Chapter 68: Digging the Foot of the Wall
"So, whether it's the Wang family, the Li family, or the Cui family, they can't cooperate with you in Baijia brewing and movable type printing?" Wang Daowen asked unrelentingly.
Li Feng nodded and said, "Let me make it clear, both of these have the shadow of the imperial court, and they can't cooperate with anyone, no, to be precise, they can't cooperate with the family."
You don't need me to say anything about those things in your family and the imperial court. ”
Wang Daowen said: "The emperor hates our family and doesn't want our family to develop, but he has to rely on our family, which is very contradictory." ”
"So, don't think about movable type printing and Baijiajiu, you can participate in the next new project, that is, cement road.
If you don't feel at ease, I'll let me see through a little bit of cement road news. First of all, this road is different from the loess road, the cement road is very smooth, there are no potholes, there will be no dust, and there will be no water on rainy days. ”
"Even if the cement road is tens of millions of times better than the loess road, it won't make money." Wang Daowen asked.
Li Feng said: "If this road is built by the imperial court, then it is really impossible to make money." But what about this road that we built? ”
"Are we going to charge for it?"
"Yes, it's the fee, the road, we will repair it, and all the costs are paid by us. The main court gave us the right to use it for ten years, and during these ten years, we could collect tolls from the people.
I have inquired that from Chang'an to Luoyang, it takes half a day to ride a horse at the earliest, and the cement road only takes two-thirds of the time, or even faster.
In between, which path would you choose? ”
"A new path, of course."
Regarding Li Feng's question, Wang Daowen didn't think about it, and directly gave the answer.
Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't this it." You will choose a new road, and then think about how many people go from Chang'an to Luoyang and Luoyang to Chang'an every day?
As for how to charge, I have my own set of guidelines, so I won't talk about it for the time being, and you will know the details when you come to my tavern in three days. ”
"Okay, I'll be there in three days." Wang Daowen nodded solemnly.
Leaving the palace, Li Feng came to the Li Mansion, the place where the Li family of the Li family in Longxi lived.
It is also strange to say that the Li family in Longxi did not set up a branch in Chang'an, and if there was anything, they directly sent their subordinates to deal with it. Mainly close to Chang'an.
Li Yi learned that Li Feng was coming and went out to greet him.
"Young Master Li Feng, he is really a distinguished guest, please forgive me for my sins."
"You're welcome, I also have nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, I want to use your Li family's Chamber of Commerce to help me do something."
"I don't know if there's anything that can help Young Master Li Feng?"
"It's just a trivial matter, I want the Li Chamber of Commerce to form a merchant group and follow the arrangements of the people I sent. As for the guards, I will arrange everything for the sale, you just need to arrange everything else that the merchant group needs for me. ”
"May I ask, where is the merchant group going?"
"Shuo Fang." Li Feng also said without concealment,
Li Yi said in shock: "This Shuofang is at war, no one wants to go, and it doesn't matter how much money you spend." ”
"Hey, I guessed it. That's why I asked the Li family for help. ”
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Li Feng shook his hand and said, "Okay." He didn't dwell on this question, and then asked, "Excuse me, is Li Yi your real name?" ”
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Is there Li San, Li Si?"
"No, Young Master Li Feng, if you have something to say, just say it directly, what's the point of knocking on the side like this?" Li Yi is not a stupid person, since Li Feng does not attach much importance to the matter of the business group going to Shuofang, then there must be another purpose.
Li Feng smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a talent, so soon I know that I have another purpose." ”
"It was Young Master Li Feng who did it, it was too obvious." Li Yi said angrily, he really thinks he is an idiot.
"Haha......" Li Feng was not embarrassed, smiled, and said, "Actually, I am here for you." ”
"For me, Young Master Li is joking. I'm just a member of the Li family. Li Yi said self-deprecatingly.
Li Feng said with a smile: "I never look at my identity, I only look at my ability. Since the head of the Li family asked you to come to Chang'an to be responsible for the annexation of the royal family's property, it shows that your ability is very outstanding. The most important thing is that the third young master of the Li family can fight as much as you say, which shows that the head of the Li family values you very much.
All of this shows that you are a talent, a great talent, or even a business wizard. ”
"I've won the prize, my ability is mediocre, otherwise this mission will fail."
"Salt Mountain?"
"You know?"
"Can't guess? There is only one salt mountain left in the Wang family, and the rest of the business has been swallowed up by your other six great families. And Yanshan was given to me by the Wang family, do you think it will be a failure. ”
"Yes, I didn't expect that Young Master Li Feng would want Yanshan, otherwise I would have already made a move." Li Yi said with a sigh.
Li Feng bowed his head and said: "I believe that you can get Yanshan, nothing more than spending a little more money." ”
"Hey, it's too late to say anything."
"Are you going to condescend to it for the rest of your life, haven't you thought about standing on your own?" Li Feng asked.
