"Look here, don't run around, I'll come when I go. Liu Han went out after the order, Mia was stunned, and was about to speak, Tianna grabbed her and shook her head at her, Mia looked at her suspiciously, Tianna didn't explain, pulled her to kneel in front of the idol, and prayed silently.

Liu Han followed the old man to the backyard, there was still no figure along the way, in front of the moon gate, only to see a guard with a knife standing at the door, the guard did not stop them, Liu Han went in with the goatee, his divine sense was released, and there were at least twelve hidden piles near the ambush, three of which were outside, the roof was high, and the rest were all over the courtyard.

In the backyard, similar to other Taoist temples, but more simple, the grass and trees are fences, the bluestone paves the road, three tall and dense yellow leaf camphor trees cover most of the courtyard, in the meantime, raise your eyes to see, a shed is set up outside the grass house, surrounded by wisteria, there are yellow flowers, dotted with stars, walking in it, can't help but give birth to a faint sense of dust, what troubles and disputes are gone.

Under the wisteria canopy, King Qin's embroidered robe and white clothes sat behind the table, looking at Liu Han leisurely, revealing a faint smile: "Mr. Liu, you are late." ”

"Your Royal Highness, you should have stepped up your whip and came to see you immediately, but Liu was so entangled in mundane things that it was delayed, and I ask the prince to forgive me. Liu Han replied with a fist.

"Mr. Luan and Captain Rhino both recommend Mr. to this king," King Qin looked at Liu Han with great satisfaction, Liu Han was long, dark complexion, with a frosty complexion, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant: "The two of them never recommend people to this king easily, and now both of them respect Mr., and this king is curious and wants to meet Mr. ”

"I'm disappointed by the prince," Liu Han still remained still: "Liu is just a little person who is running for a living, and he is lucky enough to know Mr. Luan and Captain Rhino, and the two of them can afford it, but I am afraid that it will not help the prince." ”

King Qin made a gesture and asked Liu Han to come forward and sit down, Liu Han did not give in, and went straight to sit opposite King Qin, King Qin smiled and lifted the teapot to pour tea for him, Liu Han also unceremoniously picked up the teacup: "The grass people borrow flowers to worship the gods and worship the prince!"

"It's good!" King Qin praised in his heart, how could such a character fall into the lowly business of a merchant, no wonder first Xi Feng, and then Luan Xuan, were all impressed by him, such a character is not easy to subdue, but once he is subdued, he can become a humerus cadre.

"Mr. Liu is humble, your three strategies for Dingyongzhou, I have already read it, so that this king is suddenly open, Mr. is talented!"

"The prince praised it falsely, these three strategies are just to cut the flesh and mend the sores, and the difficulty of Yongzhou is only delayed for three years. Liu Han replied calmly, King Qin's eyes were solemn, and he looked at Liu Han's eyes with great meaning, and Liu Han smiled faintly: "Actually, how can you hide the trouble of the three strategies." ”

"The trouble of the three strategies?" King Qin didn't expect Liu Han to reveal the drawbacks himself, as a member of the royal family, he had already understood the way to use people, and he would use both grace and power. When I met Liu Han today, I originally came to Enwei and Shi, and I wanted to point out the disadvantages of the three strategies to him, use them to make him panic, and then add grace to envelop this person. didn't think about it, Liu Han directly brought out the trouble of the three strategies as soon as they met.

King Qin had no choice but to sigh at Liu Han's words, and his smile immediately changed to a sad face: "Mr. is right, but the three strategies can solve Yongzhou's urgent needs, and it is already a great contribution to the country, and after three years, the imperial court will not look at Yongzhou's predicament." ”

Liu Hanxin said that he was dreaming, but he smiled on his face and did not speak, which showed his attitude, but King Qin did not talk further, but directly talked about the purpose of today's meeting: "Mr. is willing to serve this king, and this king is deeply grateful." ”

Speaking of this, King Qin took out the Changle token and put it in front of Liu Han, Liu Han stared at the token silently, King Qin said with some reserve: "This token is called Changle Ling, it is my portable token, Mr. God, the lonely king also has some friends in the imperial capital, they see this token, they know that Mr. can be trusted." ”

Liu Han immediately understood, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, it turned out that this guy was letting his God go to be a spy for him, damn, what is this, Changle Ling, there is a fart. He pondered for a moment and pushed the token back in front of King Qin, King Qin was a little surprised, Liu Han said calmly: "The prince is very loving, and the grass people dare not take it." ”

"Sir, why is this?" King Qin was surprised and asked a little unhappily.

