Xu Yuanzuo visited Zheng Yue, so he naturally wanted to visit Xu Jie and Xu Fan. His current identity is very delicate, and he belongs to the people who come in or out of the Xu family. also because his control over the Xu family's industry has become stronger and stronger, so Xu Fan does not dare to mention the matter of "succession" again. Because as long as Xu Yuanzuo's name in the family tree is not under Xu Fan, he is not qualified to get involved in the Xu family's industry. And once he comes in, Xu Yuanchun obviously can't fight against Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Jie is still compiling books recently, because of the Spring Festival, Zhejiang Junjie has gone north, and the study hall is a lot deserted. It's strange to say, after there are fewer people, the progress has gone up, which shows that there are more people talking more, and the lack of management will only drag it back. Xu Yuanzuo went to say hello, helped flip through the book for a while, then said goodbye and went to see Xu Fan.

Xu Fan is the nominal person in charge of the Xu family's industry, socializing with the outside world, communicating with Jiangnan Shilin, ensuring the frequency of the Xu family's appearance in public affairs, and announcing a sense of existence, which is Xu Fan's main job. It is precisely because Xu Fan undertakes these affairs that Xu Yuanzuo can focus on more detailed talent reserves, business development, and strategic arrangements. The two are like the division of labor between the chairman and the general manager, Xu Fan paved the way for Xu Yuanzuo, Xu Yuanzuo made money for Xu Fan, and the cooperation was perfect.

Even if he repeatedly reminded himself not to get involved in business management, he heard that Xu Yuanzuo was going to Fujian and Guangdong when he collected autumn grain, Xu Fan was still very worried. When the summer tax was collected in the first half of the year, he had a feeling: If Xu Yuanzuo was in Huating, the income might be even higher.

Xu Yuanzuo said: "Father, rest assured, Renshoutang has already gained experience, and the rules and regulations have been formed, as long as you do things according to the rules, there will be no difference." ”

Renshoutang was a big tax payer before Xu Yuanzuo took over, but it didn't do much, so the income was not much. It's more like a business created to evade taxes for your own family.

After Xu Yuanzuo took over, Renshoutang really saw the windfall profits of collecting taxes, but last year he followed the county government secretary office and the tolerance to collect it, which was regarded as an apprenticeship. This year, Shoutang has been able to collect the summer grain silk tax without tolerance. According to Xu Yuanzuo's steady and steady layout, he will be able to further independently collect autumn grain in October and expand tax sources. Reduce dependence on the yamen. And the progress of this work depends entirely on Renshoutang's understanding of the ownership of Huating Tianmu. In other words, Renjutang had to produce a more accurate fish scale booklet.

"If I want to be in charge of everything, I'm afraid that my subordinates will exercise too little and rely too much." Xu Yuanzuo said. He is a person who keeps a close eye on weekdays, is open to things, and emphasizes summarizing and improving afterwards. He is not afraid of encountering problems, and it is impossible to hurt his muscles and bones if he loses some silver taels - just this time he made a big fuss in Sijing, and he gained five thousand taels from the courtyard of the Ai family. After Niu Dali took over the Silver Hook Gambling House, he also consciously gave five thousand taels.

Although Xu Fan can't accept this kind of rhetoric, judging from the results, no one can do better than Xu Yuanzuo - this may show that Xu Yuanzuo's sword method is quite incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"Fujian and Guangdong are too far away, so can't you find someone else?" Xu Fan frowned and said, "Besides, the sea route is dangerous, isn't it good to take the land route?" ”

- The land route is too much of a toss-up.

Xu Yuanzuo would rather take a boat, but the living space of the sea boat is more spacious. In addition, the facilities are better than those by land. As for the shipwreck that people are most afraid of, Xu Yuanzuo is not unaware. It's just that I can't raise my fear.

"Father, the heavens and the earth are like a chicken, and the earth and the sea are like egg yolks in the middle. Among them, the land and the sea are separated. Xu Yuanzuo said: "The bigger the share, the more benefits." The ocean is bigger than the land, so it is natural to focus on the ocean. If it weren't for the lack of means, I would have wanted to go up to heaven to see it. Speaking of which, the sky is bigger than the ocean. ”

In the era of land power, whoever has the best army has the final say; In the era of sea power, whoever has the strongest fleet has the final say; In the sky era, whoever has the advanced fighter has the final say; When we enter the age of space, who has developed aerospace technology. Who has the final say - they may even immigrate to the aliens themselves, and leave a heavily polluted and devastated earth for others to rob.

All in all, this idea is that where there is a broader one, you will go wherever you go, and if you lag behind, you will suffer. From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty is indeed lagging behind Europe, but it has not yet reached the point of being bullied.

"I also wanted to see how I could help my family go to a wider world." Xu Yuanzuo said.