"Thank you for your kindness. I was raised by the head of my family, and I will only serve the Li family in this life. Born as the Li family, died as the ghost of the Li family. Li Yi said in a deep voice, with a resolute attitude and not allowing others to question it.
Li Feng sighed and said, "Hey, since your attitude is so resolute, then I won't say it anymore, I'm short of people now, so I'm looking for you to help me, and when I'm no longer lacking, then I won't need you." ”
"Young Master Li is really quick to talk, not ordinary people." Li Yi smiled and said, Other people are popular, and they generally say that the door of my house is always open for you.
Digging the foot of the wall failed, and Li Feng no longer stayed in the Li Mansion.
Li Yi looked at Li Feng's background, didn't say anything, and turned around and went back to the house directly. However, this matter was known to Li Quan.
At this time, he was worried that he couldn't find a way to sue Li Yi, and finally let him see hope.
After he followed Li Feng for a while, he suddenly disappeared from Li Feng, and he quickly walked to the alley where Li Feng disappeared.
"What about people?" He looked left and right, but he didn't find Li Feng's figure.
"After following me for so long, what's the matter, Third Young Master Li?"
Li Feng's voice sounded behind Li Quan, making Li Quan's heart slam for a while, and he hurriedly turned around, and said in surprise: "You already knew that I was following you?" ”
Li Feng sneered: "Your lame tracking technique, how could I not find out, come on, get down to business, why are you stalking me?" ”
Li Quan's face was angry, and he was looked down upon again, and said with a gloomy face: "What are you looking for Li Yi for?" ”
"If I don't tell you, I'll make a small report. This had a great impact on Li Yi. Li Feng said.
Li Quan sneered: "If you don't say it, I also know that Li Yi must be planning to sell the Li family's property to you." No, it is possible that you are making Li Yi your internal response, and whenever the Li family has a major decision, they can't escape you, and you will take the lead. ”
"Papapa...... Li Feng clapped his hands and chuckled: "It is worthy of being the young master of the Li family, and the matter is so thorough." It's a pity that it's useless, your old man doesn't believe you, he is new Li Yi. ”
"Hmph, you guys wait, sooner or later, I'll let Li Yi reveal his true colors and make everyone look at me with admiration." Li Quan said angrily.
Li Feng sneered and said in his heart: "It's up to you, dream." ”
"It seems that you hate Li Yi very much, why don't we cooperate and drive Li Yi out of your Li family?"
Li Quan looked at Li Feng vigilantly and said, "What do you mean?" Didn't you work with Li Yi? ”
"Literally, I don't want Li Yi to be in your Li family, how about it, are you interested in cooperating?" Li Feng said.
Li Quan still looked at Li Feng vigilantly, and then analyzed the truth and falsehood of Li Feng's words.
Li Feng continued: "There are too few useful people around me, Li Yi is a talent, I want him to be one of my shopkeepers."
If you are willing to help, I can also let you achieve more in Chang'an than you can get Yanshan. Let you have hope to become the next head of the Li family.
Of course, if you are willing to listen to me, I can make you the head of the Li family 100%, provided that you have to listen to me, if you are a little disobedient, your dream of being the head of the family will be shattered. ”
"Do you want me to be the head of the puppet family and let the Li family be your puppet?" Li Quan said in a deep voice.
Li Feng shook his head and said, "No, it's just mutual benefit, and it's just for you to listen to me before you become the head of the family, and when you become the head of the family, you don't have to listen to me."
Or do you think that I alone can control your entire Li family, or do you think that your Li family can be controlled by me alone.
If the millennium family can be controlled so easily, then the one who wants to control you the most is the current emperor.
As the young master of the family, it is impossible for you not to know the relationship between the emperor and your family, right? ”
Li Quan thought for a while and said, "Then what good do you have if I cooperate with you?" ”
"We cooperate with each other, I can use the resources of your Li family to open up the transportation routes between Chang'an and Longxi, and then choose to go south or north, so that the transportation of Datang can be developed.
Of course, this is a mutually beneficial thing, if you want to know, in three days, come to my tavern, you will know everything, and you will make your father impress you because of this matter.
And your purpose is one, to divide and frame Li Yi and force him to leave the Li family. ”
"Three days later?"
"That's right, in three days, I'll hold a hot pot banquet in the tavern, invite a group of people to eat hot pot, and after the banquet, I'll show everyone my new invention. cement, as well as the planning of cement roads. ”
"Okay, I'll be here in three days. Don't let me down. ”
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, on the contrary, you won't let me down."
"Rest assured, I won't let you down either. But you have to keep me from being disappointed. Li Quan said.
Li Feng smiled slightly: "In that case, I hope we will not be disappointed." ”
"Hmph, I'll go first." Even if he really cooperated, Li Quan didn't have a good face for Li Feng.
Li Feng smiled slightly, turned around and went back.
In the next three days, Li Feng had to prepare a lot of things, and he was very busy for a while, even if Li Lizhen and Yan Shuyi came to play with him, he actually arranged work for the two of them.
