Volume 2 Chapter 216 What Face Does the Emperor Want?
As far as Li Chengqian is concerned, he still has to look at He's request for help.
No matter how nice others say, if tens of thousands of people really pour into the Ming Dynasty, it may not be a good thing.
He can accept Qi Bi He Li, it is because there is historical reality to endorse Qi Bi He Li.
What does Heru have?
Helu doesn't have a fart!
To bet on their loyalty?
Don't be funny, let's open the eyes of the sky, why bother to open the blind box?
Isn't it fragrant? Isn't Xue Rengui good?
Why do you have to stare at a tree with a crooked neck?
The point is that this crooked-necked tree is second-hand......
Approaching the afternoon, Changsun Chong and the others finally arrived at Sun Moon Mountain.
Along the way, they have suffered a lot.
In Chang'an City, when did they suffer this sin?
Of course, everyone still thinks it's worth it at this time.
At least, what Fang Lao Er and others did, they also did.
People, don't you just live a breath?
If it weren't for this breath, they might not have been able to make it this far.
"Well, I say, guys, why are you doing this?" Li Chengqian walked out with an incomprehensible face.
Seeing Li Chengqian, even if the eldest grandson Chong was tired of becoming a dog, he still insisted on standing up straight, and said in a decent manner: "See Your Highness." ”
The eldest grandson Chong is a person, he really follows his father, and he holds it at all times, just like this, which makes Li Chengqian very uncomfortable.
However, now it is indeed the time for the Ming Dynasty to employ people, and Li Chengqian has no choice.
He is safe for the time being, but Wenchen, well, the Ming Dynasty is really barely a Wenchen, and Wang Xuance is alone.
It can't be helped.
It's not that there is no reading and literacy on the grassland.
Yes, but he was either serving Murong Fuyun in Fuqi City, or holding Murong Shun in Chishui City, and he really couldn't find a few scholars for these tribes he had gathered.
"Alright." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "It's all here, can I still drive you back?" Fang Er, hurry up and take them to wash up, and then fill their stomachs, what is going on? ”
Although his heart was happy, on his face, Li Chengqian was quite helpless.
Changsun Chong and the others didn't say much, and along the way, Li Jingren and they also told them about the rules of the Ming Dynasty.
Don't look at it now, almost everyone in the world knows that the Ming Dynasty was tossed by Li Chengqian.
But Puxi and them are still confused, even Li Qinjian doesn't know Li Chengqian's identity.
Li Chengqian will not deliberately reveal his identity, and now is not the time.
When the Ming Dynasty was founded, everything should be stable.
After the eldest Sun Chong and the others were taken away, Li Chengqian asked, "What about Li De's entourage?" ”
"In the back." Liu San said, "I have arranged for someone to bring them here." ”
Li Chengqian still attaches great importance to these people.
Of course, what he values more is actually Li Jing's art of war.
That is the existence of the Tang God of War, and his art of war, no one in the world can match it.
"Good wine and good food are entertained, don't treat people badly." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he turned around and went back.
This is not in a hurry, it has to be considered in the long run.
Besides, Xue Rengui is not very old now, but he is not in a hurry.
For Xue Rengui, he has a long-term plan.
Not to mention anything else, the future Youth Army is Xue Rengui's team.
Otherwise, how could he easily throw Xue Rengui into the Young Army?
It's just a matter of getting him acquainted with it first.
After he became familiar with the Young Army, Li Chengqian would let him go to the account of He Li.
Let Qi Bi He Li take him for a period of time first, a famous general, who was not born a famous general, must have fought on the battlefield.
A famous general who is almost demonic like Huo Qubing is just one in the history of the past and present.
Back in the big tent, Li Chengqian began to get busy again.
It's not a hassle, it's nothing more than drawing, after all, it's his specialty.
Through the restructuring of canteens and workshops, he found out, and it was almost a fool's dream to count on the Ming Dynasty to revitalize business by itself.
How many people are there in the Ming Dynasty?
