Chapter 241: The World
The old Hou Ye placed high hopes on Ning Xiaochuan, because he has the potential to cultivate to the level of earth respect, and has the strength to support the entire Jiange Hou Mansion. [For more exciting novels, please visit]
Old Lord Hou said: "After you first master the storefront industry under the Jiangehou Mansion, after a period of experience, I will successively hand over the core industries such as mines, Wufu, army, fiefdoms, etc. to you."
"The Jiangehou Mansion has a total of more than 370,000 storefronts. It involves various industries and is messy and cumbersome. After you take over, how do you plan to manage it?"
After all, Ning Xiaochuan is still too young and has too little experience. On the one hand, the old Hou Ye wanted to test him, and on the other hand, he wanted to give him advice.
No one can rest assured that such a huge property will be handed over to an eighteen-year-old child.
Ning Xiaochuan's brain was running fast, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I think the value of the 370,000 storefront industry cannot be ignored. If it is well managed, it can become the pillar industry of the Jiangehou Mansion, which is stronger than the strength of the army. have the power to deter you."
"Although there are many storefront industries in Jiangehou Mansion, they lack integration. If we can integrate these storefronts into a chamber of commerce alliance and manage them in a unified way, we will definitely be able to create more value. Double, double...or even, Ten times the value."
Old Master Hou said: "The idea of forming an 'Alliance of Chambers of Commerce' was proposed by the ancestors of the previous generation. However, the difficulty of integration is quite large, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses, so it will be nothing."
"First of all, the territory of the Yulan Empire spans a large distance, making it difficult to transport materials and coins."
"Secondly, the stores in Jiangehou's Mansion cover all walks of life, and there are many small pieces. It is even more difficult to integrate them and create value."
"Thirdly, there are many lines in Jiangehou's mansion, each of which has its own interests. If you want to integrate shops, you will definitely touch the interests of your uncles, and they will never agree."
Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "Integrating shops and establishing chambers of commerce is the general trend! It's like the houses in the imperial city. If they are scattered and separated, they are just ordinary buildings. If they are integrated and carefully built, Then it is an imperial palace that affects the world."
"The territory of the Yulan Empire spans a large distance, and it is difficult to transport materials and coins. We can establish a mercenary army of our own and set up post stations for logistics."
Old Hou Ye raised his brows and asked in confusion, "Logistics?"
"It is to escort materials specifically to facilitate the transfer of resources and maximize benefits. Wherever you want to transport them, you can immediately transport them to that place.
"
Old Hou Ye nodded, and smiled in admiration: "This is a good idea. (Starting) For our Jiangehou Mansion, it is not difficult to develop a mercenary army. It is also easy to establish post stations in various places. However, materials can be escorted, but coins cannot be easily escorted.”
Ning Xiaochuan said: "While establishing a logistics system, we can also establish a money system. We open banks, sell banknotes, and encourage people to deposit and borrow. As long as the heavy money is converted into banknotes, the transfer of money will become a breeze. "
Old Hou Ye said: "Issuing banknotes? No one has done it at all, and others may not trust it. A banknote and a thousand dollars, many people will still choose the real big money."
Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "As long as Jiangehou's Mansion does not collapse, then these banknotes are absolutely valid. Jiangehou's Mansion has stood for thousands of years, and the wind and rain do not change. Jiangehou's Mansion is our brand, and Jiangehou's Mansion is our reputation." Guaranteed. Of course, the issuance of banknotes is indeed not something that can be accomplished overnight, and it will not be possible to achieve this feat until the Chamber of Commerce Alliance in the Jiangehou Mansion is successfully formed and has a great influence."
Old Lord Hou said: "You want to integrate various industries and form a chamber of commerce. However, the industries in the Jiangehou Mansion are too fragmented. There are hundreds of thousands of shops in total. Without decades or hundreds of years, you will never be able to successfully integrate them. .”
"The most profitable industry will always be a monopoly industry."
Ning Xiaochuan said: "If I am in charge of the stores in the Jiangehou Mansion, then I will definitely cut through the mess quickly, directly sell those small industries, buy other industries, and realize the monopoly of the industry."
"monopoly?"
Ning Xiaochuan nodded, and said: "I will sell all other industries, and only develop mysterious beasts, pastures, and weapons."
The old Hou Ye's heart moved, and he said: "Why only develop these three major industries? You must know that these three major industries are not the most profitable industries."
Ning Xiaochuan said: "The most profitable industry is 'mysterious medicine', but it is a pity that it is monopolized by the three major halls of nourishing the mind. With the financial resources of the Jiangehou Mansion, it can't compete with the Dajinpeng Palace or the imperial court at all. Why don't we give up these industries? , find another way?"
Ning Xiaochuan said again: "Actually, Xuan Beast and Mu Yuan can be classified into the same industry, because they train mounts, war horses, and war pets."
"On the field, an army with a mysterious beast steed can slaughter an army without a mysterious beast steed. It is the key to the strength of the army. Inside the empire, all walks of life need mounts and steeds. and the source of human power.”
