Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Zhang Quanfu's words made Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu feel a little unbelievable. Speaking of which, they are all landlords, and they all consider themselves to be relatively kind landlords. They will never bully the farmers below, and they will even take the initiative to reduce or exempt rent when there is a disaster like this year. It wouldn't be like opening a charity hall like Li Xin!

Isn't this equivalent to inviting the whole village to dinner and paying them wages? Is the Chu Palace so rich? Besides, that’s not the way to spend money, is it?

Qin Huaiyu couldn't help giving his thumbs up again, and said: "My father scolds me all the time for being a prodigal, I really should let him listen to these words, and let him know that there are people who are more prodigal than me."

Cheng Chumo smiled and said: "I think so too. By the way, Xinzi, is it okay for you to do this? Don't ruin the Chu Palace by then."

These two guys have no brains, so it's easy to make fun of Li Xin.

Even Chen Youlan was a little worried and said: "Brother Li, it's good to do good deeds, but..."

Li Xin raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, don't take me for a fool, okay? I'm here this time to see how the winery is doing. Let's talk as we walk, and I'll explain to you slowly. After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Quanfu: "Let's go, take me there to see how the winery is doing."

How could Zhang Quanfu refuse to agree, of course he even said yes, and walked to the construction site of the winery with Li Xin and others.

These years, houses are mainly built with adobe and wooden structures. Relatively speaking, houses with wooden structures are more expensive. Therefore, the main rooms of the factory building of Li Xin's distillery were all built with adobe. Thanks to the hard work of these villagers, the adobe houses are very solid. However, no matter how strong it is, it is of course impossible to compare with a house with a masonry and cement structure.

Li Xin knew how to fire bricks and cement, but he didn't have enough money to invest in it in a short period of time, so he could only make do with it temporarily. After using Erguotou to capture the first wave of income and complete capital accumulation, he may invest some funds in the masonry and cement industries. On the one hand, he can meet his needs, and on the other hand, he can also earn a lot of money.

Come to think of it, everyone likes good things. After seeing the power of masonry and cement, the nobles in Chang'an City will definitely rush to build such a house. In that case, how much cement and bricks can a Chang'an City consume? That's all white money. Oh no, it should be yellow copper coins.

Li Xin nodded while thinking. The men who were working on the construction site in full swing stopped what they were doing to salute when they saw the prince coming. Li Xin quickly said: "No need, you do it, your work, don't talk to me."

It's been a while since I saw you. Most of the men who looked a little sallow and thin when we came last time have turned rosy, and all of them are very strong. There are also many young boys who no longer have to worry about the next meal, playing around on the construction site, and occasionally helping the adults with something sensible, which is really cute.

Li Xin realized that he really loved this lively scene, the corners of his mouth were raised from beginning to end.

Seeing this, Chen Youlan smiled wryly and said, "Brother Li, didn't you mean to explain something? I know you are doing something good, but..."

Li Xin interrupted Chen Youlan and said with a smile: "Look, these guys are helping me build a house. In other words, they are working for me. Their labor creates value, and I pay them. It was a fair exchange, and I didn’t actually suffer.”

Chen Youlan obviously has no talent in economics. Of course, it wasn't just him, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu also looked confused, completely unaware of what Li Xin was talking about.

Li Xin sighed, and decided to give up explaining any complicated value theory to these people, but said in the simplest way: "If they help me work, I can build the winery earlier, put it into use earlier, and start Use Erguotou to make money. The conditions I offer seem generous, but they are actually nothing, they are all advances for later profits, and the advances are not too much.”

He glanced at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu with a smile, and said: "You have tasted the wine, and you two know how much money it can earn. I will give some of the money to the farmers, and it will be settled Their food problem. It's a win-win situation."

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu probably understood a little bit, but they were still a little confused. Chen Youlan was thoughtful, obviously thinking of something deeper.

Li Xin sighed: "I wanted to ask for more wages, but it's a pity that these farmers refused to ask for it."

Zhang Quanfu listened beside him, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, there are really enough. We peasants must be honest and responsible, and we must cherish blessings, and we must not be greedy. How many years have come across such a good thing in the past? Who is not satisfied? , will be condemned by God!"

Seeing the serious look on the old man's face, Li Xin could only sigh and spread his hands to express his helplessness.

"All in all, I'm sure I'm not losing money, and I'm still making money, which is fundamentally different from the two of you who are pure losers." Li Xin squinted at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, then turned to the construction site, He murmured, "Looking at the progress, it will be ready in about three to five days. The five sets of still pots ordered by the blacksmith should be delivered in two days. By then, the winery will work hard and can make a set in a few days." A lot of Erguotou, it’s all money.”

Chen Youlan was close to Li Xin, and could hear his words clearly, subconsciously raised her head to look at him, saw the expression on his face as if she had fallen into Qian's eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

Li Xin didn't pay attention to Chen Youlan's reaction, but turned to Wang Gui, and said, "Have you bought the shop in Chang'an City? Take advantage of these few days to tidy up, if there is not enough manpower, send the people from the Wang family and Cui family over there, anyway. I was going to arrange for them to work there in the future."

Wang Gui bowed his head and agreed.

Chen Youlan asked casually, "Are you planning to open a restaurant by yourself?"

Li Xin shook his head, nodded again, and said, "It's not me, but us. Your family also owns shares, don't forget."

It's good not to mention it, but when Chen Youlan was mentioned, she remembered that Li Xin had deducted half of her family. Her eyes widened immediately, and she wanted to say something.

Fortunately, Li Xin also remembered this incident in time, and quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I was just kidding you at the time, what is a 10% member, your family is the same as their two families, a 20% member. Didn't you also deceive me Well, let's even call it a match."

Chen Youlan snorted, and finally said nothing.
