Chapter 375

In the chamber of Commerce, the businessmen turned red with excitement because of Xiao Ming's words.

When the map unfolded in front of them, they stood up one by one and looked greedily at the vast land of Youzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the rules set by the king and you, now you can get three times the value of grassland in Youzhou. Such a high-quality horse farm is the first one in Dayu."

Xiao Ming said, pointing to the map.

A group of businessmen nodded. After entering the chamber of Commerce, they had learned that their reward was grassland, and they could only engage in grazing on the grassland.

They are not disappointed in this. On the contrary, they are looking forward to it one by one, because even if they don't run the grassland themselves, they can sell it to others.

Raising Marco is a very profitable business. A large number of merchants will rush to do it.

"Thank you, your highness. Your words are really gold."

Cao Zhengyang has a happy look on his face. His eyes have been inspecting the grassland in Youzhou, and he has his own horse raising plan.

"Yes, your Highness's words are really admirable to us. If it were King Yong, he would have gone back on his words."

"No, not to mention King Yong, some of the other vassal kings treat our merchants as human beings."

"Only your highness values US merchants so much. We will do our best for your highness."

“……”

After Cao Zhengyang, the merchants flattered Xiao Ming one after another.

Xiao Ming is smiling, but he doesn't pay attention to the flattery of the businessmen. The businessmen pursue profits, and now they give them benefits. Naturally, they all show their loyalty.

If he didn't give them any benefits this time, he would be swearing behind their backs. However, although he knew the businessman's temperament, he still had to be good at making use of this capital monster to carry Qingzhou forward.

So he said, "thank you for your praise. I'm just fulfilling my promise. Now you'd better choose the grassland you need. Of course, if you dislike the small grassland, I can sell you some more."

Hearing this, businessmen are more excited. Some businessmen who pay less are worried about the small grassland they can get. Now this problem has been solved.

They no longer hesitated, one by one with a pen began to circle up on the huge map of Youzhou.

After a while, 103 squares appeared on the map.

At this time, Xiao Ming scanned the map and found that these grasslands were mainly located near Cangzhou and Youzhou, and some were still near Shanhaiguan.

These businessmen are very smart. The closer they are to the city, the safer their grassland will be.

Looking at the square area on the map, Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to start measuring with a ruler.

This map is drawn according to the scale, which had been known by the merchants before. Now Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to write down the sizes drawn by the merchants and change them into the actual sizes.

Then, according to the actual amount of support given by the merchants, more money will be refunded and less money will be made up.

Soon, Li Kaiyuan gave the data to Xiao Ming.

"Cao Zhengyang, the taste of your Cao family is really big. If you draw such a large area, you need a lot of money." Xiao Ming said after seeing Cao Zhengyang's data.

In terms of statistics, Cao Zhengyang has drawn a grassland 60 Li Long and wide, while his 100000 Liang silver is only enough for a grassland 10 Li Long and wide at most.

"Your Highness, what can a ten mile wide grassland do? Since the sound of raising horses, naturally, more is better. Our Cao family also wants to provide his highness with a continuous supply of horses, cattle and sheep in the future. " Cao Zhengyang's smile.

Xiao Ming sneered in his heart. The Cao family is really rich.

Since Cao Zhengyang settled down in Qingzhou, the Cao family has revealed their strong financial resources everywhere in Qingzhou. He can at least be sure that he is not as rich as the Cao family.

And it's not half past one.

He suddenly remembered Shen Wansan of Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang built the Nanjing city wall, Shen Wansan was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang because he showed his wealth everywhere.

If there is a new person, I'm afraid that the Cao family's idea will be hit at this time. This sheep is too fat. No wonder the king of Chu has sharpened his sword.

Although Xiao Ming envies the Cao family's abundant financial resources, his main plan now is to attract capital to help Qingzhou get rich.

And the Cao family, the capital giant, came at the right time, so he not only can't scare away the Cao family now, but also has to lock it up in Qingzhou step by step to lay eggs for himself.

So he said with a smile, "well, I really don't think you Cao's family are wrong. In this way, I will give you a grassland 100 li long and wide, but I will cooperate with you with the rest of the grassland, that is to say, I will divide the profits of the grassland into 40% in the future. What do you think?"

Cao Zhengyang was stunned for a moment and reacted. He said with a smile: "Your Highness, Cao can't get it. With your Highness's support, we Cao's family can manage this grassland at ease."

Xiao Ming nodded and said to Li Kaiyuan, "you can discuss this with the Cao family and make it a decision."Li Kaiyuan was understanding and nodded with a smile. How could Xiao Ming be at ease with such a big hand of the Cao family? At this time, a cooperation is also meant to monitor the Cao family.

After all, war horses are a very serious problem. Everyone knows that there is a shortage of horses in the south. The price of a batch of war horses transported from the grassland to the fiefdom of the king of Chu can be tripled.

Such huge profits are enough to make many smugglers desperate. Therefore, Xiao Ming naturally wants to control the output of war horses. After all, this is a strategic resource.

In addition to his 10 km long and wide area, Cao Zhengyang paid 1.5 million taels of silver for the remaining 50 Li grassland.

Then Xiao Ming looked at other people's data, but to Xiao Ming's surprise, in the end, the grassland was basically controlled by three people.

Because some businessmen got their own meadows and sold them to Ding Wu, Cao Zhengyang and Dai Zixing.

The overall result is that Cao Zhengyang won a large grassland in Cangzhou, Ding Wu won a large grassland in Youzhou, and Dai Zixing won the grassland in Shanhaiguan, forming a tripartite situation.

It has to be said that this ending makes Xiao Ming very depressed. The game of capital big fish eating small fish is staged in front of him.

But there is no way. The ultimate goal of capital is to monopolize, but he will not give them this opportunity, because the biggest grassland is Xiao Ming's own.

The grassland is controlled by Qingzhou chamber of Commerce.

He will not give up state-owned capital in order to prevent the future expansion of capital.

After dividing the grassland, he made 2 million taels of money from Cao Zhengyang, Ding Wu and Dai Zixing. Generally speaking, he was very satisfied with the result. This northern expedition was a big profit.
