Chapter 143 [How to do business? White wolf with empty gloves]
"Wait, I have a problem..."
Everyone was about to follow Li Yun and go back to listen to the two good businesses that made a lot of money. When they suddenly heard a sound from the huge rock, the girl walked over with a strange face.
At this time, her silver silk had been put away and disappeared, and she turned back to the splendid grassland princess. However, no one dared to underestimate her anymore. Everyone was stunned by her magical light skills just now.
But everyone didn't know why she called Li Yun.
Linglong walked to Li Yun a few steps, with some hesitation in her eyes, and suddenly asked, "You said you wanted to do business?"
Without waiting for Li Yun to answer, he suddenly said: "Although I am a Turkic person, I also know the affairs of the Central Plains. Merchants are a cheap business and have always been despised. You are the King of Zhao of the Western Palace and the son of the high priest of the grassland. How could you be ashamed to do the business of the merchant? No, I don't allow it. If the master knows this, she will be angry to death. If your Emperor of Tang knows it, he will be angry to death. Junior brother, don't forget that you are the King of Zhao of the Western Palace..."
This was quite a bit disappointing. Although his tone was very strong, he was indeed kind-hearted. Although he accused Li Yun, he was thinking about it.
In this era, merchants are indeed extremely despised.
Even discrimination and contempt.
Ancient literati and poets were often ridiculed in poems.
For example, there are few cars and horses in front of the door, and the boss married a businessman and a wife.
For example, businessmen value profit rather than separation, and buy tea in Fuliang the previous month.
And then, when I wanted to buy a living in Junshan, I was lazy to beg for money as a businessman.
The poem is beautiful, but the meaning in the poem is very ugly. What does it mean to be lazy as a businessman begging for money? It means that merchants are not even as good as beggars. They are lazy and cheap, and do not work in production, and doing business means begging.
Li Yun really has nothing to say to people of this era.
It would be fine if the people from Central Plains were, but he didn't expect Lingling to be like this.
He looked up at Linglong and asked back, "If there were no merchants, where did the salt tea you eat on the grassland come from?"
Linglong was stunned!
Li Yun then said, "If there were no merchants, who would transport the iron pots of you Turks?"
Linglong opened her mouth. Just as she was about to defend herself, Li Yun had already snorted twice.
Li Yun asked again: "You don't grow food on the grassland, but you also have rough-faced cakes in your food. Let me ask you, where did the grain for making rough-faced cakes come from? Who transported it from the Central Plains to the north?"
Linglong pursed her lips, then suddenly spoke, saying, "I admit that merchants have a certain role, but they are a group of people who do not do childbirth. Junior brother, your identity is naturally noble, why do you have to sit in this shameful thing?"
"You were wrong!"
Li Yun waved his hand and smiled and said, "Businessmen are not cheap business, this time cannot be separated from it..."
As he said that, he glanced at Linglong, then looked at the others, and smiled and said, "I also have a question to ask you, if we don't do business as merchants, how should the entire Fanyang develop?"
Everyone was stunned, they had never thought about this issue.
Li Yun sighed and said slowly: "Hebei Road has been war-torn for a long time, and most of the land in the fields is deserted. He died in his prime and was powerless. This land has damaged its vitality and it is difficult to recover through farming alone for more than ten years. However, we must raise the people and cannot watch the people starve to death. I'll ask you, where does the food come from? Will you temporarily reclaim the land and plant it?"
"The court will provide disaster relief!"
Li Chongyi spoke subconsciously.
Li Yun looked at him and asked with a smile: "Is the court's food sufficient?"
Li Chongyi smacked his lips and said, "Even if it is not enough, disaster relief can be barely possible, but it is really not possible. Let's go to the aristocratic family to buy it. The aristocratic families have food, and they have granaries everywhere."
Li Yun laughed and asked again: "Okay, go and buy it from a noble family. Then I'll ask you, a good disciple, where do we get our money?"
Li Chongyi held it in an instant.
Li Yun did not mock him, but instead said to everyone: "Fan Yang is in ruins and has almost become a white land. If this city wants to rise again, it must have its own uniqueness. Let's not talk about helping the people of Hebei Road. Just talk about the 100,000 people we are raising now, which requires a large sum of money and food, and consumes a lot of money and a huge amount of money every day..."
He looked at Linglong at this point and said with gratitude, "I would like to thank you Turks. If you hadn't given you some cattle, sheep and food, you would have been starving to death along the way."
Linglong took a light breath and whispered: "That was not a gift, it was the offerings I forced several large tribes to hand over to the ancient temple."
This surprised Li Yun a little.
He glanced at Linglong deeply and suddenly said, "This is your investment, I will give you some money in the future."
Linglong pursed her lips.
She seemed to think that Li Yun would persuade him to stop mentioning the business of lowly business, but she suddenly turned her hand to point to the giant monument and said again: "I have another problem. There is something wrong with your inscription."
Li Yun was intrigued and smiled: "Tell me what's wrong with it."
