Chapter 485: An Agreement with the Emperor
"Oh? In this way, Wu Yonghou really has a heart. "When the emperor saw that Liu Xian took the initiative to contribute this time, he was happy.
He was worried about Liu Xian's identity, and worried that Liu Xian, the so-called young master of the Plains Palace, would affect the imperial status of himself or his descendants. So I've always had the intention to never get into trouble, but after a series of operations, I haven't been able to kill this guy.
Now this guy has learned the lesson last time, and he has to hand over the lesson of the method and technology of making toothbrush and toothpaste. Now I finally know how to take the initiative.
Anyway, before he failed to get rid of Liu Xian, if he could make him bow his head to himself, this would also be something that would make him feel a little more comfortable.
"Your Majesty, this is what Xiaohou should do, how to say it, Xiaohou is also a member of the Han family, and he should also do his part for the court. Xiaohou knew that after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court was in ruins, and there were many aspects that needed to use money. Xiaohou is not talented, and he can only contribute a little bit to the emperor. Liu Xian said.
The Emperor nodded and said, "Then...... Marquis Wu Yong, you said that you will give me 20% of the restaurant's profits, how much is this estimate? ”
"Your Majesty, who opened a restaurant, it's really hard to say whether this business is good or bad. Sometimes, it may be better, but sometimes it's not uncommon for people to care. So, it's really hard to say how many there are at this point. But please rest assured, no matter how many there are, this is a piece of Xiaohou's heart, and please don't excuse yourself. ”
Did I say no-bus? Don't be a fool if you can take money for nothing. The emperor glanced at Liu Xian in his heart, and then said: "Since Marquis Wuyong is so sincere, then I will naturally not push the robbery, but ......"
"If the emperor has any proposals, please speak up." Liu Xian lowered his hand.
"Heh, I don't have any proposals, but I think it's hard to say whether this business is a profit or a loss, what if this business is not good, or even a loss? Such...... How much money should Marquis Wu Yong give me? Is it possible, do you want Marquis Wu Yong to post it upside down? And also...... In fact, Wu Yonghou's restaurant, how much profit does it have...... Hehe, only you know, right? ”
"Huh? This one...... It's really hard to say if there are ups and downs in this business. If it's really a loss......" Liu Xian pretended not to think of this possibility, and looked a little embarrassed for a while, not knowing how to reply.
"I think that if you open a restaurant in the capital, as long as you run it well, you will definitely be able to make money. However, this has to be managed by you Wu Yonghou. I will give you a proposal, you can say that I gave you the name of the restaurant and licensed you to open it, so that you can tell others that your restaurant has my background. In this way, you can have a lot less trouble and can operate with peace of mind. But...... There is no need to mention the 20% profit given to me, if you really have this sincerity, then you can contribute a certain amount of money to the court every month. ”
"Good! The emperor's proposal is really good, everything is for the sake of Xiaohou. So, Xiaohou will give this amount to the emperor every month? ”
Liu Xian said, stretching out two fingers to the emperor.
"Two hundred thousand?" The Emperor frowned.
"No, no." Liu Xian shook his head.
"Two million?" The Emperor frowned.
If it's two million, it's not unacceptable. It's not that the emperor lacks two million dollars, but the palace has a huge monthly expense, and if he has two million more, it can indeed make him a little more relaxed.
"No, Xiaohou plans to give the emperor 20 million yuan a month."
"What? Twenty million dollars? The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, and then said, "Really? ”
"Seriously! As long as the emperor guarantees that the people's food is the sky, the restaurant can be named by the emperor, so that some people dare not come to the trouble of the people's food as the sky, so that Xiaohou can operate with peace of mind. In this way, no matter whether the restaurant makes money or loses, it will give the emperor 20 million yuan every month, which is 240 million yuan a year. I heard that some of the palaces built by the emperor are also in urgent need of money to build, right? With this sum of money, it is estimated that it will not take a year or two to build the palace into a paradise on earth according to what the emperor wants. ”
Liu Xian inquired that the wine pond meat forest built by the emperor had indeed not been completely completed. For the construction of these palaces, it is no longer possible to use the money from the state treasury, and only the private money belonging to the emperor can be used. But the emperor's private money is estimated to be seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and if there is no large amount of money in the account, the construction of those palaces is really far away.
240 million dollars a year, the emperor is really happy at this time.
As an emperor, it's not that he hasn't seen this money, but now he is really short of money. It's a plain get, an unexpected income.
