Chapter 43: The Art of Slaying the Dragon

In the private room on the second floor of the "Meiyaya" store in Dongshi, Li Bao, Li Ying, Ling'er and others were sorting out the articles of association and other materials of the Shanhe Society. These charters are the foundation for the establishment of the Shanhe Society, and only when the regulations are complete, can there be rules to follow in the future operation, and Li Baoshen cannot manage trivial matters in the palace all the time. It is necessary to make the rules and regulations more detailed, so that the operation of the proprietor's association can be easier and more convenient.

While he was busy, Zhao Qiancheng came to report that the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion brought someone to send money. Li Baoxin said: This Wei Baoheng is really refreshing, and he sent the money so soon.

Zhao Qiancheng invited people up, he personally greeted him at the staircase, and after a while, Li Bao saw an old man about sixty years old, with a childish face and a demeanor of self-esteem, and a temperament that was not angry and self-imposing. Li Baoxin said: The housekeepers of the prime minister's family have all practiced an official portrait, which is really difficult to underestimate the extraordinary power of the Wei family.

Li Bao is also not self-conscious, and he wants to salute first. The housekeeper didn't dare to accept Li Bao's salute when he saw it, so he hurriedly stopped Li Bao and took the initiative to salute: "A certain family is the chief housekeeper of Wei Mansion, and today he was entrusted by the head of the family, Wei Xianggong, to hand over the shares to Lang Jun. ”

Li Bao said to Uncle Gen: "I'm tired of driving, please sit down, and someone will serve refreshments." The guest and the host sat down to taste the tea, and then Li Bao asked Uncle Gen for his name.

Li Bao is the prince, Uncle Gen didn't dare to hold it up, so Li Bao also called him Uncle Gen, so he said: "A certain is called Wei Shigen, and the people in the Wei Mansion give the old man a face, and they are all called Uncle Gen." Lang Jun can be called a certain Wei steward. ”

Li Bao said according to his words: "Wei Xianggong is really a believer, he just came the morning before, and he sent you to send the stock money to the back foot." ”

Uncle Gen said: "When the prime minister returns home, he will ask someone to send it to Lang Jun, for fear of misleading Lang Jun's affairs." ”

Li Baoxin said: Wei Baoheng is afraid that his brother will regret it. thought so in his heart, but he still smiled and said: "Steward Wei has come recently, just to go back to the constitution of the proprietor's association, let Wei Xianggong take a look, and after all the proprietors have seen it, after unified consultation, the proprietors of the Shanhe Society will hold a meeting, and it will be officially approved, and the proprietors' association will be officially established." ”

Li Bao asked Ling'er to bring a copy of the copied charter and handed it to Uncle Gen.

Uncle Gen took the articles of association, didn't read it, hesitated for a moment, and said to Li Bao: "I heard that Lang Jun established the Shanhe Society and absorbed shareholders into the shares, I don't know if this proprietor's association is full?" ”

When Li Bao heard this, he said in his heart: Could this housekeeper also have a huge amount of money in secret? And he and Wei Baoheng are not of the same mind, Wei Baoheng's life is not long, this Wei housekeeper is also in a hurry to send money to his brother, how can his brother refuse.

Immediately said: "Does Steward Wei also have the heart to participate in this Shanhe Society?" It's just that now that the first round of share expansion has ended, if Steward Wei wants to buy shares, he must be the same as Wei Xianggong, and double the share capital to buy a seat. What does Steward Wei think? ”

Uncle Gen said: "No problem, I have already brought 'flying money' today." Lang Jun, please check! As he spoke, Uncle Gen took out two pieces of ephedra paper from his sleeve and handed them to Li Bao.

Li Bao took the "flying money" from Uncle Gen and looked at it carefully. Xindao: This is the paper and money of the Tang Dynasty.

The paper is not large, half the size of an A4 sheet. Only one side is printed with a pattern. The pattern is the style of copper coins, printed along the four sides of ephedra paper, Li Bao carefully looked at the patterns of these copper coins, basically different, some are missing corners, some are front, and some are reverse.

