Liu Qing's little fat head suddenly had countless question marks.
"what?"
"What fish?"
Liu Qing lived for more than 20 years and was only interested in money in his life.
As for the rest, they know nothing about it and can’t understand it at all!
Especially in the short two sentences the Fourth Prince just said, there were countless words for "fish".
Liu Qing felt like he was going to faint just by listening to it!
Song Huan patiently explained: "If I reward you with money directly, wouldn't it be equivalent to treating you as my slave?"
"Instead of giving you a sum of money that will be spent sooner or later, I would rather teach you how to make money!"
"After you master the method of making money, a steady stream of money will naturally appear!"
"When the time comes, will you still worry about the day when you have no money to spend?"
Liu Qing suddenly realized it and slapped his head: "Yes!"
"Fourth Prince, you are still smart. Why haven't I thought of such a simple truth before?"
"If I had thought of finding a business earlier, by now, wouldn't I have become the richest man in the capital!"
The more Liu Qing thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately raised his fat face full of expectation and asked Song Huan impatiently: "I wonder what business the Fourth Prince wants to invest in?"
"Restaurant and inn?"
"A cloth and grain merchant?"
"Or some other business?"
"I heard that Changchunfang is very popular recently. If we can also participate in it..."
Liu Qing described it with excitement, as if he saw countless banknotes waving to him.
Song Huan just shook his head lightly: "The ways to make money you mentioned are really boring."
"You can't make a lot of money."
"You can't make much money from this?" Liu Qing was stunned!
As far as he knew, if nothing else, the daily turnover of Changchunfang alone was nearly ten thousand taels of silver!
If this is considered a lot of money, then Liu Qing really doesn’t know what making a lot of money is!
Song Huan smiled mysteriously: "There is no rush in this matter, you have to take your time."
“Let’s take the first step: start a school!”
"School?"
Liu Qing blinked in confusion.
"Your Highness, what you want to say is private school!"
"Don't tell me, you can really make a lot of money by opening a private school!"
"As far as I know, the tuition fees at the famous Hongyuan Private School in the capital are staggeringly expensive!"
"But those who can afford to go to private schools are from wealthy families, so naturally they won't care about the tuition fees."
Unexpectedly, Song Huan said seriously: "As the saying goes, no matter how poor you are, you cannot lack education!"
"Now that the imperial examination system is about to be implemented, if only children from rich families can go to school, then those from humble backgrounds will not have the ability to change their destiny!"
"The schools I am talking about are not private schools that only recognize money but not people."
"On the contrary, I want to popularize nine-year compulsory education throughout the country, open primary schools, and open middle schools!"
"Let all children in Daliang have access to books and education!"
Looking at the high-spirited and passionate Song Huan, Liu Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
The fourth prince has the world in mind, and his mind and vision are by no means comparable to that of a mediocre person like himself.
No, let alone myself, even the prince who has been in the East Palace since he was a child and was carefully trained by Emperor Liang can never be compared with the fourth prince!
only……
"Your Highness, your idea is a good one!"
"only……"
"You want to open schools widely, but the money to build schools and pay for teachers to teach..."
"But it's a lot of money!"
"We haven't even started making money yet, we have to invest a lot of money!"
"And you said you don't make money from these scholars..."
"Then what can we do..."
Liu Qing was so anxious that he was scratching his head. He was also afraid that the fourth prince would think that he was a profit-seeking villain. He was also afraid that the fourth prince only cared about realizing his own ideals and didn't care even if he lost money!
Song Huan rolled his eyes: "I said this is just the first step!"
"What's more, if you open a school, I definitely can't pay for it!"
“Such a meaningful event will naturally be earmarked by the Ministry of Household Affairs and earmarked for its own use.”
"He doesn't need one more point, but he can't lose one point either!"
"Our plan will officially begin after all primary and secondary schools in Daliang begin construction."
Song Huan's analysis made Liu Qing completely confused.
Such a big step has been taken, and the official topic has not yet been mentioned!
Liu Qing couldn't help but be extremely confused.
What exactly is the way to make money that the fourth prince came up with to make a lot of money?
Seeing Liu Qing's curiosity, Song Huan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued talking.
"I will propose to my father that these primary and secondary schools should be located as close to the spacious suburbs as possible."
"In this way, it will be more convenient for children from poor backgrounds to study."
"Secondly..."
"We can speculate on housing in the school district and take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money!"
"School district room?"
Liu Qing felt that the seeds in his head were about to turn into paste!
The fourth prince was indeed no mortal, and his mind was filled with strange ideas and terms.
What kind of trouble is this so-called "school district housing"? Liu Qing has never heard of it!
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, what exactly is this 'school district room' you are talking about?"
"I've never heard of it, little one!"
Song Huan couldn't help complaining in his heart, if you have heard of this thing, it would be a ghost!
"It doesn't matter, you haven't heard of it, which proves that no one has discovered this business opportunity yet!"
"The so-called school district houses refer to houses near primary and secondary schools."
"Do you know why I plan to build middle schools and primary schools in the suburbs of the city?"
Liu Qing was puzzled and asked tentatively: "Is it... to make it easier for poor people to study?"
"Stupid!" Song Huan flicked Liu Qing's head, "This is just one of the reasons!"
"There is a deeper reason!"
"If it is built near the outskirts of the city, then those rich kids will naturally have to walk a long way to go to school every day."
"This will definitely be very inconvenient!"
"so……"
Liu Qing's eyes finally lit up.
"So His Highness can sell the houses near the school to those rich people at a high price so that they can go to and from school every day!"
"This is called a school district room!"
Song Huan nodded: "Yes!"
Although the urban development of Daliang is incomparable with contemporary first-tier cities.
However, similar to wealthy towns such as Bianjing, Liangzhou, Yangzhou, etc., a city still covers a large area.
If you want to take a carriage from the center of the city to the suburbs, it will take at least half an hour.
In order to sleep for half an hour more, those pampered rich kids would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy a house in a school district!
