Young Master Liu scratched his neck in confusion: "Your Majesty, 70%, I might as well just stay at home and sleep. This is no different from working in vain. I'm sorry for being rude. I'm resigning. There's no way to negotiate this business."
If you want to watch the complete version for free, please search it on Baidu."
Young Master Liu pretended to resign, and Li Zheng narrowed his eyes. Could it be that he was really squeezing him too hard? According to his understanding of Liu Mingzhi, someone who would not let him go even for a hundred taels of silver would actually be worried.
If he wants to quit, he must ask for 70% profit, which is really beyond his bottom line.
"Wait a minute!"
Young Master Liu was overjoyed, but his expression remained calm: "Your Majesty, I wonder what your Majesty's orders are."
"Liu Aiqing, don't you be so decisive? As the saying goes in business, I can ask for a high price, but Liu Aiqing can just sit back and pay back the money? Liu Aiqing said an honest profit, so I can think about it."
Young Master Liu pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I have a tearful sale today. It's 35%, which is about two million taels more. This is the tax revenue of the three governments."
Li Zheng chuckled: "Liu Aiqing, what I want is an honest price. Your price is not very authentic. You must know that without my order, your briquettes would be stuck in your hands. You have to think carefully before speaking.
Well, I can't let you work in vain, how about 65%?"
"Your Majesty, I would rather sleep at home for the whole winter. What's more, this is not only my business, it's 40%. Otherwise, I can't explain it to the Marquis of Guannei. After all, the mine is the family property of the Marquis of Guannei. I also
Just act as a middleman, 40% is the most, otherwise there is really no need to talk."
No matter how smart and wise the prince is, he can't help but feel a little distracted when he sees his usually majestic father bargaining with Young Master Liu like a merchant. Is the person sitting on the dragon throne in front of him with a philistine atmosphere really his father?
?
Li Zheng thought for a while: "50%, this is my final bottom line. You must know that not only will the prince bear the risk of competing with the people for profit, but I will also inevitably suffer a headache from the censor. My face value is 10%.
Isn’t it too much to blame the prince? If this cannot be negotiated, as Liu Aiqing said, the worst is to break up."
Fifty percent dry profit was exactly the price he had thought of before coming to the palace, but Young Master Liu could not be overjoyed. He sighed sadly: "How dare you not give your majesty face? Just as your majesty said, five percent can be achieved. I will not risk it."
You have to give your Majesty face when making money. When doing business, your Highness, please sign the contract."
Young Master Liu took out a folded piece of rice paper from his arms and placed it in front of the somewhat absent-minded prince, along with ink pad and a moistened brush: "Your Highness, just sign your name here."
"good."
The prince was still in a state of deception, so what happened in the imperial study room today was too shocking to just follow Young Master Liu's words.
Li Zheng thought about it for a while and realized that he might have been tricked by Liu Mingzhi. Who could have prepared the contract before everything was settled? Before the word "slow" was uttered, Li Baiyu had already
He signed his name with flying colors.
After wiping off the cinnabar ink pad on his hands, only the prince came to his senses. What the hell did I do?
Young Master Liu stuffed the contract into his arms with a smile on his face and sighed sadly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I really don't make any money, I just earn hard-earned money."
Li Zheng gave a helpless smile. No matter how many intrigues he had witnessed in the court, when it came to doing business, he was still not as good as Mr. Liu, a businessman with a good background.
"There are specializations in the arts, but I'm confused."
"Your Majesty, I retire." Young Master Liu got the result he wanted, and knelt on the ground to ask for his resignation from the emperor.
Why don't you just go and stay here? Sooner or later, you will be blackmailed by a sinister guy like the emperor, and your heart will be twisted like a knife.
"Wait a minute."
"Your Majesty, you have further instructions."
Li Zheng thought for a while and took out a memorial from the Long Case: "Liu Aiqing, this is the memorial submitted by Yingzhou and Suzhou. Take a look."
"Ah? Your Majesty, isn't it unreasonable for me to read the imperial court's memorial before I have been appointed?"
"I asked you to see it. Who dares to have any objections? Didn't you say you were willing to sacrifice your life and blood for me? Why are you still trying to shirk it now that you are being used?"
I'm just saying it in a polite way, how can you take it seriously? If something really happened, I'd be sure to leave eight hundred miles away and throw my head and blood? It's just a joke, okay?
Young Master Liu didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, so he obediently picked up the memorial on Long's case and read it.
It turned out to be an arrogant memorial from Song Qing's maternal uncle, the Protector of the Country, which stated the affairs of Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang.
The grassland is even colder than the Great Dragon Dynasty. It turns out that thick snow has fallen on the grassland now.
According to reports from secret agents, many Turkic tribes froze to death due to the heavy snow. No one could resist the natural disaster, and the disasters among various tribes varied greatly.
When something like this happens in the grassland, the northern Xinjiang of the Dalong Dynasty cannot be peaceful either, because when winter comes, such a natural disaster occurs in the grassland. In order to survive, Dalong will come to snatch the food for the winter.
This kind of thing happens every year. The Protector of the Country is afraid that the grassland will be severely affected this year. In order to survive, the Turks will go out on a large scale to plunder the people of northern Xinjiang.
Therefore, it is hoped that the emperor can mobilize 10,000 garrison guards to guard Suzhou and 10,000 garrison guards to guard Fengzhou to support the defense of Yingzhou.
In addition, there are still more than 13,000 items missing from the Yingzhou soldiers, and they must be transported urgently. Otherwise, the Yingzhou soldiers may lose their combat effectiveness due to lack of winter clothes before the Turkic cavalry arrives.
At present, the national treasury is really short of money and food, otherwise Li Zheng would not agree to Mr. Liu's coal business. If the winter clothes are delayed and the soldiers are frostbitten, I am afraid that the external invasion has not yet arrived. Mr. Internal invasion, if there is a war,
The trouble is more difficult to deal with than the Turkic attack.
After carefully reading the contents of the memorial, Mr. Liu gently closed the memorial and frowned slightly. It can be seen that Dalong has been experiencing internal and external troubles this winter. The country is short of food and clothing, and natural disasters have occurred in the Turks. If the Jin Kingdom strikes from the middle again,
If there is a cross, the situation faced by Dalong will be even more severe.
He respectfully placed the memorial on the dragon case: "Your Majesty, in your opinion, how should this matter be handled? How was it handled in previous years? Isn't it better to keep everything as usual this year?"
Li Zheng walked toward the door with his hands behind his back: "How can it be so easy? A large amount of money was allocated for the locust disaster relief in Yanzhou in April this year, and another large amount of money was allocated for the drought in Jinzhou and Huizhou. If it weren't for Aiqing, your horseshoes solved the problem of replacing the war horse.
The problem is that the national treasury has saved a lot of silver. The soldiers guarding Suzhou, Ganzhou and Jeju cannot wear winter clothes. At present, there are still five million taels of silver and various rare items worth three million taels of silver left in the national treasury.
The treasure is reserved for emergency use. I have no silver in my hands and no food in my treasury. It is not that easy to resist the Turkic cavalry from attacking the border. In addition, the Jin Kingdom is eyeing the enemy in the north. It will be difficult."
