I receive courier in Datang

Chapter 271 23 Crimes
The Towag star who has become a boatman is ready to go out. He still has a lot to do. Staying at home is not a good choice, he must go out!

The first thing is naturally to get some marbles, use marbles to carve circuit boards, and make huge transmitting instruments to send signals to the parent star.

When he went out, he just walked to the middle of the courtyard when a thunderbolt struck him. He almost didn't dodge and confessed his life!

Sure enough, if he wants to do these things, the world will not treat him well!The flash of lightning just now is the best proof!

But a flash of lightning won't deter him, he has to signal it!This is his only chance to come home, or make this their colony!
The previous lightning was not unaffected, his right leg was paralyzed by the aftermath of the lightning, and he could only go out with a limp.

Not long after, I met a man the boatman knew.

"Old Zhao, what are you doing in such a hurry? By the way, someone is asking me to unload the goods. Would you like to go?"

He said, "No, I'm lame."

This is the second time he has spoken, and he is very skilled. He has existed in this world for many years, and he can naturally speak a little bit of human words.

"Okay, take care of yourself."

The inviter was a little puzzled, Lao Zhao was not like this before!In the past, he was always the first to snatch any job, but now he has crippled himself.

To go to the stone market, he had to pass through a busy market. The people here almost knew each other. Soon, he found that this was not good. He needed to talk to people, wasting time,

He found a secluded place, and his face gradually turned into the face of this corpse, a face that no one here had ever seen before!

A child cried in fright when he saw this weird scene!
The alien invader, who has no concept of good and evil, naturally wanted to get rid of the child immediately, but he had to put his outstretched hand back.

Who knows if lightning will strike again if he does this again. It might have been just a warning before, but this time it might kill him.

He had no choice but to leave here silently.

The child cried and found his mother: "Mom, I met a ghost! His face has all changed!"

The child's mother comforted: "Don't cry, it's broad daylight, where are the ghosts? Go and write."

The child sniffs and writes, and the home gives him a great sense of security.

Not long after, the alien came to the stone market. There are indeed some marbles here, but they all need money to buy, and he has no money.

"Can you owe these marbles first? I will get the money then." The alien said.

On Towag Star, there is no such thing as arrears, and of course, there is no such thing as buying or selling.

Look at this man who sells stones, he doesn't know him, he looks like a hypocrite, don't reassure him at all!Such a person still wants to get his stone for nothing?get out!
The seller remained polite: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. There is no deception. If you can't afford the money, then forgive me for not agreeing to you."

The aliens wanted to do something again. There were a lot of people here, so it was not the time for him to do it. Firstly, he was not strong enough. Second, if a homicide occurred in the street here, someone would definitely be chasing him, so it would be difficult for him to do the next thing.

"excuse me."

The aliens leave here and make plans at night.

I went back and took all the money from the family I killed before, but it was still not enough to buy marble. This family didn't have much money, and marble was very expensive.

This money can let him squander.

When he arrived at a small hotel, he asked, "What good wine do you have? What good food do you have?"

Xiao Er was very excited: "The signature food and drink of our restaurant, like the food and drink of Chang'an City, are all invented by His Royal Highness! They are the most delicious dishes!"

"Here, I want to taste."

His enemy is Li Chengqian. He knows many people, but he just can't understand Li Chengqian. This time, if he wants to understand Li Chengqian, he starts by eating his food and drink!
In fact, where is the food and drink invented by Li Chengqian?It's just using Li Chengqian as a gimmick. Now, as long as there is something related to His Royal Highness, it will sell well!

This is a really good thing that countless businesses have come out of practice!Anyway, they were far away from Chang'an City, and Li Chengqian was out of reach. They said casually, as long as they could make money!

What was served was a sumptuous banquet, with local characteristics, and the wine was also local wine.

As a newcomer, I naturally didn't know that these things are all local, and it has nothing to do with Li Chengqian. He ate very happily, and it seems that human beings still have merits.

Waiting for the arrival of the people from the mother planet, it is a good choice for humans to be their slaves.

After eating, he gave the money smartly and continued to be happy and happy. Soon at night, he found the home of the boss who sold marble.

