Chapter 397: Uncle Li, I'll be your student

The samurai brothers wanted to go berserk.

That's 10,000 yuan, enough for them to have fun in Pingkang Fang for a long, long time.

But here in Li Yunze, it is only one percent?

You black-hearted profiteer!

Because I was afraid of going home and breaking my leg, I could only pant and sulk.

Here, the samurai Tong was also lost in thought.

Too much investment, too little gain. And this business is very risky, if you go out and don't get anything, it will really be a loss to grandma's house.

Li Yunze didn't urge, looked at Wu Hua and Wu Shun who were looking at him curiously, and smiled and motioned to the fruit plate on the table, "Eat as you like, you're welcome." ”

Wu Shun is timid, shy and shy and does not dare to act.

Wu Hua's courage was great, and after hearing this, he bent his crescent-like smiling eyes, and directly reached out to take the fruit to eat.

It's a nice feeling to eat fruit in the winter.

It's not about the taste, it's about being able to eat things that others can't.

After pondering for a long time, the warrior finally spoke, "Xian... Nephew, I'm just hearsay about this, can you tell me more about it? ”

"No problem."

Li Yunze said with a smile: "Ying Guogong knows the price of spices in Chang'an City, right?" Those black-hearted Hu merchants are about to sell spices at the price of gold. ”

"It just so happened that I learned that there is an archipelago of spices growing on an island that is full of spices, and the spices on the island are inexhaustible. The goal of this trip to sea is to bring back tens of millions of catties of spices. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Wu family's eyes suddenly changed.

If this is the case, you can get 10,000 catties of spices for 10,000 guan.

At the price in the market at this time, it is more than several times more profitable!

Looking at the look on the face of the Wu family, Li Yunze smiled lightly.

Greed, you are the greatest original sin in this world.

With a profit of 300 percent, he could sell the noose, and he never doubted that any nobleman could endure it.

Of course, Li Yunze is not a liar, what he said is true.

It's just that too much supply will cause prices to plummet wildly, and profits will plummet, resulting in a large-scale backlog that can't be sold or not.

The first trip back will definitely suffer a big loss, after all, only those rich families can consume at a high price.

With such an expensive thing, which family of ordinary people would eat this.

The market is too small and the supply is too large, of course, you can't make money.

At that time, Li Yunze will use the method of forcing the repayment of the loan to take away the fleet and spice stocks.

After that, the price is set to the point where the common people can accept it and consume it on a large scale.

Of course, Li Yunze is not cheating on the nobles.

The first batch of goods must be loss-making, but we have to go again later.

The Spice Islands are there, and there are countless spices on them, and some of them are picked in rounds, and if there are more of them, they will naturally be able to recover the capital and make profits, but they are not as huge as they thought at this time.

"If Ying Guogong has a heart, I can lend 10,000 yuan to buy shares, and if there are children in the family who are willing to go, they can bring at least 100 people to pick spices for a group, and they can also take a share of 100 percent."

Samurai Tong's eyes lit up, "That's very good." ”

The nobles naturally have their own plans, and it is enough to follow them for the first time, as long as they remember the route, they can earn it themselves in the future.

Anyway, everyone is calculating with each other, and it doesn't matter who is sorry for whom, and whoever suffers deserves it.

Li Yunze's real purpose was just to provoke Kaihai to occupy the land of Nanyang, slaughter the local savages to prevent future troubles, and to crush the spice business of Hu Shang, and at the same time let the people of the Tang Dynasty eat cheap spices.

If you don't make money, he doesn't lack this.

The two sides quickly discussed and decided, and Wu Shitong borrowed 10,000 yuan, plus sent his second son Wu Yuanshuang to lead a hundred people into the gang, which was calculated as two shares, accounting for two percent of the spice business.

As for the interest, it is according to the standard of the imperial court money, which is the so-called monthly money.

What is the standard?

One hundred percent!

That's right, it's 100 percent, that is to say, if you borrow 10,000 yuan, you will have to return 20,000 yuan after a year!

This is quite low, but in the case of the people, it is even higher.

Of course, Li Yunze also said that the interest will be calculated from the time he goes to sea, and he will inevitably come back within a year. If you return beyond the time, or if you don't bring back millions of catties of spices, then don't talk about profits, you don't want the capital.

Basically, all the nobles involved in this matter have chosen this model.

The money is not paid by himself, it is all borrowed from Li Yunze, and then someone is sent out to follow.

Their calculations are very loud, and if they do, they will naturally benefit a lot. If it doesn't work, I don't have to pay anything.

The nobles are also very shrewd at times, and they are not bad at all in terms of calculation.

It's just that compared to Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others, it is far worse.

Because of Li Er's acquiescence, everyone can participate in it, and there is no need to bear any bad reputation.

Except for Wei Zheng, almost all the important ministers joined, and they were very grouped, not the emperor's family did not give them a chance to join at all.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are also like other nobles, claiming that their families are poor and have no money, so naturally they can't come up with 10,000 yuan.

It's just that they didn't choose to borrow money from Li Yunze, but only arranged for their sons and nephews to take people to sea.

In addition to these two smart people, the eldest grandson Wuji, who originally wanted to eat more and occupy more, and was the only one who took out the money by himself, also took the initiative to come to Li Yunze after being called to the palace to teach a lesson, saying that the money he invested had to be used to do other things, and he only sent people

Pay.

