Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 823: ：Disadvantages

Huang Wenwen said: "Yes and 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 and then said: "There are two export trade routes in the north, the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Silk Road. The huge profits therein have made businessmen from all over the world even more anxious, betting on When you get rich, you also want to get involved. It is also necessary to introduce merchants with strong financial resources and wide channels. This is a great opportunity to contain or even weaken the gentry."

Businessmen who dared to interfere with the Tea Horse Road and the Silk Road already had the capital to compete with the gentry.

In the past, the merchant gang was too powerful to intervene. Now the imperial court has issued a national policy. Under the banner of "relieving the victims" and "implementing the national policy", they came with supplies. First of all, Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mu must accept this sentiment, which is equivalent to finding a strong backer for himself.

The great reputation of providing relief to the victims is their reputation and basic connections, which are enough for them to withstand the pressure of business gangs and open up a situation in the north.

Yu Youyao nodded: "It seems that the imperial court has issued a "national policy", which can be regarded as a complete break from the situation in which the northern border is stagnant and ushered in new development opportunities."

Huang Wenwen deeply agreed and said: "However, there are advantages and disadvantages to vigorously developing the economy. To ensure that the interests of foreign merchants, the Wumu Palace and the development of the northern border are consistent, then we must have a certain initiative in it. We must not Put the initiative in the hands of foreign merchants. If the foreign merchants collude with the local gentry, it will only intensify the situation."

For example, King Wu Mu left the best silkworm farm to his little princess, and gave her exclusive access to a million acres of mountain forest. She joined forces with local retail investors, foreign merchants, and local gentry, and each of the three parties had their own interests. A situation of good competition and checks and balances has been established. Once any party wants to break this situation, it will not be able to get past her.

Including Liancheng, Dandong, and the major silkworm areas in the Liaodong Mountains, she had a foot in almost all of them.

She became the person who controlled the overall situation and represented the interests of King Wu Mu and the Northern Territory.

Yu Youyao nodded: "You have thought carefully."

Huang Wenwen changed the topic: "I heard that the Xie Mansion has a wide range of business areas. The future development of the North depends on the Xie Mansion's contribution, so Princess Lao will be able to introduce it to the general."

As a military advisor under King Wu Mu, he also has a great reputation. If he wants to see people from the Xie Mansion, he does not need Yu Youyao to introduce him. He can directly send someone to post the message, and the Xie Mansion must obediently bring generous gifts and be respectful. He came to see him personally.

It can be seen that Yu Youyao was given enough face.

Yu Youyao understood what he meant. If he wanted to take a certain initiative in the business field, cooperating with the Xie Mansion, which had strong financial resources and huge channels, was the best choice.

Huang Wenwen came to the Xie Mansion, so he smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. My uncle is staying at the inn. I ordered someone to go over and let him know, and then I just asked him to come over."

Huang Wenwen kept claiming that he was the "last general", but the military advisor had a detached status in the army and was directly ordered by the top general in the army. He treated Xie Fu with courtesy, but Xie Fu still had to abide by the etiquette of dignity.

"Thank you, Princess." Although Huang Wenwen is a scholar, he has been on the battlefield and is a bit informal, so he doesn't care much about respect and etiquette.

He also specifically understood that Xie's behavior was open-minded and upright, which matched his temperament, so he naturally had to treat him differently.

The Xie Mansion's strong financial resources, vast channels, and relationship with the young princess are powerful bargaining chips for them to divide the interests of the gentry and weaken their power. They are also the cornerstone of the development of the northern border.

From this point of view, the importance of the Xie Mansion to the Northern Territory is self-evident, and it is natural for them to be treated with courtesy.

Compared with those empty-headed etiquette, Huang Wenwen values ​​reality more.

However, the little princess's generous and generous demeanor was very useful to him.

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

From an overall perspective, the introduction of foreign merchants is naturally of great benefit. From a close perspective, the large amount of supplies brought by foreign merchants can basically solve the dilemma of lack of supplies in the north.

At the same time, it will also stimulate the local gentry to work together to resettle the victims.

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

The biggest disadvantage is that the gentry is still dominant in the northern border. Once foreign merchants gain a foothold in the northern border and want to seek greater development, it is almost inevitable that officials, merchants and gentry will collude with each other.

Huang Wenwen wanted to control the situation in the North from the beginning, support the Xie Mansion, and take some of the resources, connections, and channels in the North into his own hands.

The gentry, foreign merchants, and Xie Mansion formed a situation of checks and balances.

From the current point of view, the three-party checks and balances are still dominated by the gentry, but the addition of foreign merchants and the Xie Mansion will inevitably divide the interests of the gentry and weaken the power of the gentry.

This is an inevitable trend.

In the early stage, the Xie Mansion and foreign merchants had common interests and enemies, which was a natural alliance.

Behind the Xie Mansion were Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mu. They had absolute initiative among foreign merchants and were the well-deserved leaders.

Yin Huaixi only needs to support the Xie Mansion and let the Xie Mansion unite with foreign merchants to deal with the gentry, and wait for the right opportunity to root out some of the gentry who have done all the bad things.

That's not to say that Yin Huaixi took advantage of the Xie Mansion.

If the Xie Mansion wants to gain a foothold in the northern border and seek development, it has already stood on the opposite side of the gentry. Business has business, officials have officialdom, and the interests of the Xie Mansion and Prince Wu Mu's Mansion are consistent.

After a while, Xie Xun came over.

Yu Youyao introduced with a smile: "Uncle, this is Military Advisor Huang under King Wu Mu."

Xie Xun stepped forward quickly and was about to bow to salute. Huang Wenwen quickly stood up, stepped forward and held Xie Xun's hand: "Master Xie, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down quickly."

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

Yu Youyao quickly smiled and said: "Commander Huang has assisted in the war in the north for many years~IndoMTL.com~ but he is informal, and uncle does not need to be too formal."

Huang Wenwen was too polite to his uncle and his tone was respectful, so he was not treated with such courtesy.

Her eyes flashed, and she thought of the earlier scene of Huang Wenwen kneeling down when he saw her. She didn't understand why Huang Wenxian knew that she had an "engagement" with Yin Huaixi. He respected her as the future princess, and treated her with caution and courtesy.

Huang Wenwen also told He Dao: "What the princess said is absolutely true."

Xie Xun's face relaxed and he said politely: "Thanks to Military Advisor Huang's kindness, Xie is bold enough to support you."

Then he calmly sat down where Huang Wenwen was sitting, and the servants quickly served tea.

Waiting for the thank you tea tour.

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