Chapter 607 The First Businessman
Eh, Zhenzang was willing to please Gu Liubai and said flatteringly, "Lord Green Eyes, we have carefully checked this batch of copper coins. The imitation level is extremely high and it is not obvious on the surface, but after cutting it with a sharp blade, it can be seen inside."
Gu Liubai didn't say anything, and moved his left hand slightly, and the copper coin he squeezed with his right hand had already been divided into two pieces.
"this?"
The eyes of these Tubo people became more and more awe-inspiring. There were so many of them, but none of them could see clearly how Gu Liubai cut this copper coin.
Gu Liubai looked at the copper coins that were cut in half, and indeed, he praised it well. There was a layer of black inside the core of the privately cast coins, which looked like a layer of lead.
E Zhenxiu said, "Lord Green Eyes, this private money is very good. It also uses copper. Although it only uses a little, it looks similar outside, especially the batch of military commander Ye used some slurry to make it old. When it was really used, no one could tell it was fake. Although what we gave them were all the real treasures we brought from Tubo, all of them were pearls, gold, and gems, except for the things they promised us, they should give a lot of copper. In fact, if he hadn't told us in advance that this was a private coin, we wouldn't have known it was fake."
Gu Liubai nodded and asked, "How many such private minting have you changed?"
Eh, Zhenxiu said without saying a word, "I changed 100,000 yuan and gave us 60,000 yuan first, and 40,000 yuan said that it would be given in half a year."
On Tuesday, Niu stuck out his tongue when he heard it.
His family only had about twenty kens of money, but as soon as the man spoke, he said ten thousand words.
Gu Liubai frowned unconsciously, "Have these 60,000 yuan have been sent to you?"
E Zhenzan looked at Nie Yancuo. Nie Yancuo directly reached out and pointed a monastery close to the mountain wall, saying, "There is a warehouse inside the monastery that stores food and water. Now the 60,000 guan of privately minted money is piled up in it."
Gu Liubai said seriously, "Do you know where Ye Fengque and others' workshop for privately minted money?"
Nie Yan looked at Gu Liubai with a wrong look.
If it were someone else, he would have been out of patience if he only asked questions but did not give him any conditions, but he had just felt a little impatient. Just glanced at Gu Liubai, he felt inexplicably afraid, and the impatience that had just emerged suddenly disappeared.
He guessed what Gu Liubai wanted to know and said, "We don't know, but according to the tone of Junshi Ye, this workshop is quite large and can cast tens of thousands of coins per month."
Gu Liubai thought for a while and said, "Even Shengying doesn't know about this?"
"Sheng Ying?" Nie Yan said incorrectly, "We have never contacted this general in Fufeng County. We have contacted Military Commander Ye in the past and afterwards."
Gu Liubai nodded and said, "What do you say about lending your troops and giving you a place?"
Nie Yancuo was excited and said, "Mr. Ye said he would negotiate with the national teacher Tieliuzhen of the Great Food. Dashi and Goryeo will each borrow two thousand troops for us. At that time, he will help us capture the territory of the Sogdians, and then we will alliance with Dashi."
Gu Liubai felt relieved, and he smiled, "Then your troops and territory are gone."
These Tubo people were stunned and didn't know what Gu Liubai meant to say this.
Gu Liubai said calmly, "Tieliu really came to Fufeng County, but he did not join forces with Ye Fengque and the others, but with me. Now he is on the top of the mountain behind this temple. If you escape from there, he will help me block you there."
Nie Yancuo and others were stunned.
"In addition to these private minting coins, how much money do you have?" Gu Liubai said calmly, "I will also think of a way to do business with you like Ye Fengque. Money and territory will not let you suffer losses."
Nie Yancuo also knew the reputation of the green eyes in Mingbaipo. He calmed down and said, "There are also wealth equivalent to more than 100,000 pieces of Tang Tongbao."
Gu Liubai pondered for a moment and said, "I have to know what you are going to do. Do you have to fight back to Tubo and drive Zanzhuo off the throne, or do you think it's good if you have a place to eat and drink?"
When Nie Yancuo and others heard his words so honest, their eyes lit up. Nie Yancuo said the truth, "Not to mention that there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is not realistic to go back to overthrow Zanzhuo. To be honest, even if it is your Tang army, it is only almost enough to fight in normal times when we go to Tubo to fight. Moreover, no matter who is strong and strong, it is necessary to win. To be honest, I think it is good to be like your governor. He has the final say in one place."
Gu Liubai couldn't help laughing and said, "It's probably difficult for you to be a military governor. The military governor of the Tang Dynasty is not something you can buy. But according to your opinion, you may not necessarily be the king and dominate. Life is comfortable, so don't worry about being dealt with. Just have a fiefdom?"
