Chapter 201 Signing a contract with the emperor
Ecstasy was the first feeling that Liu Yi burst into his heart after hearing Su An's words.
Originally, when he gave advice to the old man Su Bingren, he had this kind of thought. Although Li Shimin was a wise ruler, he was still alone after all, and a well-educated and noble person who paid great attention to everything. He must have some taboos for things like Ye Xiang.
This is like asking a famous scholar to shake hands with a Ye Xianglang. Even if Ye Xianglang washes his hands very clean and even smells fragrant, the scholar will feel awkward in his heart. This is a psychological problem.
Liu Yi sent Li Dechen and Weng Yu back to the field, led Liu Wuchen and Su An back home. He still had some questions about opening a workshop and asked Su An for advice.
"Relevant officials from Sanyuan and Chang'an will work hard to cooperate with Mr. Wang," Su An sat down on the side of the living room at Liu Yi's invitation and spoke to Liu Yi's specific matters: "As long as the gentleman finds a venue in these two places and sets up the workshop, people will send the raw materials to Mr. Wang every day. Moreover, before Mr. Wang's workshop cannot operate normally, these raw materials are free."
Su An was also a farmer and had no taboos about these fertilizers. He glanced at Liu Yiyi, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then said, "Our old man asked the young man to tell the gentleman that this time, he just kept worrying. No matter how the teacher will open this workshop in the future, no matter how the teacher will start this workshop, no one will come to compete with the gentleman again. Moreover, if the gentleman can use this to promote this farm fertilizer in the Tang Dynasty, he will thank him very much."
Oh? Liu Yi's eyes lit up. There was no problem in building the workshop and promoting it. But what he was worried about was whether others would be jealous after doing it, and whether the court would be jealous, just like the previous "Liu Family Lifang". Will someone be forced to recruit him at the beginning?
Liu Yiuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, looked up at Su An, and said, "I want me to open a workshop, yes, but Liu has several conditions. If he cannot meet it, Liu would rather not do this business."
"Mr. Liu, please speak. If it is reasonable, I think our old man will not reject Mr. Xu." Su An put down the tea bowl and said softly at Liu Yi.
Before he came, Su Bingren told him that if the Liu family boy had any requests, as long as it was not outrageous, just agree to him first and let him start the workshop as soon as possible.
"First of all, whether it is now or in the future, I have the exclusive right to operate such workshops. Unless I agree, no outsiders must come to handle such similar workshops again." Monopoly is an effective means for an industry to develop rapidly.
Su An nodded gently. If it were other industries, it might not work, but Mr. Liu was just worried about Ye Xiang. No one could hide in such a workshop, so no one would come to compete with him again.
"Secondly, all the raw materials, whether now or in the future, can only be sold to me as a workshop, and must not be sold privately." Raw materials are the basis of everything. If the raw materials are not controlled well, how can we talk about monopoly and development in the future?
Su An nodded again. This is also very reasonable. Anyway, Ye Xiang in major towns and military bases is now dumped and buried. No one will ask for it, so it would be okay to give it to Mr. Liu.
"Again, the price of raw materials, whether now or in the future, cannot exceed one barrel or one cent." Cost control is also an indispensable part of a workshop.
This is even more problematic. Su An glanced at Liu Yiyi. Don’t he know that even if he didn’t have money, the old man and the emperor would provide him with raw materials continuously?
"Finally," Liu Yiuan looked at Su An and said, "That is the most important point. I want to sign a written contract for it and write all the above terms on it. Both parties must sign and write it."
"What?" Su An's expression changed, and he stood up suddenly, looking at Liu Yi with disbelief, and said, "Mr. Liu, are you joking? Let the emperor, the emperor, sign and draw a picture for you? Are you afraid of your life? This one doesn't work, it's definitely not possible!"
Su An's tone was very firm. Liu Yiu really dared to think about anything. He was a common landlord and a merchant. He wanted to sign and revise the contract with the emperor. Isn't this impatient living? The old man would never agree.
