Chapter 1363: Think about it for a few more days
Wang Yongzhu took a sip of tea with a smile, and said to Li Changnan in the tone of a big bad wolf coaxing the little white rabbit: "It just so happens that I have a big business now, and I don't worry about finding others to cooperate, and I'm wondering if I'm looking for you." I heard that the business of Yunwu Tea was transferred to someone else, and I was still worried. β
"Now that Yunwu Tea is in your hands, let's just cooperate! Once born and twice cooked, we have worked together several times, and we don't talk nonsense. β
"This business, if it is done, the Li family will definitely regret expelling you from the Li family in the future, and you may be another Li family in the future! It's just that it's risky, it takes a long time, and if you can't say it, you'll lose all your moneyβ"
The more Wang Yongzhu said this, the brighter Li Changnan's eyes became.
You know, this so-called wealth is in danger.
The greater the profit of the business, the bigger it can be to become another family's business, naturally it cannot be that smooth.
Li Changnan looked at the beautiful appearance and the birth of a rich and noble son, but he was born with a sense of adventure island spirit in his bones.
Just hearing Wang Yongzhu say this, I couldn't help but feel my blood surge.
But fortunately, he was still sensible, and said cautiously: "What kind of business?" Let's take a closer look? β
Wang Yongzhu did not hide it from him, and after arriving in Chicheng, with the help of the terrain, he opened the first grassland trade route in decades.
Li Changnan listened to it first, looked at Wang Yongzhu's expression, and only had one sentence: Are you losing your mind?
That's whimsical, isn't it?
You must know that since the founding of this dynasty, before the throne of Taizu was secured, the grassland tried to take advantage of the fire to rob.
The hot-tempered Taizu, who was personally conquered, has always subdued the grassland.
On the contrary, the two sides have been friendly and peaceful for decades.
By the time of the reign of the first emperor, although the grassland was not very convinced, it was still quite restrained.
Every few years, envoys also come to visit.
I don't know why, before the death of the first emperor, there was chaos on the grassland, and the largest tribe suddenly led troops to attack the largest Shiling Pass.
At that time, Shiling Pass was caught off guard, and the rout was in a mess, and it was the second line of defense Yanqiu Pass, which had been defeated for dozens of miles, before it came to its senses, and then contracted its troops, and did not come out of the checkpoint.
Tens of thousands of people were killed in the battle before the decline was stabilized.
The whole country was shocked! No one knew what was going on on the other side of the steppe, so they suddenly tore up the peace agreement between the two countries and suddenly sent troops.
Fortunately, from the current dynasty to the first emperor, they all focused on the military, and after the border guards stabilized the decline, the battle situation fell into a stalemate.
Although it failed to recover Shiling Pass, it did not lose another city.
It was not until he took the throne today and stabilized that Song Hong was sent as a general to replace the border guards.
Song Hong was in the border pass for about ten years, and finally defeated the grassland tribes, recaptured Shiling Pass, and advanced the battle line to the grassland for dozens of miles.
Later, because of the turmoil in the south, Song Hong was sent to quell the rebellion, and the remaining guards failed to charge, but the defense of the city was first-class.
firmly guarded the territory that Song Hong had beaten down, but he didn't give the grassland any chance.
The two sides are now quite tacit and belong to the stage of watching each other.
They all have scruples about each other, and over the years, the border has been quite calm.
But because the two countries did not sign a peace agreement, naturally no caravan dared to go to the grassland, no matter how good the money is, it must be famous to enjoy it, right?
But gradually listening to Wang Yongzhu's analysis, as well as Song Chongjin's addition on the side, Li Changnan began to waver a little again.
After all, this prospect is very good, if you can really open up the trade route, not to mention anything else, the horses, mutton and beef, all kinds of skins, and the unique pearls and gems of the grassland, it is a steady stream of wealth?
Not to mention, if it can really be done, it will save almost half of the time by taking the grassland through the Western Regions.
Spices, gems, and all kinds of crops, melons and fruits in the Western Regions......
Li Changnan was thrilled when he thought about it.
Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin saw Li Changnan's expression and knew that he was tempted.
Talking about the plan slowly, such a big thing is naturally not just a plain talk.
Song Chongjin is bored in the study these days, and most of the time, he is slowly planning.
At this moment, I took out the plan that had been listed, and it was a thick pile.
Li Changnan took it, listened to it, looked at it, and asked two questions if he didn't understand.
Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu took turns to explain.
It wasn't until it was dark that the tea had been renewed for several rounds, and Li Changnan finished reading the plan and had a score in his heart.
It's just that he is still a little hesitant, after all, the stakes are high, and he can't make such a rash decision.
Closing the plan, Li Changnan pondered: "Can you allow me to think about it for a few more days." If I really decide to do such a big thing, I will have to invest all my net worth in it, and I will not see benefits in the first few years. I'm just fine, but how many henchmen are there under my hands, they follow me, they don't want to be rich and rich, and they can't lose all their money, right? β
Wang Yongzhu said: "This is nature. The stakes are too high to be settled on the spur of the moment. That's not only irresponsible for yourself, but also for me as a partner! We are cooperating, and it is best to be willing, and don't reluctantly agree because of something else. β
"Besides, this is not a matter of a while, you can relax, stay with us for a few days, and go to Yingzigou by the way to have a look. Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person you don't have to be a friend if you don't work with me. Whether this cooperation succeeds or not, we are still friends! β
Li Changnan put his mind at ease and pushed the plan to Song Chongjin: "With your words, I am relieved!" β
As she was talking, Mrs. Zhang sent someone to urge: "The old lady said that there was something big, and she would talk about it after dinner." The effort of a meal can't delay a big thing! Hungry is a big deal! β
Song Chongjin got up and asked Li Changnan to go to the courtyard over there for dinner.
Mrs. Zhang hadn't seen Li Changnan for a long time, and when she saw him again, she was so happy that she hurriedly recruited him to her side, held her hand and looked at it for a while, and then reluctantly let go of Li Changnan's hand.
At the same time, he asked Li Changnan to sit next to him, and said, "Just sit next to me." My wife likes to watch Junxiu's offspring, looking at you, I can eat a few more bowls of rice. β
Li Changnan sat next to Mrs. Zhang very obediently, and said very obediently: "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and I miss it very much." My aunt is much younger than the last time I saw herβ"
For a while, his mouth was like containing honey, which coaxed Mrs. Zhang to smile, and she couldn't wait to treat him as her daughter.
One will give him vegetables, and the other will order him to make soup.
Because Mrs. Zhang is afraid that her sons are all rough people, if she scares this handsome guy from the capital, wouldn't she feel distressed?
At night, only Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin were accompanied, plus Du Yuanjun, there were only six people.
Song Chongjin's anger, which had been suppressed, suddenly got up again, gritted his teeth and looked at Li Changnan, signaling him to restrain himself.
