Chapter 2008: Wife and Child
The appearance of this glass made the people of Chang'an fall into madness again.
The first time was because of the Cao brothers' water-powered loom.
The whole people are talking about this glass, and every merchant is fighting to buy it.
It can be seen that the people of Chang'an today really respect these inventions and creations, and even worship them from the heart.
Zhou Fei and clay became a pair of Chang'an "heroes" after the Cao brothers, and now the people of Chang'an are educating their children, it is impossible to say that they want to learn from the ancient sages, because it is useless to learn them, and if you want to learn from the Cao brothers, learn Xiaopang, learn Zhou Fei and clay. The reason is very simple, there is a great possibility that you will not pass the exam in ten years, but if you invent something, you can change the entire trajectory of your life in one night.
In the past, everyone looked at the inventions of these craftsmen with contempt, let alone worship, but at this time, at that time.
It can be seen that the people's ideological outlook has changed imperceptibly.
However, Luoyang on the side did not follow the trend of Chang'an, since Hongchen appeared in Luoyang, the first entertainment superstar was born in the world, although Hongchen was just a flash in the pan in Luoyang, but it is precisely because of this that the people of Luoyang miss Hongchen very much, no one thinks that Hongchen is a lowly courtesan, and the mentality has changed, especially the opinion of the courtesan.
Then it was out of control, the people of Luoyang are very interested in entertainment, Luoyang's entertainment industry is far better than Chang'an, the income of Luoyang Grand Theater is five times that of Chang'an Grand Theater, Chang'an's merry talents, poets, lyricists all went to Luoyang, because they began to feel that the people of Chang'an are too dull and boring, every day they know that hard work, Luoyang people are much more open, and now Luoyang's hawkers can chant a few words.
In fact, this is also related to the geographical location, because Chang'an is short of food, resources are not enough, in the past, the imperial court was responsible for Cao Yun, which is equivalent to using power to ensure rations, but the emperor often went to Luoyang to beg for food, it can be seen that Chang'an is not enough to exchange goods with the outside, and the resources are definitely not comparable to Jiangnan, resulting in the people of Chang'an have a most basic consensus, that is, invention and creation can keep Chang'an prosperous, once industry and commerce stop, then everyone will have nothing to eat, so any invention in Chang'an, the people are very supportive, very happy, jealous people belong to the same industry, because the people know that these inventions can provide jobs and cheap food for Chang'an, which is beneficial to them.
Luoyang is originally the economic center, the grain to Chang'an must pass through Luoyang, Luoyang people do not need to work hard, Luoyang grain prices will not be very expensive, the people of Luoyang do not have this sense of urgency, and the entertainment industry has also created many jobs. Yangzhou and Muzhou in the south of the Yangtze River are like Chang'an and Luoyang, Yangzhou is a very strong service industry, Yuan Bank has developed very well in Yangzhou, becoming the financial center of Jiangnan, and Muzhou has strong industrial capacity, and the South China Sea businessmen who go to the South China Sea, nine times out of ten are Muzhou businessmen, Yangzhou businessmen don't care, because the port is in Yangzhou, Muzhou businessmen want to go to sea, they have to come to Yangzhou first, I just build a hotel.
......
......
In the evening.
"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! ”
Li Zhi stood in the dormitory of Daming Palace for the first time, watching the beauty of the sunset, and he was intoxicated!
The reason why the Daming Palace was built is because the Taiji Palace is too low and humid, and the terrain of the Daming Palace is very high, so you can enjoy the sunset very well. Of course, he can only stand in the dormitory, because the entire Daming Palace has been repaired. Li Zhi was not an emperor who liked to waste, and he never asked to continue the construction of the Daming Palace.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat!"
Wu Meiniang behind him reminded.
"Wait, wait! Let me look at it for a moment. Li Zhi said, and beckoned again: "Queen, you can also come and have a look." ”
"Yes." Wu Meiniang smiled helplessly and walked to the window.
Li Zhi pointed out the window and said, "Isn't it beautiful." ”
Because the light shines in through the glass, it is still different, and Li Zhi is also the first time to watch the sunset through the glass, and the commotion in his heart immediately came out.
Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile, a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that this glass not only belongs to the clay and Zhou Fei, but belongs to the treasure of our Tang Dynasty." ”
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Of course it is, in the future, we don't need to buy glass from the Western Regions, but the merchants of the Western Regions will buy glass from our Datang." As he spoke, he looked proud.
