Section 559 A New Round of Wealth Accumulation [Eighth in a Row]

Is Li Yuanxing poor?

King Qin of the Tang Dynasty was the poorest aristocrat in the Tang Dynasty, and his personal assets were negative. Not to mention the 23-year fine, the gambling debts owed by playing mahjong alone are almost 5,000 yuan, and this money can be exchanged for grain and loaded into a carriage, which can be arranged to go to the Chamber of Commerce Street from the long term.

However, the Qin Palaces are not poor. It is not an exaggeration to say that the rich rival the country.

King Qin cried poor this time, saying that the money in King Qin's mansion was not enough, not that he was talking about himself.

Just when everyone was thinking about the reason why King Qin was crying poor, and the strategic goal of King Qin crying poor.

Wei Zheng didn't care about his tea bowl, and asked very suspiciously: "Your Highness, won't the pearls you gave to the Western Turks be planted?" ”

"If you don't plant it, let me go to the sea and fish it myself." Li Yuanxing scolded with a smile.

What is planted, the pearl is planted!

There was a chaotic sound of hula, everyone except Li Yuanxing was in a hurry, and more than a dozen tea bowls were overturned. Peanuts and walnuts were scattered all over the ground. I don't know who pressed it on the table, but it almost knocked it over.

Li Yuanxing held his tea bowl in one hand and two walnuts in the other, and when everyone quieted down, he put the tea bowl on the table unhurriedly.

"It's really a wealth that touches people's hearts." Li Yuanxing sighed with emotion: "Come on, go and prepare some snacks." This will first take a set of tea sets, taste tea, and calm down! ”

"Your Highness! And the pearl was grown? Wei Zheng asked again.

"Calm down, Wei Changshi, your usual calmness went there, isn't it just a little pearl. Lao Sun has studied it, and he said that pearls are salty, sweet, cold, and non-toxic. Calm the heart; The pearl coating makes people moisturize and good color. Apply to the hands and feet, remove the skin and inverted the cheeks; Falling phlegm, removing facial spots, stopping diarrhea; In addition to children's fever, the soul is calm; Stop the white turbidity of sperm, detoxify acne and treat poison. …… Makes the shine white"

Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette and said slowly.

Intentionally, that's what is intentional.

Is Wei Zheng a good guy? To be precise, Wei Zheng is a very moral one. People with black hearts and black faces. Leminyuan's bag of sunspots in the commentary. Cui Dunli has always believed that this is a script written based on Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's expression also became very calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Your Highness, like a pearl for the Western Turks." Ten more servings. Next year, all the expenses of the expedition to Goguryeo will come out. Or rather. Luoyang's straight! ”

"Luoyang Straight Road is not enough, at least twenty boxes are needed!" Cui Junsu answered beside him.

"It's a pity that that kind of king can't be planted. Only in specific places. In a specific season, and it takes a very experienced bead farmer to produce a chance of one out of 10,000 grains. After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, none of the people felt disappointed, it was a real strange thing that such a thing could be grown.

Li Yuanxing pulled out two boxes from under the table, looked at them and pushed one of them back, and then took out a small box from the box left, and kicked the box back under the table.

I've been prepared.

The reaction in everyone's hearts was completely the same, His Royal Highness the King of Qin had already made preparations, and the people of them came to the Heavenly Ce General's Mansion, all of which were within the calculation of His Royal Highness the King of Qin.

Li Yuanxing opened the box, which contained white pearls, the size of which was dozens of species with a diameter of 0.3 cm to 0.7 cm in later generations, and they were very neatly arranged in the wooden box.

"This, there are a few places in Datang, very, very suitable for planting!"

"Your Highness, how is this yield?" Cui Dunli asked on behalf of everyone. Because no one knows to whom this business will be given.

Li Yuanxing picked up a pearl: "If this is allowed to be planted by this king, if it is less than three million catties a year, this king will not be too lazy to do it." However, this king doesn't like it, because it is too labor-intensive to mass-produce. ”

It's another sentence that there is no way to mass produce.

The word mass production is not unfamiliar to the upper echelons of Datang, which means that there is no way to use machines for large-scale production. Its production capacity, at least at the level of 10,000 catties per day, is qualified to be called mass production.

"Cui Shangshu!" Li Yuanxing shouted, everyone became nervous, and Cui Junsu's heart was also tight, but it was not right to think about it, Li Yuanxing could not hand over this business to Qinghe Cui's family, not to mention how much industry Qinghe Cui's had occupied, only that the industries that had been occupied had not been fully digested, so it was impossible to have pearls.

"Cui Shangshu, settle accounts with the Xiao family and the Zhu family."

The Zhu family, which represents the southeast family, and the Xiao family, which represents the Jiangsu and Zhejiang families. When the two heads of the family heard this, they immediately stood up, almost at the same time: "Your Highness, we can't eat such huge profits!" ”

"If you can't eat it, you have to eat it. 800,000 catties of fine beads a year must be transported into Chang'an and sold to the Western Regions for me. If you dare to come to my Qin Wangfu to ask for business, you must have enough appetite and enough guts. If you are like the small people in the market, come to ask for a small business that fries chestnuts and earns hundreds of dollars a year, you are not afraid of other family jokes! ”

Li Yuanxing's tone became stern.

The two heads of the family hurriedly bowed down and bent down: "I'm confused, we should do our best!" ”

Li Yuanxing took out another box, and after opening it, it was a more exquisite pearl.

