Fortunately, the house was maintained by someone, so it was quite clean. So Wang Can and Li You moved in directly as soon as they arrived. As soon as the two settled in, Ye Qingkong had already arrived with a large group of people, and in the evening
All the drinks and meals were brought.
No need to prepare anything else.
Wang Can and Li You came out to greet them in person.
Wang Can looked indifferent and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, we are really embarrassed that you are like this. All the drinks and dishes are at your expense."
Ye Qingkong said: "You have just arrived in Chang'an and it is not suitable to go to a restaurant to eat tonight, so I brought it. After you settle down, we will eat in the restaurant from now on."
"Can!"
Wang Can smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Please!"
The three of them sat down in the living room.
However, Li You only sat with her for a while and then went to the backyard. This was the case in this era. Women rarely entered the main hall to eat, especially when there were guests. Women were always in the backyard, and the front hall was the home of the men.
After Li You left, only Ye Qingkong and Wang Can were left in the yard.
The two of them exchanged cups and cups, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Wang Can's impression of Ye Qingkong is also quite good. This person is straightforward, upright, and not a narrow-minded and unpredictable person. Such a person is suitable for being a friend, so Wang Can is willing to make friends with Ye Qingkong.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The two men's drinking slowed down.
It's more about talking and laughing.
Ye Qingkong said sternly: "My dear brother, forgive me for speaking a little bluntly. When I left Lantian County, my entourage also told me about the situation of Li's tea shop and also learned some news about you. You are so talented, you are worthy of being mentioned.
You are like a dragon or a phoenix among men. A person like you has become the son-in-law of the Li family, which is very detrimental to you."
Wang Can chuckled lightly and said: "Brother Ye, I don't care whether you have a son-in-law or not. It's just a name. If you don't want to make friends with me because of my name as a son-in-law, then
There is nothing worthy of my friendship."
After a pause, Wang Can said: "Just like Brother Ye, is it possible that because of my reputation as a son-in-law, he will despise me and be unwilling to deal with me?"
"of course not!"
Ye Qingkong smiled and shook his head.
He is not a person who judges people based on their appearance, nor does he look down on Wang Can just because he has the reputation of being a son-in-law.
Ye Qingkong continued: "Brother, the reason why I say that this son-in-law has a bad reputation is not because of the interaction between people. Of course, this may be one aspect. But on the other hand, it is because you want to
When you become an official, just the name of your son-in-law will have a great influence on you, and many people will look down on you. They will even be ashamed to associate with you."
Wang Can said: "Then it doesn't matter. I actually don't have much thought about becoming an official. If I can become an official, that's good. If not, then it doesn't matter. In life, it is not necessary to be an official.
Just restrain yourself. Now, I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, my heart is free, that’s enough!”
Ye Qingkong gave a thumbs up and said: "I am not as good as my good brother. To be honest, I want to become an official, but I don't have the ability, and my background is not very good. But
Now, it’s pretty good, as you said, I’m unrestrained and my heart is free!”
Wang Can said: "Brother, you are so complimentary."
The two of them were chatting. Wang Can was a knowledgeable person, and his knowledge was extremely profound. Ye Qingkong was also a member of a big family and had a wide range of knowledge, so chatting with Wang Can was quite enjoyable.
At the end, Ye Qingkong suddenly said: "Brother, speaking of which, you are extremely intelligent, but I have something to do here. Can you help me with the details?"
Wang Can said: "Brother Ye, it's okay to just say it."
Ye Qingkong said: "Now in the Tang Dynasty, there is drought all over the place, especially in Guanzhong. Countless people are in dire straits. The people live in poverty, but in fact, these big families, like the five surnames and seven families, are actually...
They were so rich that they hoarded countless grains. The court asked them to borrow grains, but every one of them refused. As a result, it was difficult to provide disaster relief."
Speaking of this, Ye Qingkong's face also showed a touch of emotion and said: "To be honest, my brother-in-law is Du Ruhui. I often chat with him. Whenever we talk about this matter, my brother-in-law sighs helplessly. My wise brother is very intelligent.
Absolutely, is there any way to solve it?"
After Wang Can heard this, he thought for a while.
When Ye Qingkong saw that Wang Can was silent, he also had expectations in his heart. In fact, he was also a person who hoped that the court would be stable and that the local people would live and work in peace and contentment, because only in this way can he do business well.
Moreover, he hopes to help Du Ruhui.
After all, Du Ruhui works hard every day, especially for this matter. In a short period of time, his temples have become much grayer, so he hopes to share some of the burden for Du Ruhui.
Time passes little by little.
