Although Lu Zhe had no opinion on the color matching of the ancients, he was slightly shocked when he saw the dark green head of the other party, expressing his admiration.

There is such a big thing at home and he is so comfortable to come out to pay a visit, this brother's psychological quality, tsk.

"Zhe has seen the big steward Mu," although he was a little confused, Lu Zhe still politely replied, "I don't know if the honored guest is far away, but what can I teach Zhe?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. The servant is a businessman and the like, dare to show off in front of the mountain gate master, the Ming sect master and my master have a half-master friendship, every dare not forget, when the year is right, the special servant sent some goods, in order to show the heart. ”

"Zhe knows, on the blessed birthday, Fu Wei honored the guest and Elder Ming." There were not too many New Year's greetings, and Lu Zhe saluted Elder Ming and Mu Zhong in the house again. Then he lowered his hands and stood beside Elder Ming, and no longer spoke.

Originally, Lu Zhe also had an identity as the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, nominally speaking, he was the same as Elder Ming, and Lu Zhe's style of standing on the side was obviously like I was Elder Ming's younger brother, so what is the situation that you come with my boss first.

"The Zhong Steward is the chief steward of the Mu Clan's Firm, and the goods produced by us are all traded through the Mu Clan's Firm, and this Mu Zhong is also a person from my mountain gate, and I called you here today, because this Mu Zhong wants to see you."

"I didn't expect that the wood steward is also from my mountain gate, Lu Zhe of the Hundred Flowers Sect, and I have seen Brother Mu." Lu Zhe practiced a unique etiquette for people in the mountain gate.

"The boy is cunning." At this time, this sentence appeared in the hearts of Elder Ming and Mu Zhong at the same time. This kid just looked like a junior of Elder Ming, and he looked like he had asked Elder Ming in advance, but as soon as he said that Mu Zhong was from the Mountain Gate, he immediately talked to Mu Zhong in the unique way of the people in the Mountain Gate.

Although the young man in front of him looked at his head, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made Mu Zhong feel a little inexplicable, but Mu Zhong still had a good impression of the so-called "fairy child" in front of him.

"Looking at him like this, he doesn't look like a child of the fairy family, but like a demon." Mu Zhong secretly thought that a half-grown boy from the mountain gate should belong to the weak side in his conversation with Elder Ming, and he had to rely on Elder Ming's talent in order to talk to him.

But as Elder Ming found out the identity of his disciple of the mountain gate, this Lu Zhe immediately seized the opportunity, turned the anti-guest, and changed the nature of the dialogue into a dialogue between the three mountain gates, so that he, who was originally in a weak position, had the qualifications to talk to them on an equal footing, and even faintly pressed him in terms of identity.

You must know that although the Hundred Flowers Sect is small, it is also one of the mountain gates recognized by the mountain gate in the world, and Lu Zhe, as the sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect, is faintly higher than him, a disciple of the mountain gate.

With such a delicate mind, he, an adult, couldn't help but secretly praise, this is not a demon, you know, this Lu Zhe has never been out of this village since he was a child, and Mu Zhong has seen the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect in the previous generation, just an honest man who grows flowers, but he didn't expect to give birth to such a demonic young man, compared to his own young master at this age, it is also similar.

Thinking of the methods of his young master, Rao is Mu Zhong Shanghai was up and down, and when he saw the characters of various products, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Ji Guan Cheng Mu Zhong, I have seen the Hundred Flowers Sect Master." Mu Zhong respectfully gave Lu Zhe a ritual for a person in the mountain gate.

"Counting the city?" Is it a new mountain gate again? , Lu Zhe silently remembered the name.

"Ji Guan Cheng is the descendant of Ji Ran's family, practice the policy of importance, its ancestor Ji Ran, is the teacher of Fan Li, there are also great sages said Guan Zhong, lay the foundation of Qi Qiang, Ji Guan Cheng Xiu Ji Ran's learning, learn the art of Guanzi, specialize in the matter of goods breeding, small can be rich, big can be rich country, the foundation of the achievement of the emperor, is a big sect in our mountain gate." Before, Elder Ming closed his eyes, looking like an immortal who was wandering outside the world, allowing Lu Zhe and Mu Zhong to greet each other, and bowing slightly when he saluted him. At this time, he suddenly spoke, and explained the origin of Jiguan City to Lu Zhe, a turtle, just right, which was obviously not as detached as it seemed on the surface.

And Lu Zhe was also shocked in his heart by the origin of this forgiveness hat brother.

I'm rubbing, Ji Ran's family, studying economics, it's awesome.

Ji Ranjia is also one of the hundred schools of thought, and his main research is the development of the country's economy.

And the so-called "light and heavy technique" is about how the state develops the economy through the manipulation of currency, which comes from Guan Zhong, a bull.

"Historical Records: The Biography of the Goods and Colonies": "Guan Zhong repairs it, and sets up nine mansions. "The so-called light and heavy nine mansions are actually the nine positions in charge of money set up by Jiang Taigong when he assisted the Zhou family. Light and heavy, refers to money; The Nine Mansions, that is, the Great Mansion, the Royal Mansion, the Inner Mansion, the Outer Mansion, the Spring Mansion, the Heavenly Mansion, the Inner Mansion, the Occupational Money, and the Vocational Currency, are all used to refer to the officials who hold the money.

In the book "Guanzi", there is also a special chapter on light and heavy, which also contains 36 strategies for finance at that time, which are clearly divided into two parts: domestic economic management (the first 31 plans) and international economic warfare (the last 5 plans). Because Guan Zhong and Ji Ranjia believe that if the economic means work well, they can also fight to the point of surrendering without a fight.