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Xian is willing to give this amount of money to the emperor for nothing, that is, while the emperor does not know how profitable his restaurant is, let him think that he has taken a big advantage first. After deciding this matter, he can no longer reach out to himself, and it is not good to think crookedly about his restaurant.
"Okay, that's it, twenty million dollars!" The emperor hurriedly took a bite to say.
"Okay, if the emperor is worried that Xiaohou's words are unfounded, then we can set up a note, in the name of the emperor's shareholders to eat as the heavenly restaurant, and not participate in any management, but Xiaohou has to give the emperor a dividend of 20 million yuan every month." Liu Xian said inducingly.
"Yes, there is no basis for what I say, then I will write it now."
The emperor didn't even want to eat, so he got up at once, walked to the desk, picked up a pen and studied ink, and wrote down the note in a short time.
Liu Xian and the emperor each signed and signed the pledge.
After solving this, Liu Xian asked Huang Wudie, who was waiting outside, to hand over the several jars of wine he had brought with him to the guards and take them into the imperial study.
Liu Xian poured a few cups in front of the emperor, and naturally some guards came to try it, and after Liu Xian also tasted it, the emperor tasted it.
The emperor was immediately shocked by this product, because the wine brought by Liu Xian was indeed an excellent wine, not to mention the mellow aroma, at least these were the strongest wines he had ever drunk.
As soon as this wine entered his throat, it was like a fire, which made him feel comfortable all over, and he couldn't help but like this wine.
It is rare that he invited Liu Xian to accompany him to dine again, which is probably also a rare experience of sharing a meal.
The emperor liked wine, but the amount of alcohol was not very good. When he was seven or eight points drunk, the emperor actually talked to Liu Xian about his heart rarely.
"Marquis Wu Yong...... Uh......"
The emperor choked on wine and said to Liu Xian: "Hmm...... Brother Wang...... Actually, don't look at me as having three thousand beauties in the harem, but my heart is lonely...... My loneliness, who in this world can know. “
"Eh, Your Majesty, you're drunk."
"No, I'm massive, how can I get drunk so easily? You, you don't know, although I say that I am the emperor, the entire Han country is mine...... But, but who knows some of these conditions? My heart is also bitter. “
"Your Majesty, come, drink and drink." Liu Xian didn't want to hear too much about the emperor, the more he knew, the more dangerous it was, let alone what if he knew? I won't help him, and I won't help anything.
"Okay,!" The emperor drank another glass and said, "Brother Wang, I told you...... In this palace...... Hehe, there are a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods...... I don't know how many people want to murder me! Even, even the queen's slut...... Well, she, she wanted to kill me...... Also, there are ......"
"Your Majesty! Another day, Xiaohou asked people to send a cart of such the same wine into the palace to present to the emperor. That's all for today, Xiaohou still has to go to the restaurant to keep an eye on, after all, today is only the second day of opening. “
Liu Xian really didn't want to listen to the emperor talk drunken anymore, this wall had ears, so without waiting for the emperor to say more, Liu Xian interrupted loudly.
Liu Xian's loud drinking also played a role, and the emperor was shocked, and sure enough, he regained a trace of clarity.
"Uh...... Okay, in the future, Brother Wang, you will enter the palace more often, and accompany the union to drink and chat. The emperor didn't keep Liu Xian and said a polite word.
The emperor's heart was also secretly shocked at this time, he was indeed drunk often, but every time he got drunk, he wouldn't say drunken words, but he didn't know that in the face of Liu Xian this time, he almost drank in front of him and spit out the truth. No, not almost, some have already been said.
This, in fact, is indeed the relationship between the wine, drinking the elixir and jade liquid in the palace, the degree is low, and the stamina is not so great, and now the wine brought by Liu Xian, the wine strength is up all of a sudden. That's why the emperor is a little out of shape.
In fact, even if the emperor doesn't talk drunk, Liu Xian knows that the emperor is not so good, and he also knows that the imperial power is on the side, and he, the emperor, is indeed similar to a puppet emperor. It's just that those traitors are well disguised, and ordinary people won't know about it.
Liu Xian left and left the palace without incident.
But Liu Xian left on his front foot, and the eunuchs in the palace also knew about Liu Xian's entry into the palace, and hurriedly went to the imperial study to meet the emperor.
