Li Chengqian listened and thought carefully for a long time.
Finally, he raised his head and said: "Third brother, I understand what you mean. I also know that the biggest beneficiaries of the promotion of money tickets are the common people. However, in this matter... have you thought about the risks? Rich people must
They will object wildly and even take some drastic actions."
Li Ke said disdainfully: "That's just a bunch of chickens and dogs. Brother, what are you afraid of? This matter was promoted by the teacher. With the teacher here, what are you afraid of? The Changsun family is powerful, isn't it? Hasn't it been suppressed by the teacher many times? Lu family
He is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and he was killed by the teacher... Now, the implementation of money tickets is a major event that conforms to the trend of the times. Whoever dares to stand up and oppose, we will kill him. Look, teacher,
Father, you, I...we are the most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty."
Li Chengqian thought again and again, and finally shook his head and said: "Third brother, what you said makes sense, but my most important task now is to do research. I am not interested in making money for the benefit of all people. You don't want to
Advise me."
Seeing that Li Chengqian could no longer be persuaded, Li Ke sighed and said, "Okay then, first hand over the 500,000 yuan you invested in the stock to me, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Li Chengqian was surprised and said: "Are you crazy? I even said I would not invest in the stock."
"But, you are already in!" Li Ke said.
"What?"
Li Ke smiled and said: "Brother, you have already signed the agreement to become a shareholder. It is written in black and white. Please don't deny it. You are the prince."
Snapped.
He took out a piece of paper and put it on the table.
Li Chengqian stared at it with wide eyes and almost vomited blood in anger.
Isn't this his signature just now?
It turned out that what Li Ke took out just now was a book, and the upper part was covered with a piece of paper. It looked like a blank piece of paper. Li Chengqian wrote his name and peeled off the upper part, which was an agreement.
"Third brother, eldest brother treats you well, how could you harm me like this?" Li Chengqian said sadly.
Li Ke chuckled: "Brother, in extraordinary times, you have to do extraordinary things. If you don't believe me, don't you believe the teacher? The teacher has never harmed one of his own. Don't worry. There will be a time when you can make money in the future."
"Oh... that's all. Anyway, the Eastern Palace has too much money to spend, so what if I give you five hundred thousand gu!"
Li Chengqian sighed and said.
…
Lai Kingdom Government House.
Li Ke came to see Du He happily with an agreement in hand.
"Teacher, it's done. The prince has signed a shareholding agreement and sent 500,000 yuan to Wudi Bank." He waved the agreement and said with excitement.
Du He looked at the agreement and asked with some surprise: "The prince has always been conservative in character. Implementing money voting is a risky matter, but he agreed so quickly? Your Highness, tell me honestly, have you used any abnormal methods?"
s method?"
Li Ke was shocked and quickly shook his head like a rattle: "Teacher always taught me to be decent and not to do evil things. I kept it in mind. I went to see the prince yesterday and treated him rationally.
I was so moved that it only took half an hour to convince him to buy shares."
Du He saw Li Ke's sincere look and believed it.
Li Ke asked again; "Teacher, next, are you going to fool... ah, no, to persuade the father to join the stock? If the father holds 40%, it will be 2 million yuan, and he may not be willing!"
Du He said with a smile: "If my father knew about this matter in advance, he would probably have concerns, and he might not agree with it, so why not hide it from him first? As for the two million yuan... my father is invincible.
The bank still has a lot of capital, so just spend two million dollars to invest in it."
Li Ke nodded: "I think this is very feasible."
The two hit it off immediately.
…
It is imperative to promote money voting.
Fang Yiai is responsible for training personnel.
Li Kelai was responsible for designing the money bills.
Instead, Du He became a hands-off shopkeeper.
This morning, he received a letter delivered quickly.
The letter was sent from Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty.
The person who wrote the letter was Du Gou, Du He's eldest brother.
In the letter, Du Gou stated that he had arrived in Dengzhou and officially served as the governor of Dengzhou. The personnel accompanying the Dream Group had also been settled, and a branch of the Dream Group had been successfully established in Dengzhou City. Of course, the most important thing was that the old
Zheng Tou and others have chosen a suitable location to start building a shipyard. In a few months, they will be able to start building ships. At the same time, Du Gou can't wait to recruit fishermen and prepare to start training navy according to Master Du He...
Du Gou was a man of few words, but the letter he wrote was very long.
Du He spent a lot of time reading it, and then wrote a reply to Du Gou.
Just after sending the letter, Zhang Jian sent a new one, "Master, this letter was sent from the border of Tang Dynasty and was written by Xu Zhengdao."
Du He said happily: "It seems that they have successfully arrived at the border. Now that the letter has been sent to Chang'an, they have probably arrived at the royal city of Goguryeo."
He opened the letter.
Xu Zhengdao said in his heart that he followed Du He's instructions and sent people to find out about Du Jinwei along the way. Unfortunately, there was no news all the way to the border.
Du He had already anticipated this.
With Du Jinwei's intelligence, she knew that once she was discovered by someone from the mission, she would be forcibly sent back to Chang'an.
She had probably arrived in Goguryeo early.
well.
