"Damn, it's also high one rank higher than you, what's the matter, the master's feet just now haven't kicked you comfortably?" Cheng Huailiang had nowhere to vent when he was sullen, and now Chai Lingwu took the initiative to run over to provoke, which naturally provoked him to be angry, and he spoke without the slightest politeness.

"You ......" Chai Lingwu fell on the field a few times, and now his whole body is still sore, and when he heard Cheng Huailiang mention this, he was naturally very annoyed, but after all, it was allowed by the game, so if he fought with Cheng Huailiang because of this matter, it would be too tasteless, so in the end, he endured it alive.

"Humph! Now whatever you are arrogant, I want to see, who of us has the last laugh? Chai Lingwu suddenly smiled coldly, turned around and prepared to leave after speaking.

"Hehe, when Rokuro comes back, who will have the last laugh may not be the end!" At this moment, Li Jingye also came over and shouted at Chai Lingwu's back. After hearing this, Chai Lingwu paused slightly, turned his head and glanced at Li Jingye and them coldly, and then left without looking back.

"The fourth brother's people are indeed too arrogant during this time!" Li Ke slowly rode to Li Jingye's side and said with a smile, but Li Jingye didn't expect Li Ke to be next to him, thinking of his own words just now, his face showed a little embarrassment.

Since the crown prince Li Chengqian was injured in the foot, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and his subordinates have been very active, as if the crown prince is already in the pocket of the king of Wei, and Chai Lingwu is Li Tai's hardcore subordinate. However, in order to fight the other party just now, Li Jingye's words revealed that he wanted to support Li Su and Li Tai to compete for the throne. Originally, it was nothing, but Li Ke usually befriended them. And he is also Li Su's own brother, and now Li Jingye supports his younger brother but does not support his brother, which naturally makes him a little embarrassed in front of Li Ke.

"Haha~, it's rare to see that you also blush when you are dedicated, it's really surprising!" Li Ke propped himself on the ground with one foot, stretched out his hand and patted Li Jingye's shoulder and smiled, but then his face turned pale. Suddenly, he whispered to Li Jingye, Cheng Huailiang, and Qin Huaiyu: "If a few brothers can convince the family to really support Liulang, then Li Ke has thanked him here in advance!" ”

Li Ke said and bowed his hand to the three of them. Then, without waiting for the three of them to react, they rode away with a kick, leaving the three of them to look at each other. After a long while, Cheng Huailiang spoke: "What does San Lang mean, does he really plan to support Liu Lang?" ”

"Huailiang, Shen Yan, this is not the time to talk about this!" Qin Huaiyu said with a cautious face, the people in the arena have not completely dispersed, and it is not suitable to discuss such a sensitive issue at all.

Li Jingye also hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Speaking of which, Liulang has also been away from Chang'an for half a year, and I really miss him after not seeing him for so long." If he was in Chang'an, he would definitely be able to come up with more interesting things! ”

"Haha~, that's right, sometimes he can make something fun by just unintentionally. For example, if His Majesty hadn't given away the bicycle we were playing on, no one would have known the benefits of this thing. Cheng Huailiang also reacted, laughed and helped the car on the ground up, and then let the subordinates push it away to repair it.

"Hey, what are you three doing standing there? Hurry up. It's about to be a meeting! At this moment, the little fat man Li Jingheng shouted at them in the distance, and there were already a lot of people sitting beside him. At this time, the three of them remembered that they had already agreed that there would be a meeting after the game, as if Wang Zihao had received instructions from Li Su, and there were many things to explain.

The three of them agreed, and hurriedly ran over, and the presiding officer was Li Jing's agent in Chang'an, Wang Zihao, as soon as he saw Li Jingye and the three of them running, he immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to Li Gongzi for winning the first place, as for Cheng Gongzi, it's a pity, now the quality of the car still can't meet the requirements!" ”

"Zihao, you're welcome, let's start quickly, we can't wait." Qin Huaiyu found a stool and sat down, and the servants around him immediately served tea and water, this is an open field, and the surroundings have been separated by guards, so there is no need to worry about being overheard.

