"Mr. Lin, please don't joke with me. Let's not talk about the Grand Master's affairs for now. If you don't get money from the court or from the people, where can I get money from?"
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
"Those aristocratic families are all extremely rich. If you don't make money from them, where else can you make money from?"
Lin Fan looked at Li Guozhen doubtfully and said.
Li Guozhen was speechless at this time. He went to find those wealthy families to make money. Did he not want to hang out?
You must know that throughout the Ming Dynasty, officials protected each other. This kind of relationship required money to maintain, and aristocratic families were the source of their money.
Therefore, when every official makes money, he not only makes money for himself, but also helps wealthy families to make money together.
Now that Lin Fan asked him to go to a wealthy family to ask for money, wasn't he asking for death?
"Mr. Lin, if it weren't for the fact that you are still young, I would have suspected that you were really playing tricks on me!"
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Do you know how much financial resources those aristocratic families have?
Those of us who are officials in the government need to manage things from top to bottom, and we need their support for all of this!"
"You asked me to go to them to ask for money. If I offend someone and die, I will be helpless in this court. I may even be plotted secretly. I don't know how I will die!"
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
"Haha! I said I will protect you, don't you still trust me?"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
"Alas! Mr. Lin, what you said is good, but the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the great families want me dead. Can you still fight against all of them with one person's power?"
Li Guozhen sighed and said.
"Master Li, I am not alone. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Xuanjia Army are trapped in the camp. This is 300,000 people. Plus 150,000 Jin Yiwei, this is 450,000 people!"
"If we include all the troops in Liaodong, I have about 600,000 troops. With me protecting you, who can touch you in this Ming Dynasty?"
Lin Fan said coldly.
this……
Li Guozhen was stunned at that time, yes! This Lin Fan has a strength of 600,000, and is favored by His Majesty. It seems that he has a better future by following him!
However, he still felt dissatisfied when he thought about how he was being treated like this by Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, you must keep your word!"
Li Guozhen gritted his teeth and said.
"I definitely mean what I say, but have you thought about how to pry money out of the mouths of those wealthy families?"
"Let me tell you, those aristocratic families are not cheap. They are all in the same boat. Without a reasonable excuse, I can't take them directly."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Li Guozhen said: "Master Lin also knows the difficulty in this. In the past, when we made money, we worked together to move money out of the imperial treasury."
"For example, we can make a lot of money from some silk orders, military orders, etc. from the imperial court. Now if you don't let me, I really don't know how to make money!"
hey-hey!
Hearing what Li Guozhen said, Lin Fan chuckled and said: "Master Li, I have actually thought of a way to make money for you a long time ago. Moreover, step by step, as long as you operate well, not only can you pay off the money, but you can also pay off the money yourself.
Earn tens of millions of taels of silver!"
"And you got this money openly and honestly. Even if His Majesty knows about it, there is no reason to give it to you and take it away."
"Master Lin, since you have such a good idea, why do you need to sell it to me? Tell me quickly!"
Li Guozhen said excitedly.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "You should know that I established a courier company. Recently, all the people in this courier company have been trained!"
"Moreover, we have also contacted some small merchants to help them deliver supplies. The speed of delivering supplies is naturally well received."
"It's just that the number of orders is not large, and a large number of couriers are idle. You use your connections to bring all the freight orders from those wealthy families to me."
"In this way, wouldn't a lot of money go to my drop-in courier company?
And I will give you one percent commission!"
"Don't be too little, this is definitely a huge amount."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, Li Guozhen said with a look of disgust: "Mr. Lin, you are too stingy. If you give me a commission, I will bear it. What you give me now is only a tenth of a cent."
Point, this is too little!”
"Haha! Do you know how many people my express company supports?
A total of 20,000 people! This one percent was picked out from between the teeth!"
"However, the profits in the later period of this industry are extremely large. If all the supplies of the Ming Dynasty were transported by my express delivery company, the annual profits would be tens of millions of taels of silver!"
"Hey! A little bit, that's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Isn't that still a lot?"
hiss!
Li Guozhen couldn't help but gasped when he heard that he could earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and he could get hundreds of thousands of taels.
this!
What a bargain!
Moreover, as long as I help Lin Fan raise his voice, the money owed to him can be postponed indefinitely, and at worst, it will be deducted from the commission.
"Okay! It's just to help you get some business. I, Li, still have this face, but it seems that the speed of making money cannot pay off my debt quickly."
Li Guozhen said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan saw that Li Guozhen was starting to fall for the trap, so he smiled and said: "This is just one of them, I have follow-up arrangements. Nowadays, the lives of people all over the Ming Dynasty are stable and prosperous, so this real estate industry must be a very profitable one."
industry."
"real estate?
What industry is this?"
Li Guozhen asked curiously.
"To put it simply, you just build a house and then sell the house. This business is very profitable."
Lin Fan said.
"Mr. Lin, you are exaggerating. Is the house so easy to sell?
If that were true, there wouldn’t be so many people starving to death!”
"The cost of building a mansion requires a small amount of silver. If it is to build a particularly luxurious house, the cost can be as high as a hundred or a thousand taels. Who can afford it?
How many people can afford it?"
Li Guozhen said one after another.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Master Li, you are really stubborn. If you build a house in a remote small county, it will naturally be difficult to sell, but what if you build a house in the capital?"
"kindness?
Mr. Lin, what you said is even more exaggerated. The capital is full, and there are owner-occupied mansions everywhere. Where is there any open space?
