Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 341 Building Momentum
Wang Pingan said, "I pay every year. Although the money is not a lot, I pay every year. Isn't it good?"

Li Zhi said: "You have money, spend it, why are you covering it? If you can't spend it all, I will spend it for you. Don't think that Gu is a prince, but money is tight!"

Now Wang Ping'an is most afraid of others saying that he is rich.He rolled his eyes, and suddenly remembered that he treated General Wei Zhenyuan's eye disease. That Wei Zhenyuan would get rich, and even started a gamble by himself, and then bet that he would not shed tears, and he won a lot, making a lot of money!

Isn't this just experience, as long as someone has done it and followed it, it will be done!

Wang Pingan said: "Your Highness, let's do this. Chang'an City Wall is so long that no one can finish it in one breath. You must run and rest. There are many variables in it. It is impossible for all the people to participate, but everyone will." Going to watch the fun, want to see who can win in the end."

Li Zhi nodded and said: "That's for sure, let alone ordinary people, even officials in the middle of the capital have to go to see it, and they probably have to bring their family members to see it!"

Wang Pingan said: "That's right. Those who can run ahead must be strong and strong people. Why don't we number them all and let them show their muscles in front of the people first, so that the people can bet. Well, to do this, we need to recruit a group of officials from the household department, and let them calculate the odds and bets. No one who started the game will lose, and we will surely earn this money, and we must earn less!"

Li Zhi thought for a while, although he didn't know how to gamble outside, but when playing with the eunuchs and concubines in the palace, he often got some good luck, so he could understand a little bit.

He said: "The bonus is not even three hundred guan, but there are so many people in Chang'an, if they really come to bet together, it will cost tens of thousands of guan! Can't beat it, there are so many rich people in Beijing, it is impossible to bet a few After a few punctures, it might reach one hundred thousand punctures!"

Wang Ping'an smiled, you underestimated the people of Chang'an, even the big bet in Luoyang was more than that!He said: "Let the officials of the household department figure out how much there is and how to bet. Anyway, we will make a profit without losing money, that's for sure!"

Li Zhi nodded and said, "Just make money!"

Wang Pingan said again: "The money earned can help some people who are out of food in winter, and let the people know that the money is taken from the people and used for the people, not for the court to collect money!"

"Okay, in this way, the emperor will be happy, the ministers will be happy, and the people will be happy, but those who lose money will not be so happy!" Li Zhi said.

Wang Pingan said: "I would like to gamble and admit defeat. Everyone understands this, and there is nothing to say. If His Highness can't bear it, we can hang a banner at the place where the bet is placed, writing that gambling is risky, and bets should be cautious. Remind the people!"

Li Zhida nodded his head, even saying that he was reasonable.

Wang Ping'an thought for a while, and then said: "You can let the vendors set up stalls along the road outside the city when the Ao Games is held. Whoever wants to occupy a good place, for example, the gate of the city is a good place, then they have to pay some stall fees. , This is another income, and there are so many people watching the excitement, the vendors can also make a fortune."

Li Zhi smiled and said: "Yes, this is indeed a good method, everyone can make money! If there are other ways to make money, you can continue to talk about it."

Wang Pingan rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "You can allow people from Fanbang to participate in the race, and the name of the meeting will be changed to the World Games. Let's allow Fanbang to send strong men to participate in the race, and allow them to fight against their own country. Or the flag of the tribe, but we have to pay taxes to our Tang Dynasty, the bigger the flag they fly, the more money they have to pay, isn't this another income!"

Li Zhi laughed loudly, and said: "If this is the case, even if they sell the pants, they must hold the banner, and no one is willing to be compared by others. Not only can the money be collected, but the money will also be collected There will be a lot, and those foreign big businessmen will definitely rush to pay! Wubing, your idea is good, think about it again, can you still get more money?"

Wang Ping'an patted his thigh and said, "We can still sell advertisements. Advertisement means to advertise widely. The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Chang'an is so big that many people in the shops don't know about it, and there are few customers. There are also businessmen from other prefectures and counties, if they want to do big business in Chang'an, they must let the common people know their business names!"

