Five days after Xu Yuanzuo returned from Zhuli, Lu Fuzi arrived as scheduled. He was followed by a young man who was nearly thirty years old, and he didn't know if it was for the exam, and his chin was shaved clean - the examiner loved Nen, and there was no way to do it.

This young man didn't need to guess to know that it must be Lu Dingyuan, the only son of Lu Fuzi.

Behind the Lu father and son, there are two teenagers with small burdens, who are clear and delicate, and they look like they are only twelve or thirteen years old. Lu Fuzi introduced Lu Dingyuan, and pulled the two of them in front of Xu Yuanzuo: "Do you still have an impression of these two people?" ”

The two teenagers bowed and saluted, their faces full of anticipation.

"Huh." Xu Yuanzuo naturally couldn't think of it.

Lu Fuzi laughed and said: "These two have been classmates with you for three years, and you can't remember other people's faces." Lu Dingyuan and Luo Zhenquan on the side all laughed together.

Xu Yuanzuo gently tapped the corner of his forehead: "This can't be helped, I'm far away from these little friends." ”

The school has one class for one person, the younger ones are in the front, the older ones are in the back, and Xu Yuanzuo, who is old and stupid, has been sitting in the corner. If it weren't for the five taels of silver, the master would not have taken care of him.

Lu Fuzi smiled: "I brought these two people over for the exam today." ”

Xu Yuanzuo guessed the same thing. Looking at Lu Fuzi's attitude, he said that it was an exam, not a recommendation, so it can be seen that neither of these two gave Lu Fuzi benefits. Then Lu Fuzi came to ask for directions, wanting to see if Xu Yuanzuo could fulfill his promise of "the more the merrier" at the school that day.

"These two junior brothers must not be bad." Xu Yuanzuo looked at the two of them affectionately and said, "I don't know what kind of Cheng dù I learned?" ”

"Three hundred thousand have been read through, and the Analects can be read roughly." Lu Fuzi said.

Xu Yuanzuo saw that the two of them were twelve or thirteen years old and about the same age as his younger brother Liangzuo, maybe they were still Liangzuo's friends, and their reading progress had also reached the "Analects", which was far faster than he was back then. I don't know how high or low it is compared to Ryosa, but it's definitely not bad. If such a talent is hard work, he should be qualified to fight for fame, but he was sent here.

"Is it because the family wants them to apprentice earlier?" Xu Yuanzuo asked Lu Fuzi.

Lu Fuzi nodded and said: "I also see that their qualifications are acceptable, and if they study hard for seven or eight years, they may not be able to fight for a living." However, the adults in their family still counted on them to apprentice earlier and become buddies. As for reading, literacy is enough. ”

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the two of them without regrets, and said: "You can learn to make a living economically, but the matter of reading can't be wasted." We work during the day and read at night. The two of you are not in a hurry to take the exam, so let's stay for three days first, see the real situation here, and then decide whether to take the exam or not. ”

In the past three days, Xu Yuanzuo naturally had to observe their conduct and habits, if their conduct was bad, the exam would be a male pass guarded by an iron general. If you can adjust it, the exam is just a formality.

The two thanked Xu Yuanzuo quite politely and stepped aside.

Xu Yuanzuo was going to talk to Lu Fuzi about selling cloth in the coming year, and he didn't need so many listeners, so he motioned to Luo Zhenquan to lead them down and settle down first.

"Master, brother, I have prepared the deed to pick up the goods from the bank, and come with me." Xu Yuanzuo took the two to the small conference room, asked them to sit widely, and went to the dormitory to get the deed signed by Xu Sheng.

Lu Fuzi and Lu Dingyuan are also people who have seen a little bit of the world, they don't squint when they come here, every time they sweep the furnishings on the shelves, they will stir up waves in their hearts, and they can't bear to take a look, so as not to lose their identity.

Lu Dingyuan's concentration was poor, and as soon as Xu Yuanzuo left, he approached to watch, and sighed: "This is all porcelain from the official kiln." ”

"Shh Lu Fuzi frowned and reprimanded: "Why are you so shallow?!" Shame on you! He himself couldn't pull out his eyes after looking at a few of Tang Bohu's real works, there is no vanity under the fame of the secret road, Tang Bohu can have such a name, it is really extraordinary.

Lu Dingyuan was drunk by his father, so he returned to the chair, looked around, and said, "Father, you student is really extravagant!" ”

"This is a response to the fact that people should not be disfigured." Lu Fuzi sighed: "Seeing that he was reading in a mess, I didn't expect that once he came out to do things, he would be like a fish in water." ”

"If you take hundreds or thousands of goods this time, you can make a lot of money by going to Nanjing." Lu Dingyuan said with a smile.