Wu Meiniang said: "The concubine thinks that the imperial court should give more protection policies to clay and Zhou Fei, and must not let the secret recipe of glass be revealed." ”
Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang and said, "What do you suggest?" ”
Wu Meiniang said: "As far as the concubines know, Zhou Fei and Tao Clay bought a whole village in the southwest to build this glass workshop, the purpose of which is to protect their secret recipe, because that village is very remote, if the imperial court can give them the privilege to build an outer wall there, and make that land a forbidden area, it can help them protect the secret recipe of this glass even more." ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "You can do this thing." ”
He never thought of taking the glass for himself, in fact, he didn't think about any commodity, anyway, any commodity, as long as he wanted to, he would definitely be the first to use it, so that's it! If you want to take it for yourself, you must use this to make profits, then you have to get the official camp physique, now the Tang Dynasty is from top to bottom, is resolutely against the official camp, this is extremely hateful, the court wants to order the establishment of the official camp again, the people may rebel directly, because the people think that it is death anyway.
Wu Meiniang smiled: "The concubine knows." ”
......
Shaw House.
"Daddy! Have you ever heard of glass? ”
Han Xuanqi said vaguely while eating.
Han Yi smiled: "What do you say? ”
Han Xuanqi said: "The child heard that the glass is so magical, just like the transparent one, when will our family be able to use glass?" ”
Han Yi said: "I have to ask your sister about this, now your sister is in charge of our family's finances, and my father can only help you run errands at most." ”
Han Xuanyu looked at Han Rui who was eating in a regular manner with anticipation, and asked, "Sister, what do you think?" ”
Han Rui said: "Brother, it's not cost-effective to buy it now, and if you sell it in a year, it may be much cheaper." ”
Han Xuanyi said depressedly: "In a year? ”
Han Rui said: "This glass is not a necessary thing, so you don't need to buy it in a hurry." ”
Han Xuanyu looked at Han Rui depressedly and said, "Sister, our family is not short of this money. ”
Han Rui said: "But this is not our money, it is my father and mother who earn it, they choose me to be the head of the family, then I can't use their money indiscriminately." ”
"Oh!"
Han Xuan's mouth was pursed, the boss was unhappy, and stood up, "I'm full, Daddy, sister, you eat slowly, I'll go back to my room to do my homework!" He walked sullenly towards the bedroom.
Han Rui glanced at her younger brother, and said to Han Yi with a sad face: "Daddy, did I do something wrong?" ”
You are so similar to your mother! Han Yi smiled: "Of course you didn't do anything wrong, as the head of the family, you should be like this, be careful with your calculations, but it doesn't mean that if we have money, we should use everything to the best." The reason why we have money is because we know how to use money better than other people, if we forget this, we will also lose our wealth, in fact, it is suitable for ourselves, not necessarily the best for everything. ”
Han Rui said: "But my brother is not happy, doesn't my father often say that our family should be happy every day?" ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "This is a very interesting question, do you think it is not cost-effective to buy glass now, because you know that after a year, the price of glass will definitely be reduced, and this glass is not rice, if you don't eat it, you will starve to death, and there is no problem if you delay it for a year, so in terms of money, of course you are right." But now you have to add your brother's mood to this, does this have to be recalculated? ”
Han Rui thought for a moment, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said, "What does Daddy mean?" ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "Daddy hasn't finished talking yet, you just said that this money is earned by Daddy and your mother, but it is not earned by you, and it cannot be spent indiscriminately." ”
Han Rui frowned again, groaned for a while, and said, "Daddy, my daughter doesn't understand a little. ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "As the head of the family, it is necessary to calculate the annual family expenses, and a successful head of the family is to ensure that the family expenses are stable and do not fluctuate too much, which is why my father and your aunt are not qualified heads of the family." Since our family wants to buy glass, then we should save a little bit of other places, as long as the expenses do not increase. ”
Han Rui said happily: "My daughter knows, and my daughter will go to discuss with her brother later, and try to save this money from our expenses." ”
Han Yi nodded with a smile and said: "Rui'er, you have been well-behaved and sensible since you were a child, your father is very relieved of you, and you have never let my father worry about you, but your brother must understand that nothing in this world can be obtained at your fingertips, you must pay to be able to get it, I know that you love him very much, but you also have to use your brains." ”
Han Rui nodded and said, "My daughter remembers." ”
Suddenly, someone outside the hall laughed: "What are you father and daughter talking about, and how happy are you chatting?" ”
The father and daughter turned their heads to look and saw three beautiful women walking in from outside.
"Mother, aunt, little aunt."
Han Rui immediately stood up and shouted obediently.
Yuan Peony gently put one hand on her daughter, who was only half a head shorter than her, and said, "Rui'er, what are you talking about?" It's so engrossed that we don't even know we're coming in. ”
Han Yi smiled: "This is a secret between our father and daughter, don't be foolish." ”
Han Rui's eyes rolled and said, "Mother, I'll go back to the house to do my homework!" With that, she walked away quickly.
