Datang: Ten consecutive draws every week

Li Shimin walked around the brick factory and watched, but was shocked by the orderly working attitude of the hired workers.

Not being ashamed to ask questions is also a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.

Wei Zheng noticed that the tools here were labor-saving, and the work efficiency of the employees seemed to have some kind of pattern.

Li Yuanfang patiently answered Wei Zheng’s questions one by one.

Even on the issue of saving manpower, Li Yuanfang proposed the scheme of assembly line production and parts standardization.

Xiao Yu was involved in it and had an in-depth discussion on this issue.

Li Shimin listened to their discussion with two minds, but in his heart he was calculating how many green bricks he would purchase.

Well, he needs to make a clear attitude, here is what he covers, so that the nobles, wealthy families, and clans on the Chang’an side who want green bricks must pay for them according to the price!

However, Wei Zheng had fully recognized Li Yuanfang at this time, and also began to say a few nice words in front of the emperor.

“His Royal Highness King Zhou, this brick factory, is again meritorious and uncomfortable.”

“A large number of cheap green bricks, if the colleagues in Chang’an City purchase them in large quantities, they will need to sell a large number of bricks in five or six years.”

“There is demand in the market, whether it is when the farm is idle, or the displaced people who remain to work as a short-term worker, then there is a stable place to work, one article a day, thirty yuan a month, which is already a very high wage for ordinary people.”

“A large number of green brick houses and torches were built spontaneously by the people, and the imperial court could save a large amount of disaster relief expenses, which was undoubtedly a disguised lightening of the burden on the imperial court.”

Li Shimin touched his beard, and when he heard about the savings, his expression finally became serious.

Not to mention the recent heavy snowfall, even if it is an ordinary winter, it snows every year, thatched houses and rammed houses collapse every year, and every year a sum of money needs to be paid for maintenance.

With this thought, Li Shimin placed an order on the spot without hesitation, and had no other intention to save money.

“There are many imperial estates that need to be repaired, and the annual repair costs are very high, and this year, Xu will allocate 3,000 green bricks from the inner treasury to purchase green bricks from you.”

“Well, you have five brick kilns here, leave the output of two kilns to sell to Xuan, until the delivery of 3,000 green bricks, if there are excess green bricks that cannot be sold, let the Ministry of Works purchase with you.”

No way, the imperial estate is not only in Chang’an, the royal family has exclusive fields in various prefectures and counties.

Li Yuanfang said very speechlessly.

“Brother, once the news of your purchase of green bricks spreads, I believe that everyone in the city will rush to buy green bricks from me, and if they are remodeled one by one like yours, do you think the ‘surplus’ will appear in the year when it is obtained?”

“Well, the barren mountains over there are all yours now, and you are expanding a few more caves, so that the time for the ‘remainder’ to appear can be greatly shortened.”

Li Shimin was not annoyed, but happily moved.

His own business has already been negotiated, and how others line up, this is very irrelevant to him.

In short, Li Shimin returned home with a full load today.

In the evening, Li Yuanfang received the reward.

2,000 pounds of money, 50 horses of various colors, and the title deeds of several barren mountains.

Roughly calculated, the brick factory alone can bring him the least amount of benefits per year.

If the lumber factory and the ceramic factory make efforts, the dividends of sugar are calculated, and the income of the store under the name is less than 20,000 yuan per year.

Such a large fortune, fortunately, his status is high enough, and his special status can be kept!

……

Chang’an City, the residence of the Duke of Song.

Li Yuanfang only returned to the Zhou King Mansion yesterday.

Ahem, it took a day to rush homework, and it was dangerously finished at 3 a.m.

After packing up the next day, Li Yuanfang happily carried fruits and snacks, and finally went to the Song Guogong Mansion with a thick stack of homework.

One sheep is to drive, two sheep are to be put.

Xiao Yu checked her homework above.

The third son Xiao Qi, the fifth daughter Xiao Wuniang, and the disciple Li Yuanfang gathered together.

Of course, in addition to them, there were many Xiao family members of similar ages at the scene.

For example: Xiao Shouye of grandchildren, Xiao Shoudao and so on.

Li Yuanfang was undoubtedly the highest status present, and the only outsider who was not the Xiao family.

Fortunately, the dim sum of King Zhou’s Mansion is a must in Chang’an City.

Under the offensive of delicious dim sum, the Xiao family fell very quickly.

Li Yuanfang knew that his friends were all foodies, so he directly opened the food box containing dim sum.

One plate was handed to the teacher, one was handed to the little junior sister, and the rest were eaten by everyone.

Xiao Yu turned a blind eye to this, completely allowing them to make friends by themselves.

Xiao Wuniang was very pleased with Li Yuanfang’s concern, and happily took out a set of tea sets and began to brew tea.

“Fifth sister, why don’t you make tea?” Xiao Wei asked in surprise.

“The brewed clear tea is more compatible with dim sum, as long as the third brother has drunk the clear tea, the brewed tea in the past is afraid that it will be difficult to eat.” Xiao Wuniang replied with a smile.

“Uh… This, exaggerated. Xiao Xiao said undeniably.

“It’s no exaggeration Oh, dad is one of the special cases, don’t believe you ask the little senior brother.” Xiao Wuniang sold her father with one hand, turned her head and pulled Li Yuanfang into the water.

“Wuniang is telling the truth, the teacher blackmailed me with another jar of tea, and there is not much tea in my house.” Li Yuanfang shrugged and suddenly sighed.

“Why doesn’t the little senior brother buy a tea garden, if you have your own tea garden, you won’t be afraid that there won’t be enough tea to drink, right?” Xiao Wuniang asked curiously, she didn’t believe that Li Yuanfang didn’t think of this.

“Tea garden purchase is indeed on my plan, but I am afraid that the tea will not be enough to drink every year.” Li Yuanfang let out a long sigh.

Xiao Wuniang had already brewed tea at this time, and reached out and pushed two cups of tea, one to Li Yuanfang and the other to Xiao Qiao.

“Why?” Xiao Wuniang blinked in bewilderment.

At this time, Xiao Wei took a sip of clear tea, and suddenly answered his sister’s question on his behalf.

“Once the literati have drunk clear tea, coupled with the elegant and calm way of brewing tea, no one will drink the ‘unique’ taste of brewed tea.”

“The tea ceremony is about to cause a new storm, when tea is only in short supply, junior brother needs to prepare early, and purchase a few more tea gardens.”

“Otherwise, once the Maison reacts, you can buy tea gardens if you want, but it will cost an extra amount of money.”

Li Yuanfang thought about it carefully, and then thanked Xiao Yu.

“Thank you Senior Brother for mentioning that I have secretly purchased three tea gardens in order to take advantage of the rise of new tea and then tear open a hole in the tea business monopolized by the Maison.”

“Hehe, the ambition is great, but there are many difficulties, the little junior brother must be careful.”

“I know.”

“By the way, the little junior brother is very good at Yu Gewu, so the arithmetic must not be bad, I have a question here to help see.”

“Of course, no problem.”

The two brothers immersed themselves in studying math problems.
