Chapter 1878 Basic Welfare of Prince Ji’s Mansion
Pei Mingli held the gold card in his hand and bowed to Li Shen. He knew the value of this gold card.
This not only represents money, but also represents identity and status.
He thought he could invite his relatives and friends to dine here, and he could gain enough face with this gold card.
"Okay, sit down. It's just a gold card." Li Shen waved his hand nonchalantly.
Wang Xuance on the side also said with a smile:
"Mr. Pei..."
"Wang Changshi, after today I will no longer be a Yuanwailang. If Wang Changshi doesn't mind, just ask me to show my courtesy."
Pei Mingli said modestly that he was also a rather tactful person, and if he could establish a good relationship with Wang Xuance, he would be able to have smooth sailing in Prince Ji's Mansion in the future.
He knew that although Prince Ji had built a government office, he had not yet opened a palace. There were only a handful of officials in Prince Ji's palace.
Prince Ji promised to give him a fifth-rank official position, which meant that he would be a high-ranking official in Prince Ji's mansion in the future.
Apart from the Chief Secretary Wang Xuance, he should be the second in command.
Of course, Xue Rengui, the Sima in Prince Ji’s Mansion, is an exception, because Xue Rengui is a military general and is not in the same system as him.
Wang Xuance smiled and nodded after hearing this:
"Okay, then I won't be polite to Brother Pei. I'll ask you to make a formality. From now on, you and I will be colleagues.
We will jointly assist His Royal Highness Prince Ji, so there is no need to address each other by official title in private, what do you think?"
"I would rather obey your command." Pei Mingli bowed.
“Brother Pei, I just wanted to say that although this gold card is extremely valuable, it is just one of the benefits of the Ji Wang Mansion.
For example, this gold card is a food benefit. If Brother Pei doesn’t want to dine at home, he can eat at the restaurant every day.
As for clothing, Prince Ji's Mansion will customize several sets of clothes for Brother Pei every year, all of which are made of the finest silk brocade. From now on, Brother Pei will not have to make his own clothes.
There is also a place to live. If Brother Pei doesn’t have a house in the city, Prince Ji’s Mansion can also prepare a house for Brother Pei.
Or you can live in Prince Ji's Mansion like Mr. Wang, so that you can respond to the call of His Highness Prince Ji at any time.
To be honest, Wang also has a mansion outside the city, but Wang finds it troublesome to travel every day, so he has always lived in Prince Ji's Mansion.
Finally, it was time to travel. Prince Ji’s mansion had specially prepared a four-wheeled carriage for us, as well as a group of fine horses from the north.
We don't have to take care of it on a normal basis, as there are special people in charge at Prince Ji's mansion.
After joining the Ji Wang Mansion, Brother Pei will know that the Ji Wang Mansion has many benefits. "
Wang Xuance talked endlessly to Pei Mingli about the benefits of joining the Prince Ji's Mansion.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all included, and these are just the basics. There are also some rewards from King Ji that Wang Xuance has not mentioned yet.
Because he didn't know what reward King Ji would give.
But even so, Pei Mingli was greatly shocked. The court salary included food and clothing, but it was nothing compared to that of Prince Ji's Mansion.
Taking into account accommodation and transportation, Prince Ji’s mansion is indeed generous.
"Hey? Xuan Ce, don't say that. It's nothing. Since you are working for me, I will naturally solve your worries first.
If Mingli wants to live in the palace, he can just choose a courtyard in the front yard when he returns.
The rest will be arranged after you join the company, so you don’t need to worry about your salary.
I have everything I should have, and more than the court.
Good farmland and servants will be provided to you, but there will be no rice allowance. The Ji Wang Mansion does not provide rice allowance. All of it will be converted into cash and added to the salary."
Li Shen briefly told Pei Mingli about the issue of treatment, so that Pei Mingli would understand that he was not just talking empty words.
Ultimately it comes down to fame and fortune, everything else is just an excuse.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness. I will never disappoint Your Highness and will do my best for the Ji Palace."
Pei Mingli quickly expressed his gratitude, even though he was not short of money.
By this time the tea had been brewed and Chunxiang poured a cup for everyone.
"Come, try it. I'm sure you've never had it before."
Li Shen picked up the tea and gestured to take a sip.
Pei Mingli picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea filled the air.
"It's really a good tea, with a refreshing fragrance and a sweet aftertaste."
"I'm glad you like it. I'll give you two jars later. You can't buy this tea outside. It's only available in Prince Ji's Mansion and the palace.
It's tribute tea." Li Shen said casually while drinking tea.
"Thank you, Your Highness. This tea is very valuable. I wonder why Your Highness doesn't sell it.
If you sell it, you can earn a lot of money."
Pei Mingli asked curiously.
In his opinion, good things should be sold for money, especially such rare things. If they are sold, he will definitely make a lot of money.
Li Shen smiled slightly:
"Mingli, I have heard about you and know that you have great experience in business.
But we still follow the rules.
You must have heard the saying that rare goods are valuable. If there are too many of something, it will no longer be valuable.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Although this tribute tea is not sold, the one who can drink it is His Majesty. Who dares to use something of the same grade as His Majesty?
Unless it is rewarded by Your Majesty, it would be considered exceeding the rules.
Those who can receive rewards from His Majesty are all royal relatives, or at least nobles.
In this way, people who want to please others will buy the first grade of tea, so this will not hinder me from making money at all.
In fact, even if I sell this tribute tea, I will still have to make a better and higher grade tea to present to Your Majesty.
This is the only way to demonstrate Your Majesty's dignity and uniqueness.
Your tone is so troublesome, it would be better not to sell this tribute tea. You must remember that we rely on Your Majesty for our livelihood.
Of course, we must give Your Majesty enough face. I call this emotional value.
Do you understand? "
Since Pei Mingli has joined his camp, in order to facilitate future work, Li Shen has to give Pei Mingli a simple training explanation now.
Wang Hongfu followed him for more than ten years before he was able to understand some of his ideas. Pei Mingli would have to train him for several years at least.
The thinking of these people has long been deeply influenced by their education and it is not easy to change them.
"Emotional value?" Pei Mingli heard a new term. He knew every word, but he didn't quite understand when they were put together.
Do emotions have value? How do we value them?
However, he did understand what Prince Ji meant. To put it bluntly, it was flattery to show that His Majesty was superior to others.
He understood this, otherwise His Majesty would also be at the top level.
Prince Ji's actions are exactly what Your Majesty wants.
No wonder His Majesty dotes on Prince Ji so much. Prince Ji is indeed extraordinary. Just based on his ability to get things done, everyone likes him.
"Okay, don't worry about it, you will understand it slowly in the future.
I just want to tell you that many things cannot be measured by money, but everything in this world has its value.
You should understand it carefully after you go back."
(I forgot what I was going to say, bye)
