Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 242 Mutual Cooperation
Chapter 238

Wei Hao is sitting there at the moment, looking at the three brothers, this is about to start.

"Don't bother me, I don't want to make money now, I have money, and I'm not short of money!" Wei Hao sat there, waved his hands and said, leaning there and not wanting to move.

"It's not that I don't have a brother-in-law, who would dislike having a lot of money?" Li Ke was shocked by Wei Hao's words.

"I'm busy now. Do you know how many things I have to do this year? To make money? My mansion has not been built yet, and I have to take care of the library and school. Catch me for iron,

I don't have time to earn this small amount of money. Besides, I am not short of money now. There are tens of thousands of acres of land at home, and my father manages it alone. Planting cotton is a serious matter, don't bother me with money matters! "Wei Hao sat there, continued to wave his hands and said,

The two of them looked at Wei Hao.

"Well, there are indeed a lot of things to do. Maybe the father will ask him to do something. Let him finish his work!" Li Chengqian sat there, helping Wei Hao to speak.

"Then you lend me money. I know that there are tens of thousands of coins in the East Palace. If you don't borrow it, I'll talk to Father!" Li Tai stared at Li Chengqian and said.

"You!" Li Chengqian is so angry. He just got some money back, and they knew about it, and they dared to threaten him. The point is, this threat is very powerful. If Li Shimin knows about this money, it is very likely will be taken back.

"Brother, lend me some too. I don't want too much, just 5000 coins!" Li Ke said, looking at Li Chengqian with a smile.

"You, you!" Li Chengqian was very depressed, 5000 is not much money?
"I also have 5000 coins. If it's okay, I won't say anything!" Li Tai also looked at Li Chengqian with a smile and said,
Li Chengqian was thinking in his heart at this moment, when he went back, he must find out who leaked the news, how long did it take, he hadn't spent the money so much, and they were thinking about it, and they wanted so much money, I definitely can't give it to myself!

Wei Hao was leaning there, pretending to be dozing off, thinking in his heart that there was nothing wrong with it, but Li Tai's change surprised Wei Hao a little. Now Li Tai seems to be a little more active than before. Before that, he was a Dumb gourd, who doesn't talk much, now dares to threaten Li Chengqian, and even dares to be a rascal, this is something Wei Hao did not expect.

Li Chengqian looked at Wei Hao at this moment and found that Wei Hao was dozing off. He immediately said to the two of them, "I don't have any money. Besides, there is a rich man here. You don't ask him to borrow money, but you come to ask Gu for money?"

The two of them looked at Wei Hao when they heard it.

"Fuck, what do you mean? Do you want me to expose you?" When Wei Hao heard this, he wanted to burn himself on fire. Can he bear it?
"Brother-in-law, I really don't mean that." Li Chengqian immediately bowed his hands to Wei Hao, and kept looking at him.

"You really don't want to come to me to talk about this matter. I really don't have time. I'll talk about it when I have time. As for your borrowing money, well, I can't control it. You can ask Lizhi. Now my money is either in Lizhi's side, or my father's side, I have no money at all!" Wei Hao looked at the two of them and said, and the two of them turned their heads to look at Li Chengqian.

"I'm not alone, really, don't listen to people's nonsense!" Li Chengqian also looked at the two of them and shouted, thinking that today they were fooled by the two of them. Sit at the house, go whenever you want, there is nothing wrong anyway.He had thought that the two of them were plotting against him.

"I'll go and tell my father!" Li Tai sat there and said very relaxedly.

"How dare you!" Li Chengqian stared at Li Tai fiercely and said.

"Why don't I dare, I don't have any money anyway!" Li Tai spread his hands, threatening Li Chengqian and said, Li Chengqian wanted to punish him at this moment, it was so irritating.

"Brother, my younger brother is really poor. You also know that the roads in Bashu are very difficult. If you don't bring money, your younger brother can't do anything there. Please ask your elder brother for help." , if you ask my father, my father will probably scold me again." Li Ke immediately said to Li Chengqian, and there was also a threatening meaning in his words.

"Oh, I really don't have one!" Li Chengqian said with a sigh. He definitely couldn't admit this matter, and he couldn't let them get away with it. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to keep the money he earned in the future, and it wasn't enough for them to threaten him.
Li Chengqian had nothing to do with the two of them, so he looked at Wei Hao as if asking for help, hoping that Wei Hao could help,
Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian helplessly, thinking in his heart, why did you drag yourself into the matter between you brothers.

"Don't you think that Wei Hao's money is borrowed and earned alone?" Li Chengqian then pretended to suddenly think of this, and asked,
When Wei Hao heard this, he stared at Li Chengqian fiercely, and Li Chengqian secretly winked at Wei Hao.

"Borrowing money, who are you cheating? There are at least tens of thousands of money in the East Palace warehouse!" Li Tai didn't believe it at all.

"Really, you ask your brother-in-law!" Li Chengqian immediately said to Li Tai, while looking at Wei Hao with pleading eyes.

