Xu Yuanzuo sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the snow-white rice paper unfolded, as if he was showing a documentary that had been cut to a mess. He saw the trajectory of his life from childhood to adulthood, saw the painstaking cultivation of his parents, saw his invincibility in the shopping mall with the halo of his father, and saw the covetousness of men and women in Vanity Fair for him...... Then I saw this all-natural world.

's emotional intelligence is higher than that of ordinary people, so that Xu Yuanzuo can quickly adapt to the unfamiliar environment and accept the sudden change of life in the maelstrom, but in his memories, he will still feel the hidden pain of a blunt knife cutting flesh.

Qi Miao yawned boredly, and when he saw that the ink on the inkstone had dried up again, he held a turtle-shaped celadon water and poured water, ready to grind another pool.

"Not yet." Xu Yuanzuo spoke up.

Qi Miao knew that Zuo Ge'er hadn't thought about it yet, so she silently stepped aside.

After a long time, Cha Cha's voice came from outside: "Brother Zuo, there is a request for a meeting named Cheng Zhongyuan." ”

Xu Yuanzuo raised his eyelids, took one last look at the rice paper on the table, and said loudly: "Let him in." ”

Cheng Zhongyuan walked in small steps, until he reached the door of Xu Yuanzuo's study, took a deep breath, spit it out again, and then opened the door curtain and stepped in.

"My nephew has seen my uncle!" Cheng Zhongyuan entered the study, only took two steps and bowed to the end, not daring to get up.

Xu Yuanzuo gently patted the armrest of the seat: "My own family, don't be polite." ”

Cheng Zhongyuan got up at this time, took two steps forward, and waited for Xu Yuanzuo to speak.

Xu Yuanzuo pointed to the square stool on the side: "Sit." I am close friends with your father, and since you call me uncle, you are your own person, so you don't need to be restrained. ”

Cheng Zhongyuan hung his head, only feeling that Xu Yuanzuo was much stronger than his father in terms of majesty. He was very ashamed to call Xu Yuanzuo his uncle before, but now he seems to take it for granted.

Xu Yuanzuo is indeed old enough to be his uncle. There's nothing awkward about me. He continued, "I heard that you have memorized the oracles of the ages? ”

"Please ask my uncle to take the school." Cheng Zhongyuan Road.

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head slowly: "Brother Bo Xi said that you can memorize it, I naturally believe it." What did you learn after reciting the oracles? ”

In the study of the legal profession in the Ming Dynasty, the basic order was the "Great Edict", "Huidian", "Collection of Laws and Regulations", "Punishment Regulations", and the holy oracles of the past dynasties.

Then there is the ministry rules of the dynasty. Part-time student of the Di newspaper. When asked the most basic question, Cheng Zhongyuan was much more relaxed: "Then I studied the judgments of various provinces and studied the official examples. ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded: "Don't you read the books "Clearing Grievances" and "Tangyin"? ”

Cheng Zhongyuan said: "A little dabbling." It's just that the Han family is passed down with money and food, and they are not good at it. ”

- If your father is here, he will be anxious about you again.

Xu Yuanzuo said secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said, "Can you write a submission now?" ”

Cheng Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Nephew, please give it a try." ”

Xu Yuanzuo stood up and said, "Come." Sit here. Write a submission on the topic of our gentry asking Huating County to retain the victims of the disaster and resettle 50 hectares of wasteland. Then with the title of telling the victims to live and resume business, write an article in the tone of the government. ”

Cheng Zhongyuan's scalp was numb: I haven't learned this yet! Isn't that embarrassing?

He just stood still, Xu Yuanzuo thought that this kid didn't dare to sit in his place, so he ordered Qi Miao to grind, and said to Cheng Zhongyuan: "You write here first, and tell me when you're done." "Considering that this kid has not been trained. So there is no time set, just let him write calmly. Xu Yuanzuo himself went out.

Cheng Zhongyuan sat down behind the bookcase, looking at the rice paper, his mind was blank, and it took a long time to try to recall the submissions and lists he had read.

This kind of official document is slightly less difficult to write than the imperial examination article, and the format requirements are not strict, but literary things are easy to learn and difficult to master. A master can write an official document so beautifully that it makes people read it with only one thought - it should be so. Novices who have never trained, even if they can barely squeeze out a few words, are very boring.

Xu Yuanzuo knew that Cheng Zhongyuan hadn't learned this yet. But he deliberately used this as a topic, not to embarrass him. It's about looking at his understanding, talent, and extracurricular skills. In terms of his own life experience, the real management and business knowledge are not learned from the classroom, but from the daily words of his parents.

