Xiao Ye couldn't help but feel chilled when he heard the majestic and deep voice behind him. He turned around and saw King Xian standing by the door, glaring at him angrily.
Xiao Ye shuddered and said with an apologetic smile: "Father...Father, I just remembered that I still have unfinished homework, so I have to leave..."
Then the Xian Wang weighed Xiao Ye back just like a chicken, who wanted to find an excuse to run away.
The scene was a little embarrassing for a while...
Originally, Xu Qing thought that Xiao Ye's martial arts skills were already unrivaled in the world. After all, he was a ruthless person who slapped stone tables with his bare hands.
But when Xu Qing saw the Xian Wang, he realized that there was someone outside the world, and he could tidy up Xiao Ye with one hand...
After tidying up and obeying, the wise king said again: "Copy all Xu Qing's poems a hundred times. If you don't finish them, you will have nothing to eat tonight!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ye's eyes turned resentful when he looked at Xu Qing. He wanted to know, why did Brother Xu write so many poems when he had nothing to do?
It's such a miserable life.
Xu Qing couldn't help him with this matter. After Xiao Ye went down, Xu Qing bowed and said, "I've met the prince."
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing and said: "I just took a look at your shop. Everything is in order and the servants in the shop are doing their jobs. It is not easy to manage a large shop like this."
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, thank you very much. In fact, the Princess and the Crown Prince have also helped me a lot."
You're welcome to be polite, but Xu Qing is still very curious about the purpose of King Xian. You can't come all the way here just to praise him, right?
He doesn't believe it!
Xu Qing looked at King Xian and asked, "I wonder what your lord is doing here?"
The wise king said: "I see that you are well versed in business, and I want to cooperate with you in a business."
Xu Qing blinked, is this what the prince should say?
But he still bowed and said: "I wonder what kind of business the prince is talking about?"
The wise king said: "Xu Qing, you don't know something. Today there are many disasters in the Chu State. The treasury has been decentralizing money to provide disaster relief. Now the treasury does not have much silver left. I am wondering if I can build a trading house under the control of the imperial court.
, the funds obtained are taken from the people and used by the people, so that even in disaster years, the national treasury will have cash available, and will not be as stretched as it is now."
Xu Qing couldn't help but look surprised when he looked at Xian Wang after listening. According to Xian Wang's idea... he wanted to build a state-owned enterprise?!
Good guy!
At this time, the wise king sighed and said: "Back then, I had also made such an idea. At that time, my country in Chu held an imperial examination. In my country, everyone from aristocratic families to poor families could become officials. For a time, the supply of sage books was in short supply. This king
I even tried to have a bookstore funded by the royal family, but the result did not meet my expectations, and instead it continued to suffer losses, and finally nothing happened."
Only then did Xu Qing understand why there was such a large batch of copper movable type in the palace's warehouse. The reason was found!
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and I admire you for it."
Xu Qing couldn't help but admire the way he looked at Xian Wang. He was able to conceive of a state-owned enterprise by himself and also thought of a public-private partnership with Xu Qing. This was simply a vision ahead of his time.
This prince has something special!
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing and shook his head and said: "Don't flatter me. My original idea not only failed to earn a single copper, but also lost thousands of taels of silver. It is not wise."
Originally, we wouldn’t have suffered such a huge loss, but at that time, King Xian saw that the bookstore was very profitable, so all expenses were considered to be the best!
It doesn’t cost a lot to build, it just needs to be usable in the long run.
Look at this copper movable type. It has been piled in the warehouse for so long and it still remains unaffected. There are also some utensils that were all inherited from the closed bookstore in Prince Xian's Mansion.
It can be said that without the shop that Xian Wangfu closed down, Qingxue Study would not be what it is today.
Xu Qingdao: "A sage once said: Failure is the mother of success. No one can succeed casually. Your Majesty, you don't have to suffer because of a small setback... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, why do you think of me like this?"
Xu Qingzheng was talking, good guy, the Xianwang's eyes were glaring as if he wanted to hit someone...
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing and said: "If others say this, I will comfort you, but if you say this, I will feel more and more uncomfortable!"
Xu Qing was shocked when he heard this. What is wrong with this prince?
Then I quickly thought about the wording I just used. It was correct... Why was he uncomfortable?
The Xian Wang looked at Xu Qing's calm and majestic tone and said with a hint of gritted teeth: "No one can succeed casually? Xu Qing, Xu Qing, from a small policeman in Yong'an County to Yongzhou City
The number one genius, in more than a month, he managed a small bookstore to become the largest bookstore in Yongzhou City, even squeezing out several paper mills in Yongzhou City. Yesterday, he made a contribution that was almost worthy of a title.
, you have done one thing after another, why do you think so casually when I see how successful you are?"
Jealousy! King Xian, this is definitely naked jealousy!
He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he was born a pure, natural and pollution-free prince. He is still not satisfied?!
He is actually jealous of his own talent?!
I am even jealous of his throne!
Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "Actually, Your Majesty, I am very tired from working in the shop every day... I have to endure the smoke and fog in the small pavilion every day..."
Xian Wang: "Eating grilled fish with Xue'er..."
"Actually, I still have to work very hard every day writing storybooks..."
"You read a sentence and the maid in the bookstore writes a sentence, and you can also eat a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the middle?"
"Every day I have to make plans for the development of the bookstore..."
"You just say a few words, Xue'er, and then you stay busy all day long? Did this king's precious daughter ask you to use her like this?!"
Xu Qing looked at Xian Wang blankly: "How do you know all this...?"
The Xian King glanced at Xu Qing: "My eyes are spread all over Yongzhou City. There is nothing in Yongzhou City that I don't know about."
Xu Qing: "So, right under your nose, Zhou County Lieutenant embezzled thousands of taels of silver, and in the end it was the evidence collected by His Royal Highness."
The wise king: "..."
How long has it been since you had the urge to hit someone?
Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together! How could they be so similar when they have nothing in common with that traitor?!
This king is so angry!
Xu Qing looked at King Xian who was on the verge of going berserk and said quickly: "Your Majesty, how about we talk about the company you envisioned..."
The wise king looked at Xu Qing and said: "Let's not mention the issue of the business name for the moment. First tell me, which sage said that failure is the mother of success? How come I have never heard of it?"
