"Thirty percent!"
Merton roared. According to his idea, how can so much money be enough! How come it''s only 30% in Gao Shilian''s mouth.
Gao Shilian felt empty in his heart, but his face did not change at all. He said, "if it was just disaster relief, it would be seven or eight, but you and I jointly wrote to the court to ask for work as relief. So, the cost of disaster relief immediately increased several times."
Merton couldn''t help himself. Unexpectedly, he lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot. In order to sell horses, he directly increased the difficulty of his task several times.
"The imperial court has no choice. The people in the seven counties of Shandong have destroyed their homes, no food and clothing, and are displaced..." Gao Shilian said with a heavy face:
Merton waved his hand, covered his face and said sadly and angrily, "needless to say, I understand!"
Merton took a deep breath and left proudly. He thought he would go back to Chang''an city soon, but I''m afraid he can''t go back in a short time.
So I''m afraid his next plan will be greatly changed.
Watching Merton rush out of the imperial palace again, Gao Shilian couldn''t help but exclaim that he was just young!
"Don''t blame those black hearted guys in the imperial court. If you want to blame them, blame your boy for doing so well." Gao Shilian sighed. Merton is very different from the descendants of Guanlong family.
Moreover, Merton''s work is really beautiful. Since it is conducive to the livelihood of the people, he turns his hand over the clouds and waves his hand over the rain. A large amount of money has been sent to Chang''an City, which is beyond the expectation of the whole court. How can the poor and afraid court let Merton go of this ready-made money tree.
Even Li Shimin sent a message to force Merton''s bottom line.
"Thirty percent, and seventy percent!"
Merton is walking on the streets of Lanzhou city. He doesn''t show any chips. Now all the horses, cattle and sheep have been sold out. Where can he prepare so much money.
"Those who come stop!" as tie an shouted, many Mohist children gathered around Merton.
Now that the war is over, Xue Rengui has long led the igniter supervisor to leave Lanzhou and return to Chang''an city. The guards around Merton are naturally replaced by Mohist children.
When Merton looked intently, it turned out that it was shopkeeper Li and LV Dongjia who wanted to lower the price. They were flattering and smiling at Tie''an, and waved to Merton awkwardly.
"Let them come!" Merton motioned, and tiean let them go.
"Why are you two still here?" Merton asked angrily. The livestock have been sold out. It''s reasonable to say that they should go. Why are they still here.
Shopkeeper Li and LV Dongjia looked at each other, smiled awkwardly and said, "I don''t know if mohou can still get livestock. I want to order another batch."
Merton couldn''t help turning his eyes and said, "it''s good that so many livestock were sold out. Instead, you came to the door."
Shopkeeper Li smiled and said, "at that time, I couldn''t open the capital turnover. I really didn''t have any money left!"
Lu Dongjia nodded and laughed.
Merton said leisurely, "now your capital turnover is open? Don''t you make less!"
Shopkeeper Li couldn''t help looking happy and said, "that''s not the blessing of Lord Tuomo. I''ll have this chance to make a fortune."
"I heard that the price of mutton in Chang''an City has risen again?" Merton sneered at Lu Dongjia.
Lu Dongjia suddenly looked bitter. They looked at the large number of sheep in Merton''s hands and united to lower the price. Unfortunately, Merton found a way to buy sheep and land to attract a large number of Guanlong people to come to Shanzhou for gold. As a result, the sheep were sold out.
With the disappearance of sheep, the meat price of Datang rose again. Many sheep traders regretted that the price given by Merton was the lowest in the whole industry. They reluctantly missed the opportunity to make a fortune, so they had to have the cheek to come back to Merton.
"The villains teach others how to do things, which makes mohou laugh." Lu Dongjia said with a bitter smile.
In the business circles of Chang''an City, Merton led the Mojia village to build such a big name in a short time. How can it be a false name? LV Dongjia is just a small sheep merchant. After seeing Merton''s means, LV Dongjia can only be ashamed of himself.
"We know that Lord mohou has a big pattern. A little small business naturally doesn''t want to trouble him. This time, not only do I wait for sheep merchants to come, but also cattle merchants and horse merchants mean the same."
"Mohou''s means are too clever. Once the three horizontal and five vertical plans are drawn, those foot traders are almost crazy, and how many horses are sold out." shopkeeper Li smacked his tongue. Foot traders refer to those merchants who pull goods. The repair of brick roads is too important for these foot traders, and the demand for cattle and horses immediately surged.
Merton was interested, nodded and said, "you wait for them to collect and report the number. If the quantity is large, Ben hou can''t do it again."
"That''s the price!" Lu Dongjia asked carefully.
Merton waved his big hand and said, "the price is the same as before! But Ben Hou works for the imperial court. If you dare to play tricks again, don''t blame Ben Hou for being rude."
"No, no!" Lu Dongjia and shopkeeper Li looked happy and shook their heads.
Driven by interests, the efficiency of businessmen made everyone ashamed. In less than three days, a large pile of thick orders were placed in front of Merton and Gao Shilian.
"So much?" Gao Shilian couldn''t help breathing.
He really underestimated the power of businessmen. All businessmen knew that this opportunity was rare. When they conquered the East Turks, Datang almost didn''t get much benefits. However, Datang made a lot of profits in the battle of Tuyuhun. Coupled with the flood in Shandong, this gave businessmen a chance to make money. If they missed this opportunity, they might regret for life, So one by one, they give orders as much as possible to strive for livestock sold at a low price. Even if they can''t sell them temporarily, they can make a lot of money in the future.
"Hoo!"
Merton also breathed heavily. With so many orders, except for the small demand for sheep, the number of cattle and horses is almost the same as that of livestock before.
"This is a big business! We can''t accept the ink sacrifice!" Gao Shilian asked, but he had already been excited. Now the house and price have been settled. As long as we can get cattle and sheep, we can get the money immediately.
Merton said without hesitation, "take it, of course!"
Now the imperial court is in need of money. How can he let such a big business come to the door.
"But Tuyuhun has turned in 30% of the spoils. If it is collected again, I''m afraid it will damage the prestige of the imperial court!" Gao Shilian frowned.
Merton said with a confident smile: "the reputation of the imperial court is first. Naturally, we can''t collect Tuyuhun''s cattle and sheep, but the boy is confident that the tribes in Qinghai can hand over their cattle and sheep by themselves."
Gao Shilian looked at Merton in surprise and asked, "is there another good plan for ink sacrifice?"
Merton laughed and said, "before, we sold sheep to pasture. This time, we can do the opposite and sell pasture to earn cattle and sheep."
"Sell pasture? Where do we have pasture?" Gao Shilian suddenly felt a fog.
Merton pointed to the direction of Qinghai and said in a loud voice, "in the battle of Tuyuhun, many tribes in Qinghai declined, leaving a large number of excellent pastures. If Datang doesn''t intervene, these excellent pastures will only be occupied by powerful tribes on the grassland. In that case, it''s better to give play to the waste heat in the hands of Datang."
"You mean to let Datang take charge of the ownership of these pastures!" Gao Shilian said in his heart.
"Good!" Merton nodded heavily.
