Chapter 178: The River Group (Part II)
Not long after the news was released, someone with hands and eyes immediately went to Huaqing Palace. It didn't take long for the Son of Heaven to issue an edict ordering Ma Lan to reduce the minimum limit of the share capital of the Hezhong Group to 10,000 yuan.
Everything was expected by Ma Lan.
The threshold of 100,000 yuan is just a gimmick, and there are not many people in Chang'an City who can take out 100,000 yuan to buy shares. And 10,000 yuan is not available in those gate valve families, this threshold is actually determined in advance by Ma Lan and the Son of Heaven.
Getting more people to participate in the Hezhong Group and reap the benefits of the Hezhong Group, so as to support the expansion of the Anxi Army in the Hezhong, this is Ma Lan's plan.
Letting the Son of Heaven help set up a situation naturally comes at a price. The price is that the 1 million yuan that Li Longji invested in is lying in the inner treasury in a good way, and he cannot use it unless necessary, but he still has to enjoy the dividend of 1 million yuan of share capital.
It is a nice saying that you can't use it when you don't have to, Li Longji is planning to empty the white wolf. Ma Lan didn't want to agree, but thinking that Li Longji smashed the income of the Tang Dynasty Sancheng for the sake of the safe immigration of the people in Guanzhong, he finally decided to let him take advantage of this.
The Son of Heaven took the lead in establishing a trading house, which was a great event. Chang'an City was extremely lively this night, and the streets and alleys were talking about this matter.
The people have mixed opinions on this matter, but for the wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in Chang'an City, this is a great opportunity to stand in line. Standing on the side of the Son of Heaven is always good and not bad, which has been proven for decades.
……
Chen Xilie, the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, stood in the garden, and dozens of guards around him held torches high, illuminating the garden extremely brightly. A dozen servants dug for a long time at the edge of the pool with hoes, and finally they found a stone slab.
Several strong men removed the stone slabs, jumped into the cave under the stone slabs, and twisted a dozen large boxes hidden in the cave.
"That's it!" Chen Xilie waved his hand.
The strong men jumped up and covered the slate again, carefully covering it with dirt, removing most of the traces.
"Father, this time the Son of Heaven is leading, why don't we invest another 10,000 yuan?"
Chen Xilie snorted and glared at his son: "What do you know!" Invest 10,000 yuan, and the Son of Heaven will only praise me for my loyalty when he knows about it, and if he invests 10,000 more yuan in it, the Son of Heaven will ask me where the money came from! Our family is not a businessman, what do you want so much money for! Let Your Majesty know our loyalty is the most important thing. ”
"I see, father!"
"Tomorrow morning, the money will be transported. It's still in the name of your uncle, but don't be preempted by others, how can I say that I am also the left minister of Datang, I must come out on top! ”
……
That night, I don't know how many high-ranking families lit torches overnight, dug up the copper coins in the cellar, and prepared to transport them to the Fufeng County Mansion tomorrow.
In the past two years, there has been a flood of private money in Chang'an City, which has a great relationship with too many copper coins being stored and insufficient coins on the market.
On the other hand, the more low-quality private money circulated in the market, the more the families preferred to store copper coins. And this time it is a great honor to do business with the Son of Heaven, and the copper money used to make the share capital cannot be used, so it is naturally impossible to be lazy.
At dawn on the second day, heavy carriages full of copper coins drove out of each square under the strict protection of the guards and drove directly in the direction of Yankang Fang.
However, these copper coins were not transported to the palace of Fufeng County.
Just opposite the Fufeng County Palace, it was just a night of work, a large mansion has been opened by the Beiya Forbidden Army overnight, becoming a whole, and a brand-new plaque is hung at the door, which reads "Hezhong Group" four big characters.
I dare not say whether the writing is good or not, but it is the imperial pen of the Son of Heaven. When many people saw this plaque, they knelt down directly.
Li Longji got a share capital of one million yuan with empty white teeth, so naturally he had to make some efforts, and it was not an ordinary thing to write a plaque.
When the copper money is transported here, there will be a Lang official signature of the household department to enter the treasury, please go into the backyard to rest and wait. He couldn't sit still, so he walked to the courtyard and watched as truckloads of fine copper coins were deposited into the warehouse.
There were several carriages of copper coins sent by each family, and dozens of carriages were actually large. The most exaggerated thing in the morning was the Pei family in Shuzhong, who actually sent 500,000 yuan directly, and the carriage lined up in Yankang Fang for a long time, and it took a long time to lighten it, and everyone was extremely hot.
Most of the people who came to subscribe to the share capital were the agents of the family gate valve, and there were also well-known merchants in Chang'an City, and there were also twenty or thirty Hu merchants who came, although they had no backers, but they could take out a lot of copper coins, and the least was 50,000 yuan.
They are customers in Datang and have no status, and now there is an opportunity to do business with the emperor of Datang, so they naturally have to seize it tightly.
Of course, what is more important is that this business is extremely profitable, and people who lose money will never do it.
Just after noon, the subscribed share capital reported by the Tobe Langguan had reached 6 million yuan. This is an extremely astonishing number, and Ma Lan is also extremely happy when he sees this number.
