Chapter 1733 The Traitor Prince

Although the few princes in this room are not willing to pay, they also know that this bank is their most important asset, although the recent days have been a little bit bad, and they have brought them little money A lot, but this place can give most of them millions of gold coins every month, so it is still very important here, but let them spend millions or even It may be impossible for tens of millions of gold coins to come here. Their money is not in their hands at all, and their money stays in their hands for no more than a few days. Some of them will use their own money to enjoy and squander. In short, they will not do serious things, especially a few "excellent" children among them. There is no way to get this money.

"Well... well, isn't there still a lot of working capital in this bank? We just need to quickly get back some of the money released. We don't need to take the money out. I think we will let our dividends this year It’s fine if you don’t take it, there are hundreds of millions of gold coins.” Huang Er Er didn’t want to talk at first, but thinking that he was going to get such a large sum of money, this is not a joke, this is not to sell his own blood Well, even though I am a prince, I also have a salary of one million gold coins every year, but what can I do with that money, let alone other things, I have to pay thousands of gold coins for a casual meal. Just eating for myself and my wives is worth millions of gold coins. It turns out that there were not so many when there was no tea. Now this tea is a symbol of the upper class, even if you don’t like to drink it But people drink it. If you don’t drink it, they will laugh at you because you can’t afford it, and don’t tell them that you don’t like it at all. Everyone thinks tea is a good thing. You don’t The reason for drinking is that you cannot afford it, and there is no other reason. This mansion also consumes tens of catties of tea a year, which is not a small amount. Besides, besides the family members in the mansion, I am willing to go to the theater to find some friends for a while if I have nothing to do. For something that costs little money, you have to throw tens of thousands of gold coins every time you go there, or you will lose face for your prince. If I take out these thousands of gold coins, let alone drink tea. It is a bit difficult for me to eat, of course I will not starve myself to death, after all, I am a prince, and all the supplies are provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but if I want to eat and drink well, it seems a bit impossible , the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not reimburse you for that.

"Second, let me tell you, you can mess around with other things. You have to give me your share tomorrow morning, otherwise you don't want to get a penny from here. If someone wants If you withdraw the shares, it doesn't matter, I will give you ten times the amount I took out at the beginning, and then get out immediately, this prince's alliance has no place for you anymore. There is no place for you in this place." The fourth prince was about to go out When I heard what the second son of the emperor said, I immediately became angry. Damn it, it's you useless things that occupy so much money in the bank. Usually, the profits are huge, so I just turn a blind eye Those who close one eye will not care about you. Who knows that each of you is going too far, you don't know how to restrain yourself, and you don't even know what time it is, you're about to hit the house, and you're still calculating your own gains and losses.

Originally, the other princes wanted to say a few words, but they didn't dare to speak immediately after hearing what the fourth son said, and everyone knew that the prince was gone. The fourth child is the most powerful faction. Although the seventh child can be regarded as a popular candidate for the prince, since Li Cong made a vote for the prince, the official election of the good guy has not started yet. spread it all,

Many people said that it was impossible to choose the seventh son of the emperor, not for other reasons. When his own brother had an accident, this guy had nothing to do with it, let alone others. Others were not the object of his concern, so many No one dares to follow this guy, and the fourth emperor became a very popular candidate. Concubine Wen Yi was born. Although his biological mother is no longer there, his aunt is now the seat of the noble concubine. , the contacts in the palace are also very good, besides, this guy’s grandfather Yu Guogong can be said to be the number one among the princes. This guy has been the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for 30 years. Impossible thing, it is false to say that he is full of peaches and plums, this guy is absolutely powerful, and he will give the fourth son a lot of points.

"Yes, what the fourth brother said is that what we want at this time is to help each other. I don't care what you do. Anyway, I will definitely help. Although this bank does not have my shares, I have five million gold coins under my hand. I'll get it right away when I go back." Lao Qi is very good at being a good person at this time, he is so deep even if he doesn't have a share, if other people still shirk, this is too inhuman. They all hated Lao Qi so much that they wanted to bite him. When the crown prince was around, even if the empress rewarded him with something, he would cover it up. After all, the crown prince is the eldest son of the empress empress. It is absolutely impossible to give it to my youngest son.

