Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Boss Zhao thought about it for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.

Otherwise, he had no better solution.

He sighed quietly. Since cooperation is necessary, there should be basic trust.

I just hope that Lao Li’s judgment is correct and the princess can make them rich.

After they discussed it, they started looking for someone to write a contract, preparing to submit it to the academy tomorrow so that the princess could see it earlier.

The next afternoon, Lin Shu looked at the contract in his hand, bared his teeth, and ran to find Murong Xun with great joy.

"Murong! Come and show me if there is any problem with this fit."

Murong Xun took it and read it carefully, and then made a few changes on it.

"That's no big deal."

Murong Xun handed the contract to Lin Shu, and then continued, "I have no objection to the profit-sharing ratio that Your Majesty mentioned before."

Lin Shu cheered and said, "Then we can start preparing."

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he ran out with the agreement in his heart, ready to push forward and implement it quickly.

Inside the private room of Wangyue Tower, Boss Li and Boss Zhao sat upright with steaming hot tea in front of them, but they didn't take a sip. It was obvious that they were nervous and restless.

"Old Zhao, do you think the princess will add any other conditions?"

Boss Zhao shook his head: "I hope there won't be any new content added."

“Otherwise, I really don’t know if I can make money.”

At this time Lin Shu pushed the door open and walked in.

Boss Li rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Shu cautiously.

Lin Shu sat in the main seat and asked Eunuch Deli to take out the contract.

Lin Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at the two men with a half-smile, "Don't be nervous, bosses. I see that this is a perfect match."

"There are some subtle details that need to be revised. I have asked Lord Murong to help correct them."

"See if there is any problem."

As he spoke, Lin Shu pushed the contract in front of the two of them and said, "Take a look at it. If there is no problem, let's sign it."

Boss Li and Boss Zhao took the contract and looked through it carefully. They found that the changes were not major, and only some clauses were further refined to protect the interests of both parties.

The two looked at each other, saw the joy in each other's eyes, and signed without hesitation.

Lin Shu raised his teacup with a smile and took a sip.

After the two had signed and put their fingerprints on the document, Lin Shu put down his teacup and spoke to them.

"Since we are now in the same boat," Lin Shu put down his teacup and his expression became serious, "I will speak frankly about some things."

The two of them felt very uneasy when they saw Lin Shu's serious face.

I was afraid that Lin Shu would bring some bad news.

"Princess, please speak!"

Boss Li and Boss Zhao immediately sat up straight and pricked up their ears, afraid of missing any word.

Lin Shu lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in his tone.

"Do you know that trade will soon resume? All caravans can go to Dilan, Northern Frontier, and other countries to sell goods."

"What?!" Boss Li and Boss Zhao were stunned when they heard this, and the teacups in their hands almost fell to the ground.

"Princess, is this news true?!" Boss Li stood up excitedly, his voice trembling.

"It's absolutely true." Lin Shu nodded affirmatively, "You can send caravans to the two countries now to collect large quantities of wool, spices and other things."

"I also know the owner of Wangyue Tower. They will buy the spices from you at a high price." Lin Shu added, with a shrewd gleam in his eyes.

Boss Li and Boss Zhao looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity! If they can seize this opportunity, they will definitely make a fortune!

If private caravans were allowed to trade, the price of wool would probably be lowered.

After all, it was previously in the hands of the Cheng family, so the price to the outside world was inevitably high.

In this way, you can not only save money, but also take this opportunity to make a fortune.

They immediately took back all the caravans they had and asked them to take the specialties of Dayan and sell them to other countries.

They had long heard that those countries were very fond of Dayan's porcelain.

It is said that it is priceless, so if they buy some and take them over, they will definitely be able to sell them for a lot of money.

Boss Li looked at Boss Zhao with pride before speaking to the princess.

"Thank you for the advice, Princess! We are both grateful!"

"No need to be so polite," Lin Shu smiled and waved his hand, "We are now partners, it is only right to benefit each other and make money together."

"Yes, yes, Princess is absolutely right!" Boss Li and Boss Zhao nodded repeatedly, their admiration for Lin Shu growing even greater.

Lin Shu smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, "I told you the news. Shouldn't you also help me do something?"