Purchasing power and spending power are there, and even if you get your hands on a rare treasure, no one can afford it.
Of course, everyone thinks that the restructuring of the canteen is like taking off your pants and farting, which is not right.
At the very least, that's a good start.
As for making money, you still have to start with Datang.
There is no way, there are rich people in the world, and Datang accounts for more than half.
After drawing the drawings, Changsun Chong and others came.
"Now that you're here, tell me what you want to do?" Li Chengqian said, "Let's talk about it first, this king doesn't raise idlers here, if you can't do anything, then go back as soon as possible, you have also seen what happened in the Ming Dynasty, food is in short supply, and if you eat with one more mouth, you will spend more food." ”
Li Chengqian said this in the slightest unceremonious manner, and everyone had no temper at all.
"Your Highness, we won't be worse than Fang Er, right?" Xiao Yue said helplessly.
Fang Yiai, who was sitting on the side, immediately quit and said, "What do you mean?" We are also a centurion now, you are a white body, what qualifications do you have to compare with me? ”
Xiao Yue was dumbfounded.
Damn, I can't say that.
"Your Highness, if there is anything we can do, if it can't be done, we don't know if we have to do it first?" Changsun Chong said.
Li Chengqian smiled, shook his head and said: "What you say, this king doesn't dare to agree, in the Ming Dynasty, if you do, you can't do it, if you don't do it, you don't know what it's called?"
This king sent the army out on the march, and the army thought the same?
What does the king want him to do with such an army?
Fang Er, what do you say, what do you want to do? ”
What does Fang Yiai's grievance have to do with me? At that moment, he immediately stood up, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "But all the tasks assigned by His Highness can be done, and if they can't, they must be done, unless my young army dies alone, I will definitely complete the task." ”
"This is the attitude that the Ming court should have." Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.
Changsun Chong and the others were stunned, good guys, are they so rigid in their love?
"Your Highness, can I join the Cadet Army?" Li Decheng asked.
Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Yes, but in today's youth army, not everyone can join, it needs to be assessed, even if it is this king, you can't let people in without authorization." ”
"That's natural, I'll go to the Cadet Army tomorrow to participate in the selection." Li Decheng said.
Soon, several more people decided to participate in the selection of the Cadet Army, and Li Chengqian had no opinion on this.
But just when Changsun Chong and a few others also wanted to go, Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Okay, don't go, in the end, the young army is full of some noble children of Chang'an City, what does that look like." ”
The rest of the people were immediately annoyed.
This matter is neat, I knew it and opened it earlier.
"By the way, there are some more difficult things in the Ming Dynasty now, do you want to try it?" Li Chengqian said.
How could he possibly put everyone in the Boys' Army?
If you want to develop the business of the Ming Dynasty, how can you not fight the forces behind these guys?
As far as what is included behind them, who is not a big landlord?
"Your Highness, please speak." Eldest Sun Chong asked.
Li Chengqian didn't ink, and said bluntly: "I think you have also seen that the commerce of the Ming Dynasty is quite backward, and this king has been worrying about the commerce of the Ming Dynasty recently, how to open up the situation?" ”
Everyone could hear it, and there was a black line in their heads.
No, you call it a backward business?
Is there a business?
It's clearly nothing, okay!
For a while, everyone was a little helpless.
"It's not that simple to develop a business." Changsun Chong said, "Although I don't know much about the Ming Dynasty, as far as I can see today, the Ming Dynasty really has no commercial output, and this situation is ......."
He couldn't go on.
You say, what can this Ming court sell?
"It's okay, the Ming Dynasty will soon have piles of goods produced, the question is, who are we selling to?" Li Chengqian said, "I am not satisfied with you, this king planned to open a field with the Tang Dynasty in Taoyuan, so that the two countries can communicate with each other, but he was stopped by some people who are interested in it.
Today's problem is that there are no businessmen in the Ming Dynasty who are willing to come, as long as there are merchants, the king believes that the Ming Dynasty will eventually become a pearl outside the Saiwai, shining in the world! ”
Everyone understood that Li Chengqian wanted their family to come to the Ming Dynasty to do business.