Everyone knows that recently, the empress has given this guy a lot of rewards. They have known about it several times, and each time they don't give a million gold coins. They don't have these things, even though they see the queen. I want to call her mother, but can the name on the mouth be the same as the real blood relationship? It's definitely different. Taking these things as an example, the seventh prince can easily take out five million gold coins, but what about the other princes? There are good things in the house, but you want them to go out and pawn them? This is not a joke. If this matter is really going out, it will be a joke.

These princes all went out and started to collect money, but none of them knew that the instigator of this incident was watching their actions cheerfully. Li Cong still knew how to deal with these princes. Some time ago If it weren't for the affairs of the Southern Empire, Li Cong would not have let them develop so laissez-faire. This hijacking incident was definitely not done by Li Cong's people. All of Li Cong's people stayed in the imperial capital honestly. In the last two days after the incident, people in the prince's mansions were all over the empire looking for the murderer. At first they thought it was Li Cong who did it, so most of them were staring at Li Cong. But Li Cong's people didn't move at all, and they didn't believe that Li Cong had organized such a reliable group of people in such a short period of time, so they gradually lost doubts about Li Cong. Maybe Li Cong really didn't do this thing. Others may not know how rich Li Cong is, but they are very clear. I know how many times, so Li Cong would not do such a thing to take risks, but if it weren't for Li Cong, there are only a handful of people in the imperial capital who are capable of solving a team of 2,000 people so quickly. They began to suspect and investigate one by one. The people and things involved are not one or two, so they are devastated every day, and they can't find North soon.

"Have they all left? In fact, they should not be asked to do this matter. It is a bit risky. After all, compared with the major events of the Southern Empire, this small matter is simply too insignificant." Li Cong said in his back garden Li said to Lao Yang.

"My lord, they did things very neatly. When the prince of the Southern Empire was leaving, I told him the news. The princes of our empire also have very powerful people around them. It's just that they have mental calculations but don't care. The chances of winning have increased a lot. After two days of ambush in Tiger Gorge, those people were found. They were all ruthless. Even our people are not half as good as them. We will deal with these people in the future It’s better to be careful. It’s been two days now, and they handed over the money to us near the border of the imperial capital administrative region. Our people also gave them a gold ticket of 60 million gold coins. Speaking of this business, we are a bit at a loss, and we can do these gold coins by ourselves, why should we give them 60 million gold coins?" Lao Yang said depressedly, in his opinion, the manpower in his mansion is much more than that. The Crown Prince of the Southern Empire is very powerful. It is also very easy to kill them. Who knows that the prince didn't ask his own people to do it. Of course, Lao Yang couldn't see so many people. One person will be found too. It is not so easy to deal with a team of 2,000 people, so we can only let the Crown Prince of the Southern Empire handle this matter. From their point of view, this is a matter of convenience. The crown prince of the Southern Empire has a big deal to do after returning home. Tens of millions of gold coins may not be able to help him, but he can definitely do a lot of things, so in the old After Yang told him the news, this guy didn't have any delay, and set off with his own people. Fortunately, things went very smoothly. Otherwise, Li Cong's dozens of counties and cities would not know where to find him. Who is going to ask for it.

"Hehe, if you want to make the horse run, you have to feed him. Although the crown prince of the Southern Empire may not care much about the money, but you give them this news, which is also a disguised way to let this guy know our strength. , we are the strongest in the Northern Empire, we can even get important news from the princes, isn't this a proof of our strength? Only in this way, that guy is willing to cooperate with us, otherwise, every day I don’t know how much power will be consumed internally if I doubt it. If dozens of princes can unite, how can we succeed? That person is here? I want to see what this guy’s mind is like, really Interesting, I ask myself that I can’t be wrong when looking at people, but this person makes me unable to see through. Although we monitor the empire very strictly, we still didn’t notice the money. If it wasn’t for this kid giving us this Important information, it is impossible for us to make this alliance of princes fight against each other so quickly. Speaking of which, my original plan was to use this alliance of princes to fight, but now it seems that it is unnecessary." Li Cong said with a smile, The most people in this world are internal traitors. This princely alliance is so powerful that I need to back down a bit. I also thought about using alienation tactics to get myself a few internal supporters, but I never thought that it is expensive. They, the proud sons, would actually betray their brothers and beg for mercy from an outsider. There are too many unexpected things.

