Wu Yi continued, "Your Majesty, this dry wine is sold at such a high price, but it is still in short supply. The annual revenue is more than a million!"
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what does the treasury need so much money for?"
“Can you spend it all?”
King Kang sneered, "You are so easy to talk about. Has my royal family ever lived a prosperous life?"
"Now that this dry wine has just been put on sale, you're already eyeing it!"
"You're lucky enough to say that!"
"In the past, the internal treasury did not make any money, so we had to allocate funds from the court every year."
"But, when the court needs money, doesn't the treasury always take money out?"
"Let's not talk about the distant past, let's just talk about this battle with the barbaric Zhenbei City."
"The treasury was tightening its belt and took out 150,000 strings of cash!"
"Now that the treasury has finally come up with something to make money, and you're already targeting it before we even make any money!"
"I just want to ask, how can this be true?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another minister stood up to refute him.
However, King Kang has great fighting ability, and his identity and status are there. Even when facing off against many opponents, he is not at a disadvantage at all.
Of course, there were also some ministers who did not comment on this matter.
Watching the two sides arguing, Jiang Wan'er frowned slightly and reached out to tap lightly on the dragon desk.
Both sides immediately stopped fighting.
Jiang Wan'er said calmly, "It seems like there's quite a lot of controversy about this matter."
Saying,
Her eyes fell on Zuo Xiang: "Zuo Xiang, tell me your opinion."
The left prime minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really hard to come to a conclusion."
"As King Kang said, this dry wine was made by the royal family and should be privately owned by the royal family."
"If it is put under the management of the imperial court, it is indeed against the rules of propriety."
"However, what Lord Wu and Lord Han said is not without reason."
“First of all, this is a really huge amount of money.”
"It's really not a good thing for the royal family to control so much money."
"And the court is extremely short of money. Because of the lack of money, many things cannot be done."
"So, in my opinion."
"Why not give the right to operate the dry liquor business to the imperial court, and then the imperial treasury can take 20% of the annual operating income."
"The rest of the money belongs to the court."
“That solves the problem.”
Hearing what he said, Wu Yi, Han Fu and many other ministers all agreed.
King Kang said loudly: "Your Majesty, the management rights of Ganjiu must not be transferred to the court!"
"However, we can discuss the possibility of giving a portion of our annual income to the court."
"But I have to make it clear that this money is all from the imperial treasury!"
"No matter how much it is, this is the contribution made by my royal family!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded after hearing this.
"Well, at present, the method that the emperor's uncle mentioned is the most in line with etiquette."
"In that case, let's do as the emperor's uncle says."
"The operating rights of Ganjiu still belong to the imperial treasury. As for how much of it should be given to the court every year."
"In my opinion, 50% is enough!"
"You all know that this liquor is a collaboration with Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao owns 50% of the shares."
"The treasury is only 50%."
"If we take out half of this 50% and give it to the court, there won't be much left in the treasury!"
"What do you think, gentlemen?"
Wu Yi quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the shareholding ratio of the cooperation between the Royal Family and Zhao Hao should be adjusted."
"As far as I know, in the cooperation between the two parties, Zhao Hao only provided the method of making wine."
"Everything else, from setting up the wine shop to selling the wine, will be handled by Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"It can be said that the royal family has taken on more responsibilities."
"Therefore, I think the share ratio between the two parties should be adjusted."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhao Wenxiang.
However, Zhao Wenxiang kept his ears and nose focused, as if he didn't hear anything.
There was no expression on his face.
Jiang Wan'er said calmly, "Then what degree do you think the adjustment should be made to?"
Wu Yi said, "Based on the proportion of the tasks undertaken by the two parties, I think it is more appropriate for Zhao Hao to take 10%."
"Fifty percent of the profits is too much!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded and looked at Zhao Wenxiang again.
"Zhao Qing, what do you mean?"
Zhao Wenxiang said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have not been involved in this matter from beginning to end."
"It was all done after discussion between that unfilial son of yours truly and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Although I am his father, there is no reason for me to make decisions for him."
"However, as long as His Majesty nods, I can agree on his behalf!"
"Not to mention 10%, even if you give it all to the treasury, I am willing to do so!"
Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but smile softly.
"One percent, I think it's still too much."
"After all, the method of making this dry wine originated from Zhao Hao."
“This is where it all started.”
"Now that they see they are making money, they are changing the share ratio. What's the difference between this and robbing money?"
"If this were known to the world, the royal family would lose all their dignity!"
"However, some appropriate adjustments should be made."
"In my opinion, the share ratio between Zhao Hao and the inner treasury should be adjusted to 30% and 70%."
"The treasury will provide 70% and Zhao Hao will provide 30%."
"Of the 70% of the treasury, half will be given to the court every year."
"As for the issue of operating rights, there is no need to discuss it further."
"The court cannot interfere!"
Jiang Wan'er left no room for doubt and made the final decision, settling the matter.
The ministers said no more.
He nodded quickly and said yes.
The meeting is over.
Jiang Wan'er returned to the Pepper Room.
After changing into casual clothes, he looked at Manager Qu.
"Go call that girl Yongning over here."
"By the way, summon Zhao Hao to the palace."
"I still have to explain this matter to them both."
"Why……"
Jiang Wan'er sighed helplessly.
How could she not know what Wu Yi, Han Fu and others, and even the Left Prime Minister, were thinking?
It's simply that the major families see that dry wine will be extremely profitable in the future, and some of them can't sit still.
It is true that they want a share of the profits, as this will indeed help the court to do more things.
But more importantly, they want the operating rights of Ganjiu.
Eunuch Qu took the order and left.
Soon, Princess Yongning arrived.
"Royal sister, I haven't reported to you yet. Zhao Hao and I already started selling the dry wine yesterday!"
"We sell it for eight hundred coins per catty!"
"In less than two hours, more than a thousand kilograms of wine were sold out!"
"We earned more than a thousand strings of cash!"
"Royal sister, it's more than a thousand strings of cash!"
"Now we finally have money in our treasury, and we don't have to spend the court's money anymore!"
Yesterday afternoon, she and Zhao Hao returned to the first floor to celebrate.
I got drunk after just a few drinks.
Then I rested for a while on the first floor.
He didn't wake up until late at night and returned to the palace.
The excitement I felt since I woke up this morning hasn't subsided yet.
