Li Mu thought about it and found that this is true. How can there be a certain success? I have done the best I can do, and I am also the most suitable person to do this. If I fail in this way, it is God's will, and no one will blame me.

As the pressure lingered in his heart disappeared, Li Mu suddenly felt much more relaxed. He hugged Li Zhien and kissed him, and said, "I'll give myself a vacation today and call you Sister Qiaoqiao, let's have a meal together today."

"Yeah!" Li Zhien nodded excitedly and went to inform him like the wind.

The last time we had dinner together, we picked up Li Mu from the dock and came back. Since that day, the whole family had gone away. Except for Qiaoqiao, everyone in the family was responsible for a job, such as Wang Ou, who runs hundreds of shops, Zhang Tianai was in charge of the Jinyiwei. After Li Shimin came, the Jinyiwei was responsible for martial law and patrol work in Yangzhou, which was several times more arduous.

Jin Chen is planning to open a theater in Yangzhou, and it is also unpaid. Wei Yingluo has the experience of following Li Mu to open a cement factory in Lantian County and is responsible for guiding the Langya Wang family to open a cement factory. After Li Zhien came back, he became the housekeeper again. She was the only one in the Li family. She was the busiest person, so she was considered to be free. But she was not idle. She had to take care of her two children. Sometimes Wang Ou was too busy and would send her daughter over. Strictly speaking, Bai Qiaoqiao is the busiest person.

This leads to some people having lunch together, while others having to rush to have dinner together. Even if they occasionally get together, Li Mu is not at home. It has been a long time since the whole family has eaten together.

Actually, it’s normal that I can’t get together, but Li Mu finally had such a good mood. Everyone who had something to do pushed back and rushed back before supper.

What to eat?

Although my wife is not picky, after all, they have different backgrounds and experiences, and their preferences are different. There is nothing that cannot be made, but there is no atmosphere in this way. In the end, Li Mu made the decision and ate hot pot! There is nothing that can’t be hot pot in the world. It’s the twelfth lunar month, so it’s the most appropriate to eat hot pot.

The ingredients were easy to find. A cow fell to death in the Gu family's house. Gu Sizhi's whole family was vegetarian and had no choice but to send it to Li Mu. Li Mu reluctantly tried to cut Liu Sanshao into thin slices of meat, and the taste was delicious while it was fresh.

Dugu Jiu sat on the roof, looked at the smile that could not be hidden on Li Mu's face, and took a sip of the wine pot on his waist.

It took him a long time since he saw Li Mu's smile so relaxed. The longer he had been with Li Mu, the more he could feel it was difficult for Li Mu. There are really many things that he doesn't want to come out and do it, and no one will want to do it, and nothing can be done.

And what did he get?

He was already the most powerful minister and had endless wealth. He basically had no reward for anything he did, unless he wanted to rebel. But after getting along day and night, Dugu Jiu knew that Li Mu had absolutely no such intention. If he could choose, he might not even be willing to do this marquis, but he had not finished what he wanted to do and could not take off the burden on his shoulders.

He had a meal happily. When it was time to sleep, Li Mu thought to "sleep with the same bed" and was rejected. It was a bit ridiculous. One to six, even if the girls were willing, his health would be in a bad state.

In the end, Li Mu slept in the study all night. In the middle of the night, Li Zhien came to accompany him, and finally he didn't look so pitiful.

...

Early the next morning, Li Mu brought Li Tai and Qin Huaidao together to build the Yangzhou Exchange. This exchange was also the original Gu family's property. Because of its very good location, it was requisitioned by Li Mu to become a temporary exchange in Yangzhou. As for the formal exchange, it had to wait until the construction of Mingzhou Port is completed before demarcating the location.

However, in terms of functions, there is almost no difference, and they are all settled the same. However, Li Mu has made up his mind to make some upgrades in this way.

The Luoyang Trading Center, which was first listed in Luoyang Trading Center, had only a few stocks, all of which were called "country". That's because Li Mu built the Luoyang Trading Center, which mainly carried out the role of stabilizing the economy. At the same time, the deflation situation at that time did not improve, and it was not suitable for the next step of reform.

