Chapter 151: Fireside Chat

"That group of uncles just now was so barbaric, they actually fought right here......"

As soon as the group of Scottish businessmen left, Xiao Leah couldn't wait to jump out, although what she said seemed to be complaining, but her eyes obviously flashed with interest, after all, children love to be lively, probably Xiao Leah thought that the quarrel and brawl of Scottish businessmen just now was a way to play. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

But those people have blue noses and swollen faces, Xiao Leah, you still think it's a game, how wide is your heart?

"Lily can't learn from those uncles, you're a girl, you can't fight."

Little Tang Dagong hurriedly pulled Xiao Lia over, and said seriously, I was so happy to see the group of Scots fighting just now, I forgot that there were children around me, in case Lily followed the bad learning, then Xiao Tang Dagong would regret dying, thinking of this, Xiao Tang Dagong hurriedly added:

"Those uncles are highland barbarians, no one likes barbarians, if Lily fights, she will become a barbarian, and then my brother won't like Lily."

"Uh......h I know. ”

Lily, who was reprimanded for no reason, pouted aggrievedly, Duke Tang was distressed when he saw it, but he couldn't help it, the first time he took a child, he really had no experience at all, until now, he didn't know how to train Lily, just like waiting until Lily's birthday in the future, should he give a rag doll or a sword?

Ragdoll girls like it, but the sword is a sign of being a lord, and a lord without a sword can't get the approval of the knights at all, so the little Tang Dagong hesitated.

But he's really worried about it, and it's good to send a sword, really.

After all, it is this era of gunpowder, even a girl knows that she must have a sword in her hand to protect herself, not to mention that although Lily is small, her fate is really unlucky, some places are still very naΓ―ve due to age and knowledge, but some places have been seen more clearly than ordinary adults.

"Remember our agreement? Now Lily will tell me what you have learned, and if I'm satisfied, the whole cake shop in Munster will be yours. ”

After comforting Lily, Duke Tang Xiao still didn't forget his agreement with Lily, and asked.

"Lily knows! The barbarians are all dressed strangely! ”

Hearing the cake, Lily immediately became full of vitality, and said such an answer without thinking about it, and of course, the little Tang Duke who heard such an answer also gave Lily a slap without thinking.

"Seriously, it's an exam."

If you hadn't laughed out loud, maybe I would...... But it's understandable, Scotsman, a big man wears a skirt or something, which almost made the embarrassment of the little Tang Duke again, and he has been holding back his laughter just now, and when he heard Lily, an innocent child, he couldn't help it.

"If there's anything else...... All of their embarrassments just now were pretended, obviously they had already made money, and they had to pretend that they didn't make it, just to sit on the ground and raise the price. ”

For the sake of the cake, Lily also fought hard, holding her little head and thinking for a while, before she said this. However, such an answer surprised the little Tang Grand Duke.

He originally thought that Lily would ask the question of why she should give kickbacks to businessmen, but he didn't expect Lily to jump directly to 'businessman's self-cultivation', is Lily really talented in doing business?

"Lily, how did you come up with this?"

Didn't directly say whether Lily's answer was right or wrong, and with an encouraging attitude, Xiao Tang Dagong stroked Lily's head, making her show a very comfortable expression, and then asked.

"It's my mother, once before, I heard my mother talk to a businessman about business, as long as the merchant bids, it will definitely be profitable, and the rest is just a matter of earning more and earning less; Although the barbarians just now were not satisfied with the price offered by their brother, they did not completely refuse, so they must have earned it. ”

Very surprised, well, very surprised, as if I saw that the little confusion who lived next door to your house and had been with each other for more than ten years suddenly became a genius who knew everything about astronomy and geography, and the little Tang Grand Duke was so surprised that he even forgot to move the hand that was stroking Lily's head.

Although it is said that in the future, these can be seen by any person, but it is unfair to compare the future with the people of the present, and the amount of information in a newspaper read by ordinary people in the 19th century every day has exceeded the knowledge of a medieval peasant in a lifetime, and it is really surprising that Lily is just a child to have such an idea.

Although most of it is due to her mother.

"Does Lily know why her brother is giving kickbacks to these businessmen?"

With some expectations, the Grand Duke of Tang continued to ask, he had already made up his mind, if Lily could even answer this question, then let Lily follow Klein, under the teaching of this genius treasurer, Lily would definitely become the queen of finance!

Unfortunately, though, Lily had no idea.

