288, make money with the highway (II)

Although it is stated that he wants to use the road to make money, such a big thing, of course, must be approved by the emperor. If the emperor does not agree, then I am afraid that this kind of thing will not be able to be carried out. Jingwen and Yan Liben immediately went to see Li Shimin, claiming that there was a situation where the road could be repaired without spending too much money. And after Emperor Li Shimin heard about it, he was also excited, such a big project doesn't cost too much money, it's really good. Therefore, he immediately put down his preparations and prepared to make love with the concubine, and he also met the two of them in the evening.

"Your Majesty, first of all, the highway can be tolled, and this emperor should have seen it. Moreover, this is also the most important source of wealth for the highway, so the emperor should know about it. And then, we should talk about how we divide the gains. Jingwen said.

"Well, this gain should be talked about!" Li Shimin said.

Jingwen immediately said: "Your Majesty, according to the plan drawn up by the minister, fifty percent of the revenue from this highway will go to the imperial court. And the remaining fifty percent is for investors. And the remaining fifty percent, we can also continue to divide into a part. And this part is of course for the emperor and for you, free of charge. Jingwen said.

After Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, this Jingwen is really sensible. The emperor is good, and without spending a penny, he can get a dividend of 10%. Although this kind of business cannot be done often, it can be regarded as a lot of money. And all the toll on the highway in the whole world can get 10%, so the royal family can live well without relying on the treasury. When the time comes, you won't even have to pay for the treasury to feed the royal family, so of course there will be no situation where you will be advised to be frugal by hundreds of officials.

"And the remaining ninety percent, we can take out two percent as a share for the court officials to subscribe. These two percent are specially subscribed to by court officials, and no one else can subscribe to them. And sixty percent can be subscribed to anyone. As long as you have money, you can subscribe to it. ”

"Of course, this is just a road. Other highways are also divided into shares in this proportion. The emperor can take one percent for free, and the rest will be subscribed according to this ratio, so that more court officials can get benefits. ”

Li Shimin calculated for a moment and said, "What about Yicheng?" In the end, how to deal with this Issei? ”

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to deal with this success, so I will ask the emperor and the ministers to sell it, and the ministers will definitely come up with a plan in a few days." Jingwen said.

Although Li Shimin didn't know what medicine Jingwen was selling in the gourd, Li Shimin still didn't ask. Anyway, the emperor also knew that Jingwen would not be untargeted, and should have a special role.

"Your Majesty. In fact, this toll road is not the only income, in fact, there are other incomes. Jingwen said.

"What else?" Li Shimin asked.

Jingwen explained: "In fact, once the highway is opened, it will bring a large flow of people. There is a big flow of people, and that is a business opportunity! We can set up some rest spots around the road, and there are inns in them, and there are all kinds of places where tea is served. However, these are all costly, and this is to be earned. Even. We can advertise on the highway and spread the word like this. Jingwen said.

"Advertising?"

"Advertising is publicity, that is, making your products known to everyone. For example, in the direction of rushing from Luoyang to Chang'an, we can post some paper. It is written with famous dishes that are eaten every day. And those Luoyang merchants who come to Chang'an, don't they just want to taste the famous dishes that they eat every day? And why is this position for daily food? Then you have to spend money on food every day. And after spending money, it can only be posted for a period of time, and it will also post advertisements for other businesses in the future. It all costs money. Jingwen explained.

Li Shimin listened to this advertisement and had to admit that this was an idea. Later, when this kind of road was built, there was a lot of traffic at that time. That's going to make everyone know. This is not income, can you take the opportunity to ask for money?

"It seems that in the future, you will have to figure out how to do this kind of thing. You are my God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty! Li Shimin said.

"Thank you for the emperor's praise, I can't afford the reputation of the God of Wealth of the Tang Dynasty!" Jingwen said modestly.

"Well, now you can think about how to squeeze some oil and water out of this highway, but not exhaust it. If you fish with all your might, I'll be done with you! Li Shimin said.

Jingwen immediately agreed, because Jingwen thought that he was capable and could easily get some good things if he won. Because Jingwen is a traverser, if he can't get the biggest money, then what kind of traverser is he! Therefore, this thing is very easy to do, and Jingwen can take the initiative to do it without Li Shimin's explanation. Anyway, sooner or later, I have to invest, because the emperor will not let go of himself, the God of Wealth. If the person who came up with the idea doesn't invest, then I'm afraid others won't dare to invest! And when the time comes, there will be a shortage of money, and the emperor will not have to find trouble for himself!

"Also, hurry up and take out the money from the last bonus and come up with a plan, so that I can see if you have any new ideas. I'm very curious, your new ideas, this can always bring benefits to my Datang! But don't put the money in your pocket! Li Shimin said.

Jingwen immediately assured, saying: "Your Majesty, I am a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that no one in the Tang Dynasty is more honest than me." So, Your Majesty, how can you disbelieve me so much? ”

"Hmph, are you incorruptible? I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there is no one in this court who likes money more than you? Li Shimin said.

Jing Wen thought to himself: "You, the emperor, also like money very much!" ”

However, although Jing Wen thought so in his heart, he said in his mouth: "This last money, I will definitely be able to satisfy the whole court." When the time comes, I'm afraid the whole court will support it. ”

"Oh? The whole court can support it, and I'm really curious. Li Shimin was surprised.

In the imperial court, it is very difficult to get all the officials to agree with this. Each in the court has its own interests, so it is very difficult to get them to agree. But Jingwen actually said something that everyone could agree with, which is a bit surprising.

"Your Majesty, I am increasing the benefits of my honest officials, so naturally they will not object. As long as it is an honest official, you can enjoy this benefit. Jingwen said. (To be continued......)
