Jiang Shihu was standing at the counter tidying up the countertop, and when he heard a compliment: "Doesn't this mean that our president is a Wenqu star, and he is confident no matter what the test questions are." ”

Zong Xiu put down the tea cup in his hand: "Don't pat yourself on the back." To me, time is money, and how can I waste my precious time on meaningless autumn and accompany them in the ink. ”

After speaking, Zong Xiu asked again: "Shi Hu, have you sent the things I asked Jiang Bo to make?" ”

"I sent it, Uncle Jiang personally sent it in the morning, and he specially told me to hide it, saying that this thing is expensive and worth more than my life."

Jiang Shihu said as he took a package from under the counter and walked over.

Zong Xiu didn't open it to look at it, took it in his hand and weighed it twice, then turned around and walked out.

"Brother Jiang, come with me to the Mansion of the Kingdom of China."

"The Mansion of the Kingdom of China? President, do you have any business to do with the Chai family? ”

Jiang Chen hurriedly picked up the horsewhip and prepared to catch the car.

Zong Xiu smiled: "That must be dropped." The Chai family has a big business, and they don't pit him. ”

"Pit?"

Jiang Chen was speechless.

Zong Xiu said proudly: "Our shop is still too few, whether we can be big depends on today." If this deal is completed, there will be at least 100 people in our world who can be promoted to branch masters, and maybe there will be two branch helmsmen. ”

In Zongxiu's concept of the Tianxia Society, the future 'Tianxia Society' will include all the ten walks of life in Datang.

In addition to him, the president, who is the largest in the management body of the Tianxia Association, the person who is responsible for managing all the shops in a certain industry in the ten roads of the world is the helmsman; In that industry, the one who manages all the shops is the helm owner.

Now there are only two businesses in the world: "printing newspapers and periodicals" and "garment making", but he said that he might be promoted to two helmsmen, Jiang Shihu couldn't help but look happy: The president is planning to open up a trade route for all state capitals.

Jiang Chen was worried: "The president wants to open branches in other state capitals, and our funds are not enough." ”

"Hehe, we don't have it, but Chai Shao does!"

Zong Xiu smiled and got into the carriage with a small cloth bag, and asked Jiang Chen to rush to the Mansion of the Duke of Qiaoguo.

Today is the first day of the autumn exam, and the focus of the imperial court is on the selection of talents, and Chai Shao is rarely idle, staying at home and playing with a few concubines.

Why is it said to be a concubine, because Chai Shao is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, and his wife is the founder of the famous 'Tang Women's Army' - Pingyang Princess Li Xiuning.

However, Li Xiuning was short-lived, and when he was young, he fought on horses, although he made great achievements for Li Tang Jiangshan, but he also left a wounded soldier and died eleven years ago.

But even if Li Xiuning is dead, she is also a princess, and her wife's brother is the emperor, does Chai Shao dare to remarry another wife?

However, in these years, it is the same whether a man has a wife or not, Chai Shao can't marry a wife, but he can take a concubine.

has a successful career, a respected status, and a middle-aged widow, Chai Shao's image can be called the fifth king of Datang diamonds? It is extremely popular with women.

Is it right? Chai Shao has accepted a few beautiful concubine rooms over the years, and he has mixed oil in honey every day.

Will Chai Shao be lying in the courtyard? Headresting on the lap of a coquettish-looking concubine? There were also a few concubines next to him who were pinching his shoulders and beating his legs.

"Well, a little more light there? Go a little further up. ”

Chai Shao closed his eyes and enjoyed the services of the beautiful concubine? The two concubines who beat their legs are full of smiles? The delicate little hands moved as instructed.

"Uh-huh, comfortable~"

"Hehe, if Ah Lang is in a hurry, let's go back to the room."

The beautiful concubine who was pinching Chai Shao's shoulders leaned over and whispered? Vermilion's little mouth snorted hotly.

"Back to the room? Ha ha? I think you're a little fox in a hurry. ”

Chai Shao opened his eyes suddenly, hugged the concubine who was talking, and laughed.

The concubine didn't struggle, but giggled: "Ah Lang said that the concubine was in a hurry, that is, the concubine was in a hurry." Hee-hee, Ah Lang wants to go back to the room? ”

In the afternoon, the body is at its most yang? There are groups of beautiful concubines around him, Chai Shao is quite moved? Just as he was about to nod, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Don't wait for Chai Shao to get up? Chai Lingwu had already barged in, and saw that he was hugging and hugging a few beautiful concubines? A flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Chai Shao has long been accustomed to this kind of thing? He sat up and said, "What's the matter?" But not enough money to spend? You won't have to report these little things to me next time? Go directly to the account office to pay. ”

Chai Lingwu snorted coldly: "Master Zong is here, saying that he wants to see you, and he is waiting in the front hall." ”

"Zong Xiu? Shouldn't he be taking the exam in the Ministry of Officials now, what are you doing in our house? ”

Chai Shao wondered.

Chai Lingwu turned around and left, saying as he walked: "You ask me who I will ask, you hurry up and pack up, what do you look like when you are old." If I hadn't arranged Master Zongzi in the front hall, you would not have laughed off your big teeth when you were seen to be so ugly. ”

“……”

Chai Shao also understands that his son has been with his mother since he was a child, but Li Xiuning went early, and he can't be a widower for the rest of his life.

However, somehow, Li Shimin didn't even ask him about taking a concubine, but his own son was yin and yang all day long, and as he grew older, he became more and more unruly.

