Chapter 674 - Building a school

Shouchun City, except for Yuan Shu's imperial palace, has almost no decent architecture.

Lingyun Pavilion chose the street facing the south gate of the city.

The Lingyun Pavilion under construction attracted many onlookers.

It's not that the residents of Shouchun City haven't seen tall buildings, and Yuan Shu's palace bearing is not even much worse than that of Luoyang and Chang'an.

However, they had never seen a tall building like Lingyun Pavilion in the market.

The foundation was laid, and the frame of the four-story building had just been built, giving people a feeling of standing out from the crowd in Shouchun City.

The steward of Lingyun Pavilion stood in front of the tall building under construction, looking at the tall building, his face was a little solemn.

Cao Shuo's problem for him is really not small.

Huainan has withered away, and it is impossible to build Lingyun Pavilion here, and there are not many guests at all......

"Steward!" A thin woman who accompanied him here came up and whispered, "I don't think there are many people in Shouchun City who can afford to come to Lingyun Pavilion......"

"I know that too." The steward said: "However, the prince wants me to build Lingyun Pavilion here, what can I do." ”

The thin woman said, "I can find the singer and the dancer, but I'm afraid there will be no guests......"

"When you open a store and do business, how can you just wait for customers to come to your door?" The steward said, "We have to go to the guests!" ”

"What do you mean by stewardship......" asked the thin woman.

"You don't care." The steward said: "Find more singers and dancers, even if there are no guests, we still have to have these in Lingyun Pavilion." ”

"I see." The skinny woman answered.

The steward looked at a man on the side: "Before I came to Huainan, I asked what was here, and it is said that there are many herbs in Bagong Mountain......"

"It's just herbs, I'm afraid it won't attract many merchants." The man said: "Even if it is attracted, it is just some merchants who make medicinal materials. ”

"Near Huaishui, can you still find something attractive?" The steward said: "Huaishui near Zhongli is rich in pearls, let people go to the pearls, make use of everything that can be used, and be sure to attract more merchants to Shouchun!" ”

The man answered!

When Lingyun Pavilion was built, Cao Shuo and Chen Gong sat in the study.

"Lingyun Pavilion is so moving, the people in the city are watching it every day." Chen Gong said: "Childe thinks they should be so swaggering? ”

"The soldiers under my command are all supported by Lingyun Pavilion." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Even the people of Huainan have gained a lot of benefits from them, no matter how ostentatious they are, it is not excessive." ”

Lowering his voice, Cao Shuo owed to Chen Gong: "What's more, they are businessmen, not officials." Merchants are making money by their ability, and they can't affect the people, if they think they are swaggering, it's just pink eye, don't pay attention to it. ”

"What Childe said is reasonable!" Chen Gong said: "I'm just worried that some people will be jealous when they see the great cause of the Lingyun Pavilion family. ”

"When we are jealous, we have to take care of their emotions?" Cao Shuo said: "How can there be such a reason? Could it be that those people are poor, so I have to let Lingyun Pavilion be poor with them? ”

Chen Gong was told by Cao Shuo that he didn't know how to deal with it.

"Does the public know why I have to leave Lingyun Pavilion in Shouchun?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It is said that the dishes of Lingyun Pavilion are expensive, and they are not affordable for ordinary people at all." Chen Gong said: "Huainan is withering, not to mention the people, even the businessmen don't have much spare money in their hands, but I'm afraid that there will be few guests after the opening." ”

"I knew it was going to be a crowd." Cao Shuo smiled sheepishly: "Originally, I should have considered how to solve these things, Lingyun Pavilion entered Shouchun, and in order to prosper in business, the steward had to think of ways to lure people to Shouchun." I don't have to bother at all, Shouchun can attract countless businessmen, why don't I do it? ”

Chen Gong was stunned, looking at Cao Shuo, his mouth opened slightly, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Since he took refuge in Cao Shuo in Xiapi, Chen Gong found that the second son of the Cao family is indeed somewhat capable, but it is not as magical as the legend.

If he is asked to do specific things, he may be able to do many things very much.

However, Cao Shuo knows how to use people.

Especially the matter of Lingyun Pavilion reflects his talent in employing people!

The dilapidated Shouchun City needs to recuperate after many years to attract foreign businessmen.

However, when Lingyun Pavilion came to Shouchun, for the sake of business, they had to find a way to broaden the business scope of Shouchun City's merchants and attract foreign merchants here.

The more foreign merchants, the faster Shouchun City will prosper......

Even Shangjia Cao Shuo can be used to the fullest, who else can't be used because of his talent?

"Gongtai!" Cao Shuo said to Chen Gong, who was full of astonishment: "I know you have a lot of things on your hands, but there is still one thing you need to do!" ”

"As long as Childe commands, I will do my best." Chen Gong responded.

"I used to think that I couldn't let the people open up their wisdom." Cao Shuo said: "Once the people's wisdom is opened, we will have many constraints on doing many things, but we can't let them be confused, we must always select some talents from the countryside......"

"What does Childe mean ......," Chen Gong asked.

"I want to choose the good by my talents." Cao Shuo said: "Many capable people live in the countryside and cannot be reused, which is their sorrow and our loss. Do you think it would be better for the localities to open an academy to attract learned people to come and talk about the world's affairs, choose to reuse them with unique opinions, and assign them to various places as officials? ”

"Childe is right." Chen Gong said: "Before the pre-Qin, various countries used this method to select talents, especially the Qin State was the most courageous, so the weak Qin turned strong, and then pacified the Seven Kingdoms. ”

"Although it is not a matter of dividing the world with the country now." Cao Shuo said: "However, heroes everywhere support their own soldiers, who still puts the Han family in their eyes? It is no different from the Seven Heroes of the Warring States of the year. The more times like this, the more we can't let the virtuous die in the countryside, even if they are already old, we must find out and entrust them with important tasks! ”

"In what way does Childe plan to let Xianliang talk about the world's major affairs?" Chen Gong asked.

"I've said it, open a school." Cao Shuo said: "Anyone who has read books and has opinions on major events in the world can enter the university for in-depth study. As for those great sages who are stuck in the mountains and forests, we must invite them out of the mountains, and refuse to teach the arts to the officials in the academic institutions. Those who are willing to serve as officials should be entrusted with important responsibilities so that they can learn and be useful! ”

"I probably understand what Childe said!" Chen Gong said: "I'll handle this matter after I go back!" ”

"Not a general understanding." Cao Shuo said: "Don't be busy with hands-on things first, you have to have a transparent idea and get this done step by step." ”
