Li Hongbi was very reluctant.
He even excused himself from getting out of bed.
After all, he really had back pain, and he really didn't want to see Zhu Di.
However, the eunuch who came from the palace seemed to have been prepared. He smiled and blocked all Li Hongbi's excuses.
"Don't worry, young master, we have enough manpower. Even if we have to carry him today, we must carry him into the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Li Hongbi knew that he couldn't escape.
In desperation, he could only crawl up and follow the eunuch on the road of no return.
Speaking of which, this is the second time Li Hongbi has entered the palace.
It was just the first time that Mei Yin and Li Jinglong were the two main players, so Li Hongbi didn't feel any pressure.
But it was different now. Zhu Di asked to see him by name alone, and the pressure immediately... went to his stomach.
After entering the main hall, Li Hongbi knelt down on the ground obediently, kowtowed and saluted.
Since he didn't understand the etiquette of monarchs and ministers last time and made a fool of himself in front of the emperor, Li Jinglong specially arranged for someone to make up for him after returning home.
I just didn't expect to use it so quickly.
After Li Hongbi finished his salute, he knelt on the ground and looked around.
Zhu Di remained silent, immersed in reviewing the memorial, as if he had not heard it.
Empress Xu was on the side, looking at Li Hongbi curiously.
As a result, Li Hongbi was not happy. You asked me to come, but now you don't say anything. What kind of power do you want to show off? Is that interesting?
This dude is very busy, okay? I don't have time to play riddles with you here.
"Ahem, Your Majesty, um... if nothing happens to you, then I will resign!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongbi stood up and ran away.
Zhu Di suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Hongbi's back in shock.
Seeing that Li Hongbi was about to walk out of the door, Zhu Di shouted angrily.
"Li Hongbi, you bastard, stop right here!"
"Did I let you go?"
Hearing this, Li Hongbi stopped and knelt back helplessly.
Seeing his helpless and depressed look, Queen Xu laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears.
This Li Hongbi is really interesting.
She really didn't expect that there were such brave people in this world!
The emperor asked you to come, and you came honestly. Then the emperor didn't say anything, so you just wanted to run away?
Why do you think being the emperor is just a decoration? Can't you show some symbolic respect?
Zhu Di's face was gloomy, and his sharp eyes were fixed on Li Hongbi.
Li Hongbi was too scared to raise his head and kept his head hanging.
Seeing that Zhu Di still didn't speak, Li Hongbi became impatient again.
Doesn’t it hurt to kneel on this ground? Why don’t you come over and kneel and try it?
"Your Majesty, my waist was seriously injured and it has not recovered yet. Can I stand still?"
Li Hongbi licked his face and spoke, and Queen Xu laughed out loud when she heard this.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Di was also a little bit dumbfounded, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated.
"Okay, okay, just stand!"
This bastard is so incredibly thick-skinned!
Upon hearing this, Li Hongbi stood up immediately and stood there respectfully.
In fact, he deliberately made a joke like this just to test Zhu Di's attitude.
Because Li Hongbi was a little unsure as to why Zhu Di called him into the palace today.
There is a time difference problem here.
As soon as Princess Ningguo left the palace, the eunuch immediately left the palace as well.
So Li Hongbi didn't know that Zhu Di had already signed the cooperation contract and invested in the business.
He thought that the affairs of the Tie family sisters were exposed, so Zhu Di called him to come and prepare to deal with him.
Fortunately, after testing, it was concluded that Zhu Di was in a good mood, so it was not the latter.
Zhu Di did not continue to hide it, and directly took out the business plan.
"Hongbi, did you write this?"
The eunuch forwarded the business plan to Li Hongbi.
As soon as he saw this thing, Li Hongbi immediately understood it and felt confident in his heart.
"Your Majesty is wise, this is indeed the work of a humble minister, but it is just to kill time in your spare time."
After confirming this, Zhu Di's face became slightly better.
"Let me ask you a question. According to the layout of this plan, can the business of facial cream really make an annual income of one million taels of silver?"
That’s right, making a million a year!
This is what really impressed Zhu Di!
This is also the real reason why Zhu Di urgently summoned Li Hongbi to the palace!
Making millions a year, what is the concept?
The average annual silver income of the Ming Dynasty was only three million taels of silver!
Of course, this is just pure silver income. If you add in the food payment, the overall conversion is about 20 million taels of silver.
But the key point is that that is the income of the entire Ming Dynasty court!
The profit from a mere facial cream can almost equal one-third of the imperial court’s silver income. It’s strange that Zhu Di is not interested!
Li Hongbi did not answer hastily when he heard this, but raised his head and looked around.
"Your Majesty, my waist was seriously injured and it has not recovered yet... Can you sit down?"
Zhu Di put his hand on his forehead helplessly, but Queen Xu had already covered her mouth to suppress laughter.
"Sit down, sit down, someone will get this bastard a brocade stool..."
"Your Majesty, I would like to sit on a chair to help recover from my injuries!"
Zhu Di: "(σ;*Д*)σ is the death penalty!"
Emperor Yongle was so angry that his face flushed red, and he was so anxious that he was dragged out and killed with a cane.
In the end, he compromised. After all, big things were important and he couldn't afford to lose the big for the small.
Well, don't be angry, don't be angry, I am the emperor and I have to think about the overall situation.
Li Hongbi sat down on the chair, restrained his frivolity, and spoke seriously.
"Your Majesty, as long as you follow my plan, making a million a year is no longer a dream!"
"The advantage of the beauty cream is that it has very obvious effects and has a large number of regular repeat customers."
"Returning customer group?" Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, "What does this mean?"
"To put it simply, after the lady bought the beauty cream and used it, she felt that the effect was very good, so she will keep buying and using it, and they will become long-term and stable customers of the beauty cream, and they will invest at least every quarter. It costs thousands of taels of silver!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up.
A noble lady, a quarter, at least a thousand taels!
How many rich ladies are there in the world?
Zhu Di suddenly became excited!
Queen Xu could not hide her shock, her eyes were shining.
This Tian family couple is now very down-to-earth, with impatient worldly expressions on their faces.
There is no way, they are too short of money!
A rich emperor and an emperor without money are two different concepts.
If the emperor is rich, even if he spends money on it, he can create a peaceful and prosperous age. Isn't it just to develop people's livelihood? Isn't it just to go out to fight? I have money to do whatever I want!
As long as there is enough money and food, Zhu Di is confident to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty!
But the problem right now is that he has no money, and the treasury also has no money!
Zhu Di is still thinking about martial arts, but he can't do anything without money or food!
Therefore, making money is now Zhu Di's top priority!
"Hongbi, I read this plan and I think it's very good!"
"Please tell me carefully what to do next. Let's come up with a charter as soon as possible and then open up the local market!"
Hearing this, Li Hongbi immediately laughed, smiling very happily.
Community of interests, this step can be considered a solid step!
