Chapter 209
At the hour of Mao the next day, the large group of people set out to return to Chang'an.
"Brother-in-law, what are your recent plans after returning to the manor? Is there anything I can help with?"
Su Chen, Li Chengqian and Princess Changle rode in a carriage together.
Although it was the first time for Li Chengqian and his sister to camp outdoors, they slept very well last night without any discomfort.
"Xiao Le, where did these 1,000 points come from?"
[Brother Chen, this Xiao Le doesn't know! ]
Su Chen did not answer Li Chengqian's question. At this moment, Su Chen looked at the balance of points and racked his brains to think: 'Where did these 1,000 points come from? '
That's right, the balance of points inexplicably increased by 1,000, but Su Chen didn't know where it came from. When he asked Xiao Le, it didn't know anything.
"Bad review! This mall is not user-friendly enough, there is not even a detailed breakdown of points. If I knew where the points came from, I would have a goal in the future!
Hey~! I have to calculate these 1,000 points carefully, how to spend them cost-effectively."
Su Chen frowned slightly and thought, then checked the items that can be exchanged in the points mall.
Li Chengqian saw that Su Chen did not respond, stretched his head in front of Su Chen, staring at Su Chen.
"Shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste are a must, and you must also get two pairs of underwear, and exchange paper towels once."
Su Chen picked out some daily necessities that he thought were most needed at the moment.
"Hmm? Two-piece women's underwear? Should I arrange it for Li Zhi?"
Su Chen imagined the scene and shook his head repeatedly to dispel the idea.
"Although the people of the Tang Dynasty are open and tolerant, if I give this set of underwear to Li Zhi, I guess she will think I am a pervert!"
He casually looked at the price of a two-piece women's underwear.
...Six hundred points!
"Damn it! Those pieces of fabric are so expensive? I won't buy them even if I'm beaten to death."
'Is it so easy to make money from women? '
Su Chen cursed inwardly and slapped his thigh.
In the end, Su Chen spent 460 points and bought two sets of shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and toothbrush, and the other set for Princess Changle.
In addition, there were two pairs of men's underwear and 20 packs of paper towels, which were specially used for going to the toilet.
There were still 240 points left, and I didn't plan to buy a watch now.
The best way is to live your own life first.
At this moment, not only Li Chengqian was staring at Su Chen face to face.
Even Princess Changle, who was originally sitting opposite, squeezed her head with Li Chengqian and stared at Su Chen with wide eyes.
...
After exchanging the items and putting them into the system space, Su Chen's consciousness and senses returned to reality.
"Fuck, what do you want to do?"
Su Chen was frightened by the two big faces in front of him.
"Brother-in-law, did your soul leave your body and travel in the void just now?" Li Chengqian asked seriously.
"Alas! I didn't expect that you could find out even though I was so low-key." Su Chen answered seriously.
"Tsk!"
Li Chengqian and his sister spoke and moved in sync, and sat down on both sides of Su Chen with a wave of their hands.
"I just asked you if you have any plans after returning to the manor." Li Chengqian asked again.
Su Chen thought about it and it seemed that he had nothing to do recently. "I don't have any plans. I'll just wait for the rain so that the people can plant those sweet potatoes and potatoes."
Li Chengqian patted Su Chen on the shoulder and said, "I'll ask my father after I go back. If there is any news, I'll send someone to the manor to inform you."
"Okay, there is something I want to tell you in advance. You can prepare in the next two or three days." Su Chen turned sideways and looked at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian nodded, "You go." He sat up straight and waited for Su Chen to continue.
"Those candidates have been in the manor for three days of training. In the next two days, I will prepare a test paper for them. The test questions are mainly about the use of pinyin and punctuation, as well as the application of lowercase numbers in arithmetic.
Candidates who pass the test will stay in the manor and work as teachers or in the printing house.
Of course, they have the choice of staying or leaving.
After the printing house officially starts, your task will come. You contact the heads of the noble families who have salt businesses in various states, preferably those who participated in the road construction.
Invite them to the manor, and we will talk to them about papermaking and the sale of printed books."
Su Chen said slowly, and Li Chengqian listened carefully.
Li Chengqian nodded after listening, and looked at Su Chen, hesitant to speak.
"Brother-in-law, do you want to ask: Why do I hand over these technologies and businesses to the noble families?"
Su Chen realized that Li Chengqian seemed to have something to ask, so he asked with a smile.
"That's right, brother-in-law, can you help me solve my doubts?" Li Chengqian bowed and smiled.
Su Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "Let the noble families do these things, firstly because they have the ability to do business, and secondly because they have good channels. The most important thing is to share the technology, which can promote development in the long run.for future technological innovation.
On the contrary, if the court is left to do these things, they will not have the ability to do business, and it is easy to become complacent and not enterprising.
The royal family or the court does not need to participate in all businesses, as long as they supervise the collection of taxes.
However, some strategic materials are excluded, such as coal, iron and other mineral resources.
When conditions are met in the future, we will create a few state-owned enterprises. That is a money-making machine, and these are all trivial. "
Li Chengqian probably understood, "Brother-in-law, do state-owned enterprises agree with the Royal Company?"
Su Chen shook his head, "State-owned enterprises cannot be said to be Royal Companies, and the profits of state-owned enterprises belong to the national treasury. The profits of Royal Companies have nothing to do with the national treasury, as long as some taxes are paid."
"I understand." Li Chengqian nodded and said.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry! I will definitely find you a business that makes a lot of money in the future. If you are lucky, it is not impossible to get you a mountain of gold and silver. "Su Chen said, holding Li Chengqian's shoulders.
"Boasting!"
Princess Changle suddenly said something.
Li Chengqian didn't think so, "Brother-in-law, I believe you very much. Can you tell me now where the gold and silver mountains are now?"
Su Chen asked Li Chengqian, opened his mouth and said:
"It's too early to say this now, but what I said is true."
Su Chen couldn't say it clearly. He could say to Li Chengqian now: 'Let's swim over to fight the Japanese dogs, and the gold and silver mountains are there.'
Can he say this? Obviously not!
Li Chengqian wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly Princess Changle took out a deck of cards from somewhere.
"Su Chen, stop bragging. Let's play Landlord, there are still three hours. "Princess Changle waved the playing cards in front of them.
Without waiting for the two to agree, Princess Changle sat cross-legged at the table in the middle of the carriage.
Li Chengqian and Su Chen looked at each other, hoping that the other party would reject Princess Changle's proposal.
Su Chen shook his head gently, signaling Li Chengqian not to pay attention to Changle.
"What are you looking at? Come here quickly!"
Princess Changle urged.
"Okay! I'll come right away!"
Su Chen obediently came to the table and sat cross-legged, "Brother-in-law, what are you dawdling about? Come and shuffle the cards?"
Li Chengqian got up helplessly, "I'm coming!" He looked at Su Chen with a bad look.
"Brother-in-law, you have ambition!"
