Ma Teqin felt that Ang Lee's method was very reliable, and in order to solve the financial crisis as soon as possible, he immediately asked the people around him to bring a map of the Lion Kingdom and studied it carefully.

When the ministers heard about this, they gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the good plan proposed by Ang Lee, and most of them expressed their support.

A rather large map, many small circles were drawn by Matteqin, and all these circles were drawn by Matteqin where Matteqin planned to rent and sell, and in order to solve the financial crisis, Matteqin also fought hard.

Now that he has made up his mind, the next step is naturally to make a big move, and Ma Teqin immediately summoned all the ministers under his command and told them of his decision.

"Here, here, and these ports are all leased, and the price has already been marked, so let's see if you have any opinions."

Ma Teqin pointed to the map he had marked and asked the minister.

One of the ministers, after a moment's look, said: "King, these ports are not too important, and if they are leased for fifty years, this price is also cost-effective, but if the price can be higher, it will be better, it is better to let the merchants bid!" Whoever pays the highest price will rent it out. ”

"Yes, Your Highness the King, these forest lands that are going to be sold should also be auctioned by the merchants, and the highest bidder will be awarded."

Another minister spoke.

Matt Qin said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, it should be like this, the one with the highest price should get it, these more than 100 places, all of them are rented and sold, and they will definitely be able to solve the dilemma we are facing in front of us, as long as we can get through the current predicament, it is worth the big loss." ”

For these new nobles of the new court, the loss of some land and resources is nothing, many of them were originally very unwilling, it was Ma Teqin who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, they became nobles, and the wealth in their hands has also increased significantly, so they are grateful to the Tang Dynasty, as long as they can maintain their vested interests, the loss of public interests does not matter much to them.

"Your Majesty, this can only be a general plan, and there should be room for negotiation, for example, this forest land, a lease of a hundred years is too long, there may not be any businessmen willing to lease it for such a long time, if they only rent it for twenty or thirty years, we should also reduce the cost of renting, and it is the most important thing to be able to rent out."

One minister opened his mouth to propose amendments.

When Ma Teqin heard this, he felt that it made a lot of sense, in order to get enough funds as soon as possible, it was necessary to adopt more flexible rental and sales conditions as soon as possible, after all, the needs of different merchants are different, and products should be prepared according to the needs of customers.

In addition to the lease time and geography can be slightly adjusted, the leaser is also flexible, for example, a port leased to a merchant, the financial pressure may be very large, if it is leased to three or five partnership merchants, the pressure is very small, when the time comes, these three or five businessmen can distribute the benefits obtained according to the proportion of capital contribution, if they lose money, they can also bear the losses together.

In short, in order to be able to sell the land as soon as possible to obtain sufficient funds, Matthin and his gang tried their best, no matter how high the price was, they were willing to bear it.

After much deliberation, Mateqin marked all the areas that could be rented and sold, and sent a team to Tanar, where there were the largest number of merchants, and, with the help of Ang Lee, he was sure to find a suitable buyer.

Of course, the specific business still has to go to the field, as long as you go to the field, the businessman has the courage to spend money to buy, so as to prevent himself from spending money in vain.

And Ma Teqin wanted to place the auction in Tanar, but also to reassure the merchants, to let Li An vouch for his small court, and to let the merchants rest assured that they could pay boldly.

In the direction of Tanar, Li An was not idle, and after the return of the special envoy of the special service, Li An gathered a group of subordinates to discuss how to help the special envoy rent and sell various resources of the country.

Ang Lee's subordinates are also full of talents, and there are talents in all aspects, some of whom can be responsible for contacting the merchants who come and go, and tell the merchants the idea of renting and selling land in the small court of Ma Teqin, so that the merchants can pay for the bargains.

Some will calculate the account and appraisal, and can roughly calculate how much profit can be obtained after buying a certain piece of land, and how much benefit can be obtained within a few years, so as to reassure the businessman.

Others are good at co-ordination, allowing multiple merchants to work together to buy land, so that some small merchants can also contribute to the small court of the Mateqin, and at the same time, obtain a lasting benefit for themselves.

