Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 877 Establishing the Datang Royal Commercial Alliance
Chapter [-] Establishment of Datang Royal Business Alliance

The clan is actually the most realistic people in the world.As the clan, they are not qualified to compete for the supreme position, but it absolutely does not prevent them from relying on whoever is most beneficial to them.

Among the entire clan, the only person who has a good impression of Qin Wang Li Shimin is Huaian Wang Li Shentong.Because Prince Li Jiancheng was too threatening to him, and regarded him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.As early as the first year of Wude, Xue Rengao attacked Jingyang, while Wang Shichong sent troops to attack Tongguan. Huaian Wang Li Shentong, who had three thousand defenders in his hands, fled without a fight and lost the east gate of Datang.

Li Jiancheng was very angry, and ordered Li Yuan to deprive him of his title, demote him to be a commoner, and never hire him.At that time, Li Yuan could not accept Li Jiancheng's petition, so he had to put Li Shentong in prison for a period of time, until Li Mi returned to Li Yuan, and the Tang Dynasty turned the corner.Therefore, he volunteered and asked for an order to appease Hebei and Shandong.

However, in the third year of Wude, with the loss of Xiangzhou and the fall of Shandong, Li Jiancheng once again demanded to punish Li Shentong, which made Li Shentong completely fall to Li Shimin.However, in this time and space, Huai'an Wang Li Shentong failed to stand in line and was uneasy.

You must know that in the East Palace Night Banquet and the Xuanwumen Incident, there are all shadows of Li Shentong. If it weren't for Li Shentong, Li Shimin would not even be able to enter Xuanwumen, because Liu Hongji, the general of the left guard, was persuaded by Li Shentong. To Li Shimin.When Li Shentong received the news that Li Jiancheng was hosting a banquet in the East Palace, Li Shentong was terrified.

However, now that Li Shimin has been defeated, he has no one to rely on.People in the clan are actually not fools. Although Li Yuan still lives in the Ganlu Hall, what Li Shimin did the most is to kill all the soldiers guarding the left guard. Now the soldiers guarding the palace are all Li Jiancheng's people. .

It was replaced by Li Anyan. Although Li Anyan's official position is not high, he is only a fourth rank.And he hasn't got a good record yet, but he denies it, he is quite loyal to Li Shimin's Lei Yongji.

Who knew that this night banquet held by Li Jiancheng would not be a good one, but none of the princes of the clan would dare not sell Li Jiancheng's face. After all, Li Jiancheng now holds the absolute power of the Tang Dynasty, and the only difference is his name.

Li Shentong has come, he dare not not come.

Of course, Li Shentong is a smart man. He used practical actions to show his loyalty to Li Jiancheng, so he took all his belongings, including more than 100 shops, thousands of fertile land, and more than [-] banknotes, to Li Jiancheng. Heavy ceremony.

Li Shentong made this opening, and the other kings were reluctant to do nothing. After all, Li Shentong's reasons were too strong. Li Shimin's subordinate Hou Junji and Lei Yongji attacked the East Palace, causing damage to the buildings and furnishings of the East Palace. Li Shentong paid for it. Repaired by Li Jiancheng.

Li Xiaogong, Prince of Zhaojun, didn't like Li Shimin. Of course, when Li Xiaogong quelled the Jianghuai Army Rebellion, Li Shimin was behind him. Can not but express.

Li Shentong took out [-] guan, and he also took out [-] guan.Of course, compared to [-] guan, [-] guan is very little. The key is that Li Xiaogong does not have Li Shentong to make money. Part of his money is rewarded by Li Yuan, and part is captured on the battlefield.

Four thousand guan also made Li Xiaogong's heart ache.

Rencheng King Li Daozong also took out 17 guan, and the others quickly expressed their opinions. The gift money received by Donggong led the government order to rise from [-] guan to [-] guan. Of course, Li Jiancheng can receive so much money. Because Datang Tongli Bank, money tickets are really convenient.