Now the silver ingots in Japan have been mined, and a steady stream of silver ingots are being transported over. With the key to depositing silver among the people, it is about to be released, and a large amount of copper coins will be entered in the market. At this time, it is most appropriate to carry out the next reform.

"From today on, this is your home, eating here and living here. You two, one is responsible for explanations and the other is responsible for accounts, two days and one cycle, and they can communicate clearly with each other. Can you do it?"

this……

The two brothers looked at each other, and Li Tai said, "Brother..."

"Call Master!"

"Hey, Master," Li Tai was not stubborn, called Master, and then said to Li Mu: "We can do it, but the problem is that there are so many doors here now, and there is nothing to do!"

"When you are too busy," Li Mu left a sentence, turned around and left, leaving only the two brothers with inexplicable faces.

After leaving the exchange, Li Mu came to the newspaper. The newspaper run by Tang Guan was officially named Datang Business Daily, and has been tried and published several issues. As expected, the effect is very good. Now all the businessmen in Yangzhou have reached the level of having one. Everyone has different concerns. Some are just to join in the fun, some are looking for business opportunities, and some are to see if Mingzhou Port still can't recruit workers, and they want to go over and have a meal.

What surprised Li Mu was that the literacy rate in Yangzhou City was even higher than that in Chang'an City. After inquiring, I found out that this thing had some historical origins. Emperor Yang of Sui died in Jiangdu, and Jiangdu is now Yangzhou. At that time, Emperor Yang of Sui had a family that did not return, lived in Jiangdu, and accompanied him many nobles and nobles. These people were originally accompanied by the king, but unfortunately they encountered the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty. All the nobles and nobles and nobles became ordinary people.

If they are mixed with the people of Yangzhou, they will get married and have children, and the literacy rate will be higher?

This is also good, and the news is conveyed faster. Li Mu discussed with Tang Guan's secret, and then Tang Guan wrote a notice. After Li Mu read it, he modified several places and confirmed that it was correct. He immediately sent it to the layout and printing.

...

The next day, early in the morning, the newspaper seller shuttled through the streets and alleys. Given the newspapers, the family sent the newspapers, Chu Dali was a blacksmith in Yangzhou City. His iron shop was not an ordinary small workshop, but an authentic iron shop authorized by the government. Because his father was a palace blacksmith at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he had good craftsmanship. In the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, weapons and armor needed to be repaired. The blacksmith was a popular profession, so he saved this shop. When he was very young, he was also given the public hopes by his father, hoping that he could study hard and take the imperial examinations. Even if he couldn't take the imperial examination, he could live a life of literacy and not be poor in his life. It was better than his ancestors who made irons and earned by their strength.

But for various reasons, the path of studying has not yet been achieved. Chu Dali still embarked on the path of a blacksmith. Because of his family's skills, his business is doing well, but if he makes a fortune, there is still no hope. There are two reasons. First, no matter how much money the blacksmith makes, it is a cheap career. He needs a little effort to exchange for income. After all, people's strength is limited. How many nails can he make in a row? If he makes money, there is a limit unless he increases his manpower.

But because it is a cheap karma, it is not impossible. Who is willing to learn this? Even though Chu Dali does not have the heart of self-definition and is willing to accept disciples and teach skills, few people are willing to learn it. Since his father passed away, Chu Dali has been recruiting disciples for almost fifteen or sixteen years. Chu Dali and his son have only accepted three apprentices in total. The fourth one is not found, and it is basically impossible to expand the scale of the business.

Another reason is that the investment cost of the blacksmith shop is relatively high. A very simple truth is that the iron is too expensive. This leads to a large order that he dare not accept at all. After taking it, he does not have enough money to prepare materials, and he cannot complete it within the construction period, and he still has to pay for it, and there is not enough manpower.

This problem is like a vicious cycle, leaving Chu Dali helpless. After a long time, he gave up. He has recently begun to consider whether to ask his son not to be a blacksmith and find a way out on the wharf. After all, compared to the future that can be seen by a blacksmith, there are still infinite possibilities at sea. Maybe he can catch up with an opportunity to break the fate passed down by his ancestors?