There shouldn't be a lot of people coming at this time, and the ones who should have come should have already come. The share capital of 6 million yuan has made Ma Lan extremely satisfied. With enough money, his idea of establishing a Tang version of the British East India Company was able to be realized little by little.
At this moment, the sound of a carriage rumbling across the bluestone ground was heard outside the courtyard again. A long string of carriages, protected by a large group of guards, reached the gate, and under the guidance of the Tobe Langguan, they entered the courtyard with the threshold removed, and the whole compound was full.
"Meet Ma Xiang!"
The Sogdian, who was at the head of the group, was tall and strong, looked at Ma Lan and smiled.
"Who is your master? How much does this money have? Tobe asked.
"The master of my house is a Kangju. This time, 990,000 yuan was sent to Ma Xiang to help this prosperous era. The Sogdian man laughed.
"Is it given to Ma Xiang, or is it a share?" Zhang Xun interjected.
The Sogdian man hesitated: "It's a share." ”
Ma Lan nodded to the Sogdian man: "Tanhualang, this is my old friend in Anxi. You look at the storage first, I have a few words with him. ”
Zhang Xun nodded, Ma Lu walked to the backyard, and the Sogdian man followed.
……
"Didn't you go to Fanyang with my secret agent? Why is it here? Entering an empty room, Ma Lin looked at the Sogdian man and frowned.
"Originally, the small one was indeed in Fanyang, and I just arrived in Chang'an a few days ago." The Sogdian man smiled and said, "I heard that the general was going to set up a trading house, so he specially sent money to the adults. Originally, he was going to give the adults 1 million yuan, but the Khan himself gave 1 million yuan of share capital, which was too much, and it was only then that he shipped 990,000 yuan. The 990,000 yuan share capital belongs to the general, and the other 10,000 yuan is ready to be sent to the general's mansion at night. ”
Ma Lan snorted and said, "One million dollars, it's really a big deal!" No matter how good the sales of Chengxintang paper are, my share shouldn't be so much. Isn't your master in Kufa City, when did you arrive in Chang'an? Now that you've arrived in Chang'an, why don't you come to the house to drink two cups! ”
This Sogdian man was none other than Kang Wannian, Kang Wannian's agent in Anxi. When Ma Ludong came to Chang'an, he was ready to calculate An Lushan, and more than 200 Anxi secret agents passed through Fanyang in front of the Hui Road, which was mixed in Kang Wannian's caravan.
When Kang Wannian was in Anxi, he said that he would be ordered by Ma Lan, but this time he disrespected the order and came to Chang'an, and he appeared with so much money, Ma Lan naturally felt extremely strange in his heart.
With the flick of a finger, it has been more than two years since I left Sa Mojian. That Sogdian girl with clear and clean eyes, could it be that she had already arrived in Chang'an City?
Kang Wannian said with a smile: "The master and the young lady should not have arrived in Chang'an, and they are still in the Great Food Country." This million dollars were given to the general, and it was the little one who made it himself. My master said that all the assets of the family in the territory of Datang can be used to support the general when necessary. ”
Ma Lu was slightly disappointed in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Kang Million has only been to Anxi at the farthest, when did he have a lot of money in Chang'an!" I took out one million yuan casually, and my Datang's annual income was only more than 30 million! The Hu merchants in Chang'an City are all famous and surnamed, is it possible that your master is really rich and rivals the country! ”
Kang Wannian smiled and said: "The Tang Dynasty is full of treasures, wealth is like clouds, my master is naturally not a rich country, and the small one can raise so much money in Chang'an." Give this money to the general, and the little one will go back to Fanyang. Isn't it time for the general's spies to go back to Anxi, and how about being sent back to Anxi by the little one? ”
Ma Lan's eyes flashed, and he looked straight at Kang Wannian.
Kang Wannian smiled slightly and said: "The general's main Bian Anxi, now his destination is in the river, but he has sent more than two hundred Anxi spies to Fanyang. Fan Yang is the realm of the Tang Dynasty, not a place where Anxi's secret agents should go to investigate. At that time, I couldn't guess the general's purpose, but now Fan Yang An Lushan died in Chang'an...... Hehe, the little one is not an idiot, so he can naturally guess something. ”
"Sometimes, it's better to be an idiot." Ma Lan said coldly.
Kang Wannian smiled and said: "General, I take the liberty to say it, in fact, my master and young lady are definitely more trustworthy than Tian Khan." The master has put all the gambling books on you, the young lady has given you her heart, and the heavenly khan is now reusing you, and maybe he will give you a knife in the back in the future. ”
Ma Lan looked at Kang Wannian coldly: "Is it still a strange commodity to live in!" Does Kang Million really want to be Lu Buwei? ”
Kang Wannian smiled: "The things you discussed with my master, it is inconvenient to say more." General, I heard that you are going to move more than 400,000 people to the river, and I am afraid that it is difficult for the land in the river to accommodate so many people of the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible for the general not to cross the Wuhu River and open up to the south. At that point, my master might be able to help again. ”
Ma Lan looked gloomy and waved his hand.
"The share capital and the extra 10,000 yuan will be sent to the general's mansion tonight. It is also a million dollars, which is not much more than that of the Heavenly Khan. Kang Wannian smiled and walked out of the room. (To be continued.) )
