Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's stubbornness, Li Jin also became a little annoyed and said angrily:
"Corrupt officials, corrupt officials!"
"Old man, you are always trying to catch corrupt officials. I would like to ask you, how are the lives of the people in Shanghu County?"
"Can they have enough food and clothing? Can they live a prosperous life?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless with this barrage of questions and didn't know how to answer.
Empress Ma saw that something was not right in the atmosphere, so she quickly came out to smooth things over and said:
"Aren't we doing business? We don't care about matters in the court."
"Sir, I wonder if you can still do this business?"
When Li Jin finally got to the topic, he sat up straight. Wasn't he talking so much just to kill these people?
Otherwise, why would Li Jin bother them so much?
"Of course!"
"It's just that my mirror is not cheap. How much can you afford?"
After speaking, Li Jin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a slightly suspicious look.
Zhu Yuanzhang was aroused by Li Jin's look and immediately became furious:
"What's that look in your eyes? Even if we buy your mansion, we can afford it."
"Not to mention how many mirrors you have here?"
Li Jin curled his lips, "My mansion costs tens of millions, can you afford it?"
But don't talk about these things, otherwise this old man will have to hold on to corrupt officials again.
"In this case, I will tell you a price. If you can afford it, I will sell it to you."
"If you can't even afford it, we might as well not do this business."
"you say!"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was full of anger at the moment, but had nowhere to vent, making him very depressed.
"A mirror like this costs 50,000 taels!"
"What? Fifty thousand taels? You might as well go and grab it!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Jin, as if he couldn't believe the price he heard.
Li Jin smiled faintly and said:
"Robbing? This thing is much faster than robbing!"
"This is already the lowest price I can give you. This is because you are relatives of the emperor. Otherwise, it would be a hundred thousand taels less."
Queen Ma naturally knew the value of this thing and asked hurriedly:
"Then how many mirrors can you sell us?"
Li Jin slowly stretched out a finger and said:
"Ten Faces!"
"I will sell you ten mirrors for the time being. There is no other mirror like this except for me."
"When you get a mirror, whether it's one hundred thousand taels or two hundred thousand taels, it all depends on your mood."
"But if you still want to get this kind of mirror from me, you must bring me the imperial approval from the Royal Chamber of Commerce."
"I will give you three months. If you can really get the imperial approval, I can even give you the exclusive agency rights for this kind of mirror."
"How's the deal?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Jin's request was too much, and he opened his mouth to refuse, but Queen Ma stepped in and said:
"make a deal."
"But before that, you couldn't give the mirror to someone else to sell."
Li Jin smiled and nodded, but he was full of curiosity about this capable woman. This woman seemed to be no ordinary person.
"After chatting for so long, you still don't know the old man's last name or how to address him?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and then said:
"You can just call us Mr. Huang."
"Mr. Huang, I wish us a happy cooperation."
With that said, Li Jin stretched out his right hand, intending to shake hands cordially with Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Li Jin's right hand and did not respond for a long time.
Li Jin reacted immediately, cupped his hands and said:
“A pleasure to work with.”
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little angry, he could only bow his hands.
"Then magistrate, where is the mirror you mentioned? Take it out quickly?"
Zhu Di was worried about the mirror at this time. He didn't expect that such a magical thing, Li Jin, had more than just one side.
Li Jin smiled slightly and asked Daiyu Qingwen to bring up the mirror.
When the servants brought the mirrors up, everyone turned their attention to them again.
Each mirror was wrapped in exquisite silverware and looked extremely gorgeous. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the small mirror in the middle.
Zhu Di couldn't wait to pick up a mirror and look up and down.
Zhu Biao started to count the number of mirrors. After counting, he was surprised to find that there were eleven mirrors in there.
"Master Li, why are there eleven mirrors in here?"
"When we first met, there was nothing worth offering."
"Since you like this kind of mirror so much, I will give you one as a meeting gift."
Li Jin picked up a mirror and said that the extra mirror on this side was a meeting gift.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang thought this was a bribe, this mirror was worth 50,000 taels, and it was also the property of a corrupt official, so he didn't want it for free.
Zhu Yuanzhang snatched the mirror from Li Jin's hand and said:
"I guess you still have some winks, kid, otherwise I would have to give you endless treatment."
Li Jin shrugged, expressing his indifference, and then said:
"Now that you have seen the goods, please take out the money."
"As the saying goes, the money and goods are cleared, and there is no credit. You don't even have a mere five hundred thousand taels, right?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard someone asking him for money, he reflexively planned to jump and scold him.
But he soon realized that since he was doing business, he had to pay and deliver the goods.
But asking Zhu Yuanzhang to dig out the money by himself really made him feel like his heart was bleeding.
Seeing what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, Queen Ma knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had committed his old habit again, so she immediately stepped forward and took out the banknotes from Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.
"Sister, sister, don't!"
Queen Ma didn't care about Zhu Yuanzhang's struggles. The opportunity to make money was just around the corner. How could Queen Ma give up this great opportunity?
When he took out the banknote, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were still staring at the banknote in Queen Ma's hand.
Seeing Empress Ma hand the banknote to Li Jin, Zhu Yuanzhang felt like someone was cutting his flesh with a knife.
When Li Jin saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It's the rich people like you who are being slaughtered.
Queen Ma saw that it was getting late outside and knew it was time to leave, so she immediately said:
"In this case, we will no longer disturb you, sir, and we will take our leave."
When Li Jin saw this, he no longer wanted to stay. He cupped his hands and said:
"Then I won't see you off, please go slowly."
"By the way, since some of you have been to the north of the city, I suggest that this kind of mirror can also be auctioned, so that you can earn more money."
"I once again wish you all the best to get rich!"
After hearing this, Queen Ma's eyes lit up. If it was really sold at auction, the silver would definitely be sold at a higher price.
After several people installed the mirror, they planned to leave. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to leave, he was dragged away by Queen Ma.
After Li Jin saw Zhu Yuanzhang and others leaving, he couldn't help humming a tune:
"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true!"
