……

...The second update arrives, Jintian is about 2 words, thank you everyone

Chapter 276 [The first product launch event in history]

In Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, Cheng Yaojin's mansion.

What should come, has come.

For example, almost none of the officials from the Tiance Mansion were present, and as far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen princes.

Not long after the princes arrived, all the female relatives followed immediately behind, no surprises, all of them were regular wives, and they were here to see Mrs. Cheng in name, but the actual reason was self-evident.

All of the above come with excuses.

Then came those who were supposed not to come.

All the families in Chang'an City have always been against the Tiance Mansion, and Cheng Yaojin was born in the Tiance Mansion, so naturally he was also hostile by these families.

There is no friendship of visiting each other.

However, these aristocratic families bit the bullet and came here today.

When they came, they all brought some gifts to show their hearts, and they politely handed over invitations from various families, with smiles on their faces, very friendly, the so-called stretching out their hands and not hitting people with smiling faces, it is impossible for the Cheng family to drive them back.

Therefore, those who shouldn't have also entered Cheng's residence.

Finally, there are some people who are not qualified to come.For example, those families with high or low status, or some Qingliu civil servants who are known as lonely people. These people usually have self-knowledge, and basically they will not visit a prince rashly, but today's matter is too important, so these people are thick-skinned also came.

In a word, today's Cheng Mansion is very lively.

……

The Cheng family's style of doing things has always been like a bandit.

rough.

She's throwing money away.

A courtyard was emptied directly, and all the thick snow was pushed to the bottom of the wall. The servants moved in more than a dozen large stoves, and set up more than 100 braziers in the corners. Then, the best charcoal was thrown in without money.

While the raging fire was blowing out, the whole yard was splashed with heat. It was obviously a big winter, and it was obviously an open-air place, but Cheng's mansion directly made the whole yard warm and harmonious through the most brutal methods.

"Things that money can solve, that's not a problem, so, money is really a good thing, ah ha ha ha, money is really a good thing..."

Old Cheng's face is disgusting.

Anyone who saw it wanted to beat him up.

But everyone's attention was quickly diverted.

There was a flash of a figure at the gate of the courtyard, and Cheng Chumo came quickly with a few juniors, passed through the crowd, and walked straight to the center. in front of the desk.

Everyone knows that this is the main event and Cairo is about to begin.

Sure enough, Cheng Chumo didn't hesitate to pick up a padded jacket from the table, and said loudly: "Uncles and elders, I know what your purpose is, but precisely, I also have this purpose..."

He paused for a while, held up the padded jacket and said, "Look, everyone, this is called a padded jacket. The outer layer is made of cotton cloth woven from cotton, and the inside is filled with cotton. As for how effective it is in keeping warm, everyone sees it." Just look at my father's situation."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Everyone has already seen that Cheng Yaojin's face is covered with sweat, and that guy is wearing three layers of inner and outer layers to show off. It is obviously very cold now, but that guy is as hot as if he just stepped out of the water It's normal to fish out, why this is the case, everyone can understand at a glance.

The reason for the stove in the courtyard accounts for a little, but the bigger reason is definitely that the clothes are too thick.

The padded jacket that Lao Cheng was wearing was really thick.

But Cheng Chumo put down the padded jacket in his hand, stretched out his hand to pick up another one from the table, and said respectfully: "This is a quilt, made of the same material as the padded jacket. As for how well it keeps warm, everyone should look at my father..."

The crowd laughed again.

Old Cheng was covered with a quilt.

The scene became joyous for a moment.

Next, Cheng Chumo seemed to be a product commentator, picked up one and introduced one, and all of them used Lao Cheng as a model, which made everyone laugh every time.

Finally, the most crucial moment has come.

"Elder uncles, elders of the family, I am Cheng Chumo, a member of the Youyun Gu family. I returned home today to visit my relatives, and brought back these cotton products by the way. Why bother to bring these things back? It is because we want to be filial. My parents..."

"Ahem, everyone, don't laugh, this is a rhetoric on the scene!"

"When the few of us were about to leave, Master once gave some instructions. Master said, we will face this scene when we get home. Those who come are all wise men, and no one will be fooled. Whether we No matter how appropriate the scene is, it will not be able to conceal the true intention of our trip."

