Wu Mei frowned and listened to Bai Chun's words. She had already started to calculate in her mind, how much would 40% of sales in the past four years cost? Also, how much is the total profit over the past four years
Wu Mei's technique of pulling abacus beads is absolutely top-notch now. After learning about Li Hong's mental arithmetic and other arithmetic, she began to go to Chongwen Museum from time to time, either to ask for advice, or to call Yang Jiong and others to the palace, and they would do the math. She explains.
So now, when Bai Chun was talking to Lan Ling and others, Wu Mei started to pull at the abacus. How much money had they made in total in the past four years, and what was the total profit. After Li Hong took 40% of the total sales, he also How much profit is left.
When the sound of the crackling abacus calmed down, everyone in the Penglai Palace stared at the abacus. The entire Penglai Palace was silent. Only Wu Mei's trembling jade hands and rapid breathing were the only sounds in the entire palace.
"Zero? What does this mean?" Li Zhi watched Wu Mei doing the arithmetic for a long time, but at the end it was zero!
Wu Mei trembled with her hands and bit her lip. If Li Hong were in Penglai Palace at this time, his first reaction would definitely be to run away. No one could afford to offend or persuade the Queen Mother at this time.
"Bai Chun, tell me the truth, why does he need so much money?" Wu Mei felt her heart bleed. All the profits she had made in the past four years were taken away by this little idiot!
In other words, the things that I, Lan Ling and the others felt they had taken advantage of at the beginning were just making money for the little idiot in the past four years, and all the profits they had worked hard and painstakingly earned were lost to the little idiot. The total four-year limit on the contract was lied to!
The little idiot had already calculated these profits, and he had already calculated that the total profit was 40% of the total sales, so he mandatory included this clause in the contract!
Therefore, after the little idiot took all the money, he left a small change for the four of them, and then the four of them could start to make profits for themselves. They had worked for the little idiot for four years in vain!
How could Wu Mei, who was the strongest woman in history, endure this! It really echoed what the bastard Li Hong said to Li Dan on weekdays: "If you don't lose weight and only know how to eat, you will become stupid. When the time comes, you will be sold, and you will still be stupidly counting money for others!"
At this moment, Wu Mei felt like this. She had been stupidly counting money for the bastard for four years! In the end, the bastard took it all away. Even if he wanted to settle the score with him, he was thousands of miles away now!
"Has that little bastard planned it a long time ago? What does he need so much money for?!" Wu Mei was angry, completely angry, like a tigress, ready to eat people at any time!
The majesty of the queen was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. She was domineering and majestic and had the aura of being the first queen of all time. At this moment, even Li Zhi next to her had to get out of the way and quietly leaned to the other side of the chair.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to rebuild the four towns of Anxi. He needs to take stock of the money and items, so he has to plot against you. And..." Bai Chun looked at Wu Mei in his heart and was extremely nervous. After all, This is the queen.
"And what, say." Wu Mei tried her best to control her emotions. She had been deceived by the bastard for four years, and she stupidly counted money for others. She couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.
"And Taiyi City has no money now. All the money has been involved in the four towns of Anxi by His Royal Highness, leaving only some working capital." Bai Chun said fearfully, his palms sweating.
"Then what if I don't give him the money?" When Wu Mei thought of the money, she originally thought it was hers, but unexpectedly, it was Li Hong's. She was just a money-making machine for others. Who could it be? , being so plotted and framed, no one would have a good temper, let alone her Wu Mei!
"In the past, the Royal Bank wanted you to become a shareholder, and wanted the Ministry of Accounts to get more involved, but you refused. Today, the Royal Bank still only has the final say, and your money is all there, so... ”
"So even if I don't give it to him, it won't help. He can still take all the money?"
"Yes, Queen."
Wu Mei sighed deeply, and the remaining trace of reason made her pick up the contract and read it again.
After looking at it carefully for a while, he felt a little calmer. No matter what, if these workshops make money after Yuan Day, it has nothing to do with Li Hong. This is the only thing that comforts him.
But after thinking of this, he looked strangely at Li Zhi, who was leaning on the back of the chair and far away from him, and asked in confusion: "Even if the Anxi Protectorate wants to rebuild the four towns in Anxi, does it still need approval from the Ministry of Works?" ? Does a general have the right to be a prisoner?”
"That's true. What's wrong?" Li Zhi asked with gleaming words.
"Then you agreed to him? So you knew early on that Li Hong would do anything to make money? But you never mentioned it to me, Lan Ling and others. Are you helping Li Hong hide it from us?" Wu Mei A cold light shot out from his eyes, making Li Zhi very uncomfortable.
"This matter has nothing to do with me. I was also tricked by him. When Yan Li came today, I found out that Li Hong wanted to rebuild the four towns of Anxi." Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and explained sincerely.
