After the first task was done, Fang Xuanling continued,""In addition, Fuma wants Your Majesty to choose a minister to participate in the sale of this Erguotou Immortal Wine.”
Without official authorization and a certain background, this wine could not be sold casually. The beer was fine, but if Erguotou was thrown out like this, it would cause a lot of trouble. In order to avoid causing trouble for himself, Li Chen decided to look for Li Er to make trouble.
It would be a pity if he did not pull up such a big flag.
When he didn't have a backer, he would cause trouble because he had no choice. When he had a backer, he would still foolishly cause trouble. That was a problem with his intelligence. Trouble was the backer. Money was earned lying down. How leisurely was that?
"This brat."
Li Eryi was so angry that he laughed. It was true that he could get a lot of benefits by cooperating with Li Chen to sell wine, but Li Chen's method of using the flag made him not know whether to laugh or cry. He had a good plan. He would step forward to settle the others, and Li Chen would lie down and count the money.
Li Er would be the one at a disadvantage in this kind of thing, but he had to suffer. For the sake of money, Li Er was almost worried to death. As long as he did not openly use the royal family's banner, he could casually send someone to take over and make money. This was a good thing, but he felt a little uncomfortable being schemed against.
Li Er slammed the table and asked angrily,"Then did he say who he was going to appoint?”
Fang Xuanling coughed and said seriously,""This old minister has a lot of business to attend to, and I'm afraid I can't spare the time.”
Qin Qiong wasn't stupid either. He hurriedly said," Your Majesty, this old subject's body is lacking. I still need to recuperate at home, so I'm unable to participate."”
"Old subject." By the time Cheng Yaojin reacted, it was already too late. He found Li Er staring at him and nodding his head continuously. His heart skipped a beat. As expected, Li Er directly appointed Cheng Yaojin." Then I'll have to trouble you, Duke Lu. The national treasury is tight, so I need you to work hard."”
Cheng Yaojin was depressed. Why did this matter fall on his head? Although he didn't know the steps, it was definitely very troublesome. Otherwise, why would Fang Xuanling and Qin Qiong just ditch him?
Now that Li Er had spoken, he could only accept it gloomily.”
With a way to earn extra money, Li Er felt much better. This Prince Consort was quite interesting. At least he didn't cause trouble for him. He was still here to give money. He could be schemed against more often. Zhen wouldn't mind.
After he finished selling the Erguotou, the highlight of the show came. Fang Xuanling opened the last bag and said to the few of them seriously,"Your Majesty, Duke Lu and Duke Yi, please check the value of this item.”
Li Er put down the wine in his hand and came over. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin waited for Li Er to stand in his position before they went forward. It was okay. The three of them could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"This is refined salt? Where could they produce such pure white salt?”
The veins on Li Er's neck bulged. It was obvious how anxious he was. Salt was an important weapon of the country and could not be taken lightly. As long as it was related to salt and iron, it needed to be treated with caution.
"This is snow salt, refined from coarse salt by the Fuma. It is as white as snow, without any impurities or salt poison.”
Li Er was the first one who couldn't hold it in. He picked up a little salt and put it into his mouth. Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong followed suit. Although the salt was so salty that their faces were almost wrinkled together, no one spat it out. They couldn't bear to spit it out.
"This salt must be controlled. Otherwise, if it enters the market, the entire Great Tang will suffer!!”As the emperor, Li Er was very clear about the importance of snow salt.
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong looked at the snow salt in the bag in a daze. It would be great if they could have this kind of salt to eat during the war. Compared to this snow salt, even the refined salt specially used by the royal family on the market was trash.
Li Er walked back and forth in the hall, his entire person in a mess. The impact of the snow salt on him was too great. Qin Qiong sighed slightly and did not say anything, but Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded." Could it be that this is also caused by that miscellaneous student?"”
How dare you mention miscellaneous studies?
Fang Xuanling's eyes widened. Qin Qiong pulled his face out and gave him a kick. It was because of your miscellaneous studies that caused the Fuma to fly into a rage and cause so much trouble later on. How dare you mention it!!
After being hit by Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin realized his mistake and smiled awkwardly without saying anything. This was the pain of his life. Who the f * ck knew that mentioning a miscellaneous subject could make Li Chen so angry? It was simply a ghost. He was comparable to those old sour scholars who taught princes and princesses.
After pacing back and forth for a while, Li Er, who was burning with anxiety, couldn't help but look at Fang Xuanling." What conditions does he have?”
Over time, Li Er had become immune to Li Chen's bad habit. He had already stated his conditions for everything. Otherwise, there was no chance!!
This was the only one in the Great Tang.
Fang Xuanling said," The Prince Consort has two conditions. The court will produce coarse salt, and he will refine it. Then, the designated officials will be in charge of selling it. No one else is allowed to interfere, not even the high officials, princes, or princesses.”
The more Li Er heard this, the more he felt that something was wrong. Was this a precaution to prevent me from nurturing a second Zhangsun Clan? Thinking of this, Li Er's old face collapsed, but he did not explain, because it was the truth.
"The second condition is that he wants 30% of the profits.”
"Impossible!"
Fang Xuanling had barely finished speaking when Li Er cried out in alarm. Thirty percent of the profits might not seem like much, but if the entire Great Tang was included, it would become terrifying. At that time, countless amounts of money that should have flowed into the national treasury would end up in Li Chen's pocket.
What did this kid want? What was the use of having so much money?
Other people would break their heads to grab power, but Li Chen was the one who grabbed money instead. He didn't even look at power.
Fang Xuanling had already guessed Li Er's reaction. He only asked indifferently,""Your Majesty, is the selling price of snow salt as high as ten strings?”