"My lord, the people have arrived, and I have already been brought to the waiting room, my lord is going to go there soon?" Lao Yang looked at the sun, didn't he say he was going to stretch this guy? Now it seems that I have given this guy too much face in the past. This guy is very famous in the imperial capital and even in the entire empire. This guy is the second son of the emperor, Long Wu. Since he was angry, even the old man who was responsible for the dragon was beaten up. I didn't expect that this guy would become Li Cong's internal response in the Prince's Alliance. Things are really changing.

"You go first, I'll go there later, good tea is waiting for you, our prince is a person who enjoys it, but I don't know why this kid came, this matter needs to be weighed carefully." Li Cong seemed to be talking to himself. Generally, when encountering such a thing, Lao Yang would ignore Li Cong, since he was in his own garden anyway. Li Cong can do whatever he wants. There are so many beautiful maids within 50 meters. Li Cong can do whatever he wants. Guaranteed.

Speaking of the betrayal of the second son of the emperor, he himself didn't really believe it, but this guy didn't know how to do it. She just had a sense of joy to take revenge on the royal family, probably because his mother died in the royal strife. Although his mother is the number one girl in Bada Hutong. But the scheming is not very deep. In the very chaotic place of the palace, don’t say you have no scheming, even if the thought is not in place, you may be calculated by others. Unfortunately, his mother was calculated. A guy, go West Exit soon, since when. This kid has learned to pretend himself. Anyway, he is not qualified to be an emperor, so he started to mess around. The old emperor is also clear about what he did, but he doesn't care too much for the sake of his dead wife. Only then did Li Cong figure it out. Although this guy will often do some terrible things, but this guy is very good at grasping the scale. Generally speaking, although the things he does are people's grievances and pain, they will never reach the bottom line in the emperor's heart. For the young prince, just look at the emperor's face and let it go. If you rob someone's girl, just pull her over to be a daughter-in-law. Anyway, being able to marry a prince is considered a supreme honor. Although he is a useless prince, he is still a prince anyway, isn't he? There is still a very low probability of becoming the emperor, so although this kid is absurd, when he heard someone say something about him, the old emperor just laughed it off, and if it was very powerful, he would call someone to reprimand him Even if it was over, if he really punished this son, he still couldn't do it in his heart.

Huang Er Er looked at the things in Li Cong's reception room at this moment, and began to mutter in his heart. Didn't everyone say that the palace is rich and powerful? Why are the decorations in the room very ordinary? At home, everything in this house is priceless, but he was born in the royal family, and he has seen a lot of rare treasures since he was a child. Ordinary things will never enter the eyes of this kid. Li Cong's mansion is also an empty shelf, isn't it? That's right, it's a good thing and a bad thing for him to control the government. The good thing is that he can do everything according to his own ideas. The bad thing is that he can't do many things. Many profitable businesses have to be handed over. Without these There will be no money in the business, or the cost of Li Cong's fried tea is not as cheap as he said, it should be very powerful.

"Hehe, the second prince has come a long time ago. I'm really sorry. I have too many things to do recently. Fortunately, the second prince has helped me a lot. Otherwise, I might not be able to sleep well at night. , Your Highness, please drink tea." Li Cong came in and said with a smile, his expression was very natural, but the second prince on the side felt a little scared, Li Cong said that one of them is a noble prince, and the other is now The prince is now, but his identity is still not as valuable as the guy in front of him. It should be Li Cong who is afraid of this guy. I didn't expect that the matter is now reversed. There are still many things that people don't understand. The prince is an informer, so he should be regarded as the person who has the initiative. Li Cong is passive, and this situation should not happen. The reason for this situation may be the problem of the aura of these two people. One is afraid in his heart, and the other I think that the world is in my hands, and I don’t feel afraid of anyone when I see it. Let alone the prince, even your father has been killed by me long ago. Seeing that you have nothing to be afraid of, you are not qualified.

