Chapter 498: A Gentleman Loves Money and Takes It in a Proper Way (Part II)
Wu Yanhui took the notepad, and after glancing at it, his face suddenly changed greatly.
He raised his head and said sharply, "Yang Qingzhi, what do you mean by this?" ”
Yang Shouwen smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "King Chen, don't be impatient, I invite everyone to come today, there is no malice, but to make a fortune with everyone." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the note in his hand and read softly: "Since the princess of Xindu returned to Beijing, she has been subject to six hundred feudal households. However, the princess was in Luoyang, and in the first year of the holy calendar, she took Yongfengfang Qingliang Temple as Beppu, and later took away 300 acres of land in Lirenfang.
In the second year of the holy calendar, the princess ordered people to forcibly seize 600 acres of land in Yanfufang in Chang'an, and then encroached on half of the land of Chongyefang Anguo Temple......
The same is true of Princess Ding'an, who took away the Qingyuan Temple in the second year of the holy calendar and built it as Beppu.
Guanguo Gong, Princess Changning, expanded the mansion more than three times in just two years, and at the same time in Chang'an, Gao Shilian's mansion and Zuojin Wuwei's military camp were combined to build Beppu. At the end of last year, the sage canceled Yongchang County, but the princess privately occupied the county government and used it as a house. In addition, she also intended to take away the old mansion of Li Tai, the king of Wei, in Chang'an......"
Yang Shouwen's paper recorded the actions of several princesses in the two years since they returned to Beijing.
Several of the horses looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to speak.
After Yang Shouwen finished reading, he threw the paper into the brazier next to him, and then filled the horses with tea.
"Brothers, I inquired about this, not to embarrass you, but to speak from the bottom of my heart.
Now the prince is in charge of the East Palace, but after all, the foundation is unstable. He has lived in Luling for more than ten years, and no one is expected to be in Luoyang and Chang'an. Therefore, the position of the crown prince is like a castle in the air, which will collapse if you are not careful. I came today to invite a few brothers to join me in laying a solid foundation for the crown prince. The things I read just now seem to be trivial, but in fact, they will have a huge impact on the crown prince. Children of the child. Share your parents' worries...... The princesses lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they didn't know the suffering outside. But I don't believe that the brothers will not hear the complaints below. ”
Wu Yanhui frowned, and said in a deep voice: "So what? The shore of the land is not the king's minister. The whole world is not the king's land.
What is the big deal for the princess to return to Beijing and take some land?
It's just a group of people complaining, so why bother with Qingzhi? ”
Yang Shouwen said: "When Taizong was alive, he once said that water can carry boats. It can also capsize.
What my brother said is good, the whole world is not the king's land. But don't forget, brother, today, is the world of saints, the crown prince's foundation is not solid, we should gather the hearts of the people for him, let the people know that the prince's benevolence and virtue will consolidate the status of the East Palace for him. Blindly taking and grabbing, the people will not say how the princess is. will only say that the prince is immoral and mediocre. ”
Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Wang Tongjiao said: "What Qingzhi said also has some truth.
However, in the opinion of the youth, what should we do? ”
"People are so luxurious, and I like it too.
The princesses returned from Luling, and when they saw the prosperity of the imperial capital at first glance, they would inevitably have gaffes.
However, there is a way for a gentleman to love money and take it in a good way. I know that too. Although your brothers are princes or from famous families, they are inevitably shy in this prosperous place. I've heard people say it a lot. Luoyang Ju is not easy.
Civilians are still like this, not to mention that the brothers have a lot of entertainment, and it is inevitable that the cost will be amazing.
This is especially true of the princesses, especially after the opening of the mansion by several sisters, there are many people in the mansion. Every move is a must-have expense. Although there are fiefs and monthly salaries, the comfort that those money wants to live is far from enough. ”
"Qingzhi, you're right!"
Yang Ruijiao couldn't help but pat his legs and complained: "Don't say anything else, just talk about my Guanguo Mansion."
Hundreds of people up and down are all made of the little floating wealth at home. In this Luoyang City, if you don't put up a fight, people won't pay attention to you, and even your mother may be harassed when you enter the city; If you put up a shelf, you need to spend a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, just a few hundred people eat and drink Lazar, and there will be a large amount of expenditure every month, which is indeed terrifying to think about. ”
"Who's to say it isn't."
Wu Yanji also had a deep understanding and agreed.
Wang Tongjiao said: "Qingzhi, we all understand the truths you said.
But what do we do? ”
Yang Shouwen listened, and suddenly laughed.
