The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

Zhe Chu listened for a long time. He finally understood what kind of group this Chu Chamber of Commerce was. They were actually a team of businessmen. They were engaged in business specializing in Chu country products, such as sugar, silk, tea, and some non-ferrous minerals.

For example, copper, tin, and the tungsten ore discovered by the Qin people, etc. These are all transactions that Chu businessmen have to do, but what is hateful is that the Chu aristocrats

These businesses are all involved. The nobles have a huge monopoly advantage. This advantage also adds to their right to tax. As a result, the businessmen of Chu have less and less space for development, and their business becomes more and more difficult.

Do. So they can only complain here, but there is nothing they can do. This is also an important reason why Chu merchants cannot develop. Their strength is too weak.

But Fu Chu saw an opportunity. In his opinion, he found a source of funds to support his coup. Due to development, each major noble had his own business, and the financial resources were very strong. Therefore, the nobles of Chu State

It is equivalent to having their own country, coupled with a steady stream of taxes, which makes them even more unscrupulous.

As for Fu Chu, because he was the son of Chu State, he had his own fiefdom, but compared with the nobles of Chu State who had been running the business for many years, his strength was too weak. He wanted to seek the support of those nobles, but it was impossible.

Because his political views are in great conflict with those nobles, such conflicts make it difficult for him to obtain the support of the wealthy and powerful Chu nobles. At most, he can only get the support of some smaller nobles. In this case, he

There is simply no way to come to power through a coup.

But these businessmen can, they have a lot of funds in their hands. With such financial support, and at the same time, they get help from Qin and South Korea. It is not impossible to achieve such a request through a coup. It is too possible.

Merchants have money, but no status. In addition, they have no power, so many of their interests cannot be guaranteed. For example, the Chu nobles taxed people with such behavior. But Chu merchants have no way. They have no agents to represent them.

voice their political demands.

In the Qin State, the government was the spokesperson of the merchants, and the interests of the merchants were greatly guaranteed. On the other hand, the Chu State did this very poorly. It can be said that it has reached a harsh level towards the merchants.

"Everyone, everyone." At this time, Zhechu stood up and said.

"Excuse my incompetence. I think what everyone said makes sense." Xiang Chu said.

"But, if we continue like this, what kind of solutions do you have to solve the problem?" Zheng Chu asked everyone. At this time, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. It seems that Zheng Chu suddenly got to the point.

"Today, many countries rely on the power of merchants to make the country a lot stronger, such as the State of Qin. The strength of the State of Qin itself is very great. But after the State of Qin uses merchants, it will quickly expand its territory a hundred times, even

The Xiongnu in the north were all conquered by the Qin people. The Western Regions were several times larger than our Chu State, but they also became their Qin State. There was also South Korea, which was almost destroyed. But the Queen of South Korea quickly regained control of the country.

Using merchants to develop commerce, how is the current situation? South Korea's strength has greatly increased, and today South Korea has become an important power." Fu Chu boasted like this. Hearing such words, the Chu businessmen felt extremely comfortable, because no one had ever said

After saying this, their merchants did have a lot of money, but other than having money, no one said that the merchants were good. But these words that Fu Chu said made them feel that their status had suddenly risen a lot.

"In my opinion, in the future, if Chu State wants to develop and grow and become a powerful country, it will need to rely on the strength of our businessmen to maintain it." Fu Chu said.

"Yes. This young master is very right." A businessman stood up and supported.

"Yes. You are right. From now on, Chu State will have to rely on us Chu merchants." Other businessmen rallied to support him.

"Since everyone thinks so, I think it is not an option for us to complain here. Think about it, if we continue to complain like this, can the nobles reduce taxes, or in other words, can the nobles open up the passage of these trades?

Are you done yet?" Xiang Chu asked at this time.

"This." The businessmen were a little confused, but they did have a lot to say. If they continued to complain like this, they would not be able to solve the problem at all. This is the key to the problem. They are not complaining about the problem, but trying to find ways to solve it.

The businessmen themselves were very practical. They wanted to understand this, and they nodded one after another. Although they couldn't hold on, they still felt that solving practical problems could bring huge profits, and they should do such things.

"People in the Qin State value merchants, and Koreans also value merchants. The Northern Wei and Zhao States are all strengthening the power of merchants, but our Chu State lags behind a lot. Our Chu State's merchants should unite and establish a strong trade union based on the Chamber of Commerce.

The political party should do something in Chu State to let the people of Chu State know about us. In this case, we can develop rapidly. The nobles of Chu State will have to value us. In this way, our status will be solved a lot."

Negi Chu said.

"Yes. That's right. Why didn't we think of it? Everyone has money, but what's the point of having more money? But it's different when we have power. The status of our businessmen has been greatly improved. This

Brother is right." A businessman agreed.

"Yes. That's right." Others praised him one after another.

"Brother, keep talking, what should we do next? We listen to you, you keep talking." A businessman stood up and waved his arms to indicate that he was carrying the cud and continued.

"Okay. I'll just go ahead and tell you my opinion." Xiang Chu said.

"My opinion is that we businessmen from Chu State should form a party. This party is more advanced than the aristocrats of Chu State," said Fu Chu.

"Then we will recruit soldiers from the Chu State to form an army and form a huge force of support. We can support a salary rise to replace the current unscrupulous King of Chu." Negi Chu said loudly.

Hearing such words, the businessmen were shocked. This was something they had never dared to think about before. Are their businessmen so powerful? Some businessmen smiled bitterly, and some laughed, but more people were shocked. They

Never thought of it this way.

"We can use the power of Qin and South Korea to put pressure on the nobles of Chu. In this case, we can quickly obtain our rights and interests, and our interests can be guaranteed to the maximum extent." negative Cu continued.
