Chapter 350: Interest and Integrity
Su Ren's recital was placed in front of Liu Che, Liu Che wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh, scratching his head: "Su Ren, this is five million money!" Not fifty dollars! β
"The minister knows!"
"Then do you know how much my big man pays in a year?"
"Counting the grain, rice and silk, there should be 10 million dollars!"
"And you want so much? I have already calculated that it costs a million to build Taixue, can you tell me how you are going to spend the five million? β
Han Yan looked at Su Ren gloatingly: "Su Yilang, I remember, you promised Your Majesty that you wouldn't let Your Majesty pay for this Taixue, why did you come to ask for money again at this time?" There are so many, the crime of bullying the king is to destroy the nine clans! β
Su Ren ignored Han Yan and said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, I built Taixue differently from others, according to the site of Taichang, there are still more than 100 households and dozens of shops in the location of Taixue, if these people are not settled, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble, so the minister will buy their houses by paying money, and also rebuild the surrounding area of Taixue, so that five million dollars is not enough."
"The minister has probably calculated, if it is to be completed, it will take 10 million money, that is, the tax that Your Majesty said about my Han Dynasty for a year, the minister and several businessmen can come up with 5 million money, and there is really no way to leave the remaining 5 million money, so I will reach out to Your Majesty."
"Ten million dollars, you're crazy!" Han Yan was also taken aback: "Those untouchables are driven away directly, and they will also be given money subsidies, and Dahan has never had such a thing." β
"It's because there isn't that it's more so!" Su Ren glared at Han Yan: "Your Majesty's ascension to the throne is still short, and it is the time when you need to gather the hearts of the people, Your Majesty should have heard the story of "Feng Yuanke Meng Weijun", Your Majesty does not lack anything now, what is lacking is the people's hearts." β
Feng Yuan's guest Meng Shanjun tells the story of Meng Yanjun and his guest Feng Yuan in the Spring and Autumn Period. As one of the four gentlemen, Meng Weijun is also the prime minister of Qi State, and he likes to raise guests the most. The purpose is very simple, that is, to help yourself at a critical time, and it is the same as the rooster and dog thief.
Meng Weijun raised 3,000 customers, and he thought of a method that was very in line with the management of later generations, and divided these people into upper, middle, and lower three. The first-class doorman has big fish and meat every day, and there is a car when he goes out; Medium-sized customers can eat fish and vegetables every day; The only thing that the inferior customers eat every day is vegetables.
Feng Yuan is also one of Meng Weijun's protΓ©gΓ©s, this person doesn't do anything all day, and he likes to shout the most. Meng Tanjun didn't pay much attention to him, and the servants at home saw Meng Tanjun ignoring Feng Tan, thinking that the master looked down on Feng Tan, and all of them entertained Feng Tan as a guest at the same time.
One day, Meng Weijun sent Feng Tan to Xue Di to collect debts. Feng Xuan asked Meng Weijun, what do you buy to come back after collecting debts? Meng Weijun said casually: "You can buy what I see if I am missing." β
When Feng Xuan arrived in Xuedi, he saw that the debtors were all poor households, and immediately announced the cancellation of the debts in the name of Meng Weijun, and burned all the debt contracts of each household. Meng Weijun saw Feng Xuan and asked him what he had bought for himself? Feng Xuan said: "If you want money and money, if you want women and women, I will buy some "benevolence" for you and come back." At this time, Meng Weijun knew that Feng Xuan had forgiven Xue Di's debts in his name for a long time, and he was angry and angry, but the contract was burned, and he was very helpless.
Later, Meng Weijun was deposed by the king of Qi, and there was no place in Qi State, and under the walls everywhere, only the people of Xue were willing to take Meng Wanjun in. Meng Weijun was very grateful to Feng Xuan for his original decision, and it became a good story for the ages.
"Nonsense!" Han Yan can be regarded as on the same par with Su Ren: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and it is the heaven of the people of the Han Dynasty, and it is too late for the people to love Your Majesty, so they still need to win the hearts of the people in the world?" Joke! β
Su Ren shook his head, he really had nothing to say about this Han Yan. Arrogance, arrogance, and brainlessness are the best descriptions of him. Su Ren said: "Your Majesty thinks that your Majesty's merits are better than those of Emperor Xian and Emperor Xiaowen?" β
Liu Che shook his head: "It's not as good!" β
Su Ren continued: "Xiaowen and Xiaojing, the two first emperors, during their reigns, carried out loose policies for the benefit of the people, and the people were all grateful to Dade, even so, there was a rebellion of the seven kings, and Chang'an was almost not guaranteed, and now the princes in the east are still eyeing each other, Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and for the people, both prestige and psychology are not as good as the two emperors, if there is another rebellion of the seven kings, Your Majesty is really sure that it will be a success!" β
"Can't!"
"Therefore, what Your Majesty lacks most now is the people's heart, and building Taixue is a good opportunity, and spending a little money can consolidate Your Majesty's position, why not? What's more, the minister also said in the compromise, this investment is not without returns, if the operation is good, five or six times the return can still be guaranteed. β
"What if you lose it?" Han Yan interjected again.
