Chapter 1711 Concubine Wen Shows Up
Tibetan Eryuan.
A thirteen-on-one verbal battle officially began with Mu Bai's statement of the royal family's request.
Negotiation is a large number of people, and it does have a certain blessing effect. After all, the fireworks of many people are high, and the wisdom of the group is often higher than that of a person's cleverness.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
For example, if ten ladies from a family are combined, they may not be able to curse a shrew. When the rank gap is very large, the number of people can no longer determine what.
Li Ziye, a low-quality representative of martial arts gold-level and wisdom master-level, but a swearing level, is never afraid at this moment.
Not to mention that there are only thirteen people on the other side, even if they double it, the result will not change.
"30%."
Li Ziye had heard the conditions proposed by the Fourth Prince, and a smile appeared on his face and asked, "Fourth Prince, what you said is 30% net profit or gross profit?"
"Of course it's net profit."
Mu Bai replied seriously, "I still know this common sense."
"Sister Nan Qiao."
During the seat, Li Ziye picked up the tea and took a sip, and asked, "Do you think this requirement is reasonable?"
"Reasonable."
On the right hand of Empress Changsun, Changsun Nanqiao heard someone click her name. From a question of her position, he could only respond unconscience, "Net profit refers to the silver that fell into the Li family's pocket, which has been thrown away.
The cost of the Li family is not much."
"If Sister Nan Qiao feels it is reasonable, then what if this is the case."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "In the Great Shang Dynasty, if all the eight imperial merchants were willing to give 30% of their net profits and hand over them to the national treasury, then my Li family would have no objection."
When Changsun Nanqiao heard the counterattack of the Li family's legitimate son in front of him, his face changed slightly.
She knew this would happen!
Opposite the seat, a prince and nobleman immediately turned out to be unfair when he heard this condition. Obviously, everyone present was more or less involved with the eight royal merchants.
"The Li family, every item sold is paid in accordance with the Dabao Law and the Li family is not afraid of anyone to investigate, and even the accounts can be made public."
Li Ziye turned the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "If the eight imperial merchants can do this, they will pay 30% of the net profit. The Li family will cooperate happily."
Among the businesses owned by Dashang, if the one who is most investigated is definitely the Li family.
However, if the one who is being investigated the most is must be the Eight Great Imperial Merchants.
The money from national taxes must be entered into the national treasury, and even the royal family cannot be used easily.
However, it is interesting to see who the money exposed by the eight royal merchants through various means has been put into their pockets.
Next to the master, Mu Bai sighed softly when he saw the faces of the princes.
A blacksmith must be strong himself. For such a royal family, if you want to talk to others, if someone fights back a little, there is nothing to say.
"Teacher Li, don't mess around!"
At this time, next to King Wu'an, an old man with white beard spoke and said in a deep voice, "The eight imperial merchants have been a long time since they became imperial merchants. How much taxes and net profits have been paid have been decided long ago, how can they be changed easily? Now, it is the Li family.
If you want to become an imperial merchant, my royal family must also make their own requests.”
"Who is the old man?"
Li Ziye looked at the old man in front of him, thought for a while, and asked, "Yes, Duke Gu is right? What you said just now really represents the royal family?"
This old man seems to be a relative of the foreigner, but he didn't pay much attention before and was a passerby who was too lazy to take a look at him.
"Since my Duke has been here for a few days, what he said is of course the royal family." Duke Gu replied in a deep voice.
When Li Ziye heard the old man in front of him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Actually, it's okay for the Li family to not become an imperial merchant."
This old man seems to have not understood the real situation.
This time the peace talks were proposed by the royal family, and the Li family just expressed the conditions for peace talks.
If you can talk, you will talk. If you can’t talk, you won’t talk. The Li family doesn’t care.
"Teaching Li misunderstood the meaning of Gu Guogong."