Tanar Seaport was originally a relatively busy seaport, after Li Ang built it, the throughput efficiency increased greatly, and the merchants came and went naturally more, after the various facilities of the port were complete, the merchants liked to go ashore to consume, make friends with each other, and play very happily.

Therefore, there are a lot of rich merchants near the port of Tanar, and it is most suitable to hold an auction or something in this place.

Under Ang Lee's orders, his subordinates moved around the port, spreading the news that the court was going to rent and sell land and the port, so that the merchants who came and went would pay more attention, and when the specific news came down from the Ma Teqin, they would gather these merchants and let them rent and buy land or resources.

"I heard that the court of the Lion Kingdom wants to sell mines and land, what is this for?"

In the teahouse, a merchant chatted.

"Who knows? I still don't know if this news is true or fake? ”

"It should be true, I heard that the court of the Lion Kingdom is in trouble, if you don't sell something, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get through it!"

"Yes, yes, what's the point of selling a few mines, isn't it all lost to us Datang for such a big piece of land in the north."

A Tang businessman spoke, his eyes full of smugness.

In short, after the news spread, a large number of businessmen were very interested in it, and when they sat together, they always liked to talk about related topics.

"How's it going, how did the businessmen react to the news?"

Li An asked his subordinates.

"I'm particularly interested, the merchants in the teahouse are talking about this topic, but I don't know what the situation is on the side of the Matteo."

The subordinate replied.

"Oh, isn't there any news from Matt Corp. yet? It's really slow enough. ”

Ang Lee opened his mouth to complain.

"Li Shilang, there are many people in the Lion Country, more than two hundred."

A soldier came to report.

Li An said with a smile: "Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, it seems that Ma Teqin has made plans to send so many people here just to rent and sell land, let's go, let's take a look." ”

Matteqin's people, after Dao Ming's intentions, took out a large number of various maps, and briefly introduced to Ang Lee, where they could rent and sell, as well as the lowest prices, and allowed merchants to bid with each other.

"Not bad! If all these places were rented and sold, they would surely bring you sufficient money, and besides, the official will testify for you, and as long as there is the official's assurance, the merchants will not doubt the authenticity of the transaction. ”

Li An said happily, paused, and said: "A few of you, you have to help them well, organize more businessmen to bid, okay, let's send out a notice first!" Tomorrow at noon, he will summon all the merchants in the widest part of the harbor, and if they can come, they must be well entertained, and they will all be busy. ”

"Yes, Li Shilang."

And they all went and got ready.

After returning to his residence, Li An did not rush to rest, but asked people to make black tea immediately, and at the same time, he also asked others to make ice cubes, planning to make iced black tea at night, drink it himself, and let all the merchants taste it when they summon them tomorrow.

Although the purpose of this activity is to help the small court solve the financial crisis, if you can promote your own iced tea at the same time, it is also very good, and you can achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

After so many days of hard work, black tea, a new type of drink, has been made, and making ice cubes is extremely simple, so if you want to drink iced tea, it can be achieved by being very bitter.

It takes some time to make tea, and Ang Lee waited for a while before Yun'er brought the brewed black tea.

"Ah Lang, this is freshly brewed Ceylon black tea, it smells very fragrant."

Li An took it with satisfaction, sniffed it for a while, and then took a few sips gently.

"The entrance of the tea, the mouth is full of overflowing aroma, good tea, Ceylon black tea is considered to be successful, haha!"

Ang Lee commented very happily.

"Alang, the ice cube you wanted."

The beautiful woman hurriedly brought the ice cubes.

Li An opened his mouth and said, "Come, put the ice cubes in the tea, just put a few pieces." ”

"Yes, Aaron."

The beautiful woman answered, and put a few small pieces of crushed ice into the tea.

Li An watched the heat of the black tea gradually dissipate, and a cold feeling came from his fingers, and he suddenly put his mouth to the edge of the cup with great joy and took a sip gently.