People who only use the excuse that "the teacher didn't teach" and "haven't learned yet" are no longer expected to have poor learning ability.

Fortunately, although Cheng Zhongyuan has no extraordinary talent, he still has a family history, and he is also interested in reading his father's articles and manuscripts every day. Although the things written are very immature, and some places are not well thought out, they are finally within the scope of acceptance.

Xu Yuanzuo walked in his small courtyard for about a stick of incense, and Cheng Zhongyuan came out to ask his uncle to come in and read the papers.

The time of a stick of incense is neither long nor short, and the two official documents total more than 300 words, which is also decent.

"Although the flesh and blood are not abundant, the skeleton can stand." Xu Yuanzuo read it and commented.

Cheng Zhongyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuanzuo also breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the manpower gap is too big, if Cheng Zai's son is rotten and unbearable, it will be a waste of the relationship between them.

"Go back today and prepare a baggage. There should be one or two changes of clothes, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and one or two books to read. From tomorrow onwards, you study with me, a part-time secretary, and sometimes you go to other places just as you go, and you don't have the time to do your luggage. Xu Yuanzuo said.

Cheng Zhongyuan has been held back in Tang Xing, occasionally going to the county town, and hearing that there is a chance to come on a business trip to say go, his heart is happy.

"You will make a book in Renjudo and receive a clerk's salary." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Go back and talk to your father." ”

"Yes, uncle." Cheng Zhongyuan was even more happy in his heart, feeling that this uncle was really good, and he even directly offered a salary. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would like to let him be an apprentice for three or five years without money! As for whether Xu Yuanzuo himself can teach him things, Cheng Zhongyuan is not worried, people are in charge of the huge Renshoutang, how can they have no ability? The people around Zuo Ge'er, this itself is gilded.

Cheng Zai went home at night and listened to his son's report. I was also overjoyed in my heart, and even opened a jar of Taidiao, and made an exception to ask my son to accompany him for a drink. Now is the time to employ people, the hundreds of small accounts of the School of Economics every year are still in short supply, and the sooner you board the ship of Renshoutang, the greater the profit in the future.

Xu Yuanzuo is not so comfortable. He bitterly held back the jurisprudence ideas suitable for the Ming Dynasty, but failed. Several times I wanted to write down the concept of "equal subjects". However, he was worried that he would be too ahead of his time and be regarded as a heretic. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have a literal prison in the strict sense, the Taizhou School had been openly non-Confucian and non-sacred, and insulting the emperor would become popular in a few years, but Xu Yuanzuo was still a little too advanced when he thought about himself as an "equal subject".

- Hey, by the way, I still have a master who doesn't have a sense of existence!

Xu Yuanzuo finally thought of He Xinyin.

Although the master and apprentice had some differences in the concept of mind last time, He Xinyin also felt that this apprentice had gone too far. But look back. Isn't this the essence of the Taizhou School? Generation after generation is more radical until "everyone can be Yao Shun" without any obstacles.

In line with Wulun's view that friends are the sect, Xu Yuanzuo confidently and boldly wrote - in the civil field, all people are equal. All public offices, government offices, commercial houses, and gangs can be personified by law, and they are called legal persons. All legal persons and mortals are regarded as first-class, without dignity or inferiority. It is only based on righteousness, and the deed is proof. It's also combined. If the righteousness of a gentleman gathers; It is also a part, if a friend breaks off. Divide and combine at any time, and gather and disperse randomly.

If the commercial gang is only formulated as a legal person, so that legal persons and mortals (natural persons) enjoy the same civil rights and obligations, this may not be too deviant, and it can only be regarded as Taizhou Wang Xue, which makes people sigh slightly. However, it is necessary to make the government and even the public office equal to mortals. Wouldn't that imply that the emperor did not have superhuman privileges?

Xu Yuanzuo looked left and right, and suddenly found that he was still a fighter for democracy! I didn't find it for decades before, but now there is an emperor who is exposed when he presses it on the top of his head. This may be that the fish do not know that there is water in the water, and the society in the previous life at least emphasized equality in law - if someone Xi took Qingfeng's bun and did not give money, he would also stand in the dock as a mortal.

This thought notebook that was ahead of its time was written. Xu Yuanzuo only then remembered another question: Where is Teacher He now?

There is no delivery address!

So Xu Yuanzuo had no choice but to put this little note away, and when he had the opportunity to ask He Xinyin where he was hiding now.

