The carriage and horse industry is like the current transportation company, and it is a large-scale transportation company integrating freight and passenger transportation, which is a lucrative industry, and it is impossible to eat without strong financial resources and connections.

Although Xu Jin is Fei Hong's protégé, and now he is also involved with King Xing, in the final analysis, he is still a scholar with no foundation, and he cannot be compared with those families who have been operating in the local area for tens or hundreds of years, whether in terms of financial resources or connections.

Therefore, if Xu Jin just wants to get a piece of the chariot and horse shop, the gentry in those places should also be happy to see it happen in the face of King Xing and Fei Hong, but if Xu Jin doesn't try his best to monopolize this big cake, then I'm sorry, you didn't discuss it, even if the chariot and horse shop is forcibly opened, it won't last long.

Besides, King Xing's fief is thousands of miles away in Luzhou, Huguang'an, and his influence is almost none.

As for Fei Hong, the elder of the pavilion, the local gentry will give face, but they will not be too scrupulous, after all, the foundation of the Fei family is in Leadshan County, and Fei Hong now only has a name and no power.

Although Sun Sui appreciated Xu Jin, as the governor of a province, it was impossible to interfere in local business affairs, if it wasn't for King Xing to mention the carriage and horse shop to him, he didn't know that there was such a thing, not to mention that the governor served a three-year term, and he was transferred away as soon as his term of office expired.

After listening to Xu Jin's analysis, Zhu Houxi finally understood the mystery, just as Xu Jin usually said: If you don't have such a big head, don't wear such a big hat, if you take too big a step, it's easy to pull the egg, and the hat is too heavy to crook your neck.

Zhu Houxi held the folding fan in his hand and held his hands behind his back, paced back and forth like a little adult, and suddenly stopped and said: "Xingwangfu accounts for forty percent of the dry shares, Xu Jin you account for two percent, and the remaining forty percent is divided into two local clans, so let's decide!" ”

"That's okay, but which two does His Royal Highness the Prince plan to choose?" Xu Jin nodded and agreed, in fact, he was also extremely excited about the profits of the car and horse shop, and the twenty percent of the dry shares were already considerable.

Zhu Houxi pondered for a moment and said: "Just the Lou family and the Fei family, I will let Gonggong An talk about it in person, and you don't have to worry about the rest, but the daily operation and management of the carriage and horse shop must be in charge of you, and others can't trust it." ”

Xu Jin was also happy to hear this, and it was too embarrassing for him to go and talk to Fei Hong and Mountain Chief Lou Wei about business.

Zhu Houxi sat down for a while and then left with a group of guards, probably going back to find the eunuch An Dahai for a mission.

……

Time always flows inadvertently, and in a blink of an eye, at the end of May of the thirteenth year of Daming Zhengde, the eldest brother-in-law Xie Yidao has officially arrived at the county government to serve as the head catcher, and Xie Erjian and Xie Sangun also returned to their hometown in Yugan County, and the house that had been lively for a month was instantly deserted.

On May 30, the Hengfeng Carriage and Horse Shop, which had been blocked due to thieves, was reopened, but the plaque outside was replaced by the handwriting of Xingwang Zhu Youyuan: SF Carriage and Horse Dealership.

Originally, the behind-the-scenes boss of Hengfeng Carriage and Horse Shop was Ning Wangfu, but because the Carriage and Horse Dealer was suspected of being a thief, Ning Wangfu pushed 256 and did not admit that Hengfeng Carriage and Horse Shop was its industry, so the unlucky shopkeeper of the Carriage and Horse Shop carried the black pot.

After all, the carriage and horse shop is related to the people's livelihood, if it is closed for a long time, it will not only affect the livelihood of many coachmen, but also affect the lives of the people, so when Xingwang Zhu Youyuan mentioned it to Sun Sui, Sun Sui immediately agreed to transfer the carriage and horse shop to Xingwangfu to operate, and the price was very cheap.

And after Zhu Houxi went back that day, he immediately sent Eunuch An to discuss cooperation with the Fei family and the Lou family, and the matter was quickly finalized, so Xu Jin easily became a shareholder of the car and horse company, and the name "SF Car and Horse Company" was also taken by him.

Today's carriage and horse shop can be lively, almost all the gentry in the city have been invited to participate in the opening ceremony of the carriage and horse shop, in the sound of firecrackers, the red silk covering the plaque was ripped off by Han Xin, the new chief shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop, and a group of coachmen cheered, and finally could resume work.