"As for how to go, listen to Yuan Zuo's arrangement." Although Lu Fuzi does not do business, he knows a lot of people. He knows the roots of Xu Yuanzuo's family, isn't Xu He also his student? So he knew that Xu He had gone far and had been going all the way to Xi'an. Ordinary businessmen go to Nanjing and Yangzhou, which are relatively close places, and then change hands, he goes so far, and the benefits are naturally more.

Lu Dingyuan knew the meaning of his words, and said with some disdain: "It's better to go to Yangzhou, Nanjing...... Or Zhenjiang. I also know a little about his father, saying that he went to Xi'an, but the silver he brought back was not as much as that transferred to Yangzhou, so what effort did it take? ”

"There are so many businessmen in Songjiang, some of them sit on the ground to sell goods, some go to Nanjing, some go to Yangzhou, and then go to Linqing ...... Why didn't they go to Xi'an? Lu Fuzi asked coldly.

Xi'an was Chang'an and Yongzhou before Hongwu, Jingzhao Mansion was set up in the Song Dynasty, and Yuan was Anxi Wangfu and Fengyuan Road. Not to mention the Han and Jin dynasties, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was simply a legend, almost equal to the center of the world. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin also thought about moving the capital to Chang'an, but his subordinates opposed it before he gave up.

In the second year of Hongwu, the general Xu Da marched into Fengyuan Road, which was renamed Xi'an. In the third year of Hongwu, Xi'an was the fief of Zhu Zhang, the second son of Taizu, and it was the Qin Kingdom. In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the crown prince Zhu Biao toured the west and moved the capital to Xi'an, but because of his early death, no one mentioned this matter anymore.

The Ming Dynasty took the nine sides as the important town, and Shaanxi Province accounted for the four sides. As the heart of Shaanxi, Xi'an is naturally respected, and it is the hub of the Jin and Shaanxi merchants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the base camp - now the Jin and Shaanxi merchants are still fighting against the Jin merchants and the Shaanxi merchants, and it is still 50 years later from the days when the Jin merchants were dominant.

Other commercial goods need to change hands layer by layer to get from Songjiang to Xi'an, and there are people in each link in the middle who want to share some profits. If it is transported directly from Songjiang to Xi'an, those middlemen are eliminated, and the benefits will naturally be several times greater.

Hiring a porter and finding a guide is something that anyone can do, so why does the whole Songjiang do it? Could it be that Xu He has superhuman vision? No! Rather than saying that, it is better to say: Could it be that the merchants of Songjiang Mansion are all stupid and sweet?

"This ......" Lu Dingyuan was looking for words, but he heard footsteps outside, and Xu Yuanzuo had already returned.

Xu Yuanzuo pushed the door in: "Tired master and brother Shi have been waiting for a long time. He took out a stack of deeds: "These deeds were signed by Xu Sheng, and there are also signatures of Chinese people." As long as the world brother is paid, it is. ”

Lu Dingyuan couldn't help but smile, and was about to reach out to take it.

Xu Yuanzuo stuffed another stack and said with a smile: "But Brother Shi still signed this internal deed with Jia Yan first." ”

Just kidding, how can there only be a contract between the Lu family and Xu Sheng? Didn't Xu Yuanzuo kick himself out of the game in that case?

Lu Dingyuan is just a signboard cover, and outsiders can only find out that he has business dealings with Xu Sheng, but they can't find Xu Yuanzuo from Lu Dingyuan. As the minimum business rules, this kind of listing cannot be relied on alone, but must be bound by a deed, which is the contract that Xu He wants to sign with Lu Dingyuan.

Lu Dingyuan took the contract and read it carefully, and said secretly in his heart: This kid is shrewd, hey, he should have said it earlier! In previous years, this deed was checked by the lady, but I never cared about it......

Xu Yuanzuo saw Lu Dingyuan's brows furrowed, but he didn't know that it was because he didn't know how to write and just thought that the conditions were not preferential enough, and the smile on his face turned cold, and said: "Brother Shi, this time you are tired of going through, although only one percent of the net benefit is for you, but counting the money for customs clearance, the money for pressing goods, and the amount of food and drink, it is no less than three percent in terms of gross profit." ”

Xu Yuanzuo looked at Master Lu: "Master knows, it's not easy for us to get the goods, let's go around to share the profits, and my family will be able to get a thirty percent." ”

Lu Fuzi knew that the final net profit would be divided into one percent to Xu Cheng, if one percent of the net profit was equal to three percent of the gross profit, then it would be equal to three percent of each of the three families, and the remaining one percent would definitely be given to Xu Sheng, otherwise why would people be willing to give it to you cheaply?

The most important thing is that the Lu family is just contributing people, and they don't need to pay money!

Lu Fuzi glared at his son: "Do things coolly!" There is no place for people to underestimate your bearing. ”

Lu Dingyuan gritted his teeth, put the deed book down, and pretended to be bold: "Am I still afraid that my junior brother will harm me?" And bring a pen. As he spoke, he took out his private seal, looked at the front and back, and stamped it.
