The fundamental reason why Emperor Qianwu only carried out a small imperial tea business in the capital during this period of time and did not carry out the refined salt business was because the refined salt business was very important.

At the beginning, Emperor Qianwu saw a vast prospect in refined salt, and the refined salt was purified by Li Changfeng's multi-layer technology, which was harmless and edible, far better than today's official salt.

It stands to reason that according to Li Changfeng's proposal when he was in the Evergreen Palace, it would be easy to sell a box for one hundred and sixty-six taels.

But at that time, Emperor Qianwu was also blinded for a while, and when he returned to the capital, he remembered that if the matter of refined salt was not handled well, it would be easy to oppose the family if he was not careful.

Don't look at Emperor Qianwu is now the emperor of Daqian, but he is still taboo about the family.

The overthrow of the Dafeng Dynasty at the beginning, although it was due to his revelation, but in fact, many aspects relied on the power of the family.

At the beginning, Emperor Qianwu set up Daqian in order to overthrow the Dafeng Dynasty, but he promised a lot of promises from the family, and he was determined to become an emperor through the ages, and was admired by later generations.

If this matter is not handled well, it will be very troublesome.

After Gao Dali's explanation, Li Changfeng understood more clearly the extraordinaryness of the family.

In the final analysis, the establishment of today's Daqian has the help of the eight great families.

The eight great families are all ancient families with a long heritage, many of which have gone through several dynasties, not only in the court, but also in the people and the rivers and lakes.

After Li Changfeng learned about it, he learned that these eight families, like princes, not only controlled a lot of private business, but also had corresponding support in the court, and even had private soldiers, and their power was monstrous.

If other people dared to raise private soldiers, Emperor Qianwu would naturally be the first to let go.

But the fact that the family has private soldiers is also the original Emperor Qianwu in order to overthrow the previous dynasty, cooperated with the eight great families, and promised to the eight great families.

Even some people from the Eight Great Families did not need to bow down when they saw Emperor Qianwu.

It can be seen that the family's energy in this world is huge, and Li Changfeng feels like an ancient family in his previous life.

The official salt has also been firmly controlled by the Wang family, one of the eight great families.

In the past, although Emperor Qianwu knew that the Wang family was in the hands of the Wang family, he also knew that the official salt of the Wang family was the best salt in the world, and even the royal family did not have such technology, so he turned a blind eye.

Now that there is a more famous refined salt, I naturally don't want the official salt business to continue to be controlled by the Wang family.

In the final analysis, on the one hand, Emperor Qianwu hoped to improve the food and health of the common people in the world with the help of refined salt, and on the other hand, the income from the official salt business was too high, and even after a year of tax expenditure, the last tax expenditure of the Great Qian, which could finally enter the treasury, was not more than a fraction of the official salt sold by the Wang family.

Can Emperor Qianwu not be moved?

Very excited!

If there is more money, it can be invested in the people's livelihood and the army, and the cadres will be better managed.

Moreover, Emperor Qianwu did not want the official salt business to be controlled by the family, but hoped to be firmly in the hands of the imperial court.

Because the official salt is too big and related to the people, if the Wang family takes the opportunity to rebel, the official salt alone is enough to make hundreds of people work for it, and the threat to the court is too great.

But Emperor Qianwu was also unwilling to stand on the opposite side of the Wang family.

After returning to the capital, Emperor Qianwu did not think of a suitable way, so he hoped to listen to Li Changfeng's opinion.

After Li Changfeng pondered for a moment, he said: "Father, the Eight Great Families are to assist you in establishing a great cadre, and you are also well respected among the people. At this stage, it is not worth offending the Wang family, if the Wang family does not like it, they are also interested in the reputation of your father. ”

Emperor Qianwu nodded approvingly, and said, "In that case, what can you do?" ”

Li Changfeng rolled his eyes, this cheap emperor father is also shameless, it is clearly a problem he has to deal with, and he actually pushed it on himself.

However, refined salt, which can be a business that makes money every day, is impossible for him to let go of in public or private, so he said: "Actually, there is no way." ”

"What's the solution?"

