Five hundred and eighty-six chapters 500,000 patent fees
The emperor wants to make himself a duke?
Zhao Chen's first reaction was that this guy Lao Litou didn't want to give him money.
I just want to get so many potatoes for nothing.
How does this work?
What is the use of a state official?
He is now doing a very comfortable job as the Wannian County Duke.
Duke?
I'm afraid that the higher he stands, the more Lao Li will want to squeeze himself.
"Zhao Chen, you agree!" Queen Changsun sat next to Zhao Chen and persuaded him in a low voice.
If Zhao Chen's title goes up, it will naturally be useful.
Moreover, this was based on his own ability, and it was not without reason that he brought Zhao Chen up.
Therefore, Empress Changsun felt that Zhao Chen should accept the title of Duke without any hesitation.
Li Ruoshuang did not speak.
She knows Zhao Chen.
I know that Zhao Chen doesn't have much expectations for promotion and title.
Instead, it’s money…
Li Ruoshuang knew that Zhao Chen's hesitation must be because these potatoes did not want to be given to the emperor in vain.
"That..." Zhao Chen was silent for a moment and then raised his head.
Li Shimin smiled.
Lord, no one can refuse.
That's something that 99% of people can't refuse.
Although there is no saying in the Tang Dynasty that someone with a foreign surname cannot be crowned king, so far, there has not been a single case of someone with a foreign surname being crowned king.
Even great heroes like Li Jing, Changsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling are all Dukes of the country.
Duke of the Kingdom is already the top title for non-royal people with the surname Li.
There are many achievements that many people cannot achieve in ten lifetimes. Now, Zhao Chen only needs to nod his head...
Li Shimin didn't believe that Zhao Chen would reject him.
So as long as Zhao Chen nods, doesn't he not have to give him potato money?
Anyway, the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to Zhao Chen from now on. What does a Duke mean?
As long as Zhao Chen doesn't negotiate money for him, anything can be easily discussed.
"Well, Your Majesty, you should give me money. I don't want the Duke or anything else!" Zhao Chen's voice sounded slowly.
"That's right. You are the youngest Duke to rise to the top with your own strength since the founding of the Tang Dynasty..."
"Um?"
"What did you just say?" Li Shimin said, and seemed to have just realized that what Zhao Chen said was different from what he thought.
He seems to be saying that he doesn't want the title of Duke, but money?
"Father, sir, he doesn't want the title, he wants money!" Li Ke reminded Li Shimin from the side.
"I'll let you say it." Li Shimin couldn't hold back his breath at that time, and kicked Li Ke.
Li Ke fell down and looked at the emperor with aggrieved face.
What did he say?
Didn't he just relay what Zhao Chen meant?
As for kicking him over?
If your emperor is really angry, wouldn't it be better to take Zhao Chen and beat him again?
Li Ke felt aggrieved and his eyes were filled with resentment.
Li Shimin was very angry.
I tried my best to think that I didn't have to pay for Zhao Chen, so I wanted Zhao Chen to accept the title of Duke.
But this guy is good.
You are totally obsessed with money, right?
Want nothing but money?
If Li Shimin had money, he would go up and give Zhao Chen a kick.
But he doesn’t have one!
On the Dragon Boat Festival a month ago, a small banquet was held in the palace, and Empress Changsun paid for it.
If Li Shimin was rich, could he use his wife's money?
Wei Zheng was also stunned on the spot.
He felt that he was greedy enough for money, but Zhao Chen's performance today had refreshed his outlook on things.
Is there really a guy in this world who regards wealth as his life?
Lord, doesn't he smell good?
If those businessmen wanted to donate all their property, they would also like to get the title of county boy.
It's better for Zhao Chen, he won't even give it to the Duke.
Dai Zhou was also dumbfounded.
He glanced at Zhao Chen suspiciously, but under the darkness, he could only see that Zhao Chen had no expression on his face.
Lord!
He didn't want it?
Li Xiaogong's face twitched fiercely.
He finally understood why the emperor treated Zhao Chen differently from others.
Just this title of Duke has made everyone flock to it, but Zhao Chen doesn't want it.
Want money?
Why do you, Zhao Chen, need so much money?
"My dear, did I hear wrongly? Sir, you don't want the title of Duke, but money?"
"Quick, slap me quickly and see if I'm doing it..."
"Pah——"
"Oh, damn, you really hit me."
Changsun Chong covered his face and looked at Fang Yizhi, who was rubbing his hands, with an angry look on his face.
"I didn't think it was true, so I tried a little harder, not to mention that my palms hurt." Fang Yi shook his hand and said with a smile.
"I'm going to kill you, you bastard!" Changsun rushed up and twisted Fang Yizhi, and the two started fighting in the field.
No one cares about them.
Everyone was looking at Zhao Chen.
No one would have thought that Zhao Chen would actually reject the title of Duke.
"I originally planned to sell these potatoes. The market price should be five cents per pound."
"Three million catties, that's 15 million copper coins, fifteen thousand guan, plus this potato technology patent, it's 500,000 guan."
"A total of 515,000 guan. I'll give you the 5,000 guan. If you give me 510,000 guan, all these potatoes will be yours."
"From now on, you can have whatever kind of potato you want!" Zhao Chen said to Li Shimin with his fingers.
With such a philistine look, Li Shimin was so angry that he almost couldn't help but kick him up.
In fact, Li Shimin can still accept fifteen thousand guan.
But why did an extra 500,000 yuan in technology patent fees suddenly appear later?
Five hundred thousand dollars?
Why don't you, Zhao Chen, just go and grab it?
"What if I don't give it?" Li Shimin said coldly with a cold face.
He felt that he needed to display the majesty of the emperor.
Otherwise, this kid will ride on his head.
Hearing what the emperor said, everyone felt a chill in their hearts and took a few steps back, not daring to get too close to the emperor.
"If you don't want to give me, you can take these potatoes!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Huh?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any joy.
Based on his understanding of Zhao Chen, this boy would never compromise so easily.
Sure enough, in the next breath...
"Here are the potatoes. If you don't give me the money, you won't have anything left in the future." Zhao Chen looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.
Everyone's expressions changed.
Zhao Chen is crazy. He is clearly threatening the emperor with his words.
Can the emperor endure this?
"Little bastard..."
"I forgot to tell you, I plan to plant more sweet potatoes in a few days. The yield of sweet potatoes is more than that of potatoes."
"But if I can't get the money, I won't be interested. Oh, what a dilemma!"
The emperor had not yet said what he was reprimanding.
Zhao Chen was talking leisurely about planting sweet potatoes.
sweet potato!
Li Shimin had never heard of it.
But just now Zhao Chen said that the yield of sweet potatoes will be more than that of potatoes.
Potatoes can produce so much, how much can sweet potatoes produce?
If sweet potatoes were planted in Datang, then...
"Little bastard, what are you doing lying on the ground? Get up and write an IOU to your husband." Li Shimin suddenly changed the subject and kicked Li Ke, who was still lying on the ground.?