"Aaron ......"

Several concubines shouted reluctantly.

Chai Shao sighed: "That's it, that's it, I'll go see what's going on." ”

In the front hall, Zong Xiu was cross-legged and drinking tea, and Jiang Chen was guarding beside him with a small baggage, with a solemn expression.

After waiting for a while, I saw Chai Lingwu go and return.

"Master, wait a minute, Jiayan will come soon."

"Don't worry, Ling Wu, I've been busy lately, and I haven't been to Guozijian much, how are you studying?"

Zong Xiu pretended to care about Chai Lingwu's studies.

Although Chai Lingwu is arrogant, he is also open. Since I lost the bet when I met Zong Xiu for the first time, when I saw Zong Xiu again, I called him 'Master' when I came back.

"Back to the Master's words, abacus formulas and numbers are useful. It's just that we have mastered it now, and we are all looking forward to the Master's teaching of new things. ”

"Haha, it's almost there."

Zong Xiu snorted haha.

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a deep male voice shouting, "What's fast? Isn't it the sect president, and what wonderful method did he think of? ”

Seeing that the person he was waiting for was coming, Zong Xiu got up and said, "Xiaguan Zong Xiu, I've seen Gong Chen." ”

"Sect President, you're not going to see the outside, after all, we are business partners, why don't you come here in your own home."

After Chai Shao finished speaking, he asked again: "On the first day of the autumn exam, why don't you stay in the official department for the exam, why did you come to me?" ”

"Naturally, there is a great future to send to the father."

"A great future?" Chai Shao hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't joke with the sect president, I don't dare to ask for a good future now." ”

"Haha, that depends on what the future is. Brother Jiang, take out the things. ”

Zong Xiu knew very well what Chai Shao meant, but what he said was not that.

"Yes."

Jiang Chen carried a small cloth bag and placed it on the table, untied the knot on it, and when he opened it, it revealed that it was indeed a thick booklet.

"What is this?"

Chai Shao looked at the booklet bound curiously, and there was no name written on the book cover.

"That's what I'm talking about."

Zong Xiu picked up the thick booklet and handed it to Chai Shao.

"Gong Chen has to take a closer look, if you like it, let's talk about the business later; If you don't like it, the official will turn around and leave, and find another buyer. ”

Chai Shao took the booklet in confusion, he didn't understand how a booklet could be related to a good future, could it be a book from heaven?

The thick booklet is the 'dictionary' that Zong Xiu asked Jiang Jian to hurry up a few days ago, which not only introduces the 'pinyin method' in detail, but also the 'radical search function', as well as the pronunciation and meaning of the characters.

Don't look at the booklet, it is only a few hundred pages, in order to rush to produce this dictionary, the entire Jiangjia Village printing factory was closed, and hundreds of people worked for several days in a row to get such a book.

Chai Shao is a shrewd businessman, and at the same time a highly talented prince. He opened the first page of the dictionary and saw that it was densely painted with various never-before-seen symbols in small characters, and there were transliteration notes next to it, and he instantly understood.

When he saw the second page again, his face changed even more.

In the hall of the Mansion of the Kingdom of China, Chai Shao became more and more fascinated the more he looked, and applauded again and again when he saw the end.

Chai Lingwu's curiosity was aroused, and he leaned over curiously. He didn't see what was in front of him, and he saw a bunch of ghost-drawn letters, and he just felt a headache.

"Good! Good! Good! What a great future! Sect President, how are you going to sell this thing? ”

After reading [Character Pinyin] and [Radical Theory], Chai Shao closed the booklet and asked excitedly.

Zong Xiu grinned: "So you can talk about it?" ”

"There has to be something to talk about! If this booklet can be distributed in batches and spread to the world, Your Majesty will definitely be happy. Money and officials don't care, but the reputation in the eyes of the people, and the grace of the saints are hard to find! Say what you want. ”

Chai Shao said magnificently.

Zong Xiu shook his head: "Let's not talk about money first, I'll just ask, how many copies do you plan to release?" ”

"This ......"

Chai Shao patronized and went excitedly, how could he think about how many copies would be issued.

Zong Xiu said loudly: "Today, there are almost more than 5 million households, let's count one by one, I decided to print 5 million copies. ”

"Shhh...... How much does that one cost? ”

Chai Shao exclaimed, in his eyes this booklet was a priceless treasure.

Zong Xiu raised a finger: "Just one or two!" ”

"One or two? Wouldn't that be a loss of money? ”

Chai Shao was a shrewd businessman after all, and quickly calculated: "Labor, ink, paper, and the cost of trafficking, one or two will be lost." ”

Zong Xiu smiled mysteriously: "It's your loss, and it's not my loss." Let me ask you, can you eat five million copies? ”

"What do you mean?"

Chai Shao didn't answer the rhetorical question, his face was full of suspicion.

Zong Xiu explained with a smile: "I will sell you a tael of a book, a total of five million taels." And you have to distribute it to the people of the world for free, and strive to make it one for each household. ”

As soon as these words came out, before Chai Shao could respond, Chai Lingwu had already exclaimed: "Wouldn't that mean that our family directly lost five million taels?" No, no, this can't be done. ”

Zong Xiu glanced at Chai Lingwu and didn't explain, just stared at Chai Shao and said, "What, is Gong Chen willing to take out five million taels to make this loss-making deal?" ”
