"Brother Wei, I didn't expect you to come too." In the hall of Songhelou, Dou Yi has already asked people to prepare tea, and some seasonal fruits, or pastries and preserved fruits, Dou Yi is exquisite, although he is the richest man in Chang'an, but his face is always full of smiles, and he does a good job in contacting people. But the representatives of other families are not in such a good mood, for those partners who fight with each other on weekdays, their faces are not very good-looking, these people are equal in strength to themselves, and they come together, and they are obviously competitors.

"Brother Wang, aren't you here too? And Brother Dou, I really don't know what to say about you, the relationship between the Dou family and Tang Wang is not very good? Actually came to share the Tang King industry? Wei Shanmin looked at the few people who came from afar, shook his head and said.

"Is it in business? The Dou family is also in Guanzhong, and they are also the courtiers of the Son of Heaven, under the control of the Tang King and under the protection of the Tang King, otherwise, Mr. Dou would not have sent an invitation to come. A shopkeeper said with a gloomy face.

"Oh, really?" Wei Shanmin glanced at everyone disdainfully, but his heart was very heavy, although the Wei family is good, under the painstaking management of the three Wei brothers, it has developed rapidly over the years, but among the people who came today, there are even people from the Dong family, the two Cui families, and the Zheng family, etc., are all high-ranking lords in the world, I didn't expect to appear in the hall at this moment, don't you know, the relationship between King Tang and your master is not very good?

Not to mention the strange atmosphere in the hall, Li Xin, who was watching the scenery on the third floor, was also full of smiles, looking at Yiqiē in front of him with a smile, and suddenly Dou Yi walked in and said, "Prime Minister." ”

"It's already very good to prepare like this in three days, Dou Yi, you did a good job." Li Xin glanced at Dou Yi approvingly.

"Prime Minister, Zheng Shanguo has gone to Wei Yuancheng's Accord." Dou Yi's face was embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "Not only the people of the Zheng family have gone, but other families have gone. Maybe it's something to discuss? ”

"Looks like these guys aren't stupid either." Pei Shiju shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, it's better to start now!" It will take time for them to discuss, and there will be no possibility of collusion for the time being. ”

"Well, this will give them no chance to discuss." Du Ruhui also said.

"Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are waiting." Li Xin nodded and said, "If I give you two things, they will definitely quarrel." ”

"Yes." Dou Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked people to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so Li Xin took two pieces of white paper and wrote four words on them.

"Prime Minister. This kapok is very easy to say, but the arrows are used in the army, if the Guan Long family is in charge of this thing, one day, they will definitely control the supply in the army, the war broke out, these guys took refuge in foreign enemies, then, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do! Du Ruhui looked at the two things above. I was immediately surprised.

"Prime Minister, one kapok is enough to make these guys crazy, it's better to be careful with this arrow." Pei Shiju's face was straight, and he also persuaded.

"The army is also to be built. But what consumes the most on the march is the bow and arrow. But don't worry, if someone makes arrows. These arrows were also used only for military training. What's more, if it is a great war to exterminate the bandits with this arrow. but not theirs. Li Xin explained: "This is a big deal! How much money do you have to make every year to build these arrows and buy them from the imperial court, as long as I, Li Xin and my descendants, control the country, this agreement will take effect forever, and with this agreement, you can create a century-old family, won't these guys break their heads? ”

"Dou Yi, since the prime minister has made a decision, he must sue them, the arrows must not cut corners, and all the arrows must be the same as those of the imperial court." Du Ruhui admonished.

"Whoever accepts our order must sign a chargeword." Pei Shiju also said.

"Okay, Dou Yi, you can go down and preside. Tell them that both of these are military supplies. Li Xin smiled, he saw Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui's worries, but he didn't tell them that behind a powerful empire, there must be some arms dealers, and these guys will definitely carry out one war after another in peacetime for their own interests. An empire has victories and decays, and war is the greatest stimulus in peacetime. Of course, these arms dealers can't be too many, otherwise, they will take control of the imperial court.

On the first floor, Dou Yi began to hold an auction ceremony, the first to launch is paper, for paper Li Xin does not require mastery of technology, such technology can only be developed faster when it comes to the people, in triplicate, directly buy the copyright, the price of 50,000 yuan per copy is not high.

"Fifty thousand." Wei Shanmin shot directly.

"Fifty-one thousand." The second shopkeeper of the Wang family.

"Sixty thousand." A gloomy voice sounded, but it was someone from the Dou family.

"Sixty thousand for the first time, sixty thousand for the second time, sixty thousand for the third time, deal." Dou Yi smiled, he sold 60,000 guan in the first transaction, and there will be more things left, it can be said that the things sent out this time can at least reach millions of guan, which greatly relieves the pressure on the imperial court's finances.

