When Jiao Haiqing heard this, he immediately said happily: "I knew that you would definitely have a way!" How is it not difficult? ”

Wei Renshi said: "Do you want to be an official? Or do you want to be an official businessman? ”

Jiao Haiqing was stunned.

Wei Renshi said: "The emperor now has plans to revive the Sixteen Guards, and the crown prince and the crown prince also have ambitions, and the three of them have reached an agreement on the revival of the Sixteen Guards. This means that the decision to revitalize the Sixteenth Guard will continue to be implemented. And to revive the sixteen guards, it takes a lot of investment. At present, the feudal towns have become shackles, and a lot of the tax revenue of the imperial court has been seized by the feudal towns. The court is short of money, so it needs people who can make money for the court. It's an opportunity. ”

"This ......" Jiao Haiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have a way!" ”

"Are you stupid?" Wei Renshi looked at him and said, "Isn't this me?" ”

"You ......" Jiao Haiqing said: "I'm afraid this kind of thing is not up to you." ”

Wei Renshi said: "I said naturally it doesn't count, but the green vegetables in Weinan, the glassware in the glass mill, including cement, there is a person who occupies either the first or the second place in these industries, and he is the king of Guangling County." ”

"This knows, it is the prince Chun in your mouth." Jiao Haiqing nodded and said, "Since you say so, could it be that he is the one who occupies the imperial court?" ”

Wei Renshi nodded and said, "He is not only a county king, but also the eldest son of the current crown prince and the eldest grandson of the emperor. ”

"What?!" Jiao Haiqing glared at the boss, suddenly his mouth trembled, and he said tremblingly: "What? What the?! How is that...... ......"

Wei Renshi looked at him and said, "Why are you so excited?" ”

"Excited? How can you not get excited! That's the emperor's eldest grandson! It's the future emperor's ......" Jiao Haiqing didn't finish speaking, but paused, and said: "This is naturally an excellent opportunity, but how can I become an official businessman?" ”

"The Emperor wants to form his own overseas caravansera." Wei Renshi opened his mouth and said: "What is not known to the courtiers is his own private caravan." ”

Jiao Haiqing heard Wei Renshi say this, and he understood it after thinking about it.

He said to Wei Renshi, "Do you want me to run this caravan?" ”

"The Emperor will definitely not run the affairs of the caravan himself." Wei Renshi said as a matter of course: "I have too many things to do, so naturally I won't run to do it myself." ”

"I just don't know if I can ......" Jiao Haiqing frowned and said: "Although my family's main business is to run maritime merchants, in fact, most of the maritime affairs are presided over by my Aye. ”

"No, you can't learn." Wei Renshi said: "Hehe, maybe you will also become the governor of one party in the future?" ”

"Governor?" Jiao Haiqing said: "The imperial court has this official position? ”

Wei Renshi smiled and didn't explain, but said something else: "Think about it, since it is the emperor's fleet, it must use the best sea ships and collect the best talents, who dares to make things difficult all the way?" Moreover, I have already told your Majesty that the shares are to be used as a reward for presiding over the maritime fleet. This is a rare opportunity. ”

Jiao Haiqing naturally understands the benefits, but he also has some concerns.

"Brother Renshi, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, if I presided over this fleet for the royal family, then I would also be the one who served the emperor. But you also know that I'm also a loose guy, if I offend Long Yan at any time, I ......"

"The emperor is actually not so difficult to get along with. As long as you are honest and have no second thoughts, there will be no problems. Wei Renshi said: "Moreover, I also told you before that building a maritime merchant fleet is not something that can be done in a short period of time, so I first cooperated with your caravan, while opening up the sales channels of goods first, and at the same time learning how to build a maritime merchant fleet." When you are almost finished, you will definitely form your own overseas caravan. This fleet was the emperor's private merchant fleet. If you are in charge, it will be even more blessed, and it will definitely be conducive to the formation of the fleet. The successful formation of the fleet was a credit in the eyes of the emperor. ”

"But naturally, I'm just telling you about this, if you really want to stay in Chang'an City, you can try to take this path. If you don't want to, there's nothing. Wei Renshi said again.

"It's a rare opportunity. I'll do it! Jiao Haiqing suddenly opened his mouth and said.

Wei Renshi had long known that Jiao Haiqing looked lazy on weekdays, but he was very decisive when he encountered something. Seeing him agree so decisively, he smiled again: "Okay! After you Aya comes to Chang'an and the caravan cooperation is negotiated, you can start to set up the caravan. Whatever you need, just tell me. ”

Wei Renshi is still very confident now.

In terms of money, now Yimenglou has become another giant in Luoyang City to compete with Huachun Building, and the daily income is very considerable. Coupled with the winery business, these two items alone have a huge annual income. In addition, the street market by the Luoyang River embankment, half of which are the industry of Yimenglou, is naturally Wei Renshi's industry.

With these as support, Wei Renshi can do a lot of things now.

In addition, the formation of a caravan was a matter that Li Shi approved, so he would naturally get Li Shi's support.

With these conditions, the biggest problem in forming a caravan is actually the operation and management of the caravan.

And Jiao Haiqing's family is mainly a maritime businessman, and under his own influence, he must be stronger than others. What's more, Wei Renshi didn't believe that his family would not support him vigorously after hearing about this incident.

It is very likely that even the people in the original Jiao family's maritime merchant caravan will be directly assigned to Jiao Haiqing.

The profits of overseas caravans are too great, just look at the Hu merchants since ancient times.

The sooner this profit is saved, the faster it can be used where it needs to be used-Sixteen Guards, as well as the Capital Ordnance Supervisor.

By reinvigorating the Sixteen Guards, you will get an army under your control. Through the capital's armament supervision, the equipment was innovated, so that this army could far surpass the combat effectiveness of other armies.

If this thing is done, then what are you afraid of?

There is just one thing that needs to be sober, and that is that you must not be the leader of this army.

Emperor Gain was absolutely unwilling to see that the wolf had not been driven away, but that he had raised another tiger.

Unless the tiger is controlled by the emperor alone.

But Wei Renshi, as an outsider, even if he doesn't have two hearts, once he controls this force, he will definitely arouse suspicion.

That's why Wei Renshi pushed Li Chun to the front and skimmed himself off.

If Li Chun was the leader of this army, then this problem would not exist.

Because Li Shi and Li Yu have only been around for more than a year at most. In the future, this Tang Dynasty will be Li Chun's after all.

In the final analysis, Wei Renshi never wanted to compete with the emperor for power, and that would be too troublesome.

He just wants to be a behind-the-scenes promoter, pushing the emperor, letting him make this Tang Dynasty better, and he can be at ease.
