Zhao Yun was silent for a long time after hearing this. He thought Li Tiao knew the true meaning of this thing, but it turned out that he was just talking about the ridiculous price on Taishan North Street.
"However, it shouldn't be. Can't you afford the price of several million?" Zhao Yun looked at Li Tiao strangely and asked, "I remember that when I was canonized for you, you also had hundreds of households.
, and the princes are all involved in certain industries, and with Zichuan helping to control them, it won’t be a big deal.”
These days, the princes still have food and towns, but Chen Xi has implemented escrow for the food and towns of those princes who are unwilling to go abroad. That is to say, all of your hundreds of households will be converted into income for you and distributed to you.
The state takes care of things for you. In fact, it was almost the same in the late Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
It's just that Chen Xi's money is slightly more than the food. Most of the princes don't care about this income. After all, they all have other things to spend on. Even a guy like Li Tiao who has no ambitions can't afford it.
It will be controlled by Chen Xi, who will invest part of the profits and funds into suitable industries for development, and then receive some dividends and the like.
Theoretically speaking, if you reach the level of Liehou, it is impossible for you to not be able to afford the things that are commonly sold. After all, you are one of the more than 200 people standing at the top of the country. If even they can't afford it,
, then there may be something seriously wrong with this country.
"My dividends and the annual income from the princes have been distributed to the heirs of the Yellow Turban brothers. In these years of war, it is inevitable that there will be orphans and widowed mothers. In addition, some people were brought to the battlefield by me. Although the war
There are pensions and state care for those who die on the battlefield, but I feel a little bit regretful about it, plus some old brothers passed away and left behind some children..." Li Tiao said expressionlessly.
Being able to adopt a son to Guan Hai and change his surname to Guan, one can imagine Li Tiao's character in certain matters. The support of the state is the support of the state. Although Chen Xi is reliable and will not let these children who lost their father in childhood suffer from hunger and cold, but
The pensions and supplies given out were only enough for food. It was really difficult to practice martial arts, so Li Tiao paid for the subsidies himself.
Of course, Li Tiao did not subsidize randomly. The people he helped were his old brothers and the families of the soldiers he took to the battlefield but did not bring back. Moreover, he did not give money directly, but let the heirs of those families
He came from home to practice martial arts and study, and then he took care of the food.
The problem lies in martial arts training. It is very important to lay the foundation for a young man to take care of food. Especially for high-intensity martial arts training, meat is almost a necessity.
It would be fine if there were only a few children, but Li Tiao has been on the battlefield for more than twenty years. From the descendants of his old brothers who can be found in the Yellow Turban era to the descendants of his brothers who died on the battlefield in the past ten years, Li Tiao helps whenever he can.
, although this guy still has some self-awareness and will not make himself very embarrassed, but Li Tiao is really doing this to the limit of his own ability.
The House of Liehou can indeed be called luxurious, but it also depends on how it is played. Li Tiao's family is not the kind of family that has been in business for hundreds of years, has both black and white, and has its own connections and business connections. He is just a new rich.
If we continue to support it like this, we will be able to survive.
Of course, Li Tiao's wife also had a good attitude. She knew what was going on with Li Tiao and was friends with Li Tiao when they were poor and lowly, so she could accept Li Tiao's nonsense. Otherwise, a noble family would not be able to afford millions of dollars to marry the head of the house and his wife.
How can he still smile every day like Li Tiao's wife if she is so angry?
"Hey." Zhao Yun opened the document bag, pulled out a few documents and handed them to Li Tiao, "I have nothing to support you. These North Street land deeds can be regarded as supporting your career."
Zhao Yun is not short of money, and if you really want to say it, Zhao Yun's own financial resources are enough to compete with the five wealthy businessmen. If you include those assets that cannot be used, or are difficult to use, Zhao Yun's financial resources are basically the best among Chen Xi's
That kind of.
No way, the investment was good back then, what about Taishan North Street, what about heaven and earth energy crops, what about top shipbuilding, what about diamonds, etc., these are all huge profit businesses, but some of them were too profitable, causing Zhao Yun's shares to be forcibly reduced by the state
to less than 1%.
The problem is that in some industries, the biggest problem is whether you have it or not. For example, Donglai Shipyard is the largest and most advanced shipyard in the world that is said to be fully state-owned. But in fact, Zhao Yun has shares, and it is two-part shares.
.
