"Today's matter is thanks to Mr. Xu."

Waiting for Yu Guozhen in the other courtyard was Xu Lin and Xu Zhongyuan, who had raised the price today.

"Where is it, Young Brother Yu is a young hero, and he is resourceful, even if he doesn't do anything, the final price will not be low." Xu Lin smiled and bowed his hand.

He was wearing a robe, proving that he was not a simple businessman, Yu Guozhen led him into the courtyard, and when he saw the young guards who were training around him, he stopped and showed a slightly surprised expression.

"What did Mr. Xu teach me?" Yu Guozhen turned his face to look at him.

The height of the two, Yu Guozhen is still slightly taller, Xu Lin retracted his gaze, raised his eyes slightly and said: "Contemptible people are self-aware, although they also like military affairs, but they only have the ability to talk about soldiers on paper, Young Brother Yu has won battles and successes, how can I teach my young brother the ability to teach him!" ”

The two walked to the middle of the courtyard, Xu Lin looked around, except for the young guards who were practicing marksmanship and knife skills with Shi Jingyan, there were no idle people in the entire courtyard. Only then did he solemnly say: "Young Brother Yu, the contemptible family has recently encountered an accident, and the original business can't be done, so there is only another way to survive......

Without waiting for Yu Guozhen to ask, he told his own situation, it turned out that the Xu family was also a famous family among the Hui merchants, although it has not been a big family, but in Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou have their own industries, and even two sea ships, going back and forth between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom.

But just a few years ago, the Xu family's ship had an accident, both sea ships sank, and even the head of the family was shipwrecked, which made Xu Lin, who was originally going to take a career in office, have to come back to take charge of the family business. Half of the goods on those two ships belonged to other families, and Xu Lin broke his family to repay them, and then there was very little left in the family, and if he couldn't find a new source of wealth, the family road would be lost.

Xu Lin kept saying that Yu Guozhen just listened and didn't interject. The man spoke in a very coherent manner, and although he spoke of his own pain, his tone was also very steady, except for the occasional flash of light in his eyes, showing his sadness.

"This man is a very capable person, with a good manners, a great deal of self-control, and a very thorough consideration of things." Yu Guozhen thought to himself.

Xu Lin must have asked for him, he first showed favor when auctioning the method of seed beads, and now he frankly told his own affairs, this person is smart and knows how to advance and retreat, Yu Guozhen has a very good impression of him.

Therefore, after learning that Young Brother Yu had sold the seed beads, the contemptible people took out all the money that could be embezzled by the family now and scraped together 5,000 taels of silver, originally to see if they could catch Young Brother Yu's boat. But now they are all connoisseurs, and the contemptible people didn't pick up the cheap, thinking about it, they could only come to ask Young Brother Yu with a shy face. ”

"Oh, what does Mr. Xu want from me?" Yu Guozhen asked in surprise.

"Please sell the goods on behalf of Young Brother Yu." Xu Lin said sincerely: "The other twelve are all giant merchants, their shop semicolons, almost all over the north and south of the river, only Young Brother Yu has suffered in this regard, although the contemptible family has encountered some setbacks, but in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou Zhucheng, the business relationship is still there, if you are fortunate enough to get the consent of Young Brother Yu, the contemptible people can sell the pearls of the Yu family to these places!" ”

"What else?"

"Besides......" Xu Lin hesitated slightly, staring at Yu Guozhen tightly, but in Yu Guozhen's expression, he couldn't see anything.

Finally, he gritted his teeth: "River beads can be planted, and South Beads must also be planted!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Yu Guozhen looked at him in surprise, and his face showed the emotions in his heart for the first time!

When Yu Guozhen is with Xiaolian and Ruyi, and even in informal occasions with the Gao brothers, Luo Jiuhe, Ye Wuya and others, he will joke and frolic without losing his innocence. But he knows that his face is young and often despised, so he always does not smile on formal occasions. As soon as this emotion was suddenly revealed, Xu Lin felt a little uncomfortable, and he was stunned for a while before he understood: "Young Brother Yu...... Didn't plan to do this? ”

Yu Guozhen really didn't have this plan, it can be said that Xu Lin woke up the dreamer with a word, he sold the pearl technique of freshwater river beads, but he did not sell the pearl seed technique of seawater south pearls! In the pearl world, there has always been a saying that "the east is not as good as the west, the west is not as good as the south", among the sea pearls, the south pearl is the most precious, that is, the so-called "Hepu pearl"!

"Nanzhu can indeed be planted." Yu Guozhen said slowly: "It's just that you must also know that Nanzhu is a royal use, and even if it is planted, it is difficult to sell it." ”

"Young Brother Yu, now the dignitaries and dignitaries are competing for luxury, according to the imperial decree of Emperor Taizu, merchants are not allowed to wear silk, but now the Hui merchants and Jin merchants, which one is not full of silk and satin?" Xu Lin laughed: "Besides, since the Jiajing and Wanli dynasties, the Southern Pearl has been extremely rare, and there are even cases where the imperial court spends a huge amount of money and earns only a few taels. Every year, for the sake of pearl diving, there are always dozens or hundreds of egg people who die, if you can plant Nanzhu, it can be regarded as a great merit! ”

The expression on Yu Guozhen's face had already subsided, and he returned to his calm and waveless state.

