Chapter 813 Requirements

Finding someone to borrow money is often like confessing your love to the person you like.

Di Zhixun is in this state now, although he is not planning for himself, but borrowing is borrowing, he just wants to embezzle some money from Liu Yiyi, and do something that is beneficial to himself and the court, and the essence does not change.

Therefore, although he had been in Liufu for half a day and had been chatting with Liu Yiyi for nearly an hour, the old man was still embarrassed to tell his intentions.

Of course, Liu Yiyi was very surprised by Di Zhixun's sudden arrival, but Liu Yiyi knew the old man's intention.

After all, it has been nearly an hour since he was praised for having money in his family and living a rich life, coupled with Di Zhixun's unlucky appearance with a sad sigh and as if he had something to ask for, and even said that the treasury was empty, the dynasty was unlucky, and the emperor was forced to be urgent, even a fool could understand that this current dynasty was a scholar of the household department who came to borrow money.

As for whether this is the emperor's will or Di Zhixun's own will, you can guess it just by looking at Di Zhixun's twisted and pinched appearance now. If Li Shimin had given the will, Di Zhixun would have acted according to the order and done official business, and he would not feel as embarrassed as he is now.

If there is a loan but there is no return, it is a forced levy; There is borrowing and repaying, that is borrowing.

The matter of forced expropriation by the imperial court is not uncommon, not to mention the former Sui, even Li Shimin also did similar things when he attacked Jieli, and he was already a little numb, which is not surprising.

As for the imperial court's borrowing from the people, except for the national debt, which was popular in later generations, it seems that no other dynasty has ever done anything like this. After all, in the feudal era, the emperor was the Son of Heaven, high up, and the whole world was his, so how could he wipe his face and borrow money from his people?

Just like a landlord of a large household, if he does not manage well and his property is empty, even if he is too poor to eat, he will never open his mouth to borrow money from the tenants who have a little money under him, and he will lose his share and lose that person. Therefore, many times, those landlords would rather use robbery to directly occupy it, and will not put down their bodies to open their mouths to borrow, which is a face problem that they think they have.

Therefore, if Di Zhixon's trip is for loans, then Liu Yiyi has to admire the courage and vision of this old man, as the head of the household department in charge of a country's economy, well, that is, equivalent to those finance ministers of later countries, Di Zhixon can think of this very forward-looking strategy, very competent.

"Oh, and the emerging cotton spinning industry," after counting most of the commodity businesses that the Liu family is now operating, Di Zhixun pulled the problem to Bai Diezi, and said: "With the low cost of 100 yuan, a little change, in exchange for hundreds of high profits, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a million profits, I really envy the virtuous nephew, you can do such a thing at a young age......"

It is worthy of being the head of the household, Liu Yiyi pouted lightly, and after a while, he ordered all the businesses of the Liu family that could make some money, thinking that for all the current wealth of their Liu family, this old man is afraid that he can touch it more clearly and thoroughly than he, the head of the Liu family.

"If you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt for your uncle to be blunt," I didn't want to go around like this anymore, Liu Yiyi took the lead and said bluntly: "Uncle and godmother are cousins, and one is Shijie and Renjie's husband, which can be regarded as his own family, don't be like an outsider, what does uncle have to say, but he can say it bluntly." ”

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew is smart, I think I have already seen some clues," Seeing that Liu Yiyi opened his mouth to point out the topic, Di Zhixun was happy to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and follow the trend: "Don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, this trip to Sanyuan, in addition to missing Zhizhi and his cousin, is that there is also a state affair, and I want to ask the virtuous nephew." ”

"Liu Cheng, you all retreat first, no one is allowed to approach without my orders." Seeing that Di Zhixun's face was embarrassed, and from time to time he looked at Liu Cheng and the others, Liu Yiyi understood, and pulled his subordinates back, and then said to Di Zhixun: "Please explain to Uncle

Seeing that there were no idlers around, while admiring Liu Yiyi for being sensible, Di Zhixun finally stopped being hypocritical, and directly opened his speech to get to the point, saying: "The emperor intends to send troops to Gaochang, and the virtuous nephew thinks he already knows about it, right?" ”

Liu Yiyi nodded silently, and motioned for Di Zhixun to continue.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and many wars, in addition to the bravery of the soldiers, many times the fight is also the money and food in the rear. If there is enough money and food, the soldiers will be brave; When money and food are scarce, the war is over. "Although Di Zhixon is not a general, he still understands some things in the art of war, especially those related to their household department.

