Chapter 266 Start to buy out again, Li Er wants to be a worker again
Li Er almost jumped up with excitement.
It can be said that arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. If I had not come today, who knew that I would have discovered such a big secret?
These ice cubes can be made. If this is arranged in Chang'an City, they will make crazy money?
"Brother Xian, just tell me how much it costs. I'll buy it. I'll buy it all."
Zhao Mu stretched out five fingers.
Li Ermiao understood.
Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is the only one in the world.
You still know what kind of person you are, and since you have sold it to yourself, you will not sell it to anyone else. In other words, you can monopolize the whole world. Don't you want to be soft on this small amount of money?
Li Er's eyes rolled again. This time, he directly changed his strategy. He shook his head.
"Brother, this time I have to spend the money to buy it out.
But this business can be considered a joint operation between you and me. I will give you 50% of the profit, what do you think?"
In other industries, Li Er did not buy out. Both parties operated jointly. Of the profits, he only accounted for 30% and Zhao Mu accounted for 70%.
But this time, this ice cube is a direct monopoly for itself. Doesn’t this mean that you can make as much as you want in Chang’an City?
The so-called 50% of the profit was completely given to Zhao Mu.
How smart I am, as long as I have such an inextricable relationship with him and are intertwined.
In this way, if you are doing other things in the future, it will be very convenient to handle it yourself.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but give myself a thumbs up in my mind, why am I so smart?
Zhao Mu gave him a look, and Li Er smiled.
It was as if all the little thoughts in my heart had been squeezed by him.
"Brother, you see, since I met you last winter.
Now, my business, Lao Li, is getting bigger and bigger, and I am making more and more money, all thanks to you.
After you gave some things to me, I knew that Xiandi had no interest in them, so I monopolized them myself.
But if these things need to be earned, let’s earn them together and make a fortune together.”
Zhao Mu gave him another look, and Li Er pretended not to see it.
"Dear brother, what do you think of this method?"
"Come, come with me!"
"Okay, good brother."
Several people came to the room next to the icehouse together. When the room opened, there were people from Zhuangzi who were making ice cubes.
Everyone hurriedly saluted and called Young Master.
Li Er was shocked again when he saw that everyone in Zhuangzi was really making ice cubes there.
I made the right bet again this time!
"Brother Xian, do you see?"
As he spoke, Zhao Mu took the two of them aside and asked someone to demonstrate the making of ice cubes in person.
When Zhuangzi's staff showed the method of making ice cubes, they also explained it to the two of them.
After hearing their explanation and seeing their operation, Li Er was stunned!
"Hey, no, dear brother, aren't you joking?
No, this, this, is fine?"
"Yeah, do you think it's difficult?"
" Um????
Logically speaking, shouldn’t the manufacturing method for such a precious thing be extremely complicated?”
I was just thinking about how to pretend to be cool, but suddenly I said, "It's so easy to pretend to be cool, and I couldn't control it at all for a while."
Li Er suddenly had a regretful thought in his heart.
Why are you so stupid?
I gave my good brother fifty thousand taels of gold as a buyout, and also gave him half of his dividends. Why do I feel like I've been cheated?
At this moment, I can only comfort myself.
It's okay, he was tricked by his wise brother, and not by anyone else?
My dear brother has done so much for me, but what if I cheated myself a little bit? I admit it.
It's just that the crying in my heart is a piecemeal one.
The making methods of these things are so simple that I don’t even want to remember them. I just need to prepare the materials and I will know them.
Several people left Zhi Bing's room and returned to the front hall, where they chatted for a while.
After dinner, the next morning, Li Er took some materials for making ice.
But on that day, I felt that I had only obtained a method to cure the disease, and my heart was indeed too unbalanced.
I also learned how to make this ice cream.
Fortunately, the method of making ice cream is the same as that of making ice, which is relatively simple to learn.
I also took away half a box of lemons and planned to return to Chang'an City to make lemonade to drink.
Only then did my injured heart gain some balance.
After arriving at the palace, he came to the Tai Chi Hall and directly called Du Ruhui over.
"Keming."
"Your Majesty, I wonder why your Majesty asked the ministers to come here today?"
"Hahahaha, do you still remember that a while ago, you said you had nothing to do recently?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Yes, I have decided to entrust you with a very important matter. You must handle this matter well for me."
