The officials who were called by Li Longji didn't know that this was a scam specifically aimed at them, and the purpose was to get them to take the initiative to formulate better laws. Of course, in the end, it is even more impossible to really pit their money.
Li Longji was originally on the list of being deceived, but Zhang Zhong felt that it was not good to always bully the emperor, so he revealed the news, and the leader of the scam changed.
Qunchen signed a normal contract with the independent sub-production and sales department under the Ministry of Industry. There are a few in total. First, when the ordered product has quality problems, it will be replaced and repaired free of charge; second, if the product cannot be provided, all deposits will be refunded directly. ; The third is that once the product is delivered, the payment must be made in full; the fourth is to write one hundred and fifty deposits that have been paid.
The content of the contract was very simple, and a few of the most important points were omitted, but the ministers didn't think much about it, and even agreed without reading the content of the contract.
Two days passed quickly.
As the leader, Li Longji once again called a group of ministers in his free time and formed a team to go to the fish tank sales place.
After arriving at the place, I found that many people were waiting in the reception room there, and the walls of the reception room were covered with large paintings.
After the officials saw the painting, they were all confused. The characters in the painting were them. A salesperson was there to explain to the people waiting to pick up the goods, who is a certain official, what kind of fish tank do they like, and why like.
Hubu Shangshu Wang Zhao's face was ugly. He felt that the things he was pointing at on the wall were a kind of use of him. He came to Zhang Zhong's side and asked: "Why did my picture hang up?"
"My picture is also hung up." Zhang Zhong replied.
Obviously, the answer Zhang Zhong gave did not satisfy Wang Zhao. He didn't mean this. Seeing that Zhang Zhong didn't mean to continue speaking, he found Li Longji again.
Li Longji is greeting the people in the reception room. Those who can come to buy fish tanks are quite wealthy. After seeing the emperor and his ministers, they were very excited, but tried hard to restrain themselves and spoke to the emperor in a restrained manner. , Dare not be too enthusiastic, afraid of being misunderstood. Therefore, it is very difficult for Li Longji to shake hands with others, so he keeps nodding his head.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhong hung the portrait of the minister on it, and he used the minister to promote it, but the minister thought it shouldn't be the case." When Wang Zhao waited for Li Longji to say a few words with a businessman, he whispered in his ear and whispered.
It seems that Li Longji only discovered that there is a portrait on the wall. He raised his eyes and glanced around, then nodded to Wang Ye: "I have seen that the portrait of Yuanqing is also there. The painting is good. If you want to keep a real picture. , You can take pictures, and I'm probably going to give you a discount."
Wang Zhao was very distressed: "Your Majesty, the minister said that they should take off the portrait of the minister, and don't always mention what kind of fish tank the minister bought. The minister is not their salesperson."
"Whose family? The Ministry of Engineering belongs to the Ministry of Engineering, and the Ministry of Engineering belongs to my Datang. Don't talk nonsense." Li Longji only said in response to what Wang Chao said.
"Yes, it belongs to the Tang Dynasty. Then, the minister begged your Majesty to come forward and let Zhang Zhong take the picture off. Will it work?" Wang Zhao stopped complaining and asked directly.
"I'll ask you questions, don't worry." Li Longji smiled at the people who bought the fish tank again, and waved to Zhang Zhong.
Several other ministers who did not like to let others watch also gathered, waiting for Zhang Zhong to give an explanation.
Zhang Zhong trot two steps to Li Longji and asked: "Your Majesty, has Zhaochen ordered?"
Li Longji pointed to the portrait on the wall: "What's the matter?"
"Oh, your Majesty asks about this? Sales? With the fact that the ministers have bought them, the fish tank can be sold at a high price, and sales can increase at the same time.
Your Majesty, I just asked about the portrait that I hung up the night before. Yesterday and today, 425 people have paid for it directly, and the same product is not at the previous price of 150. Ten sticks, but the actual selling price is two hundred sticks. "
Zhang Zhong said to Li Longji excitedly.
"Not bad, good results, we must increase publicity and sell more good products to meet the daily needs of my Datang people. Of course, don't forget to pay taxes. Fish tanks are luxury goods and the tax rate is very high. Don't tax evasion."
Li Longji praised him and emphasized the issue of taxation.
Turning his head, he said to Wang Chao who was giving his opinion: "Wang Qing, I want to congratulate you, the fiscal revenue has increased again."
Wang Zhao had the urge to hit the wall with his head. He pointed to the wall again and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, the portrait, they are making money with the ministers."
"I know, but the Ministry of Industry has made money and paid taxes. Didn't it let you go to the Ministry of Households? Why are you unhappy with the money in your hands?" Li Longji said to Wang Chao.
"The money belongs to the household department, not the minister. They use their identities to earn their money. Your Majesty, the minister is an individual, a living person, not the household department." Wang Zhao began to argue this matter, and he felt that something was wrong. , It stands to reason that your Majesty cannot fail to know what he wants to express.
