Luoyang

Liu Chan held his stomach and looked at the many slaves who were busy in front of him, and couldn't help but smile, Xuxian Yuan achieved unprecedented success in Luoyang, and after the people became rich, there was no corresponding entertainment activities, at this time, Liu Chan launched this kind of entertainment project called storytelling, which quickly became popular in Luoyang.

The inside and outside of the Xuxian Courtyard are full, all kinds of fruit wine, the sales of snacks are also amazing, in the Xuxian Courtyard, what kind of people have, from the peddler pawn to the hundred families and nine streams, Liu Chan in a short period of time, opened four Xuxian Courtyard in Luoyang, located in four places, and then, gradually spread to the Henan region, in some prosperous counties, there are also Xuxian Courtyard.

I have to say that Liu Chan does have some talent in this area, the money he spent in the early stage, within three months, has returned to the capital, and began to make a profit, looking at his own Xuxian Institute is becoming more and more prosperous, Liu Chan put all his attention on the Xuxian Academy, and the rest of the ideas are put aside first, and strive to make the Xuxian Academy distributed all over the world as soon as possible, just these few in Luoyang, have been able to bring Liu Chan a profit of nearly 500,000 yuan per month!!

This profit is still increasing, Liu Chan believes that the biggest profit of the Xuxian Academy, not only to this extent, but also his eyes can not always be on the area of Luoyang, to gradually go out, and when the Xuxian Yuan is all over the world, he just does nothing, sitting at home all day long, he can easily become the richest man in the Han Dynasty, rich and invincible... Ahem, ahem.

Wang Erlang smiled charmingly, standing beside Liu Chan, now he is different from the past, he is also wearing splendid clothes, quite a bit rich and noble, Liu Chan regards him as his confidant, and even handed over the Xuxian Courtyard in the north of the city to him to take care of, "Shaojun, I have heard clearly, it is indeed to divide and rule in Luoyang, in this way, there are three Xuxian Courtyards in Luoxian County, and there is only one in Yangxian County..."

Liu Chan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said: "After the partition, buy land in Yangyang County, and then build two more places." ”

"Why?"

"Hehe, now Luoyang is the capital, the land price is extremely expensive, and after the partition, Yang County is just an ordinary county town in Yinnei, Henan, at that time, it is naturally cheaper, by the way, is there enough manpower?"

"Shaojun is talented, there are enough people, according to Shaojun's instructions, take turns to arrange, there will be no gaps..", Wang Erlang said with a smile, Liu Chan nodded, the ordinary little guy is enough, but there is a lack of some trustworthy and capable people, there is no way, capable people and talents are going to prepare for the assessment and serving as officials, which talented person will follow him to do business?

"Alas...", Liu Chan couldn't help sighing, these people, why do they look down on businessmen so much? What about doing business? Now everything needs him to do it personally, just the four Xuxian Courtyards in Luoyang, he is tired enough, running around all day, except for Wang Erlang, but there is no one available, if it goes on like this, let alone spread to all places, it is the two counties of Luoyang and Yang, and he will be too busy.

Seeing that Liu Chan was not very happy, Wang Erlang hurriedly asked, "But what did I do wrong??" If there is something wrong, I hope that Shaojun can give you a lesson or two. ”

"It's not, there are too few capable people around me, and you are the only one of your cronies, if you want to expand the Xuxian Academy, what can you do about it, can't you just rely on the two of us?"

When Wang Erlang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I have a way, there are a lot of Hu merchants in Luoyang now, these Hu people have been in Luoyang for a long time, whether it is etiquette, writing, or language, they are no different from the Han people, and these people are all here to do business in Luoyang, and they know a lot about this aspect, and they are not resistant to doing business, as long as Shaojun can give enough money, they can do anything..."

"However, if the people in charge everywhere are Hu merchants, I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate...", Liu Chan said, thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "You say, if it is those scholars and businessmen from Liangzhou and Ningzhou, will they be willing to help me?" Liangzhou and Ningzhou, Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu and the like, of course, now they are all Han people, real Han people.

