Fighting for hegemony: Summon Lin Yi, the iron cavalry of Xiliang at the beginning Chapter 825 Don't get paid for nothing, you must make a contribution
Chapter 825 Don't get paid for nothing, you must make a contribution
"good!"
At this moment, the aristocratic family and the businessman reached a rare consensus and directly chose to accept this condition.
Compared with the absolute profits here, the emperor's requirements are simply too low. People like myself are definitely lucky to be chosen. If we don't seize this opportunity, we will definitely regret it in the future.
Comparable to a country's market, the profits here are absolutely sky-high.
Moreover, there is also the support of the Great Liang court, which is equivalent to reducing the risk to the lowest point. It can almost be said to be a business that is sure to make money without losing money. Anyone who is not stupid will agree.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but smile. Coming to the palace this time was definitely a huge gain.
Even Zhang Wanhao couldn't help but smile and murmured: "This is not so much the emperor discussing business with us, but rather a reward from the emperor to us and others.
Woohoo, the emperor finally saw our contribution, God is really wise!"
Thinking of this, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, and there was a feeling in his heart that he had finally overcome all the hardships.
The emperor not only rewarded me with a commendation order, but now also gave me such a big piece of cake. This is the result of my silent persistence. It is really touching.
"The Emperor has many business talents. Giving us such a big piece of cake now is definitely a reward for us. Your Majesty is so wise!" Wang Hui's heart was beating wildly. Does this mean that the Emperor has fully recognized himself and others?
?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get a little excited. This was a blessing after all the hardships.
Everyone nodded!
When he was in Xiliang, the emperor owned many caravans. At that time, Mi Zhu, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the general manager of Xiliang's commerce, accounting for nearly 70% of Xiliang's business.
This means that if the emperor wants to monopolize the Zhennan market, there will be no problem. The emperor definitely has the strength and does not need to share profits with anyone.
The emperor's arrangement now is, to put it bluntly, a gift from the emperor to himself and others!
Gift!
Everyone knew clearly that this was definitely a benefit that the emperor gave to themselves and others. This was a benefit that was delivered to their doorsteps. The emperor was simply too good.
Compared to the surprises of several major families, the businessmen were even more ecstatic. For them, it was undoubtedly pie-in-the-sky.
However, there are also some people with foresight among them who directly see the problem.
This person is Hong Xi!
Looking at a group of excited businessmen, he couldn't help but shake his head and said solemnly: "No reward for no merit, and taking advantage of the emperor in vain, that is definitely a way to die!"
When he first rose to prominence in Xiliang, he followed Lin Yi's policies and made his fortune.
Following Mi Zhu on his long journey to the Western Regions, he successfully established himself on the trade routes of the Western Regions and accumulated more and more wealth. Now he is one of the most powerful people in the north.
He is more or less aware of the current emperor's character. He is usually a harmless person, but if you offend him, you will definitely die without a burial.
In the past two years, countless people have confirmed this, so he was full of vigilance.
Hiss!
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt like they were waking up from a dream.
This sentence makes sense. Those aristocratic families had been peeled off several layers of oil and water by the emperor before. Everyone knew this well, and they were still gloating about their misfortune.
Nowadays, the emperor doesn't ask for anything from people like himself, but yet he gives such huge benefits to people like himself. This is a bit scary.
As Hong Xi said, taking advantage of the emperor is simply the word death written on the head.
Since the rise of the emperor, anyone who took advantage of the current emperor will be dead. He must not take any chances.
"That makes sense. We cannot take advantage of the Emperor, so we must show sincerity." A veteran wealthy businessman frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
In the crowd, Huang Sanze suddenly thought of a question, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Haha, the noble family wanted to pay for a world banquet before, but the emperor did not agree. This is our opportunity."
Makes sense!
Everyone's eyes lit up. This was an opportunity presented to them. It would be foolish not to seize it.
Hong Xi and others did not hesitate at all, they stood up directly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty shows such great love to us, we are really grateful.
But we deserve it, and we must do something for Great Liang. This banquet for the emperor will cost a lot of money, and we are willing to contribute!"
Isn’t it just money?
Businessmen are most in need of this. As long as they can please the emperor, it is worth spending any amount of money.
"What?"
"Are you kidding? Our family has already decided to contribute, how can we let you snatch this opportunity?"
"Everything comes first. Do you think our family is all poor?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Wang Hui and others changed drastically, and they glared at these businessmen. These guys were trying to steal business from them. This was simply asking for death.
The emperor finally had a good impression of the family, how could he let these profiteers cause trouble.
"Hmph, so what about the aristocratic family? The Emperor of Great Liang is the biggest. Everyone works for the Emperor. Do you still want to beat us?"
The two sides looked at each other angrily and were about to start a fight.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi laughed secretly in his heart, but said with a gloomy look: "Feasting for the people of the world for three days is my promise to the people of the world, how can I borrow it from others.
Do you think I will have no money when I rule the world?"
This sentence was not unimportant, and it made everyone on both sides quiet down, for fear of angering the emperor.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"We have absolutely no intention of doing so. In fact, the Emperor is so kind to us. If we don't express it at all, how will the people in the world look at us?"
The aristocratic families and businessmen didn't care about fighting anymore and simply gave in.
After hearing what they said, Lin Yi's face looked much better, but he did not nod in agreement.
At this time, Cao Cao on the side whispered: "Your Majesty, you gave them such a big piece of cake this time. If you don't let them make some contribution, I guess they will be embarrassed.
I thought it would be better to accept the money and treat them as if they had bought this opportunity, so that we would get the best of both worlds!"
Pay for the opportunity?
Everyone was stunned at first, then their eyes lit up, and they immediately recognized this statement.
No matter what the reason is, it is enough to put the money into the hands of the emperor, and other explanations are not important at all.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and sighed: "Since you all are so sincere, it would be a bit unkind if I didn't agree.
That's it, please communicate with Mi Zhu, I'm not interested in money.
As for the business practices in Nanliang, you also need to communicate with Mi Zhu, so as to avoid problems!"
