Everyone wants to get the most benefit at the least cost.
Now that King Duan is asking for money, he has to ask them. They occupy a dominant position, and they should really strive for more, no matter what the benefits are.
With this thought in mind, he ordered Ma Jinyu to go ahead and talk to see how King Duan would react to this. However, the development of things was completely unexpected by them. After receiving the news, they dared not have any other thoughts, and only hoped that they would be lucky to reach a cooperation with Duan Wang this time.
There was a hint of ridicule in Ma Jinyu's eyes, if Duan Wang was so easily grasped, he would not be Duan Wang. Thinking back to when he was ordered to mention such a thing openly and secretly in jokes, King Duan didn't care about it at all.
Can't afford so much money? Dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits, huh, huh! Then just quit by yourself, isn't it good to give the opportunity to those who are prepared? Look at this attitude, it's not an attitude of begging them for money at all, it's like they're asking Duan Wang to accept the money instead.
He was also depressed at the time, so he mentioned something: "My lord, aren't you short of money? If there is no compromise, what if the merchants unite and are unwilling to pay the money?"
Ming Yu smiled slightly at the time, "It's not just your merchants who are rich in this world,"
He was surprised, besides businessmen, who else in this world can come up with so much money
Ming Yu saw through his thoughts with a half-smile, "There are many ways for this king to earn money, it's just a matter of time. How many people are there in Dayan? If you get it from them, it's a breeze. It doesn’t need to be too much, five Wen and ten Wen per person, what kind of figure should it be if we raise funds together?”
He was stunned when he heard it, "Is there a way for the prince to make the people willing to pay?" A few tens of pennies, although not much, can be accumulated, let alone a Xiqi Corridor, even the entire border area can Well built.
"Businessmen seek profit, but people also like to take advantage of it. If there is a bank bank, let the people put their money in it. The interest rate will be raised every month and every year. After two or three years, money will make money. Do you think there will be people Put the money in it?"
"..." Ma Jinyu has never heard of such a thing. Nowadays, people hide their spare money in their homes and only use it when they have important things. It has never been possible to increase money by putting money in someone else's place.
If it was him, with such a good thing, and the extra money, maybe he would really try it out.

130. Chapter 130
"It's just that this matter is complicated and requires detailed planning. At worst, the planning should take a little longer, which is better than looking for merchants to directly raise funds. But the merchants voluntarily give up such a good opportunity, and the king can't do it. Let's take a little longer, this I can afford to wait for a while, Xiqi Corridor has been here for so many years, why rush for a while? Don’t you think so?” Ming Yu looked at him smiling harmlessly, which made him inexplicably terrified stand up.
"Yes, that's the reason." What else could he say? People don't have to rely on your money at all, so what can they do? On the contrary, if the merchants want to enter and exit the Xiqi Corridor in the future, and do business in the Western Regions, they must ask Duan Wang for help.
After returning, he told his father exactly what King Duan said. After the father heard it, he was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh, "No one can match the talents of Duan Wang Tianzong!"
Putting this matter aside, the Ma family no longer had any extra thoughts, and just prepared honestly. Now that Mrs. Zhu said so, they can see what the final result will be. They are also very happy to see if Zhu and Wang's family can come back against the wall.
Small and medium merchants like Liu Shun and Zhao Yan also whispered to each other that they don't have much capital, and the less money they invest, the less profit they will make. For the best interests of them, it is necessary for them to unite together, at least they can get third and fourth class qualifications together. At that time, when there is interest, everyone will distribute it according to the amount of each person, which will be much better than fighting alone.
After discussing for a while, everyone has made up their minds. The rest is what they don't understand and ask them to explain it to them.
Zhao Yan is the person they put in charge, and it would be best for him to come forward.
Liu Shun leaned over his head and told the news that just came over. Zhao Yan looked up at him and asked doubtfully, "The Zhu family, the Wang family wants to make conditions? Is this too hasty?"
"Whether he is in a hurry or not, if they join forces, if the deal is really concluded, won't it be beneficial to us?" Liu Shun clearly supported this.