One part is the industry-wide shares that come with the land deed that connects to the state's shares, and the other part is the income from Zhao Yun's investment that year. After all, even if Chen Xi goes too far, he will not let Zhao Yunqing go. Ordinary trash fish let the other party take a large sum of money.
If there is no way to refute Qian Qian, just leave. But Zhao Yun is different. Even Chen Xi of Zhao Yun's level needs to give face.
Li Tiao took the land deeds with a complicated expression, sighed, but did not refuse. He knew that Zhao Yun actually meant well, although Zhao Yun misunderstood what he meant, "Thank you, General Zhao."
"If General Zhao doesn't believe it, some of the houses on Taishan North Street were built by me." Li Tiao said with some regret after receiving the land deed.
"Huh?" Zhao Yun walked out and looked at Li Tiao in disbelief. Shouldn't you have been in Qingzhou at that time? By the time you came to Taishan, Taishan North Street had been repaired and sold out.
"When Taishan was doing work-for-relief, there were so many people, do you really think you are from Taishan?" Li Tiao sighed and said with some nostalgia, "At first, Boss Guan received the news that there was food in Taishan, and at that time,
It’s autumn and we are planning to go to Mount Tai to grab grain. Considering that there are many people and we are easily exposed, not many people will go, but they are all leaders of various ministries.”
At the beginning, the idea of Li Tiao and others was to kill the dog officer, kill Liu Xuande and Chen Zichuan, and steal the food from Mount Tai so that the Yellow Turban brothers could have a good year.
As a result, the brother who went to step on the plate said that Taishan was really working to provide food. This group of people didn't believe that the court would do this, so they went together and found that Chen Xi was really making a living, exchanging the white bars for steamed buns and adding pickles.
Especially pickles, which are invincible for people who work hard. Salt is a very important material, but who told Zhang Shiping and the others to have already produced sea salt at that time, while Chen Xi could not produce heavy oil or heavy salt?
Therefore, the Yellow Turban brothers who had worked hard for several days felt better because they were able to eat enough and had electrolyte replenishment. The original ill will towards Mount Tai was greatly reduced because of the daily wages.
In addition, Chen Xi had unlimited income at that time. Xuzhou Tao Qian's grain was transported to Mount Tai like crazy. Chen Xi was just a guarantee at first. Later, when Zhang Shiping and his two men shipped salt, Chen Xi directly exchanged hard currency for hard currency. At that time, the world had not yet
Complete chaos broke out. Xuzhou, as a grain-producing area, had not experienced plague, had sufficient food, and had strong savings. Chen Xi was willing to settle the bill with salt, and Tao Qian did not care about selling grain to his allies.
For a whole winter, the Yellow Turbans survived by working for Chen Xi. This was why Guan Hai and the others decided to "attack" Mount Tai in the spring of the next year. It was also the reason why Guan Hai was willing to die.
To put it bluntly, after working for half a year, I realized that Liu Bei and Chen Xi were really reliable and would not cheat their brothers. If I died, others would really have food to eat. Guan Hai should just die if he wanted to. Last autumn, he
After working under Liu Bei for so long in winter, I realized that this person was indeed reliable.
Without these foundations, Guan Hai would never give up the struggle. After all, if he dies without knowing anything, what will his brothers do in the future? That is a big problem.
It was precisely because he knew in his heart that Taishan kept what he said, so Guan Hai was willing to die. Anyway, he would die, but his brothers would survive even if he died. He struggled in his heart, but in fact, when Liao Hua and others went to tell him,
Guan Hai had already considered it before.
"This is also the reason why I can make a living and build houses when I arrive in Taishan. When I built North Street in Taishan, if I hadn't kept a low profile, I would definitely be the foreman." Li Tiao said with some confidence, this is
To be honest, Li Tiao has been engaged in construction since he arrived in Taishan, and his craftsmanship was learned from Li Tiao in the autumn and winter when Chen Xi worked for relief.
Otherwise, there is a reason why an ordinary old farmer who participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion and who has never lived in a house in his life suddenly became engaged in construction.
Zhao Yun recalled it, and it seemed that there were indeed many arrogant people working on the construction site at that time, but he reported it to Chen Xi. Chen Xi didn't care at all, and asked those people if they were doing a good job. As long as they were working, they would treat it like nothing.
I don’t know, the Taishan people and Taishan thieves are all locals and they just need to work hard. It doesn’t matter where they come from or what occupation they are engaged in. They are all workers now.
