Chapter 238 Cooperate with each other
Chapter 238
Wei Hao was sitting there at the moment, looking at the three of them, this was about to start.
"Don't bother me, I don't want to make money now, I have money, and I'm not short of money!" Wei Hao sat there, waved his hand and said, leaning there and not wanting to move.
"It's not that you don't have a brother-in-law, who still dislikes having a lot of money?" Li Ke was stunned by Wei Hao's words.
"I'm busy right now, do you know how much more to do this year? Still making money? My mansion has not been built, and I still have to manage the affairs of the study building and the school.
I don't have time to make this little money, besides, I don't lack money now, there are tens of thousands of acres of land at home, just my father manages it alone, he is busy coming, by the way, when it comes to farming, I still have to plant cotton this year, this is also a serious matter, those money things, don't come to bother me! Wei Hao sat there and continued to wave his hand and said,
The two of them looked at Wei Hao.
"Well, there are indeed a lot of things, my father still has to find him to do things if he can't do it, wait until he is done with this while!" Li Chengqian sat there and helped Wei Hao speak.
"Then you lend me money, I know that there are tens of thousands of dollars in the East Palace, if you don't borrow it, I will talk to my father and the emperor!" Li Tai stared at Li Chengqian and said.
"You!" Li Chengqian is so angry, he just got some money back, they knew it, and they dared to threaten themselves, the key is that this threat is very powerful, if this money is known by Li Shimin, it is very likely that it will be withdrawn.
"Big brother, lend me some too, I don't want more, just 5,000 yuan!" Li Ke also looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said.
"You, you!" Li Chengqian is very depressed, 5,000 yuan is not much?
"I also have 5,000 yuan, if it's okay, I won't say it!" Li Tai also looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said,
Li Chengqian thought in his heart at the moment, after going back, he must find out who leaked the news, how long has it been, he hasn't spent this money like this, he has been worried about it, and he wants so much money, he definitely can't give it!
Wei Hao leaned there, pretending to be napping, thinking in his heart, it was not a good stubble, but Li Tai's change made Wei Hao a little surprised, now Li Tai seems to be a little more active than before, he was a stuffy gourd before, he didn't talk much, and now he actually dared to threaten Li Chengqian, and he dared to play a scoundrel, this was something Wei Hao didn't expect.
Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao at this moment, and found that Wei Hao was napping, so he immediately said to the two of them: "Lone has no money, besides, there is a rich man here, you don't ask him to borrow, but you still ask Lone to borrow money?" ”
When the two of them heard it, they looked at Wei Hao.
"Damn, what do you mean? You have to expose your old bottom, do you? When Wei Hao heard this, this was to burn the fire on himself, could he bear it?
"Brother-in-law, that's not what I meant." Li Chengqian immediately bowed his hand to Wei Hao, and kept giving him a look.
"You really don't want to come to me to talk about this, I'm really not free, I'll talk about it when I'm free, as for you to borrow money, well, then I can't control it, you ask Lizhen, now my money, either on Lizhi's side, or on my father's side, I here, I don't have money at all!" Wei Hao looked at the two of them and said, while the two of them turned their heads to look at Li Chengqian.
"Lonely, really, don't listen to people's nonsense!" Li Chengqian also looked at the two of them and shouted, thinking that today was the two of them, at noon, they went to the East Palace, saying that they were bored, go to Wei Hao's mansion to sit down, and go as soon as they want, anyway, there is nothing to do. I thought that the two of them actually calculated themselves.
"I'll go tell my father to go!" Li Tai sat there and said very relaxedly.
"You dare!" Li Chengqian stared at Li Tai fiercely and said.
"What don't I dare, I don't have any money anyway!" Li Tai stretched out his hands and threatened Li Chengqian and said, Li Chengqian couldn't wait to clean him up at the moment, it was too annoying.
"Big brother, the younger brother is really poor, you also know that the roads are very difficult to walk over there in Bashu, if you don't bring money to go, the younger brother can't do anything there, and ask the eldest brother to help, if you ask my father, my father will probably scold me again." Li Ke immediately said to Li Chengqian, and there was also a threat in his words.
"Oops, it's really not lonely!" Li Chengqian sighed and said, this matter is resolutely not admitted, and they cannot be allowed to succeed, otherwise, the money they will earn in the future is estimated to be unkept, and it is not enough for them to threaten.
Li Chengqian couldn't help the two of them, so he looked at Wei Hao as if asking for help, hoping that Wei Hao could help.
Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian helplessly, thinking to himself, what are you doing with the matter between your brothers.
"You don't think that you borrowed Wei Hao's money alone, and you think it was money earned by Lonely, right?" Li Chengqian then pretended to think of this suddenly, and asked,
When Wei Hao heard this, he stared at Li Chengqian fiercely, and Li Chengqian secretly glanced at Wei Hao.
"Borrow money, who can you deceive, there are at least tens of thousands of dollars in the treasury of the East Palace!" Li Tai didn't believe it at all.
"Really, you asked your brother-in-law!" Li Chengqian immediately said to Li Tai, and at the same time looked at Wei Hao with begging eyes.
