Li Mu stood on the second floor, raised the golden bottle in his hand, and signaled to the people on the first floor from a distance. Everyone looked at the golden bottle in his hand, a little speechless, and a little funny.
Half a month ago, when he left, he once said, "I will drink from the golden cup together, and I will not spare you any mercy. Who would have thought that when he came back half a month later, he actually made such a golden cup. As we all know, the density of gold is
It was very big. A piece of gold and silver were of the same size. The weight of gold was about twice that of silver. The gold bottle in Li Mu's hand was stupidly big. When he held it in his hand and filled it with wine, he knew it was not light.
"Everyone, the main reason why I came back this time is that Luoyang is a bit hard to survive in -"
Li Mu smiled mockingly, but looking at his smile, it didn't look like he was mocking himself, but rather like he was mocking others. There were many people present, all from the three surnames of Lu, Zheng, and Cui. When they heard Li Mu's words, how could they
I still don’t know what it means. Li Mu is saying that they made trouble in Luoyang and then did it again in Chang’an. They bowed first and then bowed respectfully. They are villains.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty won't give up. I'm back now. However, this is just a temporary errand. It will be withdrawn sooner or later, so you don't have to worry about it."
Who can believe it? Li Mu has been able to turn danger into safety these few times. Everyone knows that this is his own ability. No one can replace him for his share of troubles. If he could replace him, he would have died long ago.
Eight times. The last time he was suspected of being the son of Prince Yin, he was not killed. Although he was deprived of his title, the nobles and nobles also lost two gossips? Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui
One is recuperating from illness, the other is old, and the noble family has been greatly weakened. Looking at him, he is still alive and kicking, holding a broken gold bottle, drinking there and making people angry.
"You are all respectable people, and you do respectable things, but I, Li Mu, am not. I only care about money, not face. What kind of trading market is this time? To put it bluntly, it's all about looking at
The money in your pockets——"
Everyone was alert, and it was not a good feeling to be noticed by Li Mu. No one dared not believe in Li Mu's ability to make money. Countless examples have proven that he has this ability.
"However, it's not that I want your money." Li Mu gestured again, took a sip, and said, "It's that I want to help you, money begets money."
"How to make money, please let me know how to make money." The person who spoke was Cheng Qian, the chief steward of Cheng Yaojin's house. Because he did a good job in managing the racecourse, he has now become the chief steward of the foreign government. He has tens of thousands of dollars in money.
Wan Ji is no longer the submissive character he was when he first met Li Mu.
But his fear of Li Mu was deep in his bones. The higher he stood, the more he realized that he couldn't see through Li Mu's methods, so he thought about how to please Li Mu and do such 'complimentary' things.
"The Marquis is exempted, he has no title." Li Mu put the golden bottle on the tray of the waiter next to him. This thing is indeed quite heavy. It is heavier than the draft beer mug he used when drinking at the Oktoberfest in his previous life. It is a bit tiring to hold it.
wrist.
"Everyone can make money, which has always been my aim. But there is another thing that needs to be said before. It is true that everyone can make money, but you must also make it based on your ability. I believe everyone agrees with this point.
A game in a shopping mall is comparable to a battle on the battlefield. The only difference is that one person does not see blood and the other does. The difference is that in the case of blood, one person dies, but in the case of no blood, the lives of one family or even hundreds of families are often behind. Do you think this is true?
?”
"Of course, of course -" Everyone agreed, what Li Mu said did speak to their hearts.
"When it comes to doing business," Li Mu paused, glanced at the expressions of everyone downstairs, and continued: "It's difficult! It's too difficult!"
Everyone thought, isn’t this fart? Who doesn’t know that doing business is difficult, so why do you have to do it?
"What's the difficulty?" Li Mu asked himself, and then answered: "First of all, I can't do it without money."
Everyone was stunned, why does Li Mu always talk nonsense today?
"Second, no one can do it, especially talents!"
"The third one is that once the operation is started, the business wants to expand its scale, but the capital turnover is inconvenient."
"Those who are rich may not be able to do business, so they won't worry if their money is spread out."
"If there is something in stock, I don't know who wants it. It is hoarded in the warehouse and cannot be sold."
"I want to buy something, but I don't know where to buy it. I have money in my hand and nowhere to spend it."
"Or maybe there are those who are buying and those who are selling, but they can't trust each other and are worried that the other is a liar!"
