Wang Sheng is his relative, so naturally no one stopped him, so he went to Wang Kefan's study through the hall.

"Yuntai, are you reading?"

Wang Sheng greeted and glanced at the bookcase casually, but he was slightly stunned.

The thick tome is buckled backwards, and the title on the cover is very eye-catching-"Da Ming Law Volume 10 and Hu Law 7".

"How do you have the leisure to watch this?" Wang Sheng was very strange.

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles."

Wang Kefan got up to greet him with a smile, and saw that the person next to Wang Sheng looked capable and dressed as a showman, so he bowed his hand: "What is this friend's name?" ”

It's not that he deliberately lowered his figure, the Ming Dynasty had a tradition of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and as Wang Kefan's six-grade military attaché, he didn't have much advantage in front of this showman, so he simply met with civility and etiquette.

"Don't dare, the younger brother's surname is Lu Mingshan, the word Renqing, is a member of the county Renwu year, and he should take Yuntai as his brother......" This Lu Renqing just entered school two years ago, and he is the little brother in the show in terms of seniority.

"Renqing has the ambition to abandon literature and join my Gongyi battalion." Wang Sheng introduced: "I knew him in the old days, I know him as a person, and his character and talent are first-class characters, and I am willing to guarantee him." ”

"Yes, welcome!" This is the first soldier to defect, just to buy horse bones for his daughter, Wang Kefan also wants to keep him: "In the past two days, I will bother the third brother, accompany Renqing to have a good look in the Gongyi camp, and first familiarize myself with the affairs of the army." ”

This is the meaning of two-way investigation, although the words are polite, in fact, there is room for maneuver, newcomers are new to the new arrival, it is not good to arrange positions directly, to have a mutual understanding, into the team process.

"Thank you Brother Yuntai for taking care of you." Lu Renqing thanked him lightly, looked pampered and not surprised, turned around and came to the bookcase, pointed to the book "Da Ming Law" and said with a smile: "If the younger brother is not mistaken, Brother Yuntai is studying the relevant chapters of "The Market". ”

"Oh? Why is Renqing so familiar with "Da Ming Law"? ”

He was really right, Wang Kefan was reading the chapter of "The Market, Yaxing Port" just now, and he could guess the relevant content just by the thickness of the book, Lu Renqing was indeed a little surprised.

"I'm ashamed, my younger brother's family is poor, and I want to take Xibin as a career before entering school, so I read this book." Xibin is the staff, that is, the commonly known master, Lu Renqing wanted to be the master at the beginning, so he worked "Da Ming Law".

Wang Kefan nodded, Xiucai belonged to the reserve training cadres of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that the current ninth-rate master was not a glorious thing, Lu Renqing could tell him calmly, but he was a calm and free person.

"Now in a chaotic world, the younger brother wants to find a career in the army, follow Brother Yuntai, and do some practical things in Gongyi."

Lu Renqing had something to say, and he stopped at the point, and then said goodbye with another salute, and Wang Kefan did not force him to stay, and let him go to take care of himself in a chic manner.

Although he was a little bookish, Wang Kefan had a good impression of him. This person has a degree of advance and retreat, and can correctly introduce and promote himself, which is completely different from the kind of rotten Confucianism who rigidly drills the eight strands of scripture, and chooses to join the Gongyi camp at this time, and his vision and courage are not bad.

"This person is a little interesting, is he the deputy whistle picked by the third brother?" The position of the deputy sentry officer is very important, even counting Wang Kefan himself, the four sentry officers are all cautious, and they have not yet selected the right candidate.

"I originally had this intention, but Brother Lu Xian had other plans and wanted to serve directly under Yuntai." Wang Sheng replied.

"It's better to be this way, be more steady." Wang Kefan thought about it for a moment and said, "I still lack a clerk here, so let him try." ”

The secretary is similar to a logistics staff officer, responsible for food, salary, materials, weapons and equipment, as well as official correspondence in the army, which is more suitable for Lu Renqing.

The servant brought tea, and the brothers sat down and talked about the military affairs of the camp.

"Yuntai, the camp has been spending too much recently, shouldn't you be more frugal? The mound dominates the state, and we live within our means, and we have already cut off our salaries......"

Wang Sheng failed to go to Wuchang Mansion to ask for salary, knowing that the Gongyi Battalion was in a financial crisis, and all the expenses for recruiting additional auxiliary soldiers were taken out by Wang Kefan personally. How do you fill such a big hole? What happens when the money is spent? He was very worried.

When the prime minister sets the state budget, he has to decide the expenditure based on the income. Since we can't get food and salary for the time being, we should find ways to reduce costs, reduce expenses, and get through this hard time.

"Third brother, don't worry."

Wang Kefan picked up the book of "Da Ming Law", patted it in his hand, and said with emotion: "I have studied "Hulu and Market" in the past few days, and I have a lot of experience. Leading soldiers is the same as doing business, you must dare to operate in debt, as long as the business is opened, money will make money. ”

It's this weird rhetoric again! Wang Sheng muttered in his heart, frowned, and said, "The Gongyi camp is a public instrument of the imperial court, how can it be confused with businessmen?" What if we run out of food? ”

"Mo Xiao took a look at this "Da Ming Law", the third brother may wish to read it in his spare time, and he may be able to use it in the future." Wang Kefan said with a smile: "The food will not be broken, and tomorrow morning the city god temple will be sacrificed!" ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Sheng was inexplicable.