"Just remember it, can you stop arguing, what kind of money do you say for the New Year? It's okay to say something else, it's really not good, it's okay to play cards, I haven't played mahjong in a while! After Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian and finished speaking, he said that he wanted to play cards with them.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he felt a lot more relieved, after all, Wei Hao had taken this matter down.
"Brother-in-law, you, why did you borrow him so much?" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao very depressed and said.
"For a penny, I borrowed 15,000 yuan from him, and in winter, I need to pay back 16,500 yuan! How much do you want? Wei Hao looked at Li Tai and asked.
"Is this so expensive?" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.
"Is this still expensive? Do you want? Don't just play cards! Wei Hao looked at Li Tai and asked.
"Me. I'd better forget it. Brother-in-law, you have to help me, I'm poor now, what good business do you have then, but you need to think of me! Li Tai looked at Wei Hao and said,
Wei Hao nodded, and then Wei Hao beckoned them to play cards,
In the evening, it was to dine at Wei Hao's house,
After Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, his face was all pale, who leaked the money in his East Palace, this must be clear, Li Chengqian suspects that his East Palace may have been arranged by Li Tai and them, otherwise, in the future, the East Palace will not be safe, and he will not be able to hide anything.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Su Mei saw Li Chengqian's face and immediately asked.
"Check it out for Lone, during this time, who knows how much money we have in the treasury, and recently, who has gone out, now, Qingque actually knows that we have tens of thousands of dollars in the East Palace, this matter, you check it out for Lone, even if it is suspicious, it will be expelled from the East Palace!" Li Chengqian looked at Su Mei and said.
"Ah, there is such a thing, okay, Your Highness, the concubine knows!" When Su Mei heard this, she was also a little surprised, and then looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, how did you get this money?" ”
"You don't care how it came about, this must be earned back, not snatched back, it's just that this money can't be let the father and emperor know, once they know, they will definitely take it back to Lone, so now, it can only be like this,
In the future, in the warehouse, you find a trusted person to access, and you are not allowed to show it to superfluous people, in addition, the money in the future cannot be packed in a basket, but in a cloth bag! Li Chengqian explained to Su Mei and said.
"Yes, the concubine knows!" Su Mei nodded and said.
"They actually planted people in Dongwait, it seems that they are really a lonely miscalculation!" Where did Li Chengqian sit and said, fortunately Li Tai said this today, otherwise, he really didn't know,
After Li Tai returned to his palace, he immediately summoned a few Hu merchants.
"Are you sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to the grassland by selling things? Then why, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he borrowed it from Wei Hao? Li Tai stared at the Hu merchants and asked.
"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, it's true, there will be no fake in this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly got the goods to the grassland, but robbed us of a lot of business, those people have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, they can quickly pass through those city passes, and they can use the fastest speed to send the goods to the grassland,
Your Highness, the profit in this. But it is very high, we estimate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will have at least 20,000 yuan of profit on this trip, of course, some of it may be divided! One of the Hu merchants stood there and said respectfully.
"And what do you mean?" Li Tai still looked at them suspiciously.
"We mean. Now His Royal Highness the King of Yue, you are the assassin of many places, remote control of those places, we thought, can we also let us quickly send the goods over, in this way, we will give you 2,000 yuan per trip, okay? That Hu Shang looked at Li Tai cautiously and said.
"2,000 yuan, isn't it a little less, can't the prince be able to form a caravan to make money?" Li Tai looked at them coldly and asked.
"This, His Royal Highness King Yue, selling things to the grassland, but it requires a high cost, and the risk is also very large, but there is no guarantee that you will make money every time!" Another Hu Shang looked at Li Tai and said.
"But once it's a profit of tens of thousands of dollars, isn't that how the money from His Royal Highness the Prince's treasury comes from? Alright, go back, this king will get it himself! Li Tai waved his hand at them and said.
"Your Highness, this, otherwise, you will also join the gang, and you will get fifty percent of the profits in the future, but now you need to invest some money, at least 1,000 yuan!" One of the Hu merchants thought about it for a moment and spoke.
"Oh, 1,000 yuan is enough, how much profit can I bring back?" Li Tai heard it, smiled and asked.
"This, 1,000 yuan a trip can bring 1,000 yuan of profit, of course, the main thing is that our fleet is small, and we can't get good goods, if we can get paper and ceramics, then the profit is at least three to five times!" The merchant said to Li Tai.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll do this, but what I don't understand is, how can the prince have a profit of tens of thousands of dollars?" Li Tai still stared at them and asked.
"This, they got all good things, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince probably spent a lot of money, but, His Royal Highness King Yue, it is risky to do this, and we don't want you to take too many risks!" The Hu Shang continued to say to Li Tai.
"Paper, porcelain is no problem, this king took out 2,000 yuan to come out, you also take out so much, I will go fifty percent, if it goes well, each time I will bring more than 10,000 yuan of profit to this king!" Li Tai sat there, staring at them and said.
"This, in fact, there is a way to let Your Highness not have to pay a penny, and you can get at least more than 10,000 yuan each time, and you don't have to bear the risk!" One of the merchants said to Li Tai with a smile.
