It's not a strange thing for Ying'er to appear in this courtyard. In fact, among Li Sheng's many people, Ying'er is just the busier. There are also Ma Zhou and others, but she still has to come back every once in a while to report on her work.
She saw it - because she recently discovered that Li Sheng seemed to be becoming more and more Buddhist about performance and other things.
After coming back, we also talked about business, and now we talked about "investment and financial management".
Of course, it was Li Sheng who started the conversation.
Of course, Li Sheng didn't care much about this kind of thing, everyone was just chatting.
However, when talking about this topic, Ying'er suddenly showed a thoughtful expression and murmured,
"Come to think of it...the price of calligraphy and painting has really gone up a bit recently, and gold has actually gone up a bit too...Sir, do we really not need to hoard some?"
Since Ying'er is the shopkeeper of Zichengzhai, of course she will think about these issues.
However, Li Sheng thought about it for a moment and waved his hand.
"You can just watch this kind of thing. But the price of calligraphy and painting shouldn't rise quickly. After all, in the current Datang Dynasty, the new..."
New outlet.
Ying'er may not understand this word...
Li Sheng realized this and felt that it was more clear. "New economic growth points. There are many new economic growth points, and wealth will be attracted to them. Calligraphy and painting... That's it. The price of this kind of thing will increase."
That was in the early stages of economic stagnation."
When Li Sheng said this, Yinger nodded.
But then, Ying'er talked about another thing.
"By the way, sir, it seems that His Majesty is building something called a 'telephone' recently. I don't know..."
"Telephone? Oh... I know this. There's nothing to say. Just prepare yourself and save some money."
Li Sheng clapped his hands and said.
Ying'er was startled and didn't quite understand why Li Sheng said that, but she was always a little scared.
The word "soft" makes people think of running away and being chased. But then Li Sheng shook his head and said, "This is not a big deal. Just remember to be ready to purchase goods when the time comes."
"Purchasing goods?"
Ying'er couldn't help being startled when she heard this, but since the young master said so and said it was not a big deal, she naturally felt relieved.
…
Just after Ying'er left.
More than ten days passed, and it was finally approaching the end of the new year. Although Li Sheng also considered having a drink with Lao Li and others this year, he still went to Youzhou to spend time there. He couldn't forget a group of fellow villagers.
Although the road was blocked by heavy snow and it was difficult for mules and horses to walk, the trip went smoothly this time because we were well prepared.
In the first few days of spring, the snow was still heavy, and Li Sheng returned to the vicinity of Chang'an.
At this juncture, Li Sheng finally heard a flurry of new things about the emergence of Datang.
Telephone!
Li Sheng heard this news when he was working in a tavern outside Chang'an City. It is said that although the weather is severely cold during this snowy day, it does not affect the people's continued hard work, and this can also be seen that Li Er and the ordinary emperor
The difference between generals and ministers. While the common people went to work in the snow, I, Li Er, went out to practice and practiced well to ensure the safety of this side.
But Li Sheng didn't remember before...
Two years ago, he met Lao Li and others on such a snowy day. What interested him were the topics mentioned by people chatting and drinking in the wine shop.
No one knows what the "telephone" currently being built in Datang is.
First, Li Er dug strange ditches all over the country, and then...then he filled them with strange copper wires.
It was actually impossible to keep this secret, and everyone soon knew about it. Of course... Datang was now a newly established dynasty, and the atmosphere was very good. There was no such thing as theft or selling of scrap products. But this matter...
There was a discussion at the beginning, but it soon fell silent, and it has recently been discussed again, because when it just started, Li Er didn't announce anything, so many people looked around for clues - of course there were no clues.
, how much hardware can the most primitive phone have? There is not that much hardware in the project volume, and of course there is not enough information.
As a result, people have speculated that this may be another national water conservancy project that Li Er is planning to carry out.
Good thing!
However, this ditch is too narrow, and it really doesn’t look like an ordinary water conservancy project.
So what kind of water conservancy project this is has become a puzzling thing. Later, there was even speculation that this water channel might be from some kind of Feng Shui bureau...
However, because it is about to be completed recently, the small canal is not the Grand Canal after all. At this time, rumors from unnamed official figures are also spreading among the people.
This phone number serves trade routes throughout China!
Chang'an is known to be a place with many wealthy people, especially businessmen.
After the news spread, naturally everyone paid attention to it. And gradually, people also learned about one thing. Back then...
When Li Er was digging these ditches, some businessmen got the news and sold some of their family property into fines.
What kind of fun is this? No one understands. Selling all the property and running away?
No matter who's first reaction, of course, is to run away, but at least they know about it.
They all happened recently, which is why the conversation in the pub was so lively.
And Li Sheng couldn't help but become interested. He looked at the diners beside him and said, "Brother, please excuse me. The 'telephone' you are talking about...is it the phone that His Majesty is building?"
Speaking of His Majesty, he immediately attracted some attention, but the diner was calm and immediately laughed and nodded, "Exactly!"
"Now the Tang Dynasty is rich and prosperous, and the world is peaceful and peaceful. It is changing with each passing day!"
When this person said this, the whole tavern started talking about the phone. After all, the tavern... there had to be something to talk about in the tavern.
At this point, Li Sheng couldn't help but say "oh" and suddenly thought of many things.
If there was such a thing as a telephone... it would be much easier to do many of my things.
After leaving this tavern, Li Sheng quickly went to Lingnan according to his original plan, and...
Zhongzuo Institute.
After a long absence, the preparations for Datang were completed, and the island finally had a new mission, and Li Sheng went to work on it.
Of course, since it is work... no matter what kind of work, money must be needed. Li Sheng quickly made up his mind that this wave of phone bonuses should be a good match.
Soon after this, Li Sheng began to take action.
But at the same time, Hangzhou on the other side of the sea...
In the flower hall of the Su family's mansion in Hangzhou, Wang Jing and others were gathering together, making tea and enjoying the snow.
Cooking tea and enjoying the snow while discussing the recent wind direction.
The telephone was built for businessmen, so naturally these guys have heard of it!
