Wu Zhao was confused, so he answered: "I said I would like to find a group of people to learn skills from the old lady, so don't let it be lost..."

"Previous sentence!" Du Shaoqing asked anxiously.

"Previous sentence? I think about it, oh, I remember it. I don't know how high the old lady's skills are, and whether she can weave wool and cow wool into cloth."

"Yes, that's the sentence, wool, weaving, by the way, that's the..."

Du Shaoqing was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and went up to hug Wu Zhao and said, "Hahahaha, Xiao Zhao'er, you have made great contributions, you are really my lucky star."

The sudden attack caught Wu Zhao off guard, blushed, looked around, then pushed the other party away with force, covered his face and cursed: "What are you doing, bad guy? This is on the street. Do you want to see someone? You know how to bully me."

Du Shaoqing felt like he was hit by a mountain of gold. He didn't care about this. He picked up Wu Zhao again and turned around for a few times, then directly pulled the other party from Dongshi to the clinic.

Along the way, he attracted frequent glances from passers-by. Many people who knew Du Shaoqing were open with their eyes wide open. Du Prince Consort is too frivolous. He has a princess at home, so he will take his little wife to hug him on the street?

Perhaps it was because of the extreme joy and sorrow that Du Shaoqing rushed into the clinic with his young wife's hand regardless of the situation. As soon as he entered the door, he stood there as if he was electrocuted. The princess wife Li Lizhi happened to run into it.

Wu Zhao shook the other party's hand hard, and she was so embarrassed that she had no place to hide. Du Shaoqing felt a little thirsty. Should she say something at this time?

"Ahem, madam, didn't you say you should have a good rest at home? Come so early?"

Li Lizhi pressed the complaint in her heart, gave her husband a blank look, and slowly stepped forward to hold the shy Wu Zhao, "I just came to the clinic to see you for help. Fortunately, I came here. Look at you, how rude you look? I pinched Xiaowu's sister's hands red."

"Sister, I'm fine. I just followed him to discuss business. I'm going back to Yongpingfang now." Wu Zhao was about to leave.

Du Shaoqing slapped his head, remembered the wool again, and pulled the two wives to the back hall of the clinic, making the people in the lobby inexplicable. Xie Laodao stroked his beard and smiled: "It's good to be young."

Oh... in one sentence, everyone suddenly realized.

Du Shaoqing didn't know that he was just being cheated by the honest old Dao Xie.

Speaking of wool weaving, Du Shaoqing reminded him of a word - wool sweater, and then he thought of a series of wool products, that is, wool can be weaved cloth to make clothes, and its use is very popular and convenient.

I even vaguely remember that in middle school, there were incidents such as sheep eating people, land enclosure movements, etc. in learning world history. Du Shaoqing couldn't remember the specifics, after all, he didn't like to study history.

But these did not prevent him from judging the huge interests of the entire wool industry, which could spread throughout the northern grasslands.

"This thing was thought of by Xiao Zhaoer, and if it is used well, it can more than double the entire national strength. If it is reported to the court, I think it will be no problem to earn you a title.

That is, as a woman, if you are a man, it would be not enough to give it to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." Du Shaoqing praised Wu Zhao.

Princess Changle laughed and scolded, "Husband, you are still good at taking advantage of it. If Xiaowu's sister was a man, how could you be able to hold a beauty? You are cheap."

Wu Zhao curled his lips: "What's wrong with a woman? Why can't a woman be an official? Let me be the Minister of Revenue, which is definitely better than the old men in the court."

Upon hearing this, Du Shaoqing's feet slipped and thought to himself that the empress is the empress. Even if she was young and had been changed a lot by herself, her unyielding heart still remained unchanged.

Princess Changle smiled and advised, "Who doesn't know my sister's ability and talent? But if we wait for the hard work of showing up in public and letting a group of rough men do it, how can our daughter's family work hard?

Especially when I see my sister, I still feel pity for my delicate daughter, who is willing to tired you?"

"What my sister said is, but now my little sister is being driven by a maid who has no conscience and does not feel sorry for her at all..."

When Du Shaoqing saw that it was not good, he quickly accused him: "Where do you think? Both ladies have worked hard. The matter of wool must be kept confidential. For the husband, he will leave in advance and will not delay your sisters' chat."

Seeing the other party running away in a panic, two beautiful women in the room looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Du Shaoqing does not plan to carry out the wool industry for the time being. After all, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce has just started, and it is easy to overturn if the stall is too big.

So he just brought a small flower ginning machine to find a group of craftsmen in the palace and built it accordingly, but it was ten times larger. At that time, he could use animal power to replace manpower and produce it in an assembly line manner. In the future, cotton can be grown in Gaochang and processed directly locally.