After Li Jiancheng exchanged polite words with all the kings, the banquet began with wine and food.

Originally, Chen Ying should come forward at this time, but after entering the palace, Chen Ying never came back, which made Li Jiancheng wonder what to do?Li Jiancheng just kept silent and didn't get into the topic. The more so, the more uneasy the clan kings became.

……

Li Xiuning found out that there was something wrong with Li Yuan's head, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and played a few rounds of mahjong with Li Yuan, when Li Yuan relaxed and fell asleep slowly.

Li Xiuning looked at Pei Ji and said, "Pei Sikong, what's the matter, Father? Did you ask the imperial doctor for treatment?"

Pei Ji smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, this is a brain disease. Dozens of imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have consulted, and even Divine Doctor Sun is helpless!"

Li Xiuning hurriedly looked at Chen Ying.

Chen Ying shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I can't help it either. The human brain is too complicated. If Daoist Sun can't heal well, I'm afraid there will be no other way in this world."

Li Xiuning looked dejected.

Chen Ying stepped forward and patted Li Xiuning on the shoulder and said: "Isn't this the best? Your Majesty has worked hard for half his life, and now he can finally enjoy the blessings. The crown prince handles the state affairs, and there are six ministers of the country. Your Majesty can be in the deep palace." , enjoy whatever you want!"

Chen Ying turned to look at Pei Ji and said, "Pei Xiang, do you think so?"

Pei Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "What Chen Concubine said is absolutely true!"

Li Xiuning saw that it was getting late, she said to Chen Ying: "Chen Lang, let's go back, let's not go back to Qinglin today, we are in Chang'an!"

"No!" Li Yuan, who was in his sleep, suddenly woke up, got up from the bed barefoot, ran to Li Xiuning, and said in a godlike voice: "Sanniang, you are not in Chang'an, go back to Weizeguan immediately, and take He Panren under your command. , Qiu Shili, Bai Shansi, Ma Sanbao and the others were transferred back and led an army of [-] women to rescue me."

When it came to the end, Li Yuan was actually a little apprehensive.

Li Xiuning sighed and said, "Father, don't worry. My son will leave the customs right now!"

Li Yuan suddenly ran to the bed again, groping in the dark space in front of the bed, suddenly he grabbed a soldier talisman, handed it to Li Xiuning, and murmured: "San Niang, here is the soldier talisman, you must bring the soldiers back , Dad can only count on you now!"

Hearing this, Pei Ji's eyes turned red instantly.

Li Xiuning and Chen Ying left the Tai Chi Palace, Li Yuan stood upright and watched, until Li Xiuning disappeared, Li Yuan slowly came back to his senses.

Li Yuan's eyes met Pei Ji's in the air, which was very meaningful.

……

By the time Chen Ying sent Li Xiuning to Fanglin Garden in Furong Garden, and then returned to the East Palace, the kings of the East Palace were already drunk.

When Chen Ying arrived, Li Jiancheng was visibly relieved.

Li Jiancheng rushed to meet him, complaining slightly, "Why did you come here!"

Chen Ying had no choice but to tell Li Jiancheng about Li Yuan's accident.

Li Jiancheng said in astonishment: "What's going on? I went to visit my father yesterday, and he looked as usual?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "This... I don't know, but it's a good thing, isn't it!"

Li Jiancheng smiled wryly.

When Chen Ying arrived, the gazes of all the feudal lords met in the air, and they immediately understood that it was time to play meat.

As expected, Chen Ying held up his wine glass and said, "Today I borrow flowers to present Buddha! Toast to all kings!"

Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, said with a smile: "Drinking together wins!"

"Drink wins!" The crowd was also refreshed, and simply got rid of the wine in their hands.

"Actually, there is something I want to discuss with you!" Chen Ying said to discuss, but his tone did not mean any discussion. Chen Ying even gave Yu Chigong and Ashina Simo a wink. Shina Simo, dressed all over his body, walked into the Xiande Hall with a weapon in his hand, and stood at the door like a gate god.

