Chapter 677 You should always pursue something in life
"Wow--"
Li Dalang vomited a little and cried and said to Li Kui: "Brother, I really can't drink it!"
"Get another bowl, it's going to be fast!"
Li Kui, no matter what Li Dalang vomited, this guy dared to deceive himself by pretending to be sick, so he had to accept such a result. As for the dead?
Don’t be stupid. Although Li Kui is not a doctor, who doesn’t study basic medical skills in the Song Dynasty? No matter whether you are self-study or following Su Shi, An Daoquan and others, you still have a very good understanding of some common medicines.
Otherwise, he would dare to make medicinal wine?
Li Dalang's little thoughts could not fool him at all. Although the severely ill patient asked Li Kui to diagnose and treat the disease, he would probably have to pay a coffin in the end. However, if he took medicine that would not kill people, Li Kui could write a few complete prescriptions to fool people.
Using bitter tea soup to mix coptis chinensis water can only make such a fool of himself think of it. Li Kui smelled the trick.
Just Li Dalang asked for trouble and was almost filled with Li Kui just by drinking medicine soup.
He couldn't stand it, so he hugged Li Kui's thigh and cried, "Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I'm not sick at all. The shipyard has only been in such two or three years, and it's been a loss of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. If this continues, if it doesn't improve, the deal will be ruined! Brother, I have no choice. I thought that after the shipyard is invited by the shipyard, the situation in the shipyard will be better, so I told my brother. It's not a brother who is deliberately trying to hide it."
Li Kui thought about it carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "No! Are you still lying to me?"
"How dare you!"
Li Dalang raised his finger and pointed at the sky and swore: "If I, Li Da, deceive my brother, will be hit by five thunders."
"Uncle, my Dalang is telling the truth. He really dares not lie to you."
Zhang Yulian looked at Li Dalang's ugly begging from the side, but she was also unbearable. After all, this was her husband.
It’s just that my uncle in the family is too authoritative, so that her husband has been living in the shadow of Li Kui.
"You dare to say you didn't lie to me? The cost of the wharf is not low. You have been giving the ship's wages, as well as the timber reserved by the shipyard, and the cost of the sunken ship. It will cost 60,000 to 70,000 guan, but you say it's 20,000 to 30,000 guan? You won't use your own money to supplement the shipyard, right?"
Li Kui pointed at Li Dalang and said angrily. He didn't care about losing money and investing a lot.
Ruan Xiaowu suddenly spoke, "No, I'm not like this."
Li Dalang turned his head in grief and looked at Ruan Xiaowu. This guy has the opportunity to please him a lot, but at the critical moment, he still comes to him and step on him. What about his conscience?
"Brother, if I see something wrong in the account, don't blame me for letting my third uncle govern you..."
"Don't, brother, I really didn't hide the accounts." Li Dalang said anxiously: "Brother, you forgot that 100,000 guan was given to me at one time!"
Li Kui was puzzled and asked, "Is there a problem with this?"
"I feel sorry for this money lying in the treasury." Li Dalang cried and said in a slut, "If you lend it, how much interest will you have to give up? If you put it in the treasury, wouldn't it be a waste?"
"You lend?"
Li Kui looked at Li Dalang in surprise. This guy used to hate the rich man who lends money and often cursed behind his back. But unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he lived a life that he had resented before.
Li Dalang said nervously: "This is not OK?"
Then he muttered in confusion: "Our family is poor. When we were young, we really had no food. We went to the rich man in the town to borrow money, but we always borrowed a little money, and finally we lost a debt that we couldn't afford. In the end, the family didn't even have money to repair the roof. I would never do such a terrible thing. The money I released in Dengzhou City had the lowest interest."
"How much profit?" Li Kui said hilariously.
There are several types of money borrowed by rich people. One is to lend it to people with industries, especially farmers with fields. The interest rate is extremely high. When the debt collection cannot be paid, the land will be used to pay the debt. This is no different from robbing it. This is also the reason for the serious land annexation in the Song Dynasty, and many of them have official backgrounds.
Just like the situation he encountered in Yingzhou, this is basically the case.
Another type is to lend it to merchants, using reputation as a guarantee. The merchants in the Song Dynasty are quite credible and do not refuse to borrow money and run away. Merchants buy and sell goods and repay money. This is basically a business done by Huitong Money House, which requires a lot of capital, but once it is done, it is a huge wealth. Of course, even if it is credibility, it must have a certain ability to repay, otherwise the money from the Money House cannot be borrowed.
Another type is to temporarily lend to urgent people, such as medical treatment or mourning. These loans are basically poor. Even poor people without industries, most of them pay the repayment by people. They are similar to those of Huang Shiren.
Li Dalang did all three kinds of things, and his income was very considerable.
He stretched out three fingers, looked at Li Kui pitifully, and explained: "I am already very conscientious, much lower than other families."
It is said that this guy is a great charity. Li Kui guessed that the interest rate should be very low and asked: "Three points of annual profit?"
As soon as Li Kui finished speaking, Li Dalang was like a raccoon cat with his tail stepped on, and suddenly screamed: "Three points of annual profit, what should I eat? Three points of monthly profit."
