Xiaochuan promises that the story will become more and more exciting!
————————————————————————————————

At nightfall, Liu Ruyi ran all the way and arrived in front of Prince De's Mansion in Jinan City.
"General, general, why are you here?" The guard at the door saw Liu Ruyi and hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Since Liu Ruyi was named General Zhendong and Chief Military Officer of Shandong, these guards of Prince De's Mansion also feel that they are more dignified!
After all, the world-famous General Liu is the ‘son-in-law’ of Prince De’s Palace!
Of course, the most important thing is that when Liu Ruyi made a big fuss in Prince De's Mansion, these guards were able to see his methods!
"Go, report to the prince that I have something urgent to ask for!" Liu Ruyi waved her hand to the guard and casually rewarded him with a few taels of silver!
"Yes! General! Don't wait here! I will go in immediately and report!" The guard nodded and bowed, and hurriedly ran towards Prince De's palace.
Watching the guard go away, Liu Ruyi took a long breath of relief, but fell into deep thought!
In fact, as the direct descendants of the saint, the Qufu Kong family does have enough capital!
Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu proposed to "depose hundreds of schools of thought and respect only Confucianism", saints have been completely promoted to the altar!
And his direct descendants have almost become a being that is parallel to the imperial power, or even above it!
The so-called "Yan Sheng Gong" is not just a title, it has gradually become a belief!
It is a holy place in the hearts of scholars all over the world!
Since the Western Han Dynasty, almost every dynasty has treated the Confucius family extremely favorably!
This generation of 'Yanshenggong' is famous as Kong Yanzhi. In the first year of Tianqi, he succeeded Yanshenggong. In the seventh year of Tianqi, he was awarded the title of 'Prince Taibao'. In the third year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to 'Prince Taifu!'
In fact, the Kong family has become the largest landowner in Shandong. Most of the land in Qufu, Jining, and even the entire Yanzhou Prefecture is under their control!
And if Liu Ruyi wants to explore Shandong, the Kong family is already facing an unavoidable obstacle!
But Liu Ruyi is not a fool. According to the strength and influence of the Kong family, it is definitely extremely irrational to be tough and you must take the opposite direction!
In Prince De's palace, Prince De Zhu Youshu was lying on a warm soft couch listening to a play.
The opera singer is a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he is young, his voice is extremely moving. He already has quite a bit of skill when he comes to "Mu Guiying takes command".
King De tapped his fingers gently, already faintly about to fall asleep!
In fact, after being forced to cooperate with Liu Ruyi, life in Prince De's Mansion became quieter and more comfortable than before. After all, Liu Ruyi's Great China Development Bank paid interest on time.
, the monthly interest and dividends from Prince De’s Mansion alone amount to more than 30,000 taels!
Although most of the land under the name of the German King Zhu Youshu has been "snatched" by Liu Ruyi, this stable "salary" makes Zhu Youshu feel at ease, and by the way, his attitude towards Liu Ruyi is also
Gradually change!
After all, no one can have trouble with money!
Facing Liu Ruyi, the God of Wealth, Zhu Youshu now has to show his smile and treat him with courtesy.
Just when Zhu Youshu was about to accompany Duke Zhou in a daze, the shouts of the guards interrupted his thoughts. Zhu Youshu was about to get angry, but he heard the guard excitedly saying: "My lord, my aunt, my aunt is here! Now!"
Waiting outside the door!"
"who?"
"Your Majesty, yes, it's my uncle, General Liu!" the guard said quickly.
With a whoosh, Zhu Youshu quickly climbed up from the soft couch. This movement was three points faster than a trampoline athlete!
"You bastard! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Hurry, hurry up and invite me! No, I have to go and greet you in person!" Zhu Youshu hurriedly dismissed the troupe aside, hurriedly put on a coat, and rushed towards the gate.
"As if you have met the prince!" Seeing Zhu Youshu coming to greet him in person, Liu Ruyi hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Although there were many unpleasantnesses in the past, they have all passed after all, and now, Zhu Youshu is more in love with Liu Ruyi than his own son!
"Ruyi, you, why are you here at this time? Hey! Why didn't you tell me in advance! I, I should have sent someone to meet you in advance! Come on, come into the house quickly to warm yourself up! Old Song,
Hurry, go to the kitchen and prepare a table of good food and wine!" Zhu Youshu took Liu Ruyi's arm affectionately, with a smile on his fat round face, and ordered the butler next to him.
The housekeeper left in a hurry, and Liu Ruyi was not polite and followed King De to an exquisite warm pavilion in the palace!
The guests and hosts sat down, and the maid served tea. Before Liu Ruyi could speak, Zhu Youshu said eagerly: "Ruyi! I have been thinking about something recently! You said that if I were an orphan, I would give away all the land under my name."
