Li Yuanying has always acted vigorously and resolutely. He didn't intend to argue with these people who could talk in Henan Province. After sending out the invitation letter, he arranged the venue according to his own plan. Regardless of whether people come or not, the location is arranged. When the time comes, you will know who is there or not with a glance.
If you don't want to play with him, he won't take them to play!
Li Yuanying had been preparing for the "Pearl of the Orient" project for less than half a year, but the letter sent to Chang'an had not yet reached its destination. This grand gathering that gathered most of the famous people in Henan Province was still scheduled to be held in Fengtai Building.
Early in the morning, horses and chariots from all over the world drove into Tengzhou one after another. After thinking about it, most of them decided to send someone who could talk and make up their minds to participate. Therefore, the people of Tengzhou saw many people with good looks. The nobles, some idlers gathered in twos and threes to comment on the carriages of the parties, and the streets and alleys were extremely lively.
Li Yuanying listened to people reporting the situation in the city one after another, and was very satisfied with the fact that everyone gave him face. He and Wei Shu work together in a division of labor. One person is in charge of the male guests and the other is in charge of the female guests. It is important to entertain both male and female guests!
Wei Shu has experience now, and she is not stage fright at all. After getting the list, she will assign people to do the reception work. It was even easier for Li Yuanying, he just dumped everything on others, and he didn't have to worry at all!
Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang were much tired, mainly because Li Yuanying said that they were handsome and talented, and Lu Zhaolin was from a family, and he knew the situation of the aristocratic families in various places, so they were asked to represent Tengzhou to welcome more important guests.
Li Yuanying put a lot of high hats on them, and both Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang felt that they couldn't refuse, so they could only accept their fate and do things properly. As for other more detailed arrangements, Wu Mei, Di Renjie and others will be in charge!
Li Yuanying ate well, slept well, and rested full of energy, so he walked to Fengtai Building with Wei Shu and Gao Yang.
Gao Yang saw that Li Yuanying's face was ruddy, apparently he had eaten and slept well, so he felt a little aggrieved for Lu Zhaolin: "It's easy for you. In order to sort out the priorities of these guests, Lu Zhaolin and the others haven't slept well for several days."
Li Yuanying glanced at Gao Yang, feeling quite surprised, and said, "You don't need to be busy, what are you complaining about?" If Lu Zhaolin and the others were unwilling to do it, he would not force them to do it. But since Lu Zhaolin and the others are willing, of course Li Yuanying has to let them be responsible to the end. This is a rare opportunity for training! He told Gao Yang many benefits, "They seize the opportunity to exercise more, and they will not be in a hurry when they become officials in the future. Even if they don't want to be officials, they still have to do these things when they host a banquet at home. There is no harm in learning."
Gao Yang was speechless. After a while, she snorted: "It's so nice to say, why don't you learn it yourself."
Li Yuanying said: "I don't need to learn, someone will do it for me. If I really fall down in the future, no one will help me do these things, and no one will come to the next post. I will lose face if I do anything!" He was born in a wealthy nest of beauties, and he was born without having to be exposed to many dangers in the world. He has everything that others can't ask for in a lifetime. He never thought that one day he would be so downcast that he needed to do everything.
Gao Yang wanted to refute Lu Zhaolin by saying "he doesn't need it", but when he got to his mouth, he felt unreasonable and weak, so he shut up angrily. But when he arrived at Fengtai Building, Gao Yang saw Lu Zhaolin standing gracefully among the guests again. He was a young man with outstanding appearance, neither humble nor overbearing, he looked like Zhilan Yushu from a distance.
Xu Shi noticed their arrival, and Lu Zhaolin looked up in their direction. When he met Gao Yang's gaze, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he showed a clear and generous smile to them.
If Lu Zhaolin is like the breeze and the moon, then Luo Binwang is like the cold night and the star, equally outstanding, giving people a completely different feeling, but anyone who sees them will have to praise "what an excellent young gentleman"!
It is said that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Many people only discovered how many talents Li Yuanying has in the network after going through this experience. No matter how talented you are, whether you are strong or not, just talking about looks is enough to overwhelm many people!
Don't say that men don't need to care about their looks. Good looks can make a good impression regardless of gender. At least after receiving the well-founded guidance from Lu Zhaolin and others, everyone became more curious about the "Pearl of the Orient" project that Li Yuanying mentioned in the invitation post.