Emperor Qianwu's eyes lit up, he originally told Li Changfeng, he just wanted to talk about it, some things, even if he told Empress Murong who was closest to him, it was useless, it would only add to Empress Murong's troubles.

He didn't want Empress Murong to have a little more trouble in managing the harem.

But Li Changfeng is different, Emperor Qianwu thinks it's okay to annoy this bastard boy, who made him angry all day long.

I didn't expect this bastard boy to really have a way.

Li Changfeng said: "It's very simple, subtle, and gradual. ”

Emperor Qianwu and Gao Dali glanced at each other, but they didn't understand, so they frowned and said, "So? ”

Li Changfeng said with a straight face: "Father, when you were on the shore of Xiuli Lake, your son once asked you to make refined salt into small tribute salt, and the price of a box is one hundred and sixty-six taels, and this can also be done on this." If refined salt is rashly released on the market in large quantities, it will inevitably disturb the original market environment of official salt, and the Wang family will naturally target it, which is very unfavorable to us and even to the imperial court. ”

"But if the direction of refined salt at the beginning is placed in the high-end market, oh, the so-called high-end market refers to the group that is not rich but expensive." He first explained the meaning of the high-end market, and then said: "At the beginning, the output of refined salt is very small, and the price is extremely high, one hundred and sixty-six taels per box, do you think the Wang family will be so hostile?" ”

Emperor Qianwu's eyes lit up, and he had to say that it was really a second.

If a large amount of refined salt is rashly put on the market, it will inevitably seriously impact the Wang family's official salt business, and in this way, it will inevitably dislike the Wang family.

But if you start with a high-end market, with low production and high prices, not many people can afford it at all.

Even if the Wang family knew about it, they wouldn't have much to complain about at all.

In the final analysis, the output of refined salt is too low, and there are too few people who buy it, and the buyers are only a drop in the bucket of official salt, and there is no threat at all.

"What do you mean by occupying the high-end market first, and then gradually expanding the voice of refined salt, so that the Wang family will relax step by step, and let refined salt gradually occupy the market that originally belonged to official salt?" Emperor Qianwu was so smart, otherwise he would not have become the founding emperor of Daqian, and he immediately understood what Li Changfeng meant by the so-called subtle and gradual progress.

"Father is really smart." Li Changfeng smiled and raised a middle finger at him, making Emperor Qianwu frown: "Why did you raise your middle finger, why do I feel weird?" ”

"My father misunderstood, and raising his middle finger meant to praise others for being very smart." Li Changfeng explained with an unchanging face, it was impossible for him to say that he just wanted to raise his middle finger and despise Emperor Qianwu.

"I see." Emperor Qianwu nodded, "You go on." ”

Li Changfeng put away his fingers and said, "Time is the greatest power in the world. We can first use refined salt to occupy the high-end market, and then over time, step by step to reduce prices, gradually occupy the mid-end market, and then occupy the low-end market. It may take years, more than a decade, or even decades, but in this way, it is actually the safest way to cannibalize the market step by step. Even if Wang Jiaming knew that his official salt business was occupied, he had no choice but to passively accept it. ”

Although he was surprised by such strange words as the mid-end market and the low-end market, Emperor Qianwu could also guess the general meaning.

"He is worthy of being a good emperor of mine, and he is really smart!" Emperor Qianwu was very happy, stretched out two hands towards Li Changfeng, and raised two middle fingers straight, expressing high praise!

Gao Dali also hurriedly raised his middle finger: "His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is indeed extremely smart!" ”

Li Changfeng: "......"

How do you feel like you're shooting yourself in the foot?

"Very well, I'll leave this matter to you."

Emperor Qianwu felt that he had gained a lot from talking to Li Changfeng today, so he naturally asked Li Changfeng to deal with this matter directly.

"It's no problem to let Erchen do it, but as Erchen said before, brothers must also settle accounts, and we kings and fathers do the same in business." Li Changfeng naturally wouldn't help Emperor Qianwu for no reason, there is no reason why Emperor Qianwu didn't do anything at all, he did it all by himself from beginning to end, and he had to divide the accounts.

