Chapter 715 Preparation

After handing a book with the words "Thick Black" to Chu Yi, Liu Yi stood up and said goodbye, and then thanked Xiao Ran politely, then took the manager Chen Mingze out of the inn together.

"Young Master, that Chu Yi, you can tell at a glance that he is just a low-ranking official who is not worthy of his favor. He is vulgar and has little polite words. This time he comes to my Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, and it is still a question whether he can return to his whole body. How can he become our Liu Mansion's support in Gaochang in the future?" On the carriage, Chen Ming stood up and poured a bowl of hot tea for their young master, and asked quietly.

Just now, the young master of their family said to Chu Yi in the room, and Chen Mingze listened to everything outside the door. He had always been clear about his thoughts and guessed some of the eldest son of their family. He was trying to specially cultivate a local snake that could be used for me in Gaochang.

But that Chu Yi was just an abandoned son who was released by Emperor Gaochang. What kind of virtue is he able to win the attention of their eldest son. Even the book "Hao Hei" that only the second son, the young master Wen and the young master Ah Man in the mansion was left behind? Chen Ming was a little confused. Is it worth it for such a waste that has no future?

"Do you know why I value you at the beginning?" Without answering Chen Mingze's question, Liu Yiuan took the tea bowl he handed over and leaned close to his mouth, and asked Chen Mingze a little vaguely: "The legs and feet are just right, so he handed over the hundreds of most precious oxen in the mansion to you to take care of. Then the mansion was assassinated. Before leaving, I signaled that Butler Wuchen would give you more guidance on weekdays, and in less than half a year, he was promoted to the position of manager. Do you know why?"

"Ming will be stupid, but the boss's kindness to Mingze is unrequited, and Mingze will not be able to repay him in this life or in the next life." I wonder how their young master mentioned this for no reason, but Chen Mingze spoke wisely and expressed his loyalty with a look of gratitude.

"Among the eight people at that time, you were the first to confirm that you wanted to stay. You don't need to mention loyalty," Liu waved his hand lightly, interrupted Chen Mingze's words, looked at Chen Mingze deeply, and said, "What I value you is not only your loyalty to the Liu Mansion, but also your spirit of not wanting to be mediocre, not wanting to be poor, and not being willing to surrender to others."

"Of course, if you don't have much potential and talent, I won't spend too much effort on you. What I can give you is to fulfill your original promise and let you have no worries about food and clothing in the Liu Mansion." Without hiding it, Liu Yiu said in front of Chen Mingze very bluntly, using what he thought was, using it by measuring his talents, and teaching according to his talents. People without talent would not reuse anything they said.

"Meng's great master valued it is the blessing of the villain's previous life." Chen Mingze felt a little proud when he heard their young master say this and praise him, but more of it was from the bottom of his heart, and his gratitude for their young master's kindness.

In this world, there are many people who are unsuccessful in the world. What are they missing? Opportunities, luck, an opportunity and luck that can show their ambitions. Chen Mingze, who is over thirty years old, has a deep understanding of this, that is, he really has some talent. If he does not have the keen eyes of his young master and is sincerely promoted, Chen Mingze is afraid that he will not know which yard he is still sweeping fallen leaves in.

"I chose Chu Yi, the same is true." Seeing that Chen Mingze had already understood a little, Liu Yiu said indifferently again: "He has potential. Although he is not successful for the time being, if he is well trained, he may not have a good future in the future."

Rude, but there are many intents and recklessness, but have good plans.

After seven days of coming to the Tang Dynasty, they were trapped in post guards. If they were really a reckless and rude person, how could they just throw cups every day? Knowing that they were looking for him, but they didn't think they were confused. As soon as they spoke, they put themselves in the position of a loyal and patriotic minister, blocking the people's words. If they were just a mediocre and reckless person, to put it bluntly, they were just a fool, how could they have such scheming and strategy?

Also, through the words he had just said to Chu Yi, it was not difficult to see that this young foreign official had seen the benefits that their Liu Mansion had brought to their entire country by acquiring Bai Diezi in Gaochang. In addition, the vague temptation, he had some guesses and awareness about his actions and purpose of acquiring Bai Diezi, but these things had nothing to do with him and Gaochang, and he was too lazy to care about them.

He has real talent and foresight, but is not successful now, and is not valued for the superiors. He is even excluded from the position of a scapegoat. From Chu Yi's words and actions just now, Liu Yi can already see a rough idea, just because he is too upright.

