The Song people left a copy of "Ai Zi Miscellaneous Sayings", so there was an allusion to "a crab is not as good as a crab".

Xu Yuanzuo originally thought that Lu Fuzi was just a mediocre person, but when he met his brother Lu Dingyuan, he knew that Lu Fuzi was still a little mediocre among the mediocre people, and Lu Dingyuan was the real mediocre.

Of course, if Lu Dingyuan's mediocre level can score three points, then it is still far ahead of Xu He's zero score - because the reason why Xu He can score zero points is because he can't find a score lower than zero points.

In view of the fact that Lu Dingyuan was too unsightly, Xu Yuanzuo waited for him to sign and press his handprint, and as a matter of course, he put away the deed, which was called "unified custody".

Luo Zhenquan came in at the right time, in fact, it was also ordered by Xu Yuanzuo before. The father and son of the Lu family were not sure about the relationship between Luo Zhenquan and Xu Yuanzuo, and thought that he didn't know about the internal price distribution, so he naturally kept silent about the transaction just now. Xu Yuanzuo steered the topic away as he wished and told some stories about long-distance businessmen.

Although Lu Dingyuan ran to Yangzhou as far as possible, it was also a long distance, and he had a conversation for a while, and he talked endlessly. Xu Yuanzuo, of course, is not a person who is willing to waste time, and focused the topic on the issue of accommodation along the way.

"When you go out, the most important thing is to guard the goods." Lu Dingyuan also consciously reciprocated the peach, taught Xu Yuanzuo's experience, and was quite complacent: "There must be someone escorting the car when driving, and there must be someone on the boat to live, and you must not leave the goods half a step." He said: "Sometimes the ferry is unlucky, and you have to find an inn near the pier, and the goods must be marked to prevent theft." ”

"If the inn is clean, but it is more expensive, is there still a merchant to live in?" Luo Zhenquan asked casually for Xu Yuanzuo.

Lu Dingyuan relied on his relationship with Xu Yuanzuo's "brothers", and his status was higher than that of Luo Zhenquan, so he didn't have to pay attention to him, and said: "Where is there so much attention to staying in the hotel? Don't look at the new store is clean, but the people are not reliable. When you go out, you are most afraid of living in this kind of black store, and it is just a matter of losing your property, how can you harm your life? ”

Lu Fuzi stroked his beard and said: "Yuan Zuo, you don't go out much, the turmoil in the rivers and lakes is really terrifying, but you should listen to Ding Yuan." ”

Lu Dingyuan had his father's support, and regardless of Xu Yuanzuo's blank face, he continued: "And the new store is the most annoying. The store doesn't recognize the customers, if they don't check the road guide, they don't feel at ease, and the old people in Lijia Township can't talk about it. If you check carefully, it is inconvenient for us to wait for merchants, who is impatient to serve like that. ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that the Ming Dynasty's road guidance system, although not as strict as in the Tang and Song dynasties, would not allow the people to move freely.

"What's going on with Lu Yin?" Xu Yuanzuo asked this is a little surprising, because his father is the farthest merchant in Zhuli, has he never eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

However, Lu Dingyuan didn't say much, and explained: "The road guide is easy to do, as long as you take the household post to the county house, you can naturally do it." But you have to give some filial piety, otherwise it will not be beautiful after ten days and a half months. In fact, there are not so many things to do outside, and when you pass the banknote customs, you will occasionally have to check you, which is because you have less benefits, and you have made up for it.

"I usually live in an old store, and I am a familiar guest, so the store will naturally not check it. However, if you change your teeth, you must also prepare a guide or a household post for the first few times, otherwise you are afraid that they will see that you are not bullying you. ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed: "Then if someone brings it, you don't need to guide the road?" ”

"Of course, a child from a background like you doesn't need to do any guidance." Lu Dingyuan said as a matter of course: "As long as you walk with Ling Zun a few times, you will be recognized on the road, who still looks at your guide?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo knew that after Wanli was the period of the great collapse of various systems in the Ming Dynasty, he did not expect that the road introduction system had collapsed in Longqing. Now it's only the second year of Longqing, and I think the signs should be in Jiajing's early years, anyway, in the Ming novels in the background of Jiajing, I didn't see Lu Yin appear. However, it is also understandable why the commodity economy developed during the Long and Wan periods.

