"Lu Yundung, why did you come to southern Liaoning?" Li Dan looked up and down at the Fuwang Dianshu in surprise, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. I saw that he was wrapped in a fur seal skin coat and sweating profusely.

With an embarrassed smile in return, Lu Yunyuan sighed:

"My lord doesn't know, before boarding the ship in Shandong, there are people who have strong waves and cold seas, and people want to drift three times! So I bought this one. Unexpectedly, when I went ashore, I realized that the summer is not so hot at all! That's really ...... Alas! ”

Li Dan and Wu Mao couldn't help laughing anymore. Wu Mao hurriedly played a round: "It's okay, we were very nervous when we just came, but it's okay for adults to persuade us not to listen to those unscrupulous businessmen."

After coming to live for a year, I realized that the adults were really right, and they weren't so scary. In addition, there is a coal stove available in winter, so a little patience will come over. You'll find out after a few days. He beckoned him to hurry into the house.

The guests and hosts sat down, and Lu Yunyuan clearly came. It turned out that after Fu Wang learned first aid and surgical techniques in the group training, he was still unsatisfied, and he always felt that there was still something to improve.

Listening to the start of the Liaodong fight, I was moved by the idea of whether I could come to Liaodong for an internship, so I quietly wrote an excerpt to the emperor. The emperor replied to him and asked him to study under the pseudonym of Zhao Puzi for a year, so Lu Yundong, who was familiar with him, became the best candidate to play the front station.

"My lord, you and the emperor will send a closer errand in the future, this is going to the Western Regions, and my old bones must not fall apart? It's a carriage and a sea boat, I can't stand it! Lu Yunyuan had a bitter face.

"Come on, I see you're enjoying it, and you don't look like you're suffering much at all. Well, it's Black Zero. Li Dan deliberately teased him.

"Hey, if it weren't for your ability to make a fortune here, why would I be in a hurry to ask for this errand?" Lu Yundong hurriedly defended with a white face.

"Yo, do you know there's money to be made here?"

"Dare to love!" Lu Yundong pulled with his hand: "The whole Jiangxi has listened, the briquette stove is one or two or six cents, and the more Liaodong is seven or five cents!"

The Raozhou Chamber of Commerce purchases medicines, cotton yarn, cotton cloth, and cotton everywhere, and the number of each ship loaded by the Xu family is not less than 30, according to which even the Bai family in Poyang Lake has started to do boat leasing business, and the lake is full of ships transporting military supplies! ”

"That being said, the cost is really too high." Li Dan glanced at Wu Mao with a smile: "Fortunately, the number of people in Liaodong is not too large, otherwise the logistics alone will spend the silver like sea water."

Therefore, we now encourage businessmen to invest in the construction of a munitions production base in Liaodi, except for your cotton products and medicines, and to produce and purchase them as close as possible.

If you want to dump the product over there, it may be a little late. ”

This dynasty was an agrarian society that did not discriminate against commerce and was even somewhat open-minded, which Li Dan could already see clearly as he grew older and approached the affairs of the imperial court.

Although those scholars and doctors kept saying that they were still "businessmen seeking profits", they didn't dare to really do anything to businessmen in action. The reason is very simple, the previous dynasties were not interested in the development of Han culture, but the Ergu people liked to make money and count the Han people.

The Semu people can do business, but after all, the number is small and the hit is in the west, and the sea trade in the east and the salt and iron trade in the south need more cultured Han people to support, so a very thick merchant class has been formed, as well as the surrounding people who serve this group of people.

In his previous life, out of hatred and incomprehension of the merchants, Zhu Yuanzhang regarded them as accomplices of the vassal Meng Yuan, and implemented the policy of settling accounts after the autumn and killing chickens and eggs, resulting in economic disorder and a serious imbalance between income and expenditure.

Fortunately, the battle against the remnant yuan was relatively smooth and the harvest filled the hole, otherwise it would have been chaotic if he couldn't wait for Zhu Yunwen to cut the domain.

