"What else should I say? I'm very confused when I go to Funan." Ma Zhou smiled.

The relationship between the two has long surpassed that of ordinary people.

"Actually, it's very simple. To put it bluntly, don't rush to destroy Zhenla in one breath. This is unrealistic. Zhenla's territory is very large, probably half the size of the Central Plains. Especially the terrain and climate over there are not what we are familiar with. So we have to keep steady and steady, and the most important thing is to be able to control it."

"I would like to remind you that in Linyi and Funan, schools should be set up as soon as possible so that all indigenous children can study for free. You can even give them some good conditions, such as when children come to study, they can recognize their land and property, and even give them annual exemption of land and other entries."

"To apply for household registration for the indigenous people and to get their hair and dress up, they must wear the Hanfu of our Tang Dynasty, keep our hair styles, and even set up literacy classes for them to teach them Chinese. Those who do not have their hair and dress up, must be severely punished and killed and warned the monkey."

"Of course, we must restrain the soldiers and the Han people of the past, and we must maintain fairness and justice."

"We must win over those prestigious figures among the natives."

"Looking for ways to encourage Han people to immigrate, attract investment, and levy less entrusted to recruit troops. Naturally, the indigenous people will support us."

Li Chao proposed the erosion-style colonization, which first set up a stronghold and develop slowly, and even then the indigenous people would yearn for life in the territory occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

He did not support that kind of comprehensive war. On the one hand, the war consumed a lot and required huge expenses of manpower, material resources and military forces. Moreover, this way of dominating and ruling can easily lead to resistance from the natives.

It's better to boil a frog in warm water.

Swallow a little bit, firmly grasp the control of the occupied land, and even make the occupied area a beacon for the entire Indochina Peninsula, so that the people of Linyi, Zhenla, Funan, Langya Xiu, Jietu, Piao and other small countries must yearn for the Tang Dynasty infinitely.

We are proud to be able to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty and to obtain a household registration for the Tang Dynasty as our lifelong goal.

At that time, there will naturally be countless leaders leading the way for the Tang Dynasty.

Even at that time, the Tang Dynasty could easily support some forces that surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to split them, and the Tang Dynasty enjoyed the benefits of fishermen.

"Your method is very sinister, but it is quite practical." Ma Zhou exclaimed after hearing this.

"After all, our ultimate goal is to control this place and assimilate it, rather than just plundering it. If that is the case, we can conquer cities and land, but we cannot do this. We must strictly enforce military discipline, not burn, kill, loot, we cannot conquer the sect, we must even develop the local economy and justice. All the purpose is for long-term stability."

Ma Zhou took a sip of tea.

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and finally asked.

"Wen Yuan, I heard a news that it is said that a very powerful maritime force appeared further south of Funan. They conquered cities and territories and fought with several countries such as Langya Xiu, Jie Tu, and Srivo Sa. Some people said that this force was actually a mercenary of the Nanyang Company. Some people said that this force was a mercenary of the Li family Haihang, and some people said that it was a private soldier of Zhang Zhongjian, the Duke of Nanhai County."

"Wen Yuan tells me, what's going on with these soldiers?"

Li Chao held the teacup and smiled, "Actually it's nothing, it's just the guard of the Li family caravan. Because the Jietu Kingdom sent someone to rob my sea boat, I sent someone to retaliate against them."

Li Chao said that the wind was clear and the clouds were quiet.

Ma Zhou, who was proven, was shocked.

"Revenge? Not only that, as far as I know, that army has at least 50,000 people. They are fully armed, have hundreds of warships, and the soldiers have muskets, artillery, and iron armor. If the Kata Kingdom had already seized more than a dozen ports by them, even the two major countries, Langyashu and Sriva Satoshi, were defeated by them many times. How could this be a mere mercenary?"

"Old Ma, our caravan's guards are retaliating against the plundering ships overseas in the Tang Dynasty. This Tang Dynasty should not be in charge."

Ma Zhou sighed.

"It's of course not to control it, but Wen Yuan, haven't you ever thought that even I already knew the news, how could the court not know, how could the emperor not know? What do you think the court would think of a powerful force of 50,000 people in the South China Sea?"

"Even if the court has no evidence, you can guess who this huge power is with your toes."

"Actually, it's not as strong as you said. In fact, there are only 20,000 people. The others are some sailors, and the other 20,000 are natives recruited. My power has no other intentions. It is to protect the maritime trade routes, open up some colonial strongholds, build ports there, and supply merchant ships. It is completely a commercial act."

Ma Zhou was worried, "Wenyuan, I feel that you are playing with fire more and more, which is very dangerous."

"Don't worry, I know it."

I don’t know if there are any digits or not?

This is Li Chao's last guarantee, and he will not give up easily.

"Wen Yuan, sometimes I can't see through you."

"Old Ma, you just need to know that my man is more important than my personal life. I am for the Tang Dynasty, for China, and for future generations."

Although Qinzhou Port is not the fiefdom of the Li family, this prosperous port city does indeed belong to the Li family.

