It's over, of course. If you don't know the truth and come to compete with us for business, we can only beat you to death in a price war. If you have that problem, come to me and I will stay with you to the end. If you don't have it,

Just tighten your tail and get out. Li Cong has always been like this when doing business. It doesn't matter who is behind you or how powerful it is, but as long as you involve my fundamental interests, I will definitely not let you go.

Even if it's yours, we'll fight to the end, right?

In fact, Li Cong has been planning for this ocean-going trade very early. Although he does not have many merchant ships, so far or the empire has to see how the local sales are and how the price can be adjusted.

It's what we call market research on Earth. So far, more than a thousand types of goods have been subject to this kind of market research. Whether it's OK or not, look at their ships. Even the smallest profit of a thousand times can be dozens.

Times, it’s not that others have never thought of such a thing, but they can do such a business. Of course it is not possible. Just look at their ships. You will know that if you go out, you will not reach your destination at all, and you may even lose your own life.

The reason why we got together was to do something like this. Before the Eastern Empire, there was a very powerful merchant fleet.

Now this merchant fleet has been crippled by Li Cong, and most of the ships have gone to the bottom of the sea. Moreover, the Emperor of the Eastern Empire has no idea of ​​​​developing trade with the four countries. He just needs to hold on to his advantage. If

Once the trade war between the four countries starts, people from the other three empires may flock in in large numbers, which will let them see how powerful the Dong Empire has become. If they go back to the sea, they will be the ones who suffer.

If they mined and developed all the islands in the surrounding sea areas to earn their own income, they would also increase a lot of taxes and increase a lot of population. How would the advantages of the Eastern Empire exist? The Emperor of the Eastern Empire was very afraid of this.

He wanted to ensure his own advantage and would not let the other three empires learn to give in. For this reason, the memorial for overseas trade was thrown out immediately after it was submitted. This is simply an act of national subjugation. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor

That's what I thought.

Li Cong also read the memorial thrown out by the Emperor of the Eastern Empire later. It was simply done by a very smart person. Now the person Li Cong wants to visit is this person. He is the former Minister of Household Affairs of the Eastern Empire. He was in that

He did a very good job in his position. He also saw some clues from the transportation of the Cao Family Trading Company. He wanted to make himself shine with this secret. Unexpectedly, he was dismissed by His Majesty the Emperor and stayed at home. It happened that he

His hometown is the fiefdom of Pluto. When he came back, King Ning had a good talk with this guy. He also thought that this guy's memorial was very good, but it was a pity that he didn't have the intention to do this at that time.

Yes, he just said a few words to this guy casually. It turned out that he thought that Prince Ning started his career at sea, and Prince Ning would work with him to complete this matter. Unexpectedly, Prince Ning just said a few words.

There is no more to follow. This really made him feel uncomfortable, so it was better to ignore it and just relax at home. Anyway, he had no shortage of food and drink.

Li Cong must have come to investigate this person in the first place. Otherwise, how could he come to his house? He knew that this person's revenge was very far-reaching. Otherwise, he would not have stayed there after he was dismissed from office.

The family is no longer going out. If it were other people, they would definitely give their ideals to others, and then have to spend money everywhere to beg people to let them go out to be officials again. But he doesn't have those ideas. He stays in his own house honestly.

At home, he writes and draws slowly. This is not what a middle-aged man should do. He should be in his prime at this moment. He should use his own strengths. Unexpectedly, he is already doing some things that older people should do.

When Li Cong entered, he saw this guy doing a set of boxing techniques in the house, a boxing technique for physical exercise. This was no different from the old people outside. It was really a waste of resources.

Li Cong knew that it was not good for him to come to the door so abruptly, so he found a friend of this guy. His friend used to have some affairs in Prince Ning's Mansion. Now that Prince Ning had run away, of course he would be gone.

Now that I heard that Li Cong could ask him to do a favor, I quickly came over. Seeing this guy boxing, I quickly went over and said, "Old Wang, your good days have come. Look at this guy."

