"What's the story?"

Chai Shirong was curious when he heard this.

The treasure bottle admired Jiang Long very much, and last night, Jiang Long hugged her in his arms because he was nervous about her.

Feeling Jiang Long's concern, her heart was unusually sweet, and her smile has not been broken since she got up this morning.

For this, it also provoked Yuchai to eat a lot of flying vinegar.

Hearing Chai Shirong's question, the vase couldn't wait to speak quickly.

first told the story of the gray wolf and the pleasant goat in two sections, and then talked about the journey to the west.

Although Chai Shirong has read some story books and miscellaneous notes before, he really hears such a novel story every time.

The wolf and the sheep can talk like people, and they also have a very pleasing personality, which makes people like it immediately after hearing it.

As for the legend of Journey to the West, Chai Shirong heard half of it, but the treasure bottle stopped, and he couldn't help urging repeatedly, "Treasure bottle girl, you continue to speak!" ”

"yes, hurry up."

"Did the stone monkey learn to somersault?"

"Don't call it a stone monkey, someone's master has a name, it's Sun Wukong."

Not only was Chai Shirong addicted to listening, but even the generals and Hong Tiezhu who were sitting at the other table had already listened with their ears pricked up, and they also spoke one after another.

Unexpectedly, the treasure bottle was spread out with small hands, and there was a quirky smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's gone." ”

"What? Gone? ”

Chai Shirong moved his gaze to Jiang Long, and said in surprise: "Could it be that this story is really made up by the virtuous brother?" ”

"Of course!" Seeing that Chai Shirong was actually suspicious of Jiang Long, the treasure bottle couldn't help but pout, "Of course it was written by the little young master, at that time, we stood next to us and served, serving tea and pouring water, spreading paper and grinding ink, and looked straight at it."

How about it, with these stories written by my little master, you say that building a printing factory, can you make money? ”

Chai Shirong slapped his palms vigorously, and there seemed to be gold ingots flashing in his eyes, "Yes, you can make money too much!" After that, he stretched out his right arm and hugged Jiang Long's neck tightly, and asked with a sincere look, "Are we brothers?" ”

"Yes."

"Isn't it a brother?" Chai Shirong added force to his arm.

"It's not."

"you!" Chai Shirong slapped Jiang Long on the shoulder, and then said: "I don't care, anyway, I must take a few percent of the printing house." ”

"My brother settles the accounts, so let's talk about how much money you can invest." Jiang Long chuckled.

In the early stage of building a factory, it is natural to invest first, and then take a share according to the proportion of investment.

"This ......" Chai Shirong was embarrassed, to be honest, he really didn't have much money on hand.

However, a guard from the Chengguo Mansion stepped forward quickly, leaned over and whispered a word.

Chai Shirong's eyes lit up, "Although I don't have much money, I have a printing house in my family's name." ”

Daqi has laws and regulations, and officials and nobles are not allowed to do business.

But there are policies and countermeasures.

He doesn't do business himself, but he can let his henchmen do business, open restaurants, open shops, etc. to collect money for himself.

Wealthy families pay attention to everything to put on a show, do red and white things, who has something to do with them, invite friends to enter and leave the Qinglou restaurant on weekdays, if it is an incumbent official, every festival, but also to give gifts to honor the official, which of these does not require a large amount of money?

Because almost all officials are doing this, everyone is tacit.

Unless there is an unlucky ghost who happens to be caught by those upright, stinky and hard temperament imperial historians, and is accused in front of the emperor, otherwise even the emperor will turn a blind eye to this kind of thing in private.

"You're trying to get me to work with your family's printing house?"

Jiang Long took a sip from the teacup and asked.

"yes, isn't that right? You don't have to go to build a factory anymore, you can directly take the story manuscript to my family's printing factory and start making money immediately. Chai Shirong seemed to have seen the golden ingots flying towards him.

But Jiang Long shook his head, "It's okay to cooperate with you, but I don't cooperate with your mansion." ”

"Huh?" Chai Shirong was stunned.

"It's still the same sentence, brother, settle the account, what should be said, let's make it clear in advance. If I work with your government, do I have a say in the printing house, do I have the right to make decisions? ”

Chai Shirong thought about it and shook his head gently, "You take out the story, we will be responsible for printing, at most, according to the number of books sold, and give you some dividends at that time, but the printing house is still mine." ”

"Then if I build my own factory, won't all the money I earn be mine?" Jiang Long squinted and smiled.

Chai Shirong frowned and was silent for a while.

After he thought for a while, Jiang Long opened his mouth again, "The two of us are brothers, I have a way to make money on hand, I don't mind pulling you along, everyone can earn money together!" But pulling you doesn't mean that you have to cooperate with your government, and if I cooperate with your government, how much benefit will you get from it yourself? ”

The Chengguo Mansion is not like the Jing Mansion, there is only one male in Jianglong, and Jianglong is the only heir.

At that time, he cooperated with the printing factory in the Chengguo Mansion and made a lot of money, Chai Shirong may be praised by the Chengguo Gong, and his status in the mansion will be slightly improved, but the real benefits will not be too much.

In fact, Chai Shirong is among the younger generation in the Chengguo Mansion, his ability can only be regarded as average, not outstanding, and he is not the eldest grandson, so Chengguo Gong does not pay attention to him at all now.

Chai Shirong said that he might have the opportunity to serve in the frontier and kill the enemy in the future, but in fact, he knew in his heart that this possibility was very small.

