During the Han Dynasty, the ministers were close associates of the emperor, equivalent to his majesty's confidants.
That kind of people.
No matter where you go, you will be fawned over.
Just like the beloved male protagonist raised by Princess Guantao, he dared to run rampant in Chang'an with only the care of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
But now!
Why would a young boy from the Li family dare to call him Sang Hongyang like this?
Very simple.
Because the power of the Li family is too great, for example, Li Ling's grandfather Li Guang was a veteran of three dynasties. His second uncle abandoned military service and entered politics, and now he has become the prime minister, the head of hundreds of officials.
Again.
His third uncle, Li Gan, was personally named Marquis of Guannei by His Majesty.
For this honor, in the city of Chang'an, except for the Wei family of the Five Lords, who can compare with the Li family?
Sang Hongyang, a businessman?
Excuse me.
Li Ling didn't take him seriously at all. If there wasn't something that needed to be done through the Sang family businessman behind him, Li Ling wouldn't have looked at him seriously.
This is the pride that belongs exclusively to the Li family.
certainly.
It would be even more correct to describe it as domineering.
After all, he is a servant.
During the Han Dynasty, this was not considered an official position within the official establishment of the imperial court. It was just a verbal statement.
Not even Yilang like Huo Guang, whose annual salary is only 600 shi, can compare with him.
Although Yilang is young!
But it is a real official position, subordinate to the doctor and his subordinates.
now.
Sang Hongyang looked at the domineering Li Ling, a disdainful smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and said lightly: "Why is Li Alang angry? Didn't I talk to you normally?"
"It's you!"
"You're not very young, but why do you speak so grandly?"
"Have you forgotten that this Chang'an Le has a 30% investment from my Sang family merchants?"
Li Ling was stunned when he saw Sang Hongyang talking to him like this.
Sang Hongyang in the past.
But you would never dare to talk to his Li family like this?
In a blink of an eye.
He looked at Huo Guang and seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said: "Huh, Sang Hongyang, you think that by hooking up with this guy Huo Guang, you have something to do with the Wei family, right?" qs
However.
Sang Hongyang glanced at Huo Guang, and then said proudly: "Sang has never wanted to have a relationship with the Wei family."
"Besides."
"Even if I, the great farmer, are related to the Wei family, do you want a young boy like you to make irresponsible remarks?"
"No matter what."
"I am the same generation as you and your father. Do you need to take care of my affairs?"
When Li Ling heard this, he immediately frowned and cursed: "Big farmer? You bullshit big farmer, you are crazy to want to be ranked as the ninth minister. You are a small servant, and you are in vain to be called a big farmer. It's really ridiculous!" "
"..."
Watching the dispute between Sang Hongyang and Li Ling.
Huo Guang suddenly felt happy.
He didn't expect to see such a good show when he came to Chang'anle?
Shouldn't Li Ling and Sang Hongyang be grasshoppers on a rope? Why are we still arguing!
Is it for him, Huo Guang?
That doesn't look like it...
Listening to the tone of Li Ling's words, it seemed that Sang Hongyang was not very happy to cooperate with them in opening this restaurant!
But that's right.
The Li family is so powerful, it would be a shame to be happy.
Hearing that Li Ling still called Sang Hongyang his servant, Huo Guang thought for a moment and then reminded him: "Well, Li Ling, I have to remind you here."
"This is the person standing in front of you!"
"Sang Hongyang, the great farmer of the Nine Qing Dynasty of the Han Dynasty!"
"This matter."
"This is appointed by His Majesty. In a few days, all the officials in the court will know
Know! . "
Li Ling was speechless after hearing Huo Guang's words.
He could tell from Huo Guang's tone that he wasn't lying.
at the same time.
There is no need for the other party to lie.
If Sang Hongyang had not been promoted to the rank of Da Nong, then he would have humiliated himself in the end by telling this lie!
Think of this.
Li Ling suddenly had a gloomy look on his face, looked at Sang Hongyang and asked, "Did His Majesty really let you take up the post of Great Farmer?"
Sang Hongyang didn't speak, but just made a faint sound in response.
See this.
Even the domineering Li Ling had no choice but to cup his hands and say, "Congratulations..."
"No, I can't bear the prestige of your Li family." Sang Hongyang suddenly felt extremely happy and ignored Li Ling. Instead, he said to Huo Guang, "Huo Yilang, let's go into the box and talk."
Finished.
Sang Hongyang took Huo Guang and walked towards the quiet private room.
Although in the private room, you can't see the actors singing and dancing on the stage.
But it's better than being quiet.
And at this time.
Li Ling's face suddenly turned livid, and he watched Sang Hongyang and Huo Guang walk into the box with gloomy eyes. He seemed to have a bad temper, but he did not dare to explode.
no way.
