Happy Little Scholar

"Ahem, ahem, Brother Li misunderstood." Steward Wang coughed twice, hiding the embarrassment on his face, and said, "Of course the palace takes 7."

All the business of Ning Wang Mansion outside is managed by Steward Wang alone. He is also a well-known figure in Qing'an City. If someone dared to talk to him like this, I'm afraid Steward Wang would have left long ago, but the person in front of him is an exception.

The cooperation in the business of Ruyi Lu and strong liquor has become a foregone conclusion, which is not something Steward Wang can control.

After all, this matter was decided by the little prince, and he was just a servant of Ning Wang Mansion, at most a servant of a higher status, and he had no right to veto.

What's more, the profits of these two businesses are so large that they are a sure win, and they can bring huge profits to the palace every year. If they succeed, they will also have their own credit.

All he could do was to try to get more profits for the palace. The prince would not personally inquire about these matters. The little prince knew nothing, so he had to do these things.

"Butler Wang is wrong." Li Yi sighed, looked at him leisurely and said, "I think Butler Wang is a wise man, he should know how much profit Ruyi Lu and strong liquor can bring once they are mass-produced, right?"

He could not deny this, butler Wang nodded and said, "Ruyi Lu is indeed a rare thing, popular in Qing'an Prefecture City. If it can be further expanded, it can even be sold to Kyoto... As for the strong liquor, it is far better than other goods in the wine shop, and the profit is immeasurable."

Li Yi looked at him and asked with a smile, "Then I wonder if Butler Wang Have you ever heard of "intellectual property rights"? "

"Intellectual property rights...?" Wang Guanjia looked puzzled and asked, "What is...intellectual property rights?"

It is not easy to explain what intellectual property rights are to an antique that is equivalent to hundreds or thousands of years old. Li Yi thought about it and said, "Although the profits of Ruyi Lu and strong liquor are huge, if there is no formula for Ruyi Lu and the production method of strong liquor, no matter how big the profit is, it is just empty talk. Can Wang Guanjia deny this?"

"Of course." Wang Guanjia answered without hesitation.

"Then, Wang Guanjia thinks, are these two things more important, or are manpower and workshops more important?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.

Wang Guanjia stopped talking.

Of course he understood the truth. Having manpower and workshops without formulas is useless. The premise for the Wangfu to obtain such huge profits is that the young people in front of them can hand over the formula of Ruyi Lu and the method of producing strong liquor to them.

But the question is, does anyone dare to negotiate with the Wangfu in this way?

Facts have proved that there are indeed.

All along, all those merchants have been flattering him and trying to get close to him and have some relationship with the palace. Why is it that when it comes to him, everything is the other way around?

Butler Wang's face is a little ugly. It seems that the other party is determined not to give up any profit.

And he can't use any coercive means for this matter. After all, the young prince seems to attach great importance to him.

Li Yi saw the displeasure on Butler Wang's face and spoke again: "Ruyi Lu and strong liquor are just the beginning. The perfume and soap that Ruyifang is about to launch will have more considerable profits than strong liquor."

Regardless of ancient and modern times, women's money is the easiest to make. A small bottle of Ruyi Lu can make them like this. If they wait until the perfume and soap are launched, I wonder how crazy they will be?

"Are you serious?"

Butler Wang looked up at Li Yi with a fiery look.

The profits from strong liquor have already made him extremely satisfied. If there is a business that is more profitable than this, it will definitely be a great achievement. Perhaps with these achievements, he can be promoted to the chief steward of the palace in his lifetime and reach the peak of his life...

Li Yi looked at Butler Wang and smiled without saying anything.

"Okay, 50% is 50%!"

After thinking for a long time, Butler Wang finally squeezed out these two sentences from his teeth.

In a pleasant and harmonious atmosphere, the two finally decided on the final profit distribution method, which is still 50-50. However, Li Yi must guarantee that if there are any new things in the future, he must first consider cooperating with Ning Wangfu.

In this regard, Li Yi certainly agreed.

Would he be stupid not to hug such a big and thick leg?

The negotiation ended happily, and Li Yi felt much more relaxed. He looked around and found that there were many people gathered on the open space under the grass slope, and he also walked over slowly.

Steward Wang stood there, feeling mixed emotions. After a long while, he sighed, sat down, took a few skewers of meat, brushed them with sauce, and grilled them on the charcoal fire.

A few steps away from him, the naughty children lined up in a long line, with their hands behind their backs, shaking their heads, and walked to Qin Qing one by one, reciting the lessons that the teacher had taught them a few days ago.

"Disciples' Rules, Saints' Instructions, Filial Piety, and then Prudence and Faith.

Love the masses and be close to the benevolent. If you have spare time, then study literature..."

The endless voices made Steward Wang irritable. After a few naughty children recited, even he, who was listening to the side, could recite those dozen sentences. He shook his head and focused his attention back on the food in front of him.

…………

On the flat ground under the grass slope, two figures were moving around quickly.

The guard leader was dissatisfied with losing to Lao Fang in a strength contest last time. When he saw him again this time, he naturally had to get back at him.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to continue competing with Lao Fang in strength. This time, the two of them were competing in boxing and kicking skills.

When Li Yi walked to the sidelines, they were still in an inseparable fight. As the leader of the guard, he was naturally very skilled, but Lao Fang was not a vegetarian. It seemed that the two of them could not tell the difference in a short time. .

On the other side, Li Xuan was holding a piece of barbecue in his hand, staring at the rabbit in Xiao Huan's arms, with an expressive expression on his face.

I don’t know how this rabbit will taste when roasted, but it looks like it will taste good.

Xiaohuan felt his malicious gaze and immediately took a few steps to the side.

"Little maid, how about I use this ingot of silver to buy your rabbit?" Li Xuan took out a ingot of silver from his arms and looked at the little maid and asked.

The little maid knew that he must have bad intentions for wanting this rabbit, but money also attracted her very much. Although her uncle would usually buy her whatever she wanted, she also wanted to save some private money...

As if she had thought of something, a sly look appeared on the little maid's face. She handed the rabbit to a sister next to her, picked up two stones, one large and one small, from the ground, held them in her hand, and raised her arms to At the same height, with palms down, he looked at him Nunuo and said: "If you can guess which stone will fall to the ground first after I let go, I will give you the little rabbit. If you guess wrong, you will lose the money." I."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart. This little girl looked very smart, but unexpectedly she turned out to be stupid... Do you still need to guess for such a simple question?