"My lord was joking. In fact, I just did a little help for many things. Other things are done so well because of the benefits of my lord's subordinates. Speaking of which, there is nothing I can do about it. As for that seat, on the surface it is said that our brothers can inherit it, but you have also seen that they have never regarded me as a real brother. They are the best at making things difficult for me. What a bullshit alliance of princes, but none of them came out to be the leader, and pushed me out. Who doesn't know that what the father hates the most is forming cliques, and they still want to push me out, This is obviously not letting me survive. My life was miserable when I was a child, you don’t know, my lord. My mother’s status is low, but she is not as capable as their mother, so she was killed by them not long after entering the palace. I was killed by the scourge, and it is a great miracle that I survived, ah, speaking of what happened back then, my heart..." Seeing that this guy is about to talk about the revolutionary history of that year , Li Cong hurriedly told this kid to stop, he usually looks at the kid carelessly. I didn't expect this guy to be really careful. I always find this guy to do serious things, but I didn't ask him to talk nonsense. If this kid continues to talk nonsense, I think he can tell it in a few hours.

"Ahem..., Your Highness, what happened to you back then was really tragic. I sympathize with you, I sympathize with you." When Li Cong finished speaking, the second prince on the side nodded, which would definitely bring tears to his eyes. When you come out, you don’t even think about it in your mind, you feel sympathetic before you say anything, what is there to sympathize with. "Your Highness, I asked you to come here today, but there is a serious matter. If you want to give them something good-looking, you have to do it in the actual situation. If you keep talking about it, it won't work. We are here After a while, they can still enjoy their own lives. They won’t have any losses at all, don’t you think so?” Li Cong said with a smile, this guy also nodded, the matter of fighting in the same room It is not advisable for others, but for the second prince, these younger brothers did not bring him the slightest bit of pain back then. They are all human beings. They betrayed them and united with outsiders to punish them. This kind of thing is much better than exercising on a woman's belly, and he feels refreshed.

"Yes, what the lord said is that I just thought of the previous things, which made me a little bit uncontrollable. Alas, I still can't control my mind. If the lord has a good way, just say it. I just said it." A rough man, it’s okay to go out to do errands or something, but I can’t do it well if I ask for some ideas, my mind is a little wandering.” The guy said, if there was such a person who said such a thing in the past, Li Cong must believe it, but after observing this guy for so long, if he still believes in this guy, then Li Cong himself has a brain problem. Such a person is obviously a guy who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. Such a person should be careful A little bit is better, this brother can be betrayed, he is definitely a character with no lower limit.

"I've seen the matter of the bank now, and you've covered it up very well for a few days. This is not possible, and you must work harder. As long as your bank goes bankrupt, many of you will be very concerned about this. The Alliance of Princes is alienated, as for how to make this thing go bankrupt, I don’t think I need to say more.” Li Cong said with a smile, it is quite difficult to do a good business, and do it well. But if you want to ruin a business, this is a very fast thing, and you may be able to ruin this business very quickly. In many cases, it is much easier to do bad things than to do good things.

"Hehe, the prince really found the right person for this matter. In fact, the business was good in the past, but the business of the prince was too strong. We had no way out when we came out. I am also a person who is used to enjoying it. If this Without the source of gold coins, my life is... alas..." This guy made a depressed look, how could Li Cong not understand, the topic here is to give this kid the same reward as last time, if If there is no pay, this guy will never stand up and do such a thing. After all, if Li Cong punishes him after he has done such a thing, it will not be a capital crime, but he will also be banned.

"I know that His Highness has lost a lot in recent actions. I have always been very talkative. How can I let the person who works for me suffer? This is a trivial matter. His Highness accepts it with a smile. If His Highness can close the bank, it’s okay to pay more.” Li Cong smiled and sent a golden ticket, and recently the money has been spent on a lot, especially those horses, but the money is very important to Li Cong It is said that it is very worthwhile to spend, just like the 20 million gold coins in front of you. That can make the people of the Prince Alliance lose more than ten times. This money is okay, and I can earn it back every two days. When the second prince saw this golden ticket, he was so happy that he didn’t even know his last name. He just betrayed a few of his brothers, but he didn't really do anything. This is the second time he got 20 million gold coins.

