Chapter 119: A Broken Fiefdom
I didn't expect to see another big guy, from Sun Simiao to Xu Jingzong, I have seen a lot of big guys recently.
Don't look at Xu Jingzong standing very humble, his appearance makes people feel treacherous.
Li Tai spoke: "He said that there is a way to keep the cake business. ”
Xu Jingzong replied: "Actually, it's simple, as long as part of the cake business and the soap business are reversed, so that no one loses, and the queen will be satisfied." ”
Business is not evergreen, and profits are not static.
The soap business has some stamina, and the small cake business is gaining momentum, and in the long run, when the small cake business stamina is insufficient, the soap business can still make complementary profits.
If the queen also has a share of the cake shop, she can exchange the soap business with the cake shop business, and there is no need to spend extra money.
It is indeed a result that all three parties are satisfied with.
It's a bit like the meaning of equity swaps in later generations.
I really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients.
Zhang Yang smiled, looked at Xu Jingzong and said, "I know at a glance that Brother Xu is not a thing in the pool, and he will definitely soar one day." ”
Xu Jingzong smiled and saluted again.
I don't know what Xu Jingzong wants to do when he finds Li Tai? Take sides?
Now that the crown prince and the king of Wei are still young, the situation is not obvious, Xu Jingzong is not a stupid person, and he will not be so rash.
In history, Xu Jingzong did soar in his later years.
A person who has never crossed paths suddenly comes out to help you, and he must want something from you, or he falls in love with you at first sight......
Zhang Yang asked Li Tai in a low voice, "How did you find this person?" ”
Li Tai whispered, "He said he wanted to see you." ”
Zhang Yang looked at him, and the other party saluted again.
Seeing that Xu Jingzong felt a little embarrassed in his heart, why did this person like to salute so much.
With one hand on Li Tai's shoulder, Zhang Yang said: "His Royal Highness King Wei, you said that we have known each other for so long, should you also call me brother-in-law." ”
"Sister......
Li Tai wanted to scream and swallowed again, and changed his mouth and said: "Actually, this king has always regarded you as a brother. ”
"When you are a brother, you can't forget your seniority."
"It's too familiar to call out."
"Okay, I'll do business with the prince in the future."
Li Tai slapped the case, "You! ”
Zhang Yang said with emotion: "I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will react when he knows that you have scolded him for more than half an hour." ”
"You can't do business with him."
"Why?"
"You have a business with the crown prince, what should this king do?"
Li Tai looked nervous, and the little fat man was anxious.
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Actually, I also have a dish called fried dumplings, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will like to eat it." ”
As soon as he heard the new dish, Li Tai swallowed his saliva and grunted...... It's a bit loud.
It's been a long time since I've eaten a layer cake to have a memorable meal.
It's been a long time, and I haven't eaten the food made by Zhang Yang for a long time.
"Sister......" said the previous word, and couldn't say the next word like a knot in his throat, and Li Tai swallowed it back.
It was quiet for a while.
"Even you bullied me, wow......" Li Tai wiped his tears and ran out of the room with tears.
There are always one or two bad friends in life, although it is not good to say whether it will stick a knife in your ribs, or stick two knives in you, at least it will not make you feel too lonely.
Cheng Chumo had fallen asleep on the table.
Xu Jingzong was still standing in the room, looking at Li Tai's back, and he said, "His Royal Highness King Wei is also a man of temperament. ”
"yes, it's sad to cry."
He whispered, "This time I finally saw the colt." ”
Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Why do you want to see me?" ”
Xu Jingzong explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to get to know each other. ”
After another pause, Xu Jingzong continued: "To be able to solve the puzzle of the Tubo people, a few days ago I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Wei gave His Majesty a strategy, and then Tubo and Tuyuhun went to war. At first, I was not sure, because His Royal Highness the King of Wei was very abnormal recently, and then I heard that the new concubine of the clan, I really determined what I thought before I saw it today, and I saw it today that it was really a hero from ancient times. ”
It's embarrassing sycophant, the problem is that this person doesn't have a red face when he pats his ass, and he's still a cheeky guy.
"Aren't you afraid of guessing wrong?"
"Even if it's wrong, you should have a good relationship with His Royal Highness King Wei, if you are not ten percent sure, there are eighty percent, if you can't think of this, you will live to the belly of a dog at the next age."
Dealing with smart people can be a lot of work, especially if they've investigated you beforehand.
He is the one who overthrew the eldest grandson Wuji in history?
Xu Jingzong said in a low voice: "I don't know what the colt is going to do now?" ”
"I want to see the scenery."
