Everyone quickly left Youjian Shopping Mall, but after they came out, a person spoke loudly at the door: "Everyone, it's not easy for us to gather here. How about we go to Youjian Shopping Mall in the West City to gather together?" Fan? It’s my treat. I have some feelings that I want to share with you today.”
"Yes, if you have nothing important to do, I sincerely invite you as much as Mr. Bai Lang." Another person said loudly.
The people who came here today are all the heads of various families. Li Ke invited them, and their status is not high. If they are not the head of the family or someone who can make the decision, they will not give Li Ke face.
Even Li Ke, the Zheng family in Xingyang, was killed, let alone a small family like them? These people are all fine people. As soon as these people said it, everyone reacted and they had something to say.
They all immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
After making an appointment, everyone left and headed to Youjian Shopping Mall in the West Market. It was closed today, but other Youjian Shopping Malls were open.
After these people left, Tian Meng walked in and hurriedly reported to Li Ke in a low voice what these people had said.
"Didn't our people propose it?" Li Ke asked.
"No, our people didn't speak, but those few did. Obviously they had discussed it in advance." Tian Meng immediately whispered. What Tian Meng said was to invite the more powerful people among this group of people today. , there are also quite some forces among these merchant-dominated people.
"I didn't expect them to be discerning." Li Ke was a little surprised. He could only say that the wisdom of the ancients was actually similar to that of later generations. It was just limited by the gap between the times. There were many smart people.
"Let people collect information, especially their respective family information, and where their family's main power is, and how many smaller local wealthy households it can influence." Li Ke said quickly.
"Yes!" Tian Meng fell to the ground in admiration for His Highness. His Highness is so strong! If His Highness were to engage in business, none of these people would survive.
Of course, what Tian Meng didn't know was that Li Ke was standing in the footsteps of the times. Without the experience summed up by countless people of the times, he would be nothing.
The information was collected quickly, and the previous literati gathered again below. Everyone looked at Li Ke as if they were looking at a god! Your Highness... It's simply... They don't know how to describe it, because if they say the adjectives in their hearts, they will be beheaded, so they can only think in their hearts.
"Your Highness, the statistics are over. There are a total of ninety-three people and eighty-two families. A total of 5.73 million guan has been raised in donations. The average amount is about 70,000 guan per family." Tian Meng took a deep breath. Then he said an astronomical number.
"Announce it to everyone." Li Ke lazily sat on the chair and took a sip of tea. This group of people can be said to be the richest merchant families except the powerful families and powerful officials of the Tang Dynasty. They dare not It is said that except for those mentioned above, it is 100%, but at least 70%!
Almost none of the main forces of these families are in Chang'an, but they all have people in Chang'an.
When Li Ke announced this number to all the literati, everyone went crazy! This is His Highness! Your Highness, who can turn his hands to make clouds and turn his hands to make rain! Their highnesses! Really...don't you really have to spend your own money? !
And those five Hongwenguan university scholars were all dumbfounded. What the hell is this? Has His Highness, King of Shu, always played like this? Is this a little different from what we thought? Does anyone outside know?
They certainly don't know.
"Your Highness is awesome!" Someone below suddenly shouted.
"Pfft..." Li Ke directly spat out the tea in his mouth. No matter how they knew this word, the source must be Li Ke's place. It is almost impossible for a person to change his speaking habits for more than 30 years, but of course it is not completely impossible. It would take a person with a peerless old man and a terrifying brain to do it.
Anyway, Li Ke couldn't do it, which is why he started to play the role of Madame Madam after time travel. After all, Cheng Yaojin theoretically lived for four dynasties. It's no joke. Such a vivid example is right next to him. Of course It’s time to learn. This has nothing to do with Li Ke's original character, it absolutely doesn't matter!
Of course, Cheng Yaojin probably knew what Li Ke was thinking, so he had to say, Your Highness, you are too polite. If you play this way, I, old Cheng, would have died long ago.
"Your Highness is awesome!" Many people also shouted, and Li Ke was a little speechless. You said that you are all literati, so why can't you use some elegant vocabulary, such as "Your Highness is really awesome?!"
"Cough." Li Ke coughed twice, and then stood up. Seeing Li Ke standing up, the literati below immediately stopped talking, but looked at Li Ke quietly on the stage. They knew that Li Ke had Something to say.
"I think you all must have realized what happened today. Remember, people's hearts are unpredictable but not difficult. Just grasp the precise needs of the other party. Everyone has what they care about most. By grasping these, we If you achieve your goals, you will be successful." Li Ke said seriously, "I hope you can go out one day and be able to stand alone."
"I will live up to His Highness's trust!" All the scholars said with solemn expressions.
The five Hongwenguan bachelors looked blank.
"Okay, everyone, let's disperse. Your work has not changed recently. In addition, each recruitment scene in the project that is about to start requires you to register. I need you to observe everyone when registering. Try to guess some information from them in advance, and then verify it one by one through routines when registering after guessing."
"When your guesses are 70% accurate, it means you have met half of my requirements." Li Ke said with a smile.
After sending everyone away, Li Ke called Tian Meng to the side: "Are the iron ore and limestone mines and related industries ready?"
"It's done, Your Highness. According to the map you gave us, all the major minerals we can use have been purchased. For example, copper mines, gold mines, and silver mines are all within our purchase range." Tian Meng whispered. Dao, these three things belong to money in the Tang Dynasty.
"These three won't move for now." Li Ke shook his head slightly. If the gold mines in this era were not the kind of gold mines that were so rich that they could make gold everywhere, the mining value would be there, but it would not be as fast as Li Ke's own money making. Things can only be used as reserves and cannot be used for fun. There is no need.
It is better to get a large amount of gold and silver from abroad through commodities. For example, Persia, Arabia and other places can exchange a large amount of gold for it.
