“What can you grow that will pay you back in two years?
This is simply impossible."
Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling looked unbelievable.
Su Chen smiled and said: "What to plant?"
"Don't you know it when you get involved?"
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Li Chengqian had no doubt: "If the teacher doesn't tell me, I will participate."
"Anyway, you have to ask the teacher to help sell the spices on the ship. Whatever the initial investment is, it will be deducted from that!"
Fang Xuanling: "I don't have much money left at home, but I can scrape together a little bit."
"I would like to see how Duke Protector can make his money back in two years."
Su Chen laughed: "This is very good. After we return to the court, we will wait for His Majesty's policies to be formulated, then recruit a few people to join, and then form a Liuqiu Development Company!"
Li Chengqian, Fang Xuanling: "What to develop in Ryukyu?"
Su Chen: "Company."
"A commercial social group organization. I will slowly tell you about its organization and operating model later."
Su Chen developed Liuqiu not just to make some money, but also to set a demonstration.
Commercial agricultural production models and corporate management models will gradually appear in the future.
As early as when Guanzhou promoted industrialization and established the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant,
Su Chen felt the constraints of the bureaucracy-style management methods on Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant.
At that time, Su Chen formulated various management models that were very different from those of the Ministry of Industry and Supervision, but the implementation was not thorough.
Fortunately, although the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant is large in scale, its structure is simple, and the steel it produces is mainly supplied to railways for rail rails. The products are single and sold by only one company, so there are no problems.
If the Tang Dynasty wanted to further develop and its industry wanted to take off, the backward and rigid bureaucratic yamen-style management methods must be discarded.
Su Chen plans to take advantage of the opportunity of developing Liuqiu to gradually introduce some advanced production organization and management models. Developing Liuqiu is not just about simple farming, there will definitely be some in factories.
In fact, some of the corporate management models have been used by various industries under Su Chen for a long time, otherwise Su Chen would not be able to be so organized in so many industries.
Li Chengqian and Fang Xuanling did not ask further what Liuqiu Development Company was.
Everyone is still in Liuqiu and has not returned to the court yet. It is still early to develop Liuqiu!
Su Chen, Fang Xuanling, and Li Chengqian walked around casually on the shore again,
Liu Jingren and Cheng Chubi, who went to chase the escaping ship, finally returned.
"Commander, there are too many ships, and they are all scattered and fleeing. Even after chasing for dozens of miles, I still can't catch them all."
"And these ships were unwilling to surrender, so the general had no choice but to sink them, and in the end only three ships were brought back."
Cheng Chubi came back and reported to Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded, it was not easy to chase a ship on the vast sea.
"Throw them together with the prisoners in Penghu, and throw them all to Baiqisi when you get back."
"We are here just for a visit because we were invited by our husband. We don't want to get involved in other things."
"After Liuqiu is finished, everyone will return to Yangzhou with peace of mind and wait for the imperial court's reward."
Now that the ships that went to pursue have returned,
Su Chen didn't plan to stay in Langqiao at the southern end of Liuqiu. All the people here had fled, so there was no value in staying any longer.
After a night's rest, the fleet left Langqiao, but instead of sailing directly to the mainland, it headed north along the west coast of Liuqiu.
Since they came here, Su Chen, Fang Xuanling and others also wanted to take a quick look along the west coast of Liuqiu.
After the fleet arrived at the northern end of Liuqiu, it crossed the strait to Fuzhou.
Before Su Chen left Liuqiu, Fang Xuanling's 800-mile express shipment from Guangzhou to Chang'an a few days ago had already arrived in Chang'an.
…
Li Er lost his temper in the Zichen Palace early in the morning, and was still very angry when he returned to the harem.
When Su Chen was in office, everything was fine in Guanzhou.
Su Chen has just left Guanzhou for more than a year, and things have happened everywhere!
What made Li Er particularly sad was that he sent a member of the royal family to manage the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant.
Unexpectedly, in less than a year, these bastards almost brought disaster to Guanzhou Iron and Steel Works!
If Xu Jingzong and Liu Mo hadn't gone to the main hall and cried some time ago,
Li Er didn't know that Li Daoyan and several other royal family members he sent to manage the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant actually forced the craftsmen of the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Plant to rebel.
Empress Changsun rubbed Li Er's head and said warmly: "Your Majesty, many of the original steel factory managers came from Su Chen's various workshops."
"I'm going to see Changle tomorrow and ask her to call everyone back and stabilize the steel plant first!"
"The roadbed of the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang has been repaired, and it won't work without the rails."
Li Er couldn't get rid of his anger: "Don't you, the majestic prince of the Tang Dynasty and a member of the royal family, understand the importance of the steel plant to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Besides, Li Daoyan is short of money?"
"It's hateful enough to smuggle the pork from the Guanzhou pig farm to the steel factory to Chang'an. He even deducted the rations from the craftsmen!"
“How much is food worth now?”
Empress Changsun also couldn't understand why a county prince and a member of the royal family could do such outrageous things.
"Officials from three provinces actually intercepted Liu Mo's memorial, which kept me in the dark."
"It wasn't until the craftsmen killed the steel factory guards and fled in large numbers that Liu Mo came to see me when he saw that things couldn't be dealt with."
Li Erzheng complained angrily to Queen Changsun, and Li Junxian hurried outside the Lizheng Hall and shouted:
"Your Majesty, good news!"
"Dong Guo Liang sent an urgent message eight hundred miles from Guangzhou, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Protector have returned home in triumph and have arrived in Panyu!"
Li Erteng jumped up from his seat: "Bring it up quickly!"
Li Junxian entered the palace and handed Li Er a copy of the Ertang newspaper and an envelope.
The Tangbao was written by Fang Xuanling, with just two lines of words, saying that Li Chengqian and Su Chen had returned triumphantly with their fleet and had arrived safely in Panyu.
This is public content, and Li Junxian just called it out.
Another large envelope was sealed,
Li Er casually tore open the envelope. Inside was a military report from Su Chen, a report from Li Chengqian, and a private letter from Li Chengqian.
Li Er opened the military newspaper and took a look and laughed: "Well done, we actually defeated Dashi!"
Su Chen's military report was very simple. He first sent a victory report to the court, and the detailed report would have to wait until Su Chen returned to the court.
Li Er casually threw the good news to Li Junxian: "Circuit it to three provinces and six departments!"
Then he picked up Li Chengqian's memorial and read it while laughing: "Haha, the Prime Minister did a good job this time!"
After reading Li Chengqian's report at a glance, Queen Changsun was still reading Li Chengqian's private letter and asked hurriedly:
"What did Cheng Gan say?"
Li Chengqian's letter is very long, divided into several pieces of paper.
Empress Changsun's face was full of joy and a little weird. She took out one of the papers and handed it to the maid: "Send it to the Crown Princess."
