    That afternoon, Master Qi immediately started building the school.  In the next few days, Li Feng was always there to help.  The construction of this school requires a lot of windows for light problems, so the construction material is mainly wood.  Although Li Feng doesn't know how to do carpentry, he has the strength to carry things, so he is an excellent candidate.

    Speaking of which, Li Feng really likes this lively working atmosphere.  I remember when I was a child, it was the same in rural areas. If someone built a house, relatives and neighbors would come to help.  However, later on, people seemed to get tired of this approach.  All things in quantity have been commercialized.

    In short, there is more of a money flavor and less of a human flavor.  Between people, there is less simplicity and enthusiasm, and of course there is more indifference.

    Today Li Feng came to work as always, and it will be completed in a day or two.  However, it was a pity that Xiaohu came to tell him that someone was looking for him.

    "Why is Cui Yingying here? I remember she hasn't been here for a long time."

    On the way home, Li Feng was thinking about what would happen if Cui Yingying came to see him this time.  You know, she is different now. She has become a famous big boss in Chang'an, and she is too busy.

    When Li Feng walked to his door, he found a carriage parked there.  However, this carriage is much more luxurious than the ordinary carriage she rode in before.  Just as Li Feng passed the carriage, the coachman, who had been sitting on the carriage with his eyes closed and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Feng carefully. Then he stopped caring about Li Feng and closed his eyes to meditate again.

    "Oh, not only has this carriage become more upscale, it also has a master as a bodyguard."

    Li Feng¡¯s sensitive sense made him immediately believe that this driver was definitely a master.  After muttering in his heart, he ignored him and walked directly to his home.

    "Brother Li, you are back. Well, Yingying has met Brother Li."

    As soon as Li Feng entered, Cui Yingying's voice reached his ears.  It sounds like he is still happy.  Li Feng looked up and saw Cui Yingying standing next to Rou Niang looking at him very cutely.  It's just that Rou Niang is sitting and she is standing.  He should have just stood up.

    "Yingying, why are you so polite? Sit down. I haven't seen you for a while. Yingying, you have changed a lot. Not only is the car more luxurious, but it is also equipped with bodyguards. Even your temperament has changed a lot.  He is indeed a big boss, but it¡¯s different.¡±

    Li Feng walked over and joked half-truthfully to Cui Yingying.

    "That's right. When sister Yingying first came in, I thought it was the eldest lady who had gone to the wrong door. Who knew, when I looked carefully, it turned out to be sister Yingying."

    After hearing what Li Feng said.  Rou Niang also said teasingly.  Now Rou Niang has completely lost the melancholy she once had, and has become much more cheerful.  In the past, she would not have made such a joke.

    "Brother Li. Sister Rou Niang, please don't cancel me. Talk about the big boss. Brother Li is the real rich man now. I am just a small shopkeeper."

    Li Feng and Rou Niang's words made Cui Yingying feel a little embarrassed.

    "Haha, I don't have the ability to become a rich man, nor do I have the interest. If I really become a rich man, I don't know where to put so much money, let alone how to spend it."

    Now Li Feng¡¯s concept of money has simply faded to the extreme.  Think about it, I used to say, buy a car, buy a house, marry a wife, and send your children to school.  Countless people have to work their whole lives for this.  Unfortunately, it is no longer used at all.  Now that I have a wife, let alone the car, the house will be built after a while.

    It¡¯s just that when building a house, you prepare the materials yourself or hire someone else?  No need, when the time comes, everyone will come together to help, no matter the money.  Calculated in this way, it is just a treat for everyone. How much money can this cost?

    There is no need to provide children with education. When the time comes, when there are children, you can just teach them yourself.

    So, all that¡¯s left is food and clothing.  Needless to say, eating is self-sufficient.  Rou Niang makes it herself.

    In the end, you will be self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation.  If you have money, what can you buy?  Li Feng often misses that he has a computer and can access the Internet, but he cannot sell it.  In short, I want to buy it, but I don¡¯t have to sell it.  What you have to sell is what you have at home, or what you don¡¯t need.

    These days, people¡¯s greatest happiness is to have enough food and clothing.  And these are too simple things for Li Feng.

    Money is useless, this is the source of Li Feng¡¯s happiness.

    "Hehe, I don't believe it, then take a look at this."

