Chapter 724 Economic Unification

Facing King Li's questioning, Yuan Lin didn't blink his eyes, "My method can be summed up in four words, that is - economic unification!"

"Oh??? What is economic unification?"

"Before we talk about economic unification, we must first talk about the traditional way of unification. The traditional way of unification is nothing more than military war, military conquest, and unification by force.

This is a coercive unified method, and the loser will be lost forever, so many people dare not fail, and are not willing to be slaughtered, so they will naturally resist desperately.

Under such circumstances, unless one side can destroy all enemies in a devastating way and sweep away all obstacles with absolute superiority, can the Bian country be unified.

But the reality is that no one side can contend against more than three powers at the same time today. This caused the current situation in Bian.

And if no changes are made, it is foreseeable that this situation will continue until Bian State completely disappears. "

King Li stared, and said word by word: "The Bian Kingdom will not disappear! It has been like this for tens of thousands of years, and it will be like this in the future!"

Yuan Lin confronted him tit-for-tat: "Now there is the Kingdom of Shang. The shells and missiles fired from warships at sea can completely cover the entire territory of the Eastern Capital!

If the Kingdom of Shang suddenly attacked the State of Bian in an all-round way, would King Li have the confidence to persist for a year? "

King Li stopped talking. Thinking about the information obtained from Shang Kingdom and the extermination strategy adopted by Shang Kingdom against the monster race, King Li couldn't help shivering.

Yuan Lin paused for a while, and continued: "The rapid rise of the Shang Kingdom has heralded the advent of a new era, and those who cannot keep up with the development of the times will inevitably be eliminated by the times.

This sentence is one of the most popular words in the Shang Kingdom.

The once tyrannical monster clan was eliminated by the times. The tyrannical monster clan can't stop the more powerful arms; now the monster clan's corpses are everywhere, tens of thousands of miles of mountains and forests have been burned, and hundreds of millions of monster clans have been hunted down.

Nowadays, in the Shang Kingdom, bone meal made from the bones of monsters is very popular. It is known as one catty of bone meal and one foundation building pill.

At the same time that the Kingdom of Shang was fighting against the Yaozu, the Kingdom of Shang could also send a fleet to support Haozhou! You can also launch rockets to explore the outer space!

If we don't make any changes, then Bian will be the next demon clan! "

King Li still didn't speak, but the look in his eyes became serious, apparently moved by Yuan Lin.

Yuan Lin continued: "If I were to summarize Bian's past, it would be: the tough military unification method has failed!"

This sentence is resounding.

King Li finally spoke: "Your economic unification will work?"

"I don't know! It depends on whether King Li has the courage to carry it out!"

Li Wang looked at Yuan Lin, "How old are you?"

"Fourteen!"

"Fourteen years... fourteen years old..."

Yuan Lin looked directly at King Li: "As the saying goes: there is no age to be ambitious. Does King Li think so?"

"Then tell me, what is economic unification?"

"Economic unification is soft unification!

Military unification is against the interests of others. And economic unification is to create common interests for all.

We have been in war for too long, and there is no unified foundation in our concepts. Therefore, we must implement economic unification, so that everyone can taste the sweetness of unification, and let everyone see the hope of peace and happiness.

More importantly, economic unification will not put the weak in a life-and-death crisis, so it is easier to implement.

When the whole Bian country forms a unified economy, it will be the moment of Bian country's unification!

In the past, from the east of Bian to the west, caravans had to pay dozens of customs duties and exchange currencies more than a dozen times, and the price paid for the tax was more than ten times the price of the commodity itself. And this is the basis of economic unification, there must be many businessmen supporting us!

The Kingdom of Shang has already set an example. The power of merchants is absolutely beyond our imagination!

The Shang Kingdom protects the interests of the merchants, and the merchants protect the country of the Shang Kingdom! "

King Li's eyes suddenly burst into bright light, "This method is wonderful. But there is one question: who will be the king?"

"The one who is respected, and has certain economic strength and military strength is the king!"

Li Wang asked: "Where should we start economic unification?"

"Cancellation of tariffs! Cancel the tariffs between the Eastern Capital and the surrounding Jiedushi regimes, allow free exchange of caravans. Unify weights and measures, simplify business management methods, and introduce the banking system of the Shang Kingdom.

With the backing of the powerful and firm banks of the Kingdom of Shang, we will escort the economic unification.