Li Yuanying boasted so much about the port construction plan, but many people held a wait-and-see attitude.
The main reason is that they feel that there is nothing at sea, so what do they need such a big port for
The Grand Canal dug in the Sui Dynasty can run through the north and the south. Isn’t the spacious and smooth Grand Canal much safer than taking the sea route? Walking on the sea may accidentally encounter wind waves or hit rocks! As for doing business with small countries like Korea and Silla, I heard that there is chaos there, and no one is interested in losing their own money to take risks.
Most of the people thought about it, and they came here to save Li Yuanying's face, but if they really wanted them to pay for the construction of a big port, they only wanted to pay some money, absolutely not more!
As soon as Li Yuanying arrived, the guests fell silent.
Li Yuanying didn't like long speeches, so he glanced around, and seeing that people were coming together, he asked someone to lift out a standing screen.
The vertical screen depicts the whole picture of the harbor that is about to start construction, with spacious docks, neat dock warehouses, and straight roads extending in all directions. Just seeing this rendering, everyone thinks that the dock is really grand! Look under the wharf again, countless seagoing ships have entered the port one after another, bringing with them rich products from all over the world, some coming from the north, some coming from the south, what a lively scene!
Li Yuanying is not asking for money this time, but intends to issue coupons of three sizes, large, medium and small, called "Pearl of the Orient One Coupon", and the common people can subscribe freely. "Pearl Three Coupons" and so on, those who actively subscribe this time are eligible to buy first!
The Pearl of the Orient coupon is not an ordinary piece of paper. It is issued in limited quantities. There are fewer large amounts and more small amounts. Everyone can subscribe according to their ability.
All the large-amount coupons are cut from the harbor planning map. The front side can be put together to show the whole picture of the harbor, and the back side is written with specific subscription information. Each person is limited to one ticket. As for the medium-value and small-value tickets, there are more of them, and they can be put together according to the serial numbers to make a picture of the harbor. The design is very delicate!
The Pearl of the Orient voucher is not only ingeniously designed, but also the paper is specially selected by Deng Qing, which is resistant to moisture and heat, and the ink stains are not easy to fade. There is no formula for paper making, which to a certain extent prohibits the possibility of imitation.
Li Yuanying and the people present at the meeting showed the whole picture of the Pearl of the Orient coupon, and said that he gave priority to calling everyone to subscribe because the fief was in Henan Province.
This is not to ask everyone to spend money to buy a piece of paper, but to borrow some money from everyone on behalf of the "Pearl of the Orient". Come and register the transfer to those interested in subscribing!
If you buy it back and put it aside, in the future when the seaport is completed and profitable, Prince Teng's Mansion will return the principal to the person who purchased the Oriental Pearl coupon, and will give a corresponding share of dividends in accordance with the principal within the next five years. It doesn't cost much, and it is possible for everyone to buy back a golden chicken that can lay eggs!
Li Yuanying said that if everyone is not interested, he can only have the cheek to ask people to go to other places to subscribe, and he only knows Wei Guogong Li Jing, Situ Changsun Wuji, Sikong Fang Xuanling, and a bunch of princes and princesses. Yes, there are not many acquaintances.
Seeing Li Dejian standing there, that is the eldest son of Wei Guogong, the number one person in charge of training the new sea division for Datang! There is also Du He next to him, that is the son of Du Ruhui, the Duke of Lai, the son-in-law of his niece, Princess Chengyang, and the second person in charge of the new sea division of the Tang Dynasty. In the future, when everyone's boats are going to sea, the sailors can open the way. They train and protect everyone at the same time, so they feel more secure, right
After Li Yuanying finished speaking eloquently, without further nonsense, he directly announced the start of subscription. Today, only large-amount and medium-amount coupons are open for subscription, and the remaining small-amount coupons will be issued to all common people on the exchange. As long as small and medium-sized households can spend a consistent amount of money, they can subscribe for small-amount coupons and return them at the exchange at any time The principal is never deceitful, and will never be in arrears!
Even for large-amount coupons, the money to be paid is far from beyond everyone's preset range. Originally, I felt that I would be returned to the original place by the big slaughterer, but I was inexplicably and strangely disappointed: Why did Li Yuanying ask them to pay less than those rich and powerful households in Hu County? Could it be that in Li Yuanying's mind they are not as good as merchants from a county
Although His Majesty Li Er definitely couldn't come to hold a listing ceremony for them, and Li Yuanying didn't teach them how to grow watermelons, but I always feel that they are looked down upon for only paying such a small amount of money!
