical moment, the members of [Sky Frost League] collectively lost their voices, which made Ouyang Shuo very disappointed. He does not hope that the regional alliance formed by other allies is also so vulnerable.
Among the allies, the most difficult one is naturally て砆. In the entire Kyoto area, I am afraid that there are not many lords who dare to form an alliance with て砆.
It is reported that Di Chen has already prepared to compress the living space of Wanshi County again, with the ultimate goal of completely eradicating Wanshi County.
After all, the entire capital province has been regarded as forbidden by Di Chen. In his core area, there is a territory of the [Shanhai League], and he also knows how uneasy and unhappy Di Chen will be.
Now that he knew Dichen's intentions, Ouyang Shuo would naturally not let him succeed.
Recently, Ouyang Shuo has been interested in increasing his support for Wanshi County, including giving priority to the purchase of weapons and equipment, and increasing financial support for the Wanshi County branch of Universal Bank.
Wanshi County is the bridgehead of the [Shanhai League] in the north of China, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
Not only Ouyang Shuo, but other allies also supported him unanimously. Bai Hua, Feng Prison Huang and the others also gave priority to selling weapons and equipment to Wanshi County. The other allies have no complaints about this.
Originally, he was ready to be abandoned by the alliance. How could he have thought that it would end like this. The young man was taciturn and not good at words. He just swore to be a rock and firmly nailed to the north.
Except for the siege lion in Jiangchuan province and the Xunlong acupuncture point in southern Fujian province, they all encountered strong opponents, and the situation was not optimistic in the face of challenges from local tyrants.
Under such circumstances, how could Ouyang Shuo ask them to send troops to reinforce Shanhai City.
Even Feng Prison Huang faces many challenges. To the northwest of Luofeng City is Shuluo County, to the northeast is Handan City, to the southwest is Luoye County, to the south is Luoyang, and to the south is Danyang City.
Looking around, Luofeng City was surrounded by the [Yanhuang League].
The reason for this is also related to the Six Hegemons of Handan at the beginning of the game. Before the game even started, the six major forces had reached a consensus to carve up the hinterland of China in advance.
Almost all of the six territories are concentrated in the Central Plains.
Unexpectedly, in the game, Phoenix and the family had a falling out and withdrew from the alliance.
In this way, Luofeng City was naturally surrounded by allies, and suddenly became a pack of wolves looking around.
At this stage, the forces in the major territories have not yet left the province, so there is nothing wrong with it. In the middle and late stages of the game, the provinces began to compete for hegemony among the territories, and the situation of Luofeng City would be very difficult.
Because of this, Feng Prison Huang will plan ahead and desperately increase the influence of the territory in Taiyuan Province, strive to complete the unification of Taiyuan Province as soon as possible, and accumulate strength for future wars.
Among all the allies, only Bai Hua was relatively successful. The overlord of the Yunnan Province in his previous life has gradually revealed his glory and conquered cities and territories in the Yunnan Province.
Ouyang Shuo actually has an overall plan for the whole southern border, it's just a few words, it's inconvenient to announce it to the public now, so he can only figure it out secretly.
But to realize Ouyang Shuo's strategic plan, the premise is that all members must strive for success. At the very least, in their provinces, they must gain dominance.
Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
Therefore, in the future, not only will Ouyang Shuo not bother your allies, but Shanhai City will even send troops to aid them when the time is right, and assist them in establishing the hegemony of the tripod region.
The entire alliance exchanges information every day.
Once Ouyang Shuo fails to receive the alliance's information, the entire alliance will probably be messed up.
In the past, when Ouyang Shuo was not around, Mulanyue played this role.
However, after all, Mulanyue is still serving as the magistrate of Mulan Mansion, and she is busy with government affairs. According to Ouyang Shuo's investigation, the girl Yueyue has good potential, and she is preparing to train her to make further progress.
In the future, when the time is right, Ouyang Shuo plans to promote Mulan Yue to the county guard.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo had to find a replacement.
Sun Xiaoyue also played this role before, but Xiaoyue seemed to be determined to stay in Yashan City forever, and she might not plan to move in a short time.
In desperation, Ouyang Shuo thought of Song Jia.
After much deliberation, Song Jia was the most suitable. All members of the alliance know that Song Jia is the only certified girlfriend of Ouyang Shuo, the future hostess of Shanhailing, there is no problem with her identity.
The most important thing is that Song Jia's ability is enough to take on this great task.
Don't look at Song Jia who likes to wield knives and swords in the game, but in reality, she is also a spoiled brat in shopping malls. Both communication skills and coordination skills are excellent.
I just don't know if Song Jia is willing to go down the mountain.
