"Father-in-law, son-in-law......"

Rao is Cheng Zhijie is thick-skinned enough, and in the face of such a humiliating thing, he is also a little uncomfortable when he is stuck in his mouth.

Looking at his father-in-law again, the old man has always thought that his second son-in-law is the number one military general in the Huaiyang Army, and with his son-in-law on the side, even if he is excluded in the army, he also has a hard helper, and he is not afraid of the other party's repeated provocations. But just now, his faith collapsed......

When he found out that he was deceived by his son-in-law, and he was deceived for more than ten years, it was difficult for individuals to accept.

What's more, Liu Duyu Hou still treats his son-in-law as a son, who let his old man give birth to a litter of daughters and not give birth to a son?

In just a short moment, Liu Baosheng seemed to be a lot older, and said with a long sigh: "Zhijie, you are also not too old, can't you learn the stability of the big tiger?" ”

Han Dahu was stunned, he found that his status was suddenly raised by his father-in-law to the point where he had only dreamed before.

Hesitating, there was both surprise and panic, he had a kind of panic at a loss, and the moment he turned his head to see Li Kui, he understood. The father-in-law had not given up the preparation of the secret recipe at this time. Li Kui has the secret recipe in his hand that makes the Liu family soar, he can't have a second son-in-law, and he doesn't even want the little daughter who is most relied on by him, right?

Besides, his daughter is in the palace, and she has indeed won the favor of the emperor, just one step away, just one step away, he will have the opportunity to go to Bianliang as the national abbot and be his honor.

When Cheng Zhijie saw this scene, he knew that he was no longer the favorite baby by his father-in-law's side, and in just an instant, he fell out of favor.

What a ruthless heart!

Liu Baosheng may not be a good general, or even a good father. But when it comes to making decisions, he is definitely a ruthless person. After a short period of thought, he made a decision to give up on Cheng Zhijie completely. It's mud that can't hold up the wall, and it's not worth his energy to pay attention to him at all.

Come to think of it, that's what it is.

Liu Baosheng was able to send his daughter who was less than ten years old into the palace ruthlessly, and she was also a concubine, how could she care if a son-in-law fell out of favor?

He wants more, ascends to the sky in one step, and becomes a relative of the emperor. Or lose it all, have nothing.

His immediate support for his third son-in-law is really chilling, but it also makes Li Kui feel that it is not simple, this is a decisive person. knew that Han Dahu and Li Kui had an old relationship and had a bit of acquaintances, so he did not hesitate to use the third son-in-law. Of course, there is also a possibility that Liu Baosheng is tragically not available by his side. He didn't even have a person to give advice, but he had a dream of attaining the title of Marquis and Worship the Duke.

"Let's talk about it today, not another day." Liu Baosheng glanced at his second son-in-law Cheng Zhijie and decisively gave up. smiled at Li Kui and said: "Li Kui, you have already won, the conditions can naturally be mentioned by you, but the Liu family has no money to spare, and wants to rely on this business to recover, if this business is not profitable, I'm afraid the Liu family will not give you nothing to do, isn't it reasonable?" ”

Li Kui arched his hand and said: "Those who benefit will gather people's hearts when they divide it; Those who are together, the hearts of the people are scattered. Although the kid is despised, he also knows that cooperation is the existing common interest, and then talk about working together. ”

"Good boy, the old man has a daughter who has not yet come out of the cabinet!"

Li Kui was stunned, he couldn't figure it out, how many daughters did this third-in-command of the Huaiyang Army have?

How can you see your daughter and not your son?

Han Dahu was the master of this place, so he naturally had to take on the responsibility of greeting, and pulled Li Kui and said: "Brother Xian, go to the house and talk slowly, the wine and food have been prepared, I will talk while eating." ”

"Send the second aunt to the guest room to rest."

The group walked through the cloister and into the backyard. Li Kui was a little embarrassed, after all, this was Han Dahu's most private place, and it was also the place he didn't like to be disturbed the most, and it was probably not appropriate for him to come as an outsider.

Han Dahu saw Li Kui's strange appearance, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian doesn't need to be restrained, this is another courtyard for brothers, and women don't live here." ”

Big dogs!

