Wang Lun and Chai Jin rode horses and took the doormen, walked leisurely, and walked more than ten miles to Cangzhou City. It's summer, the weather is getting warmer, and the streets are full of pedestrians.

Chai Jin took Wang Lun to inspect his two properties together, and just walked to another tea shop, but saw everyone gathered around and was discussing.

"I don't want this Jade Henglong to be short of gold, but it's going to smash the signboard for decades!"

"Such a profiteer from his family, I will never come again!"

"This guy has a bad heart, if I'm going to pout his scale!"

Seeing that there was a problem with his own industry, Chai Jin's face was not good, and he went to find Yu Henglong's shopkeeper.

After asking, I learned that a customer had just bought three catties of tea, and when he turned his head and found that it was three taels short, he immediately came to the door.

In the back hall, Chai Jin's face sank like water, and he looked at Yu Henglong's shopkeeper, "This tea house has small profits and quick turnover, the first thing is integrity, how did this happen?" ”

The shopkeeper was angry when he saw Chai Jin, and trembled, "When I returned to the big officials, it was all a mistake made by the guys." Originally, his father was on the counter, but he was sick today, so this guy replaced him for a day. ”

Chai Jin ignored the shopkeeper's explanation, pointed to the shopkeeper and said: "No matter what, this kind of thing happened to the tea house, because your shopkeeper didn't take care of it well, and he was punished for January as compensation for the guest!" ”

The shopkeeper of the tea house also had twenty or thirty taels of silver in January, which was more than enough to pay to the guest. It's just that the shopkeeper was punished, and in the end he was unwilling and showed hesitation.

"Are you not convinced?" Chai Jin is the strictest, and he can't tolerate others to make times. "What kind of merchant are you?"

Chai Jin's question is to test the shopkeeper, and if he doesn't answer well, he will be dismissed.

The shopkeeper of the tea house has also been in business for more than ten years, and he has some experience, so he immediately shook his head and said:

"Expensive as dung, cheap as a pearl and jade;

The business is the only market, and the business is the first;

Three points of profit and seven points of profit;

The same is not the same benefit, the difference is calculated;

100 miles do not sell wood, thousands of miles can sell dates;

Buy a small shop, buy a big store;

I am not afraid that the door of the store is broken, but I am afraid that the store is out of stock;

Goods die on the streets, and people live in the city......

In this way, he is a businessman. ”

Wang Lun listened, smiled slightly, and looked at Chai Jin. Xin said: "This is just an ordinary trader!" ”

Chai Jin noticed that Wang Lun was even more unkind to the shopkeeper, and he had no face, so he said coldly: "You have been the shopkeeper for more than ten years, but you only have this bit of knowledge, how to manage Yu Henglong!" ”

When the shopkeeper saw that Chai Jin was about to remove him from his ministry, he panicked. didn't dare to collide with Chai Jin, but he was angry with Wang Lun. He arched his hand at Wang Lun and asked, "This master seems to have a high opinion, and the little one wants to hear about it." ”

"Presumptuous! How can you be rude to your guests! "Wang Lun is Chai Jin's honored guest, how can he allow this shopkeeper to question.

The shopkeeper saluted Chai Jin, but he didn't care about Wang Lun. He has been in business for many years, how can Wang Lun be allowed to underestimate him.

Wang Lun had long seen that the shopkeeper was not a good person, but this time he came at him. He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it!" ”

"A big businessman has the ambition to cross the four seas in his heart, and he has the qi of the universe in his arms; Its learning is connected to the avenue, its merit is connected to the community, its momentum is into the storm, and the ghosts and gods are crying. ”

"The business of big businessmen is like Yi Yin and Jiang Ziya's governance of the country; Sun Tzu and Wu Qizhi used soldiers; Shang Yang is the law change. The profundity of his knowledge, the profundity of Taoism, the far-reaching ambition, and the wisdom of his realm are beyond what you can achieve with such utopian fantasies and slang proverbs. It's ridiculous. ”

After Wang Lun finished speaking, he still looked at the shopkeeper of the tea house with a smile.

"This ...... This ......" The shopkeeper of the tea house listened to Wang Lun's words, and felt that the business of more than ten years had been done in vain, and he couldn't say a word.

Chai Jin looked at Wang Lun even more fixedly, his eyes full of respect. Daigo empowerment, deafening and deaf, this is the way of great business! Thinking of the wine, salt, and horse businesses that the two cooperated, Chai Jin was even more eager.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." Chai Jin looked at Wang Lun and said, "Brother Wang's talent is immeasurable!" ”

Wang Lun waved his hand and was modest.

Over there, Chai Jin looked at the shopkeeper of the tea house and instructed the shopkeeper to bring the guy who made the mistake. After a while, the fellow was brought to his knees and did not dare to speak.

"Go get a scale!" Chai Jinchong's entourage commanded again.

Seeing Chai Jin like this, Wang Lun not only raised his interest, but also looked at it with interest.

I saw Chai Jin holding the weighing rod and said to the guy: "Since you made a mistake in weighing, I will tell you about the knowledge of this weighing rod." ”

Hearing Chai Jin's words, not only the guy, but also the shopkeeper of the tea house and others listened attentively.

"This scale is called weight, and this scale is called weight. That's where the word weigh-in comes from. Holding a scale rod in your hand must know how to weigh and use the way of weighing. Glancing at the man, Chai Jin pointed to the scale pole and said.

This is very reasonable, and Wang Lun also listened carefully.

"You see that these small stars are more fixed than fixed stars, also called crosshairs, and sixteen coins on this scale rod are equal to one tael, and sixteen taels are equal to one catty, why should this be called hexadecimal? Do you two understand? ”

The shopkeeper of the tea house and the guy were busy saying that they didn't understand.

Chai Jin then said: "This is the ancestor, the ancient sages given, sixteen decimal system, sixteen crosshairs, one two three four five six seven this represents the Big Dipper, warning people to use the scale, there is a direction in the heart, not to be greedy for money and money, confused to distinguish between right and wrong, 123456 these four stars, indicating the south, east, west, northwest and six directions. He admonished everyone to use the name in the middle of the new house, not to deviate. ”

"The last three stars are Fu Lu Shou three stars, when you weigh something to others, if you lose one or two, it is a loss of life, a loss of two taels is less Lu, a loss of three taels is a loss of blessing, then if you weigh others a few more taels! Isn't that just to add longevity to yourself, to add luck, and to increase blessings? You get the idea! ”

Speaking of this, Chai Jin glanced at the shopkeeper and the man meaningfully, and said, "Why should these stars be called crosshairs!" This is called a small person's heart, although the interests are high, do not take useless wealth, when you weigh things, you not only weigh things, but also call your own conscience, call your own moral character. ”

After Chai Jin finished speaking, the shopkeeper of the tea house and the guys trembled, and hurriedly said that they had been taught.

"Miss your first offense, and punish you for cleaning the tea house for one month, to set an example!"

After listening to Chai Jin's punishment, the tea house guys thanked him and followed the shopkeeper down.

Wang Lun took a sip of tea and said to Chai Jin: "I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in one scale, and the opinions of the big officials are really unique!" ”

Chai Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The words of the Shangjia family are just a warning to future generations!" ”

The two were drinking tea and chatting, and the outsiders came to report it. A group of officers and soldiers had just come in Cangzhou, and a prisoner car was escorted.

Wang Lun and Chai Jin glanced at each other and said, "Let's go, take a look!" ”