In addition to Li Jingye and Cheng Huailiang, there were also a few wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, who were very rich in money, and they were deeply involved in several open industries such as cement, charcoal, and canned food processing, and Li Su was interested, and they were usually very active in the promotion of these industries, so they were invited to this high-level meeting, but their authority was extremely low, and if they were not allowed to speak, they could not speak at will, which was a world of difference compared with Wang Zihao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's meeting is mainly about three things, the first is coal, the second is glass, and the third is the textile of the future." Wang Zihao paused here, and then said: "The sales of coal is not a problem, according to the results of our investigation, now in addition to the cement industry and civil, other industries have gradually begun to use charcoal to replace charcoal and other fuels, so the demand is increasing, it is estimated that in the next ten years, coal is in short supply, and the reason for this state is only one problem, that is, the shortage of people." ”

Wang Zihao's words caused a lot of discussion among the people below, this problem has not been a day or two, but there has been no good way.

"Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me continue!" Wang Zihao hurriedly raised his arm and pressed down, and he still had something to say. Although the people below are all noble sons such as Cheng Huailiang, and they are usually masters who are not afraid of heaven and earth in the city, Wang Zihao represents Li Su, so they are very quiet with face.

"Regarding the problem of lack of people, everyone must also know that several government offices led by Cheng Fu have sent people to collect slaves on the grassland, and in just half a year, tens of thousands of slaves have been brought. In addition, His Royal Highness the King of Qi and Yan Changshi in Dengzhou, also began to encourage slave hunting, almost every month can transport a large number of slaves, this half a year adds up to only a lot more than the slaves on the northern grassland, although these slaves seem to be many, but the consumption on the mine is also large, according to the statistics of our Coal Association, hundreds of slaves die every month, the cause of death is about eighty percent, and the other two percent are not only tired, but also abused by the overseer to death. ”

Wang Zihao said with a sad face, although the slaves from the grassland and Silla continued to be transported, but for the mines, it was still not enough, which led to the underoperation of each mine, which greatly affected the production of coal. But now hundreds of slaves are dying every month, which is a great waste!

"Zihao, what do you mean?" Li Ke, who was sitting at the top, opened his mouth and asked, because Li Ke was not there, so he usually recruited everyone, and there were also many industries such as coal and glass in his house.

"Your Highness, if you want to completely solve the problem of lack of people, you must start from two aspects!" Wang Zihao's release caused a commotion below, and there was a shortage of people in every mine, so whenever Li Su or Cheng Fu and others arrived to transport slaves, they would cause everyone present to fight, in order to grab more slaves.

Wang Zihao patiently waited for everyone to calm down, and then continued: "In fact, to solve the problem of lack of people, it is nothing more than to open source and reduce expenditure, open source is a bit complicated, let's wait a while, but throttling is very simple, it is nothing more than reducing the mortality rate of slaves, which can be seen from the cause of death of slaves, most of the slaves died of disease, so in fact, we only need to keep these slaves hygienic, improve their food, and at the same time with a doctor, these measures do not add up to much cost." , and think about the slaves who die every month, although their lives are not worth much, but they add up to a lot of money! ”

"Zihao is right, in fact, the steward of our house has already discovered this problem, and now he is already improving the living conditions of slaves, after all, compared with the cost of buying slaves, although it is more troublesome to do this, it is still very cost-effective." Li Jingheng immediately jumped out and agreed, although his father Li Daozong is a military general, he loves money like his life, even if he has countless properties under his name, he has always been known for being meticulous and calculating. What kind of master has naturally what kind of stewardship, so the stewards of Jiangxia Wangfu are all fine people, and after finding that it is not cost-effective to let the slaves die, they immediately made improvements.

"Well, yes, although it is not a matter of dying a slave, everyone is a Sven, and being generous to slaves can also show everyone's benevolence, and since Jiangxia Wangfu has experience in this area, then simply let Jiangxia Wangfu take the lead and help everyone improve the situation in the mine." As the convener, Li Su immediately opened his mouth to respond, and the others did not object, after all, this matter was beneficial to him, and the trouble was a little troublesome, but anyway, there were stewards and subordinates to do it, and they only had to move their mouths.

"Okay, since everyone agrees on the matter of throttling, then let's talk about open source, now the source of slaves is mainly from the grassland and Silla, and I have obtained the consent of several national governments in the grassland, starting from the second half of the year, let go of the source of slaves on the grassland, and allow merchants from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty to enter the grassland to trade slaves, if everyone here is interested, you can also send people to participate in it, but you must follow the rules set by several national governments." Wang Zihao said with a smile, and at the same time turned his eyes to Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye.

"That's right, my dad and a few uncles and uncles agreed to this!" Cheng Huailiang immediately stood up and said. In the past, several of their national governments controlled the trade of grassland slaves and made enough money in the first half of the year, but some time ago, Wang Zihao went to visit his father Cheng Biting Jin, and used a greater benefit to impress a few of their old guys, and they actually spit out the golden trade route.