Li Baoxin said: These patterns should be used to prevent counterfeiting, and the upper part of the "flying money" is written with a black brush: In addition to Sichuan, Xu is in charge of public and private affairs in Daozhou County and sees the money 10,000 times in circulation. The bottom half of "Flying Money" is a shopping pattern, and the characters in the picture are lifelike and expressive. On the ephedra paper, there is also the seal of the acceptance merchant: Xishi Kangjia Money Cabinet.

Seeing the flying money, Li Bao was very excited, and he saw another way to make a fortune.

In the Tang Dynasty, the economy developed rapidly during the Kaiyuan period, and there was a shortage of money among the people, so there was a situation where money and silk were used together. Later, after the "Anshi Rebellion", the division of feudal towns intensified. Not only was it inconvenient and unsafe to transport money, but the boom in commerce led to an increase in the amount of money transported over long distances, and the central government imposed restrictions on the transportation of cash, which led to the production of flying money.

In order to alleviate the shortage of money among the people, during the reign of Xianzong Yuanhe, the imperial court issued a ban on copper coins from leaving the country. However, the ban of the imperial court did not alleviate the shortage of money, but further promoted the flying money, and in the seventh year of Yuanhe (821), the imperial court united with the household department, the degree branch, and the salt and iron departments to be in charge of the issuance and operation of "flying money". Later, the private "flying money" business was even more prosperous.

Nowadays, Chang'an's business "flying money" is the most prosperous is the big businessmen in the West Market, Kang's, Shi's, Tangren Qin's, Liu's and several others.

The "flying money" that Uncle Gen gave to Li Bao was issued by Kang's. The great merchants such as the Kang clan were the Sogdians, and these Hu people from the Western Regions were the most proficient at doing business, and they had a monopoly on the famous "Silk Road".

Li Bao made up his mind in his heart that he would definitely meet these Hu people and wealthy businessmen when he had the opportunity. He is also very interested in participating in the "Silk Road".

Li Bao thanked Uncle Gen, thanked him for believing in Shanhe Society, and warmly welcomed him to join Shanhe Society. said so in his mouth, but in his heart he despised him for being so greedy for ink, and his net worth as a housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion far exceeded 20,000. Li Bao also asked Ling'er to take another copy of the charter to Uncle Gen.

Uncle Gen begged Li Bao to keep it secret for him, and Wei Baoheng must not know about this matter. Li Baolinglong thought about it, and naturally agreed. Uncle Gen left satisfied. Li Bao was even more excited in his heart, and now his capital was more sufficient.

The principal of Shanhe Society has now reached as much as 90,000 yuan. Li Bao's own money on hand is not counted, but "Meiyaya" occupies almost 6,000 guan of Li Bao, and now Li Bao has a little more than 10,000 guan left in his hand.

In total, he has a little more than 100,000 yuan in cash. How to spend these 100,000 guan, Li Bao has to plan it well.

Just as Li Bao was thinking about it, Hu Sanbao reminded him that it was time to go back to the palace.

Li Bao and Li Ying planned to pack up and start going back to the palace, and when they went downstairs and saw a lot of guests on the first floor, Liang Hongmei said to Li Bao: "I have sold more than 30 cakes just opened today. ”

Li Bao thought that in just half a day, more than 30 individuals were almost a thousand, and this turnover was not bad. The other pastries have not been counted, and Li Ying and Ling'er are also full of joy. Lang Jun's vision is unique, and the return of this "beautiful girl" store is just around the corner.

Liang Hongmei and Zhao Qiancheng worked with their men and others to send Li Bao and his party back to the palace.

Because of the popularity of "Mei Yaya", the group was very happy on the way back, Ling'er followed Li Bao and Li Ying in the same carriage, and Li Ying's servants Bi'er and Hu Sanbao were driven to Li Ying's carriage.

Li Ying excitedly sang the popular minor tune, and the bell followed the beat of the tune. Li Bao listened to Li Ying's songs, her singing voice was tactful, her voice was mellow, and the aftertaste was timeless.

