"Oh, that's not important!" Qin Mo said nonchalantly. Zhuge Sui had a lot of troubles. As soon as he entered the capital, he used him as a brush to gain his reputation.

Zhuge Sui's face turned green with anger.

Li Shilong asked: "What's the name of the one you ride for your father?"

"This is called a tricycle, also known as Lao Tou Le. Jing Yun made it specially for me.

This is convenient, fast, labor-saving, and can carry a heavy load!”

Li Yuan climbed onto Laotou Le again.

Qin Mo quickly reminded, "Old man, you can use one hand, but you can't use both hands, you know?"

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded.

"Father, this tricycle is too dangerous, you should..."

"What, you want to ride it?" Li Yuan frowned, "Let Jingyun do it for you, this is mine!"

"No, father, I just think it is unsafe."

"Father, a tricycle is ten times safer than riding a horse, and it doesn't eat grass and won't get tired. Even an old man like me can ride it for several miles.

There is also this 28-bar, which is faster. On cement roads, it is not a problem to ride hundreds of miles a day.

It can also carry a load of two to three hundred kilograms."

“Ride a hundred miles in one day?”

"Well, now the straight roads are all cement roads. I'm still conservative. It's not a problem for young people to ride 200 miles a day."

"The wheels of this car are not parallel, so why doesn't it fall over?" Li Shilong asked.

"Father, it's difficult for me to answer this question for you, just like why people can stand."

"This old man Le, and this 28 bars, are they expensive?"

"Expensive, it costs three hundred taels of silver per car!"

"This old man still has twenty-eight bars, and he will send ten of them to the palace!" Li Shilong said.

"Father, you just took away 30,000 taels of silver from me a few days ago. You are so bullying!" Qin Mo knew that this sixth man was up to no good.

Gather his wool every day.

Li Shilong snorted: "I haven't even settled the accounts with you for things that frightened my father, yet you still dare to bargain with me."

"Okay, you, the Emperor of Togo, I won't argue with you." Qin Mo acknowledged it. He had planned to give it away anyway.

Seeing Qin Mo deflated, Li Shilong felt much better.

"By the way, I'm asking you, what's going on with the bidding in Beicheng? Was it you who won the bid to become an imperial merchant?"

"I was responsible for the bidding, who the hell is Huangshang?" Qin Mo was stunned.

"Qin Mo, don't pretend to be stupid. There are rumors in the capital that as long as you can win the bid, you can become an imperial merchant. If you didn't do it, who else could it be?" Zhuge Sui snorted coldly.

"Fart, would I say such a thing?" Qin Mo is not stupid. If he says such a thing, is he looking for trouble?

"Can I still frame you? Go and find out for yourself!" Zhuge Sui said.

Qin Mo frowned, "Who is spreading the rumors behind your back?"

"Rumor?" Zhuge Sui sneered: "If you hadn't pulled these stunts, those businessmen would have flocked here?"

"Old Zhu, you know what the heck, my reputation is just a gimmick, I need to play this kind of trick?" Qin Mo said: "There must be someone behind it."

He cupped his hands and said: "Father, I won't do such stupid things, although saying this can attract them to come and bid.

But if they cannot honor it, they will definitely feel that they have been deceived, and it will damage not only my credibility, but also the credibility of the court.

As I have said long ago, the credibility of the court is very important. If it goes back on its word, over time, the people will not trust the court, and they will even stand against the court.

Something will definitely happen."

Li Shilong nodded. He still believed in Qin Mo on this point.

Take the Great Zhou Dynasty as an example. It was when the people lost trust in the imperial court that they started to rise up in various places.

It was only because Qin Mo spoke so clearly that Li Shilong officially paid attention to this matter.

"It's true that this incident came from you!" Zhuge Sui said: "It has been like this for thousands of years to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce. But when it comes to you, it emphasizes commerce instead.

I have heard of Daqian’s reputation as the God of Wealth when I was in Tongzhou, and I also know that you value businessmen more highly. Do you know what the consequences of merging business are!"

"I know, we will generate income for Daqian, increase taxes, provide jobs for the people, improve the living standards of the people, drive the economy of the north and the south, and make Daqian's national strength prosper!"

"Fart, agriculture is the basis for people's survival, and businessmen are all profit-seeking and exploit the fruits of the people. Being heavy on business will only make the people live in dire straits!" Zhuge Sui said.

Qin Mo was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. In the final analysis, it was the small farmer mentality that was at work.

"Father, I will handle this matter well!" Qin Mo said.

"Well, it's really not nice to hear about this." Li Yuan said, "I guess it's a rumor spread by someone. If it's not handled well, it will be very troublesome.

After all, this involves tens of thousands of households, so don’t be careless!”

"I got it, old man!" Qin Mo knew that he was being plotted against. Liu Wanche reported seventy people before, but now there are more than two hundred people.

The combined wealth of these people amounts to tens of millions of taels at least, which is a huge amount of wealth.

Although businessmen have a low status, money can help them, so Qin Mo still wants them to work with him.

No need to fool them.

"You have to handle this matter well. If you don't handle it well, it'll be up to me how I deal with you!" Li Shilong scolded them fiercely. In his eyes, these businessmen were big fat sheep that could be harvested at any time.

He wanted to do this, and Zhuge Sui promised to be the first to support him.

After Li Shilong and his party left, Li Yuan did not bother Qin Mo anymore and rode the old man Le back to the palace.

Wei Zhong was behind, "Your Majesty, please slow down!"

Qin Mo called Liu Wanche over, and Liu Wanche said with a happy face: "Mr. Jun Guo, it's done, we've completely done it!"

"How much money did the tender cost in total?"

"A total of 3.76 million taels!" Liu Wanche was so excited that he was trembling all over. "This much money is enough to develop a racecourse."

Qin Mo nodded. This was also what he expected. In addition to the stadium, the remaining land was enough to develop 70,000 houses.

In the best place in the capital, the supply of houses exceeds the demand. Even if you can afford the price, you may not be able to sell them.

Excluding the housing demolition compensation, there are still 30,000 to 40,000 more units.

Even a set of three hundred taels can be sold for more than ten million taels.

Excluding the cost of land acquisition and development costs, there is still a profit of four to five million taels, which is very profitable.

These more than three million taels of silver can be obtained at a fraction of the price, so the extra three million taels are a pure profit!

Including the more than 2 million taels in hand, he has a total of more than 5 million taels in hand. (Excluding taxes on grain, cloth, and salt, plus one yuan, the financial revenue for a year is about 30 million taels)

"It's better to make money from real estate!" Qin Mo thought.

"By the way, there is something I want to ask you. Do you know about bidding to be an imperial merchant?"

Liu Wanche was puzzled, "Why bid to be an imperial merchant? I wrote the notice according to your wishes!"

"you do not know?"

"I haven't heard of it. I've been visiting people for a long time. I've been so busy these days that I can't find anywhere else!" Liu Wanche said.
