Chapter 391: The Clown Is Myself
If someone else said such a thing, Li Er would not care about it at all.
He only believed in his own eyes, and did not see with his own eyes, how could he invest huge sums of money in the construction of a fleet.
But when Li Yunze said this, Li Er immediately believed it.
Because everything in front of you is the best evidence.
Li Er's eyes looked at Xuan Ling, the big shopkeeper of the imperial court.
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, forgive me, the imperial court really can't afford to build a fleet." β
Seeing this scene, the nobles were not disappointed, but even more excited.
It's true that the court has no money, but they have money.
Li Yunze's original intention was this: "Since this is the case, it is better to ask the nobles to raise funds and money to build a fleet and go to sea to occupy the Spice Islands." β
After a pause, he followed up, "I'm going to take fifty percent." β
The nobles who were still happy before immediately jumped to their feet.
"Why?!"
"I know where the Spice Islands are. You don't know, after going to sea, there is a fart to run around in a daze, and you can't find a place to be tired. Li Yunze raised his hand and tapped his braincase, "What I earn is wisdom money." β
It's obviously money with poor information, but it's wisdom, that is, it can get these nobles who want money and go crazy.
Without waiting for everyone to refute, Li Er, who was holding his hands behind his back, had already said leisurely, "No matter what, I want to take thirty percent." β
Fang Xuanling also jumped out immediately, "The imperial court wants to collect taxes, at least thirty percent." β
Before the matter has been skimmed, the amount of profit sharing has already exceeded the total amount, and this matter cannot be discussed.
"There's no hurry."
Li Yunze smiled and motioned, "Let's continue to wander, and when we are done shopping in the market, we will talk carefully about building a fleet and going to sea to find spices at dinner." β
To say that the people who are most concerned about this matter are not those nobles who want to obtain a large amount of returns by looking for spices, but Fang Xuanling, the great housekeeper of Datang at this time.
At this time, the price of spices in Datang was very expensive, and even the nobles would only use it when entertaining guests.
Although taxes were also levied on the Hu merchants who brought spices, the tax was nothing compared to the profits made by the Hu merchants.
Fang Xuanling, who firmly believes that there is a lot of wealth in the world, watched the Hu businessmen earn the gold, silver and copper coins of the Tang Dynasty, and he had long wanted to solve this super matter.
Continuing on, there is the largest area of fruits and vegetables in the entire market.
There is nothing too new here, and basically the fruits and vegetables that are sold here are all available on weekdays, and at most the price is cheaper.
Facing the puzzled gazes of the nobles, Li Yunze, who looked stunned, said lightly.
"These things can still be here in the winter."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
In winter, the weather is cold, except for the warm soup supervisor can also provide some green vegetables and dried fruits through the hot springs, there are no other fruits and vegetables to speak of.
If you can still eat fruits and vegetables in winter, others can't say it, anyway, the nobles will definitely rush to it, even if it costs several times the price, they don't care.
"Before winter comes, people's homes can store more weeds."
Woad is commonly known as bok choy, and it is most suitable as a pickled dish. There are many cellars in the homes of the common people during the winter.
Li Yunze pointed to the yellow sprouts and said, "This is the same, it tastes better when pickled with chili peppers." However, it should be noted that it is not allowed to be obtained by the Silla and Baekje people. β
Yellow sprouts are Chinese cabbage, after perennial cultivation and domestication, not only taste good but also can grow a large one.
Li Er looked at the neat stack of yellow sprouts and asked suspiciously, "Why is this?" β
"They will say that pickled cabbage is from their country."
After that, Li Yunze took over a basket of chili peppers and signaled, "Everyone knows this thing." β
With the promotion and popularization of Hedi Lao Restaurant, everyone naturally knows this new spicy crop.
Before the introduction of chili peppers, the most important source of spiciness, in China, was the vermilion in Wang Weishi.
"Every festive season, I think of my relatives, and I am full of Zhu Yu, one less person".
As a representative of spiciness, one of the five major flavors of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, chili pepper was immediately popular inside and outside Chang'an City after Li Yunze's introduction.
It is also because of the appearance of chili peppers that the promotion of hot pot at the bottom of the river has been promoted in disguise, and many people have entered the restaurant just to taste the chili pepper.
"Chili peppers are good as a flavoring agent, but you can't eat too much." Li Yunze gestured, "Otherwise... People who eat a lot know it. β
As soon as these words came out, many people's faces were very exciting.
I ate too many chili peppers, and it was very painful when I was going to be gong.
As one of the former victims, Li Er smiled hard and didn't speak, he knew that Li Yunze must have something else to say, and now he was just talking.
Sure enough, Li Yunze's side quickly changed the topic: "It's already September, and when it's time to plant winter crops, who is willing to continue to rent out the fields with me?" β
The nobles had different expressions, and it was clear that they had other plans in this matter.
After some eye contact, Cheng Yanjin said in a joking tone, "Since it's all farming, it's not like I'll wait for myself." β
was willing to rent the land to Li Yunze before, but that was because he couldn't recruit enough people to work.
