Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 468

Therefore, in their hearts now, they are also somewhat afraid of Li Fu.

This is also the reason why they all appeared in this place. In the past, they would never have come.

Even if Li Fu's business is bigger than theirs, Li Fu still doesn't have any face with them.

Li Fu looked around and said, "I believe that most people have already guessed the purpose of calling you this time. That's right, it's about food."

"I know that everyone will have some food in their hands, right?"

Hearing this, everyone present looked a little unhappy. Sure enough, this Li Fu came here for the food in his hand.

A bold businessman said directly: "Li Shixian, we already have this food, but even so, we can't donate it in vain."

"I know you are helping those disaster victims now, but this is all your business, and it has nothing to do with us small businessmen."

At this time, some people also echoed: "That's right, we have lent food to the imperial court before, but the imperial court always said that it would give money, but we didn't see a single copper coin."

Li Fu smiled and said, "Everyone may have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to ask you to hand over the food for nothing. In that case, what is the difference between you and a robber?"

"I, Li Fu, am also a businessman. I naturally know your difficulties. How could I do such a thing?"

"Actually, this time, I have a plan, and I want to invite Wei Wei to realize it. If it succeeds, then the future grain market in Chang'an City will be controlled by everyone here."

Hearing what Li Fu said, everyone was extremely surprised. How could such a good thing happen?
It can be said to be an extremely crazy idea to be able to control the grain market in Chang'an City.

Although they knew that this matter was as difficult as heaven, none of the businessmen on the scene could resist such a temptation.

Now the grain market in Chang'an City is basically controlled by those big families.

These small businessmen can only drink some soup left by others, and they can barely survive in this market.

If he offends any family, he will not be able to survive if he uses any means at will.

So when Li Fu said these words, they were all extremely shocked. You know, it can be said that it is more difficult than going to heaven to compete with those big families.

Seeing that everyone's interest has been raised, Li Fu continued: "Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, you have to make some sacrifices first."

"That is, I hope everyone can come up with some food to help the court relieve the victims!"

"What?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

As soon as they heard Li Fu say this, they all suddenly became indifferent.

Sure enough, this Li Fu finally revealed his thoughts. Just now he said that he would not come to grab his own food, and now he will let him give it away for nothing.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Li Fu also smiled lightly, which was all in his expectation.

Having been in the mall for many years, Li Fu also understood one thing, that is, the businessman is the most ruthless thing.

They are only interested in profit, and they will never do anything that is not good for themselves, let alone things that will harm their own interests.

However, once they feel that it is profitable, they will all scramble to jump up.

So the most important thing at this time is to make them feel that this matter can bring them benefits.

After everyone became quieter, Li Fu continued to speak loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, you will never give this food away in vain."

"I will apply to the imperial court. As long as the merchants donate food, the imperial court will award a special medal. At that time, you can hang the medal at the door of your shop during the holidays."

"This kind of medal is absolutely unique. Only the merchants who donated food this time have the right to have it. Those aristocratic families are not worthy of it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately tempted.

If there is such a thing, then donating some food seems to be a good thing.

The imperial court will never award medals to others easily. Only those who have made great achievements have the right to receive them.

Businessmen have a low status to begin with. If they have such a medal, they will definitely not be so miserable in the eyes of ordinary people in the future.

Seeing that what he said just now had an effect, Li Fu continued: "Besides, I can personally give you some benefits."

"If you are willing to donate food, then the children in your family can come to my academy to study."

"Don't worry, the teachers in my college are all top-notch, and they are definitely a hundred times better than the private schools in Chang'an City!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you are willing to donate food, please come to Yang San to register. If you are not willing, I will naturally not force you."

After finishing speaking, Li Fu found Lao Lu and had dinner with him.

After finishing the meal quickly, Li Fu left the restaurant. The rest of the list calculation could be left to Yang San.

After Li Fu left, the businessmen began to discuss.

"Hey, everyone, do you think this is reliable?"

"I think it's very reliable. Li Shixian has a good relationship with the court, so he shouldn't break his promise."

"Yes, the imperial court is in urgent need of food now. If we donate food, we will definitely be able to get this medal."

"What we are most concerned about now is the gold content of this medal. Don't get it and find out that it is useless."

"Oh, don't worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this medal. After you get it, you will definitely only make money!"

……

Everyone talked about each other, and almost all of them began to prefer to donate food in exchange for medals.

Yang San also hit the iron while the iron was hot, saying: "Everyone, if anyone wants to donate food, please come to my place to sign up, and you won't wait when it's too late!"

At the same time, in Li Er's study, he summoned Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and others to come here to discuss matters.

The specific content of the discussion was Li Fu's previous proposal to exchange medals for food in the hands of merchants.

"This is really nonsense, Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling said, "This medal represents the imperial court's affirmation of it, and it cannot be awarded at will."

"Besides, the businessman's status is low and he doesn't deserve such a medal at all!"

But Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "Master Fang's words are wrong, I, old Cheng, don't like to hear it."
