Chapter 96 Eight Great Hutongs (two in one)

The fundamental reason why Emperor Gan Wu only carried out a small Yucha business in the capital during this period and did not start a salt business is that the salt business is very important.

At the beginning, Emperor Gan Wu saw a broad prospect in fine salt, and fine salt was purified by multiple layers of technology from Li Changfeng, harmless and edible, which is much better than the current official salt.

Logically speaking, according to Li Changfeng's proposal when he was in Changqing Palace, it is easy to sell a box of 166 taels.

But Emperor Gan Wu was blinded for a while, and when he returned to the capital, he remembered that if Jingyan was not handled properly, he would easily have an opposition to the aristocratic family if he was not careful.

Although Emperor Gan Wu is now a great emperor, he is still very taboo about the aristocratic families.

Although the overthrow of the Dafeng Dynasty was due to his rise, it actually relied on the power of the aristocratic family in many aspects.

In order to overthrow the Dafeng Dynasty, Emperor Gan Wu established Dakan, but he made many promises from the Yishi family, and he was determined to become the emperor of the ages and was admired by later generations, so it was naturally difficult to do something like waiting for the birds to be eaten up or cooked by the lackeys.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will be very troublesome.

After Gao Dali's explanation, Li Changfeng understood the extraordinary aspects of the aristocratic family more clearly.

After all, the establishment of today's great efforts has been helped by eight major families.

The eight major families are all ancient families that have been passed down for a long time. Many have gone through several dynasties. They not only have deep power in the court, but also in the people and the world.

After learning about it, Li Changfeng learned that these eight aristocratic families, like princes, not only control many folk businesses, but also have corresponding supporters in the court, and even have private soldiers and are incredible.

If others dare to raise private soldiers, Emperor Gan Wu will naturally be the first to let go.

But the fact that the aristocratic family owns private soldiers was also what Emperor Gan Wu promised to cooperate with the eight aristocratic families in order to overthrow the previous dynasty.

Even some people from the eight major families did not need to kneel down and bow down when they saw Emperor Gan Wu.

This shows that the energy of the aristocratic family in this world gives Li Changfeng the feeling that he is like the ancient prominent family in his previous life.

Guan Yan has also been firmly controlled by the Wang family, one of the eight major families.

In the past, for big business such as Guanyan that could plunder the world's wealth, Emperor Gan Wu knew that the Wang family's official salt was the best salt in the world. Even the royal family did not have such skills, so it was not. Turn a blind eye.

Now that I have the more famous Jingyan, I naturally don’t want the official salt business to continue to be controlled by the Wang family.

After all, on the one hand, Emperor Gan Wu hopes to use the fine salt to improve the consumption and health of the people in the world. On the other hand, the business income of official salt is too high, and even after working hard for a year, he can finally enter the treasury. It is not as small as the Wang family sells official salt.

Can Emperor Gan Wu not be moved?

Very distracted!

If you have more money, you can invest in people's livelihood and the army will manage the big business better.

Moreover, Emperor Gan Wu did not want the official and salt business to be controlled by the aristocratic families, but hoped to be firmly in the hands of the court.

Because the official salt involves too much, it affects the people. If the Wang family takes the opportunity to rebel, the official salt alone will be enough to make countless people work hard for it, and it will pose too great a threat to the court.

But Emperor Gan Wu was unwilling to stand opposite to the Wang family.

After returning to the capital, Emperor Gan Wu did not think of a suitable solution, so he hoped to listen to Li Changfeng's opinions.

After pondering for a moment, Li Changfeng said, "Father, the eight major families are to help you establish a big business, and they are deeply admired by the people. If you rashly carry out a refined salt business, it will inevitably make the Wang family dislike. As for the current stage, It is not worth offending the Wang family. If the Wang family is not happy, they are also interested in your reputation as your father."

Emperor Gan Wu nodded deeply and said, "Since that's the case, what can you do?"

Li Changfeng rolled his eyes. This cheap emperor father was shameless. It was clearly the problem he had to deal with, and it was actually pushed to him.

However, Jingyan can make money every day, and he cannot let go of the business of making money on both public and private, so he said, "Actually, there is no way."

"What's the solution?"

Emperor Gan Wu's eyes lit up. He originally said to Li Changfeng, but he just wanted to talk about it. Some things, even if they talked to the closest Queen Murong, would be useless, and would only add to Queen Murong's troubles.

He didn't want Empress Murong to have some more worries while managing the harem.

But Li Changfeng was different. Emperor Gan Wu felt that it was okay to bother this bastard, but who made him angry all day long?

I didn't expect that this bastard has a solution.

Li Changfeng said: "It's very simple, subtle, and gradually progress."

Emperor Gan Wu and Gao Dali looked at each other without even understanding it, then frowned and said, "So that?"

Li Changfeng said seriously: "Father, at the shore of Xiuli Lake, my son asked you to turn the fine salt into small tribute salt. One box is priced at 166 taels per box. This one can be done on it. If the sharp salt is released rashly on the market, it will inevitably turmoil the original market environment of Guan Yan. The Wang family will naturally target it, which is very unfavorable to us and even to the court."

"But if the starting point of the fine salt is placed in the high-end market, oh, the so-called high-end market refers to a group that is not rich or noble." He first explained the meaning of the high-end market, and then said: "One I started to tell the public that the production of fine salt is very small and the price is extremely high, one hundred and sixty-six taels per box, do you think the Wang family will be so hostile?"

Emperor Gan Wu's eyes lit up. This situation has to be said to be in seconds.