Du Ruhui saluted again!
"Your Majesty, I will definitely get things done for your Majesty even if I am a humble minister!"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about this.
But when doing this, you must not let anyone leak it, otherwise I will be very angry and the consequences will be serious!"
I had spent a full 50,000 taels of gold. Even if it was really leaked, I would have to earn back the 50,000 taels of gold before talking about it.
The money spent this time was my own private money, but I did not invest it with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"This is Your Majesty, I will take your orders."
Du Ruhui was so happy in his heart that Fang Xuanling was doing very cool things when handling drinks for His Majesty.
The drinks were arranged to Wanbao Pavilion, which sold them.
Not only that, the selling price is also very high, impacting the high-end market of Datang.
The low-end market below has not been affected in any way.
Of course, as long as there is money to be made, there will be grievances and hatreds.
There were many jealous people in his eyes, and some wanted to investigate, but were directly killed by his strong methods.
Not to mention his eldest son, Sun Wuji, was he not responsible for any of the things he was busy with?
Although His Majesty asked him to stay with his eldest son, Sun Wuji, he understood that it was only a temporary measure.
You can also stand alone with your own abilities.
Now it seems that I am the only one left. Will His Majesty finally arrange a task for myself today?
"Someone is coming!"
Li Er asked someone to fetch the water basin and put the ice-making materials aside. Du Ruhui looked shocked.
It only took half an hour for the water in the basin to freeze.
As long as the outside is covered with a thick quilt, it will take up to two hours to completely make ice cubes.
And the saltpeter used to make ice can be found everywhere in Chang'an City.
Even the entire Tang Dynasty is not a valuable thing.
Seeing His Majesty's actions, Du Ruhui was immediately stunned.
This, this is ice, this is ice. In the hot summer, even their respective government offices store some ice cubes in winter. The quantity stored is not particularly large. In summer, they can only store ice cubes.
live frugally.
Now His Majesty has mastered the method of making ice cubes, this is simply...
"Keming, how much money I can make this summer depends entirely on you.
Although this method of making ice is simple, it is very important to me.
You are all my confidants, if you need ice, I can reward you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Master Du, although this method of making ice is very simple, it is not as laborious as making wine.
That's because Your Majesty knows your body, Master Du.
So I assigned this job to Mr. Du.
His Majesty also said that although this job is very easy, it is important and Mr. Du should also know what it means.
I won’t say much more, but Mr. Du, you have also seen it.
This ice cube has been successfully manufactured. It is summer and it is still so hot. The money earned from this may be more than the money from drinks."
How could he, Du Ruhui, not know what his eldest son Wuji meant by what he said?
That your Majesty can entrust such an important task to yourself shows that your Majesty has great trust in you.
If this is the case, I will definitely live up to my mission and handle the drinking matter properly so that His Majesty can rest assured.
"Your Majesty, even if this humble minister has to risk his life, he must handle this matter well for Your Majesty."
"Hahaha, okay Keming, if there is any danger, remember it, even if I leak the method of making ice.
I don’t want any of my ministers or my right and left arms to get hurt.”
Touched, so touched.
At this moment, Du Ruhui was extremely moved again.
To be loyal to His Majesty, even if I die, it is worth it.
Only this time, the ice produced was arranged to be sold in Wanbao Pavilion. Li Er did not require everyone to buy it with food.
Instead, you can purchase it with money or food.
But this drink must be purchased with food, and it can still be justified by everyone.
After all, this wine needs to be brewed with grain. If all other things are exchanged for grain, it will make them suspect that the court is involved.
Li Er didn't want to expose these things unless he had to.
After arranging the matter, Du Ruhui left the palace and returned to his house to make some arrangements.
This time, he brought one of his sons with him in person.
Your Majesty has entrusted such matters to them, and they must arrange things properly for His Majesty no matter what.
Li Er arranged all the tasks and started working hard again.
Du Ruhui, on the other hand, arranged manpower to purchase materials throughout Chang'an and even surrounding counties.
For me, I do these things often, so I feel comfortable handling them.
In order to prevent others from discovering it, when purchasing saltpeter, I also purchased a large number of other materials.
This time I will definitely make your Majesty a huge profit.
They arranged a house in Chang'an City, just next to Fang Xuanling's winery, and arranged for a group of confidants to become laborers to start making ice. This chapter has been completed!