"Do you want to resign? To the official?" Li Longji asked with staring eyes.
Wang Zhao quickly shook his head, but resignation is not enough. The official with a large household book is not enough. He gritted his teeth and admitted: "The minister will not say what to take down. The minister wants to get some extra compensation. After all, he is using The status of a minister."
"What's your identity? Your identity is an official of Datang, you are an individual, a living person, and you are not the household department. Now when you introduce and promote products, use the household department identity. What does it have to do with you?" Li Longji argued with Wang Chao.
Wang Zhao lowered his head to think about it. That’s right. People who use Hubu Shangshu like fish tanks can recommend others to buy them. If they don’t allow them, they must resign from the official position of Hubu Shangshu, because Hubu Shangshu is not his own. Don's.
But why do you always feel that something is wrong when you go around? Is it yourself? Not yourself? Can you represent yourself? Can't represent yourself
If you say that you don't want to hang your own portrait, but only talk about Hubu Shangshu, will your Majesty stop yourself from being a Shangshu? If you are still a book, should you continue to hang the portrait there
Wang Zhao once again had the idea of hitting the wall.
Yu Wenrong smiled. He patted Wang Zhu on the shoulder and motioned to the back. He came over and said to Li Longji himself: "Your Majesty, put the portrait of the minister on it for publicity. The minister thinks it is feasible, but the minister is on duty. It’s an official, and it’s his time after work, so can the portrait be taken off during this time?"
"In other words, Yuwen is not under Tongzhongshu after you get off work?" Li Longji asked.
Yu Wenrong also shook his head, pondered, and said: "The minister's face usually has to be cleaned up, and it is not easy. Is it possible to give the minister some material compensation when using the minister's face for publicity?"
"This..." Li Longji looked contemplative, looking at Gao Lishi.
Collis very cooperatively inserted: "Is it written in the contract? I have this law? Are you right?"
He finally asked the people who came to buy things. They were all watching and listening, and found it very interesting. Every official of the court actually argued, and the emperor also followed suit. I have never felt this way before.
Yes, I have never felt this way. It is very warm and makes people feel that I am very close to the officials and the emperor. Your Majesty is really enlightened, and he can patiently explain it when he asks questions.
It's worth it. It's not a waste of time, even if the fish tank is more expensive, it's okay. Usually you can't see this situation.
"General Gao is right. It's written in the contract? I don't have such a law, so I don't give money." A man said boldly.
Others followed: "No, no."
Wang Zhu stared his eyes: "What are you brazen about and bullying me? I will go to your house for dinner and eat you poorly."
There was a burst of laughter around, and some people had already begun to invite Wang Chao to go home, saying that he would prepare something to eat, and he would definitely satisfy Mr. Hubu Shangshu.
Wang Zhu didn’t get angry. He laughed and said to the people around him: “You’ve all been deceived. Didn’t you hear what Zhang Zhong from the Ministry of Industry said just now. The one he was going to sell was one hundred and fifty. Change to 200 guan, you spend 25% more money, and still laugh."
In the past, the current scene is something that no one would even dare to think about. Now, it is admiring being close to the people. Putting down your body and speaking does not mean that you have lost your power. On the contrary, you can get the recognition of others.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. In fact, we don't spend 25% more money, it's 33.33%. Your Majesty and ministers will give you publicity, and we will buy it if it is more expensive."
The most courageous man spoke again.
So the echoing voice resounded around.
Li Longji is in a happy mood. He likes to see the way he is now. According to Xiaobao's words, he can increase the charm of his personality, and occasionally communicate with the people to make his image bigger.
At the same time, I really made money. Although it is used to deceive the layout, it can still gain extra gains when the swindlers play. I believe that from today onwards, the luxury goods of the Ministry of Industry will sell better.
Otherwise, it is really worthless to run out as an emperor with a group of ministers to waste time, or Xiaobao is thoughtful and takes advantage of everything that can be used to obtain other benefits. The tactics are really unusual.
Yu Wenrong didn't want to make any compensation at this moment, and he didn't think about taking off his portrait, and mentioning it again would make the people around him feel boring, so why bother.
Therefore, Yu Wenrong gave up the idea just now and said to Zhang Zhong: "Brother Yongcheng, the hanger is hanging up. Can you hand over the fish tank to us?"
Zhang Zhong nodded and signaled to the sales staff that someone immediately carried the fish tank out of the warehouse. One was taken out first and sold directly in the reception room.
The first one is Yu Wenrong's. The empty fish tank is there, and there are several glass jars with fish. It is a mutated, black goldfish. Yu Wenrong chose it himself. He likes this color.
Seeing the things brought, Yu Wenrong took a closer look, and said: "I need to cultivate more new ornamental fish species to meet the growing demand of the people. Can I find someone to move home? What about other things?"
"Brother Yuwen, did you bring the money? Just make up the balance." Zhang Zhong asked Yuwenrong.
