Li Longji did not know what it was, but he guessed that it should be poisonous gas or smoke. Otherwise, there was no need to use it when the wind was blowing. Seeing the two of them smiling so sinisterly, the power of the weapon was definitely not small.
"Be careful." Li Longji pondered for a moment and said seriously to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, it is usually placed in the warehouse under the cave. There is no one around for dozens of miles."
"Since that is the case, I am relieved." Li Longji exhaled. He was really afraid that he would accidentally implicate the capital, so he asked: "What is the name of the medicine used to kill insects? It has to be different from the other Tartans. "
"Replying to Your Majesty, it is called Phosphopiperazine Tartans." Zhang Xiaobao replied with a smile. He felt that the name was not bad.
Wang Juan laughed as well. She knew that Zhang Xiaobao's only legitimate business in the past was the pharmaceutical factory. While he was earning money to maintain the operations of the pharmaceutical factory, he was also producing children's medicines and giving them to schools under various names. He even placed them in the infirmary. Two people had even died because of this. The two people who had taken over the drug distribution of a city were the leaders of the City Health Bureau. They actually dared to take Zhang Xiaobao's medicine and sell it for money.
Li Longji did not think that the name was good. He frowned and asked: "Why is it this name? I want to know why the name of the new medicine developed by the Medical Academy is always a mouthful. "
"Replying to Your Majesty, other than the names of the people who made the medicine, we changed the names of the researchers. The other names are the names of the system used together with the Ministry of Works. Other than the names, the symbols are also the same. The other medicinal materials are also named according to their original names, such as bezoar, cinnabar, and licorice.
This is to make it easier for the medical staff to master the medicine. In the past, we also tried to write the words in the medical books in vernacular, otherwise it would look too vague. Now, we have everything, and there is no need to carve words on bamboo. We don't need to worry about wasting materials.
For example, in our math problem, there is this. Today, there is a woman swinging a cup on the river. The scholar asked: 'Why are there so many cups?' The woman said: 'There are guests.' The scholar asked: 'How many guests?' The woman said: 'Two people share a meal, three people share a soup, four people share a piece of meat. Do you not know how many guests there are?
If a child wants to answer this question, they need to learn Chinese well. Otherwise, they won't be able to understand it. It's the same when you put it in medicine. The effects of a medicine can be explained in a few sentences. If you insist on making it sound so scholarly, it will affect the learning speed. "
Zhang Xiaobao explained why it had to be systematic and simplified.
Wang Juan nodded as she listened. At that time, Chinese medicine was not very good. It was weak, not because of the wrong philosophy, but because not many people could understand it. It was too difficult. It was not an isolated existence, but entangled with Chinese culture. Not to mention how much effort it took to learn Chinese medicine, just to understand Chinese culture, how many people dared to stand out and say that they understood it?
Coupled with the impact of western medicine and advanced equipment, traditional Chinese medicine was bound to be dormant for a period of time. As for the claim that traditional Chinese medicine could not cure diseases, it was purely a malicious attack. Didn't you see that many foreign athletes used Yunnan Baiyao spray?
If only the learning of traditional Chinese medicine could be simpler. If only there was a machine that could simulate all kinds of pulse and the reactions of acupuncture points, it would be much easier to learn traditional Chinese medicine.
Wang Juan's thoughts were flying. Li Longji was also thinking about Zhang Xiaobao's words. Then, he nodded, "Good system. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Xiao Bao, tell me, is there an elixir of immortality? Now that technology is so advanced, can we research it? "
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaobao felt that his heart had stopped, "Now that technology is so advanced? Your Majesty, to be honest, in theory, there is, but I can't wait for that day. Your Majesty, this life … "
"Alright, you don't have to talk about principles with me. I'm just asking. Listen to the crosstalk. It's not easy to perform on stage in such a cold day. Listen carefully and don't let other people waste their time."
Li Longji did not need Zhang Xiaobao to persuade him. He waved his hand and looked at the stage. It was not close, so he could not see clearly. However, the sound could be heard through the speakers.
The people also tried their best to quiet down and listen to the crosstalk. Usually, they would not be able to see high-level performances from the Pear Garden. Moreover, they were eating and drinking for free now.
Li Longji did not think there was anything funny about the crosstalk. It was not even as funny as Little Bei's serious storytelling.
When he thought about Little Bei, Li Longji thought about the problem of red packets. He wondered if he should reward Little Bei with a house or something. He could not give Little Bei an official position or money.
