Chapter Eighty-Eight: Conversation

Li Shen nodded and said, "Well, the steel bar technology will be provided to my uncle, but the traditional kiln is probably a little difficult, and it needs to be changed again, and the price cost is average." ”

"How much silver do you estimate?"

"The price of a kiln is about 500 yuan."

"The cost is a little too high." Eldest Sun Wuji said with a frown.

"Uncle Gao Gao also has a thought in his heart, to be honest, this business will be invested in these in the early stage, and he will earn more in the future."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shen and said, "Do you have any plans?" ”

Li Shen nodded and said: "It's all a family, so I must think about my family, and in the future, steel and cement buildings will rise in Datang, and now I don't grasp the opportunity to wait for when." The construction inside the lonely hotel, my uncle should have seen it, how does it feel? ”

"How much do you need?"

"Now we need at least a hundred, and the conditions are currently limited, and when the technology is mature, large-scale equipment can be used to forge steel."

"Fifty thousand, so much money, the old man can't take out so much for the time being."

"Uncle said it was funny, it's only 50,000 yuan, if you can't take it, if you can't say it, others won't believe it." Li Shen said with a smile.

The eldest grandson Wuji glared at Li Shen angrily, drank the liquor in the wine glass, and said: "You think that everyone is the same as you, and you can make millions of yuan by making an idea, and the family drinks an old snack, which one doesn't need money." ”

"Doesn't my uncle want to do it? If you don't do it, don't blame Lone, the nephew, for not taking care of you. ”

"Do it, why don't you do it, even if you go bankrupt, the old man will do it, but you kid must not be so kind, tell me about your conditions."

Li Shen smiled, he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Wuji knew that there were additional conditions to follow him, and he was still thinking about how to open his mouth before, but now that he asked, he also saved a lot of tongue, and said: "There is no free lunch in the world, no matter what is in front of Lone, it is the same for Lone, Lone is here to thank Uncle for being able to understand." ”

"Let's talk about your conditions first, the old man may not agree." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"There are two conditions, and for my uncle, it's just a little less money."

"Tell me about it."

"The minerals in the first Tang Dynasty originally belonged to the imperial court, and any private mining is illegal, and legal responsibility will be investigated, and private buyouts can be carried out, and how many minerals can be mined to pay a certain fee to the imperial court. The second is that the finished product also needs to pay a certain fee to the imperial court. ”

"The court doesn't seem to have this law, right?"

"Not having it now does not mean that it will not be in the future."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less." The eldest grandson Wuji said indifferently.

"If only my uncle could understand."

"Your Majesty also told the old man that you are going to change the law in Datang, and the new law will contain all aspects."

Li Shen nodded and said: "I have this plan, so I will implement this commercial law among familiar people in advance, and the large-scale trading markets in Chang'an City, including handmade soap factories and restaurants, will intercept some money as taxes for the imperial court." It's just that it hasn't been clarified how much tax will be collected. ”

"How much tax are you going to charge at the steel mill?"

"This is a lot, and Gu also knows that it is impossible for my uncle to buy out the iron ore, so the tax is at 35 percent."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji's face darkened, looked at Li Shen, and said, "The old man is your uncle, and with thirty-five percent of the tax, you let the old man post money to the court." ”

Li Shen smiled, picked up the wine jug and poured him a glass of wine, and said: "Whether you make money or not, this lonely still knows, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less, uncle, small profits and quick turnover, don't you need to explain to you, right?" Selling 10,000 tons of steel a day, do you say to make money or not? ”

"10,000 tons a day, you say it easily, you can refine it for the old man."

"Uncle, let's say this to you, you said that if Datang is gone, do you think the eldest grandson's family can continue to prosper?"

"You're not talking nonsense."

"If my uncle knows, why does he still feel that this tax is too much?"

"Anyway, thirty-five percent of the old man will definitely not agree."

"How much does Uncle feel appropriate?" Li Shen asked with a smile.

"Twenty percent, at most." Eldest Sun Wuji thought for a moment and said.

Li Shen shook his head and said, "No, at least thirty percent, otherwise the people will say that they are alone in protecting their families." ”

"How do they know?"

"Of course I know, Gu will announce all the taxes of Datang next, including the usage."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shen with a face full of disbelief and said, "You are simply a madman, do you know what the consequences of doing this are?" Even Your Majesty will not approve of you doing so. ”

"It's just that people are planning to do things, and it's just heaven that things are done, so how can my uncle know about it until the end?" Li Shen said with a smile and continued: "Uncle, thirty percent is my nephew's last concession, to be honest, I don't want to have too deep a conflict with my uncle." ”

Listening to Li Shen bite the word "contradiction" very hard, the eldest grandson Wuji pouted slightly, and said: "Qian'er, it's not that my uncle doesn't agree, if it's a loss, do you want your uncle to live on the streets?" ”

"Uncle is surprised by this, as long as my nephew is alive, I will always ensure that your eldest grandson's family stands at the top of the highest magnates in the Tang Dynasty, not to see your face, nor the face of the lonely sister, but to see the face of the lonely queen mother."

"Qian'er, uncle is here to thank you first, but 30 percent of the tax is too much, and my uncle can't bear so many taxes at all, so let's make a step alone, 25 percent, what do you think? Even if your uncle doesn't make money, you don't want your uncle to lose money, right? ”

Li Shen nodded and said: "Since my uncle said so, I had no choice but to agree, but I also said that Gu was ugly in front, this is the last time, and Datang will definitely reform in the future, and I hope that my uncle can understand Gu and don't embarrass Gu by talking about these useless things." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji froze slightly, then nodded, and smiled bitterly in his heart, no wonder His Majesty has to avoid this kid now, and after going through so many things, he has grown a lot, and what he says must be obeyed, stood up, and said: "Uncle still has something to deal with, so I will leave first." ”

Li Shen nodded, stood up, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Uncle, rest assured, no matter how Lone changes, he will not harm his relatives." ”
