I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Yin Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shimin quietly with a smile.

Li Shimin coughed uncomfortably again.

When everyone knew each other's identities, Li Shimin lost the unscrupulous confidence he had before saying these words.

"Oh? Are you sure it's because it's easier to lay?" Yin Xuan raised his legs and asked.

Li Shimin nodded.

Yin Xuan laughed, and asked again: "Are you sure it's not because you want to share the credit with the court and His Majesty."

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then nodded with difficulty.

Why is this kid so sharp!

"Really? I don't believe it." Yin Xuan shook his head decisively and said it in a teasing tone.

Li Shimin was stunned.

"But your proposal is indeed a good thing." Yin Xuan put down his raised legs and poked his head forward, "How about this..."

Li Shimin held his breath, ready to be yelled at by Yin Xuan.

"The matter of using electricity, I can completely leave it to the court." Yin Xuan opened his mouth, and the first sentence he uttered made Li Shimin stunned, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

Can it be completely handed over to the court?

No matter what the price is, the word "complete" cannot be compared with any price.

"What price do you want the court to pay?" Li Shimin asked hesitantly.

Yin Xuan raised a finger: "In the future, no matter where I use electricity for my restaurants or factories, I only need to pay half of the electricity bill."

Li Shimin waited for Yin Xuan's next words.

But that's all.

"That's it?" Li Shimin was a little surprised.

Yin Xuan nodded.

It is impossible for Yin Xuan to do the power plant business. It sounds like controlling electricity is a very good thing... But it is useless. Yin Xuan does not expect to use electricity to make money. It's too tasteless.

But if you don't expect to make money from power generation, but make it into a commodity for people's livelihood...

In fact, it is a loss-making business.

Laying circuits in Chang'an City is relatively simple, and the cost is not very high, but you can go to counties, townships, villages, and villages to lay circuit equipment step by step. Which step does not cost money?

There is also the cost of maintaining and supporting people, and natural and man-made disasters also have to be considered.

It can be said... If the power plant is spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands or even millions of copper coins will be spent every day when you open your eyes.

With small profits but quick turnover, you may be able to make some money, but if there is a fire, water disaster, or earth dragon turning around, it can almost be said that you will definitely lose money.

Will Yin Xuan do business at a loss?

He will not.

Even if restaurants and factories could afford it, he would not do such a thing.

The matter of losing money is left to the imperial court, anyway they want fame.As long as you can protect your own interests.

If he didn't feel that taking advantage of too much would become a target of public criticism, Yin Xuan even wanted to ask for free electricity bills. When those machines are researched in the future, the power consumption may be much more than the entire Chang'an city.

Li Shimin pondered Yin Xuan's words, how much electricity can factories and restaurants use?Left and right are just turning on more light bulbs, and it's not like Yin Xuan doesn't give money.

He even wanted to give money!
What a son-in-law!

Li Shimin felt that his eyes were a little moist—even though they were scorched by the fireworks: "Is it too bad for you?" He was worried about his son-in-law.

Yin Xuan smiled and shook his head.

Li Shimin sighed again, although his son-in-law fights, he only fights for the benefits he deserves. In the world, he can find another noble man like him who is not at all tempted by such great benefits. what?
He clenched his fists.

Compared with Yin Xuan's Gao Jie, the imperial court always owed Yin Xuan, the last closure should give him a real deal!
This time, he, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the co-lord of the world, will not compromise on the benefits his son-in-law deserves.

"The imperial court will definitely not owe you anything." Li Shimin stretched out his hand and patted Yin Xuan's shoulder with a serious face.

Yin Xuan turned his head in disgust: "You have promoted your official position."

Li Shimin gasped.

Such an affectionate atmosphere where one should talk to each other from the bottom of one's heart, and the result is just such a sentence?

"Okay, okay, go up, go up." Li Shimin sighed helplessly, and agreed.It's also...it's time for me to be promoted, otherwise Yin Xuan will always use this excuse to bully me.

The scholar at the table next to him poked his head and laughed and joked: "I said, old man, you can't just talk nonsense after drinking a little wine."

"That's right, it's not that easy to get promoted, you can get promoted if you say so."

Yin Xuan paused, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

The two busy guys looked at the scholar who said this with complicated eyes.

Do you know who you are talking to?
Getting promoted is hard.

But... on the side of the restaurant, what kind of official position he wants to give himself is a matter of opening his mouth. Even if he says that he is Zhongshuling, Pushe or even Tongping Zhangshi now, the court will not have any objection .

The guys sighed and got on with their work.

They knew Li Shimin's identity. Before Zhao Yue and Han Yuan left the restaurant, they told the new arrivals Li Shimin and Li Yuan their identities.

You can't be like Zhao Yue, who just missed taking off Li Yuan's clothes.

Hearing the words of these scholars, Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "If I can be promoted within three days, how about asking me to burn a knife for a catty?"

The scholar hesitated: "You won't get a promotion order from the court, will you?"

Li Shimin said confidently: "No!"

"But I have such a good son-in-law, it's just a mere promotion."

The scholars at this table were sure that Li Shimin had indeed drunk too much, and just wanted to agree.

Yin Xuan kicked Li Shimin's stool lightly: "Don't bully these people."

"Besides, am I sure you can drink that much?"

The scholar shook his head: "Hey, shopkeeper, it's just burning knives for a catty, and it's not meant to be soaked in a wine tank."

Yin Xuan shook his head and said earnestly: "He is old and his body is not good."

Li Shimin frowned upon hearing this "no".

"It's for his health to control his drinking every day. If he drinks too much suddenly, it will be even worse. My mother-in-law is afraid that she will smash my restaurant with the mahjong table."

When the mother-in-law was mentioned, the scholars at the table burst into laughter.

Li Shimin slapped the table and stood up with staring eyes: "Nonsense, you are slandering!"

"Why can't I die!"

"Ah, don't believe what the store says, I'm fine!"

As soon as he stood up and explained, the people at the table laughed even brighter.Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to smile openly, so they could only shrink their necks, cover their faces and smile secretly.
