Chapter 171: The Story That Makes People Hold Grass
Everyone returned to the living room one after another.
"How, have you discussed it?" Luo Ming waited for everyone to sit down, and then asked unhurriedly.
"That's the case, Luo Xian's nephew, you also know that recently we are going to prepare to buy silk and hemp, and we really don't have much living money, so we are all ready to invest in one hundred shares." Everyone looked at each other, and after some humility, someone finally stood up and said, but he was embarrassed to say that he had invested ten times, eight times, and directly doubled tenfold, and said a hundred times, ready to let this money go down the drain.
Luo Ming didn't agree, but stood up with a smile, looked at the other people who didn't speak, and asked, "What about you?" That's what it means? ”
"Huh." The others smiled and didn't speak, and nodded without smiling.
"Little three send-off." Luo Ming took his teacup, drank the water, waved his hand, and shouted.
Luo Ming didn't get used to them, so he just opened his mouth to drive people away.
……
"Humph!" The people who were sent out of the door waved their sleeves disdainfully at the door and snorted softly.
"Who is so rare about your shares! Bah! ”
"Let's go to the teahouse and sit down." Wei Ruizhi knew that this was the best time to win people's hearts, after all, September every year was the day to elect the president of the cloth industry, so he hurriedly invited.
"Then thank you, Brother Wei."
"Let's go, everybody."
"Let's go to ......"
……
"Dead fatty, you have a lot to do, why do you call so many people? Waste of our time. Xia Haibo scolded him angrily.
"Cut, who knows that these people are so eyeless, or a few brothers understand." Luo Ming praised those second ancestors, "By the way, Old Man Feng, are you also interested in buying shares?" Luo Ming asked the old general who was sitting as steady as Mount Tai on the side.
"Why aren't you welcome?" Feng Bearing glanced at Luo Ming, the last time he killed the bandits, Luo Fat Man had pit his own family once, this time Feng Bearing thought about it, no matter what it was, he had to jump into the pit first to establish contact with them.
"No, no, that dare, Feng Lao still has a vision......"
"Ahem," Xiang Yixin's voice sounded in the hall.
Let these people who are ready to blow each other in business wake up, "County Lord ......"
"Tell me, what are you asking me to do?" Xiang Yixin asked.
"I'm going to make you rich." Luo Ming smiled like a meritorious smile.
"Get down to business, don't be hippie." Xiang Yixin scolded angrily.
"It's really telling you to make a fortune, didn't you say it before? Mr. is going to set up a firm and let everyone take shares. Luo Ming said with a non-joking posture.
"Me?" Xiang Yixin was a little puzzled, and then smiled: "Forget it, don't compete with the people." ”
Cao Yan, who had been drinking tea and was a little bored, was suddenly stunned when he heard this, then stretched out his hand, pasted Xiang Yixin's forehead, and muttered: "No fever!" ”
And Cao Yan's action also made everyone present stay on the spot, including Xiang Yixin himself.
"Master......"
"Brother Cao......"
"Mr. ......"
Cao Yan realized that he had made a gaffe when he heard this just now.
"Please forgive the county lord, the master's rudeness."
"Lord of the county, please be gracious......"
Xiang Yixin's face flushed slightly, and he waved his hand to stop their plea, "Brother Cao, why do you say that?" ”
Cao Yan smiled awkwardly at first, and then said, "I don't know that stupid person taught you this, do you think the person sitting here can be called a citizen?" ”
Xiang Yixin looked around, "You should all be counted, subjects, courtiers, aren't you talking about you?" ”
"Hehe," Cao Yan smiled and asked, "Then do you know the consequences of not competing with us?" ”
Xiang Yixin knew that it was probably Cao Yan who wanted to teach her some knowledge, so she stood up and waved to Cao Yan, "I want to hear about it." ”
Cao Yan hurriedly stood up, sideways to avoid Xiang Yixin's salute, then looked at the others, and said with a smile: "It's just a little story, don't take it seriously." ”
"Sir, just say it."
"Then I said, the story happened to the last emperor of a country, when the country was in turmoil, there were strong enemies outside, and the inside was full of famines, civil unrest, the emperor of that country, was also taught, not to compete with the people for profit, so it is relatively poor, it is said that his dragon robe is patched, seeing that the bandits have hit the capital, but the military salary is not a penny, you think, he is wearing patched clothes, then there is still money, no way, the emperor had to be cheeky to ask the ministers to donate, but the order came down, And guess what? Cao Yan said, stopped, picked up the teacup on the table and drank water.
Xiang Yixin frowned, looked up at the people present, and obviously brought himself into the role.
