My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty Chapter 263

At the South River Wharf, Li Yin watched the fleet leave slowly. He didn't ride back until the fleet's figure disappeared from the end of his vision. Speaking of which, Li Yin really wanted to go to Ryukyu for a while, but he was more concerned about going to Ryukyu than going to Ryukyu. It was still Yuan Shoucheng's transport plane. The expedition team had set off for more than a month, and there was still no news, which made him feel a little irritable.

But there is good news. Taiyuan Wang and Cui finally agreed to cooperate with Li Yin, and will soon send people to Yizhou to discuss specific cooperation details with him. At the same time, after Li Yin exposed the news of the discovery of multiple coal mines in Yizhou on the Shengtang Business Daily, the powerful clans in Hedong Road finally blew up their nests, and Li Yuanchang was also in trouble. In the coal mine, once Li Min made up his mind not to import coal from Hedong Road, he could only take his family and servants to eat coal balls.

It was the same Han Palace, and the same businessmen, but the atmosphere of this gathering was very different. Tai was imprisoned by Li Shimin. This was undoubtedly a serious blow to the Tai Party. It is crumbling, and each family has its own thoughts.

"Hanwang Highness, our Zheng family has invested more than 300,000 guan in the coal mine. At the beginning, you swore that you would be able to sell the coal. Now the King of Shu has not only stopped buying coal from Hedong Road, but also in Yizhou. I mine the coal mine myself, and I don't plan to buy coal from here at all. Three hundred thousand guan, this is insignificant to the king of Shu, but it is not a small amount to us. What do you think? At the beginning, you promised that if you lose money, the loss It was compensated by the King of Han Mansion, everyone agrees?"

"Yeah, what should I do? It's not a small sum. Our Lu family also invested half a million yuan, and now we have lost everything. Those small businessmen are now blocking the door of my Lu family, saying that if the coal sells If you don't go out, you will die in front of our Lu's house..."

"That's right, if the commotion becomes a big deal, if the emperor pursues it, we won't be able to afford it..."

Looking at the businessmen in a mess, Li Yuanchang frowned deeply, "Stop arguing, you guys are in a hurry, am I not in a hurry? In terms of investment, my Han Palace has invested the most. I am more in a hurry than you."

Li Yuanchang lost his temper, and the merchants calmed down. After all, he is also the King of Han, and in terms of status, he is much higher than them. Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Yuanchang seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will go to Yizhou to discuss this matter with Li Yin. I am also his uncle. I don't believe it." He doesn't give me any face."

Facing so many creditors, he is also desperate. If these people are pushed, they will sue Li Shimin collectively. If it was revealed that he deliberately raised the coal price and embezzled Li Yin's private property, Li Shimin would definitely peel him off. After all, he is Li Yin's elder. Bullying the younger generation like this is unjustifiable anyway, and he really did not expect that Li Yin would give him such a trick, he really underestimated this nephew.

With Li Yuanchang's promise. The merchants breathed a sigh of relief, and the stinking face just now returned to flattery, "Then this matter depends on His Highness the King of Han, and we really can't afford it." A merchant said.

"However, apart from this matter, we have one more thing to say here. It is said that the Cui family represented by Taiyuan Wang and Cui Shao got a business from the Shu king. I wonder if there is such a thing?" a Zheng The businessman said with obvious jealousy.

Since coming to Hanwang Mansion, the businessman representing the Wang family has been silent, because the king of Shu has already informed the Wang family of the actions to be taken in advance, and also promised that the Wang family will purchase coal at the original price, which made the Wang family Immediately took reassurance, and this kind of kindness also made the Wang family make up their minds to cooperate with Li Yin, who would like to have trouble with money.

"That's right, there is such a thing." Wang's merchants said frankly. There are also merchants representing the Cui family, but he does not represent Cui Shao's group of Cui family forces who have a heart for Li Yin. Therefore, there is only the Wang family here. Received the cooperation of the king of Shu.

"Hmph, your Wang family is really a master at adapting to the wind. The King of Shu gave you a little sweetness, so you went to curry favor and take your original words for nothing." The businessman of the Zheng family continued to sarcastically.