"Haha," Liu Yi chuckled, took another sip of tea as if nothing had happened, put the tea bowl on the table, looked at Su An, and said, "Butler Su is a little worried. The emperor is a wise king of all ages, and his thoughts will not be the same as ordinary people. Even if the emperor does not want to sign a contract with a commoner like me, he will definitely not blame him. Don't worry about Liu."
"Wuchen, go and prepare some pens, ink, paper, and inkstone. Liu wants to write two contracts in person, and the housekeeper Lao Su will take them back to Chang'an City." Liu Yi turned his head and ordered Liu Wuchen beside him.
"Yes, young master." Liu Wuchen nodded and responded, then turned around and went to the inside of the living room.
After two breaths, he took out the pen and ink from it and spread it flat on the table in front of Liu Yi.
Liu Yi stood up, thought for a moment, dipped his pen ink, and wrote down his pen and wrote in detail, and then wrote down his name, Liu Yi, at the signature of each contract.
"Well," Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, picked up the two-point contract, blew it lightly, and when the ink traces were all dried up, he folded the contract and put it in the bamboo tube that conveyed the letter.
"I'll let Mr. Su leave this to Mr. Su. Whether to do it or not, everything will be decided by him. Anyway, Liu can do it or not for the matter of the Night Fragrance Workshop. If it really doesn't work, there is no need to force it." Liu Yi smiled and handed the bamboo tube to Su An, and said to him.
I wonder if this is a threat? Su An glanced at Liu Yiyi and was very helpless towards this brave young man.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the old man will definitely bring Mr. Liu's words, but the old man cannot guarantee what consequences these words will bring to the gentleman. Mr. Liu is careful." Su An took the message tube with both hands, put it in his arms, and then bent over and said goodbye to Liu Yi.
His purpose for this trip has been achieved. Although it is somewhat unsatisfactory, the following things are not something that he, a little housekeeper, can decide.
"Young Master," After sending Su An out of the house, Liu Wuchen returned to the living room again. Seeing that Liu Yi was still drinking tea there, he came up to talk to Liu Yi: "What kind of contract do you really want to sign with the emperor?"
Liu Wuchen's face was also a little surprised. Although he had heard of Liu Yi's deeds in Chang'an City early in the morning, Liu Yi's actions were too bold, right? Where did he do this? Isn't he afraid that the emperor would be so angry that he would punish him for his disrespectful crime of disrespect for the emperor's disrespect?
"That's natural," Liu Yipeng put the tea bowl on the table, looked at Liu Wuchen, and said fearlessly: "Only in this way can we have a guarantee. Only when doing things can we have no worries. Otherwise, we will have no intention of doing things."
Liu Yi still attaches great importance to Yexiang workshop. It has no proletarian example and has a good prospect. If it can be monopolized, he is confident that it will develop into a large workshop no less than the "Liu Family Lifang". The profits in it are very large.
Therefore, he must handle some things properly before the matter begins, otherwise he will be too late to talk about them later. To be honest, Liu Yiu is not very optimistic about Li Shimin's character. He always wants to do those business that makes money by making money. How can he succeed?
"But," Liu Wuchen wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Liu Yiwai.
"I know what you are going to say?" Liu You chuckled and said, "You are worried that the emperor will blame me and punish me for being disrespectful, right?"
"Haha," seeing Liu Wuchen nodding, Liu Yiu shook his head lightly again and said with a smile: "The emperor is the lord of the nine fives. His belly and spirit will not be so small. Otherwise, how could there be Pei Ju in this court, and how could there be a loyal minister like Wei Zheng and a counselor who exists?"
In fact, there is one thing that Liu Yi did not say, that is, just because of his kindness to Empress Changsun and Li Chengqian, Li Shimin would not easily punish him. You should know that Li Minmin in history was not an ungrateful person.
Although doing this has a little bit of arrogance and arrogance, Liu Yiu believes that as long as he does not do too much, Li Shimin will not really lock him up.
Moreover, doing so will leave a bad impression on Li Shimin. In the future, Li Shimin will not always think of him.
There is a saying that doesn’t mean? You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. It feels bad to be kept thinking about it, especially if you are thinking about it by someone like Li Shimin, there will be no good things.
"Young Master said yes." Liu Wuchen nodded slightly, but the expression on his face was not very good.
