"What big move?"
Li Shimin was shocked.
He had always wondered why Zhang Feng was so against Guan Long.
But now he understood.
And he also understood why Zhang Feng was not in a hurry to enter the Imperial Court. It was not that he did not want to go, but he was worried!
He also deeply hated Guan Long, but he could not find an opportunity to kill him. He had doubts in his heart. Now he finally understood why Zhang Feng was so determined to kill Guan Long!
This guy was a coward. If Guan Long was not killed, he did not plan to enter the Imperial Court!
Li Shiming couldn't help but recall what Zhang Feng had said about the cooperative, as well as what he had said about preparing a big move.
"Brother Zhang Feng, you said you planned to kill Guan Long before entering the Imperial Court. Are you going to rely on this sea trade?"
Zhang Feng shook his head.
Obviously, he was talking too much.
"I'll cook it for you! What about this matter? In fact, I've been planning since the beginning of the salt-making technique. But this Zhen La was just an accident. Even if he did not meet me, he would have established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty. It's just that I made a lot of money for you and me! "
"But have you ever thought about how you will establish trade routes without goods?"
Li Shimin stroked the beard on his chin and nodded slightly.
"You're right, but this …"
"You want to talk about the cooperative, right? Do you think Guan Long's people will take advantage of it? "
"Yes!"
Li Shimin nodded with a solemn face.
"With Guan Long's financial resources and power, it's inevitable that they will not do this. If I do this, won't he be accumulating wealth? Instead, it will help them this time? "
Zhang Feng smiled.
Pointing at himself, he said with a smile, "Lao Li, who do you think made this thing?"
"You!"
"That's right!"
"This is made by Lao Tzu. Do you think I, Zhang Feng, will lose out?"
Li Shimin pursed his lips.
It would be great if you could suffer a loss.
"That's it. Our Zhang Feng is not only here with our brothers, but also here in my neighborhood. This is all because Lao Tzu is willing!"
"So, Guan Long? Who does he think he is! Right? I'll let him take advantage of me, right? "
Zhang Feng said it very arrogantly, but Li Shimin had to nod and admit it.
Zhang Feng was really good to the people he trusted.
But, outsiders?
Goodbye!
Take his tavern for example.
Although he was lazy, he could also do a good job in the pub, but he just wouldn't do it!
Such delicious food, he would rather let the slaves eat it than use it to make money. Why?
Just because of his words, "You can't buy my willingness with money!"
Sometimes, Li Shimin really admired Zhang Feng.
But this time, he couldn't understand Zhang Feng. He asked, "Then why did you make such a big fuss about this cooperative?"
"You don't understand, right?"
Zhang Feng smiled slyly.
"Old Li, take a guess. Who's the one running this cooperative in the end?"
"The Emperor!"
"That's right!"
Zhang Feng patted the back of Li Shimin's head.
"You taste it! You taste it! Don't worry! "
After saying that, he took the bowl of wine and drank happily.
Li Shimin, however, was deeply shocked.
Was there a need to think about it?
He was the one running this cooperative!
And this cooperative, as well as the production of the banknotes, were all done by him personally. How could he not know?
But he still couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand the twists and turns.
Li Shimin couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhang Feng, I still don't quite understand what you're talking about. Although the Emperor is in charge of this cooperative, but … what's the difference?"
"There's a big difference!"
Zhang Feng sighed.
"Lao Li, you're lucky you didn't become an official. Otherwise, you'd still be counting money for others after being sold!"
Li Shimin's mouth twitched.
"Brother Zhang Feng, let's not talk about this, okay?"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Then let's talk about this. This is the Emperor's idea. Think about it, why does the Emperor want to do it himself?"
"That's because the Emperor wants to centralize power!"
"As long as all the wealth in the world is in his hands, coupled with his power, think about it. He has money and power. What is he afraid of?"
"This …"
Li Shimin was shocked.
While Li Shimin was stunned, Zhang Feng continued, "Brother! Think about the banknotes from before. Are they not legal? They're gone just like that? "
"But these banknotes are personally issued by the Emperor. Think about it. As a businessman, which one would you be interested in?"
"One is issued by an aristocratic family, and the other is issued by the government. Which one would you choose?"
"When the time comes, as long as the maritime trade starts, the Emperor can wave his hand and refuse to accept any banknotes that aren't issued by the government. Do you think Guan Long can sit still?"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid that those businessmen will tear him apart alive!"
"Moreover, this is only the initial stage of my plan!"
At this point, Zhang Feng's voice paused.
He whispered into Li Shimin's ear, "Lao Li, remember my big move. Don't tell anyone!"
"Don't worry!"
Li Shimin was excited.
He wanted to hear what other big moves Zhang Feng had!
Zhang Feng said word by word, "When I enter the court, I must give the Emperor a big gift. And this gift is the thing that will completely destroy Guan Long!"
"What thing?"
"The bank!"