In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour passed, and Wang Can suddenly thought of a way.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Brother Ye, I have an idea."
When Ye Qingkong heard this, he suddenly became excited and said seriously: "Brother Xian, are you sure your method can really work?"
"able!"
Wang Can answered firmly.
For Wang Can, even if the opponent is Wu Surname Qi Wang, these powerful figures are not invulnerable in fact, and they can all be targeted.
Ye Qingkong said: "Brother Xian, I won't ask you what your plan is. How about this? I'll immediately ask my brother-in-law Du Ruhui to come to the king's house. Can you explain it to him in person?"
Wang Can's eyes were deep and thoughtful, and he suddenly said: "Brother Ye is so eager. Is it because he hopes to use this opportunity to become an official and then step into the officialdom?"
These are words of temptation.
When Ye Qingkong heard Wang Can's words, he was not angry and said seriously: "Brother, you can test me, but I can say with certainty that in this matter, I have absolutely no intention of becoming an official through meritorious service.
For me, I just want to save more people from disasters. The reason is actually very simple. I am a businessman, and people’s lives are better. Isn’t this business also easier to do? "
After a pause, Ye Qingkong continued: "What's more, everyone has a heart of intolerance. If you can make the people stable and live a good life, isn't this also a matter of doing good and accumulating virtue?"
When Wang Can heard this, he nodded in his heart.
If Ye Qingkong is really utilitarian and extremely utilitarian, then even if Wang Can and Ye Qingkong are good friends, in fact, the relationship between friends only stops here and cannot be improved much.
But Ye Qingkong is not like this. Only then can the relationship between the two continue and become close friends.
Wang Can nodded and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Brother Ye's thoughts are worthy of this sentence. I heard that what people who practice chivalry and justice pay attention to is that the great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. And
Brother Ye is engaged in business, so it can also be said that those who are great in business serve the country and the people."
"Hahaha……"
After hearing this, Ye Qingkong couldn't help but laugh.
Very happy.
Because I was praised by Wang Can.
Especially talking to Wang Can always surprises him.
After Ye Qingkong stopped laughing, he said: "Brother, if this is the case, then I will go and invite my brother to come overnight. He has been working hard during this period, trying to break the deadlock and ease the plight of the people."
"Can!"
Wang Can nodded.
Ye Qingkong left in a hurry.
Wang Can was sitting alone in the hall. At this time, the hall was empty, and no one else was there. Wang Can summoned the All Heavens System, and his system had changed again, mainly because the universal points had increased.
Originally, Wang Can spent 30,000 universal points to unlock the function last time. With the mall system of the Zhutian system, he can exchange for many items, including some books, some grain seeds, as well as fruits, flower seeds, etc., involving
There are many categories.
At that time, there were only less than 2,000 universal points left, but they have increased a bit during this period.
Obviously, there are also increases in universal points on weekdays.
Just very few.
Unlike the last time in Lantian County, because there were too many people, Wang Can suddenly became a blockbuster and collected more than 30,000 universal points on a large scale at one time.
Wang Can looked at the more than 10,000 universal points. At this point, they still cannot improve the level of martial arts. So for Wang Can, it is obvious that more universal points are needed.
Wang Can's eyes fell on the two books on the mall system.
This first book, called "Compendium of Materia Medica", is a "Compendium of Materia Medica" compiled by Li Shizhen. The book is very thick, and this "Compendium of Materia Medica" is detailed in content and is a thread-bound edition.
The second book, called "Moveable Type Printing," is about the printing method of movable type.
The book "Compendium of Materia Medica" requires 30 million points.
The book "Moveable Type Printing" requires 180,000 energy points.
After Wang Can saw these two books, he directly spent his universal points to buy them. Since then, his universal points have changed from 10985 to 6185 points. Although it has been reduced a lot, but with the two books in hand, Wang Can touched them
A handful, the texture of this paper is excellent.
Wang Can first read the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" because the content of this book, in addition to the description of one book, also clearly copied the shape of each medicine.
For physicians, this is a true classic.
As for movable type printing, it is specialized in printing books in large quantities.
The reason why Wang Can exchanged the two books was because the book "Compendium of Materia Medica" was used to shock people. As for the "Moveable Type Printing" in his hand, it was to be handed over to Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin could prepare and publish the book.
Printing books in bulk.
For Datang, these are all real technologies.
One is medical technology.
One is to innovate book technology.
Wang Can put away the two books and continued to sit in the hall and wait quietly. During this period, Li You came and asked about the situation, then left again and returned to the backyard to wait.
Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps coming from outside the hall, and two figures were already striding towards them.
