Li Cong can still accept the 1.5 billion silver benefit fee from the Prince's Palace. Although food is not a hugely profitable enterprise, it can still have this money. When the time comes, with Prince Zheng's strong assistance, Li Cong can also make it happen.

Even better, this money should be given. Of course, it turns out that Prince Yulin must continue to develop.

Li Cong's business expanded rapidly in the Western Empire, and there were a lot more people coming to visit Qiufeng. Of course, they didn't know what was going on at first, but later they heard that Li Cong was asking the emperor for help.

This one has died down one by one. It seems that I still don’t have the ability to go against the person the emperor likes. It’s better to be honest. Otherwise, if the emperor knows about this one day, he will definitely be

Nothing ends well.

Li Cong was not idle during this period. Li Cong began to visit the high-ranking officials of the Western Empire one by one in the capital of the Western Empire. Today, Dai Lin arranged for Li Cong to go to the Prime Minister of the Western Empire, Mr. Wu Zuoxi. This guy is now

It is already a position below one person and above ten thousand people, but because this guy has no son, the government and the public still don’t respect this guy very much. You have power and means. This is your ability, but you don’t have a son.

, this also shows that after you die, this may fall apart directly. Although his son-in-laws are doing well, the gap between son-in-law and son can be seen clearly by everyone. Everyone understands

Yes, so Wu Zuoxi's current status in the Western Empire is a bit strange. He is obviously a great person, but there are not many people who really respect him. Li Cong's personal visit can be said to have given this guy enough face. Generally speaking,

In a situation like Li Cong's, it was enough for Dai Lin to come to the door; no one wanted to come by himself.

Wu Zuoxi personally waited for Li Cong at the gate. We have to give face to others. Wu Zuoxi understands this principle of life, and Li Cong is no longer the businessman he used to be. Li Cong is now in the Western Empire.

He is considered a famous person, and he also knows some news that others don't know, that is, the emperor of the Western Empire is already preparing to give Li Cong the title of earl for life. Although it is only an honorary title, how can I say it?

He is also a noble of the Western Empire. After spending his whole life, he has become a lifelong earl. If he had a son, he might have a hereditary title. It is a pity that he has no son. Wu Zuoxi felt confused when he thought of this.

There was a dull pain for a while, which may be a lifelong pain.

"Master Wu went out in person and waited here. I'm really flattered." Li Cong was dressed in a dark blue eighth-level magician robe. There were some dignitaries on the road. They all knew this thing. Each one of them

There was envy in his eyes. Although he was a noble, he was not a magician. When his family had rights, he could have all these things, but it was different for others. As long as he could wear this robe, he would be able to wear it for the rest of his life.

It's fixed.

"Haha, what did Mr. Cao say? I know that the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the entire imperial capital these days can't find you even if they want to find you. If you give me face and come to my place in person, if I don't go out to greet you,

, 2 Doesn’t it seem that I am too ignorant? Even Prince Zheng and his elders praise the younger generation. I also want to see what the younger generation is like. This meeting, it turns out that I am a dragon and a phoenix among people." Wu Zuoxi was normal.

But I don’t praise people very much. What I say now can be regarded as my own heart. For such a young person to have such a family fortune, it is certainly related to his own luck, but more importantly, he has to work hard.

.

"Master Wu, the compliment is a bit excessive." Li Cong said modestly, and the people around him looked at Wu Zuoxi with envy. This old guy will start to tremble in the future. To be honest, although Wu Zuoxi has all the power now, but some

The old nobles don't buy this guy's account very much. He is an ordinary person. He only has twenty years left at most. This is still a time when there is nothing wrong. The position of the Imperial Prime Minister is not that easy to do.

It is very likely that he will become a common man, and this guy may not be in power for a long time. Many people feel that Cao Ke gave this old guy more face. In fact, he does not have that much face.

The two people introduced themselves to each other at the door and then went into the house. Good novel: The show at the door is over. Basically, it can be seen by those who want to see it. There is no need to do it.

Speaking of which, Li Cong was followed by Bai Er and Dai Lin. The rest were servants and so on. Of course, there were also Li Cong's magical beasts, the three pull-eating wolves. Now Li Cong

If you don’t bring a World of Warcraft with you when you go out, it seems that others don’t believe it. Many people call Li Cong the King of Warcraft. Yes, if someone else brings two or three Warcraft, he is considered a great person. But look at Li Cong.

