Chapter 128 Competing with the People for Profit (Four Changes)
Chapter 128
Li Lizhi said that she was going to ask Wei Hao Fangzi, and at this moment, Empress Eldest Sun also asked: "Wei Hao has been in for a few days, why hasn't he been released yet?" ”
"It's the fourth day!" Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin as she spoke.
"I have to stay for two days, today, there doesn't seem to be any impeachment on the side of the family, I guess I know something, it's okay, and after I finish cleaning up that group of officials, I can release it." Li Shimin smiled and said, this time he was very happy, he cleaned up so many officials of the big family, and it can be regarded as a warning to those big families, so as to provoke less royal affairs, and to raise a lot of children of small families, now there is no way, but to use the children of small families to balance the children of big families.
"Okay, go ask Wei Hao, this kid, his heart is really good, and he is sincere to you, just give up those things, ordinary men won't do so much for you." Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Lizhen with a smile, Li Lizhen heard it and was very happy.
"Well, it's a little, how to say it, this kid, no ambition, no precaution, you look at this time, it will definitely not leave a lesson for this kid, eh!" Li Shimin said a little worriedly, this character is good or good, but if it's not good, it's really bad.
"Father, you know he is like that." Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin coquettishly.
"Well, in a few days, after Wei Hao is released from prison, let his parents come to the palace, after talking, I will make a holy decree to give marriage to the two of you, and then go according to the etiquette, forget about the color of the ring, our royal family has taken advantage of others, in addition, the two imperial villages, the father will also give him, in exchange for forty percent of the shares in his hand. These two princes, you are also familiar with the girl. Li Shimin nodded and spoke.
"Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry!" When Li Lizhi heard this, she immediately said coquettishly.
"Silly girl, aren't you married? If you don't marry that Wei Hanzi, you don't know how to say anything about your father, this kid dares to say anything with that mouth. Li Shimin smiled and touched Li Lizhen's head and said, Li Lizhen was also embarrassed.
"That's right, father, yesterday the person in charge of the family in Chang'an came to me and wanted to take the porcelain, but I didn't agree, because Wei Hao said that he couldn't give it to them, and my daughter learned later that the porcelain was sold far away, and the profit was amazing.
The daughter thought that she wanted to let those businessmen of the royal family run this, which would bring a lot of profits, but Wei Hao did not agree before, and the daughter went to Wei Hao in the afternoon and wanted to discuss this matter with him, do you think it's okay? Li Lizhi sat there, watched the two of them and asked again.
"Use those royal people to sell those porcelain, well, what is the profit?" Empress Changsun opened her mouth and asked, Li Shimin was not familiar with those things in the royal family, mainly because Empress Changsun was in charge.
"The queen mother, the profit is more than two to three times, and if it is sold to the grassland, the profit is more than three times, but unfortunately, our royal family does not have such a horse team." Li Lizhi explained.
"Such a high profit, three times?" When Li Shimin heard it, he first said in shock, and Empress Eldest Sun was also very shocked.
"Well, three times, many people have said this, the Hu merchants that Wei Hao gave this time, they were sent to the grassland." Li Lizhi nodded affirmatively and said.
"What about me in Datang?" Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Li and asked, very shocked in her heart.
"Queen Mother, if you go to those areas in the southwest and south, the profit has more than doubled, or even tripled, and even depends on what area, our porcelain is very good to sell, and Hu merchants are big households, and now there are many small Hu merchants outside, in addition, Hu merchants who have not taken porcelain sales before are waiting for the goods, but unfortunately our royal family can't sell so far, by the way, father, is there a caravan in the court?" Li Li felt very sorry, looked at Li Shimin and asked.
"How could the court raise a caravan, but, as you said, it's indeed a pity." Li Shimin nodded and said, triple the profit, the key base is still large, and there are 30,000 yuan of goods in one kiln.
"Well, why didn't Wei Hao agree in the first place?" After hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Li and asked, he wanted to know why Wei Hao would not agree to such a thing.
"Queen Mother, Wei Hao said at the beginning that he didn't want to settle accounts, after all, it was five or five open, and in addition, he was also worried that after letting the royal people sell it, not only could they not make money but also lose money, so they didn't agree." Li Lizhen hurriedly reported.
