Chapter 559 A new round of wealth accumulation plan [the eighth consecutive
Is Li Yuanxing poor?
King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was the poorest nobleman in the Tang Dynasty, and his personal assets were negative. Not to mention the twenty-three-year fine, the gambling debt owed by playing mahjong alone was nearly 5,000 guan. This money was converted into food
Load it into a carriage and take it to the Chamber of Commerce Street.
However, the Prince of Qin's palace is not poor. It is not an exaggeration to say that the wealth can rival the country.
When King Qin cried out about poverty this time, he was saying that the money in the Qin Palace was not enough, not about his own money.
Just when everyone was thinking about the reason why the King of Qin cried for poverty and the strategic goal of the King of Qin.
Wei Zheng ignored his tea bowl and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, are the pearls you gave to Western Turks grown?"
"If you don't want to plant it, you should let me go into the sea and fish it myself." Li Yuanxing laughed and scolded.
Sown, that pearl is sown!
There was a loud roar, and everyone except Li Yuanxing was in a hurry. More than a dozen tea bowls were knocked over. Peanuts and walnuts were scattered all over the floor. I don’t know who pressed on the table, but it almost knocked it over.
Already.
Li Yuanxing held up his tea bowl with one hand and two walnuts in the other. After everyone calmed down, he slowly placed the tea bowl on the table.
"It's true that wealth is so touching." Li Yuanxing said with emotion: "Come here, prepare some food to go with the wine. I will bring you a tea set first, taste the tea, and calm down!"
"Your Highness! Are those pearls grown?" Wei Zheng asked again.
"Calm down, Wei Changshi, where did your usual calmness go? It's just a little bit of pearls. Lao Sun has studied it. He said that pearls are salty, sweet, cold and non-toxic, soothing and refreshing; pearls coat the face and make people moisturized.
Good color. Apply to hands and feet to remove skin rashes; remove phlegm, remove facial spots, stop diarrhea; remove convulsions and fever in children, soothe the soul; stop spermatorrhea and white turbidity, detoxify acne and treat poison...make the luster white."
Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette and spoke slowly.
On purpose, this is intentional.
Is Wei Zheng a good person? To be precise, Wei Zheng is a very moral person with a black heart and a black face. Cui Dunli always believed that Bao Heizi mentioned in the Le Min Yuan commentary was based on Wei Zheng.
Where is the book?
Wei Zheng's expression also became very calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, if you give the pearls like those to the Western Turks, if you give them another ten cents, the entire cost of the expedition to Goguryeo next year will be paid. In other words, the straight road to Luoyang!
"
"Luoyang Straight Road is not enough, at least twenty boxes are needed!" Cui Junsu responded from the side.
"It's a pity that I can't grow such a pearl. It can only be grown in a specific place, in a specific season, and requires very experienced pearl farmers. There is a chance of one pearl out of 10,000." After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, no one felt anything.
I'm disappointed, it's really weird that something like that can be grown.
Li Yuanxing pulled out two boxes from under the table, looked at them and pushed one of them back. Then he took out another small box from the remaining boxes and kicked that box back under the table.
Already prepared.
Everyone's reaction was completely the same. His Highness King Qin had already made preparations. When they came to General Tiance's Mansion, they were all within His Highness King Qin's calculations.
Li Yuanxing opened the box, and inside there were dozens of white pearls, ranging in size from 0.3 to 0.7 centimeters in diameter, arranged very neatly in the wooden box.
"Well, there are several places in Datang that are very, very suitable for planting!"
"Your Highness, how is the output?" Cui Dunli asked on behalf of everyone. Because no one knows who this business will be given to.
Li Yuanxing picked up a pearl and said: "If I were to grow this, if it was less than three million jins a year, I would be too lazy to do it. However, I don't like it because it is too labor-intensive and there is no way to mass-produce it."
.”
Again, there is no way to mass-produce it.
The term mass production is no longer unfamiliar to the upper class of Datang, which means that there is no way to use machines for large-scale production. Only when its production capacity is at least a level of 10,000 kilograms per day can it be qualified to be called mass production.
"Cui Shangshu!" Li Yuanxing shouted, and everyone became nervous. Cui Junsu was also nervous, but when he thought about it, it was wrong. It was impossible for Li Yuanxing to hand over this business to the Cui family of Qinghe, not to mention that the Cui family of Qinghe had already taken it.
How many industries are there? Just say that the industries that have been occupied have not been fully digested, so pearls are impossible.
"Cui Shangshu, let's settle the accounts with the Xiao family and the Zhu family."
The Zhu family represents the southeastern aristocratic family, and the Xiao family represents the Jiangsu and Zhejiang aristocratic families. When the two family heads heard this, they immediately stood up, almost at the same time: "Your Highness, we can't afford such a huge profit!"
"You have to eat even if you can't eat it. Eight hundred thousand kilograms of pearls a year must be transported to Chang'an and sold to me in the Western Regions. If you dare to come to my Qin Prince's house to ask for business, you must have enough appetite and courage. If you want to be with the market,
Just like ordinary people, you come here to ask for a small business of roasting chestnuts and making hundreds of dollars a year, and you are not afraid of the jokes of other aristocratic families!"
Li Yuanxing's tone became stern.
The two heads of the family quickly bowed down and said, "We are stupid and should do our best!"
Li Yuanxing took out another box, and when he opened it, he found an even more exquisite pearl.
