Chapter 619: Business Deals

Emperor Jing's expression relaxed, and he said, "Say, what can I do?" ”

"The minister wants to do a business with His Majesty."

"Business?" Emperor Jing glanced at him and said lightly: "In this world, it is the first time that someone has asked me to do business. ”

Li Yixin said What kind of did the old emperor brag, the first time he did business with people?

Who did the thing that tempted him with the lovely Yongning last time to let him play against the Qi people?

If it weren't for the fear of exposing him and making his face gloomy, he might have made the guards under the pavilion do something unpredictable, and he really wouldn't have given him this face today.

"It's full of copper smell, and you still want to pull me in...... Emperor Jing picked up the teacup again and said, "You say it first, and I will think about it when I say it." ”

"The minister suddenly remembered that His Majesty is the king of a country, and he should not be contaminated with these copper smells, and the minister hurried to give gifts to Her Royal Highness the princess, and the minister retired ......"

Li Yi retreated to the pavilion, and Emperor Jing's angry voice came.

"Come back!"

"What else is there to do with Your Majesty's summoning of ministers?"

"Say, what kind of business is it!" Emperor Jing slapped the table.

"What business?" Li Yi looked puzzled.

……

……

Li Yi sat opposite Emperor Jing, put the brocade box on the table, and took a sip of tea without hurrying.

Sample, play this with yourself, he is the one who lacks money and not himself, see who is in a hurry first......

"Where did you get so many glassware?" Emperor Jing looked at him and asked.

"The minister accidentally dug a glass mine in his backyard, the glazed ware in it is inexhaustible, and it is also put away, and the minister wants to take it out and make some contributions to the country, but if it is donated directly to the treasury, the people of the world will inevitably say that His Majesty has taken advantage of the wealth of his courtiers, and the ministers naturally cannot let His Majesty's reputation be damaged, so the minister intends to do a business with His Majesty."

"Are you sure?" Emperor Jing glanced at him and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's minister......s, since it is dug up from your backyard, then give it all to the country." ”

"Of course...... Up in the air. ”

The old emperor must have often mixed with some indiscreet people these days, and his speech is becoming more and more shameless, Li Yi hurriedly said: "Actually, these glazed ware, just the minister from the backyard of the house, finally made, although nature is magical, where can the axe out such a vivid princess statue, this is the minister invited the craftsman in Beijing, it took half a year to carve out little by little, which is the material cost, labor cost, equipment maintenance fee, mental loss fee ......, are paid by the minister himself." ”

"Can you make glass?" Emperor Jing looked at him with a slightly shocked expression.

"If Your Majesty wants to learn, the minister can teach you......" Li Yi arched his hand and said: "In a year or two, Your Majesty can use glass to make tiles on the roof......

"I haven't been extravagant enough to be that kind of ...... glazed tiles" Emperor Jing glanced at him and said, "If I really do that, I'm afraid I will be the first faint king recorded in the history books......

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Since it's business, what do you need me to do?" ”

"The minister needs His Majesty to hold a glass appreciation meeting in the palace, and invite Kyoto officials and magnates to the palace to watch, of course, it doesn't matter if the magnates come or not, the main thing is that their wives are coming, and no one is ......missing."

Emperor Jing glanced at him with a smile and said, "You want to involve the queen as well?" ”

Then, as if he had figured out something, he looked at Li Yi and said in astonishment: "You mean that in a year or two, the glaze will be sold as cheaply as tiles, and you want to sell it to the Kyoto magnates before the price of the glaze drops?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "In this way, at that time, how will you face the powerful people in Kyoto and how will you gain a foothold in Kyoto?" Don't you worry about these things? ”

"Why should you worry?" Li Yi asked suspiciously: "The minister doesn't plan to sell the glass to take advantage of the powerful, why should he face them?" ”

Emperor Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Who did you drag into the water again?" ”

"The Wang family."

“------”

"It's really not easy for the Wang family to refuse such a thing, but in this way, you just want me to calculate my courtiers?" Emperor Jing squinted at Li Yi and said, "Li Yi, Li Yi, through this matter, I fell into injustice, what is your intention!" ”

Li Yi was stunned, a look of guilt appeared on his face, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, it is the minister who is obsessed with the ghost for a while, and inadvertently puts His Majesty into an unrighteous situation, the minister knows his mistake, the minister will go home to reflect, the glazed minister will not sell it, go home and melt it to make tile ......, and the minister will retire!" ”

……

After a while, Emperor Jing pointed to the brocade box on the table, looked directly at Li Yi, and asked, "Something like this, how much silver are you going to sell?" ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said: "This kind of work is meticulously crafted, the most top-notch work, less than 20,000 taels will not be sold." ”

Emperor Jing shook his head and said, "Who would use 20,000 taels to buy a glass ware?" ”

"Two days ago, the minister only sold 8,000 taels of Guanyin statue that was half smaller than this." Li Yi looked at him and said.

"Have you paid taxes to the imperial court?" Emperor Jing asked.

“……”

"It's not important." Li Yi pointed to the brocade box on the table and said, "Your Majesty thinks that if this box is a glass statue of the old lady of the Cui family, with a price tag of 20,000 taels, will the Cui family buy it?" The craftsmen in the Chen's family are very skilled, and the minister plans to do a few more ......"

"Isn't that right?" After Emperor Jing was stunned, his face showed hesitation.

"Forget it, anyway, there is too much glass to occupy at home, and the minister plans to take out five cents a pound to deal with it."

"How much are you going to give to the treasury?"

As soon as Li Yi was about to speak, Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "Thirty percent, at least thirty percent, how much impact this matter will have, you know better than me, a Wang family, I'm afraid it can't withstand it." ”

Li Yi was stunned, with a painful expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, three percent ......, just three percent." ”

Seeing that he promised so happily, Emperor Jing was stunned, then rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Even if you pretend to be distressed, can you pretend to be more serious?" ”

"I've changed my mind, I want fifty percent!"

Li Yi decided to eat all the books of the acting department in the library after he went back, but this time he didn't have to pretend, fifty percent of the Li family couldn't eat, greed was not a good thing, the Wang family took twenty percent to take the risk of bearing the anger of the powerful, and the old emperor took forty percent to borrow this tiger skin ......, dragon skin, plus the cost of royal publicity and operation, it was not much.

If you take forty percent of your own family, it seems to be a loss, but it is actually a big profit.

As for Sancheng, he was really distressed, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, forty percent, forty percent can't be more......

It took another quarter of an hour of effort, and finally reached an agreement with the old emperor on the distribution of dirty things, the royal forty percent, the Li family forty percent, the Wang family two percent, the statue of the old lady Cui made a dozen first, and took it to various places to sell, the same day, the Wang family carried out a charity sale in Kyoto, and this big bargain was given to the Cui family, no thanks......

There are more and more common topics with the old emperor, and the negotiation of this deal is less than Li Yi expected.

"By the way, who did you sell the glass Guanyin statue to?" As if thinking of something, Emperor Jing squinted his eyes and asked.