This child is not easy to worry about.
Then Xu Zhengdao said that he had observed the Goguryeo envoys and his party along the way, and there were no accidents along the way. However, Xu Zhengdao and the ghosts and gods carefully discovered that Cui Enshun seemed to be planning something big. He was mysterious and difficult to detect, and asked Du He for instructions.
How to deal with it.
Du He picked up his pen and wanted to give Xu Zhengdao a detailed explanation, but when he thought about the mighty army far away in Goguryeo, he was not familiar with Goguryeo. If he directed too much, it would be self-defeating, so he picked up his pen and wrote down a sentence: Act according to the situation.
, regardless of the consequences.
Then he handed the letter to Zhang Jian and ordered: "Ze Cheng, immediately make dozens of copies of this letter and send it to Goguryeo using the Dream Group's carrier pigeon. I'm afraid it's too late if you hurry up."
Going from Chang'an to Goguryeo would probably take more than a month even if we ride a fast horse.
You also have to cross the border, which is even more difficult to deal with.
Du He's words have no beginning or end. It's not that his own people can't understand him, and he's not worried that the carrier pigeon will reveal the secret.
Zhang Jian nodded and hurriedly went to do it.
…
Outside Tai Chi Hall.
After the court dispersed, the ministers walked out of the hall in twos and threes.
As Fang Xuanling was walking, he tripped and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Wei Zheng stood beside him and helped him quickly.
Wei Zheng now serves as the Right Chancellor and can be regarded as Fang Xuanling's partner. One is sharp and the other is low-key and restrained, which complement each other perfectly.
Wei Zheng said: "Master Fang, I see that you have been restless these past few days. Is it because of Fang Yi'ai?"
Fang Xuanling was stunned and said in surprise: "How did you know?"
Wei Zheng laughed, "This matter is no longer a secret in Chang'an. You father and son turned against each other. Fang Yiai went to Wudi Bank as a shopkeeper, and everyone in the court knew about it..."
For a moment, Fang Xuanling was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she only felt chills running down her spine.
He turned around and saw many ministers looking at him from a distance.
Some people even pointed fingers at him.
He wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui came hand in hand.
Wang Gui said with a smile: "Master Fang, we have heard about you and Fang Yiai. Let me tell you, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As a father, don't worry too much. Take a look. Mr. Wei's two sons also learned from Du He and became what they are today. Maybe if Fang Yiai goes to Wudi Bank, he can become a different shopkeeper..."
Changsun Wuji echoed: "Master Wang's words are wrong. What do you mean by a different shopkeeper? Fang Yiai went to Wudi Bank. In the future, I am afraid that he will become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty like Du He."
"Tsk, tsk, that's amazing!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Fang..."
"Lord Fang, you have a good life!"
A bunch of officials gathered around and said one after another.
Everyone said compliments, but in fact they were full of ridicule.
Fang Xuanling said nothing, her lips trembled, and suddenly she trembled and fell straight to the ground.
"Master Fang!"
"Quick, save people!"
Wei Zheng shouted angrily: "You guys, please be more virtuous..."
…
Fang Xuanling fell ill.
The imperial doctor has already diagnosed him, but he is suffering from a sudden attack on his heart.
Li Er learned the news and asked Fang Xuanling to take good care of himself at home.
When Du He heard about this, he immediately asked Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, to come out and go to Fang Mansion to diagnose and treat Fang Xuanling.
…
Fangfu.
After two days of recuperation, Fang Xuanling had almost recovered.
It's just that he doesn't want to go to court.
I don’t want to face the feeling of being laughed at anymore.
On the side, Sun Simiao said to Mrs. Fang: "Madam, Mr. Fang is suffering from stagnation of heart energy. Take care of it slowly for a few days. Walk in the backyard every day. In a few days, you will be cured. However, heart diseases still need to be treated with heart medicine. This One thing, I'm just afraid..."
Fang Xuanling sat up and said: "King Medicine, I know what you are going to say, but I have severed the father-son relationship with that treacherous son. From now on, he will not be allowed to step into Fang's house again. Even if he dies, I will not I will forgive him."
Yao Wang shook his head, sighed, turned and left.
The housekeeper ran in and said: "Master, madam, the eldest young master has been kneeling at the gate for a whole day, and no water has come in. Should we let him in?"
Mrs. Fang wiped away her tears and said: "Master, no matter what, Yiai is still a child. If he makes a mistake, just teach him a lesson. How can you be so cruel and let him kneel at the gate? If he has any shortcomings, I don’t live anymore either.”
Fang Xuanling snorted coldly: "Assuming that this little beast of his has a conscience, let him kneel down for now... If he hasn't left by the time it gets dark, let him come in."
Mrs. Fang was immediately overjoyed.
The butler hurriedly turned and left.
…
The door of the house.
Fang Yiai's body was stiff, but she didn't move at all.
Several servants around tried to persuade him, but he remained motionless.
At this moment, the door opened and Sun Simiao came out.
Swish.
Fang Yiai stood up, hurried forward, and asked anxiously: "Senior Yao Wang, how is my father's health?"
