Vol 4 Chapter 1198: mutually beneficial

Qi Ning announced the four chapters of the covenant to everyone, and everyone doubted it. Ma Wencheng knew that this matter was not trivial. It was related to the future of many northwestern noble families. He got up and said: "Just Lord, Caomin Ma Wencheng, ask the courageously whether the Chu army, Can you really obey the four chapters of this covenant? "
"Since I am here to explain to you, I will naturally take responsibility." Qi Ning said: "The notice has been posted to all parts of the city. I know that when Chu Jun first entered the city, he issued a prohibition order, and the people in the city must not Walk around arbitrarily, this is actually to protect everyone's safety. If soldiers and horses enter the city, if there is chaos in the city, there will inevitably be riots, and some unintentional people will certainly take advantage of the chaos and impose a foot restraint order, which can first stabilize the order of Xianyang. Live, if there is no problem, the injunction can be lifted after two days. What should everyone do and what they do, it is no different than before. "
Ma Wencheng said: "The Chu army entered the city and Qiu was not guilty of it. It really admired us in our hearts. Lord Jue can be said to be of immense merit."
"Since you are invited to come, openly and honestly face each other." Qi Ning said: "I know that you have always been worried, thinking about whether our Chu army will be looted after entering the city, or it will force you family clan. Take the money out, and now I can tell you bluntly that no one will infringe on your property, and we will not only guarantee the safety of your property, but also guarantee your personal safety. "
Everyone heard Qi Ning's promise, the stone in his heart fell halfway, but some people doubted it.
"I have heard the reputation of Master Ma before." Qi Ning looked at Ma Wencheng and said, "We just said that I would like to invite you over here today. There is something to discuss."
Ma Wencheng arched his hand and said: "I don't know what Sir Jude has instructed? If you really need some silver, you can still get some together."
Ma Wencheng knows the people's hearts, and he thinks that this little prince summoned a group of patriarchs of the family clan. After all, it is still for the silver.
Qi Ning said with a smile: "I don't want you to have one or two silvers, it's just that you have something to do with what you discuss."
Everyone couldn't help but sneer, thinking that the three words hadn't been finished. After all, the little lord still showed his true face.
"Everyone knows that after the split between the North and the South, our Dachu and North Han were always hostile." Qi Ning sighed: "The two countries have met each other for many years, and the ties between the people have been interrupted as a result." Tao: "Master Ma, as far as I know, the trade between Northwest and Xichuan was quite prosperous. The businessmen on both sides came and went. The Qinling narrow road has been caravans all the time, but I wonder if it is true or false?"
Marvin set up and said: "It's true that it is true. Lord Caomin. When he was young, he often went to Xichuan. Xichuan's products are abundant, and there are many goods in the northwest of China. Both sides of the trade and business travel are continuous. At that time, business transactions were indeed prosperous. No Hidden Lord, all of you here today have some assets. They were able to make a fortune back then, and many of them really depended on trade on both sides. "
Qi Ning said with a smile: "So today I said that the matter I discussed with you has something to do with silver, that's right. Tongguan is already under the control of our Da Chu, and the Qinling Mountains are no longer a barrier between the two countries as before. Earth, I mean, if you are willing, I immediately make a courtesy to the court, ask the emperor to show mercy, and reopen the trade between northwest and Xichuan, of course, not only with Xichuan, if you are willing to go around Xichuan to the capital and even the East China Sea, We can all issue customs clearance documents to you, as long as you are in the territory of Chu, you will be free to trade in the future. "
When Qi Ning said this, everyone at the scene was surprised. Ma Wencheng shook his hands slightly, unable to conceal his excitement: "Lord Lord ... Is Lord Lord telling the truth?"
Qi Ning smiled and said, "Everyone I listen to these words is in my ears, and I can't joke with you here. My emperor Chu's ambition is to unify the world, let all people live and work in peace, cultivate the fields with peace of mind, do Business people will also provide convenience for them to do business well and prosper for farmers. This is not only beneficial to the people, but also to the court. "Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, I said," I don't hide from you, before I came to the northwest, I just smashed all the chaos in Xichuan, and now Xichuan is still peaceful. If you go to Xichuan to trade, I can guarantee everything will be peaceful. "
One of them stood up and said: "Grandpa, if the court can really allow us to go south to trade, we are really grateful."
"The fight between the two countries in recent years, whether it is Xichuan or Northwest, has undertaken a lot of taxation." Qi Ning said: "I know that everyone is very difficult, so when making a trade-off, I will also ask the emperor to reduce the taxation of everyone as much as possible. , I ca n’t guarantee success or failure, but I will do my best. "
Everyone suddenly showed joy.
