Chapter 156: Plan Ahead
Zong Xiu snorted, "What does the prince's exile have to do with me? Aren't you the annunciation? What hi? ”
Li Daozong glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty has decreed that the news of your being named 'Tianwen Zong' will be spread to the world, and at the same time, the government and schools across the country will start construction and erect a statue for you, isn't this joy?" ”
"Insincere."
Zong Xiu pursed her mouth, very disdainful. Li Shimin did all this as originally promised, but it was never carried out.
Li Daozong: "......"
Yes, he came on the order of Li Shimin to come to see Zong Xiu's attitude, and at the same time, if Zong Xiu has free time, he will invite Zong Xiu to sit in the palace by the way.
But what kind of attitude is Zongxiu?
It was a holy oracle that was widely spread all over the world and a statue of the national government and academy, and how much glory was not obtained for Li Tang's birth and death, and even for the heroes who buried their bones on the battlefield.
"Brother Zong, are you free?" Li Daozong changed his words and said with a smile: "You are the protagonist of today's Jinluan Palace, Your Majesty asked me to ask if you are free, if you are free, you might as well go to the court to have a look." ”
Saying that, Li Daozong didn't forget to quip: "This king has never seen a courtier like you, and since he became the secretary of Honglu Temple, he has not even been to the court once." There are a lot of people in the Manchu Dynasty who have heard your name, but few have actually seen you. What's the matter, do you want to think about it, and go into the palace with this king for a while? ”
"Don't go!"
Zong Xiu lightly threw out two words, turned around and walked out, and said as he walked: "Trouble the prince and Your Majesty, I have been busy recently, the assassination of the prince and the king of Wei has led to the loss of business, and I have to find a way to make money and earn fame, and I don't have time to go to the court." What is on his mind, when I am done, I will naturally go to see him. ”
“……”
Li Daozong saw Zong Xiu leave, he really didn't expect Zong Xiu to really say that he would leave, without giving any face and leaving no room at all.
Jiangjia Village.
After Zong Xiu asked a young man who was protecting the village to find Jiang Lian, Jiang Chen, and An Boyi, he went to the cafeteria to have some breakfast. didn't wait to finish eating, I saw Jiang Jian and others hurrying over.
"President."
"President."
"President."
The three of them stood across the table and greeted Zong Xiu.
"Have you eaten? Why don't you sit down and have a bite to eat? Zong Xiu pointed to the chair opposite, and seeing that the three of them didn't mean to sit down, he simply picked up the chopsticks and ate them by himself, and said while eating: "Uncle Jiang, how much money do we still have in the money cellar?" ”
Seeing that Zong Xiu came up and asked for money, Jiang Jian frowned slightly, with his understanding of Zong Xiu, the chairman would definitely have to do some big business.
"President, the recent opening of paper mills, breeding factories, and supermarket chains are all large expenditures, coinciding with the assassination of the prince and the martial law in Chang'an, all our businesses have been affected, there is no income, and there is really no money to do new business."
Jiang Jian was originally the head of the Jiang family's village, and he was also the oldest person in the world, Zong Xiu was more at ease with him and kept him in charge of money. And Jiang Jian did this, since the opening of the printing house and "Chang'an Weekly", he has been conscientious and conscientious, and has recorded every account clearly and clearly.
Therefore, he knows best the current financial situation of the 'Tianxia Society'.
Today's [Tianxiahui] looks at the big business of the family, but in fact, it is already stretched and can no longer withstand a big toss.
An Boyi said in shame: "Master, they are all stupid students. Recently, a large amount of money has been misappropriated to experiment with 'paper made from bamboo', but no progress has been made. ”
"It doesn't matter, any new product can only succeed after continuous experimentation." Zong Xiu waved his hand, and said to Jiang Jian again: "Uncle Jiang, in the past two days, you can take some time to let people expand the money cellar." ”
"Ah...... Expansion? ”
Jiang Lian, Jiang Chen, and An Boyi were all dumbfounded.
Expansion of the money cellar? You heard that right! Is this a dizziness, President? I didn't have much money in the first place, so I had to expand the money cellar, what did I do to expand it?
Zong Xiu smiled mysteriously: "If you want to expand, you will expand." Don't worry, within ten days, there will be a large amount of money coming, and I am afraid that there will be no place to put it. ”
“……”
Jiang Lian was skeptical.
Jiang Chen suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Is Your Majesty going to reward the president again?" ”
"Haha, almost, almost." Zong Xiu laughed and got up, and said, "Expand the money cellar for me!" Expand as much as you can, expand me as much as you want. The surrounding walls should be tamped and then piled with stones, after all, it is a place to put money, and there can be no mistakes. ”
"Yes."
As soon as he heard that it was His Majesty's commendation, Jiang Lianxi smiled, and he couldn't wait to find someone to build the money cellar now.
Zong Xiu thought about it, and said to An Boyi: "Don't worry about money, the most critical problem now is to get the bamboo paper out first." The five million dictionaries promised to the Chai family cannot be delayed. ”
"Yes."
Amber Yi hurriedly responded.
Zong Xiu explained a few more words, and the meal was finished. I turned my head to look at the sky outside, and saw that it was still early, so I walked slowly towards home.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, the golden tiger who was a few laps bigger ran over, and when he went up, he hugged Zong Xiu's legs with his two paws and was coquettish.
Zong Xiu bent down and hugged Jin Hu and touched it a few times, threw it on the ground casually, and smiled at Yan Tingcheng, who was basking in the sun, "Yan, everyone, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"Zong Gongzi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the slave family is now relying on you for protection, and you shouldn't ask for a word."
Yan Tingcheng is an understanding person, the reason why she has survived until now is because of Zong Xiu, and her attitude is very polite.
"Then I'll get straight to the point. Yan, I believe that although you are no longer the leader of the internal guards, you should still have a group of people of your own! ”
Zong Xiu bit the words 'own people' very hard: "I want you to send a message and call them all." ”
"This ...... Not good. Yan Chengcheng said worriedly: "Zong Gongzi, although Your Majesty didn't kill me for your sake. But those people ......."
In Yan Chengcheng's view: Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he boldly mobilizes a large number of people with strong martial arts to gather together, no matter who is the emperor, he will be nervous. Even if Zong Xiu and Li Shimin brag that he is an immortal in the sky, in the face of power, even if a real immortal comes, the emperors of the world will fight for it.
Yi Qian echoed: "Isn't Childe too anxious?" Everything you do must have a clear vision. Now is a critical period, we can recruit some ordinary workers, and it is not good to call in skilled spies. ”
"yes. After all, even though I trained those people secretly, Your Majesty knew about them. In addition, the internal security spies are everywhere, if it reaches His Majesty's ears, it will not be good for you. ”
The two of them took turns to persuade one by one, and Zong Xiu had a headache when he heard it. Of course, he knew that Yan Tingcheng and Yi Tingqing were telling the truth, Li Tai had just died, Li Chengqian was exiled again, and Li Shimin's heart was on fire. He summoned a large number of masters to come over at once, not to mention whether he could control them all in his hands, even if he listened to him, Li Shimin would be on guard.
But he didn't have time to wait!
First, the cattle were blown out, and Li Shimin repeatedly invited him into the palace, so he must have been suspicious.
Second, the identity of the crescent moon gradually surfaced, suspected of being a 'system'.
It's just that he has never met this 'system', and the devil knows whether it's good or bad. In case the crescent moon has other thoughts in the past ten years, most of them will find an opportunity to get rid of him, and then occupy the dove's nest, and the grandiose 'anti-guest-oriented'.