"This, only in the sea over there in Lingnan can be planted, Cui Changshi, you can plan it. How to tell the Feng family, how to divide the profits, how much must be transported to Chang'an for this king, there must be a plan. Although the bays in Hangzhou and Quanzhou can also be, the color can only be seven or eight percent of Lingnan, and if you want to plant, you can do it! ”

"Your Highness, it's better for me to grow sea pearls in the Jiang family. The southeast family grows lake beads, what does Your Highness think? ”

"Four Great Lakes. All can produce good beads, this king is to let you fight, only competition can make the skills go further, this king requires 800,000 catties, can only be more than less, but who is better, this king wants more. Those with poor color, this king will naturally reduce the price, and if it is worse, it will be ground into powder and used in medicine, and the price will be lower! ”

Li Yuanxing said a few words, and the matter was settled.

How to divide, how to calculate.

For Cui Junsu of the public household department, and for the private and Shi Cui Dunli, the head of the Qin Prince's Mansion, the two of them should consider the details.

The tea has already come up, Wang Jishan sat on the main seat and began to make tea, the low-level maids did not even have the qualifications to enter the door, even Lan Qiu waited for April, and did not dare to stay here to listen too much, and after sending the refreshments, they all retreated to the door.

"There is no one from this Bashu?" Li Yuanxing asked suddenly.

"Bashu is here, but his status is too low. I didn't even dare to enter the door, and after confessing my guilt, I went back and asked the head of the house to come over in person, thinking that it might be almost there. Cui Dunli explained.

In fact, the identity of the person who came is not low, and it is also the identity of the eldest son.

But the people sitting here are at least the level of the head of the family, the scholars of Bashu were originally second- and third-rate scholars, not to mention the families of Cui, Wang, and Lu, but they are one level behind the families of Xiao, Zhu, and Lu in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and naturally the eldest son of a grandson does not dare to enter the door at all.

"Okay, let's talk about the rest first." Li Yuanxing picked up a cup of tea and held it with both hands: "Thank you tea!" He gave the king a gift. At this time, everyone acted in unison, and even took out a small notebook, obviously preparing to record.

The Cui family took the lead and gave up seventy percent of the cotton business to Daibei. Your manpower is already insufficient, and the next thing, Daibei will also have to contribute, as for the profit of cotton, the financial resources and manpower of several companies in Shandong before, you are considering making up for it. ”

Cui Junsu looked at Cui Dunli, and then at Wang Jishan.

He wasn't afraid of missing this benefit, he just didn't understand what was going to happen.

"Your Highness, if you can, please tell me about the next step. We and other families can cooperate with Your Highness! Cui Dunli said on behalf of everyone.

"Actually, it's very simple, the southeast side is quite stable, and their task is only one, to make money."

Everyone nodded, this statement was already extremely straightforward.

"There are many generals in Daibei, it can be said that all the generals of the Daibei family add up, and the rest of the families in the Tang Dynasty add up to more than seventy percent. There must have been some wars in the Western Turks in the past two years, and another advantage of the Daibei family is that they have good relations with all the ethnic groups in the steppe. With the Daibei family, Datang can get at least 100,000 mercenaries on the grassland and destroy Gaochang within three years. ”

Li Yuanxing's tone changed, and he was no longer the laughing look.

Speaking of this, Li Yuanxing stood up: "This king once promised Feng An, he will do a good job, and this king promised him a king with a different surname." This promise can also be given to any family, destroy Gaochang within three years, completely annex Yiwu, and this king has three county kings in his hands. Although this county king is not as majestic as this king, the king of Qin, the king is the king. ”

It's not a joke, even if Li Yuanxing's words are a joke.

But on the whole, Li Yuanxing's statement of being crowned a king is not a joke.

"Report, the patriarch of the Liu clan in central Sichuan asks for an audience!"

"Xuan!" Cui Dunli shouted outside the door.

The Liu family in Sichuan is still a descendant of the Han royal family, but these years have really come to an end. It was even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties that the Southern Dynasties suppressed the family, which made them even worse.

After the patriarch of the Liu clan entered the door, he knelt down.

"Get up, after the Han royal family, don't kneel down easily. At that time, Zhuge Wu waited for the southern barbarians, so that the southwest was stable. Now your Liu family is the head, the Bashu family will do their part for my Tang Dynasty, and this king will protect your first-class family position. ”

"Your Highness, please!"

"All families, train the children of the clan, and this king must be elite. The king of the Bashu states will order the training of 100,000 soldiers, and your families will also train 50,000 soldiers, and then train 30,000 elites of ethnic minorities. Three years later, this king wants you to charge forward and expand the territory for my Tang Dynasty. Make a worldly achievement! ”

The head of the Liu clan in Sichuan was tightly on the ground, he didn't dare to answer, training private soldiers was a big crime to exterminate the clan.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin's orders, although he can do it with peace of mind. Don't talk about your 30,000 people, even 300,000 people, Your Highness doesn't care about it. Let your sons and nephews stay in Chang'an, and when Your Highness goes on an expedition to Goguryeo in April next year, you will know that your 30,000 people are only worthy of Your Highness to pave the way with a pioneer bridge! ”

Wei Zheng's tone was extremely harsh, and the Liu clan in Sichuan had no choice but to respond loudly: "I, the Liu clan in Sichuan, am willing to die for the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Get up, sit down!" (To be continued......)

PS: There will be one more, come on.
