First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 140 Making Money
...

Newlyweds, at the time when you and I are like glue, with high armor and armor, there is still some inseparability for a while.

Li Xiuwan saw Gao Chong's reluctance, so she could only smile and said: "Mr. Lang, hurry up, if you delay, I'm afraid it's not my second brother who will come looking for you again."

Gao Chong smiled when he heard this, and as soon as he left the room, he saw Gao Junya standing at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand.

"Aye, why are you here?" Gao Chong cheered up and asked curiously.

Gao Junya turned around, looked Gao Chong up and down, nodded and said: "You are still energetic, very good", and then passed the scroll in your hand, "I will not read the order from King Tang".

"Shen order?" Gao Chong was stunned, and hurriedly took the scroll to read it. After reading it, he shook his head and smiled wryly, "Is it true that Tang Wang can't find a reason?"

It turned out that this was the punishment for Li Yuan's belatedness. According to the system, the New Year's holiday is seven days, as Xue Daoheng said in his poem: "It's only seven days since spring comes, and it's been two years since I left home." Yue didn't go to the army for duty.

Li Yuan used the excuse that Gao Chong was negligent in his official duties, and ordered Gao Chong to be fined for three months.

This so-called order is not painful or itchy. In fact, the supervision system is not strict now. At least Gao Chong knows that Liu Hongji will not go to the army to apply for a job every now and then.

And during the new year, Gao Chong married the daughter of Tang Wang, so it was normal for him to be idle at home for a while.

And Li Yuan is obviously making a fuss out of a molehill, deliberately doing it for others to see, "This king is also strict with his new son-in-law", but in fact it is not too strict. What's more, it doesn't matter, the majestic Duke of Yan's mansion has its own food town, so how can it be short of his salary for three months.

"Just to make a formality, I heard that Dou Lukuan has been closed for several days and has not seen any visitors." Gao Junya also shook his head and smiled, and then his face became serious, "Five days later, the Eastern Expeditionary Army will go out, you Sima hasn't taken office yet, so what's the point?"

"Then Ayeji, do you still want to have a grandson?" Hearing this, Gao Chong immediately raised his head and said, "I got married before Lawyer Pei, and I will have a baby before him. Why don't you come back later?" Is Pei Xuanzhen embarrassed in front of you?"

Lawyer Pei is Pei Ji's son. He is still young and has not yet reached the age of marriage. Pei Ji once feigned anger and said that it was too late to have a child, which caused Gao Chong to take the lead. Gao Junya also expressed his pride in this.

Hearing what Gao Chong said now, Gao Junya's face darkened, and she turned around and left.

When he came to the camp of the Right Commander's Mansion outside the city, he could only see the military tents everywhere, and the sounds of drills could be heard endlessly. Gao Chong knew that this would be the team of Prince Qin's Mansion and Tiance Mansion in the future.

"The barracks is an important place, and those who come will stop." Gao Chong led Kaohsiung and other soldiers to the gate of the camp, but they were stopped.

Gao Chong stopped at the horse immediately, took out his waist card and asked Kaohsiung to pass it over. After some investigations, the guards at the camp gate still did not let him go.

Not long after, Liu Hongji came out quickly, and smiled wryly at Gao Chong: "Sima, you haven't been in the camp for a long time, and even the camp guards don't recognize you."

"Brother Hongji, your army management is comparable to Xiliuying," Gao Chong also nodded in praise.

Liu Hongji waved his hands and smiled when he heard the words, "It just so happens that the second son is rectifying the soldiers and horses these days."

Then he went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, where Li Shimin and Xue Shou were discussing something. Seeing Gao Chong's arrival, Li Shimin said happily: "It's just in time for you to come. You came up with many methods. Come and talk to Bo Bao." Come in detail."

After each sat down, Xue Shou asked straightforwardly: "You Zhi, I have a question, please explain it."

"But it's okay to talk."

Xue Shou took out the booklet written by Gao Chong himself, pointed to a few lines on it and said: "Winehouse markets are indeed good for collecting information, but as you said, making people like wineshops self-sufficient to provide information can not only save money , and earn money.

Youzhi should have never been in contact with merchants. To open a restaurant, the investment is huge, and if it does not have some characteristics, it is extremely difficult to make a profit in troubled times.”

Li Shimin also nodded, "What Bo Bao said is reasonable. When I was in Jinyang, my wife also had some shops, which often lost money, and it was extremely difficult to make a profit, especially during wartime."

Gao Chong had known for a long time that the two of them would bring this up, so he immediately took out a booklet from his arms, "Second Young Master, this booklet can be called a treasure book for making money, and once the shochu and stir-fried vegetables in it are born, they must have made a lot of money, let alone one or two If we have a restaurant, it will be enough to open it all over the country.”

Both of them were stunned when they heard the words, Xue Shou didn't believe it, but Li Shimin knew Gao Chong's character well, and he definitely wouldn't exaggerate and say some irrelevant words. I was stunned.

"If you really collect money like this, you just give it to me, Youzhi?" Li Shimin asked with raised eyebrows.

Gao Chong paused, "The left and right are just some money, if you really make money at that time, you will reward me with some rewards, second son."

Li Shimin thought for a while after hearing the words, "If that's the case, then I will contribute [-]% of the capital, Youzhi will account for [-]% of the idea, and Bo Bao will account for [-]% of the implementation, how about it?"

"No", Gao Chong waved his hands hurriedly when he heard the words. Only Gao Chong knew how much profit it would be when the turbid wine was distilled into high-grade shochu, especially for places with bitter cold such as Turks, Tubo, and Goguryeo. There is a big market.

As for stir-frying, limited by iron pots, it will be difficult to promote it nationwide in a short period of time, but stir-frying is an epoch-making product. Once it appears, Gao Chong believes that it will definitely be loved by dignitaries. Whether it is shochu or stir-frying, the customer base is all dignitaries Noble man, from the very beginning, Gao Chong never thought of earning money from ordinary people.

And don't think that money is dung for aristocratic families. In fact, all aristocratic families in the world are equally hypocritical. While trampling merchants aloofly and looking down on merchants who smell like money, they are all run by family businesses behind the scenes.

Even Gao Chong's own family was the same. When he was in Jinyang, the Axue family let a few sons of the family manage more than ten shops in the city. Once they moved to Chang'an, they let Gao Fu and others buy properties.

What's more, if Li Shimin wants to establish a huge intelligence organization, money is definitely indispensable, and Li Shimin will never ask Li Yuan for this expense.

In that case, the funds from the national treasury will be used by the state. Obviously, what Li Shimin needs is a detailed organization that only obeys his orders, and the three of them know this well.

And relying on Li Shimin alone, it must be difficult to support such a huge organization, so when it comes to making money, Li Shimin also speaks out.

Seeing that Li Shimin was puzzled, Gao Chong thought about it and didn't know how to persuade him, so he said directly: "Second Young Master and Bo Bao come to my place tonight, I will bring out two things, you will know as soon as you taste it."

　Using the forging technology of the Tang Dynasty, the iron pot was completely made. Cooking appeared in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, but it was limited by the iron raw materials, and it did not spread during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