"How embarrassing is this. Hehe, I borrowed this money from the prince. It is true that there are too many wives and children in the family. This expense is really not a small amount. I think the prince has a lot of things to do, so I won't Excuse me, don't bother." The kid quickly picked up the money and was about to leave. Li Cong knew that there must be a place to spend money. If the old emperor knew that his son was such a virtuous man , I really don't know if I will faint. The 20 million gold coins are enough for this kid to squander for a while, and I won't give him money all the time. If you want money, it's okay. You must have useful news or something to give here, otherwise That's absolutely impossible. In many cases, the money is not so easy to give to you. Our money is not blown by the wind, is it? But the money given to this kid was really theirs that Li Cong robbed.

Huang Er Er went out cheerfully. Lao Yang sent this guy to the back door all the time. After seeing the guards at the door shaking their heads and signaling that there was no one around, this guy went out. Now at such a critical juncture, Li Cong should be more cautious when meeting him good. If this is seen by others, the life of the two of them will not be so easy. Li Cong's schedule today is one after another. He has just finished meeting with His Royal Highness, and more than a dozen editors from the newspaper over there have also arrived. Although the social status of literati in this society is very high, they all refer to those who study in Guozijian or Taixue. These editors are people who can only write and don't know much about articles, poems, songs, etc., so their social status is not very high, but what the newspaper says is not very profound, and they can Competent, this newspaper has been in operation for such a long time, and it is the first time for Li Congcai to meet these people who must be wooed, so naturally he has to have a good chat with them, or else they will do it for themselves in the future If I don’t do it, I will regret it at that time. The salaries of many editor-in-chiefs on earth are very high, and they are so high that it is surprising. There is no other reason. These editor-in-chiefs can give their bosses To create wealth, such people must definitely stay. It seems that the dozen or so editors in this room are the most promising people among the hundred and ten editors.

These people in the room also had various ambitions when they were young. These people also thought about passing the imperial examination to make themselves famous, so they started to bring their family's savings when they had little success. It is a pity that there is too much gap between their ideals and reality. This imperial capital cannot accept you if you are talented. A hundred or ten gold coins is not a lot in a small rural place, but in In the imperial capital, if you want to live with this little money, it is really impossible. Soon their ambitions will be worn down by this cruel life. Fengshui and other things can be regarded as a little bit of research, otherwise, would they all be starved to death? When Li Cong's newspaper office first started, they didn't think it was a good place. This kind of thing has developed so well, everyone is asking to go in like chicken blood. It turns out that these literati don't want to go in and work, because they are afraid of shame, but the salary of one hundred gold coins a month, if they are not tempted. I am really an idiot. The emperor’s pro-army only gets 300 gold coins a year, and they get 1,200 a year. What are they talking about? , Now a few months have passed, and the prize money alone has hundreds of gold coins. If I don’t take the imperial examination, my life is very good, and my pen name is also a little bit famous in the upper class. It's the best thing for a literati, who doesn't want to have a little reputation, now people come to ask to be their apprentices, you know they still have to be other people's apprentices a few months ago.

Lao Yang has been talking with these people for a long time, and Li Cong can’t call her over there until he’s done. Although these editors are important, they still have a certain gap compared with the second prince over there. , so Li Cong had to finish the affairs over there first, but Lao Yang was an official at the time, and he really didn't have much in common with these literati, and Lao Yang didn't think much of these things from the bottom of his heart. human. They are all wild literati found on the street. These people are not orthodox scholars. Why do you give them so much money? In fact, if you give them one-tenth of the price, many people will rush to buy them. He works in the newspaper office, but Lao Yang still has a very polite face on his face. These editors also know Lao Yang, who is a person who can see the sky in the emperor. The last time people from the Imperial Capital Administrative Office came to check their documents, they actually came to ask for money. These people are the ones they see the most on the street. These people are very powerful. If they resist a little bit, they will be pulled out and beaten up. In the end, they have no good end. Unfortunately, They didn't see such a situation this time. When Lao Yang went there, he directly asked that guy to find their chief, and beat their chief hard. When they saw that chief, he seemed to be a great person. the official. No matter how he got the master of the fifth rank, it would be a god to them, but that person didn't dare to raise his head in front of Lao Yang.

