finally sent Li Shimin and Empress Changsun away.

Li Chengqian called Zou Fengchi, and during this period of time, he paid little attention to his career.

As soon as Zou Fengchi came, he asked, "Tell me, how is the situation during this period of time?" ”

He has always focused on education, and he has become much less concerned with Fengtang Commercial Bank.

Zou Fengchi said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, our Zhenguan plough can already produce 3,000 per day, but the order is still scheduled until the end of next year!" ”

As soon as Zou Fengchi's words came out, Li Chengqian realized that this problem was very big.

This shows that their business is booming, but another problem has erupted. If Zhenguan plough cannot be promoted in time, and more fields are planted next year, it will basically be affected, and farmers will reclaim land in the same time period.

Therefore, he said: "Tell me, how many points does our Fengtang Commercial Bank have in Datang now?" ”

"I've set up a hundred places."

One hundred points, as far as Datang is concerned, is not much, in fact, it is the main place to set up points, but this form of setting must have cost a lot of money, and ordinary people really can't do it.

Li Chengqian was very satisfied after hearing this, so he said:

"Good! I want you to recruit a large number of people to come and produce Zhenguan plows, no matter what way you use, you must deliver all Zhenguan plows before the beginning of spring next year! ”

"This ......"

Zou Fengchi showed an embarrassed look.

"What? Questions? ”

"The villain is afraid that there is not enough money!"

"How can it not be enough? Make an order, pay part of the deposit for the order first, pay the rest later, if it is not enough, you can take out my part of the money to advance first. ”

Li Chengqian's stake in Fengtang Commercial Bank is very terrifying. During this period of time, the wealth they accumulated was also very considerable, and a large amount of money was recorded every day.

If Zou Fengchi just uses his money, of course it will not be enough.

If it doesn't work according to Li Chengqian's approach, then Li Chengqian can't do anything.

"If that's the case, it's possible!"

Zou Fengchi said.

It turns out that this is really the case, Li Chengqian's part of the money, Zou Fengchi really didn't dare to use it, this person is really cautious.

Just sent Li Chengqian to open his mouth.

"There is another thing, these 100 points, our industry should also spread outward, and we can distribute goods flat, especially soybean oil products! You know? ”

For a period of time, soybean oil has achieved great success, it can be said that the supply exceeds demand, Chang'an has succeeded, then other places are naturally similar, his thinking is modern thinking.

"That's a little understanding!"

As a businessman, Zou Fengchi certainly understands.

"Okay, let's go down and deal with it, remember that quality comes first!"

"Yes!"

Zou Fengchi only left the East Palace at this time, and after a while, Wei Zheng came to look for Li Chengqian again.

"Wei Zheng, what are you looking for this king?"

Li Chengqian sat down and asked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there has been new news about the five surnames and Qiwang recently, and there are quite a lot."

"Oh? What happened to them? Said one by one. ”

"Yes, the first thing, about the books, we have reduced the books to half of the original, I don't want them to follow desperately, because we have now touched the cost price, so the minister came to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, next, do we follow or not?"

"How many of our books are unsold?"

"There are 100,000 copies left!"

"One hundred thousand, very good, another half!"

Li Chengqian said magnificently.

But Wei Zheng showed a hint of doubt.

"What! If it goes down any further, we're afraid we're going to lose money! Now the average value of a book is 300 texts, and if it drops again, it is equivalent to 150 texts. We've touched our limit! ”

"It's okay, you can go down again, this king will give you a limit, fifty wen a book is the least!"

"Ahh Fifty texts in one book! God, that's too low, right? ”

This frightened Wei Zheng, because if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would die.

"Come on, come on, come and see this!"

Li Chengqian said with the paper that had just been produced.

"...... this?"

"This is the paper made by Benwang with a new method, the quality is better, the cost is lower, it can be reduced to one-fifth of the original cost, and the papermaking speed is ten times that of the original!"

"What! It's impossible! Such a good quality has never been seen in my Datang! ”

Wei Zheng said with the paper in his hand.

"Trial production can be carried out tonight, and if these papers enter the market, then our cost will be lower, fifty wen a copy, and we still have to make money.

Of course, as long as we don't lose money when we sell books, after all, we want to make books affordable for everyone! ”

Li Chengqian's words made Wei Zheng nod his head when he heard it.

"Okay, what about the second thing?"

"This second matter doesn't need to be talked about, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has solved it!"

"Oh? Is it about paper? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty ordered that the price should not be raised, but they directly controlled the quantity and reduced the supply, but after looking at these papers from His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need to say anything about it."

These guys are really doing everything, Li Shimin has a policy, they have countermeasures, they don't sell, and Li Shimin can't do anything about them.

Li Chengqian sneered:

"Hmph, this time they are going to lose money, when this king's new paper comes out, the quality of the book is better, the price is lower, see who will buy their book!?"

"That's it!"

"Anything else?"

"No, everything else has become useless because of His Royal Highness the Prince's new paper!"

It's really a paper solution, and it's better this way.

The two were deliberating, and suddenly the sky changed color, and then the sky gradually darkened, as if it was night.

This frightened Wei Zheng.

"It's Tengu Eclipse Day! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, be careful! ”

The ancients believed that a solar eclipse was a sign of "bad omen"

Due to the existence of totem worship in ancient times, people worshipped natural phenomena such as the sun, moon and stars as gods. The damage to the sun caused by a solar eclipse naturally causes fear, which, combined with the guidance of the ruling class or religion, leads people to mistakenly believe that a solar eclipse is a "bad omen".

The ancient ruling class of China believed that the occurrence of a solar eclipse should be due to the king's immorality, political disorder, and offending the heavens, so it was not just a matter of warning that the world should be condemned.

Chinese folk believe that evil gods such as "tengu" are against humans and deliberately destroy the sun on which all things depend.

At the same time, Xue Rengui also rushed over from outside, and at this time, he should be by Li Chengqian's side to protect him.

But Li Chengqian didn't care, because he knew what it was.

"No fuss!"

He said calmly.

Isn't it just a solar eclipse? As for this?

According to historical records, this period of time happened to be the time of the solar eclipse, and it was in Chang'an.
