After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 174 Doing Business in Partnership with the Empress
Lin Xi focused on playing with a gold-encrusted pearl sachet worn by the queen on her waist. She seemed to be very interested in the sachet. She was neither noisy nor fussy, and was extremely well-behaved.

The deed was written in great detail.

The responsibilities and obligations of both parties, the percentage of shares each party holds, and the method of profit sharing are all clearly written and clearly stipulated without any ambiguity.

Not a word of nonsense.

The emperor felt extremely comfortable.

If the minister's memorial was like this, he wouldn't know how much trouble he would save every day!

However, there were some clauses in the contract that the emperor and empress didn't quite understand, so they started discussing them in low voices.

Lin Xi got a little bored, so she slipped off the queen and went to eat.

By the time the emperor and empress finished their discussion, Lin Xi had already eaten and fell asleep.

Of course, she didn't really fall asleep.

While mentally attending class in the system space, he was also distractedly paying attention to the situation outside.

"Ahem." The emperor put down the deed in his hand.

Lin Wushang immediately sat upright, pretending to be listening and trying to answer his questions.

The queen came to Lin Xi and gently put her little feet back into the quilt.

He touched her little head lovingly and could hardly take his eyes away from her sleeping face.

"Xiaojiu, do you want to jointly open a cement factory with me in the name of your aunt? You will provide the cement recipe and hold [-]% of the shares, and I will contribute the people and land and hold [-]% of the shares?"

Lin Wushang: "Yes, Aunt An."

Emperor: "What about [-]% more shares?"

Lin Wushang: "There is also [-]% of the shares that will be distributed to those who support you.

“You should have expected that many people will be jealous of how profitable the cement factory will be in the future.

"By giving out that [-]% of the shares, we are actually sharing the risk and bringing those people on board with us. In this way, in the future, when someone is jealous and stumbles, those shareholders will not allow it first, not us."

The Queen agreed: "This method is very good. Xiaojiu, the deed says that I need to cooperate with publicity. What does this publicity refer to?"

Lin Wushang: “Use your influence to let more people know about our cement factory and come to the factory to place orders for cement.

"In this way, the efficiency of the factory will increase, and the profit share you can get will also increase. This is a good thing for me and you, and it is a win-win situation for both parties."

The queen nodded, lowered her eyes and began to think deeply, thinking about how she would promote the cement factory.

Lin Wushang took out three more brochures and said, "These are the three publicity plans I prepared in advance. You can refer to them."

The queen didn't expect that he had even prepared this in advance, so she took it over and looked through it.

After reading it, she couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaojiu, you really put me and your Uncle Wang to shame. You are so well-prepared, it seems that your Uncle Wang and I are just short-changers."

Lin Wushang: "Aunt An is overrated. In fact, you and Uncle Wang have played the greatest role.

“I, holding the cement prescription, am like a child swaggering through the market with gold bricks in my arms, and those aristocratic families are like wolves, tigers and leopards surrounding me.

"Without your protection, even if the cement factory is open, it will be forced to close down by the family. I'm afraid I won't be able to save the cement formula in my hand.

"You two just don't do anything. Just say a few words and those people won't dare to act rashly. That's enough."

This is why he and Lin Xi will give [-]% of their shares to the queen.

The queen is the magic needle that can keep the cement factory safe and sound.

No matter how powerful the aristocratic family was, they would not dare to blatantly steal the queen's business.

Emperor: "Since opening a factory will attract covetous attention, can't we just secretly produce cement ourselves?"

Such a good thing as cement, he subconsciously wanted to hide it from others.

The queen glanced at the emperor. "You can produce secretly, but when your post station is built, can you still hide it? How can those wealthy families not inquire about the source of the cement?
“Instead of waiting for them to inquire, it’s better to reveal it openly from the beginning.

"More importantly, by opening a factory and selling cement, you can make a steady stream of money, and you can also take the opportunity to plunder those aristocratic families. Don't you want to make money from those aristocratic families?"

The emperor did not hesitate: "Of course I do!
"Those aristocratic families are extremely rich, but they always cry about poverty in front of me. This is not allowed and that is not allowed.

"This time, I want to see if they are willing to spend money after seeing such good things as cement!"

Thinking about that scene, it’s strange to look forward to it.

It was a sunny day with a gentle spring breeze.

The queen held a spring flower viewing party by Taiye Lake.

All family members of officials with rank five or above were invited to attend.

There is an artificial island on Taiye Lake - Penglai Island. The island is covered with strange and fragrant grasses and the scenery is quite beautiful.

The willow silk is like smoke by the lake, and there are also romantic scenery such as peach groves, peonies, jade bridges and blue waves, which make people linger and be fascinated.

The guests who came to the banquet were scattered among various pleasant and picturesque scenery, playing the piano, painting, or playing games... There were sweet voices everywhere, making it a charming and romantic scene.

After the banquet officially began, the palace officials led the guests to the Taiye Palace by the lake.

Everyone is seated according to their rank.

"The Queen has always advocated frugality and dislikes extravagance and waste. She has never held any flower-viewing banquet in the past. How come she wants to do it this year?"

"I think it was His Majesty's order."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Didn't you listen to your masters? Your Majesty wanted to build a post road connecting the capital and Yuezhou, but the masters in the court rejected it.

"Your Majesty has no choice, so you have to bow to us? This flower appreciation party is obviously about admiring the flowers in the garden, but in fact, I'm afraid it's these flower-like ladies we brought here."

"Ah, you mean, His Majesty is going to choose a concubine? Is he planning to fill the harem?"

"Nine times out of ten, it is, otherwise why would the Queen hold a flower-viewing banquet so well?"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have brought my third wife into the palace. Hey, what would I do if I was chosen?"

"Not to mention whether you will be selected or not, even if you are selected, you can just find any reason to refuse. A daughter from a family like ours is not something that the emperor can marry if he wants."

"That's right. Entering the palace and becoming the emperor's concubine, how can you get glory by marrying into a first-class family?"

"Yesterday's surname is Yin, and today's surname is Wang. I still don't know what my surname will be tomorrow. Instead of going to the palace to fight for the unknown variables, it is better to work hard to establish a relationship with a first-class family. This world is going round and round. , after all, the world is still ruled by aristocratic families.”

"The Empress is here—"

As the chamberlain sang a salute, everyone who was chatting in the hall stopped and stood up to salute.

The queen held the little princess with her left hand and Lin Xi with her right hand, and slowly walked into the palace.

Arriving at the top position, the queen turned around and said, "Sit flat."

The little princess Fengyang and Lin Xi sat next to the queen, one on the left and the other on the right. The two little figures were dressed in goose yellow and light green. They both had picturesque eyebrows and pink and jade carvings, just like the two little fairies under the Queen Mother's throne. .

This caused the female family members below to look over frequently.

The little princess is familiar to them, but who is the other little girl next to the queen?
Never seen it before.

The queen had no intention of introducing Xibao to everyone.

After all, Xibao is not the daughter of a palace marquis. If she is solemnly introduced to the ladies, it will inevitably attract their attention.

If Xibao is involved in disputes about right and wrong, it will be her fault.

Xibao will eventually leave the palace and the capital, so there is no need for her to draw attention to others.