Yu Chigong and Ashina Simo's expressions made all the vassals a little uneasy.

Chen Ying went on to laugh and said: "The country is unstable without agriculture, strong without industry, and rich without merchants! Therefore, merchants and merchants are also important matters for the country, and we must not slack off! However, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been endless wars and the treasury is empty. Life is very poor, if you want to make a fortune, why not cooperate with us!"

Who doesn't know the good name of Chen Yingshan Cai Boy?

It can be said that Chen should be able to sell stones for gold prices.

Li Xiaogong said anxiously: "Cooperation, how to cooperate?"

Li Shentong also said: "What rules?"

"It's very simple! Learn from each other's strengths!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Everyone should have heard that Chen Ying has a little experience in financial management, not that Chen Ying is bragging. When it comes to making money, there are not many people in the world who are better than me. You admit it ?”

The princes nodded.

Li Jiancheng was even more puzzled. He was clearly discussing how to support Li Jiancheng's ascension to the throne. How did he get here and become a business cooperation?

Li Jiancheng is not Chen Ying. Chen Ying's two lives are very clear, and the relationship is the most solid?

In fact, it is not a husband and wife, not a father and son, but a cooperative relationship.There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. As long as everyone in the clan and vassals are united, Li Jiancheng can not only gain their support and allow Li Jiancheng to ascend the throne, but also expand externally through Li Tang's clan.

Li Xiaogong pondered and asked, "I don't know what advice Chen Consort has?"

In fact, Li Xiaogong's meaning is also the common meaning of everyone present.

Chen Ying smiled lightly and said: "It's very simple, we will cooperate to form an alliance to jointly develop the Western Regions, you are responsible for providing manpower and start-up funds, and I will take you to make a fortune!
"Actually, I can't explain these things clearly. What I mean is that we have established a business alliance. Here is a cooperation contract. You can take a look!" As he spoke, Chen Ying waved his hand, and twenty or thirty court ladies entered. At the banquet, all the twenty or thirty court ladies were well-dressed, and each of them had an exquisite tray in their hands. However, instead of wine and dishes, the trays were filled with stacks of rice paper!
The people present were all human beings. They all knew that Li Jiancheng wanted to cut off a piece of flesh from them, and Li Jiancheng wanted to slaughter them like fat sheep, but they all had reasons that they couldn't refuse.

Because they opened the paper and said "Datang Royal Business Alliance Cooperation Contract."

Of course, the contract stated justice and light. It was originally intended to prosper the market and promote commercial activities. Now the establishment of the Datang Royal Commercial Alliance is being drafted.

There are not so many rules in the Tang Dynasty. The vassal king can not only be an official, lead the army to fight, but of course it is not impossible to do business.In fact, all the vassal kings present here have special people in their families who are responsible for the operation of the business.

Li Xiaogong opened the agreement and saw the first clause in the agreement, Party A is responsible for delivering the goods to Party B and providing full escort to ensure that the goods reach the destination safely!In case of loss of goods other than weather and environment losses on the way, Party B shall be responsible for the loss of goods.Other losses, such as losses caused by robbery and looting on the way, will be compensated by Party A at three times the market value! "

Li Xiaogong couldn't help thinking.

In ordinary times, the transportation of commercial goods was mainly used for the food of men and civilian husbands on the road, which is actually not too much.The key is that the Tang Dynasty was just established, from Liu Shishan's rebellion and Fu Gongyou's rebellion, although some of the 30 troops in Hebei and Jianghuai were wiped out, some surrendered, and a small part fell into bandits, they occupied the main traffic routes. Blocking roads and robbing, doing business without money.