However, they are different from the people in the Central Plains, they do not look down on the merchants, because they are not the times of farming for a living, so there is no idea of heavy agriculture and light business in their minds, and these years, because of the credit of printing, the scholars in these remote areas are also increasing, however, there are not many people who have passed the assessment, many people come to Luoyang to participate in the assessment, and they have failed to pass several times, so they can only find an errand in Luoyang to live.

Liu Chan suddenly thought that maybe he could find a suitable helper among these scholars.

"Young gentleman is talented!! I'm really impressed!! Wang Erlang hurriedly began to tout, Liu Chan listened with a smile, interrupted his praise, and then said: "Don't be in a hurry to praise, I'll leave this matter to you, you go and contact to see if there is a suitable helper, you must be literate, moral integrity, do not contradict business... If so, no matter how much it costs, bring it to me, and I will subsidize it for you. ”

"No, no, don't worry, Shaojun, I'll look for it now!"

Sending Wang Erlang away, Liu Chan got into the carriage and drove towards his mansion, sitting in the carriage, Liu Chan was still a little sullen, before doing business, he still had so many business opportunities in his mind, and he didn't even think it would be difficult, but after the real start, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought, if it weren't for his family background, heh, I was afraid that he would not have achieved what he had achieved today for another twenty years.

Returning to the mansion, Liu Chan frowned and swaggered into the mansion.

As soon as he walked into the mansion, the servants immediately lowered their heads and hurriedly walked away, Liu Chan raised his head suddenly, his wife was sitting opposite, looking at him with a smile, and there were two maidservants behind him, Sun was older than Liu Chan, but he was handsome, and with a slight smile, he showed two small tiger teeth, which was much younger than the lucky Liu Chan.

"Husband? Why are you only coming back now? Where did you go last night? ”

"Ahem, I went to Hongnong yesterday, and I'm not going to set up a Suxian Academy there... So I went to investigate, but it was too late and I couldn't come back... It took some time. ”

"Oh? And what about today? Why are you coming back now? Sun asked again, Liu Chanmei walked up with a smile, asked the two maids to leave quickly, stood behind her, gently rubbed her shoulders, and then said: "After I came back, Erlang came to me, saying that it was the division of Luoyang to discuss the establishment of the new Xuxian Academy, and I was so busy that I couldn't come back..."

"Lie!!" , Sun got up suddenly, grabbed Liu Chan's left hand, and twisted it backwards suddenly, Liu Chan was immediately pressed in front of her, Sun grabbed his arm with one hand, grabbed his shoulder with the other, gritted his silver teeth, and asked viciously: "You tell me the truth?!" Where exactly did you go last night?!! ”

"Oops! Oops! Madame, Madame let go! I'll be honest, I'll be honest, I'm drinking in Suhyenin-in!! Didn't dare to come back! ”

Liu Chan cried out bitterly, but Sun had no intention of letting go of him, and said angrily: "You have also learned to deceive people? Still going to drink?? Yesterday's studies were so wasted?? ”

"Madam, I'm all in business, so why bother to study?!"

"Hmph, this, you go and ask your father, my father said, people must read when they live, he watched you read before, and now it's me!! When I'm old, I'll give you a concubine and let her supervise you!! Now, go back to the study!! Make up for what I left yesterday!! Otherwise, you are not allowed to eat!! Did you hear that?! ”

Liu Chan burst into tears, oh my God, what did he do wrong to suffer like this, he finally made his father die, and now it is his turn to be a wife!!

"I see..."

Sitting in the study, Liu Chan was crying and sad, holding the book and reading hard, Sun was sitting not far away, staring at him viciously, Liu Chan was reading a book, and suddenly a slave shouted outside the door: "Master of the house, there is a guest to visit." ”

Liu Chan raised his head, but looked at Sun on the side, Sun glanced at him helplessly, and then said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Get out!! Liu Chan hurriedly put down the books in his hand and hurriedly walked out of the study, leaving only his wife, watching his round body tremble and run out of the study, but he showed a smile.

