"Wow-"

Li Dalang vomited, and said to Li Kui with tears: "Brother, I really can't drink it!" ”

"Another bowl, it's so good!"

Li Kui doesn't care what Li Dalang vomits, this guy dares to deceive himself by pretending to be sick, he has to accept such a result. As for the dead?

Don't be stupid, Li Kui is not a doctor. But the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, who doesn't read basic medical skills! Regardless of whether he is self-taught, or follows Su Shi, An Daoquan and others, he still knows a lot about some common medicines.

Otherwise, he dares to make medicinal wine?

As far as Li Dalang's careful thinking is concerned, he can't be deceived at all. Although the seriously ill patient asked Li Kui to diagnose and prescribe medicine for treatment, he probably had to pay for a coffin in the end. can eat medicine that doesn't kill people, and Li Kui can still write a few complete recipes to fool people.

Mixing bitter tea soup with coptis water, this kind of idiot can think of it. Li Kui sniffed out the trick just by smelling it.

No, Li Dalang didn't say anything about his own hardships, he was almost full of Li Kui just by drinking the medicinal soup.

He really couldn't stand it, hugged Li Kui's thigh and cried: "Brother can't live with my brother, I'm not sick at all, this shipyard has only been working hard for two or three years, and it has lost twenty or thirty thousand." If it goes on like this, if it doesn't improve, this business will be yellow! My brother and I can't help it, thinking that after the southern shipwrights are invited, the situation in the shipyard will be better, so I will tell my brother. It's not a brother who wants to hide it. ”

Li Kui pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "That's not right! Are you still lying to me? ”

"How dare you!"

Li Dalang raised his finger and pointed to the sky and swore: "If I, Li Da, deceive my brother, I will be thundered five times in the sky." ”

"Uncle, my eldest man is telling the truth, he really doesn't dare to lie to you."

Zhang Yulian watched Li Dalang's ugly pleading from the side, and she couldn't bear it. Well, this is also her husband.

It's just that the authority of the uncle in the family is too great, so that her husband has been living in the shadow of Li Kui.

"You still dare to say that you didn't lie to me? The cost of the wharf is not low, plus the wages of the shipwrights you have been paying, and the timber stockpiled by the shipyard. Plus the cost of the sunken ship. It would take 60,000 or 70,000 to say that, but you said that it was 20,000 or 30,000 short? You're not going to use your own money to subsidize this shipyard, are you? ”

Li Kui pointed at Li Dalang and said that he was not angry. He doesn't care about losing money, he invests a lot.

Ruan Xiaowu said coldly on the side: "No, uncle is not such a person." ”

Li Dalang turned his head to look at Ruan Xiaowu sadly, this guy has the opportunity to please him on weekdays, but at a critical time, he still comes to step on him, what about conscience?

"Brother, if I see something wrong in the accounts, don't blame me for letting the third uncle rule you......"

"Don't, brother, I'm not hiding my accounts." Li Dalang said eagerly: "Brother, you forgot, 100,000 guan was given to me at one time!" ”

Li Kui was puzzled and asked, "Is there a problem with this?" ”

"This money is lying in the treasury, I feel distressed." Li Dalang cried and said like a wealth fan: "If you lend it out, how much interest will you have to make." Isn't it a waste to put it in the storeroom and not even get a cub? ”

"You lent money?"

Li Kui looked at Li Dalang in surprise, this guy used to hate the rich man who lent money, and often cursed behind his back. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he became the person he used to resent.

Li Dalang said nervously: "This is not okay? ”

Then he muttered in a tangled way: "Our family is poor, and we really didn't have anything to eat when we were young, so we went to the rich man's house in the town to borrow money, but we always borrowed a little money, and finally ended up with a debt that people couldn't afford to pay." In the end, the family didn't even have the money to repair the roof. I would never have done such a tasteless thing, and the interest rate on the money I released in Dengzhou City was the lowest. ”

"How much?" Li Kui said with a smile.

There are also several kinds of money borrowed by rich people, one is to lend to the people who have property, especially the peasants who have land, the interest rate is extremely high, and when the debt cannot be repaid, the land is used to offset the debt. This is no different from the open robbery. This is also the reason for the serious land annexation of the Great Song Dynasty, and many of them also have official backgrounds.

Just like the situation he encountered in Yingzhou at the beginning, this is basically the case.

The other is to lend to merchants, with credibility as a guarantee. The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are quite reputable, and they will not borrow money and refuse to admit it, and the situation of running away will occur. Whereas, the merchant sells goods through purchases and repays the loans. This is basically a business done by Huitong Bank, which requires a lot of capital, but once it is done, it is a great wealth. Of course, even if it is creditworthy, it must have a certain ability to repay, otherwise the money from the bank will not be able to borrow.

There is also a temporary loan to people who need it urgently, such as medical treatment and funeral, and these loans are basically poor. Even the poor who do not have property, most of them repay their debts by people. It's similar to what Huang Shiren did.

Li Dalang does all three, and his income is very considerable.

