In Zhu Di's opinion, how could these two boys have the ability to make money?
Aren’t they all hanging out with Li Xiao?
Didn't Li Xiao also share the accounts with you just for the sake of my king's face?
Otherwise, if they have made so much money, why should they share it with you?
Therefore, this money should still belong to me!
Li Xiao worked hard to earn the money himself, so Zhu Di was naturally embarrassed to speak. Besides, Li Xiao was his son-in-law, so how could his father-in-law ask his son-in-law for money?
"Ah this."
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui didn't know what to do.
I can't bear to part with it. I can't bear to just hand over the money I got!
At this time, Xu Miaoyun stood up and explained: "Gao Xu, Gao Sui, just lend the money to your father. The family is really short of money.
During this period, the Holy Emperor asked vassal kings from various places to take the lead in converting silver into treasure banknotes and promoting treasure banknotes.
But the price of Baobao banknotes is unstable and has been declining. It has fallen by more than half in just two months.
Your father changed the treasure coins into silver again, and lost more than half of the money here and there. The palace's accounts were in deficit and it couldn't run smoothly. "
No wonder Zhu Di reached out for money.
It turns out that there are also difficulties.
The palace is equivalent to a small court, with a number of officials to support.
The amount of money spent on up-and-down management and maintaining relationships is also a huge expense. Without money, it really cannot function.
"Dad, this is a vote of 160,000 taels."
Seeing that their mother and concubine had said so, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to take out their money, otherwise they would not be sons of human beings.
"Why are you squeezing so tightly?"
Zhu Di reached out to get the banknote and found that Zhu Gaoxu was pinching it tightly. "Dad, leave some for me. I also want to invest in my brother-in-law's textile workshop."
Zhu Di glared at him, "Let go!!"
Zhu Gaoxu then gave up and watched helplessly as his money was "borrowed".
Zhu Gaosui was very conscious. Knowing the outcome, he handed it directly to Zhu Di.
Then, Zhu Di looked at Li Xiao, his face turned gloomy, and he smiled gently: "Li Xiao, you want to open a textile workshop?"
Li Xiao nodded, "Yes, Your Highness King Yan."
Zhu Ningyun smiled and said: "Father, it was the daughter who robbed those poor women and found it difficult to settle down. Li Xiao then proposed to let them become weaver girls and give them a job. This time there was raw silk again, and both people and raw materials were available. , just enough to open a textile workshop."
"Well, not bad, not bad."
Zhu Di nodded with a smile, took out 50,000 taels of conference tickets, and handed them to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, what percentage of the shares can these 50,000 taels account for?"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned. Father, you don’t play like this.
You are openly robbing, you are robbing openly, I am going to sue you for robbery!
Li Xiao took the bank note, smiled slightly, handed it to Zhu Ningyun, and said, "It's all up to Ningyun."
It's not easy for him to answer this question.
If you talk too much, you will suffer a loss.
King Yan was dissatisfied because he said less.
It's just right to let King Yan's own daughter answer this question.
Moreover, this move also reflects his deep feelings for Ningyun.
Zhu Di looked at Ningyun with a smile and said happily: "Daughter, Li Xiao is really obedient to your words. Then you can tell your father how many shares you should take."
Zhu Di thought to himself that his daughter would never treat him badly.
Zhu Ningyun thought for a while and said: "Father, you can take 10%. With Li Xiao's method of making money, 10% will definitely not lose money."
Zhu Di: "."
Sure enough, it was a female college student, Buzhongliu, whose elbows were already turned outward.
Why is it only 10%?
Li Xiao was also stunned. Ningyun, this little girl, is she thinking of me so much?
This is because you don’t want me to suffer a loss.
He hurriedly walked over and said: "Ningyun, 10% is a little less, please add some more, that's our father."
Hearing these words, Zhu Di felt warm in his heart. His son-in-law was sensible.
"Then just listen to Xiaolang."
Zhu Ningyun nodded and said: "Father, then you can take 20%."
Zhu Di: "."
Seeing the subtle look on Zhu Di's face, Li Xiao said again: "Ningyun, please add more. Li Xiao has no parents. From now on we are a family, so we should honor our parents."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di felt a little warmer in his heart.
My son-in-law is still sensible!
Zhu Ningyun smiled and said: "Then 30%."
"Okay, just 30%."
Zhu Di was finally a little satisfied and agreed.
In fact, this is also Li Xiao's psychological price.
