The next day, Du Shaoqing stopped the recruitment exam and silently made a appointment with his best friend Cheng Chu to the clinic.

"Actually, if Brother Du, you don't look for me, I want to come to you too." As soon as I entered the study, Cheng Chumo said with a carefree smile.

"Oh? You have something to come to me, too?" Du Shaoqing asked in surprise.

He turned around and looked at the door, and found that there was no one. Cheng Chumo hurriedly closed the door of the study and said, "I heard that you have made a test paper. Can you borrow the answer from me?"

Du Shaoqing, who had just poured the tea, shook his hand: "That thing is my job for recruiting employees. What are you going to do? Could it be that you also want to apply for an apprentice?"

Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh: "Do I still need to take the exam if I want to find your apprentice? You don't know that your test paper is already famous in the court. Some people rumored that if you can answer it all, it would be amazing. It requires a genius who is smart and far beyond ordinary people, otherwise you will not be able to answer it."

"Haha, it's not that exaggerated, it's all ordinary things." Du Shaoqing shook his head and said.

"Don't believe it. It is said that His Majesty sent it to the six ministries for the officials to show it. The officials were curious and copied a copy of the study home. Even my father was following the trend, and he forced me and my two younger brothers to make it. He said he wanted to steal the name of the genius, which made the three of us miserable." Cheng Chumo complained.

Du Shaoqing was silent. The father and son of the Cheng family were really interesting. The old devil had to join in any fun. "Okay, I don't plan to take the exam to recruit workers anyway. After the main business is over, I'll give you an answer."

Cheng Chumo was overjoyed. Although he was not a genius, with the answer, at least he could pass this level by his father.

"I want to know how much money is there in my account now when our two companies cooperate to start a winery business? I have to do some things recently, so I need to use money." Du Shaoqing talked about the serious business.

"Hey, that's all? Brother, just use your money to withdraw it in your account. Do you still need to ask? You will definitely not spend so much money. A month ago, my father asked me to check the accounts. I took a rough look. Our spirits were very good. At that time, your profit was more than 100,000 taels of silver. Now it should be 200,000." Cheng Chu said silently, drinking tea.

Du Shaoqing choked on the tea, "How many? Is it twenty taels or two hundred thousand taels?"

"Brother is joking? Our spirits are ten taels of silver per pound, which is one tael of silver and one tael of wine, which is equivalent to silver. High-end ones are even priceless. It has been half a year, and do you think you have only earned twenty taels?" Cheng Chumo said with a smile. It was obvious that he could have predicted Du Shaoqing's reaction.

How much is 200,000 taels of silver? According to the algorithm that one tael of silver is equal to four thousand soft sister coins, this is 800 million, and a net profit of 800 million in half a year? And it is pure technology investment? Du Shaoqingru was in a dream.

After a long time, I slapped the teacup on the table, "Then, what a fuck I'm still running a nonsense clinic? I can't spend 200,000 taels in my life. I just lie down and eat and wait for death. It's 400,000 taels a year. Can I become the richest man in two years?"

Cheng Chumo stood up with a smile, and a sentence broke Du Shaoqing's dream: "Come on, Brother Du, although our spirits are in short supply, the inferior wine brewed by people from all over the country this year is basically almost bought by us. In order to make money, many families sold us the wine they used for the New Year. You can't even earn 400,000 taels a year.

Even if you really earn 400,000 taels a year, you can't be the richest man, and you're far from the richest man in the Tang Dynasty."

Du Shaoqing said in surprise: "I see that the people of the Tang Dynasty are so poor, why aren't we nearly rob money enough to become the richest man?"

Smiling bitterly, Cheng Chumo explained the reality to Du Shaoqing, "The people are poor and have nothing to do with the nobles. All the money is in the hands of the nobles, and our wine is sold to the nobles in major cities. The bigger the nobles, the more they buy.

Our wine business does make money very quickly, and even surpassed the silk business, but you don’t know that there are faster than this. The salt and iron business will always be the most in short supply. However, my elder brother changed the salt manufacturing method before, and it is estimated that the profits of the salt industry will decline in the future. After all, the main salt industry is controlled by the court, and the country will not compete with the people for profit, so it will be lowered.

But iron tools are the leader of the Changsun family. In addition to military equipment, there are only the parents of the Sun family, and that is the richest man in the Tang Dynasty."

Changsun family? Who? Changsun Chong? Changsun Wuji? Du Shaoqing exclaimed, and Cheng Chumo nodded calmly.

"Of course, it's not entirely true that they are the richest people. It's just relative. After all, the Tang Dynasty has only been established for twenty years and has a very shallow foundation. To talk about the real richest people in the world, we have to say that the five surnames and seven families have passed down for thousands of years. Each of them has a history of thousands of years and has occupied more than half of the official positions in the court for many years. Family business has almost monopolized all walks of life in the country. These are the real invisible rich people, and the Changsun family cannot compare to them."

Five surnames and seven families? Well, Du Shaoqing has been in the Tang Dynasty for so long, but he has heard a little of these close news. Today is the first time I heard that the other party is so big and deep, especially Cheng Chumo whispered: A hundred-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family! It has refreshed Du Shaoqing's worldview again. It turns out that the world is not the strongest emperor?

"Forget it, I'd better make a fortune honestly and live a life of mercy. I don't want to think about this rich man. I came to you this time to ask you to help me with something. Changle and I adopted a group of orphans and beggars yesterday, all of whom were about to freeze to death in winter.

Later I thought that there are many such things, so can we see if we pay, find a place to settle them, and install kangs in the house, and provide a batch of winter food.

After all, we are not familiar with Chang'an, so we want to ask your brother for help."

After hearing this, Cheng Chumo pondered for a moment and nodded, "Brother, don't worry, this is a good thing. I can take people to do it. But brother, I want to remind you that if you gather beggars without age, we will not say that there are at least tens of thousands of beggars in Chang'an City, nor do we talk about this expense problem. The first thing you need to be cautious is the issue of reputation. Be careful to cause criticism, and it is difficult to be a good person."

In this way, it can be said that it is heartbreaking. Du Shaoqing nodded gratefully, "Thank you, brother, remind me, let's do it first, and in the name of Princess Changle, I will take her into the palace to report to Your Majesty later. I can't let you work in vain. I will ask for me and Your Majesty for you."

The two agreed on the plan, and Cheng Chumo went out with an answer with a smile. Du Shaoqing looked at his back and said to himself that the old Cheng family was thick and thin. This kid was careless. Although he was not as smart as him, he still knew many taboos when he was good at education.

Looking back, Du Shaoqing remembered what Cheng Chumo said and fell into a tangle. Unexpectedly, the Changsun family was the richest man, which made it even more difficult. It seems that his thinking is correct, and it should be done.
