Chapter 575: Qu Tuquan Visits
Yu Xiuer was really angry this time, Sun Xiangfu was useless no matter how she coaxed, she finally finished the work and was able to rest, she didn't let Sun Xiangfu go to her bed, and Sun Xiangfu, who had been a monk for almost half a year, could only continue to sleep in the study.
Early the next morning, Sun Xiangfu met with the legendary secret guard commander Qu Tuquan in the study, he was the young son of Qu Tutong, the prince of Jiang Guo, Qu Tutong was also one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, although he was a Xianbei person, but he was loyal to the family and was very trusted by Li Shimin.
It's a pity that when Sun Xiangfu made his career in the court, his old man was already seriously ill in bed, and it didn't take long for him to hang up.
Qu Tutong was already seventy-two years old when he died, and he was naturally not young as a young man, and his appearance in his thirties was at least the same as Li Shimin, and as for his appearance, it was a very characteristic of an intelligence officer, that is, he had no characteristics.
"Regarding the case of Wang Hao's murder, if Commander Qu Tu has anything to ask, just ask! I know it all. ”
Although the secret guard is a number of emperor's retainers, there is no detailed grade division, usually because of the need to investigate the case, Li Shimin is entrusted with various temporary official positions, with Qu Tutong's merit, Qu Tuquan Even if he is a young son, he should at least carry the title of a county duke, or the official position of the state assassin level, but, no, on the surface, he is just a Guoyi lieutenant of Qianniuwei, but, everyone who knows his identity as the commander of the secret guard, all come to see him as a national prince, that is, Lian Sun Xiangfu, I didn't dare to hold it up in front of him, because he might be a henchman among Li Shimin's henchmen who was more trusted than the palace guard.
"Hehe, Young Master Sun doesn't have to be nervous, the reason why I didn't come yesterday is because I have investigated everything that should be investigated, and I came here today because after I presented the results of the investigation to Your Majesty, I came to talk to you about a few words that have nothing to do with Wang Hao's death."
When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he said with some surprise, "Really? I don't know, what is the result of Qu Tu's investigation? ”
Qu Tuquan replied with a smile, "Wang Hao's death naturally has nothing to do with Young Master Sun, your subordinates' intelligence, eyes, ears, and guards, all of them are still alive, and even if you want to kill Wang Hao, you will not use this kind of means that is most unacceptable to Your Majesty, so your suspicion has been ruled out, and I also brought the weapons and equipment of your palace guards yesterday and returned them to you, so please don't be surprised." ”
"No, no, you are also responsible, so if you have anything to talk about, just talk! Don't be so polite, I was a royal retainer earlier! ”
The relationship between Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu is not cold enough to ask a question, and they need others to pass it on their behalf, Qu Tuquan is also worried that Sun Xiangfu has no one in his eyes, so he is ready to take Li Shimin out and press him when necessary, however, now he is surprisingly cooperative, but he is a bit of a villain.
"That's right, I wonder how the wealth you have accumulated in your name will be used in the future?" As he spoke, Qu Tuquan took out a booklet from his arms and put it on the desk in front of Sun Xiangfu and said.
Sun Xiangfu picked it up and looked at it, his face suddenly became very exciting, this should be regarded as the internal information of the secret guard, the key is that if it weren't for the brochure provided by Qu Tuquan, Sun Xiangfu himself didn't know that he actually had so many industries under his name, and he made so much money, just after a rough look at the content above, Sun Xiangfu knew that all the things recorded in it were all words and substances, and they really existed.
Generally speaking, the industry under Sun Xiangfu's name is divided into five major pieces, the first one is also the most profitable one, of course, it is the industry of the Happy Village collective, although Sun Xiangfu insists on only fifty percent of the shares, but more than a dozen large factories in Weinan are open, and the annual pure profit can earn millions of yuan, and Sun Xiangfu is divided into half, which is at least more than two million yuan.
