In the royal warm pavilion, Li Yun was chatting with the emperor, and beside the small stove not far away, Cheng Chuxue and Linglong were competing for the errand of boiling water.

On the side of the stove, Empress Changsun was holding an account book and a pen, and Concubine Yang was fiddling with the calculations next to her, constantly reporting the numbers to the queen one by one.

The two of them counted one by one, and suddenly Empress Changsun raised her head and said with some dissatisfaction: "In the past few days, the income has deteriorated!" ”

Concubine Yang followed up and said hurriedly: "Especially yesterday, the current price of Cordyceps did not increase. ”

Making money is too ruthless, and it is easy to breed people's greed, and the dignified Tang Queen and Concubine Zheng actually began to complain about the profits.

It's very unreasonable to complain.

Just because the current price of Cordyceps has not increased, in their mouths, it has become a worse income, and the co-authors must increase the price every day, and in their hearts, they can be regarded as making money......

It's all been fed by profiteering business.

Li Yun was pouring wine for the emperor at this time, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Why did the two elders say this?" We made a whopping eight million in four months. ”

Empress Eldest Sun hammered her pantothenic waist, glared at him and said, "Little hairy child, if you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, how can eight million be enough?" Hongu wants to earn 10 million. It's a pity that I don't know why, why did the last two million pieces become so difficult? ”

I was very suspicious when I said it, but I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Li Yun smiled and gave her popular science: "This is called market saturation, also known as the fading of heat, let me make an analogy, there is so much total wealth in the world, and those who can afford to eat Cordyceps are always the top people." During this period of time, we have shipped violently, and we have exhausted all the accumulated wealth of hoarders, so the increase in revenue will stop, and even the price of Cordyceps may have to fall. ”

The eldest grandson was suddenly a little worried, and couldn't help but say, "Are you saying that this business can't be done in the future?" ”

"That's not ......"

Li Yun shook his head and comforted her: "When the merchants disperse all over the world, and then sell out the survival in their hands, they will inevitably come back to purchase at that time, and then they will have more assets in their hands, because they sold Cordyceps at a higher price, and the principal plus profits will definitely be thicker than now." ”

The eldest grandson was very anxious, and asked again, "How long do you estimate?" ”

Li Yun pondered, and said uncertainly: "The businessmen who do business in Fan Yang come from different regions, the farthest is even from the desert country in the west of the Western Regions, there are five thousand miles from Fan Yang to their hometown, and it will take more than half a year just to travel, plus their sales time, plus the time of their return, the next time they come again, it may be a year later." ”

Empress Eldest Sun was visibly disappointed.

At this time, I suddenly heard Li Shimin speak slowly, and said lightly: "Five months, I bet they will come back in five months." ”

Li Yun was slightly stunned.

Li Shimin chuckled slowly, and said lightly: "Yesterday, the Hundred Horsemen Division reported that this group of businessmen actually bought two Dawan BMWs with blood, and this horse is very good at trekking, and it won't take a month to travel five thousand miles." If they dare to fight, they will definitely work tirelessly to hurry, two months is enough to go back and forth, and within five months they will come back. ”

Li Yun nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It takes a month to go back and forth, three months to sell Cordyceps, and five months is really plenty of time, so I don't know if these businessmen are far away." ”

Li Shimin smiled faintly, and suddenly threw over a secret fold for Li Yun to see, and said: "Take a look for yourself, this is the report of the Hundred Cavalry Division, that group of businessmen are almost in a hurry, they have arrived in Zhangye City yesterday, it took only seven days, and they walked 1,200 miles in seven days......"

Li Yun was stunned and said, "This is a death, right?" ”

Li Shimin was not surprised, and said in a flat tone: "Wealth is moving, and it has been the same since ancient times. When the amount of money is a certain amount, you can't imagine how crazy people are. ”

At this time, Concubine Yang suddenly spoke, looked at Li Shimin cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, when you said this, the concubine suddenly remembered a strange thing. It was said that an elderly man of the Zheng family in Xingyang suddenly fainted, and he couldn't be cured after asking for a good remedy, and finally the Zheng family took out a thousand-year-old ginseng that suppressed the treasury to save the elder's life. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said in a soft tone: "In the past few days, this matter has been spreading, in addition to the story of Xingyang Zheng's use of ginseng to save his life, there are many similar magical allusions on the street, the concubine's maidservant says in my ear every day, and the concubine is simply annoyed to hear it......"

Actually, where would she be annoyed?

It's just a little woman's cleverness.

Concubine Yang's words obviously implicitly implied, this concubine was born in the Great Sui royal family, and she is superior in both knowledge and wisdom.

Li Shimin is such a character, he understands this hint as soon as he hears it, but when he saw the emperor's tiger eyes flashing, he said in a calm tone: "It seems that someone wants to emulate King Zhao, this is obviously trying to hype up ginseng, hum, it is very similar to learning, and it also starts with a magical story......

Li Yun smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Learn and learn, I have long known that this hand will be learned, there are so many smart people in the world, and my method of operating Cordyceps is not too profound." ”

The eldest grandson was very unhappy and said: "This is your original ability, how can it be learned by others, no, this matter can't be just settled, we must strictly investigate and find out who is behind this matter." ”

Li Yun waved his hand again and again, and said: "You must not be like this, otherwise you will be laughing and generous, since ancient times, the dispute between business and Taoism has been a matter of different tactics, there has never been a precedent for strong suppression, even if it is suppressed, there is no possibility of success, there are so many people in the world, do you want to arrest all the effective imitators?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun glared at him angrily and said, "This palace is sorry that the method you pioneered was learned." ”

Li Yun smiled and said, "Xuebei, I don't care." ”

At this time, Li Shimin groaned and said, "Ginseng is also a valuable thing, and those who can afford it must be a wealthy family, if those people are allowed to speculate on ginseng, will it affect the auction income of Cordyceps......"

