"You!" He Jingjing was speechless angrily, so she could only stand up and look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a cheap face in disbelief.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't deceive people too much, ordinary shop merchants, collect two percent of the tax, and now you are forty percent of your mouth, who else will dare to come to the food street to do business in the future?

Ye Haixuan also felt that His Royal Highness the Prince's request was too much, and hurriedly helped He Jingjing speak.

"Imperial sister, you also said that I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I naturally have to think about the common people in the world. I know that you have a lot of ambitions, and the scale of the food street is definitely not as large as you would like, and what you want is to open the food street in any city in the Celestial Empire one day. ”

He Jingjing's heart calmed down a lot with excitement, sat down, and quietly looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and continued.

"No matter where you open a food street, you first need the support of the government. Are those ruffians and hooligans afraid of the title of Pingyang County Lord? No, what they are afraid of is just the local government. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words made He Jingjing fall into deep thought.

It is true that many street snack shop owners will be bullied by bullies to some extent, and the scene of mercenaries collecting protection money in the Longyuan Mountains is still vivid.

A big reason why food streets are sought after by merchants is that when doing business in food streets, there is no need to be afraid of thugs coming to collect protection money, and safety is greatly guaranteed.

All this can not be attributed to his title of Pingyang County Lord, but to the protection of the imperial court.

"In Linzhou Mansion and Shangjing, a few words of Pingyang County Lord may work, but a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, if you go to which countryside, do you think these words still work?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words reminded He Jingjing, sure enough, after a long time of comfort, he would ignore the stories that are staged every day in the market.

If you want to realize the business territory you want, you have to rely on the power of the government.

Rao is like this, and taking away half of the income still makes He Jingjing's heart bleed.

"The imperial court can control taxes, can maintain law and order, you can use the hands of the imperial court to carry forward the food street, open in any corner of the Celestial Empire, and even, open the marketing model of the food street in neighboring countries, open in the northwest territory. ”

His Royal Highness the Prince's words hit He Jingjing's heart like a heavy hammer.

Isn't this exactly the prosperity of the food street everywhere in the world that I pursue?

It is not enough to rely on yourself as a businessman, you have to rely on the power of the imperial court to go further.

"If you agree, the new merchants who settle in the food street will be exempted from taxes for the first three months, and then according to the standard of ordinary merchants, the income will be 20% like the tax charged by the state treasury. Wouldn't that be more people who want to be in the food court? Wouldn't you make more money?"

"There is also the issue of land allocation, if there is the support of the imperial court, you have a lot more bargaining chips for land, who can fight with you?"

The big cake in His Royal Highness the Prince's words slammed into He Jingjing's head, and her heart, which she thought would be as solid as a rock, shook quickly in an instant.

"Imperial sister, the conditions I opened are already very generous, are you sure you won't think about it again?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took a sip of tea, then crossed his hands, rested the back of his hands on his chin, and looked directly into He Jingjing's eyes and slowly spoke.

"It's a pity, you have to promise if you promise, and you have to agree if you don't. Forty percent of the tax, who would want to come to the food street? What's more, if you can't find a good place, there will be no flow of people, which is what you once said. ”

What else is there to think about now? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to win his own food street!

He Jingjing had no choice, she had to compromise, otherwise in the land of the Celestial Empire, she would have no way to realize her business ideals.

With a long breath, He Jingjing sneered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really prepared!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, the royal sister is so smart, and when she talks about business with the imperial sister, she naturally has to come prepared. ”

He Jingjing felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really a lot darker, and he should be a qualified quasi-emperor now.

"I agree. He Jingjing said these three words with difficulty, and after saying them, she was relaxed.

It's just that she loves money like her life, and when she thinks of giving half of the proceeds to the court, her heart is broken into scum.

"Imperial sister, that's right! Let's go to the Lotus Leaf Building for a good meal today, I'll have a treat!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand and was about to walk out of the room.

"Slow, I haven't finished my sentence yet, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so anxious?" He Jingjing looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was proud of the spring breeze and said.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at He Jingjing strangely: "Hasn't Fang Cai already negotiated? What else is uncertain? Oh! By the way, we haven't signed the pledge yet." ”

As he spoke, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince patted his head and took out the contract that had been prepared long ago from his arms, which was clearly stamped with the prince's big seal and the official seal of the household.

He Jingjing's temples jumped up suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and looked at His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Sister Huang, please!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince clapped his hands, came in with two maids, and respectfully handed He Jingjing cinnabar and a brush, and waited for He Jingjing to sign and draw with his handprint.

He Jingjing instantly felt that she was like a piece of meat pressed on the chopping board, unable to move, and could only accept the reality arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's amazing. He Jingjing said what he said, and after reading the terms and conditions to make sure that there was no problem, he signed and drew the charge, and the matter was settled.

This clause of losing power and humiliating the country made He Jingjing want to chop His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a knife.

"Eldest sister, the prince also has a hard time doing this. He Xiaoxiao saw that He Jingjing's expression was wrong, so she hurriedly came to He Jingjing's side, gently pulled her sleeve and said softly.

"What kind of ecstasy soup did he pour you, and why did you talk to him?" He Jingjing glanced at He Xiaoxiao angrily.

"Eldest sister, the Celestial Empire has just experienced a great war, and it has not yet recovered its vitality and vitality, and silver is needed everywhere, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also worried that there is no way, this silver can't fall from the sky, right? ”

"Anyway, he also hit the eldest sister for the sake of the people of the world, and you can see that he is still a qualified prince, don't be angry with him. ”

Her own little sister has buttoned Li Min's hat on her head, what else can He Jingjing say?

After glancing at Ye Haixuan with a dark face, he sighed deeply, waved his sleeves, and pulled Ye Haixuan out of the door.

"Sister Huang, don't you want to eat together?"

"Don't let me see you again, or I'll let you walk around without food!"
