Just think about it, Your Majesty knows the price of spices better than anyone else.

It takes more than ten kilograms of spices to extract just a tiny bit of perfume.

The cost involved is extremely high.

Moreover, perfume making requires temperature control; it cannot be too hot. Therefore, it can only be produced in Dongning City and transported to the capital by sea, incurring countless costs in transportation and labor.

All things considered, the cost alone is extremely high.

Naturally, you won't make much money from this.

Li Xin's words were half true and half false, naturally intended to mislead Li Ming.

After all, Li Xin was now very clear about what Li Ming was after.

He probably wants the perfume formula!

This is Li Xin's most valuable tool for making money, so why would he give it away so easily?

"Yeah?"

Li Ming gave Li Xin a meaningful look, picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and said nothing more.

“How could I dare to deceive you, my brother, the emperor?”

Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother, I'm in Dongning City tinkering with these things just to make some money."

In Dongning City, the weather is freezing cold and conditions are harsh, making life extremely difficult.

My younger brother doesn't have any grand ambitions in life; he just wants to be a wealthy man.

When I have nothing to do, I can look at the snow, look at the sea, have a little wine, and spend a nice night with a beautiful woman. That's enough!

The reason for opening the Qingyu Trading Company is for this purpose.

Unfortunately, something happened recently.

Hopefully, Qingyu Trading Company can make a little money from these things in the future, that would be enough.

"I'm not like you, my elder brother. I've never had any ambitions since I was young; I'm just content to live a good life."
