Lu Su's grandmother thought a lot, and being a rich man at home was naturally more important than not being an official. If it weren't for the accumulation of two generations of Lu Su's grandfather and father, how could there be today's glory?

The relocation of the Lu family to Huiji County is a gamble, and the old grandmother is betting on Li Ming's character. As for the Lu family, the land and the dock fort are still there, so it can be regarded as a retreat. Anyway, it is getting more and more difficult to do the grain industry, and it is not bad to take the opportunity to change careers.

"Grandmother, isn't that all we have?" Lu Su didn't expect that his grandmother would sell all the grain, although it can't be regarded as all of it, after all, there is still a batch in each store, and if you insist on it, you can buy another batch back when you harvest this year.

"Your Excellency is like this, our Lu family should also show enough sincerity...... I'm just sorry, we only have so much food......" The old grandmother bowed slightly and apologized to Li Ming.

Originally, I was going to go to the East China Sea, but if the Lu family really took out 6,000 stone of grain, it would be enough to spend in a short time, so there was really no need to go to the East China Sea again.

"Old lady, I really value Lu Su's talent and potential, it is rare for him to be so virtuous and martial. If you can focus on training, your future achievements will definitely not be low. As for Lu's, I hope to continue to engage in grain business in Xuzhou, and I can allow Lu's to join the production and sales of 'Jiwei' soy sauce, and only need to pay a batch of franchise fees every year." Li Ming said with a smile.

"Jiwei soy sauce, our family also bought some, it is really good for seasoning, I didn't expect it to be an adult's industry." Lu Shi smiled, this is indeed a good business, they have tried to make sauce before, but the taste and texture are not up to the level of extreme taste. It's okay if you haven't eaten it, and those who have eaten Jiwei soy sauce must be able to share it.

"The little skill of carving insects, it was also ......forced by life back then," Li Ming smiled bitterly.

"But I don't know what this call is?" Sure enough, it was a businessman, and the old grandmother immediately entered the role of a businessman. In fact, Lu Su's grandfather was out of office back then, and the family's business was basically handed over to her to manage. The Lu family can have today's glory, and it can be said that the old grandmother has made great contributions.

Li Ming said for a while, and to put it bluntly, it was almost the same thing. For businessmen, this is just a layer of paper, but no one pierces it, so no matter how long it takes, it is still a layer of paper.

"Unified price, unified decoration, unified training? The franchise fee is a good model, and the more you open a store, the more you earn, which is very interesting! The old grandmother quickly thought of the benefits of this model, and the whole person seemed to be a few years younger.

Li Ming actually didn't have a good heart, in his opinion, as long as he could win over the Lu family, there would be an additional channel to buy grain, and the influence of the Gu family would be weakened to a certain extent.

The next day, the old grandmother's nephew came back, perhaps because he saw the military outside, and immediately ran back in a hurry. Seeing that Li Ming was treated as a guest by his aunt, he was a little relieved.

After knowing Li Ming's arrangement from his grandmother, he naturally promised to run Lu's grain store well. The old grandmother immediately made the decision and put 20% of the profits into the nephew's name, which Lu Su did not stop. Uncle Cousin has contributed a lot to the Lu family in the past two years, and even did not hesitate to stammer his reputation, and he did not hesitate to give some compensation, and he also had a disturbed conscience.

"Xiapi Chen Ying, I've seen Taishou!" The nephew of the old grandmother, that is, Chen Ying, came to Li Ming and bowed.

After a brief contact, Li Ming found that Chen Ying also had a good talent, but why was he not famous?!

"Your Excellency is a disciple of the Xiapi Chen family?" Bai Xin seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked.

"Chen is not talented, he is indeed from the Chen family in Xiapi, his father Chen Qi, once served as the county commander of the drama, and now he is idle to manage the ancestral property at home." Chen Ying saw Bai Xin asking such a question, and it was not easy to hide it, so he told his family background.

"In the past, Taiwei Chen was imprisoned, but I didn't expect that his ......family would be implicated in the end," Bai Xin sighed, and then explained to Li Ming, "Chen Qi is the nephew of Chen Qiu, the former Taiwei, and the Chen family is also a famous family of scholars, and his family background is no less than that of Yuan Valve." It's a pity that Chen Qiu was imprisoned and died, and the Chen family seems to be somewhat suppressed. ”

"In the past, if it wasn't for my aunt's help, let my Chen family get through the most difficult period, but I am afraid that the huge Xiapi Chen family would have fallen apart. My father and two uncles will also suffer a lot. Chen Ying replied.

At that time, if it wasn't for the Lu family to help bribe Zhang Rang, I was afraid that the three of them would also be implicated, and never hiring them might be the least serious situation, and if it was worse, they might have to be assigned to a remote county like Dongzhi, and even unjust death in prison was not impossible.

"The three sons of the Chen family, Chen Yu, Chen Cong and Chen Qi, are all talented!" Bai Xin said in a low voice, then turned around and asked Chen Ying, "Are the three of them still at home?" ”

"Uncle Chen Yu is already a member of Yuan Valve's staff, and Uncle Chen Cong and his father are still at home......" Chen Ying replied a little embarrassed, the so-called being at home is actually not at home.

"There is a lack of governance talents under the command of Riyao, why not go and visit?" Bai Xin lowered his voice and suggested, "The Chen clan is suffering from disasters now, but it will definitely rise in the future." If you don't solicit at the moment, it will not be easy to solicit in the future. ”

"Li also admires Taiwei Chen, and I have heard that the children of the Chen family are all good talents, I wonder if I can introduce them on my behalf?" Li Ming arched his hand at Chen Ying, Chen Ying at this moment is just a businessman, and he has no identity himself, so he doesn't need to be so polite.

The number of etiquette is needed, but if it is too polite, it seems to be deliberate.

"Li Taishou is a man of the day today, and his uncle and father have also mentioned that they will be very happy to meet adults in the future." Chen Ying naturally agreed, after all, this is also a good opportunity. Chen Cong and Chen Qi originally planned to lie dormant for a while, but if they really had the chance, they naturally wouldn't mind coming back.

"That's very good...... In addition, this business matter, it is better to arrange the steward to take over as soon as possible, and your talent should not be wasted on this. Li Ming looked at Chen Ying.

"Ying'er!" Lu Chen's old grandmother also spoke, "Lu family's side, and your brother to help take care of it, as long as you can keep the business in Guangling, Xiapi here, Mi family can take it if you want!" ”

"Brother?" Li Ming was a little curious.

"Ying is the second son, and there is a brother Chen Deng, who just took office as the commander of Dongyang County this year." Chen Ying returned.

Li Ming didn't know Chen Deng, and he nodded when he heard this. Dongyang is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Guangling County, and it should not be a big problem to help the Lu family stabilize its business in Guangling County with the name of the Chen family and the authority of the Dongyang County Order.

Then he looked back at his grandmother and said, "Since it is my aunt's explanation, then it should be arranged as soon as possible!" ”

He probably understood what his aunt meant, and to put it bluntly, he just hoped to be able to be in Huiji County, and then help Lu Su in government affairs. The Chen family has always been a drop of water, and the spring reciprocates, and the Lu family sends charcoal in the snow at a critical juncture, and Chen Ying doesn't mind paving the way for Lu Su.

"That's great!" The old grandmother actually thinks more, she doesn't want Chen Ying to take on the bad name of the Lu family anymore.
