Volume 2 Chapter 235 Chang'an is noisy again!

When the Chishuiyuan War was about to break out, Chang'an City also received the news that Xiao Yu sent back.

Regarding Li Chengqian's remarks, everyone was speechless.

But there was no opposition.

Even Fang Xuanling, who was a servant of the court, pinched his nose and recognized it.

That's politics.

With the popularity of the paper of the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, all of them saw the hope of cultural and educational revival.

That's how you got it.

Besides, if you really want to be reasonable, people are right.

Where in the world is there a dowry to send three daughters, not to mention that this is still a marriage between two countries, and people's demands are reasonable.

As for why the scholars didn't object, hehe, where do they have time to take care of this now?

The caravans of the various families have already gone to the Ming Dynasty again.

More paper will soon sweep the Tang Dynasty.

The whole of their heirlooms will be gouged out by someone wielding a hoe, who cares about this?

Besides, they also arranged for people to go to Sun Moon Mountain.

At this point, since there is no way to stop the popularity of such cheap paper, their only option is to make the most of it.

Man, that's it.

And it was at this time that Changming Restaurant opened.

Since Wang Dequan walked the Sun Moon Mountain once, it seems that he has learned the scriptures, and his whole temperament has sublimated a lot.

Today's Wang Dequan, that is called a spring breeze proud.

On the day of the restaurant's opening, it attracted countless people.

For example, Wei Chi Jingde.

For example, Qin Qiong.

Another example is Kong Yingda.

No way, although they haven't seen the Changming Restaurant in Sun Moon Mountain, they have always heard the words of the people who come back from home.

In this Tang Dynasty, where everything can be cooked, stir-fried vegetables have naturally become a rarity.

Rare things have always aroused everyone's curiosity, and this is Li Chengqian's industry.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the opening of Changming Restaurant detonated the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come inside." Seeing the arrival of so many big people, although Wang Dequan was nervous, he was more excited, Shi Li said, "Today's small store opens, you should consume, and you will get a 5% discount." ”

"Is it desirable to get a 50% discount?" Hearing a new word, Qin Qiong asked.

He has never been in good health, and he rarely goes out.

Today, Changming Restaurant opened, and he can come to cheer, it is definitely a rare customer among rare customers.

Wang Dequan immediately explained.

These are also the scriptures he took from Sun Moon Mountain.

After hearing what it meant, Wei Chi Jingde waved his hand and said, "Today, the old man has a treat, no discount!" ”

He made a lot of money in the paper business.

Now that he is also arrogant.

"Then thank you Wu Guogong." Wang Dequan said immediately.

With that, the group entered the restaurant.

Different from the traditional restaurant in Chang'an, the Changming restaurant uses tables and chairs produced in Sun Moon Mountain, not a low step, which makes everyone feel refreshing at a glance.

"What are these?" Kong Yingda replied.

Wang Dequan explained with a smile: "Tables and chairs, my Royal Highness thinks that the design of the low table is not very friendly to the elderly, so he specially designed this kind of table and chair. ”

He is now not only the shopkeeper of the Changming Commercial Bank, but also the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and he is just short of an official letter of state.

Of course, there is no national certificate, and Li Er also pinched his nose and admitted it.

What Li Chengqian thinks, everyone knows that the identity of an envoy is just to protect Wang Dequan, so that those people of the Shi clan will not target him.

When I came to the second floor, there were a lot of private rooms, and Yu Chi Jingde looked left and right, and pointed to a private room and said with a smile: "Fierce general, defend the country with bravery."

The private room in your restaurant is a little interesting, and it is the first time I have seen such a long name. In the name of the warrior, the old man should sit! ”

Kong Yingda smiled, looked at the other, and said, "Celebrities, prosper with virtue."

I'm sorry, Wu Guogong, although the lower officials don't dare to pretend to be celebrities, but this kind of box must be sitting. ”

"Go to Hugh, go Hugh." Wei Chi Jingde waved his hand indifferently.

