Even though Cui Ziqing and the other seven were all from aristocratic families, they were also shocked. It was actually so much money. Adding on Li You's commission, they would have to pay 168 million strings of money at once.
"Cough cough, wangye, this bastard son is too big, can you pay in installments?”Cui Ziqing probed.
"Of course, is this king such a difficult person to talk to?”Li You looked as if he thought he was a bad person. He smiled and said,"How about this, we can sign a contract first. The first batch will be 800,000 catties, and the remaining 1,200,000 catties will be shipped four times. The price will remain the same.”
"That's great." Cui Ziqing and the others were extremely happy. This was the best time since they met Li You.
"Yes, of course." Li You smiled and said," In addition to the one million yuan of hard work, you have to give me the eight million strings of commission tomorrow. As for the payment, you have to pay in batches. This way, your funds will not be cut off, and the pressure will be reduced. By then, you can pay for the money you earned from selling the refined salt in the meantime. What do you think?"
This is great. Li You, that scoundrel, has been scamming us from the beginning. Will he really treat us so well?
Everyone looked at Li You suspiciously.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at? This king is still a very kind person.”Li You explained unhappily," Now that we share the same interests, you earn more, and I get more kickbacks. Why not?"”
Cui Ziqing and the others nodded. That was right. Who would be unhappy with money?
"Okay, alright." Li You was also full. He stood up and said with a smile,"After the first payment, you can transport the 800,000 catties of refined salt, but we don't care about the transportation.”
"Your Highness, what are you saying? Is there a need to trouble the Imperial Court with such a small matter? We can handle it ourselves.”Cui Ziqing said confidently.
After Li You brought the three of them back to the Qi Mansion, Cheng Zhijie, Ma Zhou, and Wei Ting were still confused.
"Hmm, not really." "At least Cui Ziqing and the others haven't sent the money over yet."”
Cheng Zhijie, Wei Ting, and Ma Zhou all looked at Li You, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. You're so good at acting tough. We can't refute your words.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Cui Ziqing and the others wouldn't dare to lie to you. Old Cheng can guarantee that you've earned these nine million strings of strings.”Cheng Zhijie smiled and said," To be honest, Old Cheng really admires you, Your Highness. You've only delayed the seven great clans for a few days, and you've actually earned nine million strings for nothing. You're really amazing. Those useless guys from the Ministry of Revenue should let you be the manager."”
"General Cheng's words are crude but not unreasonable. This lowly official has experienced your highness 'abilities.”Ma Zhou smiled bitterly." I originally thought that it would be good if I could earn four or five million strings of salt from these two million piculs. Who knew that you would suddenly give me nine million strings of salt? Moreover, it's only a kickback. I haven't even paid for the goods yet."”
"Your Highness's divine skill, this old master also admires it very much.”Wei Ting also said with a smug expression. No matter what, Li You was his future son-in-law, and he would feel proud if others praised him.
"The three of you are too polite. This time, it's because everyone cooperated well and contributed. We'll bring the money to Imperial Father tomorrow and report to him. At that time, everyone will share the credit.”Li You said with a smile, very satisfied.
On the way back just now, Li You had already checked that the reward for the White Robe Army's training method had already been transferred to his account.
Compared to the money, the system reward was what made Li You happy.
Thinking about how he led an invincible army, wouldn't that be awesome?
While the four of them were chatting happily, Zhangsun Wuji and his son Zhangsun Chong were frowning in the Duke of Qi's mansion.
"Are you sure about this?" Zhangsun Wuji asked with a serious expression.
"Father, don't worry. I've been gathering information these past few days.”Zhangsun Chong sneered." Li You, that kid, didn't do his job properly at all. All he did was bring Cui Ziqing and the others to drink and have fun. He doesn't know what to do."”
Zhangsun Wuji nodded. If it was true, then he would have to read Li You's book tomorrow.
This bastard King Qi had actually caused his two nephews to be punished, and the most infuriating thing was that he had caused his own sister, Empress Zhangsun, to be scolded by Li Shiming.
This was not a small matter. If Empress Zhangsun were to fall out of favor, the impact on the Zhangsun Clan would be huge. He would definitely not allow this to happen.
Now, it seemed that if he wanted to keep Empress Zhangsun's position, he still had to make a move on Li You.
As long as Li You was no longer favored, there would not be so many things.
If he continued to let Li You be favored, then Li Shimin would slowly take a fancy to Consort Yin.
Now that the Retired Emperor and the Emperor had forgotten about the past, and even the hatred of the Yin Family, it was not impossible for Concubine Yin to become the new Empress once she gained power.
This kind of thing must not happen. He had to deal with Li You as soon as possible.
"Alright, in that case, don't blame me for being ruthless.”Zhangsun Wuji sneered." Chong-er, send someone to deliver a letter to the Imperial Censors. Tell them to charge Li You with dereliction of duty tomorrow morning. I want to see how Li You will enter the Imperial Court after this!"”
"Yes, Father." Zhangsun Chong obeyed and left.
The next morning, Li You, Cheng Zhijie, Wei Ting, and Ma Zhou had just arrived when they saw several censors looking at them with unfriendly eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Shi Min sat down, these guys started their performance.