"This can only be planted in the sea on the Lingnan side. Cui Changshi, please plan it. How to tell the Feng family, how to divide the profits, and how much must be transported to Chang'an for me, there must be a plan. There must be a plan on the Hangzhou and Quanzhou sides.
Although the bay is okay, the quality is only 70% to 80% of that in Lingnan. If you want to plant it, you can do it!"
"Your Highness, why don't we, the Jiangjian family, grow sea pearls and the Southeast family grow lake pearls? What do you think, Your Highness?"
"The four major lakes can all produce good pearls. I want you to compete. Only competition can advance your skills. I ask for eight hundred thousand catties. You can only give more but not less. But who's better? I
I want more. For those with poor quality, I will naturally lower the price. For even worse ones, I will grind them into powder and use them as medicine, so the price will be even lower!"
Li Yuanxing settled the matter in a few words.
How to divide and how to calculate.
Cui Junsu, the public household minister, and Shi Cui Dunli, the chief minister of the Prince of Qin, decided to consider the details.
The tea has been served. Wang Jishan sat on the main seat and started making tea. The low-level maids were not even qualified to enter. Even Lan Qiu and other April did not dare to stay here and listen too much. After serving the tea, they all retreated outside the door.
.
"No one came from Bashu?" Li Yuanxing suddenly asked.
"There is someone from Bashu, but his status is too low. He didn't even dare to enter. After he confessed his crime, he went back and asked the head of the family to come over in person. I think he may be here soon." Cui Dunli explained.
In fact, the status of the person who came was not low, and he was also the eldest son.
But the person sitting here is at least the level of the head of the family. The nobles in Bashu are originally second- and third-rate nobles. Not to mention the aristocratic families like Cui, Wang, and Lu, they are one level behind the aristocratic families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang such as Xiao, Zhu, and Lu.
Naturally, the eldest son would not dare to enter the house at all.
"Okay, let's talk about other things first." Li Yuanxing picked up a cup of tea and held it in both hands: "Thank you for the tea!" He gave Wang Jishan a gift. At this time, everyone acted in unison and actually took out a small book, obviously preparing to record it.
.
"The Cui family took the lead and gave up 70% of the cotton business to the Daibei family. Your manpower is already insufficient. The Daibei family will also have to contribute to the next matter. As for the cotton business,
Li, please consider making up for the financial and manpower provided by several companies in Shandong."
Cui Junsu looked at Cui Dunli and then at Wang Jishan.
He is not afraid of losing this benefit, but he just doesn't understand what will happen.
"Your Highness, if you can, please explain your next plan. We and other families can cooperate with Your Highness!" Cui Dunli said on behalf of everyone.
"Actually, it's very simple. The southeast side is relatively stable. Their only mission is to make money."
Everyone nodded, this statement was extremely straightforward.
"There are many generals in Daibei. It can be said that all the generals in the Daibei family add up to more than 70% of the other families in the Tang Dynasty. There must be some wars in the Western Turks in the past two years. Another advantage of the Daibei family is that they have close contact with the grassland.
Relations between all ethnic groups are good. Using the Daibei family, Datang can get at least 100,000 mercenaries from the grasslands and destroy Gaochang within three years."
Li Yuanxing's tone changed, and it was no longer the playful look.
Having said this, Li Yuanxing stood up: "I once promised Feng An that he would do a good job. I promised him a king with a different surname. I can also give this promise to any family. I will destroy Gaochang within three years and completely annex Yiwu. I will give him this promise."
The king has the title of three county kings. Although the title of these county kings is not as majestic as my name as the king of Qin, the king is still the king."
This is no longer a joke, even if Li Yuanxing's last words were a joke.
But overall, Li Yuanxing's idea of becoming a king is not a joke.
"Report, the leader of the Liu clan in Sichuan is requesting an audience!"
"Xuan!" Cui Dunli shouted to the door.
The Liu family in Sichuan is said to be a descendant of the Han royal family, but it has really declined in recent years. Especially during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Southern Dynasties suppressed the family, which made them even worse.
After the head of the Liu clan entered the door, he knelt down.
"Get up, the royal family of the Han Dynasty, don't kneel down easily. Back then, Marquis Zhuge Wu attacked the Southern Barbarians and stabilized the southwest. Now you, the Liu family, are the leader, and the Bashu family has done its part for our Tang Dynasty. I will protect you as a first-class family.
Bit."
"Please give me your orders, Your Highness!"
"Each aristocratic family will train the children of the tribe. I will order the elites. I will order the training of 100,000 troops in the Bashu states. Each of your aristocratic families will also train 50,000 troops, and then train 30,000 elites from the ethnic minorities. In three years, I will ask you to charge.
Go ahead and open up and expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty for me, and make an unparalleled contribution!"
The head of the Liu family in Sichuan was lying tightly on the ground. He did not dare to answer the question. Training as a private soldier was a serious crime of genocide.
"Please feel free to carry out His Highness the King of Qin's instructions. Not to mention your 30,000 people, even the 300,000 His Highness will not pay attention to it. Let your nephews and nephews stay in Chang'an. When His Highness goes on an expedition to Goguryeo in April next year, you will
I know that your mere 30,000 people are only allocated to Your Highness as a vanguard to build bridges and pave roads!"
Wei Zheng's tone was extremely harsh, and the Liu family in Sichuan had no choice but to respond loudly: "I, the Liu family in Sichuan, are willing to die for the Tang Dynasty!"
"Get up, sit down!" (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