The subsequent policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was even more harmful to commerce and trade, and not only maritime trade, but also the commercial enthusiasm of the hinterland was greatly dampened.

It was only in the middle of the Ming Dynasty that this situation was improved with the progress of technology and the multiplication of the population, and the surplus labor sought a way out, which to some extent promoted the continuous development of capital sprouts since the end of the Song Dynasty.

It was wrong for the feudal rulers not to adopt such a policy in an era based on an agrarian society, but it was also irrefutable that it was a counter-obstacle to the trend of the times that had begun to change the structure of society.

Also the ruler of the feudal era, because Taizu himself and his followers were mostly from great merchants, the imperial court did not suppress commerce and trade at the beginning of its own country, but adopted a laissez-faire attitude that neither encouraged nor restricted, but instead kept the entire empire in an open state.

After experiencing the subversion of the regime in the Taizu period and the turmoil in the Jingnan period in the Taizong period, the country tended to be stable in the Ren and Xuan dynasties, the phenomenon of imperial succession and pro-vassal interference in politics disappeared, the era of Eryang dictatorship ended, and the country flourished.

The continuous development of maritime trade has led to the continuous entry of large quantities of precious metals into the empire, and consumer demand at all levels has steadily risen.

Li Dan was keenly aware of this, and used the power in his hands to bring a large number of merchants from Jiangxi, Anhui, and Henan to enter Liaodi for development and colonization, and at the same time seek cooperation with the bordering Seyan, Luyan, and even the female direct tribes.

What he needed now was the participation of the great nobles, as well as a larger amount of money than the Raozhou Chamber of Commerce had.

"How can a man have that ability? Of course, my lord is the main one, and people are just attached to the tail. Lu Yunyuan said.

"Oh?" Li Dan thought that he was really sleepy, so he came to the pillow, and he looked at Wu Mao.

"That'...... What does Chitose mean? Wu Mao asked for Li Dan.

"The prince is not alone!" Lu Yunrong laughed mysteriously:

"There are also King Peng of Nanchang, King Tan of Changsha, King of Nankang, King of Qingjiang, King of Yiyang, King of Pingjiang, King of Hengyang, King of Leiyang, King of Liling County, King of Jianchang County, King of Fengcheng County and Xinjian County Lord, a total of thirteen!"

"Thirteen!" Li Dan sat up straight and looked at Wu Mao, both of whom were surprised. "How did the prince think of serving so many royal families?" He asked in surprise.

"I didn't think about it at first, it was King Fu who went to Nanchang to visit King Peng, where he met King Tan who returned from the capital to pay homage to the Queen Mother, and when the three of them were eating and drinking together, His Royal Highness King Peng had abdominal pain.

My prince diagnosed intestinal gas, so he administered an injection to King Peng, and the result was a thousand years old. King Peng was very surprised to learn that the prince had gone to the military to learn a doctor, and the three of them talked about you.

Later, they agreed to contact their relatives when they returned, and there were thirteen families.

Well, this is on the surface, in fact, there are many royal families behind them, and before they come out, they hurriedly flipped through the list, and there were more than 170 names on it, from the prince to the lieutenant Tozakura."

"I see, you princes want to raise funds, right? Do they have any funds? Li Dan asked.

"Only the thirteen of our institutes not only subscribed, but also brought the money." Lu Yunyuan took out an oily paper bag.

Wu Mao took it and opened it, and saw that it was thirteen tickets, and after mental arithmetic, he looked up and told Li Dan: "A total of 213,400 taels." ”

"Yes, that's the number." Lu Yunyuan nodded.

"Li Dan, thank you for your love!" Li Dan first expressed his position, and then asked: "Who is there a breakdown of how much money is here?" ”

"At the bottom, at the back, there are their own drawings and handprints."

"That's good!" Li Dan nodded and turned his face: "My opinion, since there is already the First Bank of Royal Liaoning, we should put the money there, what does Mr. think?" ”

"That's right." Wu Mao agreed: "Mr. Lu, don't blame, if you want to eat Liaoning's dividends, then you can put the money into the silver school."

