Chapter 30: The Way of the Man
The direction of human evolution is always surprisingly consistent, just as Hammurabi wrote in the code of 'eye for eye, life for life', the Chinese have also emphasized the equivalent revenge of 'treating others with their own way', which is widely recognized in society.
Li Er's refusal to give money was too unkind, which made Xu Yang look down on him a little, not giving money and not giving money are completely different things, as an emperor, he still wants to take advantage of his courtiers in the face of the catastrophe of the country, and even Xu Yang, who has always been good-tempered, feels angry.
The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention a person who has crossed over, so Xu Yang plans to take this opportunity to do a good job, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, anyway, Li Erli is the first to lose, as long as what he does is in line with the etiquette and law, who cares about right or wrong.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang became happy again, and when he saw Teng Jianhu's chubby face, he didn't feel disgusted, but felt a sense of kindness, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, fortunately, there was still time, and patted Teng Jianhu on the shoulder and said: "Go and gather the residents of Qinglong and Dunhua, the marquis of this county has something to say." ”……
"Your Majesty, this time to repair the two squares of Qinglong Dunhua, the original allocation of 300,000 guan really doesn't need to be given to that Xu Yang? The concubine always felt a little sorry for him. Empress Changsun slowly walked behind Li Er, who was reviewing the folds, with a bowl of white fungus soup, and said softly.
Stopping the red pen in his hand, Li Er slowly raised his head, looked at the bright glass window on the imperial study, and shook his head: "This kid is making too much money now, and eighty percent of the roasted tea shops and wine shops in Youzhou that I secretly asked Ying Wei to investigate are run by the Liu family." Annual profit of millions of yuan. It is comparable to half a year's tax revenue of the national treasury in the past. Coupled with the glass factory and cement factory in Chang'an, I really can't estimate how much money this kid has now, I hate this feeling of not being in control, for this first businessman in the Tang Dynasty, I always have to give it a try, people's hearts are changeable, if he has any drastic reaction this time, it means that he is still the same Xu Yang. If he hides it and doesn't ......," Li Er's words stopped here.
The sunlight outside the house seemed to be frozen, and in the room, a pair of cold Danfeng eyes looked at the cinnabar in front of the table, "Then I don't mind moving him." ”
Empress Eldest Sun's face was a little bad at this time, for Xu Yang, although she often scolded him, but in her bones, she still regarded this Guigu disciple as a kind junior, and never thought that one day she would do anything to hurt him. "Your Majesty, this earthquake has just passed. If it weren't for this Xu Yang to go to the palace in time to evacuate the people, don't stay overnight in the house, presumably Chang'an will not have a great fortune without casualties this time, the concubine has followed His Majesty for many years, and it is still quite accurate to see people. ”
Li Er also smiled slightly when he heard this, "Guanyin is too worried, don't worry, this kid has made a lot of credit to my Tang Dynasty, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, as long as he has no objection, I will definitely protect him for eternity and rest with the country." ”
Hearing Li Er say this, Empress Eldest Sun smiled, picked up the bowl of white fungus soup on the table, and fed it to Li Er with her own hands......
Liu Mengli's heart is dripping blood, it stands to reason that this day of the month is a day when she is very depressed, because there is a large cart of copper coins, which is pulled from the Zhuang Lord's Mansion to Nanshan Academy, this kind of behavior is sponsored by her husband.
Xu Yang attaches great importance to the academy, and only those who have experienced the era of science and technology know what the progress of science and technology means to the times, so the funds needed for the research of the academy are provided as much as possible.
In fact, investing in scientific research is like buying a lottery ticket, you may win the lottery at any time, science and technology have no other forks in the road, once it starts, it will naturally evolve according to the evolution of history, the system of the academy is becoming more and more perfect, more and more social disciplines are divided, and the Mohist gentlemen who are proficient in mechanical arts have made progress far beyond history in this stable and comfortable environment.
"Grandma, you don't have to come out with you, the little one will definitely send the money to the academy safely." Steward Qian saw Liu Mengli visiting by the door, so he comforted.
"Old Qian, how much money did my husband sponsor to the academy this month?" Liu Mengli asked with some frustration.
"Back to the young grandmother, this month Youzhou transported a car and a half copper coins, wine earned 100,000 yuan, tea earned 70,000 yuan, this car is the wine earned 100,000 yuan." Old Qian squinted his eyes and said.
"Ugh." Liu Mengli sighed lightly, didn't say much, just looked at the servant who was carrying the copper coin, and was a little reluctant.
The old money has been in the village for more than a year, and when he saw the eldest and youngest grandmothers like this, how could he not see that Liu Mengli was distressed about those copper coins, and hurriedly comforted: "The eldest and youngest grandmothers don't know, the little ones were simply broken in the head when they asked the county lord to hand over the silver money to the academy for free, after all, this matter is left to us subordinates, it is a loser, these money are given to those poor and rotten Confucians, so that they hide in the house all day long and toss around, it is like wasting the silver in vain, so that in the end, Liu Qi, who has always been favored by the county lord, asked us why he gave this money to the academy for nothing, guess what the county lord said? ”
Lao Qian's words also aroused Liu Mengli's interest, and she was also very curious about her husband's cart of silver money to pull the academy, but she was embarrassed to ask, men always have some of their own careers, and now when she heard Lao Qian mention it, she immediately became interested and asked, "Oh? Husband, what did he say? ”
Lao Qian seemed to be reminiscing, and as if he was repeating, he said with a look of admiration: "The county lord told us the subordinates that in the Tang Dynasty, whether it was a roasted tea factory or a glass factory, it was not what he was most proud of, and what made him proud, and also allowed the Xu family to settle down in Chang'an, is only Nanshan Academy, so we should remember in the future that the money we pulled is not a waste of money, but a life-saving money bought for our children and grandchildren." ”
"The life-saving money bought for future generations...... Liu Mengli thought silently, and then thought of Xu Xingtang, who was still sleeping in the wing, with a happy look on his face, his own man is so powerful, and when other aristocratic businessmen in Chang'an were still thinking about how to earn more silver, their own men began to think about future generations, is this the vision of Guiguzi? Liu Mengli didn't know, but when she thought about her husband, she had an extremely down-to-earth sense of security.
nodded, the frustration on his face was swept away, and when he saw the cart of copper coins, Liu Mengli actually felt that the money was still a little little, and waved his hand to urge: "Since the husband said so, then there must be a reason for the husband, our village is in Chang'an, at most it is a second-rate nobleman, and there is no dragon skill, so you have to think more about the way to save your life, and what the husband asks, you must abide by it on time." ”
Lao Qian was also very happy when he saw that the haze on Liu Mengli's face had dissipated, and said, "The little one obeys the order, and he will set off." ”
Liu Mengli walked out of the door, and under the service of the two maids, she personally inspected the carriage again, and then said to the money steward sitting on the wheel: "These copper coins are good to take care of, be careful on the road." ”
"Grandma, don't worry." I don't know when, a bald man rode a horse in front of the carriage, waved his hand at Liu Mengli, and saw Biao Daguang with a gun on his back, Liu Mengli also nodded with confidence, and then watched the convoy leave......
"The people of the two squares of Qinglong Dunhua want to merge into one square?" Teng Jianhu still didn't react.
"That's right." Xu Yang took a bite of a peach and squinted at a large wetland. I'm still thinking about how to get this water out.
"Then what if there's one more workshop?" Teng Jianhu asked in a daze.
"Keep it for the money." Xu Yang took a big bite of the peach, revealing the bright red peach pit inside, and his smile was very sweet...... (To be continued......)
