Chapter 251 Pack and take away
"You kid are crazy about money, are you?" But the great Emperor of Tang Dynasty was always limited in patience. Listening to Li Muyun's chatter, Li Shimin finally slapped the table.
Li Muyun shrank his neck and showed a tangled expression: "Your Majesty, then I don't want it, but I now have 800,000 yuan in debt, so why should I pay it back if I don't have money?"
800,000 yuan? When Li Muyun reminded him, Li Shimin also remembered that the "fly man" in front of him still owed him 800,000 yuan but he had not paid it back. This is not a small amount. If it is piled together, it will probably be able to bury this kid back and forth for more than ten or twenty times.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled slightly and showed a embarrassed expression: "Oh, your matter is indeed a problem. When do you plan to pay the money?"
Hearing Li Shimin revolve around money, Li Muyun looked bitter: "Your Majesty, I don't want to owe money, right? But I really have no money on hand now, and it's not easy to make money now."
"Well, what you said is the truth, but I can give you a chance to make money."
"What opportunity?" Li Muyun asked in a greeting voice.
Although he knew that Li Shimin would not be so kind, as the emperor, you have to let him say what he wanted to say. Li Muyun still has this common sense.
"Cut the price of cement by half and build a city for me. As long as you can build it within one year, I can save you half of your debts. How about it?" Li Shimin smiled happily, as if he was proud of his wisdom.
What surprised him was that Li Muyun shook his head like a wavy drum: "No, I don't know how to build a city. The price can be done as you say, but you have to send someone else to build a city."
"Why? What's the difficulty of building a city like this?" Li Shimin said in a slight deep face.
"Your Majesty, Cangjie can also create characters, but does he know how to write poetry? The same is true for me. Although I can produce cement and know what cement can do, I can't build a city!"
Li Muyun said it with confidence, as if "no" was a very honorable thing, which made Li Shimin angry and stared at him but had no choice.
The most important thing is that this guy hasn't finished speaking yet. After a pause, he continued, "And your Majesty, it's wrong for you. Why do you have to pay some advance payment when doing the project? It's one thing that I owe you money, but if you don't pay the advance payment, I can't produce anything. Even if I can't afford it, the raw materials and workers' wages require money."
"So I shouldn't ask you for money, but I should give you money?" Li Shimin asked in anger.
The great Emperor of the Tang Dynasty discovered that every time he talked to this "fly person" named Li Muyun, he would be so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and the other Buddhas were born, and he didn't know where this kid's ability came from.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean this. I mean I will definitely pay back the money, but you have to give me some money to make a purchase, right? I have nothing now. If this continues, let alone repaying you 800,000 yuan in five years, I won't be able to pay back even 80,000 yuan." Li Muyun spread his hands, with helpless expression on his face, and said as if he was so innocent.
Li Shimin was almost angrily angry at Li Muyun's appearance, and smacked his lips and said, "Why do I think you don't owe me money now, but it's like I owed you money!"
"No, I do owe the money, but I don't have the ability to pay it back now."
"Then what do you mean? And what are you going to do when you come to me today?" Li Shimin seemed to remember that Li Muyun was coming to find him just now, and asked in a deep voice as if he had just remembered that Li Muyun was coming to find him.
"Uh..., that, your majesty, I actually plan to borrow some soldiers from you. There is no need to be more, just three thousand cavalry."
"What? Borrowing soldiers?" Li Shimin looked at Li Muyun with an incredible look, as if he was looking at a madman.
This guy obviously owed him 800,000 yuan but he didn't pay it back. Oh, by the way, he killed the Minister of Justice a few days ago. Not only did he even lose his position as the founding captain, he was also charged with being exiled to the frontier.
As a result, this guy actually ran back to find trouble and even wanted to borrow soldiers, not lent three thousand cavalry. Is this kidding? Who gave him the courage? Is this kid really stupid or fake stupid?
"Yes, haven't I discussed with Xue Yantuo's one to pull out something? I've used his brother to exchange for ten thousand war horses, but what if those Xue Yantuo people don't keep their promises? So I'm thinking about borrowing some soldiers to give you courage and scaring those Xue Yantuo people. And Your Majesty, if these war horses are exchanged for, can I have some money in my hand, and it can be used to pay back the accounts."
Li Shimin frowned slightly, and somehow he had the urge to curse.
How come it is the old man who owe money? It is obvious that Li Muyun owes his own money, but in the end it seems that he owes him money. Not only do he have to buy his things, but he also has to lend him troops to give him courage. What's wrong with this world?
