Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 269 I also want to be rich and wealthy

After separating from Roshan and the other two, Su Chen took Sun Qiang to smell the fragrance.

On the way, Sun Qiang asked with some doubt, "Sir, have you really never thought of taking the things they sent?"

Two carriages, twenty boxes.

Even though the boxes were not opened, Sun Qiang guessed what was inside.

"I thought about it."

Su Chen responded calmly.

“Then why not accept it?

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

Roshan carefully prepared so many things and sent them to Su Chen, but he refused to accept them.

"Could it be that the young master has some other plan in mind?"

Su Chen turned his head to glance at Sun Qiang and smiled slightly. After all, he had followed him for a long time and could already keep up with his thinking.

"It's just twenty boxes. Judging from their size, even if they were filled with gold, silver and jewels, what would happen?"

"At least tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?"

Sun Qiang thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, if you don't accept the money, could it be that you want Roshan to owe you a favor?"

Su Chen smiled and nodded, “Yes, compared with Roshan’s favor, tens of thousands of taels of silver are just a small matter.”

"Besides, we must make good use of this favor!"

Sun Qiang wanted to ask more questions, but Su Chen didn't say anything more.

After arriving at Wenxianglai side by side, Su Wang greeted him with a smile on his face, "Sir."

"Prepare something for me."

Su Chen smiled and told all his needs. Su Wang was a little suspicious and said, "Young Master wants these things, are you going on a long journey?"

"Yes."

Su Chen nodded, "But it's not me who's going away, but Wang Xuance and the others."

Su Wang: "Young Master, you have a lot of stuff. Give me two days to prepare it."

"Not urgent."

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "I haven't told them about this yet, you can prepare it first, and they will come to you to get it after this matter is settled."

"it is good!"

Su Wang smiled and said, "By the way, sir, do you remember the Pei Mingli you mentioned earlier?"

Su Chen: "How is he doing recently?"

Su Wang: "This man is a genius in business."

"After earning my first pot of gold by collecting scraps and the money provided by the young master, I bought a piece of wasteland outside the city."

"In just half a month, he spent money to get people who passed by the wasteland to help him deal with the rocks and waste. Now he has recruited a group of people and planted fruit trees in the wasteland."

"That's it?"

Sun Qiang disagrees.

Su Wang glanced at him and said with a smile, "He only spent a few dozen taels of silver to turn more than ten acres of wasteland into fertile soil suitable for growing fruit trees. In three to five years, these more than ten acres of fruit trees will surely bring him unimaginable wealth."

"This is not something that ordinary people would think of, let alone turning wasteland into fertile soil through passers-by."

"Secondly."

"This person has been contacting merchants from all over the country, hoping to buy some Khmer and reed flowers from them."

"I guess this person is planning to take advantage of the cold winter to make a fortune."

Su Chen smiled and tapped his folding fan, "Did you hear that? His business acumen is not something a soldier like you can compare to."

Sun Qiang pursed his lips, "But the young master is also preparing to make cotton-padded clothes. Isn't he stealing your business?"

Su Wang laughed and said, "How much capital can he have?"

"Except the one hundred taels of silver that the young master gave him, plus the money he earned from collecting scraps, the total amount is only three hundred taels of silver."

"Even if we buy more than ten acres of wasteland outside the city and hire workers to plant fruit trees, the cost of making cotton clothes will not exceed one hundred and fifty taels."

"Such a small fight is not a threat to you, sir."

"But he actually thought of this, which is enough to prove that he has a ruthless vision. If he is allowed to continue running the business, and with our suggestions, I think he will have a place in the West Market in less than a year or two."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "Then let him continue to perform."

As he spoke, Su Chen glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's almost time. I'm going to the city gate to pick someone up."

Su Wang: "Who needs to be personally greeted by the young master?"

Su Chen: "The teacher sent by Cen Wenzhao is quite famous in the court."

Teacher?

Su Wang scratched his head in confusion and sent Su Chen and the other two out to smell the fragrance.

Outside Chang'an City.

A carriage, along with the people entering the city, slowly came to the city gate.

Liu Sansi lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the crowded city gate, turned back and said with a smile: "Mom, we have arrived in Chang'an City."

Mother Liu smiled and nodded, "Second Master Cen and Master Liu have arranged a good job for you. Don't be impolite when you meet them later."

Liu Sansi responded with a smile.

Before Liu Mu led his team back to Shannan Road, he had already learned from Cen Wenzhao that the students of Shannan Road were killing people everywhere in Chang'an City and became famous in Chang'an.

As Liu Mu led the team back to Shannan Road, they found him immediately and explained their purpose.

The prince invited him to teach in Chang'an City!
What an honor is this?