Li Kui secretly scolded in his heart, a small inspection is just a small inspection envoy, and the sesame has a big future, and he dares to repair the house one after another, which is too hateful. He only has four dilapidated houses, which are still shared property with Li Dalang, and even more unfortunate is that two rooms collapsed, and if he separates, he won't even have a place to cook.

After sitting down, Liu Baosheng's face could no longer see the slightest loneliness, but he picked up the wine glass to salute Li Kui.

Li Kui felt like a cat's paw in his heart, he was an impatient, but he couldn't wait for such a slow and logical way of talking. Ask directly: "Before drinking and eating, let me tell me about the charter!" ”

Liu Baosheng was not annoyed, nodded and said, "It's okay, the virtuous nephew is okay." ”

"First, the secret recipe can't be given to you." Li Kui raised his index finger, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Han Dahu's face changed abruptly, there was no secret recipe, what kind of cooperation did they talk about.

Li Kui didn't care about the surprise and anger of Weng and his son-in-law, but said to himself: "You should know that there is a lack of trust in cooperation between us. I was given the secret recipe, and I was not at ease. But if you don't give me the secret recipe, you are worried about changing the fortune, and if I choose another partner, you will be disappointed. ”

"That's right." Han Dahu nodded hurriedly, and said anxiously: "Think twice, virtuous brother!" Although we had a misunderstanding before, it was all instigated by my second brother-in-law. ”

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs, everyone understands people, so don't talk nonsense." Li Kui frowned and said: "This is also the result of my careful consideration, giving you the secret recipe is nothing more than a one-shot deal." The secret recipe for the purification of sea salt, worth millions. Do you have the financial resources to buy the secret recipe? And how long do you think this business can be done and how beneficial is it? ”

"If the secret recipe is not revealed, you can do it in this life!" Han Dahu is stupid and doesn't know the truth.

Li Kui sneered: "Stupid, such a huge profit, unless your family has a queen or a prince, you can keep it." If not, it's a year or two of business at most. When the time comes, instead of making people's eyes hot, it is better to offer it, not only so that the noble person in the palace can have merits to rely on, but also let you appear in the eyes of the nobles, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? Wouldn't it be better if the official family doted on your daughter and had a concubine from the head? ”

"The virtuous nephew is naturally the one who offers the secret recipe, I can just wait for the introduction!" Liu Baosheng was stunned, and then he was overjoyed. He is not hierarchical enough, mainly nesting in the local area, and cannot see the means of high-end power schemes. But he is a person who knows a little.

The vision is not bad for anyone, and as soon as he heard it, he understood the meaning of Li Kui's words, since he couldn't keep it, he simply changed the credit. Especially with a sober mind like Li Kui, he can still say the benefits of millions and don't want it decisively, in the future, his daughter really wants to be a concubine in the palace, isn't there a lack of such bold and strategist people around him?

The Liu family has a credit, Li Kui has a credit, and the palace can still get a credit. This is definitely the best ending. This secret recipe really can't fall into the hands of the Liu family, once Li Kui is bypassed, Li Kui is busy in vain.

"However, you should also know that the identity of the boy is the people. And salt production is related to salt supervision, and I can't get through these relationships. You need to prepare the raw materials and sales for me. ”

Liu Baosheng nodded and said, "What the virtuous nephew said is reasonable. ”

"Father-in-law!" If you want to say that Liu Baosheng has a low level, it is because he is limited by the pattern, and he can see through it as long as he clears the fog. But Han Dahu, a nine-grade inspector, what pattern can he see?

Liu Baosheng looked at Li Kui more and more pleasantly, there was one less person around him who gave advice, but now this person was in front of him, but they had a big misunderstanding and a knot that could not be solved in a short time. But if you become a son-in-law, is it still a thing? Liu Baosheng has no confidence in fighting; For business, he will not either; But when it comes to giving birth to a daughter, he is absolutely superhuman, all of them are beautiful, and he has absolute confidence in his daughter. Otherwise, the daughter he sent to the palace would be able to stand out in front of the three thousand beauties and be favored by the emperor?

Especially Li Kui's brain is too easy to use, with him in detail, he has a much better chance. There is no one around him who has an idea, and it is really difficult for him.