But then again, this guy just said that the money made is just right to pay back the account. If this is the case, it seems that this is also a good idea, as long as it is operated properly...
Thinking of this, Li Shimin smiled slightly, looked at Li Muyun and said, "It's not impossible to lend you soldiers, but how much do you plan to pay back the money?"
"How about ten thousand coins?" Li Muyun stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand coins? Li Muyun, where are you sending the beggar?" Li Shimin's face was slightly dark.
"Then, that's 15,000?"
"The price is 50,000 yuan, less than this number, you can't even think about it."
"Your Majesty, 50,000 yuan is not enough. I can't sell these horses in total. Even if you kill me, I can't get that much money." Li Muyun looked at Li Shimin's five fingers stretched out and shook his head and said.
"Li Muyun, you think I can't bully you. Those horses I have to buy for 100,000 yuan."
"Your Majesty, although you spent 100,000 yuan, you wouldn't think I can manage such a big thing by myself, right? Do you think I can manage such a big business as ten thousand war horses?"
Li Shimin sighed helplessly. Of course, he knew that Li Muyun could not swallow the money alone, and someone in the court must have participated in this matter.
But then again, Li Shimin, both of whom have paid a price of 100,000 yuan for these horses. If he cares about who the money has been in the hands of, it will be a bit petty.
And what's important is that Li Muyun is obviously full of bad water. Looking at his thief eyes, Li Shimin knew that this kid must have something to say.
All the previous events show that Li Muyun is different from those ministers in the court. This guy often takes a detour and achieves some purpose through some incomprehensible means.
And this time, he obviously had something else to say, which made Li Shimin very curious and wanted to know.
So the great Emperor agreed generously to Li Muyun's proposal and agreed to lend him three thousand cavalry, but some people had to pay 20,000 yuan for it.
...
The wine is "suffocating donkey", the vegetables are steamed bear's paws, roasted deer jelly...
Li Muyun sat opposite Li Shimin, carrying chopsticks like flying. These things were not something that he, a little killer, could eat in later generations. It would be a blessing to eat one more bite.
Li Shimin could not imagine how Li Muyun, who was as thin as a monkey, could eat so much. And seeing how fast he was eating was not reduced at all, it was obvious that this guy could continue to eat.
Finally, His Majesty the Emperor could not bear it anymore, so he knocked on the table and said, "Li Muyun, don't you have something to say? You can say it now, right?"
"Um..." Li Muyun, who had a large piece of bear's paw stuffed in his mouth, swallowed it hard, then lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, I heard that in addition to the national treasury, there is also an internal treasury in our Tang Dynasty. Is this true?"
"What? Are you still thinking about my idea?" Li Shimin neither admitted nor denied it. He just stared at Li Muyun, as if waiting for him to continue talking.
"Your Majesty, look at what you said, I am a 'bastard' now, so how dare I make a decision?" Li Muyun smiled embarrassedly, and soon changed his face and said, "It's just that I have some way to make money. I have always wanted to find someone to cooperate with, but I haven't found a suitable candidate."
"So you have my idea?"
"How can this be? Isn't it profitable for everyone together?" Li Muyun smiled and without waiting for Li Shimin to continue asking, he continued: "You see if you can invest more money, don't have to be more. 50,000 yuan. Five years later, I will bring the capital and profit, and I will pay you a total of one million, including the 800,000 yuan. How about it?"
"One million guan?" Li Shimin blinked and suddenly smiled: "If you owe me 800,000 guan, don't you say that, I want to give you another 50,000 guan?"
"I'm going to fight for the big ones with a small amount. I believe you are not very rich now, right? When I came in, I saw it. It seems that this Tai Chi Palace has not been repaired for many years. The floor tiles in many places have been cracked. As long as you believe me, within five years, I can renovate the entire Tai Chi Palace, and that one million chunks are yours."
Li Shimin took a sip of the wine in the glass and said lightly: "Haha, I'm not big, my tone is not small, and I'm not afraid of the wind blowing tongue."
However, Li Muyun didn't speak this time and just sat quietly, as if waiting for Li Shimin's reply.
After a long time, Li Shimin seemed to figure it out, put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Well, I will believe you once, but if I can't see that one million coins in five years, you can be careful of your head."
But Li Muyun didn't seem to worry about his head, so he drained the wine in the cup in one sip, and then put the wine glass on the table: "A word is certain!"
Li Shimin also drained the wine in one sip and said loudly: "Okay! Then I'll wait for your millions."
