Shen Xin's face was miserable, and he said bitterly: "From the beginning, this is a game, right?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Qing was surprised.

Shen Xin sneered: "Adults are extremely smart, but don't treat others as fools." ”

He felt that a catastrophe was coming, and even his life was short, so he naturally had no scruples, "Isn't this clear, let me work hard in the front, and the court will harvest the fruit in the back?"

Now that the supply of the whole industry complements each other, and the operation is stable, the imperial court only needs to take over the whole situation, and it can operate immediately, and completely bypass the official gentry, hehe...... What a calculation! ”

He laughed miserably, "After all, I'm just a pawn, and now I'm used up and can be discarded at any time." ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then quipped: "If you want the emperor to hear this, he will definitely do it." ”

Shen Xin asked rhetorically: "Isn't the emperor going to do this?" ”

"Of course not." Li Qingzheng said, "The imperial court is also cultivating its own supply channels, and to tell you the truth, the imperial court has implemented the national policy of planting mulberry and raising silkworms on a large scale in eastern Liaodong in order to achieve self-sufficiency." ”

After a pause, "However, the emperor does have the intention of buying goods at a low price and then going to sea to trade." ”

The flame of hope that Shen Xin had just ignited was shattered again, and he said angrily: "My lord, doesn't what you said mean you didn't say it?" ”

"I'll help you." Li Qingdao.

"Can you help me?" Shen Xin sneered, "Can you influence the emperor?" ”

"I'm sure, and I'm sure." Li Qing promised, "You don't have to worry, my purpose in supporting you is not to harvest you." ”

Shen Xin is like a drowning man, he grabbed the last straw, although he knew that there was little hope, he could only hope for it.

His tone softened and reverted to his initial respect: "Please give me advice." ”

"You calculate it well, what is the profit in the case of five or five open." Li Qingdao said, "I will use this as a standard and let the emperor buy your goods at a standard that exceeds the market price;

Of course, if the official gives you a chance, you have to use it, if the lion opens his mouth widely, or plays some compromise tricks, then the official can't help it. ”

Li Qing said: "You calculate it as soon as possible, I will write to the emperor to explain the benefits and disadvantages, and he will most likely agree." ”

After a pause, he said: "If you lose the east wall, you will gain the mulberry elm; That's not a bad thing for you. ”

"Isn't that a bad thing?"

"Not really." Li Qing smiled and said: "Do you think, even you can't survive, can those rich gentry in Suzhou and Hangzhou survive?" ”

Shen Xin was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, if he looked at it this way, it would be really a good thing for him.

At that time, there will be no price war at all, and he will be able to dominate without much effort.

Now it doesn't matter if you make money or not, as long as you live and live, you win, but ......

Shen Xin hesitated: "Even if I can buy those industries as the adults said, but the imperial court monopolizes seventy percent, and with only thirty percent of the profits, it is difficult for me to afford such a big industry!"

Unless the imperial court can release the quota to me. ”

"It's impossible." Li Qing shook his head, "There are more people with energy and background than you, why are you special?" ”

"Then this ......," Shen Xin said distressedly, "In this case, I can't afford to buy those industries, the industry is too big, and the existing profits can't afford to pay for it, so it's all my own guilt." ”

"Not really." Li Qing smiled, "We can continue this model forever. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Simple, you still use 30% of the quota of goods for export, and the excess goods are purchased by the imperial court, and the imperial court will give you a fair price, so that you can earn." Li Qingdao, "In addition, if you think about it, Jinling, plus Suzhou and Hangzhou, and even the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang's three-percent share, how big is the profit in this?" ”

Shen Xin was stunned, the top commercial CPU was running at high speed, and after a while, he was ecstatic.

All kinds of conditions add up, there is really a profit, and there is a lot of money.

Although it is far from being compared with the previous situation, it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to do so.

His psychological expectations are low enough that they can be easily satisfied, and besides, the profit is not small.