"When I was being led by the foreman to build a house in Taishan, when the house was being built, I thought about whether I could have one for me. I also asked about the price, and the foreman said it was about 20,000 yuan per set.
, I was thinking about saving money..." As Li Tiao spoke, his expression became very unhappy.
Looking at the houses he built, of course he wanted to own one of them, and 20,000 yuan was really cheap. At that time, Li Tiao even planned to work hard for two years and save two years to buy the house.
One set, and I will bring my wife and children over when the time comes.
As a result, when Chen Xiping finished Qingzhou and Li Tiao came back again, the housing prices gave Li Tiao such a hammer that Li Tiao's eyes were filled with stars. Not to mention that Li Tiao carefully selected the one he found when he was building it.
A house facing north and in an excellent location, as well as other houses built by him, all cost more than hundreds of thousands of yuan at that time.
However, although a hundred thousand yuan is a lot, Li Tiao was not a vegetarian. He decided to save money for ten years and then buy a set for his son to pass on to his family, but it was gone later.
Just look at the guys like Xuezhou and Zhangdu who used to live in Taishan and finally moved to Laoshubao. Buy a house? Buy a hammer. Isn’t it good for me to move to another place? I have to buy it in Taishan.
?Move, must move.
Li Tiao finally bought a house in Taishan because he served as a soldier and became a captain of thousands. He bought a low-priced house there with rewards. Of course, he quickly skyrocketed, and he became a general, a general, a general, and a prince. If he didn't have to support a group of people,
The descendants of his brothers practice martial arts, let alone Mount Tai. Even if Li Tiao takes him to Chang'an, there will be no problem.
"The more I save, the more expensive it becomes. The rate at which I make money cannot keep up with the growth rate of housing prices in Taishan." Li Tiao recalled the situation he faced back then, which was quite unbelievable. He had become a gang by practicing qi, and he had strength and skills. As a result,
I was severely punished by Taishan’s housing prices.
"You are not suitable for those things." Zhao Yun sighed and said, "If you had not retired back then and directly enlisted in the army, you might have become the Marquis of Guannei by the time you were in Yuan Fengnian."
Although Li Tiao caught up with the battle between Yuan and Liu, and also caught up with the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, at that time Li Tiao was not even a commander of a thousand men, and could only be regarded as a temporary substitute, and could not give full play to Li Tiao's commanding advantage.
Tiao is a supporting general. In the Battle of Yuan and Liu and the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, especially when Northern Xinjiang destroyed the Xiongnu, it was not a big problem to capture the Marquis of Guannei.
"Although some trust was established back then, it is still very different from now. All that trust was accumulated by giving out steamed buns with daily wages that winter." Li Tiao sighed and said, he had some doubts at the time.
, and also because of many years of fighting and some psychological problems, it is impossible to be unreserved like now.
"That's right, let's go. Let's see if that uncle can help us solve it. Speaking of which, after you became a prince, you didn't seem to go to Weiyang Palace to meet the princess?" Zhao Yun put away his briefcase and walked outside, walking as he did.
, while saying to Li Tiao.
"I'm a rough guy, and I'm not used to these etiquettes. If I go to the big court to meet, I have to be taught etiquette, so I just wrote an official document to submit a petition, and Her Royal Highness the Princess gave me a reply." Li Tiao didn't hide it, as long as he and the
Zhao Yun has no conflict of beliefs, and they can still get along very well.
Liu Tong actually doesn't like the princes to come to see him. In Liu Tong's words, it is best for all the princes to follow the Yong family and only participate in the new emperor's enthronement and the death of the previous emperor. At other times, they only need to remember to send the gold.
Yes, if you don't want to show up at other times, don't show up. It's good for you and me.
Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this, and then warned, "Princess doesn't care about this, but if possible, it is best to come to Yuanfeng's tenth year. There will be many people there. After you sign in, you can do whatever you want."
Just find a place to sit, and no one will pay attention, but there will be many important things to explain in the ten-year court meeting, and I estimate that this matter will come to an end in Yuanfeng's ten-year court meeting."
As he spoke, Zhao Yun shook the briefcase in his hand. He had a feeling that it was not that Chen Xi didn't know, but that Chen Xi knew, but Chen Xi was just waiting for someone to come forward.
"Is this so?" Li Tiao did not understand what Zhao Yun meant, but Li Tiao understood that if Ganghe continued like this, Yuanfeng would definitely have a big defeat in ten years, and there would be a court meeting by then!