"Okay, great, this feels much more comfortable than drinking hot, come, Ah Lang will reward each of you with a sip, drink!"

Li An motioned to Yuna and Beauty, and asked the two to drink a little.

After the two of them drank it, they both showed intoxicated expressions, as if they had drunk the elixir.

"Ah Lang, this is iced black tea, it's really delicious, the weather here is quite hot, so you should drink something cold."

"Yes! Drink something cold, and the whole person is comfortable, hehehe! ”

Yuna and Lady were very excited, they were so happy.

Li An was happy, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "You two instruct to go down, tomorrow at noon, this official will entertain a large number of guests, and let the back kitchen brew enough Ceylon black tea and prepare a sufficient amount of ice cubes before noon, so that all guests can drink ice tea." ”

"Ah Lang, don't worry! We'll take care of this, and we'll help you do it properly. ”

Yuna happily agreed.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yun'er and a group of back kitchens were busy, making black tea can be prepared in advance, and if the ice cubes are freshly made, it will be too late, and a lot of preparations are also needed in advance.

Black tea itself needs ice, so it can be cooled directly, and ice cubes are difficult to preserve in local hot days, so they need to be placed in a box with quilts inlaid inside, and in addition, this box should also be placed in a cool basement, where the temperature is only more than 20 degrees, and the ice cubes are not easy to melt.

It is difficult for Ang Lee to judge how many people can come to the scene, but the amount of iced tea prepared is still a lot, and no matter how many guests come, it will definitely be able to meet their drinking needs.

In order to accommodate more people, Ang Lee chose a location in an open space, but it would be too boring to talk in the open space on a hot day.

Therefore, whether it is the podium where Ang Lee is or the businessmen in the audience, they must have the most basic shading equipment, so that everyone can enjoy the shade, enjoy iced tea in the shade, and listen to Ang Lee's explanation.

Since receiving the order last night, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses have already built the platform and shade canopy in accordance with militarization standards. Moreover, the top canvas is still two layers, the upper layer is white, which can reflect the sun's rays, and the lower layer is black, which can better shade the light and prevent the sun from penetrating the canvas and shining on the person's body.

Moreover, because the materials are relatively tall, the tent is relatively high, and the highest point is as high as three or four people, and the field of vision is quite wide.

In the morning, Ang Lee had been organizing the language so that when he spoke at noon, he could better persuade the merchants to be willing to pay for it and help the small court of Mateqin tide over the difficulties.

"Ah Lang, noon is almost here, will you have lunch first, or will you go to meet the merchant first?"

Yuna asked.

Li An thought for a while and said, "Don't eat, go and see the businessmen first, when you are hungry, your thinking is clear, and if you burp during the meeting, it will be troublesome." ”

After speaking, with a dozen guards, he strode towards the large square.

At this time, in the built shed, there have been a lot of businessmen, the edge of the shed is a circle of Tang soldiers to maintain security, with them standing here with weapons in hand, no one dares to be presumptuous at will.

Because Li An wants to meet a businessman with a certain amount of money, the officials in charge of the management of the Tang Dynasty are forbidden to ordinary people to enter, and anyone who comes over will be ruthlessly driven away.

Li An took a look, and there were more than 500 businessmen at the scene, all of whom were sitting under the shed, drinking the iced black tea specially prepared for them by Li An.

Many merchants feel that a cup of drink is not enough, and continue to ask for iced tea, which can make the person in charge of hospitality busy, and they have to keep preparing iced tea for these merchants.

Fortunately, Ang Lee had the foresight to let Yun'er and a group of people start preparing from the morning, especially the ice cubes have been stored a lot, so even if these more than 500 businessmen drink non-stop, iced black tea can be served.

"The big guys are having a lot of fun! Ha ha! ”

Li An strode over and greeted everyone.

"Li Shilang."

All the merchants bowed down.

Of these more than 500 businessmen, at least half of them are Datang businessmen who can understand what Li An is saying, and the remaining half of the businessmen, there are also many who know some Datang language, and businessmen who can't understand Datang language also have translators, so it is not difficult to know what Li An said.
