The matter was settled and everyone was happy. After the banquet, Li Mu visited the residence that Li Xiaogong had prepared for Li Chongyi, his godson. It was actually a separate courtyard, next to the martial arts field, it looked like an independent mansion, halls, warehouses, etc.
Everything is available. There are also four maids, six servants, and more than a dozen guards to serve. The pomp is no worse than the original Zhuluhou Mansion.
Li Mu was completely relieved, told Li Chongyi to honor his adoptive father, and then said goodbye to Li Xiaogong.
When he entered the Hejian County Prince's Mansion, he brought a cart full of gold and silver utensils. It looked like a big pile, but in fact it was only worth more than two thousand guan. It was to prepare some pocket money for Li Chongyi, or to give it as a gift. Li Xiao
Gong didn't want any of them and piled them all in the warehouse in Li Chongyi's own courtyard.
When Li Mu left, he also took away a cart full of gold and silver. These gold and silver were not vessels, but pieces of 'gold and silver bricks', all of the same format, packed in sealed wooden boxes. Watch.
It didn't look like an ordinary thing. Li Mu inquired and found out that the gold and silver were confiscated from the mansions of the rebel kings in Jiangnan when Li Xiaogong was in charge of Jiangnan. After returning to Chang'an, his money, Li Yuan and Li Shimin
The father and son did not ask him for them, so they left them in his hands.
Li Mu didn't ask much, but seeing how he effortlessly produced 70,000 gold and silver coins, he guessed that he must have 60,000 to 700,000 gold coins to be so wealthy.
Even the national treasury couldn't come up with such a large amount of cash. It's not an exaggeration to say that he was as rich as the country. Li Mu felt itchy in his heart. If he had so much money in his hands, why would he need so many rogue methods to do things?
, causing criticism?
But there was no way, Li Shimin was so poor that he didn't use the money, so he could only think about it.
Before going out this morning, Li Mu asked Dugujiu to do something and notify the major merchants who have business dealings with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold a meeting at the Ministry of Industry in the afternoon. Similar meetings have been held several times. The merchants are also familiar with the process.
, basically designated a special person to take charge. As long as Li Mu gave the news, basically no one dared to be absent.
All involved are big business and big orders. Being absent is equivalent to giving money to others. People with official positions will naturally not appear here. They are the principals of each family, or young people in the clan, doing this
Conference representative. Now each company has gradually figured out Li Mu's personality and knows that he doesn't like to deal with old guys, so they are promoting the younger generation.
The time Li Mu made an appointment was at 3:00 p.m., and everyone arrived shortly after, waiting in the conference room. Li Mu didn't come, so they started talking about what happened in Chang'an City in the past two days, and the topic naturally couldn't get around Li Mu and Li Mu.
The conflict of Yin Hongzhi.
Yin Hongzhi has many friends, and many people here know him and know his background. When I first heard that Li Mu was fighting with King Yan and Yin Hongzhi, they all thought it would be a fight between dragons and tigers, and they were waiting to see the excitement.
Unexpectedly, the news that followed was that Li Mu cut off Yin Hongzhi's ear, and also ordered the King of Yan to recognize Prince Yin as his father and go to Gaoyangyuan to observe mourning for three months. Before the news could be confirmed, it was also reported that Li Mu had arrived in Ping.
Kangfang smashed Yin Hongzhi's Chunfeng Tower and blocked the Prince of Hejian.
Who is the Prince of Hejian County? Everyone thought that Li Mu was definitely going to fall into trouble this time. Unexpectedly, he was saved from danger again. They didn’t know the details, but early this morning, there was news that Li Mu went to the Prince of Hejian County with a heavy gift.
Everyone has received it. This gift has been given, doesn’t it make a big deal a trivial matter?
Everyone was itching to hate him, but they had to admire him. It was Li Mu. If it were another person to go through what happened in these two days, he would have to shed his skin even if he didn't die. There would never be another person like him who managed to turn danger into safety.
How do you call this thing? It’s called luck, and it’s luck. It’s called strength, and that’s strength. It’s rumored that after Li Mu was brought to the palace by the Hejian County Prince, His Majesty rushed to rescue him. If it had been anyone else, would His Majesty have noticed this?
It is the Holy Family, the Holy Family, and strength.
Just as everyone was whispering, Li Mu opened the door and came in. It seemed like someone pressed mute, and the huge conference room fell silent for an instant.
Li Mu walked towards the main seat and sat down, glanced at everyone, and said: "I'm really sorry, I had two more drinks at the Hejian County Prince's Mansion at noon. I also discussed a business with the Prince of Hejian, which delayed the time and came late. Please let me know.
Sorry for the long wait!”
When everyone heard this, they were shocked. As expected, Zhulu Hou had some tricks up his sleeve. Not only could he turn danger into safety, but he was also able to do business with the King of Hejian County. How could ordinary people do this?
After hearing Li Mu's apology, everyone hurriedly stood up and looked at each other, saying: "Master Hou is busy with affairs, so we should wait for a while. Master Hou is missing now. Master Hou is really working hard..."
The flattering words poured out endlessly. Li Mu listened for a while, raised his hand and pressed it slightly, and said: "Okay, let's stop flattering. Let's seize the time and talk about business."
Everyone sat down again, Li Mu raised his hand, and Wei Yingluo next to him took a booklet. The daily labor department was busy these days, and Li Mu was too lazy to sort out the information, so he asked Wei Yingluo to work part-time as his secretary. The family still didn't know about this.
