Chapter 1901 The Dai Family Helps

"To be honest, I have been paying attention to the development of your Cao's firm in the Western Empire. In my opinion, you should have completed a series of transactions with Tuoba, although many people think that Tuoba's All the property was confiscated by His Majesty the Emperor, but I don't think so. I don't believe that a huge family has assets of only a few trillions of silver, and there will definitely be more money flowing to I don't know where it goes. Yes, I think you can give me the answer." Dai Lin's words surprised Li Cong, you must know that this acceptance plan must be carried out under extremely confidential conditions, and those people have no chance to pass this news It was leaked, this guy can know the answer by relying on some guesses, he is really an amazing guy, it seems that he really found the right person, this guy will bring him good benefits in the future.

"Hehe, if someone asks me this, I will definitely say that this matter has nothing to do with me, but you are different. You are the person in charge of my Cao's firm in the Western Empire in the future. I can tell you directly, I I have received tens of trillions of assets from the entire Tuoba family, including ten trillions of silver in business assets, and I will hand them over to you in the future." Li Cong said with a smile, as if he was talking about a common thing , there is nothing to hide.

"Frankly speaking, I am very shocked. I think my vision is very high, but I am still very surprised to hear such a figure, but I have to remind you that the assets of the Tuoba family should not be There are so few, they must have hidden some of it themselves." Li Cong is also clear about what Dai Lin said. In the past, Li Cong thought that he and the Tuoba family were already friends, but since the Tuoba family would not let him It can be seen from the base that in fact, Tuoba did not regard himself as a friend. He was their friend when they were in danger, but not when they were not in danger.

"This is not something we should care about. You don't have to hand over all the money the family has." Li Cong felt very uncomfortable when this matter was mentioned, and Tuoba also entered Li Cong's friends list above was deleted.

"Hehe, there is deep resentment in it. I can feel it. It is not a simple matter to be dismissed. I understand." Dai Lin said with a smile, although he did not know Li Cong for a long time. No matter how long it is, but I still know Li Cong very well, at least on the surface, Li Cong also nodded with a smile.

"Don't mention these unhappy things. I'm not in the mood to mention it. Today I dug up a big fish like you. I'm in a good mood. You are a big fish yourself, but as far as I know you wear There are still a lot of small fish in the house, why? Take them with me?" Li Cong also has a lot of business talents from the Dai family, which is also good.

"Haha, you kid, I heard it from other places, you just say it was what Manjia said, we are all a family. You kid, you are really slippery, this girl can tell the family affairs clearly Yes, business was also a very important part of our Dai family before our Dai family, but you also know that the business we did at that time was completely different from that in this city. We did business in the Warcraft Mountains. Every day All of them are huge profits, not even one-thousandth of that here. Of course, the cost will definitely not be that much. I am a little worried. They are definitely talents. It’s only middle age, they will have a lot of time, energy and ability, but I’m worried that they may not be able to adapt to the current situation, I need a certain amount of time, not only they need time,

I also need time, everything needs to be learned slowly. "Dai Lin knows that some of his subordinates are also idle at home at this time. Some of them are members of the Dai family, and some of them are not members of the Dai family, but they have served in the Dai family for a long time. At this time, they want to find Their words are still very easy.

"There is no problem with this. I will have many branches in various places. At the beginning, I can let them serve as deputy positions. What I lack most now is senior management personnel. If you are willing to join That's great, but I have to say my ugly words, now is not the time for you to be in the Warcraft Mountains, I don't have that much salary for you." This point must be made clear, this brother has to It's clear to settle accounts, not to mention the unreliable relationship between the two people. How can those shopkeepers of the Dai family earn one million silver in a year in the Warcraft Mountains? That's impossible here. , the shopkeepers in some shops around here can earn a hundred and ten taels of silver a year, which is considered good. Even if Li Cong operates a profiteering industry, they also understand that it is impossible to have such a high profit.

"This is natural. They are not fools and understand. In fact, they are just like me. They don't need money. How much can a person eat in a lifetime? In the past, they all had their own money, and they could Live the rest of my life well, just like me. In the past, what I hoped most was to rest here honestly, and just live a leisurely life every day. But now, it’s really free, that feeling Don't mention how uncomfortable it is, I will arrange their salary level, which is about the same as that of the shopkeepers of the surrounding merchants." Dai Lin understands this very well, no matter how profitable the business in the mainland is, it can't be compared with It's the same as the Warcraft Mountains, and there is another one that you don't have to worry about your own safety here. You will be killed by Warcraft at any time in the Warcraft Mountains.