Ma Wencheng looked at Qi Ning as if he was making a joke, and said: "Grandpa, if it can really open the North-South trade, it will indeed make the business prosperous. Grandpa has no idea, we have been working If you can go south, you can bring a large amount of goods from the western region to the south. In this way, from the western region to Xichuan, no, even to Jianye Jingcheng can open a commercial road. In this way, not only us can Earning money through business and trade, the imperial court will also increase a lot of taxed income, which is of great benefit to the country and the people. "
"It's so good." Qi Ning laughed: "But I'm not a businessman. I don't understand how to do business. I still need you to go to Zhang Luo for specific operations. What I can do is what problems you encounter when trading. I can Try to solve it for everyone. "
Everyone was still uneasy before, but at this time they all showed the color of joy. The original suppressed atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed.
"Grandpa, Cao Min has something to say. Don't ask me?" One hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and bravely arched his hand.
Qi Ning raised his hand and said: "There is nothing to say but it's okay to say."
"Grandpa, I don't know ..... I don't know if the Chu army will be stationed here?" The man said with a bit of embarrassment: "Or will he withdraw after a while? Qu Yuangu had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hand, and. ... and most of them are the children of the Northwest. They lost Xianyang and they will definitely come back. When the time comes ... "
As soon as this statement came out, the other people's expressions were heavy.
There is no doubt that Qi Ning told everyone to reopen the road of North-South trade, which has a huge attraction for everyone present. In fairness, the Northwest was really conquered by the Han Dynasty in only 20 or 30 years. Moreover, since the Northern Han Dynasty has been fighting troops with the Chu Kingdom, the Northwest is not a wealthy place, but it has to bear the huge taxation expenses of the Han Dynasty. After the Northwest was included in the Northern Han territory, it did not enjoy the benefits of the Northern Han from top to west. On the contrary, it was the tax that was apportioned year after year that made the Northwestern people miserable.
After Qu Yuangu came to the northwest, he even intensified. He sucked the resources of the northwest greedily like a vampire. Until now, the northwest people still do n’t have a strong sense of belonging to the Northern Han Dynasty, just like the family of the East China Sea in the Chu Kingdom. He did not surrender to the heart of Chu.
When the Chu army entered the city, Qi Ning made four chapters of the law, and he wanted to open the trade route between the North and the South, and he even had to ask the court for tax relief for the Northwest family. These are of immediate interest to the family in the Northwest. Letting them have a sense of belonging to Chu is of course a fool ’s dream, but the conditions of Qi Ning obviously let everyone feel a bright future. At this time, let them make a choice. Of course, they are willing to seek for their family under the protection of Chu. Greater benefits.
But no one dares to guarantee that Chu can really stabilize in the northwest. After all, Qu Yuangu still has tens of thousands of brave and warlike Northwest Army. If at this time, the Northwest clan actively throws into the arms of Chu, But within a few days, Qu Yuangu returned again, then Qu Yuangu would not be so polite to these northwest clans.
What this person asked was actually what everyone worried about.
How did Qi Ning not understand everyone's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The apprentices of Chu State who were beaten down with blood will not give in for an inch."
He didn't speak very loudly, and he spoke lightly, but it gave a very firm feeling.
Ma Wen said: "Lord Lord, we will set up a wind banquet for Lord Lord tomorrow night. In addition, we also want to show our hearts to the soldiers. I wonder if it is possible?"
Although Qi Ning made four chapters of the law and said that Qiu was not guilty, Ma Wencheng thought that since the army entered the city, if these nobles in the northwest did not show anything at all, they would be a little uneasy after all. .
Everyone here was rich in money, and each of them took out 12,000 silver, which was enough to reward Chu Generals.
Qi Ning waved his hands and smiled: "No need to do so. Although you can go home with peace of mind, there are too many official duties here. There must be no time in these days. Of course, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time. Master Ma, the people in the city are uneasy. It ’s human nature ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I also ask you to help appease the people so that they do n’t have to worry about it. After two or three days, when everything goes well, you can lift the injunction. "
"Grandpa rest assured, I'll wait to know what to do." Ma Wencheng busy.
Qi Ning got up and said, "There is help from all of you. I still have something to do, please." Fists around, and everyone salutes Qi Ning, watching Qi Ning leave with a smile.
When Qi Ning left, the talents were completely relieved.
Everyone knows that what Qi Ning said today is also to appease the hearts of the people, and then use the prestige and power of everyone in Xianyang and even the northwest to stabilize the situation in the northwest.
If the noble families in the northwest help the Chu army stabilize the situation, then the northwest will never fall into turmoil.
For the ancestors of the family, it is not a bad thing to help the Chu army stabilize the situation. After all, the stability in the northwest is not harmful to the ancestors of the family, and Qining promised to open up the North-South trade. This is the dream of the northwestern people. Since the Chu people took it out With sincerity, it is natural to show sincerity accordingly.
