"Disciple Wang Xu, I have seen the teacher."

After not seeing him for a few months, Xue Mushan cleared a little, wearing a scribe's crown and a white moon Confucian robe, showing his high morality.

"In my absence, did you miss your homework?"

The first thing Xue Mushan did when he came back was to ask about Wang Xu's homework.

Wang Xu lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The disciple reads tirelessly every day, and he doesn't dare to slack off. ”

"Actually, why did I hear your little actions thousands of miles away? Let's talk about it, what's going on with the crystal beads of the Wang family, a bead actually costs a thousand taels, your Wang family is really magnanimous, you should soon change and become a family in the south of the Yangtze River, right? ”

Xue Mushan's tone was low, Wang Xu looked up, the teacher's expression was unpredictable, and he didn't know what his attitude was.

As for the crystal beads of 1,000 taels, he had heard that the purchase price of the crystal beads was 500 taels, and the suggested retail price was 800 taels.

Many merchants in counties are not satisfied with the price of 800 taels, thinking that the value of crystal beads is more than that, and they have raised the price, and a few places have sold a crystal bead to a sky-high price of 1,500 taels.

It's just that he couldn't figure out the teacher's attitude, so Wang Xu could only be cautious and respond with silence.

When Xue Mushan saw it, he snorted coldly and said, "These days, your business has been doing well, do you know, I have received hundreds of letters just from the Flying Eagle Mission."

These people, some of them are prefects of various places, some are imperial historians, some are relatives of the emperor, and some are the heads of the Jiangnan Shi clan, and they have asked me about your news.

Among them, the king of Huaiyang was even more straightforward, and asked me if I could share the crystal bead business with him. Today, Wan Guifei's Wan family also told me by name that he wanted to invest in your crystal bead business, and you told me, how should I answer? ”

When Wang Xu heard these words, he knew why his teacher was angry.

The Wang family is just a small family and can't be put on the stage.

These days, the business of crystal beads is smooth sailing, Wang Xu thought that no one noticed him, but he didn't expect that it was not that no one noticed, but that these people felt that his level was too shallow, so they directly found their teacher Xue Mushan, and disdained to deal with him, a little grasshopper.

Wang Xu was silent, not knowing whether to rejoice or not.

There is a teacher above him who is about to enter the cabinet, and he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and others will let him give him a few points.

If it weren't for this relationship, I'm afraid that the aforementioned King of Huaiyang, Uncle Wanguo, would have pounced on him and tore him apart like a hungry wolf.

These people don't do it, probably because they don't know what role Xue Mushan plays in it, or they simply think that the Wang family is the white glove pushed out by Xue Mushan.

With these people's thoughts, how could the Wang family, who was born in a poor rural area, make such a treasure as crystal beads.

"Let the teacher bother, the Wang family can find the crystal mine, but also thanks to the teacher's Hongfu, the disciple is willing to give the crystal mine thirty percent, no, forty percent of the benefits to the teacher, and ask the teacher to take care of it."

Wang Xu knew how much the crystal business was an eyesore, and he knew that with the strength of the Wang family, he would never be able to keep this belongings, and if he wanted to tide over the difficulties, the only way to get Xue Mushan into the chariot could he ensure that he was unimpeded.

Wang Xu is not disgusted with this kind of bribery, so he should find a protective umbrella for himself.

Umbrellas are still necessary, and in modern times, many polluting factories, large entertainment companies, and construction companies are inextricably linked to the officials.

In the 90s and the beginning of the 21st century, before the imperial court was not so strict, there were some heavyweight second generations who served as public relations ministers, vice presidents, legal persons and other high positions in large companies.

That is, the back is strictly controlled, and there is literally no trace of these people.

In fact, it's just from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, there should be a lot of things, otherwise who will escort you.

"What, you're here to fight the autumn wind?"

Hearing Wang Xu's answer, Xue Mushan was not only not happy, but reprimanded: "Don't use your crooked thoughts, you have to remember that Shinong, business, and commerce, reading is the most important thing, money is just something outside the body, as long as you read well, you have all these things." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Mushan paused again and added: "Do you know why the people in Shilin are all engaged in farming and studying, and few officials will encourage their disciples to do business?" ”

"The disciple doesn't know..."