"Of course, you can't help but give them a little sweetness. You can tell them that I have some life-prolonging pills. Although it can't guarantee that people can live for a long time, it is still no problem to live for a few years. Those who express it can get it." Li Cong said with a smile, this Yannian Dan can be said to be made by Li Cong himself, in fact, this material is the fruit of the hidden fairy on the earth, this thing is the same in this world It is useful, but it can only be useful to ordinary people. Those warriors and magicians have already adapted the state of their bodies because of their own skills. This thing is of no use to them. This is what Li Cong plans to do in the future. Some good things launched can return a lot of funds.

"Haha, what ordinary people hope most is that their lifespan can be extended. This thing is simply a boon for ordinary people. By the way, if you keep eating this thing, won't you die? What about that person? Isn't it going to become like an old monster? The population is already very large, which is not good for the entire empire." Dai Lin suddenly thought of another question, which is indeed a question worth thinking about . This matter is not easy to handle.

"Hehe, do you think this stuff came out for nothing on the street? That's impossible. Ordinary people can't eat this stuff. Only the rich can afford it. I think ten thousand The price of two silver ones is okay. According to my estimation, the first one can have three to five years of effect, but the second lesson is half of it. The next step is a quarter, and then One-eighth. In the end, it is useless at all." Li Cong said.

"Well, it's very good. Your pricing is also quite reasonable. There are dozens to a hundred families in this county that can have hundreds of thousands of silver, and they can all afford this price." , As for the common people, I think it’s better to forget it, they don’t have the money, and they can’t adjust the total population much.” Hearing what Li Cong said, this guy is relieved, the main thing is to see how to launch the next step This thing is gone. Going up to tell people the effect is absolutely unbelievable, and there must be a favorable evidence. This guy quickly entered his role.

"By the way, do you have any relationship with the upper echelons of the Western Empire now? Although it is said that businessmen are the most despised by officials, businessmen are very important to officials, and political and business forces are not separated. , I don’t know how far you have achieved this?” If the Dai family has upper-level power, it should also open up the situation. It's a pity that they used to exist, but now that the Tuoba family is gone, it's good that they haven't been implicated, let alone develop, so they can only stay within the scope of this county and stay honestly, otherwise There are times when I suffer.

"This is what we have developed in general. As you know, we were not originally in the Western Empire. In addition to my relationship with the Tuoba clan, the people here know a little bit more or less. They are wise and safe. It won’t have too much connection with me, now I have a good relationship with Prince Yulan who is in charge of the southern occupied area, but I don’t think this guy has much say in national affairs.” Li From speaking directly.

"Well, you guessed well. Although this Prince Yulan has the seat of a prince, he can be said to be the last in the list of princes. This power is not very good, and this kid is not very good at being a man. This is everywhere. They are all arrogant and domineering. If it weren't for the emperor's favor, this guy might have been killed. This guy doesn't have many friends in this empire. On the contrary, this guy's enemies are everywhere. The previous paragraph At that time, I heard that this guy offended the Minister of the Imperial Household Department again. It turned out that the younger brother of the Minister of the Household Department was responsible for the military rations in the occupied area. Benefits can’t be like this.” Unfortunately, what Dai Lin said was done by Li Cong, Li Cong felt a little hot when he heard what Dai Lin said, and he didn’t expect that what he did was so reckless.

"Hehe...um...that, actually we did this thing, and the military rations in the occupied area will be ours in the future." Li Cong said with some difficulty, it seems that Dai Lin really didn't know the specific situation, look at his The expression will know.

"Well, I really didn't think of this matter. To be honest, the Western Empire is a little different from your Northern Empire. The grain output of the Western Empire has always been the largest among the four empires. Grain merchants can also be said to be There are a lot of them, but most of the food from the Western Empire has been sold to you, the Northern Empire and the other two empires, and the food in your own territory is not very cheap, I wonder what price you offer?" Dai Lin deservedly It's a business wizard, and it's very clear about these.

