The scheme set up by Li forgetful worry for the aristocratic family actually borrows 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 cheat more investment.
In the final analysis, it is only human greed.
Of course, because what Li forgets worry wants to target is only five surnames and seven looks, the long-term money fraud method of Ponzi scheme is not feasible.
In this scam, monk Wenzai and Daniel Lin were first arranged to go to the gold and silver shop with five surnames and seven hopes to sell dog head gold and Jinsha for fishing.
If a swindler of the Tang Dynasty, after five surnames and seven hopes took the bait, most of them would cheat money on the grounds of selling gold mines.
But how can this trick deceive the old Foxes of five surnames and seven hopes?
After the monk Wenzai said the huge figure of 100000 Jin of gold, Zheng Yuanshou and others, who were originally blinded by greed, immediately became sober and vigilant.
But the wonderful thing is that Li forgets to worry about what he said with the help of Daniel Lin.
Turn the business relationship into borrowing money.
Turning the gold mine into an investment product has shaken the aristocratic family. Moreover, gold is still under the custody of aristocratic families, so there is naturally no risk.
Compared with the possible benefits, the aristocratic family will naturally be excited.
Li Er's intervention is the last straw on the aristocratic family.
Everyone has a blind heart of obedience. Even if the aristocratic family is smart, how can it think that Li Ergui, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, will come to be entrusted in person?
Therefore, it is normal for them to be deceived.
Li Er, the princes and ministers, will follow Li forgetful and fool around. Naturally, they are not greedy for the gold of the aristocratic family.
Even if Li forgets to worry, the income difference in the past year is almost 70000 liang of gold. Of course, it is not to cheat some gold from the aristocratic family.
Whether Li Er, Fang Xuanling or Du Ruhui, they are not so boring. These gold is just an addition to Li forgetful's plan with Li Er.
Three days later, as Li Er expected.
When the carriage of Shunfeng horse and cart company began to transport a cart of gold from Taiji palace, Duke Lu, Duke Zheng and Duke Lai, the doors of these aristocratic families with five surnames and seven hopes were opened and began to transport gold to Xingguo temple.
There is the Tang Dynasty, about 37 grams for later generations. Eighty thousand taels of gold, weighing nearly three tons.
Today's four wheeled carriages, each carrying a ton, are very easy. Therefore, the transportation of these three tons of gold is nothing more than three carriages.
However, whether Li Er transported the gold from the palace or the five surnamed Qiwang aristocratic families, they all sent a large number of tribal trilogy or palace guards to escort the gold.
With the consent of Li Er, Cheng Yaojin also released a large number of Jin Wuwei's forbidden troops to escort the wagon convoy to Duqu County along the road.
The gold in Li's house was transported from Huxian county. It was also escorted by Niu Yong and Niu Wu.
With such a strong force, the gold was naturally sent to Xingguo temple without waves.
Monk Wenzai had already waited beside the main hall, in front of a partial hall. Seeing the arrival of the convoy escorting the gold, Wenzai quickly bowed to Li Er and his ministers who came with the gold convoy.
"Amitabha, I have seen your majesty and distinguished people."
Li Er crotch on his horse's back and motioned to the monk for exemption: "master, the warehouse for storing gold is ready?"
"Yes, your majesty, please look. This is the side hall. Does your majesty think it is appropriate?" Wen Zai said.
They went into the side hall together and checked it. They thought it was suitable.
The original Buddha statues in the side hall have been emptied. There is no other way out except for a hall door and a breathable round window on the high gable.
The breathable round window is more than three meters high from the ground and less than a foot in diameter. Normal adults can't get in.
Li Qieyou suddenly said: "Uncle, it's appropriate to store the gold here. It's easy to protect it. My nephew suggested that after storing the gold in the side hall, the door of the side hall should be completely closed. It can't be opened without the consent of us. However, the window of the side hall should not be closed, but a wooden platform should be built outside the mountain wall, so that it is convenient for the central part of each house to climb on the wooden platform at any time , check the gold status in the side hall through this window to prevent gold loss. "
When they heard the speech, they nodded and said yes. They thought Li forget worry was a good idea.
The gate of the temple is blocked. Naturally, no one can enter.
Leaving the window on the gable can let the external guards check the situation at any time without worrying that they will come into contact with gold. It is extremely safe.
After Li Er and all the leaders nodded and agreed, they began to arrange for the ministries to carry gold to the side hall.
More than thirty carts of gold were transported for two or three hours before they were all transported into the side hall and stacked neatly.
After all the gold was transported into the side hall, the door of the side hall closed with a squeak and hung a huge copper lock.
Li Qieyou smiled and said to the crowd: "Uncle, gentlemen, we don't have to guard so many episodes here at the same time? It's full of people and inconvenient to command. What if we don't guard them separately? Taking ten days as the boundary, the forbidden guard in uncle's palace, uncle Cheng, Duke Fang, Duke Du and my family's episodes will be guarded for ten days, and then handed over to Duke Zheng and Duke Wang. Your family's episodes will be guarded for ten days in turn. I don't know you What do you think? "
Li Er and others naturally nodded and agreed. Zheng Yuanshou and others discussed with each other and felt that it was the best.
Anyway, their five surnames Qiwang, Cheng Yaojin and others can't pee in a pot. They all get together, but it's easy to make trouble.
Zheng Yuanshou nodded and agreed: "Huxian Bo is reasonable, but when the two sides hand over, they need to check the gold quantity inside, so as not to make it unclear if the number is not right at that time."
"It's natural. Check the quantity of gold every ten days." Li forgot to worry and nodded.
After arranging the storage of the gold, Zheng Yuanshou bowed to Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, since the gold has been transported to Xingguo temple, should the gold mine also be mined? Please give your majesty a decree to the general's supervisor and the Ministry of work and send craftsmen here."
Hearing the speech, Li Er shook his head slightly and said, "this is my private property. How can the Ministry of work mobilize craftsmen? If the sheep nose Lord knows, I'll be sprayed to death by his saliva? It's wrong. It's better for Zheng Gong and Wang Gong to recruit craftsmen."
Zheng Yuanshou was stunned when he heard the speech. He knew that Li Er was right. The gold mine in Xingguo temple is not owned by chaotang. If the craftsmen of the work department were mobilized, I'm afraid the censor doctor Wei Zheng would lose his temper again.
"If we assemble artisans from families and other families, we will have to wait a little longer for the exploitation of this gold mine. After all, it takes a short time to collect artisans from Xingyang or Taiyuan." Zheng Yuanshou is somewhat helpless. He naturally hopes that the gold mine will start work soon.
Li Erman waved his hand carelessly: "it doesn't matter. The gold mine can't run on long legs. It doesn't matter for a month at night."
There is no fart in the stone mountain of Xingguo temple. Once it is officially mined, everything will be revealed. If you want to continue this scam, you naturally have to find an excuse to delay time. This is what Li forgetful and Li Er have planned for a long time.
Five surnames and seven hope that all the big men can only nod and agree.
