99. Recruiting bad people
"What are you asking?"
Li Lizhi showed a vigilant look.
She had long experienced Luo Datou's strong thinking.
"I'll ask, how much land do officials in the court have now?" Luo Taisui said leisurely.
Li Lizhi pondered for a moment: "At least thousands of acres, and at most tens of thousands of acres."
Of course, this does not include the land owned by the family behind them for generations.
"How much grain can that acre of land produce?" Luo Taisui asked again.
How could Li Lizhi know about this?
"It can produce about one stone of grain." Luo Taisui was just asking and answering himself, "One stone of grain is about one hundred and twenty kilograms, and a few thousand acres of land are hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain!
Can the family eat these hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain?"
Li Lizhi has no idea about these data.
But Pei Xingjian knew.
So he shook his head, and was tragically ruthlessly litchi with Li Lizhi's eyes.
Yanshi, who was standing beside him, was originally hostile to Li Lizhi. When he saw this scene, he unconsciously moved closer to Pei Xingjian.
This is something that everyone has not expected.
Including Yanshi himself.
At this time, Luo Taisui continued to talk.
"What should I do if I can't eat it? Put it in the warehouse. Can't I put it in the warehouse?
Only sell.
Some officials sell to grain merchants, while some officials simply open a grain store to sell it themselves, or open a wine shop to make wine...
Is this called not competing for profit with the people?”
“…”
Li Lizhi was speechless.
"So, how can you deceive the king?"
Luo Taisui sneered: "You really think that you don't know these things today, but so what can you do?
You can't watch the grain mold and rot in the official's warehouse. Feed the mice?
Since this is the case, it is better to sell it to the people.
You know, the food the people harvest every year is only enough to make a living... Once the harvest is not good, the whole family will still have to go hungry."
"Bigou is right."
Pei Xingjian was born in the Pei family in Hedong and had thousands of acres of fertile land. The various branches here are naturally clear.
"In fact, it's not just grain shops, restaurants, silk, usury and other industries, there are shadows of officials behind many industries." Luo Taisui didn't say it, but he couldn't stop talking.
"So, the people who are truly rich these days have never been merchants, but officials, and the aristocratic races they represent."
Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed, and then said, "If you don't talk about these officials, let's talk about being a good person today."
Pei Xingjian was originally convinced of Luo Taisui's words and nodded repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, this guy changed his mind and suddenly turned to Dangji. He caught off guard and almost knocked his head on the table.
"What's wrong with me today?" Li Lizhi widened her eyes, thinking why she was touching her father again.
"He is doing business, otherwise what do you think the Shaofu is doing?" Luo Taisui said bluntly.
Pei Xingjian was about to drink a sip of wine and was shocked when he heard this and sprayed it out.
Yanshi next to him also showed horrified eyes.
I can't figure out whether these three people don't know whether they have any life or death or have other support, and they dare to argue with the emperor!
Li Lizhi calmed down instead.
Not to mention anything else, this winery is a private property purchased by the father's father using the Shaofu.
Others, of course, some.
"What you know about the money of the government government, and the salt and iron businesses are all controlled by the court. Who will be the ultimate profiteer?" Luo Taisui asked.
Of course, no one dared to answer him.
"So, when Zi and the court took the lead in doing business today, it is no wonder that the officials are following suit."
Luo Taisui shook his head and said, "What are the children of the ministers who open a restaurant?"
If it really doesn't work, they can also use the Imperial City Department as an excuse.
I mean that my main purpose is not to make a profit, but to collect information. Isn’t this more legitimate?”
Now even Li Lizhi couldn't help but nod.
"I will make suggestions to Princess Changle through Wang Xiaojie. As long as she agrees, with her appeal, the children of the ministers will be willing to contribute money and work to open a restaurant."
Luo Taisui raised his lips and smiled: "Once the restaurant opens, it will naturally require a lot of alcohol, so our chance to 'beauty' will come."
After all, he was the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, and he could use his position to promote the beauty to these nobles and children.
Just get half of the order.
As long as he opens up sales, he believes that with the quality of beauty, he can definitely crush other wines.
"Will she... agree with Princess Changle?" Pei Xingjian was stunned when he heard this.
"I will agree." Luo Taisui said confidently: "After all, collecting intelligence is the best development direction for the Imperial City Department that I can think of.
Once the intelligence network structure is completed, you can also absorb bad people and enrich your strength."
"Bad person?!"
Li Lizhi and the other two were almost driven crazy by his wild thinking.
Yanshi felt particularly profound.
Unexpectedly, this person also means to recruit bad people.
She knows the bad guys very well.
Should we use this to avenge the bad guys’ revenge?
Her heart began to rejuvenate...
"Bad guy... I've heard of it, it's a very mysterious gang." Li Lizhi asked tentatively: "What do you have to do to conquer them?"
No! They must not be allowed to reach cooperation! Yanshi is a little anxious.
If the bad person joins the Imperial City Department, she may have no hope of revenge.
"Let's recruit peripheral members of the bad guys first. These people have a good time to steal chickens and dogs, which can make up for the shortcomings of the Imperial City Division."
Luo Taisui pondered slightly and said, ""
Chapter completed!
