Liu went home and lost his temper, but still had to ask someone to send 200,000 yuan to Su Ren. Sending money was a small matter, but he couldn't swallow it. Starting from cleaning up the powerful, he suddenly had a lot less people around him.
People. The originally majestic Princess Mansion has now become deserted. Who is the source of this situation? Liu Piao knows very well. Now you have to give money to your enemies. How can you not make people angry?
Chen Xu sat down angrily and said, "Mother, I'm going to kill Su Ren!"
"Nonsense!" Liu Piao still had sense and glared at his son. Let's not say whether he, a prodigal son, has that ability. Even if he succeeds, judging from the current situation, Su Ren's status in the hearts of the emperor and the empress dowager is not as good as hers.
The eldest princess will not have it easy either.
Chen Xu shook his empty sleeves: "Why? He hurt me like this, can't I get some justice?"
Of Liu's three children, except for his daughter Chen Ajiao, only Chen Xu is the most like him. Losing the title of Tang Yihou is not a big deal, nor is losing an arm. As long as he has the status of the eldest princess, others
There will be. While sending people to send money, at the same time comforting his son, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
Liu's prostitute was the last one to send money, not the most, not the least, a total of two hundred thousand. Looking at the narrow piece of silk and the square seal of the Guantao Princess's Palace on it, Su Ren finally smiled.
. What he has been waiting for is this one, not because he cares about the money, but because he is waiting for Liu Piao to bow his head. Liu Piao is the eldest princess, and has the support of the Empress Dowager and the Empress. She can walk around in the Han Dynasty. Since she gave him
The money comes, which means they will hunker down for a while.
Sima Xiangru recalculated the donated money: "The total amount is 13,826,000 yuan, which is 3,820,600 yuan more than our initial investment. If we include the future sales of houses,
No matter what, it is expected that there will be a profit of 5 million yuan, which means that after excluding the expenses, we can earn almost 10 million yuan!"
"Ten million dollars, this is a big man's annual tax!" Wen Dang opened his mouth in surprise.
Su Ren shook his head: "Too few. Real estate is a violent industry. It seems that our price for the houses is a bit low. In this way, except for those houses that are to be given away, the rest will be sold at 50,000 yuan each!"
"Fifty thousand? Can this be sold?"
"Let's see!" After answering Wen Dang's question, Su Ren took Sima Xiangru's account book: "By the way, who else hasn't sent money?"
Sima Xiangru was completely speechless: "There are still a few, let me just forget about them? Why bother to kill them all?"
"This is not called killing them all, this is called killing chickens to scare monkeys. His Majesty has already tasted the benefits from the construction of the Imperial Academy. The renovation of Chang'an City is already in his mind, and he hopes to make money next time!"
"Is this what you and His Majesty have agreed upon?" Dong Zhongshu finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to lecture his future son-in-law with a dark face: "You are just a merchant. Even if you are Yilang now, you are not a great person. Why bother with Chang'an?"
What are all the nobles doing to you? You have to be merciful and merciful, it won’t do you any harm!”
Su Ren nodded repeatedly: "I'll remember it, kid!"
"Hmph! It's weird that you remembered it. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes. If one day His Majesty no longer trusts you, you will know what it means to be in a cold world!"
Su Ren smiled and didn't say anything back. After calculating the money and finding the person who didn't give the money, Su Ren went out with a large bundle of bamboo slips. The bamboo slips were very heavy, and after walking for a while, Su Ren missed the paper.
Come. Xiao Tingren from Nanzheng has sent samples, but Su Ren still feels bad. One is too loose, and the other is too absorbent. When the ink stains on it, it will be a black spot, which is incomparable with the rice paper of later generations.
Liu Che had been waiting for Su Ren. The food was placed on the table. A faint heat came out, and the palace people around him swallowed their saliva. As the servant shouted, Su Ren entered the room. Since the beginning of winter, it has been raining.
After two snowfalls, the weather was already very cold. Su Ren did not ride in a car today, but instead rode a horse. After the northwest wind blew, his face turned red from the cold.
Throwing down the bamboo slips in his hand, he rushed to the stove and kept stamping his feet and rubbing his ears. Liu Che shook his head: "The dignified businessman in Sichuan has tens of millions of dollars in hand. How come he can't even buy a carriage?"
Su Ren warmed himself up by the fire and had no intention of saluting Liu Che: "Who said I can't buy it? My carriage is much more comfortable than your Majesty's Royal Chariot. Aren't you worried that your Majesty will be in a hurry?"
"I'm not in a hurry. You have the money, so why should I be in a hurry? By the way, have you got all the money back?"
Su Ren nodded: "I brought them back, a lot of them, they are all five baht worth!"
"Okay! Let's divide it, then? How much are you going to give me?"
"Five million and two hundred and fifty thousand!" Su Ren warmed up a little, walked to the tables, picked up a knife and started eating meat. The cooks in the palace were very good at cooking meat. Although it was boiled, it was fat but not greasy.
, use a handful of salt to the right amount, more will be salty, less will be too bland.
"That's all?" Liu Che put down his pen, came to Su Ren, and snatched the knife from Su Ren's hand: "Did you say that if you do it well, you can make more than double the profit? I have helped you so much.
, That’s it? There are five million of mine in it!”
