Chapter 449: Li Shen's Purpose
Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Li Shen when he heard Li Shen's words, although salt and iron were not controlled by the imperial court, there were indeed strict regulations on the issuance of licenses.
Although in terms of qualifications, his son is fully capable and capable of obtaining the license of salt and iron, but his son is not a stable lord.
If he enters the salt and iron industry, it is not certain how to toss, and it is very likely that something will happen at that time.
After thinking about it, Li Shimin asked:
"Why do you want to be in the salt and iron business?"
"Because it's money!" Li Shen's answer was very crisp and practical.
He's just here to make money, to make more money.
"You don't want to toss around salt and iron again." Li Shimin won't believe his son's words.
His son has always had far-reaching plans to do things.
Suddenly, Li Shimin had a terrible thought, this could not be his real purpose.
What Xingyao white porcelain, what gold price reduction, are all disguises, and the ultimate goal of his son is to get the right to operate salt and iron.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:
"Old ten, you didn't want to get the right to operate salt and iron from the beginning, right? 、”
"No, absolutely not, Aye, isn't this what Aya said to her? My son also had a whim, thinking that salt and iron must be very profitable.
Aye, in fact, no matter what industry it is, as long as our Li family is the biggest, we can ensure that the people are not deceived.
Salt, iron, and grain, which are things for people's livelihood, as long as we don't increase the price, others can't raise the price if they want to.
We can control the movement of market prices and curb the development of those families and aristocrats. ”
After Li Shen finished speaking, his eyes lit up and he looked at Li Shimin eagerly.
He needs the right to operate salt and iron, which is a handle to control the family.
If there is a conflict in the future, Li Shen can use salt and iron to attack the foundation of the family, and if they are honest, then Li Shen will develop steadily.
Capitalism, a large landowner, can influence policy, let alone the salt and iron of the family. If they join forces to play, it will be very troublesome.
The family's salt-making technology and iron-making technology will not be shared with the imperial court.
Li Shimin also agreed with Li Shen's words,
"Wang De, write King Ji's words in a while and send them to the East Palace, so that Gao Ming can read them well, and I will test him later."
Li Shen's idea is very useful in his opinion, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, all dynasties have never thought of this method,
Either like the Tang Dynasty, it was handed over to individuals, or the imperial court monopolized it, and there was never the idea of co-operation.
Li Shen is right, as long as the imperial court is the largest dealer, others will not be able to turn over the storm, at most the imperial court will buy small households and sell them to the people at a low price.
In terms of comprehensive costs, it will not lose money.
And Li Shen, as the prince, and the richest prince, will definitely make salt and iron the biggest businessman, and then Li Shen can control the price on behalf of the imperial court.
As long as his son doesn't toss around, then he can not only benefit the people, but also suppress the development momentum of the nobles of the family, killing two birds with one stone.
"Okay, then I will give you this right to operate, but there is one thing, I want a fifty percent share, have the right to supervise, and if the court needs it, you have to sell it to the court first." Li Shimin made a decision after thinking about it.
It's just that Li Shen stopped doing it, shook his head and said:
"Aye, I am applying for a license through a formal channel, why should I divide fifty percent? The nobles of other families have no share, do you see that your uncle's family has a share? ”
As soon as Li Shen's words were said, Empress Eldest Sun looked over,
"Why, just because I am you Aye!" Li Shimin said confidently.
"Uh......" Li Shen said, there is no way to talk, and you can't say that I am still your father.
Or what's wrong with Ayah, who can't be killed?
But Li Shen was not reconciled, so he continued.
"Aya, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, there is no father and son on the battlefield, I still have a large family to support in the Ji Wangfu, and I also want to save some inheritance for Aya's grandchildren.
If that's the case, it's better to find my uncle to cooperate, he has a license and I have technology, and he can do it if I give him two percent. ”
Li Shen's initial plan was indeed to find the eldest grandson Wuji, but later Li Shen felt that it was more secure to have the technology in his own hands.
Empress Eldest Sun was also quite moved when she heard Li Shen's words, her cheap son has a lot of ability.
Li Shen is known as the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and has a way to make money.
The eldest grandson's family will definitely go to the next level.
This can be seen from Changle's annual wine dividends.
Nine years ago, Li Lizhen, the princess of Changle, only exchanged a mere 500 yuan in exchange for a 10% dividend, and the dividends have exceeded 500,000 yuan in the past nine years.
This has been rumored to be the most classic investment case in Chang'an City.
I don't know how many people are jealous of the shares in Changle's hands.
"Bastard, you'd rather cooperate with outsiders than with your own Aye, eating inside and out."
Li Shimin immediately became a little angry when he heard it.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and a gaze looked at her, and Li Shimin secretly screamed in his heart.
Sure enough, there was a resentful voice from the eldest grandson queen next to it:
"Erlang, it turns out that after so many years, you still treat your concubine as an outsider." After saying that, the aggrieved almost shed some tears.
Li Shimin glared at Li Shen and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Guanyin, I didn't mean that, it's all this rebel who confused me. You are my virtuous helper, how can you say that you are an outsider, and the auxiliary machine is also a brother to me. ”
Li Shen looked at Li Shimin's humble appearance, his face full of contempt.
"Cut~~~~ You can be as powerful as me," Li Shen thought to himself.
After a long time, Sun Cai was not angry, and Li Shimin said impatiently to Li Shen, the culprit:
"Then what do you say, I can't give you this right to operate for nothing, you must know that if this matter is brought to the court,
Do you know how many people are against it? What kind of popularity are you in the court, and you don't know it in your heart? ”
Li Shen was said to be a little sad, it is true that his popularity in the court is too stinky, except for a few people such as the prime minister, no one has a good impression of him, including the father of his subordinates.
Li Shen himself also wondered why he had been messed up all these years, and he hadn't handed over anyone.
"Aye, I will pay for the technology and management, and I will give Aya two percent of the dividends, but I will not accept the supervision of the imperial court, otherwise the imperial court will come to point fingers who don't understand anything, and I am afraid that I can't help but beat him to death.
However, if the court is in need, the child can give priority to the court, which Aya can rest assured, I am still a prince. ”
In the end, Li Shen put forward his own plan.
"Twenty percent? No, two percent is too little, do you know how much pressure I have to withstand for you in the court, the family and the princes and nobles, none of them will want you to touch the salt and iron business. ”
