Chapter 115: The Crossing Youth is also short of money
Uncle Li looked stunned, raised his finger and pointed at me, the boss with his mouth open, and only after a long time did he say, "What are you talking about?!" ”
"Little nephew, poor! ......" looked sad, his expression was also sad, and he trembled and untied the money bag from his waist, and counted the copper plates on the table one by one. Uncle Li's face was black, his eyes were very good, and it seemed that he was a little smoky.
When Uncle Li saw my appearance, he raised his hand, twisted and put it down, laughed angrily, and the corners of his mouth trembled a little: "Okay, I have the ability, the old man has seen it for the first time, and someone dares to cry poor in front of the old man." Tell me, what are you doing poorly? ”
"Of course I'm poor, my little nephew is an adult, but what can my little nephew do now? I didn't do anything, I have to rely on my parents at home to support me, and from time to time I ask my father and mother for pocket money, don't say that I am ashamed and embarrassed, and the listener is afraid that I will laugh off my big teeth, uncle, do you think the little nephew is not poor? ”
These words, your Uncle Li is speechless, uh-huh, we need this effect, boom, I drank a glass of wine, wiped it on the corner of my eyes, put down the wine glass very heavily, and looked at the palace maid not far away, this girl is not bad, but it is not as good as the palace maid sister in our family.
"Alas......" sighed, raised his sleeves to cover up his tears, lest Uncle Li see the flaw: "How can the little nephew He De win the favor of the princess, and now I think about it, I am really ashamed." The little nephew can't be in peace, and the country can't be determined, if he marries the princess, how can the little nephew make ends meet to support the family......"
What does Uncle Li mean, his eyes are narrowed, and the corners of his mouth are very meaningful, isn't this son pretending to be sad enough? Well, a little more sensational: "The little nephew also wants the princess to have a good life, eat delicious food, drink good wine, and wear beautiful clothes, but ......" very sadly raised his finger and pointed to the thirty-one coins on the table: "It's difficult! ”?? What does Uncle Li mean, rolling his eyes and blushing and twisting to the side, what are you doing?
After a while, Uncle Li calmed down as if his asthma had relapsed, and then he turned around and stared at me strangely. "What does the virtuous nephew mean? You might as well say it and let the old man refer to it. Maybe I can give some advice to my nephew, even if I want to borrow money from the old man, it's okay. ”
"No, no, no! How could the little nephew let his uncle break the family's wealth...... "His head shook fast, he wanted your money, my son, as a traverser, couldn't even support himself, twisted his face and married a wife, and asked his father-in-law to post money?" Not to mention that other traversers will laugh off their big teeth, I'm afraid that I'm embarrassed to stick my head out of the hole in the ground, which is too embarrassing for our excellent traversal youth.
"Oh? What is the purpose of the virtuous nephew? Uncle Li took a sip of wine and squeezed over to get some of it, eager to hear what Ben Gongzi thought.
"Uncle, your life isn't easy, is it? The family is big, the business is big. "Well, it seems that Uncle Li is a little interested, and if you check it again, maybe this thing can be done.
"This ......" Uncle Li looked at the ceiling for a long time, swallowed his saliva with a little difficulty, glanced at Ben Gongzi with a sincere face, and said a little uncertainly: "It should be, it should be." ”
"Little nephew, hehe, little nephew thinks, if the uncle is also in difficulty, the little nephew is willing to give advice to the uncle, not only to make a fortune, but also to add color to the country, for the development of my Datang's economic undertakings, to fight against the economy of the surrounding hostile countries to play a huge role, and to enrich the people of Datang...... "Hurry up and play a trick, let Uncle Li take the bait, just do it."
"The virtuous nephew will blow it later, well, stop first, what do you want to say to the old man?" Uncle Li hurriedly interrupted my advertising words, and his eyes were full of light.
"The little nephew wants to ......" What do you say, forget it, let's be honest: "I want to do some small business with my uncle in private." ”
"What?!" Uncle Li's voice changed a little, and his gaze was very much. hurriedly added: "Of course, the little nephew has a lot of money, and the little nephew will contribute to Datang's charity." "At a critical juncture, it is very difficult to snatch food from Uncle Li, but as long as it can succeed, then it will be a great profit. Besides, when my son was stupid, he could make money, what Zizhen looked at the pen, horseshoe, papermaking, movable type printing, and saber, all of them were sent to Uncle Li without pulling the ground, and he left a bunch of very magical garbage cement, lime or something that could not be seen or eaten, this is really a big failure, if I don't get some money back, I am afraid that this young man will die without looking at it. As the saying goes, what do you have to scrape all over your body, dare to pull the emperor off the horse, besides, we are not here to fight with Uncle Li, but to start a business with Uncle Li and seek common development.
