Thinking of this, Li Er's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he said decisively without hesitation: "Okay! I agree to both of your conditions!"
At this time, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but interjected, "That...research funding...how much is it specifically?"
Su Chen glanced at him in surprise.
Changsun Wuji was indeed smarter than Li Er, and he was not fooled by his cake-painting skills.
"This is not yet certain."
Su Chen considered it carefully and said, "It depends on how much I need for my research. It won't be too much, so don't worry."
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
No specific numbers?
It’s over!
This is definitely a huge trap!
He had a hunch that in the future, the treasury of the Tang Dynasty might not be named Li!
"Then it's settled!"
Li Er didn't care about this and made the decision directly!
The national treasury has put into the treasury nearly ten million yuan a year, and he is very confident! How much does it cost to research something?
"Then write down the evidence!" Su Chen said with a smile.
"What documents are you writing?" His Majesty Li Er asked in surprise.
"The things we just discussed."
Su Chen explained: "You have to establish a written document and then stamp it."
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er felt a little unhappy.
I, the majestic emperor, have kept my promise, but I still want to give you written evidence?
But looking at Su Chen's firm eyes, I'm afraid it won't work.
Sighing, His Majesty Li Er threw over a pen and a piece of paper, and said angrily: "Then you write. After you finish writing, I will stamp you with a jade seal. Are you satisfied now?"
Changsun Wuji looked at this scene, his heart twitching
He knew very well that the reason why Su Chen had to make a written note was definitely because the amount was too small!
I am afraid that His Majesty will regret it!!
If Su Chen knew what Changsun Wuji was thinking at this time, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.
As expected of a famous and capable minister in history, he actually guessed almost exactly what he was thinking.
The reason why this written evidence was left was really to prevent Li Er from going back on his word.
Although he got a lot of gold from the Japanese country and couldn't use it up in a short time, with the system's gold-absorbing ability, sooner or later it would be exhausted.
Moreover, these golds can only be used when exchanging with the system and cannot be circulated on the market.
Otherwise, Datang's fragile monetary system will definitely collapse.
Therefore, in addition to gold, Su Chen also needed a large amount of Tang Dynasty's national currency.
Only in this way will it be safer to spend.
As long as Li Er gets fatter and fatter, harvesting wool is the best way to make money.
…
After writing furiously for a while, Su Chen raised his head and said, "I've finished writing."
"let me see."
Li Er came over and started studying word for word.
Although he was very excited, his basic rationality was still there.
I will be sealing it with a jade seal later, so I have to be more careful.
After reading it twice, His Majesty Li Er nodded.
"no problem."
Then, His Majesty Li Er decisively wrote his name with a pen, took out the jade seal, and stamped it with a snap.
Done!
Su Chen took the piece of paper over and blew a sigh of satisfaction.
With this thing, the subsequent wool harvesting plan will go very smoothly, it’s perfect!
But when he saw Li Er's signature, Su Chen was suddenly stunned and said, "Is this... Fei Bai Ti?"
"That's right!"
His Majesty Li Er nodded proudly and said: "I am not boasting, throughout the Tang Dynasty, no one understands Fei Bai Ti better than me!"
While His Majesty Li Er was feeling complacent, Su Chen's brain had already begun to work rapidly.
He vaguely remembered that Princess Jinyang, Xiao Sizi, seemed to be very good at flying white bodies!
According to historical records, after the death of Empress Changsun, Li Er took little Sizi with him and raised him personally. Sizi’s Feibai was taught by Li Ershu!
Moreover, Si Zi likes to imitate Li Er's handwriting very much, and the characters he writes are 70% or 80% similar to Li Er's!
Because of this, there have been a series of oolongs.
Su Chen suddenly had an idea.
There is a lot of room for maneuver in this matter!
The seal has been stamped, even if it is changed, Li Er can't deny it, right?
Thinking of this, Su Chen calmly folded the piece of paper and put it away. He said in a casual tone: "I will put this document away. If you regret it in the future, this will be evidence."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand impatiently and said: "I will never go back on my word!"
Su Chen nodded and said: "This is the best!
Changsun Wuji looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt something was inappropriate.
According to convention, shouldn't this document be for each person? Why did Su Chen only write one copy?
He was still thinking about whether to remind His Majesty, but Su Chen changed the topic and started talking about a new topic.
Su Chen said with a serious face: "The transaction is completed, then let's continue talking about business!"
"Based on my achievements, how should I be calculated? What kind of compensation should I be given?"
His Majesty Li Er's expression was blank, and he asked thoughtfully, "Isn't that what you just said about compensation?"
Su Chen shook his head categorically and said, "Of course not, it was an equal transaction, and I didn't take any advantage!"
His Majesty Li Er swallowed secretly and said, "What else do you want?"
"To tell you the truth, these forty-three continents are already the limit. If you feel that it is not enough, you can only wait until we conquer new territories in the future, or I will relax some permissions for you."
"Just like Wannian County, you can do whatever you want."
Su Chen shook his head and said: "These fiefdoms don't mean much to me, so I only want to collect taxes. I will not interfere with anything in these forty-three continents!"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji felt very strange.
This is completely unlike Su Chen’s style!
How come he doesn’t want the benefits?
You know, there is still a lot of trouble if you manage it yourself.
Especially with Su Chen's business capabilities, as long as he develops business a little bit, these continents will be chickens that lay golden eggs, and the income will definitely be higher than the taxes.
But soon, Changsun Wuji's brows widened, and he suddenly thought of something.
Perhaps Su Chen still knows the importance. If he really takes charge of these continents himself, he will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the imperial court.
Because that would be too great a threat to the imperial power, especially some veterans. They would probably oppose it desperately.
But if Su Chen only wants to pay taxes, there will be no impact. Everything is within control and there will be no violent repercussions.
Thinking of this, Changsun Wuji glanced at Su Chen with some emotion.
As expected, this young man saw clearly and did not lose himself in the face of huge interests.
But His Majesty Li Er was not as optimistic as Changsun Wuji.