"If the virtuous nephew says so, there must be a solution." Liu Baosheng humbly asked, it is quite rare for him to be able to do this step. After all, he is a fourth-grade general, if Li Kui is the son of a second-grade master, even if he puts on a flattering posture, he will not look abrupt.

But Li Kui is a mountain man, with no fame and no family background.

In the face of such an ordinary person, Liu Baosheng can maintain such forbearance, which is enough to see that he is not simple.

These years have been unsatisfactory, or they have been forced by the commander and deputy commander, and they are more unwilling to accept the status quo.

After discussing with such a negotiation opponent, Li Kui raised the spirit of 120,000 points and said: "It's very simple, adopt an underwriting system, that is to say, how much snowflake salt I can produce, you can buy it all, and then sell it exclusively, and don't sign with other companies." But throughout the year, or every month, there is an underwriting quota, such as 10,000 catties, or 30,000 catties, once the contract is signed, half of the deposit needs to be paid. Of course, in this way, your risk is greater, so the underwriting price can be lower, two pounds. ”

"Can you make money?"

Liu Baosheng is a military general, he doesn't know how to do business, so he naturally has to ask his son-in-law Han Dahu about business problems.

Han Dahu was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded: "I can make money, but the deposit seems to be higher." ”

"The deposit is non-negotiable, and this is also for your good. If someone buys a pound of 100 pounds, and you price a pound of 100 pounds, you can only sell 100 pounds a month, and I just sell you 10 pounds of a pound, and it is only a business of 1,000 pounds, even if there is no capital and all profits, how much can it have? If you are in line with small profits and quick turnover, the price is five, and the sales of 10,000 catties a month are a business of 50,000 yuan a month, although it is hard for me, but you make more money, why not? ”

The business concept of marginal effect made Han Dahu's eyes shine suddenly.

Yes, if the pricing is too exaggerated, not only will it not bring enough income to itself, but it will kill the business.

He even wanted to make up his mind for 50,000 catties of snowflake salt in one go, even if it was sold for four catties per catty, and if he threw away the freight guy's store, he could at least drop 60,000 or 70,000 catties. That's twice as much as the father-in-law and sons-in-law combined. Doing business should be like this, Han Dahu even wants to stop the official body of the inspection department, the inspection envoy of Jiupin can take care of him if he is an official, it is better to do business.

But half of the deposit, where can he get 50,000 yuan in cash?

Basically, all the funds he could use were sent to his father-in-law to the capital to dredge up the relationship between the palace. The deposit alone made Han Dahu sit on wax.

"Brother Xian, now that my brother is not in his hands, I don't know if I can give some leniency?"

Han Dahu pleaded, it stands to reason that Li Kui should be given a reduction as appropriate. The grange and land that he could mortgage were exchanged for money to his father-in-law. As for Cheng Zhijie and his eldest brother-in-law, they are poorer than him, and they have no money to spare at all. Let's talk about my father-in-law...... This is a ruined character, he sold everything he could sell, and borrowed everything he could borrow, so it would be a fool's dream to let him pay the capital.

But the problem is that he can't help it!

Li Kui is poorer than Han Dahu, and he is still waiting for the deposit to order utensils such as pots, otherwise he can only stare dryly! He couldn't help but ask: "By the way, didn't you say that you want to dredge the palace?" Who will give this money to, and will it be possible to give it later? ”

"There is news in the palace that the Empress Dowager has chosen the granddaughter of Ma Jundu Yu Hou Meng Yuan as the queen for the official family, and the queen has an elder brother who is familiar with my eldest brother, and this money is for him to help dredge." Han Dahu, as a participant, had interests with Li Kui, so he naturally did not shy away from it and told them about their plan.

But after Li Kui heard this, his face changed abruptly, and he stood up under the surprised eyes of Liu Baosheng and Han Dahu, and left a sentence and walked out: "I don't do business with fools!" ”

Pushing open the door, there were more than a dozen people standing at the door of Hula, all holding steel knives in their hands, although the knife was not unsheathed, but the half-pulled snow and bright blade had been exposed, and the cold was pressing. Several people near the door were masked and their eyes were exposed. But there was a suspicious look in his eyes, and he looked at Li Kui with a brush. The first old man, with gray hair and a masked, was wearing a broken armor that was short of catties and two, and asked loudly: "Kui Wazi, are you okay?" ”
