When she arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion, she drank a full cup of tea before she had time to speak.
"These scholars in the capital are really good at debating. They can talk about anything." Su Xiaoxue, who was sitting on a chair, said to Liu Mingqi: "Take these two days as an example. They could also have a huge quarrel over the issue of ultimatums between nuns and Taoist priests. If I hadn't been there, they might have started fighting."
Su Xiaoxue likes excitement and watching excitement.
So I often go to some parties.
???????????????? But it¡¯s not the kind of gathering where you can just talk and have romance, but a place where you can really talk about current affairs and have real materials.
Now young people in the capital are aware of Su Xiaoxue's hobby, so she can be invited to parties where there are intense opinions and discussions.
In the West, this is called a "current affairs salon."
However, no one dared to attack Su Xiaoxue blatantly.
Liu Minghua¡¯s tragic lesson is still fresh in our minds, who would want to be the second laughing stock?
They are just thinking about attracting Amelia Su¡¯s attention now, and then wait until laterwhat if there is a chance?
Even if there is no chance, having the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River sitting there is definitely a symbol of higher class for their party.
Liu Mingqi smiled when he heard this, "The fact that the scholars can fight proves that they have blood in their hearts and have the energy of young people! If they only dare to use their mouths to curse, they don't have the courage to do anything, what a snarky scholar they are. , is the existence that brings disaster to the country and the people."
Su Xiaoxue laughed dumbly, "You are going to offend a lot of people! Those high officials, including the prime ministers and ministers, must be well-behaved scholars, right?"
"Including your father." Liu Mingqi added.
"My father is not the kind of submissive scholar. My mother said that he was naughty when he was a child. He was the tyrant in our hometown!" Su Xiaoxue said proudly.
The young man also laughed, "Look at you, a father who has grown up to be a bully, what is there to be proud of?"
"Bah~~"
Su Xiaoxue immediately spat, "That's because he was young and vigorous. Didn't you just say that? This kind of man will be successful only when he grows up! Look at how powerful my father was when he fought against the Japanese pirates this time. , how conspicuous?¡±
Liu Mingqi pointed at herself, "What about me?"
"You" Su Xiaoxue wrinkled her cute little nose and said, "It's okay"
When she said this, she felt a little guilty.
Because in this year¡¯s war, no one¡¯s achievements can exceed Liu Mingqi¡¯s.
Even if it is the long-distance Jinwu Guard marching into Kaiyue, even if it is General Xiong Quwei Li Nanyuan who fights with the Shiwei coalition at all costs, even if it is General Longteng Guard Tang Hui who is stationed in Tianshui and defends the last line of defense leading to Shaanxi.
Without Liu Mingqi, the Western Liaoning Corridor would definitely fall.
The worst place must be Jiangnan, which must have been utterly ruined by the three-pronged army of Japanese pirates - not only the wooden handle grenades, hell cocktails, and oil are the credit, but also the "Qi Jiguang Formation" soldiers trained by Liu Mingqi. of great effect.
So in general, her father Su Feng, the governor of Zhejiang, cannot compare to Liu Mingqi's achievements.
It¡¯s just that Liu Mingqi was unlucky. In order to attract the enemy¡¯s attack and relieve the pressure on Ningyuan City in Jinzhou City, he directly used the banner of the prince and used tokens such as Emperor¡¯s Day.
Although he finally succeeded in protecting Ningyuan City and annihilated more than 200,000 enemy troops, his achievements were still not worth his weight. He was demoted to the prince and crown prince and spent 10 million taels of silver to atone for his sins.
Regarding this point, students and scholars from Beijing, Jiangnan, and Sichuan all cursed the imperial court for being ungrateful and ungrateful.
Su Xiaoxue originally thought that Liu Mingqi would be hit hard, but she didn't expect that after she returned to the capital, she would do whatever she wanted and still be busy doing her own thing.
Recently, another divine item was invented - cement!
Su Xiaoxue followed Wu Yeshuang to see it. When she saw those people doing experiments, she was dumbfounded.
She has never seen any material for paving roads, building houses, and fortresses that is so simple and fast, and so hard as iron.
It is conceivable that with this cement, there will be no road in the world that cannot be repaired, and there will be no city in the world that cannot be repaired.
The key point is that they sell it very cheaply.
A pound of cement costs only four cents.; Liu Mingqi did not lie. Southeast Asia is hotter and more humid. Clothes made of linen are crisp and smooth, have good hygroscopicity, are particularly breathable and sweat-wicking, and have strong fat and heat transfer capabilities, so they are comfortable and cool to wear.
And it shrinks little, has strong coloring power, is not easy to deform, does not fade, is easy to wash and quick-drying.
With so many advantages, Southeast Asians after a thousand years will all like clothes made of ramie, and then there are cheaper synthetic fibers, and basically there are only clothes made of these thin materials.
Think about it!
There are at least tens of millions of natives in Southeast Asia now. If you sell them one or two pieces of clothing like this every year, how much money can you make?
Not to mention the Kushan Kingdom after crossing the Strait of Malacca! !
Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoxue immediately pursed her lips, "They are so poor, how can they afford linen?"
"There are no poor customers, only businessmen who don't know how to do business." Liu Mingqi laughed, "They have no money, but the island is rich in various materials. Let them exchange for the commodity minerals and timber we need. Different capabilities Will you make money? Don¡¯t underestimate these natives! If you really do this business well, it¡¯s not impossible to become the richest man in Dakang!¡±
Su Xiaoxue¡¯s eyes flashed when she heard this.
She turned her head and looked at the young man, "You just talked about such a good business casually? Are you really not afraid that I will leak it?"
"It doesn't matter if you leaked it." Liu Mingqi said with a smile: "My fleet will go to sea next year, and my four-masted sailboat will also join the caravan the year after that. I use large-volume transportation to go to large-scale The purchase price is naturally very low, and the trade costs are also low, and you will not encounter pirates In the end, who can compete with me on price? Who can make more money than me? "
"cut!"
Su Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at him, "You are so rich, but you still compete with those small businessmen for food? Isn't it good to let them do it?"
Liu Mingqi smiled, "If they can do it, they can naturally do this business, but doing business depends on themselves, not on charity from others! If the maritime merchants all do what you want, then there will be no business left!"
Su Xiaoxue then asked: "Then as you just said, you ate the biggest piece, what will others do?"
"There will never be one person who makes all the money, and there will never be one tiger who eats all the food." Liu Mingqi said: "As long as they can do well, they will naturally have room for development Don't ask me, They have to study this matter themselves, if it¡¯s all up to me, how can they be competitive?¡±
¡°Hmph!¡±
Su Xiaoxue said no more words.
She had made up her mind to tell her grandfather¡¯s family in advance and her father by the way.
Since Liu Mingqi is so confident, expanding the planting area will allow the villagers to earn more!
As for the sea trade matter, Su Xiaoxue couldn't be so big-mouthed and sold Liu Mingqi's business instead.
Just as Liu Mingqi thought, those maritime merchants had never thought of this before, which showed that their ambition was not strong enough.
??What support is there for such maritime merchants?
Only if they can seize the opportunity can they develop!
¡°This time, after Liu Mingqi starts the linen business, it would be best if he can motivate new maritime merchants to work hard to expand this business.
After all, the more people doing this business, the more benefits the people in their hometown will get, they will be able to have enough to eat and drink, and their lives will be better!
¡¡
I¡¯m afraid the young man now has never worn pure linen clothes, right?
I wore them when I was a kid, and they were wooly and uncomfortable, but now after blending them with cotton, I don¡¯t feel that way anymore.