"Hehe, twelve cents a catty." Li Cong said, this price is already very shocking.

"My God, I can only say that Prince Yulin earned too much this time. The price of twelve coins is really very low in the Western Empire. No wonder you can win this project, but I want to tell you Yes, although this project belongs to you, you have to be careful. The family of Hubu Shangshu belongs to the traditional Liang family. Dozens of provinces are not a small number. Well, let’s not go over the civilian use, the food for the tens of millions of people in the army is not a big deal for them. But the civilian use is completely different.” Although Dai Lin has not been in the Western Empire for a long time, But some things are always better than Li Cong.

"This is natural. I also know that some things should not be so excessive. I also asked my people to give a good gift to the house of Shangshu Hubu. I believe they will be satisfied." Li Cong did the same thing. It will be watertight.

"What kind of gift can impress them? You must know that you have robbed someone's business. Cutting off people's lives is like killing their parents. I don't think this matter will be settled so easily." Dai Lin was a little worried. Said. In the past, these things had nothing to do with me, but this time it was different. I will take office soon, and these things can be said to be my own affairs soon, so I still need to understand it carefully.

"Hehe, I know that although Shangshu's family is engaged in grain trading, they are just middlemen. They also need a lot of grain. I will sell them 1.5 billion tons of grain at a price of nine cents. What do you think? Isn’t it a big gift? I think they will be happy for this matter, and the shipping fee is very little, and they are only the price of twelve coins. I promise to send them to the large warehouse they stipulate Yes." This is also what Li Cong thought of temporarily. It can be said that Li Cong's food on the RTY planet is cooked three times a year, and all of them are large-scale mechanized operations. The cost can be said to not need to be considered. No matter how much price Li Cong gives, these grains are all right, and Li Cong's so much grain can further hit the self-cultivation agriculture on this planet, and reducing the cost of grain merchants can reduce their selling prices. At that time, when those landlords feel that the price of grain is no longer profitable, they will naturally not put their money on it. Maybe there will be more ways out. At that time, the price of land will also decrease. Li Cong could buy these lands, and Li Cong was the biggest landlord at that time.

"1.5 billion tons, your handwriting is really not small. I really don't know where you got so much grain, but what is certain is that 1.5 billion tons of grain can definitely impress them, maybe in the future You will become their supplier, and their costs in all aspects are definitely not low. Grain trading is not a huge profit industry, but if the profit is bigger, there will be a lot of it. They will definitely use your grain to make other All the grain merchants were killed." Dai Lin will soon be able to see the near future. Such a person is really needed by Li Cong. Li Cong feels more and more how correct his original decision was. If such a person joins Cao's Commercial Bank, it will definitely develop rapidly.

"It's just these? What about the future?" Li Cong wanted to test whether this guy could see his future plans.

"You must not be so kind. Tell others to do all the good things. You are a behind-the-scenes hero. I think you want to destroy the entire Western Empire. All the grain sales will come to you at the end. In my own hands, at that time, I think you have more things to control. Although the plan is good, this goal can also make my blood boil, but to be honest, I think this is not easy to achieve. You must know that the royal family There is still a lot of land in their hands. It is impossible for them not to produce food. The royal family also has the most slaves. It can be said that their food has nothing to do with the outside. If they really take out all the food, you will occupy it. The market may shrink sharply." Dai Lin's words also made Li Cong start to think, indeed, the royal family has too much land, and the royal family also has a lot of slaves. Land and population are a part of food production. The biggest constraint is that the royal family does not lack these two things.

"I don't have such a big ambition to eat up the entire empire. If that's the case, the royal family will attack me before I develop." Li Cong said with a smile. When he has not developed, he must maintain Be sure to be sober, in the era of supremacy of imperial power, it is better to be honest, otherwise you may die very...

"By the way, food and trade are your two basic industries. In fact, what I want to know is how the airship business is doing. That is a very good business. I feel that if it is done well, it must definitely exceed food. That There is no competition for you, why don't you do that?" Dai Lin also knew about that.