"As long as we control the power source of the entire empire and control the transportation hub, then all other industries will be in our hands."
Ning Xiaochuan continued: "The reason why I want to develop weapons is because the Yulan Empire builds a country with martial arts. Whether it is a warrior or not, they will use weapons. If the Jiangehou Mansion can monopolize more than 50% of the Yulan Empire's war The manufacture of weapons and the sale of weapons, then the Jiangehou Mansion is a well-deserved villa of the God of Weapons, in charge of the world's sharp weapons. The price of every weapon has to be set by us, even the weapons in the army, we must be invited build."
Ning Xiaochuan said: "When we firmly hold these two industries in our hands and develop them to the extreme, then it will be easy to expand other industries. When the Jiangehou Mansion has established a huge army and business empire, even if It is not impossible to seize the world of the Yu family."
"Boom!"
Old Hou Ye crushed the porcelain cup in his hand, his eyes became sharper, and he stared at Ning Xiaochuan firmly.
At this moment, he woke up and understood the real purpose of Ning Xiaochuan's words. He thought to himself, "This little guy has great ambitions. He seems to want to conquer the world at such a young age. However, as the future leader of Jiangehoufu If the heir does not have such ambitions, it is impossible to become a great weapon."
Old Hou Ye felt that he had underestimated Ning Xiaochuan before.
In fact, Ning Xiaochuan didn't think about conquering the world, nor did he think about being the emperor of the Yulan Empire. Speaking of this, he just wanted to deal with Emperor Yulan and protect his relatives and friends.
Without strong strength and influence, what do you use to protect your relatives and friends?
Just like back then, Old Hou Ye knew that it was Emperor Yulan who killed his son, but he could only choose to swallow his anger.
The old master pondered for a long time, waved his hand, and said, "Go down! This matter is of great importance, I have to think about it again."
Ning Xiaochuan also knows that this matter is no small matter, for young people, he may agree with high spirits. However, for the old Hou Ye who has decades of experience, he has to be cautious, more cautious.
This is related to the success or failure of the Jiangehou Mansion!
After Ning Xiaochuan retreated, Uncle Ji came out from the shadows and bowed to the old Hou Ye!
"Do you think what he said is feasible?" Old Hou Ye said.
Ji Bo respectfully said: "The young master is a man of great courage and boldness, but he is still a bit younger."
Old Hou Ye nodded, and said: "Emperor Yulan will not just watch the Jiangehou Mansion control all the soldiers and horses in the world. If you make a wrong move, you may lose everything."
Ji Bo said: "It used to be like this, but now..."
"Um?"
Ji Bo continued: "For Emperor Yulan, the Jiangehou Mansion is not the biggest threat. What he needs to solve most urgently are the 'Great Jinpeng Palace' and the 'Demon Gate'. These two powerful enemies, one inside and one outside, They are all powerful and have the power to subvert the entire empire."
"If the Jiangehou Mansion can develop quietly in this special time gap, by the time Emperor Yulan, the Great Jinpeng King, and the Devil Emperor all lose in the battle, the Jiangehou Mansion will have mastered more than half of the entire empire's weapons and battles." Ju, when the time comes...then maybe you will be able to reap the fruits of victory and become the final winner."
The old master also nodded, and said: "For Yulan Dadi and King Jinpeng, they must have their eyes on the army. But we have found another way, secretly developing weapons and war horses, combining these two industries It is firmly in their hands, and when they wake up, it will not be an easy task to deal with the Jiangehou Mansion again."
"How are they going to deal with Jiange Hou Fu? We have the weapons and steeds in our hands. Could it be that their army is going to deal with us with their bare hands?" Ji Bo said with a smile, "Young Master's move is called 'Drawing from the Bottom'. It's really sinister." , enough ruthless."
The old Hou Ye's eyes were solemn, and he pondered for a long time and said: "Perhaps, we should really let go of the power and give it to him completely, let him do it by himself, and see what kind of situation he can break out of?"
Ning Xiaochuan's coronation ceremony came as scheduled, and it was held in an ancestral land in the Jiangehou Mansion.
The ancestral land is located on the edge of the imperial city, inside a manor.
In the center of the manor, there is a 100-meter-high altar built with blue-red boulders, which looks like a flat-topped hill, very large and majestic.
Every generation of heirs of the Jiangehou Mansion will be crowned here to worship the heavens, gods, and ancestors, and invite the princes and imperial court teachers to witness the birth of the new heir.
On the altar, tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, chickens, and dogs were piled up, among them, there were huge mysterious beasts, and four hundred slaves!
They are all sacrifices, they will be pushed into the altar and made into blood.
Because, Ning Xiaochuan also specifically negotiated with the old Hou Ye about the slave sacrifice, and felt that it was too cruel to do so!
The old Hou Ye insisted on using slaves as sacrifices, "This is a rule left by our ancestors, and no one can break it! The slaves we choose are also voluntary sacrifices."
When the heir of any prince is crowned, a large-scale sacrifice must be carried out. This is a tradition that no one can change, and it represents the supreme "divine right".
Imperial power cannot be violated, nor can divine power be violated.
