Chapter 814 Promotion

Spend money to buy peace, and only care about the tribe and not the sins.

To be honest, this requirement is not too much, and it does not have much conflict with the current "Zhenguan Law" in the Tang Dynasty. Generally, death penalty is to kill oneself and relatives are exempted from death. Liu Yi's request is just to want the court not to pursue his tribe or to accept or to redeem the crimes of his tribe.

With the emperor's promise, the Liu clans will not only avoid the law of the court, but also act as a matter of bullying men and women, killing and robbing people because of their reliance. Second, it can also ensure that the Liu clan's lineage will be safe and sustainable, so as not to be affected by individual illegal clans.

From a heart, Di Zhixun is optimistic about the demand put forward by Liu Yi. Compared with those aristocratic clans who were exempted from death because of their military achievements, the condition that Liu Yixun only punished the head of the crime without involving the clan members seems to be cheap.

Di Zhixun thought that he was a bit crazy when he used two million stags of silver and three hundred thousand stags of rice and grain in exchange for a promise of forgiveness that had no conflict with the law. He didn't know what Liu Yi was thinking? No matter how rich he had, you couldn't spend it indiscriminately?

However, Di Zhixun was sure that a pressureless promise could easily exchange for two million jin of silver and 300,000 tantares of rice and grain. The emperor would definitely like to hear and hope that all the merchants in the Tang Dynasty could be like Liu Yi.

Moreover, since Liu Yi himself said that he would not blame him for not being able to do anything, what else should hesitate? So Di Zhixun patted his chest and promised him on the spot, even saying that he would do his best to convince the emperor and ask for a pardon from the emperor.

"Actually," he was worried that something would go wrong, so Liu Yiuan wanted to add another layer of insurance to Di Zhixun: "Uncle can also look further."

"I wish to hear it carefully." After receiving the promise of Liu Yi's donation of money and grain, Di Zhixun said that he was no longer under pressure. The old man squinted his eyes and relaxed, and savored the top-grade Sanyuan provided by Liu's mansion with a comfortable face. Hearing Liu Yi's words, the old man's eyes slightly opened and he aroused a little interest.

"Sanyuan, Chang'an, and other counties in the territory, but I, Liu's chamber of commerce?" Liu Yiu said to Di Zhixun with temptation: "I wonder if my uncle still wants to recruit the second, the third, or even the fourth two million cents?"

"Huh?" Di Zhixun's eyes widened, and he suddenly sat upright and looked at Liu Yi. He asked Liu Yi with some excitement, "Will you do it, what good ideas do you have for your nephew?"

No wonder Di Zhixun was a little excited and abnormal. It was really that Liu Yi's words shocked him too much.

One 2 million trump card is enough to make him stand firm in the Ministry of Revenue and maintain his position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the court. If there is another 2, third or fourth 2 million, Di Zhixun is a little unimaginable. So many pure political achievements are piled up together, who in the court dares to point fingers at him and talk behind his back?

Di Zhixun was already very satisfied with being the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He had long lost his ambition and plan to continue to rise. Therefore, being able to maintain his current position and be stable and stable has become the old man's biggest wish now.

The first, second, third and fourth mentioned by Liu Yiu can completely exceed Di Zhixun’s current wish, so he has no choice but to worry about it or pay attention.

"Did my uncle know that rich people, especially rich merchants, are they most afraid, worried and want to get the most?" Without answering Di Zhixun's question, Liu Yiuan asked him back.

"Business failed?" "Family declined?" "Personal safety?" "War beacon?"

"Everything is right, and neither is right, my uncle still didn't catch the key." Hearing Di Zhixun's series of speculations, Liu Yiu shook his head and rejected it, and said in a low voice: "Safety and recognition are what they want most in their hearts."

"Well," Di Zhixun nodded gently, and seemed to have some realization in his heart.

The merchants have low positions and are mostly underestimated. Moreover, merchants have wealth, but they will suffer disasters if they have great wealth.

The safety of family wealth, the recognition of the people around them or the court, is indeed something that most merchants desire but are out of reach. If the court could give them these things, and the price they had to pay was only a part of the money they had, I think they would not refuse.

"What a virtuous nephew means," Di Zhixun said: "Use this matter as a basis, and then find other wealthy businessmen in the country to plan donations?"

"First of all, we should create a kind of ***," said Liu Youdingshen: "You can donate money and grain to the emperor to pardon the Liu clan, and publicize it in the territory."

"Secondly, post notices everywhere to recruit wealthy businessmen who voluntarily donated them in various places."

"As for the conditions for donation, in addition to the pardon of my nephew, you might as well add some real benefits such as being able to become an official and being granted titles. The specific matters also need to be discussed by the uncle and the emperor and other ministers in the court. As long as these conditions are enough to attract the hearts of wealthy businessmen, there is no need to worry about sending troops without money and food."