Liu Sansi couldn't suppress his restless heart at the first moment.

Unfortunately, Liu's mother's condition had just improved and it was inconvenient for her to travel a long distance. After learning about this, Liu Mu used some connections and invited an old doctor with superb medical skills to treat her.

After Liu's mother's condition improved, Liu Mu could not wait to order someone to drive a horse-drawn carriage to take them to Chang'an City.

"When we left Shannan Road, the Second Master said that Master Su would arrange accommodation for us after we arrived in Chang'an City. I wonder if Master Su is in the Prince's Residence..."

Liu Sansi pondered as the carriage arrived at the city gate. After he showed his pass, the officers and soldiers let him enter the city.

"That is?"

Liu Sansi looked at a piece of wooden board held high with a look of astonishment.

There are only five words on it.

Welcome Liu Sansi.

There were also many curious people who looked at the two people suspiciously.

"Is that Mr. Su?"

"Who is Liu Sansi on the wooden board?"

"I do not know……"

Mr. Su?
Are you waiting for me?

Liu Sansi suppressed his excitement and ordered the driver to drive over.

"My name is Liu Sansi. May I ask if this is Young Master Su Chen in person?"

"Haha, Mr. Liu, I finally waited for you."

Sun Qiang smiled and put down the wooden board in his hand. "My arms are sore from lifting this thing."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "I heard that Mr. Liu came to Chang'an City, so I waited here."

"Thank you, Master Su."

Liu Sansi bowed, but was grabbed by Su Chen's arm. "Brother Liu, you are too polite. If Brother Liu had not approved of the prince's new enlightenment, how could he have taught so many outstanding students in Shannan Road?"

"Now, Brother Liu has been invited to come to Chang'an City. I believe that with Brother Liu's ability, he will definitely be able to show his talents in Chang'an City and teach batches of Chang'an students!"

Is this person the teacher of those Shannan Dao students?

The person Su Chen welcomed turned out to be the teacher who taught the new school!
He came to Chang'an City to teach!

The curious people around suddenly became excited.

The majestic appearance of those Shannan Dao students in Chang'an City is still vivid in my mind.

Now, the teacher who taught them has come to Chang'an City in person, which means that the students in Chang'an City will welcome a teacher who is proficient in the new enlightenment knowledge!

If I send that good-for-nothing kid of mine to school...

"Brother Su, you're welcome."

"I heard that your mother is not in good health. You and I have traveled a long way here. I have asked people to prepare accommodation and food for you. Doctor Sun is waiting for you at the residence. Brother Liu, please follow me."

"Thank you, Brother Su!"

Liu Sansi was very grateful.

The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

How come this unfamiliar scholar has such a good relationship with Su Chen?
The group arrived at the house prepared by Su Chen, and Sun Simiao was sitting leisurely on a chair sipping tea. "Old Sun."

"My name is Liu Sansi, nice to meet Divine Doctor Sun."

"Are you the teacher in Shannan Road?"

Sun Simiao looked at Liu Sansi curiously, and then said, "Su Chen said that your mother is not in good health. Although she has been treated, the journey to Chang'an is long and tiring, and she is afraid that something bad may happen, so he asked me to take your mother's pulse."

Liu Sansi bowed deeply: "Thank you, Dr. Sun."

Sun Simiao waved his hand and said, "Why thank me? If you want to thank someone, thank him."

"Madam Liu, can I take your pulse?"

"Thank you, Dr. Sun."

Mother Liu smiled, sat down and stretched out her arms.

"Brother Su, I really trouble you this time."

"Too polite."

Su Chen waved his hand, "We are all family, why do we have to do this?"

After Sun Simiao checked on Liu's mother's condition, he smiled and said, "The doctor who treated your mother is also a good doctor. Although your mother is a little tired now, she has recovered well."

"As long as you pay attention to your diet, your mother's health will be back to normal in a few days."

"Thank you, Dr. Sun."

Sun Simiao waved his hand and said, "There are still many things to be dealt with at the college, so I will leave first. If you have any questions, you can come to the medical school to find me."

Liu Sansi nodded and bowed again.

Sun Simiao couldn't stop laughing and asked, "Why are you so polite?"

Liu Sansi: "The more courtesy, the less blame."

Su Chen smiled and patted Liu Sansi's shoulder. "You have come from a long way, so take a good rest. If you need anything, just tell the servants to do it. I will leave with Elder Sun first."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Su."

Liu Sansi sent Su Chen and others out the door.

Looking back, Mother Liu's eyes were moist, "Son, go get your father's tablet quickly. I want to burn some incense for him and tell your father that our son has made it."

……

"Then Liu Sansi is the teacher of Shannan Road?"

