I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 266 Industrial Policy!

Li Chengqian decided that it was time to write a medical book. His medical book was dedicated to treating some diseases that would not be cured in ancient times, or to explain the pathology of some diseases clearly.

He didn't know these things at first, but as his strength grew, he became more and more aware of these things.

Don't be in a hurry when writing a book. Take your time. He always feels uneasy, as if something big is about to happen.

"You go out to inquire, if something important happens, tell me immediately." Li Chengqian said.

Almost everyone in the family left and went out to inquire about the news.

He writes medical books with peace of mind. Many things are the essence of Chinese and Western medicine. They will be useful even in the future. As for his own unique skills, there is no need to write them. It is useless to write them.

Sure enough, this matter was not a simple matter. After writing for a while, he felt bored.

Looking for fun is naturally going to his own theater troupe to have fun. Of the two theater troupes, he chose shadow puppetry.

Needless to say, the reason is that dubbing is a very new thing, he likes new things, and the shadow puppets talk more than sing, he prefers straightforward things.

When the shadow puppet team saw the big boss coming, they naturally performed well. The shadow puppets were really vivid, and the dubbing was also very good. He always felt uncomfortable and unhappy.

"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?" the class leader asked.

"Indeed, I always feel restless, maybe I need to take some medicine, I can't give up the treatment!"

This is Li Chengqian's joke. If a doctor doesn't heal himself, he can't get an ordinary disease. Besides, this isn't a disease, it's just restlessness.

The class leader said: "If you are restless, go out for a walk, get some fresh air, and come back to sleep, maybe it will be fine."

"It makes sense, you can practice by yourself, I'll go out for a walk."

Li Chengqian walked on the street, he didn't want people to notice him, as if others couldn't see him, the street was very lively, someone was demonstrating the new kettle, the one invented by Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was surprised, the Ministry of Industry only knew about the design of this thing, and someone actually made it?
He also followed the crowd to look and found that this thing was the kettle he invented.

I saw that the person who demonstrated how to boil water used a little hay to ignite the fire, added firewood, and the water boiled in a short time. It really worked well.

The few kettles he made were sold out quickly, so Li Chengqian followed this person back.

This person went to a small workshop specializing in making kettles. Seeing Li Chengqian, someone asked, "Are you here to make things?"

Li Chengqian said: "I want the latest kettle."

The person who asked Li Chengqian brought a kettle and said, "Here, one hundred Wen."

Li Chengqian was surprised: "This kettle costs only fifty coins, why charge one hundred coins?"

The person smiled slightly: "Fifty Wen is this design, aren't you convinced? This is His Royal Highness's design!"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he didn't know what it was like. It was indeed an exaggeration to praise himself, but the price was too high!
He didn't pay attention to this when he was outside, but now he realizes it.

"You make kettles, does His Royal Highness know?"

"Don't ask too much, don't forget."

Li Chengqian said: "Forget it, I'll go first."

"ill!"

Li Chengqian decided to go to the Ministry of Industry to investigate the matter, and he went directly to Yan Lide.

"Yan Shangshu, don't come here without any harm!" Li Chengqian said.

"What's your highness doing here?" Yan Lide said.

"I was restless today. I went out for a stroll and saw a miraculous scene. I came here to ask you." Li Chengqian said.

"What's the matter?"

Li Chengqian said: "The design I sent yesterday is being sold today. Did the Ministry of Industry leak the news? I just told the Ministry of Industry."

Yan Lide was furious immediately, such a thing is not trivial!
If any confidential design drawings are leaked out, it will be a big deal!

"Your Highness, this matter is very important! Please also lead the way, Your Highness, I will go and have a look."

Li Chengqian said: "I have sent people to arrest people, I just came to ask you, do you know why the Ministry of Industry is not rich enough?"

Yan Lide said: "To put it bluntly, we are all artisans, how can we get rich?"

"This incident is an example. If you started making kettles yesterday, wouldn't you be able to sell them today? People are naturally willing to buy kettles produced by the Ministry of Industry. The quality is guaranteed!" Li Chengqian said.

Yan Lide was taken aback: "But this is His Highness's idea, how dare we sell it at will?"

Li Chengqian said: "Yan Shangshu, you are so confused! Since I told you the design here first, I naturally hope that everyone can rely on this to make achievements. Our Tang Dynasty needs some official industries, not only salt and iron, but also manufacturing industries. That's the point."

