Chapter 17 The Ethics of a Merchant!
Looking at the helpless expression on Chen Yan's face, Liu Yueying smiled with crooked eyebrows, and then called someone to hug those milk dolls back.
This time it reduced a lot of burden on Chen Yan, at least he didn't have to find someone to take care of those milk dolls.
……
Anping City, the atmosphere in the city is stagnant, especially at the gate of the city, it can be described as three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the original lazy guards are all in spirit.
The faces of the people who came in and out were also full of panic, and the streets of Anping City were deserted, all because of a piece of news.
Xu Xiancheng, who went out of the city to chase the thief who killed people on the street, was killed!
The corpse was thrown on the official road, and a lot of blood flowed!
The whole of Anping, and even the whole of Qinzhou, was shaken!
There are thieves who are so rampant that they dare to attack and kill court officials even if they kill people on the street?!
It is said that Qinzhou City has already mobilized its troops to prepare to encircle and suppress those thieves, and the atmosphere in the entire Anping City is very stagnant.
Except for one place, there was a long queue outside Wanxiang Pavilion, and the brightly dressed domestic servants showed anxious expressions.
Recently, Wanxiang Pavilion has come out with a new thing, many rich ladies and ladies have already used it, it is said that it is used to wash, not only can it be washed very clean, but also the body is dry after washing, and there is a faint fragrance residue.
It is said that even the lady of the main house with the smell of the fox in Mr. Wang's house has used it, and sure enough, after using it, not only the fox smell is gone, but even the body is fragrant, and Mr. Wang has been staying in the main house for several nights.
Wanxiangge's business is booming, soap is selling very well, and Wu Linglong's face is full of smiles that can't be hidden these days.
"Shopkeeper Wu, have you finished inspecting the goods?"
Ma Liu sat opposite Wu Linglong and asked a little anxiously.
"Giggle...... Brother Ma is in a hurry, such a big business, of course the slave family has to be more meticulous. ”
Wu Linglongjiao said with a smile, Ma Liu's eyes were a little dodgy, this woman's charm was too great, and he, a young man with strong blood, couldn't stand it.
"Then please ask the shopkeeper Wu to hurry up, our son-in-law also instructed me to buy other goods."
Ma Liu drank a cup of tea. urged.
"Oh~ yes, I don't know, what kind of goods does your son-in-law want? Let's talk about it, maybe I have a way here. ”
"Even if you want armor and weapons, I don't necessarily can't get them."
Wu Linglong held her cheeks with both hands and said with a smile.
Ma Liu was instantly startled, got up from his seat with a bang, the long knife in his hand was unsheathed, and his eyes were staring at Wu Linglong.
"You...... Who are you? ”
"Giggle...... The slave is just a merchant. ”
Wu Linglong leaned back on the seat a little lazily, and her graceful body curves were fully revealed.
"Giggle...... You can't be the master of this matter, please invite your son to come over, I'm quite interested in him. ”
"I really can't imagine that a small Erfeng Mountain has such a character."
"You...... How do you know that we are from Erfeng Mountain? ”
Ma Liu stared at Wu Linglong very vigilantly and asked.
"Heh, just the murderous aura on your body, you can feel it from several meters away, at first glance, it is a guy with a lot of lives on his hands, and near this Anping, in addition to Erfeng Mountain, is there anything else?"
"I hope to see your son next time~"
Wu Linglong looked at Ma Liu and said, and seeing that Ma Liu didn't react after speaking, she said loudly outside.
"Xiao Er, come and settle the payment for this little brother Ma, don't let people say that our Wanxiang Pavilion is unruly."
……
Liangfeng Mountain, Erfeng Mountain, Chen Yan just came out of the gunpowder workshop, and was stopped by Ma Liu, who came back from purchasing supplies.
"Coming back? How's things going? ”
Chen Yan patted the dust on his hands, looked at Ma Liu and asked.
Ma Liu had a bitter face, told Chen Yan what happened in Wanxiang Pavilion, and asked with some concern.
"Uncle, what should we do now?"
Chen Yan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
"Is the soap selling so well, so should I raise the price?"
Ma Liu: "......"
"Uncle, I mean Wu Linglong's ......"
"It's okay over there, didn't she say she's a businessman, then we'll just do business with her honestly."
Chen Yan said nonchalantly.
Wu Linglong has called himself a businessman, and he still has nothing to worry about.
Think about the eight Jin merchants in the Ming Dynasty, they also called themselves businessmen, digging into the corners of the country, and doing things without the slightest burden of fornicating with foreign enemies.
For businessmen, as long as they have money to make, nothing else matters, they do not have the slightest loyalty to the country, the court, and even the nation.
"Uncle, she said she wanted to see you."
Ma Liu said.
"If you want to see me, let her come to the stockade."
Chen Yan said casually that he was going to give a lesson to the young men in the village who were practicing.
Originally, he only planned to run a school to teach those half-grown children, but in the end, many young people also mixed into the classroom to listen to the lectures after the drill.
Chen Yan thought about it, and simply absorbed all the young men who were practicing in the village into the school.
Anyway, a sheep is also a drive, and a flock of sheep is also a herding!
Chen Yan divided the class time of the day into three parts, morning, afternoon, and evening, teaching different people to read and read.
In the morning, part of the young people practiced, some followed Chen Yan to read and read, in the afternoon, the two parts of the people changed, and the evening was the time for those half-grown children.
In this way, there will not be too many people in one class!
But even so, it's normal for more than 100 people to be crowded into a classroom in one class!
Chen Yan walked into the classroom, which was a vacant and spacious hall, and walked onto the podium, and a large group of students in the classroom stood up and saluted Chen Yan.
Chen Yan bowed slightly, and the smile on his face looked very satisfied.
Chen Yan never expected that his hand would cause an unexpected effect, and these students would have a tendency to be loyal to him, although it was only a trend, but it also made Chen Yan excited.
He underestimated the power of the master-apprentice position in this era, and being a teacher for one day and a father for life is not just talking!
The master can be called half a father, and the student betrays the teacher, which is unfilial!
Today, Chen Yan is going to give a lesson to some young people, and after Chen Yan taught them a few words, he turned around and wrote two big characters in the center of the blackboard.
Chinese!
And also with chalk to draw a circle, the blackboard chalk is also made by Chen Yan, the blackboard is made of a piece of wood painted with black lacquer, chalk is made of lime mixed with clay, the technical content is not high.
"Do you all know what these two words are?"
Chen Yan turned around and looked at the students below with blazing eyes.
Everyone shook their heads, a little puzzled what Chen Yan was going to do, in the past, after Chen Yan taught them to read, he would always tell them a few interesting stories about history, or share some things that sounded fantastical.
Broaden their horizons!
