Chapter 248: Meritorious Advice
As soon as Li Shimin sat down, he said to Li Dongsheng, "I called you over in such a hurry, I really listened to Dai Aiqing's report and wanted to hear your opinion." 35xsā
Looking at the eyes of the bigwigs around him, Li Dongsheng reminded himself in his heart that a companion is like a tiger, and it is not the time to talk nonsense in front of so many people. So he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty asked, Weichen must know everything!" ā
Li Shimin raised his hand first, "You sit down first." ā
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Dongsheng sat on half of his buttocks and straightened his waist.
"We listened to Lord Dai's report that we can sell the grassland around Dingxiang City?" Surprisingly, the first person to speak was the eldest grandson Wuji.
"That's right, Weichen mentioned it to Master Dai."
"How does this work?" Fang Xuanling asked.
"At present, no tribe dares to enter this grassland, we can send a letter to the tribes of the grassland, inviting them to Dingxiang City to participate in the auction, the highest price will be guaranteed, guaranteed by my Tang Dingxiang garrison, and if the rest of the tribes want to take advantage, we are responsible for driving them away!"
"Then how do you know that a tribe has returned, and how is the price calculated?" Du Ruhui said softly.
Li Dongsheng looked up, Li Shimin was looking at him with blazing eyes, and the rest of the bigwigs also looked at him, he said calmly, "The price is set here at the reserve price, and then it will be auctioned publicly, and the one with the highest price will win!" After a pause, he said, "You can find a few small tribes and let them raise the price!" ā
Li Shimin nodded and said, "How is the auction of prisoners of war calculated?" That's not a good reputation! ā
"The matter of prisoners of war can be solved by a big businessman, and he will come forward to solve everything, we just need to wait for the profits, and we can shirk anything else!"
"Dongsheng's method is good, push one person in front, and I'll collect money in the back!" Du Ruhui nodded, "Just be careful of internal and external collusion." Flash"
"Li Tanhua, what are the long-term benefits you are talking about?" Li Shimin thinks about it or wants to calculate the long-term benefits to compare.
Li Dongsheng carefully organized the language: "Your Majesty, this long-term benefit is more complicated, that is, a chamber of commerce is established by the emperor, the household department, the merchants, and the soldiers who participated in the war, and it is divided proportionally, and there is an income every year. ā
"What is there in that meadow to gain from? I can't think of anything good about it. ā
"The cattle and sheep on the grassland are treasures, and in the past, the Hu people could only raise sheep and sell meat, and at most sell sheepskins, which is a waste. We can spin wool and sheepskin for shoes and belts, and it's all money! Li Dongsheng's eyes lit up, and he thought of all kinds of big enterprises in later generations, what cashmere coats, sweaters, coats or something, that is not a rich country!
"What do you want to focus on the composition of this chamber of commerce?" Li Shimin heard that there was something different in Li Dongsheng's words, and it was likely to be a earth-shaking change. Flash Dance
Li Dongsheng took a breath and slowly spit it out and said, "Your Majesty, the composition of this chamber of commerce is several groups, the first is the emperor, the whole world is not the king's land, so the interests of the emperor must be guaranteed, the second is the household department, he represents the interests of my Datang is also the direct management department of the chamber of commerce, and the income enters the treasury, the third is the business, which is invested, operated, and settled by him, and the fourth is the soldiers who participated in this battle, including the sacrificed people, all according to the roster of the government soldiers, counted as shares, and the number of shares is calculated by level, and then the dividends are uniformly distributed!" It can be inherited, not transferred, and in the event of sacrifice or accidental death, the shares are divided among the rest of the soldiers. ā
Li Shimin listened to his words, and walked back and forth in the hall excitedly, "This method is good, you can deal with it according to this method in the future, everyone shares risks and benefits, then these soldiers are entangled with my Datang, why worry about not working hard in the war!" In fact, he still has something to say, that is, with such a deep binding of interests, no one will rebel anymore, because once he rebels, there is nothing!
Several bigwigs are all top people, and they know the benefits of this method after thinking about it in their hearts, and they all nodded, "Dongsheng's method is good!" ā
"Dongsheng, you are not honest, it seems that if you don't say a word, it shouldn't be so simple for this wool and sheepskin to become a product, why don't you bring it up, if this problem is not solved, what you just said is in the air!" The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while.
"Lord Eldest Sun's eyes are like torches, I have skills in this product, I can authorize it to the Chamber of Commerce, just give a fee!"
"How can you be such a philistine, a dignified jinshi who talks about things all day long!" Eldest Sun Wuji immediately reprimanded him solemnly.
"The world is bustling, all for profit, it's not a shame to talk about money, and it's because of lack of money that I came here."
Li Dongsheng looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "This is not a matter of money, but a matter of integrity, in this chamber of commerce, the emperor, the household department, and the soldiers participating in the war are all strong, but the merchant is a vulnerable group, if they want them to pay, will they not worry?" At this time, it is rumored that the Chamber of Commerce will spend money on my technology, and they will give them a message, and they will definitely sign up! ā
Li Shimin silently pondered for a moment, "Li Dongsheng, you are not very old, but you always do things unexpectedly and in a unique way, but you can always solve problems." Do you think that merchant can take over this? ā
Li Dongsheng thought for a while, "Weichen thinks that Hu Shang in the Western Regions can, first, they communicate well with the Turks and know very well about things on the grassland, second, they have strong financial resources and can pay a high price, and third, this can isolate the penetration of the absolute government soldiers!" ā
As soon as the last sentence came out, Li Shimin raised his head violently, and the rest of the bigwigs also looked at Li Dongsheng with shocked eyes, but he had a calm attitude, "I rose in the turbulent times of the Tang Dynasty, swept through the United States, and destroyed the Eastern Turks, the prosperity of martial arts, which has not been seen in hundreds of years, I have the same idea as the common people, that is, we want to live in such a prosperous world, and we don't want anyone to destroy it!" ā
Li Shimin was told the biggest worry in his heart, and he was afraid at first, but after Li Dongsheng said what was in his heart, Li Shimin also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could strengthen the rule of the throne, he must support it!
"Someone!" Li Shimin called the eunuch, "Li Dongsheng has made meritorious contributions, and he will give a jade belt and a set of residences to encourage!" ā
"Huh?" Li Dongsheng was also taken aback by the emperor's generosity, and he still wanted to buy a house, so he came over and said a few words, and a house was sent.
The rest of the bigwigs said loudly: "The emperor is wise!" ā
"Since Li Dongsheng brought up this matter by you, then I will leave it to you to be responsible, I hope you can give me a surprise!"
"Wechen obeys!" Li Dongsheng turned around and saw Dai Xuan's concerned gaze, and nodded, meaning that I am ready!
