When Li Changkong mentioned the mahogany business, everyone knew it, but Liu Yu was at a loss and said in surprise: "What mahogany?" ”

"It's the last time Brother Li sold mahogany and made a lot of silver. We lent him money at the rate of ninety and thirteen returns, which was a small profit. Zhang Han opened his mouth to explain.

"A lot of silver? How much exactly? ”

"It is estimated that there should be four or five hundred thousand taels." When Wang Hua from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce came to the door, Zhu Ben was also there, so Li Changkong probably had a number of how much silver he bought.

"How much! Four... Four and a half million taels! Liu Yuluo stood up with a snort, unable to believe what he heard.

"It's... That's too much. "He deserves to be a prince, he is really aggrieved!

All the expenses of the East Palace are paid by the state treasury.

As for the specific amount of silver that can be withdrawn, it depends on the meaning of Emperor Jing Xing.

Emperor Jing Xing has always been thrifty, so the scheduling at the disposal of the East Palace can be seen.

To be honest, although he Liu Yu is the prince, he has lived more than ten years of poverty.

Four and a half million taels... I can't even think about it!

This... Lao Li not only has the ability to compose poetry, but also has the ability to do business without admitting it!

Liu Yu didn't have the kind of Shinong businessman, he only felt that the people who could help him fight the war were all talents.

But in this war, whether it is military salaries, grain and grass, it is all money!

So those who will make money are all talents, such as... Merchant.

Another example, Lao Li!

"Ahem, then Lao Li, you are mentioning this matter again, do you have any good way to make money?" Liu Yu rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining.

Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded, and said, "That's right! This time it's a big deal, a real big deal. ”

"Let's stop doing business with the people, do it with the imperial court, and do it with the military department!"

When everyone heard this, their bodies were shocked and shocked.

If it was someone else who said this, they would naturally be dismissive.

But it was Li Changkong who said this!

They are all clear about Lao Li's ability, and there is a precedent for the mahogany business to earn four or five hundred thousand taels!

So, it's eighty percent true.

And doing business with the imperial court and the military department, this nature is different.

To put it nicely, that's to share the worries of the court!

If I really do this, my father won't be impressed with me?

After Liu Yu finished thinking about it, his gaze at Li Changkong became even more excited.

"Lao Li, tell me in detail about this business, what is the practice."

Li Changkong saw that everyone was looking at him blankly, but he was not in a hurry to answer, but answered the question: "Have you all gone to the sea?" ”

"To the sea? Never. Hearing this, Liu Yu shook his head.

Although he is stubborn, he is the prince after all, and he has to hand over the fold when he leaves the palace on weekdays.

So from childhood to adulthood, there are only a limited number of places to go, let alone go to the sea, I'm afraid I haven't even seen the sea.

When Zhang Han and Jia Taisui heard this, they also shook their heads.

One of them is still literate, the other is martial arts, and they either read or practice martial arts on weekdays, but they don't have so much time to go out to see the sea.

Only Zhu Ben, seeing that everyone shook their heads, became interested and said, "I've seen it!" ”

"The sea is endless and magnificent."

"No matter how great a man is, in front of the real sea, he will feel small."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Changkong expectantly, as if waiting for praise.

However, Li Changkong just glanced at him speechlessly and said, "This method of making money has nothing to do with whether the sea is magnificent or not. ”

When Zhu Ben heard this, he immediately froze in place, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

His long-planned manifestation before the people failed.

"The reason why I mention going to sea is because I have found that anyone who has been to the sea will get diseases."

"In addition, when the food reaches the sea, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will rot and stink."

"But even so, those who go to sea have to eat."

"In this way, if you go to sea, I'm afraid that you will go for half a life."

"So... If we can make a food that will not go bad and can prevent diseases, and bring Shanghai to the big guys, then... Is this kind of food still sold? ”

"Don't say it's the people of Linhai, I'm afraid that the navy of the imperial court will rush to buy it!"

"That's why I said, this is a business with the imperial court, a business with the military department, this is a real big business!"

When Liu Yu heard this, he swallowed his saliva, and then heard the sound of the rest of the people swallowing saliva.

Good guy, if what Lao Li said is true, then this silver is still earned casually?

After all, if you don't buy their food, going to sea is tantamount to death!

"Then, I wonder if Brother Li can make such food?" There was also Zhang Han among the crowd, who was quite sober and asked a key question.

Hearing this, Li Changkong nodded affirmatively: "I can tell you very clearly that I have a secret recipe for this food, but... You have to have manpower, a lot of manpower, and you have to open a workshop, and you have to hire a chef! ”

Speaking of this, Li Changkong glanced at Liu Yu and said in an accentuated tone: "It's best to be an imperial chef!" ”

Imperial Kitchen...

When Liu Yu heard this, his eyes rolled slightly.

Every imperial kitchen is counted, and those registered in the palace are registered, and one less is afraid that it will be too conspicuous and will soon be discovered.

It's not easy to do.

"Lao Li, then you are looking for us, or do you want to borrow money?" Zhu Ben asked another question that everyone was most concerned about.

When Li Changkong heard this, he shook his head and said, "Silver, to be honest, what I have is, although four or five hundred thousand taels may not be enough, it will definitely be able to withstand it in the early stage." ”

"I'm not looking for you to borrow money, but... I want you to join in the shares. ”

"After all, this business is too big, and it even involves the imperial court and the military department, and my family in the Marquis of Wuling's mansion is afraid that I won't be able to eat it."

"There are such good things as being able to buy shares!" Zhu Ben immediately became excited: "Then how is this one calculated?" ”

"So, because only I know the secret recipe for this food, I'll take an extra share."

"The rest of the ninety percent, according to the amount of silver, I will pay 400,000 taels!"

"What do you think?"

As soon as Li Changkong's words came out, everyone immediately stopped talking.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with this distribution.

Everyone knows that the most important thing must be the secret recipe of food, which only accounts for one percent, and Lao Li is already kind.

The remaining ninety percent of the shares are calculated in silver, which is understandable.

The bad thing is that this bastard has too much silver!

It's a full 400,000 taels, which is the silver earned by Mahogany last time.

If they contribute tens of thousands of taels of shares, what else can they occupy?

I'm afraid it's not enough.

Although you can share a lot of money if you don't get a percent, but... To tell the truth, such a big business, only less than a percent of the silver, a little bit, not satisfied!

Gotta find a way to get some money!

At this moment, everyone has their own ghosts, but their thoughts are highly unified: make money!