Who is he? This is the big boss of the Cao Family Trading Company. Oh, that’s wrong. He is now a Duke in our empire. He came to you for a very important matter, which is the shipping deal you made back then. Then

The matter is precious now, and Sir Alex is interested in it. You should give Sir Alex Cao a good talk about the matter." Just when Mr. Wang didn't know what to do, his friend pulled him aside.

Go, tell him what happened, and let him know what happened?

It's okay if he doesn't talk about this. What happened back then made him so angry that he couldn't express it anywhere. What the hell is going on? I was an empire back then. Who knew you didn't say anything?

So I was dismissed from office. He hadn't figured out what was going on with the Cao family business? Because the place he lived in was just a small city, there was nothing for her to know about the actions outside.

Everyone in her family also knows that he has been having a bad life recently, so they shouldn't tell him things that don't affect her life outside. Now for the first time, he knows that the land where he lives has changed. Prince Ning

He had already returned to the capital in despair. The Cao family's business was now in charge here. Why didn't he think that someone else was in charge in the land of the Eastern Empire? It was a businessman who was in charge. He looked at Li Cong.

He also had a very disdainful look in his eyes.

The disdainful look in his friend's eyes was even more serious. This friend of his was also a scholarly kid, but now he was being run by a businessman, and he looked like a slave. What a Duke, how could I?

Have you never heard of this matter? Although there are many dukes in the Eastern Empire, they are not as young as this. This is obviously lying and fooling yourself. Lao Wang does not want to talk to such people at all.

, she was about to ask her butler to see off the guests, but just as she waved, Li Cong walked up to him. Although Lao Wang was no longer an official in the court, he still had the courtesy he should have. He couldn't be

It was true in my own family to kick people out in front of them, and the young man in front of me could be considered a good-looking man. I wanted to hear what he had to say?

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Cao Ke from Cao Family Trading Company. I have taken the liberty to disturb you. I am really sorry because I have many important things I want to talk to you about, and I think you also want to talk about what I want to say.

I'm very interested. I know very well how you were demoted back then. See if this is your memorial. I spent a lot of effort to find it, Li Cong said.

Wan Wan took out the memorial from his arms. This thing can be said to be very important. This thing can only be found in the palace. I really didn't expect that Li Cong also got this thing. What does this mean?

?Is he telling himself about his ability? It is true that it is impossible for ordinary people to get it. Even if they can get it, it is just a handwritten copy. But the one in front of me was written by myself back then, and it took ten years.

Five pages, but that’s it.

Mr. Cao, I have not been an official in the court for many years. I don’t know much about outside things. I was very presumptuous just now. Please come in. Although my home is simple, it is still clean. It is used for entertaining guests.

It's still passable. Even if Lao Wang recognized Li Cong, his friend was a bit strange. Although Li Cong showed his strength to Lao Wang, there was no need to treat him as a guest.

Right. This is inconsistent with some of Lao Wang's previous performances. Could it be that this Lao Wang is a person with different opinions? In the past, he always pretended to show his dissatisfaction. It's no wonder that his friend has this idea. In fact,

In the past, Lao Wang just didn't want to be interested in other things. What he was most interested in was his own ambition. If the emperor of the Eastern Empire had listened to his opinion, the ships of the Eastern Empire would definitely be running all over the ocean now.

Already.

Are they just ships running? That is wrong. You should see the great regional benefits these ships bring when they are running. According to what was said in the original memorial. If the Eastern Empire government could build 100,000 ships

Big ships are coming to allow them to travel to the other four empires. This is just the first phase of the plan. Although this amount is not a lot, it can reach % of the Eastern Empire's fiscal revenue every year. The Eastern Empire's fiscal revenue that year

It is about 4000 billion silver. If it is %, it can increase by 800000000000 silver every year. This is definitely a large amount. It is a pity that the Emperor of the Eastern Empire did not listen. If it develops to the present, it will make the Eastern Empire's finances

There may be more people whose income has risen by several levels than the current total, but the opportunity is only once, and you have lost it. Now others have passed this opportunity.

"Although Mr. Wang's home is not very big, I can see that everything in the house is very delicate, and I can also tell the way out of many things. It can be seen that Mr. Wang has literary skills.