This bank also has shares in Sansheng, which is more credible and preserved than us, and they can use it to invest and help everyone make money.

You send the invoices from the bank to bring them back and pass them on to the kings, so that they can rest assured that the money is in the bank and not in the hands of individuals. How? ”

"Eh, that's a good idea. However, there are shares of the emperor in this bank, and Your Majesty will not be unhappy about it, right? ”

The two laughed, so Li Dan explained to him, saying that the emperor was only a shareholder and participated in dividends, and he didn't care who received money or how much money was collected on the counter. Lu Yunyuan was relieved when he heard this.

Li Dan also explained the difference between the return and risk between shareholding and fixed deposits, wealth management and targeted investment, and suggested that under the premise that the financier does not specify the form, you can discuss with the bank to match the proportion, so that you can diversify the risk and obtain a more ideal return.

"When will King Fu arrive?" Li Dan asked.

Lu Yunyuan calculated: "About a month later." How? ”

"Does he mean to let you stay in Liaoning, or will he send the money and go back to Fuzhou after negotiating business?"

"Where is the prince, where am I, I will naturally stay if he stays." After Lu Yundong finished speaking, he guessed what Li Dan meant: "But I brought three companions, if there is anything they can go back to." ”

"I mean to ask the bank to send people to set up branches in Nanchang and Changsha.

You'd better go back to someone, who should be the liaison between the government and the bank's branch, report the bank's new products and annual report income to everyone, and help them handle all kinds of business.

If you think about this person, you must be honest and reliable, and then send it to the bank for training for a while. ”

Lu Yundong promised to come down and go back to discuss, and then come to Wu Mao. This incident inspired Li Dan a lot, and he decided to immediately select a group of people and let them study in the bank, so that they could be sent to use when they opened branches in various places in the future.

Zhu Zhanji arrived in Liaoyang about ten years later than his brother, and their brother was deliberately staggered, but also because Zhu Zhanji had to wait for the documents of the military department to come down before he could complete the school

Due to the complaint of the imperial history, he had to pay a large fine, and when he got the papers, there were only two consistent tickets left on his body, and he could not even afford to hire cattle to save this money and barely go to Liaodong.

Before leaving, the fifth brother left him a ticket of fifteen taels, but he had already cast out the relationship between exonerating himself and getting the documents as soon as possible. What to do along the way?

was worried, Liu En, the shopkeeper of Raozhou Hall, came to the door and asked him to move, which was ordered by Mrs. Li's wife. When he went to Linfang, he directly arranged for Zhu Zhanji to live in Yangyue Tower, which not only prepared a bedding and other supplies on the road, but also ten tickets for one tael.

A two-wheeled carriage, a coachman, and five guards were also ready to escort him on his journey.

Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to draw another "Panasonic Chess Viewing Diagram" and a long and short sentence of Xin Qiji, which was written in cursive, and entrusted Zhu Qing, who came to see him off, to hand it over on his behalf, as a deep thank you to the Li family for arranging.

As soon as the carriage left the Shanhaiguan, there were officers with more than a dozen knights. The other party didn't ask who was in the car, just looked at the waist plate of the head of the guard and guided the vehicle all the way to Jinzhou.

Starting from Lingheyi, a group of cavalrymen with gray mid-length shirts, breeches and boots, wearing the same gray hat, and white bird feathers on the right side caught them and continued to march towards Liaoyang.

He observed that these men had a round shield on the left side of the saddle, a riding spear on the right, an embroidered spring knife on their waists, and a leather box on the outside of their thighs on the other side, which looked like a short firecracker, and they were wearing half armor and various identification symbols sewn on the left arm of their shirts.

This was the first time he had come into contact with the cavalry of the New Army, and he couldn't help but be full of curiosity: "Can such a soldier fight against the Kaers?" It doesn't look like they have a high armor rate! He looked out of the glass window of the carriage and muttered to himself.