"My lord, is the emperor really willing to listen to your advice?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." Li Qing smiled, "I said, from the beginning, I didn't have the purpose of harvesting you. ”

Shen Xin got up and took off his robe to make a big salute, buckled his head and said: "The grace of the adults, the grass people remember it in their hearts, and it is unforgettable." ”

"Huh...... Boss Shen, please get up. Li Qing helped him up, "Calculate the price well, there's nothing to be anxious about." ”

"Hey." Shen Xin seemed to have come to heaven from hell, his whole person was surrounded by a huge sense of happiness, and his psychology was also inexplicably moved, "Adult, grass people...... Alas, don't say anything, let's have a light meal at noon? ”

Li Qing knew that he wanted to bribe himself, but he didn't want this kind of money.

"Forget it, time waits for no one, you hurry up and calculate the specific number, I can arrange it as soon as possible." Li Qing said, "Remember, don't get tired of it, otherwise, no one will be able to save you." ”

Shen Xin nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, adults, villains won't throw watermelons for sesame seeds." ”

"Well, hurry up." Li Qing patted him on the shoulder and turned around to leave, when Shen Xin suddenly shouted, "My lord." ”

"Huh?"

"You are the most virtuous and disciplined official I have ever met." Shen Xin said sincerely.

Li Qing's face was hot, and he said in his heart: "I guess that's what you think, my lord's reputation in officialdom...... Don't mention it. ”

…

Three days later.

Shen Xin gave a selling price.

Li Qing did some calculations and found that there was not much difference, so he took up the pen and wrote a letter, and gave up halfway through the writing, such a big thing, relying on a letter alone may not work, he decided to make a trip.

"Godfather, you've only been here for a few days, and you're leaving again?" The little guy is very reluctant.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Godfather will come back, at most a month, and bring you gifts when the time comes." ”

"Really?"

"Retractor." Li Qing stretched out his hand, pulled a hook with the little guy, and said to Zhu Yunwen, "There are some things that I have to run by myself and come back in a month." ”

"Official business matters." Zhu Yunwen smiled and said distressedly, "Senior brother, I've really suffered you all these years." ”

Li Qing scratched his head, "Actually, it's not as hard as you think, I'm doing well in Jingshi." ”

Zhang Sloppy, who was on the recliner on the side, interjected: "Your senior brother is not the master who suffers anywhere, you can't worry about him, he will enjoy it." ”

Li Qing smiled and nodded: "Master, is the disciple leaving?" ”

"Go, go, go."

……

Li Qing is really idle when he is free, and when he is busy, he is also in a hurry, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Ten days later, Jingshi.

Li Qing briefly explained the matter and attached a list.

Zhu Qizhen only glanced at it, and then shook his head: "What are you doing?" Big money? ”

"It's just you, sir, if you change someone, I suspect that he has accepted Shen Xin's benefits." Zhu Qizhen said in a sullen voice, "This matter is absolutely impossible. ”

He still has a loan that he hasn't repaid, why is he so scattered?

"Your Majesty, let's talk calmly, okay?" Li Qingdao said, "I came all the way back, is it for a rich businessman?" ”

Zhu Qizhen calmed down and nodded sullenly: "Come to someone for tea, sir, sit down." ”

Li Qing smiled.

The two monarchs and ministers sat down, and the atmosphere eased a lot.

Li Qing picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and said: "Your Majesty, the private trade industry chain has been formed, and one Shen Xin is nothing, but if Shen Xin is brought down, how many people will lose their jobs?" ”

"You can let them do things for the court!" Zhu Qizhen said.

"Yes, but it breeds corruption." Li Qingdao, "Officials bullying the people is far worse than rich businessmen bullying the people, rich businessmen deceiving the people, whether it is useful or not, the people can at least report to the officials, what about the officials bullying the people?" ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned, but did not refute.

Li Qing said: "In fact, the people generally don't want to deal with the government, they are more in awe of the court than they trust, and the court can't maintain such a big market at all.

And after a large number of officials pour in, what will happen to it, the emperor should know in his heart. ”

After a pause, he continued: "It seems that the court has suffered a loss by doing this, but in fact it is not.

First, it ensures the interests of the people, second, it keeps the prosperity of the industry, and third, it ......," Li Qingzheng said, "I dare to guarantee that the goods produced by Shen Xin's workshop are definitely better than the quality of the imperial court itself, and it is not a little good." ”

"Why?"

"Because he doesn't dare to fool the court, but the officials dare to fool the emperor." Li Qing said seriously, "It is much better to contract to a wealthy merchant than to do it yourself by the imperial court, there is no doubt about this." ”