On the main seat, Empress Changsun saw that the negotiations were not going well and immediately interrupted, "Of course, my royal family welcomed the Li family to become the imperial merchant. However, it is not a trivial matter after all,
If the Li family does not show enough sincerity, it will be difficult to convince the public. Li Zhixi also knows that there are too many businesses in the Da Shang territory that want to become an imperial merchant. If you make an exception, you must have a reason."
During the seat, Li Ziye heard the queen's statement and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
He is worthy of being the lord of the harem of the Great Shang Dynasty, and his speaking level is different.
It is not twice as strong as the idle people on the opposite side.
Thinking of this, Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously, "Sincerity, the Li family has it. How about this? Now it is time for war, the national treasury urgently needs silver. How much silver should the eight royal merchants join together?
My Li family took out the same amount of silver to enrich the national treasury together. Do the Empress and the Fourth Highness think it is enough for such sincerity?"
On the main seat, Empress Changsun fell silent.
To be honest, this method can indeed greatly alleviate the empty treasury situation.
However, this trick by Teacher Li was to force the royal family to the opposite of the eight imperial merchants.
To alleviate the emptiness of the treasury, the royal family must force the eight royal families to hand over enough silver, so that the Li family will also take out the same amount of silver.
However, if the royal family does not want to offend the eight imperial merchants, it is even a formality, and the Li family does not need to give up any benefits.
Moreover, the Li family dared to compete with the eight royal merchants on their own, and had extraordinary courage. If the royal family refused again, it would appear that the royal family had no sincerity for today's peace talks.
I have to say that Teacher Li’s trick is very clever.
Just when Li Ziye forced the royal family to the point of retreating, the news of the White-clothed Sword Fairy blocking the Li family's legitimate son in the street reached Shou'an Palace and Wenxuan Courtyard at the same time.
"Soul-Suppressing Pearl."
After hearing the news from the eyeliner, Fan Wenzhen walked quickly towards the Shou'an Palace without thinking.
Soon, Fan Wenzhen walked over in front of Shou'an Hall, and after the notice, he hurried into the hall.
"What's the matter?"
On the bed, the Emperor Shang opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you tell you that there is nothing important to you, don't come to Shou'an Palace without authorization?"
"Your Majesty, I have important things to report."
Fan Wenzhen said with a serious expression, "I just received the news that the Soul-Suppressing Pearl is now in the hands of the Li family's legitimate son."
"What's wrong? Is that bead different?" Shang Huang frowned and asked.
"Your Majesty doesn't know anything."
Fan Wenzhen explained with a serious expression, "The Soul-Suppressing Bead and the Hunyuan Pearl have the same origin and symbiotic effect, but the Soul-Suppressing Bead has the effect of soul-Suppressing Beads, and its control ability on the underworld and the Night Ghost is still above the Hunyuan Pearl.
As long as we get the Soul-Suppressing Pearl, I am sure to create a rational night ghost in the shortest time."
"Um?"
When the Shang Emperor heard this, a blazing light burst out in his eyes and asked, "Is your words true?"
"It's true!"
Fan Wen said truly lustfully, "Your Majesty, we must get that soul-squeezing bead, no matter what the price it costs."
“It’s not easy.”
After a brief mood swing, the Shang Emperor calmed down again and said in a voice, "That legitimate son of the Li family is very difficult to deal with. It is difficult to get something from him."
Fan Wenzhen was silent and no longer expressed any more.
Her task is just to bring words, and there is no need to say too much. She still understands the truth that too much will lead to mistakes, especially the Emperor of Shang in front of her, who is still so suspicious.
"It seems that this peace talks must be facilitated."
On the bed, Shang Huang thought for a moment and called out, "Come."
"His Majesty."
At this moment, a shadow guard appeared in the hall and saluted respectfully.
"Go to Zangluyuan to tell the queen that the peace talks with the Li family today must be completed, and the interests of the royal family can be made." The Shang Emperor ordered calmly.
"yes!"
Chapter completed!
