My harem can't be this messy

Li Zhi was already walking towards the bamboo forest along the path by the lake, Cui Yan looked at Li Zhi, although his heart was beating slightly, and his breathing was deep and rapid, but he still followed.

"Miss!"

There Ying'er called, Cui Yan turned his head.

"Take good care of the three princesses for me!"

There, Li Zhi had already walked into the bamboo forest, a bluestone path, which looked extremely empty and clean.The bamboo shadows on both sides are whirling and green, and this stone path seems to be a path wrapped in emerald.

Cui Yan quickly walked a few steps and caught up with King Jin. At this time, there was no one around here, only pieces of green bamboos swaying slightly in the spring breeze.

"Cui Yan dares to ask His Highness how he guessed what kind of business I was doing, and guessed so accurately?"

"What's so difficult about it? When I was in the living room, I paid attention to the furnishings in the living room, but most of them were beautiful jade and gemstones from the Western Regions. You took me around the garden, but you passed a wine storage place, ordinary wine and Western Regions. The taste of the wine is not indistinguishable to me.”

"Your Highness only rely on these?"

"Yes or no, the king remembers that the girl planned to sell this place a few years ago. A big girl's family wanted to sell the garden as a dowry. The reasons were nothing more than a few reasons. She lacked money, wanted to get rid of her troubles, or was forced by someone."

"In the end, it was not sold at a high price. It was obviously not forced by anyone. As for worrying, I don't think Miss Cui is like this kind of person, so the girl is for money."

"This king made a bold guess. Since the girl is short of money, you can ask the Cui family for it. The Cui family in Qinghe does not lack it. If the girl didn't ask for it, the relationship between the girl and the family may be broken because of this marriage."

Cui Yan listened to King Jin's words, his footsteps were a little staggered, he took two steps back unconsciously, and stopped after two steps.

"Since the girl was so short of money a few years ago that she wanted to sell the bamboo garden, but looking at some of the furnishings in the bamboo garden at this time, it is not clear that Miss Cui is in short supply. In a few years, she has gone from being short of money to being rich. There are not many ways to do business. It's the quickest one."

"In the past few years, the Western Regions have gradually calmed down. The Turks and Tubo have been surrendered by my Tang Dynasty. The business here has naturally risen. Miss, this west wind is very good."

"Your Highness is truly a genius."

"Miss speaks too seriously, ghosts and gods dare not be, but this king has to think about the girl at this time."

"Your Highness considers me?"

"The girl's business is probably not small at this time. Does the girl think that someone will be eyeing these businesses?"

Cui Yan's expression changed slightly, at this moment, he bit his lips lightly, but he couldn't say a word.

At this moment, he only looked at King Jin quietly, wanting to hear what King Jin would say next.

"I think it's not just one or two that I'm focusing on, but after all, the girl is from the Qinghe Cui family, and the fame of the family with five surnames can still overwhelm some little ghosts and monsters. But how long can the girl and Qinghe Cui's breakup be hidden? ?”

Hearing this sentence, Cui Yan's body trembled involuntarily. At this time, one hand was pressing on her shoulder, that hand was extremely strong, and five fingers were grasping her jade shoulder.In the past, if a man dared to do this, Cui Yan would have been angry long ago, but now, this hand seemed to be a support for her, she just looked at King Jin with a little eagerness in her expression.

"Even if the other party is still afraid of the girl's background, but in the business in the west, if the girl can do it, others can naturally do it. If the west calms down and there are more people doing this business, the business will naturally be difficult to do."

"Cui Yan remembered that His Highness said just now that His Highness is also interested in doing business, and His Highness is short of money."

"Yes, so I want to find a partner for cooperation, a partner that I can absolutely trust. Is the girl interested?"

"Cui Yan, please speak clearly, Your Highness!"

Li Zhi looked at Cui Yan, but he was not in a hurry to say anything. He continued to walk deep into the bamboo forest. Cui Yan followed closely. Just now he followed because of his status as the king of Jin, but now he followed more for his own wealth. Benefit.

Chapter 94 Doing business in the world

What the King of Jin said hit Cui Yan's heart every sentence, which was powerful and detailed.

At least Cui Yan's underestimation of the young prince has long since disappeared, and the prince sees things thoroughly.

At this time, following King Jin's footsteps, he had already reached the end of the bamboo forest path before he knew it.

The white courtyard wall in front isolates the bamboo garden from the outside world, and the prosperity and noise of Chang'an can be faintly heard.

"The business route in the Western Regions can make money, and it's a lot of money, but there are too many people who are eyeing it, and it will only become more and more difficult to do business here in the future. In fact, it can still be done, but the benefits are small."

"Where does Your Highness plan to do business? Jiangnan, Saibei, or the Central Plains."

"Since we are in business, we naturally do business in this world. Is the girl interested?"

Cui Yan stared at King Jin, listening to his faint voice, but suddenly felt that the prince was not simple.

The business of the world was said so casually, and the contemptuous aura in it seemed to make Cui Yan unknowingly feel that King Jin was much taller.

The more casual King Jin said, the more shocking it was when he uttered these words.