The Great China Development Bank gave you, Ruyi, how much money can you give to Guzai? And ah! Ruyi, we are relatives after all, with Qingxu’s face here, this, this benefit, will you give Guzai
Go up a little!"
Liu Ruyi was startled when he heard this!
Unexpectedly! Although King De seems to be dull and incompetent, his brain is not too slow!
According to the current situation, King De's assets are approximately 1.15 million taels in cash, which are deposited in the Great China Development Bank, and the benefit Liu Ruyi gave him is one and a half thousandths. This means that
Now, King De doesn't have to do anything. He can earn nearly 30,000 taels of silver every month, and nearly 400,000 taels of silver in a year!
Compared with the past, the thousands of hectares of land owned by King De were only able to receive rents of hundreds of thousands taels a year, which was several times higher. King De couldn't help but be tempted!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile when she thought of this, "Your Majesty, when did your brain become so clever? This is not possible! If all the benefits are given to you, then my nephew's business will be impossible.
Did you do it?”
"Hey! Ruyi, you are not being honest! You are hiding from your father-in-law and me!" King De couldn't help being very dissatisfied. He grabbed Liu Ruyi's hand, but his eyes were full of laughter.
With a sly smile, "Hey! Ruyi, Gu Ye has made people inquire about it! Your Great China Development Bank must at least have this amount in cash now!"
After King De said this, he stretched out a finger in a lewd way.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but secretly curse, 'This old guy is very well-informed!'
In fact, since Liu Ruyi returned to Jinan City, in less than twenty days, the business of Great China Development Bank has skyrocketed. In almost a few days, the business volume has more than doubled.
Hua Xia Development Bank has nearly 10 million taels in cash and banknotes alone!
This is also Liu Ruyi’s greatest confidence in rebuilding Linqing City!
But what followed was high interest, and Liu Ruyi had to step up her efforts to expand business channels!
This is actually like running a business in later generations. If you want to develop and grow rapidly, private financing is undoubtedly the best choice!
And with Liu Ruyi's current strength, naturally he won't be afraid of being killed suddenly like he would in later generations!
And with this large sum of money, the maritime trade that Liu Ruyi valued most was put on the agenda!
You know, it is the early seventeenth century, the golden age of maritime trade!
In this day and age, there is almost no need for any strategy!
As long as there are ships, people, and strong military support, it will definitely be an era of great wealth!
Chinese silk, tea, porcelain, Japanese Japanese silverware and ironware, spices and minerals from Southeast Asia, gold and ivory from Africa, gems from Ceylon, jade from Myanmar, rare minerals from India, and even the newly emerging slave trade
, almost every one of them can be called the most profitable emerging industry in the world!
Liu Ruyi already had an accurate outline in his mind, which was to model the "East India Company" of later Holland to establish a large-scale joint-stock company dominated by Chinese people, with Liu Ruyi as the main investor, and wealthy businessmen from all walks of life in Shandong participating in financing.
Ocean Trading Company!
Integrate wealthy businessmen from all walks of life in Shandong and let their interests be firmly tied to yours!
‘Wealth and silk touch people’s hearts’!
As long as there is money to clear the way, everyone will benefit!
At that time, no matter what the court means, even if Liu Ruyi doesn't take action himself, there will be countless "little brothers" who will take over one after another!
Even if King De can persuade the Kong family to join them, they will be almost the first behemoth in China. Even the Zhu Ming royal family cannot compare with it!
Liu Ruyi took a deep breath of air-conditioning and tried to calm down her mind. After all, although the idea is huge, if it is really to be implemented, it needs to be done step by step and steadily!
"My lord, you, you are really wronging my nephew by saying this! It's not like you don't know! The interest my nephew gives to others is only one cent, but you have already got one cent and five cents. My nephew is basically
They are all giving you money! This, this..." Liu Ruyi was originally a businessman in later generations, so this kind of rhetoric is easy to grasp!
Seeing Liu Ruyi's tangled look, King De thought he had pushed too hard, and said quickly: "Hey! Ruyi, Gu, Gu is just what I say! Haha! You are Gu's son-in-law, won't Gu support you?
Who supports you? Right? Don’t worry! Gu is not a ungrateful person! Just go about your business with peace of mind! If anyone dares to cause trouble for you! Just tell Gu directly! Gu won’t believe it!
If the two of us join forces, there will still be people who dare to make trouble with us!"
After King De finished speaking, he patted his fat chest domineeringly!
Facing Liu Ruyi, the 'God of Wealth', King De seemed to have found his 'second spring', his whole spirit and energy were completely different!
Liu Ruyi was amused in her heart, but she didn't show it, so why did she say: "Your Majesty, if it comes to this, my nephew, my nephew is really in some trouble! Maybe, you really have to take action in person.
!”
"Well?" King De frowned, causing Liu Ruyi's familiar cruelty to appear on his face again, "Ruyi, just say what you have to say! I want to see who has such a big one.
