But Fang Jifan looked at the big yellow croaker, and still dispelled the idea of trying it.

In any case, it was a success, at least partially.

Next, it's time to recruit people to make it on a large scale.

Anyway, don't worry about the promotion, the business in Xishan has become bigger and bigger, and many businessmen have been in contact, such as those coal merchants, as well as glass and glasses merchants, these people, but they are going to come to Xishan at two ends in three days, and they have already become one with Wang Jinyuan.

Now, wool has also begun to sell well, and many merchants have come to order.

With these foundations, with the relationship between these suppliers, as long as there are good goods in Xishan, there is no need to worry about sales.

The problem now is to come up with a good name for this ingredient.

Wen Yansheng racked his brains and thought about a few, but they were all too elegant, in Fang Jifan's words, they were the stuff of a scholar.

Fang Jifan looked at Wen Yansheng like a mentally retarded person, and was silent for a long time: "Ingredients are sold to people all over the world, not to readers, and scholars don't cook, these names like Governor Wen are ...... Ahem......"

Wen Yansheng blushed: "But I don't know if I am far away, but what do you think?" ”

Fang Jifan groaned: "Call Wen Yansheng Thirteen Incense." ”

"What?" Wen Yansheng was stunned for a long time and felt a little vulgar.

Fang Jifan explained: "Why is it named directly, this is a hint, when people see the three words Wen Yansheng, they will definitely wonder who this person is and what he does." But they were thinking, since they dared to go up by name, this Wen Yansheng must be a great cook, who must be known to the world, but he is a lonely person who has never heard of it. That alone is convincing enough, isn't it? ”

Wen Yansheng was embarrassed: "There is some truth in what I said. ”

And the direct naming also shows that Mr. Wen is full of confidence, and people remember this name, so they remembered the ingredients, and gradually, it was catchy, and it was impossible to think of being famous. The packaging of the material, just use glass bottles, half a catty, the price, anyway, the early production may not be much, can be appropriately higher, first promoted, and so on in the future to open up the market, produce more, and then reduce costs. ”

Wen Yansheng said abruptly: "The lower officials don't know much about business operations, so naturally it is arranged by the Marquis of Dingyuan." ”

Fang Jifan spread his hands: "Actually, I don't care much, Wang Jinyuan is full of energy, just let him do it." You and I are Boya and Zhong Zi, leave the business of buying and selling to those laity. Mr. Wen, I'm hungry. ”

“……”

At the end of the year, the Fang family was very lively.

It's the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Fang Jifan reluctantly got up early in the morning, and then the disciples and apprentices came to visit, Ouyang Zhi led all the junior brothers, first came to give Fang Jifan a teacher salute, and then fifteen people, headed by Liu Jie, and then a group of apprentices and grandsons of Shen Ao.

There are too many people, and the disciples are okay, after all, Fang Jifan only has seven, and he can barely remember it, but this swarm of apprentices and grandchildren came in, and Fang Jifan saw that the crowds were crowded, Liu Jie and the others worked together, and everyone said in unison: "I've seen Shigong." ”

Fifteen senior brothers are about to participate in the imperial examination.

And there is a classmate named Shen Ao, who was directly made a marquis, Shen Ao was among them, and like Fang Jifan, he was wearing a flying fish suit given by Qin, and he was in good spirits, which aroused the envy of countless classmates, which made many people see hope, and follow Shigong to have meat to eat.

Fang Jifan pressed his hand: "Okay, okay, get up, the master respects you very much, especially Liu Jie, Liu Jie, you come forward." ”

Liu Jie stepped forward and made a gesture.

Fang Jifan looked at him with a smile: "Is your father okay?" ”

Liu Jie said: "Master, my father is fine. ”

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Xiao Liu...... If the body is good, the master will be relieved. ”

Liu Jie was silent.

He had no words.

The disciples in the hall had nothing to say.

Liu Gong is Liu Jie's father, Fang Jifan is the master, a generation higher, even if Fang Jifan is in front of him, he doesn't dare to call Xiao Liu, but he can close the door and call Xiao Liu pretending to be forced, which is ...... No one has an opinion.

The disciples and grandchildren looked at the master one by one, and their eyes were a little red.

Shigong is amazing, even when the first assistant of the court, he just called Xiao Liu, this is all over the world, who has such courage, no wonder when he goes out, he hears that he is from Xishan Academy, this is up to the Gongqing, down to the ordinary three religions and nine streams, they are all polite to themselves, and the name of the master is thrown on the street, that is really famous.

Fang Jifan said: "How sure are you in this imperial examination? ”

Liu Jie brushed the questions for two years.

To tell the truth, Xishan Academy really deserves to be a new school, anyway, at the beginning, when everyone enrolled, because the previous foundation was science, so they still admired Cheng Zhu's old master, even if they agreed with the new school, they would not have too much disgust with science.

But with such a brushing of questions, to be honest, I speak on behalf of the saints all day long...... How to say it, that is, Cheng Zhu represents Confucius and Mencius, and all the beings, and then use Cheng Zhu's version of Confucius and Mencius to do the question, which is brushed every day, even an honest person like Liu Jie wants to vomit, every time the process of brushing the question, it is full of countless grievances against Cheng Zhu, if it is not for the imperial examination, he would have thrown away the pen and burned this Cheng Zhu's book completely.

