When Xu Yuanzuo left, Xu's mother and younger brother sent him to the outer harbor wharf. Yesterday's recruitment of hired workers was in an uproar, and in the morning many boatmen from the surrounding villages and towns came over, one to see the excitement, and the other to hold business. From this point of view, the commercial atmosphere of Jiangnan has reached a vigorous stage, just waiting for an opportunity for it to be sublimated.

In the end, twenty-nine teenagers with luggage on their backs stood on the dock waiting for Xu Yuanzuo. The adults in the family stood on the periphery, just watching, and there was no other meaning. This is probably also because there are many children in the family, and it is good to be able to go out, and Xia Wei and Zhuli are only one hour away from the waterway, which can almost be regarded as "at the door of the house".

Xu Yuanzuo was worried that it would be difficult to arrange accommodation in the past, I am afraid that there will not be so many bedding, and someone will definitely be frozen at night. Who knows that people in this era have been accustomed to bringing their own bedding when they go out, and everyone has a big burden behind them, carrying a small burden in their hands, from changing clothes to basins and chopsticks.

Xu Yuanzuo stepped forward and took the roll call, all of whom had taken the exam yesterday. Families who don't have exams need to be vouched, and with the livelihood of the whole family at stake, one night is not enough for them to discuss the results.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't hire a big boat, but only said to Lu Dayou, Gu Shuisheng and Jiang Baili: "Let's go in four boats, the three of you each bring a boat, it's an hour to go to the waterway, wait for the boat, you should think about what to tell me." ”

Among the three, Gu Shuisheng was quite smart, and nodded solemnly. Jiang Baili also understood quickly, only Lu Dayou was still a little ignorant.

While Xu Yuanzuo hired a boat, he separated the teenagers who were standing close to him in different boats. He told the boatman where it was, and then asked the three men to take the boat out in turn, and he took the last boat himself.

Xu Mu and Xu Liangzuo stood on the pier, watching Xu Yuanzuo's boat turn around the bend of the river before going back. The other parents who came to see them off also dispersed, and only a few who were idle and had nothing to do chatted with the boatman about the events that had happened in Zhuri yesterday, still with excitement.

Many of the teenagers on the boat were so far away from home for the first time, and they couldn't see the familiar Zhuri and their parents when they looked back, which made them nervous and frightened. At this time, a person in each boat began to talk to them and ask about the situation at home. The barriers between each other were quickly broken down and warmed up.

Xu Yuanzuo has studied abroad and knows the plot of the township party. Especially in this era, the so-called people are cheap when they leave their hometowns, and everyone who goes out has a kind of worry that they will be bullied, so they are especially grouped. Songjiang Chengxiang is also the place where the Liangguang Guild Hall, the Fujian Guild Hall, the Huizhou Guild Hall and other fellow villagers gather.

Talking and chatting along the way, when Xia Wei got off the boat, the temporary management of Lu Dayou, Gu Shuisheng and Jiang Baili had also been produced.

Xu Yuanzuo is naturally the undisputed leader of these twenty-nine people.

Luo Zhenquan was waiting for Xu Yuanzuo to come back early in the morning, and when he saw that he had brought so many people back, he was pleasantly surprised: "Yuanzuo, you brought so many people here!" There is enough in the garden! ”

Xu Yuanzuo was noncommittal, and introduced Luo Zhenquan to everyone and said: "This is my assistant, surnamed Luo, you can call Brother Luo in the future, and you can also call Assistant Luo." ”

Luo Zhenquan was stunned for a moment, and said secretly: Assistant? That sounds like an official title.

Lu Dayou, Gu Shuisheng and Jiang Baili thought that they were closest to Xu Yuanzuo, but they didn't expect that there was an "assistant" here. Although it is the first time to hear such a high-end title, it has obviously aroused their competitive hearts.

"Assistant Luo, there is a lot in Xialu." "Gu Shuisheng." "Jiang Baili". The three of them reported their homes one after another, and they did not lose momentum.