"The key is to have a familiar face, if you go to a new place, you must have an acquaintance. If it's a young child, it's okay, but if you bring a strong man over, someone will still check it. Especially in the years when there were troubles. Lu Dingyuan was also worried about his identity.

"Brother Shi can go to the county government to open a road, and the money will be withdrawn from me." Xu Yuanzuo said: "After all, it is better to be safe and sound and cause less trouble." ”

Lu Dingyuan said: "It's better to wait until I go back to see Ling Zun and see what he says." This opens the way to a small number of drinks, costing hundreds of dollars. ”

Xu Yuanzuo secretly scolded in his heart: mediocrity! There was a smile on his face: "More things are better than less, it just so happens that I also want to meet the officials in the yamen, and I am familiar with them." Brother Mo Ruoshi invited people to come, and the younger brother was the east, so that he could not only form favors, but also get things done, wouldn't it be better? ”

Lu Dingyuan looked at his father. Lu Fuzi cleared his throat and said, "This is not a matter. Now the county household book is my classmate of Mengxue, and he has made up for the students, and it is safe and secure to call out to have a meal in Taibai Building. What he said was naturally "getting married" and helping Xu Yuanzuo expand his connections, otherwise it would be too luxurious to just open the road.

Xu Yuanzuo calculated in his heart that the four-person banquet in Taibai Mansion would only cost five or seven dollars of silver at most, and after just eating a big household, it would not matter if it was less than one or two silver!

"There's a husband." Although Xu Yuanzuo thanked him, he didn't seem very excited.

When Lu Fuzi saw Xu Yuanzuo's attitude, he couldn't help but glance at it in his heart: Now this student has begun to ignore the officials.

Of course, this is a red flag, and once people are inflated, they will make mistakes, and often they will make big mistakes.

Lu Fuzi wanted to remind his proud student, but he thought that young people always have to suffer a little to have a long memory, and if Xu Yuanzuo didn't make mistakes, where would he have the opportunity to show his strength in front of him? It's better to let him go on his own, it's better to get dizzy in the future, crying and begging him.

Xu Yuanzuo is not nobody, but he just lacks intuitive understanding and experience of the energy of the officials.

Starting from Chengzu, the Ming Dynasty forbade officials to take the Jinshi examination. This is equivalent to cutting off the promotion path of the officials, so most of the officials and officials in the various houses of the yamen are inherited from families, and a small number of them are not the best talents who are added in.

Because the Ming Dynasty is to give quotas according to the province, Nanzhi Province takes 135 people in three years, and the cultural popularization rate of Nanzhi is high, the number of exams is large and the quality is high, it is too slim to be lifted, so it is also a good thing to be able to mix into the civil service as a student.

And Xu Yuanzuo also thought of a person, that is, Mr. Zhongjia Chen Shi said that the county respected the text, Li Wenming. Although he is an outsider, as the personal advisor of the county lord, his status is higher than that of the six-room scribe. Xu Yuanzuo weighed it and felt that he should first get in touch with this writer, and then contact the local snake in Huating County.

The reason is very simple, if this master has a good relationship with the county government scribes, everyone who sees him is the same, and they can even eat together; If there is a gap between them, then it is easier for the master to tell the truth to find allies, and the scribe, as a local native, does not necessarily value Xu Yuanzuo, a new little steward.

It's the same in terms of standing in line, when you see the master, you can go to the scribe, but after seeing the scribe, you can't go to the master. Because he offended his master, he was unlucky for three years at most; If you offend a scribe, it will not be easy for the rest of your life - unless you go far away.

After making up his mind, Xu Yuanzuo said: "I also want to ask the master to delay it a little, as the New Year is approaching, there are many people in the garden who come and go, and they can't come for a while." After the nineteenth and the Yamen sealed, I will probably be idle here. ”

Lu Fuzi nodded and said, "That's fine, let's come up again." ”
