Chapter 324: Agreed
The businessmen came out of the conference room of the Ministry of Industry in a daze, until they walked to the door of the workshop, and what Li Mu had just said echoed in their minds.
Are the various 'benefits' given by Li Mu this time really good?
The answer is yes, Feng Si is a living example.
From a little-known West Market vendor, to a big boss who has a business of more than 100,000 yuan today. also took over a five-year order from Datang Daily, and such a figure is bound to rise.
However, this is a grassroots figure, and it was his luck to meet Li Mu. He didn't have anything in the first place, and in order to get ahead, he didn't care about letting it go. If it were any one of them, in the position of sealing four, they would do the same thing.
This is called barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
But in comparison, the merchants are different. They have shoes to wear, and not yet their own shoes. They can only operate, not decide, because the business is not theirs. However, what they have to face is indeed the dilemma of choosing one of the two given by Li Mu.
Or, acting according to his intentions, loans, orders, sales, unimpeded. Or, if you do it with him, the ending will be difficult to say.
There is a saying that 'people die for money', but are people really willing to die for money? Don't forget, there is also a saying called 'life earns, life does not spend'.
If it was Li Mu alone, the businessmen might dare to give it a go. But now, he is the Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All of these businesses are in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And what is the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It was the emperor's money bag.
If you can't get along with Li Mu, you can't get along with the emperor.
Who would dare to oppose the imperial power?
Li Mu's move this time can't be called a conspiracy, he is a conspiracy. To tell you plainly, I just did it, what can you do?
Some people are also thinking, I take care of my own business, can't I just get involved with your internal affairs government?
But after thinking about it, he figured it out himself. With such a trend, who can be immune?
Take this Zhenguan plough order as an example, if you don't do it, someone will naturally do it. The profit is there, and when you get the order, you are equal to making money. Everyone is in the woodwork business, and if they make money, the business will inevitably expand, and the cake is so big, if you don't take the initiative to participate in it, you will be squeezed out of the table, let alone eat the cake, and you can't smell it.
This is also the most despicable place for Li Muyangmou.
Pulling the emperor's tiger flag, so that you don't dare to do it against me. And then tempt you with benefits, so that you will be in the same stream as me. Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and those who do not cooperate with me do not need me to do it himself, and your peers can kill you!
The merchants did not dare to make a decision, and after leaving the Ministry of Works, they went to their respective lords' houses and told what had happened. Then, the major mansions came out of the back door and a carriage converged in different places.
Zhao Guogong Mansion.
The nobles have already quarreled.
The nobles who were born in Rongma are not good at doing business in the first place. But the family is big, the business is big, and the population is large, so you have to eat.
The simple and crude business of lending money has become one of their first choices. Who doesn't have a few channels for lending? Moreover, most of the nobles are in charge of military power, and there are many guards and personal soldiers, who dare to pay the bills, they will go directly to the door, and no one will dare to take care of the magistrates.
Now that Li Mu's bank is out, the three-point interest loan has directly cut off their way of life.
Where do you make up for the losses?
Gao Shilian was furious and shouted: "Which side of the person is this kid Li Mu?" Why do you rush the door valve for a while, and rush us hard for a while? What does it mean he is? Isn't he doing this to clearly cut off our financial route? Gao Shilian looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "No, you have to go to him!" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji rubbed his temples, his head was about to explode, why did Li Mu not make people worry about it so much, he had to make a big deal every few days. He now regrets very much that he couldn't be ruthless when Li Mu was in his infancy, so that now, even if he wants to be ruthless, he can't do it.
His Majesty allowed him to open a mansion? What is he doing by giving him back the power to appoint officials?
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't figure it out at all, where did Li Shimin like Li Mu, no matter how talented this kid is, he is only seventeen years old, can he really do a good job with such a heavy responsibility entrusted to him?
"The eldest grandson is Mowgli! The old man is talking to you! ”
Gao Shilian shouted irritably, he was the uncle of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he had a great favor to the eldest grandson, so he had always been unscrupulous.
The eldest grandson Wuji had to speak, and said, "Uncle, Li Mu is now leading the Internal Affairs Office, and everything he does is what His Majesty wants." How do you let me find him? Your Majesty's inner money is not rich, who will fill it? Unless my uncle can fill it, no matter how we look for it, it's all in vain. ”
Gao Shilian's mouth suddenly closed, and he muttered: "My Gao family doesn't have much money, and it won't help if I give it to Your Majesty......"
The sound became quieter and quieter, and slowly fell silent.