I never expected that in Liaoyang, he, the envoy of the Five Virtues, received a high-standard courtesy. A group of cavalry galloped in the distance, and the young officer led by him asked loudly on his horse: "But the carriage of Zhu Darao?" ”

"Exactly!" The leading officer was about to ask the other party's identity, when he suddenly saw him turn over and dismount, and on his left arm and shoulder was five yellow five-stars in a circle, he was taken aback and hurriedly saluted on his horse.

After Li Dan returned the salute, he went straight to the car door, and after the door opened, he saw a middle-aged man with a big beard, a slightly drooping face like Zhu Zhanyuan, a slightly larger nose, and deep bags under his eyes.

He clenched his fists and arched his hands: "But Mr. Qichang?" Student Li Dan has been admiring him for a long time, and Mr. Wen entered Liao and came to greet him. ”

"How dare you, how dare you, there is Lord Lao Li, I am terrified." Zhu Zhanji looked at the man in front of him in surprise, who was still soft on his lips, but his fame was already so great that he was shocked.

"When I was in Beijing, I was blessed by the old lady and Mrs. Zhouji, and I didn't thank you, please accept the old man's worship on their behalf!"

Where was Li Dan willing to accept his worship, and hurriedly stopped him, so he said: "It's inconvenient to talk on the road, why don't you get in the car too, let's talk while walking?" Zhu Zhanji immediately agreed.

So Li Dan entrusted the horse to Mao Zai and got into the carriage by himself. The convoy soon continued on the road. In the carriage, Li Dan looked at Zhu Zhanji, and the other party was also looking at him.

"Eh, what a hero is a young man, the old man is really old!" Zhu Zhanji let out a sigh.

"Why did you say that, sir?" Li Dan smiled:

"The so-called old man is not only a physical change, aging, but also a stubborn person, not accepting new things, not tolerating other people's opinions, not getting used to everything, not believing that he will be wrong, etc., but I don't see these things here in Mr."

"Really? So, what do you see? Zhu Zhanji asked with interest.

"I wrote a letter from home, and I read it several times. From their stories, I see a person who calmly responds to criticism and tries to deal with it positively.

When you fell from a noble son to the dust, and became a situation where you were burdened with debts and had an empty official position, which was almost like nothing, Mr. did not sink and did not complain.

No matter what the situation is, no matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, Mr. can stand up with the same pride and look at these with a level-headed eye.

With his own ink color, he depicts joys and sorrows, joys, sorrows, and sorrows in this difficult world, and depicts vivid reality in his brush, so that he and the viewer can forget their worries and escape from suffering.

Mr. can be so calm, with a normal heart to face the fate of the world and all kinds of unsatisfactory, this is really everyone! ”

Zhu Zhanji didn't answer for a long time, and finally crossed his hands, and his vocal cords choked up: "I always thought that Huai Cai didn't meet, but he was jealous of me." After hearing these words, he knew that he should be ashamed, and he didn't dare to praise his son! ”

Li Dan smiled and took his hand: "Sir, don't worry, I have sent a letter to Your Majesty, asking Your Majesty to agree to the experience of Mr. Provisional as the Governor of South Liaoning Province, so that even if I leave office, I can recommend Mr. to stay in South Liaoning as a successor."

The first political envoy was Yao Qing, who participated in politics on the right side of Huguang. He likes talented gentlemen, and you should be able to get along happily. As for the affairs of Liaonan Province, I have written to Your Majesty, and I will talk to Mr. Pan after His Majesty's reply is decided. ”

"Everything is arranged by the adults!" Only then did Zhu Zhanji understand that letting him come to Liao was not the emperor's brain, nor was his fifth brother's fat face big enough.

It turned out that His Majesty had already communicated with Li Dan in the back, and Li Dan immediately expressed his willingness to accept it after learning that he was involved in a lawsuit.

It's half-done, that's what happened. He smiled bitterly. But after such a toss, the joint fine has been paid, and it is estimated that the imperial history should not be entangled anymore, right?