Man, the words written here are vigorous and powerful after all. If I had written them, they would definitely not have this effect." As soon as Li Cong entered the door, he saw a huge human character written on it, as if it was hung in some families on the earth.

Similarly, few people on this planet can write this character, but there are many on the earth. Li Cong commented on this character. It can be said that the comment has reached the heart of Lao Wang. Over the years, his

There were no guests at home. Even if his calligraphy improved too quickly, no one told him. He couldn't just praise himself. After listening to Li Cong's words, he already had a smile on his face. Li Cong

He rarely flatters people, but he has become very powerful in the past few years.

"Lord Cao, please stop talking nonsense. This is just what I usually write casually. There are many calligraphers in the empire. I can't even explain a little bit about them. Just look at this and this of mine back then. My handwriting is really not that good.

Like this, even now I feel it is a bit embarrassing to stick it out, but I didn’t expect that I would use this calligraphy to write a memorial to His Majesty the Emperor. Maybe it’s because of my poor handwriting that I am like this now.

This is the result." Lao Wang is also a cautious person. He quietly turned the matter back to this memorial. How could a person who understands so well like His Majesty the Emperor, be so concerned about the words on a memorial?

If the writing is good or not, a high-ranking official of the imperial court was dismissed from office. He said these words just to let Li Cong express his own thoughts and let Li Cong tell what is going on? Why does your Cao family business have such a thing?

Are you able to realize this plan? It's useless for you to just praise me. We have to see if you have the determination. We can't fool you.

Mr. Wang's handwriting is indeed good, but I can tell by looking at it that the content is ten thousand times more exciting than mine. I also had such a dream before, but it's just a little smaller here, and I have never had a clue about the ideal.

, and Mr. Wang’s work can be said to have just hit my heart. Exporting something and importing something, trading on both sides, both sides will benefit, both sides will make money. This kind of thing is not something ordinary people can do. I

It seems that giving Mr. Wang the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a sign of humiliation. The position of Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs is pretty much the same, but I am a trading company here. If I want that kind of political status, I can't get it for Mr. Wang.

Yes, but if Mr. Wang wants a title to be passed down to his descendants, I still got it. Li Cong offered his own price? Who doesn’t want his descendants to live a better life, and who doesn’t want to make himself proud of his ancestors? This is considered

Got Mr. Wang’s itchy spot.

Mr. Cao was joking. In fact, I don’t have much pursuit of those things anymore. I just want to leave something to these people after surviving in this life. This will be my lifelong ambition by the end of my life. Now if Mr. Cao can

If you help me realize this ambition, I think I will be very grateful to Uncle Cao. As for those high-ranking officials and generous salaries, I don’t want it. Although Mr. Wang said so, Li Cong just saw

His eyes also flashed, and he understood what he should do. Scholars are all good-looking people. If he asked him to beg him, he would definitely not be able to lower his head. As long as he got this thing directly for him, he would

I will never refuse. This is a matter of face for scholars. Li Cong has studied it for a while and he has studied it thoroughly. If he says all these things, it is meaningless. It can only be understood.

But if you investigate carefully, you will know Mr. Wang's childhood experience. He is definitely from a poor family. Although his family has several acres of thin farmland, all the land was sold to allow him to study. The four brothers

It can be said that it can only be a well-off life. It is good to have enough to eat. He is the only one who has achieved the position of a high-ranking official in the capital. The other brothers all want to rely on it to get some light. Unexpectedly, he wants to

When he took advantage of the opportunity, he was dismissed from office and went home. These brothers didn't take advantage of it, so they had everything they wanted, right? You shouldn't have tightened your belt and studied, but what would happen if you succeeded in studying?

He can't even support himself, which makes these nephews and nieces look down upon him. Now he also wants a title and a good life. Let these brothers see that he is definitely not a waste. He has never read the books back then.

into the dog's belly, but His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not give him such a chance, but Li Cong gave him such a chance.

Opportunities like this don't come often, and Li Cong won't always be waiting for this guy, but he is still very useful at this moment. I have to wait for this guy, and I hope he can give me a good one.
