The two of them returned to Wen's Mansion chatting and laughing. I don't know what Wen Erba did. The dinner was really made by Li Jian himself.

Li Jian has no airs about literature and art. Li Jian has been living in the literature and art house since marrying Wen Erba, and has long been accustomed to the situation where master and servant eat together.

The three of them were eating happily when a boy came in and reported: "Sir, there is a person outside who claims to be Su Wo Bu Xiang and wants to see you."

Wenyi said happily: "Please come quickly, uh, can you see he brought a gift?"

The boy replied: "He brought five carriages, but he didn't hand over the gift list."

Wenyi was even more happy: "Please come soon!"

Looking back, You Chongwen Erba and his wife said, "Someone has given us a gift. Let's go and see it together."

Li Jian said wisely: "He is here to give a gift to the young master. We servants cannot go and see him."

Wenyi waved his hand: "To me, they are all brothers and friends, not maids or servants.

As the saying goes, it’s up to the one who sees it, so go ahead and pick out a few things that appeal to your eyes.

I haven’t given a year-end bonus to Erba in the past few years.”

The sharp sword could not defeat the literature and art. After dinner, they hurriedly went to the front yard to see Su Wobuxiang.

Dozens of large boxes were neatly placed in the front yard. When Su Wobuxiang saw the literature and art coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and took out a gift list and handed it over.

Wenyi put the gift list into his pocket and said: "Brother Buxiang is so polite. If I go out again, it will seem too strange. I will accept the gift. I will also make arrangements for what I promised you. I will go there in February next year."

We will send troops, so don’t worry and go back!”

Su Wobuxiang was kicked out by Wenyi before he could say a word.

Literature and art didn’t give him any face, he left the money and walked away! The fragrance of Soga was so great that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but what could he do?

I have seen shameless people, and I have never seen such shameless people! They didn’t even talk about business, and immediately kicked people out after giving them gifts. It was really shameless! The sad Su Gabuxiang left the Wen Mansion in grief.

Go back to bed and lick the wounds of the soul alone... Wenyi, Wen Erba and Lijian divided the spoils on the spot and asked people to open all the boxes. The small courtyard was suddenly filled with gold and silver! Treasures such as gold, silver, agate, and tortoiseshell

There are more than a dozen boxes packed there; there are countless antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and sculptures.

Li Shimin, who was reserved for literature and art, came forward to touch and touch here and there. When Li Shimin was still the King of Qin, there were more treasures. Literature and art could be taken freely at that time, but they were not literature and art after all. Now the treasures in this courtyard are all his own! Wen Yi

Twenty-eight was not much better. He had the same virtue as literature and art. He looked at the treasures in the box greedily and wished he could hold them to sleep tonight! While the two idiots were selecting the treasures, the concierge boy ran over again and reported:

"Young Master, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe is here to visit."

Wenyi hurriedly asked people to move the treasure into the warehouse. Cui Zhiguo was very polite when he arrived. He went out of the house to greet him personally: "Wen is a distinguished guest. I am very honored. Please come in quickly."

Cui Zhiguo smiled and said: "Thanks to Mr. Wen, I couldn't come in person because of something important yesterday, so I came here to apologize today.

Please forgive me."

After speaking, let Cui Hong hand over the gift list.

Literary art is so happy. I just sent away a gift giver, and another gift giver came. Today is a good day! He put the gift list in his pocket and said affectionately: "Master Cui, you're welcome, let's go in and talk first."

A few people sat down in the living room. Cui Zhiguo said bluntly: "I was rude about what happened yesterday. I am here to apologize today. Please forgive me."

Wen Yi touched the thick gift card in his pocket and said with a wide smile: "What kind of language are you talking about? We are all one family, why should we talk about two different languages? Uncle Cui is too polite."

After the two of them exchanged some useless words, Cui Zhiguo got to the point: "I heard from my son that the candidates for sending troops to Japan have already been decided. I wonder if you can open another window for my family?"

Wenyi thought for a while and said: "Uncle Cui, this is not a big deal, and it is just to make some extra money.

Since Uncle Cui is interested, I have another business, I wonder if Uncle Cui is interested?"

In fact, going to Japan was just to express my firm support for Li Shimin. Since he has been recognized by literature and art, it doesn't matter whether he goes to Japan or not.

Cui Zhiguo immediately said: "Now that the matter has been decided, I won't force it anymore, but I don't know if Wen Xiang has any other business that can use my Cui family?

I will do my best to help you!"

Wenyi said: "I wonder if Uncle Cui has ever heard of 'sheep eat people'?"

Cui Zhiguo shook his head: "I have only heard of how to eat mutton, but I have never heard of sheep eating humans.

Please elaborate."

Literary nodded: "'Sheep eats people' is actually not a story about sheep eating people, but a story about a large number of people occupying land that originally belonged to the people in order to raise sheep, which eventually led to a large number of people starving to death."

Cui Zhiguo said curiously: "I've never heard of this. According to me, sheep are mostly raised by nomadic people in the north. We in the Tang Dynasty also have pastures, but they are few in number, and there has never been a case of 'sheep eating people'.