Finding Xiang Yixin's gaze at him, Xia Haibo spoke first, "County Lord, don't worry, as long as you open your mouth, my family will definitely have how much money to donate." ”
"We are ...... too"
Xiang Yixin nodded with satisfaction.
"Please continue with Brother Cao."
"The ministers in the palace are crying poor, and in the end, the prime minister is crying, and at the same time he took the lead in taking out five hundred taels of silver, and the other officials are all one, one hundred taels, dozens of taels, no way, the emperor can only take the route of relatives, let his own abbot take the lead, donate 100,000 taels, because he knows that they all have money, and the poorest is only himself."
"And this abbot is also a wonder, when he saw the emperor, he cried even worse than the emperor who was poor, saying that he was much poorer than the emperor, so poor that he ate moldy rice himself."
Of course, this could not deceive the emperor, and after the emperor was angry, he ordered him to donate at least 20,000 yuan. There was no way, the prince had to go to the queen to complain, and the queen saw that her father was crying, so she had to sell her jewelry and raise 5,000 taels for him, guess what the prince did? Cao Yan asked.
"Brother Cao[7z] don't hang your appetite, go on." Everyone was interested in hearing this, and hurriedly urged.
Cao Yan shook his head with a wry smile, "You won't use your brains?" Although he scolded like this, he continued to say: "For the five thousand taels of silver, the king also confiscated two thousand taels and donated three thousand taels." ”
"Hold the grass, there are such people in this world who are inferior to beasts?" Someone couldn't help but scold.
"Don't interrupt, let Mr. continue, what about Mr. later?" Xia Haibo asked.
"Later, it was simple, the rebels captured the capital and sacked Kyoto, guess how much money was looted?"
"How much?"
"Guess for yourself!" This time, Cao Yan didn't plan to say it so easily, ignored everyone's requests, and drank tea by himself.
Seeing that Cao Yan didn't let go, everyone guessed.
"It should be around 10 million taels, after all, Mr. said that the emperor is so miserable, and there is a famine at home, and there are strong enemies abroad."
"That won't be so little, after all, the capital of a country, and Mr. said that they also have money, then there should be at least 150,000 taels."
And the rest of the people also spoke one after another, but they were all around 10 million taels.
Xiang Yixin also guessed fifteen million taels.
Of course, after they all said the numbers they had in mind, they turned their heads and asked Cao Yan: "Sir, we have all guessed, can we tell us the answer?" That's correct. ”
Cao Yan sneered and said, "Seventy million taels, that Guozhang's family looted seven hundred thousand taels, hehe." ”
It was the selfishness of these people that made the dynasty where the Son of Heaven guarded the country and the king died in the society cut off the last glimmer of hope, and caused the Chinese civilization to regress, thus starting the humiliation of more than 100 years in later generations.
"Shhh Wouldn't it really be put? More than 100 million yuan, even if you take out a tenth, it is enough to fight a small war to destroy the country, and these people don't know what to think? ”
"Master, are you telling the truth?" Luo Ming hurriedly asked.
"What you think is true, that's true, what you think is false, that's fake." Cao Yan didn't argue, and after answering Luo Ming's words, he looked at Xiang Yixin and asked, "Do you understand something?" ”
"A lot." Xiang Yixin was a little shocked, she was savoring.
"Okay, now you tell me, are you still competing with the people?"
Xiang Yixin hesitated a little, and only then did he ask again: "In this way, could it not be Renjun's doing?" ”
"Hehe," Cao Yan said with a smile: "Let me ask you a question, if you kill all those ministers, grab the money, and distribute it to all the people in the world, do you think others will call you a tyrant or a benevolent monarch?" "It's a paradox, a question that can't be answered.
Xiang Yixin was completely stunned by Cao Yan's question.
She really couldn't think of this answer, if it was a tyrant, the money would be distributed to the people, and if she said Renjun, she would kill all the ministers.
Xiang Yixin muttered in a low voice, fine beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead, and his heart kept wandering between Renjun and Tyrant, "What the hell?" How, exactly? ”
But she thought about it for a long time and didn't have an answer, so she looked at Cao Yan helplessly, and asked with a sad expression: "What should Mr. do?" ”
Cao Yan shook his head with a chuckle, "It's simple, don't you just make the money yourself and distribute it to the people?" ”
These words woke her up like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, yes, why didn't she think of this, she has money, so she still needs to look at other people's eyes? Like the emperor in the story just now, to beg others?
"There's an old saying, I don't know if you've heard it?" Cao Yan saw that Xiang Yixin's demeanor had returned to normal, and asked again.
"Please advise."
"I have food in my hand, I don't panic in my heart, I have money in my pocket, and my waist is straight......"
After Xiang Yixin looked at Cao Yan for a while, he said firmly: "Sir, I have been taught......