"That's because in the eyes of officials, especially officials above the fifth grade, businessmen are just fat pigs, and when the pigs are fat, they will naturally be slaughtered. Back then, the miners of Datong Mansion were so majestic, and they were not killed by the newly appointed four-grade inspection envoys!

When you reach the level of the prefect, you know what money is outside the body, and if you have an official to do it, are you afraid that you will not have money? Your crystal beads, just hand it over to the next person to dot it, your main task now is to read, otherwise you will know later on, what is called a mirror. ”

Wang Xu responded again and again, but he didn't expect that the business of tens of millions of taels a year was nothing more than the same in Xue Mushan's eyes.

On second thought, that's true.

Wang Xu, a miner in Datong Mansion, heard Xue Mushan say that his strength is stronger than that of the current salt merchants, tea merchants, rice merchants, and ship merchants, and he is a private soldier.

When the house was raided, 500 billion taels of silver alone were copied, which was worthy of the land of Kyushu and the national tax of the imperial court for ten years.

Such a rich business alliance fell to the ground, killing people all over the place, which shows that rich people are really nothing in the eyes of the imperial court.

"The matter of crystal beads, I helped you block it, and the King of Huaiyang is nothing, a small vassal king, who can't turn up the wind and waves. It's Uncle Wanguo, I'm afraid there is some trouble, Concubine Wan is being favored these years, Uncle Wanguo is rising, even I have to give him three points. ”

Xue Mushan's tone was relaxed at first, but when he talked about Uncle Wanguo, his brows furrowed slightly.

When Wang Xu saw it, he knew that this Uncle Wanguo was probably not a simple person, at least a-stirring stick.

On the other hand, an imperial uncle can make a contemporary Confucian like Xue Mushan jealous of a second-grade member who is about to enter the cabinet, and Wang Xu is still very interested in him.

"Teacher, I see that you look good when you come back this time, are you going to enter the cabinet?"

Wang Xu took the initiative to speak, compared to the matter of Uncle Wanguo, Xue Mushan's entry into the cabinet is the current major event.

"What do you want to ask?"

Xue Mushan glared at him and said with a cold face: "Your mind should be on your studies, don't think about those useless things." I ask you, I've told you so much, what do you think? ”

Wang Xu knew that it was not good when he heard it, and he was afraid that there was something good about entering the cabinet.

Just looking at Xue Mushan's demeanor, he should be more happy, and I don't know where it is except for the change.

"Listen to your left ear, burst out of your right ear, I've told you so much, you don't feel it at all?" Seeing that Wang Xu didn't speak, Xue Mushan thought that he hadn't listened carefully, so he touched the ring ruler in his hand as he spoke.

Wang Xu hurriedly retracted his thoughts, knowing that if he didn't answer, he would be beaten, so he hurriedly spoke: "Listening to the teacher talk about the city's agriculture and industry, reading is the right way, as long as you read well, everything else is available, and the disciple does have some feelings." ”

"Say!!"

Xue Mushan took the ring ruler and looked at him with fierce eyes.

To be honest, when he heard that the Wang family was doing business and Wang Xu was coming out everywhere, Xue Mushan was already dissatisfied.

He knew that his apprentice had early wisdom and could not be compared with a child, so he was always worried that Wang Xu would give up his roots, so he rushed back in advance.

At this time, seeing Wang Xu's fugue for nine days, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he had secretly decided that if he didn't answer well this time, it would be indispensable to educate his disciples with sticks and bring them on the right track.

"Teacher, disciple has summarized your teachings into a poem based on my own thoughts."

Wang Xu didn't want to be beaten, and he knew what Xue Mushan wanted to hear, so he immediately said: "Rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of bells in the book." There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book..."

At the moment when the exit was completed, the literary atmosphere surged, and the vision was highlighted.

With a hissing roar, a carriage rushed out of the air and landed outside the window, turning into two golden horses pulling the golden carriage.

"The Manifestation of the Treasure of the Dao!"

When Xue Mushan saw it, his face was overjoyed, he turned his head to look at Wang Xu, and couldn't help but smile: "The son can be taught!" ”
