I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin couldn't help but glance at Li Shen when he heard Li Shen's words. Although Yantie was not controlled by the court, there were indeed strict regulations on issuing licenses.

Although in terms of qualifications, his son is fully capable and capable of obtaining Yantie's license, he is not a safe owner.

If he enters the salt and iron industry, he is not sure how he will deal with it. Changes are likely to occur by then.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin asked:

"Why do you want to start the salt and iron business?"

"Because it makes money!" Li Shen's answer was simple and practical.

He just wants to make money and make more money.

"You don't want to mess with salt and iron again." Li Shimin would not believe what his son said.

His son always has far-reaching plans when doing things.

Suddenly Li Shimin had a terrible thought. Could this be his real purpose?

The Xing kiln white porcelain and the price reduction of gold are all just pretexts. The ultimate goal of his son is to obtain the right to operate Salt and Iron.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:

"Old Shi, you didn't want to get the management rights of Yantie from the beginning, right?"

"No, absolutely not. Aye, isn't this the end of Aye's conversation with Er? Er also had a sudden idea that salt and iron must be very profitable.

Aye, in fact, no matter what industry it is, as long as our Li family is the largest, we can ensure that the people will not be deceived.

As long as we don't raise the prices of salt, iron, and grain, which are essential to people's livelihood, other people won't be able to raise the prices if they want to.

We can control the market price trend and restrain the development speed of those aristocratic families and nobles. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, his eyes glowed and he looked at Li Shimin eagerly.

He needs the management rights of Yantie, which is a lever to control the family.

If there is a conflict in the future, Li Shen can use salt and iron to attack the foundation of the family. If they are honest, then Li Shen will develop smoothly.

In capitalism, even a large landowner can influence policy, let alone the salt and iron of aristocratic families. It would be really troublesome if they joined forces to play games.

The family's salt-making technology and iron-making and steel-making technology will not be shared with the imperial court.

Li Shimin also quite agreed with Li Shen's words.

"Wang De, write down what King Ji said and send it to the East Palace so that Gao Ming can read it thoroughly. I will give him a test later."

Li Shen's idea was very useful in his opinion. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, no other dynasty had ever thought of this method.

Either it would be handed over to individuals like the Tang Dynasty, or it would be a monopoly by the court and there would never be any idea of ​​joint operation.

Li Shen is right. As long as the imperial court is the largest dealer, others will not be able to cause trouble. At most, the imperial court will buy up small businesses and sell them to the people at low prices.

Looking at the overall cost, we won’t lose money.

As the prince, and the richest prince, Li Shen will definitely make the salt and iron the largest merchant. When the time comes, Li Shen can control the price on behalf of the court.

As long as his son doesn't mess around, it will not only benefit the people, but also suppress the development momentum of the noble family, killing two birds with one stone.

"Okay, then I will give you the management rights, but there is one thing. I want a [-]% share and supervision rights, and if the court needs it, you must give priority to selling to the court." Li Shimin thought about it and made a decision.

However, Li Shen quit and shook his head:

"Aye, I'm applying for a license through formal channels. Why should I give out [-]%? Even the nobles from other aristocratic families don't get a share. Do you think my uncle's family gets a share?"

As soon as Li Shen said this, Queen Changsun looked over and said,

"Why, just because I am you Aye!" Li Shimin said confidently.

"Uh..." Li Shen was speechless. We couldn't talk anymore, and you can't say that I'm still your father.

Or what happened to Aye? He shouldn’t be beaten to death?

But Li Shen was unwilling to give in, so he continued.

"Aye, the shopping mall is like a battlefield. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield. I, Prince Ji, still have a large family to support, and I also want to save some inheritance for Aye's grandchildren.

If that's the case, it's better to find cooperation with my uncle. He has the license and I have the skills. If I give him [-]%, he can do it. "

Li Shen's initial plan was indeed to find Changsun Wuji, but later Li Shen felt that it would be safer to have the technology in his own hands.

Queen Changsun was also very moved after hearing Li Shen's words. Her cheap son was very capable.

Li Shen is known as the reincarnation of the God of Wealth and has a lot of ways to make money. If his brother can cooperate with Li Shen,

The eldest son's family will surely reach a higher level.

This can be seen from Changle’s annual wine dividend.

Nine years ago, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle only exchanged a mere 50 guan for a [-]% dividend. In the past nine years, the dividend has exceeded [-] guan.

This has been rumored to be the most classic investment case in Chang'an City.

I don’t know how many people are jealous of Changle’s [-]% share.

"You bastard, you actually would rather cooperate with outsiders than with your own Aye. You are taking advantage of everything."

Li Shimin immediately became angry when he heard this.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong and looked at her. Li Shimin felt bad in his heart.

Sure enough, Queen Changsun's resentful voice came from the side:

"Erlang, it turns out that after all these years, you still regard me as an outsider." After saying his grievance, he almost shed a few tears.

Li Shimin glared at Li Shen and quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Mr. Guanyin, I didn't mean that. This traitor made me confused. You are my good wife, how can you call me an outsider? My assistant and I are brothers."

Li Shen looked at Li Shimin's humble appearance with contempt on his face.

"Tsk~~~~You can be as good as me," Li Shen thought to himself.

After a long while, the elder Sun stopped being angry. Li Shimin said impatiently to Li Shen, the culprit:

"Then what do you say? I can't give you this management right for nothing. You must know that if this matter is brought to court,

Do you know how many people are against it? What kind of popularity do you have in the court, but you still don’t know it? "

Li Shen was said to be a little sad. It is true that his popularity in the court was too bad. Except for the prime minister and a few other people, no one had a good impression of him, including the fathers of his dandies.

Li Shen himself also wondered how he had been able to get along all these years without making any subordinates.

"Aye, I provide money, skills, and management. I will give Aye a [-]% bonus, but I will not accept the supervision of the court. Otherwise, if the court comes to point fingers without knowing anything, I'm afraid I can't help but beat him to death.

However, if the court needs it, I can provide it to the court first. Aye can rest assured that I am still a prince after all. "

Finally, Li Shen proposed his own plan.

"Twenty percent? No, [-]% is too little. Do you know how much pressure I have to withstand for you in the court? No one from the aristocratic family, nobles or princes will want you to touch the salt and iron business."
