Chapter 1244: Wanted to Take More Shares but Missed the Opportunity

"I'm making less money. I'm going to discuss it with my brothers in Hangzhou." Lan Bao thought he was at a disadvantage because Li Yi asked him for money.

He also wanted to agree that Li Yi saved his mother.

He was going to give up his share and tell others to repay Li Yi's kindness.

"Less? How can people who do business with me make less money? I'll give you toilet water, soap, and small mirrors to sell. Which one makes less money?"

"You silly child." The old lady slapped her son on the head.

"Li Dongzhu owes you a little money? Li Dongzhu donated money, count it as 100,000 strings." The old lady was very disappointed.

She lived in Li's manor for so long and saw how Liang Zhanggui and others made money.

There were also Yu Huaide and others who went to trade in farther places this year and exchanged a lot of things.

They were embarrassed to talk to Li Dongzhu if their net worth was less than 10,000 strings.

How many big businessmen wanted to do business with Li Dongzhu but couldn't?

"Yes, mother, I think it was wrong." Lan Bao hurried to apologize.

He knew that toilet water, soap, and small mirrors were good things to make money.

If they could be sold to Japan, the price would be high, and with the participation of Yulin Flying Cavalry, the safety issue would be guaranteed.

"This trade route is for you, Lord. Can you read?"

Li Yi wanted to maintain the sea route, and it was more convenient to have a familiar place than an unfamiliar place.

Lan Bao shook his head. Where could he learn to read?

"I'll send someone to teach you to read. You can't be an official without reading." Li Yi solved this problem.

"Can a Lord be an official?" Lan Bao didn't understand again.

Then he was slapped on the head again: "Are you stupid, kid? Lord is a Lord, and an official is an official. Li Dongzhu arranged an official for you."

"Li Dongzhu said that if I can be an official, I can...ah, I know, mother." Lan Bao thought of a group of prime ministers coming to eat crabs.

When they talked to Li Yi, they seemed to have taken advantage of Li Yi. But if you think about it carefully, you know that they are joking.

Why didn't the prime minister joke with him? No, when he first saw me, he didn't talk to me at all, but he talked to my mother.

Knowing who I am, he encouraged me again.

Knowing the prime minister, it should be easy to arrange an official position.

"Li Dongzhu, I have to trouble you to talk to the prime ministers about the official position." Lan Bao was very embarrassed?

"Ah? Talk to the prime minister? Oh! It's okay to say it, the key is that you don't have this official position now, I have to think about what kind of official position it is."

Li Yi found the problem, what official position should be arranged for Lan Bao?

It's called diplomacy, but he is doing business.

If it belongs to the Ministry of Commerce, it is the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue has external functions and does not include business.

That should be regarded as the Ministry of Revenue directly under the guidance of the economic exchange between the Tang Dynasty and Japan, and the administrative agency's attempt to expand the tertiary industry.

This situation has happened to him at that time.

At that time, the country vigorously promoted the tertiary industry, and the government had cars and channels to buy things from other places at low prices.

For example, apples, a car of big apples, were sold at the local farmers' market.

People in government departments received dividends, and the dividends were different according to their levels.

After selling it a few times, the big boss found out that it could actually make money, so why should it be shared with others?

So the business failed, but in fact it was still being operated under this name, but the money had all been earned...

Later, the state issued an order saying that it was not allowed, and the business of selling apples was transferred to the leader's relatives to operate.

Li Yi knew that the country was like that at that time, with endless tigers and flies to be swatted.

For example, in the current Tang Dynasty, the prefectures and counties outside, it is indeed possible to find clean officials.

For example, Zhang Jiuling, he had no problems, at least he was not corrupt.

When the road was being built, he was personally on the front line, helping to see how it was built, and being both an official and a technician.

There were also local officials who had many families and could not eat enough, so they would borrow money to buy food and pay it back after receiving their salaries.

Now they don't have to pay it back, and the salary has been increased. A part of the rent is given, and 10 million strings are taken out separately.

For greedy people, doubling it is meaningless.

For non-corrupt officials, it can solve a big problem.

The yamen runners in Chang'an and the two counties received three or four times the salary, and they would help the common people find chickens when they were short of chickens.

"Wait a minute, I'll go over and ask what kind of official position I should give you." Li Yi put down his chopsticks and went to the private room next to him.

As soon as he entered, everyone was suddenly quiet.

"Let me tell you the situation. Lan Bao opened up the trade route from Hangzhou to Nantian Town in Japan. I want to give him a meritorious official and a real official.

In terms of trade, I take 30%, the court takes 50%, and he and the people in Hangzhou take 20%.

The meritorious official is ready, and I'm thinking of putting the real official under the Ministry of Revenue.

Call it the Third Industry Economic and Trade Exchange Guidance Office, and let him be the director, seventh rank.

It will be under the vertical jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, and will not be controlled by the local government."

Li Yi looked around and explained his intention.

"I don't agree. Won't it be under your control at that time? You take 30%, they take 20%, and the court can only take 50%, which is not acceptable."

Bi Gou was the first to object, he thought it was too little.

Li Yi looked at the other ministers, who all nodded. In their opinion, Lan Bao should not be given dividends, but a salary would be fine.

Li Yi nodded: "Okay, we really shouldn't cause trouble to the court."

Turning his head, he said to Li Longji: "Third brother, set up a Tang Dynasty Royal Overseas Grace Group, with Lan Bao as the group leader and a fifth-rank official.

The royal family will take 50%, I will take 30%, and Lan Bao and his team will take 20%. Do you think it's okay? I promised Lan Bao that I would give him a powerful official position."

"Okay, let's do it." Li Longji agreed.

Li Yi turned around quickly, changed his steps, and dodged.

The others were still silent, dumbfounded, kicked for a disagreement?

"Longze, how can you act so recklessly?"

Song Jing quit, the court's money was gone, replaced by the emperor's private treasury.

He blamed Bi Gou, who just said no.

"You didn't nod?" Bi Gou retorted.

Su Yan was also annoyed: "It's a matter of a seventh-rank official, now it's good, 50% of the profit is gone, Li Yi does business, how much money can 50% profit make?"

"Does this money pay taxes?" Bi Gou thought about business and taxation.

"Even if it's tax, 30% tax is more, or 50% profit is more? Longze, you're messing up." Song Jing still felt distressed.

"Go to Xiaoyi and tell him that I'm messing up, I can't do it." Bi Gou turned his face away.

"You don't have to do this, my lords. I'll explore the way first to see if I can make money. If I lose money, I'll take it."

Li Longji didn't want Song Jing to go looking for it. I can only get what you opposed. Do you want to regret it?

"Did you notice that Li Yi's temper is getting worse and worse? How can he act like this?" Yao Chong instigated and said bad things about Li Yi.

"The ability to make money and the technology that benefits the country and the people have increased more." Li Chengqi targeted Yao Chong.

"Why can't our court send a fleet to trade? Why do we have to partner with Li Yi?" Liu Youqiu was disgusted with Li Yi's attitude.

A group of people lowered their heads to eat crabs. Oh, this fried crab tastes good, and there is more meat in the sea crab.

Drink another sip of rice wine and feel comfortable all over.
