Zhu Qijin stretched out his hand doubtfully.
The next moment, a warm energy surged from the palm of his hand, and in an instant, it spread to the limbs and bones. The whole body was warm and light, and an indescribable refreshing feeling swept through the whole body.
He didn't know how to describe this feeling. If he really had to impose an adjective, it would be pleasure.
It's not psychological satisfaction, it's simply physical joy, as if the whole body is alive and conscious, eager to express its happiness.
Wonderful, so wonderful...
Zhu Qijin is a healthy person. At the age of forty, his body is still considered strong. Based on this, he is very sensitive to the true energy and can better appreciate the magical effects of the true energy.
However, the good times did not last long, and after a few breaths, the beauty came to an abrupt end.
Li Qing took back his hand and asked calmly: "How?"
Zhu Qijin's face was full of intoxication and he hummed softly: "Don't stop~"
Li Qing:-_-||
"Do you believe it now?"
"I believe it." Zhu Qijin licked his lips and said in surprise: "Are you... really a god?"
"You can say that," Li Qing did not deny, "However, gods also have limitations. For example, I cannot make others become gods."
Regarding Han Han's descendants, Li Qing used the same words as Han Han.
"Forty years, if you don't stop being a monster, I will guarantee that you will live another forty years." Li Qingdao, "Many people don't have forty years in their lives. You have already lived forty years, and you can live forty more. How about it?" "
Zhu Qijin breathed quickly and nodded: "Done."
"You are smart." Li Qing nodded with a smile, and then asked: "Now that you are of the Han king's lineage, can you be worthy of being the home of Jiaozhi?"
"You can basically come to my place." Zhu Qijin made up his mind and stopped hiding his secrets. "My mother is a local. After I took over, almost no one openly opposed it."
After a pause, "Of course, my grandfather built a lot of schools in his later years and spread Han culture, which also played a key role. Now, several Han festivals such as Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people..."
After indirectly proving his ability, Zhu Qijin said: "Go on."
"There's no rush," Li Qing stretched, "I'm really tired from traveling all the way. Please arrange a place for me first. In addition, you must show sincerity first."
"There is no problem in arranging accommodation. The palace is so big, you can pick whatever you like, but..." Zhu Qijin asked: "You said supplying the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty..."
"Supply industry chain." Li Qing saw him stuttering and supplemented for him.
"Yes," Zhu Qijin said, "please talk about this industry chain in detail."
He didn't quite understand this term.
"It's actually very simple." Li Qing explained, "It means ship materials, sails, food, medicinal materials... to provide supplies for the Ming Dynasty's cargo ships and people."
"How long will the supply last?"
"Always supply."
"..." Zhu Qijin said in a deep voice: "Your request is a bit overwhelming. Even if I have a golden mountain, I can't afford such flowers."
"Only supplying merchant ships to the imperial court?"
"We can't afford it." Zhu Qijin said angrily, "Do you know how many merchant ships supply supplies here every year?
Besides, most of the merchant ships going out to sea are officials and gentry, even if they are not from the imperial court. If in the future... treacherous ministers are in power, taking advantage of others and then delegating privileges to the officials and gentry, they will not be able to kill me, right? "
Zhu Qijin's words were so sensible that Li Qing couldn't refute him. He thought about it and said, "What do you think?"
"I can serve Ming Dynasty, but... Ming Dynasty has to give money." Zhu Qijin said, "I don't want to cheat money or anything, you have to let me continue to operate, right?
In this way, after excluding the cost of raw materials and labor costs, I only get 30% profit. "Zhu Qijin said, "If you really want Jiaozhi to serve the Ming Dynasty for a long time, you must let me, the King of Han, earn money. No one is willing to do this at a loss, so what do you think? "
Li Qing pondered for a while and said: "I can understand that you want to recover the cost. After all, your money did not come from the strong wind. I can also accept a moderate profit, but..."
Li Qing snorted, "Don't forget, you have benefited from me, do you still want to take advantage of both sides?"
Zhu Qijin thought for a while and nodded: "Since you said so, I'll give you 2 and a half percent!"
"10%!" Li Qing held out a finger, "In addition, I have to personally review the cost and set the price. This profit will only be counted after my review."
"Only 10%?" Zhu Qijin frowned, "Do I still have to listen to your pricing?"
"That's right," Li Qing nodded, "That's it, I still look at Han... your grandfather's face, otherwise, I will give you half a percent at most."
You still have to give in to some benefits, otherwise it would be really ugly to live for a long time with just one person.
After all...he can't stay here and watch...
"You..." Zhu Qijin held his life in Li Qing's hand, not wanting to get angry, and said in a low voice: "You and I each take a step back, 20%."
"Forget it." Li Qing stood up and said, "Goodbye."
"No," Zhu Qijin panicked, "It's up to you, everything will come true."
Li Qing smiled slightly: "That's right. Let's go. Arrange a good place for me first."
"Ang." Zhu Qijin said in a dull voice, "When will your longevity method begin?"
"You have to let me rest for two days, right?" Li Qing said with a smile, "I won't run away, so what are you afraid of?"