"Charity?" Uncle Lee was intrigued by the new name, winked and seemed eager for an explanation.
"Philanthropy, as the name suggests, is a general term for charity and relief activities organized by private individuals or social groups for disaster victims, the poor and other people in difficulty based on the concepts of compassion, compassion and assistance...... If a certain place is hit by a disaster, Uncle can take a part of the proceeds and rescue the people in your own name to the people in the water and fire......" painted a wonderful picture in Uncle Li's mind, peeked at Uncle Li, and sure enough, Uncle Li's eyes lit up a little, who is not good for a reputation when he is an emperor, hehehe.
"Wait for the old man to think about it......" Uncle Li raised his hand to stop my words, and started again, alas, why does Uncle Li like to play this trick in front of me, sit with his eyes closed, and don't know what to mutter? Are you calculating how many of your own family resources you have?
It's boring, sipping wine, eating a piece of food, looking east and west, I don't know how much wine I have drunk, and my head is a little dizzy. Only then did Uncle Li speak: "Since the virtuous nephew has talked about this, the old man should not, and it is very ...... Tell me, how much money do you need from the old man? ”
It's done! Hahaha, great, the smile on his face was a little excessive, so he quickly lowered his expression and shook his head very seriously: "Uncle doesn't have to pay money, you can account for 20% of the dry shares." ”
"Oh?" Uncle Li picked the corners of his eyes, looked at me as if he had known me on the first day, and said with a deep groan: "Tell the old man what business to do first?" ”
"Papermaking, printing! By the way, the little nephew provided a large amount of lime for free for my Datang Ministry of Industry Paper Mill, "What do you mean a large amount?" You know? Hey, hey, let's deliberately keep the language disease, your Uncle Li is the emperor, so he won't care about the quantity, right?
“?” Uncle Li blinked, his expression was confused: "Oh? Why? ”
"The little nephew is thinking, since my Datang wants to carry out spiritual and cultural aggression against the surrounding hostile countries, such as the Tibetan transportation of monks, but our current printing technology is very difficult to drive out a large number of Buddhist and Taoist classics and hundreds of schools within a certain period of time, the little nephew thinks, the state authorizes, let the little nephew and uncle jointly run the workshop to pick up a small part of the printing to do...... "I don't know anything else, can I still be a teacher who doesn't know how to make prints and find money?" A few words are printed on a few pieces of broken paper, sold expensively, there is no copyright in ancient times, what you want to print, what you want to print, you can sell it, there are more people reading in the Tang Dynasty, the books in the past are Cai Hou paper, in fact, it is made by the predecessor of rice paper, it is expensive, ordinary people often hesitate to buy a book, not to mention the poor, like some schools, the book is its most valuable treasure, we have a preference for the goods, not only to get the affection of the majority of readers in the Tang Dynasty, We can also take this opportunity to improve the literacy rate of the people in Datang as a whole.
"Unexpectedly, the virtuous nephew actually hit the old man with the idea, hahaha......" Uncle Li smiled very heartily, no malicious laughter, his eyes and expressions were very kind, it seems that this matter is not far away.
Uncle Li took a sip of wine, and the smile on his face was undiminished: "Actually, the virtuous nephew is not unreasonable, this thing was originally created by the virtuous nephew, this kind of business, for the sake of the world's scholars, the old man would rather bear some notoriety, and he must do it!" ”
"Good! Uncle Gao Yi, the little nephew is so ashamed that he has no place to be self-conscious...... "The face is really thick-skinned, I want money, and I want fame, how good it is now, this thing is fame and fortune, Uncle Li, who likes fame the most, will not do it anymore, I am afraid that I will have to smoke myself."
"If the old man gives out money and goods, how much should it be calculated?" Uncle Li smiled, well, there is the demeanor of Brother Li Ke when he calculates others, and the back of this son who saw it was a little cold, smiled dryly, touched his chin and estimated: "This ...... I'm afraid it depends on what proportion of my uncle's contribution can be made,"
"What is the nephew's own possession?" This question is very lethal, and the harmful Lao Tzu rolled his eyes for a long time, that's money, it's too little, I'm unwilling, I say too much, I'm afraid that Uncle Li will whip me, it's really embarrassing.
