Chapter 1231 The promise made back then

Li Xiang was really uncomfortable, but fortunately he still understood the importance of the matter.

“How much revenue did we make nationally last year?”

Li Xiang took the time to divert the topic. If he didn't divert the topic, Changsun Pingting would seem to have magical powers.

Others may not understand what this magic power is, but Li Xiang himself understands that this is Sister Yu.

"A total of 120 million yuan has been collected, all of which are in cash. As for the items of equal value, it is not easy to calculate now. It will not be calculated until the end of the year. The other expenses are about 23 million yuan. ."

Changsun Pingting didn't need to look at the account books at all. All the ledgers were kept in her mind. This was one of the reasons why Li Xiang felt confident in handing over the business empire to Changsun Pingting.

"It looks like revenue has dropped quite a bit."

Li Xiang didn't blame it. Of course, he also knew why his income dropped. It was mainly because of some new gadgets. After the novelty wears off, you won't be able to sell it at such a high price.

"Following your instructions, we franchised many stores. In addition to collecting part of the management fees, the remaining profits were taken away by some small families in various places. This way we can better control them, but the performance Monetarily, our income is down at least about 40 million dollars."

Changsun Pingting certainly understands what Li Xiang means. One of the main reasons why Wu Xing Qi Wang is able to reach the whole country is that they have many partners in various places. Now we hand over some of our stores to them, so they can make money. With a lot of money, these people know who to lean on. This is also an important reason for the decline in the strength of Wu Xing Qi Wang.

"Let them make this money in the past two years. When next year comes, you have to slowly start to reduce the profits in their hands, but at the same time, you have to make them unable to live without us. To put it bluntly, these people are ordinary people. If they hadn’t been looking for stability in the past two years, I would have attacked them long ago.”

Li Xiang has long been dissatisfied with these powerful landowners in various places, but because there is an external war, the internal stability of the Tang Dynasty must be stable, and the influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes is still there, so there are some things that cannot be done That's too much.

"Don't worry, I am already making changes in this regard. Many people have benefited from us and have begun to give up part of the traditional industry, and we have accepted all the shares they gave up. "

Coming from modern society, Li Xiang certainly understands the benefits of state-owned assets. As long as you hold state-owned assets in your own hands and form a monopoly in some important industries, then the economic lifeline of the entire country will be in your hands, no matter what happens in court. As long as you still control this part of the economic lifeline, you will always have the final say.

The current stage is when Li Xiang creates state-owned assets. When choosing successors in the future, this part will be handed over to them intact. Although it cannot guarantee the eternal foundation of the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as giving them an extra As for the ability to recruit enemies, as for how these descendants will survive, it depends on their own heads.

"Let's talk while eating. The weather is starting to get cold now. Let's have a mutton pot to keep warm."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the people below began to put out the mutton pot, as well as a series of condiments such as sesame juice. If modern people saw it, they would have to make sure their gastrointestinal tract is opened.

"Several famous doctors have said that my baby will definitely be a son. You must remember what you promised me back then."

After going around and around, there is still no way around it. Li Xiang himself is unwilling to talk about such things, but at this moment, Changsun Pingting asked Li Xiang's face. If Li Xiang didn't say it, or what he said was not so sure. If so, then the eldest son Pingting will definitely be under a lot of psychological pressure. In the upcoming birth, the eldest son Pingting will definitely bear this pressure. Li Xiang does not dare to bet.

"Why do you say that your man is also the grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Ordinary men are still frothing at the same time. Can it be changed if I say it out? Now I repeat to you again, as long as he is my son, in the future Everyone has the same opportunity, as long as he has talent, that position is his."

After Li Xiang said this, a smile appeared on Changsun Pingting's face. She was waiting for this sentence. Although Li Xiang had said it before, women all have their own worries. When Li Xiang said these words, , Changsun Pingting felt even more at ease.

As for whether this baby is his son Li Xiang, I really don’t dare to say. If there was a B-ultrasound in this era, of course it could be seen at any time, but there is no problem.

As for those old Chinese medicine practitioners, Li Xiang believes that some of them can be detected by taking pulses. This is also the magic of Chinese medicine.

But they are also relying on many years of experience. If they are wrong, maybe it is also a daughter.

After receiving this promise, Changsun Pingting stopped talking about these things, and did not say anything about the canonization of General Tiance's Mansion, because from the day Changsun Pingting followed Li Xiang, this woman knew that she could not leave. On the bright side, it might even become a shame to the eldest grandson's family, so these things have nothing to do with eldest grandson Pingting.

But the eldest grandson Pingting is a smart person, and now controls Li Xiang's business system. If he really has a son in the future, then this business system will most likely belong to his son. Even if he cannot become the person on the throne, just by virtue of The business system in hand is already in an invincible position.

Li Xiang lived a more comfortable life in the following days, without all kinds of cheating. Li Xiang also spent a rare leisurely day with his eldest grandson Pingting. When he got up the next morning, Li Xiang I don't even want to leave.

But there are some things Li Xiang still has to do. Today he agreed to entertain Niu Jinda and Su Dingfang. Although these are the two people he is most familiar with, these two people will become the generals in the Tiance Admiral's Mansion from now on. It should be said Things have to be said well.

The division of labor between the two has also been decided. From now on, Niu Jinda must stay in the capital, and Su Dingfang may not be able to follow Li Xiang in battles. The two of them have already made a lot of contributions, and you two will restrain each other from now on. , help each other, and honestly watch over this prosperous Chang'an for Li Xiang!
