Datang New Giants

Chapter 172 The crying child has milk to drink
In Prince Qin's mansion, Li Er rubbed the center of his brows weakly, and said somewhat conclusively: "Okay, let's make a decision like this first. If there is any change, we will discuss it according to the situation."

The one who should come will always come. I learned from the insider of the Prince's Mansion that the Prince's Mansion is now discussing how to deal with Li Er. One faction advocates sending Li Er out of the capital, lest Li Er win over ministers and curry favor with the emperor;
One faction advocates keeping Li Er in Chang'an. One must know that Li Er is the Tiance General who controls nearly half of the Tang Dynasty's army, or the Daxingtai Shang Shuling of Eastern Shaanxi Province. No one can stop him.

After getting the information, Li Er immediately summoned his confidantes including Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others to discuss how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

After discussing for a long time, they came to the conclusion that they could not leave Chang'an. Li Er was in Chang'an, and the crown prince was still so arrogant. Once he left, Chang'an would be the emperor's world. It's okay to give it a go.

In a word, Li Er's prestige in the army is extremely high, and no one can replace him. Even if he loses control for a while, as long as he raises his arms, the army will be brought under his command again. But Li Yuan is different. Once he makes up his mind, it will be difficult to recover. The fastest Fang Xuanling suggested that if the prince wants to let Li Er leave, he should adopt a proper way of retreating.

In order to cooperate with this operation, the confidantes in Daxingtai and the border of Shaanxi Province also made certain actions, echoing both internally and externally.

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "It's too hateful. When there is danger, the prince must charge into the trap. How long did it take to stop, and he fell into trouble so quickly."

"It was expected," Changsun Wuji said lightly: "The attitude of the emperor and the crown prince towards the prince is both fearful and dependent. It's a bit ironic to say that the prince and his colleagues can sit here now, but it's because of Turk's responsibility." blessing."

If it weren't for the Battle of Wulongban, Li Er would not have gained Li Yuan's attention, and Cheng Yaojin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others would not have been able to return to Chang'an smoothly.

Li Er turned his head and asked Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, in your opinion, what is the most urgent problem to solve now?"

"Money" Fang Xuanling said simply and directly: "The officialdom is like a battlefield, and now everything costs money, and the money and food in the house...is running out."

Li Er has made countless contributions, and in the fourth year of Wude, the number of households in the city increased to [-]. In addition, there are many industries, with more income and more expenditure. In addition, Li Er is generous and does not have much money. The Prince's Mansion has In response, the finances that were not rich in the first place quickly became stretched.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, the gap is so big, Fang Xuanling can't do anything about it.

"Don't worry, the king has made preparations for the matter of money early in the morning, and it will be in place within ten days. When it comes to spending money, you must not be stingy." Li Er said confidently.

After many years of fighting, he captured countless things. Li Er didn't put everything into the national treasury. He secretly transferred a batch for later use. It has not been used before. Now it is a critical time, and it will be too late if you don't take it.

At the beginning of last year, the Prince Qin's Mansion began to run out of money and food, and they all moved left and right. Fang Xuanling had a big hole when he picked it up, and he did his best to maintain it now.

Fang Xuanling said happily: "My lord has taken precautions against rainy days, and my subordinates admire him."

As the chief steward of Prince Qin's Mansion, Fang Xuanling knew the importance of money, knowing that Li Er had a backup, he felt relieved.

Cheng Yaojin who was on the side suddenly interjected: "When it comes to the means of making money, there is one person who is very good, and I think no one present can compare with him."

"Oh, who?" Changsun Wuji asked with great interest.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yaojin, even Li Er was no exception.

Cheng Yaojin smiled smugly, and quickly told the truth: "Lu Ting."

"Master Lu?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously: "His poems are good, breathtaking, and he has a lot of wonderful ideas in his head. How can he make money well?"

"He saw that Xiaweitang's business was good, and he planned to open five more branches in one go, but he didn't pay a penny, just came up with an idea, so he paid back all the money for opening the shop." Cheng Yaojin finished. , Said that Lu Ting used the method specially designed to guide others to make monthly statements, and then recharge and donate money.

