A quarter moon hangs in the sky, and the moonlight splashes down like water, making the sky and earth seem to be dyed with a layer of silver paint.
The shadows of the mountains in the distance are hazy, and the flowers and trees are dancing nearby. The breeze blows the leaves, making a soft rustling sound, as crisp as a child's giggle.
The city walls and palaces stand tall, and there are dots of fire everywhere, shining like stars.
The three of them entered through Chengming Gate and entered Jinyong City. The city is not big, just over two miles long and less than a hundred feet wide. There are only three palaces, but they are built very high.
The lowest point of the city wall is six feet long. Sitting in the Guangji Hall, the main hall of Jinyong City, you can overlook the entire Luoyang City.
In terms of high solidity, Jinyong City is even better than the Imperial City. If troops are stationed in this city, at least tens of thousands of troops can be hidden. And with Mang Mountain as its back, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. It is an excellent location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Land.
Li Chengzhi walked and took a closer look, listening to Gao Zhan and Yuan Yue muttering there.
Gao Zhan earnestly advised: "Spare him this time. When you meet His Majesty, you can say that I had a dispute with him and accidentally hurt you..."
Yuan Yue gritted her teeth: "This has happened twice... Grandpa really can't swallow this breath..."
"How can we count this time? He didn't kick you?"
Gao Zhan whispered, "Besides, it's not like you haven't seen how happy your Majesty is today. Even if you insist on getting angry with him, the most your Majesty can do is scold him, and I'm afraid he won't even use the board.
Hey, why are you here?
It is better to make friends than to make enemies. Heed my advice and shake hands to make peace! Well, don’t worry, I will never lose you. I promise to ask him for a favor..."
Looking for benefits?
Li Chengzhi squinted slightly and glanced at Gao Zhan and Yuan Yue.
Are these two playing a double act for themselves?
It was already dark, and the expressions of the two men could not be seen clearly, but Li Chengzhi always felt a little uncomfortable.
"Wouldn't it be an advantage for him?" Yuan Yue sneered and changed the topic, "Unless he kowtows to Grandpa three more times..."
Shall I kowtow to you?
These two are really acting for themselves, otherwise how could Yuanyue change the subject so quickly?
If she really hated herself to the core, Yuan Yue would have been thinking hard about how to file a complaint to the emperor...
Li Chengzhi stopped and looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Tell me, what do you want?"
His thoughts were revealed, but Yuan Yue was not embarrassed at all. He snorted coldly: "Li Chengzhi, twice? Why is Gu also a prince? Aren't you afraid that one day Gu will gain power and settle the score with you?" p>
Waiting for the day when you will gain power?
Don't think about it while the emperor is alive. Once the emperor dies, even if I don't rebel, I will definitely no longer be in the capital. What can you settle?
I really don’t care about you...
Li Chengzhi was a little impatient: "King Ruyang, be happy!"
"Want to have fun? Okay!" Yuan Yue struck with both hands, "I won't embarrass you, just share the business of making ice and brewing wine with me, and the grudges between you and me will be eliminated..."
Li Chengzhi almost cursed.
I only have a few, why should I give you one?
Which of these is not huge profit? What kind of dream is it?
Just when he was about to refuse, his heart moved.
In comparison, Gao Zhan also works part-time and is not as free as Yuan Yue. Moreover, he does not love money as much as Yuan Yue, and his enthusiasm is much lower.
I dare not say that Yuan Yue has got into the eyes of money, but she is definitely the kind of person who is attracted by money. Plus she is a prince, and her methods are much better than Gao Zhan's.
I'm not afraid of him playing tricks. The worst thing is to please the emperor more and make Yuanyue fall into the trap of rats. Moreover, with Gao Zhao's tiger skin around, King Ruyang will definitely not dare to have any wrong thoughts...
Li Chengzhi mused: "It is impossible to be even. If King Ruyang wants to make some pocket money, he can make a living. You and I can work together. Just like Zicheng and I: I make it and you sell it!"<
/p>
You make it, I sell it?
Doesn’t it mean that you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to do it any day? I have no choice at all?
Yuan Yue rolled her eyes and was about to bargain when Gao Zhan quickly winked at him.
It is said that the emperor is a docile donkey, and Li Chengzhi is not much better. If Yuan Yue really tries to push the envelope, he may not even be able to catch a hair...
"Kekeke..." Gao Zhan nodded repeatedly and stopped Yuanyue from speaking.
"I don't even know what I do for a living, but what is it?" Yuan Yue was so depressed that she pulled Gao Zhan away, "Can you at least ask if you can make money first?"
Li Chengzhi pondered for a moment: "It will be no problem for King Bao Ruyang to build another house in the inner city in three to five years..."
Yuan Yue's eyes bulged, and she was about to say nonsense, but then she suddenly thought of the smoothie today: after only selling it for one day, her income was three to four thousand gold. After this month, wouldn't it be one hundred thousand? With three to four million gold in three years, you can easily buy a house...
"Could it be wine making?"
Li Chengzhi shook his head: "It's not wine, but King Ruyang can rest assured that the income will not be less than ice making and wine making... You will know then..."
In fact, they just sell tofu.
Not only is it delicious, but there is no need to worry about selling it. As long as it is an exclusive business, it will naturally be huge profits.
Moreover, the cost is extremely low, and people who can afford to eat can afford it: beans are relatively thick, and are mostly used as horse feed in good years, and almost no one eats them, so the price is even lower than millet.
And one pound of beans can produce four to five pounds of tofu. Even if the tofu is sold at the same price as the beans, there will definitely be a rush to get it. Even if you remove twice the labor, the profit should be about three times. What is it but a huge profit?<
/p>
"Don't lie to me?" Yuan Yue said suspiciously.
Am I free?
Li Chengzhi sneered silently: "Don't worry!"
……
Jinyong City, Guangji Palace!
Yuan Ke and Yuan Yi sat across the desk from each other. There were several pieces of paper on the desk, which densely listed the various income items from ice sales today.
Yuan Yi clutched a handful of calculation chips, and the more he calculated, the more sweat on his head became more and more, as if he was frightened.
The emperor was leaning on the back of the couch, staring at the top of the palace, thinking leisurely, not knowing what he was thinking.
After calculating it several times to confirm that it was correct, Yuan Yi's voice changed with surprise: "I was shocked when I heard that the ice cream sold for 4,000 gold today. But I didn't expect that Li Chengzhi had already sold it before
Get more than 120,000 gold in ice?”
Yuan Ke sighed, "Yes, even I didn't expect that there are so many?"
Everyone thought that although Li Chengzhi's smoothies sold well, it was very labor-intensive. They felt that they were musicians, servants, soldiers patrolling the streets, and government servants maintaining order, but these people's salaries were not
It’s a small amount. If you include the cost of ice and sweets, there won’t be much profit.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengzhi never thought about selling it like this from beginning to end. He just wanted to spread the word and sell it on this day.
Even Yuan Ke didn't expect that Li Chengzhi's biggest customer was neither an official nor a citizen, but a monk?
Yuan Ke was amazed when he thought of the way Gao Zhan imitated Li Chengzhi's tone that day when he came to see him.
Whether there are jujubes or not, let's hit it first... but with this hit, Li Chengzhi actually made a golden bump?
