Li Xukong sat opposite Ning Yue's banquet. When he heard Ning Yue's assertion and rejection, there was no change in his expression. He seemed to have expected Ning Yue to have such an answer.

He raised his glass to Ning Yue, drank it in one sip, and continued, "If this is not possible, why not set the tax on this business property a little higher? Or will the military farms of the garrison also start to collect taxes?"

Ning Yue immediately smiled bitterly, drank the glass of wine in his glass, and replied to Li Xukong: "Why do you have to make things difficult for our army? It is very difficult for us to cultivate farmland. The grains we have worked hard for a year can't be sold in the end, so the veterans gave their secret recipes from the family to make these finely processed foods."

Li Xukong opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Ning Yue immediately rushed forward and said, "Sir, the cost of this grain processing product is extremely high. Many projects are simply ineffective and even have some losses. If the grain cannot be sold, we would not have been working hard to focus on these food processing."

When Li Xukong saw Ning Yue's scoundrel crying, many of the words he said were suppressed. He just found out about Ning Yue's wishes. Now it seems that Ning Yue's few words blocked his intention to get involved in the food processing workshop.

Ning Yue looked at Li Xukong with a speechlessness. He moved his mind and immediately pointed to the Ning-style sausage on the table and said, "Not to say anything else, just talk about this Ning-style sausage. First, we will process some grains well and add meat fillings. However, when it comes to the casings and meat fillings, the amount of food is several times that of refined grains, and the price is several times higher. So only looking at this sausage, we know how much other costs we need to add to the grain produced by crops, so we really can't make ends meet..."

Ning Yue actually didn't understand the process and practical materials of sausages, but he complained to Li Xukong in such a big way, exaggerating the cost of food, and was sure that Li Xukong did not understand the huge profits of processing these modern foods at all.

Li Xukong was as Ning Yue expected, slightly stunned. Ning Yue said it was simple, but looking at the Ning style sausages, it seemed that it really required complicated processes to make them, otherwise how could the food produced be so delicious?

"But..." Li Xukong looked at other foods and tried to continue talking about something.

Ning Yue immediately pointed to the plate of golden French fries on the table and said, "Sir, this plate of French fries looks very simple, but before and after frying, it must be made with qualified processes. French fries cannot be too big or too small. And the sauce that is served at the most critical moment is that the value of this tomato sauce alone exceeds that of the French fries. This is also a helpless way to sell the French fries."

Ning Yue said as he looked at Li Xukong's reaction opposite the table. Seeing Li Xukong's gaze with some regret, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Among the four major groups, Luo Yaoji is alone responsible for the total cost of all the food produced. She has formed an assembly line working method in the workshop, and has done a very good job of keeping the cost confidentiality of all foods, so Ning Yue is not only aware of it.

Li Xukong sat quietly, feeling helpless and sad. He saw that Ning Yue was disturbing the real cost of several kinds of food, but he had no choice but to give up.

There were only Ning Yue and Li Xukong at the luncheon, which seemed a little embarrassed for a moment.

Ning Yue lowered his head slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly. This time, Li Xukong called him and took the opportunity to visit the cost of food processing, which made him instinctively beware of the four major groups under him. He knew that the momentum of the four groups under him was too prosperous, which attracted Li Xukong's attention.

Ning Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The more this happens, the less you can't let Li Xukong put all his thoughts on food processing. You must divert his attention..."

Ning Yue had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and countless commercial projects discussed with his confidants flashed through them. Finally, he selected one of them. After thinking about it, he broke the silence at the banquet and said to Li Xukong: "Talking about taxation, after I succeeded in the farming incident recently, I thought of another project that might increase taxes. I wonder if Lord Zhou Mu is interested?"

When Li Xukong heard this, his expression relaxed a little. He knew that Ning Yue extended an olive branch to him at this time, and couldn't help but smile: "Master Bai can operate several of his food groups so smoothly. I think the project I mentioned with me will definitely make the people of Ganzhou livelihood happy again, right?"

Ning Yue heard the vague dissatisfaction in Li Xukong's words, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had not heard the sourness in Li Xukong's words. He just smiled and took out an exquisite wooden box from his arms.

When Li Xukong saw the wooden box in Ning Yue's hand, his eyes lit up immediately. He instinctively remembered the last time Ning Yue made a plan when he entered Sichuan City, he used such a box to hold information. Finally, he followed these materials and achieved the prosperity of Ganzhou.

Thinking of this, Li Xukong couldn't wait to ask Ning Yue: "I wonder what the wooden box is this time?"

Ning Yue heard that when Li Xukong asked this time, his tone obviously eased, and he smiled secretly, knowing that he had successfully diverted Li Xukong's attention.

Ning Yue immediately put away his slightly narrowed eyes, looked up at Li Xukong, and slid the wooden box in his hand over the table. Seeing Li Xukong raise his hand to catch it, he said earnestly: "To be honest, most of the Ganzhou garrisons under my command are from Yunbao Cavalry, so when we were equipped with the bronze horse mounts of the Yunbao Cavalry, we also carefully studied some monster mounts of other domestic guards and elite cavalry."

Li Xukong slowly opened the box, nodded while listening to Ning Yue's narrative, and looked at the information prepared by Ning Yue. He saw that the monsters used in Xia Guoguo were classified into categories.

He didn't understand what Ning Yue mentioned that these monsters were going to do, so he delayed looking at the information in his hand and looked up and continued to listen to what Ning Yue would say.

Ning Yue raised his right index finger confidently and said only one word to Li Xukong: "Food meat!"

Li Xukong's expression moved slightly, without interrupting Ning Yue, and let Ning Yue continue: "Sir, Daxia has been catching all kinds of monsters, most of which are cavalry brigades as elite cavalry. The rest will choose some rare monsters to appear whether national celebrations or sacrifices. However, these monsters make the Daxia army busy, and they will not catch monsters every year to supplement... and the other ones are to raise them!"

Hearing the word "raising" and "raising", the doubts in Li Xukong's eyes disappeared a lot. He couldn't help but look through the information in his hands a few more times and continue listening to Ning Yue's speech.

He didn't notice at this time that his mind had begun to be led by Ning Yue, and he temporarily forgot about the large taxes for food processing.