They had met on the road, and who wanted to sit with a bunch of old pedants? Drinking is not enjoyable.

Wang Dequan looked at this scene and didn't say anything.

This was deliberately arranged, but I was afraid that these old guys would target which private room and rob it madly, and when the time came, he would smash the store, and he would have nowhere to reason.

But Kong Yingda was not in a hurry to enter the private room, but looked at the one in the middle of the two private rooms and said, "Why is this private room nameless?" ”

When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, he also stopped curiously.

"Famous." Wang Dequan said with a smile, "It's just that this name can only be understood, not spoken." ”

Everyone is a smart person, and they understand it right away.

No one asked any more questions, and they all entered their respective private rooms and sat down.

Wang Dequan didn't follow up, where did he go, no one was together, what kind of food to order?

The big guys are too late.

Of course, except for Wei Chi Jingde, he doesn't pay attention to these.

Besides, today is the east of him, so it makes sense to come earlier.

Over time.

More and more people are coming.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling are not left behind.

Li Jing, Hou Junji and others also gathered together.

Here's where it gets interesting.

It stands to reason that it is difficult for Li Jing and Hou Junji, the master and apprentice, to get together because of some things in their early years, but today, it makes everyone put aside their past grievances for the time being.

Not long after, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, the princes of the clan, also came.

No matter who they are, they will stop twice before entering the private room.

Once on the first floor, curious about the new tables and chairs.

The second time was on the second floor, where I commented on the names of the two private rooms.

Especially Wei Zheng, looking at the six words 'celebrity and gentleman, prospering the country with virtue' on the private room, he stopped for a long time.

Just as Wang Dequan was about to arrange for someone to go in and order, Li Er and Empress Changsun also walked in with a group of princes and princesses.

If it weren't for the personal soldiers who protected Li Er to find Wang Dequan, he really didn't know Li Er.

This time it made him a little nervous.

In the face of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he can still deal with it, but in the face of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it would be nonsense to say that he was not nervous.

Nervously going downstairs, and when he was about to give a salute, Li Er waved his hand and said, "I'm bringing my child to cheer today." ”

Judging from this point alone, Wang Dequan was still stunned.

When Li Er chose the white dragon fish suit, anyone who knew the inside story knew what to do.

"Distinguished guest on the second floor, please." Wang Dequan immediately led the person to the second floor.

For the tables and chairs on the first floor, Li Er took a second look, but there was no reaction.

A few little princesses were curious about these.

When he arrived on the second floor, Li Er naturally saw the two most conspicuous private rooms.

"That's good.

Fierce generals, defend the country with bravery.

Celebrities, to virtue to prosper the country.

It looks like two couplets, I don't know who made it? ”

Facing Li Er's inquiry, Wang Dequan hurriedly said: "This, from Sun Moon Mountain......"

As soon as he heard what he said, Li Er understood, looked at the nameless private room in the middle, and immediately pushed the door in.

How clever is he?

The civil and military are divided on the left and right, and this must be prepared for him.

Otherwise, who else would dare to sit in this whole world?

As soon as he entered the private room, Li Er nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Although the private room is exquisite, I always feel that something is missing. ”

At this moment, Wang Dequan also came back to his senses, and when he heard Li Er say this, he immediately smiled and said, "Your Excellency sit down for a while." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went out of the house, and went to the two private rooms next door to communicate.

Soon, the two walls connected by the three private rooms next door were opened like doors.

The private room, which was originally small, suddenly became open.

This scene made everyone stunned.

However, for them, they don't mind much.

In the private room in the middle, no one dared to sit except for Li Erlai, but when Li Er came, everyone couldn't wait to gather together.

Therefore, this design is deeply popular!

Li Er didn't expect that he could still be like this, so he immediately nodded with satisfaction and said, "This design has won my heart." ”

Wang Dequan smiled and didn't dare to answer.

In the face of these guys, to say that you are not nervous is to deceive yourself.