"Cui Yan would like to hear His Highness's detailed words!"

Here, Cui Yan has already bowed slightly, but when he said this, he was extremely respectful.

"Girl, I ask you, what are you most afraid of when doing business?"

"Rooters, my goods and money have been robbed several times, and the losses are incalculable. However, in recent years, the west has gradually calmed down, and there are fewer robbers. I am still more afraid of losing my money when I am a merchant, but my goods are still there. Better. Money is much more attractive to robbers than goods."

"Then what if you don't need to bring money with you when you do business?"

"Your Highness was joking, those barbarians don't see money, how can they sell you goods."

"Without money, it doesn't mean that there is no money. This king said that, you deposit a sum of money in Chang'an to a specific place, but you can take out the money from Zhangye or further away with a bill. Do you think this is wrong? Save a lot of trouble?"

"Chang'an saves, Zhangye takes, how is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. As long as you have a receipt, you can pick it up, and it's not just Zhangye. You can pick it up in Suzhou, Hangzhou, or Jiaozhou. As long as the online shop is big enough, youzhou and Qiongzhou can also be covered."

Cui Yan looked at King Jin, and was completely aroused by King Jin's remarks.Just a few words made Cui Yan look forward to the scene that King Jin said. After all, in the past few years of doing business, Cui Yan was extremely troubled by the matter of escorting the money.

In fact, what Li Zhi said was just one of the most common business models in later generations. Banks, which can be called silver houses or money houses in ancient times, probably emerged in the Song Dynasty and prospered in the Ming Dynasty. Shanxi merchants in the late Qing Dynasty were also famous for doing this.

Naturally, it was the early Tang Dynasty at this time, and it was the Zhenguan period. Naturally, Jiaozi had not appeared, and Yinzhuang had not appeared. This field was still blank in the early Tang Dynasty.

Do you know what makes the most money?Using silver to produce silver is called finance in later generations.

Li Zhi was short of money, and the shortage was severe. If he wanted to earn money, the best way was to let money beget money.

"What Your Highness said about doing business in the world is to let others deposit money and get it elsewhere?"

"It's not just that, maybe the bills we give to others can also be used as silver flowers in the future."

This is the bank note.

This business model that is very common in later generations is completely unfamiliar to Cui Yan at this time. She is very interested. Li Zhi looked at her and wanted to find someone to do things for him. Cui Yan was undoubtedly a good choice.

She has proven her ability, she lacks a backer.In this business, you can lack everything, but you can't lack backing, otherwise, no matter how good or big you are, you will be just a lamb to be fattened by others.

Li Zhi can give Cui Yan absolute support, because from the very beginning, he never thought that this business would only be done by himself. He wanted to recruit someone into the team, and the person had already been selected, which was the queen mother.

As long as the queen mother joins in, no one in this world would dare to take this business from him, not even the king of Wei, nor the crown prince.Or he can also recruit a few more people, such as the two imperial sisters of Changle Yuzhang, and his three direct imperial sisters.

The five princesses joined forces, relying on the power of the famous family they married into, coupled with the power of the queen mother and her own prince, no one in this world would dare to steal their own business, even if the prince and Wei Wang wanted to get involved, they would be scolded by the queen mother as a dog Bloody head.

As for letting these two imperial brothers join in, Li Zhi never considered it.But brother, there is only one throne, how can there be a cooperative relationship.

Cui Yan and King Jin naturally had a detailed discussion for a while, and they finally fully understood King Jin's business method of "money begets money", and he praised him greatly in his heart.

This way is good, the key is that the people who are willing to do this have a strong background, and no one dares to provoke them.

The business that is not afraid of being robbed is the best business to do, and the unique business is the most profitable.

At this time Cui Yan looked at King Jin again, but it was already different from the beginning, the initial underestimation completely disappeared, and now he even had some admiration.

"Your Highness, this business can be done, but the money to start operation is really a huge amount."

"It doesn't need to be fully rolled out at the beginning, just operate in several important points, such as Chang'an, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Luoyang, and Suzhou."

"The money expenditure at the beginning is still too large. Although Cui Yan has some small fortune, it is not enough to spend. He needs to build a silver village. Please guard and open up the relationship between various local nodes. I am afraid..."

"With my king here, do we need to get through the relationship between each node?"

"this..."

After all, Cui Yan has adapted to his single-handed way of doing business, looking at King Jin at this time, this is the real prince, if anyone dares to ruin His Highness's business, they are courting death!

"As for the guards, we naturally have to raise a group, but at the beginning, we can also use public funds for private purposes. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has frequent transfers of money and food, so we can help us transport some along the way."

Cui Yan was not a fool, on the contrary, he was extremely shrewd and capable. When the King of Jin clicked this sentence, Cui Yan immediately understood that Tang Shanshi, the second son of Minister of Civil Affairs, married Princess Yuzhang.

If you really want to use this relationship, it will be easier than hiring many guards.Anyone in this world who dares to rob the money and food of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if he robs, is against the Tang court, and what he is facing is the wrath of the Tian family.

