As the sun sets, the evening breeze brings a touch of coolness to the dry tropics of summer.

At night, the bustling city of Jiangning not only did not fall silent, but became more lively.

Like the Song Dynasty, the Hua Dynasty did not have a night curfew, so night markets appeared in such a relaxed environment.

"Young master, entertain a few of our subordinates, why bother in such a luxurious place."

In the box on the third floor of Yuhua Restaurant, Uncle Zhang's face hurt, and in his eyes, the table was not a delicacy but a silver with white flowers.

"Uncle Zhang's words are polite, when the Lin family is in trouble, you still treat me like a young master, how can this friendship be compared to a meal."

"The young master's words are out of sight, the master treats us as his own family, how can we be ungrateful."

An old man about the same age as Uncle Zhang said loudly.

Compared with the rich appearance of Zhang Bo Maitreya Buddha, this person is a little thin, but he looks shrewd and capable.

This person used to be the account office of the Lin family, and his surname was Hu.

"It's just... That is, as long as there is little, little, the young master does not dislike it, and the small, small, small ones are willing to be the young master's nursing home for a lifetime. ”

The man who spoke was a bear with a bear's back, named Shan Hu, who used to be the Lin family's nursing home, and his strength was terrifying, but his head was a little straight.

"As far as your amount of food is concerned, the young master can't afford to raise it if you don't want a monthly salary." Uncle Zhang's son Zhang Yang was white-eyed and single-eyed.

"Zhang Yang, what do you mean, is it begging to be beaten again?" Shan Hu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms.

Seeing this, Hu Yi shook his head slightly, and Uncle Zhang scolded: "Little brute, why do you always provoke Shan Hu?" ”

"Who made him knock out my front teeth, you see." After that, Zhang Yang opened his mouth, and the two front teeth on it were really gone.

Lin Mu laughed and laughed, this Zhang Yang and Shan Hu are a pair of living treasures, one has a flexible brain and no power to restrain the chicken, the other is stupid, Kong Wu is powerful, and the two of them have fought in the Lin family before.

Uncle Zhang was a little helpless, he explained: "Young master, after you left the old slave's house, Shan Hu, a fool, blocked the door every day and asked the old slave for someone, saying that it was lost by someone at the old slave's house, and the old slave had to find it back. ”

Lin Mu understands the temper of Shan Hu.

He said to Zhang Yang: "It's my fault for saying goodbye to this matter, I have wronged Dalang, you lost two teeth, and I will make up two gold for you." ”

Zhang Yang suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, "Jin's? It's a pity, Shan Hu, why don't you knock out a few more of my teeth. ”

"You bastard." Uncle Zhang laughed as he spoke.

Others also shook their heads with a wry smile, but although Zhang Yang and Shan Hu often had conflicts, everyone knew that they were a family and never minded, just playing between brothers.

After a burst of laughter, Uncle Zhang pulled the topic back, and he asked, "Young Master, how do you plan to revitalize the Lin family?" ”

Lin Mu already had an idea in his heart about this question.

Since he has the resources of a city, he naturally wants to do some lucrative business.

And in the Chinese Dynasty, if you want to make huge profits, you can't follow the routine.

"In recent years, Western goods have been favored by many officials, and I am ready to do a similar business." Lin Mu said that finding the right product and market is the basic principle of sales.

"Is the young master going to sell opium? Now only this one is the most profitable, and now there are three in Jiangning City, and it is not too late. Zhang Yang said thoughtfully.

"The Lin family will not touch opium." Lin Mu's expression became serious.

Although the system of the Chinese Dynasty is similar to that of the Song Dynasty, it is dated after the Song Dynasty.

According to Lin Mu's calculations, the current Hua Dynasty should be in the middle of the 19th century, and many Westerners have come to the Hua Dynasty to do business, and this opium came with the Westerners.

According to Lin Mu's speculation, it must have been the West's dissatisfaction with the trade deficit with the Chinese Dynasty that led to such a deed.

Hu Yi and Uncle Zhang glanced at each other, and Uncle Zhang said: "The young master is right, what the master hated the most during his lifetime was opium, and we must not do such a business." ”

"Now the Chinese Dynasty is constantly fighting, and there is the Jin Dynasty in the north, this foreigner used to be honest in business, but now he is importing opium on a large scale, in the old opinion, they are by no means a good master, I am afraid that it is more dangerous than the Jin people, we can't help the abuse." Hu Yi is a scholar and has always liked to comment on world affairs.

Lin Mu nodded, the Jin Dynasty faced by the Hua Dynasty belonged to the Jurchens, who had destroyed half of the Hua Dynasty all the way since the Northeast, and now confronted the Hua Dynasty with the Huai River and the Qinling Mountains.

"When I say Western goods, I don't buy foreigners' things to sell, but produce them myself." Lin Mu said.

At present, the scientific and technological level of the Chinese Dynasty is equivalent to that of the late Ming Dynasty, and the army has been equipped with a large number of muskets, but industrialization is far from coming.

The reason is sad: the pampered scholar class had no incentive to reform at all, which is why the reforms of the Chinese Dynasty continued to fail.

They were afraid that industry would seize the serfs who served them, and they were even more afraid that the scholars and the emperor would rule the world together and the people would rule the world with the emperor.

"Production?" Uncle Zhang looked confused, this is a new term.

Lin Mu understood that his words were a little ahead of his time, so he explained.

Hu Yi exclaimed: "Young master, who have you met during this time, and you have understood so much. ”

Lin Mu needed to find an excuse for what he would come up with in the future, so he said: "After leaving Uncle Zhang's house, I went out of the city and met a Western caravan, which I learned from a scholar in the caravan, and I also learned magic with him. ”

"Magic?" Again, everyone was puzzled.

Lin Mu took out a copper plate at this time and said, "Actually, it's a trick." ”

With that, he rubbed the copper plate in the palm of his hand, and disappeared as soon as he opened it.

Uncle Zhang and the four of them were dumbfounded, and Shan Hu's eyes were straight, "Young master, what, what, why is it gone." ”

"The young master has learned immortal arts." Zhang Yang was frightened.

Lin Mu smiled, slapped his fingers, and the copper plate suddenly appeared again.

The four of them were suddenly amazed.

"It's not a fairy, it's just a trick." Lin Mu didn't explain much, deliberately maintaining a sense of mystery.

In this way, you won't be questioned too much if you take something out abruptly.

After all, today's Chinese Dynasty does not know much about the West, and even in modern times, magic can use the fake as its own excuse.

"When the soldiers are impressed every other day, it seems that reviving the Lin family is not a joke." Hu Yi smiled.

Uncle Zhang was also relieved, and he asked, "What is the young master going to produce first?" ”

With his eyes rolling, Lin Mu said: "Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the foundation of people's livelihood, we might as well produce cloth first." ”

"Cloth? Young master, we can't compete with the Liu family, they are a century-old shop. ”

Lin Mu said with a smile: "No matter what store he is, this goods are more than quality and price after all." ”
