Datang romantic little landlord

After being refuted by Wang Renyou, Li Er was not annoyed, but looked at Zheng Yuanshou and the others with a half-smile, and said casually: "In this case, I will not force it. But since I know about this gold mine, I will sell it." Let me tell you. This is Master Zhengdao? How much do you pay for the gold mine of Xingguo Temple? I bought it!"

The monk Zhengdao hesitated again and again, and bowed down again: "Your Majesty, this gold mine is the property of Xingguo Temple, and the poor monk will not sell it. Just now, the poor monk has negotiated with all the nobles, and the poor monk will borrow [-] catties of gold from the nobles. Cast a golden body for my Buddha, and repay the principal and interest with the gold produced from the gold mine."

Hearing this, Li Er couldn't help frowning, raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Li Wangyou.

"Ziyou, tell me, what is going on?"

Li Wangyou rubbed his nose with a sneer, and ignored the extremely ugly expressions of Zheng Yuanshou and the others, and recounted the incident in detail, as well as the results of everyone's discussion with the monk just now.

After Li Er heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll just borrow the gold from the master. I'm sure I can still get one hundred thousand catties of gold, and the master doesn't need to borrow money from the princes anymore. "

Zheng Yuanshou and the others were even more annoyed. This Li Er was so ruthless that he actually wanted to swallow the proceeds from the gold mine in one gulp. How could their aristocratic families be willing?

692 A Group of Gluttonous

Zheng Yuanshou, Wang Renyou and the others had only one thought in mind at this time, which was to prevent Li Er from taking food from their mouths.

So what if Li Ergui is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?The five surnames and Qiwang are not vegetarians either.

"Your Majesty, the master and we have already negotiated, how can we break our word?"

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, how can he compete with the people for profit?"

Zheng Yuanshou, Wang Renyou, Cui Xin and the others spoke out one after another, and the meaning behind what they said was naturally that they did not want Li Er to intervene.

Li Er frowned slightly, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Zhu Qing didn't sign and write a letter with the master, why can't I participate? What's the reason?"

Zheng Yuanshou and the others were speechless, but Li Wangyou persuaded him: "Uncle, it is true that the princes and the master have spoken beforehand, why don't we all take a step back. Uncle also got a share in it? I also took out some gold to lend to the master. ,how?"

Zheng Yuanshou and the others looked at each other, and although they didn't want to, they could only nod helplessly.Everyone knows that if Li Er buys another share, the gold they will be able to distribute from the gold mine in the future will be less.

Li Er nodded slightly, but said again: "Since this is the case, I won't force others to do what I want, and I will only take one share in this matter, but Fang Gong and Du Gong also naturally need to take a share in it. Well, then Count twelve shares, 8 catties of gold, and each family will give out [-] taels. Dear dear friends, what do you think?"

Although Zheng Yuanshou and the others were unwilling to Li Er's golden words, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.

8 taels of gold, they can get it out, and they don't have to raise money everywhere.It's just that the income from the gold mine will drop a lot in the future, which makes Zheng Yuanshou and the others feel the most uncomfortable.

But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.

Zheng Yuanshou and the others were also afraid that there would be more troubles, don't wait for any officials and nobles to find out about this, they would really be caught blind.

Therefore, in the Daxiong Hall of Xingguo Temple, the county magistrate of Duqu County witnessed that Li Er and the others wrote down the documents for lending gold, and used the seal and painting to sign the matter, which was considered to be a formal confirmation of the matter.

Including Li Er, everyone was led by the monk again, but the tunnel behind the temple witnessed it with their own eyes.

Indeed, as reported by Buqu in their mansion, the nearly [-]-meter-long tunnel was illuminated by torches, and the walls were covered with all kinds of golden dazzling lights. Obviously, these were gold ores.

After seeing the mine with their own eyes, everyone no longer had any doubts.

"Master, three days later, we will send the gold to Xingguo Temple. However, the old man has said beforehand that the gold must be under the supervision of our Fuzhong Buqu at any time. Even if the golden Buddha is cast in the future and the gold is used, it must be done by I'll wait for the supervisor of the central part of the Fuzhong, does the master have any objections?" Zheng Yuanshou instructed the Zhengdao monk.