Even, even Hou Junji hurried over, saying that he would not borrow the money and only send people.

Obviously, this is getting pointers.

The eldest grandson Wuji was instructed, and Li Yunze could understand, after all, he was the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen.

But Hou Junji... thought of Hou Junji's daughter marrying Li Chengqian, and understood.

After discussing the matter, Li Yunze arranged a banquet to entertain the guests, and warmly entertained the guests to go around.

Wu Shi Tong took Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers to the stable, and the news that there was a god horse in Lijiazhuang had already spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

When they came over, they were really gods, and the giant horses in the stables with shoulders taller than people were enough to shock them.

As for Wu Hua and Wu Shun, there were no female rolls in the mansion, so Li Yunze had to entertain them personally and took them to the greenhouse vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

Needless to say, I know that Samurai Tong did it on purpose.

"Uncle, what is this?" Wu Hua stretched out his hand and pointed to the purple eggplant, his little face full of curious inquiry.

"Don't call me uncle." Li Yunze was depressed, and was called uncle by Emperor Wu, which was really unpleasant.

Wu Hua looked up, "Then what are you called?" ”

“... Forget it, uncle is uncle, call Uncle Li. Li Yunze shook his head, reached out and picked the eggplant and threw it into the basket, "This is called eggplant, it is very delicious to cook in oil, and I will take it to the kitchen to cook later." ”

"What about this?"

"This one is called cucumber, and it used to be called courgette. It is crisp and delicious, and can not only be used for cooking, but also washed and eaten directly. ”

Picked two cucumbers, washed them in the water tank and handed them to the Wuhua sisters, Li Yunze took them to pick two baskets of vegetables in the vegetable area.

Handing the vegetable basket to Zuo Hong to take to the kitchen, Li Yunze took the sisters to the fruit area.

Pick a few strawberries, wash them and hand them over.

Xiao Yakou bit hard, the juice splashed deliciously and juicy, and more importantly, the sweetness made Wuhua and Wushun smile.

"Taste this." Li Yunze took off another string of red grapes and handed them over: "Go and wash it in the water tank yourself." ”

Even the children of the Xungui family are very satisfied with the sweet fruits in winter.

Entering the fruit area of this greenhouse, it is like a monkey entering the peach orchard, and he wants to take a bite of everything.

When the two sisters finally quieted down, one of them held a cantaloupe and munched happily, Li Yunze breathed a sigh of relief, took a dragon fruit and peeled it and ate it.

"Uncle Li."

Wu Hua on the side spat out the fruit, looked up at him and asked, "You told Aya that you can get back 10 million catties of spices, is it true?" ”

"Hmm." Li Yunze then responded, "It's almost, if it's not enough, I'll naturally make up for it." ”

Wu Hua followed up and asked, "Can you get so many spices back, can the people in Chang'an City finish eating?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunze suddenly looked at him in surprise.

Wu Hua's brother and Lao Tzu didn't see this, but a little girl actually saw it, which is really strange enough.

He simply squatted down and asked suspiciously, "How do you know you can't finish eating?" ”

"Aya used to only use spices in the kitchen when he was serving guests, and only a little bit."

Wu Hua took out a handkerchief and wiped the red juice from the corner of Li Yunze's mouth, "A-Niang said that spices are very expensive. The honorable homes are only used when entertaining guests, and the homes of ordinary people cannot afford to eat. ”

The little girl's eyes were full of curiosity, "Uncle Li brought back tens of millions of catties of spices, how can he sell them?" ”

"Ha~~~"

Li Yunze smiled dumbly, "You Aya and your brothers can't see it, you can actually see it, it's really good." ”

"They're dazzled by the money fans who make money."

When Wu Hua laughed, his eyes were like crescent moons, "Why does Uncle Li pit so many people?" ”

Glancing at Wu Shun, who was ignorant and immersed in eating melons, Li Yunze smiled slightly and explained, "A very important thing in doing business is demand. Datang's current productivity, only grain is in short supply. Ordinary food is available to everyone

planting, so I chose scarce food. ”

"I set up a ranch to produce meat and milk. Build greenhouses and grow out-of-season vegetables. Dig ponds, raise fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles. As long as these things are priced at the right price, they basically don't have to worry about not selling. ”

"As for the spices." Li Yunze paused slightly, thought for a while, and decided to make it clear to Wu Hua, "This thing is a luxury and useful, but it is not necessary." I want the people of Datang to be able to afford to eat and live a better life. ”

Wu Hua nodded and asked, "Why do you want to pit Aye?" ”

"It's not called a pit." Li Yunze explained seriously: "It is to give them a chance to do things for the people." Tens of millions of catties of spices were transported back from overseas after hardships and dangers, and supplied to the people of Datang at a low price, so that the people could afford to eat spices that they couldn't smell in the past

Good things, good things to make them famous. ”

"And it's better to find something to do for them than to eat, drink, and be merry all day."

Wu Hua thought thoughtfully, "Uncle Li, what are you talking about the demand?" ”

"Datang's productivity is too low, and basically everything is lacking. It seems that there is no shortage of luxury goods, but they are also luxury goods that ordinary people can't afford to use. What I want to do is to meet the needs of the people of Datang as much as possible, starting with eating, so that everyone

Be able to know honor and disgrace with enough food and clothing. ”

Wu Hua thought quietly for a while, and then smiled toothily, "Uncle Li, you have real skills, I'll be your student." ”
