Chapter 331: Kill me

Full of wine and food, the queen got the promise of Liu Dashao's ten dressing mirrors and left the imperial study satisfied.

"Outsiders say that Young Master Ben is a willow peel, and I don't know how kind Young Master Ben is compared to the real peeling." Watching the queen leave with a dignified manner, Liu Mingzhi held his mouth and secretly discussed.

Is this the case, a bullock that was just killed, didn't even last night and rushed to honor you, you are good, you have to extort the young master's silver while eating this young master's things.

As the saying goes, when the emperor is angry, he bleeds and drifts, and when he is angry, he eats the last meal and looks for the next meal, Confucius said: "It's really right to say that you are tired." ”

Liu Dashao could only endure it aggrievedly.

Li Zheng took off his thick cotton clothes after the queen left, and put on a light robe, and now the temperature in the imperial study can be said to be like spring all year round, Liu Dashao felt that his back was soaked with sweat, and he was uncomfortable.

The crown prince Li Baiyu also kept twisting and twisting, thinking that the situation would not be much better than Liu Dashao, but he didn't dare to take off his robe, and one bad thing was that the king lost his manners.

Li Zheng moved a few times: "It's still a light robe, Liu Aiqing, you have done a big thing for me." ”

"The minister is willing to shed blood and liver for His Majesty, and His Majesty is the guiding light on the road of the minister's life, shining in the direction of the minister's progress."

The prince could only pretend to look in the direction to the side, and he really couldn't stand Liu Dashao's expression of licking the horse like a dog, everyone is human, why can you be so shameless.

Although Li Zheng was very embarrassed by Liu Dashao, he still pretended to reprimand Liu Dashao: "Liu Aiqing, pay attention to your words and deeds, if you stand on top of the court one day and still talk like this, Xia Aiqing will have to join you to bewitch your heart." ”

"Yes, the minister obeys the order, but even Lord Xia is unswerving, because this is the minister's true words."

"Okay, okay, the prince is also here now, let's talk about the 10 million taels of silver, I'm still waiting for you to make a military order."

For fear that Liu Dashao would pout bald again and pat himself out of bounds, Li Zheng had to interrupt Liu Dashao's praise.

The crown prince Li Baiyu also looked at Liu Mingzhi with a serious expression, he was full of food and drink, it was time to talk about business, 10 million taels of silver was not a small amount to anyone, if he could really earn 10 million taels of silver for the treasury, his position would be more secure.

The crown prince put his position very right, this silver is said to be his own, but in fact, it is all his father's, if he really takes this ten million taels of silver as his own, his position will also be over.

Talking about business, Liu Mingzhi also put on a correct look: "Your Majesty, now that the land of Jingshi is in a severe cold season, the weather has not yet snowed and it is already so cold, and when the snow melts, it will definitely be frozen, as far as the minister knows, the price of charcoal in Jingshi has been staying for a long time, even three liters a day, one tael of silver, two taels of silver, if the weather has been cold, the price of charcoal will rise to the price of five taels of silver It is not impossible, the minister has no alarmist meaning, Your Majesty should understand." ”

Li Zheng nodded solemnly: "What you said is true, now the price of charcoal is rising, and even the use in the palace has been saved again and again, so you can know what the situation of the people is." ”

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's understanding, the price of charcoal in the capital today is not at all what ordinary people can consume, even ordinary and solid families are thrifty, and the charcoal burns very fast, and the temperature in the room will become cold after not being maintained for long, so the minister came this time to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a business."

Li Zheng's brows furrowed, and his eyes wandered between Liu Dashao and the prince: "Liu Aiqing, do you know what you're talking about?" The heavenly family can't compete with the people for profit, you actually want to cooperate with the prince in business? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister naturally knows what the minister is talking about, but Your Majesty, ten million taels."