If he was born at the right time and met a good emperor, his direct name might not be weaker than that of Wei Zheng. Unfortunately, Gaochang King Qu Wentai did not have the measure of Li Shimin tolerate others to accept advice. Therefore, if no one was there to guide him, Chu Yi, a thousand-mile horse, was afraid that before his Bole had waited for his daily carriage, he would have been whipped to death by the daily carriage.

There is a saying that adding icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send carbon in the snow. Nothing will be more unforgettable than the carbon fire in the snow when you are about to freeze to death.

So, before leaving, Liu Yi kept the charcoal fire.

A book of "black-hearted strategies" tells all the little things in the Chinese officialdom for thousands of years. If Chu Yi was not stupid, he would have been able to understand some principles of being an official and a human being. Like their second son, Luo Binwang, and Zhang Chuwen, they were all three honest people before. After reading this book, their whole body changed, became smooth, worldly, and it became a bit difficult to understand. As for the essence of the word "thick and black", they could not see the dark heart, but their faces were indeed much thicker.

It was me who brought all the three children to pieces. Liu Yi sighed softly in his heart with shame. If he hadn't been in such an era, he wouldn't have written this kind of thing for them to watch. Well, at least he wouldn't have taken it out so early.

"Young Master is right, it's a villain who is a little short-sighted." After hearing their young master's words, Chen Ming whispered a soft comment. Although he was not too clear in his heart, since their young master did this, he must have his reason. As a servant, his question just now had already surpassed it.

"After going back, I shouted to the Butler Wuchen's termination," he nodded slightly, took a sip of hot tea, and Liu Yiu turned his mind to the family business and said, "In the past two days, let the mansion speed up the preparation of some quilts, I have a lot of use."

Qin Mansion, Fang Mansion, Changsun Mansion, Gongsun General Mansion, Lu Duke, Song Duke, Ying Duke, and Princess Changle and his wife, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Huanzhu, Princess Yuzhang, Empress Changsun, Empress Yang, etc., all you can give is given, just like the promotions of some big brands in the previous life, first big and then small, first city and then township. No matter what, first build the reputation of this brand among these high-end upper-class people.

"Yes, young master, the villain has written it down." Chen Ming responded, and saw the tea in the bowl bottoming out, hurriedly got up and carried the pot to add it to their young master again.

"Also, in addition to the quilt, we will make a batch of cotton coats and cotton cloth as soon as possible," he tapped the tabletop with his fingers. Liu Yi raised his eyes to look out the window, looking at the crowds coming and going on the street, and said, "The cold winter has arrived, the weather is getting colder, and the mansion has already stored enough cotton. We must push the newly made cotton coat, cotton cloth and quilt to the market before the twelfth lunar month."

"As for how to do it," Liu Yi said: "You can ask Butler Wuchen to go to Yiheju to find that boy Ren You to help. He is the expectant sister-in-law of Sangzi, the president of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce. With him on the side, through the Dahong Chamber of Commerce and our Liu Mansion's business line, you should not encounter any difficulties."

Liu Yiu has 120 confidences about the entry of cotton products into the market, which is cheaper than silk, warmer than fur, and soft and comfortable. Not only high-ranking officials, but also ordinary people can afford it. The market demand is unprecedented, so there is no need to worry about its sales.

"Well, there is also," before Chen Mingze could reply, Liu Yiu said again: "Are you ready for the cottonseed mansion that you took off?"

"After the young master's words, I will keep them all in Curry as you told me before." Chen Mingze replied in a low voice.

"Well," nodded gently, Liu Yi said softly: "Next spring will be warm, prepare some cotton to plant. Except for the 500-acre tea garden, the rest of the fields in our mansion will be planted with cotton. In addition, some people will be organized to promote the farmers near the townships and counties to encourage them to plant them as well. In the future, our Liu Mansion can recycle them all at a high price. If they don't believe it, they can make a contract as evidence."

The rise of a cotton textile industry is most afraid of, not about the shortage of qualifications, poor management, or some talent, and other messy things like the market, but about the lack of sufficient and continuous supply of raw materials. The Liu family needs enough cotton farmers to support and provide enough cotton.

Although Gaochang’s cotton material is good, the journey is too far away, not only is the high freight, and in the next few years, there will probably be some other troubles between Gaochang and the Tang Dynasty. The Liu Mansion cannot afford it, nor can it be consumed.

"As for the matter of Chongzhou in charge of business," he saw that Chen Mingze nodded, Liu Yiu brought the topic to this headache-inducing problem and said: "I will tell his family members when I go back that no matter what, Liu Yi and the Liu family will not ignore this matter. We will try our best to rescue Chongzhou in charge of business safely."
