Chapter 691
This night, Li Ke couldn't sleep because of the tossing and turning. Firstly, the wound on his thigh was painful, and secondly, he was always thinking, why did Wang Pingan tell him such a good thing? Was he playing some kind of trap again?

After thinking about it all night, he couldn't think of anything wrong. He really couldn't think of it. Even if Wang Pingan set him up again, what is the key point of this trick!
In the end, he decided that he doesn't care about other things, as long as he doesn't get involved, no matter how vicious the trap is, it won't hurt him. He only needs the right to name the business, and as long as the name is given, he will be credited for the future credits. One, and every time the Datang Investment Agency is mentioned, others will think of him, and my father will think of him even more. In the struggle for favor, the most important thing is to get the attention of my father, and I don’t ask for anything else!

After making a decision, Li Ke decided to go to sleep, but just as he closed his eyes, before he could squint, someone knocked on the outer door. It was a servant who came to wash him up, because it was dawn!

Li Ke didn't sleep all night and thought about many things. Li Ke had a terrible headache, but today he had important things to do, so he couldn't be lazy on the bed, so he could only get up. After washing, he had breakfast, and the servant brought him the newly made crutches. .Li Ke leaned on crutches like this, left the back house, and went to meet Wang Ping'an in the front hall.

Wang Ping'an got up early, Li Ke didn't sleep all night, but he slept well, was full of energy, and was in high spirits, joking with Qiu Tingxuan.Qiu Tingxuan is serious and responsible. There are rivers in Maling County, but they are not as big as the city of Zhou, so he built the canals very quickly, and it is almost finished. It can be regarded as the best among the counties.

Wang Pingan said: "You are able to do things well, and the court must be rewarded. As for the king of Wu, you can't delay the time because he has conflicts with the prince. The royal family's housework has nothing to do with you. You just need to do your part." !"

Qiu Tingxuan said: "Of course I know this. In fact, after the project of Maling is over, King Wu will be tossed to another place. Anyway, if he wants to return to Beijing, it is probably very rare. I have always What you don’t care about, is to benefit the people who rule the land, which is the root of being an official!”

"It's good that you understand this!" Seeing Li Ke coming out, Wang Pingan hurriedly stood up and called out to the prince!
I saw Li Ke walking slowly, with a single crutch under his arm, his face was pale, his eyes were full of red silk, but his expression was serious and he looked like a leader!

Wang Pingan stepped forward and said, "My lord, you didn't sleep well last night, did you? Did you think about that big deal? It's important to do business, but your body is more important. Your body is the capital of serving the court. If you hurt your body, That would be worth the candle!"

Li Ke tried his best to put on a friendly expression, and said: "I know that you don't have to worry too much if you are not sick. My health is actually very good!" He looked at Qiu Tingxuan, and said: "The magistrate Qiu is also here, very Okay, do you want to go to Zhoucheng with me too?"

Qiu Tingxuan was stunned, this Wu Wang Qiansui has never given himself a good face since he came to Maling County, and even kicked him out of the back house, why did he change his sex today, and his attitude is so amiable?
He bowed to Li Ke and said: "If you go back to the prince, I will not be able to accompany you to the state city because I still have official duties. Don't blame the prince!"

"What's so strange about this, you should be praised for being diligent in the king's affairs!" Li Ke praised casually, and said to Wang Ping'an: "Let's go now, things should be done sooner rather than later!"

Wang Ping'an naturally agreed, and followed Li Ke out of the county office. Li Ke took a car, and he rode a horse to go to Zhoucheng together.The two places are not far apart, and it didn't take long to enter the city gate and arrive at the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, the lobby of the Governor's Mansion was already crowded with businessmen from all over the place, not only from Chang'an, but also from other places.Many businessmen had already arrived, but the largest and richest Chang'an businessman hadn't arrived, so they could only wait. Now that Hamidi and the others arrived, the businessmen immediately gathered at the Governor's Mansion, waiting to discuss matters.

When Li Ke got out of the car, the merchants came out to greet him, flattering them all. Seeing Li Kezhu holding a cane, everyone had to pretend not to see, and dared not speak out to comfort him!

King Wu met an assassin and was shot in the leg. Although everyone had heard about it, it was nothing public after all. It's because I'm afraid that the horse's ass will be slapped on the horse's leg and kicked, then this flattering will be boring!

But everyone looked at Li Ke in such a state of embarrassment, but they were all amused. Is there any mistake? That's right, it's out of face!He didn't heal his wounds, and went to the governor's mansion to show his eyes, because he was afraid that others would not know if there were traitors in his mansion, and the long follower picked out the spies of Goguryeo, what kind of vision does he have!
Li Ke was also embarrassed, but things can be divided into big and small things. Although face is important, it is insignificant compared to today's major events. He looked at the businessmen and smiled and said: "Everyone, some of you know me well, and some of you don't. I don’t know, I don’t know how to call it?”

