Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 17 Bamboo Paper Shock
You must know that rice paper is extremely expensive, ten taels of silver is a knife, it is not writing calligraphy and painting, it is writing money!

It was because of Li Shimin's thrifty spirit that Xuan paper was not listed as a tribute. It was not until the Tianbao period that Xuan paper was paid as a tribute!
If it is listed as a tribute, the price will increase!
Cheng Yaojin's eyes rolled around, and he seemed to see a golden mountain for one tenth of the price of rice paper, "Nephew, come and sit down!"

After Cheng Yaojin gave up his seat, he pulled a wooden stool, "Nephew, I heard from Chumo that your shaved ice business is only going to be for this year? Then you are going to start making paper?"

"I promise you here, if you want money or someone, you can do whatever you want!"

Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and Qin Qiong were not idiots either. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had taken the lead, they all promised that as long as they valued their own things, they could use whatever they wanted!
Of course, Li Xiao is going to recruit some big bosses. He has never been alone in business, and he can't grow on his own.

"Well, four uncles, let's set up a business after we're done with this part, and we'll make a decision at that time!"

Fang Xuanling saw that the high-quality and cheap bamboo paper could not be used immediately, and asked, "Nephew, what are you busy with these days? See if Uncle Fang can help?"

"Uncle Fang, my shaved ice shop is going to expand, and I'm preparing to recruit workers. This year's weather is good, so I guess it won't be so easy to recruit people.

"Oh? Do you have any requirements?" Fang Xuanling was in high spirits, and hurriedly asked.

"Be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, just be obedient and don't get stabbed."

"Hahaha." Upon hearing this, Fang Xuanling realized that he was drowsy and encountered a pillow, stroking his long beard and laughing, "Didn't you just ask the right person?"

"Do you still remember the last time you provided improved wheelchairs? Everyone in the wounded barracks is grateful for your kindness!"

"As for people with injured legs, returning to their hometown is also a burden for the family. They want to make a living in Chang'an. There are many opportunities, but they can also subsidize their families. So many people are looking for jobs recently. Look, Uncle Fang Wouldn't I just solve the trouble for you?"

Li Xiao pondered for a while. People who have served in the army must be organized and disciplined, and even if they are injured, their physical fitness must be relatively better after recovery. "It's ok, Uncle Fang, as long as they listen to the arrangement, there will be no problem!"

"That's good. Apart from some people who are determined to return to their hometown, there are still 900 people. How many people do you think you need?" Report the exact number of people accurately.

"Everything! The more the better!"

"That's fine, it's settled!" Fang Xuanling nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll ask Yi Ai to bring them over tomorrow."

Li Jing saw that the old house was carrying private goods, and Fang Yiai had no connection with the Wounded Barracks, "Since my nephew is busy recently, I'll ask De Liang to come and work with you."

Several big brothers called my nephew so kind today, how can I not give face? "No problem, we will gather in the nearby courtyard tomorrow morning."

Not long after, the staff of Fenglailou knocked on the door of Niu's house with dishes, and the six people ate to their hearts' content.

After drinking and eating, the four of them walked away excitedly holding Li Xiao's three-character scripture.

Dizzy Li Xiao went into the room early and went to sleep. Although he had a lot of alcohol, he couldn't keep drinking, so he drank with the four heroes.

In the end, Cheng Yaojin, who had the best drinker, was almost at the foot of the table. They saw that although Li Xiao was crooked, but he didn't fall, they had to lose.

On the second day, Li Xiao got up early, washed up, and went to the small courtyard next to him after breakfast.

A small courtyard next to Li Xiao's house.

Right at that time, Fang Yiai arrived early with four former captains from the Wounded Battalion.

Fang Yi's heart was uneasy, he used to have a good time with Li Xiao, Cheng Chumo and others, but since he got close to the prince, Cheng Chumo has never had any friendship with Fang Yiai again, Qin Huaiyu and others are also slowly getting along with him alienated.

Facing Li Xiao again, Fang Yiai felt a little uncomfortable.

As for the four ex-captains brought along, they didn't have as many twists and turns as Fang Yiai.

"I said, Lao Zhang, according to what the imperial court means, is it asking us to sell that shaved ice?"

"It seems to be. I heard that the house minister of the household department is leading the line." Old Zhang, with a beard and one hand missing, said lightly.

"That's not the case. I have a brother who used to be a soldier under Cheng Guogong, and later worked in Cheng Guogong's mansion. I heard from him that instead of asking us to go to the store to sell shaved ice, he asked us to go to the streets to sell some popsicles." The old money that lacks a straight eye is well-informed.

"What? To be a shopkeeper, why not go back to your hometown in Hedong to farm!" Old man Sun, who was the first to speak, said disdainfully.

"Okay, don't guess blindly, it's getting late, this boss should be coming soon, others will hear!"

"Let me say, old man Li, your boss has already been called? It seems that you are determined to do this peddler's business?" The hot-tempered old man Sun immediately mocked.

"I can't help it. There are two children waiting to eat at home! If the legs and feet are good, I can do some anti-bag work by the river. Now I can't count on it." Old Li looked at himself limping right leg, and opened his mouth helplessly.

The three of them fell silent immediately. Whose family is not short of money? The brother who was injured this time, the younger one was injured before he got married, and the older one had to support his family.

If he went back to his hometown, he would only be able to linger on his last days, and would be a drag on his family. It would be better to earn a little money in Chang'an City, and save a little money to subsidize the family.

Li Xiao pushed the door open and entered, "Lao Zhang, Lao Qian, Lao Sun, Lao Li, is it okay to call them that? They were all school captains before?"

Li Xiao didn't expect that there would be silence and no one would pay attention to him.

All four of them had seen blood on the battlefield. Seeing that the owner in front of them was a brat, they felt slighted.

Fang Yiai looked at the embarrassment in the field, and could only say, "Master Zan, they are the four with the highest positions in the army, but after retiring, they will no longer be like this, but they are deeply supported by the brothers in the army. So recommend four of them to come and meet you."

Only then did Li Xiao look at Fang Yi'ai. He hadn't seen him for a long time. He looks powerful and not at all like Fang Xuanling's slender figure, but his face inherited Fang Xuanling's fair face. With a beard that just came out.

A pair of big hands with no place to rest, like a frightened little daughter-in-law, this is probably the result of being spoiled by that famous jealous wife Fang Xuanling.

No wonder Princess Gao Yang will be cuckolded in the future, this character may account for a large part of the reason.

Li Xiao nodded and said no more, "That's not much to say, there are two plans, one, do it for me, before the end of each month, and two, do it yourself, buy from me, I will set the price, and you sell it yourself !"
