Chapter 50

Cheng Hong is drawing drawings in the small courtyard and it is rare that no one disturbs, Wu Erya is writing opposite Cheng Hong, writing two to look up at Cheng Hong, and two are looking at it, full of attachment that cannot be dissolved......

"Brother-in-law! I've come to see you! Cheng Hong...... Since Cheng Hong and Changle's marriage was decided, Li Chengqian has obviously become closer, and when there is no one, he calls his brother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Tell a few things about the palace: who is annoying! Who went to the emperor to complain again! Whoever stole in the palace was killed! ……

Sure enough, Li Chengqian's arrogant face, Cheng Hong rolled his eyes: "Is there something wrong?" At this time, Li Chengqian came in, followed by two people, one was the little fat man Li Tai of Wei during the agricultural festival that day, and the other should be Li Ke!

Sure enough, Li Chengqian pointed to the two people and said, "Cheng Hong, this is Wei Wangtai, this is Shu Wangke!" It's all Liz's brother! ”

Cheng Hong got up and arched his hand: "Meet the two kings!" Li Ke hurriedly helped him up: "Your family doesn't have to be so polite!" Li Tai stepped forward: "Cheng Hong! Can you teach me how to write poetry? ”

Li Chengqian dragged Li Tai: "Brother-in-law, Tai specializes in poetry, and I am very happy to see the poems you wrote to my eldest sister yesterday, so I came to visit today and want to learn from you......"

Cheng Hong: ...... I thought I was stunned enough, how could this King Wei be more stunned than himself! Cheng Hong waved his hand and looked at Li Tai: "Do you want to learn?" "Exactly!"

"And what do you do as tuition?" Li Tai reached out and took off a piece of jade pendant from his coat belt: "Is this okay?" Cheng Hong asked: "Do you think poetry can be bought with gold and jade?" Then I'll sell you a few songs! Li Tai said: "It's really insulting!" So how are you willing to teach? ”

Cheng Hong knocked on the drawings on the table unhurriedly: "I want to build a steelmaking plant on the edge of the Fenghe River, you help distribute the remuneration, don't reveal that you are the prince, and I will teach you when it is completed!" If you do the math, it will only be a matter of a month or two! Have you done the Lord? ”

Li Tai said: "Why don't you dare?" "A gentleman's word!" "It's hard to chase a horse!" "Bang Bang!" Three high-fives! And so it was settled. Li Chengqian was so anxious that he couldn't interject if he wanted to, but Li Ke was still stunned! This side is high-fived.

Li Chengqian said: "Brother Tai! Confused, Cheng Hong is a well-known monkey spirit, how can you make any agreement with him! Cheng Hong raised his eyes and looked at Shu Wang Ke, "King Wei has gone to pay him, don't you care if you are the third brother?" ”

To say that this Li Ke is honest: "You should do your best to take care of it!" Cheng Hong said to Li Chengqian: "Did you see it? It's voluntary, and I have nothing to do with it! Li Cheng pointed at Cheng Hong angrily and didn't say a word for a long time!

Cheng Hong picked up a stack of drawings at this time and handed it to Li Chengqian: "Take a look!" This is the steel mill, ten water wheel power can each supply two furnaces to practice steel, blast furnace ironmaking, after the iron ingots are transferred to the blast furnace, blast furnace steelmaking, when the time comes to build swords, guns and armor with hydraulic forging hammer in a quarter of an hour! ”

Li Chengqian took a look, this drawing treats the entire stone mountain as a section of the city wall, except for the side facing the wharf, the entire steel mill is backed by the mountain, and there is a river next to it, as long as the gate is guarded, even a fly can't fly in, if someone wants to attack, Chang'an reinforcements will arrive in an instant, a good place! Easy to defend but hard to attack! It's just a little too careful!

Li Chengqian asked, "Isn't it too careful?" Cheng Hong looked up at the third brother: "You think so too?" The three nodded! "You can't be too careful! You must know that we have advanced technology and can make armor blades, while the grassland people can only wear leather armor and hold iron knives and arrows to fight with us, if they also master this technology, it will be our Datang men who die! So be more careful here than on the battlefield!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembers: If you can give foreign poetry and Buddhist scriptures in the future, you can't give them a craftsman! Because the verses are immortal, but craftsmen can make swords! ”

Li Tai said: "It doesn't make sense! Isn't that still inferior to a craftsman? Cheng Hong said: "Cang Liao knows the etiquette, the food and clothing are enough and knows the honor and disgrace, if you want the people to learn etiquette, let him eat first, if the world has meat to eat, clothes and wear the country, it will last forever!" And this is exactly what my father is working on, and it depends on you! ”

Li Ke said: "What does this have to do with the steel mill?" Cheng Hong explained: "Look at it! If the steel mill is completed, the people in this area can go to the wharf of the steel mill to work, and subsidize the family in their spare time, if we are orphans and widows, we rent them the two small houses next to the wharf to let them sell some snacks, tea, food or something, at least they can live.

