Coming out of Mufu, Li Zicheng summoned Xiong Jinzhong, director of Xining Huang Distillery, Fan Wenhui, director of Xining Yishen Perfume Factory, and Lu Wenhai, director of Xining Soap Factory.

Since the relocation of Hutoushan Glass Factory to Lanzhou, except for the basically unprofitable Xihuang Restaurant, he has only left these three factories in Xining, and more factories in Xining are concentrated in the hands of the two major merchant groups of Muhammad and Jin's.

Li Zicheng sold the technology to them cheaply on the same day, firstly, to let the industry take root in Xining and benefit more merchants and people; The second is that the technology he came up with is not a key technology, and it is okay to make money, but it will not endanger the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion.

In terms of quantity, the merchants have more factories than Li Zicheng, but he is not in a hurry, his goal is not to control all the industries, but to grasp the big and let go of the small, the key industries, high-end industries in their own hands, and the rest of the technology, or let the merchants carry forward.

Of the three factories in his hands, except for the soap factory, which is intended to benefit the people, the other two factories produce high value-added products and are extremely profitable.

Li Zicheng told Xiong Jinzhong, Fan Wenhui, and Lu Wenhai to expand the scale of the factory as much as possible, use large-scale production to reduce costs, and then launch cheaper products.

At the beginning, the Mandate of Heaven was short of money, so he produced these high-end goods, and then went to Jingshi and Jiangnan to earn silver, and after a few years, the situation has changed a lot.

After getting a large amount of gold and silver from the Shu Wangfu and the Rui Wangfu, there is no shortage of silver in the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion now, and the trade road leading to Jingshi has long been blocked by thieves, and the direction of Jiangnan is not very smooth.

Li Zicheng's gaze naturally turned back to the territory of the Mandate of Heaven, in addition to Xining, Lanzhou, and Chengdu, if the more affluent Chengdu can digest some high-end goods, it is possible to reduce costs by expanding the scale of production, thereby reducing the price and increasing local shipments.

In order to let them understand the significance of expanding the scale of production and the methods of expanding production, Li Zicheng spent a morning explaining the relevant principles of economics to the three of them.

It was already noon, Li Zicheng went directly to Xihuang Restaurant, he promised Sun Mengjie that if her father and mother were willing to go to Lanzhou, he would move them over, or open a tavern, it didn't matter if he could make money or not, he could only make a living, just distilled liquor with publicity.

When Sun Yuan and the Lan clan heard that Li Zicheng was coming, they hurriedly greeted him, "Metropolitan Governor!" This time, Sun Yuan listened to the words of the Lan clan and did not bow down.

"Father, mother, how are you?"

When Li Zicheng first married Sun Mengjie, Gao Guiying still didn't know her whereabouts, but she regarded Sun Mengjie as her wife, so she followed Sun Mengjie to call her father and mother, and she was used to it for so long.

I really want to compare several mothers-in-law, Li Zicheng also thinks that the Lan family is the best for him, when he came to this world, he had no father and no mother, and it was good to have a mother who was in pain, which could reduce loneliness.

Gao Guiying's mother is long gone, Namu Zhong's mother has never met, she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, Chen Qiudie's mother often shakes under her nose, and she is also good to him, but Song Yulian is also a wife and maid, which feels a little weird.

Tian Fen and Mu Sirong were both born in big families, their mothers, Li Zicheng is basically not familiar, Tian Fen's mother, he has never met, Mu Sirong's mother, I have only met in the past two days, less than three times in total, whether it is good or bad, it is difficult to say for sure.

"We're all right, since the Governor opened this tavern for us, life is much better than before," Lan said as he dodged away, "Governor Come in, sit in the house!" On the other hand, he called Sun Yuan to serve tea.

Li Zicheng bowed his hand and entered the hall of the tavern, "Don't be too busy, I'm just coming over for lunch and discussing things with you by the way!" ”

"Eat first, we'll talk about it later!" The Lan family introduced Li Zicheng into the private room upstairs, let Sun Yuan serve tea, and placed several soldiers next door before going to prepare the dishes by himself.

