We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

XP has always been fascinated by creatures like emperors, or perhaps this is a common problem for humans who have gained great power.

Although the concubines in the harem all pay attention to their backgrounds, the emperor's real objects of pleasure are not just concubines.

Compared with the routine affairs with concubines, many emperors preferred to have special treatment, and the types of treatment they liked were also varied.

Some like older women, some like younger women, some like female prostitutes, some are bisexual and some rape women, and there are some things that cannot be said, and if you write them down, your book will definitely be banned.

In comparison, Boss Cao, who likes married women, is already a normal person among normal people. The name of Cao the thief is really unfair to him.

God knows whether Emperor Qing will suddenly become interested in this new profession of female worker and insist on taking one into the palace?

Li Che would never ruin his own reputation just for the sake of Emperor Qing's momentary pleasure, and make the women of Fengguo, who had been persuaded with great difficulty, never dare to come out to work again.

To be on the safe side, it is better to keep my cheap father and the civil and military officials of Daqing away from them.

Perhaps because he was used to Li Che's audacity, Emperor Qing was not angry, and even admired Li Che's rule-abiding behavior.

"How do these machines work?" Emperor Qing changed the subject and asked curiously.

Li Che stepped forward and explained respectfully, "Your Majesty, this machine is called a loom. It was designed and improved by Fengguo's craftsmen. It uses multiple spindles working simultaneously, which can greatly improve the efficiency of weaving."

"However, this machine is still very simple and requires pedaling for power. Fengguo Craftsmen have already begun developing water-powered looms. They only need to be placed near a river to produce cloth continuously using water power."

After hearing this, Emperor Qing's eyes lit up: "How much gold and silver does this cost?"

"Well, the cost is not expensive, it's mainly the labor cost of the craftsmen..."

Emperor Qing interrupted, "I'm asking you, how much would it cost to present the blueprints of this item to the court?"

Li Che was slightly startled, then smiled.

Yes, my cheap father has already developed a patent consciousness, which is a good sign.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Father, this item is not for sale."

Emperor Qing's face suddenly turned cold: "What did you say?"

He had tolerated Li Che's behavior before, but this was a bit too much.

With Emperor Qing's vision, he could naturally see that this thing was a good thing that could make a fortune.

Such sacred objects should have been presented to the imperial court. Now you are unable to even purchase them at your own expense. Do you want to keep them for yourself?

This is a magical item that can bring in a fortune every day. What do you, Li Che, need so much money for?

"What I mean is that this item can be presented to the Emperor, Father, without taking a cent. I can even send craftsmen to help the court make it." Li Che smiled like a profiteer. "But Fengguo must also share in the profits earned by the court from the textile machines in the future!"

That’s right, Li Che never intended to make a sub-deal from the beginning, what he wanted was a share of the profits!

Technology is priceless, and no one can give an answer to the appropriate price of a textile machine.

If the price is too low, the gains will outweigh the losses, so it is better not to pay. But if the price is too high, my cheap father and the Daqing court will not agree, and they cannot afford it.

Instead of that, it would be better to establish a long-term business and make Fengguo and Daqing business partners.

This has two benefits:

First, Fenghui will rely on advanced technology to obtain a steady stream of income from Daqing and open up the huge market in Daqing.

Secondly, the connection between Fengguo and Daqing became deeper. In this way, even if he failed to seize the throne, the next emperor of Daqing would not dare to do the same as Jianwen and try to reduce the power of the vassal states.

Once Daqing falls out with Fengguo, it will lose its technical support and its income will plummet to a level that the emperor and the court will find unbearable!

Emperor Qing was a shrewd man and quickly realized Li Che's intention.

He looked at Li Che deeply, and his expression softened a lot: "How much are you going to take?"

Just as Li Che was about to speak, Emperor Qing interrupted him: "I remind you, don't be greedy!"

Li Che smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Ten percent is enough for me!"

"Only 10%?" Emperor Qing's eyes suddenly widened.

"That's right, I'll only take 10%! And Fengguo will also produce talented people to help the court build factories and train workers. The court only needs to be responsible for selecting sites and providing raw materials."

Emperor Qing stared at Li Che for a long moment, finally figuring something out. He then slowly spoke, "We also need to use craftsmen from Fengguo, right?"

Li Che smiled awkwardly: "Father is wise."

He never objected to bringing technological products into Daqing. After all, Daqing was the orthodox one, so naturally the stronger it was, the better.

But Fengguo cannot support Daqing unconditionally. Everyone can earn money, and they can even take a small share, but the technology must be firmly in their own hands.

What is technological monopoly? !

However, if the future throne belongs to me, then it doesn't matter.

Li Che believed that Emperor Qing would not fail to understand this.

This is also why, from the beginning to the end, he never took the initiative to participate in the fight for the throne, and was completely uninterested in the power struggle in the court.

Li Che doesn't like to put his fate in the hands of others, especially Emperor Qing, his cheap father.

Although after traveling through time, Emperor Qing still took care of him and did not seem like the kind of heartless and ungrateful king.

But he will never forget how the original owner died and how he came to be.

Wasn't the original owner bad to Emperor Qing? Wasn't he also forced to die in the palace?!

There is no father-son love in heaven!

After thinking deeply for a moment, Emperor Qing said nothing more, but just said that we would discuss it later.

Li Che was not in a hurry and continued to stroll with Emperor Qing.

After leaving the textile factory, Emperor Qing visited a series of factories including the glass factory, paper factory, and food factory.

In fact, Fengguo’s technological core was not in light industry; heavy industries such as the Gunpowder Bureau and Iron Smelting Workshop were the main development directions.

However, these factories are all outside the city, and the core industrial chains have been hidden by Li Che. Now there are only some crude production lines there.

After walking around for most of the day, Emperor Qing was a little tired and did not suggest going outside the city to take a look.

The scale and efficiency of these light industrial factories were enough to open the eyes of him and Daqing Wenwu.

He had never imagined that Fengguo, a fiefdom outside the Great Wall, could develop its economy and industry to such an extent.

In the end, Emperor Qing finally raised the question in his heart:

"Sixth Brother, I see that these factories and technologies in Fengguo are things that have never appeared in Daqing. Where did you learn them from?"
