Qin Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead after leaving the front hall. To be honest, he was not used to suddenly facing so many big bosses.
As he walked, he thought about how to distribute the workers in the brewery.
Unknowingly, I came to my yard. In the study, Queen Changsun saw Qin Ming coming back alone.
I couldn’t help but ask:
"Good nephew, where are your Uncle Li and the others?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he told the story about Cheng Yaojin bringing the prince of Hejian County, Duke Yi, and Marquis Langya.
Then Qin Ming said:
"Auntie, I might have to force my aunt and my two sisters to have dinner in my nephew's yard at noon."
The eldest grandson didn't care when he heard this, waved his hand and said:
"My dear nephew, just go and take care of the guests in my house. You don't have to worry about Auntie."
"Well, okay. Thank you, Auntie, for your understanding."
Qin Ming turned to Xiao Changxi who was accompanying him in the room and said:
"Changxi, take care of your aunt here. I'll go to the front hall to accompany the guests first."
Xiao Changxi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, sir."
When Qin Ming was about to leave the study after explaining everything, Princess Changle interrupted:
"Brother Qin Ming, please stay."
Qin Ming turned around when he heard this, looked at the sweet and pretty princess on the sofa curiously, and said:
"Is something wrong with sister Li Zhi?"
Princess Changle stood up and said:
"Li Zhi is very curious about how brother Qin Ming grows fresh vegetables in winter. I wonder if it would be convenient for Li Zhi and my mother to go and have a look."
Princess Yuzhang and Queen Changsun next to her also lit up when they heard this, and they were also very curious about this matter.
Qin Ming saw everyone's expressions, thought for a while and said:
"Well, since sister Li Zhi wants to see it, there is no problem. There is still some time before dinner, so let Chang Xi take you there."
After speaking, she turned to Xiao Changxi and said:
"Chang Xi, ask Ada to bring a team to escort you there. You must protect your aunt and others on the way."
Xiao Changxi nodded when she heard this.
Empress Changsun said to Xiao Changxi:
"Then there's Lao Changxi."
...
Qin Ming arranged the carriage, gave a few words to A Da and his entourage, and then returned to the house.
When Qin Ming returned to the front hall, Li Shimin was chatting with Lu Guogong and others.
The atmosphere was much better than before.
This also made Qin Ming secretly relieved.
After explaining to Li Shimin and others, and after the eldest grandson and others left, he sat back in his seat.
Everyone was very curious when they heard that their eldest grandson had visited the vegetable greenhouse in Qin Mansion.
But thinking that the biggest purpose of this trip had not been achieved, I did not propose to visit the greenhouse.
When everyone saw Qin Ming sitting down, their eyes turned to Lu Guogong. It was obvious that they had just agreed to let him take the lead.
Cheng Yaojin had just reached a "reconciliation" with His Majesty and now seemed very calm. He coughed, looked at Qin Ming and said:
"My dear nephew, you may have guessed the purpose of my visit this time. It just so happens that everyone here today wants to make a brewery together. Since they all happen to be here today, let's settle the specific matters. You see? good?"
When Qin Ming saw everyone looking at him, he suddenly felt a little Alexander.
He thought for a while and said seriously:
"My nephew also has this intention. But my nephew would like to know what your uncles' plans are for the workshop?"
Li Shimin interjected after hearing this:
"My dear nephew, this matter was originally proposed by you, and only you know the production process, so I just discussed it with your uncles, and you can arrange this matter."
When Qin Ming heard Li Er's words, he probably knew it in his heart. Although the benefits of the workshop were great, no one among these old fritters wanted to offend Li Er openly.
As for Li Er, he didn't want to cause discord between the emperor and his ministers because of the workshop, so everyone kicked the ball to him.
I don't want to offend anyone.
Qin Ming looked at the seven people present, including him. He rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
He first looked at Cheng Yaojin and said:
"Uncle Cheng, I wonder how much your brewery costs?"
Cheng Yaojin thought for a while and said:
"About three thousand guan."
When Qin Ming heard this, he looked at the crowd and said:
"Well, in this case, my nephew will tell me my thoughts first. If you uncles have different opinions, please mention them later."
"My nephew's idea is this. There are seven of us sitting here. My nephew will provide craftsmanship, Uncle Cheng will provide the brewing workshop, and the other uncles will provide the money. Can we cooperate in this way?"
Everyone had no objection to this, so they basically answered at the same time:
"Can."
Qin Ming saw this and continued:
"Then, my nephew, tell me what you think. You uncles must have heard what Uncle Cheng said. This business is relatively large, and it involves our Tang Dynasty's army and court.
So I want to give the royal family two shares for free. This is a guarantee for us. Secondly, with the royal family as our backing, we don’t have to worry about other companies taking advantage of us in the future. "
Everyone nodded again after hearing this. They had known about this before, and His Majesty was here, so the royal shareholding was already a certainty.
Only Cheng Yaojin was thoughtful at this moment. He now understood why His Majesty wanted to hide his identity in front of Qin Ming, because he could gain more shares in this way. Hey, whether it was meeting His Majesty by chance in the Qin Mansion today or sharing the workshop at this moment. In terms of benefits, I have to say that His Majesty is more skilled.
"Well, since the uncles have no objections to this, the nephew will continue.
Among the workshop members, the royal family accounts for 20%, and Uncle Cheng and I each account for 1.5%.
For the remaining uncles, there are five of you, each of you will have 10%, and each of you will need to pay 2,000 yuan. If there are no problems with the uncles, we can sign the contract today. "
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. In this way, he was equivalent to paying 2,000 yuan, but he accounted for 30% of the share. This was very worthwhile.
Others are also very satisfied with this. After all, who doesn't know that Qin Ming's vegetable shop in Chang'an City is making a lot of money every day.
And I heard that he has already started building a brewery in the village. This kid is not short of these thousands of dollars at all, he just wants to find a backer because the benefits are too great for him to bear.
These people had all drank alcohol at Cheng Mansion last night, so they naturally knew that this wine would be as popular as Qin Ming's vegetable shop in the future.
This is simply giving money to several companies. Of course, the happiest among these people is Fang Xuanling. He came here today entirely for Qin Ming's resettlement point.
Unexpectedly, during this trip, I didn’t get Qin Ming’s calligraphy treasure, but I got a hen that could lay golden eggs.
Qin Ming couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw everyone's satisfied expressions.
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Qin Ming wrote a letter of agreement on the spot and asked everyone to sign it.
Qin Ming was very excited as he held the contract, which was full of the seals of Zhenguan ministers and Li Er's private seal. He could conclude that if this contract could be passed down to future generations, it would definitely be a national treasure.
I thought that I would keep this contract as a family heirloom in the future.
After everyone signed the contract, Qin Ming looked at the time and said to everyone:
"Uncles, it's noon now. Food has been prepared at my house. Uncles, please come with me to dine first. Uncle Cheng, you are all visiting my house for the first time, so you can taste the dishes at my house."
Cheng Yaojin and the others looked at each other and smiled knowingly. It doesn't matter whether they have food or not, as long as they have wine.
...
