It only took Qiao Mu ten years to use economic means and technological innovation to raise the economic strength of the entire South Vietnam country to its peak. Not only was the national economic outlook no longer inferior to that of the Chang'an people.
Even slightly better in many aspects.
At the same time, it also indirectly controls the entire salt-iron economic lifeline of Liu Han to a certain extent. The iron aspect may not be completely controlled, but the salt control is definitely very thorough.
With the addition of technologies such as sun-salt purification.
And Qiao Mu herself does not intend to make money from salt, but only intends to grasp the economic lifeline of the salt industry, which makes her salt price set extremely low.
The selling price of refined salt after traveling through mountains and rivers.
It¡¯s almost the same as coarse salt.
Coarse salt is sold cheaper than poisonous salt.
In this way, which salt seller in the world can compete with Qiao Mu? At the same price, no one would know how to choose the right one to buy, let alone choose between buying poisonous salt or non-toxic salt at the same price. , Liu Han's salt industry basically collapsed within a few years since Qiao Mu started selling salt.
It¡¯s just because Qiaomu doesn¡¯t engage in retail, but has always engaged in wholesale, selling wholesale to many people.
At first glance, it looks like there are many people selling salt.
It¡¯s not just one family selling it.
That¡¯s why it didn¡¯t attract much attention.
But the iron aspect is not good. Firstly, Qiaomu cannot keep the iron price too low. After all, the cost is there. Secondly, the Shaofu has a special iron forging institution. No matter how the iron price outside fluctuates, they have always been Self-produced and sold.
It doesn¡¯t have much impact.
In addition, some princes and kings cannot buy large quantities of other people's iron to cast weapons and armor, so they still have to secretly make it themselves.
The combination of these circumstances directly caused Qiao Mu's iron, although it occupied half of Liu Han's territory, to be unable to make any further progress.
But compared to the previous two.
The industry with the largest development scale of Qiaomu and the most deeply rooted in people's hearts and various fields is the minting industry.
The copper and iron coins cast by Qiao Mu are quite good in terms of appearance and value. At least in the eyes of the world, they are definitely worth the money. After all, there are too many low-quality copper coins popular on the market at this time. Now, from the ancient copper coins minted during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the low-quality copper coins made by a certain family recently, they are all in circulation.
When selling something, just measuring the value of different copper coins is a headache, so most merchants would rather barter. .
It wasn't until the appearance of the beautifully forged copper coins and iron coins on the Qiaomu side, which were not lacking in weight at all and had very stable values, that copper coins and iron coins became truly popular and penetrated deep into towns and villages for barter. The proportion of goods has dropped by more than half in recent years.
The entire Liu Han Dynasty has almost no longer seen those low-quality coins, or in the transaction process, few merchants are willing to accept those low-quality coins. When selling things, priority is given to those who own the copper coins and silver coins produced by Qiaomu. At this time, it directly forced those who had a large number of low-quality copper coins in their hands or made low-quality copper coins themselves to stop, or find ways to transport the low-quality copper coins to South Vietnam and exchange them for copper coins made of arbors.
For a time, the situation was somewhat similar to that of the Song Dynasty.
That means even though the country is not that good.
But the whole world uses Song money.
The current situation is that although the population and land area of ??the South Vietnam country is not as good as that of Liu Han, it does use all the Vietnamese money in the world. Qiao Mu has also become the veritable richest man in South Vietnam. At the same time, his reputation in South Vietnam has become quite good. Many people who were originally Those hundreds of Vietnamese who were crippled but did not completely surrender to Zhao Tuo were all under the influence of Qiao Mu, either Chinese farming or joining Qiao Mu workshops or escorts to make money to support their families.
My life as a child is much better than in the past.
Sometimes what Qiao Mu said.
More useful than their tribal leaders.
And when the power has developed to this point, it has obviously begun to arouse the fear of others, and it is even necessary to take precautions and make some preparations in advance.
¡°And Qiao Mu¡¯s eldest son is also fifteen or sixteen years old.
It¡¯s time to hold up the door.
Therefore, after she realized that Zhao Tuo might take action against her and her forces.
Immediately he dragged the four children at home.
We secretly held a small meeting.
"Ping'er, An'er, our peaceful days are probably coming to an end. According to the secret guard report I arranged, Zhao Tuo has already deployed his troops privately.
They are trying to seize our property.
What do you think we should do?
Or, if you have any larger goals, I can support you. "
In the underground secret room, Qiao Mu talked about these things very frankly, and looked at the four children, who had changed their surnames to Lu, and asked them about their future ideas, or goals and hopes.
When the time comes, she can try her best to cooperate.
She can¡¯t provide much else, but she can still provide perfect logistical support.
¡°Mom, I still say the same thing.
"I am not willing to accept it. In terms of status and blood, you are now the Empress of the Han Dynasty, and I am the eldest son of the royal family, but Liu Heng is in vain to be the king's father.
Not only will I poison you.
Even tiger poisonous meals.
I can't bear this hatred.
So I want to take revenge, whether it¡¯s by raising an army to overthrow Liu Han¡¯s royal family, or poisoning him directly. At the same time, I also want to do these things openly and tell the world what he did. "
It can be said that Lu Ping clenched his fists and said this declaration through gritted teeth. There were some things that he may not have understood very deeply when he was a child, but when he grows up and recalls those things that happened when he was a child, he can undoubtedly clearly feel that he The father's ill will towards the four of them.
Later, Liu Heng announced the will of his four legitimate sons to die of illness one by one, which convinced him that Liu Heng had never wanted to save their lives. If their mother had not managed to save them, I am afraid they would have become withered bones in the grave. The hatred is so great that even the gift of childbirth cannot offset it.
¡°Besides, it was their mother who gave birth to them in ten months of pregnancy, and it was their mother who raised them. Liu Heng¡¯s share of the gift of giving birth and raising them is simply minuscule, so how can it be offset?
"Brother is right, such murderous revenge must be avenged. Besides, mother, don't you want to avenge the Lu family? Those people who exterminated the nine Lu family clans are not dead yet.
"The ancients said that the revenge of ten generations can still be repaid. Now it has just been ten years. Have you forgotten it? Besides, you are not just accumulating strength here just to make money."
Since Zhao Tuo wants to seize your property, the worst we can do is lead Baiyue people to kill Zhao Tuo¡¯s men and directly occupy the land of South Vietnam and proclaim himself emperor.
When the time comes, the eldest brother will be the emperor.
You are also the Queen Mother!
After that, we will use Baiyue as the foundation, march northward, destroy Liu Han, and establish the Lu Empire. "
Lu An was in his second year of high school, so of course he was eager to try. As if his enemies were all local chickens and dogs, he could sweep the world in an instant. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