"The airship transportation industry is also developing, but because of various restrictions, it is not so simple to start quickly. There are not many things that are put into use first, and most things will take a certain amount of time. At present, I want to put the main energy of this thing on the Warcraft Mountains, where the profit is the largest. As for the human living side, there are no more than two hundred at most, and all of them are placed in the mountains. In terms of long-distance transportation, I think it is enough to have two routes between the Western Empire and the Northern Empire, and there is only one round trip in more than ten days. What do you mean?" At present, these two routes can be said to be doing very well Yes, although a one-hundred-thousand-dollar air ticket is a bit expensive, there are still many people who can take it. It can be completed in just over a month for several years, and they will still choose to save time.

At present, one route from the Western Empire to the Northern Empire is in the south, and the other is in the east. The southern route is from the big city in the south of the Western Empire to Jiangning City. If you usually rely on walking, it will take six months. , if it is a carriage, it is possible for a year or two. Those who walk for ten or eight years may not be able to arrive. The airship takes 37 days. The price is 1.7 million taels per person. The current attendance rate can reach 100%. The express delivery service is also very good. Eastern routes The price is slightly cheaper, 1.2 million taels of silver per person. It is also because the distance is closer. Many rich and noble people like this thing very much. Most of them sit and go sightseeing.

In addition to the business of using airships, Li Cong also thought of another transportation business, that is, the civil transportation business. Many such civil transportation kings on the earth make very good money. Li Cong found that although many people here are not very good far door. But there are also many people who need to go to other places. As long as there is a small amount of money, it is estimated that this matter can be done. The preliminary idea has already come out, but this has to be carried out in the Northern Empire. After all, the foundation is thicker there.

Li Cong did a market survey, and the connection between a county in the Northern Empire and the seven or eight counties below is very good, and at least tens of thousands of people travel to and from various places every day. They either go to run errands or visit relatives and friends. On the way, they either take their own car or take someone else's car. What Li Cong wants to earn is the money of these people who take other people's cars. Done well, don’t worry if they don’t come here, first of all, the price is clearly marked here, and it’s absolutely innocent, unlike some small merchants who transport people, the price is the same when you get on the bus, and you throw it away on the way After that, you have no place to reason, and the price is not fixed. Today is the price and tomorrow will be the price, and it is not an exact time. They leave when they want.

Li Cong's plan is to use that kind of mule to pull the cart. This thing is very powerful and cheap. There are many such things in the countryside, and you can get a lot of them casually. Cars are also divided into several grades. The rich and the nobles naturally ride in separate carriages, which are more expensive. The common people make it like that kind of bus style, and they also have their own independent seats inside. The lowest class is that kind of convertible car. You can just go up and find a place to stay in it. It usually only costs a dozen yuan. Of course, the speed of this kind of car is not very fast, but there is only one car. The advantage is that it is cheap.

"As for the airship, I want to vigorously develop it, but the transportation and network things you mentioned are very interesting. I can also try it on a small scale. I am very interested in this project. The influence of our Dai family in this county is still good, why don't you give me a year to experiment on a small scale here, I have a cousin, I recommend him to specialize in this business, so I have the energy to go Do other things." Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing, this guy quickly saw the profits in the transportation industry, and now people don't have that habit, so naturally it hasn't started yet, when people have that habit, this Things will also become a profitable industry.

"Really? I don't have anything to do today anyway. Why don't you tell me about the plan first, so that I can test you and see what kind of salary I can give you." Li Cong said with a smile, the transportation plan itself also I don't have a clue, mainly because I don't know much about some things here. Looking at Dai Lin's plan may be of great help to me.

"Hehe, this is a test for me. I may not be very good at what I said. You also know that your plan is not what I knew in the past. It is inevitable that there will be some omissions in such a new thing. The boss doesn't want it." I was fired because of some mistakes." Dai Lin said with a smile, Li Cong also nodded, it is already superior to others to have an idea so quickly.

The county where Dai Lin is located has one county and twelve counties. Dai Lin's plan is to connect these twelve county towns with the traffic between the county towns, although there are major roads passing through them. However, due to the limitation of the terrain, it is impossible to build a large-scale one. This requires more and more intensive trains every day. As for the traffic between the county and the county, it is not impossible to take care of that in the first place. Yes, the first half of the year is to connect the county with the county.