The two of them nodded repeatedly, looking like they were listening attentively.

Seeing the two men's humble and serious attitude, Lin Shu continued, "Please help me check if the Cheng family's goods contain the steel knife he bought before."

"Keep an eye on them for me and see if they are going to sell it to Dilan or Beijiang."

Boss Li was shocked. "This Cheng family is too bold. They sell this kind of stuff to other countries. How is it different from selling out the country?"

Lin Shu smiled mysteriously, "Just keep an eye on it for me. If you have any news, tell me."

"You will benefit from it then."

Only after Lin Shu left did Boss Li burst into laughter.

"I said it's okay to trust the princess. With this wave, maybe we can make back our investment."

Boss Zhao speculated, "And from what the princess said, she has something against the Cheng family."

Boss Li looked at Boss Zhao speechlessly, "These are not things we can guess."

"As servants, we just need to do our jobs well. There are some things that we just need to know clearly in our hearts."

Boss Zhao immediately changed the subject, "The princess just said that Wangyue Tower would pay a high price for spices."

"Why didn't I hear the news?"

"I've met the boss behind this a few times, that's Qiu Fan."

"In order to gain a foothold in Kyoto, I went to the Mu family. I have inquired about this, but I haven't heard any news about what specific goods he wants to receive."

Boss Li pondered for a long time, "The Mu family and the princess are very close, maybe the princess heard it from the Mu family."

"Can their relationship be the same as ours?"

"Since the princess has said so, let's just follow her lead."

After the two made up their minds, they immediately took action.

Lin Shu did not leave the private room immediately after leaving it, but found Qiu Fan.

"Is the caravan ready this time?"

Qiu Fan nodded and said, "Of course."

Lin Shu moved closer to Qiu Fan and whispered, "I have one more thing I want you to do."

After hearing what Lin Shu said, Qiu Fan looked suspicious, "Have you told His Majesty about this?"

Lin Shu chuckled and said, "Go ahead and do it. My dad will definitely agree!"

Qiu Fan bowed and immediately started to prepare.

Lin Shu sat on the sofa in the house, smiling happily.

"When you have tasted the sweetness, I don't believe that you, Cheng Fei, will not be tempted."

After Lin Shu had a good rest, he boarded the carriage back to the palace.

The emperor felt sorry for Lin Shu as he ran with his face red, and hugged him in his arms.

"Look at how you run. You can't stop for even a moment."

"Don't forget, you haven't reviewed the memorials today."

Lin Shu immediately lowered his head and started to act like a spoiled brat.

"Dad, what does the memorial have to do with me?"

"I'm still young. Such a heavy burden will bend my spine."

The emperor found it funny, "You are my father's daughter. If you don't accept our family's conditions, who will take over?"

"You are my only precious treasure."

Lin Shu frowned, looking disapproving, "Dad, how old are you? You want to retire?"

"You have to work until you are at least 65. Let's wait another thirty years. My baby should grow up happily."

The emperor looked at Lin Shu's little head gently and said, "You have to learn it sooner or later. These will be handed over to you sooner or later."

"Besides, if you don't help Daddy share the burden, I'm afraid Daddy won't live to the age you said."

"Don't you feel sorry for your father?"

Lin Shu pursed his lips, looking hesitant.

[What should I do? I feel like I don’t feel bad, but if I say I don’t feel bad, my dad will definitely increase my workload.]

[If I say I feel bad, I still can’t escape the fate of work. ]

Lin Shu thought about it again and again, and finally said the word "heartache" with a sullen face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shu lay down on the small table.

"Hey, when is Daddy going to give birth to a baby?"

"If you have a baby, you won't bother me anymore."

[And what does daddy mean? Do you want me to be the next emperor? ]

Thinking of this, Lin Shu couldn't help but look at the emperor twice.

The emperor looked at Lin Shu's appearance and secretly looked at his own appearance, and his heart was filled with joy.

The girl finally reacted.

I just don't know what she is thinking.

Lin Shu lay there and didn't want to move.