After speaking, he looked back at Cheng Chumo, who was still asleep, how unpleasant this explosion head looked.
Zhang Yang said to Xu Jingzong: "You take the little general to wash his hair, and then settle the wine money." ”
Seeing Zhang Yang leave, the smile on Xu Jingzong's face became stronger, and he could still suppress King Wei without being surprised, and this person could make friends.
In the Ganlu Palace, a group of military generals and civil officials were discussing the affairs of Tuyuhun and Tubo.
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is best to let Tuyuhun and Tubo truce to show the prestige of the country. ”
Wei Chigong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is a good time to subdue Tubo and Tuyuhun, let them cease fighting at this moment, once they recover their strength, it may become a big disaster in the future." ”
Wei Zheng stood up and said: "If you are a gentleman, the minister thinks that it is a gentleman's act to let them cease fighting." ”
Seeing Wei Zheng speak, Cheng Yanjin said, "Wei Zheng, do you know how rare this opportunity is? If you miss this opportunity, will you have a chance next time? ”
"What did you just say about the old man?" Wei Zheng's eyes were cold.
The civil and military generals of the Tang Dynasty were quite arrogant, and they liked to express some inner thoughts no matter what was good or bad.
Or write poems to express your sensibilities.
As a man of temperament, Datang is martial and martial, and he likes to compare and contrast when he disagrees.
This is also a unique landscape of Datang.
The hall was full of discussions, and Li Shimin held his forehead in distress.
Seeing that Wei Zheng and Cheng Yanjin were about to fight, Li Shimin said: "Okay, since you can't make up your mind, let's retreat first and then discuss it." ”
"Whoa!" Wenchen and military generals responded in unison, and walked out of the Ganlu Hall one after another.
Finally quieted down.
After taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin thought of the story Zhang Yang had said, and then made an order: "Tell Li Daliang to lead 3,000 troops to increase the army in Liangzhou." ”
"Whoa!" The little eunuch left in a hurry.
Until now, Li Shimin is still thinking about what the deep meaning of Zhang Yang's story is, and maybe he will see him again.
The last time I saw Yue'er, I didn't say a few words to him in a hurry.
Li Shimin asked, "Li Chunfeng has also gone to see Zhang Yang?" ”
The eunuch replied: "I've seen it, but it's just ......"
Seeing that the eunuch was spitting, Li Shimin said impatiently: "I have something to say." ”
"Well, after Li Chunfeng Dao Chang saw the horse, he came back and went into retreat, and I heard the eunuch who patrolled the night say that he was crazy after coming back, and I saw Li Chunfeng Dao Chang faint to the ground this morning, and it took a while to wake up."
"And such a thing?"
"Yes, the whole person is crazy, and he keeps saying that he can finish the calculation, and he will definitely finish the calculation."
After the eunuch finished speaking, Li Shimin fell silent and pondered......
Let Li Chunfeng teach Zhang Yang, I didn't want to let a good person mistake, why didn't he teach him well, he himself went crazy first?
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let the people from the Imperial Medical Department take a look, let him not go crazy first, I still have a lot of things to do for him." ”
"Whoa."
Family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, many people in Chang'an City after the Great Dynasty Meeting are talking about the Great Dynasty Meeting.
The masses in Chang'an City naturally did not dare to discuss in front of the officials, and they could still talk with relish in private, and they could even talk about the origin of species from the court affairs.
The spirit of intellectual curiosity has always been never-ending.
Gossip is also something to talk about.
Zhang Yang is not interested in these state affairs and world affairs, and he doesn't want to shed his blood for Li Tangjiangshan, but now he just wants to think about the quality of his pension in the future.
Zhang Yang and Li Yue got into a carriage and went to Shangshan Village under the escort of two aunts.
Aunt Yang rode a horse to explore the village first.
Zhang Yang held Li Shimin's holy decree in his hand and read it over and over again, "You said that this yellow silk is such a good silk and it is a pity that it is not used to make underwear." ”
Li Yue scolded: "If you are ashamed of the scenery, you are not ashamed." ”
After an hour of driving, the carriage stopped.
The two of them stepped out of the carriage and saw a dilapidated village, which was very small and gave people a very old feeling, and the cold wind blew and rolled up a piece of dead grass and fallen leaves, which looked even more desolate.
Aunt Yang had already taken some people to stand at the entrance of the village.
Zhang Yang saw Niu Chuang standing at the front at a glance.
Niu Chuang also recognized Zhang Yang and greeted, "Brother Xiao Zhang." ”
"It's really a place in life where we don't meet, you helped me build a store at the beginning, and now I can see you here again."