"Your Majesty, I am a businessman. I am honest and trustworthy in everything I do. I know how to pay back debts!"
"I'm not talking about debt repayment!"
"Haha!" Su Ren smiled: "Except for 5.25 million, the rest of the money has nothing to do with His Majesty!"
"You!" Liu Che was speechless by what Su Ren said. He glared at Su Ren fiercely: "Okay, I have figured out your skills. I will do it myself next time!"
"Okay! If your Majesty loses money by then, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
"You didn't even lose money, why did I lose money?"
Su Ren took the knife from Liu Che's hand, cut off a large piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth: "Your Majesty should know that you need someone to do something. A court lieutenant must find someone who understands the law, and in a war, he must find a general.
You have to find people who know how to make money. Your Majesty has no problem in running the country, but you can't do my job. This time, I am taking advantage of the trend of cleaning up the powerful, and the powerful people are rushing to donate, but it may not be the case next time."
Just as Liu Che was about to retort, Su Ren quickly continued: "However, I promise your majesty that next time I ask your majesty to invest, not to borrow money. In this way, the money earned can be divided!"
"Hahaha..." Liu Che laughed: "Merchant, a standard merchant, why do I ask you to do things for me? Ten years ago, if my father heard these words from you, it would be weird if he didn't chop your head off!"
"Haha, how else can we say that His Majesty is the emperor of the ages?"
Liu Che didn't want to say any flattery nonsense to Su Ren, so he grabbed a few bamboo slips Su Ren brought and read them while saying: "Don't talk nonsense, tell me the results!"
Su Ren immediately dropped the knife and rubbed his hands on his chest: "There are 239 famous families in Chang'an who can be called powerful, and 213 families donated money to build the Imperial Academy.
, there are still twenty-six families without any movement, including Han Yan, the senior official, Zang Xuan, Zhongcheng Zangxuan, Zongzheng Liu Xin, Pei Shiwu, the craftsman general, etc. The donated money totaled 13,826,000 yuan, according to the
Our estimate is that after the Imperial College and surrounding buildings are completed, we will receive a total of about 20 million yuan. After excluding the cost and His Majesty's debt, there will be about 10 million yuan left!"
"Ten million?" Liu Che was surprised by this number: "Hundreds of powerful people can just spend 10 million?"
Su Ren nodded: "I believe this is just a drop in the bucket for them. According to my estimate, these people's money, real estate, and shops add up to no more than one million!"
Liu Che opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly threw the bamboo slips heavily on the ground, stood up, and walked back and forth with a dark face. Su Ren said no more, and sat there concentrating on the plate of mutton and meat in front of him.
A jar of wine. He knew very well that Liu Che's reaction in his heart must be envy, jealousy and hatred. The famous Wenjing rule in history was naturally the capital of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his expeditions, but hiding wealth among the people was such a high-end and classy thing.
Liu Che didn't know.
The combined wealth of hundreds of powerful families is an astronomical figure. What about the princes of Guandong? Needless to say, it costs a lot of money to raise troops and build up strength. From this moment on, Liu Che made up his mind that when his father was in power, Chao
The policy of reducing vassal states that he proposed by mistake was brought up again. He could not just watch the princes and kings grow stronger, but also had to prepare for the future attack on the Huns from the north.
Su Ren had just finished finishing the plate of mutton, and Liu Che also stopped: "I have decided to ask the princes of the world to donate money to build the city of Chang'an. Do you think it is feasible?"
Su Ren burped: "I agree with the renovation of Chang'an City. As for whether the princes in the world are willing to donate money for the construction, it's hard to say. If Your Majesty insists, it may be counterproductive. You have to find a breakthrough, and then kill the chicken to scare the monkeys again!"
Liu Che rolled his eyes: "What is a chicken and what is a monkey?"
Su Rendao: "It is said that monkeys are most afraid of seeing blood. The monkey tamer first killed the chicken in front of it and asked it to see how powerful the blood was, and then it could be gradually tamed. No matter how stubbornly the monkey resisted, as long as the rooster
There was a scream, blood spurted out, and when the monkey saw it, his whole body softened and he allowed himself to be captured."
"I asked who is the chicken and who is the monkey?"
"Then it's up to Your Majesty to decide for yourself! I heard that several princes and princes will come to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit in the next year. This opportunity can be used!"
Liu Che looked at Su Ren, who felt uncomfortable all over. He lowered his head and searched around on his body. When he was about to ask, Liu Che smiled and said, "You said you didn't know. Did you already think about it? Renovate Chang'an."
You don’t need to interfere in the matter, I can handle it!”
"Okay! I'm looking forward to having some leisure time!" He burped again: "If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will resign!"
"get out!"
"You are the emperor, can you put it nicely?"
"Get out of here!"
Su Ren had no choice but to turn around and walk out. After he was out of the door, he remembered something again and stuck his head in the door and said to Liu Che: "Your Majesty, so many people have donated money. I want to set up a merit monument at the entrance of Taixue. Can you please
What do you think?"
"Get out! I don't want to see you!"
A bundle of bamboo slips was thrown over, and Su Ren quickly retracted his head. He retreated too fast and almost got his head caught. The guard standing outside the announcement room turned his face to look at Su Ren. Su Ren chuckled and stroked his hair.
