"Your Majesty, what you said before are really guaranteed?"
Seeing that Liu Deng was a little angry, a businessman boldly asked carefully.
"Okay, I will sign a gambling agreement with you! If any of you follow my rules and cannot get your money back within two years, how much money did you spend? I will repurchase your workshop at the original price! "
Liu Deng said impatiently.
After listening to what Liu Deng said, those businessmen no longer had any scruples.
In fact, up to now, on the one hand, it is because they are optimistic about this deal, and on the other hand, it is completely out of trust in Liu Deng.
Although it really hasn't been long since Liu Deng traveled here, in just a few years, he has built up his personal credibility to be extremely strong.
"Your Majesty, since we have said this, of course we have no other explanation! It's just that, Your Majesty, I am a bit confused. Why do you build so many big ships?"
A fat businessman picked up a glass of wine and toasted Liu Deng before asking.
At this time, everyone's thoughts were asked. Even if Liu Dengri made a fortune, they still couldn't understand that he was giving out such a large amount of copper coins to build ships.
"Of course I will make a fortune by building ships. I am not afraid to tell you that the eldest princess and Prince Liang are also involved in this business of my king."
After hearing this sentence, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
In today's Han Dynasty, apart from the emperor, there are actually three of the most noble people. You can imagine how profitable this business is.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that going to sea to do business with the barbarians is indeed a very profitable business, but is it necessary to build such a big ship?"
In business, maritime trade is nothing new.
After all, the entire Lingnan Three Kingdoms actually rely on this business to make a living.
Although the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Lingnan has never eased, they still have some connections.
"You just want to do business. I am not prepared to be like you!"
Liu Deng smiled and then said.
Where can we businessmen inquire about such important military and national affairs? Old Chen, please stop talking nonsense here! "
Although Liu Deng did not finish what he said, all the businessmen understood immediately.
What need could there be for so many large ships other than conquest?
But having said that, if the Han Dynasty had such a huge fleet, would merchants like them be able to get involved in overseas trade in the future...
Before, everyone knew that sea trade was indeed profitable.
However, the waves on the sea are rough, and there are countless pirates in the vast distance.
If anything happens to you, your family will be ruined in the end.
But if there is such a huge fleet escort, then this sea trade business should not be too profitable...
"It's not a shameful thing, but if we don't have these huge fleets, how can we make those overseas barbarians who don't respect kings bow their heads?"
As Liu Deng spoke, he poured himself another glass of wine.
After saying this, the attitude of all the businessmen suddenly became more humble.
This is the real ruthless person!
But then again, Yi Dai's army is invincible. If they are really allowed to deal with those overseas barbarians who are still drinking blood from their hair, will this be an unwinnable battle?
Moreover, this overseas country is not within the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Once the generals on these big ships go to sea, who can know what they will do across thousands of miles of sea...
"Okay, the meat is almost done, let's eat the meat first!"
Seeing that the scene was also quiet, Liu Deng laughed and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Deng has already spoken, how dare these businessmen talk nonsense.
Suddenly, both of them raised their glasses and drank happily.
It wasn't until the banquet ended that Xu Yin curiously came to Liu Deng's side.
"I'm really surprised. Why do you want to find such a group of despicable people? What is it about people like them who are busy working in a hustle and bustle all day long that you should particularly admire?"
Xu Yin had been sitting aside from the beginning, and he had a clear view of what happened tonight.
As Liu Deng said before, he can leave these matters to those dignitaries, and those people will not have any doubts at all.
Because in their opinion, being able to establish a relationship with Liu Deng is no longer something that can be bought with these copper coins.
But Liu Deng chose these people. Not only did he have to explain this and that to them, but he also had to accept their doubts.
If it had been Xu Yin, he would have driven them all out long ago.
If you are in a bad mood, you might as well drag them all out and chop them off if you are not sure.
"Do you think a country can last long if the only people who control its wealth are its officials?"
Liu Deng smiled and then asked casually.
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Yin couldn't help but frowned. He didn't quite understand what Liu Deng meant.
"Nowadays, the aristocratic families have already formed a collective. It is really difficult for ordinary people to join their circle! Moreover, their power is already strong enough. If they continue to be strong, I am afraid they will affect the imperial power. It’s been replaced!”
Liu Deng smiled and then said.
"I still don't quite understand. What does this have to do with you looking for these stupid people?"
"Of course! I'll show you something!"
After Liu Deng finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and led Xu Yin all the way to his study.
After rummaging for a while, a pile of wooden sticks was poured out from a box. These were the toys Liu Deng had prepared for Xiao Shitou.
In fact, there is nothing new, just the simplest building blocks.
After a few splicings, a rectangle appeared in Liu Deng's hand.
"What's so interesting about this?"
Xu Yin frowned and pressed lightly with his finger, and the square he had just punched out immediately fell to the ground.
He really has no interest in the things these children play with.
"Try again!"
Liu Deng smiled, then picked up a few thin iron wires and fixed them again.
"Don't you think this kind of thing is childish?"
Although he said this, Xu Yin still pressed hard with his fingers, and then, the wooden strips that Liu Deng had just tied suddenly started again. It became crooked.
"Come again!"
While Liu Deng was speaking, he rearranged and added another wooden strip.
"What's the difference?"
Although Xu Yin said this, he clearly felt that he needed to use more strength.
"Don't worry, try again this time!"
Liu Deng smiled and added another wooden bar.
"Huh?"
But this time, even though Xu Yin had used all his strength, these simple wooden sticks proved to be strong.
"You see, the triangle is the most stable! Not only these things, but also the power! The imperial power is high, and the officials control all directions, but only this most important corner is missing..."
