Li Xukong sat opposite Ning Yue's banquet, and when he heard Ning Yue's assertion of refusal, there was no change in his expression, as if he had long expected Ning Yue to have such an answer.

He still raised his wine glass at Ning Yue, drank it in one gulp, and continued: "If this doesn't work, then why don't you set the tax on this commercial property a little higher?"

Ning Yue immediately showed a wry smile, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and replied to Li Xukong: "Why is it difficult for Lord Zhou Mu to embarrass these hardships in our army, it is not easy for us to cultivate the land, and the grain grown in a year of hard work cannot be sold in the end, so there are veterans who donate the secret recipe at home to make these finely processed foods." ”

Li Xukong opened his mouth to say something, but Ning Yue immediately rushed to the front and said: "My lord, the cost of this grain processing product is extremely high, many projects are simply unable to make ends meet, and there are even some losses, if it is not for the grain to be sold, we will not bother to put our minds on these food processing." ”

Li Xukong saw Ning Yue's rogue crying posture, and many words in his mouth were suppressed back, he just purely inquired about Ning Yue's wishes, and now it seems that Ning Yue's intentions to contaminate the food processing workshop were sealed in a few words.

Ning Yue looked at Li Xukong and was a little speechless, his heart moved, and he immediately pointed to the Ning-style sausage on the table, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else, let's just say that this Ning-style sausage, first process some grain well, add meat filling, but just talk about casing and meat filling, the amount is several times that of refined grain, and the price is also several times higher, so adults just look at this sausage, and they know how much other cost we need to add in order to process the grain produced by crops, so it is really beyond our means......"

Ning Yue actually didn't understand the processing process and practical materials of this sausage at all, but he complained to Li Xukong like this, exaggerating the cost of food, and he was also sure that Li Xukong didn't understand the huge profits of processing these modern foods at all.

Li Xukong was slightly stunned as Ning Yue expected, Ning Yue said it was rough, but looking at those Ning-style sausages, it seemed that it really needed complicated processes to make, otherwise how could the food produced be so delicious.

"But ......" Li Xukong looked at the other food, trying to continue to say something.

Ning Yue immediately pointed to the plate of golden fries on the table, and said: "My lord, please see, this plate of fries looks very simple, but before and after frying, there must be a qualified process to make it, the fries cannot be too big or too small, and the sauce served at the most critical time, the value of this tomato sauce alone is too much more than the fries, which is also a helpless way to sell the fries." ”

Ning Yue said as he looked at Li Xukong's reaction across the table, and when he saw Li Xukong's gaze, he glanced at Ning-style sausages and fries a few times with some amazement, and couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart.

Among the four major groups, Luo Yaoji is solely responsible for the total cost of all the food produced, and the assembly line working method has been formed in the workshop, and the cost confidentiality plan of all the food is very good, so Ning Yue not only knows about it at all.

Li Xukong sat quietly, his heart was inexplicably helpless, he saw that Ning Yue was muddying the true cost of several foods, but he had no choice but to give up.

There were only two people at the luncheon, Ning Yue and Li Xukong, who looked a little embarrassed for a while.

Ning Yue lowered his head slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, this time Li Void brought him in, and took the opportunity to visit the cost of food processing, which made him instinctively wary, knowing that it was the four major groups under his command that were too prosperous, which attracted Li Void's attention.

Ning Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The more this is the case, the more we can't let Li Xukong focus on food processing, and he must divert his attention......"

Ning Yue had a lot of thoughts in his mind, flashed countless business projects discussed with his henchmen, and finally selected one of them, thought about it, broke the silence at the banquet, and said to Li Xukong: "Speaking of taxes, after my recent success in Tuntian, I thought of a project that might increase taxes, I don't know if Lord Zhou Mu is interested?"

When Li Xukong heard this, his contemplative expression eased slightly, and knowing that Ning Yue extended an olive branch to him at this time, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Manager Bai can run several food groups under his command so smoothly, and if you want to mention the project with me, it will definitely make the people of Qianzhou happy again, right?"

Ning Yue heard the vague dissatisfaction between Li Xukong's words, but there was still a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he hadn't heard the sourness in Li Xukong's words, he just smiled and took out a delicate wooden box from his arms.

Li Xukong saw the wooden box in Ning Yue's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he instinctively thought of the last time Ning Yue offered a plan in Chengchuan City, he used such a box to contain information, and finally he implemented it according to these materials, and only then did he achieve the prosperity of Qianzhou.

Thinking of this, Li Xukong asked Ning Yue a little impatiently, "I don't know what the wooden box is this time?"

When Ning Yue heard Li Void's inquiry this time, his tone softened significantly, and he smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that he had successfully diverted Li Void's attention.

Ning Yue immediately put away his slightly squinted eyes, and when he raised his eyes to look at Li Xukong, he slid the wooden box in his hand off the table, and when he saw Li Xukong raise his hand to catch it, he said earnestly: "Don't hide it, my lord, most of the Qianzhou garrisons under my command are from the clouded leopard horse, so when we were equipping the clouded leopard with the bronze horse mounts, we also carefully studied some of the demon beast mounts of other guards in China. ”

Li Xukong slowly opened the box, nodded while listening to Ning Yue's narration, and looked at the information prepared by Ning Yue, and saw that the demon beasts used in the Xia Kingdom were summarized by category.

He didn't understand what Ning Yue was going to do when he mentioned these demon beasts, so he postponed looking at the information in his hand, raised his head and continued to listen to what Ning Yue would say.

Ning Yue confidently raised his right index finger and only said one word to Li Xukong: "Meat!"

Li Xukong's expression moved slightly, he didn't interrupt Ning Yue, and let Ning Yue continue: "My lord knows, Great Xia has been capturing all kinds of demon beasts, most of them are used as elite cavalry to form a cavalry brigade, and the rest, whether it is a national ceremony or a sacrifice, will select some rare demon beasts to appear, just these demon beasts make the Great Xia army very busy, and every year they have to wantonly catch demon beasts to replenish...... And then there's breeding!"

Hearing the word breeding, the doubts in Li Xukong's eyes disappeared a lot, and he couldn't help but flip through the information in his hand a few times, and continued to listen to Ning Yue.

He didn't notice at all at this time that his mind had already begun to be led by Ning Yue, and he had temporarily forgotten about the large taxes on food processing.
