The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 369

"Small business? Who? You?" Li Muyun knocked on the table a few times, and waited for everyone below to quiet down before saying impatiently.

"My lord, my lord envoy!" Seeing that something was wrong, Jiang Renbin hurried out to smooth things over: "These people can't speak, don't be angry, let me tell them, I'll tell them!"

"Hmph, tell me, I'm a little tired!" After Li Muyun finished speaking, he leaned back, fell on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jiang Renbin looked at Li Muyun's appearance, gave a wry smile helplessly, and then said seriously to the slightly excited businessmen: "My lord came here to let you make money, you don't listen to what your lord has said, and you express your opinions indiscriminately, don't you really want to?" Is it okay to be kicked out of Shuozhou?"

"Don't worry, my lord, it's not that we made random comments. We really can't afford to lose so much money. It costs a penny every twenty miles. This, this is too expensive."

"What's the price? It's not expensive at all." Sun Liang couldn't sit still at this time, stood up and said, "Don't you usually spend money on shipping goods? Do you know what the road in Shuozhou used to be like?" How many days do you have to walk a hundred miles? Look at the current road, how many hundred miles can you walk in a day, don't say you don't know how to calculate this account. "

"Well, this is what I said, but..."

"It's nothing but nothing. This time, Lord Shijun took care of you, so he called you here, and wanted to take you to make a fortune together. In the end, you said hello, but before you figured out what the Lord was talking about, you just said one or two. Jump up." Sun Liang looked at Jiang Renbin who had retreated to the side, and instead of looking at each other, he turned back to the merchants and said, "Listen carefully, the government will only talk about the next thing once, how to choose It depends on yourselves."

"My lord, please speak!" The merchants were all honest after being reprimanded.

"The Lord Shijun called you here this time, mainly to ask if you want to form a joint stock company and invest in Shuozhou's official road together. In the future, we will collect tolls and share dividends according to the proportion of the shares invested."

"What?!" The merchants were all taken aback, feeling like they were being tricked. If they had known this earlier, which fool would have confronted Li Muyun just now.

The most important thing these businessmen do every day is business, and the second is transportation. No one knows better than them how many carts will go back and forth on the road in Shuozhou every day, and no one knows better than them how many carts will travel every day. Far.

According to the data they know, combined with the standard of five cents a hundred miles that Li Muyun just mentioned, the so-called toll fee will definitely exceed ten thousand guan in one year.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the merchants were a little red, and one or two were so excited that they almost jumped up. Li Muyun, who was three feet high just now, has now become the God of Wealth.

After realizing their mistake, several merchants couldn't care about anything else, they stood up together and bowed to the ground: "My lords, my lords, just now the villains have blind eyes, misunderstood the kindness of the adults, and the villains are wrong." Yes, wrong!"

"Wrong? It's easy to say!" Li Muyun didn't pretend to be asleep at this time, and sat up straight again: "I worked so hard to think about you, but you kindly treated me like a donkey. Now it's just a mistake and it's over?"

"This..." Several top businessmen in Shuozhou looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing that all the merchants were silent, Li Muyun shook his head disdainfully: "How about this, I will make a bet with you, and I will only bet two thousand coins! People will pay you two thousand guan; if you participate in the shares and get back your capital within two years, then each of you will pay me two thousand guan, how about it, do you dare to bet."

Now that the conversation has reached this point, the merchants all understand what Li Muyun means, and after a long time of daring, the last sentence is the central idea!

But this is also good, the central idea is clear, and everything else is easy to handle. After understanding the spirit, the merchants swear to the sky that they will give away the betting money in the afternoon, guaranteeing that they will get a lot of money.

As for the proportion of investment in the government, Li Muyun doesn't need to worry about this issue. There are many people below who can continue to discuss. Anyway, as long as the holding ratio of the merchants does not exceed the government, they can invest as much as they like.

……

In just one afternoon, the money used to build the road was piled up in the original prison in Shanyin County. Only this time, the officials of Shuozhou Prefecture no longer mentioned the issue of money or not, and the progress of the project was overturned all at once. Doubled, the entire Shuozhou Mansion, regardless of day or night, worked continuously for twelve hours, working overtime to catch up on the construction period.

With the further development of the official road renovation project, the construction of the new city on the grassland has also begun.

It's just that the city is a bit small, and the combined length and width are less than two miles. It's more like a courtyard than a city.

But don't mention it, even the courtyard is built according to the standard of a city, it's just reduced several times.

……

On the other side, the manpower assigned by Li Muyun to Yu Zhining was also in place, the three students from Taixue, the leader of which was Tian Yuhe.

After these three people came to Yu Zhining's subordinates, they were still obedient and serious in doing things, but Lao Yu always felt that these three people were different from ordinary Taixue students, whether it was their speech or manners or how they treated others.

Simply, the old man found an opportunity to call the three of Tian Yuhe together, and brought out the confusion in his heart.

Tian Yuhe and the others were naturally respectful to Zhining and did not dare to hide anything, so they started talking about it from the day Li Muyun first came to Taixue, and continued to talk about the bet.

Yu Zhining never thought that Li Muyun had such an experience in Chang'an, he was dumbfounded after hearing this, and he let out a long sigh after a long time: "Sweet and sweeping the floor!"

"Uh..." Tian Yuhe and the others all shut up at this moment, even if they didn't wink, they knew that the old man in front of them was on the verge of going berserk, and they would be targeted by this old man immediately if they were a little provocative.

But the facts proved that they only guessed the beginning, but didn't guess the ending. When the old man Yu Zhining couldn't find someone to vent his anger on, he still pointed the finger at them and swung the stick down. The three who were beaten ran away with their heads in their hands.

In the end, the old man was still puzzled, left the three people in a state of embarrassment, took his old servant, got on his horse and headed all the way to Shuozhou City, intending to go into the city to find trouble with that kid Li Muyun.

At this time, Li Muyun was counting the entire [-] copper coins sent by those merchants, and he didn't realize that his troubles were coming.
