The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 155: Pulling His Majesty into the Water

The emperor founded the country more than eleven years ago because of the internal treasury problem.

Until now, I haven’t dared to make any major renovations to the palace.

The cavalry needs horses, fodder and various supplies and equipment, and the infantry needs military pay.

The fortress towers on the border require a large amount of silver to be repaired every year...

What the emperor is short of now is silver!

"Well, Your Majesty, this is just Wei Chen's estimate."

"If the business is doing well, it will not be affected by others."

"And it can also open up trade routes from various countries. Your Majesty's profits will be even greater."

Duan Chun replied thoughtfully.

"Duan Chun, you have to tell me about this matter in detail."

"Come, sit here with me and talk in detail."

The emperor had no intention of continuing to check the gifts at this time.

He just wanted to find out, what on earth did this kid do?

How can you help me earn so much money?

"Your Majesty, let's talk while we eat."

"Eunuch Li, take all this food away."

"Let Your Majesty try the new food prepared by Wei Chen."

Duan Chun said with a smile.

"Just do what this kid says."

"I want to see what kind of treasure you come up with."

The emperor nodded and said.

"My slave obeys the order."

Li Gaofu waved his whisk, and the servants guarding the door hurried in.

Take away all the food on the table.

Duan Chun smiled and walked to a wooden box and took one out from inside.

"Mr. Li, just ask someone to bring a basin of water."

Duan Chun smiled.

"Slave, I obey."

Li Gaofu didn't know what the young man wanted to do, but he still obeyed his orders.

The emperor looked curiously at this strange copper pot that he had never seen before.

Duan Chun placed the copper pot on the table in front of him, and then went back to get a stone slab from the box.

He placed the copper pot as a mat and took out the glass bowls filled with sauces and seasonings from the box.

By this time, the waiter had brought a basin of water.

After Duan Chun took it, he started to get busy...

As the charcoal in the copper pot ignites, the clear soup bubbles and bubbles.

Duan Chun then turned around and ran to the wooden box, and took out stacks of mutton slices that had been prepared long ago.

The emperor's eyes widened.

He has been waiting for Duan Chun's performance to see what tricks this kid can come up with.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a few plates of meat.

Duan Chun put the meat into the copper pot and quickly prepared two bowls of sauce.

Then he took the chopsticks, took out the cooked mutton, put it into the bowl, and stirred it carefully.

"Your Majesty, how do you like it?"

Duan Chun said with a smile.

"You better come first, slave."

Li Gaofu took the chopsticks that were simply handed to His Majesty the Emperor.

His mission is to help His Majesty taste any food he eats and make sure it is not poisonous before he can rest assured.

Duan Chun smiled and said nothing, watching Li Gaofu stuffing two pieces of mutton into his mouth.

After just chewing twice, the look on his face became extremely surprised...

"Gao Fu, what's going on?"

The emperor asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, this kind of meat made by the young master..."

“The taste is fresh and tender, with a long aftertaste.”

"This is the first time this slave has tasted such delicious food!"

Li Gaofu quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth and said excitedly.

But his eyes were fixed on the mutton churning in the copper pot, his eyes full of surprise.

"Oh, let me have a taste."

The emperor then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat.

Under Duan Chun's guidance, it was covered with sauce and then put into the mouth to taste.

After one sip, the emperor's eyes widened instantly...

"The taste is really fresh and tender!"

"I haven't asked about my appetite for food for a long time."

"After one bite, my appetite will be greatly increased!"

The emperor was surprised and quickly stretched out his chopsticks to scoop up the remaining meat in the pot.

"Your Majesty, if it tastes good, please eat more."

Duan Chun stood aside, holding a meat plate, and kept adding mutton into the pot.

The emperor ate and fished as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights.

"Young Master, please let me serve your Majesty."

Li Gaofu smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Okay, thank you, Manager Li."

Duan Chun happened to have other things to do, so he asked Li Gaofu to serve His Majesty's meal.

Turn around and walk to each wooden box.

Bring the remaining glassware to His Majesty one by one...

The emperor looked extremely satisfied and nodded without delaying his enjoyment of the food.

Duan Chun took out the hot pot and iron pot and introduced the future market conditions of the three pots to His Majesty.

The emperor quickly put down his chopsticks and looked at Duan Chun in surprise.

"Boy, you have three kinds of pots and pans with this glass."

"How much can you make in a year?"

the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, these three types of pots have been waiting for me for a long time."

"And Uncle Cheng En and other subordinates of my father will start cooperating."

"The Shouhou family has begun the business of preparing the copper pot that His Majesty is tasting."

"As for the iron pot and hot pot, Weichen still plans to let Weichen's father's old department manage them."

"There are still some things that Wei Chen is not ready for yet."

"That's why I didn't bring it into the palace for His Majesty's inspection today."

"But what Weichen wants to say is that Weichen plans to give His Majesty a dividend from these businesses."

Duan Chun said with a smile and cupped his fists.

"I am the emperor, how can I compete with the people for profit?"

"You just do your own business."

The emperor said in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, you know everything about my family."

"I only have my father, mother and young sister as my closest relatives."

"And I like to play with some strange things."

"If I want to make money, I'm afraid I'll be targeted by others before I make it in this imperial city."

Duan Chun said seriously, clasping his fists.

His words immediately made the emperor's eyes light up.

He understood what Duan Chun was worried about.

I didn't expect that Duan Ning, a simple guy with a straightforward personality, would have such a smart boy.

"You are the prince of Changguo, and your father is my most trusted old brother."

"If you want to make money by trading goods, who in my world dares to be your enemy?"

The emperor asked deliberately.

"Your Majesty, if I am being plotted against in business."

"Can I dispatch my father's cavalry guards to teach them a lesson?"

Duan Chun asked.

"Nonsense!"

"The Cavalry Guard is my Dakang Corps."

"They are responsible for defending the territory and expanding the borders."

"How can they be sent to bully others at will?"

The emperor's face changed and he said coldly.

"Your Majesty is right."

"I can't dispatch the Cavalry Guard to help protect my business."

"What should I do?"

Duan Chun asked with a smile.

"You are a smooth talker."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

The emperor knew in his heart that Duan Chun was going to ask him for help.

But such words could not be spoken by his Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have brought many gifts to see you this time."

"I just want to cooperate with your Majesty's inner court."

"Register all my properties under the name of the inner court."

"From now on, they will belong to your Majesty."

"I will transfer 30% of the dividends to the inner treasury, and your Majesty will handle it at your discretion."

"Of course, I will never do anything that violates the law."

"Pay all the taxes that should be paid to the Ministry of Revenue."

Duan Chun said seriously.