"Just remember it, can you stop arguing, what money are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? Can you talk about other things, if you really can't, you can also play cards. I haven't played mahjong for a while!" Wei Hao looked After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he said that he wanted to play cards with them,
When Li Chengqian heard this, he felt relieved a lot. After all, Wei Hao took over this matter.

"Brother-in-law, you, why did you borrow so much from him?" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao depressedly and said.

"What about the profit of one penny? If you lend him 1 guan, in winter, you need to pay me back 5000 guan! How much do you want?" Wei Hao looked at Li Tai and asked.

"Is this so expensive?" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao in surprise and asked.

"Is it still expensive? Do you want it? If you don't want it, just play cards!" Wei Hao looked at Li Tai and asked.

"I. I'd better forget it. Brother-in-law, you have to help me. I'm poor now. If you have any good business, you need to think of me!" Li Tai looked at Wei Hao and said,

Wei Hao nodded, then Wei Hao called them to play cards,

In the evening, I had dinner at Wei Hao's mansion,

After Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, his face was ashen. Who leaked the money about his East Palace must be clear. Li Chengqian suspected that his East Palace might have been arranged by Li Tai and the others. Work carefully, otherwise, the East Palace will not be safe in the future, and I can't hide anything from myself.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Su Mei asked immediately when she saw Li Chengqian's livid face.

"Check it out for Gu Gu. During this time, who knows how much money we have in the warehouse, and who has been out recently. Now, Qingque actually knows that our East Palace has tens of thousands of dollars. You need to check it out for Gu Gu. Even if it is suspected, they will be expelled from the East Palace!" Li Chengqian looked at Su Mei and said.

"Ah, there is such a thing, okay, Your Highness, the concubine knows!" Su Mei was a little surprised when she heard it, then looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, how did you get this money?"

"Don't worry about how you got it, this must be earned back, not robbed, it's just this money, you can't let Father and the others know, once they know, they will definitely take it back, so now, it can only be like this,
From now on, in the treasury, you will find someone you trust to deposit and withdraw, and no extra people are allowed to see it. In addition, the money in the future cannot be stored in baskets, but in cloth bags! " Li Chengqian explained to Su Mei.

"Yes, I know!" Su Mei nodded and said.

"They actually placed someone in Dongwai, it seems that they are lonely and miscalculated!" Li Chengqian sat there and said, fortunately Li Tai said this today, otherwise, he really didn't know,

After Li Tai returned to his palace, he immediately summoned several Hu merchants.

"Are you sure, His Highness the Crown Prince used the money to go to the grassland through selling things? Then why, His Highness the Crown Prince said that he borrowed it from Wei Hao?" Li Tai stared at those Hu merchants and asked.

"His Royal Highness, it's true. This matter is definitely not false. His Royal Highness secretly took the goods to the grassland, but he robbed us of a lot of business. Those people relied on their good relationship with His Royal Highness, and they were able to pass quickly. Those city gates can send goods to the grassland at the fastest speed,
Your Highness, here's the profit.But it's very high. We estimate that His Royal Highness will have a profit of at least 2 guan during this trip. Of course, a part of it may be distributed! "One of the Hu merchants stood there and said respectfully.

"Then what do you mean?" Li Tai still looked at them suspiciously.

"What we mean is that now, His Royal Highness, you are the governor of many places, and you control those places remotely. We thought, can we also let us send the goods there quickly? In this case, we will give you 2000 yuan per trip, which is great ?” The Hu businessman looked at Li Tai carefully and said.

"2000 coins, isn't it a little less, the prince can form a caravan to make money, so the king can't?" Li Tai looked at them coldly and asked.

"Well, His Royal Highness, selling things to the grassland requires a high cost, and the risk is also very high. There is no guarantee that you will make money every time!" Another Hu merchant looked at Li Tai and said.

"But it's a profit of tens of thousands of dollars at a time. Isn't that how the money from His Royal Highness's treasury came from? Alright, you guys go back, I will get it myself!" Li Tai waved his hand at them and said. .

"Your Highness, this, or you join the group, and you will get 1000% of the profits in the future, but now you need to invest some money, at least [-] yuan!" One of the Hu merchants thought about it and said.

"Oh, 1000 coins is enough, how much profit can it bring back?" Li Tai asked with a smile when he heard it.

"Well, a trip of 1000 yuan can bring a profit of 1000 yuan. Of course, the main reason is that we have a small fleet and can't get good goods. If we can get paper and ceramics, then the profit will be at least three to five times. !" The businessman said to Li Tai.

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll take care of it, but what I don't understand is, how can the prince have a profit of tens of thousands of dollars?" Li Tai still stared at them and asked.

"Well, they are all good things, and His Royal Highness probably spent a lot of money, but, His Royal Highness, it is risky to do this, and we don't want you to take too many risks!" The Hu businessman Continue to talk to Li Tai.

"There is no problem with paper and porcelain. This king will give out 2000 guan, and you will also give this much. I will take 1%. If it goes well, I will bring more than [-] guan in profit every time!" Li Ty sat there, staring at them and talking.