I wonder where you heard about Wen Xiang?”

Wenyi waved his hand and said: "The origin of this story is not the key, but the incident of 'sheep eating people' will definitely occur under the catalysis of something, and I just want to promote this incident."

Cui Zhiguo was horrified: "Xiang Wen wants to carry out 'sheep cannibalism' in our Tang Dynasty?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he reacted and immediately said happily: "Do you want to practice 'sheep cannibalism' in the north?"

Wenyi nodded and said: "Exactly, the northern nomads have always been a foreign invasion of the Han people. No matter how many times they are defeated by us, they will come back again, so I am going to use the 'sheep cannibalism' incident to completely control the northern nomads!

"

Cui Zhiguo: "But the grassland is so vast, but the population is extremely sparse, so there is no way a situation of 'sheep eating people' will occur."

Wenyi smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be as scary as 'sheep eating people', as long as they can divert their thoughts from fighting to doing business. Uncle Cui, think about it, the Turks are very poor compared to our Tang Dynasty, so they

Thinking of going south to grab gold and silver treasures, if there is a business that can make them rich instantly, will they still go south to invade us?

Besides, by the time they are all fat and fat, they won’t even be able to lift a knife, so do we still need to be afraid of them?”

Cui Zhiguo laughed and said: "What a great idea, I wonder how my Cui family can help?

I will try my best!"

Wenyi: "It's very simple. I have a set of design drawings of textile machines. You can use them to make a few more sets, and then build a textile workshop in your Dongwucheng, Qinghe, specifically responsible for purchasing wool and textile wool, and then wholesale it.

All profits belong to your family, but the price of wool raw materials is determined by the court. After all, this business is related to the stability of the north."

Cui Zhiguo was dumbfounded: "Is it that simple?

Can a textile workshop stabilize the north?

Wen Xiang, please don’t lie to me!”

Wenyi smiled and said: "That's because Uncle Cui doesn't know the pros and cons. It's useless to say anything now. We will see the results after your family builds the workshop. Anyway, a workshop is very easy for your Cui family."

Cui Zhiguo is eager to do something big. After all, this is a major issue related to the stability of the north in the future. If he can accomplish it, then their family will really be able to live in peace with the country! But who would have thought that?

Such a simple thing as building a workshop is completely different from what you imagined! Cui Zhiguo was still in a state of confusion when he returned home. He sat alone in the study all night without thinking about what was going on.

Exhausted, he handed over this task to Cui Hong and asked him to go back and build a workshop as planned.

Literature and art don't care about this. Anyway, history has long proven the power of "sheep eating people". I don't believe that when the textile industry develops, Turkic men will be willing to take off their gorgeous silks and put on shabby armor! The next day, literature and art started.

Very early in the morning, I jogged a few laps around the courtyard as exercise.

Then Wen Erba and Wen Erba ran to Dongshi and drank a bowl of fragrant mutton soup, and then walked to Shangshu Province with small steps.

Now Wenyi's office has changed a lot. There is an extra-long table right in front of the door. Anyone who submits memorials must be placed one by one according to the categories written on the table. Wang Sansi then scans the memorials again and hands them to Wenyi in order.

Wenyi approved the plan according to the plan that appeared on the screen. His efficiency was so high that Changsun Wuji was extremely envious. The four deputy prime ministers approved more memorials in one day than Wenyi could handle in one morning, which exhausted them to death.

A few of them even came to see Wenyi specifically for this matter, and Wenyi agreed simply: "Okay, as long as the Ministry of Accounts allocates 50 million taels of silver, I will definitely help you all install the most advanced office equipment!"

Since Xiao Yu became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he has become very cunning. Even when he buys things on the street, he can argue with vendors for a long time just because of a penny. What's more, when Wen Yi opens his mouth, he pays 50 million taels! He is just short of killing Wen Yi with one mouthful.

He said that he would not spend a penny on this matter! He also said that literature and art are all done with his own money. If you want to save trouble, you should also pay for it yourself! As a result, several ministers and the prime minister started fighting over literature and art.

.. In the end, it was Wen Yi’s words that calmed the war between the two sides. Wen Yi stopped a few people and said: “Uncles, please don’t get angry over trivial matters. I have a piece of news for you. Let’s sit down and calm down.”

After everyone was ready again, Wen Yicai continued: "Next year is the first year of the construction of Datang. I plan to build a 'Chang'an New City' outside Chang'an after the production of various machinery is almost complete. There is a building called the 'Capitol Building'

, specially prepared for our office.

I will install the most advanced office equipment in it by then, so uncle, please don't be impatient."

Changsun Wuji frowned and asked: "New Chang'an?

Why haven’t I heard you say that before?”

Literary Art: "When the five-year plan was formulated, things were too complicated. I only remembered it in the past few days. After all, everyone is now producing new equipment and new products according to the design drawings I gave. If there is no pilot, it will be risky to implement it nationwide.

Too big.
