Chapter 796: Big Business
Xu Jingzong came to the Wei Palace, with a worried heart.
Li Tai was already waiting in the main hall.
Xu Jingzong walked in the door, hurriedly bowed forward, and said, "I've seen Your Highness." ”
"Old father-in-law, there is no need to be polite, we are all our own family, and when we come to the Wei Palace, we should return to our own home." Li Tai said with a smile.
Seeing Li Tai's enthusiasm, Xu Jingzong was even more confused.
What kind of idea did Wei Wangtai have in mind?
"Shangxiang tea!" Li Tai hurriedly asked Xu Jingzong to sit down, and a beautiful maid stepped forward and poured Xu Jingzong a cup of tea.
The aroma is pervasive.
This tea was sent by Yan Mansion, and now the largest tea merchant in the entire Tang Dynasty is Yan Mansion.
Therefore, the best tea is naturally for the emperor and Wei Wangtai.
Not even the crown prince and the king of Shu.
At this time, Li Ke was still the king of Shu, and he was the famous king of Wu in history.
It's a pity that now he hasn't made an inch, and he often does some wrong things, and now he is still King Wu.
Empress Eldest Sun is still there, and Concubine Yang is just an ordinary favored concubine.
Tea inlet.
Sweet and fragrant.
Tea is good tea, but as I drank it, I didn't know what Wei Wangtai had in mind, and I was even more apprehensive in my heart.
"I don't know why His Highness invited me here?" Xu Jingzong asked, although Li Tai said that he was not polite, but he did not dare to be polite.
"Naturally it's a good thing, a great thing, I heard, do you believe in Futu?" Li Tai asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, Futu is a manifest religion, and there are still many nobles in the Tang Dynasty who believe in Futu Ami." Xu Jingzong hurriedly said, could it be that he believed in Futu, and His Highness was angry?
"Actually, I believe in our Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable even more." He hurriedly said.
"Hahaha......" Li Tai laughed, and then said: "Old father-in-law, don't worry, don't worry, in fact, I have a business to trade with those floating butchers, or it should be said, you have a big fortune to trade with those bald heads." ”
"Me?" Xu Jingzong was shocked and puzzled.
What exactly does Your Highness mean by this?
"Come with me." Li Tai smiled, then stood up.
Striding forward.
With doubts in his head, Xu Jingzong followed closely behind.
Finally, he followed Li Tai to a room.
I opened the door and walked inside.
A room full of jewels.
One by one, shelves appeared, and on the shelves were placed many Buddha statues, some made of gold and inlaid with jewels, and some made of copper.
Every statue is lifelike.
And on the shelves there are some scriptures, some written in Chinese, and many more in Sanskrit.
Xu Jingzong walked in, and the whole person was directly stunned.
So many Buddha statues, so many scriptures.
A big room full.
What is Wei Wangtai trying to do?
"Your Highness, what are you?" Xu Jingzong was still a little confused.
Li Tai secretly rolled his eyes, Xu Jingzong, Xu Jingzong, aren't you known as the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty? Can't even understand my intentions?
No wonder you have been mixed for most of your life before you became the prime minister.
Xu Jingzong is very smart.
He, Du Rumei, Fang Xuanling and others are the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace, so it can be seen that they are not ordinary people.
But he really made his fortune in Wu Zetian's later years. He boiled his generation to death before becoming the prime minister.
However, Xu Jingzong is very greedy, lustful, and easy to control.
For money, he sold his daughter to a tribal leader on the grassland, and exiled his son to Lingnan for the sake of a woman.
Such a greedy person is not a good collaborator, but that depends.
Li Tai is now more powerful than Xu Jingzong, and Xu Jingzong knows what to choose even if he is stupid.
"Do you know who is the richest person in the entire Tang Dynasty?" The smile on Li Tai's face became even richer, these things are all money.
"Royal, naturally." Xu Jingzong said flatteringly.
"It's not." Li Tai shook his head.
The royal family is rich?
In the eyes of many people, the royal family does have money, but it is all the money of the treasury, and the emperor has to tighten his belt again every year for disaster relief, road repair, military salaries, and money.
"That'...... That's five surnames and seven hopes? Xu Jingzong asked again.
The five surnames and seven wangs are really recognized as rich people.
"It's not." Li Tai still shook his head.
"Your Highness, are you the princes?" Xu Jingzong asked. In Xu Jingzong's view, which of those princes is not wealthy?
"Not really." Li Tai smiled and said, "The really rich people are bald heads. ”
"The bald people don't have to pay taxes, and there is a large group of tenants who farm for them, and there are also a large group of pilgrims who give them incense money, they are the richest people in the entire Chang'an City, the entire Tang Dynasty, and the whole world." Li Tai sighed and said: "They are the big dogs in the legend, and if you don't kill them, you will be sorry for yourself." ”
"Your Highness, don't be rash!" Xu Jingzong couldn't help but be shocked, there were many emperors in history who destroyed Futu, but the end was very miserable.
Futu's strength is not simple, it is on an equal footing with Taoism.
Even if Li Shimin didn't dare to attack Futu, now that the Wei Wangfu wanted to deal with Futumen with his own strength, wouldn't he kill himself by hitting a stone with an egg?
"I believe that harmony makes money, what am I going to do with those people? I have no other hobby than to love peace. Li Tai smiled and said, "I want to sell these things from the Futu Gate to them." ”
"Now, aren't there many aristocrats who believe in this? The Futu had money, the nobles had money, and they had what they needed. Li Tai's eyes flashed brightly.
They are really rich!
A special prosperity is coming, and they have more money.
"Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely help you handle this matter properly~!" Xu Jingzong finally understood what Li Tai wanted to do, and he was very happy in his heart.
He's the best at it.
"For each item, you will be given a 1% commission, and how much you can earn depends on your own ability." Li Tai said that he was relieved to teach Xu Jingzong to do this matter.
The only person in the entire Datang who can do this well is Xu Jingzong.
Why?
He is a person from the court, has a reputation, and knows many high-ranking monks.
What's more, this guy is greedy for money and is as shameless as Li Tai.
He will never lose money when he does business.
A man who is greedy for money, he will never let himself suffer.
"Old father-in-law, I'm very optimistic about you." Li Taile gave Xu Jingzong a thumbs up.
Xu Jingzong was very happy.
It seems that His Royal Highness still attaches great importance to himself, and climbing on the thigh of the Wei Wangfu is the best decision he has made in this life.
Suddenly, I felt that today's sunshine has become brighter, and the whole person is full of energy.
