Vol V Chapter 46
At the Marquisdom.
In the main hall.
Ning Mo looked at Li Yuan and said,"
"The coal business is starting to decline!”
"In two days, bring the new steel-making method to the steel factory and contact the coal business with the steel factory! Even if the Marquisdom had shares, they still had to make the accounts clear and clean!”
"In business, you must not have bad debts. Otherwise, there will definitely be a hidden danger of the collapse of the building! Moreover, the royal family and the dignitaries were involved in these businesses, so there could not be any problems.”
After hearing Ning Mo's words, she said,
Li Yuan replied,"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, don't worry! This servant knows!"
He nodded.
Ning Mo asked again,"
"How is the matter of the textile factory that I asked you to build? This factory was related to the country's major plans!”
Hearing this.
Li Yuan's face was serious."
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, the preliminary construction has been completed, and the construction of the textile machine has begun. We only need to recruit enough workers to start production!”
He nodded in satisfaction.
Ning Mo asked again,"
"What about the cement factory? Safety must be paid attention to during the construction of the cement factory!”
Li Yuan nodded,
He said,"
"It's also ready! The issue of safety had also been handled in accordance with Lord Marquis's instructions!”
Hearing this.
Ning Mo nodded.
He casually said,
"Good! I can rest assured when you do things! However, you must pay attention to the people under you. You can't let your skills leak out! The workers 'remuneration should not be low either. Meritorious deeds would be rewarded, and mistakes would be punished!”
"As for the rest of the business, follow the development plan I gave you and arrange it step by step. At the same time, remember not to forget to find those people that Shen Zhong introduced and rope in more noble and influential people to do it together!”
"For the people's livelihood and sensitive businesses, go and discuss with the person in charge of the royal family's palace treasury. The proportion will be divided according to the previous division!”
Li Yuan once again cupped his hands and accepted the order.
He said in a clear voice,
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
He waved his hand.
Ning Mo immediately asked Li Yuan to do something.
He stretched.
After stretching his body, he said,
Ning Mo was ambitious.
"After I open up all the trade routes…I'll open a chain supermarket and start mixing cement and steel bars to develop real estate. Sooner or later, I'll be rich enough to rival a country!”
Of course.
His business had developed so violently that it was bound to attract the covetous eyes of many people.
However, Ning Mo wasn't worried.
This was because with the successful training of the Great Chu Valiant Army, he would have an army that was extremely loyal to him. With all kinds of forces added together, he would become a true uncrowned king in a short period of time!
Although the current Chu Emperor was really good to him,
However, one must be wary of others!
Most importantly…
The Chu Emperor was already quite old.
Even if the news of Emperor Chu's death spread out from the palace today, Ning Mo would not be surprised at all!
Ever since the sixth prince Xiang Zhu contacted him last time,
During this period of time,
More and more princes contacted Ning Mo!
Even so,
Even the old crown prince of the Eastern Palace, whom Ning Mo had never met before, had invited him to a banquet!
However, Ning Mo used all sorts of reasons to reject them.
There was no other way-
It was too dangerous to get close to the crown prince or the princes.
The current West Chu Dynasty…
There were faint signs of the nine sons fighting for the throne, but the Chu Emperor did not stop it. It was obvious that he knew that he did not have many thoughts and wanted the princes and crown princes to start fighting for the throne.
……
1st of March.
On the day of the court assembly.
Early in the morning,
Ning Mo dressed up and waited at the entrance of Zhengyang Palace.
"Teacher!"
After seeing the old man, Ning Mo bowed.
He nodded.
The old man looked at Ning Mo.
He said,"
"The diplomatic mission of the Tartars is already on the way. " In today's court meeting, we'll be discussing the future of the Tartar Empire. His Majesty might ask for your opinion. You should consider your answer. There's no need to hide too much!”
Hearing this.
Ning Mo's expression remained unchanged."
"I understand!"
In fact,
Ning Mo had also received bad news about the Tartar diplomatic corps.
It was also because of this that
He began to prepare the textile factory.
If all goes well,
He could use the wool domesticated by the various tribes of the Tartars to spin and process it, making clothes and selling them. This method could give the Tartars a stable way to live and not easily go south again!
At the same time,
During this process, they could slowly infiltrate and invade the Tartars, gradually making them obedient citizens of the West Chu and the Central Plains. They would no longer use weapons!
It would only take two or three generations to wipe out the Tartars from their culture and roots!
This was the sheep-eating trade!
Very quickly.
The main doors of Zhengyang Palace opened. After the eunuchs of the Yellow Gate called out their names, the civil and military officials directly entered the throne room.
They entered the throne room.
Ning Mo looked at where he was standing.
He was ranked sixth in the ranks of military officials. Of the five people in front, other than the old man, who was a general of the hussars of the first rank, the other four were all generals of the second rank who were in charge of the four battalions of Jingdou!
