Great Wei Nengchen

Similarly, the shape of these ox carts is no different from the first one. They are all made of exquisite materials and shabby grades. They belong to the vehicles used by ordinary people. It can be seen that the identities of their owners are roughly the same-rich but not expensive!

"Brother Zhang has always been good. I heard that you have opened eight more stores in Fuguifang. It can be said that you are making money every day!"

"It's just a small business. How dare you compare it with Brother Liu? If you walk on the grassland, you can earn more than a million dollars!"

"Hey!...Brother Huangfu is here too. This year's weather is good and the grain is abundant. Your hundreds of grain and rice stores are going to make a fortune again!"

......................................................

The car owners came out one after another. They were old and young, ugly and handsome, all of them were rosy, well-spoken, but poorly dressed, and did not wear gold or jade, because they had the same identity - businessmen!

There were a total of 43 people who came, all of whom were first-class wealthy businessmen, who were engaged in food, wine making, livestock, fishing salt, transportation, mining, construction, timber, textiles... all walks of life, including all industries, with strong assets and great power. The existence of the wealthy party!

Someone has commented privately that 43 companies work together, and within ten days, Xuchang City can be made - the market is depressed, supplies are in short supply, and within a month - prices are soaring, livelihoods are difficult, half a year - food is cut off, refugees are flooding, to that At that time, the Han Dynasty had to move its capital!

Of course, this is just talking, they really dare to do this, within three days, the tiger and leopard riders will definitely come to the door, confiscate the family property, and exterminate the nine clans. Prime Minister Cao's thunderbolt method is quite powerful!

The merchants live scattered, and although they have business contacts, they seldom gather in one place. Today, 43 people came together, which is even more unique. As for the reason... They received an invitation from Da Sima Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi is the No. 1 general in the world and the son-in-law of Prime Minister Cao. His status is so honorable. Those who are qualified to associate with him are all civil and military ministers, high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Now that he sends an invitation to a humble businessman, everyone is naturally full of surprises!

The joy is that it is a great honor to be invited by Da Sima. The value of this invitation is priceless. If you take this opportunity to win Da Sima's favor, you will be able to reach the sky in one step!

Surprisingly, the word 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' makes people shudder. This man who fought in the South and the North, killed people like hemp, and is known as the 'Killing God'. If they make a small mistake, I am afraid that their heads will be lost. If Da Sima wanted to kill a few businessmen, it would be like crushing a few ants!

Therefore, after receiving the invitation, the merchants bathed and changed their clothes, selected their clothes, took ginseng tonic, recharged their energy and stored up their energy, and then came to the gate of the Hou Mansion early with various gifts, in order to meet the grand master in the best condition. Sima - Xiao Yi!

As for the purpose of inviting them, there is no explanation on the invitation, but everyone can guess it. Since ancient times, officials are like knives, merchants are like sheep, and the meeting between the two parties must be related to money. They are also well prepared. I am afraid this time It's going to be bloodletting!

"Squeak!...You guys came so early, you are all trustworthy people, Da Sima is waiting in the lobby, please come inside!"

After the sky was bright, with a sound, the door of the Hou Mansion opened, and a fat man with a smile on his face walked out. It was the Chief Manager - Song Zhong!

"There is a personal welcome from the head of labor, the villains are ashamed, and a small gift is not a respect!"

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate and the head of Wuchouhou's mansion are equally distinguished. At least in the eyes of all the businessmen, Song Zhong is a big man!

Merchants filed in, and when they passed by Song Zhong, they stuffed their purses. There were gold beads or beautiful jade in them, all of which were expensive. This kind of unspoken rules, Song Zhong never refused anyone who came, and accepted them all with a smile. down!

Next, Song Zhong led the way, led everyone into the mansion, and went straight to the lobby of the Hou Mansion. Xiao Yi had already washed himself up, and was waiting for the fat sheep to come to his door!

..................................................................................................................

"The little ones pay homage to the great Sima, the prince of the world, rich and auspicious!"

After entering the lobby, all the merchants knelt down and paid respects, no one dared to look up!

"Hehe! - The honored guests are coming, and the succulent plants are shining, you don't need to be too polite, let's all sit down and have tea!"

Above the lobby, Xiao Yi was wearing a purple gold crown and a robe of hundreds of flowers. He had an extremely easy-going attitude. He only needed to lightly raise his hand, and the soldiers of the Marquis Mansion stepped forward to help the quail-like merchants up, and then sat down to serve tea. !

At this time, the merchants raised their heads slightly and peeped at Xiao Yi above. This big Sima - with a smile on his face and a golden light in his eyes, didn't have any murderous aura. Instead, he felt a familiar smell, which was the businessman's. Greed!

"The world is in chaos and the country is in turmoil. All the people of the big man should contribute to the country. I invite you to come here today because I have something to discuss..."

