Chapter 106: Sooner or later, the evil five will be accused
"Whether it's a trial or whether it's true that he's cornered and he's too embarrassed to speak, we all have to give him a hand anyway."
"Seeing that he is in trouble, there is no point in not helping him. After all, he is the King of Chu, and we did not miss the Emperor's affection back then."
After Yu Zhining stopped smiling, he said indifferently.
The same is true for Chai Shao. Their feelings for Li Kuan are very complicated.
Especially Chai Shao.
Chai Shao knows Li Zhiyun, he is Li Zhiyun’s brother-in-law.
Li Kuan returned to his mansion and quickly found Li Hai.
"Cut all channels for private sales and sell woolen sweaters in Shuofang City at the same price. Then tomorrow the military will come and take away 20,000 sweaters and trousers. You have to hand over the situation."
This made Li Hai silent for a moment, and then he frowned and asked: "Your Highness, why? We sell very well privately, can't we still evade some taxes?"
Li Kuan looked at Li Hai, took a deep breath, and scolded: "You must do things with moderation. The purpose of selling in private is to test my status in the heart of the governor. Uncle Chai came to see me today, so I naturally have to obey."
Hearing the words Uncle Chai, Li Hai reacted instantly.
Li Kuan used to call Chai Shao a general, but today he added the word uncle. Needless to say, Chai Shao must have gotten the news and came to rescue him.
In this case, Li Hai didn't mention anything and just obeyed the order.
The next day, Chai Shao sent someone to collect the sweaters and trousers as promised, and also sent money.
The general who came to receive the goods said to Li Hai, who was in charge of the handover: "My general asked me to tell you that when you follow His Highness the King of Chu, you must give more comfort and less trouble to the King of Chu."
This made Li Hai very dissatisfied. When did he, the second steward of the Chu Palace, have to be warned by others?
He wanted to get angry, but when faced with the opponent's blade, he finally accepted it.
Woolen sweaters sold well in Shuofang. People who were reluctant to buy stoves and coal liked woolen sweaters very much and bought them one after another.
Chai Shao's military camp also praised the cold resistance of woolen sweaters.
For this reason, Chai Shao specially wrote a memorial to the Ministry of War, hoping that they could add woolen sweaters to the winter clothing sequence.
The Minister of War at this time was Du Ruhui. Lao Du expressed his opinion on the existence of woolen sweaters. They were very good clothes, but the Tang Dynasty had limited strength and it was unrealistic for the entire army to change clothes. So the frontier troops should change them first.
Du Ruhui asked Chai Shao to place an order for Li Kuan on behalf of the Ministry of War. Two hundred thousand woolen sweaters were to be handed over before the winter of the third year of Zhenguan.
If he could make 300,000 pieces and hand them over before the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, then Du Ruhui would be even more satisfied.
The appearance of this order made several big figures in Shuofang City, namely Kong Yingda, Chai Shao, Liang Luoren, and Yu Zhining, feel nervous.
For this reason, the day after this order appeared, Yu Zhining held another small meeting of five people.
"Your Highness King Chu, please tell me about your bank plan."
"I have thought about it during this period. This plan will be beneficial to the trading market in Shuofang and the grassland, and will be more conducive to the transportation and trading of goods."
Yu Zhining was the first to speak.
Kong Yingda nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, I specifically discussed this transaction model with the family members. They also felt that although the previous transaction with clear money and goods was stable, it was too troublesome, especially now.
Large amounts of sugar, salt, etc. are traded, and each transaction involves a large amount of currency."
"But if we have this bank, we can let the people on the grassland put the cattle and sheep used to purchase goods into the bank's pasture, and then the bank will settle the transactions in Datang."
"This is an event that benefits the country and the people. I think my ancestors would support it even if they were still alive."
Kong Yingda's eyes flashed and he spoke seriously.
Liang Luoren also gave his own reasons. He was simpler. He had a gracious relationship with the Turks on the grassland. He had to help the Turks tide over their difficulties. This was due to his righteousness and the conscience he should have as a human being.
Li Kuan, on the other hand, had his mouth twitching and listened expressionlessly to the three nonsense.
Chai Shao made no secret of his contempt for these three people.
Both Li Kuan and Chai Shao knew that there was only one thing they were interested in. This deceptive business would only last for one year, at most two years. By then, the main depositor and trader Tujue would be in trouble. As long as they persisted in this
In a short amount of time, they can make a lot of money.
As for how they knew, of course it came from Du Ruhui's order for 200,000 woolen coats before next winter.
This order is telling them nakedly that the Tang Dynasty will take action against the Turks. It will be sooner next winter than the year after next.
In one year, he could earn at least a quarter of the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty. This deal would have made him money even when Confucius was alive.
As the saying goes, if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives, but if you are poor, you have no one to care about you.
Li Kuan didn't expose it and took out his plan with a smile and showed it to several people.
Yu Zhining, Kong Yingda, Liang Luoren and Chai Shao divided their points and spent half an hour reading the plan.
They didn't understand many things in it, but they saw a few profit-making models, and then they all sighed at Li Kuan.
Yu Zhining was the first to speak: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
The faint tone was full of resentment, which made Li Kuan stunned. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my plan? I remember that I referred to many of the later banks, such as the dead interest rate, which can't cover the life.
I won’t let you take it. If you want to take it, you have to sign and vomit blood and go through the process until you feel like dying.
Yu Zhining sighed and said helplessly: "Your Highness, King Chu, I don't blame you. You are too young and your work is not perfect enough."
Li Kuan's brows jumped when he heard this.
Kong Yingda, Liang Luoren, and Chai Shao nodded wildly. Yes, this King of Chu is too young and is not sure about some things. They need to check.
Kong Yingda pointed to the deposit level on the plan, frowned and said: "King Chu, what you wrote is too conservative."
"If you deposit goods worth 10,000 guan like this, you can enjoy a 20% discount on tea at the teahouse. Why can't you just write free tea?"
Li Kuan's brows twitched wildly, he looked at Kong Yingda like he was a fool, and blurted out: "I'm afraid they will bring people to close down the teahouse."
Kong Yingda looked at Li Kuan with disdain and said disdainfully: "Is there a teahouse on the grassland?"
"They can come to Shuofang to drink." Li Kuan quickly retorted.
Kong Yingda ignored Li Kuan, while Chai Shao sneered at the side and said disdainfully: "Shuofang is an important town, and the Turks are not allowed to enter."
Hiss, Li Kuan took a breath, this is naked false propaganda.
"Aren't you afraid of falsely promoting the defendant?"
Li Kuan's head turned around. He already knew what these scoundrels were going to do. They wanted to combine their power with bank benefits to create a bunch of things that looked cool but would never be enjoyed.
Welfare to attract Turks to deposit.
I hope you will not be sued in the future.