"So my master told me again, it is enough to tell a little lie, there is no need to take it seriously, and no one will take it seriously. The main purpose of the few of us going home this time to visit our relatives is to lure various families to pay attention to the profits of the cotton industry. greedy……"

Li Chongyi next to him seemed to be in a hurry, stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Cheng Chu's silent clothes, and said in a panic: "Elder brother, why are you talking about this? This is what the master told us, but it's not for you to tell everyone words. This is a whisper between master and apprentice, do you understand what whispering means?"

Cheng Chumo seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and asked blankly, "Can't I tell everyone?"

Li Chongyi stomped his feet and said, "Speaking out is revealing the intention, how can you lie to everyone next..."

Cheng Chumo 'stands stiffly on the spot', after a long time, he suddenly turned his head and shouted anxiously at the people in the courtyard: "Uncles and elders, I, Cheng Chumo, made a mistake just now, I will say it again, and you can listen again, okay?"

"Hahahaha!"

The audience roared with laughter.

Someone joked from a distance: "Child of the Cheng family, it's already too late. You have already revealed the intention of the master, and we won't believe you if you try to change your words. Hahahaha, interesting and interesting, why did you accept you for such a shrewd person like your master?" This silly baby. If he saw this scene today, he might beat his chest in anger. Hahahaha, Gu Tianya has finally fallen into the hands of his apprentice."

The crowd laughed again.

The scene is more joyful.

Old Cheng jumped out suddenly, and shouted angrily, "Damn it, why did my son become a fool? You all shut up for me and let my son lie again..."

Everyone laughed louder.

Several princes from the Tiance Mansion couldn't stand it anymore, and came out with a sigh and dragged Lao Cheng aside.

Qin Qiong scolded with a cold face: "Cheng Zhijie, do you have any brains? Your child is a junior, no matter what you say or do, everyone just laughs, but what is your identity, do you also mess with it?"

Old Cheng looked resentful, and said: "This is the first time my family Chumo has appeared on a big scene, how can I, a father, not support me?"

Xu Shiji had been watching with cold eyes, and suddenly he sneered and said, "Hold your ass, didn't you realize that Cheng Chumo did it on purpose?"

"My baby did it on purpose?" Old Cheng seemed a little in disbelief.

Standing beside Xu Shiji, Li Jing also spoke slowly at this time, saying with deep meaning: "Even if your child is simple and straightforward, he is not a silly child who doesn't understand anything. The way he said just now is clearly a strategy. That's all, you think about it carefully, why did Li Chongyi interrupt Cheng Chumo's words in a hurry just now? It's not an interruption at all, but a special cooperation..."

Xu Shiji took up the conversation again, and said, "This is probably the trick Gu Tianya taught them."

Old Cheng suddenly sighed, and said with a wry smile: "These children, the city is still too shallow. Brother Gu taught them a good strategy, but it's a pity that the acting of a few little things is not realistic enough. Sigh, they are still too young."

Everyone was startled for a moment, and then they all reacted.

Xu Shiji pointed at the tip of Lao Cheng's nose, and scolded with a smile: "We forgot, you are the most shrewd person, in fact, you have already seen that some little guys are acting, but you deliberately pretend that you don't understand it. Impatient. You jumped out and bluffed just now, you just wanted to make up for the children..."

Old Cheng sighed again, turned his head to look at Cheng Chumo and the others from a distance, and said, "They're all children, and they can't do big things. I don't know what Brother Gu thinks, but he entrusted them with such an important thing. The burden is really heavy." It's too heavy for them to lift."

Xu Shiji and Li Jing looked at each other, somewhat puzzled by Gu Tianya's intentions.

These two are wise men among generals, so they think more than others when they encounter problems, and it is precisely because they think too much that they are easy to fall into misunderstandings.

But Qin Qiong seemed to have guessed Gu Tianya's intention because of his upright heart, and suddenly said: "There is an old saying among the Turkic people on the grassland that a young eagle cannot fly without being beaten. So whenever a young eagle has just given birth to the first When the feathers are hard, the eagle will ruthlessly push the young eagle off the cliff... If it falls to death, it will die in vain, and if it does not fall to death, it will spread its wings in mid-air."