The Sangong and Jiuqing were the top officials of the Han Dynasty.
You say this is the Han Dynasty, which emphasizes martial arts and neglects literature?
Excuse me.
The top level of a military commander is also an official. Otherwise, what is the position of a Taiwei?
It's just the Han and Wu dynasties.
The official position of Taiwei has always been vacant. Later, it was changed to Da Sima, which was just another name.
And Li Ling is now.
At best, he is just a "dandy" kid.
He doesn't even have an official position, nor is he a military commander.
Naturally, he did not dare to offend Sang Hongyang, who was Jiuqing, so he had to leave in anger.
He planned to tell his grandfather Li Guang about this when he returned.
"Brother Zi, I'm sorry, what happened today made you laugh. If you continue drinking, you won't have fun anymore. I'll go back first and tell my family about Sang Hongyang." Li Ling immediately clasped his fists and said Sima Qian said goodbye.
After learning that Sang Hongyang had become the Da Nong Order among the Nine Ministers.
Not only could Li Ling not be angry, he also had to think about how to have a good relationship with Sang Hongyang.
Sima Qian then raised his hands and said, "Okay, then, Young Master, go slowly!"
After Li Ling left.
The restaurant was still busy, there were many guests, and it was very noisy.
Huo Guang was in the box, unaware of what was going on outside, and was only focused on discussing the slag cooperation with Sang Hongyang.
After some discussion.
Most of the projects that require cooperation have been negotiated.
But after Huo Guang took a sip of tea, he suddenly looked at Sang Hongyang and asked: "Sang Danong, since you have become a great farmer, with your status, would it be boring to come today just to discuss cement cooperation?" some?"
Listen to Huo Guang's words.
Sang Hongyang frowned slightly and said, "Boring, what do you mean?"
Huo Guang smiled and said, "I just want to say, let's play big, I don't know if Sang Danong dares!"
Playing with big tickets?
Hearing Huo Guang's novel words, Sang Hongyang was already used to it. He immediately frowned and asked, "What does this mean? You are a big fan, could it be that Huo Yilang has better cooperation matters?"
"Of course!"
Huo Guang smiled contemptuously.
Originally, he was not willing to cooperate with someone like Sang Hongyang.
But just now he saw that Sang Hongyang didn't get along very well with the Li family.
That's when I got the idea.
Seeing that Sang Hongyang was puzzled, Huo Guang continued: "Sang Danong, you were here last time, and you know what I told His Majesty. I asked for four open spaces outside Chang'an City to build some houses. Something?
"
"Didn't you say to build four cities?"
Sang Hongyang seemed to feel a little strange, but looking at what Huo Guang said, it didn't sound like he was joking.
Huo Guang shook his head and said: "No, no, it's a house. Why should I build a city? Building a city is a subjective imagination of you people. From the beginning to the end, I have been talking about building a house."
Say so.
But Sang Hongyang still didn't quite understand, and asked, "Then what do you mean by having a big vote?"
Huo Guang smiled faintly and said, "What do you think I build the house for?"
"Of course houses are for people to live in, but you are not His Majesty. If you want to build so many houses, you naturally want to sell them for money!" Sang Hongyang analyzed.
Huo Guang suddenly smiled and said, "Where does the money come from?"
Sang Hongyang frowned and replied, "It's from the people who bought your house."
After hearing this, Huo Guang burst out laughing and said, "Some people are so poor, how can they get the money to buy a house?"
As soon as these words came out.
Sang Hongyang was really confused and asked immediately: "I said Huo Yilang, just say it directly and stop playing riddles."
"This man has no money!"
"You still want to buy a house?"
Huo Guang nodded immediately and said, "Of course, who stipulates that poor people cannot buy a house if they have no money? Sang Danong, your definition of money is too one-sided!"
When Sang Hongyang heard this, he immediately became dissatisfied and said, "Huo Yilang, Sang comes from a merchant family. If you say something else, I can't refute you. You say money... ha!"
Huo Guang was happy to see Sang Hongyang's unconvinced look.
There is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
After thinking about it.
Huo Guang said: "Don't be dissatisfied. In terms of money, your understanding is only visible, that is, now."
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"What about the future?"
Sang Hongyang shook his head and said, "Future? What do you mean?"
Seeing that he was aroused by the upcoming great agricultural minister, Huo Guang said with great emotion: "Let's put it this way, the poor don't have money to buy a house, but you can lend them money to buy a house!"
"Ha, borrow money?"
Sang Hongyang said he couldn't understand this.
Huo Guang immediately said: "Of course, you are not borrowing our money!"
Sang Hongyang was even more confused and said, "Whose money can I borrow?"
Huo Guang smiled and said, "Of course it's money from the treasury."
