    Chapter 773: [So that¡¯s it]

    ¡­¡­

    The Li family, the Wang family, the Cui family, these great families were all the financial groups and economies of the Tang Dynasty.

    And the amount of money the queen invested in the ship this time is probably a lot, which may cause the royal family to lose the ability to be economically active in the next year.

    ¡°So the Li family has lost the ability to be economically active, isn¡¯t it just waiting to be squeezed by other economies?

    Such a situation is not what Lao Li and other people in the court want to see.

    So we have to find a way to suppress it.

    And pulling them onto the pirate ship has become a great idea.

    One glory is glorious, and one damage is damaged.

    Li Chengqian really wanted to applaud the queen.

    "So, does the mother agree to let the Cui family and others enter the ship together?" Li Chengqian asked.

    The queen nodded.

    "That's good. With this message from you, I can talk to Cui Yi and Wang Ji." Li Chengqian smiled.

    He then recommended Cui Yi to the queen and said, "Mother, I think the Cui family should be a good candidate."

    The queen gave Li Chengqian a funny look, she was here to use the back door!

    "I heard that the Cui family has been doing business in Japan, which is also on the sea, so if you rope them in, it will definitely be of great help to your ship!" Li Chengqian said with all his strength, "I'll give it to you  Look at one of his treasures!¡±

    "What baby?"

    Li Chengqian laid out his box, then opened the lid, revealing the corn cobs inside.

    When he saw the naked and ugly stick, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

    But he still took it out.

    The queen thought some treasure was coming to bribe her.

    But when I saw this ugly thing, I couldn¡¯t help but feel strange.  What kind of baby is this?

    "This is called Golden Vertebra!" Li Chengqian swallowed and said.

    The queen heard this name.  Obviously not impressed, he asked: "What is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

    "The golden vertebra is a sacred object for merchants at sea. They" Li Chengqian copied what Cui Yi told him and gave it to the queen.

    The queen is somewhat impressed by the worship of maritime merchants.

    But she looked at the ugly corn cob and asked in disbelief: "I heard that the golden vertebrae are as yellow as gold and full of eggs, but you"

    She pointed at the corn on the cob.  Some of them are hard to believe!

    Li Chengqian nodded awkwardly and said, "Because I don't think it's true what they passed around, saying it shouldn't be touched by soil. If these corns can be grown, then one of these corns can be exchanged for two boxes of cat's eyes.  Then our Tang Dynasty will be prosperous."

    "Corn?" the Queen asked when she heard the new word.

    "Yes, golden vertebrae sounds too unpleasant. I think the grains of this thing are like jade, so it is called corn." Li Chengqian explained, "So I peeled off these corn kernels and planted them. I planted them for one season.  The new harvest is used as seeds, and after one year, it can be eaten. Of course, if you want to use it to deceive those Japanese merchants and Baekje merchants, you can also do it. Just give me a few cat's eyes per box and two boxes at that time.  That¡¯s it.¡±

    The idea of ??planting corn was refreshing to the queen, so she didn¡¯t care about Li Chengqian giving her a bare corn cob.

    ¡°He just asked him to remember to bring one to show her after planting it.

    As for the ability of the Cui family, the queen also got recognition from this corn cob. She said:

    "The Cui family looks good. If he wants to get in touch, then you can help them introduce him."

    With the Queen¡¯s approval, Li Chengqian nodded.  But he has his own arrangements.

    He thought of something at this time and asked: "Mother, if they want to enter the sea ship, do they have to pay the same shipping fee? You have set a shipping fee of 40,000 guan, isn't this to scare them away?  You give me a bottom line, and I'll have an idea when I tell them."

    The queen rolled her eyes, but still said: "Yes, that's it."

    ¡°Oh, okay, I¡¯ll just talk to them and see if they have any ideas.¡±

    After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he retreated.

    Back to the East Palace, I called my two wives and told them happily.

    After hearing this, the two of them laughed happily.

    With this 40,000 yuan of money, Xiao Chen's financial department can start running again.

    So smallChen quickly took the contract, went to Chongren Hall, and started working hard with her team.

    Li Chengqian asked someone to contact Cui Yi, and in the afternoon, they made an appointment to meet at the original restaurant.

    In the afternoon, Li Chengqian met Cui Yi as scheduled, so he conveyed the queen's consent to Cui Yi through his own words.

    Cui Yi couldn't help but become happy after hearing this.

    Li Chengqian did not rush to talk to Cui Yi about how to cooperate and sign a contract. Instead, he first asked how much capital they were prepared to spend on the ship.

    Cui Yi stretched out his five fingers and said expressively: "At least 50,000 guan. Let's just say that there are a lot of things going to sea!"

    "Okay, I have a good idea. I will remember to tell my mother." Li Chengqian nodded.

    After leaving Cui Yi, Li Chengqian returned to the palace.

    In the evening, after Xiao Chen returned to Lizheng Hall, Li Chengqian told him what Cui Yi meant.

    Xiao Chen did the math. If the money was added to them, it would just cover part of the shipping fee.

    "Your Highness, we can go to the queen tomorrow and talk about increasing the amount of money we have to invest by 50,000 yuan." Xiao Chen said.

    Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this.

    Immediately, he said: "To put it this way, if the Cui family finds the queen by themselves, they will have to pay 40,000 guan in shipping fees, and then only 10,000 guan will be able to actually do business. This is a loss-making business, and this business is  There¡¯s nothing we can do. I¡¯m just helping them!¡±

    Xiao Chen chuckled.

    It was night, and Li Chengqian coaxed Su Mi into the room to sleep. When Sister Hippo entered the room, she kept yelling about how lonely it was when she didn't sleep with Xiao Chen. Why didn't she come over to sleep?

    "But Xiao Chen smiled sweetly and said he would not sleep with Sister Hippo.  She has to wait for His Royal Highness to come tonight.

    Li Chengqian coaxed Su Mi into bed, and Su Mi drove them away: "Your Highness, please go to Xiao Chen's place!"

    "You go to bed first!" Li Chengqian glared at her and said.

    Su Mi chuckled and then closed his eyes.

    After a while, when he heard Su Mi's even breathing, Li Chengqian knew that she was asleep, so he quietly got out of bed and went out.

    As soon as Li Chengqian closed the door, Su Mi opened her eyes and smiled.

    More than half an hour later, Li Chengqian came back with a smell all over his body. He took off the smelly clothes, then climbed into bed, hugged Su Mi, and the two fell asleep.