"No!"

Li Yun smiled again, and said confidently: "Not only will it not affect the income of Cordyceps, on the contrary, it will also complement each other, they want to speculate on ginseng, they must use our trading center, the greater the influence of the trading center, the higher our market share......"

Some of these words came from later generations, and Li Shimin was obviously a little struggling to listen to them, and the emperor pondered for a long time before he slowly understood the doorway.

Li Yun saw that he suddenly realized, and then continued: "Actually, their hype of ginseng is also an opportunity for us, just so that we can make a windfall, by the way, I also want to leave a lesson for these people, if you want to learn the skill, you can't pay the tuition." ”

The emperor's eyes flickered, and he vaguely grasped Li Yun's hint, and said, "Charge tuition?" How much are you going to receive? ”

Li Yun smiled leisurely, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "Without a few millions, how can you be worthy of their identity?" If you don't have a few millions, how can you beat them up at once, hehe, you want to learn my skills, are my skills so easy to learn? Since they don't come to apprenticeship, let them break their wealth and bleed. ”

These words were full of confidence, and the emperor and Empress Yang were stunned for a moment, and Cheng Chuxue next to the stove was still fighting with Linglong, but these two girls didn't care to listen.

Li Shimin groaned for a while, hesitated and guessed: "Could it be that you want to use the trading center to suppress and refuse to put them up for auction here?" This is a very clever plan, which is tantamount to taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle. ”

Li Yun sneered, and said helplessly: "Why can't I see the bottom of the kettle?" Instead, do you think it's laissez-faire? Second uncle, you don't want to think about it, if you don't let them enter the trading center, how can we control the price of ginseng at all times? If you don't let them enter the trading center, what if people go directly to other places to speculate? ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I'm really old, and I can't even think of such a simple thing." ”

Li Yun didn't take this stubble, and continued: "In my opinion, not only can we not refuse their hype, but we have to help hype together, he fries and lets him fry, let's do ...... behind our backs."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "If my guess is correct, these people must have begun to buy ginseng on a large scale, and only by controlling all the ginseng can they make a huge profit after the speculation." In this case, let's keep up, it just so happens that we have made a lot of money during this period of time, and we will take out millions to collect ginseng. ”

Li Shimin hesitated a little, and suddenly said with deep meaning: "Liaodong ginseng, Liaodong ginseng, those who dare to hype this thing must have the shadow of the family and Goguryeo, if we collect ginseng at a high price, wouldn't it make these people make a profit in vain." ”

Li Yun comforted him and said: "Second uncle, rest assured, these people can't make a bargain, they want to speculate on ginseng, but they don't have pricing power, so they must use the trading center to conduct an auction, and then buy it back at a high price, only through this trick of selling and buying themselves, they can continue to raise the transaction price of ginseng, hehe, this is our opportunity, they pull up, we ship, they pull up, let's ship again, let's ship again......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then said: "If they can't bear it and want to stop, then we immediately start sweeping the goods with great fanfare, because they have spent a lot of money to hype ginseng, they must not want someone to share the market, our sweeping move will force not to stop, can only grit their teeth and continue to raise the price of ginseng, let's not be too greedy, see them pull the price and immediately sell, so three or five times, these people will inevitably be angry, but we resolutely do not fight with them head-on, The blunt knife cuts the flesh and slowly plays with them. ”

"It's not right, it's not right!"

Li Shimin was still a little hesitant, and said in a deep voice: "There is a premise for your strategy, that is, we ourselves have to receive a batch of low-cost ginseng as support, but the lord of Goguryeo is also a generation of heroes, and if you want to buy ginseng in Liaodong, I am afraid that we will not be able to hide it." ”

Li Yun chuckled and said, "There is ginseng in Liaodong, but there is no ginseng in other places?" For example, in the north of Goguryeo, there are thousands of miles of vast fields, high mountains and dense forests, and trees are 10,000 years old. Previously, my trading center auctioned ginseng, and the leader of those participants was the young patriarch of the Black Water Spirit. I became brothers with him directly, and asking him to buy some ginseng was equivalent to sponsoring him. ”

Li Shimin looked at him deeply, and suddenly said with a smile: "The Tubo merchant Jia is swearing to you, and the young patriarch of the Yan Dynasty is also swearing to you, stinky boy, how many people are you going to worship." ”

Li Yun showed a mouthful of white teeth, and grinned: "I am the king of Tang Zhao, they are the vassal kings of various countries, as long as they are well-behaved, I will buy a street, if they are not obedient, they will be beaten down, hehehe, there are dozens of countries around our Datang, I am ready to find a sworn brother in each country......"

Li Shimin laughed, pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, your appetite is bigger than mine." If you can do this, you will be more powerful than the emperor of me. ”

Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and he said with a serious face: "Let it go, I hope you can succeed, our Li family can only produce one emperor in the generation, and that kid from Chengqian seems to be suitable at present, so this throne can't be passed on to you, if you want to ascend to the sky, you have to fight yourself......"

Li Yun pretended to smile and changed the topic: "I'll just mix a wife and children with a hot kang head, being an emperor can exhaust people to death when they are tired, how good it is to make money, rich is a father." ”

Father?

This word was not available in ancient times, and Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

Li Yun hurriedly explained: "Dad is my mantra, similar to the meaning of a cow fork. ”

As a result, the word ox fork did not exist in ancient times.

He scratched his head, pondered and explained, "It's just a dick." ”

Li Shimin nodded solemnly, as solemn as an oath, and said, "Okay, I will allow you to dick." ”

Poof!

Li Yun almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