"What's the solution?" When Li Tai heard this, he dared to be interested, but now he just has no money.
"The Cui family, I have always wanted to cooperate with Your Highness, it is the Qinghe Cui family, they want to use your power to ship quickly, of course, they also need you to get the goods, the Cui family, every time they ship to the grassland, it is worth at least 10,000 yuan, if you do it well, you can bring it back is 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, of course, this is what you need to help!" That Hu Shang looked at Li Tai and said.
"Oh, the Cui family, hehe, the Cui family doesn't have any money, right? This time, they need to compensate a lot of money, so you are a businessman of the Cui family? Li Tai heard it, looked at the Hu Shang with a smile and said.
"Actually, we all are!" The Hu Shang looked at Li Tai and said, while Li Tai stared at them at the moment.
"His Royal Highness King Yue, our Cui family is very optimistic about you, after all, you are so smart, if you want, tomorrow at noon, the representative of our Cui family will come to your mansion to visit!" That Hu Shang continued to stare at Li Tai,
Li Tai still looked at him with suspicion, the Cui family took a fancy to him, of course he was happy, but he was not stupid, he couldn't be favored by them for no reason. However, Li Tai still smiled and said to them: "Okay, come and sit on this king's mansion, of course this king is welcome!" ”
"Yes, thank you His Royal Highness King Yue, please forgive His Royal Highness King Yue, it's not that I didn't tell the truth before, the main thing is, we don't know if His Royal Highness King Yue is interested in this matter, now His Royal Highness the Prince has done it first, I believe that His Royal Highness King Yue can also try!" That Hu Shang looked at Li Tai and said,
Li Tai nodded, and then the Hu businessmen took their leave,
And Li Tai was sitting there thinking about whether he could do this matter or not, and in addition, why did Wei Hao lie to himself, saying that he lent the money to the prince, obviously it was the money that the prince got back from selling goods through Hu Shang, why did Wei Hao still collect it from himself?
"It is estimated that it is a partnership between the two of them, it must be like this, otherwise, even my eldest brother will definitely not think of here!" Li Tai sat there and analyzed, thinking in his heart that both of them had a share in this matter.
The next morning, a person knocked on the door of Cui's house, it was a minor official of the Ministry of Rites, saying that he was coming to visit Li Tai.
Li Tai saw that his surname was Cui, and he thought of what happened last night, so he let him in, and when he arrived at the study, Cui Kui, the son of the Cui family, said to Li Tai: "Your Highness, this time I am on the order of the head of the Cui family to talk to His Highness, if His Highness is willing, the Cui family will secretly support His Highness in the future, and in the court, our Cui family children will definitely support His Highness!" Of course, our Cui family also needs His Royal Highness to make it easier. ”
"Well, that's Hu Shang's business?" Li Tai stared at Cui Kui and asked.
"Yes, Your Highness, in fact, the main thing is to ship, paper and porcelain, but it is not easy to get, and salt is even more difficult to get, according to the news we know, the prince's Hu merchant team, but can get these three, among which their second batch of caravans has already set off a year ago, bringing almost 3,000 catties of fine salt, as well as 20,000 pieces of porcelain, and almost 100,000 pieces of paper, that's all, the profit will be more than 40,000 yuan, and there are other goods, Your Highness, I don't know if you can get so much?" Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and asked.
"So much? Can salt go out of the grasslands? Li Tai looked at Cui Kui in shock and asked.
"No, but His Highness's team can, so this one needs His Highness to greet those defenders along the way!" Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and said,
As soon as Li Tai heard the trouble, he was not familiar with the army, he didn't know, the reason why Li Chengqian was able to get out was because Li Shimin greeted him, the purpose was not to make money, but to collect intelligence, this time, he sent back a lot of information, Li Shimin was also appreciative, and even, Hu Shang drew some simple maps on the grassland, which had been handed over to the military department for investigation.
"What about paper and porcelain, can it be produced?" Li Tai continued to ask.
"Yes, if you want paper, you can't produce so much at one time, otherwise you will check, there is no limit to porcelain, and salt can't be produced! But I heard that it can be released, but the soldiers at the border pass want to take a penny! Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and said.
"Oh, it shouldn't be too much of a problem!" Li Tai thought about it for a while, and said that he was very familiar with Hou Junji's son, and now he was also at the border, as long as he wrote a letter and shared some money with him, it was estimated that it would not be a big problem.
"Your Royal Highness, we will buy salt ourselves, this can be bought, paper is easy to sell, the key is porcelain, this porcelain is very easy to sell, every time you go out of the kiln, you need to rob it, and the person who manages the porcelain is Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, so please help." Cui Kui said to Li Tai again.
"Don't worry about this, I have no problem, my sister loves me!" Li Tai immediately waved his hand and said, he has this confidence, although he is afraid of this sister, but this sister is really good to himself, and Li Tai is also very clear in his heart.
"Well, then, I don't know if Your Highness has anything else to ask?" Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and asked,
Li Tai stared at him for a moment, and then said, "I can't talk to you, I want to see your patriarch!" ”