"Well, you can try this idea of ​​the most virtuous nephew." Di Zhixun nodded lightly, and also saw Liu Yi's intention of this move. If the emperor could agree, the pardon he asked for would naturally be no problem.

However, as long as things are beneficial to themselves and the court, Di Zhixun doesn't care about Liu Yi's little scheming and purpose.

"When I return to the imperial city, I will definitely report this matter to the emperor in person. Please rest assured!" I comforted Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi was able to think of such an idea, which was a great help to him. Di Zhixun would not neglect what Liu Yiyi had told.

After the matter was settled, the two chatted for a while, and Di Zhixun used the excuse to find Luo Liu and stood up and went to the backyard.

"Young Master!" Liu Wuchen entered outside the hall and bowed to greet Liu.

"Your Highness Gaoyang is still safe?" After dealing with Di Zhixun for almost a morning, Liu Yi was a little sleepy. Seeing Liu Wuchen coming in, she stretched her waist freely and asked him softly.

"Return to the young master," Liu Wuchen said: "Since Princess Yuzhang came down, Princess Gaoyang has been much quieter. She has been chatting with Princess Yuzhang in the yard for the past two days, playing chess, and rarely comes out to find this and cause trouble."

"And that's it," Liu Wuchen continued, "The two princesses have been chatting with Mrs. Di in the courtyard of Mrs. Luo, saying that they would return to Chang'an with Mrs. Di in the afternoon."

"Well, remember to prepare some gifts for them to bring back." Liu Yiuan nodded gently and said, "Also, have you ordered the special ear warmer in Mianfang already prepared? Have you prepared some for them."

What does there mean? If you have something to do with the superiors, you must follow it.

The popular trends of the ancients were generally the same as the emperor and the royal relatives. To a great extent, the interests and dependence of the ministers and the people under their rule were greatly influenced by the interests and dependence of the people.

There is a poem that says, "The King of Chu is so thin, and many palace maids starve to death." There are princesses, ministers and even emperors and queens who are used as nude models for themselves. How could they worry about the product being sold?

It is not difficult to imagine that if Princess Yuzhang, Princess Gaoyang, Di Zhixun and Mrs. Di all appeared on Chang'an Street with exquisitely made ear warms, it would be difficult to avoid attracting the attention of others.

If the Liu Mansion makes some publicity and guidance at this time, let people know the function of this object and where to buy it, the result of this matter will be self-evident and can be imagined.

"Yes, Master."

"Well, I have already responded to Lord Di's request just now," Liu You said softly: "In three days, you can raise two million tanks of silver and 300,000 dan of rice and grain for the Ministry of Revenue. Please be careful about this matter and find more people. In three days, you can send the things to the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue in Chang'an."

"Two million coins?" Liu Wuchen was shocked. Considering the current situation in the mansion, he hurriedly said: "Young Master, that's all the money we have saved in our mansion. If you donate them all at once, will it be..."

It’s okay to have food. Anyway, for the sake of instant noodles, the young master secretly raised nearly one million dan, and 300,000 dan can be spent at any time. However, the two million dan of silver was a bit difficult. Liu Wuchen whispered to their young master that if he took out all the living money in the mansion, their Liu family’s business would inevitably be affected.

As for why Liu Yipeng donated so much, Liu Wuchen did not ask about it. First, he believed that what their young master did must have a plan, and second, the money was all the young master's private property. How did the young master use it? He had no right to ask about it. He just had to do the things his young master told him with all his young master.

"Many times, too much money is not a good thing. Just treat it as losing money to eliminate disasters and getting rid of wealth and people are happy." Liu Yi waved his hand lightly and said, "As for working capital, aren't there still many inventory in the warehouse? Whether it is wine, tea, or cotton coats, quilts, etc., from now on, all of them will be sold at a price of 10% and try to get some funds back as soon as possible."

"I understand, Master."

"There is another thing, about the processing and production of instant noodles," Liu Yiuan said in a deep voice: "After imitating the cotton shop, keep it strictly confidential, recruit more people and start increasing production. It won't take too long, someone will come and order in large quantities."

Time is getting more and more urgent. Now Liu's workshops are mostly handmade, and the production speed is extremely low. There is no way, so I can only put some effort into the number of people. Fortunately, the wages in this era are not high, and each person is already very happy to get five cents a day, which can be regarded as saving Liu's a lot of wages.

"Yes, young master." He didn't ask any more questions. After answering, he saw that Liu Yi had no other instructions. After a little bow, Liu Wuchen turned around and left the living room to put all the instructions his young master had just done.
