Chapter 733 Night Talk
Lying in the quilt, holding his wife with both hands, feeling the fragrance and warmth coming from his arms, Liu Yi felt a rare peace and peace in his heart. During the day, in the postman, in the palace, in Chu Yi and Li Shimin, all the troubles and calculations encountered by others like Chu Yi and Li Shimin are temporarily put aside, no longer thinking about it, no longer planning, and both body and mind are relaxed.
Warm and soft, with no worries about food and clothing. This kind of life is a warm little life for a wife and children. Whether it is placed in the past or in this life, it is the goal and motivation for Liu Yi's efforts and struggle. His arms tightened his soft wife in his tight arms, and Liu Yi's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Now, my wife is beautiful and virtuous, and I choose one in a million. I have children, too, and I am agile and cute. As for the family business, although it is not as rich as a country, it can be considered rich. Not to mention now, even the descendants of the Liu family can be safe enough to keep food and clothing free of worries.
If it weren't for the fact that Hou Junji, who was looking at their Liu family outside, and there were some forces that ordinary people dare not touch in secret, trying to kill themselves several times. With Liu Yi's calm and peaceful nature, he wouldn't have worked so hard to go east and west camp and make himself so uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, husband?" He felt that his husband's heart was a little heavy, and he lay on the couch without saying anything for a long time. He turned over and took advantage of the faint light of the lantern outside the door, Zhang Chuchu opened his eyes and faced his husband's resolute face, and asked softly: "But I thought of those troublesome things again? Is there still no news from Gaochang?"
Although Liu Yi rarely talks to his wife about things outside, and there are any difficult things and dilemmas, Liu Yi is usually depressed in her heart and does not bother her wife and her parents, but who is Zhang Chuchu? She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child. She is smart and is also a person by Liu Yi's pillow. She can guess some things even if Liu Yi doesn't say them.
Furthermore, Liu Yiu-tie refused to say anything, but the servants in the mansion did not dare to hide anything from their young wife. In fact, before Chen Mingze met Liu Yiu-tie, Zhang Chuchu had already asked him about the things that his husband had been bothering for this period. Although he could not learn everything from Chen Mingze's mouth, he could also see a few points from the words of this little manager.
So, now seeing that your husband seems to have something to do, Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but ask and tell him softly.
"Oh, I'm worried." After hearing his wife's question, Liu You immediately came to his senses and took back his thoughts that had just floated out of nowhere. He looked at his wife and said with a chuckling: "The incident on Gaochang has been resolved safely. As for the Chongzhou in charge of the affairs, although he doesn't know what the specific injury is, he can at least be sure that he has no life worry, so the wife doesn't have to worry about it."
Liu Yi did not find it strange to his wife's question. In fact, he knew very well that it was easy for him to hide some things, but it was difficult to make the lovely person around him completely unaware of them. Therefore, as long as Chu Chu didn't ask about many things, Liu Yi would be willing to pretend to be confused. If Chu Chu asked about them, he would not deceive him any more.
"Well, this is a happy event," Zhang Chuchu's heart fell on her heart when she heard this news. She looked up at her husband who was close to her and said softly: "Even so, why is your husband still so unhappy? Is there any other reason for worry?"
"My wife has a wise eye and some worries, but it's not a big deal. She can handle it for her husband," Liu Yiu couldn't help laughing at herself when she saw her wife still looking at her worriedly, saying, "It's just that in the process of dealing with it, I have to make less money. It's a pity. Haha, I'm a little greedy for my husband, and I'm really like an ordinary merchant, and I'm infected with some stinking smell of money."
Collecting ten or five taxes is no longer a simple small amount of money. Thinking about Li Shimin, he could get nearly 50% of their shares in "Liu Family Cotton Floor" for nothing, which is a bit cheaper.
Moreover, based on the cotton yield and its blank impact on this era, it is not difficult to calculate that in the next few years or even more than ten years, it will definitely be the world of cotton fabrics, and what the Liu family has lost is enough to calculate in billions. Now, thinking about it, although we know that what we are doing now is good, from the perspective of the overall safety of the Liu family, it can be said that it is a wise move, but in my heart, I still feel a little distressed.