So the aspect of profit sharing was directly raised.

"As it should be." Emperor Qianwu looked at him, "Since you are doing business with me, I will not take advantage of you, so let's divide it into twenty-eight." ”

"Your second son, your eighth! Father, it is rare to find such a sincere partner as you, but the ministers there are disrespectful! Li Changfeng didn't expect that Emperor Qianwu would only need twenty percent of the profit, which was greatly unexpected to him, and he thought that the lion would open his mouth.

Emperor Qianwu sneered and said, "What do you think? It's you. ”

Li Changfeng stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Father, what are you kidding? The refined salt is made by Erchen, and the shop asks Erchen to find it and let Erchen sell it. Everything is done by the ministers, you don't have any strength at all, and you still want to take the big head? ”

He laughed angrily.

If he doesn't do anything and wants a big head, Li Changfeng would rather flip the table directly.

Emperor Qianwu's eyes widened: "Without my permission, can you drive on?" ”

If the emperor makes a stumbling block, this business really can't be done, but Li Changfeng is not afraid, and sneered: "It's a big deal, just don't do it, anyway, in addition to refined salt, Erchen still has a lot of business to do, and even as long as Erchen is willing, he can directly find the Wang family to cooperate in the refined salt business, you see if the Wang family agrees." ”

Emperor Qianwu was furious: "You dare! ”

Gao Dali was shocked to see it, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes was really bold enough to dare to threaten His Majesty.

There are really few people in the world who dare to do this.

The last one dared to do this, and the grave grass was taller than a person.

Li Changfeng was not afraid at all, looked at Emperor Qianwu, and sneered: "You can see if your sons dare or not." ”

The king's father and son looked at each other for a long time, and Emperor Qianwu saw that this bastard boy was not afraid at all, so he had to soften his tone after half a sound: "Five-five, at most it can only be five or five points, at least not at all." If you want to run this refined salt business, you have to protect you, otherwise even if it is only a high-end market, the Wang family will definitely not be able to see it, and it will target you. If you don't want to, then don't do it. ”

Li Changfeng smiled: "Deal!" ”

In this business, it seems that everything is made by him, but he has lost a lot, but in fact it is not.

As long as Emperor Qianwu has a shareholding, then he will be able to do business in the name of Emperor Qianwu in the future, and he will not be hindered by anyone, unless they are impatient.

Even if the family wants to make a move, they have to weigh a few points.

In the final analysis, this great cadre is still the world of Emperor Qianwu.

The two discussed some details again, and Li Changfeng said goodbye and left.

When he was gone, a smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Qianwu's mouth, and then the arc gradually increased, and finally he laughed.

"Haha......"

At this time, his mood was more cheerful than ever.

Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, his majesty has gradually increased, and everyone is afraid to see him, and he is cautious in what he says and does.

Even his princes are like this, for fear of saying the wrong thing and doing the wrong thing in front of him, there is no feeling between father and son at all.

But Li Changfeng was the opposite, he didn't look like he was the emperor, and dared to get angry with him and argue with him.

Li Changfeng didn't know his identity before, but now he knows that it is still the same, which makes him experience the long-lost father-son relationship.

This made Emperor Qianwu extremely happy.

Gao Dali looked at Emperor Qianwu, who was laughing, and he also sighed with emotion in his heart.

It's been a long time since I've seen His Majesty so happy.

After following Emperor Qianwu for so many years, he has never seen Emperor Qianwu and spoiled any prince so much.

As long as the Nine Emperors don't make mistakes in the future, the future is bright.

While Emperor Qianwu laughed heartily, he was still thinking about finding an errand for Li Changfeng, and didn't want him to waste his talent by doing nothing all day.

After thinking about it, I felt that Li Changfeng's scientific research institute could make such magical things as artillery, musket recorders, cameras, etc., and it was obvious that the Ministry of Engineering was the most suitable place for him.

I have to find a chance for him to work in the Ministry of Industry!

On the other side, Li Changfeng walked out of the imperial garden, but saw Li Jianye stretching his neck out of the door and looking inside.