Liu Chan walked to the front yard and saw a somewhat familiar man, looking at his mansion.

Liu Chan looked at him, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it, squeezed out a smile, and bowed and said, "I don't know if a distinguished guest is coming, Zen is sluggish!" The person who came looked at him, arched his hand very indifferently, and said, "It's okay, you're welcome."

"Hey, come, come, distinguished guest and follow me to the living room...", Liu Chan stepped forward enthusiastically, took this person's hand, and walked towards the living room, Liu Chan still failed to recognize the person in front of him, but the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, it must be his old acquaintance, who is it? Liu Chan didn't want to ask like this, the other party obviously remembered himself, and if he asked his identity again, how embarrassing it would be.

The people who came saw Liu Chan holding his hand so warmly, and walked towards the living room kindly, his face was also a little puzzled, I don't know how many years, no one has ever dared to be so close to himself, who sees who is afraid, standing in front of him, his face is pale, and his words are not good, I didn't expect that this little fat man in Liu's family has such courage, but he is not afraid of himself at all.

Yuan Shang thought in his heart, and let Liu Chan hold his hand and bring it to the living room enthusiastically.

"Hahaha, sit down, come on, serve tea to the distinguished guests!" , Liu Chan shouted, Yuan Shang sat in front of him, smiled, and then said: "Thank you Liu Jun for your hospitality..."

"Hey, between you and me, no thanks." , Liu Chan said, but he wanted to find out the identity of this person, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, how are you doing with your recent errand?" But it's still going well, huh? ”

"Well, overall, it's not bad, it's just that something went wrong.. However, it is not a big problem. ”

"That's good, that's good, if you want to come to Yijun's talent, these problems can be easily solved."

"Hahaha, Liu Jun has a reputation... I have come this time to ask for something. ”

"Oh? As long as I can help, I will never refuse. ”

"That's the case, I heard that Liu Jun is still missing some henchmen, what about me, I'm going to arrange some people to help Liu Jun by Liu Jun's side, what does Liu Jun think?" , Yuan Shang squinted his eyes, stared at Liu Chan's face, and asked slowly, Liu Chan's face was surprisingly calm, and he nodded with a smile, but he understood in his heart that he wanted to arrange some relatives to come to my command.

"I naturally can't refuse such words, but ah, what I need is someone who can read and write, preferably someone who knows how to do business, and who does not contradict business, otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to appoint...", Liu Chan said with a smile.

Yuan Shang was stunned, this guy thought so thoughtfully, sure enough, you have to know how to do business, so that it will not be leaked, fortunately, such people, they are not lacking, Yuan Shang grinned, and said: "Okay, as Liu Jun said, I will arrange for thirty people to come, these thirty people, all of them have read through the classics, and they are also quite researched on the way of doing business.. Don't embarrass Liu Jun, just thirty people.."

When Liu Chan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Really?? Then don't just 30 people, just 100 people, okay?? ”

"Uh-huh???" , Yuan Shang looked dazed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Why is this?" ”

"How easy it is to do things!"

"Then there are more than 100 of them, Liu Jun, you don't care?"

"Of course I don't care, but their salaries have to be made clear... I can't give them much... This has to be said in advance. ”

"Liu Jun still wants to give them money???"

"Of course, how can this not be given, since it is for me to do things, I naturally want to give them money..."

"I... I..", Yuan Shang stood up excitedly and held Liu Chan's hands, "I'll tell you the truth, before I came, I was afraid that Liu Jun would not agree, and I was still thinking of coaxing Liu Jun with various promises to force Liu Jun to agree, but I didn't expect that Liu Jun would treat me like this, Liu Jun is really a sincere person, and he is a rare loyalty in the Han Dynasty!! ”

"Don't say this, I'm also very happy, I can help Your Excellency, and I will feel at ease!"

The two looked at each other excitedly, with tears in their eyes, but they secretly thought to themselves:

What a good person.
