Ji Tang

Chapter 562 It’s quite exciting to think about it!

"It's incredible. Who would have thought that the area south of Jiaozhou would be so wealthy!"

In the cabin, when Li Chengqian and Wei Zheng heard the details of Ji Song's journey south, they felt incredible!

In less than half a month, the Jiangdong family managed to bring back immeasurable wealth.

When he heard that two hundred ships worth more than a thousand stones were filled with wealth, even Wei Zheng was shocked and speechless for a long time.

Not to mention Li Chengqian, the prince who was tightly controlled by his eldest grandson, the money he usually received every year was only [-] guan.

Knowing that the Jiangdong family was making a lot of money, he immediately became jealous. If he didn't take his status into consideration, he would have to snatch it away.

"They have put in a lot of effort this time. If it weren't for the temptation of huge profits, would they have been able to gather so many ships worth more than a thousand stones?"

"I will discuss this matter with Your Majesty. The matter ends here. This is what they deserve."

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said in a calm voice: "Brother Song is right. If they hadn't provided the ships, how much food could these thirteen ships have brought back?"

Wei Zheng also nodded and said: "Yes, I will also inform your Majesty about this matter. I believe that your Majesty will not only focus on this petty profit."

"However, is it too little for you to promise them to hand over [-]% of their future wealth?"

"According to my opinion, at least half of it will be obtained. In this way, they will also take advantage of it!"

Ji Song was speechless. Is this how the account was settled?

"Uncle Wei, have you ever thought about it, if they risk their lives but have to hand over half of their wealth, in the long run, they will be convinced?"

Li Chengqian also felt that it was a bit lacking. The route belonged to the imperial court and was escorted by the imperial court. They just went to pick up things and took advantage of everything.

"What? How dare they refuse to give it? Do you really think the court is easy to talk to?"

Ji Song's head was full of black lines, and he just wanted to find out what the hell was going on in these two people's heads.

Still fifty percent?Even Ji Song thought it was too much.

"That's not how the accounts are calculated. They have to sell the things when they bring them back. Only when they are exchanged for real money will they be considered real wealth."

"In this process there are labor costs, transportation costs, operating costs, and even the possibility of losing all your money."

"Calculated in this way, it would be good if the final net profit of the [-]% in their hands can be half of its own value, but it will take a lot of time."

"But the imperial court doesn't care about this. As soon as they arrive at the port and evaluate the value, they will immediately pay [-]% to the imperial court as tax."

"After all, there are also transaction taxes and so on. After all, the imperial court took the big advantage."

After hearing this, Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian glanced at each other without any trace, but immediately looked away.

"Well, since you have agreed, then go directly to His Majesty, but there is no need to tell too many people about this."

Ji Song glanced at the two of them with disdain. Was he trying to gain a profit or gain a good reputation?

"Cough cough!"

Li Chengqian was shy after all, so he changed the subject and said, "This time my father sent me and Prime Minister Wei to assist you in disaster relief. Wherever you need manpower, just arrange it directly. Don't be polite!"

Ji Song rolled his eyes, why don't you be polite?
The key is what can you do?
But since the imperial court sent people, including the prince Li Chengqian, Ji Song understood what the emperor meant.

This time the credit was too great. The prince was sent to win people's hearts on behalf of the royal family.

Okay, I'm an eyesore, I don't care if that's okay, he's annoying anyway. "Since His Majesty has a decree, and Uncle Wei is the disaster relief ambassador and has full authority to represent the imperial court, then the next thing will be left to you. If you have any questions, just ask Yao Chang and Liu Zhan directly."

"I will instruct them to fully cooperate with you."

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Ji Song didn't seem to be joking anymore, he hesitated and said, "You really choose to let go? Do you know that this credit is not small?"

Ji Song smiled brightly: "Contribution? Is your credit too small? You can just work with peace of mind. I really don't want to do it anymore."

"You damn girl wants this girl to marry me. If you stay here any longer, you will be eaten by them."

Seeing Ji Song cursing, both Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian thought of the scene just now, smiled in their hearts, and felt a lot more relieved.

Li Chengqian has always been straightforward, but he is worried in his heart. This blatant picking of fruits will cause a gap between him and Brother Song, which is not worth the gain!
Having been with his father all day long, he was very aware of Ji Song's status in his father's heart. If he hadn't known about Ji Song's origin, he would have thought he was his father's illegitimate son!

Over the years, he gradually learned about the help he gave his father. Logically speaking, he should have been given the title of Duke a long time ago.

But not only did his father not give it to him, he also kept picking his fruits. Whether it was matters related to the Agriculture Department or the grassland, he seemed a little careless!

However, as I grew older, I gradually understood what my father was thinking. He was planning to leave Brother Song to himself!
Otherwise, if you already have the title of Duke, how will you be granted the title?
Another meaning is to protect him. First of all, Brother Song is too young, and he is only in his 20s now.

As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind; if it is piled up on the bank, it will be turbulent in the current.

The title of a Founding County Marquis is just right. Although it is considered top-notch, it is not so conspicuous because there are so many princes sitting on it.

At this time, Ji Song seemed to have thought of something and said to Li Chengqian: "You are here to represent the royal family, so naturally you have to make a difference. Just coming is not enough. You have to let everyone know you."

Li Chengqian was stunned: "Then what should I do?"

Ji Song touched the short beard on his chin and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he whispered in his ear.

"Like this, you will be like this tomorrow. Like this"

"What? Let me go. Don't do it. Don't do anything. How can I do this?"

Wei Zheng looked at the two of them curiously, wondering what Ji Song said that made Li Chengqian react so strongly?

Ji Song put his arm around Li Chengqian's shoulders and said, "Don't want to do it? Believe it or not, I will report to His Majesty right now to see if he agrees."

Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Ask just ask. Anyway, it takes a long time to come and go. When the time comes."

But when he saw Ji Song's smiling expression, he was suddenly startled. Then his pupils dilated and he pointed at Ji Song's nose and said tremblingly: "You use falconry to pass messages?"

'Snapped! '

Ji Song snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "How about it? Are you going?"

"Ying Da Ying Er is here now. He has nothing to do anyway, so I'll bother them to go over."

Li Chengqian's expression changed a few times, and he said harshly: "Just go, no big deal."

Seeing that he agreed, Ji Song said happily: "That's right. What a great opportunity to win people's hearts. It's a pity to miss it. If His Majesty was here, he would have gone long ago. Can we wait until now?"

Li Chengqian was so angry that he couldn't do anything about Ji Song.

The falcon training can be completed in less than two days. If the father knew about this, he would probably agree immediately. It would be better to take the initiative on his own.

After thinking about it in my mind, I no longer care about face. It's quite exciting to think about it.
