Chapter 7 Earning and Losing
His Majesty Li Er kept paced, Wei Chi looked at him with a gaze, and waited for the others to make a decision. This was the helplessness of being a minister, and there was too little autonomy. However, who said that this was a feudal society, with food, drink and status, but there was no freedom. Democracy and freedom are even more irrelevant.
After a long time, Wei Chi was almost asleep. His Majesty Li Er finally spoke: "Where is the price? My army wants your medicine. How much do you want?"
Finally there was a reaction. After no response, Wei Chi was almost turned into a stone. Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he quickly turned out the prepared contract and handed it over respectfully: "Your Majesty, please check it out. I don't want to deceive Your Majesty. This is a cost calculation list for the preparation medicine. Please check it out. Although I will collect your Majesty's money, we will collect it clearly and will not be greedy for a single piece of paper."
This so-called cost accounting list was made by Xie Jiu for help, and it took a lot of effort. Although Xie Jiu can distinguish accounts, she is not a professional accounting person after all. It is one thing to know how to see it, and it is another thing to know how to do it. It is not easy to make this list, and it took her a lot of time.
His Majesty Li Er looked at it carefully, but he couldn't see any changes in his expression, and said, "You did this list?"
Wei Chi shook his head: "Your Majesty, it was made by my wife, and I don't understand cost calculation."
"What you couple... know is interesting."
Wei Chi laughed apologized and didn't know how to answer. His Majesty Li Er said: "According to the 50% of the price you ordered, is it expensive to sell it to the army? Your cost is only 20% of it. If you want 30% of the profits, you need to know that the Tang Dynasty is in ruins and the national treasury is very empty."
After Zhenguan rule, the national treasury is still empty?! Who are you lying to?
Wei Chi coughed and said, "Your Majesty, although it is calculated to be 30% profit, but in fact it is only about 20%. More than 10% is also a cost, but only transportation costs, labor costs, etc.."
"There are so many reasons for the cost? Tell me carefully."
Wei Chi explained in detail and gave His Majesty Li Er a class on popularizing accounting knowledge. In fact, he didn't understand these things very well. He was explained to him when he was at home, and now he copied them to His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er nodded while listening, and asked a question from time to time. He was a little relished. Wei Chi was dumbfounded. Should this contract be signed? Don’t end, the contract was not signed, and His Majesty Li Er’s accounting knowledge has increased.
"Forget it, because you are trying to solve my doubts and doubts, this profit is, but I have a condition."
"Please give me instructions. If I can do it, I will definitely not say anything."
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "You are a cunning Wei Chi, and others have said they go through fire and water to me. If you don't refuse, you will do it. It depends on the situation."
Wei Chi laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I am really honest. I don't boast about it. Sometimes human resources are poor. If you can do what you can and can't do it, there is nothing you can do."
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and said, "My conditions are very simple. Let your wife go to the Ministry of Revenue to tell the officials of the Ministry of Revenue about this so-called accounting knowledge. I will ask the officials of Shaofu Temple to also listen."
Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "It's okay to go to give a lecture, but are those adults willing to listen? Can they listen to the words of women? Your Majesty, my wife has never been wronged."
Wei Chi curled his lips and looked very disdainful. In this Tang Dynasty, although the status of women is not that low, it depends on whether the other party is willing to give lectures to officials from all six ministries. Wei Chi doesn't want Xie Jiu to be wronged.
His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Chi's eyes softer, and smiled and said, "You know how much you love your wife."
Wei Chi refused to let him go: "That's right, the only one who is left in the family is the minister and the wife. If you don't know how to cherish yourself, then you will be really inferior to the pigs and dogs."
His Majesty Li Er smiled and said with nostalgia: "This is similar to Respect and Deity. Back then, the world was settled, and I wanted to give beauty and Respect and Deity. Respect and Deity told me that although my wife is despicable, they have been poor and humble for a long time. Although I have not learned, I heard that the ancients did not change their wives because they were rich and did not change their wives. This was not what I wish. Very good, very good."
Wei Chi saw His Majesty Li Er's appearance that seemed a little emotional, and tentatively said: "I have heard that I have been able to cross the same boat for ten years and have been able to ride a shared bed for a hundred years. It is not easy for a husband and wife to be a husband and wife in the same family. I am not easy for a husband and wife to have children and do housework, and it is not easy for a woman to do it. I am not capable of marrying Xie Jiu, and I am satisfied. I hope that the two of them can live a good life."
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and asked all the guards beside him to go out, leaving only Wei Chi, and said, "If the queen's illness was not the case, you and your wife would be in danger, you might not have been killed long?"
Wei Chi was so scared that he was sweating. Why did he talk about such a dangerous topic?! He carefully looked at His Majesty Li Er's expression, which made His Majesty Li Er smile, slapped him, and said, "What is this! I'm just discussing with you how to get along with husband and wife. There is no one here, just say it."
Wei Chi smiled and nodded: "To be honest, the Queen's illness is very serious and there is no possibility of curing it, so she can only rely on care. The Western medicine has a strong effect. He used heavy medicine to bring back his life, but it damaged the vitality. Herbs and acupuncture are gentle, good at conditioning, and slowly restore the vitality. If one of them is missing, the Queen may..."
I'm afraid something, Wei Chi didn't explain it, either of them understood. His Majesty Li Er sighed slightly, his expression sighed, and stood with his hands behind his back, dazed and dazed.
"Wei Chi, you said you have never let your wife suffer grievances. My queen... Haha, compared to you, I am not as good as me."
Wei Chi smiled again and said, "You can't say that you have never suffered any grievances. There are always times when the couple lives a life. There will be a little grievance, but there should be no grievances. However, this is the speculation of our masters. Women are different from men and have more meticulous thoughts. Perhaps they have grievances, but if they didn't say it out, they should be willing to do so! Wherever you love, you will be willing to suffer some grievances. Your Majesty and the Empress are forgiven for being arrogant. I think that Your Majesty bears the burden of the world, and the Empress leads the harem. There are grievances and difficulties along the way, but because it is Your Majesty, the Empress is also willing to accept it!"
"Is it so sweet?"
His Majesty Li Er murmured to himself, thinking something. Wei Chi stood by silently, secretly speculating. Many people and many things will only make people realize their importance when they are lost. His Majesty Li Er... It is not because Empress Changsun almost died and had an insight? If this is the case, it would be good.
His Majesty Li Er seemed unwilling to talk about this topic again, cheer up and change the topic: "I will send someone from the Ministry of War to sign with you in the contract, just follow the sign on this list. You are not allowed to be fooled. If I let me know who you have fooled, I will settle the score with you!"
"Your Majesty, how dare I, don't worry."
Wei Chi smiled foolishly, and His Majesty Li Er said, "It is because of you that I am not at ease. If it is someone else, I will definitely feel at ease."
Sweat! By the way, can you not establish an honest image? It actually makes His Majesty Li Er so suspicious, reflect! You have to reflect!