"The Lord (this is not clearly verified, I found some information, and there is no clear statement, forgive me) This table is a good thing." Wei Chi Jingde said with a smile, "In the past, we used to have a separate meal system, although there are many benefits, but when you drink wine, if you want to toast, you have to run all over the house, and it is not as convenient as this table." ”

In private, they call Li Er the Lord, and Li Er will not call himself me.

People like Wei Chi Jingde, who love wine, this big round table, it really makes him quite satisfied.

"Not only this round table, but also this chair." Qin Qiong said, "The old man loves him so much! ”

He was not in good health, and it was difficult to stand up after sitting down on the futon in the past, especially after sitting for a long time.

On the other side, Gao Cheng also said: "It is true that the split meal system has the benefits of a split meal system, but this round table also has the advantage of a round table, that is, this dish is not very friendly to an old man like me." ”

The distinguished guest laughed. Hearing this, Wang Dequan immediately said, "This round table in this store is unique. ”

"What's the matter?" Someone immediately asked, "Isn't this round table still able to deliver delicacies to your eyes?" ”

Wang Dequan smiled and said: "That's right, the round table in our store can be rotated, you may wish to turn it lightly with your hands?" ”

As soon as he heard what he said, some people tried it curiously, and it was really so, which made everyone feel good.

Especially those little princesses and little princes, turning the round table, were very happy.

Li Er didn't care.

It was the first time he had eaten at the same table with his children, and he always felt a little more warm.

"Lord, then, it's time to serve, right?" Wei Chi Jingde urged.

He was already hungry, and if he hadn't waited for these people, he would have been full of food and drink by now.

When Li Er heard this, he smiled and said, "Today is your treat, and we are naturally a guest." ”

When he said this, everyone laughed.

This guy, who made a lot of money before, after a bad breath, don't brag about it, after the opening of Changming Restaurant, he will definitely invite everyone, which is why everyone has today's trip.

As for Li Er's autumn breeze against his own courtiers, this is actually normal.

There have been dynasties and dynasties.

This is also a means for the emperor to win people's hearts.

Ordinary people don't have this way to invite the emperor to dinner.

When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, he also laughed and said: "It's okay, the shopkeeper, serve the food, according to the most expensive in your store." ”

Does he care about money?

Looking at the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that he doesn't take this seriously.

Of course, it's not that people are stupid, people are shrewd.

Wang Dequan immediately responded to the arrangement, and in a short time, a variety of exquisite dishes were served.

Wei Zheng, as the only person among the people who had seen this, also smiled at the moment: "You say, why didn't we expect that this dish could be made like this?" ”

Is it hard to stir-fry?

In the eyes of these people, stir-frying is really not difficult.

But no one thought of doing that.

There is also this table and chair, except that the round table will turn and they don't know the principle for the time being, is it difficult to do anything else?

It's just a few wooden shelves, where does the word difficult come from?

But no one does!

His question caused deep thought at their table.

As for Wei Chi Jingde's group of generals, who cares about this at this time? Eating food and drinking wine is the right way to open it.

"Shopkeeper, when I see that you want to speak, you stop, but what do you say?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Wang Dequan thought for a while and said: "In the past, when I was in the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Lao'er also had the same doubts as all the distinguished guests, and also asked others.

At that time, someone told me that King Ming once said that our thinking is solidified, our class is solidified, many things are caused by habits, and no one is willing to make changes.

What exactly does it mean, Xiao Lao'er also knows a little bit about it, but Xiao Lao'er always feels that there is a slight change, and it is a change in a good direction, which is a fortunate thing after all. ”

When he returned to Chang'an, in addition to supervising the price of paper in the world, there was another thing that Li Chengqian gave him.

However, at that time, Li Chengqian said that he could do this thing if he could, and if he couldn't do it, he would forget it, and he would not force it.

But now, he saw an opportunity, so he naturally wanted to prepare.

Li Er was still cooking vegetables for a few children with Empress Changsun, but when he heard Wang Dequan say this, he put down his chopsticks and asked: "The shopkeeper's words are reasonable, being content with the status quo and unwilling to change is a problem that has existed since ancient times."

