Chapter 1711 Concubine Wen Shows Up

Tibetan Heron Garden.

A thirteen-on-one verbal battle officially began when Mu Bai uttered the royal family's request.

When negotiating this kind of thing, a large number of people does have a certain blessing effect. After all, the wisdom of a group is often higher than that of a single person.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

For example, ten great ladies together may not be able to scold a shrew. When the difference in rank is very large, the number of people can no longer determine anything.

Li Ziye, a low-quality representative of the gold level of martial arts, the master of wisdom, but the level of cursing and cheating, has never been afraid at this moment.

Don't say that the opponent only has 13 people, even if it is doubled, the result will not change in any way.

"Thirty percent."

Li Ziye had heard the conditions put forward by the Fourth Prince, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Your Highness, the [-]% you said is net profit or gross profit?"

"Of course it's net profit."

Mu Bai replied seriously, "This king still knows this bit of common sense."

"Sister Nan Qiao."

During the banquet, Li Ziye took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you think this request is reasonable?"

"Reasonable."

On the right side of empress changsun, changsun Nanqiao heard someone call her name. Out of a question of her position, she could only respond against her conscience, "Jingli refers to the silver that fell into the Li family's pocket, which has been thrown away." As for the cost, the Li family will contribute [-]%, which is not too much."

"If Sister Nanqiao thinks it's reasonable, how about this?"

Li Ziye smiled and said, "In the Great Shang Dynasty, if the eight major imperial merchants are willing to hand over [-]% of their net profits to the treasury, then I, the Li family, have no objection."

The eldest grandson Nanqiao's face changed slightly when he heard the counterattack of the Li family's son in front of him.

She knew it would be like this!

On the opposite side of the seat, a prince and nobleman's face immediately became unsightly when he heard this condition. Obviously, everyone present was more or less related to the Eight Great Imperial Merchants.

"The Li family, every product sold has paid the national tax in full in accordance with the laws of the big business. On this point, the Li family is not afraid of anyone to check, and even the accounts can be made public."

Li Ziye turned the teacup in his hand, and said calmly, "If the eight imperial merchants can do the same, and pay [-]% of the net profit, the Li family will be happy to cooperate."

Among all the firms owned by Dashang, the Li family must be the one that has been investigated the most.

However, if it is said that the most loosely investigated, it must be the eight imperial merchants.

The money from the national tax must go into the national treasury, and even the royal family cannot use it easily.

However, it is intriguing to find out whose pockets the money exposed by the eight imperial merchants through various means went into.

Beside the main seat, Mu Bai sighed softly when he saw the faces of the princes.

Forging iron requires one's own strength. Such a royal family has nothing to talk about with others, and if others fight back a little, they have nothing to say.

"Li Jiaoxi, don't mess around!"

At this time, next to King Wu'an, an old man with white beard spoke and said in a deep voice, "The eight imperial merchants have been imperial merchants for a long time, and the amount of taxes and net profits to be paid has long been determined. How can it be easily changed? Now, it is the Li family If you want to become an imperial merchant, my royal family must of course put forward your own requirements."

"Who is the old man?"

Li Ziye looked at the old man in front of him, thought for a while, and asked, "Yes, Duke Gu, right? Does what you just said really represent the royal family?"

This old man seems to be a relative, but he didn't pay much attention to it before, and he belongs to the kind of passerby who usually doesn't even bother to look at it.

"Since my Duke has sat here for a few days, what he said is of course the meaning of the royal family." Gu Guogong replied in a deep voice.

Hearing what the old man said, Li Ziye couldn't help laughing, and said, "Actually, it's okay for the Li family not to become an imperial merchant."

The old man didn't seem to understand the real situation yet.

The reconciliation this time was initiated by the royal family, but the Li family only stated the conditions for the reconciliation.

If you can talk, talk, if you can't talk, don't talk, the Li family doesn't care.

"Jiaoxi Li has misunderstood Duke Gu's meaning."

