I’m The King Chapter 1268: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and fifty-eight) economic warfare

Under Tan Feng's sharp gaze, Mr. Zhao has no fear, and still looks at him with a smile. After a while, Tan Feng's eyes lowered, and his whole body seemed to relax at this moment.

"What does Mr. Zhao mean by this, please forgive me for not understanding!" Tan Feng said.

"General Tan, don't get me wrong. I'm not advising you to betray Daqin. I just hope that you can prepare a way out for yourself while serving Daqin. You can never go wrong." Mr. Zhao said: "The situation in Daqin is so complicated now. It's complicated, the prospect is really hard to see, General Tan, you are not Lu Chao, you can't reach his level, in fact, if you take one more step, you might lose your head, right?"

Tan Feng took a sip of tea, but did not answer.

"In fact, Huang Shoufu has always admired General Tan's ability very much, especially the series of actions after General Tan came to power Yingchuan, which made Huang Shoufu shine. It is a mutually beneficial cooperation. In Huang Shoufu's opinion, this model is the best strategy Yingchuan County can adopt at present. There is no better way. If Chuan is like Lu Chao, if he closes the door and engages in his own way, where there is prosperity now, there will be no strong army and rich people like Yingchuan! This journey, among the people, I am I heard ordinary Yingchuan people have a very good opinion of General Tan Feng!" Mr. Zhao said with a smile.

"How can it be so mysterious?" Tan Feng laughed at himself: "This is all forced out. The court's state affairs are difficult. In recent years, there has been a lot of arrears in military pay, and the military equipment has been slackened year by year. The supply of equipment is not available to my descendant. The priority supply for the birth of mothers. Being a neighbor of a powerful enemy, what should I do if I don’t think of a way? Fortunately, the Han people are after profit, which gave me such an opportunity.”

"Opportunities are always there, but not everyone can seize them." Mr. Zhao nodded and said: "Although he was forced to do nothing, but Yingchuan can have the current scale and strength. No, just look at the current attack direction of the Han army. You know that they also think that the cost of attacking you must be higher than that of attacking Lu Chao, but from the comparison of strength on paper, Lu Chao is much stronger than you? Why? In this way, Huang Shoufu summed up a few points."

"Oh, Huang Shoufu still has the leisure to summarize these things, which is beyond my expectation!" Tan Feng was very interested. Tan Feng was quite proud of getting the approval of Huang Xie, who was famous all over the world.

"First of all, the first one is that under the governance of General Tan in the past few years, Yingchuan has been governed in a harmonious manner. Compared with the current situation of Qin State as a whole, it is immediately like a bright light in the dark night, which is extremely dazzling. Looking at Gao Yuan's consistent strategy in the Han Dynasty, when they attack a certain side, they usually stir up chaos within the enemy. Take advantage of the chaos, cooperate with the inside and outside, and obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost. But in Yingchuan's current situation, it is obvious that they cannot find A suitable entry point, if you fight hard, the Yingchuan people will definitely fight for the first, and this will make the casualties of the Han people immeasurable. They are not willing to bear the price."

"Secondly, from the perspective of General Lu. Lu Chao seems to be the strongest, with many soldiers, but he has a strong army, and he is in harmony with the imperial court. The rift with Lu Chao is already very deep, but because a powerful Han country is watching from the side, they have to unite temporarily. This kind of alliance is very easy to break, and now Qin Chaobaiqi is training a new army, and the new army Every time an army is formed, the imperial court's patience with Lu Chao will decrease by one point. In the end, the relationship between the two parties will break down, so the Han people began to adjust their attack strategy and turn to point the finger at Lu Chao. From the outside, it seems that it is more difficult. Yes, but from a grand strategy point of view, once the Han State makes effective use of the contradiction between Lu Chao and the court, finds a suitable entry point, and defeats Lu Chao's army in one fell swoop, then Qin State will not be able to support it anymore. At that time, no matter how strong General Tan's Ying Chuan is, how can he fight against Han with a small corner of his land? Maybe it will depend on when the time comes? "

"Thirdly, I don't know if General Tan has noticed that in the Han Dynasty, the power of traditional landlords and gentry is shrinking day by day, while the power of merchants is expanding day by day. This can be seen from the power distribution in their big council , there are more and more representatives of the interests of big businessmen, and businessmen are chasing profit. Now Yingchuan is a trade distribution center for them to enter the Han Dynasty. Once Yingchuan is attacked, these people will suffer great losses. With Lu Chao’s lock-and-close policy, merchants can’t get in if they want to enter, and the vast internal market of Daqin cannot be opened to them. I’m afraid this will make their teeth itch with hatred. They must transfer from Yingchuan. The cost will go up suddenly That's right! If Hangu Pass is captured, the money these merchants can earn will be doubled. Therefore, it is not unrelated to turn the attack. General Tan knows that Han's commercial tax revenue is far away. Far more than the agricultural tax revenue.”

