"Of course, no problem! In fact, my father had already discussed this matter with me when I came here.
As long as the road is built, it can play a huge role.
In addition, my business has frequent trade with the northern countries.
The cost of shipping goods alone is very high.
If the road is repaired, I can save a lot of transportation costs.
In addition, the imperial court also had to transport a large amount of food and fodder to the border every year.
There's no problem collecting the money from road construction."
Li Ye explained patiently.
Nangong You was still shocked: "You built the road, and you actually charge the court for using it?"
"Of course, anyone who walks, whether it's the imperial court transporting food or the royal ministers, must pay.
This is what my father promised me personally.
If this can't be done, I'm afraid no one will be willing to pay for road construction.
As long as the road is repaired, it will not only make it convenient for the court to transport supplies to the army.
Every year, a large number of cattle and sheep can be purchased from the grass market and transported here.
It will also be good for us." Li Ye said with a smile.
King Bing Xiang has fought wars all his life and knows nothing about business.
After listening to Li Ye's detailed explanation, I realized that there are so many twists and turns here.
Moreover, by building roads in the name of the court, Li Ye could actually gain the greatest benefits.
Surprised, Yu liked his son-in-law even more.
This is a smart move.
It can not only make merit to the court, but also gain benefits.
Ever since my daughter started living with Li Ye, I was quite worried at first.
As Li Ye's performance became more and more outstanding, even the King of the Side was extremely shocked.
Especially through the disaster relief incident, it can be seen that Li Ye is fully capable of inheriting the throne.
In addition, the emperor paid more and more attention to Li Ye.
King Bing Xiang also had an idea in his mind.
Since Li Ye is so smart and is his son-in-law, he will of course do his best to help him fight for the throne.
If Li Ye could become the emperor, his daughter would be the future empress, and he himself would become the father-in-law of the emperor.
This is an irresistible temptation for anyone.
"If it's really like you said, not only can I make money without spending any money, it's really a good thing."
Wang Nangongyou said with great satisfaction.
"Your Highness, why don't you join in? Once we defeat the enemy, we'll have the opportunity to transport goods, and we'll have more and more trade with them in the future.
The more people use the road, the more money will be made from building it.
It won’t take more than a few years to make the money, and you can even earn a lot of interest.”
Li Ye took the opportunity to persuade him.
We are all family from now on, so of course we have to help our own people.
"Your Majesty doesn't have much money, so let's not participate!"
Although she was very moved, she also trusted Li Ye very much.
But King Bingxiang never coveted money when leading his troops in battle, and almost all of his money was rewarded to his subordinates.
That's why he has such high prestige in the army.
In addition, he is old and has given up the real power, and has been idle at home in recent years.
All living expenses come from salaries and rewards from the emperor.
This amount of money is only enough for temporary living expenses.
The money I can come up with is limited.
Li Ye thought for a moment and said seriously, "If Your Majesty trusts me, you can mortgage the palace.
I know a money shop that doesn't pay much interest.
Mortgage it to a money house in exchange for cash to invest in road construction.
After deducting the interest, you can still make a lot of money."
The palace was bestowed by the emperor. It covers a large area and has a particularly good location. It is worth at least 700,000 or 800,000 taels of silver.
As long as it is mortgaged, it can indeed raise a lot of money.
King Bing Xiang was indeed a hero. He made up his mind immediately after just one look at Li Ye.
My son-in-law is a trustworthy person and he would never cheat me.
Besides, Li Ye's business ability is known throughout the capital, and there is no need to doubt it.
If you can't even trust his judgment, then no one can be trusted.
"Okay, since the king trusts you, I'll have someone use the land deed as collateral."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I promise you'll make a fortune!"
Li Ye was also very happy.
There are many considerations for doing this.
First of all, the prestige of the king in the capital is extremely high and he is a household name.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the god of war of the Dayuan Dynasty.
They all trust him very much.
If everyone knew that King Bingxiang invested money to build the road, it would definitely dispel many people's doubts.
They will also invest money together.
Secondly, since we plan to issue silver notes and build a bank, what we need most now is fame.
The fact that King Bing Xiang took out so much silver at once would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Knowing that he had mortgaged his house to buy his own money, his reputation could also be revealed.
In the future, more people will use money houses as collateral to borrow money, or deposit their silver in money houses.
The business of money houses will grow bigger and bigger.
Of course, building roads is always a sure-win business.
It can also allow the King of Side by Side to make a lot of money.
This is much more effective than giving money directly.
Li Ye then explained to Nangong You the operation of Qianzhuang and the huge income from road construction.
This shocked Nangong You.
The more I feel, the more unusual my future son-in-law is.
What was once a huge burden on the imperial court could actually be turned into a good business to make money.
Moreover, both the people and the court can benefit from it.
He looked at Li Ye with even greater respect and liked him more and more.
After today's court session, I'm afraid all officials think that Li Ye was a sucker.
Even many officials were afraid that Li Ye would come to their homes and ask them to pay, so they avoided him.
Little did they know that Li Ye had already started preparing to make a fortune in silence.
The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.
Nangong You patted Li Ye's shoulder and said something meaningful: "Ruyue is in your hands from now on. You must never let her suffer any grievances."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will treat him well for the rest of my life!" Li Ye reacted and quickly stood up straight, answering with a serious face.
Nangong You nodded in appreciation: "Well, you must have worked very hard on this journey.
Go and have a rest quickly!"
"yes!"
Li Ye agreed, feeling extremely excited.
This means that the King has completely agreed that he should be with Princess Ruyue.
After watching King Bingxiu get on the carriage, he walked towards his own carriage.
Xiao Cui came forward to greet him: "Your Highness, please get in the carriage. I bought some food to fill my stomach first."
"Let's eat together!" Li Ye was in a very good mood and invited Xiao Cui and Lin Yue to sit in front of him.
Seeing Li Ye's face full of joy that could not be concealed, Lin Yue couldn't help but teasingly said, "Your Highness is so happy, it seems that the conversation with the King of Side by Side went very smoothly.
Tell us what's good!"
“Hey, you girl already saw it, and you’re still asking on purpose!
"Of course, I've already got the approval of the King of Pi Bing Xiang, who is willing to betroth Ru Yue to me." Li Ye said with a smug look on his face, casually putting a piece of dessert into his mouth.
Xiao Cui was extremely surprised: "Really? That's great! The princess will definitely be very happy when she knows!"