Although doing so will cause us to lose some profits, it can bring confidence to everyone as soon as possible and promote economic development and unification.

At the same time, take advantage of the Shang Kingdom's advantages in our port to strengthen its connection with the outside world, and shape the majesty of the Eastern Capital to establish a foundation for future development. "

King Li frowned immediately: "Tariffs are our main source of income. Canceling tariffs means self-destruction. This is absolutely impossible!"

Yuan Lin was mature and didn't panic: "Why don't we start our own business? Why don't we start our own factory? We can buy goods from Shang Kingdom and resell them!"

Um? King Li was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes gradually burst into brilliant brilliance. Looking at Yuan Lin, surprise flashed in his eyes: "Yuan Lin, Dongdu lacks a right minister, would you be willing to take it?"

"willing!"

"Okay. Jiang Long!"

Beside, Jiang Long looked at the scene in front of him stupidly, and didn't react until King Li shouted.

"Jiang Long, you will protect Yuan Lin from now on; if something happens to Yuan Lin, you should raise your head and come see me!"

"Ah... yes, yes!"

After a short pause, King Li asked Yuan Lin, "Next, how are you going to advance?"

Yuan Lin took out a map, which was printed by Shang Kingdom. Yuan Lin's finger strokes: "I'm going to visit Zhongdu, first convince King Jing of Zhongdu.

As long as King Jing can be persuaded, then the Ningde Jiedu envoy, who is sandwiched between the Eastern Capital and the Central Capital, can only agree.

As long as it is successful, we can open the first tariff-free trade route and use it as a pilot. Success again, and we'll be able to extend economic unification to the entire Bian Kingdom. "

"Okay, come, send the right minister to the mansion on the right, and change its name to the right minister's mansion.

Then send someone to send a copy of Zhongdu's materials. Three days later, he went to Zhongdu as an envoy.

Then send someone to communicate with Zhongdu in advance. "

Three days passed quickly; three days later, Yuan Lin was dressed in a gorgeous official mansion, wearing a seal and beautiful jade around his waist, and boarded a plane to fly to Zhongdu. The plane flew directly over the boundary of Ningde Jiedushi and landed at the border of Zhongdu.

The generals of Zhongdu who had been waiting here had come to greet him a long time ago. After a little verification of his identity, he immediately flew to the palace of Zhongdu.

King Jing of Zhongdu seems to be a kind person—at least on the surface. He personally met Yuan Lin and cut straight to the point: "Yuan Lin, it seems that if the economy is opened up, it will be good for you. It will be less good for us."

Yuan Lin was neither humble nor overbearing, "I wonder if Prince Jing has a map here?"

"Yes." Soon someone brought it over.

Yuan Lin pointed to the location of Zhongdu, "King Jing, look, Zhongdu is located in the center of Bian Kingdom, with a unique geographical location. Could it be that Prince Jing is so unconfident?!"

"Haha..." Prince Jing stood up, full of pride, "Then the king agrees. Come."

Immediately a maid came over, holding a vermilion lacquer plate in her hand, on which was a small purple bamboo stick one foot in length.

"This is the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, which is used to ward off evil spirits. This king rewarded you. If you have a chance in the future, welcome to come to Zhongdu as a guest!"

Yuan Lin declined for a while, and finally took over Tianleizhu. The Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, the most yang and most powerful thing, is a first-class treasure whether it is for warding off evil spirits or refining flying swords—well, right now, this Heavenly Thunder Bamboo does not seem to have grown up, but it is also a priceless treasure up.

After bidding farewell to King Jing, Yuan Lin came to Ningde again under the protection of Zhongdu.

Ningde Jiedushi is sandwiched between Zhongdu and Dongdu, and he is a doormat; now that both Zhongdu and Dongdu are going to do a pilot, Ningde Jiedushi has to accept it.

Of course, Yuan Lin also drew a cake for Ningde Jiedushi—you see, what a good location it is sandwiched between Zhongdu and Dongdu.

This simple but very ingenious lobbying was successfully concluded in just five days. Then Zhongdu, Ningde Jiedushi, and Dongdu jointly issued an announcement.

On the sixth day, the borders of the three separatist regimes were opened, and for the first time, merchants in Bian State could do business freely without paying customs duties. There are so many cars and horses that the roads are blocked, but countless businessmen are not angry. Everyone talks and laughs with each other and imagines the future.

Happiness and hope seem to be at hand.