The land in the suburbs of the city is basically in the hands of the Li family. The shops and houses built in the city are basically rented by the Li family, and the famous big business shops in the city are also all from the Li family.

The Li family’s money house provided a large amount of working capital for the merchants in Qinzhou and those shipped merchants. The Li family’s fleet even carried more than 70% of the cargo transportation at the port.

It can be said that this harbor city has the surname Li.

Li Chao is here, and countless businessmen want to come and visit.

These are all wealthy businessmen, basically holding the title of parliamentary member. There are state parliamentarians, Taoist parliamentarians, and even central parliamentarians.

But outside the Li family's house, there was still a queue.

If you can get along with the Li family, you will be really out of the way. Even if you say a few words to Li Chao, it will be enough for them to brag for the rest of their lives. In the future, when talking about business with others, and saying that King Zhao has met me, it will bring a lot of convenience to the business.

After Li Chao finished his conversation with Ma Zhou, he met with the managers of Qinzhou Port first.

Although the Li family is now prosperous, the family population is not large, and Li Chao does not like to manage the industry through family methods. He has always been accustomed to managing the management method of a team of professional managers.

All Li Family Industry are professional managers, basically, they have jobs and jobs. After doing well, they can even be qualified to subscribe to shares.

However, the Li family also has high requirements for these managers. Basically, each position has a term of office, which is about the same term as the prime ministers of the court, each term of five years, and a maximum term of re-elected two terms.

The Li family not only requires performance for managers, but also requires professional ethics. The assessment is very strict and there is a lot of supervision. In short, the treatment is generous when you can enter the Li family, but the pressure on competition is also great. If you have the ability, you have to go up, and if you don’t have the ability, you have to go down.

Usually, there are many dividends, but whoever dares to reach out will have serious consequences.

Li Chao had a gentle look on his face.

He doesn't even need to check the accounts. The industry is so big that he can rely on him to check it, and it will be inefficient if he is exhausted. The Li family has its own supervision system and review team.

He talked with everyone about the weather, and the weather here.

"Each branch has developed very well. I will only mention a few points. The profit of the business development is very important, but what is more important is the signature of our Li family. We need to create a reputation and brand, so that when outsiders mention Li Ji, the first thing they think of is a good impression, not profit-oriented."

"We also have to assume some public responsibilities, and we have to repay the society if we make money. For example, we can withdraw some money every year to establish some Hope Primary School in some relatively poor mountainous areas and other places. We can establish special nursing homes for helpless elderly people and raise some minimum security funds for disabled people. Over the years, we can give some money to some poor families, and when we encounter famine, we can actively donate money to help resettlement. We can even spend some money every year to build roads and bridges, establish some technical schools, teach young people some free technologies, etc.."

"You can also spend money to hold some celebrations and activities during festivals, and to enrich everyone's lives."

"Pay money to organize some free physical examinations to check on everyone's health."

······

For such a huge business empire as the Li family, it only takes a little money a year to organize many activities that will win a lot of good reputations.

And in fact, doing these charity is not just about spending money. In this era, brands are very important. With excellent reputation brands, they can also be converted into great profits.

"I also remember to care for our own employees. If there are illnesses and disasters at home, I should raise relief funds for him and mobilize employees to donate to him. The salaries of workers should be appropriately higher than those of their peers. They have contributed their efforts to make our income higher than other families, and of course we can get higher salaries than other families."

The managers present nodded desperately for Li Chao's words.

Write them all down carefully.

Although Li Chao did not directly manage the Li family's industry, the Li family's industry has expanded so rapidly over the years and achieved such great benefits, of course, it is inseparable from the helmsman Li Chao, the helmsman.

"Of course, there is the most important point. Reasonable tax avoidance is normal, but we cannot evade taxes. This must be strictly recorded. Paying taxes is an obligation that every business must fulfill."

Everyone kept saying yes.

At this time, Li Chao put away his smiling face.

"The vast majority of Qinzhou officials have done a good job, but there are some people who make me very sad. In the past, I have always emphasized that don't stretch out your hand, you will be caught. In order to eliminate such things, we have always adopted the generous treatment of high salary and share dividends, but there are always some people who are not satisfied with their hearts and people swallow the elephant."

When many people heard Li Chao's words, they had changed their faces.

Li Chao took out a piece of paper with the names of about hundreds of people written on it. There were senior managers, some middle-level managers, some low-level managers, even guys and apprentices.

These people are all from various industries in the Li family Qinzhou, and they are also unclean people. Some people take kickbacks, some people secretly misappropriate them, and some people make fake accounts. In short, no matter how clever these people are, they are still found out.

"A group of rats are always found every year, but they cannot be eliminated every year." Li Chao shook his head and sighed.

"The Li family will not stay these people no matter how much they are, no matter how much they are. And I will publicly declare to other families that these people will not be used by the Li family in the future, and other families will not dare to use them."

This is the punishment of the Li family and will never be tolerated.