After receiving the newspaper, Chu Dali habitually went to read the front page headlines. The most important thing was placed on the front page headlines. He was used to standing at the door and reading the front page headlines, and then waiting for his time to rest before reading other news.

"Eh?" Chu Dali glanced at it and made a surprise sound. He leaned over and read it carefully, then looked it from the beginning. Suddenly, he took off the rust-blocked leather apron around his waist, grabbed the newspaper and walked out. His son called him, but he ignored it and told him to look at the shop well and wait for him to come back.

There were many people outside the exchange. Like Chu Dali, they came to find out the news after reading the newspaper. Qin Huaidao and Li Tai, who were cleaning the house, heard the noise outside and went to the door panel to look out. They were shocked when they saw so many people.

What happened? So many people blocked the door, could it be that the people in Yangzhou have changed? Everyone guessed that the exchange might have money, so they all came to rob it?

At this time, Li Tai noticed the newspaper in the crack of the door. He pulled the newspaper in casually, and the big-word title on the front page headline came into his eyes, "Important notice on allowing private stock projects to be established."

"No wonder, no wonder!" Li Tai showed the newspaper to Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao understood instantly.

The people of all kinds outside the door were not causing trouble, they came to inquire about the news. Yesterday, there were so many people today, Qin Huaidao was a little worried. How could the two of them receive so many people? It was still a quarter of an hour before it was time to open the door, and it was too late to find someone temporarily.

"What's the problem? They came today, most of the time just to inquire about the news. The questions were almost the same. Let's put people in first and explain them with this notice. Most of the people will disperse. Let's spend more effort and write the most asked questions into announcements and post them at the door. In this way, those who still want to ask these questions will just look at the announcement at the door, which will save us the effort."

"This is a good idea! I'll get paper and pen." Qin Huaidao turned around and prepared. Li Tai looked at the more and more people outside, and admired Li Mu even more. The mentor was indeed a mentor, with the ability to turn the world and turn the world. Yesterday, the exchange was crowded with people today, which was really eye-opening.

Moreover, although he couldn't guess the overall plan of his mentor, looking at the current trend, Li Tai also guessed a rough idea that what he did now must be the most important part of all the reforms of his mentors, and he could connect many things. In this way, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

More and more people gathered outside the exchange gate, which alarmed the Jinyiwei to come to maintain order. The people lined up in four rows at the door. Later, when people saw that they were queuing in front, they consciously joined the queue. There were too long queues in the world, so they took the initiative to walk aside. Their curiosity was not that strong. When these people learned the first-hand news, they would also listen to the second-hand ones themselves.

Finally, it was time for the exchange to open. With the Jinyiwei maintaining order, the people entered one after another. However, the people in line far exceeded the number of people that the exchange could carry, and there were still many people at the door unable to enter. Li Tai thought of another solution. He folded the paper a few layers and rolled up a loudspeaker, so the sound became much louder and people outside the door could hear it.

"We have already understood the purpose of your visit. It is nothing more than wanting to know what private stock projects are and how to operate them. Now I will explain it to you. First of all, when you see the news, you can come over, and everyone knows what stocks are. I won't talk nonsense. In the past, there was only one exchange in Datang, that was the Luoyang Trading Center, but the stocks there were all national-level companies such as Datang Jianye, Datang Salt Industry, and Datang Mining. The price of each share was very high, which was not something that ordinary people could participate. Moreover, apart from these stocks, there was no other stock to choose from, and the private participation was very low."

"When our Yangzhou exchange was established, it was just the time when the country was about to open sea transportation and build ports. All walks of life in Jiangnan were full of vitality and ready to go. In order to cooperate with this hard-won development opportunity, with the permission of His Majesty, Li Mu, the Marquis of Luoyang, deepened the reform of stock trading. He was particularly allowed to private operators to establish projects on the exchange to raise funds!"

"After the exchange audit is approved, the project can be listed and people can be subscribed."