This time, Li Zhi didn't need him to finish his sentence to understand what it meant. He said: "Let the company be its own flag, let people flag it along the way, or let people flag it in a race, so that more people will see it." Now, their business will be easy to do in the future, and the merchants will definitely be willing to pay for this money!"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Of course, we have to rush out. Why don't we have another flag competition, and whoever wants to fly the most flags will pay more, and even let people form a square, all of which will fight the same business." Flags, wouldn’t the effect be better, the merchants must have squeezed their heads to display more flags, so pay more!”

Clap clapping, Li Zhi clapped his hands and said: "Okay, good idea, this is not only a business that can make a profit but not accompany you, it is also beneficial to the court, the common people, the merchants, and even the foreign countries. The money is not like running water." It’s like pouring into the national treasury! No disease, you are really a lonely and good think tank, whatever happens to you, even if it’s a bad thing, can turn into a good thing, and it’s a great thing!”

Li Zhi felt more and more that he couldn't do without Wang Ping'an, and he had a faint feeling in his heart that Wang Ping'an's ability to govern the country was higher than his uncle and those ministers. The common people handed over the money themselves, and they were happy to pay. Even people from foreign countries were happy to pay him, and they were afraid that they would pay less!

What is skill, this is called skill!
Li Zhi can't do it himself, it's not that he doesn't know it, he knows that he can't do it like a mirror in his heart, so he especially needs someone who can do it, to help him with all his heart, and Wang Ping'an happens to be such a person, and he cannot be replaced!
Wang Pingan said again: "This Olympic Games can be held every year, and more events can be added in the future, not only races, but also some polo, with more teams, allowing states and counties to form teams, and Fanbang People from all over the world form a team to participate in the round-the-clock competition in a large venue, and whoever wants to stand up close has to spend more money to buy a seat, and the walls around the venue can also sell advertisements!"

"Yes, sell advertisements, sell a lot of advertisements, this is faster and more profitable than collecting taxes!" Li Zhi nodded heavily, he is now very interested in selling advertisements!
Wang Pingan said again: "There are also high jumps, long jumps, throwing big stones, horse racing, archery, whatever you can think of, you can compare them. If it's too bad, let two strong men take off their arms and go on stage , punch each other to see who can fight better, it's called boxing!"

Li Zhidao: "Okay, if there are more projects, the time of the Games will be longer, the longer we will earn more!"

Wang Pingan said: "It can't be too long, about ten days is about the same. But earning this once a year is not enough. We can make some teams permanent, such as Chang'an Polo Team, Luoyang Polo Team, or let The teams of various government health organizations compete with each other every few days, we sell advertisements and seats, this is also a long-term and stable sum of money!"

Li Zhi's eyes brightened, and he said: "If this is really possible, that would be great!"

Suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said: "What were we talking about just now, and then we talked about this?"

Wang Ping'an blinked his eyes and said happily, but forgot the original intention.He said: "We are talking about if the minister loses the bet with Long Aotian, then how should the minister renege on the debt, we are talking about it, and we are talking about it!"

Li Zhi looked a little troubled, and said: "Wubing, the idea you mentioned... well, it's not an idea, it's a big idea, and it's not difficult to operate, it's better than building a cooked pharmacy. Yes, it’s much simpler, and the benefits are quicker, but such a good idea requires you to lose the bet first, but I don’t want you to lose!”

He was afraid that Wang Pingan would deliberately lose the bet in order to successfully hold the Aoao Games. He didn't want to see Wang Pingan lose face!
Hearing what Li Zhi said, Wang Ping'an was inevitably moved. He liked Li Zhi enough, and Li Zhi also meant enough to himself, and he didn't treat him in vain.

With a chuckle, he said with a smile: "Your Highness was worried about this. It's okay, I don't have to lose. If Long Aotian loses, he can also hold the Aow Games. Let's give him a title and let him be the winner." A torchbearer or something. Before the Aowa Games, there will be a grand ceremony, let Long Aotian light a huge ever-burning lamp, the congress begins, and then let the ever-burning lamp stay on, and then turn it off after the conference is over. A ceremony, isn't this very good!"

Li Zhi hummed, and said: "It's a good idea to let him be the torchbearer, but it's a bit cheap for him. Let him be famous for nothing!"

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "That's not for nothing. Lamps are a must-have tool for the common people. There are countless merchants who make lamps. We can gather lamp merchants again and let them compete. Whoever pays more money will use them." For the lamps at home, their business name can be printed on the lamps, which is also an advertisement, and it is a big advertisement.”