Linglong pointed to the giant monument and said, "Look at that piece of paper, step into this monument for 500 steps, and all fighting will turn into peace. I know you want to create a place without fighting, but the protection of your monument may have a big problem. If you don't know whether it is good or bad, Fanyang City will become a crime city in the future."
Li Yun laughed and waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I guarantee that nothing will happen!"
Linglong is not a person who is easily convinced. Miaomu stared at him and said, "What do you think?"
Li Yun looked leisurely and said lightly: "If a good person is persecuted and fled to Fanyang, I will protect him..."
"What if the evil one?" Linglong asked.
Li Yun's eyes were smug, and his tone suddenly became cold, and he said, "If the evil man commits a serious crime, he will come to Fanyang and arrest him. Fanyang is a city of peace, but not a city of crime. Your Majesty gives me three thousand iron armor, and I give me two thousand sacrifices. This force can almost defeat the 100,000 army. Do you think ordinary evil people can resist their arrest?"
Linglong nodded, suddenly smiled and said, "I'm relieved, junior brother, tell me what to do in business."
Li Yun looked at her deeply and always felt that this girl seemed to be deliberately cooperating with him, seemingly standing up and constantly blaming herself, but in fact she made others understand and explain through accusations.
This girl is so smart that Li Yun feels that she should avoid her in the future.
...
After erecting a giant monument, everyone entered Fanyang City together. Only then did they realize how miserable the city was, there was almost no decent house.
There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the tiles were pitch black. The tragic fire half a month ago had burned the city into a ruined city.
One hundred thousand poor people have already settled in the city, and three thousand Xuan armored iron cavalry and two thousand priests have temporarily served as the Marquis of the Street Patrol. In fact, there is no such thing as stealing and robbery at all. It is mainly to help the people clear their houses.
Only after finding a place to live can you be considered home.
Because the fire was too fierce, there were almost no houses to live in. Fortunately, the poor were able to endure hardships, so they set up tents next to the broken house.
Li Yun observed carefully all the way, remembered all of this in his heart, and said to everyone from time to time: "It's good to burn it down. If it's burned, you can demolish it. When our business is established, a steady stream of funds will flow into Fanyang. Then we will demolish all the houses and re-plan and build new houses. I promise you that Fanyang will be more developed than Changan."
Everyone was full of confidence when they heard him, and everyone felt curious. The five apprentices scratched their ears and their faces anxiously along the way, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master, what business are you going to do?"
"Good question!"
Li Yun suddenly stopped. At this time, everyone happened to be standing in front of a huge abandoned house. He raised his hand and pointed at the house and said leisurely: "If I guess correctly, this should be the ancestral home of the Lu family in Fanyang. Let's carry out the first work here, demolish it first and then build it. I want to build a world-famous trading center."
...
In the next period of time, Fan Yang was extremely busy!
The Lu family's ancestral home covers an area of 100 acres. Li Yun mobilized the poor people to demolish them all, and then went to the distant mountains to log and quarre, and transported them back to rebuild a new building.
It is said that there are many people who are easy to do. Fan Yang now has 100,000 people. These 100,000 people are hoping to live a good life with Li Yun, and they are just desperate to do their jobs.
In just under two months, a huge building was built and the ground was lifted up.
This building covers an area of at least 100 acres and has a magnificent two-story wooden building.
There is a wooden building in front and a wooden house behind. Both the wooden building and the wooden house are all extremely exquisitely built.
There is a huge courtyard between the wooden house and the wooden building. This courtyard alone is fifty acres. Li Yun personally took his people to the mountains and dug up all kinds of strange-shaped ancient trees, and used strange-shaped rocks of various shapes to embellish the various parts of the courtyard with ancient trees and huge stones.
In the middle of the courtyard are rows of thick stone benches, and each stone bench is covered with a beautifully patterned tiger and leopard skin.
This was Li Yun's special order to sweep the mountains with three thousand iron armors, almost wrapping all the tigers and leopards in a radius of 300 miles. After hunting, the meat was distributed to the poor, and the skin was peeled off and tanned and spread on a stone bench.
This work took three months.
Seeing that this huge house was taking shape day by day, everyone's curiosity became heavier day by day.
The house is indeed beautifully built, and everyone admires Li Yun’s ingenious conception, but what exactly is this house built for? Should we use this house to do business?
This is not the case in the East and West Markets of Chang'an.
On this day, the house was finally completed, and Li Yun seemed to be in high spirits and led everyone to wander around.
After so long, everyone finally found an opportunity to solve their confusion. First, Cheng Chumo was the first to speak, pointing to the second-story wooden building and asked: "Master, this building is built so strange. It is obvious that the carved beams and painted buildings are so why do you specially set up a stage? Could it be that you want to buy a group of Hu Ji artists and then do the business of performing on stage?"
Li Yun looked at him and smiled and said, "You guessed it right when you went on stage, but you said it wrong when you sold the art. Today I will tell you carefully. My business is called "Empty Gloves and White Wolf..."
