All Hail Cousin Brother

Huang Wenwen said: "Yes or no. Population is a prerequisite for development. As the population in the north increases, the consumption of various materials will also increase. For businessmen, this is a business opportunity."

He paused for a moment, then added: "There are two exporting business routes in the north, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and the Silk Road. The huge profits among them have made businessmen from all over the country sharpen their heads and gamble on their net worth. It is also necessary to introduce merchants with strong financial resources and wide channels, which is a great opportunity to contain or even weaken the gentry.”

Businessmen who dare to join the ancient tea-horse road and Silk Road already have the capital to compete with the gentry.

In the past, due to the fact that the merchant gangs were too powerful, they could not get involved. Now the imperial court has issued a national policy. Under the banner of "relief to the disaster victims" and "implementing the national policy", they brought supplies and materials. First of all, the Lord of Shaoyi and King Wumu, It is necessary to accept this love, which is equivalent to finding a strong backer for yourself.

The great reputation of helping the victims is their reputation and basic contacts, enough for them to withstand the pressure of the business gang to open up the situation in the north.

Yu Youyao nodded: "It seems that the imperial court issued a "national policy", which has completely opened up the situation in the northern border where it is still standing still and ushered in a new opportunity for development."

Huang Wenxian agreed, and added: "However, vigorously developing the economy has both advantages and disadvantages. To ensure that the interests of foreign merchants and the development of the Wumu Palace and the northern border are consistent, then we must have a certain initiative in it, and we must not take the initiative. , handed over to the hands of foreign merchants, if the foreign merchants collude with the local gentry, it will become more serious."

For example, King Wumu left the best silkworm farm to the little princess, and let her monopolize one million mu of mountain forest. She cooperated with local retail investors, foreign merchants, and local gentry, all for their own interests, forming a good competition. And the check and balance situation, once either side wants to break this situation, it will not be able to pass her.

Including the main silkworm areas in Liancheng, Dandong, and Liaodong Mountains, she almost all mixed it.

She has become the person who controls the overall situation, and also represents the interests of King Wu Mu and the northern border.

Yu Youyao nodded: "You are very thoughtful."

Huang Wenxian changed his words: "I heard that Xie's house has a wide range of business fields, and the future development of the northern border will not be without Xie's contribution to it, and the Lord of Lao County will be the last general to introduce one or two."

As a military advisor under King Wu Mu, and he was famous, he didn't need Yu Youyao to introduce him if he wanted to meet the people of Xie's house. Please see.

It can be seen that it has given Yu Youyao enough face.

Yu Youyao understood what he meant. If he wanted to have a certain initiative in the business field, it was the best choice to cooperate with the Xie Family with abundant financial resources and huge channels.

Huang Wenwen came to Xie's house, so he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. My uncle stayed in the inn and ordered someone to pass it on, so let him come over directly."

Huang Wenwen kept calling himself "the last general", but the military division had a detached position in the army and was directly ordered by the chief general in the army.

"Many thanks to the county master." Although Huang Wenwen was a scholar, he had been on the battlefield, and he was a little informal, but he didn't care much about honor and decency.

He also specially understood that the Xie Mansion was open-minded and decent, and it was compatible with his temperament, so he naturally had to be treated differently.

The Xie Mansion's strong financial resources, huge channels, and a relationship with the little princess are all powerful bargaining chips for them to divide the interests of the gentry and weaken the power of the gentry, and it is the cornerstone of the development of the North.

From this point of view, the importance of Xie's residence to the northern border is self-evident, and it is natural to treat him with courtesy.

Compared with those vain manners, Huang Wenwen pays more attention to reality.

However, the generous manner of the little princess made him very useful.

Yu Youyao smiled and nodded, then turned around and told Xia Tao to invite someone.

Introducing foreign merchants is naturally a big benefit from an overall perspective. From a close look, the large amount of materials brought by foreign merchants can basically solve the dilemma of lack of materials in the north.

At the same time, it will also stimulate the local gentry to coordinate the resettlement of the victims.

But in the long run, there are also many disadvantages.

Among them, the biggest disadvantage is that the gentry is still strong in the north. Once foreign businessmen have established a firm foothold in the north, if they want to seek greater development, it is almost inevitable that officials, businessmen and gentry will collude with each other.

Huang Wenxian wanted to control the situation in the northern border from the beginning, support the Xie House, and control some of the resources, contacts, and channels in the northern border in his own hands.

The gentry, the foreign merchants, and the Xie Mansion formed a check and balance situation.

From the current point of view, the three-way check and balance is still dominated by the gentry, but the participation of foreign merchants and the Xie family will inevitably divide the interests of the gentry and weaken the power of the gentry.

It is also an inevitable trend.

In the early days, the Xie Mansion and the foreign merchants had common interests and enemies, and they were natural alliances.

And behind the Xie Mansion, are the Shaoyi County Lord and the Wumu King, who have absolute initiative among foreign merchants and are well-deserved leaders.

Yin Huaixi only needs to support Xie's house, let Xie's house unite with foreign businessmen to deal with the gentry, and wait for the right time to root out the gentry who have done all the bad things.

It's not that Yin Huaixi took advantage of Xie's residence.

If the Xie Mansion wanted to gain a firm foothold in the north and seek development, it had already stood on the opposite side of the gentry.

Not long after, Xie Xun came over.

Yu Youyao introduced with a smile: "Uncle, this is the military division Huang under the command of King Wu Mu."

Xie Xun stepped forward in a hurry, and was about to bow and salute. Huang Wenwen hurriedly stood up, strode forward, and held Xie Xun's hand: "Master Xie doesn't need to be too polite, please take a seat."

Xie Xun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yu Youyao.

Yu Youyao hurriedly smiled and said, "Junjun Huang has assisted in the war in the northern border for many years, but he is informal, and the eldest uncle doesn't have to be too cautious."

Huang Wenwen was too polite to the eldest uncle, and his tone was respectful, so he was not given a big gift.

Her eyes flickered, and she thought of the earlier picture of Huang Wenwen kneeling on the ground as soon as she saw her. What didn't she understand? Huang Wenwen knew that she had a "marriage contract" with Yin Huaixi, and regarded her as a "marriage". For the respect of the future princess, together with her foreign family, she also treated her with courtesy.

Huang Wenwen also instructed Hedao: "What the county master said is extremely true."

Xie Xun's expression softened, and he said politely, "Thanks to the kindness of military division Huang, Xie dared to ask for it."

Then, he sat down to the place where Huang Wenwen started, and the servant hurriedly served tea.

Waiting for the tea tour to finish.

Huang Wenwen said straight to the point: "Master Xie also knows that many foreign merchants have come to the three provinces of Liaodong recently. Logically speaking, this matter should not be handled by our Highness."
