Chapter 42: Take the Other Way
Li Shimin left, asking Mo Shuyu to pay more attention to his safety. Now that the Wang family is weak, and there is smoke in the Tang Dynasty, if the scholars track it down, they will definitely find that the Wang family's weakness is due to him, and they will inevitably look for Mo Shuyu at that time.
"Uncle Cheng, it's the kid who is wrong, it's the kid who is too young to think things simple." Mo Shuyu is not a person who wants to die and suffer from sin, since he is wrong, he is wrong. As soon as Li Shimin left, he went back to Chengfu, and he didn't go in, just stood at the door.
"Your Majesty has talked to you?" Cheng Yanjin heard the porter say that Mo Shuyu was outside the door, and he didn't come in when he was standing, saying that he wanted to apologize. Hurried out.
Mo Shuyu didn't answer, and nodded silently.
"Why are you standing when you know you're wrong? Walk, go in and drink. "Cheng Yanjin was originally a big man, since Mo Shuyu had admitted his mistake, he let him go and didn't hang him up.
Mo Shuyu was dragged all the way into the living room by Cheng Yanjin, and looked at it, good guys, the eldest grandson Wuji and others were there again.
"Uncle Cheng doesn't invite people to drink and have fun every day?"
Cheng Yanjin ignored Mo Shuyu, walked straight to his seat, and drank wine.
Mo Shuyu saw that this group of old horsemen were sulking at me.
"Uncles, yesterday was the kid wrong, the kid is here to apologize to your uncles." Mo Shuyu picked up a glass of wine, saluted the eldest grandson Wuji and the others, and finished it in one gulp.
"The kid will have to deal with the matter of the businessmen acting as agents of high alcohol, and it is not appropriate to drink more, and I hope the uncles will understand."
Everyone in the room laughed and talked in low voices.
"Uncles, the boy is really too strong to drink. If you're drinking, you're probably going to get drunk. Mo Shuyu saw that everyone ignored him, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"Okay, in that case, let's drink it next time." Du Ruhui still had a good eye and replied to Mo Shuyu out loud.
"Just pretend to be a good person." Cheng Yanjin glared at Du Ruhui, and finally was able to get drunk with Mo Shuyu once, but everyone didn't speak, and Du Ruhui was a good person to understand.
"Rest assured, uncles, when the merchants bring the money, the uncles will not take away any of the boys who should be shared. Your Majesty also told the boy today, and the boy has thanked you here first. Mo Shuyu glanced at Du Ruhui and cast a grateful look, Du Ruhui nodded and didn't speak.
"Boy, can you still build an industrial park?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, put forward everyone's thoughts.
Although Li Shimin may have also told Mo Shuyu about the importance of the problem, Mo Shuyu has a character of revenge and a youthful heart. Everyone was really afraid that Mo Shuyu would not be able to hold his breath and would have to find trouble with the Shi clan.
"The industrial park will definitely be built, but His Majesty told the kid that this matter cannot be rushed, and it will come slowly. The boy plans to build a mold of an industrial park on his own Zhuangzi first, and then gradually build it bigger. Mo Shuyu also knew what everyone was worried about, if he insisted on going his own way, I am afraid that these old foxes would pull out.
No matter how much money they can make by supporting themselves, they won't care about themselves. The most important thing in their hearts is how to make their family inheritance longer, and there is no need to break the net with the Shi clan for money.
"Count you brat smart." Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, although if Mo Shuyu didn't know each other and insisted on going his own way, they could only pull out. Since Mo Shuyu's acquaintance has weakened his pace, why not make money?
Mo Shuyu followed a group of old horsemen to drink for a while, and then heard the subordinates of the Cheng Mansion come up to report that the merchants had come with silver money and were outside the mansion at the moment.
"Uncles, the money is here, and the boy goes first. After explaining some things, the kid is coming to talk to your uncles without getting drunk and not returning. "Mo Shuyu didn't come out after losing money, drinking with a group of old horsemen who didn't want to die, it was like looking for death.
"Master Hou, the little ones brought all the money according to your instructions, do you think about the agency?" As soon as Ma Cheng saw Mo Shuyu, he greeted him, pointed to the dozens of carriages outside the door, and asked worriedly.
After all, he is a businessman, although he listened to Mo Shuyu's words yesterday and had great hopes for this matter. But after thinking about it, this is the mansion of the demon king Cheng of the mixed world, what if these dozens of truckloads of silver money go in and people don't admit it?
A group of businessmen discussed for a long time, but in the end they couldn't let go of the attractive profits, so they had to choose to believe in the famous little fairy.
"Ship all the money in first, so that you can count it. Come with me. Mo Shuyu motioned to the porter to take someone to transport the money to the government first, and count the amount. He waved his hand and motioned for the merchants to follow him.
Mo Shuyu was not seen outside the Cheng Mansion, and went straight to the backyard with a group of businessmen who had no bottom in their hearts. The big lama sat on the chair of the master under the poplar tree.
"Master Hou, do you think it's time for us to sign a contract?" The businessmen looked at Mo Shuyu, who was resting by himself, and didn't know what to do. Ma Cheng had no choice but to lean over and ask.
"I still have a few things to tell you before signing the contract, and if you think it's okay, I'll sign a contract with you." Mo Shuyu is not rich, and this matter is also one of his plans.
"First of all, no matter where you are, you must not sell for more than three times, and no matter what price you sell, you must have a batch of cheap wine. So that the common people can also drink our wine. "Mo Shuyu also knows what the biggest weapon against the Shi clan is, which is fame. One of the reasons why the Shi clan is powerful is because 80% of the people in the Tang Dynasty were their subordinates. The second is rooted in the millennium and has a lot of fame among the people. Since he couldn't suppress the Shi clan economically, Mo Shuyu could only take another path.
Mo Shuyu didn't understand politics and didn't want to interfere, so he left this matter to Li Shimin himself. He is in charge of the prestige of the people.
What's the fastest way to gain reputation? Let it benefit the people! When the common people get good, they are naturally praised by others.
"What does Master Hou mean by this? If you have money, why don't you make money and sell it at a low price? Alcohol prices vary from state to state. In some remote areas, a jar of three pulp can be sold for dozens of times, and the agar wine is only sold for three times? "Businessmen, pursuing profits, hearing that Mo Shuyu wants to control the price of wine, they don't agree.
Mo Shuyu was not in a hurry at all, and let the businessmen make noise. He believes that even if he only sells three times, it will be dozens of times the profit, and the merchants will not give up.
"Okay, have you had enough noise, listen to what Master Hou has to say." It had to be Ma Cheng, who was the representative, figured out Mo Shuyu's intentions, and roared loudly to silence everyone. "What is Master Hou's move?"
"We have to earn money, and we have to earn reputation. If you make too much money, it's just a bunch of dead things in the treasury, so why not let the people get a good name? Mo Shuyu stood up and pointed to the people present.
"Why do the people look down on the merchants? Isn't it all because businessmen are profit-seeking, not doing good deeds? My second request is that you will get the first floor each year, and the Chamber of Commerce will come forward to build schools in various places. ”
"Master Hou, what is a school?" Ma Cheng raised everyone's questions.
"The school is a private school, but there are more students and the tuition is cheaper. Alas, it's about teaching anyway. Mo Shuyu originally wanted to explain, but when he saw everyone's confused looks, he thought it would be better to forget it.
"Okay, since that's the case, I, Ma Cheng, am the first to agree to Master Hou's request. Everyone in the world says that businessmen are profit-seeking and villains, and today I will go out and be a saint and gentleman. ”
