Chapter 962 961 [Know your true heart]

"I have a question in my mind."

When Deng Zai took the order and hurried away, Liu Xian did not immediately inquire about Pei Yue's plan. Instead, he changed the subject with a sincere expression, as if he was not curious about the second prince's situation next.

I just don't know if he can really neither be happy with things nor sad with himself, or if he has absolute trust in Pei Yue's ability.

No matter which possibility it is, it is enough to show that this eldest prince has changed greatly compared to before.

Pei Yue stood up to help the other party add tea, and said with a gentle face: "Excuse me, Your Highness."

Liu Xian bowed to express his thanks, and then said carefully: "The day before yesterday, you sold the eighty-five branches of Xiangyun Hao, leaving you with less than 40% of the number of branches. But because the Shouyang Mountain Mine is always in your hands, there is no need to

I am worried that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest. But Qinyuan in Kyoto is different. If the shares you sold are acquired by the same person, when he owns more shares than you, won't this No. 1 garden in Kyoto be in trouble?

host?"

Pei Yue looked at the eldest prince quietly, the surprise in his eyes unmistakable.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xian said a little unconfidently: "I'm just talking casually, don't laugh at anything inappropriate."

"His Highness is becoming more and more fierce." Pei Yue smiled slightly and said calmly: "Does Your Highness know how many shares I sold today?"

Pei Yue stopped, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, don't look at me like this, it will make me misjudge myself. In fact, I don't have any grand thoughts, I just feel that I have power and capital now.

, I dare not expect to manage the world and benefit the people, but I can at least do something practical."

Liu Xian stared at him blankly, with thoughts in his mind. After a long time, he sighed: "No wonder...no wonder my father regards you as a subordinate, and I am not as good as you."

A memory appeared in Pei Yue's mind.

These words are so straightforward and extremely sincere, as if the warm spring breeze in March is blowing on your face, making people feel close to you.

Liu Xian nodded slightly, with hope in his eyes, and asked: "How on earth can we achieve this?"

Most of the time there are only a few crosses.

Liu Xian smiled bitterly and said, "You really can't say enough."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to show off in front of you. To be honest, I thought about this when I was planning to build the Xiangyun Hao and Qinyuan, so I had no intention of staying in Kyoto."

To establish a huge force, after all, I have never had any thoughts of rebellion, so why bother arousing suspicion and constant criticism?"

Pei Yue couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Highness, this question is too difficult. Countless sages for thousands of years have spent their entire lives unable to find the answer. How can someone like me who has not read a few books answer you? My idea is actually very

Simple, let Xiangyun try it first in Lingzhou, and at the same time spread it in the southern border, sell some goods needed by the people at low prices, and assist the court when necessary."

Last summer, not long after he entered Qinzhou with his envoy and Beiwei camp, he received news from Tang Linfen just after leaving Zhangde Mansion. Just the night before, thirty-seven people starved to death in that city.

Pei Yue suppressed his thoughts and said slowly: "Your Highness, to be fair, the court has done its best. Both your Majesty and most of the ministers in the court are trying to find ways to make the people live a better life. I am deeply favored by the emperor.

, there are also some among the people

I have a bad reputation, so I want to do something for those people. I am not afraid of His Highness’s ridicule. I often have a childish thought, that is, after finally coming to this world, I can’t just think about making money.

My wife and children are on the hot bed.”

Liu Xian has never left Kyoto, so naturally he has never seen the real human world.

He shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I am now the head coach of the Beijing camp. What do I do all day long thinking about prying into other people's secrets?"

During the coldest winter every year, his bedroom was still as warm as spring, and he never had the opportunity to go to the streets and alleys of Kyoto to see the poor people and what kind of life they lived. But he had read many history books.

I remember that in addition to the colorful pages about emperors, generals and ministers, there are always a few descriptions about all living beings in the corners.

Liu Xian picked up the tea cup and shook his head.

Famine, flood, drought, war.

Liu Xian said softly: "Just like what you did in Qinzhou last year, you sold grain at low prices without seeking profits, successfully defeated those grain merchants who were hoarding food, and allowed countless people in Qinzhou to survive."

It wasn't that he couldn't let go of his arrogance and asked, but after these years of contact, he already knew that Pei Yue had an extremely tough mind. If he didn't want to tell the whole story, he wouldn't get the real answer even if he begged.

"It's just the truth." Pei Yue took a sip of tea and continued: "I just want to use them in exchange for enough capital to open Xiangyun all over Daliang Prefecture. On the one hand, it can leave some foundation for future generations. On the other hand,

Just try to do something practical, at least try to avoid the tragic situation after the severe drought in Qinzhou and other places last year."

When Pei Yue said these words, he had no guilt in his heart.

Pei Yue said quietly: "Your Highness, do you know what it is like for a person to starve to death?"

Liu Xian's expression gradually became serious.

Liu Xian quickly figured out the key here, and couldn't help but said in slight shock: "In other words, you only have 20% of the shares in your hands now? Are you not afraid of the situation I speculated before? Pei Yue, this Qinyuan is yours

The purpose of its existence is not only to make money, but also to give you a very convenient news channel in the city."

Liu Xian was in awe and nodded solemnly.

However, this time Pei Yue did not show off, with a warm smile in his eyes: "Your Highness, the reason why I want to hold the Shouyang Mountain Mine firmly in my hands is because briquettes have become a necessity for the people of Kyoto.

At least in recent years

, I don’t trust to hand it over to others. The situation of Qinyuan is different. Its existence or disappearance will not affect the lives of the people. At most, it is just a piece of talk after dinner. Whether it is in my hands or in the hands of others,

What’s the difference?”

He looked at the calm-looking Pei Yue across from him, and through the clear eyes of this young powerful man, for some reason he gradually felt ashamed.

Qinyuan's equity structure theory is certainly not as complex as Pei Yue's company in his previous life. Before he came back from the southern border, he owned half of the shares, the palace held half, and Gu Zhen, Pei Ning, Shen Danmo and others collectively held eight.

Ten shares, and the remaining 37% of the shares were sold.

Pei Yue looked carefully and saw that the concern in his eyes did not seem to be fake, so he smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If there comes a day when I can only go to His Highness to borrow some money, Your Highness will not be able to turn me away."

outside."

But when Liu Xian thought about it now, he felt like a huge boulder was weighing on his heart, and he felt like he had difficulty breathing.

Liu Xian felt itchy and unbearable. This guy looked confident, but he refused to tell the whole truth.

A very important reason why the Xiangyun Hao jumped out of Kyoto to spread the world is to penetrate into all aspects of the beam, creating a tough giant net from point to surface, giving Pei Yue more weight to fight against the imperial power. Perhaps in the near future, Xi The master will train five thousand elite soldiers for him, or maybe on a sunny afternoon, the killing weapon he saw and heard in his previous life will truly come to this old and young world.

Pei Yue then elaborated: "A few years ago, those noble houses were bewitched by Liu Fei or the second prince and wanted to sell their shares. I took them all back in accordance with the articles of association. In short, from then on I We own a total of 63% of the shares of Kyoto Qinyuan, and the shares on the shelves today are 43%, or 430 shares."

Even so, this does not conflict with what Pei Yue said.

He greatly respected the pioneer named Lin Qingyuan, and also admired the strange woman named Chen Qingchen.

He could understand the reason why Mr. Xi was disheartened and retired to the world of mortals, and he also understood the reason why Silent Cloud endured humiliation and took the overall situation into account.

But he didn't want to walk the same path they had walked.
