[Finally caught up.] 】

"I said Zhang Jiu, you've been bored here for a few days, and you should go out for a walk."

"Didn't I already say it yesterday, I'll stay here and talk about it after the conference."

In the clubhouse of the Emperor Song Nature Society, after living like a fish in water for a few days, early in the morning, Zhang Hui was entangled by Li Ying, which made Zhang Jiubai helpless.

"Tomorrow the conference will officially begin, and if there is any arrangement at the meeting, maybe there will be no time to shop. It just so happened that there were no interesting presentations or interesting discussions today. ”

"That's what you don't have anymore! Why didn't you call me out yesterday morning? Zhang Hui asked.

"That ......" Li Ying could only laugh dryly.

"It's because of the circumcision workshop in the East Ninth Hall!" Zhang replied to expose the old bottom, and asked, "Why didn't you call me the day before yesterday?" ”

"This ......" Li Ying could only laugh dryly.

"It's because of the preaching of the elliptical circumference formula of Li Yuanju in Suiyang!"

Li Ying was forced to ask again and again, and asked rhetorically, "Which one are you going to listen to today?" ”

Zhang Jiu hesitated.

On the last day before the conference, both the paper presentation and the topic discussion were much less than the previous two days, with only a few sporadic sessions, and the seminars that were not registered in advance at the society were all idle in nature and did not have much participation value......

“…… Haven't figured it out yet. He said.

"Look, it's fine." Li Ying persuaded hard, "It's hard to come here." You have to go for a walk and buy some Tokyo stuff to take home. ”

"Nothing to go to!" Zhang Hui's refusal was still resolute, "You can buy the Tokyo scenery you brought back here, and it's cheap...... This is still what Li Jiu said. ”

On the day they stayed here at the Society, Zhang Hui and Li Ying were told that there were also consignment goods here. If members want to buy something, they just need to tell the society directly on the consignment catalog. Entrust the society to purchase it in a unified manner, and stamp duty can also be included.

The internal personnel of the society, what assistants, cadres, managers, and positions are all borrowed from the name of official positions, and the people are all transferred from the prime minister's office. It's just that there is no arrogance in front of the door, and he is willing to serve the members of the society.

Li Ying went to see it a long time ago, and came back and said that the consignment sales were all good things, and some of them were difficult to buy even if they had money - the cotton cloth of twisted valerian [tie-dye] and wax valerian [batik] were all guild prices, which were two to forty percent cheaper than those sold on the market. The silver mirror, as well as the fragrance, are all similar, and they are all new goods in the year, not old things in the warehouse.

When Li Ying said it at the time, Zhang Hui could see that he had some regrets, probably regretting that he couldn't buy them in large quantities.

Li Ying's family is engaged in business, and several of his relatives are officials, one of whom was in Beijing two years ago, but he has never been a jinshi among his close relatives.

The Li family's business is very large, which is different from Zhang's home, which only has a few hectares of fertile land. Therefore, Li Ying can focus on the way of things, according to Li Ying, in the past few years, he has smashed as many as seven or eight thousand on it.

The reason why the expenses like flowing water were not opposed by the family, but were supported, was entirely because of the presence of Su and Han. At the same time, I also hope that Li Ying can take this road and earn another official position for the Li family. After all, in the past two years, the competition between Song and Liao on the steam engine was indeed a thunderous thrill for the people who only knew that everything was inferior, but only those who were well-educated.

Li Ying said a lot later, which shows that he is still under a lot of pressure at home, but he can't find anyone to talk to. Only Zhang Hui, a newly made friend from other places, could let him let down his guard.

However, Zhang Hui's attention was all focused on the number of seven or eight thousand at that time. God knows, Zhang Hui also wants to install a three-foot barometer in front of his house, buy seven or eight table clocks of various colors in one go, put them at home, use one, dismantle one, and then take a six-inch telescope to observe Jupiter's fourth moon every sunny night - as for why he only observes Ganymede, not Ganymede, just because he is happy.

Later, Zhang Hui finally reacted, and understood that Li Ying, a child like Li Ying, who could not bring benefits to the family and had been spending money, was under a lot of pressure. As long as there is a little heart, it is impossible for an adult son to use the money in the family with peace of mind, but it will not bring a little return. But Li Ying may be a businessman and has an extremely outstanding talent in arithmetic, but he doesn't know anything about trading, and he doesn't like it at all. In the past, before he came into contact with the way of Gewu, he could only study according to the arrangement of his family, in order to be able to be admitted to the Jinshi, but now he has some achievements in qi science, and he has also been recognized by his family, so he does not need to contact the business he does not like.

However, this time, in terms of learning to provide special products for sale, Li Ying did not show the greed of a businessman, not because he couldn't make money, but because he also knew some principles of human feelings, "This is the face that each guild will give to the society in the face of Han Xianggong, if we don't want to be faceless, then it will really be shameless." ’

According to what Zhang Hui heard, the preferential treatment this time was the support of the guilds of various guilds. But there are limits to support. That is, the quantity purchased can only be used as a gift, and once the quantity is large enough to be trafficked, it will not work.

Zhang Hui didn't plan to do business, and his self-esteem and pride as a member of the society also made him unwilling to take advantage of the society, so he only planned to buy some and take them back after the conference. As for going out shopping, it was completely out of his plans.