"Your Highness said so, but the money needed at the beginning can be much less. But Your Highness, how should the benefits be divided?"

After all, Cui Yan is a businessman, and the distribution of benefits must be understood at this time.

"You get [-]%!"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate. It's all Cui Yan's doing. I only take [-]% of it. I'm afraid it's..."

"This king only takes [-]%!"

"Then there's another [-]%?"

"Thirty percent is naturally given to the current queen, the king's biological mother. Who do you think can force other princes and princesses not to participate in this matter and not to grab this business."

Chapter 95

Cui Yan looked at King Jin, and saw that he was looking at him with a slight smile, the corners of Cui Yan's lips curled up slightly, and so did King Jin.

Both of them are sensible people. King Jin said that he would give [-]% to his mother. In fact, there is another layer of hidden meaning, that is, this [-]% is not only given to Empress Zhangsun, but also Emperor Tang. , which is equivalent to giving Taizong.

These two are famous and model couples in history.

The business of this Yinzhuang will be jointly controlled by the emperor and the empress.

Thirty percent is worth it. With such a big backer, that is, King Jin, there is no way for others to find it with money.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Li Zhi noticed that the smile of the second young lady of the Cui family was indeed much more pleasing to the eye.

She was originally a lady from a famous family, with a first-class appearance and figure, but this smile also had the taste of looking back and smiling.What's more, Tian Meiren was wearing a dark dress at this time. She was always polite at first, but she was also a little more serious. This smile made Li Zhi's expression stunned for a while.

"Your Highness, is there still [-]%?"

Cui Yan opened his mouth lightly, but he did not forget the other [-]% benefits.

"My two imperial sisters naturally have to take [-]% each for management. The remaining [-]% will be distributed to the three princesses of Chengyang, Jinyang, and Hengshan. Although Jinyang and Hengshan are still young among the three princesses, they will naturally I can also help a little bit, what do you think, girl?"

"Your Highness is very calculating!"

Li Zhi looked at Cui Yan, and smiled unconsciously.The little widow still seemed a little angry, and felt that she was only given [-]% less.It's normal to feel too little. No businessman feels that he has earned enough, and if he earns too much, he wants to maximize his own interests. How can there be too much money?

"Don't think that [-]% is less. The key to long-term business stability is that in this world's business, it is not bad for those who really run errands and do business to earn [-]%, let alone a unique business."

Li Zhi said a few words lightly, and then I pointed at the corners of Cui Yan's slightly pursed lips.

The little widow flickered for a moment, and Li Zhi naturally didn't care if King Jin didn't notice it.The corners of her lips are tapped because she thinks the corners of her lips are pretty, and she doesn't let the corners of her lips be kissed by men and women.It really hit the spot, but Li Zhi underestimated Cui Yan.

"Your Highness is right, [-]% is not a lot."

The two of them dodged one by one, but it didn't affect their thoughts at all. Cui Yan knew that His Royal Highness Jin Wang is a romantic person. Strength, but King Jin definitely does not lack these two things.

In fact, Cui Yan had a good impression of King Jin. She was a businessman, and the most important thing was her own interests. As for other things, she took it lightly.But she understands one thing, men don't cherish what they get easily.

Cui Yan smiled, he understands that His Highness's business is very big, if it can really operate, even if the profit is only [-]%, it is far better than the previous business on the western front.

The key is the backer, and King Jin's backer is definitely the only one in the world at this time.Even his own father, queen and queen have been brought here, does Datang have a bigger and stronger backer than this?

Cui Yan, who has independently run the business in Longxi and the Western Regions for several years, actually wants a stable backer most.The stability that can be relied on is much better than being alone and fearful.

"Okay, I won't let you alone pay the initial silver. I will send 100 million taels of silver for your disposal. It just so happens that a batch of silver coins will be transferred to Jiangnan the day after tomorrow."

"100 million taels?"

Cui Yan was startled by King Jin's words. King Jin said that the Ministry of Civil Affairs had money and food to transfer to Jiangnan the day after tomorrow, that is, King Jin sent 100 million taels of silver before the day after tomorrow. Where did His Highness get so much silver?Prince Jin has no money, and everyone in Chang'an knows that.

"Okay, that's it for now!"

"Does Your Highness trust Cui Yan so much? One million taels is not a small amount."

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. What's more, if you follow this king, one million taels will only be a small amount in the future. I believe you are not greedy for such petty gains."

But Li Zhi only said this lightly, turned around sassyly, and walked along the way he came from.

"When will Your Highness want this bamboo garden?"

"I changed my mind, you continue to live here, I just add a few more people here. You put them in a secluded place, but you must open a separate door, otherwise it will disturb you."

"Cui Yan must take good care of His Highness, and will not disappoint His Highness. From now on, Cui Yan will be His Highness's man."

Li Zhi's walking pace faltered for a moment, but only for a moment, and then he continued to walk towards the place where the three royal sisters were.

What does this little widow mean? Cui Yan will be His Highness's man in the future, is it superficial?

Li Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head slightly.How can it be so easy to find a woman who cleverly avoids her just to touch the corner of her lips.