"Humph, I don't believe it. Even if Li Hong is in Chang'an, he may not be able to sort out such a big matter at once. You must have joined forces with him to deceive us." Chengyang, the emperor's biological sister I quit, he said gloomily.
"Sigh... Why don't I want to deal with that little idiot? He used the copybook "Lanting Collection Preface" to seduce the old fool Yan Liben. How many years has it been? Yan Liben has never even seen the shadow of the Lanting Collection Preface, but Li Hong uses this trick every time , Yan Liben opened the door for him, and I only found out after the morning court, otherwise, why do you think I would get angry at Hua Ji as soon as I came in?" Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei and his three sisters, helpless. explained.
Wu Mei thought silently, then thought for a moment and said, "How long has he been here? Now there are two great guards in Anxi, and it has always been a taboo for military strategists to send orders to many gates. Is there no competition between him and Pei Xingjian for military power?" Or Pei Xingjian has been convinced by him, otherwise, how could he move so quickly and start rebuilding Anxi? Does he have all the power? "
Wu Mei was very surprised, it had only been a few months? It is said that at this time, Li Hong did not have time to mess with the four towns of Anxi. Instead, he should first secretly compete with Pei Xingjian, or worry about the ownership of military power for several months, but then it is as if this matter did not happen? Thinking of this, Wu Mei couldn't help but look at Li Zhi. Did she open the door to Li Hongda again
Li Zhi and Wu Mei have been together for many years. The two of them really love each other. They may not be in tune with each other, but at least they still have a tacit understanding cultivated over the years.
Before Wu Mei could ask, Li Zhi sighed again and said: "Li Hong didn't ask for military power at all, but made a three-part agreement with Pei Xingjian. Pei Xingjian was only responsible for leading the troops in battle, while Li Hong was in the rear, providing everything for Pei Xingjian." Everything needed, including food, horses, and soldiers, was all provided by Li Hong, so the two now cooperated with each other in the Anxi Protectorate. The Shule uprising had been suppressed by Pei Xingjian, and Ashina Duzhi was regained control. The ones pursued by Li Hong on the grassland are like lost dogs, and Li Zhepei in the west has now retreated deep into the grassland, and may not be able to attack for a while. "
Listening to Li Zhi's words, Wu Mei felt relaxed for no reason. This Li Hong knew that the overall situation was taken into account, so the four towns of Anxi immediately became stable.
He waved his hand and asked the palace maid to move a screen over. Bai Chun looked stunned. Watching Wu Mei pick up a pen and write on it, Bai Chun was so shocked that he couldn't describe it in words.
The screen was filled with Juan Xiu's handwriting, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that they were all Li Hong's numerous crimes!
From the little monkey terminology at the beginning, to the little brat terminology, and now looking at the terminology written now, it is clearly the title of a little idiot.
During the period of Xiaopi Monkey, when the mirror was first made, the queen was illuminated by sunlight and was listed on the screen by Wu Mei.
Breaking the Glazed Tower was naturally listed on it.
All the evil deeds he did when he was a little brat, such as not tying his hair, going to Hongwen Hall to study, etc., are all clearly listed on it.
The highlight of his time as a little idiot was naturally this time, when he calculated that Wu Mei had worked for him in vain for four years and asked Wu Mei to count the money he had spent in vain for four years.
Bai Chun looked at the densely packed words on the screen and felt inexplicably moved in his heart. These were all kinds of crimes. This was simply the growth history of His Royal Highness Li Hong. It was much more vivid and vivid than what the historians recorded.
"Remember it? By the way, write down mine too." Li Zhi watched Wu Mei stop writing, thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I'll write it down for you, too." After Wu Mei finished speaking, she opened the screen and turned over it, only to see another densely packed piece of words. It was the numerous words that His Royal Highness had committed in front of his father. offense!
Less than a few days before Yuan Day, Pei Xingjian led his troops and horses back to Qiuci City. Under Li Hong's welcome, after stationing the soldiers, he was welcomed into the city by Li Hong.
Pei Xingjian looked at the banners of the Tang Dynasty fluttering at the gate of the city, and his heart that had been hanging on him was relieved. During the time of the expedition, he had been afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince was young and energetic and would not be able to withstand Ashinadu's tactics to lure the enemy. I ran to the grassland to look for Ashina Duzhi. Now that I saw that the prince and Kucha City were still there, I finally let go of the big stone in my heart.
"Your Majesty, Pei Xingjian, would like to thank you, the Protector." Pei Xingjian said sincerely as he saw that in a short period of time, His Highness the Crown Prince, who was originally tender-skinned, now had a dark complexion, and his skin was not as tender as when he first arrived.
