Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 78 Li Tai’s visit
"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I heard that you are going to start a paper-making business with those dandies. I wonder if the fourth brother can take a share." Li Taijian and Li Shen were not so enthusiastic and simply got straight to the point.
"Of course you can do it. There is money in the business and we can make it together. Then I don't know how much the fourth brother will pay in shares." Li Shen said with a smile.
"I heard that your workshop hasn't been built yet. The investment is only [-] guan. Let's see, you and I are both brothers. I will give you [-] guan, and I only want [-]% of the dividend." Li Tai said generously.
"Oh. Fourth brother may not know, but the share sharing is like this. My money and technology account for [-]% of the dividend, [-]% of which has been given to my mother. The remaining [-]% belongs to these noble children. In other words, I only have three layers in my hand now." Li Shen didn't expect that Li Tai was here to take advantage.
"Tenth brother, I will provide [-] yuan to build the workshop, which means that none of you need to contribute any money. You will be able to share the dividends. Why not do it." Li Tai persuaded Li Shen.
"Fourth brother, then why don't you build your own workshop and enjoy the profits alone. We are just working in a small way. We are just making some money to go to Pingkangfang," Li Shen replied.
"Tenth brother, isn't it because we are brothers? Why are you playing with those dandies? Why don't you give them money for free? It's better for you and I to partner together and we will get half of it." Li Tai persuaded Li Shen to get rid of those dandies.
"Fourth brother, I have already signed a contract with them, how can I go back on my word and break my word?" Li Shen refused.
"How about this. Give me [-]% of what you have in your hand, and you still have [-]% of what the concubine has. It's not bad that you can get [-]% of the bonus without paying any money," Li Tai said confidently.
"What the fourth brother means is to pay [-] yuan and ask for [-]% of the profits of the paper mill, right?" Li Shen asked Li Taifa
"Yes, this ten thousand yuan should be enough, and you don't need to pay."
"That is to say, the fourth brother wants to use 30 guan in exchange for the annual dividend of at least [-] guan from the paper mill." Li Shen said seriously
"30 guan? Tenth brother. How can it be 30 guan." Li Tai knew that Li Shen's business was profitable. But I don’t believe it’s so profitable.
"I'm talking about at least 30 guan. When there are more scholars in the world in the future, there will be more. Fourth brother wants to exchange 30 guan for a bonus of [-] guan. I don't think it's appropriate." After Li Shen finished speaking, he picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. . He didn't say anything and just looked at Li Tai.
"Then tell me how much is appropriate. I want three layers of bonuses," Li Tai thought for a while and said. He didn't think Li Shen was joking.
"You and I are brothers. 150 million is enough. I'll give you three levels of bonuses. Otherwise, it's 300 million."
"150 million???" Li Tai's eyes almost popped out of his head. This Li Shen is really a lion, let alone 150 million yuan. He doesn't even have 15 yuan.
"Old Shi, you are too open-mouthed. 150 million yuan. Who can buy shares?" Li Tai said to Li Shen with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
"Fourth brother, I'm not asking you for more. You must know that 150 million guan will be paid back in five years. From now on, there will be at least 30 guan in dividends every year. Believe it or not, I went to Aye to sell the shares. Aye will ask the Ministry of Accounts immediately. Buy it for 200 million yuan." Li Shen said to Li Tai innocently with his hands spread out.
"It's too much. The fourth brother can't afford the money. Lao Shi, why don't you give me a little less? Just be my helping brother."
"Fourth brother, the rules are the rules. Now I have violated the contract and roped you in. What else do you want? Do you want to take those shares without spending money?" Li Shen said a little unhappy.
"Tenth brother. We are brothers. My brother is having a hard time now. When he becomes brilliant in the future, he will definitely repay you." Li Tai complained to Li Shen and played the emotional card.
"Then fourth brother, if the eldest brother comes tomorrow, he will also ask me for the fifth-level bonus. You tell me whether I will give it or not." Li Shen wasn't angry either. Just look at Li Tai like this
"Of course I can't give it to you." Li Tai blurted out
"Haha, fourth brother, drink tea. Let's have dinner at my house today. I told you that my house has just developed a delicious dish." Li Shen chuckled.