If you rashly put a large amount of salt on the market, it will inevitably seriously impact the Wang family's official salt business. In this way, it will inevitably make the Wang family dislike it.

But if we only started the high-end market, with low output and high selling price, we would not be able to afford it.

Even if the Wang family knows, there will be no complaints.

After all, the yield of refined salt is too low, and there are too few people buying it. The buyer is just a drop in the official salt and cannot pose a threat at all.

"What I mean is to occupy the high-end market first, and then gradually expand the sound of fine salt, so that the Wang family can relax step by step, and let fine salt gradually occupy the market that originally belonged to official salt?" Emperor Gan Wu was so smart, otherwise it would not be possible to become a The founding emperor who worked hard immediately understood what Li Changfeng meant to be subtle and gradually progressed.

"The Father is really smart." Li Changfeng raised a middle finger at him with a smile, which made Emperor Gan Wu frown: "Why did you raise the middle finger? Why do I feel weird?"

"The father misunderstood. Raising the middle finger is to praise others for being very smart." Li Changfeng explained without changing his face. He could not say that he just wanted to raise the middle finger and despise Emperor Gan Wu.

"So that's it." Emperor Gan Wu nodded, "You continue talking."

Li Changfeng put away his finger and said, "Time is the greatest force in the world. We can first use fine salt to occupy the high-end market, and then reduce prices step by step as time goes by, gradually occupy the mid-end market, and then occupy the low market. The end market may take several years, more than ten years, or even decades, but this is actually the safest way to erode the market step by step. Even if the Wang family knows that his official salt business is occupied , but there is no way, and I can only accept it passively."

Although he was surprised by such strange words as the mid-range and low-end markets, Emperor Gan Wu could also guess the general meaning.

"I am worthy of being my good prince, so I am really smart!" Emperor Gan Wu was very happy. He stretched out his hands at Li Changfeng, raised his two middle fingers straight, expressing high praise!

Gao Dali also quickly raised his middle finger: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is indeed extremely smart!"

Li Changfeng: "..."

Why do you feel like shooting yourself in the foot?

"Very good, let's leave this to you."

Emperor Gan Wu felt that he had gained a lot when talking with Li Changfeng today, so he naturally asked Li Changfeng to deal with this matter directly.

"It's okay to let my son do it, but as my son said before, brothers must settle accounts clearly. Our king and son are the same in business." Li Changfeng naturally would not help Emperor Wu for no reason, and there is no reason to do anything about Emperor Wu. I can't exert any strength, and I'll do it all from beginning to end, and I have to share the accounts.

So we directly proposed the profit sharing aspect.

"It should be like this." Emperor Gan Wu looked at him, "Since you are doing business with me, I will not take advantage of you, so just make 28 points."

"Your second son, minister eighth! Father, it is rare to have such a honest partner like you, so I will be disrespectful!" Li Changfeng did not expect that Emperor Wu would only have 20% of the profit, which was beyond his expectations. I thought the lion would speak loudly.

Emperor Gan Wu sneered and said, "What are you thinking? You are two, and eight."

Li Changfeng stood up and said angrily: "Father, what are you kidding? The salt was made by Erchen. The shop asked Erchen to come to find him and sell him. Everything was If you do it, you don’t have any strength at all, and you still want to take the big head?"

He was so angry that he laughed.

If you don’t do anything and want a big head, Li Changfeng would rather just turn the table over.

Emperor Gan Wu glared: "Without my permission, can you drive it?"

If the emperor makes trouble, this business is really impossible, but Li Changfeng was not afraid and sneered: "It's a big deal that's not to do it. Anyway, in addition to salt, there are also a lot of business to do, even as long as the child is just a child. I am willing to go directly to the Wang family to cooperate in the salt business. Do you see if the Wang family agrees?"

Emperor Gan Wu was furious: "You dare!"

Gao Dali was frightened to see it. His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince was really brave enough to actually threaten His Majesty.

There are really few people in the world who dare to do this.

The last one dared to do this, the grave grass was taller than the human.

Li Changfeng was not afraid at all, looked at Emperor Gan Wu and sneered: "Look at whether my son dares or not."

The king and son looked at each other for a long time. Emperor Gan Wu saw that this bastard was not afraid at all. After a while, he could only soften his tone: "Five, at most, it can only be five or five points, at least not at all. You want to manage this The salt business must be protected by me, otherwise even if it is just a high-end market, the Wang family will definitely not be able to see it and will target you. If you don’t want to, then don’t do this business.”

Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Trade is done!"

It seems that everything is done by him, but he has suffered a huge loss, but in fact it is not.

As long as Emperor Gan Wu earns his share, he will be able to do business openly under the title of Emperor Gan Wu in the future, and will not be obstructed by anyone unless they are impatient.

Even if the aristocratic family wants to take action, they have to weigh the numbers.

In the final analysis, this big fight is still the world of Emperor Wu.

The two discussed some details again, and Li Changfeng said goodbye and left.

When he left, Emperor Gan Wu smiled a little, and then the curve gradually grew bigger, and finally burst into laughter.

"Ha ha……"

At this moment, his mood was unprecedentedly refreshing.

Since ascending the throne and becoming emperor, his majesty has become stronger. Everyone is timid when they see him, and they are cautious in their words and actions.

Even his princes were the same, for fear of saying the wrong things in front of him, and they had no feeling of father and son at all.

But Li Changfeng was completely opposite. He looked like he did not treat him as an emperor and dared to get angry with him and argue with him.

It would be fine if Li Changfeng didn't know his identity before, but now he still did this after knowing about it, which allowed him to experience the long-lost relationship between father and son.

This made Emperor Gan Wu extremely happy.
