The group of them quickly walked to the door of the inn, and Li Guangrui went straight to the counter and said to the person who looked like the shopkeeper: "But there are still three upper rooms?" ”

"Yes, there are three upper rooms. Burn? Wen?? ???． ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? e?na'com," said the shopkeeper.

"We want all three rooms, rent them for two or three days." Lee said.

"This uncle, according to the rules of the store, you need to pay for the room for one day in advance. One upper room costs fifteen yuan a day, and three rooms cost a total of forty-five yuan. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Li Guangrui secretly said that it was really expensive, and at the same time took out two hundred treasure bills from his clothes and said, "Is this enough?" ”

The shopkeeper first carefully looked at these treasure banknotes, and after making sure that they were not forgeries, he said: "Not enough, five banknotes can be worth the same money, and five forty-five is two hundred and twenty-five, and a total of two hundred and twenty-five banknotes are needed." ”

Li Guangrui was not surprised, and took out another twenty-five bills. Although the treasure banknotes are still tenaciously credible by allowing them to be exchanged for grain and allowing the use of treasure notes to pay commercial taxes, the treasure banknotes in other places still have different degrees of depreciation except for the provincial governors.

The price of the grain bound to the treasure banknote is different throughout the year, not to mention that even at this time, only the capital city can exchange the treasure money for grain, so in many places the price of the treasure money is lower than the official price, and the lowest place has always been able to exchange money for eight banknotes.

After paying, one of the innkeepers led them upstairs to their rooms.

Entering the room, Li Guangrui glanced around and was a little disappointed: this so-called upper room is not as good as his own servants, and he has also been to the inn in Guangzhou Mansion before, and it is much better than this.

But he didn't have room to be picky, and after putting down his luggage, he analyzed how to live so that everyone could stay.

But after analyzing for a while, he found that with the size of these three rooms, it was impossible for them to live in a group of more than 20 people anyway, even if he didn't dislike living with others, each room needed to live for eight people, and there was not enough space at all.

Of course, Bai Jingyi also found out, and walked over to Li Guangrui and said, "Young Master, our group can't live." ”

"Uncle Bai, what do you think should be done?" Lee asked.

Bai Jingyi was about to speak, when she suddenly saw an acquaintance and said softly to Li Guangrui: "Big young master, it's Master Kang." ”

Li Guangrui immediately looked up and saw his father-in-law, Kang Yuquan, coming up from the second floor, talking to a person next to him, not paying attention to who was in the corridor.

Lee Guangrui called: "Father-in-law! "At the same time, he walked towards the stairs.

Kang Yuquan was concentrating on talking to the person next to him, but suddenly heard a more familiar voice say 'Father-in-law,' subconsciously raised his head, and saw his son-in-law Li Guangrui walking towards him.

Kang Yuquan said affectionately: "The virtuous son-in-law also came to Bao'an? ”

Li Guangrui walked up to him and said to the people next to Kang Yu's body: "I've seen Uncle Gu." Then he promised Kang Yuquan: "Father-in-law, I'm here too." "The Gu family is also a business family in Guangzhou, and their power is not inferior to the Li family and the Kang family, and they know each other a lot of times on weekdays.

Kang Yuquan chatted with him for a few words and asked, "Who is the person in charge of your Li family this time, we have something to say to him." ”

"That's me." Lee said.

Kang Yuquan frowned: "Guangyao, don't joke at this time, who is it?" ”

"Father-in-law, I'm not kidding, it's me." Lee said.

Kang Yuquan's face was suspicious, he looked up at Bai Jingyi, and asked, "Is the person in charge of your Li family this time really glorious?" ”

"Master Kang, that's true." Bai Jingyi said.

Kang Yuquan and Gu Ming glanced at each other: This is incredible.

There is a fixed routine for cultivating heirs in a big family like them. Those who are willing to endure hardships for their children, go to the store as an apprentice at the age of fifteen or sixteen, work for three or four to twenty years old or so, arrange to be a bookkeeper, and then study with the big shopkeeper for a few years after two years, and then let him be in charge of a shop alone or sell goods on a mature trade road, and become the backbone of the family in his thirties, responsible for opening up new trade routes or being a big shopkeeper in other places.

This time Bao'an opened the sea, because Bao'an was poor and had no resources before, businessmen rarely came here, it can be regarded as opening up a new business route, the two of them saw Guangzhou, Huizhou and other places know the businessmen are thirty or forty years old middle-aged people, I didn't expect the Li family to let Li Guangrui to be in charge.

Kang Yuquan muttered: "Old Man Li is really bold. ”

He sighed a few words and said to Li Guangrui: "In this case, I have something to look for you, come with me." ”

Li Guangrui said: "Father-in-law, but I still have things to arrange. ”

"The main thing is that there are not enough places to stay. We only rented three rooms, but there were more than 20 of us in the group, and we couldn't live there. The middle and lower rooms are also gone. ”

Kang Yuquan glanced at it and said, "I also rented two middle rooms, I'll let the guy squeeze in and give you one." ”

"Thank you father-in-law." Lee Guangrui bowed.

"Alright, don't be so polite, come with me." Kang Yuquan said.

Li Guangrui instructed Bai Jingyi to place all his subordinates and followed Kang Yuquan over.

The people of the Kang family came very early, and as early as Yang Ren and Zhang Yanfang had just arrived in Guangzhou, they arranged for people to be stationed in Bao'an. A few days ago, after learning the news that Bao'an was going to officially open the sea, I immediately settled on several rooms. Therefore, the Kang family has a lot of rooms, even if he wants to give one to the Li family, he can still have a room alone.

After he walked in, Gu Ming and Li Guangrui, he first asked the servant to serve a pot of tea that had just been brewed and poured three cups, picked up a cup and took a sip of it, and smiled at the two of them: "The place is simple, so I can only entertain them so simply." ”

Li Guangrui didn't care, although they love tea and have a lot of particularities, but it doesn't matter if they don't drink tea in a hurry, after drinking the cup of tea in their hands, they asked: "Father-in-law, what's the matter?" ”

After Kang Yuquan waited for the teacup in Gu Ming's hand to be empty, he said, "There are two things. ”

"First of all, since we are all from Guangzhou, there are no contradictions on weekdays, so don't raise the price between each other during this competition, if the bid of a certain shop is not low, others should not bid."

Li Guangrui nodded and said, "What my father-in-law said is, I have no opinion. Gu Ming also nodded.

As for what it means to 'bid is not low,' they didn't have an agreement, but the three of them have been friends for thirty or forty years, and they are all fellow villagers, and no one will break the rules.

"Secondly, it's safety. Guangyi has always been extremely prosperous, and people like us who do business don't know how many people's financial routes are blocked, even if the Yamen of the City Department will not sit idly by, but they may not be able to take care of it. So I think the three of us put the goods together to take care of them for safety. ”
