Early the next morning, Xu He got up and pulled the rope at the head of the bed, and the crisp sound of the bell came from outside.

This is the bell that summons his own little servant, and Xu He is wrong.

So Xu He changed it and tugged hard. After a while, the voice of the room attendant came from the door: "Guest officer, what are your orders?" ”

Xu He went over and opened the door: "Pour some hot water, I want to wash." ”

The waiter had already summed up the service content of these days, and quickly came over with half a bucket of hot water and poured it into the copper basin neatly. He politely asked Xu He about his request for breakfast, and when Xu He washed his face and rinsed his mouth, hot rice porridge and soft cakes were already placed on the round table outside.

Originally, at this time, Xu He should have hurried to inspect the goods. However, on his son's turf, he is not worried about the accident of the goods. Even secretly hope that something will happen...... In this way, you can educate the disobedient son who has no one in his eyes.

Just as Xu He just drank a mouthful of porridge, pinched the soft cake and put it in his mouth and was about to chew it, he heard a knock on the door, and someone shouted: "Brother Xu, your family Yuanzuo has won the county case!" ”

Xu He stiffened, let the soft cake cover his throat, and then a violent cough woke him up. He took three steps and two steps, rushed over and opened the door, only to see Chen Yizhi with a smile on his face, and his familiar neighbors standing at the door.

"Your family Yuanzuo has been hit by the head of the county!" The neighbor's eldest brother shouted enthusiastically.

Xu He's Adam's apple rolled: "Hit?" Case head! Just him...... I even hit the head of the case! ”

Chen Yizhi frowned slightly, but because of Xu He's identity, it was difficult to interject. Yesterday, he only said that Xu He was the guest of honor of Brother Yuan Zuo, but he had dinner with Xiao An in the evening, and after asking, he found out that it was Brother Yuan Zuo's father, so he naturally redoubled his flattery today.

"Really hit! News came from the county yesterday. The neighbor also heard the news. But convinced, he was even more excited than Xu He.

Xu He was finally the one who had passed the test, and he knew that he took out a few big money and rushed over overnight. Then, he really wanted to sort out his thoughts, but he always felt a mess in his heart.

Speaking of which, it should be a joy for a son to have a good future. But why do you feel a little blocked? It's true that I'm not open-minded. But jealousy of his own son is too much to say!

He was thinking about it when he heard the sound of firecrackers outside, so he got up and walked outside to take a look.

It turned out that the shopkeeper and the guys in the store were celebrating outside the door, and announced loudly: "The distinguished guest of our store, Xu Daguanren, Linglang High School, is the first in my county and county trial!" ”

Xu He's face was beating: The guest's son was hit by the case, and you are embarrassed to take it out and publicize it?

――But why do I feel light?

Just when Xu He's railing was entangled, the doors of several guest rooms on the second floor also opened, and some people dressed as merchants walked out, and they all exchanged their heads and ears, wanting to ask who was the father of the head of the case.

Originally, there were not many guests. As soon as the three or five people asked each other, the target naturally narrowed down to Xu He's head.

At that moment, someone stepped forward, smiled and saluted, reported to his home, and asked, "You are Xu Daguan, right?" ”

"It's just that." Xu He still has to maintain his image in front of outsiders.

"Congratulations, Ling Lang was able to win the first case, it can be seen that Your Excellency has a good way to teach your son!" The man laughed.

"Huh." Xu He laughed dryly.

"I would like to smell the magic recipe of the godson." The man was not a nuisance.

Xu He suddenly had a murderous face, and said fiercely: "It's just a fight!" Hit hard! If you don't obey, you will fight! If you don't endorse it, you will fight! Kill and regenerate! ”

The corners of the merchant twitched at the corner of his mouth. He laughed dryly twice and slowly retreated.

Xu He didn't know why. Suddenly, I felt a lot more relaxed, as if I really beat Xu Yuanzuo.

……

"Ahh

Xu Yuanzuo gently pressed his nose.

Luo Zhenquan turned his head sideways and said, "But you ran around in the cold?" I see that you always like to stand on the bow of the boat and eat the wind. ”

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head: "It's just that the nose is itchy, probably into the ashes." ”

Luo Zhenquan disagreed, muttered: "There is still gray ...... when I wipe it three times a day", and then buried himself in the struggle with his own cultural textbooks.

In order to take care of this old pirate's age, Xu Yuanzuo did not ask him to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he didn't even finish the three hundred thousand enlightenment textbooks. directly collected more than 100 of the most commonly used and simple characters for him, and asked Mei Chenggong to teach him to read and write. You only need to memorize ten words a day, and the accumulation is quite impressive.

At least Luo Zhenquan already feels that he has made great progress.

Xu Yuanzuo patted the book on the case, raising a cloud of dust.

These books include the art of preparing for exams, as well as business classics bought from bookstores.

Compared with. The Business Book is even more interesting.

During the Jiajing period, the commercial prosperity changed from quantitative to qualitative, and the social status of merchants rose again and again. And the Chinese businessman, who originally had a cultural worship, was unwilling to be lonely in writing business books in addition to making money. Most of these works are biased towards business ethics education, and old sayings such as "Tong Suo is not a bully" are full of them, and most of them are for the children of the family.

What makes Xu Yuanzuo find it very interesting is a set of practical books that have not yet been officially published: "A Unified Journey Map".

This set of books has a total of eight volumes, but after Mei Chenggong went to the bookstore, he visited all the bookstores in the county town by the way, and accidentally found a set of pirated copies - that is, the private edition engraved by the bookstore owner, and there was no version and author information.

The map part inside is very simple, almost a few lines, and as for the text part, it is also made of cheap wooden movable type. Because the ink is not viscous enough, many of the words are so faint that they are almost unrecognizable.

However, the idea of this set of books is still good, the author summarizes his life experience, and introduces in detail the starting and ending points of roads in various places, distances, walking difficulties, the names of water and land stations, accommodation conditions, property markets, social security, guild characteristics, sedan car prices, places of interest and so on.

Although it is only eight volumes, it is completely a Ming business encyclopedia, and even gives the layman an illusion: as long as I read this set of books and have enough goods, I can start a business.

Xu Yuanzuo read this set of books and consciously refreshed his understanding of the Ming Dynasty again.

And it's a refresh for the better.

Not to mention the historical data support of later generations, even businessmen with vision in the Hongji and Zhengde eras can see that the future is the world of commerce.

"When the engraving of my "Kindergarten Transcript" is completed, I will immediately start printing this set of books." Xu Yuanzuo beckoned Mei Chenggong to come over and arranged: "I may have to print more books later, you go to the account room to find Sister Wen Jing to ask for someone, and make a cost report for me together." ”

Luo Zhenquan raised his head: "Do you want to bring the Xu family's bookstore over?" ”

"The master sent me a message to take care of it." Xu Yuanzuo said: "I'm in Xia Wei now, it's rare to enter the city, it's inconvenient to manage, it's better to move it directly." ”

Xu Yuanzuo paused and said: "And I also had the idea of opening an independent bookstore before, but then I saw that it was not profitable...... Shallow eyes for a while, it's really a mouse's eye! ”

Luo Zhenquan looked embarrassed: "You don't have to say that about yourself, this is called self-indulgence, right?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head: "We must make a loud signboard, and the sooner the better." This thing is to lose money and make money, and you can't look at profits. ”

Luo Zhenquan turned around and asked in a low voice, "How much silver do you have?" (To be continued......)