Since Li Yuanying promised to return the principal at any time, all the people who attended the meeting generously paid for a large coupon, giving Li Yuanying enough face.
Some people were a step too late and could only put their minds on the mid-value coupons. It was a shame to buy only ten or eight coupons. Many people simply bought the next version with a big wave of their hands, and bought the entire harbor planning map home!
With such a large Prince Teng Mansion here, everyone believed that Li Yuanying would not swallow their money. For such a small amount of money, it would not be possible!
Tang Sui and the others quickly got busy, not only having to register the coupons for the on-the-spot subscription of the Pearl of the Orient, but also to welcome the next upsurge of subscriptions for the common people. Although the exchange has not been officially opened to the common people yet, after today, the news that these people here subscribed for the Pearl of the Orient voucher will soon spread!
The common people may not know Teng Wang Li Yuanying very well, but these aristocratic and powerful families have taken root in Henan Province for many years, and even they are willing to subscribe for this kind of coupons that are said to give dividends to the holders. Can you not be moved? It's not a small amount of money, but it's not impossible to save it. Just put the money in the exchange first, and then go to get back the principal when you need it
Therefore, there will definitely be many people who come to subscribe for the Pearl of the Orient voucher!
It can be imagined that the Tengzhou Exchange will not be idle until the completion of the harbor and even the first five years before the opening of the harbor. It is necessary for the academy to cultivate a group of mathematics talents as soon as possible!
Even if the Pearl of the Orient project on Henan Road is completed, won't there still be "two coupons for the Pearl of the Orient" and "three coupons for the Pearl of the Orient"? They must open this head!
The idea of Tang Sui and others was not wrong. In the next period of time, there was a wave of subscriptions for the Pearl of the East in the whole of Tengzhou.
The front of the exchange is overcrowded every day, either consulting related matters or paying for transactions.
The amount of money piled up in the money warehouse increased visibly with the naked eye, and Du He was so shocked that he couldn't sleep. He took people to patrol around the money warehouse every day, for fear that the money would move people's hearts and be looted!
Fortunately, Li Yuanying didn't let the money sit idle. As soon as the money to subscribe for the coupons was in place, Dai Ting and Dong Xiaoyi were immediately put into action. One was responsible for using part of the money to make money, and the other was responsible for coordinating supplies and supervising the construction of the seaport.
Both Yan Liben and Li Chunfeng felt that Li Yuanying's operation was amazing.
Only Li Yuanying, who has a rich family background and deep pockets, can make such a battle!
You must know that Li Yuanying started construction projects as soon as he came to Tengzhou, building an academy and expanding the outer city.
People are not fools, they see many things in their eyes. Therefore, after Li Yuanying played King Teng's signboard and invited many people with status and status in Henan Province to participate, the people immediately had a high degree of trust in his transaction.
This is the reason why Li Yuanying can be a white wolf empty-handed!
Those who win the hearts of the people really win the world!
After watching the excitement in Tengzhou, Li Chunfeng was very impressed. However, he was seconded to help Li Yuanying choose a date. Now that the date has been selected and the harbor has started construction, he has to return to Beijing to return to his job.
Before going back, Li Chunfeng said to Li Yuanying: "After returning to Chang'an, I may report to Your Majesty what I saw and heard in Tengzhou."
Li Yuanying said: "That's natural. Although I have written it in the letter, Brother Huang definitely wants to hear more details. Please tell Brother Huang well, so that he will be happy too."
Li Yuanying felt that he acted magnanimously and had nothing to hide, so it was fine for Li Chunfeng to tell his imperial brother!
Li Chunfeng stopped talking and set off to return to Beijing.
It wasn't until this time that the two letters written by Li Yuanying returned to Chang'an, one was sent to the East Palace, and the other went out of the city gate and went straight to Cuiwei Palace to be delivered to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er was leaning on the table, eating watermelon and reading the memorial. Hearing that Li Yuanying had written a letter, he immediately put down the notebook in his hand and asked the left and right to deliver Li Yuanying's letter.
The author has something to say:
Shandong Haoqiang: Why did we spend this little money? Are you looking down on us? !
Little Prince:
