Chapter 367 Do what you say!

After the negotiations, everyone was happy. After the banquet, Li Mu visited the residence prepared by Li Xiaogong for Li Chongyi's godson. It turned out to be a separate courtyard next to the martial arts court, which seemed to be an independent mansion, halls, warehouses, etc. There were four maids, six servants, and more than a dozen guards to serve him. The show was no worse than the original Zhulu Marquis Mansion.

Li Mu completely relieved and told Li Chongyi to be filial to his charity, so he said goodbye to Li Xiaogong.

When he entered the Hejian County Prince's Mansion, he brought a cart of gold and silver utensils, which looked quite large, but in fact it was only worth more than 2,000 guan. He prepared some pocket money for Li Chongyi or gave it to others as a gift. Li Xiaogong didn't ask for any of them, and piled them in the warehouse in Li Chongyi's own courtyard.

When Li Mu left, he also took away a truck of gold and silver. These gold and silver were not vessels, but pieces of "gold bricks and silver bricks", all in the same format, and were packed in sealed wooden boxes. It looked like something ordinary. When Li Mu asked, he found out that these gold and silver were all retrieved from the mansion of the rebel kings in Jiangnan when Li Xiaogong was in charge of Jiangnan. After returning to Chang'an, Li Yuan and Li Shimin and his son kept all the money in his hands without asking him for it.

Li Mu didn't ask much, but seeing that he had no effort to take out 70,000 guan of gold and silver, he probably had to have 600,000 guan to be so generous.

The treasury cannot even take out such a large sum of cash. It is no exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival a country. Li Mu felt itchy. If so much money was in his hands, why do you need so many rogue methods to make people criticized when doing things?

But there was no way. Li Shimin was so poor that he didn't touch the money, so he could only think about it.

Before leaving this morning, Li Mu asked Dugu Jiu to do something and notified all major merchants who had business dealings with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hold a meeting in the Ministry of Industry in the afternoon. Similar meetings have been held several times. The merchants are also familiar with the process and basically designated a dedicated person to be responsible. As long as Li Mu gives news, there is basically no one who dares to absent.

All involved are big business orders, and absent means giving money to others. People with official positions will naturally not appear here. They are all in charge of each family, or young children of the clan, who serve as representatives of this conference. Now each family has gradually figured out Li Mu's personality and knows that he doesn't like dealing with old guys, and is promoting the younger generation.

The appointment time was three minutes later, and everyone arrived before the time was right, waiting in the conference room. Li Mu had not come for a long time, so they talked about what happened in Chang'an City in the past two days. The topic naturally could not avoid the conflict between Li Mu and Yin Hongzhi.

Yin Hongzhi has a wide range of friends, and many of them know him and know his background. When he first heard that Li Mu fought with King Yan and Yin Hongzhi, he thought it would be a battle and was waiting to watch the fun. Unexpectedly, the news that followed was that Li Mu cut Yin Hongzhi's ears and made King Yan recognize Prince Yin as his father and went to Gaoyangyuan to stay in filial piety for three months. Before the news could be confirmed, it was reported that Li Mu went to Pingkangfang to smash Yin Hongzhi's Chunfeng Tower and blocked the Prince of Hejian.

What kind of person is the Prince of Hejian? Everyone thought that Li Mu must be about to fall into trouble this time. Unexpectedly, he was saved by danger again. They didn't know the details, but this morning, everyone received the news that Li Mu brought a heavy gift to the Prince of Hejian's Mansion. All of them had given this gift. Isn't it a big deal to make a small matter?

Everyone was so angry that their teeth were itchy, but they had to admire it. In other words, Li Mu, if someone had experienced these two days of things, they would have to peel off even if they didn't die. There would definitely be no other person like him who would be in danger of death.

How to say this thing, it is called luck, it is also luck. It is called strength, that is strength. It is rumored that after Li Mu was taken to the palace by the Prince of Hejian, His Majesty once quickly went to rescue him. If it were someone else, would Your Majesty pay attention to it? This is the Holy Family, the Holy Family, which is strength.

Just as everyone was whispering, Li Mu pushed the door and came in. It seemed as if someone had pressed the mute, and the huge conference room was silent in an instant.

Li Mu walked towards the main seat and took a seat, glanced at everyone, and said, "I'm really sorry, I drank two more cups of wine in Hejian County Prince's Mansion at noon. I discussed business with the County Prince again. When it was delayed, it was too late. I'm sorry for you to wait for a long time!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked. Zhulu Hou really had some means to turn danger into a barrage, and he could still start a business with the Prince of Hejian. How could ordinary people do it?

After hearing Li Mu's sorry, everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "The Marquis is busy with affairs, so it's time for us to wait a while. Now there is no Marquis, and the Marquis is really hard..."

The flattery words were endless. After listening for a while, Li Mu raised his hand and pressed him down, saying, "Okay, let's stop praising me, let's hurry up and talk about the serious business."

Everyone sat down again, Li Mu raised his hand, and Wei Yingluo next to him took a booklet. The Ministry of Works was busy these days, and Li Mu was too lazy to organize the information, so he asked Wei Yingluo to work as his secretary part-time. The family didn't know about this, and Li Mu didn't come forward to say it, otherwise even if Bai Qiaoqiao didn't say anything, Li Zhien would have to have a fight. The little girl seemed to be soaked in a jealous jar, and she would be jealous of everything. Wei Yingluo was the key target. If she knew that Wei Yingluo was promoted to secretary, she would be able to throw Feng Qiuhuang's business away and snatch the secretary's position.

The booklet in Li Mu's hand was compiled by Wei Yingluo herself. It was all things that Li Mu said casually. She recorded them one by one, which was considered a memorandum. Otherwise, there would be too many things and it would be easy to fall behind. Some of them were marked, indicating that they were finished. If there were no marks, they were not finished yet. Li Mu looked through the booklet, returned the booklet to Wei Yingluo, and said, "Today, there are three main things. Whoever has the intention can tell you can directly tell me, and you can talk about it now."

"The first thing is that in a few months, it will be the time for spring plowing. I believe everyone knows my brother Li Siwen. Now he has a lot of fields around Dingxiang, and needs a few grains to be planted. Who can provide them, the price will be better."

Someone asked, "I wonder how much the marquis needs?"

"Ten thousand hectares of grain."

This man was an expert. When he heard the number, he began to calculate: "A hectares of land require 15 kilograms of grain, and 10 kilograms of grain is 150,000 kilograms of grain. One kilogram, ten kilograms of grain, ten kilograms, a total of 1,500 kilograms. The current price of grain in Chang'an City is 350 kilograms per buoy. The grain needs to be carefully selected, and the best grain is not less than 500 kilograms per buoy. A total of 15,000 kilograms and 7,500 kilograms. If the Marquis takes all the goods at the Zheng Family Grain Store, I can make the decision, wipe them off in a fraction of them, and prepare them for the Marquis. It is just that the freight is transported, and the Marquis needs to take care of themselves."

When talking about business, Li Mu asked him to speak business without distinction between superiority and inferiority. Therefore, this grain merchant did not flatter him when he spoke.

Li Mu nodded, not commenting.

Another person stood up and said, "Mr. Marquis, the account has just been calculated by the shopkeeper Zheng, so I won't say more. Zhao's grain store, with the same quality of grain, is also 7,000 stakes, and is responsible for freight. If it cannot be delivered as agreed, I am willing to bear the losses."

Li Mu nodded again. He knew the background of the Zhao family's grain store. The Zhao family's grain store had a deep relationship with the Zhao county Li family. The Zhao county's Li family operated a carriage and horse business, which was spread all over the world. He dared to take care of freight, so he must rely on the channels of the Zhao county's Li family.

The foundation of Zheng's Grain Store is in Shandong, and it is already quite a bit of a pick-up fee to transport it to Chang'an. If you send it to Dingxiang, the capital is not enough, so you will definitely not be able to hold on. Manager Zheng sighed sadly and said, "Forget it, Zheng's Grain Store withdrew. Congratulations to Manager Zhao for getting another order."

"Thank you, Brother Zheng, for giving in. Didn't Brother Zheng also take down the order for tribute rice the day before yesterday? Everyone is not doing business alone."

There was a lot of excitement in the words, because the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs purchased tribute rice, and the Zheng family's grain bank took the lead, and the Zhao family's grain bank was defeated, so the two companies were a little inconsistent. However, today the Zhao family's grain bank won a championship, which was a draw.

Seeing that no one argued again, Li Mu made a decision and said, "Then I will hand over this order to Zhao's grain store. The same thing, when doing business, you should pay attention to a real thing and a lot of money for you. But if there is a problem with the things, especially things such as grain that are related to people's livelihood, don't blame me for being rude."

Manager Zhao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, marquis, we know the rules. If something goes wrong, the small person will be given to him and the Zhao family's grain store will immediately get out of Chang'an City!"

Li Mu said to Wei Yingluo next to him: "Remember it to him and make a contract later."

Wei Yingluo nodded and recorded the matters in the booklet.

"The second thing involves medicinal materials." Li Mu said, taking out a list from his arms and put it on the table, saying, "Before Doctor Sun traveled, he left his beloved disciple Dr. Liu Shenwei in Chang'an and entrusted me to set up a clinic. Everyone must have received the news that I quit the mansion and set up this clinic. Now a batch of medicinal materials are missing, and here is the list. Whoever does the medicinal materials business can take a look. In addition, after the clinic is opened, there are still medicines treated by Doctor Sun's secret recipes that need to be sold in all directions. Those who are interested can also register. Choose a date to discuss the price in the clinic and together with Doctor Liu."

Everyone spoke enthusiastically, some who provided medicinal materials and some who were interested in selling finished medicines, and Wei Yingluo also recorded them one by one.

"The third thing is my own private matter." Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "You are all big merchants in Chang'an City, with a wide connection. I don't know who has the industry of Pingkangfang, preferably near Chunfenglou. I want to buy it. If the cash is not enough, it's okay to replace it with the part of the horse farm. The shares of Datang Mining and Datang Salt Industry are also available, which is convenient for the seller."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

They all know that Li Mu has 20% of the horse farm in Cheng Yaojin, and holds 20% of the shares of Datang Salt Industry and 10% of the shares of Datang Mining. These three are all golden rice bowls that are worth a thousand gold. What's wrong with the old hen who can lay golden eggs? He is crazy and wants to replace the industry in Pingkangfang.

What is Pingkangfang?

Everyone suddenly had a strange expression. Could it be that Zhulu Hou wanted to open a brothel?