"Husband, don't be so mean to me. I can't bear it in my heart," I raised my hand and gently stroked my husband's face. Zhang Chuchu said softly: "The old saying goes, 'wealth is moving'. As long as you are not a saint, who will really give up the property that belongs to you?"
"But although this wealth is easy to make people feel moved, but if you have too much, it will inevitably become a source of disaster. Sometimes if you lose some, it may not be a bad thing," Zhang Chuchu continued to say, "Don't your husband often mention that only by giving up can you gain? Although you give up some now, who can protect you from the future, in the future, won't you get more?"
"Besides, our Liu family's life is better than when I first passed by, and I don't know how much money I have, and I will go there once I go. As long as our Liu family is not damaged at all, we will earn it back sooner or later." Zhang Chuchu said: "Although I don't know much about the business world, I can guess my husband's thoughts. I know that there is something big in my heart. I think I need to prepare a lot of money. However, although this money is important, my husband cannot ruin his body for this."
He looked at his husband affectionately, and Zhang Chuchu said, "After all, in the eyes of my parents-in-law and children, my husband is our heaven. If my husband falls down, our Liu family will be the heaven."
Feeling the tenderness and deep concern between Chu Chu's words, Liu Yi's heart felt warm. He couldn't help but raise his head and kiss Chu Chu's forehead lightly, hugging his wife's soft body tightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, madam, even for you and the children, he will not be willing to do anything to himself for his husband."
"With me, Liu Yi, our Liu family will not fall down!" When he said this, Liu Yi's voice was very light, but his momentum was high, and a strong confidence from the inside out made Zhang Chuchu's eyes blurred in his arms.
"I have never looked down on him, but I didn't expect that this time I still looked down on him." In Lizheng Hall, beside the bedside, sitting in the quilt covered by the cotton, feeling the warmth from the quilt, Li Shimin sighed again.
"Mr. Liu is not an ordinary person, and the emperor has never looked down on him. It's just that Mr. Liu's actions have always been unexpected and cannot be understood." It is rare to have the opportunity to talk to the emperor at night, Empress Changsun leaned gently in Li Shimin's arms, closed her eyes and spoke softly.
"Extraordinary people must do extraordinary things. The queen's words make some sense," Li Shimin nodded softly, "Forget the medical skills and instruments before, such as the 'Sanyuan Tea' and this time the white folded pieces have existed for hundreds or thousands of years, but only he, Liu Yiong, can think of some ways to change and optimize them. How can ordinary people do this?"
The effect of tea is fine, the most common thing is to make people new, but the white folds bring more than just adding a few new items. It was a storm, a huge storm that could sweep the Tang Dynasty and change the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was not a stupid person at all. After listening to the analysis and comments of the two officials of the current dynasty, Su Bingren, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Di Zhixun, he also took this matter more clearly. Liu Yi brought him not only simple products such as cotton coats, quilts, and cotton cloth, but also a huge opportunity.
"Also, the merchants who can take the initiative to propose to the court to pay 10 taxes and 5 taxes, from ancient times to the present, are probably the only ones who are Liu Yi." Thinking of what Liu Yi said in the hall today, Li Shimin added a whisper to the back.
People who are businessmen often have the idea of evading taxes. They are afraid that they will pay more than one cent per month. They can be as likely as a businessman who actively pays taxes and voluntarily bears a high tax rate of ten or five taxes. How can ordinary people do it?
"Calling ten taxes and five?" After hearing Li Shimin say this, Empress Changsun couldn't help but open her eyes, looked up at the emperor in confusion, and asked softly: "Is it too high?"
Compared with the current tax rate of 15 and 10 taxes, collecting 10 taxes is really too harsh. How could Mr. Liu be a very smart person make such an incomprehensible decision?
"Mr. Liu, what are you concerned about?" Without waiting for Li Shimin to answer, Empress Changsun quickly thought of some of the possibilities. Liu Yiu has never been a stupid person and will not do any loss-making business. Now that he is willing to give up these huge profits, he must be afraid and seeking something, otherwise what reason would he do like this?
"The price of cotton cloth is fifteen pillars per piece, but its cost is less than a thousand yuan," Li Shimin said softly, "For such a huge profit, he Liu Yi is willing to swallow all of it."