"Who is afraid?" Zhu Qijin hummed, "Then two days later, by the way, how long do I have to accept that secret method to achieve the effect you promised?"
"The first stage lasts for one year, with an interval of half a year, and then the second stage lasts for three months. As for the rest..." Li Qing thought for a while, "Once in five years, one month at a time is enough."
In fact, Li Qing was fully capable of getting rid of Zhu Qijin's potential illness within two years, or even within one year, but he didn't want to do that.
A one-shot deal is far less effective than holding on to it all the time.
"Isn't this too much trouble?" Zhu Qijin didn't want to be hung up. "Also, why is it only once every five years, one month at a time, and can't it be longer?"
Li Qing said: "The first is to extend your life, and the second is to consolidate. Don't think that as long as you do it more times and for a longer time, you can live longer. Without any taboos, except for a very few people with extraordinary talents, eighty years old is already the end of the world. limit."
After a pause, "Of course, you don't have to believe it, let's just break up now."
Zhu Qijin: "..."
"trust you."
"Just trust me," Li Qing said with a smile, "I watched your grandfather grow up, and I will never lie to you."
Actually... Li Qing can even fool a fool.
However, Li Qing was not just fooling Zhu Qijin, it was true that he extended his life. For ordinary people in this era, eighty years is indeed the limit.
It's the so-called life extension method... Li Qing 'improved' it a little bit.
When Zhu Qijin saw him mentioning his grandfather many times with a kind look on his face, he really believed his evil deeds and felt very kind to Li Qing.
The words were a lot more polite.
He is worthy of being Hanhan's grandson. Although he is not a pure Han Chinese, he has perfectly inherited his genes... Li Qingxin said.
…
~
It is the first day of the Lunar New Year in the twenty-first year of Chenghua.
After Zhu Jianshen handed out the red envelopes, he returned to Qianqing Palace to have a cup of tea and prepare to go to Changle Palace and Kunning Palace to wish his father and mother the new year.
As soon as he took a bite of dim sum, Crown Prince Zhu Youtang led his younger brothers and sisters over to pay him New Year greetings.
"I wish my father a happy New Year." Zhu Youtang took the lead, and more than a dozen princes and princesses knelt down and kowtowed, "I wish my father a long life and may all your wishes come true."
"Haha... get up, everyone, get up." Zhu Jianshen clapped his hands, dug into his large sleeves and took out a large stack of red envelopes.
"Youtang."
"My son is here." Zhu Youtang stood up and stepped forward.
"Here, let's share it with my younger brothers and sisters." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile, "I've got it all. If I give it to my mother and concubine, my father will not give it to me next year."
"My son, I obey."
The children were very happy. Even after their father said so, it seemed that their mother and concubine still dared to take them away.
"Brother, brother, give me a big one..."
"Don't worry, everyone has it..." Zhu Youtang organized his younger brothers and sisters while handing out red envelopes starting with the youngest sister.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then sighed with emotion: "Time flies so fast."
Thinking back to the beginning, he even suspected that he would not be able to give birth to a son. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, the number of his children exceeded that of his father and grandfather...
Give him time and he will surpass Taizu.
However, Zhu Jianshen didn't want to have so many children.
These are enough for now, there is no need to have children just for the sake of having children, just let everything happen.
"Zhu Youtang."
"Hey," Zhu Youtang hurriedly handed the last red envelope to his second brother, turned around and stepped forward, "Father."
"Come for a walk with me."
"Yes." Zhu Youtang bowed and said yes.
Zhu Jianshen stepped out and his children behind him saluted, "Farewell to my father."
He said without looking back, "Please be careful on this snowy day. You are playing too crazy and you may catch a cold."
"My son, I obey."
There were scattered snowflakes floating in the sky, and it looked like it was about to stop. The wind was still blowing, full of chill.
After walking for a while, Zhu Jianshen slowed down when he saw that his son still couldn't keep up.
Unexpectedly, he was slow, and so was his son. He was always one position behind him, looking cautious.
Zhu Jianshen simply stopped, turned around and said, "Are you so afraid of me?"
"I don't have a son," Zhu Youtang hurriedly explained, "How can I walk side by side with my father?"
"Ha, pedantic." Zhu Jianshen snorted and added: "Stupid."
Zhu Youtang: "...Father taught me a lesson."
"..." Zhu Jianshen also lost his temper and sighed: "You are the crown prince of the country and the future emperor. The words of saints are to restrain the subjects, not the emperor. It is better to have no books than to believe in books. You must have a strong balance in your heart. Do you understand?"
"My son understands."
"Hmm..." Zhu Jianshen exhaled a hot breath, "Remember, when you become an emperor in the future, you have to stand up for yourself when encountering problems, and look at things from a higher position. You can reason with your ministers, but you can't just reason with them;
You can't reason with them, you have to dominate them. "
After a pause, "Also, just listen to the words of the saints. Today's Ming Dynasty is not the era of Confucius and Mencius. It is undeniable that some principles are eternal, but they have little to do with governing the country..."