I wonder what the shopkeeper thinks about this? ”

Of course, he didn't ask Wang Dequan what he thought, but wanted to hear Li Chengqian's opinion from Wang Dequan's mouth.

For this eldest son, he is becoming more and more satisfied.

Putting him outside really played a role in training.

Xiao Lao'er didn't dare to say anything, but when he was in the Ming Dynasty, I heard that the Ming King was encouraging everyone to innovate, whether it was farming, or military, whether it was a herdsman or a businessman, they could participate.

These tables and chairs are the result of the craftsmanship's innovation.

What do you think?

This table has a name and a surname in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Gradually, Wang Dequan also adapted to this atmosphere, and he talked eloquently.

Of course, he is the only one who is qualified to wait in this private room in the entire Changming Restaurant.

"Well, I don't know what to say?" Gao Cheng asked.

Wang Dequan smiled: "This round table, called the reunion table, means a family, reunion." Nowadays, in the Ming Dynasty, it is almost a must-have thing for every household. ”

Hearing this name, everyone nodded, indeed.

This table deserves the name, and it's not bad.

In a big family, the family affection is already thin, and there are many rules, and it is rare for a father to eat with his children.

Of course, it is not so simple to get them to accept this thing.

The rules have been passed down for thousands of years, and who wants to change them at will?

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "The reunion table is worthy of its name." ”

Of course, she has to support her son's property.

"If you only innovate in this area, it will not benefit the world." Fang Xuanling shook his head.

As a servant of the court, he saw farther.

Li Er also nodded and said, "Indeed, as far as the world is concerned, the direction is wrong. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, laughed." Wang Dequan said, "This is just the tip of the iceberg, or rather, this is the corner of the innovation of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Start small, think big?" The eldest grandson Wuji, who had not spoken much, nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's a good thing. ”

"What's the big deal?" On the other side, Li Jing asked.

Although he also drinks alcohol, he is not like those wine jars of Wei Chi Jingde, he only knows how to drink, and he still pays attention to the movements here.

But Wang Dequan knew that the opportunity had come.

"The revitalization of culture and education is the big deal." Wang Dequan said, "Nowadays, there is cheap paper all over Datang, and Datang culture and education will surely reach the top." ”

"That's what I said." Fang Xuanling said, "Can the revitalization of culture and education be a matter of one day? ”

Who doesn't want to revitalize culture and education and leave a name in history?

But it's not that simple.

Paper is cheaper, but the price of books is there.

The price of books does not fluctuate much because of the price of paper.

At the end of the day, books are more expensive than they are on the engraving, not on the paper.

"That's not true." When Wang Dequan heard this, he said, "Little Lao'er naturally knows the difficulties, but it's not impossible. ”

"What's the way?" Li Er immediately asked.

Wang Dequan finally showed his fangs: "There are not many books in the Tang Dynasty, but there are also a lot, if these people take out the books and make a library building, what should they do?"

At that time, it can be open to students all over the world, and the library will provide four treasures of the study, and one can be given by copying two books. The person who takes out the book can get it back after a year, and he can also choose several other books.

This not only allows students to review the old and learn the new, but also invisibly scatters books among the people, in less than three or five years, what kind of prosperous scene should it be? ”

After hearing what he said, everyone was stunned.

Will this work?

It works!

As far as these people are concerned, even if it is Wei Chi Jingde's house, they can find a few books, and if they really want to take out the books and make a library, I am afraid that it will attract the cheers of students all over the world.

What's more, transcribing books does have the effect of refreshing the old and learning the new.

Of course, there are some books that they are reluctant to take out, such as the ones they have annotated themselves.

But if you really want to do this, it is estimated that the Shi family should go crazy again.

But if you really want to do this, Chang'an will be noisy again!

"Is this what King Ming thinks?" Li Er asked.

He was also shocked in his heart!

This method is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective method for him.

"It's nature." Wang Dequan nodded.