Xu Fan was moved when he heard this. In his opinion, the sea is dangerous, and those who can be suppliers will never sail to become maritime merchants themselves. This was originally a safe and old-fashioned strategy, but Xu Yuanzuo brought a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers. Since he has said this, how can he persuade him as a father-in-law?

"Try to be prepared." Xu Fan said: "Since you are going to investigate, you don't need to think about commercial goods, try to use big ships to equip grain and vegetables, and often dock at the port, so as not to hurt your body." ”

Xu Yuanzuo acknowledged Xu Fan's affection and said, "My son understands. ”

"The doctor should bring it too, I heard that there is a miasma rampant over there." Xu Fan said again.

The miasma of the land of Fujian and Guangdong may be "nothing more than that" for the locals, especially the cities, which are basically not bothered. But for the northern provinces, the miasma has reached the point of demonization. In fact, even the southernmost Qiongzhou Mansion (Hainan Island) in Guangdong, which was still the place of death in the Song Dynasty, has now become a familiar land in ten counties in three states and tens of thousands of households, and the land around the island has basically been reclaimed. This is not the case in Qiongzhou, not to mention in a metropolis like Guangzhou, where Macau grape people come to trade every year – the Canton Fair has a long history.

Xu Yuanzuo is very solemn on this point: "My son invited ten famous doctors to accompany him this time, and he will hire some local famous doctors to accompany him when he arrives in Fujian." ”

Xu Fan laughed when he heard it: "You're too much." Useful doctors, two or three are enough. ”

"My son is going to Taiwan." After Xu Yuanzuo finished speaking, he suddenly thought that he was a little not rigorous enough: it was not until the Wanli period that the imperial court officially confirmed "Taiwan" as the official name. Now it should be called "chicken coop", "North Port", "Dayuan" and the like.

Xu Fan didn't have any concept about this, and even guessed: "Is it the outer island of Fujian where the Japanese are entrenched?" What are you doing there? ”

"Investigation." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Although it is said that they are widows, but those people also recognize money, as long as they can make money, they will not come nonsense." On the contrary, the plague is rampant there, malaria is rampant, and many diseases may not be cured. Bring more doctors, work together to see how to prevent and treat it, and in the future, the clan will also have a preparation for buying land and cultivating there. ”

Xu Fan smiled: "Have you bought all the land in Jiangnan?" I'm going to go to that kind of wild land to cultivate. According to what you said, it is inevitable that the high arch will go to the phase, as long as Zhang Jiangling ascends to the position of the first assistant, my family will not have to worry about it. ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "The main reason is that Jiangnan is not suitable for sugarcane growth. ”

"You're going to Taiwan to grow sugar cane?"

"Cane sugar is a sought-after commodity. The profits are extremely thick, and considering the hydrothermal soil required for its growth, Taiwan may be better than Fujian and Guangdong. Anyway, there are some pirates on Taiwan Island now, they only need a port, not land, and when will they not occupy it at this time? Xu Yuanzuo said.

Today, no one in Taiwan grows sugarcane, and Daming's sugar exports rely entirely on Guangdong and Fujian. The biggest difficulty in developing Taiwan is not the local headhunting natives, but various tropical diseases such as malaria. Xu Yuanzuo does not believe that Chinese medicine is omnipotent, but now there is no medical skill in China. There is no medical skill in the whole world! The Taoist priests have narrowed down the range of drugs that are effective against malaria to a certain extent, and how to use them can only be known through human trials.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Yuanzuo was thinking again: Do you want to bring Li Teng's alchemist? However, considering that Li Teng shoulders the heavy responsibility of physical and chemical enlightenment, it is better to bring more doctors to make up for it with quantity. Fortunately, the doctors of the Ming Dynasty were no longer pure traditional doctors like the Tang and Song dynasties. When the Mongols ruled Eurasia, Arab medicine also flowed into China, although it had little impact. But it brought new horizons to the doctors of the Ming Dynasty. Although there were legends of surgery and even craniotomy in the Huatuo era. However, it is no accident that the "Surgical Authenticity", which is classified into categories for surgical interpretation, appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Shigong, who has now written "Authentic Surgery", is only sixteen years old, and he is still in the learning stage, so he is obviously unreliable.

Xu Fan didn't know how hard it was to take just a few breaths, Xu Yuanzuo had already thought about so many things. He was still thinking about the issue of Taiwan's reclamation, and said: "You have also laid an industry in Liaodong. We are about to think about reclaiming Taiwan again, and this north and south are too far apart. ”

"Father, it is not difficult to reclaim Liaodong, as long as the silver is sprinkled, the population of Shandong can pour into Liaodong. It's only three or five years at most. However, Taiwan's land reclamation depends on human life and time to fill in. Even if you go to explore now, it will take at least five years to establish a village and establish a foothold. If you want to really cultivate sugarcane and make a profit by extracting sugar, I am afraid that it will take ten years. Xu Yuanzuo added: "If the means of production cannot be improved." ”

If a working steam engine could be built in ten years, even the oldest prototype of Watt, the technological advances would greatly increase the speed of reclamation.