"Lord Wang, the grass people have three strategies, but for the time being, the grass people promised to work for the prince, but the grass people only agreed to do business with the prince, and the benefits were used to solve the difficulties of Yongzhou for the prince. Liu Han was not flustered, his expression was calm, and he said slowly, the meaning is very clear, what I promised is to do business with you, not to do anything else for you.

King Qin was stunned again, he thought he had heard it wrong, and couldn't help but repeat: "Doing business with shares?"

Liu Han nodded affirmatively, King Qin felt a little ridiculous, unreasonable, what kind of thing are you, give you three points of face, you dare to put your nose on your face, and actually dare to mention that you will join hands with this king to do business! These villains are rampant when they get their ambitions.

"Don't blame the prince," Liu Han saw King Qin's displeasure, and said quietly: "This token is so important, the grass people can't afford this responsibility, so please take it back." In addition, the grass people should also advise the prince that power is the important weapon of the country, and it should not be given lightly. ”

King Qin's expression gradually eased, and Liu Han continued: "Although the Hanhai Trading Company has a thin property, the income of the trading company cannot fill the Yongzhou treasury. ”

Liu Han was not frightened by King Qin at all, and unequivocally raised his worries, will you, King Qin, take advantage of this to swallow my estate.

King Qin listened quietly, and after Liu Han finished speaking, he smiled slightly: "Mr. Liu filtered, you are worried that I will take away people's property, don't worry, this kind of thing will never be done by this king." ”

Liu Han looked at King Qin with some surprise, and for the first time he had such a good impression of this prince, the superiors of this era rarely think about others, let's just say Qiuyun, the virtuous name is outside, but when he is asked to do things, he also does not consider his feelings at all.

"Do business to replenish the treasury," King Qin sighed, and his handsome face showed a sad expression for the first time: "It's not the right way, if it weren't for the bitterness and no good strategy, the lonely king would not adopt it, alas, the annual tax revenue of the Yongzhou treasury is only a million yuan, converted into silver, but a hundred thousand taels, Mr. I'm afraid I didn't expect it, but Yongzhou has a large amount of money, the border army, the salaries of officials at all levels, and appease the displaced people, is it enough?"

Last year, the Yongbei snow disaster, the victims were everywhere, the drought in Longnan, more than 100,000 households were affected, you came from Liangzhou, and I saw a lot of victims along the way, I have the heart to help, but the treasury has no money, the court played the court, the court issued an edict, let the local fundraising, but I was empty-handed, so to raise funds?

Speaking of this, King Qin was a little excited, a trace of red tide appeared on his white face, he stood up, looked at the auspicious beast squatting on the roof of the main hall, his chest rose and fell, Liu Han looked at him sympathetically, this prince was probably holding back too bitterly, and it broke out today.

"I only got 50,000 stone of grain with the respect of the prince, hehe, Mr. Liu, I didn't expect it," King Qin sneered and said, "Your three strategies have solved the urgent needs of this king, so that this king also has time to deal with them." ”

"The prince's benevolence is the blessing of the people of Yongzhou," Liu Han said thoughtfully: "The prince let the grass people master the business, and the grass people should serve, but since they serve the prince, the public and private should be clear, so the prince still needs to take a charter, and the grass people will follow it after seeing it." ”

King Qin sat down slowly, he had never met such a person, the rise and fall of the world, the people of Li, were not in his heart, and he always firmly guarded his own field, it seemed that like those gate valves, his own face as a prince was not worth much to him.

"I don't understand commercial matters, but I only have one request, after three years, I will provide 50,000 taels of silver to the Yongzhou Treasury every year. ”

After finishing speaking, King Qin stared at Liu Han tightly, Liu Han was silent, and after a while, he picked up the teacup and drank it all, put down the teacup and hugged his fist at King Qin: "Thank you for the prince's love, the grass people are only shallow in learning, and they can't afford this burden. ”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Han felt movement behind him, seven or eight eyes stared at him, the air around him gradually condensed, he quietly condensed his internal qi, as long as there was a slight change, he would flee immediately. Even if King Qin was in front of him, he didn't dare to touch him, unless he wanted to die in the world.