Hearing this, Sang Hongyang suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, as if he was frightened, and said: "Huo Yilang, don't be joking. The money in the treasury was all saved by His Majesty's Yantie official camp. It is for Keep them for the army to fight against the Huns."
"If this is used privately."
"Even if Mr. Sang has ten heads, it's not enough to chop him off!"
really!
If you use the money from the treasury privately, you may risk your whole family being executed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The murderous nature of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
There is no doubt about this.
But Huo Guang shook his head and said with a smile: "Where are you thinking, Sang Danong? I'm not asking you to embezzle money from the national treasury privately. What I mean is that you find an opportunity to tell His Majesty that the money from the national treasury has always been If it accumulates and does not flow, it will only produce ashes.”
"Not as good as that."
"Let this money circulate and achieve the effect of money making money!"
"Let me give you an example: the national treasury lends money to those who cannot afford a house to buy a house!"
"As for how to make money?"
"Of course it's part of the principal and interest that those people pay every month after borrowing the money."
"I won't say much about the principal. Even a fool can understand it. As for the interest, it is the money borrowed and the money earned!"
"If this is done."
"In the future, I will make more money than Yantie Official Camp!"
Sang Hongyang is a person who has seen big scenes. Even though Huo Guang blew the headlines, he did not
I agreed directly.
So at this moment.
He did not choose to believe Huo Guang's words, but continued to ask: "Huo Yilang's idea is too naive. People's houses do not need to be as luxurious as palaces, and they are easy to build. Why do they want to buy you to build them? House of?"
"Moreover."
"I've only heard that the money from the national treasury is used for disaster relief allocations. How can it be used to make money from the people!"
"Is this easy to say or not?"
Sang Hongyang's statement is not unreasonable.
Why do people spend money to buy the houses built by Huo Guang? It would have been easy to build it yourself.
After all, this is the Han Dynasty.
But Huo Guang, who had come from this experience, shook his head noncommittally and said with a smile: "Sang Danong, it's not easy to sell a house. It's enough to tie the marriage to the house. Those who don't have a house, women If you don’t want to marry, if you have a house, you can still marry a man, it’s simple.”
"It's not enough to get married."
"Then bring up children, support for the elderly, education, and even loyalty, filial piety, trust, etiquette, justice, integrity, etc., etc., etc."
"Isn't this already sold?"
"And as you said, the treasury needs a reputation, right? That's easy, just advise His Majesty to set up a subordinate organization and call it Money Bank."
"Poor people can't afford a house, so they ask for money to borrow!"
"I bought a house then."
"Isn't it wonderful that the people can still think of us well?"
Hearing Huo Guang's suggestion, Sang Hongyang suddenly brightened up.
This advice.
If you let him say it, when His Majesty agrees, the country implements it, and the finances increase significantly, it will definitely be his credit.
Suddenly.
The expression on Sang Hongyang's face changed from surprise to surprise, and he said: "This is feasible. How did Huo Yilang think of connecting these things together? After hearing this, Sang was really impressed.
"It's so smart to design it like this and let money make money."
However.
Praise for Sang Hongyang.
Huo Guang just smiled disdainfully and said, "Sang Danong, do you think these are the most subtle points?"
"Ah!"
"If it's limited to this, is it worth my time to tell you this?"
After hearing this, Sang Hongyang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Anything else? Well, Sang is willing to listen attentively."
Seeing this, Huo Guang paused and continued, "The most subtle thing about this is the repayment issue for those who buy houses after the money bank borrows money."
"For example."
"A house that could have been bought for 100,000 yuan, but I borrowed it from a money bank, and then when it was fully paid off, it would cost almost 200,000 yuan."
"And for home buyers."
"The price of this house has become two hundred thousand."
"If latecomers want to buy a house, they have to spend 200,000 to buy it."
"When he pays off the money borrowed from the bank of 200,000 yuan, the house price will become 400,000 yuan."
"People who don't own a house but want to buy a house naturally want the price of the house to drop."
"But those who own houses hope that prices will continue to increase. The higher the price increase, the better."
"For those of us."
"Even without doing anything, a house originally worth only one hundred thousand has turned into millions, a huge profit of tens of millions. What is the concept of a house worth tens of millions, Sang Danong, you have never dared to think about it Bar!"
A house worth tens of millions?
Sang Hongyang couldn’t even think about it!
Such a house?
I'm afraid not only the emperor of the Han Dynasty could afford to live there!
After some calculations in his mind, Sang Hongyang looked at Huo Guang and asked, "If Huo Yilang said this, wouldn't the people of the Han Dynasty have to pay for their houses throughout their lives?"
"This so-called money begets money, doesn't sound good!"
"If this continues for a long time."
"The people have become poor and have no money to squeeze out?"
