The big man has a living father

Chapter 63 Everyone is a Business Savvy

Liu Che was thinking about the problem while eating.

After Huo Hai took over, the development of Chang'an County far exceeded Liu Che's imagination.

It can be said that the effect is immediate.

Although the main contributor is the coal mine, wasn’t the coal mine also something created by Huo Hai?
It's only been a few days, but Chang'an has changed a lot.

If it continues for three to five years, what will the situation be like then?
But Huo Hai was thinking about the present.

Huo Hai was anxious and wanted to make money.

As soon as the inspection was over, Huo Hai immediately wanted to return to the Huo Mansion!
There are business opportunities everywhere on this street!
At this time, Liu Che saw the drivers standing around eating, and he showed a rare kind expression: "I heard that after Huo Hai became a lieutenant, your income has increased a lot? Now you have money to eat well, are you touched?"

Drivers: Dare not move.

Liu Che looked at a group of coachmen who wanted to speak but did not dare to, and was thinking about how to choose someone to speak.

Huo Hai: "If you want to speak, raise your hand."

One of the drivers raised his hand and swallowed hard.

Liu Che extended his hand like a kind father: "Please speak."

The driver swallowed the steamed bun with great difficulty and said, "Your Majesty, you ordered us to continue eating, but... I really can't hold on any longer. If I hold on any longer, I'll die..."

Liu Che's smile froze on his face.

I ordered you to continue eating, does that mean you should continue eating?

"Ahem, my order is that you can continue to eat and don't have to avoid the officials, not that you have to eat all the time. Who gave you the order? How come you can't convey a single order clearly?"

Zhao Polu raised his hand: "Your Majesty, I."

Liu Che wanted to reprimand him, but then he remembered that he had come here specifically to visit the families of the soldiers who had gone to the north. What would it mean to reprimand Zhao Polu? So the reward turned into a reprimand, right?
Liu Che: "I mean, who was the one who delivered the order before Zhao Aiqing?"

Huo Qubing raised his hand: "Your Majesty, I."

Liu Che wanted to reprimand him again, but when he saw Huo Qubing, he lost his temper and continued: "I want to ask, before Qubing, who passed on the order?"

Eunuch Wang looked around and saw everyone raising their hands to speak.

Then he raised his hand: "Your Majesty, it's me."

Liu Che stood up and kicked him: "How stupid! You can't even pass on an imperial decree."

The group of rickshaw drivers breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to hold on, while watching Eunuch Wang make a fool of himself.

Eunuch Wang felt very aggrieved.

I am relaying your original words, Your Majesty! I have not changed a single word!
Huo Hai smiled and said, "Congratulations, Eunuch Wang. His Majesty loves you and wants you to learn the standard procedures for delivering imperial edicts so that the oral instructions can be confirmed as standard orders. He wants to make great use of you!"

Wang Nei Shi’s ugly face looked better.

Of course, Liu Che didn't intend to really punish anyone. He was just pretending, and continued with a fatherly smile: "If you have finished eating, you can continue to deliver goods. Don't delay your livelihood."

"I still hope that you can create for me and the Han Dynasty..."

Liu Che got stuck here, because these people were actually working for him. When he thought of this, he began to calculate how much money one person could make for him in a day. Once he started calculating, he couldn't stop and the CPU memory was full.

Huo Hai said, "Did you hear clearly? His Majesty said that you should be the people of the Han Dynasty and the pillars of the Han Dynasty. I hope you will use your diligent hands to work hard to create a better future for yourselves, your descendants, and the Han Dynasty! Applause!"

A group of drivers followed Huo Hai and clapped their hands.

Huo Hai waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

A group of rickshaw drivers got up and ran away.

Zhao Polu's wife was stunned: "I haven't paid you yet..."

Huo Hai's face froze in embarrassment. He couldn't possibly chase the people back and give them the money, right?

Damn, these people are really good at taking advantage! They are better than me!

So I could only smile awkwardly: "I'll treat you to this meal."

Liu Che looked at so many people leaving and continued to count, but the number of targets was too large and too difficult to count.

