Chapter 275 The mood is very complicated (second update)

Ye Ci went to visit Liu Heng with food and wine.

During the period when Liu Heng was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, his life was quite comfortable. When he had nothing to do, he would chat with the two brothers next door through the wall to stimulate each other.

Especially the King of Wu, Liu Pu, was both good and fun-loving, and would be stimulated to the point of jumping every time.

As for Wei Wang Liu Yu, he is a dull gourd most of the time, silent. To be honest, no one can guess what he is thinking in his heart. Anyway, his image and his hobby of wives, on the surface, they have nothing to do with each other.

can not tell.

To say that King Wu likes wives, well, it seems possible on the surface. For such an arrogant and high-profile person, it is understandable that he likes a little excitement.

King Wei, such a low-key person, actually...

It can be seen that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

The King of Wu, who was showing his teeth and claws all day long, actually lived his life honestly and guarding the women in his backyard.

King Wei, who had a very low sense of existence, did something shocking.

When Ye Ci brought the food and wine, Liu Heng was taking a break.

He held Ye Ci's little hand and couldn't bear to put it down, "As soon as the lady comes, I have no intention of quarreling with the King of Wu. He can only use his words."

"It seems that you are also showing off your power of words now."

"How can it be the same? I am smarter than him, more elegant than him, better at being a person than him, better than him... In short, I am better than him in everything. Otherwise, you would not covet me as soon as you see me.

This king’s beauty.”

Pooh!

Ye Ci was amused, "Who covets your beauty? At that time, you were just a bean sprout, how can you describe your beauty? If I want to say covet, the most I can do is covet the money in your hand. You are so generous."

"Hehe... you are just fascinated by my generous and handsome king, right?"

That's right!

Ye Ci took out the food and wine from the food boxes, and the two food boxes filled the table.

"I know you won't be able to eat well here, so I specially ordered the kitchen to cook all the dishes you like."

"My wife is the best to me."

He couldn't wait to use his chopsticks.

The injuries on his body have long been healed. When the weather gets hot, he wants to drink shirtless, but it's not very elegant.

Ye Ci waved a cattail leaf fan gently, "It's only April, and the weather is already extremely hot. I heard it rains every day in the south, and it's so cold that I have to wear several layers of clothes. This weather is really abnormal."

"Nothing is good here at Zongzheng Temple. The only good thing is that it's not hot at night when you sleep. This place has its own yin energy, so it's very cool at night."

"I heard that this place used to be a cemetery?" Ye Ci was ready to gossip.

Liu Heng ate a piece of pork ribs and shook his head repeatedly, "You have been told nonsense. This is not a cemetery, but it is true that there have been wars here before, and many people died. Perhaps because of this, the yin energy will be stronger."

oh!

"Dead people! We are still fighting on the battlefield, which is scarier than the cemetery."

"You can't scare me. I don't believe in these things."

Ye Ci laughed and said, "I'm not trying to scare you, I'm telling the truth. By the way, today the army is setting off, and I took a quick look at it on the street. It looked so powerful. Yuan Youren indeed has a few brushes. In just one month,

A group of prostitutes and newly recruited young men were trained by him to look good, at least they look glamorous on the surface."

"Seriously?" When Liu Heng heard this, his appetite suddenly lost half of his appetite, "Yuan Youren also knows how to train troops."

"You must be shocked too! Everyone in the court was shocked. It is said that he went to the Beijing Camp to learn from the experience for three days, and then he took a group of cronies and started to train his own troops. In a short period of time, at least the military discipline and appearance were passed the test."

Liu Heng frowned, "So he really knows how to train troops."

"You should understand. For smart people, many things that we think are difficult can be easily accomplished by others."

Liu Heng put down his chopsticks, feeling a little depressed.

"No wonder he was able to convince his father to let him lead the army. Could it be that this boy had been planning to lead the army for a long time and learned military skills in private.

He is favored by his father, and he can easily get hold of various archives and books in Lantai Temple. The most classic military books, which ordinary people will never get around in their lifetime, are also easy for him to get.

It seems that everyone underestimated him and thought he got into the job because of his beauty. Little did they know how much preparation he had done in private and how much knowledge he had learned."

Liu Heng was very depressed.

It feels uncomfortable to suddenly discover that the people you have always despised are actually not uneducated, but rather have great potential and are good at learning.

If Yuan Youren had a different origin or a different promotion platform, he would never be scolded like this. With his intelligence and intelligence, he would be praised and become a model for the poor and lowly to make progress.

Now, haha...

The infamy he has suffered cannot be washed away, and his reputation cannot be reversed.

Even if one day he returns with a great victory and no one dares to mention his past, it will always be recorded in the history books. Thousands of years later, when people talk about Long Yang's good deeds, he might also be on the list.

This is the name behind it!

The reputation that civil servants strive for!

The fame that the emperor wanted but could not get!

He drank a glass of wine and couldn't help sighing.

Ye Ci knew exactly what he was thinking, and would not explain it to him, nor would he take the opportunity to ridicule him.

She just stayed by his side silently, drinking and eating with him, and chatting about everyday things.