After a while, the Lan family served seven or eight dishes, mainly meat dishes, she personally carried the jar of distilled liquor, and took Sun Yuan into the private room, but she didn't dare to sit down.

"Dad, mother, sit down too, I can't finish these dishes alone!" Li Zicheng got up and pressed the two of them on the opposite seat.

Lan only prepared a pair of bowls and chopsticks just now, so he pushed Sun Yuan to go downstairs to get it, Sun Biao was sitting uncomfortable, hurriedly agreed, and went downstairs.

Lan Shi turned his face and said with a smile: "Most of the Metropolitan Governors eat first, don't wait for him!" ”

Sun Yuan took the bowl and came in, and saw that the Lan family was chatting happily with Li Zicheng, so he quietly got on the seat, put a pair of bowls and chopsticks in front of the Lan family, and slapped the sealing mud of the distilled liquor and filled it with Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng raised his glass, "Every time I come to the restaurant, I will trouble the second elder, come, this glass of wine, I respect the second elder!" ”

"It's all a family, what do most of the governors say? I didn't get busy with anything......" Lan saw that Sun Yuan was still in a daze, and hurriedly poked his elbow, and Sun Yuan just took the wine cup and dried it up.

He Xiaomi took the jar and filled the two with wine, Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Jie'er misses the second elder, I mean, if the second elder is willing to go to Lanzhou for permanent residence, he will go back with me this time!" ”

"To Lanzhou?" Sun Yuan muttered, but did not follow.

"How is Jie'er?" Lan Shi frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

"Jie'er is fine, don't worry about it," Li Zicheng sandwiched a big piece of meat, threw it in his mouth, and ate it with oil in his mouth, "It's okay, you think about it, I have to stay in Xining for a few days, you think about it, and then someone will tell me!" ”

Lan nodded, if the Metropolitan Governor didn't have Jie'er in his heart, he would definitely not be so good to them, she glanced at Sun Yuan, saw that Sun Yuan was in a daze again, she stared unconsciously, turned her head, and said to Li Zicheng: "Our family, inheriting the love of the Metropolitan Governor, can still support ourselves in Xining......

"If you are willing to go to Lanzhou, you can continue to open a tavern, and you don't have to worry about life," Li Zicheng said: "The key is whether Xining can get out of the way." ”

Lan barely squeezed out a smile, "Don't hide it from the Metropolitan Governor, Xining really can't leave......"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng estimated that it was for Sun Lin's business, and if they went to Lanzhou, it would not be easy to see Sun Lin, "You think about it yourself, think about it, just give me an answer." ”

Sun Yuan rushed to say this time: "Most of the governors may not know, Lin'er's children are still young, Lin'er and Dan'er are in the school, and the children are placed here with us on weekdays......"

Lan continued: "There is also Biao'er, who is studying in the academy, hey, it's time to go home for dinner......

At this moment, I could only hear a crisp voice downstairs, "Mother, I'm hungry......"

Lan Shi smiled, "No, say that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, the Metropolitan Governor will sit down first, the old man will accompany the Metropolitan Governor to drink two cups, and I will arrange a meal for him......"

"No, no," Li Zicheng said: "As long as you don't dislike the remnants, let Sun Biao come up and eat together!" ”

Sun Yuan didn't know where he got the courage, and said loudly: "He dares!" ”

Lan smiled, "Metropolitan Governor, Biao'er is still a child......"

"It's all a family, so you don't have to worry about this," Li Zicheng looked at the Lan family and said, "Sun Biao is not small, right?" ”

Lan said: "It's seventeen! ”

"That's not small, let him come up!" Li Zicheng measured, in this era, seventeen years old is not young, and it is time to start a family.

"Thank you, the Governor of Dadu......" Lan Shi confessed again, and only then went downstairs, came up with a pair of bowls, Sun Biao followed, arrived at the door, hesitated for a while, and finally kowtowed to Li Zicheng, "Governor Dadu!" ”

"No need to be polite, get up quickly, hungry, right? Eat first! Li Zicheng waited for Sun Biao to sit down, and said, "Where are you studying now?" Is Xining High School? ”

"Back to Dadudu, the grass people are going to school in Xining Middle School!"