I don’t know, Li Mu didn’t hurry up to say anything, otherwise even if Bai Qiaoqiao didn’t say anything, there would have been a scene at Li Zhien’s place. The little girl was like a jealous person, she was jealous of everything, especially Wei Yingluo.
, if she had known that Wei Yingluo was promoted to secretary, she would have abandoned Feng Qiuhuang's business and come over to snatch the position of secretary.
The booklet in Li Mu's hand was compiled by Wei Yingluo herself. They were all things Li Mu said casually, and she recorded them one by one. It was a memorandum, otherwise there were too many things and it would be easy to forget. Some of them were marked to indicate that they had been
It is finished. If there is no mark, it is not finished yet. Li Mu flipped through the book, returned it to Wei Yingluo, and said: "I'm looking for you to come here today mainly for three things. If you are interested, you can just tell me
Come out and we can talk now."
"The first thing is that in a few months, it will be time for spring plowing. Everyone must know my brother Li Siwen. He is now in Dingxiang. There are many fields around him that need to be cultivated. How much grain is needed? Who can tell me?
Provided at favorable prices.”
Someone asked: "I wonder how much Mr. Hou needs?"
"Ten thousand hectares of grain."
This man was an expert. When he heard the number, he started to calculate: "One hectare of land requires fifteen kilograms of grain. Ten thousand hectares of land is 150,000 kilograms of grain. One bucket has ten kilograms, and ten buckets have one load. The total is
One thousand five hundred tons. The current price of grain in Chang'an City is three hundred and fifty coppers per bucket. Grain types need to be carefully selected. High-quality grains should be no less than five hundred coppers per bucket. A total of fifteen thousand buckets, seven thousand
Five hundred guan. If the Marquis gets all the goods from Zheng's Grain Store, I can make the decision and wipe out the fraction. Seven thousand guan will be prepared for the Marquis. It's just the freight, and the Marquis needs to take care of it himself."
When talking about business, there should be no distinction between superiority and inferiority in business discussions. This was Li Mu's requirement. Therefore, the grain merchant did not flatter anyone when he spoke.
Li Mu nodded without comment.
Another person stood up and said: "Master Hou, shopkeeper Zheng has just calculated the accounts, so I won't go into details. Zhao's Grain Company, the same quality of grain, is also 7,000 guan, and will bear the freight. If it cannot be delivered on time,
, willing to bear the loss.”
Li Mu nodded again. He knew the details of the Zhao's Grain Store. The Zhao's Grain Store had a close relationship with the Li family of Zhaojun. The Li family of Zhaojun ran carriage and horse shops all over the world. He dared to package freight, so he must be relying on Zhao.
Jun Li's channel.
The Zheng's Grain Company is based in Shandong. The cost of transporting it to Chang'an is already high, and the cost of transporting it to Dingxiang is not enough. It is determined that it can't hold on. Shopkeeper Zheng sighed sadly and said: "That's all.
Zheng's Grain Store has withdrawn. Congratulations to Shopkeeper Zhao for winning another order."
"Thank you very much, Brother Zheng. Didn't Brother Zheng also win the order for three ships of tribute rice the day before yesterday? We all work with each other, business is not done by one person."
The words were quite clever. Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased tribute rice the day before yesterday, Zheng's Grain Company came out on top, while Zhao's Grain Company was defeated. The two families were a bit at odds. However, today Zhao's Grain Company made a comeback, which can be regarded as a victory.
It was a tie.
Seeing that no one was arguing, Li Mu made a decision and said: "Then this order will be handed over to Zhao's Grain Store. Again, in business, pay attention to a genuine product at a reasonable price, and the money will be yours, but if there is something wrong with the thing,
Especially for things that are related to people's livelihood, such as grain, don't blame me for being rude."
Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, we know the rules. If there is a problem. I will give you my head. Zhao's Grain Store will get out of Chang'an City immediately!"
Li Mu said to Wei Yingluo next to him: "Write it down for him and we will make a contract later."
Wei Yingluo nodded and recorded the matter in the book.
"The second thing involves medicinal materials." Li Mu said, took out a list from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "Before his travels, Divine Doctor Sun left his beloved disciple Liu Shenwei, Doctor Liu, in Chang'an, and
I was entrusted with setting up a medical clinic. Everyone must have received the news that I have vacated my mansion to open this medical clinic. Now I am short of a batch of medicinal materials. Here is a list. Anyone who is in the medicinal material business can take a look.
.In addition, after the medical clinic opens, there will be patent medicines treated by Dr. Sun’s secret recipe that need to be sold to all parties. Interested parties can also sign up. Choose a date at the medical clinic and discuss the price with Dr. Liu. "
Everyone spoke enthusiastically, including those who provided medicinal materials and those who were interested in selling patent medicines. Wei Yingluo also recorded them all.
"The third thing is my own private matter." Li Mu looked at everyone and said: "You are all big businessmen in Chang'an City and have extensive connections. I don't know who owns the property in Pingkangfang, preferably near Chunfeng Tower.
"I want to acquire it. If I don't have enough cash, I can exchange it with shares from the racecourse, or I can use shares in Datang Mining and Datang Salt. It's convenient for the seller."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
They all know that Li Mu has 20% stake in Cheng Yaojin's horse farm, 20% stake in Datang Salt Industry, and 10% stake in Datang Mining. These three are golden rice bowls that cannot be exchanged for a lot of money. Those who can lay golden eggs.
Old hen, what's going on now? He's gone crazy and wants to replace Pingkangfang's property.
What kind of place is Pingkangfang? That's
Everyone's expressions suddenly became strange. Could it be that Zhulu Hou wanted to open a brothel?