He paused, then suddenly thought of something else, and said: "And in the next year, all the lamps sold by this lamp dealer can be printed with 'special lamps designated by the Aowl Games', and then let They pay a sum of 'special' money, and they are naturally willing to pay in order to sell more lamps!"

Li Zhi clapped his hands and said: "That's right, other shops can also print this. We don't have to spend a penny, but we can collect a lot of money for nothing. This is faster than collecting agricultural taxes. Come on." There is still a lot of money, and there is no need to send messengers to the countryside!"

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "That's right, this is a business with no capital, and everyone is willing to participate, which is of great benefit to the country. As long as the treasury is full, it will be convenient for everything!"

"Then let's write this matter down and present it to the emperor for his decision!" Li Zhi laughed.He knew in his heart that his father would definitely agree to this matter. Such a good thing can be said to be so good that no one has ever thought about it. It turns out that money can be earned in such a way!

Wang Pingan pulled the bowl and chopsticks aside, and said: "Success, there is no rush to eat later, let's finalize this matter first, and draw up a charter. As for how to implement it, let the emperor and the adults in the court make a decision." !"

Li Zhi hummed, and personally took the four treasures of the study, Wang Pingan spread the paper and wrote, and he studied the ink.

While discussing and writing, it took more than an hour for the proposal to hold the first Datang Ao Games to come to an end.Li Zhi asked Shi Aiguo to replace the cold food and make a new table. He and Wang Pingan continued to eat, and they were still discussing during the meal.

After a hasty meal, this time it was time for Wang Ping'an to study ink, and Li Zhi picked up a pen to write, copied the proposal again, added a few new ideas that were discussed, and wrote a formal memorial.

Li Zhi and Wang Pingan washed their faces and tidied their hair neatly. Li Zhi went out of the hall, Wang Pingan followed behind with a memorial in his hand, and went to the Ganlu Hall together.

It was already afternoon at this time, and Li Shimin's office hours were a bit long, so he took a nap in the main hall to recuperate.Li Shimin is also worried. Although the country has been recuperating for more than 20 years, it is still full of holes and things that bother him. There are many things he wants to do, but the treasury is not rich. It is used at critical moments, so don't dare to use it lightly!

Li Shimin closed his eyes, but did not fall asleep. He thought to himself: "It would be great if the national treasury was as sufficient as that of the former Sui Dynasty, but the treasury of the former Sui Dynasty was sufficient only after the people were searched. The day of subjugation is not far away!"

Footsteps came from outside the hall, and when they reached the entrance of the hall, the footsteps stopped, and then there was another sound of light footsteps, coming towards his seat!
Li Shimin didn't need to open his eyes to hear that one of the people outside was the prince, and the other was probably Wang Ping'an, and the light footsteps coming towards him were Shi Zhongchen!
He opened his eyes, took a deep breath, let it out slowly, sat up straight, and said, "What's the matter?"

Shi Zhongchen hurried over and said softly: "Is this old slave arguing with the emperor?"

"No, I'm not asleep!" Li Shimin looked outside the hall and asked, "Is Zhi'er here?"

Shi Zhongchen presented a memorial, saying: "The crown prince and Wang Ping'an have come, saying that they will offer one hundred thousand copper coins to the emperor, and they will give it every year!"

Li Shimin made a sound, and said puzzledly: "What, what is a hundred thousand? Zhier asked Wang Pingan to get him money again? No matter how capable Wang Pingan is to make money, it is impossible for him to earn so much every year!"

He took the memorial with one hand, and made a move outside the hall with the other, "Zhi'er come in."

Li Zhi agreed, and walked into the hall with big feet, with a look full of confidence. This kind of situation is very rare in his life, and such things as being confident have never happened to him!
Seeing his son's head raised and his chest upright, Li Shimin couldn't help showing a smile on his face. This boy is now more and more like a high-ranking person. It seems that exercising him to handle government affairs these days is still very effective!
When Li Zhi walked into the hall, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he turned his head abruptly, and almost let out all the self-confidence in his body!Wang Ping'an was waiting at the door, but he didn't come in!
Li Shimin didn't let Wang Ping'an enter the palace, he said that Zhi'er came in, so Wang Ping'an naturally didn't dare to follow in.

Li Zhi hurriedly waved to Wang Pingan, motioning for him to come in, Wang Pingan then walked into the hall with his head down.Li Zhi turned around, full of confidence again, and walked towards Li Shimin.
