In the past political struggle, Li Xiang also saw the power of all forces. Compared with them, even though he was a reborn person, Li Xiang was still a little at a loss when facing their huge power in the court.
, it is really difficult to shake them.
However, Fang Xuanling's words also pointed out the goal for Li Xiang. Although all parties are powerful now, the biggest one is Li Shimin. As long as Li Shimin's mission is completed, no matter how many enemies he has, he will at least be invincible.
When Li Xiang raised his head again, there was already light in his eyes, and he knew what he should do next, so as not to get lost in such chaos.
After the dynasty dispersed, Li Xiang returned to the East Palace.
The two girls Mengling and Mengqin were already waiting for Li Xiang. Li Xiang had given these two girls a task before, which was to receive visitors from various families and see how many people wanted to buy knives.
"Are there so many rich people in Chang'an City?"
Looking at the list recorded in his hand, Li Xiang said with some disbelief. You must know that this is 3,500 yuan for a knife. If this money was placed in a small place, he would probably be the richest man in the local area.
Even in Chang'an City, it is not easy to come up with such a sum of money. Yuchi Baolin's savings over the years are less than 4,000 guan.
"Your Highness, there are some things that we cannot just look at on the surface. If we look at the superficial income, it is estimated that all major families cannot afford it, but if we look at their secret income, we have to make a careful calculation."
Miss Mengling was trained by Queen Changsun, so she naturally knew the major families in Chang'an City very well. On the surface, her income was not much, but in fact, each family's life was very luxurious. After all, each family had its own way of making money.
Although the officialdom during the Zhenguan period was relatively clean, it was hard to say what to do outside the officialdom. Every family had merchants who were attached to them, and every year these merchants would hand over a large amount of money. If they did not attach themselves to one or two court dignitaries,
Then you won't be able to continue this business at all.
There used to be such businessmen in the East Palace, but Li Chengqian exploited them too much, and now they are all bankrupt. Not to mention paying money to the East Palace, whether they can eat is a problem.
"Have you given them a receipt as I requested?"
Li Xiang also knows that each major family has its own way of making money, but we don't want to know. You find ways to make money, and I will find ways to make your money. This is the relationship between us.
"When we return to His Highness, everyone who registers must pay a deposit of five hundred guan, and the rest will be paid in one lump sum when handing over the knife."
In Miss Meng Ling's hand was a pile of receipts, which meant that these people had all paid five hundred dollars.
"From this point on, no one from the future will accept it."
Li Xiang calculated that there were a lot of people selling it. It seemed that he had misunderstood the wealth of Chang'an City. If this was the case, he would have to cut the leeks again. Three thousand five hundred guan was out of the question.
"Then we won't make any money?"
Miss Meng Ling said with some worry that these two people were given down from the palace, which means that they will follow Li Xiang for the rest of their lives. A knife can be sold for so much money. This is something that has never been seen before. If
If Your Highness doesn't do it, wouldn't it be equivalent to cutting off a financial opportunity? In the whole day today, I received more than sixty deposits.
"You are just too honest. How can our Highness not make this money? If I guess correctly, our Highness may have to change the sales method. Just like the liquor, there is a limit."
Miss Mengqin said with a smile, and Li Xiang also noticed that Miss Mengling was more down-to-earth, while Miss Mengqin was quirky, but her loyalty to him was unquestionable.
When these two girls first arrived, Li Xiang had already sent people to keep an eye on them. After these days of keeping an eye on them, he also found that these two girls were not unfaithful in any form. Thinking about the situation of this era, it became clear that he followed a
A man is her whole life, and a man is a woman’s heaven.
"You little clever guy, you have seen everything. Let's stop for a while and we will release a message later. Because the raw materials are exhausted, we have to limit the supply every month. We will supply ten handfuls per month. Who can
If you want to buy it, you have to spend more money."
Li Xiang knows that there are still many people asking for knives, but they can't get the money together for the time being. It's not that these people have no money, but that their money is tied up in other places. If that's the case, then I'll give it to you.
Take some time to collect money.
"Is there anything else? I'll take care of everything while I have time today."
Li Xiang asked Mengqin to collect all the receipts on the table.
"When we return to Your Highness, all the heads of our village are here, waiting for you to meet us. There are seventeen of us in total."
After hearing this number, Li Xiang was still shocked. In addition to a group of farms that he later acquired, there were also some farms in the East Palace itself, and those farms were not allowed to be bought and sold, so no matter how much Li Chengqian messed around, those fields still belonged to him.
"Go and call them all into the yard."
Today's Datang is an agricultural country, and food production can be said to be of vital importance. Li Xiang had calculated the land in his hands before, and combined with the recent purchases, he has tens of thousands of acres.
The land, and new seeds have fallen, it’s almost the farming season, Li Xiang has to make arrangements first.
"Greetings to Your Highness."
After a cup of tea, Li Xiang, accompanied by the two girls, came to the courtyard of the front hall. More than a dozen village heads kowtowed to Li Xiang, who seemed to be in good spirits.
These people are all old people tending the crops. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to manage the farm for Donggong. Many of them inherited their father's business from their sons. Some people have come to Donggong many times to report their harvests. Some people have come to Donggong for the first time.
It is the farm that Li Xiang newly bought, Zhuangtou.
Among these people, there are two leaders. One is Tian Kui, the general manager of the East Palace Palace, who controls some farms given by the emperor.
The other one is Zhang Xifa, who owns the largest farm, which Li Xiang got from the Han king Li Yuanchang. To put it bluntly, this guy turned out to be Li Yuanchang's subordinate.
"If there is no need, I won't say more. I asked you here just to take the seeds back. After this season's grain harvest is finished, I will plant my new grain immediately. I will let people tell you how to plant it and when to plant it."
You, your job is to listen to them."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, everyone present couldn't believe their ears. Does His Highness know how to farm?