The Li family in Longxi had sent someone to transport away the five thousand booked textbooks. Du Shaoqing remembered the fact that his opponent had stole his secrets. Although he didn't care much about this, Du Shaoqing was a little angry when he saw the Wang family in Taiyuan using the stolen means to make money.

With a frown, Du Shaoqing came to the Du family's bookstore and stipulated that the new paper was priced at half a share of the original paper and sold at a cheap price.

The shopkeeper almost thought that the boss was crazy, but Du Shaoqing naturally couldn't tell him that the real cost was very low, and he was still making a big profit.

This is to run the Taiyuan Wang family. They sold 10% to other families. Now if there are half the cheaper paper in Chang'an, what will happen to the Taiyuan Wang family?

At the same time, Du Shaoqing was preparing to expand the production of papermaking workshops. It was not possible to just build a small workshop in Chang'an. The best choice was to establish a new papermaking mill in Shu. There were many bamboos and sufficient materials in Shu, so he went to the palace to discuss with the emperor.

The emperor wanted Du Shaoqing to expand production and printed many books to popularize the world.

So he immediately issued a secret order to Shuzhong. The person used was Liu Lan, the chief of the royal palace of Shu King Li Yan. This person was loyal and reliable, so he chose a site to build a factory in the name of Li Yan. In the future, Li Yan could take care of him when he went to Shuzhong to take office.

When he met Du Shaoqing, Emperor Li Er talked about the attack on Gaochang. The army had already set out, but often a war could destroy the accumulation of the imperial court for several years, so the money spent this time was painful.

The implication is to ask this rich son-in-law if he can spend some money as military expenses. After all, it takes two years to achieve the profits to conquer Gaochang.

Du Shaoqing's eyes turned and made a suggestion, "The Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack Gaochang to save the people of our Tang Dynasty in order to rescue the detained business and travelers. The court has no choice but to do so.

But we and other merchants cannot be ungrateful, so the Du Family Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide 10,000 jin of military funds to repay the court.”

Li Er said unhappily: "You kid are really an iron rooster. How can you 10,000 guan be enough for a 100,000 army expenses? If you fight a war, you will get at least 200,000 guan of military expenses, which is not considered a post-war pension."

"Don't worry, father-in-law. After hearing what I said, it's not that my business traveler was detained. Gaochang has detained many of them, and many of them are subordinates of prominent families. Don't they follow him to express it?"

Well... Li Er was stunned, then laughed and scolded: "You kid are just a bad guy!"

The next day, a news spread quietly in Chang'an City, saying that Du Fuma invited Chang'an merchants to visit Qujiangchi for a while three days later. He had important business opportunities to discuss with everyone, and at the same time, he also invited the people of Chang'an who were free to go to watch the ceremony.

The people of Chang'an, who are extremely lacking in entertainment activities, are very interested in these gatherings. Before the event starts three days later, many people inquire about Qujiangchi over and over again, and even some small vendors have begun to seize stalls.

In a business in Zheng's family in Xingyang, I received an invitation that day. It was sent by Du Shaoqing in his personal name, inviting the other party's shopkeeper to Qujiangchi for a while.

The shopkeeper is Zheng Da, the fourth son of the Zheng family's house. He is known as Zheng Siye. He has a skillful business method and is in charge of Chang'an and is in charge of all the silk tea brick business of Zheng's family.

After receiving the invitation, Zheng Da did not dare to underestimate it, so he immediately stood up and found the leading figure of the Zheng family in Chang'an - Taichangqing Zheng Yuanshou.

"Du Shaoqing has nothing to do with the Zheng family in Xingyang, and from the recent incidents, he is an enemy but not a friend. He rashly made an appointment with us, and he may have bad intentions. Should he refuse him?" Zheng Da suggested.

"Are you afraid that he will make a trap for us? Just like the other party, Longxi Li family?" Zheng Yuanshou pondered.

"It is necessary to be wary. This person has been tricked and has plotted against the Li family in Longxi and Cui family in Qinghe. He is not sure that he will split the five surnames and Qiwang one by one."

"Come here, send someone to investigate. How many people Du Shaoqing sent invitations to meet Qujiangchi."

When someone was sent to inquire about the news, Zheng Yuanshou pointed to the invitation and said, "It is true that this Du Fuma does not have a good impression of us, but we have to admit that this person is very talented and has good character and reputation. He has a unique vision, especially his keen grasp of business opportunities. You can tell from his Du Family Chamber of Commerce's profit in just half a year.

The invitation said that there are business opportunities when meeting, and the business opportunity that allows him to take the initiative to meet us must not be small money, so it is not impossible to meet at first."

Zheng Da said worriedly: "But, will our contact with Du Shaoqing cause dissatisfaction from other families? I am afraid that the gain will not be worth the loss.

And that day, the young master of the Cui family said that Du Shaoqing had always been deliberately trying to deal with our five surnames and seven hope chambers of commerce."