      Seeing that Li Feng didn't seem to understand what she was talking about, Cui Yingying felt moved. Then she took out a book with a smile and handed it to Li Feng.

    "What is this? Let me take a look Well, this seems to be an account book. I said Yingying, why did you give me an account book? Is it possible that you still want me to help you with the account book? Forget it, you have this account book  It¡¯s so irregular, I¡¯ll be dizzy just looking at it.¡±

    In this era, there were no Arabic numerals, let alone data tables.  The accounting method is purely a running account, which is extremely cumbersome.  After two glances, Li Feng immediately closed the ledger.  It's just that he was curious about why Cui Yingying showed him the account book, and it seemed that the account book had something to do with him.

    ¡°Up here, all the income from selling wine and money in the past half month has been deposited with the emperor. When the time comes, you can go find the emperor yourself.¡±

    Seeing Li Feng take a second look and then close the account book, Cui Yingying knew that Li Feng still didn't understand what she meant.  So, he added.

    "Oh, it turns out that this is the case. You can handle these things yourself. From now on, these account books and the like will not be better than what I brought you. As for the money you get, you can do it yourself. Don't go there  I'll send it here. I don't have room to put that money."

    At this time, Li Feng finally understood what Cui Yingying was talking about, but he had no intention of doing so.  It was out of consideration for Cui Yingying that I went to see Li Shimin.

    "You are the boss, and I am just the shopkeeper. Of course I have to report to you. Since you don't want to read it, forget it. It took so long for them to re-write the account books for you. If you don't read it, then  I¡¯ll just tell you.¡±

    Looking at Li Feng¡¯s expression, Cui Yingying knew that if she hadn¡¯t mentioned it, they would have simply forgotten about it.  However, Li Feng could forget, but she could not forget.  Li Feng's appearance brought her back from despair.  Without his appearance, she wouldn't know whether she was a human or a ghost now.

    Cui Yingying has been busy during this time. At first, she was busy building a brewing workshop.  After all, this is Erguotou¡¯s biggest secret.  In order to keep the work secret, it really took her a lot of brains.  After finishing the brewing workshop and starting to make wine, I have to be busy dealing with the sales channels of the wine.

    The emperor had already requested that most of these wines be sold to foreigners.  So that's the stuff involved.  But there are more.  Until a few days ago, I finally sorted everything out and everything was on track.  Only then did she finally be able to take a breath for a while.  So, he ran to Li Feng non-stop to report the situation.

    who knows.  Li Feng's reaction made her both disappointed and touched.

    "Haha, it seems that this time I must have made my second son very happy. Foreign trade in this era. It's just like robbing money."

    After listening to Cui Yingying¡¯s detailed explanation, Li Feng finally understood it.  How profitable is foreign trade in this era?  It¡¯s no wonder that so many wars were launched for this so-called Silk Road.

    "It's a pity that I was the one who negotiated with the emperor, and we only occupied two floors. If you, Brother Li, had gone to negotiate, you would have been able to get more. Huh, the emperor must have known that you didn't care, Brother Li, so he bullied me like this.  A weak woman."

    Speaking of money, Cui Yingying felt distressed and remorseful again, because she had negotiated the matter.

    "Brother Li, there is one more thing that I need to get your permission for. Now that the export issue has been solved, I basically don't need to worry about it. Therefore, I plan to slowly expand the restaurant business everywhere. So.  Once this happens, we have to use the money we get from selling the wine. This is a big deal, so we need your consent."

    Suddenly, Cui Yingying said to Li Feng with an embarrassed look.  Because she has selfish motives in this matter, and she wants to use this move to suppress Wangji Restaurants across the country.

    "Didn't I tell you earlier that you can make your own decisions about these matters? By the way, I remembered, does the emperor also need to be involved in this matter?"

    Thinking about it carefully, Li Feng finally remembered this incident.  Wasn't it because of the buffet hot pot on the day he got married that they agreed upon it.  When Li Shimin heard this, he realized that this move could save a lot of food and avoid extravagance and waste, so he strongly supported it.

    "Well, yes, the emperor was indeed involved, but I am responsible for everything."

    "That's fine. Although the second brother is a bit stingy, with his support, things will be much easier to handle. At least, safety will be guaranteed."

    When Li Feng heard this, Li Shimin was indeed involved, so he said nothing.  As for how the business is done, whether it makes money or loses money, he doesn't care.