"There are many benefits to Yuan Youren's departure from Beijing. Qinghe Bookstore resumed business this afternoon. This year, the bookstore accumulated a lot of books, all of which were printed by Ping'an Paper Factory. You know Desheng Building, their color printing has been improved, but

I have made a name for myself. No matter how good the business is now, I only go to the color-printed paintings on the menu. In addition, I plan to publish a new book called "Three Kingdoms", and I decided that every character should have a color-printed portrait."

""Three Kingdoms", do you plan to write the story of the Three Kingdoms into a storybook and sell it?"

Ye Ci nodded, "What do you think of this idea? The bookstore has already written the first ten chapters, which is enough to publish the first volume. I originally planned to ask my adoptive father to come out and draw portraits. Who do you think my adoptive father recommended to me?

My adoptive father recommended Madame Mengniang to me, saying that Madam Mengniang was the best at painting portraits. I saw the sample and it was really good."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can make your own decisions about these things. Have you ever calculated how much money you can make in a year by doing book business?"

"You can get a few hundred taels. If there is a hit that year, you can make one or two thousand taels."

"Such a small amount of profit is still worthy of your attention now. Any reward given by the palace is more than this amount of money."

Pooh!

Ye Ci disagreed with what he said, "It is true that the business of the bookstore is not big, and the hard-earned money is not much. But have you ever thought about how many people can I support with a bookstore?

Polishing pens, copying books, printing, portraits, shopkeepers, clerks, including the family members and children behind them... can solve the feeding problem of many people.

You can't stop doing it just because the profit is small. Everyone is counting on this to make a living.

Do you know how many down-and-out scholars there are in the capital? Do you know how many landless urban residents and landless peasants there are? What do they rely on for food? Isn’t it just from one shop after another?

If everyone thinks like you, just talk about the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the capital. These ordinary people have no land. How can they live? As a superior, don’t be so indifferent, let alone ruthless! The Liu family relies on thousands of people.

Thousands of little people.”

Liu Heng was ashamed, "I have gone astray. I only thought about the small business and small profits, but forgot that one store is related to the jobs of dozens of people. In the end, eating is the most important thing. Do a good job in your bookstore and try to open more

Open a branch and support more people.”

Ye Ci smiled and said: "Qinghe Study's branch in Beijing alone has five scholarly writers and eight copywriters. Mrs. Mengniang helps with portraits. We will definitely cooperate with her for a long time in the future. We need to add a few more people to share the work. In addition,

Shopkeeper Xiaosi... I also plan to sell more imperial examination books in the future. Articles about my adoptive father will definitely sell well.

However, there are still too few people who are literate. It is better for us to set up a school ourselves. This has been done before in Yunxia Mountain, and the young children in charge in Zhuangzi were all taught this way.

Anyway, there are many Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the capital, so I will choose a Zhuangzi with a good location, set up a junior school, and train more talents. If you are not literate and do not know arithmetic, you will not be able to work as a planner or a shopkeeper. "

"How much does it cost to run a school? I'll ask Jia Ling to send some money."

"You will be embarrassed by the family. He runs a huge palace in the fiefdom, supports thousands of people, and has huge expenses. I will take care of the money. Get a few people to jointly set up a school to help everyone train suitable people.

."

"Are you still planning to recruit people to run a school together?" Liu Heng was a little surprised.

"Why not? The palace is surrounded by big families. It doesn't matter how many. A family has fifty taels and one hundred taels of silver. If you enroll in a few schools, the expenses will be enough for a few years. Princess Xinping's palace will definitely be able to get the money. Princess Wu's place probably won't.

The problem is not big if Princess Wei thinks about it. The eldest princess has Pingting to help, the Zhang family has Wu Lang to help, the adoptive father will definitely not stand idly by, and the Gao family may be able to get some money..."

Ye Ci counted them one by one with his fingers, and Liu Heng was shocked.

He was very doubtful, "How popular are you? Don't make money when the time comes. I will laugh at you."

Ye Ci rolled his eyes at him, "If it's a few hundred taels or even a thousand taels, it will definitely be difficult. A few dozen taels of silver, no more than a hundred taels at most, should be fine. At worst, when I start the enamel business, I'll take the big guy

Pull them all into the shareholders' meeting."

"You always talk about enamel, enamel, what on earth is that?"

"Tell me first, which place has the best iron-making technology in the world?"

"Of course they are Shaofu craftsmen, needless to say. Shaofu has the best craftsmen in the world, no matter what industry. Masons, carpenters, painters, blacksmiths... In short, all types of work, the best craftsmen are in Shaofu

Neither the government nor the Ministry of Industry can do it. The Ministry of Industry has to borrow people from the Shaofu every year for construction projects."

Enamel is actually not worth a lot of money, and the craftsmanship is very simple.

The difficulty lies in the large initial investment.

You have to smelt the iron yourself, then stamp it, paint it, or apply oil paint. Every process requires skills.

Ye Ci has product ideas and sales ideas. She knows roughly how to make this thing, but she doesn't have the technology.

Moreover, due to her status, there are restrictions on what she can do.