But after such operations, King Yan was much more satisfied.
The whole family was satisfied, but Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were not satisfied and had a sad face.
Immediately afterwards,
The servants also prepared a banquet.
Everyone went to the wine table, changing glasses, and it was very lively.
Zhu Ningyun was also very active at the wine table, no longer dull as before.
During the meal, Xu Miaoyun spoke up and announced what had been discussed in private with Zhu Di.
"Li Xiao, there is still October, and you and Ningyun will have a big wedding. While you are away from Peking, I have moved in the furniture from the dowry and decorated the mansion. You can go and see it together tomorrow. , if you are not satisfied with anything, you can rearrange it.”
Hearing this, Li Xiao felt warm in his heart.
This mother-in-law was so kind to him. She had arranged a love nest for him and Ningyun during his absence.
"Thank you, Prince and Princess. Li Xiao would like to have a drink with you two."
Li Xiao picked up the wine glass and toasted a glass of wine cordially.
During the trip south, Li Xiao had nothing to do on the boat, so he drank with everyone. He also developed his drinking capacity, and he would never fall unconscious after drinking like before.
"As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. Li Xiao, if you and Ningyun live a good life, I will definitely treat you as my son."
During the toast, Zhu Di looked at Li Xiao and said.
In Zhu Di's heart, the children he valued most were Gao Chi, Gao Xu, Gao Sui and Ningyun, who were born to Xu Miaoyun.
This is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang. What Zhu Yuanzhang valued most was the sons that Empress Ma had with him, especially the eldest son Zhu Biao, whom he loved very much.
And now, Zhu Di has another son.
This was also Zhu Di's innermost thoughts. This son saved his life.
Now Ningyun has regained his temperament before the disaster, all thanks to Li Xiao.
In Zhu Di's heart, he already regarded Li Xiao as his half-son.
The human heart is made of flesh.
When Li Xiao heard this, he felt extremely warm in his heart. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Although the wedding ceremony has not yet been held, Li Xiao is bold enough to change his words in advance, dad! I dedicate this glass to you, son-in-law!"
It has always been difficult for Li Xiao to change his tune.
Now that the atmosphere has reached this point, I mentioned this matter.
Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and others have long called themselves brother-in-law.
If your family doesn't see outsiders, how can you see outsiders?
Zhu Di was not surprised at all, but was very happy, "Okay! I have another good son."
Clink glasses and drink!
Just as Xu Miaoyun was about to speak, Li Xiao picked up the wine glass again and said, "Dare to call me mother, mother. Ningyun and I will honor you from now on."
Xu Miaoyun smiled again and again, picked up the wine glass and said, "With your words, the prince and I can safely leave Ningyun to you in the future."
Clink glasses again and drink.
"Very good!"
Zhu Gaochi picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, come, celebrate this touching scene. From now on, everyone sitting here will be a family, harmonious, harmonious and warm. Come, have a drink together! I wish our Prince Yan's Mansion will get better and better!" "
Everyone picked up their wine glasses.
Zhu Gaoxu felt the same way, picked up the wine glass and said:
"What the elder brother said is absolutely true. I had some conflicts with him before, but after I went south with Li Xiao, I understood a lot of truths. Everything in this world can change, but only family ties remain unchanged! I would like to say this to my elder brother by the way about this wine. Sorry, we will live in harmony from now on, as a family!"
Zhu Di was overjoyed: "Okay, family, cheers!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
Everyone picked up their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
At this moment, the wine table is full of family affection, without any other things mixed in.
Li Xiao unintentionally made the family more harmonious.
That night, everyone got very drunk.
The next day, early morning.
Li Xiao opened his eyes and recalled what happened last night.
"It seemed like I was a little drunk last night."
Just thinking about it made me sweat on my forehead.
I was so drunk yesterday that at the wine table, I changed my name to my father-in-law, Zhu Di, and called my mother-in-law, Xu Miaoyun, mother.
The problem is, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun both agreed.
After drinking too much, he seemed to be singing while holding Zhu Di's shoulders?
I remember it, I remember it! !
Li Xiao suddenly remembered that this was indeed the case.
When Zhu Gaoxu mentioned how he met Lan Nao'er, Zhu Gaoxu said that his brother-in-law's singing was so beautiful that they started fighting.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di immediately asked Li Xiao to sing that song.
Then, he did drink too much, and sang the song "A Thousand Years of Waiting" with a red face!