Su Ren was a little angry, he didn't like this Han Yan very much from the beginning, whether it was talking or doing things. What I hate the most is actually Han Yan's appearance, a good man, who looks like a woman, Su Ren has guessed many times in his heart, this Han Yan may have been to Sukhothai in Funan, that is, Thailand in the Han Dynasty.
glared at Su Ren and kowtowed to Liu Che again: "If Your Majesty is unwilling, Weichen can borrow it!" Borrow five million money from Your Majesty, and use the two trade routes in Shu as collateral, if you can't pay it back within five years, the two trade routes will belong to Your Majesty! β
Han Yan sneered: "Everything in the world belongs to His Majesty, and your two trade routes are also Your Majesty's, which are Your Majesty's things, and it seems inappropriate to use them as collateral, right?" β
Su Ren was about to reach the peak of his anger, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. Han Yan had a smug smile, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she looked at Su Ren happily. Liu Che waved his hand: "These two trade routes were opened up by Su Ren, and Yelang and the Qiang people were dealing, his people were more suitable, if I sent people to there would not be such a good result, are you really willing to use those two trade routes as collateral?" β
Su Ren nodded: "Although my two business routes are not long, and the production is not much, there are seven or eight hundred thousand yuan of income every year, if the business is good, maybe more, if I continue to develop, I will naturally make more profits, and it will not take five years to recover the money that Your Majesty lent me today." β
Han Yan interjected again: "As much as you say?" Even if you go to the pawnshop, you have to lower the price! β
Su Ren finally became angry and glared at Han Yan: "I am talking to Your Majesty, you are just a scholar in the middle school, and you don't respect Your Majesty's will to interject indiscriminately, what do you mean?" β
Han Yan glared: "As a member of the Zhongshu House, I can't watch Your Majesty being deceived by your clever tongue!" β
"Deception? What did I lie to Your Majesty? I'm willing to give millions of dollars to build Taixue, but what about you? In addition to fanning the flames in His Majesty's ears, what else have you done, I heard that the Han family is also wealthy, I don't know how much money the people of the Zhongshu House are willing to take to support Your Majesty? β
"You!" Han Yan was speechless for a while.
Su Ren said coldly: "There is such a saying in Chang'an City, bitter hunger and cold, chasing gold pills, it is said that there are more than ten gold pills lost in Chang'an City every day, and there are thousands of dollars, since you use so much money to have fun with the beggars on the street, why didn't you give your majesty some and let your majesty build Taixue?" β
Han Yan's face was swollen and red. Liu Che smiled: "Okay, don't quarrel, five million money is not too much, I lend it to you, as for your two business roads, I don't want it, I just hope that the five million money will be spent where it should be spent!" β
Su Ren was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to give a salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" He took out the IOU from his bosom and held it in both hands.
The palace man took it and put it on Liu Che's desk. Liu Che unfolded it with a smile, read it carefully, and wondered: "What does this interest mean?" β
Su Ren said: "Your Majesty lent money to Weichen, and Weichen didn't dare to take it in vain, and was willing to compensate for an extra 50,000 yuan a year, and the loan period was five years, that is to say, after five years, the minister was willing to repay His Majesty 250,000 more money, as Your Majesty's trust in the minister!" β
"There is only a precedent for this!"
"It's from the minister! Your Majesty's money is also the worship of the people of the world, since the minister promised His Majesty not to spend a penny to build Taixue, he can't break his word, His Majesty lent money to Weichen, it is Your Majesty's trust, and the minister can't live up to this trust. β
Liu Che smiled and nodded: "Okay!" I take your love! Sealed! β
There are three IOUs in total, one each for Su Ren and Liu Che, and one for Tai Shiling for preservation. As a guarantor, Taishi Ling Sima Tan was called in. Liu Che finished talking to Sima Tan about Su Ren and his IOU, and asked Sima Tan to sign. Sima Tan thought for a long time and signed the IOU with a smile on his face. At the end, kneeling and kowtowing to Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, Su Gongzi Xinnuo, Your Majesty is very affectionate, and after the minister returns, he will definitely write this matter into the history books for future generations to learn!"
Liu Che smiled: "This is just a trivial matter, is it really as good as Tai Shiling said?" β
Sima Tan is more than half a hundred years old, his beard is gray, and he nodded again and again: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, the world is based on faith, although this IOU is small, you can see the letter between Your Majesty and Su Gongzi, a silk silk is as light as a feather, every word on it is a promise from Your Majesty and Su Gongzi, how can the minister not congratulate Your Majesty!" β
Liu Che shook his head: "Congratulations, congratulations!" You can keep it, if Su Ren can't pay me back, when I punish him, you have to testify to me! β
Leaving the palace, Su Ren let out a sigh of relief. His plan is very big, and so far only four people know about it, and even Emperor Liu Che is vague. Every real estate developer has a strong consortium as the backing, and he not only has the consortium but also the Han government to rely on. Although Liu Che's five million money is borrowed and needs to be repaid in the end, with these five million money, even if the emperor's name is there, there is a great guarantee for his future actions.
turned over on the white horse, Su Ren raised his whip: "Let's go, go find Dongfang Shuo, our plan has begun!" β
Seeing Su Ren leave happily, Han Yan's brows were furrowed like twisted flowers. He didn't like Su Ren, he didn't like it from the first sight, this person was too smart, and he was very good at thinking about the emperor's thoughts. He Han Yan has been in the palace since he was a child, and he has been accompanying the emperor all the time, and he has gained a lot from the emperor over the years, and he must not let his hard work be in vain because of this Su Ren.
knocked off the cups on several cases with one palm, and asked the cronies beside him with a dark face: "Is the letter from Princess Guantao still there?" β
