The Xian Wang looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Xue'er, you go somewhere else to play for a while. My father has something to discuss with Xu Qing."
Hearing what her father said, Xiao Ruxue agreed and left.
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing and said: "After the winery is opened, you can't ask Xue'er to help you manage it. She is tired enough to manage a shop by herself!"
Although Xiao Ruxue is in charge of the shop now, she can be said to be in pain and happiness!
Seeing that the shop she runs is getting better and better, Xiao Ruxue can be said to be enjoying it.
Since taking charge of the bookstore, Xiao Ruxue's waist no longer hurts, her legs no longer hurt, and the number of quarrels with Xiao Ye has even decreased.
At least we rarely quarreled when we were in the bookstore.
But... there is a kind of tiredness that makes your dad think you are tired. This is the situation that Xianwang is in now. He cannot treat his daughter dearly. Xu Qing looks at Xiao Ruxue, who is full of energy every day. Is there any sign of tiredness?
But since his father said so, of course Xu Qing had to take care of Xiao Ruxue.
She is only fourteen years old now, not even fifteen, so it is really not suitable for her to be too tired.
But... if you manage a shop by yourself, it would be too tiring!
So Xu Qing looked at King Xian and said: "Your Majesty, this is a state businessman after all, and the next person will be too busy, right... Do you think you can find a partner for me?"
The wise king nodded and said: "Yes, since it is a state businessman, and it is not good for my royal family to be alone, then let the traitor help you run this state businessman."
Xu Qing nodded and looked at King Xian and said, "Your Majesty, can I be given a title for your contribution this time?"
Xian Wang has always been shameless. If Xu Qing doesn't take the initiative, who knows how long the credit will be accumulated. There is no progress bar for Xu Qing to see. Whether the credit is enough or not is up to Xian Wang.
The wise king looked at Xu Qing and said: "You are impatient. You are seeking a title when many talented people are still seeking an official position. You are bold, that's all. If strong wine can really reduce the casualties of our Dachu soldiers, I will promise
You are a prince."
When Xu Qing heard this, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, the jealousy in the eyes of the wise king was no longer concealed: "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, how old are you? As far as I know, you are not even seventeen years old, right? You won the title of nobility before you are seventeen, tsk tsk
, but it makes me so envious."
Xu Qing coughed and said: "Your Majesty, you can't say that, what I have done is all real merit, and... you are still the prince..."
The wise king looked at Xu Qing and said with a smile: "It's just because of the shadow of my ancestors. If I were you, I might not be better than you at this age. What? Are you envious of my title?"
When Xu Qing heard this, he quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."
Envy is envy, what you can't admit is still what you can't admit, but to be honest, Xu Qing really wants such an ancestor!
The wise king looked at Xu Qing and smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? What if you have some more fantastic ideas to help me from Chu Chu to the Central Plains, and what if I grant you a king with a different surname?"
After hearing this, Xu Qing sighed: "Then I'll just open my shop honestly."
What if I help Da Chu unify the Central Plains and give me a king with a different surname? It's easy to say. If I had the power to unify the Central Plains, would I still be a king?
If this is not clear, Wang Jue has no need to talk about it...
Moreover, why did Xu Qing feel that King Xian had a sense of conspiracy? Was he trying to drain all the thoughts out of his mind?
In fact, to be honest, the wise king really had this intention.
It wasn't originally possible, but Xu Qing gave the wise king too many miracles. Liquor and horseshoes, these two things might be the weapons to expand the territory in the future!
The money saved by changing to horseshoes will be the military expenses of the great Chu in the future!
If he could come up with two such amazing ideas in such a short period of time, doesn't it mean that he might actually come up with more ideas?
As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength, and the wise king is really afraid that a genius like Xu Qing with a lot of bad ideas in his head will not have any desire at all.
Now, the goal is very clear. Xu Qing wants a title, and the higher the better.
If he wants something, the wise king will be able to offer him something corresponding to induce him to do so.
Anyway, in the end, it is up to him to decide whether he has done enough or not. Moreover, if he can really help Chu to unify the Central Plains, how can he be worthy of being a king with a different surname?
After such a calculation, the wise king felt that he would not lose anything!
He can care about Xu Qing's talent, but what can Xu Qing care about himself? He can't care about himself in anything!
The only thing I can do is take a look at the title of Da Chu.
Although knighthoods are rare nowadays, that is because of the strict control of the royal family. It is not worth much to seal a title.
After all, it was just an imperial edict. It only had the power to tax but not jurisdiction over the fiefdom, and it couldn't even collect all taxes.
No matter how you think about it, if you use a title that is worth nothing to trap a person like Xu Qing who has ruthless and endless ideas, you will make a profit!
Moreover, if the strong wine really has such miraculous effects, the Xian Wang should also give Xu Qing a title. After all, he will work for the court in the future. He will help the Xian Wang establish the country's merchants, Da Chu laws and regulations, and Da Chu officials.
You can't do business, but Jue can.
Granting Xu Qing a title would also allow him to legitimately manage the country's business as a virtuous king.
In the end, Xu Qing spent the whole morning and finally negotiated a deal with King Xian.
This is a big deal. If you can do it well, you will have money, a title, and a title. It will be a huge profit!
So, when they went out, Xu Qing and Xian Wang both laughed and felt that they had made a lot of money.
When someone makes a profit, someone loses. Xiao Ye, who was busy copying poems in the small dark room, sneezed.
He rubbed his arms. The weather is getting colder and colder. He needs to wear more clothes tomorrow...
Although the sun is so bright, where does this cool air come from?
When Xiao Ye finished copying the poems and walked out of the house, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye with a smile: "Good morning, Brother Xiao."
Xiao Ye looked at the sun, which was already past noon and turned into afternoon, and his throat moved: "Morning...morning..."
Aren’t you talking nonsense with your eyes open! Why is it so early when the sun is almost setting?!
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, what are you looking for?"
Xu Qing said: "It's like this. The palace plans to cooperate with me on a business, and Brother Xiao will be in charge of the palace."
Xiao Ye's eyes lit up after hearing this: "How are profits distributed?"
Xu Qing said awkwardly: "I can divide it into 30%."
Xiao Ye frowned: "Then it's 70%? This is too unfair to Brother Xu!"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao misunderstood, the prince accounts for 70%."