Taking a sip of tea unhurriedly, the businessman of the Wang family was confident, and said: "Hehe, this statement is wrong, our Wang family is only doing business with the king of Shu, and His Majesty said in the early court that the king of Shu had promised It will spread the new things of Yizhou to other places in the Tang Dynasty. Now the king of Shu is planning to do so, but he has not been able to find a suitable partner for cooperation. He is the one who recommended the king of Shu because of the friendship between the minister of the king and His Royal Highness the king of Shu. Cooperating with us, one has the sacred decree, the other has the good intentions of Wang Shilang, and the third has the love of the King of Shu, and our Wang family has to know the good and the bad, otherwise the popularity of new crops will be affected, and the emperor will blame it."

What Wang's businessman said was flawless and high-sounding. "You..." Zheng's businessman turned pale with anger. Wang's businessman glanced at the many merchants, and said again: "And you still expect the King of Shu to sell the backlog of coal in your hands, right? Isn't it too shameless to slander the King of Shu here? If these words are taken by Shu The king listened, how do you let the king of Han go to Yizhou to discuss this matter with the king of Shu?" After finishing speaking, the Wang businessman bowed his hands to Li Yuanchang.

"Okay, stop arguing." Li Yuanchang was also "clicked" by the words of the Wang businessman. Now he has something to ask for Li Yin. If he still holds such an attitude to deal with Li Yin, Li Yuanchang His lawless temper will definitely make him angry. This guy is a person who dared to dispatch troops to beat the emperor privately in Chang'an. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "The words of shopkeeper Wang are also reasonable. In this matter Before the deal is over, we still don't want to offend Li Yin, otherwise we'll be the only ones who suffer, so let's leave it at that, I'm tired, let's go away!"

"Yes, Your Highness the King of Han!" The merchants stood up and walked out, with different expressions. In fact, most of the merchants had the mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying that the grapes were sour when the Wang family got Li Yin's cooperation. Jealousy is at work, but Li Yin's sudden move has indeed caused a lot of shock to them. It is a new type of crop, which symbolizes a steady stream of money!

The news that Li Yuanchang was coming to Yizhou soon spread to Yizhou through Wang's family. Li Yin smiled. It seemed that Li Yuanchang was in a hurry, but the more anxious he was, the less anxious Li Yin was.

"Your Highness, Taoyuan sent some strange things!" Li Yin had just finished reading the news, when Rong Da's voice came over. Hearing this, Li Yin was shocked and said, "Is it something with two wheels?"

Rong Da said: "That's right, Your Highness, there are two wheels, what are they used for?" Rong Da scratched his head, a little hard to understand.

"You will know later, move all those things into the palace." Li Yin said. Rong Da replied yes, trotting towards the gate of the palace, he was also very curious about these new gadgets. Waiting in the garden of the palace, after a while, Rongda came over with dozens of servants. Each of these servants was pushing a bicycle, and their faces were full of surprise.

"Your Highness, these are the things." Rong Da pushed a bicycle out and said. After taking the self-confidence car from Rongda, Li Yin looked it up and down, and looked at a sign behind the bicycle, which said Phoenix, and Li Yin smiled. This Tong Yu really carried out his order faithfully, and gave this The new bicycle is named Phoenix Bicycle.

Li Yin is very satisfied. This bicycle at the level of the 1980s was a real luxury in that era. It would be nice to have a bicycle for marriage and dowry. Now Yizhou may have to maintain its high-end status for a while. How many cars?" Li Yin asked.

"There are thirty bicycles in total." Rong Da turned around and counted.

nodded, more than 30 bicycles were produced in such a short period of time, which shows that the productivity of Taoyuan is still good.

Li Yin pushed the bicycle, got on the bicycle with one leg up, and rode the bicycle slowly along the cobblestone path of the Wangfu, while Rong Da and the others behind him were stunned for a moment. This thing is too amazing, even more powerful than wooden cows and horses . (To be continued..)