He stretched out three fingers, looked at Li Kui pitifully, and explained: "I am already very conscientious, much lower than others. ”

It is rumored that this guy is a good man, Li Kui estimated that the interest should be very low, and asked, "Three points of annual interest?" ”

As soon as Li Kui finished speaking, Li Dalang was like a raccoon cat whose tail had been stepped on, and suddenly exclaimed: "Three points of annuity, what do I eat?" Three points per month. ”

Li Kui snorted angrily: "Don't you hate the rich dog very much? Why did you do such a terrible thing? ”

"I'm fine, it's much darker than I am." Li Dalang said bitterly: "I borrowed money from a businessman who had discounted the capital to go to Goryeo to run the sea. Borrowing money for people who don't have money to get medical treatment. You know, these people don't have the money I borrowed, so they can only wait to die. After the business was turned over, the money was repaid to me. If you really don't have any money, when you get better, you can set a contract to sell yourself, and you can pay back the money after a few years of living without freedom. Brother, I have countless living people in Dengzhou, and my reputation is not good. ”

Li Kui was a little speechless, he really didn't like this kind of usurer's face.

In particular, Li Dalang still feels good about himself.

He asked Li Dalang to ask the shipyard's bookkeeper to bring the account book, and then after reading it overnight, he confirmed that Li Dalang did not embezzle it privately. It's not that he is reluctant to let Li Dalang steal this money. It's because if Li Dalang is very selfish, he won't be able to do a good job in Beijing no matter what.

Li Kui did not prepare the shipyard to make money, let alone expand his business. It's to give yourself a way out. He was already preparing to enter the officialdom, and he might be able to drill the camp as an official. But he has already branded the shadow of his relatives, and he has a close relationship with the Liu family. Emperor Zhao Xi is on the throne, of course he doesn't have to worry about himself.

But what if Emperor Zhao Xi dies and Zhao Ji ascends the throne, what will he do?

His personality is too straight, and he looks down on Zhao Ji extremely much, and I am afraid that the chance of being a minister is not great.

Stay in the court, aggrieved. It's better to take advantage of your youth and occupy the next enclave overseas. It's not that he thinks there is no future for rebellion. Instead, after a profound study of the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, it was discovered that in the Great Song Dynasty, rebellion was against all bureaucrats, landlords, and old wealth. Regardless of the interests of the generals and civil officials, they will not be the same as the anti-thieves.

In this way, how can the rebellion succeed.

As for mobilizing the masses......

The people of the Great Song Dynasty were very stupid, stuttered, and categorically refused to rebel. But all over the world, there are not too many people who don't have anything to eat, and he estimates that according to his own urgency, he can't start it.

Come to think of it, you can only develop an enclave overseas. Then gather strength.

But the style of the Great Song Sea Boat did not conform to his mind. Even the ships used by sailors lacked the ability to fight. The boat draft was too shallow for the installation of artillery on the ship's side. Ramming angles are not installed, there is a lack of deterrence at sea. At the same time, the speed is not fast. The only good thing is that it's very easy to control.

But this is not the sea ship that Li Kui wants.

He wanted the kind of brig, the kind of wooden cruiser with the ability to go to the sea. That kind of big guy is what he wants.

He couldn't afford to lose this man by using the old-fashioned tactic of engaging at sea at every turn.

But the current situation of the shipbuilding industry in the Great Song Dynasty made him a little bit upset.

Li Dalang is a good keeper of family property, this guy used to be very poor, only when he was poor, so poor that he couldn't even eat, he would take money very seriously. If you are reluctant to invest, there can be no breakthrough technology. If you want to build a big ship, it will be very difficult. Li Kui firmly believes that according to Li Dalang's small calculations, even if the shipyard is yellow, he can hang a signboard on the original site of the shipyard - pawnshop.

But this is not in line with Li Kui's expectations.

His quest for the Grand Cruiser has not weakened.

And the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty are definitely the best craftsmen in this world.

As long as he is rewarded, he is confident that the results will go in the direction he envisioned.

Thinking of this, Li Kui found Li Dalang again and asked him to arrange for someone to post the notice he had written last night. Then he said to him, "I don't want the money I earn from the loan, you keep it." The shipyard has a deficit of almost 60,000 yuan, and I will bear it. You've got a good one, paying shipyard craftsmen who don't have a job to make ends meet. These people have to be raised, and they have to be well raised. ”

"Secondly, I decided to ask Qian Zhuang to find skilled boatmen. The key to the big ship is still the keel. The keel technology of the joint is not good, and the original shipbuilding skills are abandoned, so that the craftsmen are not used to it. But it doesn't matter, I'm ready to spend a lot of money, as long as I can solve this problem and build a big ship, I will reward 10,000 yuan! ”

"Ten thousand!"

"You're crazy!"

"But!"

Li Dalang is not Wu Dalang's five-short figure, but he is always wilted, which makes people look more depressed. But Li Kui opened his mouth to reward 10,000 yuan, and it suddenly seemed as if he wanted his life, making his whole person explode.

Li Kui glanced at the other party angrily and said, "Don't be the proprietor of this shipyard." I see that you have a lot of ideas about doing business, so you might as well do your money business. ”

"No, brother, give my brother another chance, and I will definitely build you a big ship." Li Dalang said fiercely: "I will come out of this ten thousand." Brother, I have never accomplished anything big in my life, if I can build a big ship, I will be considered a success in this life. ”

"Are you willing?"

Don't talk about money, when it comes to money, Li Dalang's distressed tears are about to fall, but for the sake of his ideals, he let it go.

Soon after, a notice was posted near the gate of Dengju.

Lee's shipyard has invested heavily in technology, if it can complete the construction of a large ship, Lee's promises to reward ten thousand dollars!

For a time, there was a rush to spread the news in Dengzhou City.
