Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 603 The way to make money, exchanging money for money

After pacifying Liangzhou, Chen Qingzhi wrote a letter to Lu Bu, asking him to send officials to Liangzhou to take office.

Accompanying the letter were Ma Teng and his son, Liang Shitai and Hu Luguang.

Although Ma Teng is not smart, he is not stupid either. Now that he has decided to take effect, he will quietly ask Lu Bu to give him a house to take care of him, and don't feel uncomfortable staying in Liangzhou.

Anyway, the Ma family has Ma Chao, the unicorn, as long as Lu Bu does not fall, then the Ma family will not fall.

This time Lu Bu sent troops into Liangzhou, and it can be said to have gained a lot.

Lu Bu not only got Liangzhou, but also got the votes of the Ma family and his son, as well as the votes of Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er, plus Cao Cao's claw Huang Feidian.

Not too much food, grass and supplies were seized. After all, Xiliang is a barren land, and its equipment is relatively backward. The reason why Xiliang's soldiers can stand tall and famous all over the world is not because of their excellent equipment, but because of their sturdy folk customs. Bring fear of death.

As the saying goes: "The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of death."

As long as you dare to risk your life, those who dare not risk your life will fear you, and over time, the reputation of Xiliang's fierce soldier will be established.

……

Youzhou, Ji County.

Lu Bu was sitting in front of the table, tapping the table rhythmically with his thick fingers.

Mi Zhu, who was sitting under Lu Bu, was very careful, only half of his butt was sticking to the stool.

"Dropped by half again?" Lu Bu asked.

"My lord, it's true. Now that wars are happening everywhere, many people can't even eat, let alone go to Chongxiaolou to drink and eat food." Mi Zhu replied cautiously.

"What are you afraid of? Can I still eat you? I didn't say to blame you." Seeing Mi Zhu's gesture, Lu Bu laughed.

"Thank you, my lord!" Mi Zhu hurriedly thanked.

"The family doesn't talk about two families, and there are Zhen'er and Wan'er here. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, how can I be harsh on you?" Lu Bu said to Mi Zhu.

Cao Shaoqin, who was waiting on the side, looked up at the roof and put on a look of "you talk, I can't hear anything".

"Okay, you go down now, call He Shen, I have something to tell him." After chatting for a while, Lu Bu issued an order to expel Mi Zhu.

"This subordinate resigns!" Mi Zhu cupped his hands and left.

Looking at Mi Zhu's leaving figure, Lu Bu slightly shook his head.

Although Mi Zhu has a lot of business acumen, he is too mature and always puts stability first. There are some things that Lu Bu cannot entrust to him.

He Shen is different, he is much more courageous than Mi Zhu, and he has countless ways to make money, these are the advantages that Mi Zhu does not have.

Now that it is in the lean season, coupled with the continuous wars in various places, the business of restaurants, wine sales, and sugar sales has been affected to a certain extent. The cornucopias of Lu Bu have lost their former glory, and their turnover and sales have continued to decline.

Although the rate of decline was not large, it was not an option to keep going down like this, so Lu Bu had to think of a way.

Lu Bu raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and war horses, and the daily consumption of horses and chews was an astronomical figure.

Don't look at the fact that the soldiers are all determined to serve Lu Bu now. If one day Lu Bu can't pay the army, then not many of these soldiers will stay to serve Lu Bu. This is a very realistic thing.

Since the recent income is not good, then you have to think of other ways to make money.

All roads lead to Rome, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and the living will never be suffocated to death by urine.

Therefore, Lu Bu focused his attention on He Shen. Anyway, there is still a lot of spare money in the treasury, so he can just ask He Shen to invest it.

When it comes to the way of making money with wealth, He Shen said that no one dares to be the number one.

Where did Heshen's wealth come from?Searching for people's fat and people's ointment?

Don't be silly, if He Shen dared to collect money like this, how could Qianlong let him live so long?

With He Shen's head, he wouldn't do such low-level things.

As for embezzling the state treasury and enriching his own pockets, He Shen would not do it. This is much more serious than searching for the people's fat and people's anointing.

Heshen's way of making money can actually be described in six words, that is, "misappropriating royal property".

Qianlong knew Heshen's ability, so he turned a blind eye to it. As long as no one reported it, he would not ask about this matter.

Taking a step back, even if a minister reported it, Qianlong would only make a statement, simply scolding Heshen a few words, and asking Heshen to pay some fines would be fine, and he would not really do anything to Heshen.

Where can Qianlong find such an easy-to-use royal cash machine?
In fact, just misappropriating royal property will not make Heshen rich as an enemy. The key is that Heshen understands business opportunities very well.

How much money is in the treasury?We don't know this, and we dare not ask.

But with the national strength of the Qianlong period, there must be a lot of money in it.

What did He Shen do with the money?
In modern terms, Heshen took the royal money and invested the money in whatever project he saw would make money.

In addition, He Shen also offered some kind of loan to KUAN. As for the interest rate, it must not be low anyway.

Don't worry about the issue of repudiation. With He Shen's status, there are very few people who dare to repudiate him.

Besides, behind Heshen stood a giant Buddha like Qianlong. If anyone dared to renege on his debt, he would be hanged by the god of longevity.

It is true that Heshen embezzled the royal family's property, but he was born to do business, and he made money in everything he did.

Originally, the base of the royal property was large, and the money He Shen made with it was not as simple as one plus one equals two.

After making money, Heshen, who had a delicate mind, first made up the money embezzled from the treasury, and then divided the money earned into [-] or [-], part of which was given to Qianlong, and the rest went into Heshen's pocket. .

Of course, it was Qianlong who was superior in the end, allowing Heshen to earn decades of money for the Qing Dynasty in vain, and all of it went into his son's pocket in the end.

Poor He Shen worked hard all his life, but didn't spend much money. It must be extremely uncomfortable to guard the money and dare not spend it!
Since you have a talent like He Shen under your command, don't let him idle, and make money for yourself!Lu Bu thought so.

Although Lu Bu is quite rich and will not be short of money in the short term, who would think too much of money? !
How does it work?

In fact, it’s easy to say, let’s use an analogy: Lu Bu wants to build a road, and the cost of this project is 500 million, but Lu Bu will only give He Shen 300 million.

How about the rest?Then Heshen had to figure out a way by himself. Lu Bu didn't care what method he used, but Heshen must guarantee the quality and quantity, and deliver the work on time or even in advance!
As for whether the law was violated, as long as He Shen did not go too far in this matter, Lu Bu could turn a blind eye to it.

While letting others make money for you, you still ask them to abide by the law?
Wouldn't that be a typical example of being a BIAO and setting up an archway?
Lu Bu couldn't do such a brazen thing.

　The second watch arrives!