Li Zicheng knew that Sun Biao's age was older in middle school, but this was the first class of middle school students in Xining, and the age difference between classmates was a few years old, which was also normal. ”

Sun Biao ate some dishes and nibbled on a steamed bun, not as hungry as before, Fang said: "What does the Metropolitan Governor want to ask the grass people?" ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "What did you learn in the school today?" Can you understand? ”

Sun Biao hurriedly put down the bowl, stared at a pair of clear eyes, and said angrily: "Dadu Governor, in today's school, Mr. is talking nonsense, and the grass people are puzzled, ask Mr., she can't tell the reason, she can only deceive the children......"

Sun Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Rebel ......"

Lan glared at Sun Yuan, but shouted at Sun Biao: "The Metropolitan Governor is here, don't talk nonsense......"

Sun Biao muttered, "I'm telling the truth......"

Li Zicheng estimated that the level of the teacher was not enough to let the students get through, so he smiled and said, "Tell me, what is Mr. talking nonsense?" ”

"Mr. said that the place where we live is a round ball," Sun Biao saw that Li Zicheng was not as strict as his father, so he said boldly: "However, the place where we live is obviously flat ground......"

"Haha, that's what it was for?" Li Zicheng laughed, this question, Mr. was afraid that he couldn't say it clearly, so he said: "Sun Biao, you think you live on flat land, what reason do you have?" Can you overturn Mr.'s conclusion? ”

"Isn't this just flat ground?" Sun Biao pointed out the window with his hand, "As long as you are not blind, anyone must be able to see it!" ”

Sun Yuan was about to scold again, but was stopped by Li Zicheng, "Sun Biao, you have questions, it's very good, but what you see in your eyes is only a part of the world, and what Mr. said is the whole picture!" ”

“……”

"Have you ever seen the sunrise?" Li Zicheng put down the bowl and said: "The place where we live is called the earth, in fact, it doesn't matter how to call it, the key question is, if the earth is flat, then why do we see the sun slowly rising from the east?" He explained for a while, but seeing that Sun Biao still didn't understand, he put down the wine cup and had lunch.

Li Zicheng made three round balls out of dough, representing the sun, the earth and the moon respectively, imitating their trajectories in the air, explaining the sunrise and sunset, as well as the solar and lunar eclipses, "You see, if the place where we live is not a sphere, but a plane, have you ever heard of a person falling from a broken place somewhere? ”

"Maybe there is, but we don't know ......"

Li Zicheng was speechless for a moment, but from Sun Biao's body, he saw Sun Biao's spirit: truth-seeking! In the eyes of many people, this is a kind of spirit, but it is an indispensable spirit for the study of science!

He didn't get angry, but cited many examples, but Sun Biao just didn't believe it, like when his father was young, once he recognized something, nine cows couldn't pull it back!

"Actually, there is a way to prove it, but unfortunately you can't go now," Li Zicheng thought of navigation, the cause of the "great geographical discovery" and the acceptance of people is from the beginning of navigation, "If you go to the sea, you can see that the earth is round!" ”

"Can you see this ball on the edge of the sea?"

"I can't see it, but I can prove it," Li Zicheng marked a piece of dough on it, used it as the sea, and asked the dough to make a big boat, "You see, this ship is coming from afar, if the sea is flat and standing on the shore, will you see the whole ship at the same time, or will you see the sails on it first?" ”

"Of course it's the whole ship, floating on the sea, of course you can see it!"

"What if the sea isn't flat?" Li Zicheng lowered the "big boat" to the "sea" and then dragged it forward.

"Naturally, I saw the sails first," Sun Biao seemed to realize something, and said hurriedly: "Governor, where is the sea?" Can you see it in the West Sea? ”

"The West Sea is not a real sea, I'm afraid I can't see it," Li Zicheng was relieved, "If one day you go to the real seaside, you can prove whether the earth is round or not!" ”