Seeing Li Changfeng come out, Li Jianye hurriedly trotted over and said with a concerned face: "Brother Nine Emperors, didn't your father treat you well, right?" ”

Li Changfeng didn't want to pay attention to Li Jianye, after all, he had been hiding his identity from Emperor Qianwu and didn't tell him.

But thinking of Li Jianye's reminder in the morning today, and the fact that he really cared about him before finding a mat for him, he didn't care.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Changfeng patted Li Jianye on the shoulder and said, "I think you should know something about the current situation in the court, tell the imperial brother." ”

He knew that it would be impossible for him to return to White Rock City for a while, and he estimated that he would have to stay in the capital for a long time.

In this way, we have to understand the situation in the court, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

Li Jianye nodded and said: "It's easy to say, the ministers of the DPRK and China are mainly divided into four factions, which are the support of the eldest emperor brother, the second emperor brother and the sixth emperor brother, and the neutral faction that maintains neutrality. The three imperial brothers are the strongest contenders for the crown prince today, and there are not a few ministers who support them. ”

Subsequently, he talked in detail about the main supporters of the three princes in the court.

Let Li Changfeng gain a lot.

Speaking of this, Li Jianye paused for a moment and reminded: "Brother Nine Emperors, you don't have any foundation in the imperial court, pay more attention to the eldest prince, the second prince and the sixth prince on weekdays, and you must not be easily provoked." But today you can openly beat up the Six Emperor Brothers, I'm afraid that the Six Emperor Brothers will not let you go easily. ”

"I'll pay attention to this." Li Changfeng nodded, but he didn't care much in his heart, because he was different now, and he was covered by the cheap emperor's father.

And in the final analysis, he doesn't want to compete for the throne, in the end, he is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, not at all.

At this time, Li Changfeng suddenly said: "Jianye, the imperial brother has not returned to the capital for many years, and he has been thinking about the eight major alleys in the capital. ”

The eight alleys of the capital are the most famous fireworks places in the entire Daqian Dynasty, as the name suggests, the eight alleys are full of green buildings, and there are too many girls in them to count.

What is the quality of the girls, Li Changfeng is not clear, but the quantity and scale are enough to beat the small places of Shankara such as Baishi City and Huangfuna.

Now that he has come to the capital, Li Changfeng naturally wants to see it.

After all, the predecessor may have visited the Eight Hutongs, but Li Changfeng, who had passed through the soul, had not visited.

As a normal man, how can he not visit the famous Bada Hutong?

Hearing his words, Li Jianye couldn't help but shrink his neck, and after looking left and right and seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he said with some worry: "What if my father finds out?" ”

Li Changfeng said in a big way: "What are you afraid of? If you find out, you will say that I took you there, and put the responsibility on me! ”

Li Jianye's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, then it's decided!" ”

Immediately, the two of them left the palace, changed into regular clothes and dressed up, and walked towards Bada Hutong.

Although it is daytime, the Bada Hutong is still very lively, and the girls of the major green buildings are either standing at the gate or standing by the windows on the second floor, all dressed up in fancy clothes, soliciting customers.

"Hey, two handsome boys, come to play with us, and make sure to kill the immortals you are serving!"

"Two distinguished guests, there is a new Qingqi person in our store, who is proficient in playing and singing, why not come in and experience it?"

"Don't listen to those bells and whistles, come to our store, the girls in our store are doing a good job!"

Li Changfeng and Li Jianye looked left and right, both a little disappointed, although the number was amazing, but compared to the girls in the heavens and earths of Baishi City, it was really much worse.

However, thinking that they could stand at the door to solicit customers, it was impossible to be stunning, and the two of them were not too disappointed, and walked directly towards the Rouge Fang.

Rouge Fang is the most high-end hook bar in the eight major alleys, and it is also the most famous in the whole capital, it is said that there are countless stunning colors inside, and each has a unique skill, so that the romantic gentlemen of the capital linger.

After all, both of them are princes, well-dressed, exuding a sense of nobility, and as soon as they entered the rouge shop, a middle-aged woman dressed in flowers greeted them.

