A rough calculation showed that including the land, the deposit received by Ji Lie was at least 600,000 yuan!
This is a huge amount of money!
You know, the financial revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty, in terms of currency alone, is only a few million taels of silver every year!
With this deposit, Ji Lie no longer has to worry about money and can develop better!
After the two parties reached a deal, Ji Lie pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I always only pay attention to three things when doing things, fairness, fairness, or fucking fairness!"
"As long as you sincerely cooperate with Gu, Gu will naturally not treat you badly in the future."
"But if there are two minds, Yu Yan will be his fate!"
"Do you guys understand?!"
After taking a look at Yu Yan, who was still looking dead, everyone's hearts trembled, and they said in unison,
"Swear loyalty to the prince to the death!"
"very good!"
Ji Lie smiled slightly, waved his hand and said,
"Everyone, please leave now. Remember to pay the deposit in full before tomorrow!"
"Here!"
Everyone stood up and left.
After everyone else left, only Ji Lie and Zhao Meiniang were left in the room.
"Your Majesty is really good at it, I admire you very much."
Zhao Meiniang's watery eyes were full of admiration for Ji Lie.
During today's discussion, she originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince the nobles and merchants.
But he didn't expect Ji Lie to deal with these people in just a few words, and even asked them to hand over hundreds of thousands of taels of deposits to come over.
Zhao Meiniang was really amazed by the clever means!
"Don't do six basic things, don't do six basic things."
Before Zhao Meiniang understood what Ji Cao Wu Liu meant, Ji Lie smiled and said,
"I'm just sharing Zuixianjiang's business with outsiders. Mrs. Zhao won't be angry, right?"
"Your Majesty's words are serious, how can I be angry? Besides, this will be of great benefit to our cooperation."
Zhao Meiniang shook her head and said sincerely.
She knew very well that if Ji Lie hadn't come forward and used the benefits of Zuixian Brewing to win over these people.
I'm afraid that today's matter will not be so easy to solve.
When the time comes, the only thing waiting for Zhao's Trading Company is destruction.
Moreover, Zhao's Trading Company is only responsible for wine making, not brewing. At first glance, profits seem to be thinning.
But this is not the case.
In this way, Zhao's Trading Company can concentrate on production.
There is no need to worry about transportation or sales.
Although profits have become thinner, costs have become smaller and risks have also been reduced.
Overall, the pros outweigh the cons!
"Mrs. Zhao can understand Gu, and Gu is very pleased."
"But Madam, you can rest assured. In recent days, I have been researching and inventing new things."
"After it is successful, it can also be handed over to Zhao's Trading Company to operate."
Ji Lie smiled.
"Oh? May I ask, Your Majesty, what is this new thing?"
Zhao Meiniang said curiously.
She had to tell her about this matter sooner or later. Ji Lie had no intention of hiding it and spoke openly and honestly.
"This thing is called perfume. After it is sprayed on the body, it can carry all kinds of strange fragrances."
From the beginning, Zhao Meiniang strongly supported Ji Lie, providing both money and effort.
Since Zuixianjiang's profits have become thinner, Zhao's Trading Company should make up for it from other places.
So he came up with the idea of inventing perfume.
The ingredients of perfume are actually very simple, nothing more than spices and alcohol.
Now Ji Lie has mastered the technology of brewing liquor. With a little research, he will be able to successfully develop it in a short time.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to the prince's new invention."
Just from the Zui Xian Brewing, abacus and other items, we can see that Ji Lie is unique and a skilled craftsman.
This so-called perfume is naturally not that bad.
"It's getting late, Mrs. Zhao, it's time for us to leave."
"Your Majesty, you can call me Mei Niang from now on, and always call me Madam. It seems a bit strange."
Zhao Meiniang suddenly whispered.
Ji Lie was slightly surprised, then smiled and said,
"Okay, Mei Niang!"
From what you said, could it be that you have thoughts about me?
Hey, my damn charm has nowhere to put it!
Most women in this world are conservative, and Zhao Meiniang's behavior is already shocking.
Like her, she is a married woman and allows other men to call her "Mei Niang".
If outsiders knew about it, they would secretly scold her for being unruly and frivolous!
But for some reason, Zhao Meiniang had the impulse to act like this.
Could it be that... I really fell in love with the prince?
Mei Niang, you can’t think nonsense!
He is a prince, of the emperor's blood, and you are just a ruined businessman's daughter!
Zhao Meiniang pretended to be calm and followed Ji Lie outside.
But her heart was already bumping around like a deer, and even her face was a little hot.
…
Gongsun Mansion.
"Father is really smart. Let's see how Ji Lie responds with these two moves!"
Gongsun Qing smiled proudly.
As long as Ji Lie's source of money is cut off, how can he afford to raise hundreds of elite soldiers with his little wealth?
At that time, the Gongsun family will recruit a new group of private soldiers, and they can still kill Ji Lie!
"Youzhou City has spent so much money on my father and raised so many people for so many years, isn't it just for today?"
Gongsunhe pretended to be reserved, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly,
"Qing'er, remember, Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, Jianghu is about human relations..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Liu Youxin walking into the lobby in a hurry.
"I've met the Prime Minister, I've met the Young Master!"
Being interrupted halfway through pretending is like peeing halfway and forcing it back.
Gongsunhe was very unhappy.
But Liu Youxin came over and behaved quite cleverly. He will still be relied on to control Zhao's trading company in the future.
Gongsunhe snorted coldly,
"Why are you here? Is everything done with the Zhao family?"
"Reporting to Guocheng, there was something wrong... Prince You suddenly left."
Liu Youxin said cautiously.
"What? How did he go to Zhao's house?"
Gongsunhe sat up straight and asked with a frown.
"Even the villain doesn't know."
Liu Youxin told everything that happened in the Zhao family, as well as Ji Lie taking Zhao Meiniang to the banquet.
After hearing this, Gongsun Qing said nervously,
"Dad, what...what should I do?"
"Why are you panicking?"
Gongsunhe glared at him and then sneered,
"I didn't expect that King You would stand up for Zhao's Trading Company. It seems that we made the right move."
"But even if he comes forward, what will happen?"
"With Yu Changshi and Yang Duwei present, can King You be able to overturn the world?"
After hearing what he said, Gongsun Qing and Liu Youxin settled down a little.
However, at this moment, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by two figures flashing in.
"I've met Guocheng!"
It was Chang Shi Yujing and Captain Yang Zhen.
Seeing the two of them arriving, Gongsun He felt bad and asked quickly,
"Why did you two come back so early? What did you talk about in the discussion just now?"