As for Ning Mo, he was the third-rank champion general who was in charge of Great Chu's valiant army. He was the sixth most important person in the West Chu army and was already the goal of many generals in their lives.
However…
To Ning Mo…
Not enough!
No matter what, she had to stand in front of the old master!
Seeing that he was surrounded by Dukes and all of them were older generals, Ning Mo subconsciously imitated their actions of stroking his beard, but he ended up touching his own beard.
"I'm too young."
After noticing this,
Ning Mo was secretly wary.
"I didn't think so before, but now I realize that it's just as Teacher said…I'm too young. "If there's another war, even if His Majesty wants me to lead troops to war, I have to refuse!”
In this situation,
It was too abrupt.
Just as Ning Mo was deep in thought,
The old eunuch's voice rang out,"
"His Majesty has arrived!"
Soon after, the Chu Emperor walked out from the back of the throne room and sat on the dragon throne.
The civil and military officials greeted him at the same time.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
He waved his hand casually.
The Chu Emperor said with great vigor,
"No need for formalities!"
The ministers thanked him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The old eunuch said in a clear voice,"
"If there's anything, report it. If there's nothing, withdraw!"
Just as he finished speaking.
The Minister of Rites strode forward.
Walking out of the line:
"Your Majesty, the Tartar diplomatic mission is already on the way! Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible on how to deal with the problem of the Tartars!”
He nodded.
The Chu Emperor naturally knew of this matter.
He swept his gaze across the ministers.
"My dear ministers, tell me, how should we deal with the matters of the Tartars?”
The ministers heard this.
They all fell silent because no one could come up with a solution at the moment.
They suddenly realized that it was easy to defeat the Tartars, but it would be difficult to deal with the aftermath.
Kill.
That was tens of millions of people.
Don't kill.
Tens of millions of people would sooner or later become a new hidden danger and disaster.
At most, it would take ten to twenty years.
Very quickly.
Some people stood up to give their opinions.
"Place an elite army in the grasslands to suppress the recovery of the Tartars!”
"Kill anyone who is higher than the wheel! He would move the remaining children into the interior, raise them, and assimilate them, making them obedient citizens of West Chu!”
"Chase the Tartars out of that grassland!”
"Gather all the people of Tartar and build the Great Wall in the north like the dynasties in history!”
“……”
Some people advocated killing all the adults of the Tartar tribe.
There were also suggestions to station troops to suppress them.
Some even wanted to completely expel the Tartars or use them as laborers to build the Great Wall.
At this moment, everyone had their own opinions. Although they were all feasible suggestions, they could not achieve a simple and effective effect!
"Marquis Wuan."
After listening for a long time,
The Chu Emperor frowned as he looked at Ning Mo, who was calm and collected."
"Do you have any suggestions?"
After hearing the Chu Emperor's words.
The throne room fell silent.
Recently, after the Qu Yuan Li, the light carriage, the paper and other things had appeared one after another, even the civil officials did not dare to look down on Ning Mo, the most dazzling newcomer of the West Chu Dynasty.
This had something to do with power, but not much.
Even more,
And it was because of Ning Mo's talent!
Step out.
Ning Mo bowed towards Emperor Chu."
"Your Majesty, I do have some immature ideas. As long as they are successfully completed, we might be able to solve the problem of the Tartars forever!”
His interest was piqued.
The Chu Emperor looked at Ning Mo."
"What idea?"
All the officials looked at Ning Mo curiously.
After pondering for a moment.
Ning Mo said,"
"Just do business with the Tartars!"
Hearing this.
Everyone was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refute Ning Mo. However, when they thought back to the various businesses that Ning Mo had done in the short period of time that he had appeared, they all shut their mouths.
No one stood out to refute Ning Mo.
What if…
This Marquis of Wu 'an, who was also a business genius, really had some brilliant plan?
"The craftsman in my family made a textile machine.”
Ning Mo didn't hide anything."
"It can quickly weave high-quality cloth, cotton cloth, wool cloth, and so on! If they could buy a large amount of Tartar wool and give them a stable source of income, they wouldn't want to go south so easily!”
"In addition, in the process of the wool trade, we can subtly influence the culture and turn the Tartar barbarians who refuse to accept the king into obedient people of our dynasty and the Central Plains!”
It was just like how the common people would not easily rebel if they had food to eat and could survive.
These foreign races…
As long as they were given a stable path of survival, they would definitely not easily riot. In fact, they would gradually become dependent on this path of survival and could be controlled.
Everyone in the court was smart.
He quickly figured out the key points!
The Minister of Rites stood up.
He said,"
"Marquis Wu An's plan is brilliant! I agree!"
The other officials,
One by one, they stood out.
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
"Me too!"
“……”
The Chu Emperor nodded.
He smiled and said,"
"Since that's the case, we'll follow Marquis Wu 'an's plan! When the Tartar diplomatic mission arrived, Marquis Wu An would negotiate with them! Hmm…the Minister of Rites is assisting Marquis Wu 'an!”