Zhao Yan frowned, "Is it just the Zhu and Wang families? What about the Ma family? Didn't participate?"
Liu Shun shook his head, "I don't know. The news was passed down by Patriarch Wang, and all the merchants present knew about it. Most of them agreed to support it, and a few people don't need to worry about it."
"Oh?" Zhao Yan understood, "You mean we will also go with the Zhu family and the Wang family?"
Liu Shun nodded, "Anyway, it's not a bad thing. No matter whether we can talk about it or not, the Zhu and Wang families are early birds, and the matter won't fall on our shoulders. We should deal with it."
"There are so many people in Jinling merchants, is it a whole, let's discuss it with everyone. According to the old rules, the minority obeys the majority?"
Although what Liu Shun said was reasonable, he still hoped to discuss it with everyone, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Yan was convinced by everyone. Can take care of everyone's ideas, never arbitrary.
Liu Shun knew his concerns, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's good to discuss it." He has already asked everyone what they think, and they all have this wish, otherwise he would not mention it again.
Not only them, other people were bewitched by the Zhu family and the Wang family, and it was their own business. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of it? They all agreed.
A servant whispered something in Ming Yu's ear, Ming Yu just smiled and waved his hands indifferently.
After waiting for about half an hour, seeing that everyone understood the situation, he said quietly, "Everyone can see clearly after thinking about it. If you have any questions, you can ask them. This king will answer your questions. If there are no questions, You can fill out the form sent to you. This is your investment contract, that is, how much you invest and how much you will earn in the future, all depends on this contract. You can take a closer look at the terms of the contract, how to follow it, in black and white It says that if there is any violation in the future, the above terms can be followed.”
Someone sent a few pages of paper and explained it in detail. Everyone saw that the above terms and conditions were comprehensive. They had been in business for many years, and if they had a sales contract, they simply stated it. After asking the middleman to witness it, they put their fingerprints on it and it was over. Where there are such complicated instructions, almost everything that needs to be paid attention to in cooperation is included. The responsibilities of both parties, and how they will be punished for breach of contract in the future, are everything.
Everyone was delighted. If such a contract, as Duan Wang said, is something that protects the rights and interests of both parties, they would no longer have any worries.
"This is really good. Maybe we can prepare such a share in the future after we have negotiated a deal, and everyone will have nothing to say." Someone said.
This is very suitable for them to discuss business. Everything is agreed upon first, and then such a contract is drawn up, and everyone abides by each other, so there will be no doubts, let alone disputes.
After everything was understood, someone finally stood up and asked aloud: "If there is something you don't understand, I dare to ask. The prince made an estimate on the booklet. He said that as long as we invest in it, the money in three years' time will be paid." The interest will at least reach two or three times the rate of return, so what if it doesn't reach this number?"
Ming Yu smiled and said: "It has been specified in the contract, this is the budget, there can be a 10% fluctuation, but since the king has already promised, after three years no matter what, your return will only be more or less. "
These words made many people feel at ease, that is to say, if they invest in it now, three years later, they will be able to make a profit without losing money.
"My lord, may I ask you that the first-class investment line of Xiqi Corridor tariff will be reduced by half in the next ten years. And the fifth-class investment line will be exempted by 10% within three years. How is this calculated?"
"This is just an additional preferential condition. Naturally, the greater the investment, the greater the preferential intensity. As long as the Xiqi Corridor passes through, caravans will have to pay customs duties when they enter and exit. At that time, it will be calculated based on the value of the goods, and the tax will be one out of ten." Ming Yu said.
"Hiss!" Everyone had a toothache, but such a high tax
Old Master Zhu squinted his eyes, no wonder the Ma family is trying their best to fight for this first-class investment line. Just reducing and exempting half of the tariffs for ten years is enough to make people desperate.
"Why is such a high tax set? You can do business anywhere in the world. Does it have to go to the Western Regions and the Xiqi Corridor?" Someone said dissatisfied.
"If you don't leave, someone will leave. If you don't want to pay the tariffs, you don't need to trade in the Western Regions." Someone directly turned back.
Those short-sighted people didn't see how much money King Duan made during his trip to the Western Regions.
