When the father sees that his son is still young, he has seven wolves in his hands!
This sentence inexplicably came to Li Changfeng's mind. When he saw Emperor Qianwu pull out the shining golden belt, he was crazy to be beaten. He immediately dodged and ran away, shouting: "Father, I am not my son." This means that a gentleman should put down his belt even if he talks but does not use his hands!"
"Stop for me!"
"You are such a fool, I will stand down and wait for you to beat me!" How could Li Changfeng believe it?
"You bastard, you are so brave. You dare to disobey me. Let's see if I don't beat you to death today!" Emperor Qianwu was furious and chased after him with his belt raised.
Gao Dali, who was standing by, could not watch Emperor Qianwu beating Li Changfeng. He knew very well how much His Majesty liked His Highness the Ninth Prince, but he was momentarily offended by His Highness the Ninth Prince's straightforward and disgusting words, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Ninth Prince has already received eighty blows from the imperial staff and is seriously injured. Please do not hit His Highness again."
While talking, he also tried his best to give Li Changfeng some compliments.
Your Highness, enough is enough.
When he heard this, Li Changfeng felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was just a formality, and the blow on his body didn't hurt at all. Of course, he also knew that this was the step given to him by Gao Dali, so he immediately knelt down and said: "Father, I know I was wrong."
Seeing this, Emperor Qianwu walked down the steps, put away his belt, and snorted coldly: "I'm sorry you just received the Eighty-Ting Staff and were injured on your body, I will forgive you this time."
"Thank you, Father."
"Okay, come here and sit down."
Li Changfeng stood up again and sat down opposite him steadily, looking like he was injured somewhere.
However, everyone was just acting, so Emperor Qianwu naturally did not expose it. He turned over this issue and said sternly: "Now let's talk about business. I am very interested in the refined salt, Mixue Ice City, beer and barbecue business that you have created." Looking forward to it, so you take the time to start it here in the capital as soon as possible."
Just a little Ocha made his internal funds reach 300,000 taels, which was immediately filled up.
If he could start all these businesses, Emperor Qianwu had absolute confidence that his own internal funds could exceed the national treasury in a short period of time. Then he would no longer need to look at the faces of some people, and it would be easier to rule.
Emperor Qianwu, who had just tasted the sweetness of Xiaoyu Tea, naturally hoped that Li Changfeng would start these businesses in the capital as soon as possible.
"Father, as the saying goes, in business matters, brothers must also settle accounts clearly. In this case, before we talk about these business affairs, you and I should settle the accounts carefully." Li Changfeng said, "Before, you had no interest in my son's side. You took out a loan of ninety-five thousand taels, and now you have sold out all the little imperial teas in the capital. You should pay off the loan first and then discuss the business with me."
Gao Dali watched on the side with his scalp numb. He had never seen anyone dare to ask for money blatantly in front of His Majesty.
When the money came to Emperor Qianwu, how could he get it out so easily? He said directly: "I don't have any money at the moment, so I'll pay off the loan later."
Li Changfeng sneered: "In that case, please ask your father to repay the loan first, and then we can discuss other business cooperation."
Are you kidding? I really think he is a fool. I don't know that Emperor Qianwu relied on Xiao Yucha to amass a fortune of more than 300,000 taels in the capital.
You actually told him that you had no money?
It's obvious that he doesn't want to pay back the money.
Emperor Qianwu frowned: "Don't you believe me?"
Li Changfeng nodded: "I don't believe it!"
Emperor Qianwu: "..."
Gao Dali: "..."
Gao Dali's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "Your Highness, please don't be so direct even if you don't believe me. Can you be more tactful?"
Emperor Qianwu could only say helplessly: "You don't need to worry about these loans. I keep my word. Since I promised to pay you back, I naturally won't owe you anything."
"I also believe that my father will definitely return it to me." Li Changfeng nodded, "So, I'd better ask my father to return it to me before we can discuss business."
Seeing that Li Changfeng was not getting enough food and salt, Emperor Qianwu was helpless. He was indeed being unreasonable in this matter. He sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it, it's just that I don't have the money."
Li Changfeng rolled his eyes and exposed it directly: "I think you just don't want to give it to me. You sold a box of Xiaoyu Tea for one hundred and sixty-six taels and made three hundred thousand in one go. Don't you know that?"
Being exposed in public, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he still didn't want to pay. He sighed and said slowly: "Do you think my internal funds are very rich? Think about it, how many people have to support in the palace? Moreover, a while ago, I gave one hundred thousand taels to the treasury to deal with the floods in Shangzhou, but I really have no money!"
"You took out 100,000 taels, don't you still have 200,000 taels?" Li Changfeng was surprised, "After you repaid the loan of 95,000 taels, you still have 105,000 taels. Why don't you have any money? "
Ninety-five thousand taels, that’s ninety-five thousand taels. Do you think it’s ninety-five thousand taels or nine hundred and fifty taels?
Emperor Qianwu finally enriched his internal funds so much, but he was not willing to take out half of it. He made up his mind that he was unwilling to pay back the money, so he forcefully skipped the topic and said in a cold voice: "Let's not talk about this for now, but you can You have to explain it clearly to me. You used the name of the royal family to give Xiao Oucha a good name, and then you used my name to get an emperor's suite in the Peace Hotel to make money. How do you think this account is settled?"