This was the prototype of economic warfare proposed by later generations. It was not until 2000 years after Guan Zhong's death that a famous economist named Keynes in the West put forward a similar idea to Guan Zhong, and then the West went eastward and was regarded as the truth by the Chinese people.

Guan Zhong used economic means to make his neighbor Lu subservient to Qi State, leaving the end of the strong crossbow that could not wear Lu Min's words, what is even more awesome is that he did not spend a single soldier, so that the powerful Chu State had to recognize the hegemony of Qi State, and the policies he formulated laid the foundation for the strength of Qi State.

Unexpectedly, this Ji Guan City turned out to be a descendant of the Ji Ran family, Lu Zhe sighed with emotion, and suddenly felt shocked.

What did the chief steward of this chamber of commerce come to do with him, the only thing he could have to do with him was the salt that he had purified and taken out to exchange for things, could it be that this guy with a forgiving head wanted to do this salt business?

It's not proper, it's not proper, this salt business has always been a taboo in the imperial court, and it's not appropriate to mix it yourself, in this era, the technology that can turn a large number of coarse black salt blocks into snowflake fine salt is definitely a huge profit.

However, the core technology has already taught the people in the village, if they had the heart, they would have obtained it a long time ago, so why did they come to me?

His body is just a teenager, listening to the tone of the elder, Ji Guan City is a big sect, if he wants to take it by force, how can he keep it, and this Mu family firm is also responsible for the goods trading of the entire mountain village, which is equivalent to saying that he has mastered the economic lifeline of the entire mountain village, so he can't help but disagree.

That's right! There are rules in the mountain gate, and without the permission of the owner, you can't use other people's technology, otherwise, the mountain gate in the world has the responsibility to discuss it. It should be like this, even if it is to manage the city, he does not dare to risk the disapproval of the mountain gate of the world, so he can ask Elder Dongming to say that I will allow them to purify the salt.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhe suddenly had an idea, he couldn't hide it anyway, it was better to fulfill their intentions, and he could sell it for a good price, and this was also a major contribution made by his buddies to improving the living conditions of the people in the entire Tang Dynasty, and it would be recorded in history in the future.

Lu Zhe was thinking about it here, and he didn't know that Mu Zhong, who was kneeling opposite him, was also secretly surprised in his heart.

After many years of ups and downs in the business sea, Mu Zhong has long had his own set of skills to recognize people, and Lu Zhe on the other side, although he tried his best to keep his face unfazed, but his micro-expressions were still keenly captured by him, seeing this young man named Lu Zhe, his expression changed from surprised to slightly frightened to calm, and even changed to a smiling look later, Mu Zhong knew that his intention might have been guessed by the young man in front of him.

That smile is very familiar, and it is the same when I negotiate with those opponents.

This is treating my Mu clan as a sheep. Mu Zhong couldn't laugh or cry a little. He was known as a ghostly figure among the merchants in Chenzhou, but he didn't expect to be regarded as a fat sheep by the teenage boy in front of him. And he was in a hurry to send it, for fear that the other party would not slaughter it ruthlessly.

"Sect Master Lu Wanfu, Zhong is cheeky to ask to see today, but there is something that he wants to verify with Sect Master Lu."

"Brother Mu's coming, Yu also guessed a few points, why don't we each write this thing on the palm of our hands, compare it, and see if I and Brother Mu think the same?" Lu Zhe's demeanor suddenly became a little condescending.

"Since Sect Master Lu has this elegance, how dare Zhong disobey and bother Elder Ming to lend me pen and ink." Mu Zhong respectfully saluted Elder Ming.

"The pen and ink are in the inner room, and you can take them yourself." Elder Ming returned to his usual appearance of wandering to the eight extremes, as if the two people in front of him did not exist at all.

"Zhe go and get it." Soon, Lu Zhe took the pen and ink, and then wrote it separately.

"Sect Master, I'll open each of our palms and see if we can match it?" Feeling that the other party was being respectful and conceiving, Mu Zhong was unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but despise Lu Zhe a little.

If he was amazed at Lu Zhe's intelligence just now, Lu Zhe's actions just now, in his opinion, were the pride of young people who love to show off.

I thought that you could be compared with a young master, it seems that a certain person has gone away, how talented the young master is, how can there be a second one in this world, even if it is a child of the fairy family, after all, it is a wild fox Zen, and it will become the foil of the young master.

Okay, let's play with you. Mu Zhong sighed secretly, wrote a salt word in the palm of his hand, and waited until the ink was dry, then he clenched his fingers into a fist and stretched it out in front of Lu Zhe.

"Zhe counted three times, and Brother Mu and Zhe opened their palms together." Lu Zhe had a mysterious smile on his face, this style not only made Mu Zhong even more disappointed, this kind of small game, not your identity can be played, if you are a hero today, I am the manager of the Mu family, this kind of posture shows your wisdom, it is an anecdote, and you are just a poor boy in a mountain village, barely enough to eat and wear, such a posture, that is stupid, it will only increase people's laughter.

I thought you were an opponent, but just a naughty boy. Mu Zhong was a little impatient, and as soon as Lu Zhe finished counting, he couldn't wait to spread out his palms.

The palms of the two were spread out, and Mu Zhong's face changed suddenly.

"This wickedness! End of the damnable! Rao is Mu Zhong is good at cultivating qi, and when he saw this result, he couldn't help but change color slightly, and secretly scolded in his heart, regretting his idea of looking down on Lu Zhe just now.

I saw two hands, one large and one small, spread out, and in Mu Zhong's palm, there was a word of salt written on it.

And in Lu Zhe's palm, nothing was written.