Boss Han wore a brand-new black robe today, holding an abacus in his hand, and bowing his hands to the surroundings with a spring breeze on his face.

Although Zhu Houxi designated that Xu Jin should be in charge of the management of the carriage and horse shop, it was impossible for Xu Jin to run it personally, so he invited Han Xin to be the big shopkeeper of the carriage and horse shop.

May 30 is the day of rest, so Xu Jin did not go to the academy today, but he did not go to the opposite side to participate in the opening ceremony of the carriage and horse shop, but made a fuss in the study, the topics were all formulated by Fei Hong, and there are still two months to hold the college examination, and it is estimated that he will rush to the provincial capital Nanchang a month in advance, so there is not much time left.

Xu Jin was engrossed in making an article, and Zhu Houxi's kid ran in happily, with some scraps of paper from firecrackers on his body, probably just after attending the opening ceremony of the carriage and horse shop, and his little face was flushed.

"Ouch, my little ancestor, run so fast and be careful to fall!"

As soon as Zhu Houxi entered the door, the eunuch Father-in-law An rushed in with a trot, and Xu Jin had no choice but to stand up and salute: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhu Houxi waved his hand impatiently: "No courtesy, Father-in-law An, this son wants to chat with Xu Jin, you don't have to follow all the time, just play by yourself." ”

An Dahai retreated in a gloomy manner.

When Xu Jin saw that Eunuch An was gone, he immediately sat down and continued to write the article, and Zhu Houxi's kid didn't care, and looked for the manuscript on Xu Jin's desk familiarly.

"Haha, I found it!" Zhu Houxi flipped out a volume of the latest manuscript of "Shooting the Condor", and immediately danced with excitement, and immediately pulled over a stool and read it with relish.

It was only half a stick of incense, Zhu Houxi finished reading the new volume, and unfinished finishing the manuscript and putting it back on the bookcase, muttering a little dissatisfied: "It's just so little, can't you write more?" ”

Xu Jin glanced at the kid angrily and said, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." In addition, it is just a trail, just for leisure and entertainment, and it is not good to indulge in it. ”

Zhu Houxi didn't raise the bar with Xu Jin this time, but said melancholy: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see this ending." ”

Xu Jin's heart moved, and he asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

Zhu Houxi nodded and said, "Tomorrow we will leave for Huguang'an and Luzhou, and Uncle Sun will send a thousand households to escort me and the king back." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Did you tell your sister Xiaowan?" ”

Zhu Houxi's eyes showed a trace of reluctance, shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'll tell her later, by the way, do you have any medicine for injuries?" ”

Xu Jin frowned and asked, "Injured?" ”

Zhu Houxi rolled up his sleeves, revealing a wound on his left elbow, and said embarrassedly: "I was responsible for the firecracker that I was responsible for when the carriage and horse shop opened just now, and I tripped and broke a little skin when I ran away. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing, stood up and found a box of wound medicine on the bookshelf behind him, which was the box sent by Fei Ruyi to Fei Maoxian last time, and it had never been used.

Xu Jin opened the box, took out a porcelain bottle from it, and then picked some ointment from the bottle and applied it to the wound on Zhu Houxi's elbow.

"Don't tell Father-in-law An, otherwise that old man will nag endlessly, and he will tell his father." Zhu Houxi said while putting down his sleeves.

"Hey, what is this?" Zhu Houxi suddenly sighed lightly, took out a small sachet from the bottom of the box containing the medicine bottle, smelled it, and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”

Xu Jin was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, but Zhu Houxi, this kid, was very clever, and flashed away, opened the sachet with a smile, and said proudly: "I remember that this bottle of ointment seems to have been given by Sister Ruyi, I have to see what is inside." ”

Zhu Houxi quickly took out a note from the sachet and read it aloud: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart." Belch...... That's gone? ”

Xu Jin chuckled in his heart, and finally understood why Fei Ruyi was disappointed that day, and there was a mystery hidden under the box of medicine, the next sentence of "Qingqing Zijin, you have my heart" is exactly "But for the sake of the king, I have been silent so far"

The girl plucked up the courage to take the initiative to express her affection, but she was shelved by herself, no wonder Fei Ruyi was disappointed and angry, and she was probably very sad!