Old Cheng looked thoughtful, nodded and said, "Understood, Brother Gu is going to beat up a few children!"

Immediately afterwards, he said with a worried face: "But isn't he afraid that a few children will screw things up? My old Cheng has basically understood the cotton products industry. This can solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of Han and female The major issues of food and clothing, and even the state affairs that affect and control the entire Turkic grassland. No matter how serious such a major issue is, it should be Gu Tianya who came to Chang'an in person to carry out this matter smoothly, but he is fine. Throw a few children out..."

Qin Qiong hesitated slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "This may be the difference between him and us."

Li Jing opened his mouth suddenly, and said slowly: "This is the real good teacher. He puts so much effort into training his disciples. He knows the importance of this matter better than anyone else, but he still dares to teach this matter to a few disciples. Cheng Zhijie Believe it or not, he must be prepared. Once the children screw things up, he will immediately use his back hands to make up for it. But what if the children succeed? Valuable experience."

He paused for a while, and said with deep meaning: "In life, nine out of ten losers. Where does the winner come from? It is nothing more than growing from beatings."

Old Cheng nodded solemnly, then let out a deep breath suddenly, and said emotionally: "It is a chance for my child to worship under him in eight lifetimes. With such a master who has worked so hard to teach him, I am afraid Mud and rotten wood can also be useful..."

Several princes felt the same way.

……

At this time there was another movement over there, but it was Cheng Chumo who seemed to be ashamed and angry, suddenly yelled, and tears rolled down his face.

Lao Cheng and the others were startled, and subconsciously wanted to overthrow all the conjectures just now. After all, the child was crying, and acting can't be so realistic.

However, Cheng Chumo yelled again, wailing loudly and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he rushed out of the yard. The crowd heard the cries louder outside the yard, and they cried out sadly: "Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" .You entrusted me with such an important matter, but I leaked the secret at the beginning. What to do, what to do..."

"Hundreds of thousands of Han women in the Land of Nether Clouds are all looking forward to the cotton industry. If this industry is gone, they will have to continue to suffer from hunger."

"They can't earn money, and they have nothing to rely on for the rest of their lives. Even if they marry someone, they will feel inferior. What to do, what to do, this is my sin, and I, Cheng Chumo, have a serious sin."

"I still remember that when I was about to leave, a little girl stopped in front of my horse. She blinked her eyes full of expectation. She asked me pitifully if this trip would be successful. She wanted to live like that. Do it, she hopes that the master's textile workshop will open early, but, but, the workshop needs a lot of cotton, and the land of dark clouds must plant hundreds of thousands of mu of cotton..."

"Master told me in secret that 150 million mu is needed to guarantee the minimum. If this amount cannot be reached, the textile industry will not be able to start. Even if the workshop is built, it can only be empty there. Even if it is a Han The women are recruited, but they have no work to do. The premise of everything is to attract various families to grow cotton. If everyone does not come, this will not be possible."

"That's why Master asked us to go home to visit our relatives, and brought cotton products to lure everyone out of greed. Only when everyone sees the benefits, will they be able to help us..."

"Because, with our You Yun's little manpower, we can't do this at all."

"If it fails, let me screw it up. Hundreds of thousands of men and women will be trapped because of me. They will starve to death. They will definitely starve to death."

The cry is sad, and the listener's heart is broken.

……

The progress of the matter seemed to be unexpected, and it seemed that the plan of taking care of Tianya could not be carried out.

Cheng Chumo's cries continued to spread into the courtyard, and Lao Cheng was the first one who couldn't bear it any longer. He suddenly roared and shouted: "Son, don't cry, our Cheng family will send people to the land of Youyun to plant even if we sell everything. Cotton. Isn’t it the bottom line of 150 million mu? Your father, I will help you to ask for help... There are so many officials in Tiance Mansion, and I will bow my head from house to house. At worst, I will keep changing favors for the rest of my life. Is there a lack of favor? My child, don't cry, the Cheng family gritted their teeth and held on to this matter."

