Changsun Mansion.
Li Ziye came to visit with a generous gift. As for what the gift was, Li Ziye himself didn't know, but it was just valuable.
The Li family was so poor that they only had money left.
"Master Li."
In front of the main hall, eldest grandson Fengyu and eldest grandson Nanqiao came out to greet them, their attitude was very polite.
"Your Majesty, Sister Nan Qiao."
Li Ziye saluted politely, but because he had a broken arm, he looked a little funny.
"Master Li, what's wrong with you?"
Changsun Fengyu couldn't hold it back and asked.
"It's a long story."
Li Ziye smiled awkwardly and said, "I fight with people, don't talk about it. Your Majesty, Sister Nan Qiao, I'm here to say thank you to my eldest sister."
"Master Li, let's talk inside." The eldest grandson Nanqiao said softly.
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded and immediately walked into the hall.
In the main hall.
The eldest grandson Nanqiao leaned over and poured tea for the young man in front of him. Because the two were so close, a few strands of long hair fell on Li Ziye's face, carrying a faint aroma that made people's hearts itch.
The young man was so vigorous that he could not withstand such a battle. Li Ziye blushed, and a little deer thumped in his heart.
This goblin is killing people!
The eldest grandson Nanqiao seemed to notice someone's abnormality. He smiled softly, straightened up and said, "What's wrong, Mr. Li? Are you feeling unwell?"
"do not have."
Li Ziye sat up straight and said righteously, "I've been taking too many tonics recently and I'm a little angry."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao covered his mouth and chuckled, no longer teasing the little guy in front of him.
On the side, eldest son Fengyu watched the two of them flirting with each other with a bored look on his face. He felt that staying here was superfluous.
"Master Li just returned home last night. Shouldn't he come here this morning just to say thank you?" The eldest grandson Nanqiao calmed down and asked doubtfully.
"There is indeed something I need to discuss with Sister Nan Qiao."
Li Ziye said seriously, "I wonder, can Changsun Mansion do the charcoal business?"
"Fire charcoal business?"
The eldest grandson Nanqiao looked startled, then nodded and said, "There are some, but Mr. Li should also know that there is no threshold for the charcoal business, and there are many people who can do it."
"I understand. To be honest with Sister Nan Qiao, the Li family is also in the charcoal business and has a lot of inventory."
Li Ziye picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and said, "I'm here just to talk about cooperation with the Changsun family."
"cooperate?"
Next to him, the eldest grandson Fengyu heard this and couldn't help but interjected, "Can the Li family also see this small business?"
Grandson Nanqiao also frowned and said in confusion, "Master Li, if you have anything to say, just say it clearly."
She also didn't believe that the young master of the Li family deliberately went to the Changsun Mansion just to discuss the charcoal business.
Today's Fotan business can indeed make some money, but there are too many people who can do this business, and the Li family cannot have any advantage.
"It's too cold today."
Li Ziye stretched out his hand, grilled it on the brazier nearby, and said softly, "We can all afford charcoal, but ordinary people cannot afford it. Recently, the price of charcoal has skyrocketed, both in the capital and in other places in Dashang. I think this is very bad.”
The eldest grandson Nanqiao heard the words of the young man in front of him, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said, "Master Li, do you want to lower the price of charcoal?"
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "The Li family has inventory and channels for producing charcoal, but the Li family doesn't want to offend anyone."
"So, we have to cooperate with my eldest grandson's family."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao understood and said, "In business matters, Mr. Li's actions are not what a qualified businessman should do."
“The foundation of business lies in people.”
Li Ziye said calmly, "If the people can barely survive, who will we sell our goods to? Fotan, the cost is actually not high, but because there is too much demand now, the merchants will tacitly agree to increase the price. As long as we If the prices are pushed down, those merchants will definitely lower their prices if they can't hold on."
"Master Li, why do you think my eldest grandson's family will agree to this?" the eldest grandson Nanqiao narrowed his eyes and said.
"Because Sister Nan Qiao is a kind-hearted person."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "I won't watch the people suffer and remain indifferent."
"You can talk."
When the eldest grandson Nanqiao heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his beautiful face, and continued, "Speak out specifically about how to cooperate, and I'll listen."
"Easy."
Li Ziye replied, "The Li family will supply the goods to the Changsun family at cost price. The Li family will not interfere with the rest."
"What a beautiful thought."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao rolled his eyes and said, "Your Li family doesn't interfere in anything. Everything that offends people is left to my eldest grandson's family."
"Sister Nan Qiao's words are wrong."
Li Ziye said seriously, "It is indeed offensive for the Li family to do this, but it is completely different if it is done by the eldest son's family. The empress is kind-hearted and can't bear the suffering of the people, so she uses her own stock to supplement it." Common people, I think, no one would dare to say anything. Compared with the gratitude of the common people, the grievances of those unscrupulous merchants are insignificant."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao and eldest grandson Fengyu both stared at each other after hearing what the young man in front of them said.
They didn't expect this.
"Master Li."
Soon, the eldest grandson Nanqiao came back to his senses and said seriously, "In this way, the empress and the eldest grandson's family have won the hearts of the people. Only the Li family seems to have gained nothing, and they have also used a lot of manpower and force. I don't understand. Why did the Li family do what they did?”
"The Li family, feel at ease."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Also, the Queen's favor is worth it."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao and the eldest grandson Fengyu looked at each other, and a little light flashed in their eyes.
They seemed to underestimate the Li family's magnanimity.
"The eldest grandson's family agrees to Mr. Li's conditions. I am here to express my gratitude to Mr. Li on behalf of the eldest grandson's family and the Queen for his kindness to the people of the world." The eldest grandson Nanqiao bowed his hands in a respectful salute and thanked him.
"Sister Nan Qiao, you're welcome."
Li Ziye stretched out his hand to support the woman in front of him and said softly, "This matter still needs sister Nan Qiao and my elder sister Li to discuss the detailed arrangements. I won't interfere too much. It's late and I have other things to do first." If you want to do something, take the first step."
After saying that, Li Ziye stood up, bowed politely to the two people in front of him, and prepared to leave.
"I'll send Mr. Li off."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao also stood up and saw him off in person.
"Um."
Li Ziye nodded, did not refuse, and walked out of the main hall.
On the way to the outside of the house.
The eldest grandson Nanqiao glanced at the young man beside him and asked softly, "Is there a solution to your eldest sister's matter?"
"Yes."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "This should be solved in a few days."
"That's good."
The eldest grandson Nanqiao felt relieved and said, "As for you, in the capital, there are many more people staring at Young Master Li than those staring at your eldest sister."
"I?"
Li Ziye smiled softly and said, "I will go back and make preparations. On a good and auspicious day, I will come to Changsun's house to propose marriage."
"OK."
When the eldest grandson Nanqiao heard this, he did not back down at all and said with a smile, "As long as you dare to marry, I dare to marry you."