With a faint smile, Zheng Yuanshou waved his hand and said, "That's why I asked someone to inquire about the news and see if we only invited our family. It's hard to say that they invited everyone. We couldn't do it if we didn't go there at that time.

The fourth brother, what you need to understand is that in our relationship with Du Shaoqing, we are just party struggles with disagreements in political views and different positions, and we have no personal grudges.

Moreover, fighting against him is not a matter of my family. Our Zheng family has a great career and needs to survive and have a meal. Your task is to do business and make money. Being able to strengthen yourself in the competition with your opponents is the real long-term way.

Instead of just following the crowd and ignoring other people's opinions on everything, maybe they won't know that they will be sold by others in the end. Isn't he still planning to make money from paper?"

Zheng Damao suddenly opened his mouth and stood up and bowed to Zheng Yuanshou, "Thank you for your advice, I have memorized it."

The same scene also happens in other families. The Silk Road in the Western Regions has been valued by people since its opening in the Han Dynasty. Almost all families of all sizes have people going to the Western Regions to do business. Moreover, the west is rich in gems and gold, and the wealth is unimaginable.

Du Shaoqing not only sent invitations to merchants traveling west, but also sent all the ones that Chang'an could count. Whether he had a background backer or a person who was detained in Gaochang, he was among his invitations.

Those big families and chambers of commerce may hesitate to worry about the invitation when they see the invitation, but many chambers of commerce with shallow foundations are eager to rely on Du Shaoqing, the big tree.

In the Hongwen Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Yan Shigu changed his textbook again, "Today we will talk about the "Zuo Zhuan", one of the nine Confucian classics."

After saying that, he deliberately paused and looked at Du Xuanxuan. The old man seemed to be asking, have you learned this book?

Seeing Xiao Xuanxuan's curiosity, she knew that she had finally chosen the right one. She had never learned this book. Yan Shigu secretly said in his heart that it was okay, but he said, "Where did you have the energy to read so many books at a young age? Some people may not have read a few books in their lifetime."

Not only the school teacher, but also the students were relieved.

Since this little girl came to Hongwenguan, the Master has never been able to talk about any books until the third day. He always changed the textbooks and everyone was confused about learning.

But the matter did not end. When Yan Shigu started to talk about the first article of "Zuo Zhuan", Xiao Xuanxuan suddenly raised her hand and stood up after hearing a few words.

"Sir, I've heard this story."

Yan Shigu's feet slipped and had to stop asking helplessly: "This book is about the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, and you can recite it too? Then why didn't you say it before the class just started?"

Xiao Xuanxuan thought for a while and replied seriously: "I don't know what the name of this book is. I just know the story here. My father told me the story when he told me the story, just like the story of Duke Yin of Lu, and Duke Huan of Lu and Duke Zhuang of Lu later..."

"All right, stop thinking about it. How did your father teach you? He doesn't look like an idle person. How could he have so much time to learn these classic books for you..." Yan Shigu couldn't listen anymore and could only interrupt Xiao Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan said blankly: "Yes, I have to listen to stories every night before going to bed. When I was young, I heard the story of Big Big Wolf on the Green Grassland. Later, when I grew up, my mother said that she was no longer a three-year-old child, but she had to listen to stories about adults. So my father started to tell me these stories with books.

Although the stories on the Qingqing Grassland are not as good as those of you, I can barely hear them falling asleep.”

Being forced? Sleeping?...

Yan Shigu suddenly realized: "You mean, your father used these books I told to tell you about hypnosis stories before bedtime?"

Xiao Xuanxuan giggled and said, "The old man is so stupid. He doesn't even understand the story of the bedside, but he says it as a hypnosis story before bed."

"No wonder, no wonder you sleep every time you listen to a class. It turns out that it was your father who did a good thing. How could you treat my Confucian classic wisdom as a hypnosis story for children?

Du Xuanxuan, I want your parents to come tomorrow, and I want to see him." Mr. Yan said with a stern face.

"Ah? Old sir, you are not going to sue me, right? I don't seem to be disobedient. Although I just like to sleep a little in class, I have learned all the things you said. It's so boring, I can't rely on me..." Xiao Xuanxuan asked with some fear.

"No, I just want to chat with your parents." Yan Shigu said with a kind smile.

"I live in my grandparents' house now. If you want to find it, it seems that I can just look for my grandparents or grandma. It's in the Tai Chi Palace there. Grandma may be very busy and have no time. Why don't I invite my grandfather?" Xiao Xuanxuan pointed out to the outside of the door.

Yan Shigu's face turned dark and said seriously: "I don't want to look for Your Majesty. As long as you see your father, Du Shaoqing's son-in-law."

"Why? Why do you have to find my father?" Xiao Xuanxuan asked curiously with her cute big eyes blinking.