King Qin was still staring at him, Liu Han took a step back, turned around slowly, and stood on the side with a goatee expressionless, not even moving a single hair, as if he hadn't seen Liu Han's movements.

"Wait," King Qin called, Liu Han stopped, turned to look at King Qin, King Qin made a gesture: "Mr. Liu, please go back." ”

Liu Han hesitated and came back to stand in front of King Qin, and King Qin said, "Mr. Liu, please take a seat." ”

Liu Han sat down, King Qin picked up the teapot and poured tea for Liu Han, and asked hesitantly, "Is it that King Lone's request has embarrassed Mr."

"Lord Wang," Liu Han smiled bitterly: "No one in this world can meet your requirements, you pay 10,000 taels of capital, after five years, you will be given a dividend of 50,000 taels every year, Lord Wang, according to normal business transactions, the gross profit is very small above 10%, unless you risk 10,000 deaths, go to the desert, the trade in the mainland, even if the gross profit of salt and iron is only two to 30 percent, Lord Wang, you calculate, 10,000 principal, how much does it have to appreciate every year, so that after five years, you can give you 50,000 silver every year?"

Liu Han is very helpless, the most people in this era are financial management, the ram is known as a financial expert, but in fact he is just a master of robbery, no one in this era knows how to develop the economy, and his understanding of the economy is almost equivalent to an idiot. In the era of industrial economy, 10,000 taels of silver could become 100,000 in a year or even half a year, but this is an agricultural economy, and it is simply impossible, unless you rob it.

King Qin didn't speak, but he didn't calculate in his heart, he didn't know how to calculate at all, Liu Han took a sip of water before continuing: "Unless you want to build a casino, if you want to build a casino, the prince can find another person, and the grass people won't." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Han simply put his heart sideways: "Actually, if the prince wants to open up financial resources, there is another way, which is to take all the gambling houses and brothels in Chang'an City, and the grass people dare to say that the annual income is definitely more than 50,000 taels of silver." ”

King Qin was dumbfounded, what kind of person is this guy, he actually dares to instigate a prince to run a gambling house and a brothel, if this is to be spread, wouldn't it be ridiculous to the world.

Liu Han naturally knew that this was impossible, in fact, it was not impossible, King Qin could send a stand-in, but once this move was implemented, the underground world of Chang'an City would be bloody.

"Lord Wang, let me propose a plan," Liu Han said, King Qin felt a little ridiculous, he was like a small trader in Chang'an City, bargaining, but this Liu Han was like a gummy, soft and hard not to eat, but the more he was like this, the stronger King Qin's curiosity became, and the more he wanted to see what his hole cards were.

"The prince doesn't care what I do, you provide 10,000 taels of silver, for three years, I will provide you with 10,000 taels of silver every year, and after ten years, I will give you 30,000 taels of silver every year. ”

King Qin calculated silently in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't count, frowned and muttered: "Ten years, ten years, thirty thousand taels, Mr. Liu, what if I give you 20,000 taels of silver?"

"Same. "Liu Han didn't talk nonsense, it was very simple and simple, King Qin was stunned, 10,000 taels is like this, 20,000 taels is also like this, what's going on?

King Qin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "Why is this?"

Liu Han quietly lifted the teapot, slowly brought it to the King of Qin, aimed at the teacup, and tilted it slowly, the teapot is Yaozhou's fine porcelain, on the wall of the pot is depicted with blooming orchids, white petals, thin branches and leaves, the tea is hot, drawing an arc, and pouring it into the white teacup.

"Lord Wang, your treasury is this teapot," Liu Han said calmly: "What we have to do, the funds we need are this teacup, no matter how big this teapot is, the teacup can only hold so much water." ”

King Qin looked at the teacup silently, the water in the teacup was a little green, the water in the cup happened to be flush with the rim of the cup, no more, no less, the table was clean, there was no trace of water. King Qin didn't know the mystery, and the goatee on the side stared, this is not something that ordinary people can do, in addition to eyesight, there is also wrist strength, and it is also necessary to use internal qi to protect the teacup around.

"Can you change to a larger teacup?" asked King Qin tentatively.