When they earn money, maybe they will add a piece of clothing for the New Year, or they will weigh two catties of meat in their spare time, and those who sell cloth sell cloth, and the butcher sells meat, so there is a tax, right? Wealth is collected from the people, and it is taken from the people for the people, so that the copper money can flow, and the state will collect more taxes

Using taxes to open factories and build cities is spending money, and those who work earn money...... In this way, one link after another, this is the economic chain! There are many ways to play the economy! If the King of Shu is interested, I can teach you, and you can play the next country without blood! ”

Li Chengqian said: "How is it possible?" Cheng Hong retorted: "How could it be! If we sell grain to them in Datang, it is cheaper than barley, will they still grow it?

The yaks that are collected from them at a high price are killed and made into beef jerky, and the beef powder is usually sold to the rich people of our Datang, don't you see? Our Datang children are generally not as strong as aliens, just because we people can't eat meat.

If you often eat some beef jerky and beef powder, it is also good for the body, and the excess grain is sold to Tubo, if it is operated well for a few years, there is not a single barley in Tubo, and there are yaks waiting for our Datang to collect everywhere.

At that time, whether we don't accept his yak or don't give them food, it will be enough for them to drink a pot! People will rebel when they are hungry! When the time comes, they will fight to the death, and when the fight is over, wouldn't it be easy for us to clean them up? ”

Li Ke arched his hand and said: "I have been taught!" If Cheng Shilang does not hesitate to teach this king, he is willing to learn the art of business warfare! Cheng Hong: "You don't have to be like this, if you are willing to learn to teach you, but you have to learn how to calculate accounts first, and I will write you a basic arithmetic in a few days, and you will learn first!"

The three of them sat for a while, Li Chengqian bandits turned over the manuscript of Journey to the West in Qiushuang, and Cheng Hong said: "Don't forget to call everyone to go to the river to start work tomorrow!" Li Chengqian waved his hand and left!

Cheng Hong also instructed Cheng Cai to bring the more than 1,000 auction bronze medals into the carriage tomorrow, and ordered to call the pro-soldiers and the blacksmiths brought back from Yunzhou City, and start work tomorrow.

After everything is ordered, I have time to take a look at Wu Erya!

Wu Erya was glaring at Cheng Hong: "You liar!" Cheng Hong was stunned: "How did I deceive people?" Wu Erya said: "Just now! Just now you said about the Tibetan barley, what if people hoard more? ”

Cheng Hong asked: "How many years have you been hoarding?" More is not suitable, less is not enough, if barley is not planted for three years, even the seeds cannot germinate, so this method is feasible! ”

Wu Erya tilted his head: "Then you are also a liar!" Even if King Wei doesn't go to the construction site, you don't dare not teach, even if he agrees, if the emperor doesn't let you, isn't it in vain? Cheng Hong rubbed Erya's head: "No!" At most, I will be punished, and my money will be punished for seven years in Zhenguan, what am I afraid of? There are more stones than soil in the fiefdom, and I have taken it by myself, and the food is said to be 300 households, but in fact there are only dozens of households, and I have to rely on my help to live, in fact, I have nothing but an empty baron! Oh! By the way, there's also an empty colt lieutenant! ”

Er Ya listened to the "Giggles!" "Laugh!" A poor man! Cheng Hong stopped, right! I've got to think of some money of my own!

Turned around and picked up the pen to "brush and brush" and drew a set of distillation equipment, asked Cheng Cai to build three sets and asked where the wine was bought by the way, Cheng Cai replied: "When did we buy wine in the Luguo Mansion, there are two brewing workshops under our name!"

Cheng Hong: Didn't ...... say that officials were not allowed to do business? Cheng Cai replied: "We make our own food and drink it ourselves, and if we can't finish it, we will give some to the various prefectures, and they will give some gifts back!" Besides, not only do we make wine, but Wei Zheng also makes wine, and the wine made by Wei Zheng is a must! Cheng Hong...... I may have met a fake Wei Zheng
