When my uncle came to the door, Zhang's house was busy, especially Zhang Rang's two sons, who were almost as happy as seeing their own son, serving tea and pouring water, and setting a table of snacks and fruits, lest they take care of it.

After asking long and short questions, Zhang Changshi pulled Li Yan out of the living room, and Zhang You mentioned business to Zhang Rang.

"It's hard to say how many manpower you need?"

"It doesn't take too much, didn't Tang Erzhuang help train them, pick up those with excellent grades and good brains, twenty people should be enough." After saying that, Zhang You added: "By the way, it's best to be better, after all, the enemy's martial arts are strong, even if it's just to follow the clues, it's very dangerous." ”

"Understand, this matter is on the father's head, when will they come to you?"

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, you wait here, for the sake of the Father, I'll go and pick someone for you." said that he was in a hurry, Zhang Rangbian said.

"I'll follow you, too."

"No need, your mother-in-law hasn't seen you for a long time, it's rare to come over once, talk to her, send someone to call Jia Lin back in a while, and let's have a good drink at noon."

After that, Zhang Rang had already walked to the door, and shouted to a subordinate to send him to invite Zhang Jialin, and his footsteps did not stop, and walked out quickly.

Zhang You stopped, listening to Zhang Rang shouting at people to prepare horses again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this old father-in-law is too good to himself, right? I'm not afraid to spoil myself.

"Zicheng, why didn't you bring Jia Lin with you?" Zhang Changshi asked complainingly.

"My father-in-law has already sent someone to call, mainly because I didn't want to stay and eat, no, my father-in-law has a life, and I don't dare to disobey." Zhang You joked.

Zhang Changshi glanced at him and said, "Listening to what you mean, it's quite reluctant?" ”

"Where, where is it, you two treat me better than my biological parents, aren't you too busy these days, and you haven't been idle since you returned to Beijing......

"Knowing you're busy, I'm talking to your father-in-law about going to see you...... No matter how busy you are, you have to pay attention to your body and bones, now that you are young, you will know that it is great at our age. ”

"How old are you? You don't look old at all, let's go to the street together, and those who don't know will definitely think that you are my sister-in-law, and will never think that you are my mother-in-law. Zhang You quipped, not to mention, probably because of the pampering, Zhang Chang's is indeed not old, and Li Yan is sitting together, the two of them are good at the field, and the whole is a pair of sisters.

"It's not big or small," Zhang Changshi glared at Zhang You, his mouth was counting, but his heart was beautiful, he just forcibly hid it, and said: "Let's be serious, it's rare for you to come back once, I have to report to you on our recent business situation......"

"Haven't I always had correspondence, besides, you're not an outsider, so what else do I have to worry about?" Zhang You interrupted Zhang Chang's way with a smile.

"Rest assured, the etiquette can't be bad, who made you the big boss behind the scenes......" Zhang Changshi said with a smile, his expression became serious, and he began to tell about the various businesses she had been responsible for during this time. She was born to do business, she didn't have to look at the accounts at all, all the data was stored in her head, and she was at her fingertips, like a sophisticated computer.

Daming Silver has developed smoothly, counting the new branches opened by Zhang You in Jiangnan, so far it has nearly 180 branches, supporting thousands of employees, and the monthly net profit can reach one million taels of silver, which is like a behemoth in the financial world.

"How much does it cost to the palace every month?" After listening to the report, Zhang You asked with concern.

Zhang Changshi blinked, quite cunning: "I have made two sets of accounts, and the real profit is only known to me, and Banzai only reports fifty percent, and it is handed over according to the proportion that was said at the beginning...... However, it is only to pay the accounts, and the real silver taels are still left with us, and the long live Lord can use them as he wants. ”

"Clever!" Zhang You gave a thumbs up and praised loyally. There has always been news that is true, but since he went to Jiangnan, his focus is no longer above the silver number, and this is the first time he knows about these situations.

"It's not clever, I have to save a hand for our future...... No one can say for sure what is going on in the officialdom, Sister Li is not an outsider, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, in case one day...... We also have a way out. To tell you the truth, I have asked my friends in Jiangnan to buy a large plot of land in Luzon to grow a new species introduced from the Americas, the rubber tree......"

"What?" Zhang You stood up suddenly: "Really? ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Chang's heart beat faster when he was frightened by Zhang You's sudden movements, glared at him with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" You haven't heard of rubber trees, have you? I can take rubber from the tree, a very elastic thing, and it is an excellent material for making bows and arrows, and I have a hunch that this thing will be very rich, and I am going to plant it in a large area......"

"You are really my mother," Zhang You couldn't help himself with excitement, hugged Zhang Changshi fiercely, still couldn't suppress his joy, turned back and forth a few times, and finally stood in front of the stunned Zhang Changshi again: "I knew that you had this kind of vision, why bother with my grandfather and grandmother to cooperate with the Shen family in Shaoxing Mansion to buy rubber, and we will be able to produce it ourselves soon......"

Zhang You's heart was like a deer, and he reacted when he heard this: "Do you know what rubber is?" He didn't mention it when he was too excited, but asked, "Do you also think this thing is very rich?" "I was faintly happy in my heart - Zhang You doesn't look at his age, in terms of knowledge, there is no other in the world. Originally, she was still a little unsure about buying land to plant rubber trees, but after this affirmation, she suddenly had a bottom.

"It's not just about having money, it's just promising...... Mother-in-law, your visionary son-in-law is considered to have seen it today, and he is born to be the material for doing big things, and it is really a bit condescending to only do business, and it is estimated that it is more than enough to be a household secretary. ”

"You just fool me, where is it as powerful as you say...... Still, I'm a little bit bottomless, how do you think that rubber has a lot to offer? ”

Zhang Chang's face was a little red, it was praised by Zhang You, although she knew that it must be a bit exaggerated, but Zhang You's must still make her a little excited.

"I can't say it for the time being, you just plant it quickly, and make sure you make a lot of money...... By the way, there's another crop that you can grow a little bit ......."

"What crop?" Zhang Changshi asked.

"Poppies, also known as hibiscus, you should have heard of them, right?" Zhang You blinked and said, this thing was introduced into Huaxia a long time ago, and in addition to medicinal use, it has always been cultivated as a precious flower species.

"Of course I've heard of it," Zhang Chang said, and then asked, "What are you planting it for?" Is it medicinal? Or do you also see the profits of opium? This thing is paid by Siam every year, and the price is higher than gold, and I really have the idea of going to Siam to buy a poppy orchard. ”