"If Young Brother Yu is still not at ease, this contemptible person is willing to sell this Hepu Zhu to Hongfan." Xu Lin said again: "What does the young brother think?" ”

"If you want to plant Nanzhu, you must go to Qinlian Erzhou." Yu Guozhen squinted his eyes slightly, hiding the fluctuations in his heart: "It's hot there, and Mr. Xu is willing to travel thousands of miles to that wild and barren place?" ”

"That's natural, Qinlian Erzhou is not far from Guangzhou Prefecture, and the contemptible people traveled all over the world when they were young, and they also went to Hepu."

Yu Guozhen nodded, and did not reply to Xu Lin immediately, but his heart was turbulent. He originally planned to go to the south to prepare a foundation, but he didn't know where to choose.

The Dutch have established themselves in the south, the Spaniards have begun to explore the north, and the power of the Japanese has not disappeared, and even the Dutch governor has been kidnapped. At this time, Yu Guozhen had scarce manpower and property, and it was unrealistic to want to use Taiwan as a foundation.

It is said that a few years ago, strange winds occurred frequently in the vicinity of Lingao, and although Hainan was good, it was the same as Taiwan, and it was not possible to take care of the lack of manpower and materials in Yu Guozhen's hands.

So he originally wanted to find a place near Guangzhou Mansion as the rear of his cunning rabbit's third cave. But now Xu Lin's suggestion made him see a new choice.

Qinzhou.

Qinzhou is a natural harbor, not too far away from a big city like Guangzhou, there is already a certain amount of development, if Qinzhou can be based on the foundation, there is a development time of about 20 years, Yu Guozhen is convinced that he can not only reverse the fate of Hu Lu dominating China for 260 years, but even let the history of mankind return to his original natural history normal process.

Since its civilization, the Chinese nation has been the most advanced nation in the world, and occasionally "one" is added, which is the normal process of natural history.

"Mr. Xu, directly in Lianzhou Hepu, it is easy to attract attention, if you want to open up a pearl field, it is better to Qinzhou." After a slight groan, Yu Guozhen finally made up his mind: "If Mr. Xu really wants to do this business, I have a suggestion." ”

"Please."

"The action should be fast, Mr. Xu thought of planting Haizhu, and others will also think that those twelve are all hands and eyes, if Mr. Xu can't get things done within three or five years, it will be difficult to enter this market."

"What does Young Brother Yu mean...... Are you willing to support me? Xu Lin couldn't help but get excited: "This grace is like recreation, and I am very grateful!" ”

"And slow gratitude, listen to Mr. Xu's tone, think about the tight capital in your hands, this Nanzhu matter, not a day or two can produce results, even if it goes well, it will take more than three years, of which the investment, slow to tens of thousands of taels of silver, Mr. Xu can get it?"

"It's hard for me to do this, with the support of Young Brother Yu, I can borrow money from some of my father's friends." Xu Lin said this, his spirit was extremely uplifted, although he was very calm before, but he was always shrouded in sorrow, but now, not only is the sadness gone, but his whole person is even radiant.

"Huh." Yu Guozhen looked at him with a smile and did not answer.

Xu Lin quickly calmed down, he hesitated for a while, and then stretched out five fingers: "Fifty percent belongs to Young Brother Yu." ”

Yu Guozhen squinted: "Wouldn't you suffer a big loss in this way, the money is yours, the people are you looking for, the sales are all yours, and I almost sit and eat fifty percent of the dry shares." ”

"If there is no support from Young Brother Yu, I want to turn over, let alone twenty years, with the support of Young Brother Yu, after five years, the Xu family will be reinvigorated." Xu Lin said: "Although the contemptible people are not talented, they have also read the books of the sages, and they have been rewarded by the grace of the water. ”

"Every time you slaughter more dogs, you have never been a scholar."

Yu Guozhen's words suddenly made Xu Lin's face beep, his face turned into the color of pig liver, and he looked at Yu Guozhen for a while before he held back his anger: "In this case, Young Brother Yu's words just now won't be a joke, right?" ”

"Naturally not, I have another suggestion, villain first and then gentleman." Yu Guozhen said: "If I taught you the art of planting sea pearls, but you got rid of me, wouldn't I be in vain?" ”

"Please, listen to the contemptible people."

"You don't have to look for someone to borrow money, all the funds, I'm out." Yu Guozhen said: "However, at first, we were not doing the Nanzhu business, but cotton cloth. ”

"Cotton?" Xu Lin was stunned: "That's a specialty of Songjiang Mansion......"

"My cloth is cheaper than Songjiang Mansion, and the price is cheap, and the price can even be sold like linen." Yu Guozhen said firmly: "The quality is no worse than the general Songjiang cloth, and the shipment volume is ...... The only thing that limits me is the amount of cotton. ”

"Huh?"

"So, if Mr. Xu wants to gain my trust, the first thing is to think of shipping cotton to me, first ship cotton worth 10,000 taels of silver, the sooner the better, I can give Mr. Xu a thousand taels of silver in advance."

――――――――――Thanks for the dividing line――――――――――