Li Kui snorted coldly, "Don't you hate the rich dog? Why did you do such a bad thing?"
"I'm already very good, and it's much darker outside than me." Li Dalang said in a heartache: "I borrowed money from the merchant who had given up his capital to go to the sea to Gaoli. I borrowed money from those who had no money to treat the disease to see a doctor. You know, these people don't have the money I borrowed, so they can only wait for death. They can return the money after doing business. If they really have no money, when the disease is cured, they will make a contract for selling themselves, and live a few years without freedom, and they can pay it back. Brother, I live countless people in Dengzhou, but they have a good reputation."
Li Kui was a little speechless. He really didn't like the face of a loan shark.
Especially Li Dalang feels good about himself.
He asked Li Dalang to ask the shipyard accountant to bring the account book, and then after reading it overnight, he confirmed that Li Dalang did not embezzle. It was not that he was reluctant to let Li Dalang embezzle the money. But because if Li Dalang had a strong selfish heart, the Beijing camp would not be good at the shipyard.
Li Kui was preparing for the shipyard not to make money, nor to expand his business, but to give himself a way out. He was already ready to enter the officialdom, and he might be able to do something as an official. But he had already been branded as a relative of his foreign affairs and had a very strong relationship with the Liu family. Emperor Zhao Xi was in power, so he certainly didn't have to worry about himself.
But what if Emperor Zhao Xi dies and Zhao Ji ascends the throne?
He has a very straightforward personality and looks down on Zhao Ji very much, so he may not have a great chance of becoming a slander.
Staying in the court is frustrating. It is better to take advantage of his youth to occupy the next enclave overseas. It is not that he felt that rebellion had no future. But after deeply studying the current situation of the Song Dynasty, it was discovered that in the Song Dynasty, rebellion was against all bureaucrats, landlords and old money. No matter whether it was the interests of generals and civil servants, they would not be the same as those of thieves.
In this way, how can the rebellion be successful?
As for mobilizing the masses...
The people of the Song Dynasty were very stupid, and they were stuttering and refused to rebel. But there were not many people in the world who had no food to eat, so he probably couldn't start it according to his impatient attitude.
After thinking about it, I can only develop an enclave overseas and then accumulate strength.
But the style of the Dasong sea ship was not in line with his wishes. Even the ship used by the navy lacked the ability to fight. The ship was too shallow to install cannons on the side of the ship. There was no collision angle and lacked the deterrence at sea. At the same time, the speed was not fast. The only advantage was that it was very simple to control.
But this is not the sea boat Li Kui wants.
He wanted the kind of brig sailboat with ocean-going capabilities, wooden cruisers. That kind of big guy was in line with his wishes.
He can't afford to lose this man by using the old tactics of platoon battles at sea every time.
But the current situation of the shipbuilding industry in Dasong made him a little bit obsessed.
Li Dalang is a good guy who keeps his family property. This guy used to be very poor. Only when he was poor and could not even have enough food to eat will he pay special attention to money. He was reluctant to invest and could not have breakthrough skills. It would be difficult to build a big ship. Li Kui firmly believed that even if Li Dalang's little plot was gone, he could hang a sign on the original site of the shipyard - a pawnshop.
But this did not meet Li Kui's expectations.
His pursuit of the big cruiser has never weakened.
The craftsmen of the Song Dynasty are definitely the best craftsmen in the world.
As long as he is given a heavy reward, he believes that the result will definitely go in the direction he imagines.
Thinking of this, Li Kui found Li Dalang again and asked him to arrange for someone to post the notice he had written last night. Then he said to him: "I don't want the profits earned by borrowing, so you can keep them. The shipyard has lost almost 60,000 yuan, so I will bear it. You have a good job and give money to the shipyard craftsmen who have no work to make a living. These people have to be raised and well-maintained."
"Secondly, I decided to ask the money shop to find a skilled boatman. The key to the big ship is the problem of keel. The keel technique of keel is not good, and I abandoned the original shipbuilding skills, making the craftsmen not used to it. But it doesn't matter, I am planning to seek skills with a lot of money. As long as I can solve this problem and build the big ship, I will reward 10,000 yuan!"
"Ten thousand coins!"
"You're crazy!"
"But it!"
Li Dalang is not Wu Dalang's short figure, but he is always weak and makes people look more depressed. However, Li Kui spoke up for a reward of 10,000 yuan, and immediately it seemed as if he had killed him, which made him explode.
Li Kui glanced at the other party angrily and said, "Don't be the owner of this shipyard. I think you have a lot of ideas in business, so it's better to do your money business."
"No, brother, I will give you another chance, and I will definitely build a big ship for you." Li Dalang said fiercely: "I will make this ten thousand yuan. Brother, I have never accomplished anything in my life. If I can build a big ship of ten thousand materials, I will be considered a success in my life."
"You're willing to bear it?"
Not to mention money, when it comes to money, Li Dalang's tears of distress were almost falling, but for his ideals, he took the initiative.
Not long after, a notice was posted near the Dengzhou city gate.
Li Shipyard is seeking skills with a lot of money. If it can complete the construction of a large ship with 10,000 materials, Li promises to reward 10,000 yuan!
Chapter completed!