Not to mention that the business name under Li Xiaogong's name has been robbed many times.Although the strength of the guards can be increased, the key guards need to eat and drink, and they have to pay for the settling fee. They have to go to Jiankang from Jinyang. In this way, it will take about 4000 days for a truckload of goods, and the freight price is more than [-] yuan, that is to say , Transporting a wolf skin worth [-] yuan from Jinyang to Jiangnan, even if it is sold for [-] yuan, it is nothing.

Surprising shipping costs are not the most unbearable for merchants. Now bandits are everywhere, and there are countless robbers who occupy the mountain as kings. They cannot be safely transported to their destinations.Now the losses caused by robbers and robbers are unbearable for merchants.Last year alone, Li Xiaogong lost about tens of thousands of goods.

Then I looked at the second clause, "Party A is responsible for commercial intelligence, urgently needed goods, types, prices, etc. in various places. Party A promises that within ten days at most, the prices of goods from all over the world will be delivered in a fast manner. "

Obtaining this information in ten days is undoubtedly like a snail crawling for future generations.However, in this era, such timely news is simply amazing.In addition to the theoretical eight hundred miles of fast riding, there is no way to do this.The so-called fast ride of eight hundred miles is actually a theoretical number.It's pretty good to be able to do five or six hundred miles, and you need to change horses along the way.

In fact, Chen Ying also had selfish thoughts on this point.At the beginning, he planned to set up an intelligence network based on Hou Mochen's fierce tiger righteousness, but Chen Ying was in a lot of pain because of the information transmission.The cost of setting up a dense message channel is too high.

Now, Chen Ying wants to unite the clans of the Tang Dynasty to form a huge network, and he intends to use the nature of this business alliance as a cover for his intelligence agency.In this way, wherever the business alliance's business routes go, his intelligence opportunities can spread all over the world!
Article [-], Datang University of Technology will provide technical support for the services promised by Chen Ying, such as steelmaking, machinery manufacturing, including agricultural production, seed selection, breeding, and technical support in various aspects.

The fourth is credit. Chen Ying not only dared to provide loan services to the feudal lords present, but was also responsible for debt collection.Bad debts and dead debts that they cannot collect.Chen Ying is responsible for getting them back, and according to the degree of difficulty, a commission of [-]% to [-]% will be drawn.

……

There are a total of more than [-] clauses in total,
The last one is that Chen Ying promises to provide them with the most professional services. He can provide people who are proficient in law to help them draft the contract, and he can also dispatch the most professional accounting office to help them calculate the accounts.

Looking at these things in detail, all the feudal lords present were moved. You must know that every point of Chen Ying hit their vital point.

Li Xiaogong got up and bowed to Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness, business is talking about business, and now our Datang Royal Business Intelligence Alliance, how should we form an alliance and how to divide the benefits?"

"Brothers will settle accounts!" Chen Ying stood up and said, "There are two ways of thinking, and it depends on how you choose. The first is a long-term cooperation contract!"

Then Chen Ying asked for a second cooperation agreement.This specifically stipulates that alliance members pay a certain amount of money to Li Jiancheng.

The clan of the Tang Dynasty included not only vassal kings, but also dukes, dukes and so on.

Based on [-] guan, they are bronze members. They need to pay an annual fee of [-] guan, and pay [-]% of the transaction amount to the business alliance. Yes, as a silver member, the annual fee needs to be [-] guan, and the transaction amount is [-]%.

More than [-] guan and less than [-] guan are gold members, the annual fee is [-] guan, and the membership fee is [-]% of the transaction amount!

The highest level is Diamond level.It requires more than [-] guan of family property, and an annual fee of [-] guan.The transaction commission rate is [-]%.

In fact, the so-called Datang Royal Business Alliance is just a super shopping mall in later generations, and all their members are just settled merchants.

The point is, in this era, no one has played this trick.

Chen Ying also made a fresh move, eating all over the world, and put all the vassal kings in it.

After this alliance is established, unless all the vassals want to change their appearance and set up another central government, they will not dare to leave the organization at all.

PS: Two more nine thousand three.