While he was thinking, the crosstalk ended, and the dance performance began. Little Bei and the group of children gathered again. Their faces were brimming with smiles of the new year. Li Longji immediately felt the spring breeze piercing his bones.
"Uncle Emperor, did you hear the crosstalk just now? It was so fun! I laughed until my stomach hurt. " Little Bei was the first to come forward. He rubbed his stomach with one hand and burped. Perhaps, his stomach hurt because he was full.
"I heard it. It was fun. I laughed until my head hurt." Li Longji smiled as well.
Little Bei raised his hand and rubbed his head again. He seemed to empathize with Li Longji as he said, "That's right, that's right. My head hurts too. Uncle Emperor, I remember when we were in Lu Zhou, you said that you would allow us to open our precious candy house to Japan. Is that true?"
"Yes. Did you open it there?" Li Longji had long forgotten about it, but he pretended to remember.
The children shook their heads regretfully at the same time. Little Bei said, "No. Japan is so poor that their children can't afford to eat cakes and other candies. However, after giving it some thought, in the spirit of internationalism and humanitarianism, we decided to open our precious candy house there.
Then, we thought about it. Since we can open a shop in Japan, can we open a shop in other places as well? Moreover, Uncle Emperor, you said that you would give us red packets. So, we made a request. What do you think? "
Li Longji stopped all his actions. His eyes were fixed on a certain spot as his mind raced. In Lu Zhou's opinion, it was only a joke when he said that he would allow Little Bei and the others to open their precious candy house in Japan. When the precious candy house saw that Japan had nothing to do with Great Tang, it did not matter whether they agreed or not.
However, now that they suddenly brought it up, it would not be so simple. It was just like when they pooled their resources to open 4,000 shops. It was very smart for a group of children to gather together.
After thinking for half a minute, Li Longji still could not think of a plan for the children. He did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "What request? Let's hear it. "
"It's very simple. Our precious candy house will be in charge of all goods that are related to children in Great Tang in the future. No one else is allowed to buy or sell these goods without permission. We don't want the goods from Great Tang. We'll use this as our red packets. Uncle Emperor, what do you think?"
Little Bei blinked its big eyes and gestured with its hands as it looked at Li Longji expectantly.
When Li Longji heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. He thought it would be a difficult problem. It was just the business of buying and selling children's goods. What kind of business could they do outside Great Tang? As Little Bei had said, Japan was extremely poor. The other islands were even worse off than Japan. How could they make money outside?
A child was a child, after all. Li Longji was disappointed that the child did not come up with a good idea. He nodded. Just as he was about to agree, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly spoke.
"No, change it."
"Why? Change … Change it to the right to set the price, okay? "Little Bei pouted and made another request.
"No." Just as Li Longji was about to agree, Zhang Xiaobao vetoed it.
"You still can't? Then it's the right to audit the goods that are related to the import and export of children. "Little Bei changed another request.
"No." Zhang Xiaobao still did not agree.
Li Longji couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xiao Bao, look at Little Bei and the others. It's not like they have it easy. Besides, this is a matter of the outside world, not Great Tang itself. What's wrong with that? Cuckoo, don't you agree? How can an older brother bully a younger brother and sister? "
Li Longji looked for Wang Juan to form an alliance.
Wang Juan's eyebrows shot up. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "The benefits involved are too great. It's impossible for a single family to monopolize it. How about this? Fifty percent of the children's goods, including raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products, will be given to you."
"Wait a moment." Little Bei turned around and ran off to discuss with the others.
Li Longji looked back and forth between Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in astonishment. He didn't understand why the two of them had changed their usual indulgence toward their younger brother and sister. Could it be that there was a reason behind the conditions that Little Bei and the others had proposed?
After a while, Little Bei turned around and looked at his brother and sister. He smiled shyly and said, "Okay, we agree. However, in order to ensure that the children of Great Tang and international children can eat and use things that they can be assured of, we need to set up a catalog of children's products and set up a supervision committee. At the same time, we need to set up a quota for merchants. There will be three teams and one team. For the time being, there will be nineteen people."
"I feel that this matter …"
"No." Before Li Longji could finish his sentence, Zhang Xiaobao rejected him again and said, "Of the nineteen people, you've already taken up ten of them. With the addition of the four younger ones, you'll have fourteen people in the future. All three groups will be yours.
