end.As soon as he spoke, over ten guards behind him immediately drew their weapons.Seeing this, the Dongchang Jinyiwei immediately surrounded them, each placing their hand on the hilt of their swords....Chapter 524: Liu Jiahao's Gamble
Liu Sida's eyes were shining, and his words were encouraging.
“So I agree with little sister...and also the master of the house's opinion, to sell all assets and property except for salt transport, raise funds, and invest in the money-lending business!”
Having said that, Liu Sida continued to advise earnestly: "My friends, doing business big but not refined is useless. Even if you only do one industry, like the famous Six Must-Visit Restaurants in Beijing that make pickles and sauces, they only sell a few kinds of pickles and sauces, yet they can still earn 100,000 taels of silver annually. Why Because they have specialized in one industry."
"Our Liu family, we don't need so many industries. All the textiles and silks can be given up. As long as we control salt transportation and money houses, relying on the support of the Eastern Palace, then we won't have to fear anything!"
These words would be fine coming from anyone else, but it's particularly jarring coming from Liu Sidar, who was previously known for being the most carefree and dissolute of them all.
That's precisely why it is so moving.
Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Liu Sichun slowly spoke, "Second brother is right, and this is exactly what I wanted to say. Everyone, let's do it this way."
"Silver, it can't be earned enough. If the Liu family wants to truly settle down and pass down for a hundred years, then relying on this business in their hands is not enough. For example, before, if the officials wanted to kill us, they would just kill us. Just a random yamen officer showing up, we had to serve them well and smile."
Now that we've thrown our lot in with the Eastern Palace, which government office dares to come and extort us They all fawn over us now.
So don't say these funds are an investment in the money lending firm. Even if our Liu family owned nothing, we would still have to contribute, because when a sword is at your throat, is money more important or life
Liu Sichun let out a soft sigh and continued, “As for what you said earlier about going to the East Palace to bargain, I'll pretend I didn't hear it this time. If there's a next time, don't blame me, my family law is ruthless. I will definitely expel this person from the Liu family gate, because this is what would lead to the extinction of our Liu family!”
A single sentence, uttered with finality, brought the entire room to a stunned silence.
"Alright, it's settled. Everyone go back and make preparations."
After sending the other clan members away, Liu Sichun said to his second brother, "Stay a while."
After everyone else had left, Liu Sichun turned to Liu Sida and said, "Thanks, second brother, for covering for me just now."
Liu Sida knew this was polite talk and smiled, saying: "You and I are like siblings, there's no need for so many thanks. Besides, this is a good thing, something we naturally should do."
"Isn't Second Brother afraid that if something happens, everything the Liu family has will be gone" asked Liu Sichun.
"Scared, aren't you How could you not be scared"
"Liu Sidar laughed heartily and said, 'But I'm more afraid that the Liu family will lose Donggong as a backer.'"
He pursed his lips and said, "During that time at the royal hunting ground, I was so focused on growing sweet potatoes, afraid of losing my head, but it was also during this time that I saw many things clearly."
"In this world, no amount of money can overcome power."
"The powerful people don't care about money, and they don't need it. But when they work, they make the people under them comfortable, and for that, they need money. So who manages the money It has to be people like us."
"From salt transport, sweet potatoes, to now the money exchange, it can be seen that our Prince is ambitious and far-sighted. He certainly won't mistreat those who are still useful to him, such as the Liu family. That's why the Liu family gets so many benefits for doing things for the prince."Chapter 408: Wang Teng Emerges from the Depths