The only one who can really serve in the army on behalf of the Chengguo Mansion is the uncle who will inherit the Chengguo Duke in the future.

The rest of the Fuzhong disciples are not saying that they don't have a chance, but they must first be his uncle's personal soldiers, and then make military exploits on the battlefield before they can get ahead in the army.

Moreover, it is impossible to produce two princes or marquis in one mansion, so even if the other children in the mansion are capable and talented, they can only be the uncle who assists him in the end.

You may be able to become a high-ranking general, but it is almost impossible to be knighted again.

"What do you mean?"

Chai Shirong is not a fool, after Jiang Long's suggestion, his mind is alive.

And when I think of a few brothers in the house, there is a haode to make a living, where do you think of the house? even directly uses the resources of the government to make money by himself, but he will never hand it over to the government.

"I wonder if Brother Chai is sure to get the management of that printing house?" Jiang Long asked.

"Well, I guess there should be no problem."

Chai Shirong thought for a while and replied: "There are many printing factories in the capital, and the business is not easy to do, the main printing is the four books and five classics, the subset of classics and history, poems and songs, and other books that scholars need to use.

But even so, after a month, it can only have a few dozen taels of income.

In my family, the printing press is not a popular business, and if I want to reach out and take over, I don't think anyone will object to it. ”

"Good!" Jiang Long just said: "When you take over the printing house, we will sign a contract to cooperate." ”

"But the printing house is different, is it still mine?" Chai Shirong was puzzled.

"Although it is still from your house, will you not listen to my opinion? Isn't it the same as having the right to govern? And as long as we do something about the contract, even if the printing house makes a lot of money, your brothers will not be able to get involved. ”

Jiang Long smiled and roughly explained a few words to Chai Shirong.

Coming from modern times, isn't it easy for him to dig some small traps in the contract, that is, the contract?

Chai Shirong's eyes lit up when he heard this.

If you do what Jiang Long said, his future income will be considerable.

"Just listen to Brother Jiang Long!"

After the two discussed the matter, everyone drank happily.

At this time, Hong Tiezhu, the drunkard, had already drunk most of the golden wine, and he was still shouting that it was really delicious.

Chai Shirong hurriedly snatched the wine jar and scooped a cup with a copper spoon for Jiang Long, Lin Ya, as well as the treasure bottle and the jade hairpin.

"This golden wine is a warm wine, so the virtuous brother can drink a glass." Chai Shirong explained.

Jiang Long smelled the aroma of wine, and he was also a little greedy, and when he heard the words, he picked up the wine glass in front of him.

I saw that the golden wine was golden yellow, and when I took a sip, there was no spicy taste, it was mellow and cold, and it was not until I entered the stomach that a warm feeling rose in the stomach and intestines.

"Well, that's good." Jiang Long nodded.

Chai Shirong smiled when he heard this, and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, "It's good, it's good, but this wine is too little." ”

"Yes, yes, why don't we discuss with the owner of the restaurant, or give us more money and let them sell us a few more jars?" Hong Tiezhu shouted loudly.

"Forget it, aren't there any other wines?"

Jiang Long shook his head slightly.

Chai Shirong also said: "The rules for selling gold wine in limited quantities in the Golden Building have been formulated for more than ten years, and no one has been able to break it until now. ”

Hong Tiezhu muttered a few words in a low voice and continued to drink.

After the first few glasses of wine, He Huan, Zuo Laifeng and others gradually let go and began to enforce the drinking order.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of excitement.

Two jars of wine are definitely not enough for so many people to drink, and Chai Shirong asked Xiao Er to bring up more than a dozen jars of other wines of good quality.

Everyone was eating and chatting, and the relationship was quickly closer, but at this time, a Jingfu guard suddenly hurriedly walked up to the second floor.

"The little one has seen the little master, the young lady!" The Jingfu guard bowed down on one knee.

Jiang Long gave him a hand, let him get up, and when he recognized that he was at the edge of the farm before, he asked this guard to come to the county seat to look for people's teeth, so that Lin Ya could choose a few henchmen.

"Can you find a human tooth?"

"Yes, the little one was originally going to bring Renyazi back to the farm, but when he saw the carriage in our house on the street, he came over to ask a few companions who were guarding the carriage, and knew that the little master and the young lady were in this restaurant, so he brought Renyazi directly." The Jingfu guard replied respectfully.

"Ya'er." Jiang Long looked at Lin Ya with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.

Lin Ya thought about it, and saw that the second floor of the restaurant was relatively empty at this time, and there were fewer guests, so she said: "It's better to let Yazi bring all the girls brought, and I'll pick a few suitable ones here at random." ”

"It's fine." Jiang Long nodded.

The Jingfu guards immediately turned around and went down, and after a while, they led a group of people up to the second floor.

After Lin Ya nodded to Jiang Long, she got up and sat down at the most remote wine table, so as not to disturb everyone drinking.

The treasure bottle and the jade hairpin wanted to follow the past to see the excitement, but they were stopped by Jiang Long.

"Greetings to Madame, little one."

Ren Yazi is a mother-in-law who is over the age of six, her body is dry and thin, but her hands and feet are nimble, and her spirit is also very good, knowing that Lin Ya's identity is noble, so she directly knelt down in front of Lin Ya.

Lin Ya stretched out her hand, her voice was warm and flat, but it was not majestic, "You don't have to be so polite, get up." ”