The second major plate is Weinan New Town, which is a super large real estate project, not to mention the profit from the sale of commercial housing, just the rent of the entire city's shops, factories, warehouses and other properties, which is more than one million per year, in addition, the income from providing life services for the city is also a lot, plus buried, two or three million or three, with Sun Xiangfu's shares in this project, the net profit obtained, not million, there are hundreds of thousands, among them, the appreciation of profits, can not be calculated, because, As the population becomes more dense and the business is about developed, the prices of properties and shops here will increase exponentially.
Of course, this is not a big deal in Sun Xiangfu's industry, and the Wangjianglou Hotel, which has more than 20 large branches across the country, and the soybean paste workshop invested by the original shareholders, are the third largest industrial sector under Sun Xiangfu's name.
The annual net profit of this industry is at least 5 million, and you have to ask more than 20 stores and a soybean paste workshop, why do you have such a high income?
It depends on how big the industry is after the collectivization.
Wangjianglou is definitely not just a restaurant, each of its branches, there are supporting farms, farms, and its production added value is very high.
For example, in the breeding industry in Chang'an, almost monopolized the entire chicken, duck, pig and fish seedling market, as long as the people raise these things, they will basically look for the farms under Wangjianglou to buy seedlings, and Henan Road, Hedong Road, is all provided by the farms in Luoyang Creek Village, and even, will also to Huainan, Jiangnan, and other along the canal, has been farther along the Yangtze River basin and other most parts of the country, selling the young seedlings of these poultry and livestock, making a huge profit, that is easy.
Now, even the people of the Western Regions and Indians have begun to eat a large number of various soybean sauce seasonings produced by Datang, and therefore, the soybean sauce workshop opened in Yangzhou has almost collected the soybean output in the entire Huainan region, and purchased soybeans at a low price and made them into delicious sauces, which are sold at a high price, or exported, and profitable, which is naturally not a small amount.
Sun Xiangfu personally accounts for more shares in this industry, and based on the current trading volume, the annual income is only more than two million.
As the largest owner of Shanyang, the sole shareholder of the most profitable industries in the north such as perfume, wool, leather, real estate, etc., Sun Xiangfu's annual net income in the north is at least more than three million, which is still the reason why Tang Fengyi, the big housekeeper in charge of the northern industry of Sun Mansion, handed over a fake account book that Qu Tuquan couldn't understand to him, in fact, Sun Xiangfu's annual profit in the entire northland may reach five million. It can be roughly calculated from the amount of goods traded by Hu merchants in the Western Regions in Shanyang every year.
As for the fifth major plate, it is the many industries in Lingnan that cooperate with Feng An, as well as the overseas trade sector, in this regard, it is very difficult to estimate, you can only look at what has been earned in the past, and the sum of the front and back should be more than 10 million, on average every year, at least two million, and maybe even three or four million, because the value of many things, Feng Ang himself can't calculate it clearly.
As for industries like the Yangtze River Waterway Transfer Company, which are not very profitable, Qu Tuquan is too lazy to count.
Seeing Sun Xiangfu looking at the booklet with interest, Qu Tuquan coughed and interrupted him, and said, "The many industries under your name bring you tens of millions of dollars every year, and even the taxes of the imperial court are not bad, although Your Majesty does not care about this matter, but as Your Majesty's courtier, for the stable inheritance of the Tang Dynasty, I must consider it."
A person like you, who is rich enough to rival the country, who holds great power, and who has a precedent of raising private soldiers, is more dangerous than someone like Wang Hao. ”
Every point Qu Tuquan said is a real thing, Sun Xiangfu does not deny it, even raising private soldiers, it does exist, Zhao Long and their eight hundred people earlier are Sun Xiangfu's private armies, and later expanded, reaching three thousand people, although in the battle of Goguryeo, selfless dedication to the imperial court, but this is always an unruly thing, if the ministers of the imperial court do this, after the Nuogan year, in this world, I don't know how many people are called kings, how many people are called emperors.
Li Shimin had not bothered with Sun Xiangfu before, because he knew what Sun Xiangfu was doing with these people, but if he wanted to say that he had no stalk in his heart, it might not be.
