Chapter 382 Feng Quji's Feelings
"Have you heard that the Navy is going to explore the New World, which is a huge business opportunity."
In the restaurant, a middle-aged businessman hurried in, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said excitedly.
"The news that my Great Qin Navy is preparing to explore the New World, I've naturally known it for a long time!"
Another old man shook his head and said:
"We were just studying the map. Although this new continent is good, it is too far away from my Great Qin. It is not easy to develop it."
"That's right, although Persian County is far away from Daqin, it is a country of maritime trade along the way, and it is very profitable to go back and forth, but this new continent is deserted along the way, and there is no decades of effort. Difficult to develop!"
"In my opinion, there are no business opportunities in this new continent. It is better to invest in Ili County. After all, it is the only way to go to Tianzhu and Persia. You can make a fortune by guarding the passing bonus!"
The rest of the people also spoke one after another.
"You are all wrong. Whether it is Yili County, Tianzhu, or Persia, the business opportunities in these places have long been monopolized by those big merchants. I will only be able to make a lot of money at this time."
"But this New World is different. Those big merchants are still waiting and watching. This is the good opportunity we are waiting for."
Middle-aged businessman Lao Ye shook his head and said.
"Old Ye, do you have any exclusive news? Come and hear it!"
When everyone heard this, they quickly gathered around.
Although this old Ye is not a big businessman, he is also a good businessman. It took less than two years to go from nothing to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he is well-known in the entire Hanzhong County.
"There is no exclusive news, but everyone, please don't forget that His Royal Highness is my Great Qin Shang Sheng, the living God of Wealth.
Even His Royal Highness strongly supports the Navy to explore the New World. Could there be a big opportunity in this? "
"The reason why this old man is today is because he has always firmly believed in the judgment of His Highness the Crown Prince and seized the opportunity to start his family."
"This time, the old man will also answer the call and follow the navy to explore the new continent. It's okay if you don't believe it now, just don't regret it when the time comes."
Lao Ye glanced at the crowd angrily.
"That's right, other people may talk nonsense, but His Royal Highness must be thinking of me and the people."
"Why don't we try to invest in New World as well?"
"But this new continent is thousands of miles away from the north to the south, and there is no such convenient supply base as the Persian route in the middle. With our wealth, we can't build an exploration fleet together!"
"For exploration, it is enough to have a naval fleet. What we have to do is to always pay attention to the exploration results and investment information in the newspaper, and then invest as quickly as possible."
Lao Ye smiled.
Everyone quickly nodded in unison, and then looked at the simple version of the world map they bought, and studied it again.
......
Xianyang New City, Fan Mansion.
Due to the rapid development of Daqin's business, the status of merchants has also been greatly improved, and they are no longer looked down upon by the world.
Today's merchants have become the backbone of Daqin's development.
Many previous discriminatory regulations against businessmen have also been gradually abolished.
Among them, the Fan family in Nanyang, the Wu family in Shujun, and the Lu family in Peixian County were awarded titles by the court for their righteous deeds in disaster relief. Although they were only the lowest ranks of officials, they were enough to make businessmen proud of them.
And these big merchants also moved their homes to Xianyang City in order to obtain more business opportunities.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Fan clan was repeatedly studying the map in front of him.
"Father, won't our Fan family participate in the development of this new continent?"
Beside the patriarch of the Fan clan, a young man asked respectfully.
Hearing the words, the patriarch of the Fan clan pondered a little before saying:
"Nowadays, Great Qin is developing rapidly. Whether it is Tianzhu, Persia or the newly established Yili County, it can be said that there are business opportunities everywhere. Why does His Royal Highness spend such a huge amount of manpower and material resources to open up a new continent thousands of miles away?"
"It's just because of the astonishing amount of iron ore in it. Although it is reasonable, but now I have discovered several large iron ore mines in the east of Qin and Liaodong, and in the north of Tu'an, which are enough to last for hundreds of years. I'm not in a hurry now. .”
"Moreover, the cost of transporting ore back from thousands of miles away is quite high, there is absolutely no need for this!"
Hearing this, the young man nodded slightly, "What does father mean?"
The patriarch of the Fan clan stretched out his hand to stroke his beard lightly, and said with a smile:
"After thinking about it, there is only one possibility for His Royal Highness to develop the new continent, and that is some new major invention to come out, and this invention can also greatly improve the production efficiency of steel and reduce shipping costs."
"The real business opportunity should be this upcoming invention."
"This is what my Fan clan wants to bet heavily on!"
"However, in the exploration of this new continent, you can also invest a part of the funds to occupy a good position first. There is always nothing wrong."
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the patriarch of the Fan clan, and then he began to write quickly.
......
Inside the Shangshu Mansion, Feng Quji frowned.
"This group of bastards, who have repeatedly advocated the failure of the enfeoffment system before, are still unwilling to give up now, and even set their minds on this new continent that is about to be explored."
Feng Jie on the side also showed anger and said:
"Do these people really think that His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince can't control them thousands of miles away?"
"The enfeoffment system has existed for thousands of years, so there are naturally reasons for its existence."
"In the mainland of Daqin, you can easily reach various places. Naturally, it is more appropriate to implement the system of prefectures and counties."
"But thousands of miles away, even if there is a garrison stationed there, if there are occasional accidents, there will be more troubles!"
Feng Quji sighed.
"Father, aren't you also thinking about supporting the reintroduction of the enfeoffment system overseas?"
Feng Jie asked dumbfounded.
"As a father, I'm not old-fashioned, how could I have such an idea."
"As a father, I'm just curious. With the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince, you can definitely see these variables. Now that His Highness the Crown Prince throws out the New World, I suspect that the Crown Prince is fishing."
"fishing?"
Feng Quji nodded: "His Royal Highness, this is a big game of chess."
"Father, my child thinks that you may be thinking too much..."
"His Royal Highness is merciful. Even those stubborn rotten scholars are at most thrown away to raise pigs. If they can repent, they will be used again."
"That's why I think that His Royal Highness asked the navy to explore the New World simply because he wanted to open up more space for us, Great Qin."
"His Royal Highness once said that there are actually only two things that the superior should do."
"One is to maximize the overall interests, that is, to have more fish in the pond."
"The second is to ensure a relatively fair distribution method, so that those who work harder and make more contributions can get more fish, so as to encourage the enthusiasm of Daqin."
"As for those who are unpredictable, as long as the law is perfected, Qin Fa will naturally deal with them."
Feng Jie seriously refuted his father's point of view.
"What you said is also reasonable, the times are different now, and strategy is no longer the main theme of the court.
Old, old! "
Feng Quji thought for a while, a trace of loneliness flashed across his face, and he sighed with emotion.
Although he is working hard, but time is not forgiving, and most of his life has been based on scheming, how can he change it if he says he can change it.