"A few brothers are confused, we are guarding the gold mountain, why do we run to compete with the people for profit?
Gentlemen, who has the most people in this Luoyang City? The sons of nobles have the most famous families; What do we do best? Play, we'll play! So what are our advantages? Who can compare our fame and our connections? ”
Wu Yanji, Wu Yanhui and Yang Rui glanced at each other and nodded silently.
Yang Shouwen pointed at Wu Yanhui, "King Chen, I know you like cockfighting, so let me ask you, how much do you spend on cockfighting every month?" ”
"If you are good at fighting cocks, you have to do it a hundred times."
"Yes, if you set up a special place for cockfighting in Luoyang, gather those noble children together, and then open a market to the outside world, what will it be? Not to mention, those wealthy businessmen's children sharpened their heads and wanted to be strong with us, so we gave him this opportunity, and you said that they would have no cost to enter your clubhouse? ”
"This ......"
Wu Yanhui's heart was hot, as if he saw countless amounts of money, rolling towards him.
Yang Shouwen pointed at Yang Ruijiao again, "Guanguo Gong, you are singing and dancing, lingering in the Qinglou Tile House."
But what's the point of those vulgar powders? It's just a little cherry lips and a thousand pillows with jade arms, don't you feel disgusting when you ******? You look at the country in a dignified manner, and you want to find that beautiful woman, but it's as easy as a finger. Wouldn't it be fun to open a clubhouse and bring the women from the workshop to listen to music and watch plays? ”
"And you, the king of Jiwei.
I know you don't know how to punch or kick, but you like that role.
But what's the point? Fake! Brother, that's all drama...... Let's make a competition, let them fight with real guns, and a lot of people will come to cheer for it, and then you will not only not have to spend money, but you can make a lot of money. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Shouwen stood up.
He said loudly: "Brothers, there are countless ways to make money in this world, it depends on whether you want to or not.
With your fame, identity, status, and connections...... Why bother to cut off those bitter ways of life? If you want to make money, we have a lot of opportunities...... The most important thing is that we can also take this opportunity to help the prince sit firmly in the East Palace......
Think about it, as long as the prince is in the East Palace for a day, who would dare to touch our business?
If the crown prince ascends the throne in the ninth five-year period, we will do these businesses all over the world, do the border stops, do the six edicts, do the Western Regions, do Annam, and do Tubo. In this world, there is never a shortage of money and many stupid people, and we have endless money. ”
When Yang Shouwen said this, he involuntarily used a big toad qi, which made his voice even more bewitching.
Wu Yanji's face turned red, and he nodded again and again.
And Wu Yanhui and Yang Ruijiao couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and stood up with a shout, "Qingzhi, you say, what should we do?" ”
Wang Tongjiao remained calm and said softly: "Qingzhi, then haven't we become businessmen?" ”
In this day and age, businessmen are definitely synonymous with lowliness.
Yang Shouwen smiled when he heard this, "Brother, who said that we have to stand up, as long as we show our mouth, there will be a large number of people with money, crying and shouting to stand at the front desk for us." Let's just hide behind our backs and collect money silently.
Brothers, just playing, anyone can.
But being able to make money while playing is the real thing. ”
After speaking, Yang Shouwen let out a sigh of relief and sat down again.
He poured out the tea that had been cooled, replaced it with new tea, and distributed it to the people.
"Brothers, I've finished what I need to say, who is for it and who is against?"
Wu Yanji and the four of them glanced at each other and said in unison: "Qingzhi, this matter will be handed over to you for planning, and we will fully support you." ”
Seeing this, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He said in a deep voice: "Since my brothers don't object, then let's discuss it carefully, how can we earn that money in our hands while playing more easily." ”

That night, Li Xian sat in the study, looking at the tea boat in front of him with a smile on his face, and the exquisite tea sets that had been placed on the tea boat.
This is a gift that Li Xianhui brought to him when he came back from Taiwei Palace.
It is said that this tea boat was made by Yang Shouwen himself, and the pot of tea was fried by Li Bao'er himself.
However, Li Xian didn't believe that his baby daughter could fry tea.
But I was still very happy in my heart, after all, this was the first time Yang Shouwen gave him a gift, and it also meant that the relationship between the two had been eased.
He sat next to the tea boat, picked up the tea pot for a while, and smelled the fragrance of the tea.
After a while, I picked up the tea set and played with it in my hand, which was particularly interesting.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Princess Yicheng ran in with a cloak, and knelt in front of Li Xian.
"Father, the daughter is not alive! That Yang Shouwen deceived people too much......" (To be continued.) )