From now on, people bring hundreds of them, or even more.

Wu Zuoxi's side is naturally his four sons-in-law. Wu Zuoxi has no sons. Anyone who wants to be his son-in-law must be a married woman, and their names have also been changed. The eldest son-in-law Wu Hua is now the commander of the Donghua Sect and is a third-rank official.

, can be regarded as the best among several sons-in-law, but this guy is only a fifth-level warrior. In front of this official, it can be said that it is entirely dependent on Wu Zuoxi's relationship. If Wu Zuoxi is gone, it is estimated that this

The official position will be taken down by others immediately, and this guy will go to rest where he should go. This is a sure thing.

Wu Zuoxi's second son-in-law is a businessman, specializing in cloth business. It can be said that he was half-baked in the business in the past. Of course, it also has something to do with this guy's brain. At that time, he only thought about doing business, but this business

It's not that easy to do. If you want to do business, it's no problem. The relationship must be smooth, especially this cloth business. The imperial court purchases so much cloth business every year. If you can do it a little bit,

If it's a little bit, you can eat whatever you want all year round, but if you can't do it, there's a possibility of starving to death.

He was originally a small businessman around the capital, and he wasn't very good at what he did. However, things changed when Wu Zuoxi started to make a fortune. People from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Munitions all came to the door and started actively doing business with this guy.

This may be the most glorious time for this guy. He was also the happiest when he saw Li Cong. He really didn't expect that his father-in-law was actually related to this legendary businessman. If Master Cao was willing to take care of him, this would be great.

It is really more than he can eat in a lifetime, which is why he came here shamelessly. To be honest, Wu Zuoxi despises this guy. In the past, when he was not good enough, this kid didn't come to the door very often. When he became the official

This guy started to run diligently after he became the minister. He has a father, and those who didn't know thought that this guy was his biological son. I guess he didn't have such an expression even when he saw his dead biological father.

Wu Zuoxi's third son-in-law is a decent academician. As the saying goes, he is the kind of Taoist gentleman who talks all the talk every year. This guy is now a teacher at the Imperial Academy, and at the end of every year he has nothing to gain.

It can be said that he lived a very poor life. After Wu Zuoxi became rich, he often picked up this guy at the airport. It can be said that the two of them are more like the father and mother. Usually, Wu Zuoxi, the third son-in-law, is the leader of the gang.

He was the one who took care of some things at home, and many of the major national policies proposed by Wu Zuoxi were also given opinions by this guy. It can be said that he also inherited most of Wu Zuoxi's personal connections.

Wu Zuoxi's little son-in-law is a county magistrate near the capital of the Western Empire. He used to be an ordinary handyman, but now it is quite difficult to reach his current status. Wu Zuoxi has no feelings for his little son-in-law.

, because I love my little daughter so much, I gave this guy some support. However, this guy’s brain seems to be a bit unclear. This guy has some shortcomings of his own. Otherwise, the way he can go is to

Much better than now, maybe he has reached the position of county magistrate. Wu Zuoxi is watched by so many people now, and they can't take good care of him.

After entering the room, the guests and hosts were seated. Wu Zuoxi glanced at Li Cong and wondered what this boy was doing here today. It was definitely not as simple as letting the people outside see his relationship with him. If so, there could be a lot of things.

No way, it is impossible for people at their level to waste time on such a face-saving project, unless the face-saving project is very important to them, so important that they have to do it.

After sitting down, Li Cong asked someone to deliver a Xiangtan wooden box to Wu Zuoxi. What Li Cong did was different. Wu Zuoxi and his second son-in-law's eyes lit up. This was not an ordinary thing.

. Li Cong has always been generous in his actions. Everyone knows this, but we don’t know how generous he is. In the past, we relied on guesswork, but today we know it. This is really not ordinary generosity.

Things like Xiangtan wood are a very cherished tree in the Eastern Empire. Such things are used as materials for some very luxurious things. They will maintain their original appearance for hundreds of years after being made. Such a big one

If you want to buy a box, it will cost at least 800,000 taels of silver. According to legend, Han Linzhai in the capital got fifteen such boxes, each selling for more than 700,000 taels of silver. It is said that one person directly bought these fifteen boxes.

The boxes were all bought, and that seemed to be it. Wu Zuoxi frowned and glanced at Li Cong. The stewards outside had already finished handing over the gifts. What did this mean?