"The second papermaking technology. My Zheng family is out of 70,000. ”

"The Cui family is a family of poets and books, and we have 75,000 yuan." The Zheng family shot an old man with a goatee.

"Who is the Cui family? Isn't our Zheng family? 80,000 times. The shopkeeper of the Zheng family said dissatisfiedly.

The old man with the goatee was about to speak, when suddenly a young man in Tsing Yi came from a distance and shook his head at him, the old man with the goatee was stunned, and finally he could only sit down. The second papermaking technology was obtained by the Cui family.

Dou Yi saw it very clearly, knowing that the major families above had reached an agreement on papermaking, and sure enough, the third papermaking technology was obtained by the Zheng family, and it was only 50,000 yuan, and Dou Yi was slightly annoyed in his heart.

"Prime Minister, they have indeed reached an agreement." Du Ruhui was also a little angry, the first papermaking technology was already 60,000 guan, the second was even 80,000 guan, and the last one would be higher, but in the end, it was only 50,000 guan, less than tens of thousands, no wonder Du Ruhui was angry.

"Hehe, Master Du, behind them, I don't know what's going on? At the very least, the prime minister's purpose has been achieved. Pei Shiju said with a smile: "These big families are the most greedy, how can they give it away lightly, tsk, if it weren't for the prime minister here, the old man really wanted to go and see." ”

"Both, if we set up a yamen or academy or something like that, specialize in studying these things, and then sell all these things, do you think we will solve some money and food problems for the imperial court?" Li Xin suddenly said with a smile.

"Prime Minister Shengming." Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they couldn't help but nod, although the investment is relatively large, the output is also very profitable. Looking below, although the major families have already discussed a way, a papermaking technique has already made so much money. That's 200,000.

"Hehe, this Dou Yi is still a little anxious, and he is the kapok technique as soon as he gets started." Li Xin suddenly pointed to Dou Yi below and said. The two looked over, and sure enough, they saw that Dou Yi's second shot was the kapok technique.

"What's going on? How can there be kapok, this thing is very difficult to grow. Why isn't it on the invitation? Wei Shanmin was surprised all of a sudden, just now, after the Zheng family got the last papermaking technology, he knew that it must be the family above who was playing, and originally wanted to wait to see a good show, but he didn't expect that at this time, Dou Yi actually came up with a kapok technology. Many people know its benefits, and in winter, it is a blessing to have a cotton coat.

"One hundred thousand. The first batch of kapok seeds will be provided by us, and then we will tell you how to plant them, how to grow them. Oh, forget jì tell sù everyone, this kapok is a military supplies, our army has countless soldiers, when winter comes, a large number of cotton clothes will be purchased for the soldiers to keep out the cold. The same is true for triple. Dou Yi showed a smug smile on his face, he just let these guys be anxious, so as not to unite together and let Li Xin suffer. Li Xin did not stipulate that several copies should be sold at a time, but Dou Yi divided them into three copies, which shows that this person's grasp of business negotiations is complete.

"110,000 times." Wei Shanmin also found a business opportunity here, although silk is good, but the role of kapok is greater, not to mention military supplies, think about it, how many imperial soldiers are there every year, hundreds of thousands? An army of millions, what a huge number that must be. Each cotton coat has the same money, and it can be earned back with interest in a year.

"Shopkeeper Wei, he's too stingy. Xingyang Zheng family, 200,000 guan. "It's not just one person who is smart, it's the same is true of the Zheng family, one mouth is 200,000 yuan.

"Qinghe Cui family, 250,000 guan." Qinghe Cui's family also made a move, he stood up and said: "Although my Qinghe Cui family is in Guanzhong, I still know this kapok, and it is best to plant it in the Western Regions, and my Cui family decided to send someone to buy 100,000 acres of wasteland in the Western Regions to specialize in planting kapok." ”

"250,000 for the first time, 200,000 for the second time, 250,000 for the third time, deal." Dou Yi's eyes lit up after hearing this, these 250,000 guan are definitely sold cheaply, but the purchase of 100,000 mu of wasteland in the Western Regions is a big deal, and more importantly, this is Cui's large-scale entry into the Western Regions, and sooner or later it will become a sharp sword in Li Xin's hands. That's the main thing.

"It's a pity that Dou Yi is in business." Pei Shiju couldn't help but speak.

"It's the same everywhere!" Li Xin also nodded approvingly.

Soon, the kapok technology was soon taken away by the Taiyuan Wang family and the Guanzhong Du family, and a total of 1.3 million yuan of huge property was contributed to Li Xin, so that Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui were the bosses with their mouths open, and this time they always saw the strength of the family, but they were even more shocked Li Xin gained more this time, and it was definitely a lot of money.