The businessmen hurried forward to report their names and introduce themselves.The servants in the Governor's Mansion all looked at Li Ke, thinking in their hearts: "Will the King of Wu listen to another name this time and just repeat it? He did this last time, but he lost an adult in the end. No long memory?"

Li Ke thought he had a good memory, and he didn't dare to pretend to be approachable anymore. After the merchants reported their names, he didn't repeat a single one, just nodded, and he didn't stand to listen. He entered the hall with a cane and sat behind the table , listen slowly!

After the merchants had finished reporting their names, Li Ke said, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince here? You are not sick. Go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come out. This King has something to report to him."

Wang Pingan said: "The crown prince has gone to inspect the projects in various counties, and he is not in the city for the time being. County magistrate Di, when will the crown prince come back?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "I don't know, I guess it might be tomorrow!"

In fact, Li Zhi will be back at noon today, but both Wang Pingan and Di Renjie said it might be tomorrow, giving Li Ke an illusion that Li Zhi will indeed come back tomorrow, so there is no rush for today's affairs, today Just do it.

Li Ke said: "Since His Royal Highness is not here, I can only preside over this meeting. This king has come up with a good charter, and I would like to share it with you. You are not ill. You tell me the plan that this king told you yesterday. Everyone listen!"

This time, he can learn to be a traitor. He doesn’t explain everything by himself, but let Wang Pingan talk about it. If there is any mistake, he can push it on Wang Pingan. In this way, even if there is a trap, he won’t fall for it. This is to protect yourself first, to be invincible, and then to defeat the enemy and win!

Wang Ping'an was very cooperative, didn't look for any trouble, and articulately told the merchants what he said to Li Ke yesterday.Among the merchants, many of them, especially those from Chang'an, had worked with Wang Ping'an before and had benefited from it. They knew Wang Ping'an's abilities very well. After hearing him finish his plan, everyone was overjoyed and praised them one after another, saying that the plan was a great one.

Merchants like to do things like collusion between government and businessmen, but the early Tang Dynasty, like the previous dynasties, didn't treat businessmen very much. They ranked last. It's just fat sheep, the kind that was slaughtered. If there are profits, the officials will take them away, but if there are troubles, the businessmen will bear it themselves.

But Wang Ping’an’s plan not only gave businessmen and the government an opportunity to cooperate, but it must not be regarded as collusion between the government and businessmen, but to work together for the benefit of the people, and everyone can benefit at the same time. This is a great thing, and it is serious business!

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby, and the businessmen were happy. It seemed that their words would have some weight in the future. Cooperation, mutual benefit, if their interests were damaged, the interests of the government would also be damaged, and they went bankrupt If the business cannot continue, the local officials will also be pulled from their horses, and no one can run away. They are tied to a rope, and everyone is a grasshopper!
Wang Pingan waited for the discussion to stop for a while, and said with a smile: "This plan was conceived by King Wu Qiansui, and it is all due to him, and has nothing to do with me..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ke yelled, quite urgently, and very loudly.He shouted: "No, Governor Wang is also responsible for making this plan. Without him, this king would not be able to make such an appropriate plan!"

Li Ke glanced at Wang Ping'an and thought: "Small guy, you still want to trick me. I won't be fooled by you this time. I only need the first credit, and the rest of the credit will be given to you. I won't be fooled by you." Distressed!"

Wang Ping'an sighed, and said, "This... I am ashamed to be an official..."

"Don't be ashamed, I am seeking truth from facts, if you have credit, you deserve credit!" Li Ke smiled and nodded at him.

Wang Pingan groaned again, and said: "Actually, it's mainly the prince's plan. The officials just talked about the details. There is a little credit, but it's only a little bit."

Li Ke hummed, but this time he didn't say anything more, and he acquiesced to that little bit!

Wang Pingan said: "Although this plan is good, it is not perfect. Everyone's money has been invested in the new business to be established. Of course, a new government office is to be established. What is the name of this government office..." He looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke thought to himself: "Very good, the first soup is on the table, I'm not going to be polite!" He smiled and said: "The name of the official office has already been decided by the king, and it is called Datang Investment Agency. What do you think?"

Wang Pingan immediately said: "Okay, good name!" He clapped his palms twice, then raised his hands up, and made a clear sign to the merchants.

Immediately, there was thunderous applause and applause in the lobby, and everyone praised loudly. This name is so good, it is glorious in ancient and modern times, and it is unique!

Wang Pingan said: "Now we just wait for His Royal Highness to come back, as long as His Royal Highness agrees, this matter will be settled like this!"

Li Ke said: "Why don't we write the memorial first, and when His Royal Highness comes back, we can jointly sign the letter?"

Wang Pingan said happily: "Okay..."

Hey, why is he so happy, is there any fraud in it?Li Ke immediately said: "It's not in a hurry, after His Royal Highness comes back, it won't be too late to write!"

Wang Pingan thought: "You said this, don't regret it then!"
