Before it got dark at night, Li Chengyang left the household department early, and now Wang Yun has become his subordinate, if he still squats in the household department and does not leave, it will not be a waste.

Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou, who came back later than him in the past, also came back early this time, and was standing at the gate of the side courtyard waiting, when he saw Li Chengyang's figure, he hurriedly greeted him, and when he arrived in front of him, he didn't speak, and looked at Li Chengyang with some embarrassment.

My heart was excited, couldn't it be that something happened to the Ice Division? Hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, what happened to make you come back so early and wait for me, is there someone blocking the Ice Division?" ”。

Ma Zhou opened his mouth at this time, it turned out that it had been nearly half a month, and everyone from Luoyang had already been familiar with the process and overall operation of ice control, and Ma Zhou saw that the time was ripe, so he was ready to start the plan to spread to Guannei Dao.

The people of Luoyang were full of promises, and after deliberation, they decided to hurry up and not rush late, leave early tomorrow morning, and pack up the salute today, having such an active subordinate made Ma Zhou very happy, and the energetic subordinates were a good thing for any subordinate officer.

But then everyone put forward a request, but Ma Zhou was embarrassed, and he made up his mind after thinking about it.

"Want to eat with me? Okay, speaking of which, we haven't eaten together for several years, let's go and have a look, you see why you are still embarrassed for so long by doing such a bad thing" Everyone wants to have a meal with Li Chengyang, and then talk to Li Chengyang, naturally they have to be satisfied, it's not a big deal.

But for Ma Zhou, it can be regarded as an excessive request, after all, the relationship is there, as for why is it entangled? Think about it, a young employee who has just joined the company and asks to have a meal with the company's largest shareholder.

Ma Zhou still doesn't understand how much friendship Li Chengyang and Luoyang Zhong have, in the past days, he has also seen a lot of masters and servants who intersect with life and death, but they are all paying attention to their respective duties, Lao Cheng's guards are all old brothers who have experienced life and death with Lao Cheng, and they have not seen how close they are on weekdays.

But when it comes to Li Chengyang, there is no such thing as duty, as long as it is accepted by the world, he doesn't mind trying, and if it is not accepted, he has to try it.

Pulled Ma Zhou to the Ministry of Industry, let people pass it on, and went directly into the door without waiting for a response, and let people pass it on is polite, telling Wu Li that he is coming, after all, he is not the chief official of the Ministry of Industry now, and it is necessary to notify people at the door.

Walking all the way into the Ice Division, this place is no different from before, there are still five or six craftsmen making fans there, Ma Zhou explained that this group of people is specially selected for the best craftsmanship, specially made for the nobles in the palace, and the rest of the people because there are too many, the small courtyard of the Ice Division can't be placed, and now they have moved out of the Ice Division and found a house outside as a workshop.

The ice is also placed outside, and now the ice control department is a simple place to stay, a place for everyone in Luoyang to come back and sleep at night.

The two walked into the main hall, only to see that the hall was already full of wine and food, and popped out of the back door, and then heard a shout: "Your Highness is down, come out quickly."

Hula, the hall seems to be crowded with people, people keep coming up to say goodbye, and some people secretly kowtow to him twice when Li Chengyang is not paying attention, and he stands up like no one else, eating and drinking without delay.

There is nothing to pay attention to, this group of people was even less particular in the past, but now they can eat with chopsticks instead of using their hands to explain that Li Chengyang has enough face, as for the low tables and chairs, they still sit on their knees to eat? Impossible.

It's just that Li Chengyang still likes this kind of atmosphere, and eats Haisai with everyone, this is the most enjoyable meal he has eaten when he comes to Datang, he doesn't touch the wine, except for two glasses of wine from time to time at Li Yuan's place, he doesn't move at all, and of course no one dares to take the risk of offending Li Shimin to persuade Li Chengyang's wine.

After eating and drinking, he had time to ask Ma Zhou carefully about his arrangements.

Ma Zhou's plan is to leave five people in Chang'an, a total of nine prefectures in Guannei Province, each state is divided into two people, one is inside the main and one is outside, and the two of them cooperate with the local county government to promote the Ice Control Division, and by the way, recruit displaced people and other help work.

After Ma Zhou's preliminary statistics, Guannai Road is only a penny a piece of ice enough for a family to use for a day, and in the initial stage, it can earn 5,000 yuan per month, which is only the first month, and when it is completely rolled out in Guannai Road, it is expected to reach about 15,000 yuan in January.

I was taken aback by this amount, according to past experience, simply converted by the price of rice, the consistent money is equivalent to about 3,000 yuan in the previous life, and 5,000 guan is equivalent to 15 million yuan in the previous life.

You must know that when you control ice, it is not for profit, and the pricing of a penny is also because you don't want anyone to see that ice is wasted wantonly, and the monthly money issued to the hired person is removed, and at least 3,000 guan can be left, which is pure profit, which is just the money earned by a Dao, and it will be popularized to the north of Datang and even the whole territory of Datang in the future, and at least he can earn 100,000 yuan a month.

This penny can be taken out by any family in Datang, a man, more than five or six, less than two or three, a man represents a hundred acres of land, the rent of thirty taxes and one is paid, and the rest can earn about ten yuan a year, of course, this is a family in the household registration, as for those black households, no one will be stingy with a penny in this hot summer.