On the main seat, Empress Changsun saw that the negotiation was going in a bad way, and immediately interjected, "Of course, my royal family welcomes the Li family to become an imperial merchant, but it is not a trivial matter to make the Li family an imperial merchant. If the Li family doesn't show enough sincerity, it will be difficult to convince the public, and Li Jiaoxi also knows that there are too many companies in Dashang who want to become imperial merchants, and there must be a reason to make an exception."

During the banquet, Li Ziye couldn't help giving a thumbs up in his heart after hearing the queen's statement.

As expected of the lord of the harem of the Great Shang Dynasty, the level of speaking is different.

It is not twice or twice as strong as the idlers on the opposite side.

Thinking of this, Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand, and said seriously, "Of course the Li family has sincerity, how about this? Now it's a time of war, and the national treasury is in urgent need of silver. How much silver will the eight imperial merchants put together? My Li family will take out the same amount of money to enrich the national treasury together, with such sincerity, do the Empress and Fourth Highness think it is enough?"

On the main seat, Empress Changsun fell silent.

To be honest, this method can indeed alleviate the emptiness of the national treasury to a great extent.

However, teaching Li to learn this trick is to push the royal family to the opposite of the eight imperial merchants.

To alleviate the emptiness of the national treasury, the royal family must force the eight royal families to hand over enough silver, so that the Li family will also hand over the same amount of silver.

However, if the royal family didn't want to offend the eight imperial merchants and just went through the motions, then the Li family didn't need to give up any benefits.

Moreover, the Li family dared to fight against the eight royal merchants with their own strength. If the royal family refused again, it would appear that the royal family did not have any sincerity for today's peace talks.

It has to be said that this trick taught by Li is very clever.

Just when Li Ziye forced the royal family to the point of no return, the news that the white-clothed sword fairy stopped and killed the Li family's son in the street spread to Shou'an Palace and Wenxuan Courtyard at the same time.

"Soul Repelling Orb."

After hearing the news from the eyeliner, Fan Wenzhen walked quickly towards the Shou'an Hall without thinking about it.

Not long after, in front of the Shou'an Hall, Fan Wenzhen walked over, and after being informed, he hurried into the hall.

"What's the matter?"

On the bed, Emperor Shang opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you that there is nothing important, so don't come to Shou'an Palace without authorization?"

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Fan Wenzhen said solemnly, "I have just received the news that the soul-suppressing pearl is now in the hands of the Li family's son-in-law."

"What's the matter, is there any difference in that bead?" Shang Huang frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty does not know."

Fan Wenzhen explained solemnly, "The soul-suppressing pearl and the Hunyuan pearl co-exist and have similar effects, but the soul-suppressing pearl has a soul-suppressing effect, and its ability to control the underworld and night ghosts is even higher than that of the Hunyuan pearl. As long as we get the soul-suppressing pearl, the concubine is sure to create a rational night ghost in the shortest possible time."

"Ok?"

Hearing the words, Emperor Shang's eyes burst into a blazing light, and he asked, "Is what you said true?"

"Exactly!"

Fan Wen said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, we must get the soul-suppressing pearl, no matter what price we pay."

"not easy."

After a brief mood swing, Emperor Shang regained his composure, and said in a concentrated voice, "The son of the Li family is quite difficult to deal with. It is difficult to take something from him."

Fan Wenzhen remained silent and no longer expressed his opinion.

Her task is just to speak, and there is no need to say more about the rest, she still understands the truth that if you talk too much, you will miss it, especially the big business emperor in front of you is still so suspicious.

"It seems that this peace talk must be facilitated."

On the bed, Emperor Shang thought for a moment, then called out, "Come here."

"His Majesty."

At this moment, in the hall, a shadow guard appeared and saluted respectfully.

"Go to Cangluyuan and tell the queen that today's peace talks with the Li family must be concluded, and the interests of the royal family can be waived." Emperor Shang ordered calmly.

"Yes!"

The Shadow Guard took the order and left quickly.
