Chapter 405 Koi Business
Two days a week is not bad.

People in the Jianghu always say that people can't help themselves in the Jianghu, but in fact the same is true of politics.

The children of the royal family have a noble status, but they also have something that they cannot help themselves.For example, the crown prince must accept the teachings of great Confucianism, otherwise he will be questioned by scholars all over the world.

To put it bluntly, the crown prince also needs to obtain the status of a scholar in order to be recognized by the scholar.This situation reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, and it was the same in all subsequent dynasties.

It has become a consensus to govern the country by reading, and it is basically impossible for the crown prince to leave the palace to see the outside world.

From birth to death, some emperors never left the imperial palace for half a step in their entire lives, except for official activities such as sacrifices and summer escapes.

Rely on them to govern the country?It's just a joke.

Fortunately, it is the Tang Dynasty now, and it has not yet become a rule to invite famous teachers and scholars to teach the crown prince. Li Shimin has more say.Give the prince a few days of lessons every week, and how many lessons every day, and he will discuss this with the great Confucians.

Unlike later generations, the crown prince's courses were all arranged by the Confucianism, and it was not convenient for the emperor to intervene.

But even so, it is not easy to find two days a week to teach Yue Shan.

And two days was enough for Yue Shan, because he only planned to teach Li Chengqian three lessons.One is general knowledge class, one math class, and one military class.

The general knowledge class is to take him to see all kinds of things, understand the status quo and ideas of different classes, and so on.To put it bluntly, this thing is just eating, drinking, having fun, traveling and doing some research along the way.

Mathematics is a must. Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. It is a bad thing for an emperor not to understand mathematics.It is not required how deep his research on mathematics is, at least he must understand it.

Not to mention military lessons, the evil consequences of the emperor's lack of military knowledge can be seen in a lot of history books.

As for other knowledge, I will leave it to those great Confucians. In this regard, Yue Shan believes that they will teach them better than himself.

And compared with the boring teaching of great scholars, Li Chengqian will cherish the two days with Yueshan even more, and the learning effect will be better.

Then an interesting thing happened, and it went like this.

Li Shimin: Maid of Guanyin, how much cash does the Royal Commercial Bank have now?
Grandson Wugou: More than 770 million guan, will the second brother use them?
Li Shimin: Cough cough... Well, the treasury has less than 300 guan in money and food, and Chen Xiang and Xiao Xiang have come to me several times.Ahem...can you allocate five...three million yuan to the treasury.

The eldest grandson Wugou waved his jade hand, and said grandly: "Only 500 million guan, will be delivered to the treasury within seven days."

……

Then Yue Shan swore to the sky, just now for some reason, his ears were ringing and his eyes were sore, he didn't hear anything or see anything, so he was able to leave the palace alive.

Regarding Li Chengqian's coming to Yueshan to study, Changsun Wugou was the most caring. The next day she brought her three children to Sixingping.

Why three... Li Chengqian is here as a borrower, Li Tai is here as a transfer student, and Li Lizhi is here to make soy sauce.

Yes, Li Tai, as an 'ordinary' prince, plans to study at Longshoushan Junior Academy directly like Li Ke.

Yue Mansion was originally the compound of Wujin, one courtyard where Yue Laosi and his wife lived, another courtyard where Yueshan lived, one courtyard was nominally owned by Yue Shui'er's boudoir, and another courtyard was used as a guest room.The remaining courtyard became the 'palace' for Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou.

These two couples, especially the eldest grandson Wugou, would come to stay for two days from time to time.Everything in the yard has been refurbished according to her preferences, and there are usually guards all around, and even Yueshan can't get close at will.

But today the eldest grandson Wugou is here, and the main characters of the Yue Mansion can come and play.

Standing on the small bridge in the courtyard, Changsun Wugou lightly grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it in the small river bit by bit. The densely packed koi swarms competed for the bait.

"I heard someone offered ten guan to buy you a koi?"

"There is a person who likes fish. I don't know where I found out that my family has a pond of koi. He asked someone to come over and talk about it. He said that he wanted to choose ten for the price of ten. But I refused." Yue Shan nodded. .

"You don't sell one of the ten fish, don't tell me you like these fish so much, why don't you notice it usually." Changsun Wugou said.

"Later, I spread the news, and more people wanted to buy fish from me, and the price was even opened up to [-] fish. And there is no need to pick and choose, as long as it is a koi." Yue Shan said proudly.

"You really know how to do business." Changsun Wugou praised.

"It's not as good as you. Under your hands, the Royal Commercial Bank has grown to a daily income of ten thousand dollars, which is higher than the tax revenue of the national treasury. Who dares to say that it can do business better than you." Yue Shan said.

"It's not the same. You found business opportunities out of thin air. It's like now, when you were looking for Chilinyu, everyone thought you were just for fun, but now it has become a big business in less than two years. And I'm just It's just a matter of making the business you entrusted to me bigger, and it's clear at a glance who is stronger." Changsun Wugou shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty is a little underestimating yourself. Everyone is good at different things. Let me run the Imperial Commercial Bank. I am afraid that I will not be able to make it as big as it is today." Yue Shan said.

"Hehe... let's stop flattering each other." Changsun Wugou smiled and said, "How long are you going to keep the fish in this pond?"

"Koi carp has only one chance to make a huge profit. After those who buy fish from me cultivate their own fry, they will not be able to sell at a high price. So I want to let more people know this news, and spread the news in a short time. The fish are sold to more people." Yue Shan said:
"As for the future, I don't plan to do business in this area. There are many important things, and there is no need to waste time on these small things."

"Then I'm relieved." Changsun Wugou nodded happily, she was really afraid that Yue Shan would be addicted to these playthings, even though the koi were really pretty.

"From now on, Dalang and Qingque will be taught by you, don't let my sister down."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best to teach them." Yue Shan said.

"It's not about trying our best, but we must teach them to be talented. Especially Cheng Qian, he has too much burden and cannot tolerate any failure." Changsun Wugou said solemnly.

"I promise I won't disappoint the empress." Yue Shan said solemnly.

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Then I can rest assured."

Then she said softly: "There is also Qingque...too talented may not be a blessing."

Yue Shan's heart sank suddenly, and after a long silence, he said quietly: "Qingque will surely become a great Confucian."

"That's good, that's good." Changsun Wugou seemed relieved, nodded again and again, and then said with a wry smile: "You don't think my sister is vicious, do you? My own children are plotting."

"No, this just shows that my sister's love for them is selfless and great." Yue Shan said solemnly.
