Chapter 288: I Rule the World by Morality

Negotiating with the emperor and empress to do business seems like a magical thing.

Just like Lin Daiyu uprooting the weeping willows, the picture is full of a sense of disobedience.

How could the emperor and empress get the word money? They are obviously fairy characters who grew up drinking fairy dew and drinking the northwest wind.

However, the fact is that Li Zhi and Empress Wu are very down-to-earth, and when they heard "100,000 years old", their eyes were about to glow green, and the expressions of the two immortal characters at this moment were simply unbearable.

Yes, Li Zhi is very short of money, very short.

It is impossible for the emperor and empress to really drink the northwest wind to grow up, and if they do, it is also because of poverty.

"Tell me about it, what kind of charter?" Li Zhi leaned forward unconsciously, obviously interested in the project.

The huge palace, tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs, all need him to raise, not to mention that he also wants to repair the Taiji Palace, if possible, by the way, the unfinished project left by his father, the Daming Palace, is also repaired, which is also a big proof that he surpassed his father.

Li Qinzai made a gesture and said: "How to make ice cubes, Your Majesty and the Empress have seen it with their own eyes, when you know that this thing is actually very easy, let's choose someone you trust, grant him this method, and then organize a caravan to go to the Western Regions to eat, Tocharo, Tianzhu and other countries." ”

"The Western Regions are a barren land, drought and lack of water all year round, and there is no ice cube in summer, our ice cubes are sold to foreign countries and enjoyed by those powerful people, and the annual profit is no less than that of silk porcelain."

"What's more, this is a monopoly business, and ice cubes are consumables, there is only one in the world, there is no semicolon, Your Majesty might as well imagine that when the entire Western Regions begged us to sell ice cubes, how lucrative it would be."

Li Zhi and Empress Wu became more and more impatient, glanced at each other, and Li Zhi said: "The Western Regions is the only one that buys and sells, so in this way, the annual income is more than 100,000 yuan." ”

Li Qinzai said helplessly: "Security and confidentiality are a big problem, if you can't get through the Persian officialdom, or if the thieves covet the secret recipe for making ice cubes, it's hard to say......"

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhi's eyes suddenly widened and shouted, "Who dare!" ”

"I dare to covet my business, I don't want to live anymore!"

The hall was suddenly filled with a sense of king's spirit, and Li Zhi was like a bully who had been robbed of territory, and his eyes suddenly flashed fiercely.

Li Qinzai was not frightened by Wang Ba's anger at all, but carefully corrected: "Your Majesty, it is our partnership business, not your alone...... The minister had the courage to bring Xu Jingzong's eldest grandson in, and the three families partnered ......"

Li Zhi frowned: "What is the Xu family involved with?" Let him fuck off! ”

"Your Majesty, demeanor, demeanor, Xu Jingzong is the right minister, your right-hand man, give up some interests to him, and the court can help His Majesty, if there is any trouble, Xu Jingzong can also block it for His Majesty."

"Especially the matter of the Heavenly Family's businessman, it sounds a little unpleasant, wouldn't it be beautiful to let the Xu family carry this pot......"

Empress Wu gently tugged on Li Zhi's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what Jing Chu said is reasonable, the Xu family should not withdraw, you are the son of the Tang Dynasty, the transaction is just a matter of hand, Your Majesty must not forget the end." ”

Li Zhi suddenly sobered up, and suddenly realized that he was still the emperor, and the evil spirit that came out inexplicably just now was just a momentary desire for profit, and now after sobering up, he suddenly felt that the Xu family was really not suitable to kick out, and it was useful to keep it.

Coughing a little embarrassedly, Li Zhi smiled dryly: "I lost my temper, it's really ...... At the beginning of the Jingchu, you have to believe that I am not a profit-seeker, and the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty under my rule depends on money? Of course not, it's morality! ”

Li Qinzai tugged at the corners of his mouth and laughed.

After picking up the guests, set up a memorial arch to prove that their ice is clear and jade, which is understandable.

But it's still a bit disgusting to mention morality, since they have all picked up customers, you can change to a more reasonable reason, and it would be too much to talk about morality.

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhi said slowly: "Security and confidentiality are indeed problems, but the problem is not big, I will select a few skilled generals from the Praetorian Guards, and then issue a secret decree, let the Anxi Protectorate select a group of elite soldiers, all disguised as businessmen, let them handle this matter, presumably there will be no loss." ”

"If it is still coveted by thieves, it doesn't matter, I will let the Anxi Protectorate build a few stone forts at the border, and send border troops to garrison them all year round, one is to deter, and the other is to respond, it should be no big problem."

Li Qinzai said sincerely: "Your Majesty is thoughtful, and the ministers are not enough. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Jing Chu is not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you." When I wanted to repair the Taiji Palace, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty persuaded me, and I had to give up the proposal, and I really held back my breath in my heart. ”

"If my inner treasury fights for money and earns money, those courtiers with broken mouths can't say anything, the inner treasury is my private money bag, and I can spend it as I want."

The more Li Zhi spoke, the more excited he became, thinking that he would use the money from the inner treasury to repair the palace in the future, but those courtiers were so aggrieved that they couldn't say a word, and Li Zhi couldn't help but become more and more excited.

I like the way you don't like me and don't dare to scold me.

Li Qinzai immediately greeted him and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, in the future, Your Majesty's inner treasury will make money, and all of it will be converted into copper coins, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be gathered together, and Your Majesty will use copper coins to stone those poor ghosts alive, and this is how rich people can do whatever they want......

Li Zhi was stunned, hesitated for a while, and said, "...... This one, it is not necessary to be so excessive, it is enough to humiliate them with words. ”

Cui Jie, who was sitting silently, finally couldn't help it, sneered, and then lost her face, hurriedly covered her little mouth, and confessed repeatedly.

Empress Wu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's okay, Your Majesty is still quite dignified on weekdays, but when I was with your husband, I don't know why I changed my appearance, as if I had changed someone, your husband, this is not serious." ”

Cui Jie lowered her head and said, "Yes, husband, he ...... It's not very serious. ”

Empress Wu looked at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "Jing Chu, your wife knows more etiquette than you, but this palace still likes to see you don't know etiquette, so you don't see the outside." ”

Saying that, Empress Wu beckoned to Cui Jie, and said with a smile: "Let them talk about the private words of the man's family, and the palace will lead Mrs. Li to the harem to see the scenery in the garden. ”

Cui Jieqing knew that the monarch and ministers had important confidential matters to talk about, so she got up with interest and followed the Empress Wu to the harem.

After the second daughter left, Li Zhi's smile was still the same: "Jing Chu, the matter of the sale has been decided, plus the Xu family, the three of us are a partnership, if we can earn 100,000 yuan a year, my inner treasury will also have tens of thousands of items every year, save for a year or two, and my Taiji Palace can be repaired." ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Yes, the minister will do his best to help His Majesty fill the money bag." ”

Li Zhi nodded: "I don't just ask about the business, if there is any question in the future, Jing Chu can ask the queen, and the inner library is in charge of her." ”

Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

It turns out that when the emperor is also the housekeeper of his mother-in-law, when the men of the millennium are reluctant to hand over their monthly salary to their wives, they must be psychologically balanced.