"How can this be the same?" Li Ying still didn't accept Zhang Hui's refusal, "The things you learned are for you to take back and give away, and the things you buy when you go shopping in Tokyo are for yourself." Chapter IX. Your home is close to Tokyo, but you don't come here often. This is the first time to go to Beijing, so I have to take a good stroll. After you couldn't go back to your hometown, your family asked you, "How is Tokyo City?" You say it's big. How about the state bridge? You're saying it's long. How about opening a pagoda? Pretty high. How is Fan Lou? It's very lively. Does this sound like words?! ”

Li Ying seems to have changed into a storyteller, with a scary mouth.

Zhang Hui sighed, Li Ying finally looked like a businessman, whether it was eloquence or bargaining skills, he was a standard businessman.

"Okay." Zhang Hui nodded helplessly, but added another condition, "It's only half a day." ”

……………………

From the clubhouse to Tokyo City, there is a public carriage that has been arranged and departs on time.

Zhang Hui, Li Ying, plus one of Li Ying's companions, the three of them got into the carriage and arrived all the way to Nanxun Gate.

There were several other people in the carriage, either with bronze badges or staff members of the society, who got off the car and left one after another when they arrived at the ground.

Zhang Hui and the three of them finally got off the car, and the coachman tidied up the reins of the horse, and was about to get in the car and transfer to the predetermined place to pick up the members on the return trip.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

There was a series of hurried shouts, and a man hurried over with a package.

After running over, he was panting, holding the wheel in one hand: "It's going to Xujiawa, right?" ”

The coachman looked at the man and nodded, "Which direction are you going?" ”

"That's good." As soon as the man picked up the package, he had to get into the car.

The coachman stopped him with one hand, "This car only picks up Han Xianggong's guests, are you an official of the Natural Society?" ”

Zhang Hui and Li Ying were next to them, and they hadn't had time to leave yet. Seeing their outfits, the man smiled cautiously, "Isn't it a lie?" ”

"Who dares to deceive Han Xianggong?!" The coachman rushed, "Isn't it an official who has learned?" No, just go over there and wait. ”

He pointed to the stop sign not far away, and his voice was full of expression.

The man muttered and walked away with the package.

"There are cars all over the ground, why doesn't he take other cars and squeeze this one?" Zhang Hui looked at the man and asked puzzled.

The man was walking towards the stop sign, and after only a few steps, he had already been accosted by several carriage drivers, but he ignored anyone.

"The officials don't know." The coachman pointed back to the white letters on the blue background on the carriage, "This is a public carriage." Pointing to the other horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the road, "That's a private rental car." ”

"Big difference?" Li Ying also asked suspiciously.

The coachman looked left and right, then leaned closer, and whispered, "The two officials should remember in the future, and only take the public carriage under the stop sign." The official car is the safest. Don't listen to those casual passengers, get into their cars and be deceived carefully. ”

Zhang Hui was taken aback, "Are they all liars? ”

Li Ying also asked, "How much can you deceive?" ”

"The light one will cost an extra hundred and ten dollars, and the heavier one will ......," the coachman gestured with his hand on his neck, "Two days ago, a human corpse was found in Dongbalidian, and the clothes were stripped naked. I went to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives and friends, but I didn't expect to be deceived when I arrived in Beijing, not to mention taking refuge, my life was gone. ”

"That's right." Zhang Hui shuddered.

"Don't worry, officials, if it's a talent who goes to Beijing to study, no one who doesn't have long eyes dares to think about it. The one who looked like he was a businessman, so I would like to mention a few words, in exchange for two officials, in the past, they took the car, and they were honestly sent to the land, and at most they charged a few more hard-earned money. The coachman sighed, "Speaking of which, Jingshi is much better than in the past. In the past, even the county lord was sinned, and the son of the privy councillor was also abducted, and now, the entire Kaifeng City can be turned over. It doesn't matter if you do it or not, catch it first, if you don't commit this one, there will be another one before. If you really make a big mistake, the few businesses in the lower nine ranks are more anxious than the public in Kaifeng Mansion, and they have to fight hard as soon as possible, otherwise, let's go to the end of the world together. ”

"Yunnan?" Li Ying asked. Talking to the coachman, he forgot to get down to business.

"Yunnan?" The coachman sneered twice, "That's good." The Western Regions is medium, and the worst is to go to Lingnan. ”

Zhang Hui was puzzled, and asked again, "Why is Lingnan worse than the Western Regions?" ”

"Don't look at the Western Regions as remote, hot in summer and cold in winter, windy and sandy, at least there are few symptoms. There are too many diseases in Lingnan, they are not accustomed to the water and soil, and they have not been treated by good doctors, and they have lost too many lives within a few months of going. In the Beijing Division, those who were sent to the Western Regions, came over in the next year, and most of them could still have one or two letters back, and I heard that there was a lucky one who saw merit in the battle battle, and was pardoned for his sins, and sent two blonde bearded girls to be placed on the spot. The coachman sighed, full of envy and jealousy, "If you go to Yunnan to farm, in a few years, you can also have a girl to marry, and most of them can send a letter back, but if you go to Lingnan, eight out of ten will not be heard from again." ”

"I see." Zhang Hui nodded.

But the coachman suddenly froze, "The two officials should go back first." ”

"What?"

The coachman looked back at the road, his eyes hooked, "Han Xianggong's car just passed." ”

"Prime Minister, silent ......" Li Ying shook his head in disbelief, but jumped into the car.

Zhang Hui's heart jumped, and he also jumped into the car, "Go back!" ”

Han Gang is finally here, and he will definitely rush back.