Liu Hanxin said that the prince was finally able to take his mind away from the silver and began to think about something, he sighed and said: "Lord, the grass people went to the imperial capital this time, and they were already going to do jewelry business, but the prince's treasury was empty, and they couldn't take out much capital, and the grass people promised 30,000 yuan, and they were already ready to post money to the prince." ”

King Qin didn't say anything more, and it was only 30,000 taels of silver ten years later, which was much lower than his expectations, which made him very disappointed, Liu Han sighed: "Lord Wang, the joint stock business, originally distributed dividends according to shares, so let's do it, in the future, I will give Wang Ye a hundred percent of the shares in the jewelry store that will be opened in the imperial capital." ”

King Qin couldn't help but smile, with anger in his smile, Liu Han shook his head: "Lord Wang, the jewelry business is a capital-intensive industry, and it is originally a big cup, and what kind of cup to change, the grass people really don't know." ”

"Alas," King Qin sighed: "This king is lonely about business, and this king doesn't understand Mr. Liu's words, but this king knows that Mr. Liu is good at business, so what else to say, just do what Mr. says." ”

Liu Han sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, God, I finally don't waste Lao Tzu's tongue, with the thick leg of King Qin, at least in Yongliang and Liangzhou, Hanhai Trading Company can ensure safety, and the collusion between officials and businessmen is successful.

If the jewelry store is successful, there is no problem in earning more than 100,000 yuan a year, but the problem is that this prince is a bottomless pit, how big is Yongzhou, tens of thousands of officials, tens of thousands of border troops, but he Liu Han can feed?

Therefore, it is necessary to kill this prince from the beginning, so that he will not be greedy.

King Qin pushed the Changle Order in front of Liu Han, Liu Han still wanted to refuse, King Qin shook his head slightly: "Mr. Liu still holds it, in the imperial capital, the Lone King still has a few friends, if there is any emergency, the Lone King is far away in Chang'an, it is difficult to help, Mr. Liu can hold this token to find, and he will be able to solve the temporary difficulty." ”

Liu Han thought about it and accepted it, King Qin was very happy to watch him put the token into his arms, he stood up and said with great interest: "Wen Jun's words are better than ten years of study; ”

"It's different," Liu Han said, "What the prince said is not right or not. ”

King Qin sighed softly, and Liu Han explained: "Compared with governing the country and the locality, doing business is relatively simple, the general principle is to buy low and sell high, of course, there are many details, only by grasping these details, it is possible to succeed, this is the wrong place for the prince, how can you say it right?"

The key to the success of business is interests, both sides can get benefits, or get benefits, the same is true for governing the locality, the main thing is to let the local people of all walks of life get benefits, the interests of the scholars belong to the scholars, the interests of the Shu people belong to the Shu people, and the interests of the common people belong to the commoners. ”

King Qin looked at him with a peculiar gaze as if he had heard some strange talk, Liu Han didn't pay attention, and still continued: "The root of the court's financial difficulties today actually lies in the imbalance of interests, the interests of the scholars are too large, and the interests of the common people are harmed, resulting in various social contradictions, which are finally reflected in the government and politics, so the balance of interests is the most important, or a certain party can be a little more, but it must not be too much." ”

After Liu Han finished speaking, he looked at King Qin, King Qin's expression was complicated, but he was more puzzled, Liu Han woke up and secretly scolded himself for being troublesome, in this era, do you understand sociology, social structure, olive-shaped society, they know a fart.

"It's the first time I've heard of Mr.'s words, and this king doesn't understand," King Qin was also honest and frankly admitted that he didn't understand: "But according to what Mr. said, everything in the world is a copper-smelling thing?

"The grass people don't read much, but the grass people think that the words of the sage are also due to events, by the way, the grass people have read the "Taoist Codex", and the Taoist code says that the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost, isn't this the balance of interests. ”

King Qin was dumbfounded, this Taoist book is a must-read book for the prince, he read and recited it at the age of seven or eight, Liu Han quoted the original words, "The way of heaven, its bow is still open, the higher one suppresses it, the lower one lifts it; the surplus loses it, and the insufficient one makes up for it." The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. The way of man, otherwise, the loss is not enough to give more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist. ”

Thinking about it again, I think of what Taizu's adviser Zhang Qian said in the record of Taizu that the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, which may also be the truth.

Liu Han felt that today's harvest was not small, he kept his independence in front of King Qin, and did not give King Qin more benefits, and King Qin must also provide him with protection, in addition to the industry in Chang'an, there is also an industry that will be carried out in the imperial capital, from now on he is no longer a child walking on the street with gold ingots, not a person who can step on it casually.