Yan Lide said: "We develop manufacturing?"

"Yes, not only armaments, but also everyday things can be made, and when they are finished, they can be sold and compete with ordinary workshops."

Yan Lide said: "Doesn't that mean that there are no small workshops in the world, only our big workshops are left?"

Li Chengqian said: "Not necessarily. The copper pot this time is an example. We can make it, and small workshops can also make it. When the time comes, the people can choose for themselves."

Yan Lide nodded: "The quality of our products should be good, and the price should not be expensive. Small workshops are either cheaper or better. This is a kind of adjustment to the market."

Li Chengqian was startled, and Yan Lide almost said the words macro-control of the market!Otherwise, he really thought this guy was from the future!

Fortunately, I didn't say it!It's not macroscopic or microscopic enough, and it's not something he, an ancient, can understand.

Li Chengqian felt less uncomfortable, perhaps because of his work.

Yan Lide hurriedly wrote the memorial, preparing to present the matter.

When reviewing the memorial the next day, Li Shimin saw Yan Lide's memorial.

"The imperial court manufactures a large number of daily necessities to control the prices of some items, so that the people can get benefits, and the Ministry of Industry can also make money from this. Has Yan Lide got the hang of it?" Li Shimin said.

Wang De frowned: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the Ministry of Industry to take the lead in doing this. They want to do big things, so how can they do these small things to win some petty profits?"

Li Shimin said: "Wang De, you haven't seen the seriousness of this matter! Although we operate salt and iron for the government, other things are government-owned only for officials, and privately provided by the people. The people want good things. We can only buy government-owned items from officials at high prices, and this move is to put a complete stop to this matter!"

Wang De said: "Looking at it this way, it seems to be very good?"

"You can also control the prices of many things through this matter. It's not that we set the price and the small workshops agree with us, but the price we sell it at, they have to be the same or even lower! This is a good thing that really benefits the people. !" Li Shimin said.

Wang De nodded: "It seems that Yan Lide is really enlightened, and he thought of such a good thing!"

Li Shimin shook his head: "But this matter is still a little difficult. It will inevitably require a lot of money at the beginning. The treasury can provide a large amount of money. How can I pay for the rest?"

Wang De said, "Should we collect money from the people?"

"Won't that ruin the original intention? It's all in our hands!" Li Shimin said.

Wang De thought of someone: "Prince..."

Li Shimin nodded: "I'm afraid he was the one who reminded Yan Lide of this matter."

Wang De said: "I will go to discuss this matter with His Highness, he should have a lot of money in the bank."

Li Shimin: "Go!"

In fact, he also wanted to know whether the money in Li Chengqian's bank could be used. After all, it was not his. If he used it, something might happen.

But the money was not used, and it seemed to be a waste of natural resources. I wonder what Li Chengqian thought.

Wang De came to the Prince's Mansion. Li Chengqian had been wandering around for the past two days, so he had to wait for Li Chengqian.

At this time, he was at Du He's house, Du Juan was playing the piano, and he was eating snacks and chatting with Du He.

Li Chengqian said: "Recently, I feel that something big has happened, but it's calm. This feeling is about to disappear. I'm very annoyed!"

Du He said: "Is it possible that one of your women has a child?"

When Du Juan heard this sentence, the sound of the piano stopped.

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "No! I am a doctor, and I know this."

Du He said: "What are you afraid of, the sky is falling, and the saint is still carrying it, we are still happy and happy!"

Li Chengqian was speechless, if the sky really fell, he might have to carry it alone!He is more than a little taller than others!
Du He's words, the sky is falling, reminded him of the matter of whispering in his ear and the marble circuit board.

There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this incident!Maybe it's something behind it that's playing tricks!

"I'll just tell you about these things. I encountered some mysterious things. I don't know what they are. Anyway, I don't feel very good." Li Chengqian said.

Du He: "I really envy you, my life is so ordinary, your life is really wonderful!"

Li Chengqian: "..."

Du Juan said: "Your Highness, no matter what you encounter, we will support you!"

Li Chengqian said: "I finally heard a word from someone!"

Du He was taken aback: "Don't I speak human language?"