Li Bao's heart moved, and he said to Li Ying: "Sister, I have a song here, which is very suitable for you to sing, but the tune is different from today's tune, I'll sing a sentence, how about you sing a sentence along with it?" ”

Li Ying hurriedly asked: "Liulang can actually compose music and lyrics, it's really not simple, when you collaborated with Li Jinwu in "Thousand Hands Guanyin" that day, you also said that you were not good at composing. It turns out that you deceived us. ”

Li Ying thought for a while and said, "Could it be ...... Did you deliberately take this opportunity to befriend Li Jinwu? …… Well, it must be so, Rokuro, you're so smart! No, you're so smart, you look like I'm so stupid. ”

Li Ying's coquettishness made Li Bao smile, and Ling'er had to hide her mouth and smile, which was very hard.

Li Bao looked at Li Ying with a flushed face, and hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be angry, let's learn the song, you have practiced this song, we will go to perform for the adults." As long as you perform well, the adults will be happy and reward us. ”

Li Ying hid the shame in her heart and said to Li Bao: "Okay, Liulang, teach me quickly, what is this song called?" ”

"The name of this song is "Daughter's Love", and it is a song about a woman showing her love, which is very beautiful. Come on, I'll sing first, you follow me to learn. ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the next few days, Li Bao's busyness suddenly increased several times, except for the rehearsal of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" and entered the final rehearsal stage with makeup. Li Bao, Li Keji and Li Ying got together and held several meetings to solve the problems that occurred on the scene.

After all, the level of appreciation that the current Tang people like and the appreciation level of later generations is still different, but fortunately, Li Bao found Li Keji, an expert. He can be the chief musician of the court, and he is not able to sit in such a high position by slapping his beard.

With Li Keji's joining, the music and dance of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" is very adaptable to the water and soil. The decorations and dance moves of the beautiful dancing queen, coupled with the stage effects designed by Li Bao. Undoubtedly, the appreciation level of people in this era has been greatly improved. All of this comes from Li Bao, so Li Keji's attitude towards Li Bao has changed from the previous etiquette respect to the sympathetic respect between fellow masters.

Li Ying also asked Li Keji for advice on Li Bao's "Daughter's Love" that Li Bao taught her, and after listening to it, Li Keji expressed great interest in this simple but affectionate love song. Li Bao prevaricated on the grounds that he heard it outside the palace. declined Li Keji's enthusiasm for further discussion.

Looking at Li Keji's "resentful" eyes, Li Bao had to pretend to turn a blind eye and talk about him left and right.

Of course, when Li Bao's trio was together, they were busy with the affairs of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands". Naturally, they talked about the proprietor's meeting.

This matter is Li Bao's top priority, as long as the Shanhe Society is operated well, as long as Li Bao escapes from Chang'an City smoothly when Huangchao comes, he will have no worries. In the future, eat fragrant and drink spicy, chic and free, unrestrained, don't be too cool!

When the trio discussed, most of them were Li Bao saying that this was Li Bao's initiative, Li Keji and Li Ying were not good at it, they just had to listen to Li Bao's one-man show.

Then Li Keji had one more task, to pass on the results of the discussion to Liang Hongmei outside the palace, and then distribute it to all shareholders. Of course, the Wei Mansion handed over the two copies, both of which were received by Uncle Gen, and others could not find out the clues.

Before the grand performance of "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" on Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Bao managed to leave the palace again and held a joint meeting with all shareholders. At the meeting, all shareholders signed the share subscription agreement. At the meeting, a series of documents such as the "Regulations on the Functions and Powers and Daily Management of the Proprietors of the Shanhe Society", the "New Year's Development Plan of the Shanhe Society", and the "Outline of the Vision and Development of the Shanhe Society" were also adopted, which were obviously written by Li Bao.

The first general meeting of shareholders of Sunward Club was very successful and enthusiastic. The shareholders found from the various rules and regulations taken out by Li Bao that Li Bao's unborn business talent fully affirmed Li Bao's management of Shanhe Society.

In fact, these shareholders are really not good at doing business, and they also have their own jobs to be busy. Only Li Bao is an idler. And he has the largest shares, and it is impossible for others to oppose it. Moreover, the reason why Wei Baoheng, Tian Xianchen and others invested was not the intention of the drunkard, but all on Li Bao. Others, like Zhao Zhizhao and Tian Lingzi, are too low to speak.

Shanhe Society has completely become Li Bao's tool and the embodiment of Li Bao's will. At the beginning of its establishment, this giant consortium organization that called for wind and rain in later generations was still very weak and could not shake the sky of Chang'an City. But that day is not far off.