The closest distance between the county town and a dozen counties is only about 30 kilometers, and the farthest is about 90 kilometers, which is not very far. However, it is nearly 200 kilometers from the northernmost county seat to the southernmost county seat, which is not a very short distance. Nowadays, if people are on the road, if they use fast horses, they can cover 300 kilometers a day. If not It's not bad to be able to travel forty kilometers a day with a horse-drawn carriage. What Dai Lin meant was to establish connections with the counties that can be reached on the same day. Walking at night is always not so safe. Even the Dai family dare not say that the bandits around them are not here to make trouble.

In this way, only five counties meet the standards. Basically, each county can have thousands of contact persons with the county every day. Some of them use their own means of transportation, and some just hitchhike casually. Dai Lin Think of the three cars. One is an independent carriage, which is fast, and the price is 50 kilometers per person, three taels of silver, and 50 kilometers for those who are less than 50 kilometers. A county can make ten cars, and a county town can make fifty cars. This number was considered a bit risky at the beginning.

The second class is the kind of carriage that sits in rows above. This Li Cong has already thought about it. Improve the current carriage and strive to accommodate 20 people in one carriage. The speed of these people may be faster than that of the carriage. The fastest one is half as slow, but it’s okay. The price is set at one tael of silver and fifty kilometers. , Draw a grid like this, each person has a grid, and the price of three hundred yuan and fifty kilometers should be no problem. After lengthening the car, there must be at least sixty people in each car, and eight mules are used to move forward , the number should be the largest, and most people still want to make this thing, the biggest reason is to save money.

Dai Lin himself said that they might feel that the price was a bit expensive at the beginning of this plan, but for those who are in a hurry, the price is not very expensive. If they can create an escort in the future, If the two sides can be safe, the price can be higher. The empire advertises that there will be no bandits, but robbery happens everywhere, and the insecurity of the road is also the most worrying problem for most businessmen.

Li Cong himself has the same idea, and this is not the time to discuss some details. Besides, Li Cong has been here for a long time. What Dai Lin said is very good. Just perfect it. Li Cong approved Dai Lin's plan, and asked Dai Lin to call up the old department within half a month and prepare to start taking office. The affairs of the Western Empire will also be handed over to Dai Lin. Of course, Bai Er will stay here as a deputy. Bai Er's brain may not be very good, and he feels a little powerless about some things, but Bai Er's loyalty does not need to be considered. I have never dared to let it go completely, it is better to have someone watch over it, Dai Lin also knows this, so he is also very cooperative with Bai Er's leftover matter, there was a huge gap between the two before, but now they can work together, Dai Lin didn't show any disdain, which shows that Dai Lin is a person who can handle big things.

From the beginning of the matter to the present, Lu Manjia has not come forward. He is waiting for Li Cong in an inn in the county. She still has feelings for the Dai family. Although her mother is no longer there, she has seen so many people from her family You will still feel the warmth, which is why Li Cong helped the Dai family. If the Dai family killed the mother-in-law, it would not be so easy to say after that. Fortunately, Dai Tian has already admitted his mistake, and now Li Cong is I'm going to pay my respects to my father-in-law.

Dai Tian just went to the Warcraft Mountains recently, and he is not in good health recently. It’s still the same every day, and I’m still studying those things. Because of his existence, no one in the Dai family town dared to peek at them. Now that the Dai family can continue to survive at this level is directly related to this guy. , if this guy doesn't have a ninth-level fighter, it is estimated that many people will come up with their mouths open. Opportunities like this don't come along all the time.

"Mr. Dai is really amazing. The last time I saw you, your breath was not so strong. It seems that there should be some adventures in this period of time." Li Cong could feel the strength exuded by Dai Tian practicing martial arts at the door At this time, Dai Tian had just dissipated his own breath, and the airflow around him was a little chaotic. It can also be seen that Dai Tian's control is very good, otherwise, the control is not good. The whole yard was ruined.

Dai Tian raised his head and glanced at Li Cong. There was nothing he could do about his de facto son-in-law. Although he was not very clear about this guy's abilities, Dai Tian believed in his feelings very much. At least now if I fight this guy, I can't win absolutely. I must win in the end, but I should pay a big price. I feel like Dai Tian has never made a mistake for many years.

