Carefree Scholar Chapter 619: Business negotiation is completed
Jingdi's expression relaxed, and said, "Let's talk about it, what is the solution?"
"The minister wants to do a business with your majesty."
"Business?" Jingdi glanced at him, and said faintly: "This is the first time anyone has come to me for business."
Li Yixindao, what is the old emperor bragging about, doing business with people for the first time?
Who did the last time that the lovely Yongning tempted him to play against the Qi people?
If it weren't for being afraid of exposing him and leaving his face blank, it might cause the guards under the pavilion to do something unpredictable. I really won't give him this face today.
"Bronze smelly all over my body, I actually want to pull me in..." Jingdi picked up the teacup again and said, "Speak up first, let me consider it."
"The minister suddenly remembered that Your Majesty is the prince of a country and should not be contaminated with these coppery things. The minister also rushed to give gifts to the princess, and the minister retired..."
Li Yi retreated to the pavilion, and Jingdi's angry voice came over.
"Come back!"
"What else does your majesty call the ministers?"
"Say, what business is it!" Jingdi patted the table.
"What business?" Li Yi looked puzzled.
……
……
Li Yi sat opposite Jingdi, put the brocade box on the table, and took a sip of tea without any haste.
Sample, play this with myself, he is not himself who is short of money, see who is in a hurry...
"Where did you get so many glassware?" Jingdi asked, looking at him.
"The minister accidentally dug a glazed glaze mine in his backyard. The glazed ware in it is inexhaustible and it is inexhaustible. The minister wanted to take it out and make some contributions to the country. If you donate directly to the treasury, the people of the world will inevitably say that your majesty has taken arrogance and obtained the property of his ministers. The ministers naturally cannot damage his reputation. Therefore, the minister intends to do a business with his majesty."
"Are you sure?" Jingdi glanced at him and said, "Under the whole world, could it be Wangtu, Lituzhibin, could it be Wangchen... Since it was dug out from your backyard, then give it all. Give it to the country."
"Of course...not sure."
These days, the old emperor must have often mingled with some inconsistent people, and his words are becoming more and more shameless. Li Yi quickly said: "Actually, these glazed wares are just collected by the minister from the backyard of the house. It’s not easy to make it. Although nature is superb, how can there be such a vivid princess statue? This is a master craftsman in Beijing. It took half a year to sculpt it little by little. The material cost, Labor costs, equipment maintenance costs, mental damage costs... are all paid in advance by the minister himself."
"Can you make colored glaze?" Jingdi looked at him with a slightly shaken expression.
"If your majesty wants to learn, the minister can teach you..." Li Yi said with his hands: "After one or two years, your majesty will use colored glaze to make the roof tiles..."
"I haven't been so extravagant yet. Glazed tiles are made of tiles..." Jingdi cast a glance at him, and said, "If I really do that, I'm afraid it will be the number one faint emperor in history..."
Jingdi waved his hand and said, "Since it is a business, what do you need me to do?"
"Your majesty needs to hold a glazed appreciation meeting in the palace and invite Kyoto officials and dignitaries to visit the palace. Of course, it doesn’t matter whether the dignitaries come or not. The main reason is that their wives are coming. Try not to have one less..."
Jingdi glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Do you want to involve the queen?"
Afterwards, he seemed to have figured out something, looked at Li Yi, and said in astonishment: "You mean that in one or two years, Liuli will sell as cheap as tiles. Before the price drops, sell it to the rich and powerful in Kyoto?"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Jingdi waved his hand and said, "In this way, how do you face the nobles in Kyoto and gain a foothold in Kyoto? You are not worried about these things?"
"Why should the minister worry?" Li Yi asked suspiciously: "The minister does not intend to sell Liuli to take advantage of the powerful, why should he face them?"
Jingdi was taken aback, looked at him and asked, "Who did you drag into the water again?"
"Wang Family."
"------"
"The Wang family is indeed not easy to refuse such a thing, but in this way, you just want me to calculate my courtiers?" Jingdi squinted at Li Yi and said: "Li Yi, Li Yi Yi, I was caught in unrighteousness through this matter, where did you intend to!"
Li Yi was startled, with a look of guilt on his face, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knew that he was wrong. It was the minister who was obsessed with the ghost for a while. He accidentally plunged his majesty into an unrighteous situation. Then I go home to reflect, the minister will not sell the glazed ware, and go home to melt and make tiles..., the minister retire!"
……
After a while, Emperor Jing pointed to the brocade box on the table, looked directly at Li Yi, and asked, "Similar to this, how much silver do you plan to sell?"
Li Yi thought for a while and said: "This category is meticulously crafted, the most top works, less than twenty thousand taels will not be sold."
Jingdi shook his head and said, "Who would buy a glassware with twenty thousand taels?"
"The minister only sold eight thousand taels in the first two days of the Guanyin statue which is half this size." Li Yi said while looking at him.
"Have you paid taxes to the court?" Jingdi asked.
"..."
"This is not important." Li Yi pointed to the brocade box on the table, and said: "Your Majesty thinks that if the box contains the old Cui family's colored glaze statue, the price is 20,000 taels, will the Cui family buy it? The craftsmen at home are very skilled, and the minister plans to do more..."
"Is this bad?" After Jingdi was startled~IndoMTL.com~Hesitation appeared on his face.
"Forget it, anyway, there are too many colored glazes to take up space at home, and the minister intends to spend five cents a catty to deal with it."
"How much do you plan to donate to the treasury?"
As soon as Li Yi was about to speak, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "30%, at least 30%, how much impact this incident will have, you know better than me, a royal family, I'm afraid I can't stand it."
Li Yi was stunned, with a painful expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, 30%..., just 30%."
Seeing that he promised to be so refreshing, Jing Di was taken aback, rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "Even if it is pretending to be distressed, can you pretend to be more serious?"
"I changed my mind, I want 50%!"
Li Yi decided to go back and eat all the books in the performance department in the library, but this time I don’t need to install it. 50% of the Li family can’t eat. It’s not a good thing to be greedy. The Wang family takes 20% to take risks and bear the rich. Angrily, the old emperor used this tiger skin for 40%... the dragon skin, plus the royal propaganda and operating expenses, was not too much.
My family got 40%, which seems to be a loss, but it is actually a big profit.
As for the three achievements, I really feel distressed, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, 40%, 40% can't be more..."
It took another quarter of an hour to finally reach an agreement with the old emperor on the distribution of dirt. The royal family is 40%, the Li family is 40%, the Wang family is 20%, and the old lady Cui’s portrait is made first and taken everywhere On the same day, the Wang family held a charity sale in Kyoto. The big bargain was given to the Cui family. No thanks...
There are more and more common topics with the old emperor. The conclusion of this transaction is less than Li Yi expected.
"By the way, the Liuli Guanyin statue, who did you sell eight thousand taels to?" Jing Di asked, squinting his eyes as if thinking of something.