The monk bowed and replied: "Amitabha, the poor monk naturally has no objection, so it is the safest way. The poor monk is also worried that so much gold is piled up in the temple, attracting prying eyes from Xiaoxiao. It is naturally best if you have noble people to send someone to guard it. "

"Very good, then the old man and others will not disturb the master's cultivation. After three days, gold will be delivered."

Zheng Yuanshou and the others looked at each other and bowed to Li Er before taking their leave.

Today's trip to Xingguo Temple was really beyond the expectation of these aristocratic elders, and it felt a little hard to describe in words.

I originally thought that a gold mine could be easily taken away, but I didn't expect it to become a loan of gold in exchange for gold mine income.

But the reason why Zheng Yuanshou and the others agreed to this matter was that on the one hand, they were reluctant to part with the huge benefits that the gold mine might generate;If the monks of Xingguo Temple can steal gold from the many trilogy of five surnames and Qiwang, as well as the palace guards sent by His Majesty, it would be called hell.

Although the effort was not small, the trip was not in vain. Zheng Yuanshou and the others were very satisfied with this.

After all, if the gold mine can steadily produce enough gold every year in the future, it will be enough for the family to make a lot of money.

After the five surnames Qiwang said goodbye and left, Li Er suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Haha, as you expected, Ziyou, these gluttons have really entered the urn. Tsk tsk, 8 taels of gold, Zheng Gong, If the princes and the others knew the truth, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood, right?"

Cheng Yaojin also laughed and said, "Wow, hahaha, I've been acting for half a day. If I lose 8 taels of gold, even if I have five surnames and seven wangs, I'm afraid I will lose my skin."

In the Daxiong Palace, everyone laughed, even the righteous monk and his lay disciple Lin Yang.

Obviously, the so-called gold mine and the borrowing of gold are nothing more than a game set up against the aristocratic family.

The gold mine is of course non-existent, it was just a deception set up by Li Wangyou and his beautiful boss to get revenge on the family.

The righteous monk was clearly the monk Wen Zai that Li Wangyou found in Jianfu Temple that day, and Lin Yang was naturally Lin Daniu.

At the beginning, Monk Wen Zai cheated Li's family of 200 taels of gold in Hu County, and he was under the pseudonym Zhengdao.

And this Xingguo Temple is indeed the place where Monk Wen Zai once practiced.

The reason why all kinds of false appearances were created in this Xingguo Temple was also suggested by Monk Wenzai.

The stone mountain behind Xingguo Temple naturally does not have any gold mines.

That tunnel was just a hiding place dug by the monks of Xingguo Temple in order to avoid the military disaster during the chaos of the previous dynasty.

The reason why everyone entered the room just now, and the stone walls shone like gold ore under the light of the torches, was that Li Wangyou and the others had smeared gold powder on the stone walls.

And those mining tools in the cave, as well as the scattered ore, were deliberately placed there, just to deceive the aristocratic family into being fooled.

The gold ore is naturally real gold ore, but it is the ore that Li Er ordered people to carefully select from the gold mines belonging to the court, and the ore has excellent performance.

As for the dog head gold and gold sand sold in the gold and silverware shop of Wuxing Qiwang, the same is true. They are all produced in other gold mines. "Attracts aristocratic families.

Its purpose is to defraud the so-called "loaned" gold from the hands of the aristocratic family.

This was the plan that Li Wangyou discussed with Li Er, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui in the bathroom of the Li residence that day.

This kind of thing that can make the family suffer a lot and earn a fortune, Li Er agreed without hesitation.

But Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and the others followed Li Er's lead.Anyway, even if the plan fails, if the aristocratic family sees through the tricks, there is no loss, so why not do it?

When everyone laughed, Li Wangyou said with a smile: "Uncle, it's too early to be happy. After three days, it is unknown whether the family will really send the gold."

Li Er waved his hand: "Ziyou, don't worry. As long as I and Zhijie give away gold, these aristocratic families will definitely be fooled. Hmph, don't I know them yet? They are just a bunch of gluttons, how can I let go of such an opportunity. I can’t wait to see how those aristocratic families will behave when the gold disappears in the future.”

When everyone heard the words, there was another burst of laughter...

693 Ponzi scheme

The scheme Li Wangyou set up for the aristocratic family actually borrowed the concept of the most famous Ponzi scheme in later generations.

Ponzi scheme is the name of investment fraud in the financial field.

In short, it is to use the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term returns to old investors, so as to create the illusion of making money and defraud more investment.