In short, it is to bring money to support the Ming court.
Of course, that's what they think, but that's not what Li Chengqian thinks.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have the confidence to break the commercial Dead Sea of the Ming Dynasty?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.
What can I do?
It's not just that I have to say yes.
"Have faith." The eldest grandson smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that if he wanted to take root in the Ming Dynasty, he had to ask for help from his family.
Li Chengqian smiled heartily: "Okay, sure enough, it is worthy of being the handsome man of my Ming Dynasty, this king believes you, within half a month, the business of the Ming Dynasty will finally open a new side!" ”
The faces of the people were like ashes.
Is there a time limit?
It seems that I have to rush 800 miles to Chang'an to deliver the letter.
In fact, Li Chengqian really didn't covet that money, he really wanted to attract some businessmen to come in.
But today's Ming royal court is so poor that how many businessmen will come here to do business?
There was no way, so he paid attention to Changsun Chong and the others.
Of course, this also has the advantage that it can allow Changsun Chong and others to see the Ming Dynasty's ability to turn decay into magic.
If they weren't shocked, they really thought that the Ming Dynasty was as dilapidated as they saw.
sent away Changsun Chong and others, and Li Chengqian asked people to give the drawings to Zhang Erniu.
As long as there are drawings, the efficiency of these guys in doing things is also leveraged.
That night, Changsun Chong and others reluctantly began to send letters to their families.
There's no way, if you don't ask your family for help in this matter, they really don't have that ability.
The next day, a few fast horses left Riyue Mountain and headed straight for Chang'an.
When the news reached Chang'an, everyone was helpless.
You say, you are a big fart in the Ming Dynasty, what do you want? What other business development is there to do? And let's go to business!
What are you selling?
Isn't this a bamboo pole that knocks on the big guys?
It's clear that it's a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return!
But I can't help it, this is a letter from my son, so it has to be a little meaningful.
In fact, for Li Chengqian's situation, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, who doesn't know that he is poor.
Being able to come up with this method probably drove him to a dead end.
However, in the early years of Zhenguan, everyone was actually poor.
Of course, this poverty is relative.
It can only be said that it is true that the family can't take out much copper money, but there is a lot of land.
After all, land is hard currency these days.
And the big families like the Cui family, after learning the news, it was like winning a big victory, and it was called a daze.
But if you really want to talk about it, this Man Datang is richer than them, and it seems that there are really not a few of them.
Those who really have the ability to support Li Chengqian financially, they are definitely counted as one.
But the question is, why did they help Li Chengqian?
Many people think that at this time, can these scholars invest in Li Chengqian and ease their relationship with each other, so as not to take revenge on the scholars in the future.
Those who have this kind of thinking can only say that they don't know about the scholars at all.
Emperor Yang of Sui didn't get the Shi clan, Li Er didn't get the Shi clan in his life, and Wu Zetian was about to go crazy, but he still didn't get the Shi clan.
Why?
Everything happens for a reason.
Emperor, the supreme power above 10,000 people, yes.
But it doesn't mean that the emperor can do whatever he wants.
No way!
In the vast history, there has never been such an emperor.
Never......
And what is the meaning of the existence of the scholars?
To put it bluntly, it is to compete for power with the imperial family, and in layman's terms, it is to curb the imperial power and avoid the emergence of an emperor who can really decide on a word.
If it really appeared, it was definitely not a blessing in the world!
And the Shi clan, even if there is no Cui Lu, King Zheng will also have Zhao Qian and Sun Li.
Even if one day, the scholars are really annihilated in the long river of history, there will definitely be another group of people to replace them.
Rights need checks and balances.
So, what is there to offend Li Chengqian? Defending their own interests is the foundation of their resistance to imperial power.
When the warriors were celebrating with their crowns.
Empress Eldest Sun was not idle.
After learning that Li Chengqian had reached this point, Empress Changsun picked up Li Er and feasted his ministers in the palace.