Speaking of which He Xinyin is also wronged, he made the Cuihetang said that it was a tendency to have no government and openly resisted taxes, but in fact it was still a patriarchal society, and it just turned the blood patriarch into a "philosopher king". He emphasized that friends are the most righteous of the five virtues, but they can never get out of the trap of the father and son of the monarch and the minister. People scolded him for having no father and no king, and he had to defend himself at length, obviously not in his mind. Where is Xu Yuanzuo so neat and tidy!

Of course, in most of Xu Yuanzuo's living environment, there is neither the emperor pretending to be a saint, nor is it uncommon for father and son to go to court and sue the government.

"Brother Zuo, Mr. Mei sent a message just now, saying that the owner of Laiyuan Silk Store is going to charter an elegant gathering in Xiawei, please take the time to attend." Cha Cha brought tea into the study, and by the way, he presented Mei Chenggong's message to Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo had already put away the evidence of his "fatherless and no king", dropped a delicate copper lock on the sandalwood locket, played with the key, and said, "Why didn't he come in?" ”

"He said that he had to rush back to the company and the company first." Cha Cha stiffened her tongue and used Xu Yuanzuo's idiomatic vocabulary. In order to make Zuo Ge'er happy, she even secretly prepared a small book, wrote all kinds of strange words that she didn't understand, and reminded herself every day to show her face in front of Zuo Ge'er, and then threw it out.

As it is today.

Xu Yuanzuo knew that Mei Chenggong was very persevering, and sometimes he was almost stubborn, so he smiled: "This matter is not something that can be said casually. "I heard that the owner of Laiyuan has something at home and wants to sell the silk shop. So most of the elegant gatherings in this Xia Wei Xu Garden are not listening to music, but to talk about conditions.

In any business activity, before the decision-maker meets, there must always be a contact and temptation. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be for the two leaders to meet, only to find that there is no room for negotiation at all?

"If Brother Zuo'er has any orders, I'll just go for a run." Cha Cha hurriedly said. Although she doesn't have to do those dirty jobs now, she is still self-conscious, for fear that she will break away from Xu Yuanzuo's protection and become a rough maid again.

Xu Yuanzuo thought for a while and said, "I really want you to go on a trip and call Wang Laoshi." I'll see him tomorrow morning at the company's headquarters. ”

Cha Cha received the errand and was elated: "The slave will do it!" ”

When doing business in Jiangnan, silk can never be bypassed. Even if the Xu family is mainly engaged in cotton cloth, under the guiding ideology of making a fortune, they will also operate raw silk, but the focus is not on this. This is also because the Xu family is not rich enough, and when Xu Jie's career was made, the big cake of raw silk had been almost divided.

Even the cotton cloth of the Xu family has many high-end fabrics that use silk. This kind of silk cloth has a high cost and higher profits, and it is a popular high-end commodity, and it is also the main product of the Xu family's five stores in Beijing, and there is no margin to export overseas.

Xu Kun has a lot of means in spending money, but it is not good to make money, and the silk collected can be satisfied for his own use at home, and he has no idea of opening up the market at all. Xu Yuanzuo now has this convenience, how can he watch others make a fortune and drink some soup by himself? That's why he wants to hire external professional managers, and he doesn't rule out mergers and acquisitions of peer shops.

Wang Laoshi has been in Songjiang for so long, and he is even more anxious to see Xu Yuanzuo. Although everything went well in life, Xu Yuanzuo left him aside, which made him feel very unsteady after all. However, taking advantage of this time, he also went to the countryside to look around, and with a simple smile and generous hand, he, a guest who spoke a foreign dialect, was not too ostracized.

However, from Wang Laoshi's point of view, the people of Songjiang are really inferior to the people of Huzhou to raise silkworms. In the countryside of Huzhou, as long as there are two women, they must raise silkworms. Songjiang people are very lazy, and some families have a mother with two daughters, and they say that they can't raise them. There are so many mulberry leaves in Songjiang, but the trading of leaves is not as popular as in Huzhou, and there are not as many shops in Yexing as in Huzhou.

Thinking that the food eaten by Songjiang people is lighter than that of Huzhou, Wang Laoshi can't help but sigh, and often forgets what he eats just after eating.

After receiving Xu Yuanzuo's summons, Wang Laoshi sat on the small bench with his head bored for a long time, his fingers drawing circles on his thighs. Each circle has its own meaning, just like the "outline" written by the young man who has read the book.

It's rare to have the opportunity to meet Xu Xianggong, but you must not miss what you should say!

Wang honestly tilted his head, desperately hoping that the sky would brighten up as soon as possible.