A butler in the palace is already so powerful, let alone the master of this family. They have all heard of the name of the regent. In the past, they felt that Li Cong would definitely be a majestic and very dignified man. Winners, but they don't have that kind of thinking at the moment. One by one, I saw that Li Cong was even younger than them. If these people had just arrived in the imperial capital, they might have believed in what Li Cong said about everyone being a family, brothers, etc. But now they all understand that this is just a polite word, the first prince of the dynasty. A group of people who just got food and clothing, are they a family? The emperor's daughter is in the same family with this person, and the rest of the people should forget it, it is simply impossible.

Li Cong also saw that they were uncomfortable, so he stopped going around in circles. In fact, sometimes, these people who play word games are more cunning than those politicians. Politicians still get fooled, but the time when these people are fooled is very rare. The newspapers are explaining some things about being cheated recently. It’s better not to say these things that have no effect. I guess they are disgusted by what they hear .

"Hehe, everyone, there are several reasons why I called you here today. The first one is that we haven't met each other. If something happened to you on the street, I might not even know you, but Now that we all know each other, you can just ask Lao Yang to help you with anything in the future. The second is that I heard that you live in a place that doesn’t have a number in the imperial capital. A courtyard in the imperial capital, although it is located in the southern district, is still very good, and the interior has already been remodeled, turning a big house into several small houses with three entrances. You can move in when you find the time , I have already fixed most of the things for you, just find a time to go in, good accommodation conditions can also make your life better in the future, and there is another issue about your future welfare and treatment , I’m going to modify it.” After Li Cong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, and Li Cong could see the expressions on the faces of these people. Living in the courtyard, there is also a courtyard with three entrances. The southern area is where ordinary people live, but the courtyards with two entrances are at least more than 100,000 gold coins, and the courtyards with three entrances cost more than 200,000 gold coins. Personally, this house alone is already worth millions of gold coins, and the prince is really generous.

"My lord, our treatment is already very good. We are now almost the same as some small officials in the Sixth Department of the Empire. There is no need to increase our salary." Chief Editor Wang Lunhai said, this guy is also a down-and-out scholar, But it can be said that he has contributed a lot to the typesetting of the newspaper. Recently, this guy has also been doing the marketing of the newspaper. Generally speaking, he has done a very good job.

"Yes, yes, our salary is already quite a lot, there is no need to increase it for us." Others also echoed, it's not that they are not greedy for money, it's just that their life changes too quickly Yes, they can't take it anymore.

"It's okay. The money you make is too little compared to mine. I'm going to sign a ten-year long-term contract with each of you. Within ten years, your salary this year will be 3,000 gold coins a year. Next year If you do not do anything wrong, you will be raised by one-tenth of your current wages every year. After five years, the house you live in can be transferred to your name. During this period, yours and your children’s Our newspaper office has undertaken all the weddings and funerals, by the way, Editor-in-Chief Wang, I heard from Lao Yang that you and a girl are going to talk about marriage, so I will ask Lao Yang to handle this matter for you in the afternoon." Li Cong He said with a smile, but Editor-in-Chief Wang's face did not show the happiness he should have, as if something happened.

"My lord, the childhood sweetheart of our editor-in-chief was...married into someone else's family, and she will come in tomorrow." Wang Lunhai really couldn't say it, but the only thing that can stop this matter is the lord. Others can't stop it at all, said a guy who is usually good with Wang Lunhai.

"That's it, Editor-in-Chief Wang, do you still like her? Can you tell me about your affairs?" Li Cong will be fine anyway. Since he wants to buy people's hearts, he has to make a gesture. It is not impossible to leave it to Lao Yang to do it, but the whole thing seems to be not very attentive, and it will not achieve the intended effect. The expression on Wang Lunhai's face has changed several times. When these people came I have said it all, this matter is a trivial matter to the prince, but it is a big matter to them, this opportunity is in front of me, as long as I say it myself, the prince will definitely give me a result Yes, but if I don't say it, I may never want to see her in my life.