Li Tai was anxious when Li Shen changed the subject. He asked: "Old Shi, you should tell the fourth brother whether it is successful or not."
"Fourth brother, you and I will not come back today unless we are drunk. Uncle Fugui is preparing lunch." Li Shen smiled and told Li Shen but did not answer.
Seeing Li Shen's behavior, Li Tai knew that Li Shen disagreed, so he stood up and said, "No, I have something to do later. I hope you can come over and help me, Old Ten."
"Fourth brother, you and the eldest brother are both my brothers. I respect you two very much. I just want to be an idle prince." Li Shen originally wanted to say why should I help you. But in the end, I still didn’t say it.
Seeing Li Shen refuse. Li Tai still wanted to persuade. Li Shen took the lead and said: "Fourth brother, I know you may have been bewitched by the family and thought you still had a chance. Or maybe Aye gave you a wrong signal to make you think you still had a chance. But I can tell you You, you have no chance. Forget it. You are not suitable to be an emperor. Your literary talent is so good, why not concentrate on your studies. You can still leave your name in history. Go back to your fiefdom as soon as possible. I can't even go back even if I want to."
"I just don't accept why I can't sit in that seat. Why is it that my eldest brother is destined to sit in that seat? I think I am better than my eldest brother." Li Tai said loudly
"The authorities are obsessed with it, and it's useless to talk too much. Fourth brother, take care of yourself. I won't get involved with you. In a few years, when I become an adult. Once I have children, I will go out to travel and enjoy the scenery of the Tang Dynasty. Read them all again." Li Shen didn't want to tell Li Taiduo
"Tenth brother is really free and easy. Fourth brother, I wish you can achieve your wish as soon as possible. Farewell." After saying that, Li Tai left. Li Shen was sent to the gate. Looking at Li Tai's back, he felt a little sad. I wonder if Li Tai’s final fate will change.
Li Tai returned to the palace and summoned representatives from various aristocratic families in the evening. As soon as he sat down, Cui Renzhi couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, are you asking if Prince Ji can really make paper?"
Li Tai calmly recounted the story of his visit to Li Shen's house today. Then he asked everyone present: "What do you think about this? I think since Lao Shi dares to say that the three-tier shares will receive a dividend of 30 yuan, it should not be without purpose."
"I also think it's true," Lu Chengqing said
"But if it is true, then it will be a disaster. This is digging into the foundation of our family. In ten or twenty years, we may not have many people in the court." Wang Weiqi of the Wang family said anxiously
"We have to find a way for now" Cui Inzhi thought while stroking his beard.
"What way? There is no way. A profit of one million yuan a year. Who can give up, let alone contribute to the scholars of the Tang Dynasty and gain both fame and wealth. The most important thing is that His Majesty will not agree to King Ji giving up." As the counselor of Li Tai's family, Wei Ting has been seen to be unstoppable.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to let this happen? I think since you all can't think of any opinions, we will report it to the clan truthfully. Let the clan leader make the decision. We definitely can't stop it now. Unless..." Wang Weitu made a chopping gesture with his hand
"You're crazy!! This must not be done. If it was done by ordinary people, it would be done. But this is the prince. If we don't find out the truth, where is the royal family's face? And your majesty doesn't need to check at all, you can just say it's us The aristocratic families did it. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to get rid of two or three families. We can't gamble. It's not worth sacrificing the lives of tens of thousands of people in the whole family." Wei Ting was the first to stand up and disagree. Killing a prince has been a major event since ancient times. The emperor will not care if brothers kill each other. But if the prince is assassinated, it will lead to revenge from the royal family. In the early days of Zhenguan, there were still many royal relatives who had real power and military power. The Millennium Family has a large population, and many people do not know each other. In this era, there were many wives and concubines and many children. It grows geometrically over several generations. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of people in the aristocratic family. It's not worth going in for Li Shen.
"Of course you can do it. There is money in the business and we can make it together. Then I don't know how much the fourth brother will pay in shares." Li Shen said with a smile.