Not to mention ice cream, a luxury item that is specially used to make money, except for the top large families, who spend a lot of manpower and material resources to collect ice from the river and store it in the cellar in winter, other families, even ordinary large families, will not have the opportunity to eat ice in summer.

Ice cream, the simplest fruit-flavored ice shavings, will not be less than ten yuan, this is the price set by Li Chengyang a long time ago, and the money produced here may be more than three or five generations more than that of ice treatment.

Although there is only one summer that can be sold, it is also a great event, according to the records of the household department, Datang's taxes for the whole year last year, plus a series of taxes such as cloth, silk, grain, gold, silver, copper and iron, add up to only 20 million yuan, and he simply thought of a way to come out, since the profit can reach about one-tenth of the annual tax.

Sure enough, monopoly is king, Li Chengyang finally understood the feeling of Bill Gates in his previous life, and made money while sitting.

It's not that he didn't predict the profits of the Ice Division before, but one is that he doesn't know much about the people of the Tang Dynasty, he has always thought that the people's lives are poor, and he really hasn't carefully seen how the farmers make money, the society of the Tang Dynasty is mostly barter, and if there is no cloth at home, he will go to get some grain in exchange, and if he wants to eat meat, he will also carry some grain to the meat stall to cut a little, and there is no major event or when he goes far away, the people generally will not save any money.

Besides, he didn't plan to make money with ice, but who would have thought that something inconspicuous could get such a big profit.

As for the problem of greed, he didn't worry about the people in Luoyang in this regard, and it was not that he had never seen someone lose their money, every time this group of people picked up a purse, they were waiting for someone to find it in the same place, and then returned the purse to others.

However, he did not let this group of people play at will, in general, because of the problem of origin, everyone in Luoyang has more or less shortcomings, but their biggest shortcoming, but also the common shortcoming, is that the pattern is not big enough, sometimes doing things reveals the spirit of a small family, the rivers and lakes have been crawling and rolling for more than ten or twenty years, some side doors, fighting fiercely, entrusting them to do something is not a big problem, and it may even be better than the people in the government, but the vision is indeed a little unable to keep up.

According to Ma Zhou, there are even people who panic when they are selling ice now, which is the result of many years of begging.

Gathered the crowd together, began to inquire one by one, and finally found a chair to stand on:

"Ahem, okay, be quiet, tomorrow you will go out of Chang'an to the various states and counties in the Guannai, each state is divided into two people, after you arrive, first give me the threshold of the local county government to step on me more than a dozen times, and dredge the local officials for me, if you don't give you face, come and tell me, I, the king of Qin, may not be able to speak in this Chang'an for the time being, but outside, my signboard is still a little useful."

Give everyone a reassuring pill first, but there is nothing wrong with what he said, there are many people in Chang'an City, who don't take him, the king of Qin, seriously, and there are many ministers of various ministries, princes, and princes, and most of them are Li Chengyang's uncles, even if this group of people hangs Li Chengyang up and smokes, maybe Li Shimin will applaud on the side.

But out of this Chang'an City, the name of the dignified King of Qin is worth a lot, and there are few officials who have a foundation, except for the officials who were specially sent out to experience from Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, etc., the rest of the officials may be a county order of seven or eight grades for a lifetime, not to mention Li Chengyang, the King of Qin, even if it is a close servant like Li Shi and Xiao'er, they have to be careful to serve when they arrive at the place.

gave everyone a good reassurance, won a piece of praise with the smell of wine, and called the eldest to come over, and whispered in his ear: "Tomorrow you will tell them on the way out, and after you arrive at the place, you will remember all the strong and inferior gentry in various places, don't do anything, don't be so enthusiastic, just write it down, and there is also the Ice Control Division to take in more homeless beggars who can't live happily, if the good family can not recruit, they will not recruit, it's okay to go out and wander around more, do good deeds, Make the façade of our Ice Division look like the Bodhisattva in our previous temple, remember? ”。

I heard that Li Chengyang wanted to spy on the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and it was said that he had a blood feud with a certain family, and his eyes were about to erupt fire, and he was held down by Li Chengyang before he jumped up, and then he heard that it was just surveillance, so he slowly extinguished the flame in his heart, and he responded with a wilt.

Seeing this, he was afraid that he would not be satisfied, so he repeated it a few times, and promised that if he had the opportunity to do something to Haoqiang in the future, he would definitely call him, so he was refreshed again.

asked Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou said that he would also go with him tomorrow, state by state, by the way, he gathered some students of the same year who were as unhappy as him, and went together to be a scribe for the Ice Division, after all, there was no one in Luoyang who could read, and he was afraid that someone would fool everyone because of this.

Li Chengyang thought about it, said goodbye to the drunk people, returned to the study room of the side courtyard with Ma Zhou, and wrote the Li algorithm written last night again and handed it to Ma Zhou.

Still not at ease, I told Ma Zhou in detail, as for how much I can remember, it depends on Ma Zhou's talent, because the sky is bright.

After saying the algorithm, Li Chengyang fell on the bed, and Ma Zhou also went to prepare for the trip, and he was still muttering: "One by one, one by one, one by two, two by two, two by two?" Two-two got to "flip through the book."

"Oh, two-two-four, hiss, Your Highness is really talented.".
