"It's all hearsay, how can this kind of thing be taken seriously."

"Sir, let's take a look first, this king goes out for a walk, just let the back kitchen prepare some good meals for you."

Liu Qi said it with a smile, giving people the feeling that he didn't take it seriously at all.

But as soon as he went out and walked in front of Zhao Wenhui, his face suddenly changed.

Just now, Lu Liang told Liu Qi.

Some Korean businessmen heard that it seemed that there was a merchant traveling and doing business with the officials in Jiaozhou.

He asked Lu Liangzhi if he knew about this matter, if it was convenient, the business was right, and they also wanted to participate.

In Daqing, the official family, except for the coastal and Pingcheng, was not allowed to trade with other countries.

Besides, even if there are some unscrupulous officials who want to seek some personal gains, they should be with the nearest Qin State, or other neighboring countries, how can they go all the way to South Korea.

Although Korean businessmen also said it, they have only heard about it.

But Liu Qi didn't think so.

As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, since you can hear about it, then there is a story here.

The reason why he prevaricated Lu Liang was simply because it was his second brother Liu Bi's place.

One is that it is unreasonable to meddle and manage other people's affairs, and it will also make Liu Bi resentful.

Moreover, now he has only heard about it, and if he tells his father, not only will he not be taken seriously, but he is afraid that it will make him feel that he is suspected of framing his brother.

In the impression of the original. Liu Bi, like himself, has not liked to talk much since he was a child, which makes the relationship between the two quite good.

Since Liu Bi was sent to Jiaozhou to be the king, the two have never had any contact.

Anyway, the royal brothers, just him, and the sick fifth brother, have a good relationship with themselves.

Even if there is something, Liu Qi doesn't want to ruin the ease between brothers because of such a thing.

Second brother, I don't know what he has become now.

.......

The next day, early in the morning.

Liu Qi took a group of people to the Korean foundry.

When I opened the curtain, I saw that Ji Kang, Ji Bo, and many of his subordinates had already stopped and waited in front of the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"General Ji, I've kept you waiting."

A few people walked into the foundry while politely approaching, and came to a room where Uncle Ji was pampered on weekdays.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, presumably yesterday, I, the foreman, have already explained the situation of the foundry to you clearly, right? Anything else that needs to be learned? ”

Liu Qi smiled slightly.

"Very clearly, General Ji is attentive."

"Come here today, let's get straight to the point and talk about the handover of this foundry."

"Well, I don't know how long His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use this foundry?"

Liu Qi didn't answer, and stretched out his palm.

"Five months?"

"General Ji, what do you think, is the deal that this king talked about with you so worthless. It's five years! ”

As soon as Liu Qi's voice fell, some people were unhappy.

Ji Bo's face was still red and swollen, and he looked angry, like a pufferfish.

"Liu Qi, although my foundry is not a big business, its annual income is one million taels. Just those little cattle and sheep? Five years, don't even think about it! ”

Liu Qi was not angry, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he lowered his head and played with his fingers.

"General Ji, are you talking to me? Or is it this one? ”

"Uncle Ji, shut up for me!"

Ji Bo's brain, where could he have thought of the political interests for the future of South Korea.

When Ji Kang told him, he felt that Ji Kang had been deceived, and tens of thousands of sheep were just tens of thousands, so he lent him the foundry with an annual income of one million, which was too inappropriate.

Let's just say that it is that land, although it is the living area of the Huns, but there are few poor people there, and there is almost nothing.

Seeing that Ji Kang was annoyed, although he was unwilling, Ji Bo could only shut his mouth stupidly.

"Okay, Your Highness, the old man can make the decision in this matter, and my emperor will definitely agree."

"In this case, let's sign an agreement."

As he spoke, as soon as he said hello, a man with a pen and ink walked out.

It seems that Ji Kang has also been prepared.

But Liu Qi waved his hand at this time.

"General, don't worry, this king hasn't finished talking yet."

"Oh? Your Highness, please speak. ”

"Words, it's better to explain it in advance, what this king wants is not an empty shell foundry, including the equipment here, this king wants it."

Since the foundry has been handed over to him, it is not difficult to transport the equipment, Ji Kang thought about it.

"No problem, this old man can also call the shots."

It's all okay.

Otherwise, Liu Qi continued to speak.

"And. Although this equipment has been left to this king, this king has no one in this regard, so let this foundry, the original workers, and most importantly, the foreman, also leave this king to this king. ”

When Liu Qi spoke, he smiled, looking harmless to humans and animals.

Ji Bo was immediately annoyed.

"Liu Qi, don't go too far, these craftsmen are all my people from Dahan, how can they stay in your Daqing to work, especially the foreman, but I was sent by the royal family, and it is impossible for you to use them!"

"You're just dreaming!"

This time, Ji Kang did not express his position, just because Liu Qi's request was indeed a bit excessive. It's okay to ask for land, it's still been so long, and the equipment is just that, anyway, this thing can't be broken.

But this person is a treasure, let's just say that the foreman is a master-level master, how can he easily give it to Qingguo to use?

Liu Qi was not surprised by their reaction.

"Oh, well, it seems that South Korea thinks my deal is a bit small. It doesn't matter, in fact, this king has long heard that the female empire has coveted that land for a long time, but unfortunately it has never had a chance. ”

"I think they should have this idea, and I heard that the female empire now also has plans to establish commercial properties in Pingcheng, so they can talk about it."

"It's okay, since it doesn't work, then the king will leave."

Liu Qi pretended to be very decent, and stood up directly after speaking.

"Your Highness, please stay."

Ji Kang took a deep breath.

"Okay, the old man promised you, but these people, I will bring them back to Korea in the future, and after five years, you must return them to South Korea!"

Liu Qi stopped and smiled secretly in his heart.

Still? Give it back to the fart, by then, your South Korea will have already become a vassal of my Daqing, what difference is there between it and not.

"General Ji is quick to talk, and this king is very happy."

"However, the king has one more request."

Ji Kang and Ji Bo's faces changed in an instant, this prince will inevitably have to inch in, right?

Ji Bo couldn't help it, and pointed directly at Liu Qi.

"Liu Qi, the land, utensils, and people are all given to you, what more do you want?"

Liu Qi smiled.

"Lord Ji, this year has almost passed, what is this king going to do to start work, it's too late, until the salary before the spring of next year, please give these workers, it's over!"

Ji Bo couldn't hold back any longer.

"Liu Qi, you are a robber!!"
