Chapter 1599: The First Join-up
Li Chengqian didn't know how the Japanese people left in the end, and Li Chengqian didn't want to care about where they went, in short, after giving them an ultimatum, Xiao Li went back to the study, and at the same time ordered people to recruit the old men of several major families to the mansion.
Half an hour later, the old men came one by one, they didn't know what Li Chengqian wanted to do, why he suddenly wanted to see them.
But the current Li Chengqian is not something they can provoke, and the calf is not in a hurry at this moment, with the idea of testing what his purpose is, several old men unexpectedly arrived.
β¦β¦
"His Royal Highness King Qin, I don't know if we were summoned this time, but is there something wrong?" The old man of the Cui family was the first to speak after he sat down, expecting to hear the outcome he wantedβthe issue of the right to buy tractors and bulldozers.
But what disappointed him was that Li Chengqian didn't have such an idea, and even if he did, it was after he got rid of the Japanese state.
So after Xiao Li ordered someone to serve tea, he sat quietly until the tea came before he slowly spoke: "I called you over this time to discuss how to make a fortune." β
Rich? Several old men glanced at each other, they had heard these words from Li Chengqian's mouth more than once, but every time they nodded in agreement, the last beneficiary was His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
is the so-called long lesson of loss, are these old men really stupid enough to be fooled again and again?
Li Chengqian saw that the old men didn't speak, nor were they embarrassed, but just took a sip of tea slowly, and then continued: "You all know that this king has been doing business with the Wa Kingdom, right? β
A few old men nodded, this kind of thing may be able to hide from others, but for these old foxes of this family, it is not a secret.
"Then you should know that there is a lot of silver in the Wa Kingdom, right?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.
Several old men continued to nod.
"Want to either?"
Reflexive nodding.
Li Chengqian suddenly laughed, which made several old men look embarrassed.
But soon, the smile on Xiao Li's face was retracted, and he said in a deep voice: "The Wa Kingdom is now in chaos, and the infighting has consumed almost all of their national strength, and even some remnants of Goguryeo and Silla they can't deal with. β
The eyes of several old men lit up instantly, but they quickly regained their composure, and after a pause, they asked tacitly, "What does Your Highness mean?" What do we need to do? β
"You send people, I send equipment and warships, and everyone goes to the Japanese country to make a big profit, how about it?" Li Chengqian didn't go around in circles with the old men, and said bluntly.
"Hehe......" The old men suddenly laughed, and after glancing at each other, they said: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, where do we have people, and it is useless to fight in the family and nursing home." β
The family has the calculations of the family, and they know very well that if they go to the Wa Kingdom to fight, it will not work without tens of thousands of people, and if they nod their heads now, it is enough to show that they have enough armed forces in their family, which is not a good thing for them.
Li Chengqian knew very well what they were thinking, and was silent for a while before he said slowly: "I know very well what you are worried about, but this kind of thing is not known to those who conceal it, in fact, even if you don't expose this power, don't others know?" β
"Just like now, if I knew you had the means, how could I have invited you to be a part of this?"
No one spoke, and a group of people sat quietly after listening to Li Chengqian's words, considering the truth of his words.
The old man was very worried about whether it would cause bad consequences if he exposed the power in the family now, and what to do if everything Li Chengqian did was just to lure them in.
And just at this moment, Li Chengqian spoke again: "I don't know what you are hesitating about, but I can tell you for sure that the private armed forces must be disarmed, and this plan will begin in the next few years, you don't think that you can really fight against the entire Tang Dynasty, right?" β
"His Royal Highness King Qin, what does this mean? The old man didn't understand. Li Chengqian's words made several old men feel awe-inspiring, but they were very stubborn and didn't want to admit the fact that they were armed in their hands.
"You can think about this after you go back." Li Chengqian waved his hand, signaling the old men not to continue to worry about this matter, and then said endlessly: "What we want to study now is to go to the Japanese country to make a fortune, make a fortune, and make a fortune of more than one million yuan per family. β
The old men could hardly believe their ears, a million-dollar family? If you really have that much money, it seems that it is not too much of a problem to hand over all these people in your hands.
In these years, people are not very valuable, and these families in Chang'an are added together, and they still have the ability to make up 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people are only about 4,000 per family on average.
Four thousand people sell one million taels of silver, and each person can sell an average of twenty-five taels, what could be more cost-effective?
Besides, didn't Li Chengqian just say that Datang will soon rectify the private army, and even if these people are not sent out now, they will probably be dismissed in the future, so it is better to sell them all before this.
After having such a plan, the thoughts of the old men began to come alive, and the old guy of the Zheng family asked with a hint of uncertainty: "Is what Your Highness said true?" Is it really that easy to conquer? If it's ...... in case. β
"There is no case, as long as you nod your head, we can set up a volunteer army, and as long as the personnel are in place, we can immediately send troops to the country. It's not like you haven't seen those little dwarfs, when we start a war, I'm afraid that one of our Datang people can beat more than a dozen of them. Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"But how is Your Majesty going to explain it?" Speaking about the patriarch of the Li clan of Zhao County, this old man has always been a supporter of Li Chengqian, and the reason why he asked like this is just to play a funny role.
"Father, naturally, I will say that if you have the heart, you just need to go back and arrange manpower, just wait for the spring of the next year, and we will send people to set off immediately." The corners of Li Chengqian's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a sneer: "The Japanese have taken too much advantage from us, and it's time to repay the debt." β
Speaking of which, the old fellows naturally had nothing to say, and after sitting for a while, they said goodbye and left, and each went home to ponder the feasibility of this matter.
After all, it is a major matter about millions of silver coins, and it is also related to the existence of private soldiers in the clan, which cannot be ignored by them.