As for why Li Yunze was able to recruit enough people, it was naturally because he was willing to pay a high enough salary and take care of food.
The nobles were unwilling to pay too much for their wages, so naturally there was no one to work for them.
Now, seeing the huge benefits brought by Li Yunze's many cash crops, they actually had a plan for a long time.
Isn't it just a high-priced job recruitment, as long as you can earn more, the salary is nothing.
Li Yunze understood what they meant, smiled, nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then I wish you a good harvest." β
Then he turned to look at Li Er, "Your Majesty, you also want to farm by yourself?" β
The emperor did also farm the land, but he took the queen to open up a small piece of land in the palace during the spring ploughing, which was used to persuade farmers to mulberry.
What Li Yunze wants is a royal palace.
Huangzhuang has existed since ancient times, the Han Dynasty called Yuan, Shanglin Yuan is the most famous Huangzhuang.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Gongzhuang, and it was only in the Ming Dynasty that it had the name of Huangzhuang.
Most of the fields in the hands of the nobles were divided by the emperor from the imperial village.
Li Er didn't rush to respond, but asked, "What are you going to plant?" β
"It is mainly based on autumn sowing alfalfa grass and autumn soybeans. Now there are more and more livestock, and the demand for pasture and beans is also increasing. If you have it, grow some vegetables, radishes, cabbage, edamame, peppers, spinach, etc. In addition, I am going to plant some fruits, such as lemons. This stuff is very useful when sailing. β
Li Er nodded slowly, "The field of the palace village should be mainly grain, and it can be rented to you for up to 100,000 mu." However, when it is harvested, half of it must be handed over to the imperial court. β
"Fifty percent of the rent?"
Li Yunze was immediately laughed at angrily, "Your Majesty, is this taking me as a tenant?" If so, then why should I be so tired, just don't rent. β
Li Er was not in a hurry, and asked rhetorically, "Then how much do you say?" β
"The grain yield here in Guanzhong is almost one and a half stones, that is, fifteen buckets. The current market price is nine cents for rice, which is one hundred and thirty-five cents per acre of land. 100,000 acres, that is, 13,500 guan. β
After the calculation, Li Yunze spread his hands, "I will give 13,500 yuan." β
Li Er nodded slightly, this price is indeed not low, and Datang is busy fighting now, and it is the time when money is needed.
However, when talking about business, it is still necessary to talk about business in public, and it is not good for the emperor to come forward in person.
So Fang Xuanling quickly came out and bargained, "Please add a little more." β
Li Yunze: "But there is permission, not two sentences." β
Fang Xuanling: "Aren't you allowed to bargain?" β
Li Yunze: "Bargaining is casual, but adding money is not negotiable." β
Fang Xuanling: "It's too little, it's too little." β
Li Yunze: "The Tang Dynasty has a lot of resources and a lot of money, so is there still a lack of money?" β
Fang Xuanling: "In any case, please add one or two." β
Li Yunze: "Then forget it." β
The eldest grandson Wuji on the side was really blind, and stepped forward and said, "Why are you so hard to force each other, Fang Gong is the prime minister of the court, and he doesn't give any face?" Lijiazhuang is still sold to you by the landlord. β
Li Yunze rolled his eyes: "I gave the money." β
Li Er can't look at it, and you don't lack this money, why are you so careful, "You always have to give the landlord some face." β
glanced at Li Er, then at Fang Xuanling, whose face was red, and then at the nobles who had the same hatred on their faces, "Since Your Majesty has spoken, Fang Gong's face still has to be given." Then add an additional 1,500 guan for a total of 15,000 kan. If it works, pull it down. β
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Er, and when he saw Li Er nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it's decided." β
Li Yunze immediately turned to his face with joy, like many nobles who had won a great battle, "Everyone, this winter, I originally only wanted to supply seeds worth 13,500 yuan, but now the price will be increased to 15,000 yuan, if you want it, go to Lijiazhuang to buy it." β
As soon as these words came out, the nobles were dumbfounded.
"That is to say, those seeds were originally only 13,500 yuan, but now the price has increased by 1,500 yuan because of the face of the father-in-law?"
"Hmm." Li Yunze smiled and nodded, "That's what it means." β
The faces of the nobles at this time were really colorful.
I didn't expect that they were the last ones to pay, and they were agitating for more before that, so didn't they take the money from their own pockets?
The clown turned out to be myself!
If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to turn his face, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't figure out the details of Li Yunze, if it wasn't for the emperor's protection, if it wasn't...
The nobles really wanted to turn their faces on the spot, put the horizontal knife on Li Yunze's neck, and asked him to hand over all the good things.
Cheng Biting Jin, who had a black face, shouted, "You sit on the ground and raise the price, I can't wait to buy it!" You go out of this fifteen thousand by yourself. β
"Okay."
Li Yunze looked indifferent, "Love to buy it or not, anyway, you can't grow seeds without seeds." By the way, melons, fruits and vegetables should have greenhouses for wintering, and the money for building greenhouses is calculated separately. β
All the nobles 'convex (θΉθΉθΉ)'
This profiteer!