Hearing this.
Ning Mo and the Minister of Rites bowed and accepted the order."
"This subject obeys the decree!"
……
After the court meeting.
In the Administrative Hall.
Ning Mo was called over by Emperor Chu alone.
"Good Mo 'er, how much can your textile factory earn in a year?”
Emperor Chu asked as he looked at Ning Mo with a smile.
Upon seeing the Chu Emperor in this state,
Ning Mo instantly understood.
This old thing was coming to take advantage of him again!
If you have money, you like to write articles. If you don't have money, you can be the Marquis of Wu 'an.
Simply too.
After pondering for a moment,
Ning Mo said,"
"Just like before, use the name of the royal family, and then I will give Your Majesty 20% for free!”
Hearing this.
The Chu Emperor revealed a dissatisfied expression.
"Why is it only 20%? Too little."
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Ning Mo said,"
"Your Majesty, that's quite a lot! This textile mill was mainly used to solve the problem of the non-humankind. Making money wasn't the main purpose! Moreover, this business was a major livelihood business, so the price would definitely not be high.”
"The route we have to take is also the route of small profits but high turnover. In that case, we have to cooperate with other nobles and big merchants. The profits we have to give out are not small!”
"This subject is even prepared to do this business at a loss. Your Majesty getting 20% for free is already quite a lot.”
Hearing Ning Mo's analysis.
The Chu Emperor was stunned for a moment.
"You still plan to pay for this business?”
He nodded.
Ning Mo did not deny it."
"Yes."
He frowned.
The Chu Emperor asked,"
"Why? What do you want by doing this?"
He pondered for a moment.
Ning Mo said,"
"Your Majesty…"
"Teacher, you've been kind to me, and I'm willing to help you solve the problem of the Outsiders. Ning Mo doesn't want the people of my dynasty to be bullied by the Outsiders, and he doesn't want our territory to be trampled by the Outsiders!”
He was stunned for a moment.
After that, the Chu Emperor laughed out loud.
"Hahaha…Good boy! Good child! Then we'll do as you say! However, as a teacher, I can't let you suffer a loss! Teacher has made the decision to exempt you from the tax on this textile mill!”
Hearing this.
Ning Mo was stunned.
Then, he said worriedly,
"The Ministry of Revenue…"
He waved his hand.
The Chu Emperor said,"
"Later, I will personally go to the Ministry of Revenue to inform them. It won't be a problem!”
Hearing the Chu Emperor's words.
Ning Mo bowed and thanked him."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
He waved his hand.
The Chu Emperor had a nonchalant look on his face.
"Alright, it's fine! Go back! There's no meal today!"
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Ning Mo was speechless at the Chu Emperor's way of casually throwing away things after taking advantage of him.
But he still bowed and said,"
"I will take my leave!"
After Ning Mo left.
The Chu Emperor stroked his beard.
His eyes narrowed.
"This kid is a genius…He has outstanding talent in military, business, and even politics! However, I always feel that this kid is guarding against me!”
Yes, it was.
The Chu Emperor could also feel that Ning Mo was somewhat wary of him. He could roughly understand why Ning Mo was so wary.
Imperial power.
And the power of a subject.
Many times, they were opposites!
It was normal to be on guard.
"Big partner, tell me, what's the situation with this kid?”
As he spoke,
The Chu Emperor looked at the old eunuch beside him.
Hearing this.
The old eunuch's mouth twitched."
"Your Majesty, this is a matter of state. How dare this old servant speak nonsense? However, this old servant feels that Marquis Wu An might not be guarding against His Majesty!”
He frowned slightly.
The Chu Emperor pondered.
"If it wasn't me…who else could it be? You mean…those unfilial children? That's right. Recently, they had been getting more and more restless. They even dared to rope in a general like Ning Mo, who had a large army in his hands.”
He sighed.
The Chu Emperor sighed with emotion.
"Sigh…they all think that I'm old and that my days are numbered!”
Hearing this,
The old eunuch looked down at his nose and heart.
He couldn't hear her.
He couldn't hear anything!
……
Two days later.
Ning Mo looked at the list of nobles and businessmen that Li Yuan had selected for the textile factory.
He rubbed his chin and said,"
"Anything is fine! You can directly find Shen Zhong and the other two and let them form a bridge and build a textile factory together!”
Li Yuan replied,"
"Here!"
Then, he left.
The textile factory business.
Originally, he wanted to earn his first bucket of gold in this line, but after knowing about the Tartar Empire, he decisively gave up on the idea of earning his first bucket of gold.
He did not lack this bit of money. He might as well contribute it and make such a big contribution.
In addition to the curved beam plow and light carriage from before.
Now, Ning Mo had been suppressed by two major contributions.
A few more,
After accumulating enough-
He was promoted to Duke in one go!