Li Er was unwilling, but he couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles of his eldest grandson.
There are many banquets in the palace, and you can choose any one.
But who among the people attending the banquet didn't know what this banquet was, even if Li Er and the eldest grandson didn't mention a word, but everyone was like a mirror in their hearts.
When the banquet ended, everyone was helpless.
They can understand Li Chengqian's current difficulties.
But the problem is, this is really a waste of money!
I thought about the meaning before, and I got it, this Li Er and his wife personally feasted them, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they were exchanging parenting scriptures at a banquet, and they were concerned about this junior, and they were concerned about that son and nephew, who could not understand what they meant?
On the way out of the palace, the eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
"You're talking about it boringly." Wei Chi Jingde said, "Let's forget it, you are an uncle, help your nephew, where is there so much nonsense." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji is so angry, but he also has no tricks to take Wei Chi Jingde.
This guy, the whole hob of meat, you squeeze him, he is really capable of breaking the family and coming out of the face of an elder, can you learn from him?
"The left and right are also doing business, and let the family arrange for someone to go through." Qin Qiong said.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "This business is not easy to do. ”
"If you don't do it, you won't do it?" Wei Chi Jingde said, "I heard that your family Sanlang has sent you a letter, can you really not pull out a dime?" ”
Wei Chi Jingde's speech is as ugly as ever.
The crowd shook their heads, and no one paid any attention to him.
After they went back, they all made arrangements.
It's not a good business, but it has to be done.
It's not that Li Er and the eldest grandson were invited to the banquet, the key is that everyone else has done it, and you haven't done it, this face can't be said.
As for the arrangement of each family, it is varied.
The most ruthless is Wei Chi Jingde, there was nothing to do with him, and his son hadn't even moved yet, but he smashed five hundred pieces with a big hand.
Don't think it's 500 or less.
If it is only in terms of Yulu, Wei Chi Jingde estimates that it will take more than ten years to save so much money.
In the early years of Zhenguan, everyone was the same.
And like the eldest grandson Wuji, he has deployed a thousand pieces of materials, no problem, Wei Chi Jingde is right, he is an uncle, he can't be stingy.
After all, Empress Eldest Sun is still alive!
However, he is a chicken thief, and he has a thousand materials, which is urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty.
Most of the others are the same, just thinking that they are losing money in business.
Anyway, they prepared with the intention of playing in the water.
In the palace, Li Er shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Guanyin, do you think I am embarrassed today?" The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that he was rich all over the world, but there were only more than a thousand in his inner money, and he wanted to ......"
He couldn't go on.
Even if he didn't say a word about Li Chengqian today, he still felt hot on his face.
Shame on you!
"Your Majesty thinks too much." Empress Changsun said, "I don't want them, this is business, and Your Majesty doesn't know the ability to do business?"
Thinking that at the beginning, the Jingyang Wang family, the Yang family, and the Li family were almost too poor to open the pot, didn't they just climb to the top of the list and became the number one businessman in Chang'an City.
It's to help them make money, and they don't know what to do yet.
Next time there is such a good thing, it can't be cheap. ”
Hearing Empress Changsun's words, Li Er smiled.
Sure enough, women are reasonable.
"It makes sense, next time there is such a good thing, it can't be cheap." Li Er said with a smile.
For Li Er, he only needs one reason, and he can quickly convince himself.
Face?
When you become an emperor, there are still a few people who care about face!
What kind of emperor do you care about face!
It's just that none of them expected that Li Chengqian really didn't knock them off.
In business, who was Li Chengqian afraid of?
In terms of your business experience in this era, how do you compare it with later generations?
It was like a joke.
What Li Chengqian lacks now is not money, but a real businessman.
He needs a group of merchants to stir up this stagnant water!
He needs a group of people and merchants to sell the output of the Ming Dynasty.
And the best place, of course, is Datang, of course, Chang'an.
As the most prosperous city today, as long as Chang'an can be popular goods, it can naturally be sold all over the world.
It's obvious.