"And this money and grain," Di Zhixun sighed and said, "The virtuous nephew should also know that in the past two years, natural disasters have been interrupted, agricultural harvests have gradually decreased, not to mention that there is no income from taxes every year, and money and grain have to be allocated to many counties and counties in the territory to relieve the famine, so to this day, there is not much surplus in the treasury." ”

"And Gao Chang, showing his disobedience, in order to deter other countries, this war has to be carried out." After calling out for a while, Di Zhixun began to set up affairs for Liu Yiyi again, and said softly: "But the war, and the lack of money and food, the emperor handed over this matter to the old man to plan, which really gave the old man a headache. ”

"I wonder what my uncle's plans are?" Liu Yiyi knew that the advisor, after all, this kind of thing, if he behaved too diligently, he would not be able to make the other party better remember his benefits.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the virtuous nephew when I say it," Di Zhixun's old face flushed, but he still said cheekily: "I know that the virtuous nephew is now rich in his family, so the old man moved his mind to borrow money from the virtuous nephew, and I don't know if the virtuous nephew can ......."

"This is also what the emperor means by his old man?" Without answering the old man's question, Liu Yiyi hung his mouth slightly.

"The emperor did think about recruiting the people, but he was opposed by the old man and the old man Su at the same time and vetoed." Di Zhixun glanced up at Liu Yiyi, and said a little reminding and threatening: "But if it is a last resort, the emperor is afraid that he will have the intention of asking the people again." ”

Liu Yiyi nodded, indicating that he understood the meaning of Di Zhixun's words, in fact, Di Zhixun did not say it, Liu Yiyi also considered the possibility of family property insecurity, when the emperor, especially the founding king, few will be fuel-efficient lamps, forced to be in a hurry, anything can be done, Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang was rich and rivaled the country's Shen Wansan, is not the best example?

Many people are jealous, and so is many riches.

Update the hand] hit ~ Liu Yiyi knew that the speed of accumulation and the wealth accumulated by Liu Mansion in the past two years were enough to make most of the courtiers in the court red.

"I wonder how much money my uncle needs?" Liu Yiyi directly put the favor on Di Zhixun, without asking the emperor or the household, and asked Di Zhixun how much he needed. The meaning is naturally obvious, I am willing to borrow money, and I can see your Di Zhixun's face, and you have to admit this.

"One million guan" understood the meaning of Liu's words, Di Zhixun did not refute, and directly said the amount of loans, which was regarded as a recognition of this favor: "The interest is thirty percent higher than the current money bank, and when the household department has the balance in the next year, the loan will be repaid to the virtuous nephew first." ”

"A million?" To be honest, compared to the current family background of Liufu, this money is not much, even if you lend some more, it is nothing. It's just that Liu Yiyi is worried about whether this is a slap in the face of the emperor? In such an era of the supremacy of feudal kings, will this kind of behavior of becoming the emperor's creditor arouse the suspicion of the emperor and others?

"How?" Di Zhixun was a little nervous, afraid that he would ask for too much, and Liu Yiyi would shirk it, so he continued: "If the virtuous nephew can't make up enough for a while, 800,000 yuan is fine." ”

"Money is not a problem," made up his mind, Liu Yiyi said to Di Zhixun in a firm voice: "The little nephew will add another million guan and 300,000 quintals of rice grain, without interest, and he will not need to return it to his father and uncle or the court in the future." ”

"As long as the uncle can agree to the little nephew's request," glancing at Di Zhixun, Liu Yi said: "Two million pieces of silver, even if the little nephew is willing to donate, and it can be sent to the treasury of the household department in three days." ”

"Tell me about it? If the old man can do it, he will not disappoint the virtuous nephew" Di Zhixun pretended to be calm on his face, but he was already excited in his heart, two million guan, a full two million guan If you can get these silver coins and grain and grass, let alone attack one Gaochang, even three or five can support it

"It's not that hard, and my uncle can do it." Liu Yiyi chuckled, took a sip of hot tea, and continued: "As long as the uncle can make a little suggestion for the little nephew in front of the emperor, no matter whether the emperor will adopt it in the end, the money and food promised by the little nephew will be given in full." ”

"Or, after three days, after the little nephew sends these two million pieces of silver and 300,000 quintals of rice to the household department, it doesn't hurt for the uncle to make another plan." After glancing at Di Zhixun, Liu Yiyi said: "The little nephew believes in his uncle's character. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect the old man's character to be so valuable?" Di Zhixon chuckled self-deprecatingly, but there was a hint of solemnity in his expression, he knew that he didn't look at Liu Yiyi to say it so easily, but what he asked for would definitely not be so simple.

Two million yuan of silver, 300,000 quintals of rice grain, and paying such a big price in exchange for a dispensable promise from the emperor?

Di Zhixun looked at Liu Yiyi in a quiet voice and asked softly: "I don't know what the virtuous nephew wants the old man to say to the emperor?" ”

"It's very simple," Liu Yiyi said lightly: "If my Liu clan makes any unforgivable mistakes in the future, my little nephew hopes that the emperor can see the Liu clan's contribution to the court this time, and only punish the culprit, without affecting the whole clan, and leave some blood for my Liu clan." ”

In the final analysis, Liu Yiyi still wants to take this opportunity to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and ask for a talisman for his family-

In the next half a month, Lao Liu may be cheeky and weakly ask for a few monthly passes, in order to give himself some incentives, I hope you don't feel weird, if you are really not angry, just save some tickets and smash them to the occasion, even will not be afraid
