Will Li Fei go to work honestly and be the seventh grade, and work diligently to wait for promotion? Of course, the answer is no.

Although he wanted to make a better position in the Tang Dynasty, the higher his status, the more beneficial it was, the more powerful it was, the Marquis of Jingyang was just a vacant position, and what really improved his status was the real lack of real power. The seventh-rank official position of the Ministry of Justice seemed small, but it did start from the vacant position to the real power, and no matter how many nobles asked for it, they could not get it.

However, Li Fei knew very clearly that the seemingly prosperous Tang Dynasty had become in danger due to the ten years of exhaustion and ten years of decentralization of power by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. He had only four or five years left before the prosperous era, and he could not afford to wait.

Li Fei had his own ideas, and he had to go his own way.

The next day, Li Fei took Cao Chong and Cao Xiaozhong and his son to Zhaojiayao.

On the way, Li Fei talked to Cao Chong and Cao Xiaozhong and his son about squatting, ceramic tiles and cement, and focused on cement.

"After solidifying, it's hard as a stone? Is there such a magical thing?" Cao Chong took a breath.

"Brother, you are so awesome!" Cao Xiaozhong also looked admiring.

Afterwards, Cao Chong asked Li Fei about his plans, thinking that Li Fei must have some ideas and what he wants.

Li Fei did not hide it and told his plans frankly.

"Squatting pits and ceramic tiles are naturally introduced to the market, and you can make as much money as possible. Cement is also planned to be introduced to the market, but more importantly, if the cement is well operated, I can make a great contribution to the court and my official position can be promoted a little." Li Fei said with a smile.

If you want to make merits and promote yourself, increase your status, and as a modern comer, there are many advanced things in your mind. What is better and more convenient than taking a different approach?

After hearing Li Fei say this, Cao Chong did not doubt at all. If cement is as magical as Li Fei said, and if it is well operated, it will indeed make great contributions to the court. Li Fei's real power position is the seventh rank at this moment. With such contributions, it should be no problem to go up one or two levels.

Cao Chong felt more and more that Li Fei was ambitious. The final achievements of a person like Li Fei must be amazing. Following Li Fei is right. Perhaps the Cao family can really reshape the family business and even go to the next level!

"Prodigal son, please learn from me!" Cao Chong kicked Cao Xiaozhong hard.

Li Fei is less than seventeen years old and has such a cunning and IQ. He has achieved his current status and is extremely angry. Why is his son so stupid?

------------

Zhaojiayao.

In addition to the century-old kiln that still plays its greatest value to fire porcelain, Li Fei also asked Zhao Meng and Zhao Ye and his son to re-expand four other kilns, one specializing in firing ceramic tiles and squatting pits, and the other three full efforts to fire cement.

The expansion of the Dayao actually started to be expanded since Li Fei went to Xunyang County to pick up Lin Shiyue.

Now half a month has passed and the construction has basically been completed.

The reason why Cao Chong and Cao Xiaozhong and his son came here was mainly to let the father and son supervise the firing, and to fire a batch of ceramic tiles and cement as soon as possible in a short period of time.

"This cement is sold by pound, and at least 5 cents per pound is required. One hundred pounds is 500 cents. If a large kiln is not stopped day and night, it will not be a problem to burn six or seven thousand pounds a day, and three large kilns at least 20,000 pounds of cement a day." Li Fei said with a smile.

"Mr. Marquis, cement can only be sold to wealthy people, high-ranking officials, etc. How do you plan to launch it? Will anyone believe it?" Cao Chong asked the key point. It is not a problem to produce 20,000 kilograms of cement a day, but how to sell it so that the high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an City believe it and are interested in buying it back is the key point.

In addition to cement, squat pits and ceramic tiles can only be sold to those high-ranking officials.

"Don't worry, I have a strategy! Five days later, I will host all the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City at the Marquis' Mansion. That would be the best sales opportunity!" Li Fei has been the adopted son of Yang Guifei, was named the Marquis of Jingyang, and has also repaired the mansion. Over such a long time, he has not invited the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City once.

In any case, as long as the title of Concubine Li Fei’s adopted son, most of the dignitaries in Chang'an City will give face.

If a banquet takes a little longer, what place should everyone use? The toilet! By that time, the toilet made from squats and tiles will be clean enough to blind them.

Li Fei had reason to believe that it would be as uncomfortable as death to use the toilets of his Jingyang Marquis' Mansion and then go back to use their foul-stealing cottages that cannot stop the stench.

Except for those who work in the court, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles do nothing, enjoy life, and find things they are interested in. Renovating a good toilet to block the stench and make it more comfortable than in an ordinary thatched cottage can definitely make them chase after it. At that time, will the tiles, squat pits and cement still worry about selling?

Li Fei talked about his ideas with Cao Chong, Cao Xiaozhong and his son, as well as Zhao Meng and Zhao Ye and his son.

"Brother, you are so clever! That's true. Now I'll go to that stinky thatched cottage again, it's like being tortured. I've used it once, and I don't believe they can stand it!" Cao Xiaozhong smiled excitedly and stared at Li Fei.

"No matter how much you sell, the Zhao family will have 20% of the profits, and you father and son will have 10%!" Li Fei said with a smile.

The Zhao family went out to the place and worked on people. The Dayao was also built by the Zhao family, so they should have 20% of it. Cao Chong and Cao Xiaozhong and his son promised them when they recruited them from Xunyang County, and all his gains would be divided into 10% for them, so they would naturally not go back on their promises.

"Brother, you are so good, why are you so embarrassed?" He said embarrassed, but Cao Xiaozhong's small eyes were shining with golden light.

Not to mention ceramic tiles and squat pits, cement produces 20,000 kilograms per kilogram and 5 cents a day, which means an income of 100,000 kilograms per day, and the raw materials are almost costly. The labor of the Tang Dynasty is only 20 to 30 cents a day, and all the labors are added together, and it takes less than 10,000 kilograms for the day, which means at least 90,000 kilograms of profit per day, which is 90 taels of silver. It is too violent!

Besides, there are tiles and squat pits, no matter how profits are, it will not be less.

The Zhao family and son were also very excited. Li Fei was willing to share 20% of the Zhao family, which was a big deal. Originally, the Zhao family and son refused to ask for it, but Li Fei knew very well that cooperation could lead to win-win results. Although the Zhao family defected to his name, he could not use the Zhao family in the form of enslavement, and that would never last long.

Cao Chong saw the other side.

"Marquis, if you are prepared to sell these things like a merchant, will it damage the Marquis' reputation?"

As a marquis, farmers, industry and commerce, Li Fei, as a marquis, and has a real position in the Ministry of Justice, is the first-class scholar. Scholars are often easily looked down upon by other scholars.

Li Fei shook his head: "The merchants are not so lowly, and they are not as wealthy as all businessmen. Many nobles secretly also involve commercial affairs, but no one says it. Besides, we are all original production of ceramic tiles, squat pits and cement. Just like ordinary farmers produce grain, you have been a county magistrate for so many years, and you will not understand the division of merchants in the Tang Dynasty. For those who buy low and sell high, you will be merchants. People produce silk cloth, grain, etc. and resell them, which does not belong to merchants. Our behavior does not belong to merchants, so how can people look down on them? It is almost the same for others to envy them."

"The Marquis is thoughtful, so there is no doubt about this." Although he defected to Li Fei, Cao Chong still did not want to be despised by the businessmen before he could force him.

Li Fei came back from Zhaojiayao and quickly made an invitation to invite the high-ranking officials and nobles from Chang'an City to come to the banquet so that he could implement his "big plan"!