"Yes."

Su Chen smiled and said, "I heard that he is a kind and honest person, pure and filial. What do you think, Elder Sun?"

Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled, "He is indeed a kind and filial child."

"The Crown Prince has invited him to Chang'an City. From now on, life will not be easy for the Imperial College and the Imperial Academy."

"Does Mr. Sun also like to watch the fun?"

"That's not."

Sun Simiao laughed, "You two have been putting on one good show after another these days."

"Now that the teacher has been invited, I don't know what kind of fun he will cause."

Su Chen shook his head speechlessly, "We are doing this for the children of Datang and for the future of Datang."

"Whatever you say."

Sun Simiao waved his hand and said, "Let's go, come visit my medical school when you have time."

"it is good."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, watching Sun Simiao leave.

call.

What a busy day.

Su Chen stretched and decided to take the girl shopping.

Although I am a little tired, the emotional value is high.

"correct."

On the way back, Su Chen patted his head and said, "Aqiang, I forgot to send a letter to Jin Yong and the others."

"What you said is..."

Sun Qiang made a silent gesture.

Su Chen nodded, "Fan Yang's matter has been resolved, and the prince has made arrangements, so let them restrain themselves."

Sun Qiang: "Understood, I'll get someone to do it."

Return to Prince Residence.

The doorman came up quickly and said, "Sir, a distinguished guest has arrived."

"Oh?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Where did this distinguished guest come from?"

"From the Ministry of Industry."

A laugh came from the courtyard, followed by Duan Lun walking over with a smile, "I am Duan Lun, I have heard of Master Su Chen's name a long time ago. I am taking the liberty to come and visit you today. Master Su will not refuse, right?"

"Master Duan?"

Su Chen was a little surprised and bowed, "So it's you, Lord Shangshu. It's really an honor for Lord Duan to come here. How dare I refuse you?"

"Master Duan, please."

After both parties sat down, Duan Lun said with a smile: "Mr. Su, I came here because I have a small matter and I would like to ask you for help."

Su Chen: "Lord Duan, you are too kind. If it is something I can do, I will definitely agree."

Duan Lun nodded with great satisfaction at Su Chen's attitude, "My Ministry of Industry also wants a house full of gold and jade."

Su Chen: "..."

Duan Lun sighed, "Master Su, the prince said before that he wanted to make the Ministry of Revenue rich and powerful, and I knew you would be the one to give advice."

"Sure enough, Du He went to the Ministry of Revenue this afternoon and met with Lord Dai Zhou."

"But my Ministry of Industry is also very poor."

I'm paid to do this, why are you poor?

Su Chen pursed his lips and whispered, "What does Lord Duan mean?"

Duan Lun grinned, "You can also give our Ministry of Industry an idea to make money."

Su Chen: "..."

Okay.

You are very direct.

Duan Lun sighed and said, "The people in my Ministry of Works are paid by the Ministry of Revenue, but the Ministry of Revenue cannot pay. The craftsmen in the Ministry of Works have long been complaining, and I have no other choice."

Understood.

The prince is the client’s father and makes demands one after another.

The people in the Ministry of Industry are a bunch of poor people. After they did a good job, the client was very generous and asked them to go to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for money. But the Ministry of Revenue had no money, so there was nothing they could do!

"As far as I know, the Ministry of Works will privately undertake some construction work for royal palaces and renovation work for officials' residences..."

"Hey, how much is that?"

Duan Lun sighed, "Besides, Master Su, you already said that those are all for officials and princes to work for, and it's not easy to get the money!"

Su Chen knocked his head and thought quickly.

Duan Lun was not in a hurry. He drank tea and waited for Su Chen's reply.

After a while, Su Chen smiled and said, "Master Duan, have you ever thought about building a construction team exclusively for the Ministry of Industry?"

Duan Lun put down his teacup and asked, "A construction team that belongs exclusively to the Ministry of Industry?"

"All the craftsmen in the Ministry of Works obey the imperial court. If they were to form a private organization, I'm afraid..."

Su Chen waved his hand, "Master Duan, the Ministry of Industry is already in such a difficult situation, do you still care about these things?"

"If it really doesn't work, can we think of a way? When those officials and the prince's mansion need to be built and repaired..."

Duan Lun had already understood what Su Chen meant when he was halfway through his words.

We have no money to live on, why should we build houses for you? ?
"Isn't this a good idea?"

Duan Lun was a little unsure and whispered, "Master Su, have you talked to the Crown Prince?"

"Well, this is the second busy one."

"Master Su, we all work for the Crown Prince, why do we have to be so fussy?"

"Hmm... let me think about it. I will give you an answer by tomorrow evening at the latest. How about that?"