"What Mr. Dai, don't you tell me this, I'm your father-in-law, you say. What's the saying with my daughter, when did you marry my daughter back to the Ming Dynasty, you can see it like this in my house Yes, you have an obligation. Don't think that you can ignore other things after marrying the daughter of my family. It's impossible. If my Dai family goes down, I don't think you have any glory on your face. , isn't it?" Dai Tian doesn't have such a good temper as Dai Lin, and when he sees this kid, he gets angry and eats everything, and now he still calls himself Mr. Dai. So it is not so polite to speak.

"Hehe, yes, yes, father-in-law, you taught me the lesson." Li Cong is also a good man who does not suffer from immediate losses. Besides, the person in front of him is his father-in-law, so he can't help but admit it. It is normal for an elder to say a few words about himself. "Actually, I have already meant that, but Manjia has not listened to me very much. No, I will come to your old man to talk to me." Li Cong said with a smile, he knew this Both the father and the daughter didn't talk very much, asking Dai Tian to help him to talk about it was simply nonsense, and as expected, Dai Tian immediately lost his voice when he said this.

"I'll do whatever you want, boy, and I can't take care of your affairs anymore. Anyway, you can do it whenever you want, son-in-law, let me tell you the truth, the life of the Dai family is really not very good now. Now, you have to find a job for them. In fact, according to my idea, I just want to go to the Northern Empire with my family. But even though I am the patriarch in the family, everyone has feelings for this land. I don’t want to leave, if my relationship with the Tuoba family could have allowed them to be here before, it would be good luck not to be implicated by the Tuoba family now.” Dai Tian still doesn’t know about Li Cong’s conversation with Dai Lin, what will happen now? I still want to ask Li Cong to help save the Dai family. The Dai family is getting weaker day by day. Although the power is in a county, no one denies that their family is powerful. The family is really a county family.

"Father-in-law, look at what you said. I've already done this. I've already made an agreement with my second uncle. From now on, all of you and your family will come to my firm to help me with things. For the time being, let's start with this." Look, if you have any ideas in the future, we can change it, but for the time being, it can only be like this, do you think it will work?" In fact, Li Cong also knows that the Dai family will definitely have their own development in the future, let them be their own The attachment is just wishful thinking of Li Cong. They really don't have any good development for the time being, and they may not know what will happen in the future.

"Hehe, let me just say that I read your kid right, things are really good, and I'm fine, why don't you ask me to be a consultant or something, old arms and legs can still move for a few years Yes." What Li Cong was waiting for was what this guy said, how could he be a ninth-level fighter? How many ninth-level fighters are there in the world? Counting hard, there are only a few thousand, they are all very precious, there is only one in a hundred million people, if there is such a person helping me, I can leave at ease, right, as long as they don't mess with it Great people, they are sure to be fine.

"Father-in-law has really helped my son-in-law a lot. I will definitely keep this consultant for my father-in-law. If I have your help in this matter, I will be even more powerful in the future." Li Cong said with a smile. Dai Lin has completed half of it by himself, and now he has convinced his father-in-law that this is 100% complete. Dai Tian looked at his son-in-law cheerfully, and it is his own business to develop his career.

"By the way, your brother-in-laws have grown up too. If they are suitable, they can help you with something. If they are not suitable, you can just tell them to leave. Not one of them." Dai Tian also knew to speak to his sons, of course, he would not interfere with these matters, and Li Cong had to decide on the specific matters.

"No problem, now that my place is a servant, I have already made an agreement with my second uncle, and let him arrange most of the staff arrangements. Didn't he do it in the past? "Li Cong's words made Dai Tian very satisfied. To be honest, Dai Tian is not very clear about these things in the family. They are all made by Dai Lin. To be honest, he really doesn't know who these people in the family are capable. He didn't worry about it when the second child came to care about this matter.

For Li Cong, the son-in-law, this old guy is really more and more comfortable the more he looks at him. In the evening, Dai Tian called Dai Lin and several old people in the family, which can be regarded as letting Li Cong get to know the whole old Dai family well. At that time, Lu Manjia also told Li Cong about some things about the Dai family, but it was not as detailed as Li Cong knew. Although Lu Manjia also came over at night, she just showed her face and went to the guest room to rest. Anyway, now Lu Manjia is not as disgusted with the Dai family as it was back then, which can be regarded as a change. Dai Tian is already very happy. It was impossible to meet like this before.