The catalog of children's products will be set up in Great Tang's import and export control system. We won't give it to you. You can join the supervision committee, but your precious Candy House can only take one spot. The quota for merchants will be calculated once a year. The number and capital of merchants involved in children's products will be rearranged. "
"Just wait." Little Bei had no choice and went back to study.
Li Longji asked softly, "Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, is the matter that Little Bei proposed very profitable? I understand the power, but there doesn't seem to be any place with money outside of Great Tang. Why won't they agree to the children? "
"At first, it sounds like it's just a matter of children's products. Your Majesty, do you know how many aspects are involved in children's products? There are rules for the finished products, but what about the raw materials?
If the flour used to make a cake is labeled as a child's product, who can guarantee that all the flour will be used to make a child's cake? For example, silk used to make clothes, porcelain used to make children's tableware, and vice versa. "
Wang Juan took over and explained to Li Longji.
Li Longji swallowed hard and nodded slowly. "So they're not stupid. I almost fell into their trap. I blame myself for not learning from my mistakes."
Xiao Bei came back again and said helplessly, "Alright, but we request that the import and export price of other merchants' products cannot be lower than the price of our similar products. This similar product is set based on the materials that are 70% similar. Otherwise, if they change it, it won't be able to become a similar product."
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "We'll calculate according to the proportion of the cost of the raw materials. Darling Candy House includes the cost of the brand, so we can't ask other merchants according to the actual price."
"I knew it would be like this. We've already thought about it. The calculation of the cost of the raw materials is based on the specific situation of the goods in Great Tang and the audit conditions in the laws and regulations." Little Bei immediately followed up. It seemed that everyone had worked hard just now. Now that the opponent was Big Brother, it was no longer easy to fool him.
Zhang Xiaobao said, "We'll have to calculate according to the actual tax …"
"Why? Our Darling Candy House is exempt from taxes. Yes, the cost is low, but we've paid in other aspects. The tax exemption is an exchange, right? According to this, they've lowered the price. When it comes to the outside world, people don't know Darling Candy House like they do in Great Tang. The products are more or less the same. Whoever has a lower price will have an easier time selling.
Also, the new products that we've researched ourselves, they'll steal it. I don't care. I want to add all the research fees to the cost, including the design fees for the few of us. In the past, it was just dividends. Now, we're asking for a position and a salary. "
Little Bei couldn't take it anymore. Her eyes were red and she was about to cry.
"Alright, let's not talk about taxes. But if you're too harsh on them, they won't be willing to go out and open up the market. In the future, whoever opens up the market will enjoy a certain amount of benefits and initiative."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't continue to negotiate. He chuckled and took a big step back.
Wang Juan hugged Little Bei and glared at Zhang Xiaobao. She comforted her sister, "Your brother is used to being in the right state of mind when talking about business. He doesn't care who his opponent is. Our Little Bei is still the best. You know so much."
"Everyone discussed it together. If I had known earlier, I would have found a chance to talk to Uncle Emperor alone." Little Bei blinked her eyes and her tears disappeared.
"Your Uncle Emperor is easy to fool, right? Now you know that there's an expert by my side, right? When the time comes, other merchants will gang up to bully you. Let's see what you can do. "Li Longji said to Little Bei with a smile.
Little Bei rolled her eyes and pursed her lips tightly. She shook her head at Weiwei with a smug look on her face.
"There's something I don't understand." Crown Prince Li Hong, who had been listening for a long time, finally couldn't help but ask. When he asked, he looked at Little Bei.
"Brother Crown Prince, please ask." Little Bei was still very polite.
"Outside of Great Tang, are there any children who buy your products? They're so backward. "Li Hong asked the question in his heart.
"The best way to make adults spend money is to start with the children. The best way to make a country fall is to start with the children's classes. The best way to make a nation prosper is to first ensure the health and education of the children. This is what Big Brother and Big Sister said in the story. Thus, our Darling Candy House's four thousand chain stores are always paying attention to the children of Great Tang."
Little Bei shook her head and explained.
Li Hong took a deep breath and nodded. "I understand. Let me ask you one more question. What do you use to settle the bill?"
"If they have their own currency, we'll use their money to settle the bill." Little Bei said.
"What if they issue a large amount of currency?" Li Hong asked again.
"Then they're dead. At that time, it won't be my Darling Candy House that does it, but the other departments of Great Tang that do it. Foreign trade is not isolated. Any business conducted in another country has the support of their own country." Two dimples appeared on Little Bei's face.
