bastard seizes tang

Chapter 311
Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been in business and become very rich, but few of Zemian's descendants can really keep their family business.There are two reasons: one is that the children and grandchildren are extravagant and do not guard the family business;

In the whole world, only those aristocratic families can really keep their wealth and honor for several generations, or even thousands of years.

Zhou Dingfang's family is extremely wealthy, and few people in Huainan can compare with it, but even so, the Zhou family in Huainan can only be regarded as a local tycoon, not in the same breath as the famous family of the Chen family in Guangling.

If you ask the people in Huainan, who is the No. 1 gate in Huainan in their eyes, I am afraid that the Guangling Chen family will be the one that most of the people will come out of, and there will never be an answer like the Zhou family.

There is no other reason. The Guangling Chen family has been passed down in Huainan for a hundred years and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In front of the Guangling Chen family, the Zhou family is not even considered a late star.

The real nobility of aristocratic families has been accumulated for thousands of years. It cannot be achieved overnight. It needs several lives, or even dozens of lives. The Zhou family, which was born as a merchant, has not even really started.

Of course, those who came from merchants and became respected by the world are not without trace. The governor of Jingzhou and the warrior Xun of Ying Guogong are the best examples for Zhou Dingfang. However, it needs great kindness, and the appearance of Li Ke, what Li Ke said to Zhou Dingfang, just gave Zhou Dingfang a chance

Li Ke wants a salt company, but what he wants is not a salt company where everyone is in danger and can't do anything. Li Ke needs someone who can integrate the salt industry into his use in the shortest possible time, and Zhou Dingfang is naturally The best candidate.

Li Ke needs Zhou Dingfang, and Zhou Dingfang needs Li Ke even more. When Zhou Dingfang heard Li Ke's words from Li Ke, he immediately understood the truth.

Zhou Dingfang has been in Huainan for many years, and has seen too many worlds, and it is only a moment before the pros and cons are weighed.

As Li Ke said, Zhou Dingfang's family is rich, and he already has enough money. Even if he returns to the mansion at this time to take care of his old age, it can keep him rich and well-fed for the rest of his life. However, Zhou Dingfang is only forty years old now. However, if he was told to stop here, how could he be willing? Zhou Dingfang is a businessman, and the two faces are in front of his eyes. If he doesn't even understand this account, then his business for so many years will really be in vain.

However, after a moment of consideration, Zhou Ding made a convenient decision. He immediately bowed in front of Li Ke, and said in a loud voice: "Thanks to Your Highness for not giving up, Zhou Dingfang is willing to dedicate all of the southeast salt line to His Highness as his running dog, without leaving any money."

Li Ke took over the Huainan Salt Company and left two points to Zhou Dingfang. This was a bet, and it was more of a deal. Zhou Dingfang kept nothing and devoted himself to Li Ke's sect. This was loyalty and a vassal. How could Zhou Dingfang not know such truth.

The samurai Xun devoted all his family wealth to support Li Yuan, so he is as expensive as he is today, but how is Li Ke different from Li Yuan back then?If the warrior Xun can succeed, so can he Zhou Dingding.

Left and right are nothing but a bigger gamble, and what Zhou Dingfang pays is only [-]% of the salt company's profit.

"Farming is ten times more profitable, doing business is a hundred times more profitable, and those who destroy the country are thousands of times and ten thousand times more profitable." Lu Buwei said that everything is profitable.

Li Ke looked down at Zhou Dingfang, who was worshiping in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Master Zhou, has he thought about it clearly, the salt industry is [-]% profitable, and I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of guan in one load, so just give up, why not?" pity."

Zhou Dingfang had already made up his mind about this matter. Li Kezhi's words fell, and Zhou Dingfang replied immediately: "Since the grass-roots people worshiped His Highness's gate wall, they should worry about the Lord's worries. Don't say it's the [-]% profit of the salt industry, it's His Highness wants Cao Min to give up all his net worth, and Cao Min will not hesitate to do so."

Zhou Dingfang started at the end of the century, and it is no accident that he has achieved what he is today, at least his courage is extraordinary.

Li Ke helped Zhou Dingfang up, and said with a smile: "I am not a bandit, what do you want to do with all your wealth? Since you intend to join my family, I will accept it. In the future, you will serve me, and I will never treat you badly." You, but."

Li Ke said, paused and continued: "However, you are a businessman, and you have been suspected of speculation in your past actions. In the future, you will no longer be a businessman when you do things with the king. You should know that you will stick to it forever. Reasonable, otherwise this king will never forgive you."

Zhou Dingfang stood up, heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, although the door used to be a merchant, but I also know the truth that one product should not be sold to two owners. In the eyes of Caomin, there is only one owner, Your Highness."

----------

"Your Highness, a mere Zhou Dingfang, even if he is the head of the Southeast Salt Company, how can it be worth the effort to be His Highness?" The matter of the Salt Company has been decided, and Wang Xuance asked Li Ke as soon as Wang Xuance followed him out of Yancheng.

Li Ke did not use force to seize salt, it would be unavoidable, and it would be detrimental to reputation; Li Ke made salt to increase salt production and benefit the people, but at that time, people valued businessmen and valued scholars. The same is true for Wang Xuance, and today Li Ke is so courteous Zhou Dingfang, but Wang Xuance did not expect
Although Wang Xuance is Li Ke's confidant, he is not a roundworm in Li Ke's stomach, how can he know what Li Ke is thinking.

Zhou Dingfang has a bad reputation, and he is a person who only seeks profit. Wang Xuance considers himself a scholar, and he doesn't want to see such a bad businessman who is even dishonest in his business, but Li Ke has his own reasons for employing people.

It has been the seventh year of Zhenguan, and the older princes have gradually grown up, and the battle for the throne in Chang'an has gradually surfaced from the water. The peace above the court will not last long. There is not much time left for Li Ke to be so peaceful.

When Li Ke went south, Cen Wenwen told Li Ke to come to the palace in person.Prince Li Chengqian has the support of the Longyou family, and his power is in Guanlong. Li Tai is in charge of Luoyang, and with the help of the Shandong family, he is in the Central Plains. The strength of Jiangnan and Huainan can only be compared.

However, the Southeast Salt Company operates in Huainan and other prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and has a lot of connections with local government officials. Ground chicken and eggs.In this way, the convenience of Zhou Ding, who is lacking in virtue, seems to be quite valuable.It's just that Li Ke didn't want to speak out to Wang Xuance about these words.

Li Ke just said to Wang Xuance: "Didn't Xuance hear that a thousand pieces of gold bought a horse bone? Zhou Dingfang is a merchant, and this king can still value it. What's more, for others, the salt business is just one of them. I want to spread it in the southeast. The network is not limited to this place.”

Li Ke is the king of Chu, and his fief is also in Yangzhou. This is where Li Ke's roots lie, so what Li Ke said makes sense.

When Wang Xuance heard the words, he heard that Li Ke seemed to have the intention of deploying the southeast, so he thought about it, and said to Li Ke: "Since your highness wants to plan for the southeast, why have you forgotten about it?"

Li Ke asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"

Wang Xuance said: "Your Highness's control of the waters in Huainan not only saved the lives of the people in Huainan, but also stabilized the Huai River and the canal, and kept the business of the Cao Gang in Huainan. The leaders of the Cao Gang have long wanted to thank Your Highness in person. Why don't Your Highness see you?"
