[Asking for votes, readers generally reacted to a slow pace, so they began to speed up]

"Hit! Hit! The young master has hit again! ”

There was a loud noise outside the courtyard of the palace, and the bell that was about to be struck on the upper floor behind the alley came together, and Wang Xiaoliu's cheerful shouts and the noise of the surrounding neighbors could be vaguely heard between the bells.

The queen mother Xiao was incense in the Buddhist hall at this time, and a "Diamond Sutra" was interrupted by the sound of the good news after reading less than a paragraph, and quickly sent the fun out to check, and when she learned the news that Wang Xingpingfu had won the test, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly went back to the Buddhist hall to finish her homework, and came out to celebrate with Lan Niang and others.

These days, Wang Xingping has not had much time to come back, since the establishment of the business alliance, he has to be busy with internal integration and resource utilization, and he is going back and forth to investigate and open up business routes. The effect of the visit that day exceeded expectations, in addition to the remaining twelve merchants in the business alliance except for the Futai, there were eight households have added shares for the second time, and the funds of the Guiyang Business Alliance have expanded to tens of thousands of taels in a short period of time, which is not much worse than the capital of the Futai itself, and it seems that these members are extremely optimistic about Wang Xingping's career.

In particular, the iron needles displayed that day have now begun to be sold through the Futai, but the Futai is only wholesale, and the interests of distribution and retail are all given to other merchants in the business alliance, which is no different from underwriting, but the rules in the business alliance have long been established, and the members of the alliance have their own divisions, and they will never allow internal dumping, but will only be consistent with the outside.

Wang Xingping knew that today was the government test list, but he didn't care, with his own understanding, the Chinese style should be inevitable, and he didn't care about the ranking, it was the meaning of military training, so he only asked Xiaoliu to go back and say to his mother after going to see it. However, Wang Xiaoliu had not been gone for long, and other acquaintances of Confucian students came to tell Wang Xingping the results of the government examination, and sure enough, he was successful, but he had no waves in his heart.

After arranging the things on the counter, Wang Xingping went home a little later, asked Xiao Shi for peace, had lunch together and sent a reward to the family in the house to celebrate passing the exam together, and also paid for Lan Niang and Qu'er to buy a new set of clothes, and the family was all happy. After lunch, he went to the academy to take leave, and it was not in accordance with the rules to ask for leave for three days and two ends like him, but he was in the county examination and government examination one after another, and he was taken care of by the army and the school, and he didn't say much in the grades alone.

Now that the spring sowing has passed, he naturally doesn't have to worry about the affairs of Juntun for the time being, and as for the training, there are now a few officers on the right track.

For the time being, there were no worries, and the long trip that had been prepared for several months was put on the agenda.

Since Ye Dajiao came back from Guangdong last year, a seed has been planted in his heart, and he has vaguely guessed about the true identities of the mysterious Australian maritime merchants mentioned by Ye Yiwei, and he decided to take time out to go to Guangzhou this year anyway. I heard that those people also set up a business in the city of Guangzhou, and I thought that it was a long-term idea, so I don't know if my guess is correct.

Of course, this is not enough, even if it is an ordinary businessman, he can go to Guangdong, after all, there is only one place left in Guangzhou, and if you want to change some of the things he wants in Daming, I am afraid that only Guangdong is the most likely. He was also very interested in a large number of strange goods from Nanyang and Europeans from farther away every year, and according to the hyacinth and trend, in the summer was the time when the Nanyang merchant ships and tribute envoys went to Guangzhou, and he only had to catch up with the time to calculate before the start of April (the forty-sixth year of Wanli was a leap year, there were two Aprils, in fact, the April of Run was close to May).

Without him, it's all because there are not many places he wants to go along the way, unlike the last time Ye Shopkeeper and his party went all the way south from Guangxi along the river, this time Wang Zunde is not in Guangdong, and he doesn't have to go to Zhaoqing again, and Wang Xingping also wants to go to Pingyue Mansion by the way, the bulk resources there are needed by the current military tun and workshops, and it is also a good thing if this long-term supply channel can be done in the official face, I believe that the new prefect Wan Ye who regards himself as a disciple of Wang Xue will be able to understand his own thoughts. What's more, as soon as this assistant took office, someone would give him a benefit, whether it was in terms of local finances or personal career, it was excellent, otherwise wouldn't he have read the "Book Editor" in vain these days, and he should have taken office last month.

To the east of Pingyue Mansion is the most important commercial port town in Guizhou, Yuanfu, the goods to and from Sichuan, Yunnan, Huguang and the special products of Guizhou Province are mostly traded here, and it is really a bit unreasonable not to see. Yunnan's copper is also here and other provinces to buy and sell, I heard that the price of Yunnan copper to Huguang will double, he just followed this trade route to see the flow of these Yunnan copper, after all, the direction of copper will be to a large extent the flow of money.

When you enter Huguang, you will naturally have to turn to the south, Wugang Prefecture can go by the way, visit Mr. Ni Zhumo if you haven't left, and see what opportunities there are in King Min's mansion, in the many news he heard from the market and merchants, the vassal kings in various places are a protagonist in the sale of private money, as long as there are no political schemes, the heavenly family has always been not much in charge of these relatives in business, it can be said that one eye is closed, although the disadvantages are not less than the tax supervisors in various places, But it can give businessmen more opportunities to cut corners.