Xiao Yi waved his hand to the outside, and the soldiers carried up a sand table. The houses on it were exquisite, carved beams and painted buildings, which was the model of the 'Zhengming Academy'!

"Serving the country is a matter of course. Although a businessman is humble, he is also loyal. As long as Da Sima gives orders, we will definitely do our best!"

Those who can become big businessmen are all with exquisite hearts, and within a few words, they can understand Xiao Yi's meaning, this is because they want them to donate money!

The world is in chaos, wars continue, and money is spent like running water. However, the folks are empty, the fields are barren, and the money and food handed in are very little. The euphemistic name is: 'Donate money for the country', but it is actually a form of extortion in disguise!

Knowing that they have been blackmailed, the businessmen can only hold their noses and admit it. Who told others to have power, swords and soldiers, while they only have money? It's like a wolf eating sheep, it's only right and proper!

Fortunately, Da Sima is a man of true nature, arrogant but not humiliating, bullying the strong but not the weak. He only makes enemies of heroes and heroes, and never bullies the poor. Thinking of this, the merchants looked at each other and discussed the amount of donation. I'm afraid there is no amount of gold, so they can't walk out of the gate of the Hou's mansion, right?

"Businessmen travel all over the world and work day and night to earn a little hard-earned money. If you want to serve the country, I will give you three gifts in return. To honor future generations!"

Xiao Yi asked the businessmen to donate money, one is to prepare for the Zhengming Conference, and the other is to expand the Zhengming Academy. As education investors, they should be given an honor!

"Engrave a stone tablet, place a school, have no students, and reverence... This business is not a loss!"

Businessmen value profits and have the same name. They are still willing to spend some money in exchange for a good reputation. After calculating the gains and losses, many people doubled the amount of planned donations!

"Secondly, anyone who participates in donating money can become a guest of the Hou Mansion. If you encounter trouble in the future, I will support you all!"

Merchants are the last of the four peoples and are deeply discriminated against by the world, but Xiao Yi is very clear about how powerful these people are. In the world after 2000, the regimes of many big countries will be controlled by businessmen!

Even in the Qin and Han dynasties, merchants were very useful, but the rulers of all dynasties failed to use this power. If so, then use it for me. Don't forget--money can conquer ghosts!

"Subordinates pay homage to Da Sima - do your best and swear allegiance to the death!"

Hearing the second gift in return, the businessman couldn't sit still immediately, and paid respects again, the last time it was Da Sima, this time it was to meet the lord!

Becoming a guest of the Marquis of Wushou's Mansion is of great benefit to the merchants, not to mention being close to a big tree, it is also very honorable. From now on, you don't need to ride in an ox cart, but replace it with a beautiful carriage, and then decorate it with the Marquis Mansion. 'Sirius logo', absolutely cowhide... As for the amount of donations, let's double it!

"The third gift in return. If there are outstanding talents among your nephews, I can decide to send them to Zhengming Academy for further studies!"

Xiao Yi pointed to the model of the school, just like later generations, as a parent, spending money to send their children to a good school is also considered an investment in education!

"Da Sima, Da En Dade, is our biological parents, reborn parents!"

"The villain is willing to donate [-] yuan to support the construction of the school... The villain donates [-] yuan, just to send a few more children to study!"

"It's worth going bankrupt! ... The villain donated [-] gold, and then donated another [-] gold every year, just so that the children and grandchildren can be reborn and be able to embark on official careers!"

............................................................

The merchants didn't kneel down, but prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing their bodies to the ground. In their minds, they already regarded Xiao Yi as a god!

Merchants are not allowed to be officials. This has been the rule of the Han family for hundreds of years. Even the fatuous Emperor Ling of Han would not sell official positions to businessmen. Therefore, although they have millions of wealth, their social status is very low, and they can only do business. Slaughtered fat sheep!

It’s different now, where is the Zhengming Academy, there are hundreds of schools teaching, and students from all over the world gather, those who come out of there will surely have a smooth career and become a prime minister, and their children can get rid of their status as merchants and become imperial courts if they enter for further studies. Officials!

Taking a step back, even if the younger ones can't become officials, their classmates will be court officials in the future. With mutual help, they can live in prosperity and wealth for a lifetime. This business is really profitable... As for donating money Quadruple the number!

..........................................

................................................

Accepting so many donations, Xiao Yi was also smiling, and immediately hosted a banquet in the lobby to treat the businessmen well. After they were full, he served tea to see off the guests, and asked the housekeeper Song Zhong to send everyone out of the door...

After the merchants left, Xiao Yi took out a stack of 'gold donation documents', calculated carefully, and finally got an astonishing figure... 64 gold, enough to hold ten contests and support the school for several years!

Chapter 932

The speed of the merchants' work was extremely fast. At nightfall on the second day, the donations from 43 wealthy merchants were sent to the warehouse of the Hou Mansion through the back door. Including the income from selling tickets, the total amount was more than [-] gold. The accumulation was like a hill. A fortune!
