Chapter 1959 Right Eyelid Twitching
After hearing what Wang Xuance said, Li Shen pondered for a while, then nodded. The current production capacity was insufficient and it was not appropriate to expand the printing workshop.
"Well, then, as you say, you can handle this matter as you wish."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Xuance accepted the order.
"Lao Wang, how are the preparations for the football betting? Has the news been released?"
Li Shen asked Wang Hongfu again.
"Your Majesty, the personnel have been sent over. I have personally taught them the procedures according to your instructions.
I am now practicing with ordinary paper and I believe I will be able to master it in two or three days."
Wang Hongfu replied quickly.
"Okay, the football team is also preparing, and it will probably only take a few days for the first game to start.
You need to get ready as soon as possible.
This is the time for me to make money. Whether I can turn losses into profits this year depends on this matter. Please don’t mess it up for me.”
Li Shen nodded with satisfaction.
The Ji Wang Mansion spent all its resources to build the Qinghai Road. From this incident, Li Shen began to reflect on himself and realized that he was not a good leader.
Leadership really depends on talent.
Li Shen was just a commoner in his previous life. He had never seen such a grand occasion. The wealth that was enough to rival a country made Li Shen feel proud.
Li Shen spent at least five million more strings of cash on the Qinghai Road.
Now he finally understood his own weight. It seemed that in the future, when doing things, he should just state his purpose and leave the rest to his subordinates.
I have always adhered to the principle of letting professionals do professional things, but I have not done it thoroughly enough and always want to express my own opinions.
This time Li Shen planned to delegate power. After giving the general charter to everyone, he would just achieve his own goals. As for the rest, he didn't care what means his subordinates used.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never delay Your Majesty's plans." Wang Hongfu promised.
"Oh, by the way, what is the price of spices outside now?" Li Shen thought of the spices and started asking.
“Your Highness, the price of spices outside has increased six or seven times, especially pepper, which is the most expensive. The price has reached one ounce of pepper for one ounce of gold.
The price of ambergris from the Western Regions has risen to the point where one ounce of ambergris costs seven or eight strings of cash, and there is still no demand for it. "
Wang Hongfu also reported that he was a little shocked that the prices of spices were rising so fast.
"So expensive?" Pei Mingli exclaimed in surprise as soon as Wang Hongfu finished speaking.
Li Shen was not surprised, but thought about it and shook his head:
"No, we have to wait a little longer. The price is about the same as before, but it has to be higher than before.
If I remember correctly, pepper seemed to be about this price when it was at its most expensive. Wait until other spices go up in price."
Li Shen felt that it was not the right time yet. The entire market was now under his control, and it was impossible for spices to come to Chang'an within the next year.
His own fleet blocked Malacca to rob spices, and he also sent people to keep an eye on the Guangzhou port, purchasing any spices he could find at a high price.
The situation in the Western Regions was tense, with almost no caravans coming. He didn't believe that he couldn't come up with a big move.
"Your Highness, the price is already very high. I'm afraid no one will buy it if it goes any higher." Wang Hongfu reminded.
"It doesn't matter. I'm just waiting for other categories to increase a little more. The plan still needs to be implemented." Li Shen waved his hand.
"Okay, let's stop here today. Complete the tasks assigned to you by me. I will be away for a while, so the issues in the northwest must be resolved as soon as possible.
The cotton fields in Prince Ji’s mansion cannot be any heavier this year. I will go to Xizhou to discuss the purchase with those tribes.”
Li Shen felt a little tired, so he got down from the rocking chair and went to the couch.
"Your Majesty, I still think it's a bit risky for you to go to Xizhou. The situation in Xizhou is complicated now, and there are many rebels in secret.
I think it would be better for Your Majesty to go to Xizhou after the war in the court is over. "Wang Xuance made another suggestion, this was the second time he had said it.
He was also considering Li Shen's safety.
However, Li Shen said indifferently:
“It’s okay. I will bring enough guards with me this time. Besides, I am the only one who can go to Xizhou to discuss the acquisition. If someone else goes, the local tribesmen may not agree.
Moreover, His Majesty has instructed me to pacify the people in the local area.
This incident was caused by the Ji Wang Mansion, and the Ji Wang Mansion cannot shirk its responsibility."
Li Shen also wanted to go out for a walk. He had been in Chang'an for too long and it was not very interesting, so he just treated it as a trip.
Go see the prairie or something.
Wang Xuance also knew that he could not change King Ji's mind, so he could only sigh in his heart. It is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but King Ji did not care.
The matter had been discussed, and the three stood up and bowed to leave. Li Shen yawned and waved his hand.
On the morning of the second day, which was the third day after the shareholders' meeting,
After Li Shen got up in the morning, he followed his guards to do a set of boxing. Ever since Su Xiaoxiao got pregnant a few days ago, Li Shen saw hope.
After getting up every day, I do a set of boxing exercises to exercise my body.
Today, his ominous premonition was even stronger, and his right eyelid kept twitching.
After sweating all over after boxing, Li Shen started to take a shower and change clothes. He also took a piece of paper and stuck it on his right eyelid.
Jump right eye jump Choi disaster.
"My Lord, my Lord, this is bad."
Just as Li Shen was having his meal, Shi Tou rushed in in a panic.
"Bullshit, I'm fine. Why are you so flustered?"
After hearing this, Li Shen angrily shouted that he had already been feeling bad today and this bastard said something bad about him.
"No, I didn't tell the prince. What I said was that Steward Wang came and said that His Majesty summoned him." Shi Tou explained hurriedly.
"The old king is here? Well, it's not good. Tell him that I'm sick and ask him to go back and tell my father that I will come in two days."
When Li Shen heard that his father had summoned him, his first reaction was that he couldn't go, as he would be in trouble if he went.
"But...but no matter what the prince says, it never works." Shi Tou replied hesitantly.
Li Shen often said that he was sick and did not want to meet the emperor, but he never succeeded.
"Oh, forget it. Just come with me and take a look." Hearing Shi Tou's words, Li Shen sighed. He also knew that the imperial order was difficult to disobey.
After tidying up his clothes, Li Shen led his people to the front hall. Seeing Wang De's annoying face, Li Shen didn't give him a good look:
"Hmph, Lao Wang, what are you doing here again?"
"Haha, this old servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Ji." Wang De bowed with a smile, not caring about Li Shen's cold face at all, but continued:
"I am here to convey your Majesty's order to summon Prince Ji to Cuiwei Palace for an audience."
"Go back and tell my father that I am ill and have caught a cold. Don't infect him. Wait until I recover before visiting my father and mother."