Another Qin Qiong took the initiative to speak, and said in a deep voice: "The old man's family is not considered rich, but the Qin family will not stand idly by in this matter. Before that, there were rumors in Chang'an City that His Majesty approved the share of [-] mu. It is said that someone The princess begged hard, so His Majesty was soft-hearted, but now it seems that this is clearly His Majesty cooperating with Youyun Land. The so-called approving [-] mu of shares is not a generous gift, but each family must plant at least [-] mu of land. To meet the demand, since this is the case, the Qin family will plant [-] mu of it, regardless of whether the cotton industry is profitable or not, it is worth it just for the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of Han women..."

Shandong Qin Shubao is really affectionate.

But no one expected that at this time someone from the family suddenly spoke up, and what he said was quite unexpected.

Chapter 277 [The Existence Meaning of Aristocratic Family]

But seeing an old man walking slowly to the door, he beckoned silently to Cheng Chu with a friendly face, and said with a smile: "Cheng family's baby, don't cry, if the old man's guess is right, your crying is still yours." The strategy Master taught you, right?"

"Your master really understands people's hearts, but he also knows that all people in the world cannot be fools, so no matter how sophisticated the strategy is, someone will always see the clues. Therefore, he specially taught you This howling..."

"It's really a good way to touch people with emotion. I have to say that I was moved this time."

"Children of the Cheng family, please remember that although the family is known as the bell, and even though the family will rush forward when it sees benefits, we are not all hard-hearted people."

"As long as there is a person in this world, he has his own soft heart, and the richer he is, the more he is willing to do good. For example, a beggar appeared on the street in Chang'an, his body was dirty, and he was dying of hunger. At this time, a rich man and a poor man saw it, which one do you think will save the beggar first?"

"Baby, let me tell you, it must be the rich man who first took out a few copper coins and threw them over."

"And what about the poor man? He may even secretly take a few copper coins thrown by the rich man to the beggar..."

"The so-called poor people make money, and the rich increase their conscience. In fact, this statement does not determine who praises and who criticizes. It is a mentality that arises when people are forced to live in the world. If a person is poor and anxious, he can do anything. Only when people are rich can they be qualified to show their softness."

"It's just that people in our family are rich for more than a few generations, and our willingness to do good is more than that of the poor..."

"Maybe you will refute, thinking that this old man is playing high-profile. You may even take your master's situation as an example, thinking that your master never received relief when he was young, such as the Miyun Sun family, he never rescued your master ,right?"

"Children of the Cheng family, let me tell you that the Sun family in Miyun actually helped your master, and it can even be said that they helped many people in Miyun County. Although the Sun family is extremely harsh and treats the poor in an oppressive way, after all, they are Give the common people a little work when they are out of reach."

"In the old world, hiring people to work meant giving people a bite to eat. It is because of that bite that your master survived to become Lord Youyun today."

"We don't deny that your master has always hated the Miyun Sun family, but is he grateful? The old man thinks he is also grateful. He is such a shrewd person that he understands why he survived better than anyone else. Therefore, in his heart There will definitely be gratitude.”

"If he didn't have this gratitude in his heart, do you think the Sun family in Miyun can survive until today? Your master would have knocked the dust down long ago, and I'm afraid the whole family would not be able to survive. Fan Yang Lu's family is strong enough, isn't it? There are five surnames and seven surnames, but where is the current Fan Yang and Lu family? Once a so-called horse bandit crossed the border, they discouraged them from staying."

"The powerful Lu family disappeared overnight, but the small family of the Sun family in Miyun has survived until today."

"This is precisely because your master is grateful to the Miyun Sun family."

"The Sun family squeezed him, but the Sun family's relief kept him alive, so he left room for revenge"

"I told you so much, I didn't want to argue for the aristocratic family. After all, you are just a little guy, and it is meaningless to convince you. The reason why the old man is so rambling is because I want you to understand one thing. That is, the aristocratic family has a stronger heart for doing good than the poor..."

"And this is exactly the real intention of your master to let you cry in front of us."

"Gu Tianya really thinks through people's hearts. He knows that our family pays attention to interests, but once things in the world involve interests, he can't help bargaining. If it's on other things, he has enough energy to grind with us. , until we lose our temper, and until we obediently follow his path..."
