Chapter 163: Stoneing Li Ke to Death with Money (I)
Businessmen have been profit-seeking since ancient times, and the word profit contains too much content, but in the Tang Dynasty, there is no interest more important than the interests of the family, and the future of future generations.
In this era, there is nothing better, after all, if you can read in this era, you are really a master.
Ashilu's words made everyone ponder, "I agree. A person suddenly said, "Actually, it's good to establish a chamber of commerce, although we didn't know each other before, but we have heard a lot, since this is an opportunity, to establish a chamber of commerce, nothing to help each other, our business is naturally getting bigger and bigger, after all, many of us must complement each other." ”
"Yes, this is a good idea, not to mention the matter of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, even we ourselves do set up a chamber of commerce."
"I think after our first group of members, the other members want to join and have to be invited by one of us, and some of them have to agree."
"Yes, in addition, if you think about it, in fact, when some businesses advance and retreat together, it is easier for us to resist risks."
Many businessmen have nodded in agreement, because the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is a matter of good and harmless, this is a loose organization, everyone usually chats, get to know each other, isn't this the case for doing business?
"The matter of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, my suggestion is that we don't publicize it today, after all, if there are some golden members who also want this qualification, His Royal Highness the King of Shu may not be easy to refuse, after all, His Royal Highness the King of Shu cannot offend all the gate valves at the same time." After everyone discussed, Bai Ling spoke loudly again.
"Those people don't like this, do they?" One of them said with some hesitation.
"I don't think so, it's very simple, they are eager to save their reputation, and the best way to redeem their prestige is from His Royal Highness the King of Shu." The other man spoke.
When others think about it, it seems that this is really the case.
And how embarrassed the gate valve family was before, how eager they are to save their prestige now, for these gate valve families, money doesn't care at all, because as long as they maintain their current status and prestige, money is not too easy.
With this tone, everyone immediately figured out that this was indeed the case. So naturally, everyone has no opinion on this proposal.
The news and content of their meeting were immediately known, to be honest, Li Ke was also a little surprised, the more he integrated into this era, the more he found that the ancients were also extremely sensitive, but no one provided them with enough information.
For this Chamber of Commerce, to be honest, it was really a bit unexpected by Li Ke, originally in Li Ke's expectation, he was the first to come up with it, but he didn't expect to be the first to be found by a group of businessmen.
Of course, Li Ke won't stop it, it's good if someone comes out, he can use it if he gets it, if he wants to let him come to everything, it's too tiring.
But for the time being, don't worry about Li Ke for now.
Li Ke didn't care about it here, but the eldest grandson Wuji and the others knew the news, but they didn't know what Li Ke invited these members to do, but they could guess. Inviting these people is nothing more than money or something, after all, it costs a lot of money to renovate the entire Chang'an City.
The eldest grandson Wuji soon had a way, those ministers were useless in this matter, and they had to get the help of the Zheng family in Xingyang, and presumably they would not refuse.
"Eldest grandson Sikong, if you have any method, you can just say it, if it is targeted by the officials, I think we will not be able to do it for the time being." The man opposite the eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly, this man represented the Xingyang Zheng family.
There were just the two of them in the room at the moment.
"It's not official, I was at fault last time." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a calm face.
Is there something wrong with this man's spurt? In a fluttering sentence, one hundred and twenty-nine lives died! Of course, he also knew that he was not to blame Changsun Wuji for this matter, in fact, they discussed it with Changsun Wuji behind it, and he also knew that Changsun Wuji and their interests were one.
"Then Lord Sikong, please speak." This man breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't official, at present, they couldn't afford to offend Li Ke.
Everything has to be paid attention to step by step, how can there be such a way to catch people to death, if the other party loses, forget it, the other party is obviously a big victory, at this time to continue to go up is not looking for death? Although the other party is not strictly speaking, he is not a prince, but if he is not a prince, he is also a prince!
"This matter, to be precise, only costs money, and even if you spend money, even if Your Majesty knows, I'm afraid there is no way to say about you, or anyone who knows has no way to say about you, and even Your Majesty has to thank you. But at the same time, it can make trouble for Li Ke. The eldest grandson Wuji spoke.
"What's the solution?" This man was a little curious, such a good thing, how could he not know before?
"You should know about Li Ke's preparation to renovate Chang'an City?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked lightly.
"Yes!"
"It's very simple, there are two steps, the first step is to buy the stone factories near Chang'an City and increase the price! Double the plus! His Majesty's Daming Palace has been completed, and the demand for stone has basically gone, although the later maintenance still needs to be partial, but the price to the royal family naturally wants to be reduced. ”
"This excuse can be used externally, saying that it is to ensure the priority construction of the Royal Daming Palace, and in order to thank His Majesty for his merits, these stones are sold at a 20% discount on the market price, but because of this, they are theoretically not sold to the outside world, and if they are sold externally, the price will be doubled." The eldest grandson Wuji spoke first and said the first goal.
The man's eyes lit up immediately, this is indeed a good idea, all the main streets of Chang'an City are paved with stone slabs and masonry, but many roads are old because of their age, and the stone slabs have also been dilapidated, revealing the mud underground, and once it rains, it will be muddy.
There are also roads made of brick and stone, which are even more damaged, and some of the alleys between the markets are dirt roads.
The other party will definitely not maintain these dirt roads, but the brick and stone roads alone, if the price is doubled, it will be enough for him to drink a pot. Especially the stone slabs, which were very expensive in ancient times, and the same color slabs such as those used in the imperial palace were even more expensive.
Although the roads in Chang'an City are not so extravagant, they all use stone slabs of the same color, which is basically what is the use, but even so, the price can be called extravagant.
You must know that the entire Chang'an City was not built by a dynasty at all.
In addition, if the masonry is fired, if it is doubled, the price will naturally be more expensive, after all, the number of uses of this thing is more, because the masonry roads in Chang'an City are much more damaged than the paved stone roads!