"Oh, oh, just think about it, there are so many things, do you think this business can be easy to do?"
Everyone didn't realize what was going on at first, but when Li Mu said this, they all remembered what they had experienced, and one or two of them sighed.
Someone said: "Master Hou, we have generally encountered these things, but there is nothing we can do about it. It is inevitable!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis, I think back on when I-"
Everyone was pouring out their grievances. Li Mu got tired of hearing this and interrupted them, saying: "Don't worry, aren't we trying to find a solution for you? Let's do it one by one."
"The first one, I have no money!" Li Mu talked eloquently, "I have no money, I need to find money! How to find money? The first one, I have property at home, I can pledge it, where can I pledge it? Next to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Craftsman's Workshop, there is a man named
At banks, the annual interest rate is usually one cent, or three cents at most. You can't find such low interest rates anywhere. The person asked, can you do business even if you don't have any property at home? Yes! As long as you have a good idea
, come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will provide you with money, and just determine the proportions and how to divide the accounts. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not like it, or you feel that the proportions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are unreasonable, you can find someone to invest money for you, or find someone to invest.
If we form a partnership, we should pay an introduction fee after the deal is completed, right?"
"Second one, no one!"
Li Mu clicked his tongue and said: "No one can do business. When there are no talents, the business that has been done will also collapse. Where can we find talents? There was no place before, but now it is easy to find. Chang'an East City, inside Jingdong Collection
There is a place, a plaque hung up early this morning, I call it the 'Talent Market'. People who have the ability to do nothing can register, and if they are looking for someone, they will be introduced at any time. Those who need people, temporarily
Even if you don’t have one, it’s easy to do. You can also register and if someone is suitable, you will be notified. Of course, you still have to have a little money for running errands and pen and ink.”
"The first two are small things and easy to solve. The next one is a bit more difficult. The business is going well. If you want to expand the scale, how can you raise money?"
"Borrow? There will be interest, but I can't pay it off, please? Whose money is useless these days, where can I ask for it?" Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Isn't it difficult?"
"Just tell me, Lord Marquis. You must have a solution. Don't make us anxious."
"Okay, since you asked sincerely, I will answer you sincerely." As soon as Li Mu stretched out his hand, a waiter next to him unfolded a scroll, and the scroll dropped down, with the word "share" written on it.
"What to do if you have no money? This is the way to solve the problem. Divide your business into shares, how much is each share, and then ask others to buy shares. If you are worried that others have invested money, they will criticize you and allocate fewer shares.
That's it. You still earn the majority of the annual dividends. Or, if you are not interested in business and just want to share some dividends, you can also come to the Luoyang City trading market and buy some better shares, for example -
- Datang Salt Industry, Datang Mining Industry, for things like this that are guaranteed to make a profit, you have to start early, otherwise you won’t be able to grab them if you’re late.”
"Buying and selling things is easy even if you don't believe it!" Li Mu stretched out his hand again, and another scroll fell down, with the word 'futures' written on it, and said: "This futures, as the name suggests, is about buying and selling goods that are delivered on a scheduled date.
.It’s just a contract. It seems very unreliable, right? It’s indeed very unreliable. In order to make it reliable, I have been thinking about this for a long time, and finally recently, I came up with a solution to the problem.”
"First, the margin. Both parties to the transaction each pay a certain amount of margin. When they are unable to do what the contract stipulates, the loss will be deducted from the margin."
"Second, insurance. Datang Insurance provides insurance services. You only need to pay a small amount of money to protect most of your interests."
"Third, Luoyang Trading Market conducts guaranteed transactions. Both buyers and sellers settle with the trading market, and the trading market is responsible for inspection and payment, so as to protect the interests of both parties to the greatest extent."
"At the same time, the trading market will also implement a credit system. The degree of completion of each transaction by each transaction party will affect their own credit. When a person's credit has problems, the trading market will no longer accept this person."
Someone asked: "Master Hou, why are you doing this?"
"If you don't have trust, you won't be established!" Li Mu said with a smile: "In the future, when doing business, just look at trust. People without trust will find it difficult to gain a foothold in business."
Everyone started whispering. Some people thought it was good, while others felt that being under such supervision meant that there was no freedom at all. Will doing business in the future all depend on Li Mu’s face?
But if you don't participate in it, you will feel that you have missed the opportunity. This time, Li Mu has received the support of His Majesty the Emperor. Based on his past record, the possibility of his success is almost 100%. If you don't participate in time, you will still suffer the loss.
