"Investment?"
Li Si had never heard of this name. He stopped with some confusion and turned to look at Ran Fang.
When he felt the confused and angry eyes behind him, he immediately reacted and continued walking forward.
Ran Fang was very calm. He nodded and then explained: "Yes, investment promotion."
"We just need to cooperate with businessmen in the city and ask them to fund the establishment of a school. At the same time, we can write the name of their shop in a prominent place in the school so that people can see it at a glance."
"Or, if they are willing, let the older students only attend half-day classes every day, and use the rest of the time to promote them."
"In this way, the popularity of those shops will be expanded, so that people without money outside the city can also know their names."
"Those people don't have money now, but they will gradually become rich in the future. These are hidden customers."
"And they can still get praise from His Majesty. This is a business that is sure to make money without losing money for them."
"I think if there is another inscription from His Majesty, not many people will refuse it, right?"
Ran Fang's words successfully attracted Li Si's interest.
He suddenly remembered that when Ran Fang first started doing business, a sign was placed outside the Liuguang Pavilion with the same style as His Majesty, which attracted many customers.
Later, when the tea house was opened, His Majesty directly asked him to inscribe the name personally. Now the business of the tea house is the only one in the city that is good.
Some people also want to imitate the tea house's business, but no matter how they run it, they can't compare to Xichuan Tea House. After all, when people mention it, they always say that His Majesty also drinks tea there.
This thing is a living sign.
After thinking about this, Li Si couldn't help but admired sincerely: "Sir, you are really smart."
"With His Majesty's signature, those people will definitely be very willing."
"Now that the matter of building the school has been settled, the matter of their schooling will be left to the teacher."
Ran Fang nodded slightly, accepting the matter.
Just when he thought the matter was over, he heard Li Si ask again: "I don't know what happened today, what do you think?"
What happened today was that Ying Zheng wanted to find a teacher for Hu Hai just now in the palace.
The incident happened suddenly, and Ran Fang also felt a little strange.
All right, why did Ying Zheng think of finding a teacher for Hu Hai?
And he still chooses one of the three of them. If there is no problem, no one will believe it.
But in front of Li Si, Ran Fang would not discuss royal matters casually.
"Your Majesty has his own reasons for doing things. I am just a minister. How can I criticize His Majesty's actions?"
"Besides, if this matter is left to Prime Minister Feng, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you or me."
"It is enough to do your own thing well and satisfy His Majesty."
Naturally, Li Si would not listen to such perfunctory rhetoric.
He saw that Ran Fangming knew something but was unwilling to say it, so he took the initiative to show his sincerity.
It's not because he really wants to know something, it's just a way to show good will.
If you want to gain someone's trust, especially the trust of a smart person like Ran Fang, you must first make an attitude yourself.
"That's true, but if this matter concerns Da Qin, it should still be taken seriously."
"I heard a few days ago that Mr. Hu Hai's confinement has been lifted, but he did not go out and started reading seriously in the house."
"Then this happened."
"Master Hu Hai has a bit of a naughty temper. It is almost impossible for him to study, let alone find someone to study in person."
"In the beginning, Zhao Gao was favored by Master Hu Hai just because he was willing to play with him."
"Now that something like this has happened, I always feel... I'm afraid there's something going on that you and I don't know about."
"Therefore, I will remind you."
Ran Fang looked at Li Si in surprise, as if he was quite surprised by what he said.
In fact, there was an informant from Ran Fang in the palace, so he naturally knew about these things, but he was really surprised by Li Si's blatant show of kindness.
But he still had the vigilance he should have, and now he could only pretend to be clueless and smile friendly at Li Si.
"That's it. Fortunately, I pushed the matter away just now."
"But I think that although Mr. Hu Hai is a bit naughty, he is still kind-hearted and will not do anything."
"Under the guidance of Prime Minister Feng, I will change my previous ideas, and maybe I can achieve a career in the future?"
"But thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me. I will take this matter to heart."
This was obviously just a shirk, and Li Si naturally heard the perfunctoriness in his words.
However, the sincerity that should be given is sufficient. As for the choice, it is Ran Fang's business.
"You don't have to be so polite. You and I are both officials, so it's natural for us to help each other."
"I just hope that if you have any news in the future, sir, you can also inform me so that I can make preparations."
Ran Fang chuckled, seeming to agree with Li Si's overture.
However, when he spoke, he was not so kind.
"I hope the prime minister can keep his word."
"I have a problem here. I wonder if the Prime Minister can help me solve it?"
Li Si naturally had no reason to refuse. He nodded and replied: "Of course you can."
Seeing this, Ran Fang stopped hiding and said bluntly: "I don't know if the Prime Minister knows that my bodyguard Zhang Liang has now become an official of the business yamen, and your majesty also rewarded him with a residence."
"This is a great kindness!"
"It's just that after he moved in, he discovered that Miao Yutang from the Miao family actually lived next door to him."
"Did His Majesty do this intentionally? Or was it unintentional?"
"I wonder what the Prime Minister has to say?"
Hearing this, Li Si's expression moved slightly. He had naturally heard about Zhang Liang's appointment as an official, but these matters had nothing to do with him. It was enough to inquire about some information from time to time.
Therefore, he did not find out the news that Zhang Liang and Miao Yutang were neighbors.
Now that Ran Fang mentioned it, it was arranged by Ying Zheng, so it's hard not to think too much about it.
"Is this happening? I don't know anything about it."
"However, Your Majesty always has his own reasons for doing things, and I'm afraid this matter is no exception."
Hearing his answer, Ran Fang smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.
"The Prime Minister's words make sense."
With that said, they had already walked outside the palace gate. Ran Fang glanced at the carriage in front and said, "My carriage is already waiting there, so I won't invite the Prime Minister to come."
"Farewell."
After saying that, he saluted Li Si and walked towards his carriage.
Seeing that he didn't seem to believe what he said, Li Si wasn't angry at all and looked like he was smiling.
Then, he also walked towards his carriage and got into the carriage with the help of the guards.
Feng Quji was left alone standing there, watching their respective backs as they left, cursed angrily, and then had no choice but to get on the carriage and leave.
Sitting in the carriage, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and at the same time he was a little frightened. Did Ran Fang discover something?
"Go to the commanding embassy!"