Woolen cloth?

Boxes are all like this. The things inside must be very precious. What is inside? Everyone in the room wants to know. Wu Zuoxi will definitely not give this box to someone like this on such an occasion.

Opened. That would make him look too ungraceful. He would not do such a thing.

Li Cong gave Dai Lin a look. He should do such a thing at this time, "Mr. Wu, here are some shares of Cao's Shipping Company, which was newly established by our Cao's Trading Company. Although it is not a lot, but every year

The income is also very considerable. Our young master wants to do something with Mr. Wu." Dai Lin said with a smile. The shares in it can be said to be very few in the entire Cao's Shipping Company, but the dividends are absolutely

That's a lot.

Wu Zuoxi's mind quickly started to process the program. When Cao's inland river shipping started, he helped to get thousands of ships. The annual profit of those ships was only about 200,000 taels of silver.

But that was what happened in the past. After the Cao family took over the fleet, it was conservatively estimated that they would make three times the profit. In fact, this is how they saw it. Li Cong knew that it would be at least five times the profit.

The Cao family has obtained more than hundreds of thousands of ships through various means during this period. Li Cong has calculated that if nothing goes wrong with the one thousandth of the shares given away, it can bring Wu Zuoxi more than 100 million every year.

With a net income of fifty million taels, Wu Zuoxi's head began to work quickly. Of course, he would not know that in detail, but tens of millions of silver every year should be about the same, while the other sons-in-law did not.

They were so happy. They all knew that the Cao family's shipping line was not very big, and they all blamed Li Cong for his bad actions, so they sent their father-in-law away. In fact, they all also blamed themselves.

My father-in-law didn't have the ability to feel distressed, but there was no other way. Unexpectedly, Li Cong, an outsider, looked down on his father-in-law, and several people looked a little uncomfortable on their faces.

"Haha, Mr. Cao is so polite. I don't know much about business, but I heard that Mr. Cao is the best at doing business. I, the old man, will just follow you and take advantage of it. There are already people in the court.

I am ready to organize a new order on the Red River. I think your Cao's firm is also very good. It just so happens that the imperial court also allocated 3,000 ships to me. I don't have the time to operate it on my own.

It would be better to join Cao's Trading Company of yours." Wu Zuoxi didn't want to take advantage of Li Cong at all. The main reason is that many people are looking at this guy at this time. If he wants Li Cong's things, someone may soon be there.

If you expose this matter, if that happens, you will really suffer the loss.

3,000 ships. These sons-in-law looked depressed. Why did they confiscate the things and put a lot of things into them? In their minds, these 3,000 ships can make hundreds of millions of profits every year. This

If they were all put into Cao Ke's boat shop, they would have to charge a lot of fees. The father-in-law has no sons, and his future wealth will belong to them. It is related to their vital interests. The boss feels it is necessary to talk about this.

thing.

"Master Wu's ships are really good. I will give Master Wu at least 200,000 taels of silver interest per ship every year, and there may be more." Li Cong said with a smile, and he also elaborated on the outline.

The eldest son-in-law who ordered something was caught. This 200,000 taels of silver per year is the highest profit for a ship on the Red River. Could it be that Li Cong pays his respects to his father-in-law every year? How could there be such a good person? Otherwise,

Is this guy putting money into it himself? Wu Zuoxi knew how powerful Li Cong's modified ship was, so he nodded immediately and agreed with Li Cong's proposal.

"Recently, His Majesty the Emperor wants to give Mr. Cao a lifelong earl. However, there are still many people in the court who are not satisfied with this decision. Otherwise, this matter will definitely be decided quickly." Wu Zuoxi thought for a while and said.

, I have received such valuable things from others, it would be somewhat unjustifiable without some expression, not to mention that others treat me quite well, so I have no reason not to mention it.

"Everything depends on Mr. Wu. I think I still need this title." Li Cong took a sip of tea and said. He is a person from the Northern Empire. Although he has no affiliation with the Northern Empire, these people's ideas are their own.

He is from the Northern Empire. With this title from the Western Empire, he is slowly integrating into it. No matter what his true identity is, they should be able to accept him more easily than before.

.

"Of course I support it, but you should also visit these people one by one..." Wu Zuoxi named several people. They are all high-level officials of the Western Empire. Some Li Cong heard