Actually, it's the same thing, if Lily can really say the answer, I have to wonder if Lily is also cross-traveling.

That's it, Duke Tang sighed silently, comforted himself in his heart and said, Lily's performance today is already very good, and she really can't ask for more.

"I'm telling you, Lily, the reason why 7 is giving kickbacks to these businessmen is to stimulate their initiative."

"Initiative?"

Lily repeated the word, she didn't quite understand the meaning of the new word, but it didn't matter, the little Tang Duke immediately solved her puzzles.

"That's right, initiative, for example, I said that Lily is not allowed to sleep tonight, she has to stay up all night to study, would you like to?"

"Big brother, big badass!"

Before the words of the little Tang Grand Duke were finished, Lily directly bit his hand, and spoke vaguely while biting, it seems that since the last time biting the arm has become a habit, Lily has really regarded this as entertainment.

"Pain, pain, pain...... Lily let go, it's just a hypothesis! ”

Little Tang's tears were about to come out, but he had never been injured until now, even on the battlefield, no one could get close to him, and several times of bleeding were bitten by Lily! Finally, when Lily was relieved, Duke Tang looked at his hand, and sure enough, two rows of clear tooth marks were engraved on it.

"Okay, back to the topic above, let you stay up all night studying, would you like to?"

"Of course not, big bad!"

Lily pursed her mouth again, and even tilted her head to the side, not looking at the pitiful appearance of the little Tang Grand Duke, that expression, well, was like a fried cat.

"But what if I'm willing to let you eat cake while you stay up late? Delicious cake, would you like it? ”

"Woo......"

Now Lily is a difficult choice, sleep and cake, no matter which one is her love, neither of them is willing to discard, but now she is asked to choose one of the two, no wonder she looks left and right, swaying.

"So, Lily, you can't make up your mind just because of the cake, but brother, I gave those merchants gold, shiny gold. The elder brother hangs the gold coin in front of the merchant, just like the farmer hangs in front of the donkey with a turnip, and they don't need to be whipped at all, they will take the initiative and run forward without stopping, and the elder brother can receive a lot of profits while sitting at home, do you understand? ”

The Duke of Little Tang held Lily on his lap, and little by little he crumpled up what had just happened and told Lily, but Lily obviously still knew a little bit about it, and she was confused when she listened, and it would be good to be able to understand it - but it didn't matter, it was enough to lay a foundation for now, and the Duke of Little Tang had time and confidence to be able to train Lily into a qualified lord.

"Your Excellency, here is the contract with those Scottish merchants, please take a look."

In fact, although the Duke of Little Tang has just reached a cooperation intention with the Scottish merchants, the intention is only the intention after all, and in terms of details, how many kilograms of woad indigo grass are carried in each carriage, how many tons of woad indigo grass are carried in each boat, how to settle the settlement, and whether it can be replaced by other equivalents - such as salt, these are all things that need to be discussed again.

However, these tedious things can be left to Klein, if you really learn Zhuge Liang, you must bow to it, and the Duke of Xiao Tang will be tired to death, so you don't have to think about the cultivation plan that you like to see.

At present, it is Klein who has negotiated most of the conditions with the Scottish merchants, written them down on paper, and brought them to the little Duke Tang for seeing.

"When will the first batch of woad indigo be delivered?"

Grand Duke Xiao Tang asked while looking at the dense terms on the contract.

"One week at the earliest, half a month at the slowest at the latest, in addition, the Scottish merchants also promised that once the first batch of woad indigo grass is delivered, then every five days, there will be a new shipload of woad indigo grass, and it will never be out of stock, if it is out of stock, it will be handled in accordance with Article 5 of the third paragraph of the contract, and we will be compensated for our losses at ten times the price."

Klein replied confidently, these things he took over by himself, he can remember them clearly without memorizing, Grand Duke Tang nodded, and then asked:

"How is the preparation of the dye workshop, I asked you to find an experienced master, have you found it?"

"This ......" Klein looked embarrassed: "The dye workshop has been built in a remote place outside the city in order to keep the secret according to your instructions, and has sent guards to guard it, but experienced masters, this may take a little time......"

"That's right." Grand Duke Xiao Tang sighed, but this is also a helpless thing, after all, an experienced master, no matter which line of work it is, is a treasure, it is impossible to run into it so easily, and there is nothing to complain about.

"Then, when the dye workshop starts, I'll take a look again, after all, some new technologies really need my guidance-"