Nie Yan nodded wrongly and said, "But I can't stand the bird's energy in normal times. We have thought about being a local rich man in a big city. But along the way, according to our understanding of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that a small official can cause trouble for the local rich man. Although life is comfortable on weekdays, I still have to nod and be angry when any official comes to the door, that's not possible."
Gu Liubai immediately smiled and said, "Then isn't it simple? Just build a street for you in a certain market in Chang'an and give you a status that is not in trouble for the official family?"
Nie Yancuo and others looked at Gu Liubai suspiciously, feeling a little unbelievable.
Gu Liubai said calmly, "Do you don't know that I am the leader of the Tang Dynasty?"
E Zhenzan was stunned and said, "We know that it is just that the Daosheng of the Tang Dynasty can do such a thing easily?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "There is a chamber of commerce in Mingyue Store in Yankangfang, which is specially engaged in joint operations with the government to rectify the old streets and alleys of the market. According to our practice, as long as you invest enough money, it is not difficult to buy a street. In addition to being enough for the houses you live in, you can also take up the harvest of those shops. If you like land, then it is not difficult to let you spend money to build a Taoist temple and get a piece of land. As for identity, Daozong has an identity. If you find it troublesome, you can directly hand over your money to the chamber of commerce in Mingyue Store for handling. You can be assured to be the owner behind you to wait for the profits every year. If you are afraid that I will fall and no one can protect you, then I will think of a way to make you stay in a certain industry of Li."
After a pause, Gu Liubai looked at E Zhenzan and others who were already a little stunned by the joy, and said calmly, "If you still feel unsatisfied, you can try to get military merits and change your titles. As long as you are willing to pay, even if you drink wine and go shopping in the streets and alleys of Chang'an every day, I can arrange for someone to bring you a private army outside the pass, and your private army will help you achieve military merits."
"This military function is considered to be on our heads?" Nie Yancuo was shocked.
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "I am afraid that I will not get a dead soldier if I am willing to pay money? You have so many people, and you will be a few followers. It is your son. Your son has achieved military merits and cannot be considered your own family. Those who don't know how to do these things cannot do, but I and Duke Pei and I will do it in small matters. It is easy for those who know how to do it. It is really stupid to bring so much money from Tubo and bet on the rebels who will be defeated at any time."
Nie Yancuo and his group nodded repeatedly, "It's indeed a bit stupid, but they have no way to do it. If they had met Lord Green Eyes, could they still hook up with these people?"
"I said I was a businessman," Gu Liubai said lightly, "In the future, people must understand that if you want to do some big business in the Tang Dynasty, you can ask me as soon as possible. As long as you are sincere, both parties will benefit, and there is nothing that cannot be discussed."
At this time, Xiao Zhenwei was already asking Zhou Erniu not to be polite and eat. Yingji arranged the food. When he heard Gu Liubai say this, he immediately felt aroused his heart. He knew that his nephew spent so much effort to recruit these Tubo people, not just to let them cooperate and take out their money, but to give them some examples in the future.
"As long as you abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty and don't act recklessly, I promise that you will stay in Chang'an very comfortable and will not be angry. If someone really causes trouble for you, Mingyue Pavilion will also help you stand out." Gu Liubai looked at Nie Yanchuang and said, "If you think my proposal is successful, then that's the case?"
"It's totally OK!" Nie Yan said incorrectly, "It's just Lord Green Eyes. What should we do if the private minting money we have received? And the rest of our property, should we leave it to you for disposal, or can we keep a part of it?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "You can keep half of your property first, but I guess in one or two years, when you see the income, you will take the initiative to take the initiative to take out more for the Mingyue Guild to do business. As for these private minting coins, they will be bet on my side first and not used, but I will not be in vain. They will give them to you at normal interest every year. As for the use of these private minting coins in the future, how much benefits will I get from using them, I will settle them to you in the original form, how?"
Nie Yancuo immediately made a decision, "Lord Green Eyes are so polite. We can count 30% of this batch of private minting coins, and the remaining 70% are considered as a meeting gift to Lord Green Eyes, and the fees for mediation from it!"
Gu Liubai said calmly, "Trade."
Niu was busy eating on Tuesday. He thought that these noble people really knew how to enjoy the food. They were all delicious. When he heard this, he was a little confused. The wealth of these foreigners was so much, so he had to negotiate and hand over it.
Gu Liubai said at this time, "Apart from you, are there any rebels from Fufeng County here? Where did they give you such firearms, and how many did they give you? In addition, have you given other weapons?"