"This matter is a bit complicated, go to the teahouse and sit and talk slowly......"

Wang Kefan handed "Da Ming Law" to Wang Sheng and pulled him out of the door.

……

Chongyang East Street, Runyaxuan Teahouse.

After the bandits were beaten away, most of the farmland in the county was restored to farming, and there was a great demand for manure, and the business of Tongjiang Commercial Bank also boomed. Yu Saburo was busy in the business house until dark, and he couldn't even take care of eating, so he hurriedly went home to change his cheongsam and rushed to the Runyaxuan Teahouse.

reported his name, and the guy led him to the private room, and when he entered the door, he saw Jingliang and Su Hanzhang, the boss of "Jin Buchang", and saw Jingliang get up to greet him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Brother Liang, forgive me, the shop is too busy, so you have been waiting for a long time......"

After a few words of greeting, Yu Saburo turned around and made a gesture to Su Hanzhang.

"I didn't expect Su Yuanwai to be here, San Lang is too rude today, you must punish me for being the east!"

"That's it, you don't have a lot of money, what are you fighting with me for this little money?" Su Hanzhang didn't get up to return the salute, sat on the chair and replied coldly, but took the matter of the banknote on himself, and turned his face to Jingliang and asked, "What about Master Zheng?" Why hasn't he arrived yet? ……”

Su Hanzhang is a land-sitting household in Chongyang County for several generations, his ancestors started a blacksmith shop, and gradually set up several dyeing and sauce shops, and became more and more prosperous in the hands of Su Hanzhang. "Gold is not exchanged" is the golden sign of his blacksmith shop, and the production of all kinds of ironware is sold in three prefectures and fourteen counties, and it is a well-known wealthy household in the county.

What is rare is that after Su Hanzhang was developed, he did not be unkind to the rich, but kept his family, sought education, and had many good deeds on weekdays, and had a good reputation in the county.

As a Confucian merchant eager to improve his social status, Su Hanzhang had both the eagerness to cooperate with the government and the reserve in front of Saburo.

At this moment, he was quite unhappy in his heart. The reason why I came to Runyaxuan today was because Zheng Xuan and Master Zheng of the county government were in the middle to negotiate the deal with Gongyiying, but I didn't expect Master Zheng to not even show his face, and even called Yu Sanlang, who couldn't be on the stage.

Jingliang was polite, and explained with a smile: "Master Zheng just has other important matters, so he won't come tonight." But it doesn't matter, he's just a middleman, and it's our Gongyi Camp that really wants to negotiate business with the two of you. ”

"Talking to you?" Su Hanzhang became more and more dissatisfied, if it weren't for the self-cultivation over the years, he would have to leave at that time.

This Jingliang is just a half-grown child, a pawn who acts on orders, and the Gongyi Battalion sent him forward, which is simply rude.

"Don't dare to ......"

As soon as Jing Liang was halfway through speaking, the door squeaked, and Wang Kefan and Wang Sheng walked in.

"It's no wonder that Su Yuanwai is outside, Jingliang is just the front station, and he will greet the two shopkeepers on my behalf." Wang Kefan spoke, clasping his fists at them.

Su Hanzhang was startled, and the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately flew out of the clouds, and he hurriedly left his seat to greet him.

Wang Kefan grabbed it and helped him up, and said cordially: "There are virtuous elders outside the Su Yuan, you don't have to stick to these customs, come, let's sit down and talk." ”

After a few polite words, everyone sat down, Wang Kefan sat in the main seat, but Su Hanzhang was forced to the second seat by Wang Sheng.

"How can this be made, it is really transgression, transgression......"

Su Hanzhang reluctantly sat down half-pushed, but he was very proud in his heart, as a businessman, he had to kneel at least when he saw the official master, and now he was sitting at the same table with Wang Kefan, which was really a face-saving thing.

"General Wang summoned us and others, I don't know what to order? But if you can use the old place, you will not shirk! ”

There must be something to ask for, but it doesn't matter, although this Wang Kefan is only a six-rank military attaché, he can also fight against the county commander Xu Bingzhong, and he is a figure worth befriending.

"Oh, that's right, I'd like to order five hundred shovels and a few other military equipment at your number......"

Wang Kefan told the story, ordered a batch of iron tools from "Jin Buchang", and ordered a burden and chicken bus from Tongjiang Commercial Bank, etc., except for the time to be a little urgent, the price given was very high, even exceeding the normal market price.

Su Hanzhang became more and more strange in his heart, where is this talking about business, it is simply to send money to himself, and he can earn hundreds of taels of silver casually.

If something goes wrong, it is a demon, he turned his head and looked at Yu Saburo, both of them looked panicked and confused.

"General Wang, the goods you want can't cost so much silver, according to the current market, I will think of saving some more, and the price can be at least half cheaper......" Su Hanzhang secretly made up his mind, if he didn't figure things out, he would rather not do this business.

"No, just go at this price." Wang Kefan said with a smile: "But I still have to bother the two of you, and use the extra silver to help me do another thing." ”

"Please General Wang just give orders, we are willing to serve!" That's right, Su Hanzhang and Yu Saburo felt relaxed for a while.

Wang Kefan showed a faint smile on his face, like a monk who had an epiphany when he heard the law, and he was very happy.

"Tomorrow on the first day of the new year, the City God Temple will sacrifice to the god Zhaijiao, and I would like to ask the two of you to help me ask for a merit......"

PS: New week, new battles, again for recommendations, for collections!