"The little nephew wants to start a family, of course, I can't afford to have more little nephews......" We answered very modestly, and kicked the ball back to Uncle Li very levelly, do you give less? Your daughter is not having a good time, I'm afraid you will be uncomfortable to look at, hehe, who let me be your future son-in-law, the most distressed daughter will fall into my hands sooner or later. Waha...... "The paper and printing techniques are all created by the virtuous nephew, it's just that, the old man doesn't care, this matter, the virtuous nephew himself looks at it." The old man will take a look, but if you want to make the name of the old man......"
"Uncle, don't worry, the little nephew is an upright person and never does those crooked things." Hurry up and pat your chest to make a guarantee.
"Well......" Uncle Li nodded his head and squeezed his eyes at me: "The old man just wants to see how capable the virtuous nephew can be, and see if you can let my daughter live a comfortable life, if so...... Hey, hey, hey. "Smile at me with his white teeth bared, clearly threatening. Damn, old stuff!
Leveled Uncle Li, his walking feet were a little floating, and he felt like walking in the clouds. I wanted to take a look at Li Shu's girl, but we didn't dare to run around in the palace, and Zhao Kun, the head of the bodyguard, was the kind of master who couldn't let out a fart even if he beat a stuffy stick, forget it, anyway, it's okay not to see him now, come to think of it, the life-and-death struggle between Uncle Li and Uncle Cheng is about to be decided.
Thinking about it, how to revitalize this business, Uncle Li and we have thrown off the big words, this son is also a poor person who is about to be pants, it seems that he has to find some people to work together. Li Ke, well, it is very necessary for this benevolent brother to be brought in, Li Zhi, I don't know if this stinky kid has any money, but when I talk back, tying the future emperor to our commercial chariot will be of great help to my safety.
"Second Young Master, where are you going?" Who called me? Twisting his head, a housekeeper panted and chased after the horse, and quickly stopped the horse's head: "What's wrong?" Something at home? ”
"No, the little one just wants to ask the young master why he crossed the house and didn't come back?"
As soon as he raised his eyes, the gate of the house was more than 100 meters behind him, and it seemed that my son was almost crazy when he thought about the problem.
"Why did the emperor call you there today? Why are you so listless. "After entering the mansion gate, I didn't walk a few steps when I saw my mother coming to me, took my hand and asked.
His Majesty asked the child some difficult questions about papermaking, and the child answered them in detail, so that he returned home a little late. Has my mother eaten? He asked as he walked towards the front hall with his mother.
"Well, after eating, I will keep a portion of the food and rice for you, so let's use it quickly."
-------------------------------------------------- quickly filled his stomach, stubbed full, and coughed dryly: "Father, mother, the child has made a big deal today." ”
"Big deal?" The old man glanced at me, and indeed I didn't mean to turn my eyes to my mother, and the two old men quickly exchanged words, and looked at me together, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law were also very curious.
"Yes, the child said today, I have discussed it with the emperor's uncle and will do business together."
"Hiss......" family even [***]? One and two leaned back in a gasp-in shape, their eyes shocked.
"Jun'er, what are you talking about? Do you make a deal with Your Majesty? "The old man's beard was shaking, and so were the fingers pointing at me.
"It's not a transaction, it's a business, the child and His Majesty are in partnership with each other, doing the paper and printing business." Slowly said it word by word.
"Your Majesty agreed?" It's the first time I've seen the old man's eyes open so wide. It seems that this news shocked him a lot.
Scratching my head, the old man's extremely shocked appearance also made me dare not miss the facts, so I quickly recalled, and after making sure that I was not dreaming or something, I nodded my head affirmatively: "Hmm." ”
"Quickly tell the old man the cause and effect of this matter one by one." The old man spoke quickly and quickly, very excited, and his calm appearance of maintaining his demeanor was also a little out of shape.
From the beginning of seeing Uncle Li to my son's inspiration, of course, we don't dare to say anything about taking out the money bag in front of Uncle Li, it's too embarrassing. confessed to the old man before and after.
The old man frowned, with a very confused expression, my mother's gaze never left my father, but the eldest brother patted me on the shoulder, and said in a voice so low that only me and him could hear: "Second brother, it's really ...... Zhennai, alas, I really don't know whether to praise you or scold you. ”
"Huh?" Blinking, looking at the eldest brother with a very confused gaze, what's the matter, we haven't done anything illegal and undisciplined, besides, Uncle Li is the emperor, and he wants to evade taxes, thinking, uh-huh, in short, a cow who wishes to come true, if he doesn't find such a person to partner, is it difficult for this son to find a poor person to ask for food, or a disabled person who has no power to join forces to do business?
"If you make such a fuss, the old man will definitely pick your skin!" was confused, and the old man came to say this viciously.
Let me stare at the old man with a flurry of words, I don't quite understand, are we going to do something to ruin the door?