Li Shimin, who was born in the rebel faction, is more sensitive to any courtier who holds a private soldier, especially this courtier is a very popular and prestigious courtier, if Sun Xiangfu really rebelled after a hundred years, maybe the people will be biased to that side!
Therefore, what Qu Tuquan said was actually all the things that Li Shimin wanted to say, but it was difficult to say it, this was to use Qu Tuquan's mouth to beat Sun Xiangfu.
"That, Qu Tu is the leader, although the industry under my name makes money, but my investment is also large, in the past few years, I have invested millions of dollars in each of Datang's major projects, and the money has been spent to drive people's livelihood······"
"However, the money you put out will earn you more money in the future."
"That, the money earned, I will still invest it again."
"But if you invest it again, you will still make more and more money!"
All right! Talking about the economy with a person who doesn't understand the economy is really tiring, and if Sun Xiangfu told him that the country was built in his round of investment, he would definitely not understand it for a while.
Because, now he just sees Sun Xiangfu's investment in order to make money.
Sun Xiangfu wanted to tell Qu Tuquan in a simple way that after a hundred years, these properties would definitely be donated to the country and the people, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them, he was afraid that after he finished speaking, Qu Tuquan would look forward to his death.
After thinking for a while, Sun Xiangfu still decided to explain it to him clearly, and said, "Commander Qu Tu, we should look at it in another way, in the past, we Datang did not have people who could make money like me, but everyone was poor, let alone doing business and doing their own industry, even if they wanted to find a job that sold their physical strength and earned 500 wen a month, it was even more difficult."
But now it's different, they can easily find a job to make a living, create taxes for Your Majesty and the country, not only the people have benefited, but the court has also benefited, so these things I have done are actually good things that have a role in promoting the development of the country.
In addition, the imperial court is in charge of the money village, my family's financial system, it is equivalent to managing everyone's money, if you find that I hold, or someone else holds a large amount of money, is used to harm the country, in fact, you only need to take measures in the money bank, you can easily imprison the wealth of these people, just like the means I used to deal with the local family in Shannan Province, as long as the money village financial system is under the control of the imperial court, the imperial court is not afraid of who is too rich, there will be problems. ”
Hearing this, Qu Tuquan, who was not stupid, roughly understood, nodded, and said, "This question is also reasonable for what you said, then, I have another question for you, you have to kill Wang Hao with Your Majesty, is it to prevent the country from expanding outward, this is not the way of the people, and besides, didn't you advocate promoting the way of national integration and outward development?" If the territory and population of those Hu people were included in my Datang rule, wouldn't it be better to promote your claims! ”
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty and everyone have seen the development of Shanyang and Dingxiangcheng, and they think that the world is like this, this is an unrealistic assumption, real ethnic integration, is not such a simple thing, our Datang is now using more than 10 million Han people to integrate more than 10 million people of other nationalities, this has reached a limit, and even, the impact of foreign ethnic culture on our Han national culture has been great, but if you take our more than 10 million people, To integrate the hundreds of millions of people in the entire Eurasian continent, then there can only be one situation, that is, it will be integrated and digested by others.
If you look at the existing borders of my Datang, what is the culture of the rest of the countries?
They are all religious culture dominating politics, Christianity, Buddhism, and Buddhism, which control the regimes of their countries, and our culture, relatively speaking, is still too weak, only in our homeland, and they are barely playing, and it will not work if they go outside.
It needs to become stronger and more harmonious in order to have the strength to go out, and at that time, it is the time for us to continue to expand outward and integrate with other nations. ”
After Sun Xiangfu's words, Qu Tuquan was silent for a long time, and Sun Xiangfu's explanation of his question seemed to be very reasonable.
Han culture, the main body, is Confucianism, but this set of things, there is almost no aggression to the outside world, spread, certainly not as powerful as Western religion, Sun Xiangfu does not want his own culture has not been spread out to affect others, the local people of the Tang Dynasty, but this Allah, that God believes in the Western religion, in the end, let the Tang itself, also become a battlefield of religious wars.