The boss was a little surprised when he saw this man.

"Why, have you collected enough money?" the boss asked.

"No, I have no money."

"No money!" The boss lost his patience.

He shot directly, pinched the boss' heart, and then, the boss was absorbed by him, leaving only the clothes.

Looting all the money and taking the marble, he went to the stonemason's house, intending to have the stonemason carve.

This time it was not a one-off sale, he had to pay for it. Fortunately, the owner of the stone merchant was very rich, so he had enough money to carve for the stonemason.

If you have money, the stonemason naturally agrees. This carving is not difficult. Who can carve grooves on marble slabs?

After putting all the marbles here, he went to have a good time.

He used to watch humans do it, but now, he wants to give it a try, what if he has no money?Of course it was stolen.

It is impossible not to attract the attention of the government for such evil. The boatman's family disappeared and the stone merchant disappeared. At first, they thought it was a disappearance case. Later, such cases became more and more frequent.

At the scene of the murder, only the clothes were left, and the people were gone!
For such a big case, many people began to join the ranks of the investigation, the police, bad guys, and spies were all investigating.

His chances are getting less and less, and it is not easy to kill people again, but the money he robbed before is enough to squander, and his life is pretty good.

He killed a total of 23 people in just seven days!
Li Shimin even received a memorial, reporting the matter to him in detail.

Li Shimin was furious. Under his rule, there are villains so rampant!He directly ordered that all the recent patrols should investigate the case!

It took four days for the pigeons to come and go, and eleven days had passed since this person had done whatever he wanted before, and what he had to do had already been done.

It is the most difficult step to take the circuit board directly out to sea and find a suitable place to send the signal, and it will take him a long time to find it.

With the addition of police officers, this case has a clue. First of all, it is to investigate what is missing in the stone merchants. Finally, it is found that in addition to money, there is also missing marble.

When it wasn't time to ask why he didn't find out clearly, he hurriedly asked people to ask around, and finally found a stonemason, who told him about the fact that he was asked to carve marble with the generosity of the man.

Everyone locked on the target, and after further investigation, this person had already bought a small fishing boat and went to sea!Never come back!

This matter stopped for the time being, and the arrest warrant was naturally issued. There were 23 people, but no corpses survived. Such a case is too terrifying!A wanted warrant must be issued so that this person has nowhere to escape.

As for the portrait, it was described and drawn by some people who have seen this person, and it is [-]% similar.

Such a big case spread even in Chang'an City. After Li Chengqian heard about it, he was a little uneasy and felt that something was wrong, but he had no way to investigate it.

I had to ask someone to pass on the news and ask for specific details. This back and forth was another several days of delay.

When it comes to the opening day of the government-run shops, there are all kinds of things inside, and there are several stores in each square alone!
These days, there are many things produced, old things such as pots and pans, new things such as glass, and soap. In short, government-run shops have everything you expect!

As for why so many things can be produced so quickly, it also benefits from some of Li Chengqian's strategies.

He had people take over many small private workshops that were previously private and turn them into official operations. Of course, the workmanship and price of the products were all optimized.

At first this strategy was opposed by many people.

They were still immersed in the joy that Li Chengqian didn't seem to be planning to close their shop, but they didn't expect that Li Chengqian wanted to assimilate them!

Although the money given is quite a lot, what belongs to one's own belongs to one's own after all, and other people's homes do not belong to one's own.

A small number of people agreed that they would be small clerks, which was not a small job to say the least. They were still managing workshops, but they were just employed by the government.

In fact, it’s not bad. The money from buying a small workshop can be put in the prince’s bank, and I can still get wages every month. I don’t need to worry about more things, as long as I make the things I produce well.

This kind of life is simply too comfortable, a life that has never been seen before!

Some people received real benefits, and everyone began to accept this, and they all took the initiative to let the government incorporate their own small workshops, and they worked as small employees and received wages.

Only a few are still persisting.

Lu Zihou naturally admired Li Chengqian's strategy.

"His Royal Highness is indeed extremely intelligent. In this way, the money we spend is actually greatly reduced. These people feel that they cannot compete with our government-run shops. The small workshops are considered cheap, and the things in them can actually be used!"