Li Changfeng knew that he was in the wrong in these two matters, but it was impossible for him to give up the loan of 95,000 taels. He could only bring out the ultimate killing weapon and said with a wry smile: "Father, Do you really think that my son values money so much because he is free and happy?"
Emperor Qianwu: "Isn't it?"
Li Changfeng shook his head and said: "If I want to be free and happy, I have already earned enough money before, so why bother with your father? After all, everything I have comes from my father. Do you want to I have absolutely no objection to taking it back. But since you, Father, have seen artillery and muskets, you should also know that these two very powerful weapons are the products of research institutes."
"I won't hide it from you here. All along, except for rebuilding Baishi City, most of the money I earned from doing business has gone to the Research Institute."
"Father, you are the current emperor. You know the Ministry of Industry, and you also know how much money the Ministry of Industry needs to make sophisticated weapons. In the same way, in order to research artillery and muskets, I can say without politeness, in The research institute has invested more than one million taels of money here."
Of course, the one million taels invested refers to the total investment from the establishment of the scientific research institute, which cannot be just artillery and muskets, but also video recorders, cameras, kerosene, gunpowder, hundred-forged steel and other technologies.
As long as you master the corresponding principles, you can create artillery and muskets without investing so much money.
However, Li Changfeng could not be stupid enough to say it, but he would resort to artillery and muskets to do the trick.
He knew how much Emperor Qianwu valued artillery and muskets.
As the Emperor of Daqian, Emperor Qianwu naturally knew how much money the Ministry of Industry spent on making weapons, but they were just ordinary weapons.
But the artillery and muskets of Baishi City are undoubtedly the real important weapons of the country, and cannot be made by ordinary people.
Although he was shocked that Li Changfeng actually invested millions of taels, you must know that Daqian's previous treasury was less than 500,000 taels, and he only had a pitiful few tens of thousands of taels.
This bastard son can indeed make a lot of money.
However, Emperor Qianwu also knew the importance of artillery and muskets, and invested one million taels in researching it. To be honest, he thought it was worth it. The key technology was only mastered in Baishi City. He knew the importance of artillery and muskets. The importance, thinking of the huge changes that artillery and musket technology has brought to Daqian after the maturity of artillery and musket technology, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I will return the money to you!"
Li Changfeng suddenly smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up: "Father, you are so righteous!"
My mouth went dry when I said it. It was not easy to finally get this cheap emperor to be willing to pay back the money.
Emperor Qianwu said: "I will ask Gao Dali to give you these ninety-five thousand taels later. Now let's talk about other business matters."
Now that Emperor Qianwu relented, Li Changfeng still believed in the promise of Emperor Qian and said: "Father, I have inspected the capital in the past few days since I came to the capital. Since it is the hot summer period, if Mixue Bingcheng If you open a shop in the capital, you will definitely be able to sell well, and you will not have to worry about selling. As for beer and barbecue, I believe you have seen it in Huangfu, so I believe that these two businesses will definitely work in the capital. "
"Of course, whether it is selling ice or beer, the best time is during the hot summer. Once this period has passed, it will not be very popular. Especially the ice selling business, the capital will enter autumn in a month or two, and the weather will It's much cooler and there will be no business."
"As for beer, it can be bundled with barbecue. Even in winter, there is still a certain market."
Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction when he saw that Li Changfeng spoke eloquently and logically.
Immediately, he sighed with some pity. Xiaojiu's mind was indeed very smart, but it was a pity that he did not aspire to officialdom. Otherwise, he would have been lucky.
"What you said is very good, but what about the refined salt?" Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but ask.
The sale of refined salt is of great importance and involves many intricate relationships, so he threw it out and decided to give Li Changfeng a test and wanted to hear his opinion.
Li Changfeng frowned and said: "As for refined salt, I haven't seen any refined salt for sale since I came to the capital. I am also very curious. Refined salt is obviously better than official salt. Why did my father become a small emperor?" We are in the tea business, but we haven’t started the refined salt business yet? The refined salt business should be better sold than Xiao Oicha, right?”
Emperor Qianwu shook his head: "If we really talk about business, the refined salt business involves people's livelihood, so it is naturally easier to sell. But all along, official salt is not in the hands of the imperial court, but in the hands of aristocratic families."
Li Changfeng inherited his predecessor and still has some understanding of the world.
The so-called aristocratic family is a family that has been inherited for a long time. It not only dominates one side and has private soldiers, but also has great control over all aspects of the world.
I heard that part of the important reason why Emperor Qianwu was able to overthrow the previous dynasty was because of the power of the aristocratic family.
If you want to run a refined salt business, you are undoubtedly going against the aristocratic family.
PS: I have revised this chapter several times, deleting, deleting, and deleting some unnecessary content. I even wrote out the share of the business between the king and his son that I originally wanted to write, but after reading it, I still deleted it. Drop it, otherwise it will become very watery. Regarding refined salt, I initially planned to write it all in one go, but this involves some extensions later, such as the Shijia family, and I need to write more. So I thought about it. I think I’d better write here for the time being, because if it’s a little later, it’s past 12 o’clock, and I’ll miss today’s update.
I have just put it on the shelves now, so I can’t delay updating it until after 12 o’clock, so I will update it first.
I apologize here. But readers, don’t worry, I will definitely be able to read the plot here in the first chapter tomorrow. I don’t want to be too superficial, but some content still needs to be written out first.