From the beginning to the end, Li Mu never mentioned signing up to participate, as if he didn't care at all about who participated or not. After the brief introduction, the banquet continued, and he never participated in anyone's discussion.
At the same time, several fast horses galloped in from the east gate of Chang'an City, ran into the city and dispersed to different places.
…
Tai Chi Palace.
After the case, Li Shimin was reading the report about the criminals who were rushed to the palace. Opposite him, Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Gao stood with their hands tied. Eunuch Gao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. On the other hand, Yuan Tiangang looked like an old god.
The appearance is like holding a pearl of wisdom.
After the establishment of the East Factory and the West Factory, the eunuchs who used to only have influence in the inner court stretched their hands longer and longer. Suddenly one day, Yuan Tiangang discovered that the responsibilities of the East Factory and the West Factory were actually related to bad people.
With the overlap, his relationship with Eunuch Gao began to become subtle.
However, Eunuch Gao has always been by the emperor's side, and he is a more confidant person than him. He wants to do something, but there is nothing he can do. Until this time, something like this happened.
"Your Majesty, the city of Luoyang is in turmoil right now. Those Dongchang gangsters, under the pretext of conducting searches, have entered and exited various mansions and noble families. They dare to be angry but dare not speak out. They have already started to complain."
"Really?" Li Shimin dropped the things in his hands, looked at Yuan Tiangang, and said, "Taoist Priest, when did you become the mouthpiece of a powerful noble clan?"
Yuan Tiangang's face changed slightly, and Eunuch Gao raised his head in surprise. He glanced at Li Shimin. The years of tacit understanding allowed him to see at a glance Li Shimin's displeasure. He immediately answered: "Your Majesty, this old slave is brave enough to serve Dongchang."
The children said a few words. Shang Fang's sword is lost, who can't be anxious? Just because the person being searched is a noble family, he should be timid? Throw a rat-proof weapon? I think it's inappropriate." He glanced at Yuan Tiangang and said
: "The Taoist Master's loyalty to His Majesty has always been visible to me. But today I don't know what happened, and he actually said such stupid words. It's so confusing."
Yuan Tiangang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, my loyalty to Your Majesty can be demonstrated by heaven and earth, and can be seen by the sun and moon. I definitely don't think it is wrong to search for Shang Fang's sword. It's just that this matter has made it clear that it was Li Mu who did it. Shang Fang's sword is there."
Why is his waist said to be missing? Dongchang’s fanzi was ordered by Li Mu——"
"Whose instructions?" A voice sounded from behind Yuan Tiangang. Li Mu walked over with a smile and said: "When I first came here, I heard the Taoist priest say bad things about me. What happened? Is it because I said it a few times in private?
The fortune teller is not working, and the Taoist priest has a grudge against me. Do you want to give me little shoes to wear?"
"Li Mu, I'm just telling you the truth. Isn't the Longquan Sword on your waist? Where did you lose it?"
"Oh!" Li Mu looked down and looked surprised, saying: "It's really here. How do you say this? The Taoist Master is so powerful. He found it with just a few fingers. Blame me, blame me, blame me.
It's my fault that the sword and I have been inseparable from each other for a long time. We have reached the state where the sword and man are one. It's just like holding the left hand and the right hand. It's already a normal thing, so I didn't notice it and thought it was lost.
"
"Li Mu, don't be pretentious!" Yuan Tiangang argued with reason and said: "Your sword was not lost, but you said it was lost, which caused a few Dongchang's troubles to make Luoyang City uneasy. Although those people are powerful nobles,
, but they did not violate the king's law, but you violated the king's law by doing this. I heard that it was you who proposed the amendment of the law, and it was you who proposed the establishment of the Haechi Yuan. If you know the law and break it, your crime will be increased!"
Li Mu suddenly laughed and said, "Taoist Priest, you are indeed loyal, but you are just too simple."
"What's the meaning?"
"How dare I, Li Mu, dare to challenge Luoyang City alone?" Li Mu pursed his lips towards Li Shimin and said, "This is all His Majesty's instruction. Your Majesty has planned the strategy. How can you predict what you can do? I advise you.
Yeah, it’s better not to ask too many questions. Asking too much will not do you any good. You have led bad people for many years, don’t you understand that the more you know, the faster you will die?”