Aunt Yang glanced at Niu Chuang and said, "I didn't salute when I saw Her Royal Highness the princess and the concubine." ”
Niu Chuang hurriedly saluted, "The villain is in the mountain village, Niu Chuang has seen the horse and the princess." ”
A group of villagers behind him also saluted.
Now I understand that the little Zhang brother in front of me is a colt, Niu Chuang wants to slap himself, and I don't know if this little Zhang brother will hold a grudge after receiving the money at the beginning.
Zhang Yang said curiously: "You are still a part-time craftsman?" ”
Niu Chuang said helplessly: "The brothers in the village are still pointing to me to find work, thinking of giving my family more food." ”
"It's not easy."
"It's okay, I can barely get by."
The villagers bowed and did not dare to look up.
Niu Chuang took out a roll of bamboo slips and said, "This is the field register of our Shangshan Village, as well as all the household registrations. ”
Aunt Wang took the field book and handed it to Li Yue.
Niu Chuang smiled, "Brother Zhang...... No, the villain took the pony and the princess to see the fiefdom. ”
His clothes were patched, and a group of villagers were yellow-skinned.
The houses were also very dilapidated, and the roofs were all thatched and there was not a single tile.
Li Yue frowned and looked at everything here, thinking about what would happen to the fiefdom, but he didn't expect it to be so broken.
Niu Chuang walked in front with two people, and the two aunts guarded the side.
Zhang Yang took Li Yue's hand and walked, "Although the village is a little dilapidated, the geographical location is good, and it should be good to renovate it." ”
Li Yue looked at Tian Ji and said: "Shangshan Village has a total of 61 acres of land, 43 households, and 100 people. ”
That's all there is to the fiefdom.
Much worse than expected.
Thinking that it is impossible to sit and eat empty mountains, just eat one more bite of food from the villagers under such conditions, and these villagers will be hungry, and there is no possibility of exploitation.
Niu Chuang kept introducing the situation in the village, in addition to farming, he also went to find odd jobs to do in the village, and went to Lishan to hunt if he really didn't have anything to eat.
You won't starve.
After reading the village, Li Yue sighed, "Why don't we take a little money out?" ”
"No, no, no, Your Highness the Princess, don't do this." Niu Chuang hurriedly said: "The village is indeed poor, but we can live well ourselves." ”
After a trip, I basically got to know a rough idea.
Zhang Yang took out a volume of drawings and a book and said: "This is my plan for the fiefdom, we can start with the aquaculture industry and the furniture industry, which is also one of my poverty alleviation plans." ”
Niu Chuang stared, his brows furrowed.
Zhang Yang glanced at it, he took the book upside down, and couldn't help asking, "Take the liberty of asking, Brother Niu, do you know how to read?" ”
Niu Chuang shook his head vigorously.
Zhang Yang smiled bitterly: "Then you can watch it for so long?" ”
Niu Chuang's gaze still didn't leave the scroll, "If you read it for a while, maybe you will be able to understand." ”
“……”
It seems that not only poverty, but also cultural backwardness.
If you are illiterate, you will not be able to understand the text no matter how long you read it.
Zhang Yang said to him: "I plan to enclose two places in the village, one for raising chickens and the other for raising pigs, in addition to saving some costs for my store, I can also sell some money to give the villagers an income." ”
Hearing the word income, Niu Chuang's eyes lit up.
Zhang Yang said: "Then there is the furniture industry, people in our village can make some furniture and then sell it." ”
"Furniture?"
"Well, my first thought was a flush toilet."
Zhang Yang took out a stack of drawings from his baggage and handed it to him, "This is the drawing of the flush toilet." ”
Niu Chuang is illiterate, at least he can understand the drawings, "What is this thing used for?" ”
"Toilet use." Zhang Yang simply told him how to use it.
After listening to this, Niu Chuang was even more shocked, "Can this thing be sold?" ”
Zhang Yang said: "Our business method can be installed on the door, you can use it for the villagers in our village first, and try the effect." ”
A chic-looking latrine, but it's a bit awkward to sell this kind of thing.
"Isn't it not good to make things for the toilet every day."
"There is no distinction between high and low professions."
Niu Chuang hesitated for a long time, he had worked in the Ministry of Labor before, and there was naturally no problem in terms of craftsmanship.
Taking a deep breath, Niu Chuang finally made a decision, "I can try." ”
Zhang Yang nodded heavily, "For our cause of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich." ”
"Get rid of poverty and become rich!"
Niu Chuang's eyes seemed to have flames, and he was full of fighting spirit at this moment.
No way, this village is too poor.