"Hey, I'll just say that I heard a magpie clucking on a branch early this morning, and it turned out that a distinguished guest had arrived!"

Li Jianye has been to this kind of place once in Baishi City, and he can't let go of it a little, but Li Changfeng said generously: "Go to a good private room and call all the girls over." ”

As soon as the old bustard saw that Li Changfeng spoke calmly and without being nervous at all, he knew that he was a regular customer, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he hurriedly led the way in front: "Two distinguished guests come with me!" ”

At the same time, he shouted inside: "Girls, hurry up and pick up customers!" ”

In an instant, the warbler Yanyan smiled and came out.

By the time Li Changfeng and Li Jianye sat down in the box on the second floor, the girls were already standing in a row, scratching their heads and throwing flattering glances at the two.

Li Changfeng glanced at it, and saw that it was a lot worse than the girls in Baishi City, so he couldn't help frowning and waved his hand: "Change a batch!" ”

The old bustard was stunned, this way of speaking is really novel, in the past, as soon as the girls came out, even if the guests who came were not satisfied, they would still leave one or two, and they had never seen anyone directly say that they would change a batch.

Li Jianye next to him was full of admiration, and secretly said that the Nine Emperor Brothers are really skilled, how fascinating the sentence "change a batch" is, he may not dare to change it, so he can only go ahead.

"Oh, the customer's vision is quite high!"

With a smile, the bustard waved his hand, and the girls left with disappointed faces, and another group of girls walked in with expectations on their faces.

Li Changfeng glanced at it and waved his hand: "Change a batch!" ”

Now the old bustard was stunned.

She had never met such a fussy guest.

The girls were also a little confused, they were in the Bada Hutong, they were considered to be middle-class and upper-class, there were so many people, Li Changfeng couldn't even pick out one.

The old bustard had no choice but to change another batch.

The result is still the same, not a single one catches the eye.

This made Li Changfeng quite disappointed, this rouge shop can actually become the face of the Eight Great Hutongs, which is a bit unworthy of the name, but it is much worse than heaven and earth!

He used to regard this place as the same existence as Guancheng back then, but now it seems really ridiculous.

Li Changfeng looked at Li Jianye and asked with a smile, "Is there anything that catches your eye?" ”

Li Jianye shook his head without hesitation: "No!" ”

What did he see in heaven and on earth?

It was a girl in high heels and a mysterious bikini, revealing everything that should not be exposed, a pole dancing girl.

There are even interracial girls!

His horizons have been raised, and he can't look down on these conservatively dressed girls without any characteristics.

Li Changfeng had no choice but to wave his hand and let the old bustard leave with the girls first, and suddenly said: "Brother Huang, how do I run a world in the world, I think you also know that the green buildings in these eight alleys are not very good, or if you open a branch in these eight alleys, you will definitely be able to do a good business." ”

Li Jianye's face turned pale, and he shook his head again and again: "Are you crazy?" If the father ...... Father knows, won't you smoke me to death? ”

Li Changfeng was secretly thinking to himself in his heart, if he could move the entertainment club of the earth's modern society to this era, it would definitely be very popular.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in the hall downstairs.

"Twilight Girl is here!"

"It's finally time for Twilight Girl's performance!"

"I heard that Miss Twilight is not only good at playing the piano, but also quite talented, very good at poetry!"

All the private rooms on the second floor have a large window facing inside, so that guests can clearly see everything in the lobby on the first floor.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Li Changfeng stepped forward to check, and asked curiously as he walked, "Is this one called Dusk Yan famous?" ”

Li Changfeng nodded and said: "Don't hide it from the Nine Emperor Brothers, the Dusk Smoke girl is the Oiran of the Rouge Fang, the first in the Eight Great Hutongs, not only proficient in music and rhythm, but also extremely good at poetry and songs." ”

"It turned out to be a talented woman."

"It's a pity that Miss Twilight doesn't sell her art." Li Jianye added, and there was some regret in his little eyes.

It's not easy to divide, just forget about the two-in-one. In the future, the update will mainly be based on the evening together, and the readers will read it after 10 or 11 o'clock in the evening, so that you don't have to wait, hahaha!