"Huang Shoufu's analysis is really crude!" Tan Feng nodded and laughed, "The formulation and implementation of policies in the Han Dynasty are gradually turning to be dominated by businessmen. , This is very different from the Great Qin and the Great Chu, and the political affairs hall and the Great Council are the leading direction of their policies. The Han Dynasty is transforming into a merchant court. They are absolutely unwilling to do it. However, apart from the above three points, the Han people are not without targeted strategies against me, Yingchuan.”

"Oh, I haven't heard Huang Shoufu say this before!" Mr. Zhao was a little puzzled, but also a little unconvinced.

"Huang Shoufu is in Ying City. After all, he is separated from the Han Kingdom by hundreds of thousands of miles. Naturally, many things are not as close as I am. I can see clearly that the confrontation between the Han Kingdom and me is no longer mainly about the military. In the words of Gao Yuan, the war between him and me, Yingchuan, is called an economic war, and it can also be called a trade war. In other words, it is peaceful evolution." Tan Feng laughed.

"Peaceful evolution?" Mr. Zhao looked at Tan Feng in confusion.

"Oh, I didn't invent this word, it was Gao Yuan who invented it. This guy always comes up with unexpected but incisive conclusions. What he's doing to me, Ying Chuan, is to infiltrate the economy continuously and combine the two The connection between land and land is becoming more and more tight with economic ties. Mr. Zhao must have made an unannounced visit along the way. In Yingchuan, paper money issued by Han people is very popular, isn’t it?”

"That's true!" Mr. Zhao took out several colorful bills from his pocket and placed them on the table. "I have seen this thing in Ying City, but the quantity is very small. Many people keep it as a collection, and it is indeed beautifully printed."

"Although the General's Mansion issued an order not to use Han banknotes, I also know that this matter cannot be tolerated at all. Many people in Yingchuan secretly transported their gold and silver to Yingshui, where are they stored? Oh, it’s called a bank in Han. In our case, depositing money in a bank requires you to pay a storage fee to the bank, but where you deposit your money in a bank, not only do you not have a storage fee, but you can also generate interest. High, but it seems that there is no risk!"

Mr. Zhao rubbed his chin, "It's okay if the quantity is small, but once the quantity is large, the impact on Yingchuan cannot be ignored!"

"This is natural. This is the sequelae of the policies I have implemented in the past few years. It is the price I have to pay." Tan Feng waved his hand, "There is no reason in this world that you can get something without paying. If you gain something, you will naturally lose something. The Han people hope to use various means to make the two places inseparable. If something happens in the future, I am afraid that Yingchuan will rush to support the Han people instead of supporting me. Mr. Zhao. Think about it, if all your wealth is in the hands of the Han people, who would you support if there is a war?”

Mr. Zhao's face changed slightly, "Of course I want to support the Han people, because if the Han people win, my wealth will be recognized by the other party, but if you win, my life savings will be in vain."

Tan Feng applauded lightly, "That's the reason, so the richer the Yingchuan people are now, the more uneasy I feel, so I started to do business with you Da Chu Duoduo, hoping to reduce my dependence on them, just like The cement you mentioned earlier, if you build these factories in the future, even if the price is higher, I will buy it from you!"

"It turns out that General Tan hopes to establish a more comprehensive partnership with us because of this!" Mr. Zhao sighed softly.

"Does Huang Shoufu think I'm going to sell myself to Da Chu?" Tan Feng smiled~IndoMTL.com~Mr. Wude, with a rebellious bone in the back of his head, now that the Qin State Building is about to fall, he hurriedly started to find another thigh for himself, but such a person is now useful to Da Chu, and now it seems that I am afraid That's not the case at all. There should be a new evaluation of Tan Feng in China.

"Huang Shoufu didn't mean that, but I think that General Tan might as well consider this issue. Once something happens to the Qin State, I, Da Chu, will definitely back up the general, so that the general can attack and defend instead of having to When the time comes, we will be together forever in Qin State." Mr. Zhao still insisted.

"Well, I will consider this question." Tan Feng smiled and nodded, "I wonder what Mr. Zhao thinks of my previous proposal?"

"On this matter, before I came, Huang Shoufu had already made an agreement that we would exempt all the business activities between Dachu and Yingchuan, and even many goods that we could have purchased from other places would not be allowed in the future. All go to Yingchuan, for mutual benefit."

"Thank you so much." Tan Feng arched his hands and nodded. (to be continued)
