Chapter 285: Money-making expert
Lu Chensheng originally proposed to let the emperor rebuild an imperial capital.
As long as the emperor is willing, Lu Chensheng can pay for the construction, and he can make a lot of money when the time comes.
It's just that this proposal was rejected, and in the eyes of some ministers, this is really a bit of a waste of money and money, even if Lu Chensheng said that he would pay for it.
Lu Qiping and Lu Chensheng said that Lu Chensheng shook his head while listening to the resolution of the court.
"A bunch of short-sighted guys."
"Why do you say that?"
Lu Qiping sounded a little strange, and looked at Lu Chensheng with some puzzlement.
"If a new imperial capital is rebuilt, a large amount of manpower will be used at that time, countless people can find a good job, and a large number of stone and wood are in demand, which will naturally increase the income of some people.
How can this be said to be a waste of money and labor?
Their so-called labor and loss of money are just that when they started the work, they only thought about letting the people contribute money, but they never thought about paying the people. ”
Lu Qiping was a little stunned when he heard this.
"In this way, wouldn't it cost a huge amount of money to build the imperial capital? Even if you have a lot of money, you can't build it, right? ”
Lu Chensheng raised his head and glanced at him, and without waiting for Lu Chensheng to speak, he said with his mouth puffed out on the fifth day of junior high school.
"Childe has millions of silver to use now, why is it not enough?"
Millions of silver?
A look of surprise flashed on Lu Qiping's face when he heard this, this grandson of his own can make money like this?
"Even if there are millions of silver, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
How much does an emperor occupy? Millions of silver is a lot, but if you really want to start spending it, I'm afraid it won't be enough to be at the bottom.
Therefore, those ministers didn't think that Lu Chensheng could really use his own money to build an imperial capital.
Thinking about it, this Lu Chensheng can only do it by scraping the people's fat and squeezing the people, right?
After thinking about it so carefully, even the emperor felt that it was unlikely.
When the fifth day heard this, he opened his mouth slightly, and he didn't speak anymore.
She didn't know how much it would cost to build an imperial capital, but she felt that this million was already a lot.
Lu Chensheng poured a cup of tea for Lu Qiping, "It's not all of them that I want to contribute, if you want to, there are many rich people in the imperial capital." ”
"If someone has money, it can't be given to you."
Lu Qiping disagreed, and directly shook his head and said.
"It's true that it won't be given to me, but the land in the imperial capital can be sold, if the emperor is willing to move the capital, I just need to sell some lots close to the inner city, and those merchants won't come and buy it.
Just like the current location of the imperial capital close to the inner city, the mansions in these places, or the restaurants and shops, which are not extremely expensive?
If I had bought it in advance, I had promised that it would be a little cheaper, and I would have been able to get a lot of money before the city was built. ”
Lu Chensheng's face was calm, and he said calmly on the side.
Lu Qiping opened his mouth slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that what Lu Chensheng said seemed to be true.
If it is really according to what he thinks, even if he is a Chinese scholar, he is afraid that he will have to buy a lot.
Otherwise, you have to go to the morning pilgrimage every morning, and if you are far away, it is extremely inconvenient to bump back and forth.
In this way, it seems that Lu Chensheng does not need to have much money to build this city, after all, there are many rich people outside.
Lu Qiping thought about it, and suddenly felt that his grandson was definitely an expert in making money.
However, it seems that it has also been proved that this grandson of his own family can indeed make money.
"If the emperor knows about this matter, I think it will let you start building the city directly."
Lu Qiping thought about it and said to Lu Chensheng.
Before the construction began, a lot of money had begun to enter his pocket, and even the emperor would be tempted.
What's more, the emperor is still particularly short of money.
"You don't have to let the emperor know."
Lu Chensheng shook his head, he was already ready to stay for some time, so he went back to his Taohuawu, not wanting to bother about this matter.
Of course, you can make a lot of money in this matter, but it is too bothered, and it is not what Lu Chensheng wants.
What's more, if you want to build a new capital, you have to rely on cement if you want to be efficient.
In this way, it is even more troublesome to have another calcined cement one.
Lu Qiping was stunned when he heard this, and also thought of Lu Chensheng's words that he was going back to Taohuawu.
After a pause, he asked, "Are you ready to leave?" ”
"Let's wait a while."
Lu Chensheng thought about it and replied, not in a hurry for such a moment.
Lu Qiping breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and after chatting with Lu Chensheng for a while, he left.
Recently, the number of times Lu Qiping chatted with Lu Chensheng has increased a lot, probably because Lu Chensheng said that he was leaving, which made Lu Qiping feel that the two might not see each other.
"Little young master, the second prince has sent someone and wants to invite you to talk."
Lu Qiping had just left, and a maid hurriedly ran over, and then said a word to Lu Chensheng.
Lu Chensheng waved his hand, "Refuse." ”
It wasn't the second prince who came in person, and if he refused, he refused.
"If you refuse like this, aren't you afraid that the second prince will think that you have taken refuge with His Royal Highness the Prince?"
As soon as Lu Chensheng's words fell, Liu Wensheng walked in, looked at Lu Chensheng and said.
"I won't be able to stay in this imperial capital for long, if you misunderstand, you will misunderstand, not to mention that the prince may still have his people on his side, I guess he knows the situation, otherwise the prince will personally invite him, but he didn't?"
Lu Chensheng didn't care at all when he heard this.
Liu Wensheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, "That being said, but you have agreed to the invitation of the crown prince and the third prince, but you have not agreed to the second prince, if the second prince sits in that position in the future, I am afraid that he will hold a grudge against you." ”
This is true, and narrow-minded people will definitely remember this matter.
Lu Chensheng frowned when he heard this, thought about it, and shook his head again.
"If he can even hold a grudge against such a thing, then it is just enough to use this matter to see his temperament clearly."
Liu Wensheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lu Chensheng's brows, "Are you testing the second prince?" ”
"What, can't you?"
There was no one left and right, and Lu Chensheng said it calmly.
The two princes are competing for this position, Lu Chensheng has contacted the prince once, from the current point of view, Lu Chensheng still admires him, and his heart is a little less.
As for this assassination, Lu Chensheng's doubts have not yet been exhausted.
The other is these two princes, Lu Chensheng has not been in contact with them, but it doesn't seem to be very good at present.
