Liu Xu looked proudly at the crazy scholars in front of him, sure enough, no matter how ancient or modern, no matter how high or low, no matter whether they are virtuous or unscrupulous, as long as there are interests, as long as there is desire, it is possible to be instigated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He turned his head to look at Liu Ruyi beside him again, this mediocre-looking young man with average talent is a rare sober person here, he is not as eager for fame and fortune as ordinary people. It's just that Liu Ruyi also has desires, although his desires are relatively noble, and he wants to let ordinary people live a good life, but as long as he has desires, no matter how noble or low you are, you will be manipulated by your buddies.

Placing a small stone under the boulder called Desire, and gently prying it with a crowbar can burst out with a huge amount of energy that can change the world.

This stone is called Shishi; This crowbar is called wisdom.

"Very good, since everyone has this kind of momentum, our big things will definitely be successful!" Liu Xu said in a majestic voice that this was the time to establish his authority, and he would never let people share this right to give orders with him.

Fortunately, he had already said in advance that he would be the main one, and the other three did not interject to object.

"According to my estimate, the emperor will take action against the eunuchs by the end of October at the latest, if we are slow, this matter will not be our share! So, without further ado, let's start tomorrow morning, today we pack up our luggage, contact the trustworthy students, and then we will divide into four roads, and rush to Songjiang Fuxue, Huating County School, Shanghai County School, Jinshan Weixue, and encourage the local scholars to join us, and all the expenses will be borne by the four of my brothers! ”

The scholars dispersed in twos and threes, and they were in a group of three and a group of five, enthusiastically discussing the great cause that was about to be carried out, and exchanging with each other how to deal with the eunuch party in order to arouse the greatest repercussions and make their reputation spread in all directions.

Liu Xu took a sip of the tea sent by the servant to moisten his throat, smiled at Liu Ruyi, who had not left, and said, "Brother Liu, thanks to you today, otherwise everyone's response would definitely not be so enthusiastic." ”

Liu Ruyi shook his head slightly: "I'm actually useless, I see that you act in response to each other, and you have already made a plan, at most I can be regarded as pushing the boat with the water, and it is by no means a charcoal in the snow." ”

"Don't say that, we will be comrades of the Jimin Party in the future, comrades, like-minded, let's work together to keep all living beings and the general public fed and clothed!"

Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Liu Xu to remember what he had said before, and then, he smiled happily: "Okay, we are comrades, let me Liu Ruyi assist you and see how far you can go!" ”

Li Fengtian, who was eye-catching, didn't leave, he saw that Liu Xu finished speaking, and immediately walked over and arched his hand: "Brother Liu's talent, I admire it, just a few words actually made these scholars boiling, if it weren't for Zhang Yi's rebirth, Su Qin was alive, who could do this?" ”

"Brother Li has won the award, I am just a guide due to the situation, this eunuch party has plagued the country and the people, it has been a long time, Jiangnan students have a difficult life, and they have long been dissatisfied, I linked these two things, to lure them, to provoke them with righteousness, naturally as Mencius said, 'the sky is oily and cloudy, and it rains, then Miao Boran is prosperous. If it is so, who can resist it'. Liu Xu gave his words, and he explained the truth of the matter in a few words, and he was not afraid to say that he had used means, which made Li Fengtian even more convinced.

"Just now Brother Liu said that he wanted to follow Brother Liu to do a career, in fact, looking at Brother Liu's actions today, who doesn't know that Brother Liu is definitely not a thing in the pool? In Xia Li Fengtian, although reading and writing are general, but since he was a child, he has been doing business at home, and he has learned the method of accounting with his father and brother, and has a little experience in managing money and food. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xu's eyes lit up, he himself does not know how to do accounting and bookkeeping, but to do great things, there must be no lack of logistics personnel, Liu Bang assessed the founding of the country, and Xiao He was rated first, which shows the value of this logistics. It's just how to investigate this Li Fengtian's ability?

However, Liu Xu is a fox who has accumulated years after all, and immediately thought of a solution: "Brother Li came just in time, I really don't know anything about this food and money, and there is a difficult matter right now, so I ask Brother Li to give me advice." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Brother Liu, please speak." Li Fengtian suppressed the excitement in his heart, this is to examine himself, if he can perform well, he will naturally have a worry-free future in the future. He has been studying since he was a child, and he has not yet made a name for himself when he is nearly thirty years old, so he attaches great importance to this opportunity, and in just a few breaths, a few drops of sweat have already appeared on the tip of his nose.

Liu Xu clapped his hands and called for forty servants to come in. There are not only loyal and reliable sons sent by Chen Pei'er to herself, but also domestic servants brought by the three of them: "I plan to let these people go deep into the countryside and spend money to hire some farmers to strengthen my reputation, but the younger brother has been pampered since he was a child, and he really doesn't know anything about the price of manpower, and there are poor and rich in this village, and the uniform price is really miserable, and it is difficult to communicate with each other in the countryside, I don't know if Brother Li has a magic way to let me spend the least money and hire the most people?" ”

When Li Fengtian heard this, he thought for a while and immediately replied. In fact, his brain was not so fast, but he had seen someone use a similar method before, so he changed it on the spot: "Brother Liu is a person who does big things, of course he won't pay attention to these small things." However, the ruler is short and the inch is long, and the younger brother has a way. ”

"Please!"

