Thinking that Li Shimin was probably behind the scenes when he met, the old men were even more scared. A gentleman could deceive him, but villains were different, especially villains like Li Muyun.

If Li Muyun really gets Li Er's instructions, then what will he and others use to resist? Who dares to really stand aside with people like me under the butcher knife?

Don’t count on people’s hearts and opinions. As the head of aristocratic families, they can see clearly that the people actually don’t care much about who will be the emperor or what the emperor did. Their request is very simple, that is, to survive. As long as they can survive and live better, the people will not care who the emperor killed or fight with.

To count the previous dynasty, which generation of people rebelled was not because they could not survive? Which generation of people rebelled was because the emperor killed the same minister or killed several wealthy families?

Seeing that several old men were shocked, Li Muyun changed the subject and said with a smile: "What I just said was just some assumptions. Now let's talk about more realistic issues."

"First of all, what I want to know is what you really value, whether the continuation of the family or the meaningless reputation, you don't need to answer immediately, because this is a very contradictory question, and you can wait until you go back and think about it slowly. Secondly, I have a relatively profitable business, so I want to ask if you have any ideas for cooperation."

Cooperation? The heads of several major families look at each other. Is this an olive branch sent by Li Muyun or Li Shimin?

The owner of the Wang family picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He took the opportunity to consider Li Muyun's proposal, and then put down the teacup after a moment: "I wonder what business the prince wants to do?"

"Fight money."

"What?" Maybe Li Muyun said it too simply, and the old men thought for a long time but couldn't understand any two words.

Li Muyun smiled, waved to Mu Xin who was standing aside, took a copper coin she handed over and threw it in her hand and said, "Do you all recognize this thing?"

Looking at the copper coins in Li Muyun's hand, if the heads of several major families don't know what "money speculation" means, it would be like they have lived for decades in vain. So at that moment, everyone's faces changed, and the eyes of someone were full of shock.

In the eyes of these old men, Li Er was already brave enough to dare to perfunctory Li Er, but he didn't expect that Li Muyun was even more courageous and wanted to make money on copper coins. This could no longer be described as the size of courage.

If others are all brave enough to grow inside the body, and under normal circumstances, the body is covered with courage, then Li Muyun is brave enough to grow outside the body. How can he be covered with courage?

Li Xiaogong's face was also ugly. Looking at the copper coins that Li Muyun kept throwing around, he felt that things seemed to have exceeded his control. If he hadn't wanted to hear what this bastard was going to say next, he would have been in the palace to report to Li Shimin at this time.

But Li Muyun seemed to have no idea about this, and still threw away the copper coins in his hand and said: "Money is a good thing. In addition to buying things, it has many other functions, such as stabilizing the people's hearts and subverting a country."

Li Xiaogong finally couldn't help it, and slapped the table and said, "Li Muyun, what do you want to do?"

"Brother Wang, be careful, listen to me finish my words." Li Muyun glanced at Li Xiaogong, without any nervous expression. After throwing the copper coins to Mu Xin again, he continued: "The Goguryeo people killed the whole family of Old Man Zheng for no reason. Although I don't deal with that old man, this is our family matter after all, and the Goguryeo people cannot interfere, so I must avenge this hatred."

Li Xiaogong said angrily: "What does it have to do with the copper coins if you want to take revenge? I can warn you that it is best not to do anything randomly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

The other old men present didn't say anything. They knew about Zheng Shanguo, and they had a big fight with Li Muyun for this. In the end, although it was proved that it was indeed not the guy's attack, it had something to do with him.

Li Muyun smiled indifferently, walked back to his position, sat cross-legged in a group of old men's contemptuous eyes, slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, which sucked everyone's appetite before saying, "Does anyone know the exchange rate?"

"What? Hui, Hui, Hui?" Li Xiaogong asked in confusion.

Li Muyun explained: "The exchange rate is the exchange rate of money. For example, the copper coins of our Tang Dynasty and the copper coins of Goguryeo are exchanged one to one, so the exchange rate is one to one."

"Oh." Although he was still a little confused about what Li Muyun was talking about, Li Xiaogong nodded.

Lu Zushang still remembered the grudge he had at the beginning, frowned and still asked a little unrighteously: "King Xiaoyao, what do you want to say? What business are you talking about? Is there anything you can't just say, is it interesting to circle around!"