Then everyone thought it sounded good and applauded themselves.
Ah this
"It seems that my status in the hearts of my mother-in-law and father-in-law is already very high."
In Li Xiao's heart, he could only comfort himself in this way.
After getting up, Li Xiao opened the system panel again and looked at Today's Shopping Mall.
If nothing good comes out, just clear it out.
Afterwards, Li Xiao washed up, arrived at Yong'an Pavilion, and went to Niwai with Ningyun again.
"Love you."
"Love you."
When the two meet, they first brush up on their lifespan and relationship level.
Just as Zhu Ningyun said in his heart, Li Xiao did not dare to slack off.
If he stops talking one day, his wife will doubt herself.
When love becomes the norm, start normalizing it!
Li Xiao went to the kitchen and made a hot dry noodles for Zhu Ningyun using the sesame paste obtained through the system.
The sesame smells so good——
Not long after.
Zhu Di also got up and followed Xu Miaoyun to Yong'an Pavilion and found the two of them.
"Princess, I'm telling you, don't bother, you can find the two of you here."
Zhu Di smiled proudly when he saw the two of them having breakfast in Yong'an Pavilion.
"I've met my father and my mother's concubine."
Zhu Ningyun's face turned slightly red and she led Li Xiao to salute.
"I've met my father and my mother's concubine."
Li Xiao also bowed.
Zhu Di and the other two smiled and nodded, obviously having accepted the change of address.
"What are you eating?"
Zhu Di walked towards the table. When he saw the fragrant noodles, his appetite was whetted and he said, "Li Xiao, I heard that you won the Eight Great Shovels of Famous Chefs in the World in Yangzhou?"
Li Xiao said modestly: "It happens, it happens."
Zhu Di stared at the noodles on the table.
"Father, mother and concubine haven't had breakfast yet?"
Li Xiao immediately walked towards the kitchen, "I'm going to get two copies now, wait a moment."
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.
This son-in-law has a keen eye.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun sat at the table and chatted with Zhu Ningyun.
We chatted back and forth, always talking about Li Xiao.
"Here you go——"
Soon, Li Xiao came over with hot dry noodles.
This exclusive recipe of hot dry noodles is absolutely authentic and delicious.
Zhu Di took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Hey, it tastes good. This is my first time trying this pasta. Did you invent it?"
Li Xiao nodded: "Exclusively original."
"You boy"
Zhu Di laughed and then started eating noodles.
He wolfed down his meal and finished the entire bowl of noodles in a short time.
After eating, Zhu Di looked at Li Xiao and said, "Li Xiao, your talent is indeed great. What are your plans next?"
What do you plan to do?
Hearing this, Li Xiao was slightly startled, not knowing what it meant.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Live a good life with Ningyun and enjoy life?"
Zhu Di shook his head, and then said seriously:
"You have to live your life, but you can't just sit around and do nothing all day long."
"A man doesn't say he has ambitions in all directions, but he must achieve something, do something, and do something."
"Since you have entered Prince Yan's Mansion, you must do something to prove yourself."
"Although we don't have any thoughts about you, we are afraid that outsiders will gossip about you."
Zhu Di said this.
In his opinion, Li Xiao is indeed capable.
But those skills in doing business and making inventions are quite good, but they cannot be put on the table.
In the eyes of contemporary people, only by being an official and holding power can one be called a "person".
In fact, what Zhu Di cares about most are the theories that Li Xiao accidentally mentioned.
Such as theories about economics and governance.
Therefore, Zhu Di hoped that Li Xiao would enter politics and become a parent official.
Practice the feasibility of those theories.
In addition, it can also be regarded as training Li Xiao's ability and allowing him to display his abilities.
Li Xiao thought for a while and said, "Then can I go into business?"
"In business?"
Zhu Di frowned and said: "No, how can I, the son-in-law of King Yan, go into business? Those inventions of yours can be run by subordinates. You should also recruit subordinates, right? For example, that Li Xiongzhi, you can let him run it, but people are indeed If it’s less, you can hire more people to operate it.”
Li Xiao nodded, thinking that indeed in ancient times, businessmen had little status.
Even in the eyes of the royal family, engaging in business is just a means of making money, and they look down on the business industry.
"Then what should I do?"
Li Xiao was a little confused. If he couldn't do business, wouldn't he just have to eat and wait to die?
"Be an official and engage in politics." Zhu Di said.