"To do this kind of big thing, it must be that the more people there are, the greater the momentum, and the price of manpower in the countryside is different, but to hire them for a month, take care of food and housing, as long as one person gives half a penny of silver first! If you want to spend less money and hire more people, you have to divide them into twenty groups, and give twenty taels of silver to each group, and recruit at least two hundred men in each group, otherwise you will be fined twenty taels of silver. If there are more than 200 people, the three groups with the least number of recruits will be fined ten taels of silver, five taels, and three taels in turn. ”

"Good, good!" Liu Xu and the four of them applauded together, this Li Fengtian is worthy of being born in a merchant family, and he actually speculated on people's hearts and systems so subtlely, under the encouragement of fines and rewards, I think these servants don't dare to be lazy and slippery, and miss a big thing.

"Oh, today I have agitated nearly 200 scholars, and I am not excited about it, because these people only have interests in their eyes, and they have little ability and temper. But today, let me get Brother Li and Brother Liu, how can I not succeed in a big thing, and how can the eunuch party not be destroyed? Liu Xu made an excited look and shouted loudly: "Liu An, go to the best restaurant in the county to set up a table of wine and food, a few of us are going to drink and talk about the country today!" ”

If there is anything in the Ming Dynasty that satisfies Liu Xu, it is that the Ming Dynasty has plenty of meat. In 1613 (the 41st year of Wanli), Zeng Dezhao, a missionary from Portugal, was amazed by the abundance of meat in the Ming Empire, and he recorded in the "Chronicles of Great China" that "in all places, even small villages and towns, there is plenty of meat", while Mendoza, a neighbor of Portugal from Spain, also wrote in the "History of the Great Chinese Empire": "In the center of the table is neatly placed food, with all kinds of meat, chicken, and fish. On the rest of the tables, even if there were twenty sheets, they had a large number of various kinds of food, all raw, such as steers, ducks, ducks, hens, and bacon...... Legs, and a lot of other things. These are placed on the table until the end of the banquet and the departure of the guests. At this time, the servant of the host of the feast gathered up the raw food, delivered it to the guest's house or dwelling before the guest, and placed it there ceremoniously. ”

"If Lao Tzu doesn't go to the South Seas or Taiwan Island, he really can't let the Manchu Qing Dynasty enter the Central Plains, otherwise when this 'chaff is scarce and prosperous' comes, Lao Tzu won't be able to eat meat?"

Thinking of this, Liu Xu smiled dumbly, "If Lao Tzu really changed history, will future generations of historians get into disputes because they argue about whether Lao Tzu resisted the Qing Dynasty because he ate meat?" ”

The so-called "all the blessings in the world, but Wu Yue Kou Fu", although it is a little disrespectful to famous dishes such as Sichuan cuisine and Lu cuisine, but at least it also shows that the food industry in this Wuyue land is extremely developed.

Although Qingpu is only a small county, Songjiang Mansion is rich in the world, and there is absolutely no shortage of these various enjoyments.

A few people rushed to the county's largest Furulou with a large team of servants, the store had already been waiting at the door of the restaurant, and when they saw Liu Xu getting off the car, they immediately flattered: "A few masters come to the small shop, the small shop is really full of brilliance, if a few people are satisfied with the food, they can leave one or two ink treasures, that is the blessing of the small previous life!" ”

Liu Xu had already regarded himself as the leader of the crowd, and he looked at Furu Building, which is a typical Jiangnan Chinese restaurant, with a large patio in the building, which is furnished with ornamental potted plants and stone tables and stone benches in the open air, and can also be used as a performance venue if there is a performance competition. The outer building is five storeys high, with a high foundation and double eaves, with large intervals between each floor, and sunlight shining down from the sky, giving the restaurant excellent lighting. The whole wine is black tiles and red walls, the white windows are painted, and the inside and outside are clean and tidy, showing the business characteristics of the hard-working and industrious merchants of the Han family. Liu Xu felt relieved for a while, and replied with a smile: "You have an eye for this store, and I know that several of us have extraordinary backgrounds, so you instruct the kitchen to tidy up and make some good dishes, if you are happy to eat, I can't say that I want to ask you to leave something!" ”

Several people came to the highest floor, this floor is almost the highest place in the county, looking at it from afar, you can even see the green mountains in the distance, and you can see the sky and water in the distance, the scenery is excellent, it is refreshing.

Under the ingenuity of the chef, various names came into being, such as sugar entanglements, large cake ingots, cluster plates, illustrations, sticky fruits, high tops, and lion people, with a wide variety of types, which make people feel dizzy. In order to show their skills, the shopkeeper asked the guys to put all kinds of fresh fruits on the gold and silver utensils layer by layer, and they were stacked seven or eight layers high.

"This human being is really poor and luxurious for enjoyment, isn't this the red wine waterfall that is necessary for weddings later!" Liu Xu secretly sighed at the extravagant and corrupt atmosphere in Jiangnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and sighed secretly: "If buddies don't come to save you, just wait for you to be cleared for thousands of years." ”
