Seven days later, a group of people finally arrived at Xingqing Prefecture.
They stopped and walked all the way, and not only Li Chixiang, but even the ordinary people in the team did not have the urgency to hurry on.
Even though there was heavy snow falling from the sky, everyone was very confident. On the way back, not a single person was killed. This was a miracle for people who had been walking this route for many years.
All this is thanks to the sufficient preparations Lu Chen made for them. Many people privately said that the national teacher of Da Qi is truly a god!
On the day Li Chixiang came back, there was a great deal of commotion outside Xingqing Mansion. Not only were the young people standing there eagerly waiting, but even the patriarchs of some large families were craning their necks to watch.
The young people were waiting here because they knew that Li Chixiang would come back with a lot of new and interesting gadgets. These things were the most popular and trendy in Da Qi.
These people were Li Chixiang's former friends in Xingqing Prefecture, all of them were playboys.
The patriarchs of those big families are waiting here because Li Chixiang will bring the latest business news and new ways to make money.
In short, Li Chixiang has now become a hot commodity in the eyes of the entire Xixia upper class.
If it weren't for his own identity, Li Yingxiao would even want to run out to greet Li Chixiang.
Since the patriarchs of those big families are here, Li Chixiang naturally has to communicate with them first.
It was really tiring for him, a grown man, to flatter these old guys.
"Hahaha, my dear nephew, when you were little, I thought you were extraordinary in appearance and had unlimited potential. Now I see that it is true. I am really happy for your ancestors." This kind of person relies on his age to bully others.
"My dear nephew, your father and I have known each other for a long time. If you find any good ways to make money, don't forget your uncle!" This is the kind of person who tries to establish good relations right away.
"My dear nephew, you are not a child anymore, it's time for you to get married. I have a daughter at home. I can't say she is a fairy, but at least she is as beautiful as a flower. If you have time, you may come to visit me." This is the kind of gangster who has no friendship with anyone, so he can only try to create one.
Li Chixiang was filled with mixed feelings. He thought back to when he was in Xingqing Prefecture and no one paid any attention to him. But now, every family he went to was a guest of honor.
All this is thanks to my brother! Li Chixiang's gratitude towards Lu Chen increased a lot.
Li Chixiang bowed to everyone present and said, "My dear uncles and brothers, I am honored to be here. I have hurried back this time because I have many important things to convey to you and I also have some business to discuss with you."
The old man who had just said he wanted to introduce his daughter to Li Chixiang hurriedly stroked his beard and said, "Okay, okay, my dear nephew, you are so thoughtful. Let's not stand at the city gate anymore. Let's go in quickly. I'm having a banquet at my house today. Everyone, come and listen to what's going on in Da Qi recently."
At the banquet, after a few drinks, Li Chixiang, who was originally a little reserved, began to let himself go.
(Please assume you are drunk for the following conversation)
"Everyone! Listen to me, the best times have arrived! Guess what good news I'm bringing back this time? Increased perfume production? That's all old news! Brand new products? When will Da Qi release a brand new product?"
"Alright, alright, stop guessing. Even if you rack your brains, you still can't figure out what Da Qi has come up with!"
"Central Bank, yes! It's called the Central Bank! What do you think? Doesn't the name sound impressive?"
"What is the role of this central bank? Borrowing money, lending money! Borrowing money like crazy!"
"Of course, if that's all, then it's meaningless. Ordinary banks can do the same thing. The key point is that they can not only lend money to ordinary people, but also to the country. Not only can the Great Qi court borrow money from them, but even our Western Xia can borrow money from them."
"How is it? Isn't it very bold?"
"Before I left, my brother told me to make sure I made these things clear. If you're ever short on money, you can apply for a loan from the Central Bank. As long as your credit is acceptable, you can borrow as much as you want, and it'll last you forever!"
"When my brother said that, we were all so excited! Everyone was so excited!"
"Neighboring countries! They can all get loans, and the interest rate is only three times a year! One approval, and the loan will last forever. Isn't that bold!"
"Do you know what this means? This means we can use Da Qi's money to run our own business. Tell me, is there such a good thing in the world?"
"What? You think you're still at a disadvantage by paying interest? Ugh! Do you even have any shame left? How can you say such a thing? Fine, fine, you don't have to lend it to me. Don't ever borrow money. Don't ever make me look down on you!"
"My brother said that the roads in Xixia are not very good, which seriously affects the speed of logistics. It takes too long to transport goods from Daqi to Xixia, and the cost on the road is too high. Therefore, we must build roads, and we must build them vigorously."
"Brother also said that we should be nice to the people below. The people are also wealth. They can help us create wealth. Are you willing to let the good serfs starve to death?"
"So we have to build a reservoir. Even if we don't consider the people below, we will still need water for the flower farm in the future."
"From now on, Xixia will be positioned as a cargo transshipment center. We need to take over some of Daqi's industries and let them help us prosper together."