"Negative emotion value from Duhe, +158"

Xiao Ningzi hurried over: "Your Highness, the saint is calling."

Li Chengqian had no choice but to get up: "Chat another day, Du Juan, you play very well."

The two leave.

Du Juan said: "Don't be careless all the time, help him!"

"He is so powerful, he still needs me?"

……

When Wang De saw Li Chengqian, he said, "I'm finally back. The prince is not in the prince's residence. Why are you running around?"

Li Chengqian: "Haha, I can't stay idle! I went out to drink with someone!"

Wang De said: "Wash your mouth! Don't let His Majesty know what you look like!"

Li Chengqian: "It's okay, I have chewing gum."

Although he doesn't use chewing gum.

Wang De wondered: "What is chewing gum?"

Li Chengqian took out a piece of Green Arrow chewing gum and handed it to Wang De. Wang De opened it and was a little confused.

"Since it's chewing gum, it's natural to put it in your mouth and chew it. If you chew it until it tastes bad, just spit it out." Li Chengqian said.

Wang De: "This is not bubble gum!"

"You'll know when you taste it."

Wang De tasted it, and a peppermint smell hit his forehead!
“It’s really a good thing to refresh your mind!”

The two went to see Li Shimin.

"Saint, I brought it to you." Wang De said.

Li Shimin frowned: "What are you covering your mouth for?"

Wang De said: "I ate something with a strong taste, and it's inconvenient to talk, so I'd better ask His Highness."

Li Shimin thought of one thing, that is stinky tofu, it really tastes very strong!
He said: "Step back first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian are the only ones left in Lizheng Palace.

"Why is the saint looking for me?" Li Chengqian said.

"Borrow money." Li Shimin said.

Li Chengqian said: "How much to borrow?"

"How much can you take out?" Li Shimin said.

"500 million guan!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin was surprised, this kid took the treasury?

"Not enough!" Li Shimin said.

"1000 sticks!"

Li Shimin was shocked: "You take out the money from the bank, aren't you afraid that the people will ask you for money?"

Li Chengqian smiled slightly: "No, the money they put in the bank, but not taken out, is mine."

"What if you can't afford it?" Li Shimin asked.

"Then naturally my father helped me pay back the money." Li Chengqian said shamelessly.

Li Shimin: "I don't have any money either!"

Li Chengqian said: "That's troublesome! Saints can make money!"

Li Shimin: "Nonsense! Can money be made at will?"

"It's you who asked me what to do if I don't have money to pay. I'm just discussing the facts."

Li Shimin was helpless: "I have known about your bank, and it is indeed a business that is sure to make money without losing money. It takes money from the people at low interest rates, and lends money to the people at high interest rates. It's a powerful technique!"

Li Chengqian said: "Unfortunately, there is still a lot of money in it that has not been borrowed. I am impatient! If the emperor wants to borrow money, I can naturally borrow it. The interest is a big discount! The more you borrow, the more discounts you get!"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, his son's business was doing his own business!
"What if I borrow it or not pay it back?"

"The minister there can only tell the people that I am bankrupt, and the money was cheated by the saint!"

"Slick tongue! Speaking of business, I have read Yan Lide's memorial, and I think this is feasible. In the future, the Ministry of Industry may be the wealthiest department. Are you interested in taking up an official position?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Chengqian is very familiar with this kind of grammar, what is good, do you want to...

The answer is naturally...

"I do not!"

Li Shimin: "..."

"Negative emotion value from Li Shimin, +188"

"What they are going to do needs money from your bank, and I will support it with money. What do you think?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's very simple, shareholding system, you pay a percentage, after making money, get a percentage, and I will pay the rest of the money!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin couldn't help but smack his tongue, if he is rich, he speaks hard!No matter how much he pays, Li Chengqian is willing to eat the rest!
But he thought about it again, Li Chengqian is so rich, it is actually his own ability, otherwise the people would not be so relieved to give money to Li Chengqian.

"How about this, what if I pay thirty, and you pay seventy?" Li Shimin asked.

"Father, this is a great way to make money! Don't you want to spend more?" Li Chengqian was puzzled.

"We have to keep some emergency money in the treasury, there really isn't much," Li Shimin said.

"Well, I will reluctantly become the chairman of the largest state-owned enterprise in the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

Li Shimin sounded a little envious, the chairman seemed to have something...