Li Muyun smiled slightly: "Okay, since the head of the Lu family is anxious, then Li said it straight. I hope you can listen carefully. After all, this is a big business. If you get the property done, it will be no problem to increase it by four or five times."

"Four, five times? Li Muyun, do you know what you are talking about? This is not a small number of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan!" Li Xiaogong's eyes turned red when he heard this number, for fear that Li Muyun would not know the importance.

You should know that all the people present are head-level figures of the five surnames and Qi Wang family. The property and wealth of any family exceeds one hundred million coins. If it increases four or five times, it will be tens of millions of coins.

Although Li Muyun had the nickname of the King of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty, it only refers to the speed of his assets' expansion, not to mean that his property and wealth are really greater than those of these old families.

But then again, Li Xiaogong certainly hopes that what Li Muyun said is true. After all, anyone who wants to make money is as long as he has no grudge against money is thinking.

The other heads of the family also turned their attention to Li Muyun and anxiously waited for his answer.

The great mentor Marx taught us: as long as there is appropriate profit, capital will become bold; if it is 50% profit, it dares to take risks; if it is 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; if it is 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, or even risk being hanged.

The same principle applies to the head of this aristocratic family. If the family's property is increased by four or five times, it will definitely exceed 300%. With such huge profits, let alone the little bit of voluntary battles before, they can live without any blame for the hatred of killing their father.

However, Li Muyun kept silent, which made these people nervous again. After all, they had too many property. The combined number of major families was probably not going to exceed tens of millions. If they wanted to increase by four or five times, it would be easier than robbing the treasury.

At the same time, these old men were also a little scared, fearing that Li Muyun would give suggestions such as rebellion, because in their opinion, there seemed to be no way to double the property of their family except rebellion.

After a long time, Li Muyun seemed to have almost thought about it, and finally said, "I think the total of your property should be about 20 million yuan, right? If there is no such number, Li would rather raise pigs at home honestly."

As soon as this said, everyone was speechless. They did know how much family property was, but could they really tell Li Muyun?

However, Li Xiaogong showed a slightly relaxed expression and said with a smile: "Mu Yun, just say anything if you have something to say. I believe that the heads of the family can still get it together for 20 million yuan."

Li Muyun nodded, sat upright, and said in a deep voice: "It's good that way. Since this is the case, I will say ugly things ahead. After things are done, the court needs to draw 20% of the moistness from it. What do you think?"

"We have no objection." The head of the Wang family was the first to express his opinion, followed by the Cui family in Boling, the Li family in Zhaojun... and finally the head of the Lu family, Lu Zushang.

At the beginning, they were still worried about whether Li Muyun would pull them to rebel, but when he heard that the court had to take a commission, he slowly let go of his heart. Because this means that they did not need to risk losing their heads and follow Li Muyun to fight desperately. Although the ratio of 20% of the draw was a bit high, it seemed to be very reasonable compared to the income.

Li Muyun waited quietly for everyone to express his opinion. Seeing that both of them agreed and no one opposed it, he said slowly: "Don't let me withdraw 20% of the profits for the court. If I want to implement this plan, I can't avoid the court or your Majesty, so this money must be spent no matter what."

"Well, I understand." Li Xiaogong was completely relieved at this time and nodded first. Even though the rest of the people were really dissatisfied, they also expressed their support on the surface.

However, Zheng He, the new head of the Zheng family, was a little hesitant. After everyone made a statement, he spoke: "Prince, I wonder if your plan is of great risk? Will you turn all your capital into it?"

"Fill in the capital..." Li Muyun glanced at Zheng He and said, "Any business has risks, but such a large business requires everyone's joint efforts. As long as they cooperate properly, I believe there will be no problem."

"Oh." Zheng He nodded: "What the prince said is."

Seeing that he was still a little worried in his tone, Li Muyun couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Master Zheng, don't worry. Li will tell the plan later and discuss it with everyone. Cheng or Not, I believe that you will have your own judgment at that time. Even if you want to withdraw, Li will never force others to do so."

Seeing that Li Muyun was keeping insincere there, Li Xiaogong finally couldn't help it and picked up the teacup on the table and said, "Oh, I asked you, can you stop keeping it? Just say anything, I'm so anxious."

Li Muyun glanced at the impatient Li Xiaogong, then looked at the other old men with flickering eyes, and smiled and said his plan...