"Your Majesty! That Liu Xian actually dared to enter the palace, this was an excellent opportunity to get rid of him! Why, why did he leave the palace safely? “
Zhao Zhong seemed to be more anxious than the emperor when he wanted Liu Xian's death, and he was anxious when he saw the emperor.
"Yes, Your Majesty, in fact, don't say get rid of Liu Xian directly, but transfer some forbidden troops and restrain Liu Xian first. Then he announced to the public that the emperor deliberately left Liu Xian to live in the palace for a few days......"
The emperor patted his head, and indeed said with some annoyance: "Well, I was confused at this time......
"But...... Liu Xian came to offer wine this time, and he gave me 20 million, which is 20 million per month in the future...... Yes, I just heard that, so ...... I didn't expect to leave Liu Xian in the palace. “
"Twenty million?"
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were a little surprised.
They looked at the note signed by the emperor and Liu Xian, and couldn't help but wonder and said: "Liu Xian opened that restaurant so profitable?" How do I feel something is wrong? “
"It's a little wrong, Liu Xian came to send money for no reason, and this gift is still 20 million per month, and it will be 240 million a year. If we pay the price earlier, this money is enough to change all the three princes and nine kings in our court. “
"Offering wine? Sending money? By the way, did any of Liu Xian's restaurant report some secrets after the opening? “
Zhang Rang said at this time.
"There should be...... Look for ......"
"Is that all the wine? Let's try it too. “
A few regular attendants, when they came to the imperial study, seemed to have returned to their own home, and they did whatever they wanted to do unceremoniously.
After each of them tasted the wine, they were all a little surprised. I was amazed at how good these wines were.
"I found it, there is a report on the opening of Liu Xianna's restaurant yesterday."
Zhao Zhong took out one from a large pile of compromises at this time.
"Liu Xian's people's food-based restaurant, as soon as it opened, it was extremely popular, full of guests, and attracted many guests to line up to enter. The restaurant is indeed different, innovating different ways of eating and drinking, the dishes taste excellent, which makes people full of praise, and the wine of the restaurant has been regarded by the guests as a heavenly wine, and most of the guests are going to the wine. In addition, the restaurant launched a song and dance girl named Diao Chan, a song that shocked the audience, a new style of singing, catchy, and the artistic conception of the lyrics is evocative. This woman is also a great beauty who has captivated the country and the city......"
"This Liu Xian, it's really not simple, it's just opening a restaurant, and it can be done to such a point...... A great beauty who captivates the country and the city? There was a strange glint in the emperor's eyes.
"Full! It's actually full, and there are still people queuing up and can't enter the restaurant? “
Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have different emphasis, but they also have a greedy light in their eyes.
"If the wine in the restaurant is similar to the wine dedicated to the emperor, then the price will definitely not be too cheap. How many people can you receive in a day when it is full? Thousand? Two thousand? In this way, how much money can Tianlou make in a day? “
Among the ten permanent attendants, there are also people who are good at calculations and even know how to operate.
Soon, someone calculated that Tianlou's daily turnover was estimated to exceed 100 million yuan.
Drawing this number, the imperial study room couldn't help but be silent. The emperor and the ten permanent servants of them, you look at me.
"Damn! Fallen for this little traitor's trick! “
The emperor scolded angrily and slapped the desk hard.
can have a turnover of hundreds of millions a day, and only dedicate 20 million to yourself this month?
Ha, this is a typical lack of human hearts.
Not long ago, I was full of joy, thinking that I had taken a big advantage, but now that I know that Liu Xian has earned so much, I suddenly feel uncomfortable.
But what can be done about it? I just made a note with Liu Xian, is it now back-to-the-clock?
Seeing that Liu Xian could make so much money again, these people present were extremely uncomfortable.
"I knew that I would have left Liu Xian in the palace......"
The emperor said quietly.
At this time, they didn't know how to deal with Liu Xian.
"Opening a restaurant, it is estimated that it is a hot spot these days, and it will definitely not be possible to make so much money in the future. Let's watch first, and slowly figure out how to get him. ”
Zhang Rang thought about it and comforted the emperor.
Now it is not possible to go up to the sky tower from the court, Liu Xian got the note signed by the emperor, Liu Xian can use this, borrow the emperor's name, and make the court difficult to move.
Tearing their faces doesn't exist, it's still that sentence, unless they can get rid of Liu Xian directly, otherwise, they can't bear the consequences of forcing Liu Xian to rebel.
