Chapter 208: Auction of the Grassland
"Your Highness wants them to die sooner?"
Zhou Huairen is also a veteran in the shopping mall, and he can see clearly what Li Xiang wants to do at a glance.
"We can't directly participate in the auction, now there are very few people who can come up with money, and they will definitely find someone to keep an eye on us, if we directly participate in the auction, they will easily find this pit, and when the time comes, instead of throwing money into it, it is very likely that they will get the money back, then we will not be able to pit them."
Li Xiang sighed, to say that the family property of the major families is too thick, and it is indeed fatal to be able to keep other projects open with millions of yuan, no wonder Li Shimin wants to weaken them, if such a sum of money is united, the emperor's position will not be stable.
"We can start with the price of war horses, if we can push up the price of Chang'an City, then they will be able to see the profits of the grassland, and when they start to fight, I believe there will be nothing left."
Zhou Huairen has actually been thinking about this for a long time, but he is not sure yet, after all, if you want to push up the price of war horses, it also needs a lot of money, Li Xiang's money is pressed on the land, and he can't get much in a short period of time, if the money is less, it won't play much role in this.
Now the war horses in Chang'an City have reached three hundred yuan, even if they are pushed to a high place, it is extremely limited, unless there is a large-scale war, and our side loses in the war, then the imperial court will buy a large amount of war horses, then the price of war horses will rise.
But now that the imperial court has just won the war in the southwest, Tuyuhun has given a large number of war horses, and if you want to make the price of war horses rise at this time, it is almost impossible.
"Pushing up the price of war horses, it was possible in the past, but now it doesn't have the conditions, but your proposal is still good, I thought of another way."
Li Xiang smiled mysteriously, Zhou Huairen next to him didn't understand what Li Xiang was thinking, if you want the major families to invest more in the southwest, then you must let them see the profits, before Zhou Huairen said to push up the price of war horses, this is indeed a catalyst, but in this situation, a large number of war horses in Tuyuhun have arrived in the capital, and the goods are far more than the consumption, even if we want to push up, it will take too much effort.
"What does Your Highness mean?"
Zhou Huairen thinks that few people surpass him in business, but he has also seen Li Xiang's strength, and often an idea can turn stones into gold, so he has always wanted to be able to figure out Li Xiang's thoughts, but unfortunately he doesn't have that ability.
"This has to be cooperated by the emperor, the emperor has to make a holy decree, for example, several major armies in Chang'an City need to replace war horses, of course, it is impossible to replace them all in one year, we can replace 5,000 to 10,000 horses every year......"
When Li Xiang said this, Zhou Huairen understood what was going on, that is, to draw a big pie for the major families first, don't you have doubts about investing in the southwest? Let's draw a cake for you first, even if you replace 5,000 war horses a year, this is more than a million yuan.
As long as the people of the major families get this news, they don't worry about not being moved, the laws and regulations promulgated by the imperial court have never been lost, and they will definitely believe it, of course, they may not necessarily buy yours at that time, in case the imperial court and Tuyuhun reach any agreement, Tuyuhun will provide a large number of war horses at once, and the Turks in the north can also be used, so the imperial court will not want it immediately, then your investment will be honestly thrown there, and it will be regarded as your construction of the frontier.
At the same time, the price of war horses will also drop significantly, and the imperial court can spend a small part of the money to replace war horses for its own pro-army, of course, the loss is the major families.
"His Royal Highness's plan is really wonderful, but we have to move a little faster, according to what I have learned, at the latest it will be ten days, the southwest auction will begin, the major families are responsible for the auction, the court officials are supervising the side, and they directly opened the auction hall to the grassland."
Zhou Huairen stretched out his hand and counted the days, it is true that there is not much time left for us.
"Send the letter to the palace."
Li Xiang did not slack off on this matter, but hurriedly wrote a letter, he can't appear in the palace now, after all, he is now a sick person.
The Cui family's mansion.
After Li Xiang returned to the capital, Cui Sanye had already sent a few posts, hoping to visit him, who knew that Li Xiang was now sick and couldn't ask for it, so it seemed that we were a little ignorant.
Regarding the issue of auctioning Tuyuhun grassland, Cui Sanye has always been a leader, but his heart is a little bottomless, although he thinks this is a sure deal, but he also wants to hear what Li Xiang means, although this matter was raised by Li Xiang first, but Cui Sanye always feels a little unsteady, if you can meet Li Xiang's face and understand Li Xiang's true thoughts, then this investment can be regarded as a dare to invest.
"Yuncheng should go to Liangzhou, right?"
Cui Sanye touched his jade pendant and said.
"Back to the third master, I have received the news yesterday, and I should be able to arrive at sunset today, in addition to us, other families with five surnames and seven wang have also arrived, as well as some small families from all over the country, this time it is indeed a grand event."
Although this auction was not as anticipated as it was because Li Xiang rushed back to the capital, because of the auction of these grasslands, the major families did give enough face.
"Hasn't the emperor approved the auction plan we formulated?"
The major families have formulated their own set of auction plans, but the emperor has not approved them, according to the ideas of their major families, the area of a single grassland should be as large as possible, only in this way can some competitors be eliminated, even if they bring all the money of the family, I am afraid they will not be able to auction a piece of grassland.
"The emperor's previous plan is contrary to ours, the emperor hopes that the area of a single piece of land is as small as possible, so that the family will not be dominated ......"
The big butler didn't continue, the interests of the court and the major families have always been contrary to each other, you expect the other party to do things your way, I'm afraid it's impossible, the court has always wanted to weaken you, how can you let you usher in a second spring on the grassland?
"Three masters, three masters, ......"
Just when the two were discussing the problem, Cui Yunzhu came back from outside, this guy is still the county magistrate of Chang'an, and he is the most well-informed......