A duke in the crowd said, "Your Majesty, we have almost finished eating. Let's go on and have a look at the dock and the paper mill."

Liu Che came back to his senses.

Visit a paper mill? You wish!

You want to learn secretly, right?
Liu Che: "I think... there is no need for this, right?"

Huo Hai: "Your Majesty, I think it's worth watching."

Liu Che: "Can I see this?"

Huo Hai: "You must see this!" Liu Che whispered: "What are you going to do?"

Huo Hai whispered, "Your Majesty, if they can buy paper and take it back to translate the scriptures, I will lose."

Liu Che: "What if you lose the bet? What good will it do me if you win?"

Huo Hai whispered: "Doesn't the paper mill belong to the princess? Isn't the princess's shares equal to his majesty's?"

Liu Che raised his eyebrows: "Then... go and take a look?"

In fact, Huo Hai didn't dare to hold the papermaking business alone for too long.

Coal can be mined by one person, copper can be mined by one person, but papermaking cannot be done by one person.

This thing makes all readers scratch their heads every day.

You have to know that not all scholars of this era are Confucian scholars. Confucian scholars only account for 30%!
Most of the rest actually learned a lot of different things, mainly focusing on Huang-Lao Taoism.

Among these people who have learned a wide range of subjects, most have hot tempers, and there are also those who regard conspiracy as the right path.

If you hold onto paper for too long there will be problems in the future.

Huo Hai asked them to look at it to make two points.

First, if you can understand and learn it, you can make it yourself if you have the ability.

Second, I’m making it clear to you that you can’t produce paper of the same quality as mine.

The two points and one point are to tell everyone that I have a passive monopoly on this business, not an active monopoly.

The second is to tell everyone that being able to do this business is a skill and conspiracy is useless.

Huo Hai certainly knew that there were so many smart people in the world, and one day this technology would leak out. Even without leaking out, one day someone would reverse the process and find out the truth indirectly.

But these are not problems for Huo Hai.

Because... once one technology is cracked, Huo Hai can throw out a new technology.

Once new technology is cracked, Huo Hai can launch newer technology.

In addition to papermaking, printing technology is also next in line.

Even if printing technology is cracked, what about mechanical typesetting and printing?

After mechanical typesetting and printing were mastered, there were still technologies to come.

On the contrary, it is a good thing if someone can overcome this problem and produce second-rate paper. Only when there is a market can there be vitality.

There were still a lot of rickshaw drivers on the road, but since they didn't walk in the middle of the road, there seemed to be more people.

After walking for a while, Huo Hai and Bu Shi cast doubtful looks at each other.

Bu Shi gestured for a long time.

Huo Hai tilted his head.

Bu style lip movement: Almost there.

Huo Hai was even more confused, "Are you going to pee?"

Bu Shi: "There, we are here."

Huo Hai: "Frightened to death?"

Bu Shi said loudly: "Oh, what a familiar smell."

The ministers were startled and turned to stare at Bu Shi.

Everyone was confused: Is this guy having a seizure? What's going on?

Bu Shi had just arrived in Chang'an. He was neither a relative of the emperor nor a nobleman, but was born into a wealthy merchant family. Furthermore, he was a patriotic wealthy merchant, a truly patriotic wealthy merchant, the kind who donated half of his property.

If he wasn't a wealthy businessman and the atmosphere hadn't changed, everyone would be thinking about how to make money and no one would have accepted this outsider.

However, you are just a small lieutenant. Why are you making so much noise in such an occasion? Do you want to be the protagonist in a big show?
Bu Shi took a deep breath, looking intoxicated: "Yes, a familiar smell, the smell of green grass, a special aroma from the grassland."

Everyone looked confused.

At this time, on the other side, Huo Hai closed his eyes, raised his head, and said loudly: "Ah! It's the smell of nature."

"I know. It's the aroma of high-quality milk produced by high-quality dairy cows from the grassland!"

Bu Shi: "An expert!"

Those who react quickly have already been seen.

These two bastards are advertising!