The steam engine was another thing that made Xu Yuanzuo sigh. He didn't think that anyone with a science or engineering background could do a better job than he did, but if he brought a knowledgeable engineer with him when he crossed over, it would really solve a big problem. At least don't think about a term "multi-bloated" – what the hell is that.

Xu Fan felt that Xu Yuanzuo was really taking steps forward, step by step, making people feel like they would never be able to catch up. He knew that no one could change Xu Yuanzuo's mind, so he had to express his support. He thought for a while and said, "Jing Lian, now that the situation is getting bigger and bigger, and the benefits are getting higher and higher, what do you think?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "I don't know why my father suddenly said that." ”

Xu Fan said: "When Brother Chun'er comes back, it's time to start a family." At the beginning, I said that I wanted you to pass over, and now it seems that you can't be in a hurry, in the end, the high arch has not gone for a day, we can't relax for a day, and you have been a little publicized as a clan member. ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that Xu Fan was going to divide the property rights, so he listened quietly and did not speak.

Xu Fan continued: "In the past two years, I have only given you fifty taels of money per month, which is really a bit wronged by you. I thought, how about precipitating 20% of the shares directly from Renshoutang to you? ”

Xu Yuanzuo was a little embarrassed, and smiled shyly: Although the monthly salary given by the Xu family is not enough to mention, he is a fox and a tiger, and he earns a lot of silver taels. However, God will take it, and it will be blamed, Xu Fan's desire to give shares is a closer connection, and it seems too hypocritical to push hard.

That's an income of sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver a year!

Xu Yuanzuo said: "The father's mind and son naturally understand. However, this matter is easier said than done, and it depends on what the father means. ”

"Your father thinks it's too late to give it to you." Xu Fan smiled: "Is there still a shareholders' meeting over there in Renshoutang?" I remember that there was a right of first refusal in the constitution or something. ”

"At the same price, shareholders have the right of first refusal." Xu Yuanzuo said.

"Then you don't need to." Xu Fan said: "This is given to you by the family, and it is not for sale." ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled: "Thank you, father." ”

Xu Fan said: "You don't have to see outside. There is always a share of assets in the clan, and I think you can always find more money-making business. ”

Xu Yuanzuo pursed his lips and smiled: "My father has an overreputation. ”

Xu Yuanzuo is not very stammered with Renshoutang's shares. If he wants to buy shares, he can get equity at any time through a capital increase. But in this way, he picked himself out of the Xu family, which was equivalent to throwing the big flag of Xu Jie. Now that Xu Fan has taken the initiative to give away shares, it is different, Xu's banner can continue to be carried, and tens of thousands of taels of income can be increased every year, isn't it the best of both worlds?

Xu Yuanzuo didn't misread Xu Jie, Xu Fan, Xu Jie, Xu Fan, and Xu Yuanzuo didn't misread Xu Yuanzuo. As a reciprocat, Xu Yuanzuo presided over the Jiangnan Boat Company, the shops, docks, and Zhuangtian in Liaodong, all of which can be brought with the Xu family to play. Even if there is no eyebrow for the development of Taiwan, the Xu family will be tied to Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Fan gave away 20% of his Renshoutang shares, but in exchange for a closer connection with Xu Yuanzuo, it was also a deal that only made money and did not lose money.

Xu Yuanzuo estimated that if he didn't come to Xu's mansion, Xu Fan would also give him the shares before the autumn grain was levied. However, it is always good to come by yourself, and you can have a meeting with the people of Renshoutang before leaving, and at the same time give some hope to the managers below - you can get equity and become the real owner of Renshoutang if you work hard.

"Father, there is one more thing, I want to start it as soon as I come back from Fujian and Guangdong." Xu Yuanzuo said.

"What's the matter?"

"Establish the Cloud Medical School."

Xu Fan knew that this was a medical-related institution just by hearing the name, and couldn't help but say, "What is the use of this medical school after it is established?" ”

"Cultivate capable doctors and put an end to quacks." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Now doctors are all fathers and sons, and the poor can only endure unless they get alms." If there are more doctors, medical skills will be more widely disseminated, and the cost of medical treatment will be reduced, and the poor will naturally benefit more. Xu Yuanzuo said.

On the one hand, the Yunjian Guangji Association is to "launder money" for the Xu family, and on the other hand, it is also used to brush up reputation, and objectively it has promoted the civil assistance and infrastructure construction in Huating County.

Xu Fan doesn't mind this, the more good doctors there are, the more beneficial it is for his family. Today's atmosphere says: Parents who are in the hall and do not study medicine are unfilial. Seeing that Xu Jiejie is old, the establishment of a medical school is not only to give the Xu family prestige, but also to give Xu Fan a filial piety.
