History chat group: I just want to make money

Li Shouren put his hands together and bowed to the end.

Li Chengjiu stood up and began to seriously look at the old man in front of him.

The old man has a ruddy complexion and an elegant manner. His gray hair on the temples is neatly combed under the brim of his hat. Although he is over seventy years old, he is still full of energy.

Can……

Why does the emerald on his head look better?

After coughing dryly, the old man stood up.

"I wonder if President Li is here today because he also wants to try my craftsmanship?"

Li Shouren heard this and smiled and said, "There is no need to say more. I heard from my friends that the Jiangwang barbecue meat is tender, smooth, crispy and delicious. It is definitely a delicacy in the world."

After saying that, he didn’t forget to give a thumbs up.

Li Chengjiu chuckled, "This is not a delicacy, it's just some roasted meat."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of meat skewers from the box and put it on the oven, "You're talented, grill it for President Li, I'll treat you today."

Jia Youcai curled his lips and glanced sideways at him.

When Li Shouren saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said:

"My lord, you don't have to be like this. I'm not here to roast meat, but..."

coming!

Li Chengjiu couldn't help but looked at him with a smile, wanting to see what tricks the old man was going to play.

Seeing that the prince didn't answer anything, Li Shouren could only pretend to sigh:

"Your Majesty, it's just... you suddenly started trading in the market, which is a bit against the rules."

"Oh?" Li Chengjiu pretended to frown, "I wonder where I am violating the rules?"

Okay, since you asked, I won't hide it anymore.

Li Shouren stretched out his right hand and said, "Bring it."

I saw a helper holding up a booklet and placing it in his hands.

He licked his fingers and began to open the book slowly.

"According to my Dayun Law Business Law, I have concluded the following points. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Chengjiu didn't say anything, just raised his hand to let him continue.

Li Shouren was quite particular. He first raised his fists to the sky and then said sternly:

"Article 7 of the Dayun Commercial Law states that if merchants want to engage in business, they must report to the local county government, pass the business document test, and obtain a commercial law certificate before they can go to the local chamber of commerce for unified management."

"Article 24 of the Dayun Commercial Law states that merchants shall not use various means to drive up prices or disrupt the market, but shall sell goods at market prices."

"Article 74 of the Dayun Commercial Law states that merchants are not allowed to buy or sell by force, monopolize the market, or achieve the purpose of illegal profits without regard to the utmost integrity."

After reading the three articles, he handed the booklet back to the boy.

In short, it means that you, Li Chengjiu, operate without a license, drive up prices, and force buying and selling.

But he was very smart. He only mentioned the violation regulations and did not mention the punishment regulations.

He has no official position, so let him punish a prince?

Then he is living impatiently.

After seeing the old man finish speaking, Li Chengjiu nodded and said, "No more?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I will do things according to the rules."

Haha, it’s really like giving chicken feathers as an arrow. Is the president of a chamber of commerce so great now?

Of course, Li Shouren was not really afraid of the prince in front of him.

After four years, if you have money, you will eat, drink and have fun. If you don’t have money, you will just sit and wait to die. It is a complete empty frame. If you have no money and power and cannot use the power well, what else can you do besides having a good father?

It's just a piece of mud that can't hold up the wall.

Therefore, we will not provoke you, and you should not interfere with our interests. If we do not interfere with the river, we will each play our own way, and then we will live in peace.

But now you want to enter our circle and muddy the waters?

Sorry, the prince has to act in accordance with the law.

Okay, now that Dayunlu is suppressing you, do you, a prince, still want to quibble?

When a prince breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people. This is what your father said.

Li Chengjiu touched his hairless chin, thought for a moment and then said:

"President Li, let me ask you, where did this unlicensed operation begin?"

Li Shouren frowned.

What the hell did I just say for nothing?

"Your Majesty, you are operating without a license for profit-making purposes without reporting to the county government."

"Oh, that's it, Xiaozhu, come and tell him."

After waving his hand and taking half a step back to give up his position, Xiaozhu nodded and stepped forward and said:

"The Dayun Law clearly stipulates that only profit-making activities in the form of shops have the right to apply for business ultimatums, and ours does not count."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shouren's heart skipped a beat.

Who would have thought that this unlearned Prince of Xinjiang would actually know this?

Li Chengjiu rubbed Xiaozhu's head, smiled softly, then turned around and said:

"President Li, is this the case?"

Li Shouren's forehead flashed brightly, and he hurriedly saluted:

"Hui Wangye, it is indeed true."

"Then why do you say that this king has violated the law?"

"this……"

Li Shouren was speechless. He only said that the prince was against the rules, but he never said that he broke the law.

If this hat is taken off, can I bear it?

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Li Chengjiu raised his hand and interrupted:

"Okay, let's not talk about the business documents for now. I am only doing a small business here. At most, it is just a matter of paying rent. However, the entire southern Xinjiang belongs to me. Do you want me to pay the rent?

To whom?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Shouren finally couldn't hold back the sweat on his forehead.

This sentence is heart-wrenching to kill people.

how to answer?

Saying no? That means that Southern Xinjiang does not belong to him, Li Chengjiu.

What are you doing? Questioning the prince's ability? Questioning the emperor's decision? Do you still want your head?

Said to be?

Isn’t that just a slap in the face?

A group of people came to question me aggressively, but they were doing business reasonably and legally, and they were doing business according to the law. Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Li Shouren only felt his cheeks getting hot.

He tilted his head and glared fiercely behind, then stammered in fear:

"Yes... I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm old, but I can't remember some things clearly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Chengjiu waved his hand, "It's okay, let's talk about the second point."

"Well?"

"You said that this king is driving up prices and disrupting the market. Where do you start with this?"

"that……"

"Are you trying to say that the price I set for my roasted meat is too high?"

"I don't dare!"

"Thankfully you are still the president of the Chamber of Commerce!"

With an angry shout, Li Shouren suddenly trembled with fright, his feet softened and he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, based on the market standard price of mutton of 200 yuan per catty, your roasted meat is indeed too expensive!"

Li Chengjiu chuckled, "Xiaozhu, bring me the account book."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xiaozhu smiled and handed the account book to the prince.

Li Chengjiu opened the purchase column and said sternly:

"Mutton costs 200 Wen per catty, and one pound of mutton can only be used for six skewers, and the average cost per skewer is 35 Wen."

He put the ledger together and continued to ask:

"I would like to ask you, how much does the fine salt in southern Xinjiang cost?"

"this……"

"I asked someone to transport cumin and chili peppers from tens of thousands of miles away. Isn't it free of charge for tolls? No charge for customs duties?"

"this……"

"Also, we people are so busy here, don't we need to pay for labor?"

"This this……"

"Then you can calculate for me, how much profit do I have left?"

Li Chengjiu was so aggressive that Li Shouren was speechless when he asked.

How do you ask him to calculate this? He has never even seen chili pepper and cumin.

"Your Majesty, make atonement! I am too reckless!"

It's rare that Li Chengjiu didn't let this old boy get up. The key is that he looked too irritating.

"Since what I am doing is not price gouging, then tell me, how do I buy and sell by force?"

Li Shouren was already sweating profusely. When he heard the prince mentioned the third item again, he turned his head and pursed his lips behind him, thinking: "Damn, it's your turn!"

Zhang Baoguo hid behind the crowd and saw that the situation was different from what he expected.

When I saw the president calling me, my heart twisted.

But at this moment, there was no room for him to think.

Finally, I had to wipe the sweat from my forehead and walked out slowly.
