Chapter 1533 King Qi wants to grab food
King Qi Li You didn't hear Fang Jun and Li Chengqian explaining the difficulties of "supermarket". He just listened to the beginning and left eagerly.
Among His Majesty Li Er's disciples, Li You loves money the most.
This is understandable. His talents are not as good as those of his brothers, and he has not been able to take the position of crown prince for two consecutive rounds. However, he still has the status of a nobleman. Apart from pursuing pleasure, what else can he do? ?
But it is not so easy to be greedy for pleasure, because as long as it is fun, you need money...
Since being recalled to the capital by His Majesty Li Er in Qizhou, there are "Eastern Datang Firms" there, and the way to sell glass products to Goguryeo has been completely cut off. Li You has always been a lavish spender, just relying on the prince's little money How can I spend my salary?
These days are getting harder and harder to endure day by day...
At this moment, when I suddenly heard Fang Jun's idea of a "supermarket", I was immediately moved.
He wanted to follow suit, but he was afraid that the prince and Fang Jun would be dissatisfied, and he was unwilling to cooperate. Wouldn't it be equivalent to sharing his own money with others?
He returned to the house in a hurry, thinking hard about how to open this "supermarket" without causing the prince and Fang Jun to fall out.
As for stomachache, of course it’s just an excuse...
It happened that his uncle Yin Hongzhi came to visit, so Li You told the matter and asked Yin Hongzhi to make suggestions for him.
Yin Hongzhi is the youngest son of the former Sui hussar general Yin Shishi, and is a biological brother and sister to the biological mother of Qi King Li You, Concubine Yin. His father, Yin Shishi, had sent arresters to kill Li Yuan's fifth son, King Li Zhiyun of Chu, and destroyed the cemetery and family temple of Li Yuan's father's ancestors, which made Li Yuan hate him deeply. Therefore, when Li Yuan captured Daxing City in Xijing, he sent the defender to Yin Shishi and Yin Guyi brothers killed all three of their clans, but spared only Yin Shishi's youngest son Yin Hongzhi and his young daughter Yin Yue'e.
After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he gave Yin Yue'e to his second son Qin Wang Li Shimin who had made meritorious military exploits, and she became his concubine.
The following year, he gave birth to King Li You of Qi.
On the eve of the Xuanwumen Incident, Yin Hongzhi, who was the king of Qin and was responsible for the "Kunmingchi Incident", exposed Prince Li Jiancheng's conspiracy to "Kunmingchi Incident". For this reason, after Li Shimin became emperor, he was promoted to senior officials such as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yushi Zhongcheng. His nephew Qi After King Li Youce entered the vassal state, he concurrently served as the chief historian of the Qi Palace. His sister Yin Yue'e was also favored by His Majesty Li Er and was promoted to a first-class wife.
Yin Hongzhi has always had far-reaching strategies and outstanding wisdom. Many nobles and royal families in the court were friends with him, and his reputation was very strong.
Li You moved his uncle to his seat, ordered his maid to serve him tea, and told him his troubles.
After listening to Li You's words quietly, Yin Hongzhi suddenly seemed a little excited: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
He has always been obsessed with the blood feud of his family and is thinking about revenge all the time. However, he is a smart man. He knows that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty is now solid, and it would be a fool's dream to overthrow it. Therefore, he puts his mind on Li You and tries his best to help Li You become the crown prince and ascend the throne. This is considered an indirect reward. A big feud.
And if you want to help Li You counterattack and ascend to the throne, whether it is to win over the ministers to establish a crown prince, or to imitate His Majesty and implement military advice, there is one word that cannot be separated from everything - money!
And now is the best opportunity!
"That Fang Jun is known as the 'God of Wealth', and his ability to turn stones into gold is unparalleled in the world. Since he can advise the prince on this method of making money, he will definitely make a lot of money, there is no doubt about it!"
Yin Hongzhi's eyes shone.
In fact, Fang Jun's way of making money has long become a legend in the world. Even his enemies have to admire this point, making everyone have an almost blind trust in Fang Jun - as long as it is Fang Jun's In buying and selling, making money is inevitable, even if you want to lose money, it is impossible!
Li You smiled bitterly and said: "I also know this, so I am anxious to come back and think about it..."
Yin Hongzhi said flatly: "What's there to think about? It's better to strike first!"
Li You was startled, jumped up from the chair, and said in a voiceless voice: "Uncle, are you crazy? Even if you always want me to become the prince, there is no need to assassinate the prince's brother, right?"