"Well, what is the reason for this, why would the royal family still lose money?" Li Shimin looked at Li Lizhi incomprehensibly,
And Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Shimin, then sighed and said, "This kid, even know this?" ”
"Is it really going to be a loss?" Li Shimin was even more shocked, how could it be possible? Others can make money by selling, and the royal family can lose money if they sell it.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about business matters, you don't understand this, there are many children of the royal family, everyone has it, and, in count, it is still a very close kind, some, there is no title, and there is no learning or skill, but there is no big mistake, it is just so ambitious, easy and hardworking, porcelain is in their hands, it is estimated that they can sell it at cost price, in fact, this money may go to their own pockets." Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Shimin with a wry smile.
"And such a thing?" When Li Shimin heard this, the fire was big, isn't this damaging to the public and private interests?
"Okay, Your Majesty, you don't care about this, the concubine can handle it, in this way, girl, you go and ask Wei Hao and ask him what he means." Empress Eldest Sun said to Li Liqing.
"Okay, queen mother, hearing you say this, my daughter is a little worried, this profit is too big." When Li Lizhi heard this, she was also a little worried.
"Let's talk about it when we ask clearly!" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile,
After Li Lizhen came out of the palace in the afternoon, she went straight to the prison of the Criminal Department to find Wei Hao.
"Girl, wear so much, is it so cold now?" Wei Hao asked in surprise when he saw Li Lizhi coming over wearing very thick clothes.
"It's just that it's suddenly getting cold today, and it's still windy outside, and you're in the cell, and you haven't felt it yet." Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said.
"Oh. So what are you doing here? Is it so cold and still coming out? You don't have to worry about the things in that workshop, just tell the people below to do it. Wei Hao said to Li Lizhi with concern,
Li Lizhi nodded with a smile, and then said: "Wei Hao, tell you something, that is, the people from the family came to me, I refused, and they also found my eldest brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to intercede, after the eldest brother learned about your situation, he didn't say anything, and directly said that he would not help." ”
"Hehe, that's, my uncle will definitely help us, right, don't bother with them, this profit is too high, if it is given to them, the strength of the family will be even stronger, and when the time comes, more scholars will be able to come out, and the children of the poor family will have no chance, they make me unhappy, I will dig their roots, and say that I want to beg them, and now it is useless for them to beg me." Wei Hao was already gritting his teeth as he spoke,
For the family, Wei Hao was not disgusted, but your family originally controlled so many resources, at least you have to give the children of the poor family a chance to rise, now not only those children of the poor family have no chance to rise, but they are a marquis, if they don't know Li Liqing, their bones will be broken by them, this breath, Wei Hao is not going to endure it.
"Okay, if you don't give them then, let our royal caravan sell it?" Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and asked with a smile, Wei Hao heard it, so he turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said: "No, your royal family can't compete with the people, as a superior person, you can't compete with the people, I can't get along with the family, I just see them competing with the people,
As a royal family, you need to consider the people of the world, not just your royal family, so that the people of the world will have a great opinion on you, and it may be nothing now, but after three or five generations, besides, let your royal people sell, I estimate that we will lose even the principal and interest at that time. ”
"How is it possible, which of them dares to do this?" When Li Lizhi heard Wei Hao's objection, it was also expected, but she just wanted to argue with Wei Hao and wanted to hear Wei Hao say more.
"Why don't you dare, it's all your own people, you can still make a dead hand, get more, how good, if I have such an opportunity, I will also get it, you can rest assured that you can sell it to those businessmen, sometimes, the benefits need to be shared with others, and you make everything, then I don't know how many people you have to offend, understand?" Wei Hao sat there and said to Li Li.
"Well, that one competes with the people, you can talk to me again." Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao with a smile and said,
Wei Hao heard it, smiled and said: "You are a royal child, the people of the world are rich, then the royal family is naturally not short of money, and the world is also peaceful, and the royal family can also last for a long time, if your royal family will do whatever it makes money, then what do the people rely on to make money?" I have no money, I can't even afford to eat, so why don't you mess around?
Therefore, not only the royal family should not compete with the people, but even to prevent those dignitaries and nobles, families and people from competing for profits, so as to ensure that my Tang Dynasty can last for a long time, you must know that those dignitaries and families, if they don't give the people a way to live, who will they blame, not the royal family, the father-in-law? Right?
However, now my Datang is not perfect for this part, I am ready to suggest to my father-in-law, but His Majesty may not listen, Datang still despises businessmen too much, in fact, there are no businessmen, where does the wealth come from? If you don't have wealth, how can you tax it, how can you have the money to equip the soldiers of my Tang Dynasty, if you come to fight against the Turks? Li Lizhi listened very carefully, she wanted to tell Li Shimin.
