Yang Huairen said, "It's not your fault, you have a specialization in the art industry, you don't lead the troops to fight, of course you don't know the Tao here, what you have to do now is to do a good job of your city's shipbuilding business, just take care of the shipbuilding matter."

You don't have to worry about the rest, this king has his own way to pay for the problem, what you have to do now is to get back the money and silver promised by those merchants today as soon as possible, and I believe they will not deny it.

Remember to keep a clear account of the money, and send it to the shipyard first after the money is returned, so that Dai can hurry up and purchase the materials needed for shipbuilding, and tell him to buy and bargain, and you can help with the bargaining, but you must not delay the shipbuilding. ”

Cen Xiaonian said "snort", bowed his chin and bowed, and went to instruct his subordinates to prepare for money.

Yang Huairen saw him go away, with a sly smile on his face, and he looked confident, he turned around and called a personal soldier and gave him an order in his ear, and then re-entered Qifeng Tower and returned to his brothers.

This meal Yang Huairen prepared was really rich, although he did not cook it himself, but the north and south dishes on the table can be described as very rich, Yang Huairen is so picky about food people recognize the taste of these dishes, it seems that the chef of Qifenglou is still good.

It's a pity that the merchants only thought about their own money, and they didn't really eat much, and there were more than a dozen tables of dishes left that barely moved, so Yang Huairen beckoned his brothers and guards to continue eating, ignoring those merchants.

Tianba's younger brother was very happy, he felt that inviting a group of businessmen to have a meal would help Wu Dejun earn 150,000 yuan in military expenses for nothing, which was too cost-effective.

Yang Huairen didn't want his brothers to worry about these things, so he also smiled and recognized the statement of Tianba's younger brother.

Brother Hei Niu was careful, and naturally found that Yang Huairen's eyes were a little gloomy, and when everyone left the table and returned to the camp, he quietly asked Yang Huairen, "Things are not going well?" ”

Since Brother Hei Niu asked so, Yang Huairen didn't have to hide anything, and casually explained the matter to this brother.

"The faces of these businessmen, the more I look at them, the more I hate them, there is nothing wrong with having the ability to make money, but when you make money, you become rich and unkind, and you are selfish, which makes me very angry.

But my brother doesn't have to worry about me, I have other ways, money has never been a problem for me. ”

Brother Hei Niu didn't understand the reason, and he couldn't help much, so he could only say a few comforting words such as paying attention to his body, but he felt that since Yang Huairen said that there was a way, then he would definitely be able to solve the problem in front of him.

Yang Huairen resented those businessmen in his heart, but he was only angry for a while, and his heart was full of contempt for these people for a moment, and he also sighed that it was no wonder that scholars looked down on businessmen.

He has also made a lot of money in recent years, and now he is also considered the number one rich man in the Song Dynasty.

But he only admitted that he was a profiteer, but he could not admit that he was rich and unkind, and while he made money, he also led many people who were originally living in poverty to live a good life.

At present, the family has sent a large amount of money to the west to build a foreign trade center, although in the long run, the money he will transfer back in the future will definitely not lose this investment.

But in fact, he spent his own money to help the country find a way to make money, and the money invested to build a new town, which was also owned by the imperial court, and he only had the priority of doing business in the future business of the New Silk Road.

Like these businessmen in Jiangnan, there is a simple truth they don't understand, and regardless of the emperor and the imperial court, when the country is strong, it is a good thing for businessmen, and they can also make more money and make money more safely.

But the country is weak, what is the use of making more money they make? In the future, whether it is the Khitan or the Jurchen Mongols, the property they have worked so hard to accumulate will not be sent into other people's pockets in vain?

This is obviously the clarity of the small accounts and the confusion of the big accounts.

After eating, he sent his brothers back to the camp, but Yang Huairen stayed and drank tea quietly in a private room on the second floor of Qifeng Building, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Yang Huairen is now doing things, and he has gradually learned to prepare with both hands, as a traverser's self-confidence, he does not have it, but he knows how to make the most adequate preparations and meet the most difficulties.

It's not that he is so invincible after crossing it, Yang Huairen has come all the way, and it seems to be very smooth, but every time he thinks about these journeys, he is always frightened, if he takes a wrong step in the middle, it is likely that he has already fallen into the abyss of no return.

After a while, the guards brought over two people, and Yang Huairen got up to welcome the two in, and personally brought them a cup of tea.

Huang Million and Bai Yinhai laughed a little unnaturally, and the more Yang Huairen attached importance to them, the more uneasy they felt in their hearts.

Yang Huairen invited the maritime merchants to a banquet and invited them, but he didn't let them show up directly to attend the banquet, but invited them to come over and chat alone after the banquet, which made them very uncertain.

In the matter of Zhao Xianqiu's previous incident, if Yang Huairen was ruthless, they would also be implicated, but Yang Huairen let them go, and let them know that they were going to be used later.

They also heard about Yang Huairen's fundraising at the banquet, and now they were invited alone, and they guessed that this fundraising should not raise money that satisfied Yang Huairen, so according to them, two famous wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan, to solve the remaining money problem.

Yang Huairen spoke first, "Today's Qifeng Tower, I think you already know, so I don't need to talk nonsense." ”

Huang Million and Bai Yinhai glanced at each other, and hurriedly said in unison, "The matter of township donation, the two of us naturally want to be a part, and the prince doesn't have to worry." ”

Yang Huairen continued to drink tea without speaking, and Huang Wanwan said first, "The grass people are willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to help the Wu Dejun build the best warship, if it is not enough, the grass people will continue to donate." ”

Immediately afterwards, Bai Yinhai also said, "The grass people are also willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver, and the grass people will never refuse." ”

Yang Huairen put down the teacup with a smile, "Very good, I finally met two real loyal and patriotic businessmen." ”

Huang Million and Bai Yinhai hurriedly said modestly, "The grass people don't dare to be, we are all subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is within our duty to contribute our own strength to the great plan of the Great Song Dynasty to strengthen the army." ”

Yang Huairen smiled and motioned for them not to be nervous and to have a cup of tea first.

"What you have done today is indeed very generous, and in the future, this king will definitely report your deeds to the court and tell Your Majesty that you know."

Huang Million and Bai Yinhai were overjoyed, and bowed down again and said, "Thank you for raising the prince." ”

"Wait, don't worry about thanking you two first, listen to me first."

Yang Huairen said slowly, "Wu Dejun's establishment of a naval army and building a warship is not a problem that can be solved with 200,000 taels of silver, I need 1.5 million taels!" ”
