In the famine, she stockpiled space supplies and became a bandit.

Chapter 151: Opening the Academy

"So..." Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and stared at Rong Bai.

"You, don't look at me like that." Rong Bai was sweating profusely when he was looked at by her. He quickly raised the abacus to block Luo Xi's sight, but after a while his eyes suddenly widened.

"You, you don't want to attack the Rong family, do you?"

Rong Bai suddenly wanted to die.

Did he try to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, only to end up being harmed by the tiger instead?

"Boss, our Rong family is so poor that we can't afford to support so many scholars. Really, look at me, look at my clothes. I've been wearing them for three years and I still don't have money to buy new ones."

Poor!

Wei Qing's heart softened immediately, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said, "Boss, how about we open fewer stores?"

"Wei Qing, are we still brothers?" Rong Bai gave him a look.

The money used to pay less is Rong family’s money.

Humph! Too much!

Yin Li regained his sanity at this time: "Boss, I know we are indeed quite wealthy now, but it is still very difficult to run so many academies."

"Money is one thing, but we don't have that many books. Even if we let all the writers who can write copy them day and night, we still can't produce that many books, not to mention writing brushes, inkstones, where can we get so many?"

Nowadays, all books are hand-copied. It is relatively quick to copy thinner ones, but if they are thicker, it may take several days to copy one.

Moreover, paper is expensive, so only bamboo slips can be used, and transportation and preservation are also big problems.

How could Luo Xi not think of these problems? She already had ideas.

"Chu Zhe, I leave all the books and pens to you." She smiled.

"Me?" Chu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I should have told you that I majored in administrative management. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Really?" Luo Xi continued to look at him: "If my memory serves me correctly, in the past, when I was a special assistant, I had to be round when my boss told me to be round, and square when his boss told me to be square."

She tapped the table with her fingers twice and said with a curled lip: "Unfortunately, I'm your boss now."

Chu Zhe stared at her for a long time, and soon a series of low and pleasant laughs came out of his throat.

"Okay, leave it to me." He said helplessly.

"That's more like it." Luo Xi knew Chu Zhe's abilities very well, but he was a rather indifferent person, especially after coming here from the end of the world.

Apart from making some delicious food every day, he usually likes to sit quietly by himself. Since he moved into her mansion, Luo Xi has rarely seen him go out. Oh, by the way, except for going to the General's Mansion to see Le Zheng Feiyuan.

If you don't find this guy something to do, mushrooms will grow on his head.

"Come to me if you need anything. As for money, go to Rong Bai."

Chu Zhe had just nodded when Rong Bai started yelling again: "I haven't agreed yet. You all want to take advantage of the Rong family. You are really going too far."

"I didn't take advantage of you." Luo Xi couldn't help but glared at him: "From now on, all the money and property of our Chaoyang Villa will be under your control. In other words, you will be our Minister of Finance in the future."

"Wei Qing, after collecting Rui, give them to Rong Bai. The same goes for Yin Li. If your barracks need anything, just ask him."

Luo Xi looked at Rong Bai and said, "Aren't you always the best at accounting? Now that I'm letting you take care of everyone's property, don't let us starve to death."

Rong Bai was stunned at first, but soon his lips stretched to his ears: "You, are you serious? All the property will be under my control? Are you kidding?"

He is just the son of a merchant and he doesn't like to study. Is this possible?

Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class.

Although he is lazy, it is because he knows that no matter how much money he makes, it will only be so-so. But if given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to go further?

Luo Xi smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true. I think with your many years of business experience, it should be no problem, right?"

"No problem, no problem. What's the problem?" Rong Bai jumped up and said, "I may not be as good as you guys in other aspects, but if we talk about the accounts, all of you combined are still no match for me."

He completely changed from his previous depressed look, and started to smile and make all kinds of strange faces.

This guy must have been a monkey in his previous life. Luo Xi ignored him: "Yin Li, there is nothing to do in the military camp right now, and you are the best among us in terms of knowledge and ability."

"So, the affairs of the academy are now handed over to you. As for what books you want and how many copies you want, once you have decided, take a sample to Chu Zhe and he will get it done for you."

"Of course, you can also discuss it. Chu Zhe knows a lot about this."

Yin Li was actually full of confusion, but he didn't ask anything: "Okay, Boss."

"It's just books..." He sighed: "I don't have many here. I was being hunted down at the time, and I didn't have time to collect those I had before."

"This..." Luo Xi was also embarrassed. Although she had a lot of books in her space, they were all modern books and it was not suitable to take them out.

"Have you forgotten someone?" Chu Zhe said, "Who can compare to the Right Prime Minister in terms of the most books? And the Si County Magistrate is now our neighbor, so why don't we ask him for help?"

"Yes." Luo Xi's eyes lit up: "I will write to him in a while."

"Okay, that's it for now. You all can go about your own business," she said.

Rong Bai thought about it and thought: "No, Boss, we have taken care of everything. What about you?"

"Me?" Luo Xi leaned back in his chair leisurely, took a sip of tea and said, "Of course I'm at the helm. As the leader, I just need to make sure our ship is heading in the right direction."

Rong Bai curled his lips and sighed: "Okay."

But after a while, he started to hum a little tune, and the smile on his face never faded.

Luo Xi never liked to procrastinate, so he immediately handed over all the financial matters to Rong Bai.

Because Luo Xi had taught Rong Bai modern mathematical tables before, the transition was quick and the genius Hei basically finished it.

Rong Bai looked at the keys, seals and other items in his hand, still a little dazed.

He really got an amazing job.

"Let's go home and let the old man have some fun." Rong Bai rushed home happily.

Master Rong was really delighted. After hearing what Rong Bai said, he kept spinning in circles in the room.

"Good, that's great. Our Rong family will actually have a day to change its fate. That's great."

"Come here, inform them that I will set up a buffet for a month to let those who look down on my Rong family see who looks down on whom in the future."

"Dad!" Although Rong Bai was also happy, he knew better that a big tree attracts the wind.

"The situation in Tianqi is complicated now. We should keep a low profile to avoid causing trouble for the boss."

Master Rong's overheated mood finally cooled down: "My son has really grown up."

"You're right. We can't be too ostentatious. Let's go to the ancestral hall with dad and burn incense for our ancestors. Then we can have a good drink together tonight."

This is fine, Rong Bai nodded with a smile.