Luo Zhenquan is thirty or forty years old, and he doesn't regard the three and a half sons as opponents, and says with a smile: "Yes, it's quite spirited." ”

Xu Yuanzuo turned around and clapped his hands: "Everyone, follow Assistant Luo to put things away first, and then gather at my door." He said to Luo Zhenquan: "Let them clean the two rooms by themselves, find some wooden boards, door panels, and build a bed with bricks first." ”

"Don't be afraid, there are sales in Litahui." Luo Zhenquan said and paused: "You won't be reluctant to give up that bit of silver, right?" ”

Xu Yuanzuo was laughed angrily: "Buy, buy, buy." ”

Luo Zhenquan is a person with legion attributes and likes to live a swarm of bees. Over the years, I have been mixed at the bottom of society, I don't socialize with people much, and I have long been lonely. Now twenty or thirty people suddenly poured into the garden, and he could not help but be greatly excited.

Xu Yuanzuo was just the opposite of him. He was a man who was used to loneliness. Although as a successful person, there is never a shortage of people around him, but there are not many people who can keep up with his train of thought. Since he started his own business and led the team, he has learned to hide his true psychology and show it to outsiders in the most appropriate way.

After arranging things, Xu Yuanzuo returned to his dormitory in the back wing, and his sister quickly brought him hot water, asked him to wash his face and hands, and asked about the situation at home.

Xu Yuanzuo naturally said that there was no problem at home, but it was not suitable for his sister to go back. Sister Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard this, no matter what, Xia Wei was more comfortable here, and there was money to take.

After another moment, Luo Zhenquan came in to deliver the silver taels, and the two of them made a statement of yesterday's expenses, which can be regarded as returning the park management bank to the right path.

"That's right, Motozo." Luo Zhenquan said: "Today, a steward of the Qi family came and asked about the deposit of silver. He said that their family had 500 taels of silver deposited in the Xu family's cloth shop, and whether they could not have silver and just turn the silver around. ”

"No problem." Xu Yuanzuo agreed: "In this way, we avoid the loss of money, only better." ”

"But his family's silver has not expired yet, and it will not be taken until the winter solstice this year." Luo Zhenquan said: "If he rotates now, there will be no interest, so I asked if we can calculate that interest together." ”

Xu Yuanzuo changed his posture and said, "What is the foundation of this Qi family?" I still care about the little money. ”

Five hundred taels of silver are deposited in the Xu family cloth store for a year, but the fruits of fifteen taels of silver are not enough, which is dispensable silver for large families. If you really care so much, it can only be said that this family is not as powerful as it seems, or it is too stingy.

Luo Zhenquan said: "It's not necessarily that the Qi family cares, but the person in charge cares." What the head of the family commands, the people below always have to find a way to find some benefits for themselves. ”

Xu Yuanzuo patted his forehead lightly: "I forgot about this stubble." ”

The social atmosphere of the Ming generation is the least "clear" word. Because Emperor Taizu set a salary for the officials that was only enough to satisfy their stomachs, these officials naturally wanted to make some extra money by gray means. If this extra money can be taken without harming nature, it is enough to be called an "incorruptible official".

The upward and downward effects are like this in the officialdom, and the same is true for the people's customs. When the master orders things to be done, the stewards and servants below will find a profitable space to complete the task and earn more income at the same time. Of course, the master also knows, as long as the matter is done properly and does not hurt the face of the master's family, he will not care, otherwise it will not sound good to end up with the name of a slave.

Xu Yuanzuo still prefers to do the money on the bright side.

"No problem, you pick a kid who runs errands to go to Qi's house to make an appointment with the manager, ask him when he is free, and go to the cloth shop to do an acceptance together." Xu Yuanzuo said: "Although these teenagers are young, they are all literate and have some knowledge. Don't be afraid to smash your errands, and tell them to do the little things. ”

Luo Zhenquan said: "I can save it." ”

Although Xu Yuanzuo didn't stay in Zhuli for a long time, the previous owner of the body didn't leave too useful information. However, after a brief contact, I found that Zhuli is a business place after all, and children can accept the most simple business common sense when they listen to their parents and neighbors chatting since they were children.

Just as peasant children can distinguish rice and wheat at a very young age, these young people in Zhuli can also talk about Songjiang cloth, Weitang yarn, Huzhou silk, Suzhou workers, and all kinds of commercial specialties. There are even a few teenagers who can tell the approximate location of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, which is already a very remarkable thing.