"Well, there is actually another way, your Highness, you don't have to pay a penny, and you can get at least [-] yuan each time, and you don't have to bear the risk!" One of the businessmen smiled at Li Tai Said.

"What way?" Li Tai was very interested when he heard it, but now he has no money.

"The Cui family has always wanted to cooperate with you, Your Highness, Qinghe Cui family. They want to use your influence to quickly ship goods. Of course, they also need you to get the goods. The Cui family, every time they ship goods to the grassland. Over there, they are all worth at least 1 guan, if they are done well, they can bring back [-] to [-] guan, of course, this needs your help!" The Hu merchant looked at Li Tai and said.

"Oh, the Cui family, hey, the Cui family has no money, right? They need to pay a lot of money this time, so you are a businessman of the Cui family?" Li Tai smiled and looked at the Hu Shang said.

"Actually, we all are!" said the Hu merchant looking at Li Tai, and now Li Tai was staring at them.

"His Royal Highness, our Cui family is very optimistic about you. After all, you are so smart. If you want, a representative of our Cui family will visit your house at noon tomorrow!" The Hu businessman continued to stare at Li Tai,

Li Tai still looked at him suspiciously. Of course he was happy that the Cui family took a fancy to him, but he was not stupid, and he couldn't be attracted by them for no reason.However, Li Tai still smiled, and said to them: "Okay, come and sit in my palace, of course I welcome you!"

"Yes, thank you, His Royal Highness, please forgive me, it's not that you didn't tell the truth before, the main reason is that we don't know whether you are interested in this matter, His Royal Highness, and now His Royal Highness has already done it first, I believe, His Royal Highness the King of Yue can also try it!" The Hu businessman looked at Li Tai and said,

Li Tai nodded, and then those Hu merchants left,
But Li Tai sat there thinking about whether this matter can be done, and why Wei Hao lied to himself, saying that he lent the money to the prince. Why is Wei Hao still hugging himself?

"It is estimated that the two of them are in a partnership. It must be like this. Otherwise, my elder brother would definitely not have thought of this place!" Li Tai sat there analyzing, thinking in his heart that both of them have a share in this matter.

The next morning, a person knocked on the door of Cui's house. It was a small official from the Ministry of Rites, saying that he was going to visit Li Tai.

When Li Tai saw that his surname was Cui, he thought of what happened last night, so he let him in. After arriving in the study, Cui Kui, the son of the Cui family, said to Li Tai, "Your Highness, this time I am serving the Cui family." It is the order of the Patriarch to talk to His Highness. If His Highness is willing, the Cui family will secretly support His Highness in the future. In court, our Cui family’s children will definitely support His Highness! Of course, our Cui family also needs His Highness’s convenience."

"Well, it's about Hu Shang?" Li Tai stared at Cui Kui and asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, in fact, the main thing is shipping. Paper and porcelain are not easy to get, and salt is even more difficult to get. According to what we know, the prince's Hu merchant team can get these three things. Among them, their second batch of caravans had already set off years ago, bringing about 3000 catties of fine salt, 2 pieces of porcelain, and about 10 sheets of paper. Just these, the profit would exceed 4 yuan, and There are other goods, Your Highness, I wonder if you can get so much?" Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and asked.

"So much? Can salt go out to the grassland?" Li Tai looked at Cui Kui in shock and asked.

"No, but His Highness's team can do it, so His Highness needs to greet those defenders along the way!" Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and said,

Li Tai was in trouble when he heard it. He was not familiar with the army. He didn't know that the reason why Li Chengqian was able to get out was Li Shimin's greeting. The purpose was not to make money, but to collect information. This time, it was just A lot of information was sent back, and Li Shimin also appreciated it. Even Hu Shang drew some simple maps of the grassland, which have been handed over to the Ministry of War for investigation.

"Where are the paper and porcelain, can they be produced?" Li Tai continued to ask.

"Yes, for paper, you can't sell so much at one time, otherwise it will be checked. There is no limit for porcelain, but salt can't be sold! But I heard that it can be sold, but the soldiers at the border will have to pay for it! " Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and said.

"Oh, this matter shouldn't be a big problem!" Li Tai thought about it, and said, he and Hou Junji's son are very familiar, and he is also at the border now, all he needs is a letter and some money from him, so it's probably not a big problem .

"Your Highness, let's buy the salt by ourselves. This can be bought, and the paper is easy to sell. The key is porcelain. This porcelain is very easy to sell. Every time it comes out of the kiln, it needs to be robbed, and the person who manages the porcelain is Princess Changle. Your Highness, therefore, it is better to ask for your help." Cui Kui said to Li Tai again.

"Don't worry about this, I have no problem, my sister loves me!" Li Tai waved his hand immediately and said, he has this confidence, although he is afraid of this sister, but this sister is really good to him, Li Tai is also in his heart very clear.

"Well, then, what else does Your Highness want to ask?" Cui Kui looked at Li Tai and asked,

Li Tai stared at him, and then said: "I can't tell you, I want to see your patriarch!"