Dugu Xiude looked left and right, and said loudly: "For today's plan, the old man thinks it's better not to oppose Zhulu Hou." You might as well think about it, this is a good time. If we had gone to Li Mu earlier and taken the order in our hands, this would have been money that could be seen and touched. ”
Gao Shilian became lively again, and reprimanded: "You are good at talking, your son follows Li Mu all day long, you old boy must have known the news for a long time." What do you mean by that? When the lobbyist comes? ”
Dugu Xiude blushed and retorted: "Old Guogong, what do you mean by this? Let's be the same as the right noble, when did I do something sorry for everyone! I'm just talking about things and saying what I think. If you say that the relationship with Li Mu is far away, are you far away? Do you still remember when Datang Salt and Datang Mining became shareholders, which one of them became shareholders at both ends? You're not the only one? If you say that about me, I'm starting to doubt you, don't you mean to go against the grain, but actually probe the truth! ”
"You dare to suspect me? Good boy, can't you bully the old man? ”
"Don't dare! It's still the same sentence, just talk about the facts! ”
"That's it!" The eldest grandson Wuji's head was as big as a fight, and he suddenly shouted, "What's the matter, it's not what happened, I quarreled first." If it's for people to see, it's not a joke? ”
Gao Shilian and Dugu Xiude glanced at each other, each snorted coldly, and twisted their heads to the other side.
Eldest Sun Wuji let out a long sigh and said, "I thought about this matter just now and found a strange place. Li Murong took out this bank loan, where did he get the money to borrow abroad? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. In their consciousness, it was already an established fact that Li Mu was rich, so they didn't think about it at all. After the eldest grandson Wuji mentioned this, he thought about it carefully, and then suddenly it happened.
Li Mu has no money!
It's not that he really doesn't have that much money, it's that he doesn't have that much money. His winery, tens of thousands of yuan in a month, his shop, tens of thousands of yuan in a month, plus the share of the horse farm, etc., is indeed a lot.
But he spent more, first at his own expense to build a craftsman's workshop, and then with a large package of 100,000 lanes in Chang'an City, even if there is a mountain of gold at home, he can't afford such expenses.
Besides, this is a matter for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Li Mu has no reason to post money to go in by himself. Taking a step back, even if he is willing to post money, his money is not enough.
A paper mill is 50,000 yuan, and then a carpentry workshop, blacksmith workshop, etc., 100,000, 200,000, or 500,000 may not be enough. Where did he get all this money?
"Isn't it ......"
Gao Shilian gasped and said, "He dares to touch our money?" This kid ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji sneered and said, "Except for the two million pieces in the Ice Cellar of the Ministry of Industry, I can't think of anything else." If you want to break the situation in this matter, you have to start from this aspect, no matter what, it is unreasonable for him to take our money and lend it to us! ”
Dugu Xiude smacked for a moment, but he couldn't say anything more.
The eldest grandson Wuji stood up and said, "Please go back first, and I'll go to find Wang Qi." What we think of, Wang Jue's old fox must also think of, see what he says. If he is not willing to suffer this dumb loss, there is still room for reversal in this matter, and if he admits it, we can't do anything. When the time comes, let's look into what follows. ”
The nobles got up: "Please, uncle." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji did not delay, sent off the guests, asked people to prepare the car, and at the same time sent a family member to ride a horse to Wang Qi's mansion to deliver the letter.
As the uncle of the country, he naturally couldn't go to the door to visit, so the two agreed to meet at the place, went around a long distance, and met in heaven and earth.
Wang Jue arrived as scheduled, pushed open the door of the private room, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji tasting tea, quickly put away his sad face, put on an indifferent look, sat down next to him, and said: "Uncle Guo's qi cultivation kung fu is beyond the reach of the old man, and Taishan collapses in front of him without changing his face, which is such a deep person as Uncle Guo." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji put down the teacup and said, "I don't have time to talk to you, I heard about it, what do you think?" ”
"No one's money is blown by the wind, it is all the blood and sweat of the ancestors, Li Mu, this kid, has always been too smooth, it's time to give him some hardship."
The eldest grandson Wuji sneered: "Are you here to avenge that punch?" ”
"Say whatever you want."
Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji teasing, Wang Jue lowered his face, stood up, and said, "I have already written the script, what Uncle Guo does, the old man doesn't care." I can't get around a single word for anything, I don't believe that Li Mu can still quibble this time. ”
With that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
The eldest grandson Wuji looked down from the crack in the window and saw Wang Jue getting into the car, groaned for a long time, gritted his teeth, and his eyes became firm.
This game is of great significance. It's not just about the present, it's about the future. Now there are three major forces in the DPRK and China, the nobles, the gate lords, and the scholars. The three-legged stand is sometimes strong and weak, but the overall is balanced.
If Li Mu wins this time, the Internal Affairs Office will become a force that can be on an equal footing with the nobles, gate lords, and scholars!
Absolutely, this can't be allowed!