Yin Hongzhi turned pale with anger, shouted with his halberd finger: "Fart! When did I ask you to assassinate the prince?"
Li You said: "Then what else do you mean by attacking first..."
Yin Hongzhi was speechless, and after a while he sighed and said: "What are you thinking about? When I say strike first, I naturally mean to open this supermarket before the prince and Fang Jun do. Since it was Fang Jun who figured it out. In your business, making money is inevitable, you can’t wait for a moment!”
"Haha, it turns out that this is what my uncle was referring to..."
Li You touched his nose, smiled coquettishly, then sat down again, and frowned again: "I'm afraid this won't work, right? It's okay for the prince brother, he himself won't run business affairs, even if he takes it seriously If you have the intention, if you see me driving first, you will definitely not fight with me, but Fang Jun...who dares to steal his business?"
What I have to say is that even though the relationship with Fang Jun has been restored very well now, the shadow that Fang Jun left on Li You was too strong. Even now, Li You dare not act stupidly in front of Fang Jun, let alone Grab Fangjun's deal?
Isn’t that seeking death?
Yin Hongzhi was also a little hesitant. After all, Fang Jun's reputation was not very good, especially since he had no fear of the prince and was protected by His Majesty Li Er. If he tried hard, he might not end well.
Even if this supermarket is opened by Li You and Fang Jun smashes it up, what can you do to him? Should he let the emperor issue orders and punish him, or should he let Jingzhao Yin and Ma Zhou support the King of Qi who "plagiarized ideas" and become an enemy of Fang Jun?
But if I give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for nothing, I really can’t bear to do it...
Yin Hongzhi thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped the table and said excitedly: "Yes!"
Li You hurriedly asked: "What's the plan?"
*****
"What did you say? Supermarket?"
His Majesty Li Er frowned and looked at the fifth son Li You in front of him suspiciously. He felt that Li You was talking nonsense today and he couldn't understand a word...
Li You quickly copied Fang Jun's rhetoric, and it was quite reasonable.
As he listened, His Majesty Li Er's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly. When Li You's mouth went dry, he asked: "Did you come up with all this?"
Although he does not have a deep understanding of merchant affairs, let alone proficiency, as the king of a country, his vision and vision are of great importance. He can see the core of it at a glance. If it is done properly, it is indeed a business that makes a lot of money.
Could it be that it was overlooked in the past that this son who had been doing mischief since childhood was actually a business wizard?
Li You was a little embarrassed and kept mumbling for a long time. It was not until His Majesty Li Er became impatient that he had no choice but to say: "It's not what I thought, it was Fang Jun..."
His Majesty Li Er suddenly realized, this is right!
When it comes to the way merchants produce goods, who else in the world can be more powerful than Fang Jun?
His Majesty Li Er himself benefited greatly from Fang Jun's ability to make money. He nodded and said: "Fang Jun's ability to make money is indeed unmatched by anyone. If he says he can make money, then he must be able to make money. But you are telling me this , but what is the purpose? ”
"This...that...Father, look at my son, I don't have much ability. I can't govern the country through civil and military power. Fortunately, I am your son, so I am lucky enough to have a worry-free life..."< br>
As Li You spoke, he secretly looked at his father's expression. Seeing that his "self-defeating" words did not arouse his father's displeasure, he felt depressed that his father did not look at him seriously. At the same time, he secretly felt happy and continued: " But Erchen has now opened a government office and built a mansion, which is a big place inside and outside. I have to support the helper, and my son has always been a big spender, and there is no money left in the house... Well, anyway, the prince brother despises the business of merchants, why don't you tell Fang Jun, father, and simply give up this opportunity? Is it okay for you to give it to your son?”
After saying that, he looked at His Majesty Li Er anxiously, waiting for the ruling...
This was the idea that Yin Hongzhi gave him, and he did it out of necessity.
Everyone knows that Fang Junzhi is strong, so how can he let go if he robs his business? Therefore, if Li You wanted the business of this supermarket, he could only find His Majesty Li Er as his backer. Xiaozhi used his emotions to reason and asked His Majesty Li Er to suppress Fang Jun, thus eliminating the hidden danger of Fang Jun getting angry.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "You are really a fool. Your father and I are the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You want me to help you grab the business of your ministers?"
Li You was startled and said hurriedly: "How could it be possible? No matter how unethical a minister is, he would not dare to do such a thing! But it is impossible to put it on others, but Fang Jun is not only a minister, but also a father. Your son-in-law, your minister’s brother-in-law... this is all a family matter!" (End of Chapter)
