Xi Yuan spoke softly and exhaled like blue, which made Liu Qi unable to control himself and couldn't help but take a step forward.
Xi Yuan smiled and said: "But treasure hunting requires some preparation. Obtaining any treasure also requires a price."
"Oh?" Liu Qi looked at the beauty close at hand again, with a pair of wise and clear eyes under his long eyelashes, "The price?"
"Not bad!" Facing the man's aggressive gaze, Xi Yuan finally couldn't help but take a half step back and said slowly: "Actually, regardless of whether you and I are related by marriage, we are also willing to give away all the shops and fields for free. I will give my full support to the general to protect Jingzhou, revive the Han Dynasty, and do my best for the imperial court."
Liu Qi's eyes were slightly stern, but this time he looked very vigilant. He said calmly: "There is no free lunch in the world! The Xi family must have some agenda when they are so bankrupt, but they don't know what price this young master will have to pay?"
"Salt!" Xi Yuan looked at Liu Qi and said calmly: "We want to add an industry: transporting salt."
"How courageous!" Liu Qi's face darkened, "Do you know that salt and iron are the foundation of people's livelihood and the foundation of the country, how can it be left to the private sector?"
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took back salt and iron, it has always been under the control of the state. No one can smuggle and sell salt. Otherwise, he will be sent to the army at the least, and the whole family will be executed at the worst.
Xi Yuan dared to raise this matter in person, she was too brave!
However, Xi Yuan said: "Folk girls do not participate in selling salt, but help the government collect and transport salt at a price that is 30% to 50% lower than the market price. They only cooperate with the government and will not sell to private individuals. The price is still controlled by the government. It will not affect the people."
Liu Qi stared at Xi Yuan: "Do you have a salt mine?"
"No!" Xi Yuan said: "But my daughter has been to many salt mines and discovered a new method of making salt, which can greatly increase production. If we can collect all these salt mines and salt wells, I believe the profit can be increased by three More than times."
"This abacus is a big deal!" After hearing this, Liu Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Aren't you a wolf with nothing?"
Xi Yuan frowned slightly: "We donated all our family property to the general for the purpose of governing Jingzhou, and half of the profits from salt production belong to the court. Why did the general say this?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Although you donated all the shops and properties to the imperial court, they all need to be taken care of. Just like a restaurant changes its cook, it will no longer have the same taste. It seems that everything is handed over to the imperial court, but in fact it is still up to you. Business, but the Xi family has an additional industry of transporting salt, isn’t this a waste of money?”
Xi Yuan's chest was slightly open, she didn't expect Liu Qi to be so familiar with business. She took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise in her heart, and sighed quietly: "Mr. All dedicated to the general."
"Everything?" Liu Qi took a step forward again, and was already very close to Xi Yuan, with her bulging breasts almost touching her chest.
This time, Xi Yuan stubbornly raised her chin and remained motionless, letting Liu Qi get closer.
This is a purely natural and beautiful appearance, without any technological power. Pure white skin, delicate face, a little makeup, no imperfection.
"Are you sure you want to dedicate everything to me?"
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Liu Qi's mouth, which finally made Xi Yuan's eyes look a little panicked.
Even though she has been strong since she was a child, thinks of herself as a man, and does not want to lose to anyone, she is a virgin after all. How can she withstand Liu Qi's aggression?
Xi Yuan pretended to be calm, nodded and said: "The general is a member of the royal family, and he does not despise the beauty of my daughter Pu Liu. This is the honor of the slave family, but..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Qi's fingers had touched her smooth chin and rubbed it gently, making her tremble all over.
"I have heard a little bit about the Xi family's industry. How can I be satisfied with the mere salt industry?" Liu Qi seemed to be toying with a rare treasure and said with emotion: "Since it is a cornucopia, we should plunder all the treasures in the world."
"Master, you...please respect yourself!" Xi Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, took two steps back and fell on the seat.
"Have you ever thought about doing business outside Jingzhou, in the Central Plains, and all over the world? The silk and porcelain of the Central Plains, the spices of Kushan, the ivory of South Vietnam, etc., and even the business route goes as far as the Western Regions and sets foot overseas. That's what I want, sir. Things to do.”
Looking at Liu Qi's condescending gaze, Xi Yuan was stunned as she sat cross-legged, her expression as cute as a little lolita.
After a while, her eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Seriously?"
Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "The situation has finally opened up. What I want is your ambition."
Suppressing her inner excitement, Xi Yuan knelt down and sat up: "My dear daughter, I will obey the general's orders."
Liu Qi looked at Xi Yuan, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Beautiful woman, I want to compete. In this world, I also want to compete. In the future, you will be in charge of all the wealth in the world. Only then will you be worthy of your name." treasure bowl!"
Xi Yuan looked up and her heart trembled when she saw Liu Qi's sudden pride.
This is the current lord of Jingzhou, who defeated the arrogant traitor Cao Cao. He is calm and confident but has an incomprehensible vision and mind.
He will be my man!
Xi Yuan suddenly came up with this idea and her heart beat wildly.
She unconsciously reached out her hand and let Liu Qi pull her up, her breathing quickening.
Feeling the delicate beauty exhaling like blue, Liu Qi reluctantly let go.
After all, this is his fiancée, and being too frivolous would seem dirty and vulgar.
A gentleman starts with emotion but ends with etiquette. There is only a layer of window paper left, and it will not be too late to pierce it in the future.
Seeing Liu Qi take the initiative to sit down, Xi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously and couldn't help but ask: "Jingzhou is surrounded by powerful enemies and the general is busy with military affairs. How can he run a business?"
"War is just a struggle for resources and financial strength!" Liu Qi sighed with emotion, and said slowly: "Without money, food and weapons, everything is just talk. Although I have summoned civil and military heroes to fight against Cao's thieves, the management team is short of manpower. The lady appears. If it’s just right, maybe it’s all God’s will!”
Xi Yuan stared at Liu Qi, bowed Yingying and said: "As long as the general is willing to appoint him, my little girl will be shattered into pieces, and she will definitely repay her."
"That's not necessary!" Liu Qi looked at Xi Yuan, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and said with a smile: "You and I can be regarded as husband and wife, right?"
"Young master... I'm... not yours yet!" Xi Yuan bit her red lips and lowered her head.
This annoying little goblin!
Liu Qi cursed in his heart. Even though Xi Yuan was a shrewd businessman, she was also a smart woman. She actually knew how to resist and welcome, which made people itchy.
"Let's not talk about the distance for now. First, empty the wallets of all the wealthy families in Jingzhou. Do you dare to give it a try?"
"Okay!" Xi Yuan raised her head again, her eyes full of shrewdness, and asked, "I wonder what the master's plan is?"
Liu Qi patted the table in front of him and said slowly: "Let's start with this furniture reform!"