When this journey is over, it will take until July to reach Guangzhou, and whether there is any news or anything else of interest that he hopes to get, he is ready to set up a branch in Guangzhou, and the branch will only be used to sell all kinds of southwestern products and acquire overseas curiosities, and then he will be able to encourage and maintain one or two loyal and reliable men.

However, this is not the end, he will stay in Guangdong for half a month at most, and he will take advantage of the fact that the hyacinth has not changed and hurry up to take a boat all the way north to Beijing and Ma Shiying, and Nanjing will naturally not be able to go on this way, but Songjiang Mansion can go if there is enough time.

Naturally, if Yang Wencong is serious about the township test of this department, he will naturally have one of them. They don't have to worry about the location of the capital, Yang Shikong and Wang Zunde are both officials in Beijing, and Ma Shiying is still serving in the six departments in the same year.

Wang Xingping really wants to be a little closer to the center of power, especially for the north, Beijing is now the political center of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xingping knows that whether it is business or official career, it is not realistic to stay away from politics, it is better to adapt first, so he also happened to take advantage of this opportunity to go to Beijing. Although the senior brother Ma Shiying's official position in the same year is not high, he is a Jinshi foundation, and if he can make friends with the friendship of the same family, it will also be a great help to himself in the future.

Now that time seemed to be so tight, he naturally stepped up all kinds of preparations, visited the teacher, gathered the merchants, and took some free time to go to the Jierong Station. Before leaving, he specially asked Zhang Heming to find him an errand in the official office, so that he could pass along the way, after all, he has no status as a student now, and it is still possible to be deliberately embarrassed when he goes out rashly. The reason is easy to find, let's just say that the system of the Guangdong Health Institute is complete, and Guizhou needs to be improved urgently, so Guiyang Wei sent him to investigate, and as for going to Beijing later, it was another business trip.

…………

The spring breeze gusted, blowing Wang Xingping's young face, behind which was the rising sun, facing the Wenchang Pavilion on the upper floor of Wusheng Gate looked more upright under the cover of the city shops and trees, and the faintly audible morning bell made people feel some melancholy in their hearts.

Before the beginning of summer on April 13, Wang Xingping finally set off with Xiaoliu and Ye Xianlian and other men and a few hired Lifu, for which he also set off a carriage to pull some of his own goods and prepare to look at the business along the way, this year is a leap year, the weather is not hot, and the farming is over, Wang Xingping calculated that it should not be until Guangdong has not yet reached the busy farming season, it is a good time to hurry.

On the avenue outside the east gate, the traffic and pedestrians coming and going are bustling, making the road a little congested.

The people who came to see Wang Xingping off were crowded into a tea shed, which contained Wang Xingping's fellow teachers and friends, as well as relatives.

The proprietor can rest assured that the things on the counter should be done with all his might, and will never let the proprietor worry about it. ’

This is the earnest state of the Ye shopkeeper, and now the Wang family's business can be described as smooth, his shopkeeper is full of red light all day long, and he is no longer just calm and cautious in the past, but a little more arrogant.

'The fifth brother went to Guangli to play with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about the matter of training troops in Tuntian, which barbarian who is not long-eyed dares to come to make trouble Lao Tzu took the brothers to level him. ’

This is Wang Zhongde's heart of fist, the current Zhurong thousands of households, hundreds of soldiers who can fight, sitting on the newly 'received' military camp nearly ten, the family business is no longer comparable to the original Baierbao, the fourth brother of the Wang family, who is already a little proud, is now also proud, and when he is in the martial arts, he should be able to go further.

'My son should be careful not to make trouble all the way, and when he arrives in the capital, he must listen to his uncle's words, and you must listen and watch more in the capital, so that you can go to school in the future. ’

This is the queen mother Xiao's motherly affection, in the past year or so, Wang Xingping's habitual temperament has made this mother frightened a few times, especially when she is out of the house, she doesn't want her son to have any mistakes, if it weren't for Wang Xingping's insistence, her heart is not willing to let her son go away.

'Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry, I have asked someone to send a letter to my eldest brother, and the affairs in Beijing will be arranged properly, Xiaoping, you can do things with peace of mind." ’

Wang Mingde and his brother Wang Zunde are both upright and upright, and they are particularly optimistic about their nephew, and they are also supportive of his hard work.

"Senior brother, don't delay too much time in Guangdong, otherwise it will be troublesome to miss the journey of Fengxin, and I will wait for you in the capital first." ’

Ma Shiying has a friend of the same year in Beijing, named Ruan Dacheng, who is also a Jinshi in the previous department, and now serves as a pedestrian in the pedestrian department.

'I'm married, you guys are going to go to other places, and when you get to Beijing, you have to put on a good table and make amends with me.' ’

Yang Wencong has no doubts about whether he can be lifted at all, so the big wedding after the township test is naturally preparing for the family early, although this son never suffers a loss, but he is also sincere to the sister of the Ma family, but it is not because he is about to have an uncle Jinshi, and now saying goodbye to Wang Xingping is also different.

Looking at these familiar faces, Wang Xingping suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, he straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to everyone, and bowed to his mother Xiao again, and then boarded the carriage to the east without looking back, and half an hour later, the group of figures had disappeared at the end of the road.