Li Chengqian said: "What about those who persist?"

"I'm going to lower the price so that they can't drive it at all!" Lu Zihou said.

Li Chengqian waved his hand: "No! We can't lower the price! Not only that, I also want to support them to continue doing it."

Lu Zihou was confused: "Why is this?"

"If there are really no other small workshops, only our big official camp, then, do you think the price of the official camp will increase? Can the quality be maintained? There must be competition!" Li Chengqian said.

Lu Zihou looked at Li Chengqian and didn't know what to say for a while, how can he make money without monopoly?Unless, Li Chengqian's original intention was not to make money!
That's right, Li Chengqian's original intention is not to make money, but to let everyone buy what they want more affordable, so that everyone will work harder to make money, consume, and create a virtuous circle!
Lu Zihou had no choice but to say: "His Royal Highness's handwriting is beyond my ordinary people's comprehension, but I will go down and arrange it."

"Go."

Originally, these small workshops that stayed and continued to persevere would not be able to persist. Li Chengqian's support came, providing the latest technology, interest-free loans, and even brought Li Chengqian's words!
Of course it wasn't written by Li Chengqian, he couldn't finish writing the names of so many small workshops!

Immediately, these small workshops rallied their efforts to continue production, and they were about to compare with the official ones!
Not only that, he also organized a study lecture, and asked people to talk about the role of innovation in production.

Many small workshop owners expressed their incomprehension.

What's so great about the official camp?Just in the Ministry of Industry!The people in the Ministry of Industry are all great inventors. In their view, these people are omnipotent!

However, what Li Chengqian asked people to convey to these people was very simple: working people are actually the most creative people!As long as you have the will, you will not be worse than the people from the Ministry of Industry!

Although there are some encouraging elements in these words, and it sounds a bit unreliable, but for many people, these words are a kind of encouragement!
Many people, especially craftsmen in small workshops, have also started to innovate. Although most of them fail, there are also successful ones. There are so many people who can't stand the experiment!
In short, the manufacturing industry ushered in an unprecedented prosperity.

Li Shimin was a little surprised. The weather was getting colder and colder. Why did Chang'an City seem to be in full swing?he likes!This is the prosperous scene he wants!
Wei Zheng went up and hoped that Li Shimin could take all the government-run manufacturing industry into the government. He was worried that Li Chengqian had such a large industry.

Li Shimin sighed. When he discussed with Li Chengqian before, he really didn't expect that this matter would actually be done, and he already had a pattern of making money from the very beginning.

But he is really hard to speak!Li Chengqian also asked before, he didn't pay, if he squeezed, maybe he could pay more than half of the money.

It's a pity that if there is no if, Li Shimin finally decided not to agree to Wei Zheng's request. According to the proportion of the previous payment, Li Chengqian has actual control over the official camp.

Wei Zheng went directly to Li Shimin.

"Sage, it's really inappropriate for the prince to control the lifeline of my Tang Dynasty!" Wei Zheng said.

"What's wrong? Could it be that he will turn against me?" Li Shimin said.

Wei Zheng was speechless for a while, he really wanted to ask, didn't you turn against your father?

Wei Zheng said: "Or you can appoint a trustworthy minister to check and balance the crown prince."

Li Shimin said: "Tell me, who is better to let go?"

Wei Zheng said, "How about Ji Wen?"

Li Shimin frowned: "This person is the number one scholar, he should be of great use, to be a salesman? I am afraid that people in the world will laugh at me!"

Wei Zheng said: "Seller? Saint, this is the best seller in the world! The importance is no less than six!"

Li Shimin thought for a while, and could only say: "Okay, I promise you, let him help Gao Ming manage the official camp."

Wei Zheng said: "It's not about helping, it must be equal."

Li Shimin said: "Sit on an equal footing! You go tell the prince! I don't care!"

Wei Zheng said: "The minister receives the decree!"

Li Shimin rolled his eyes, Wei Zheng started to mess up again, but he didn't want to stop it, Wei Zheng's intention was good...