    ? ??Thank you Brother Li, I¡­¡­¡±

    "Okay, I've said it before, you can make your own decisions about these things. I won't get involved. In fact, there is no need to go to such trouble. Opening branches one by one is too time-consuming and very expensive.  It¡¯s difficult to manage. There is a better way that can help you achieve your goal quickly.¡±

    Li Feng already knew what Cui Yingying wanted to do, so he didn't wait for her to say anything else.  If acquaintance can help, Li Feng will do his best to help.

    "What's a better way? Brother Li, what is it? During this time, I am worried. If we really want to open branches all over the country, it will take a long time. Moreover, it will require countless manpower. How?  Controlling these branches is also a huge problem because it takes a long time to go back and forth.¡±

    Cui Yingying immediately became happy when she heard that Li Feng had a better way.  During this time, she had been thinking about this matter a lot.

    In this era, the biggest difficulty lies in transportation.  Inconvenient transportation has caused inconvenience in the transmission of information, as well as settlement of money, etc., which are all very difficult.

    As the saying goes, parents are not traveling far away, which is the reason for the inconvenience of transportation.  What the ancients feared most was traveling far away. If it was not too far, it would take three or two months, and if it was further away, it would take a year and a half.  If something happened outside, it would be terrible.

    "That's right. Since it's so troublesome to open a branch by ourselves, then let's let the locals open it. Anyway, as long as we don't let people from the Wang family open it, everything else is easy, right?"

    ¡°In business these days, the only ones who want to flourish are those super big families.  There are many people, so send one person here and one person there to manage them on the spot.  At that time, just come back once a year and report on the situation.  Obviously, it is too difficult for Cui Yingying to achieve this.  Even if Li Shimin recruits people for her, it will be difficult to do it. After all, this issue of loyalty is the biggest problem.

    "AhBrother Li, what do you mean? Just follow the shape of the self-service hot pot restaurant we are about to build, and then let those who are interested in opening a store open a store locally according to this pattern. As for us,  We can use Erguotou as a winning weapon to contain those stores.¡±

    "In this way, we can achieve both the emperor's intention and my purpose. Anyway, as long as we investigate clearly and prevent people from the Wang family from getting in. And with Erguotou's reputation, there must be many people willing to do it. That way  Wouldn't it serve the purpose of suppressing the Wang family? Moreover, in a very short period of time, restaurants like this could appear in countless places. "

    I saw Cui Yingying thinking there while analyzing the benefits.  Li Feng once again sighed that Cui Yingying was really born to do business.

    "Brother Li, your idea is a good one, but if someone else has opened this store, how can we make money? Although we don't need to invest any money, we have given up such a good business to others for nothing.  . It¡¯s really unfair to you.¡±

    Not long after, Cui Yingying suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Feng, and said excitedly.  The emperor achieved his goal, and so could she.  However, not only did Li Feng gain nothing, but the self-service hot pot business was also given to others in vain.

    ??There is no doubt whether this self-service hot pot, combined with Erguotou, can make money.

    "Okay, when have I ever thought about making money with these things? In fact, if you really want to make money, it's easy. If you want to blackmail people, just say, you will share the dividends with anyone who wants to open such a store.  It's too troublesome to pay dividends, just pay how much you want every year. If you want to be more legitimate, you have to put in some effort, for example, come up with some unique hot pot ingredients, give them to them, and then collect them openly.  money¡­¡­."

    Li Feng thought about the so-called franchise chain stores in his previous life, and began to choose something suitable for this era, and slowly started talking to Cui Yingying.

    "Brother Li, you are really unworthy of your talent if you don't do business. If you do business, you will definitely become the most powerful profiteer in the entire Tang Dynasty, haha"

    When Li Feng finished speaking, Cui Yingying first looked at Li Feng with admiration, and then gave him the title of a profiteer.  In her opinion, some of the ideas Li Feng mentioned were really bad.  It's like after you sell out to others, others still have to help count the money.

    "This girl is really ignorant. Hey, any modern person can become a profiteer if he goes back to ancient times."

    Seeing Cui Yingying¡¯s expression, Li Feng didn¡¯t bother to argue with her.

      Is it possible not to commit adultery? I didn¡¯t see it. There was a sketch about a fool. He was deceived so many times that he became an expert in preventing deception.  (To be continued)
