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

Li Hui took out the plan she had prepared a long time ago and placed it on the table. She rejected the greetings from the people around her and knocked on the table. The chaotic venue immediately fell silent.

"Since I'm asked to solve this problem." Li Hui glanced around, sneered, and said straight to the point, "Then come and listen to my opinion."

"First of all, I hope that Persia will relax some taxes..."

She spoke softly.

What can be said, but every word is heart-wrenching.

If it's just to let Persia relax some taxes, that's fine.

But the content of Li Hui's words is not only that, it even... There is a faint meaning that merchants are superior to some small nobles who have no fiefdoms and no retainers.

When necessary, if merchants open factories and need land, those little nobles will also contribute their land.

Of course, the content here is not only biased towards merchants.

Phoenix Nest will set up a chamber of commerce in Persia.

Persian merchants doing business in Persia will be protected by the chamber of commerce—for example, if the nobles bully merchants, the chamber of commerce will mediate.

Of course, there is a small membership fee for this.

Fengchao will also help transport goods from Persia to Datang, of course, this also requires some small fees.

even…

What tempted the Persian merchants the most was Li Hui's final promise that they would give some of their technology to these merchants at their discretion.

Of course, this still requires some small fees, such as... licensing fees, trademark usage fees, etc. Li Hui was very kind and didn't say it directly.

The more Elder Kupsoe listened, the more terrified he felt.

This…

Feng Chao's hand was stretched too far, the thing he was most worried about still happened.

But it wasn't to the extent that he couldn't tolerate it. Feng Chao's hand was only moving the development of Persia's domestic economy, and had no intention of involving other fields.

He hesitated for a while, looked at the cute faces of Li Huina and Li Lizhi who were almost the same, but still held back and didn't speak.

But just because he can hold back, doesn't mean that the remaining two ministers can hold back.

They have never been to Datang, let alone deal with people from Datang.

One person slammed the table, stood up, and glared at Li Hui: "Impossible!"

The loud and sudden sound made Li Hui startled.

If it wasn't for the maid supporting her, she would have almost fallen off the chair.

"It's just a lowly businessman, how can he be so pampered!" The minister was impassioned. If Elder Kupso hadn't ripped off his clothes, he would have even scolded, "Cut some taxes, for Datang's sake." In fact, we can bear it, but it is absolutely impossible to cede so many benefits!"

"Your Royal Highness, I don't want Tang to have conflicts with Persia either."

Li Hui couldn't understand Persian.

She asked the translator next to her, "Does this person have any objections to my decision?"

The translator nodded, but didn't intend to continue the translation.

Elder Kupso, who could understand Chinese, twitched his eyelids, and a great ominousness welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly moved away from the minister.

But... his old body made his movements slow.

Li Hui raised her hand.

The maid behind her decisively took out a pistol from her sleeve, aimed at the impassioned minister, pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced his head.

Blood splashed Elder Kupso and another minister all over his body.

"Does anyone have any objections now?" Li Hui glanced at the few remaining people. Whether it was the people from the Persian royal court or the merchants, they couldn't help shivering.

Li Hui's methods are ruthless, which he learned from Wu Hui.

Did she come here to solve the problem?

That was just an excuse to prevaricate the Persians.

She just came here to help Fengchao make money, as for the rest, it doesn't matter at all.

The royal court of Persia didn't dare to resist, Li Hui, maybe they still have a way to deal with it, but... Behind Li Hui, there is the giant named "Da Tang".

This is an existence that they cannot and cannot resist.

Li Hui's order was carried out at an extremely fast speed.

The rebel army disbanded on the spot, and merchants from all walks of life quickly resumed their businesses. During this period of time, they had already lost a lot.

Those nobles, especially those with only a small fiefdom, have a lot of opinions.

Why... their existence, they have to give in to those merchants?

But soon, the smart people among these small nobles discovered one thing. They have land, power, and resources. Why do they let those small merchants do business?

Why can't I?

With Li Hui's more or less fueling, many of these nobles in Persia began to change their direction, and slowly started to manage merchants.

This is not Datang, no one is in charge of them.

This group of people started their business with a barbaric attitude.

Weaving, minerals, plant resources... These things were roughly plundered and processed by them, and then put on the ship to Datang.

two months later.

Tang Jian enjoys a life in a foreign country. Persian girls are well-known in Chang'an, but now...he doesn't have to pay for it.

Not to mention the ordinary Persian servants, even the wives of the nobles tried every means to get into his bedding, even with the help of their husbands.

It was the first time that Tang Jian was taken aback.

But now he has gradually gotten used to it, and even feels a little boring.

But... the good times have an end after all.

He received a message from Li Hui that it was time for them to return.

"I'm going back now?" Tang Jian was a little reluctant to part with him. He heard that in the remote Persian territory, there was a count's wife who was extremely beautiful.

Now on the way to the capital.

If he waits another half a month, maybe he still has a chance to give it a try.

"Of course." Li Hui nodded, she was still a pure girl, and she didn't know the filth in Tang Jian's heart, "The 100 million guan needed by the court has already been earned."

"The affairs of the chamber of commerce are also on the right track, and we will only send people again, just dispatch normally."

Tang Jian's eyelids twitched, and he was a little surprised: "Have you earned 100 million coins? Impossible..."

Too fast.

It's only been two months.

In other words... an average of 50 Tang coins a month?How rich is the country of Persia?
He was a little frustrated.

A mere Persia, under Fengchao's hands, can achieve a monthly revenue of 50 yuan, but Datang...in his hands, the annual tax revenue is just so small.

Li Hui shook her head: "It's just the money earned from squeezing the whole of Persia, there's nothing to talk about."
