Anyway, they like to talk about things at the wine table.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, if you say that Luoyang's specialty, it should be the peony as the head, but unfortunately it is the cold winter wax moon, otherwise, this peony blossoms, competing for beauty, is by no means a great scene in Luoyang City." The businessman surnamed Zhang said.

"Oh? As soon as Boss Zhang said this, this king is really curious, and when the peony flowers bloom in the coming year, Xiao Wang will definitely come to Luoyang to see the grand scene of the peony flowers. Li Tai responded with a smile.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the villain heard yesterday that Liaodong is now suffering from a snow disaster, and the imperial court is preparing for disaster relief, but is there such a thing?" A businessman said.

Hearing what the businessman said, many businessmen present were stunned in their hearts, Liaodong suffered a snow disaster? Could it be that this is the purpose of His Royal Highness King Wei inviting himself and others to gather in Yunlai Tower?

Liaodong was hit by a snow disaster, and the imperial court naturally had to find a way to relieve the disaster, but His Royal Highness the King of Wei didn't stay well in Chang'an but ran to Luoyang, probably just to raise money for Liaodong.

Because of this sentence, the businessmen present also knew eight or nine points in their hearts, and looked at how Li Tai, the king of Wei, said it.

This businessman naturally didn't mention this matter for no reason, this person was a small businessman found by Du Chuke in Luoyang City, who spent some money and used some means to coerce and lure, and to be a leader and leader in today's dinner, if he didn't provoke this topic, how could Li Tai follow the pole and continue the topic.

Li Tai sighed and smiled helplessly: "Exactly, I guess everyone here is also curious about why this king is banqueting you today, but it is really for this little thing in Liaodong." ”

"Liaodong has been hit by a snow disaster, how can we help? The imperial court will definitely allocate money from the treasury for disaster relief, and if His Royal Highness King Wei has a place where he can wait for us, he is willing to do his part. The businessman surnamed Li said.

Since His Royal Highness the King of Wei has made it clear that stretching out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, it is better to say it happily, and he can also make a good impression in front of His Royal Highness King Wei, after all, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is a prince, or a prince who is favored by His Majesty today, Luoyang Chang'an is not far away, and if he can catch the Wei Wangfu in the future, it will also be a huge gain.

It is said that it is a little bit of effort, but in fact, it is also a death, which means that a small favor can help, but if it is beyond our ability to bear, then there is nothing we can do.

The merchant who Du Chuke bought off continued: "What Brother Li said is very true, Liaodong has suffered a snowstorm, and we and other merchants can't help anything else, and there is still a batch of linen cloth in my hand, about 500 horses, all of which are sold to His Royal Highness King Wei at 50% of the market price?" ”

When the merchants heard this, they were stunned, and thought that this man was going to donate five hundred sackcloth for nothing, but they did not expect to make such a suggestion.

Fifty percent of the market price, that is to say, this person sold these 500 pieces of linen, and he did not lose or earn at all

Peaks and loops, there is such a good thing? Although it is much better not to lose or make money than not to make a penny.

Hearing this, Li Tai showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then smiled embarrassedly: "This benevolent brother is righteous, but, alas~~" Li Tai sighed and said: "I'm really ashamed, in fact, this time I came to Luoyang, this king also plans to build a shed in Luoyang City to raise some materials for the people of Liaodong and the soldiers on the border, but the time is pressing, and I can only find you to find a way, this Liaodong disaster, many people in Chang'an City on Chang'an Street, spontaneously donate money and food and donations, so that the father and the emperor are happy, Straight to say that the people of my Tang Dynasty are kind-hearted, one side is in trouble and the spirit of support from all sides is commendable, and the prince's brother also rewarded ten families on the street with the name of 'supporting the army', seeing this, the king went to Luoyang to pave the way for the prince's brother, but the prince's brother will come to Luoyang in a few days, if it is only by the donations of the people of Luoyang" Li Tai wanted to speak and stopped.

When everyone heard that His Majesty had praised the people of Chang'an City today, they were already a little moved in their hearts, and they heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewarded him with the title of "Model for Supporting the Army" on the street, and they even had a small calculation in their hearts.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in Luoyang in a few days?" The businessman, surnamed Lee, asked.

"Exactly, this king walked in front of the prince's brother, just to help the prince's brother raise supplies, as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, received the materials, and then set off to Liaodong, Luoyang is rich and not lost to Chang'an, if this king is here"

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei don't have to worry, although there is still some time for His Royal Highness to collect donations from the people in Luoyang, the people are rich, but the ability is always limited, Your Highness, the villain's family is running a grain business, for the victims of Liaodong and the soldiers guarding the frontier, it is an indispensable thing, the villain will donate five hundred stones of food, if His Highness feels that it is not enough, the rest will be sold to His Highness at the market price of seventy percent, how about it?" The businessman surnamed Li said.

"Good, with Boss Li's words, Xiao Wang thanked Boss Li for his generosity for the people and soldiers of Liaodong." Li Tai said with a smile.

Five hundred stone grain, is also a lot, not to mention that Luoyang is just a transit station, if there are too many materials, for transportation, it is also a problem, such as food and other materials, the best way is actually to wait in Shandong and other places to purchase the most secure, Shandong is relatively close to Liaodong, in the transporter, you can also save some effort.

The people who were doing it listened to the businessman surnamed Li who proposed this, and they also proposed the quantity of five hundred, and the price of seventy percent, and Li Tai accepted it.

A feast for the guests.

When Li Tai and Du Chuke returned to the courtyard in Luoyang City, it was already evening, and a banquet at noon was eaten until evening, which was long enough, and after talking about letting many businessmen help Liaodong, the rest of the time was that many businessmen were stammering Li Tai, after all, a prince was backering, and these officials in Luoyang City could not catch up.

These people's ideas are the same as Xuan Shijing more than ten years ago.

There are people in the official family who are easy to do, this is an eternal iron law.

During the banquet, Li Tai drank a lot of wine, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, Du Chuke instructed his subordinates to cook some sobering soup, the climate is dry and cold in winter, and if he drinks wine, if he is a little careless at night, he will have a headache the next day, this kind of taste, it is not pleasant.

"Lao Du, the merchants of Luoyang City have all finalized, this king's trip to Luoyang can be regarded as a success, at least when the eldest brother comes to Luoyang, this king will explain to him empty-handed." Li Tai said with a smile.

"Yes, with the materials prepared by the Xuanhou over there in Chang'an City, this trip to Liaodong by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be successful." Du Chuke tightened the cloak on his body, and stirred the charcoal fire in the brazier more vigorously.

"It's not over, Lao Du, send someone to contact the local officials in Luoyang in a while, post a notice in Luoyang City tomorrow, set up a shed for fundraising, how to say what I said to those businessmen today, we should let them see our actions, otherwise they still think that this king is empty-handed white wolf with them." Li Tai commanded.

"Yes, my lord," (To be continued.) )