[Being an emperor is painful just thinking about it. Can't I just be a princess and enjoy the good life? ]

[If I were to be busy until midnight every day like my dad, what would be the point? ]

Thinking of this, Lin Shu looked at the emperor's profile and sighed deeply.

[Forget it, let’s change the subject. ]

The emperor glanced at Lin Shu with some disdain, thinking that his child was too unmotivated.

"Dad has to review memorials every day and deal with various state affairs. It must be very hard." Lin Shu looked distressed.

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

[Of course, it’s to keep you working hard. ]

The emperor felt relieved when he heard Lin Shu's words.

But when I heard her thoughts, I just felt a sharp pain in my heart.

This is simply a leaky cotton jacket.

But he still had to continue with Lin Shu's words.

"Daddy is not tired. As long as you behave yourself, Daddy won't feel tired at all."

Lin Shu smiled sweetly, "Dad, to help you solve your worries, I have a good idea. Maybe I can punish the Cheng family."

The emperor became interested. "Oh? What's your idea? Tell me about it."

Lin Shu leaned close to the emperor's ear and told him his plan.

"Dad, I heard from Qin Zheng that he has been observing the Cheng family for the past few days and found that the Cheng family father and son want to sell the steel knife that they bought at a high price to Beijiang or Dilan to make up for the previous losses."

The emperor was puzzled after hearing this: "It's just a knife, it can't convict them."

A sly gleam flashed across Lin Shu's eyes.

"If the Cheng family father and son get a taste of success this time, what do you think will happen if they encounter the same steel knife again?"

The emperor immediately guessed what Lin Shu meant, "They will naturally continue to buy and then sell at a high price."

Lin Shu chuckled twice and continued talking.

"We can ask Qiu Fan for help and have him find someone to pretend to be a supplier and take away the useless inventory from us. Then we can sell it to the Cheng family at a high price."

Lin Shu's eyes narrowed with smile.

The emperor chuckled, "You do have a plan."

"As long as the Cheng family father and son sell large quantities of sophisticated weapons to any country, they will be smuggling weapons, and we can punish them then."

Lin Shu nodded repeatedly, "That's right. You are worthy of being my father. You are so in tune with me."

The emperor chuckled, "You girl, you're trying to flatter me."

"But Fubao, your idea is good. We can give it a try."

Lin Shu looked at the emperor with a wry smile on his face.

"Dad, well, I've already asked Qiu Fan to do it. Hehe, you won't be angry, will you?"

When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned and looked angry.

"You are so quick, girl. You did it without telling Daddy."

"You're telling me this now, what if I don't agree?"

Lin Shu lowered his head with a pitiful look.

"Fubao also wants to help Daddy."

The emperor finally waited for Lin Shu to say this, "In this case, you should be Daddy's princess and Daddy's little helper. Don't think about hiding away from the idleness."

Lin Shu looked at the emperor in shock, "Dad, you have figured it out! You are waiting for me here."

The emperor snorted coldly and pretended to be angry.

"Do you think Daddy is this kind of person?"

Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Seeing that the emperor father looked angry, he quickly shook his head.

[Wow, Daddy is so mean today, he won't even tell me the truth.]

【It wasn’t like this before.】

Lin Shu looked at the emperor with a little resentment in his eyes.

Lin Shu didn't want to talk about this topic with the emperor anymore, so he stood up, walked to the emperor, and gently shook the emperor's sleeve.

"Dad, you haven't agreed yet!"

The emperor hugged Lin Shu in his arms.

"Hey, how can Daddy not agree?"

"When the time comes, I'd like to see what the Cheng family has to say!" When the emperor mentioned the Cheng family, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Lin Shu was extremely happy when he saw that the emperor agreed.

When she thought about asking Qiu Fan to do something, she thought about what she had promised him.

So he immediately said, "Dad, um, do you still remember what happened in Qiu Fan's hometown?"

"Are there any results now?"

The emperor tapped Lin Shu's forehead and said, "You don't remember to ask when you don't need someone."

Lin Shu rubbed his forehead and said, "No, it's not that far away. I calculated that the time was about right, so I came to ask."

"Daddy, please don't slander me. When Qiu Fan finds out, he will be so sad."

The emperor sneered, "Haha."

How could he not know this girl's temper?
