After waiting for a long time, Old Zheng still looked desperate. Li Chengqian was upset and simply stopped pretending and showed up: "I said Old Zheng, you always have a bad face, it's like I've taken advantage of your Zheng family. You have to figure it out that your grandson took the initiative to find out.

And you touch your conscience and say, are you really at a disadvantage in working with me? The soap business used to be the exclusive business of the royal family, and you are not happy to bring you with you? The recipe for frosting, as long as you hold this thing in my hands for a day, the Zheng family will not be able to get involved in the frosting business for a day. Not to mention your grandson, even your old Zheng can't bear it."

"What do you say about Wu Qianguan?!" Old Zheng, who lowered his head and said nothing, suddenly looked up.

"What five thousand guan? Where did the five thousand guan come from?" Li Chengqian knew that the old man was reading the newspaper industry, so he planned to take the opportunity to get it in, but deliberately pretended not to understand.

Lao Zheng smiled dismissively: "Prince, don't tell lies in front of the real person. Since we need to cooperate, it is natural that both parties have equal interests. You can't take all the benefits by your highness alone. The Zheng family will run errands in vain."

After all, it doesn’t hurt if the stick hits me, but what if it hits me?

The emergence of newspapers made Lao Zheng feel a strong sense of crisis. Everyone’s words are awesome. When public opinion is one-sided, no matter whether you are a thousand-year-old family or a thousand-year-old family, it will be drowned in the saliva of the people of the world.

Therefore, in terms of newspaper matters, the Zheng family must be involved in any case, and even if they cannot hold them all in their hands, they must be involved.

"Impossible, at least in a short time." Speaking of this, Li Chengqian simply opened the skylight and said: "The newspaper business is still an emerging industry in Datang. It must be settled for a period of time and change the conditions."

But Old Zheng shook his head stubbornly: "It doesn't matter. I can trust Your Highness. As long as Your Highness agrees, the Zheng family will have priority in participating in newspaper occurrences in the future."

Yan Lingbin showed a shocked expression and looked at Lao Zheng in surprise.

This is the head of the five surnames, Qiwang Zheng family. On the surface, the old man seems to be inconspicuous. If he moves in secret, he will definitely make huge waves in the Tang Dynasty and make such a person say the three words "believeable". With the age of his own highness, he is enough to be proud.

but…….

"Sorry, I can't believe myself, so, Lao Zheng, don't expect any newspaper matters. It's impossible for the court to hand over this business to private management. Even if the five surnames and seven hopes are added together, it will not work."

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian still rejected Lao Zheng's request. This is not a question of whether he can cooperate. In this era, newspapers represent the mouthpiece of the court and the only channel for the court to speak out among the people. If aristocratic family controls the newspaper, they will not have to live their lives in the future.

Lao Zheng was somewhat disappointed when he failed to achieve his goal, but fortunately, this matter was just a matter of beating a rabbit. It was good that Li Chengqian could agree, but it would be fine if he didn't agree. Life was still long, so I'll take a look.

Eat and drink, and take the opportunity to sort out your ideas. After watching two dances, Lao Zheng saw that Li Chengqian seemed to be a turtle and was determined not to increase the price. He said again: "I can agree to your highness's request, but I can only promise that the Zheng family will reach cooperation with Your Highness when I am under my control. If others become the head of the family in the future, it is unknown whether they will cooperate with Your Highness."

Is this trying to tell me not to bother with his grandson?

Or do you want me to protect his lineage from being in the position of the head of the family forever?

Without thinking, Li Chengqian raised the cup in his hand: "Happy cooperation!"

"Uh..." Lao Zheng was a little uncomfortable with Li Chengqian's way. He was stunned for a moment before he followed suit and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation."

The wine glasses did not touch each other. The two were several feet apart, and no matter how long the arms were, they could only toast one cup from afar and then drink it all.

With the foundation of cooperation, the relationship between the two parties seemed to be closer. Lao Zheng finally showed a smile on his face. He looked at Li Chengqian and sighed: "Your Highness, you can push me to this point at your age. It is unique in the Tang Dynasty."

Li Chengqian smiled distractedly and did not take Lao Zheng's comments to heart. Just listen to what you said at the table, and you will lose if you take it seriously.

"Old Zheng, since we are in a cooperative relationship, I will say something to you, well, I will say it, and you will listen to it, and think it is not satisfactory, so I will pretend that I have never said it."

"Your Highness has something to say, but it's okay to say it. I listen carefully."

Lao Zheng was indeed a person who could take it and let it go. He was as if he had said, and he was teaching, not caring about the surprised gazes around him.

Li Chengqian was not pretentious, and sorted out his thoughts and said, "Old Zheng, I don't know if you have noticed that since my father ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty is entering a period of rapid development. Not to mention that it is changing with each passing day, but at least it is thriving.

Why is this?

I think that putting aside the problem of my old man working hard to govern and working diligently, the people's minds are also a factor. Of course, the efforts of all the five surnames and seven hopes and the officials in the court cannot be ignored.

A prosperous and powerful country is rising in the east of the world. The Tang Dynasty will inevitably become more brilliant and brilliant in the future. People who live in their homes and those who farm in their fields are just the beginning. In the future, it is not a dream, but a fact.

Sometimes I even think that one day in the future, people may fly to the sky, and it only takes two or three hours to go from Chang'an to Youzhou with the help of tools. Even if people are thousands of miles apart, they can keep in touch at any time. We can see what happens thousands of miles apart in an instant...

Don't be nervous, I'm just saying that even if this dream really becomes a reality, it is not something we can see.

The reason for saying this is just to remind the head of the Zheng family... the waters are rising, and only when the country is strong can we vested interests live a better life, otherwise everything in front of us will be like a flash in the pan, and will turn into a passing cloud in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, I hope that the head of the Zheng family can think carefully when planning the interests of the family, and do not lose the big one because of the small one!”

After saying this, Li Chengqian stood up and said goodbye, leaving Lao Zheng alone to meditate.

After the cake is drawn and the promise is given, it depends on the old man's performance. If he can really understand the meaning of his words, the next cooperation will be very easy.