Liu Jie said: "Students in the study, try their best to learn, thanks to the teachings of the master and the teacher, as well as the teachers and uncles, the knowledge has been refined, this spring, the students must do their best." ”

Fang Jifan nodded: "This is very good, I have always valued you very much, don't disappoint me." ”

Liu Jie's eyes were red, in this era, the relationship between teachers and students is similar to that of father and son, not to mention in the world, if the disciple is disrespectful to the teacher, he will be discredited from now on, and he will be spurned by thousands of people, and he will not be able to turn over for the rest of his life. Under the influence of this custom, disciples often respect their teachers and masters as if they were gods.

Liu Jie bowed: "The master and the teacher teach earnestly, the students are unforgettable, if the students can be named on the gold list, they will definitely serve the master as good students." ”

Fang Jifan pressed his hand: "Okay, Shigong is very busy, you go to the side, the next one." ”

Another person stepped forward: "Master......"

"What's your name?"

"Wu Jia."

Fang Jifan said: "Oh, I think about it, no wonder you are so familiar, and my master also values you very much." ”

"Student ......" Wu Jia kowtowed: "Students are blessed with the grace of the teacher, and it is difficult to repay the grass and the ring." ”

Fang Jifan thought in his heart, the ancients were still kind, if they were changed to the previous life, a teacher like himself would have been beaten to death by his students, and the tradition of respecting teachers and honoring the Tao is still very good.

After a busy morning, he finally sent them away, but it was Li Chao, the real person of the imperial court, who came first.

Li Chaoxian was dressed in a precious robe, sitting in a large sedan chair carried by four people, there were several fairy children on the left and right to protect the Dharma, and the disciples behind him followed, mighty, got off the sedan chair, and voted for the Taoist post, the Taoist robe on his body, made of silk, very eye-catching, which also lined him with a fairy wind bones, stayed in the hall, when he saw Fang Jifan, he snapped, and knelt down straight: "Xiaodao Li Chaoxian, meet the uncle." ”

knocked his head down, and he couldn't wait to bury this head in the ground, showing his respect for his uncle.

Fang Jifan felt a headache and sighed: "Why didn't you come early?" ”

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year." Li Chaoxian said: "The British public ordered to worship the ancestors in the Taimiao, and Xiaodao also received the emperor's order......"

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Got it, how is it, how are you doing?" ”

Li Chaoxian said: "Thanks to Uncle Shi's love, Xiaodao's life is still passable, mainly for the princes in the capital, as well as the palaces of various families in the north to do practical things, each family is okay with Xiaodao, uncle, otherwise, Xiaodao will also make a dojo for Uncle Taishi, naturally, he will never dare to accept his uncle's silver." ”

When Fang Jifan heard the silver, he cheered up: "Wait a minute, you make a dojo for others, how much silver is a game." ”

Li Chaoxian said: "People outside the square, don't take money, how much each family rewards, there is no fixed number, they look at it themselves, more, silver 10,000 taels, jade Ruyi, calligraphy and painting." Even if it is a small amount, a few hundred taels of silver, and some thank-you gifts, it can be regarded as exhaustion. Occasionally, there are people who are willing to give some land ......"

Fang Jifan gasped: "Little Lizi, you real person, you are even more nourishing than me." ”

Li Chaoxian was startled, and said with sincere fear: "Uncle Shi said this, Xiaodao was uneasy, Uncle Shi is an elder of Xiaodao, how much does this Longquan View earn, isn't it also Uncle Shi's?" Otherwise, tomorrow Xiaodao ordered someone to take the account book of Longquanguan and ask Uncle Shi to take a look. ”

Fang Jifan smiled: "It's rare that you have filial piety, get up and speak." ”

Li Chaoxian got up: "Of course, now Longquan Guan can become famous, but also has something to do with Uncle Shi, since the last time I prayed for rain, Xiaodao has become famous, not only the court has sealed the real person, it is in Beijing, there are also many people convinced, this is given by Uncle Shi, Xiaodao is a person with a conscience, Uncle Shi has a life, Xiaodao is ready to send at any time, asking for money and food and land, it is Xiaodao himself, and it is also Uncle Shi's. ”

These words are very pleasant.

Fang Jifan finally understood why the leader was always surrounded by sycophants, because it was really comfortable to listen to, Fang Jifan said: "That's good." ”

"There is another thing, in a few days, the great real people will come to Beijing and come to worship the Son of Heaven, I don't know if Uncle Shi is interested, go and greet it."

The Great Real Man ...... That is, Zhang Tianshi.

It's just that Emperor Taizu Gao doesn't like someone to call him a Heavenly Master, so he directly took away the title of Heavenly Master, and since then, he has also become a real person, but even so, he is still respected as a Heavenly Master internally, and on the official side, he is called a great real person.

This Da Zhenren is not only the most important religious leader in the world, but most importantly, he is also one of the largest landowners in the Ming Dynasty......

Fang Jifan made a straight face: "What kind of generation is he?" ”

"This ......" Li Chaoxian was silent for a moment: "It should be the same generation as Xiaodao, but it's ......"

"That's right. Our successor, as the elder, how can he welcome his junior, there are no rules at all, talk nonsense, fine you 30,000 taels of silver, if you don't send it tomorrow, you will be killed. ”