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yaojin said with admiration: "I knew that he wanted to expand the scale, and I prepared a sum of money, just waiting for him to open his mouth. I didn't expect him to collect the money without saying a word. The most rare thing What's more, his trick also brought a source of customers to Xiaweitang, and the business became even more prosperous."

Li Er nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, it looks like a profit, but in fact it makes the guests more closely tied to Xiaweitang, and also receives a sum of money in advance for turnover. This kind of method also made him think of it, it is really clever."

It is a smart person to use other people's money to make money.

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "It's really a fantastic idea, this Lu Ting is amazing."

When Du Ruhui saw his son hanging out with Lu Ting before, Du Ruhui didn't say anything. In fact, he was afraid that Du He would lead Lu Ting astray, and he was also afraid that his son would be taken advantage of by Lu Ting. I wanted to get it back, but later I saw that there was not much money, and there was no next step. Looking at it now, fortunately, I didn't stop it that day, or I really regretted it.

Xiaweitang, the second child has [-]% of the share, the popularity of Xiaweitang, Du Ruhui has long known that if five more restaurants are opened, there will be six Xiaweitangs in Chang'an, the plate is bigger, and the income is also more. The benefits brought are absolutely considerable.

With Lu Ting's cleverness and wit, it was not necessarily for the money that day, but for the sake of his friends. Well, it seems that he owes Lu Ting another favor.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said, "It's such an empty-handed white wolf, Mr. Lu is really a talent."

"Of course." Cheng Yaojin rushed to say, "If you are a universal person, can you be qualified to be the prince's disciple?"

Everyone laughed, including Li Er.

Li Er feels a little regretful now. If he had disclosed his relationship with Lu Ting earlier, people would say that he was a disciple of the King of Qin when they were reading the masterpiece "Appreciating Flowers". King Qin is both civil and military" these words of praise.

Unfortunately, the name has not been made public.

For some reason, when Lu Ting was mentioned, the heavy and gloomy atmosphere just now became light and cheerful.

After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed and went about their duties.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, Li Er was about to go back to the palace when a guard suddenly came in and reported: "My lord, Zhang Heng, the supervisor of Wuyitang, and Lu Ting, the principal, are asking to see you outside the door."

As soon as Lu Ting was mentioned, he came. As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, Cao Cao came.

On the other hand, Zhang Heng rarely sees him looking for him on weekdays, so why did he come with Lu Ting this time.

"Biography!" Li Er was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and immediately agreed.

Soon, Lu Ting and Zhang Heng saluted Li Er in the study of Prince Qin's mansion: "This subordinate has seen the prince."

"Free of courtesy" Li Er nodded and said, "Stand up and talk."

"Thank you, my lord," Lu Ting and Zhang Heng responded in unison.

After standing up, Lu Ting immediately gave Zhang Heng a wink.

Boss Zhang, the crybaby has milk, as agreed, it's your turn to play.

　When I checked some information today, I suddenly saw an expert analyzing the price of Tang Dynasty. He said that during the Kaiyuan period, the price of pork was 600 yuan a catty, which shocked Xiaopao. The pork price set in this book is 80 yuan a catty. Jin, calculate it, and finally stick to your own price.

　　During the Kaiyuan period, there was plenty of grain, and a bucket of rice was five cents, not to mention five cents. Even if a bucket of rice sold for twenty yuan, 600 Wen was equivalent to 30 buckets, one bucket was 12.5 catties, and 30 buckets was equivalent to 375 catties. The ratio of meat is around 1.1~1.3. Anyway, the bigger the pig, the more expensive it is. Even if the breed of pigs in ancient times was not good and consumed a lot, it would be enough to produce a catty of meat from 5 catties of grain. Pigs can be raised with 375 catties of grain. Thirty to fifty catties, if it is calculated at five dollars per bucket of rice, my God.

　　So, huh
