The current Datang, if you want to play with it, a simple country may no longer work.

Now, whether it is a steppe person or a plateau person, they can no longer make the Central Plains people tremble.

They need to re-examine the mode of getting along with the Central Plains people!

The train experiment was so successful that businessmen with a keen sense of smell flocked to the Tianxia Tower on the same day to demand a contract for the carriage of trains.

Even if the line has not yet been laid to their area.

This contract, in the form of an auction, allows merchants to bid on it.

After all, the merchants in the region are competitive, and the railway has only one line, which will definitely not satisfy all the merchants.

The auction house downstairs in the world, which had been silent for a while, has become active again.

"Don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, the railway transportation contract, hehe, can make money, but it will also offend many people!"

After the butler of the eldest grandson's family finished speaking, he once again raised the sign: "10,000 silver coins per year, plus 20% of the price of the goods transported!" ”

The merchants didn't expect the housekeeper of the eldest grandson's family to be so ruthless, and even put forward the conditions for the commission. It seems that over there in Liaodong, the contract will definitely fall to their house!

There was silence, not many people could afford to pay the price of 10,000 silver coins, and no one dared to snatch Zhao Guogong's job.

In the cubicle of the auction, Leng Feng watched the competition outside while enjoying Di Renjie and Wu Mei's massage.

Wu Mei pressed and said, "Master, if we are like this, we may get the support of one family in one area, but offend all the rest!" ”

Di Renjie let go of his hand and went to pour tea for Leng Feng, and said while pouring tea: "Master, what Senior Sister said is not unreasonable, what is the purpose of you doing this?" ”

Di Renjie is different from Wu Mei, Wu Mei will only believe in her own deductions, while Di Renjie believes all the words of the master with almost admiration. In his opinion, Master would never do such a stupid thing. TV debut

Leng Feng took the teacup handed over by Di Renjie and said with a smile: "Actually, I did this for another purpose, which is to force small businesses to merge.

Now Datang's commercial substitution agriculture has become the main body of taxpayers, and scattered businesses compete with each other, resulting in the result that none of them can make a profit. If they can't make a profit, they can't raise taxes.

It's so good now, and those who cooperate with the railways can stand out. Those who have obtained the qualification for cooperation, in order to give full play to the effect of transportation, will definitely attract small businesses to cooperate together, and small businesses will also take the initiative to ask for merger for this free ride.

In this way, the integration of the same industry in the region can promote the income of commercial tax, which is not beneficial! ”

After listening to Leng Feng's words, Di Renjie smiled at Wu Mei and said, "Did you hear it, I knew that the master wouldn't do things casually." ”

Wu Mei just snorted coldly, then ignored Di Renjie anymore, but hugged Leng Feng's arm: "Master, after the steam engine is completed, I don't have much fun anymore, can you let me go to the Academy of Literature to study?" ”

"Huh? No, no, no! What are you doing there as a girl! If you want to learn something, Master can teach you! ”

Leng Feng was taken aback, is that a place where women can enter? In this era, we believe that "a woman's lack of talent is virtue", and a great woman is a woman who can order piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and if she can write and read letters, she is already a special existence.

When the personnel of key departments such as the Thunder Division marry wives, the first choice is a peasant woman who does not know how to read or write.

As for the study of knowledge, tsk, don't even think about it, this is something that goes against the norm.

Wu Mei immediately pursed her lips: "I asked my wife before, and my wife had the same reaction as you." I don't understand, why can't women learn and become officials? You have to stay at home honestly, raise children, embroider or something? ”

Leng Feng and Di Renjie glanced at each other, and the master and apprentice shrugged their shoulders together. This is a fixed idea of society, and it is not something that one or two people can change, even if it is an emperor, it is difficult.

"Mei Niang, this is not up to the master, it's useless for you to tell the master."

Seeing that Wu Mei lowered her head, a little lost, Leng Feng said: "Since there is nothing interesting in Chang'an, you can go to the grassland, you haven't been to the grassland to see your mother and sister for a while." ”

Wu Mei pouted: "The grassland is nothing interesting, it's better to.... Master, why don't you send someone to send me to Senior Brother Prince, and I will follow Senior Brother around the Tang Dynasty. ”

"This...."

Leng Feng looked at Di Renjie, and when he saw Di Renjie nodding frantically, he said, "It's not impossible, but you can't make trouble for your senior brother the prince!" ”

Wu Mei nodded frantically.

After asking Lao Yuan to arrange someone for her, Wu Mei followed Lao Yuan out of the private room.

It wasn't until after Wu Mei left that Di Renjie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, you should have let Senior Brother Crown Prince take her away a long time ago."

Seeing that Di Renjie had gained his soul in an instant, Leng Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "Tut-tut, what's going on with you two?" Why do I think it's a bit of love and killing? ”

Di Renjie shook his head frantically: "Master, don't run me, me and her?" How can it be? I just don't like her personality, and she thinks I'm awkward.

Every time we met, we would argue over something. Sometimes she doesn't take care of me, and she uses her status as a senior sister to press me. Master, what did you think in the first place to accept a female apprentice? ”

Leng Feng scratched his chin and accepted Wu Mei as an apprentice, to be honest, just to fork the timeline. Anyway, Li Shimin said that it was impossible to choose a concubine for his apprentice. As for Li Zhi, I'm afraid he can't even be the emperor!

Di Renjie saw that Leng Feng just scratched his chin and didn't speak, so he could only sigh.

During his research on the steam engine, he didn't know how many times he argued with Wu Mei. Many times, he adhered to the idea of "good men don't fight with women", so he didn't quarrel with her more fiercely.

Leng Feng didn't know what he thought, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said to Di Renjie: "Why don't you also play with your senior brother the prince, Master will give you a year off." ”

"Huh?"

Di Renjie almost fell out of his chair.

"Master, I, I'm not going! What's that, by the way, doesn't Senior Brother Wei still have to study ironclad ships! He needs help! "Remember the →m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m for you to read the novel in a second.

At the same time, Di Renjie also shouted in his heart: "I finally got rid of this woman, how can I get together?" ”

Leng Feng smiled: "Actually, Wu Mei and you are quite complementary, Renjie, you like to plan and then act, and Wu Mei is resolute." In terms of doing things, both of you are extreme, only by neutralizing it, you will not miss the opportunity or do the wrong thing directly! ”

Di Renjie suddenly raised his head: "What, Master, I doubt, do you want to draw the red line for the two of us?" ”

Leng Feng hurriedly shook his head: "How is it possible, you think too much, I just want the two of you to learn from each other, don't think about it so much." ”