"Politics?"
Li Xiao was slightly startled, "Can the prince's son-in-law enter politics?"
Zhu Di laughed, "Of course ordinary princes can't do it, but you can. I have already submitted a memorial to my eldest brother, and it has been approved. He is the magistrate of Dong'an County. Originally, the magistrate of Dong'an County was forced into prison, and the position is vacant. You Nan I've been here for two months and the position has been vacant. After you get married, you can take up the post."
"ah???"
Li Xiao was stunned. His father-in-law had paved his own path.
"Why, do you think the county is too small?" Zhu Di asked.
Li Xiao quickly waved his hand, "Not too small, not too small."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "The county magistrate is indeed a minor official, but as a county official, he has great power. You can go ahead with confidence. When you have achieved political achievements, I will naturally find ways to promote you. Originally, I wanted to You went to the battlefield with me and won the title for your merits in battle. Unfortunately, the princess felt sorry for you and didn't want you to go to the battlefield, so she could only serve as a civil servant. But don't worry, work hard, and I will help you get the title."
Zhu Diliang worked hard to help Li Xiao obtain the title.
If the title can be hereditary, ancient people have the traditional idea of passing on the family line and passing on the incense.
Only when a family has a title can it prosper and be better able to pass on to future generations.
Ordinary people, for several generations or more than ten generations, may die if something happens to them.
Li Xiao nodded slightly, almost understanding the truth.
In fact, in later generations, even ordinary people, their ancestors were either officials or had titles. After several rounds of wars, most of the ordinary people died.
Zhu Ningyun stood aside and looked at Li Xiao and said: "Xiaolang, don't worry, I will assist you well."
This concept is deeply rooted in people's hearts, even among women.
Zhu Ningyun naturally hopes that if his family can have a title, the Li family will have a better future.
Li Xiao nodded: "Then I'll give it a try, but if I become an official, can I have my own ideas? Because the current governance philosophy is too different from mine."
The words fell.
Everyone was shocked.
As expected of Li Xiao, worthy of you.
You, Li Xiao, are the only ones who dare to question the imperial government's governance policies before taking office!
Zhu Di had secretly learned about Li Xiao's various theories, and his purpose was to get Li Xiao to implement those theories.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Haha, what's the point? Let's not talk about other places. You are an official in my vassal, and you can do whatever you want! With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Li Xiao nodded: "Then give it a try."
That's it.
Li Xiao became the county magistrate inexplicably.
Of course, he has to wait until the wedding event before taking office.
Nothing is as big as the princess' wedding.
"Let's go and take you to see your mansion. During this time, you can move your things there first."
After eating, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun took Li Xiao and his wife to see the new house.
The new house is indeed the mansion next door on the main road.
This mansion is very grand and was originally reserved for Zhu Gaoxu.
But later, Li Xiao appeared, and the master said that Li Xiao was blessed to the heavens.
So Zhu Di changed his mind and gave Zhu Gaoxu's mansion to Zhu Ningyun, letting his son-in-law be by his side so that Prince Yan's mansion could benefit from the blessings.
"Ningyun, you've been away from home for the past two months. My mother-in-law has made the decision. All the furniture in your dowry has been moved in to avoid trouble later."
Xu Miaoyun said.
"Thank you, concubine."
Zhu Ningyun held her mother's hand and said affectionately.
Arriving in front of the mansion, Li Xiao felt happy.
It's really big. Although it's not as grand as Prince Yan's Mansion, it's almost one-fifth of the area, more than two hundred acres!
What concept?
Two hundred acres is a full 130,000 square meters.
This mansion is comparable to the area of an entire high-end villa area in future generations.
This is your own house!
Li Xiao looked up and saw that a brand new gold-lettered plaque had been hung on the mansion, with the three characters "Princess's Mansion" written on it.
Seeing Li Xiao's gaze lingering, Zhu Ningyun immediately waved.
"Someone, please take down the signboard of Princess's Mansion and replace it with Li's Mansion."
Ah this
The servant came over and wondered what to do.
Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun slightly held their foreheads.
Well, it turns out that women are not allowed to stay in college, this daughter.
The servants all looked at Zhu Di, waiting to speak.
Zhu Di could only nod his head, waved his hand and said, "Just do as the princess said."
that's all.
The Princess's Mansion was replaced by Li's Mansion.
Li Xiao looked at his daughter-in-law Ningyun and was stunned.
This wife is so nice!