Li Zheng pondered for a while: "The 10 million taels of silver you said is the dividend of wanting to cooperate with the prince in business?" ”

"Naturally, Your Majesty Mingjian, even if the minister has some family business, but he can't give away tens of millions of silver assets at will, now not only is the Beijing division bitterly cold, but the weather in the thirty-six state capitals of the north is only afraid that it is not much better than the Beijing division, Yingzhou Suzhou is adjacent to the grassland border, and it is extremely cold, they can't afford to use charcoal as a luxury item, but they can afford to use briquettes This kind of thing developed by the minister."

"How much do briquettes cost? How much do you need to consume cars and horses, do you know clearly? ”

"The minister has made accurate calculations, the benefits are monstrous, the people of the thirty-six state capitals in the north are enough to make the minister make a lot of money, and this business is a partnership between the minister and the Marquis of Guannei, he has now acquired all the mines in the land of the capital, which is enough to maintain the supply of briquettes before the thaw this year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have to do anything, three percent of the profits, what does Your Majesty think?"

Li Zheng got up and walked to the coal stove, squatted on the ground and groped for the briquettes piled together: "Sancheng Ganli wants to pull the prince into your chariot, and the prince's meat shield is worth Sancheng Ganli?" Liu Aiqing can't help but think that the prince of a country is too worthless, right? ”

"Your Majesty, Sancheng has made a lot of profits, the minister and the Marquis of Guan Nei have spent more than one million taels of silver to purchase the mine, which requires a lot of capital to make briquettes and build coal furnaces, Yasukuni Gong and Wu Guogong each have to share two percent of the profits, plus three percent of His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister and the Hou of Guan Nei will earn a capital, the three layers of profits are nearly 10 million taels, and the ministers will make a whole 10 million taels of silver to give to His Royal Highness, a lot, Your Majesty, the minister's heart is dripping blood!"

"Oh? It turned out that Wan Aiqing and Yun Aiqing were also involved in this business, and it happened that the two Aiqing were both cultivating in the house, so why don't you gather the two Aiqing together to discuss it? They will certainly be happy. ”

Li Zheng smiled playfully and looked at Liu Dashao, who was as uncomfortable as cutting flesh with a sad and angry face.

"Huh!" Liu Dashao smiled stupidly: "Your Majesty, the two princes are very old, and it takes a lot of effort to gather them over, the weather outside is very cold, so forget it." ”

"It's okay, I can send a carriage to pick up the two Aiqing and prepare a charcoal basin for them to keep warm, it won't delay much."

The crown prince Li Baiyu also raised the corners of his mouth lightly: "Father, the son is willing to take the lead and personally welcome the two adults." ”

Li Zheng glanced at the prince with satisfaction, he was worthy of being his own son, and the cooperation was perfect.

sighed helplessly, it's not easy to fool, it seems that he's going to bleed heavily: "What does Your Majesty mean, please speak clearly, and listen to your ears." ”

Li Zheng gently walked back to his place and sat on the dragon chair: "You also said it yourself, the interests are monstrous, you must know that in a place like the capital, there are indispensable people with interests, once the matter is big, don't talk about the prince, even I can't stop it, the prince is blocked by you and the Hou of Guannei, and it is not suitable for Sancheng to do it in a reasonable way." Let's not talk about how much risk the prince has to bear, even the imperial historians' edicts are enough for me to have a headache, just like what you said to me in Erlongshan that day, in business, how much money you can get, the prince's name is worth more than the two of you, Liu Aiqing, what do you say? ”

Liu Dashao looked at Li Zheng with a complicated expression, this is the dignity of a country, this is clearly a businessman who is a philistine, and he is also the kind of ruthless person who eats people without spitting out bones.

"Your Majesty thinks it will be better?"

"Seventy percent, the prince will take the risk of competing with the people to cooperate with you."

Liu Dashao was sullen for a while, and felt that a mouthful of old blood was about to gush out, and he wanted to spit on the emperor's face, Qicheng, you kill me.