Xiao Wuyi smiled and said, "It seems that Rui'er still looks a little like her husband, at least in terms of running away." ”
"What a runaway, it's really ugly." Han Yi glared at her angrily, and said, "Have you eaten it, if you haven't eaten, I'll help you do it." ”
Yang Feixue sat down and said, "We've already eaten at the new market!" ”
Han Yi asked, "How did the three of you come back together?" ”
Xiao Wuyi smiled: "This is our secret, don't dig around." ”
Han Yi smiled bitterly: "When can you stop learning from me." ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "Wait until I can win you one day." ”
Han Yi sighed: "It seems that you are going to live to be old and learn to be old." ”
Yang Feixue and Yuan Peony all covered their lips and laughed.
Xiao Wuyi snorted: "Don't be complacent, one day, I can beat you without using my fists." ”
Yuan Peony shook his head slightly with a smile and said, "Actually, we went to the Women's University." ”
Han Yi smiled: "The two of them are going, I can understand, why do you go too?" Is there no clothes to fool you into donating money? ”
"Husband!" Xiao Wuyi slapped the table lightly and looked at Han Yi very dissatisfied.
Han Yi said: "Madam, don't look at my tone, you have to learn from my face, being able to fool others into paying money, that is a kind of ability." ”
The corners of Xiao Wuyi's mouth twitched, but he couldn't hold back his laughter, and said, "You are cheeky, I can't learn it." ”
Han Yi said: "That's bad! ”
Yuan Peony smiled: "I am also a woman, and I should donate money, and many people are paying attention to women's universities." The success of Zhaoyi Academy is actually a warning to us that this education should be upgraded, especially the six schools of sage should be valued. ”
Yang Feixue nodded and said, "In our study with those Jiupin academicians, we found that many inventions and creations, and many industrial and commercial concepts, have a great relationship with the six sages. ”
Yuan Peony said: "As a businessman, I also hope to see more high-level talents, and this time, I really plan to donate a sum of money to the Women's University in the name of my Yuan family." ”
Yang Feixue also said: "I also plan to donate all the money for my new book to the Women's University." ”
Xiao Wuyi didn't say a word, just looked at Han Yi very proudly.
Han Yi pulled her to his side, let her sit on his lap, put one hand around her waist, and said, "Madam, can you look at my face and give us men a way to live, don't rush to kill everything." ”
Xiao Wuyi leaned on Han Yi's arms very naturally, and said lightly: "Look at the mood." ”
After saying that, she herself "giggled" first.
Han Yi, Yuan Peony, and Yang Feixue also laughed.
Xiao Wuyi suddenly said: "Husband, do you know that everyone is talking about that glass now. ”
Han Yi smiled: "Of course I know, your son just wanted our family to replace the glass as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Wuyi asked, "Don't you have this plan?" ”
Han Yi said: "The head of the family is not me, I can say whether Fengfeilou is equipped with glass or not, but I don't count it here, but Rui'er has planned to replan our expenses this year, and strive to save some money from other expenses, so that our family can use glass as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Wuyi was about to cry when he heard this, and said very excitedly: "When did our family become so poor? ”
Han Yi smiled: "Who asked you to donate all the money to the women's university." ”
Yuan Peony pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Rui'er is not wrong to do this, the more wealth you have, you must use more strict management methods, and you can't easily spend a penny." ”
Xiao Wuyi said angrily: "Your eldest brother is a well-known loser, and the money of a tiger is enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime." ”
Yuan Peony said: "My eldest brother, and the money used by Yuan Jie, was originally squandered by our Yuan family, if everyone is willing, our family can also come up with a sum of money to squander Xuan, it doesn't matter, but there must be careful planning." ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "But doesn't my husband often say, who can get rich by saving money." ”
Yuan Peony said: "I'm talking about the management method, not saving money." ”
Han Yi hugged Xiao Wuyi tightly with both hands and said, "I think this is the reason why I didn't fail to be the head of the family and you abdicated." ”
"Can you please stop talking about it." Xiao Wuyi pursed his lips, remembering that he was betrayed by his own son, and his heart was mixed, and said: "But husband, I see that your status as the richest man in the Tang Dynasty is not guaranteed, and the wealth of other people's clay may surpass you, do you know how many businessmen are now looking for him with money." ”
Han Yi smiled: "Do you care? If you care, I have to keep this position as the richest man. ”
"Virtue!"
Xiao Wuyi gave him a charming look.
Yuan Peony said: "If the clay wants to surpass the wealth of the husband, it is hopeless in this life." ”
Yang Feixue was curious: "Why?" ”
Yuan Peony said: "I also found out from the profits of the Yuan Bank, and the Jin Bank is far more powerful than my Yuan Bank, and also has a lot of shares in the Yuan Bank." ”
Han Yi sighed and said, "Low-key, low-key." ”
Xiao Wuyi snorted: "It's low-key, it doesn't matter if the family brags." ”
"Haha!"
