Time flies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info in a flash, the past two years.

The imperial capital is still prosperous, and the business opportunities are unlimited. Countless people have come to the capital with the mentality of getting rich overnight, looking for opportunities to realize their dreams.

Some people succeed, and more often they fail.

Survival of the fittest in natural selection. The same is true for shopping malls, where the fittest survive and the weak survive. The prosperous imperial capital is like an endless sea, with huge waves sweeping the sand, cleaning up batches of losers, and all that can be left is the essence.

Fang Xiaobao obviously belongs to this list.

August is hot and humid. Only in the early morning can you appreciate the coolness that you have not experienced for a long time. At the top of the mountain, fruit trees stand with lush foliage and lush greenery. Some have just bloomed, attracting bees to fly and breathe in a pleasant fragrance. Some of them have already borne fruit, hanging in the lush branches and leaves, fruitful, and growing happily.

"Brother Biao, I've been standing on a stake for half a year, you should also teach some practical fighting skills!"

High walls and black tiles. A teenager's grumbling voice was heard from inside.

Looking closer, you can see that there is a villa inside the courtyard wall. The environment is elegant and the layout is exquisite. Flowers and trees, rockery fountains, all available.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a young man at this moment, shirtless, with his legs slightly bent and squatting, and he was walking on a horse.

This young man looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, not tall or short, fat and thin, and his body is very well-proportioned. Although his appearance is not related to the word 'handsome', he has a pair of big black thief eyes, revealing spirituality, which is unforgettable when you see it.

"Any fighting skill is always the same, and laying a good foundation is the key!"

Next to the young man, there was also a strong man, nearly two meters tall, burly, powerful and domineering. I saw him reprimand with a straight face in the tone of 'strict master makes a high apprentice': "Xiaobao, if you want to learn fighting skills from me, you have to stand on the pile for at least a year!" ”

"That's not boring!"

The young man pursed his lips, his big eyes then turned around, and he said with a smile: "Brother Biao, you teach me two hands first...... I won't let you suffer, let Sister Zhou add a meal at noon, steam the big crab, and eat enough! ”

As soon as these words came out, the strong man who was originally quite a 'strict teacher's style' suddenly had his eyes lit up, and his anger flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

"That's right......" he scratched his head, and he was naïve. There is a plan to release water in an accommodating manner.

"Don't listen to the young master!"

At this moment, a young girl appeared at the gate of the villa. She is about the same age as a standing boy, wearing a light cyan dress, dignified and beautiful, looking like a small jasper.

The housekeeper is here!

The boy who stood on the pile shouted that it was not good. But I saw the girl coming over, still holding a pocket watch in her hand, looked at the time, smiled at the young man and said, "You can't give up halfway!" Young master, there are still ten minutes left, and the time is not allowed to stop! ”

The boy cried and mourned, so he could only continue to stand on the pile. The sturdy man next to him scratched his head and said in a rough voice, "Yaling came just in time...... Otherwise, I'll be fooled by Xiaobao again! ”

"Brother Biao, let's talk about our conscience, okay...... Flickers? You're fooling me...... I've been old for eight lifetimes, how can I think of learning from you......" The young man was full of resentment. The chatter counts down. It's just that he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"No swearing!"

Later, the girl glared: "Young master, you are a nobleman, you must understand etiquette and be cultivated." ”

Looking at this housekeeper's wife, the young man standing on the pile felt that his head was big, and he couldn't help but raise his head and exclaim: "I knew that there were so many stinky rules of the aristocracy, even if I posted millions of gold dollars upside down, Lao Tzu didn't want to be it!" ”

This young man is undoubtedly Fang Xiaobao.

Two years is not long, but it is enough for Fang Xiaobao to leapfrog from half a child to adulthood. It was also enough for his farm to develop rapidly, and the scale income continued to expand geometrically.

According to the established plan, with the help of Gao Dejin, Fang Xiaobao mortgaged the farm and successfully borrowed a large amount of money from Yinhao. After that, the ice cellar was dug, the processing plant was built, the store was purchased and the store was opened, and the one-stop production, supply and marketing were successfully implemented.

With Ma Wenfang's right-hand man, he used what he learned to create a variety of food processing secrets. The taste is unique and unforgettable.

When the first store opened, it was a bumper harvest at the farm. It is mainly based on red danguo, supplemented by various fruits and fishery products, with Ma Wenfang's exclusive secret cooked food, all kinds of candied fruit and other snacks on display and display.

On the opening day, business was booming. Customers are like a long queue, lining up from the street to the end of the street. On the same day, the turnover reached 20,000 gold yuan. greatly exceeded Fang Xiaobao and Ma Wenfang's expectations.

Season down. Fang Xiaobao not only paid off the silver loan, but also had a surplus of millions of gold yuan on hand. Later, after discussing with Ma Wenfang, he decided to continue to increase industrial expansion and invested heavily to open a second store in the downtown area of the imperial capital.

There is a fountain of tracing the flow to play the side ball. There is Ma Wenfang's right-hand man. There is also a solid cooperative relationship established with several big silver accounts in the imperial capital. Fang Xiaobao's industrial expansion plan has been successfully implemented. Assets begin to grow in a snowballing fashion.

In just two years, he started his first farm, and then expanded and acquired two other farms nearby, with directly operated stores all over the eight most prosperous main streets in the imperial capital. Personal assets reach as much as 10 million.

Even in the imperial capital, where there are many aristocratic and wealthy people, this family business can be ranked in the upper middle and enter the ranks of the rich.

However, all this happened in just two years.

Fang Xiaobao's business was successful, and Gao Dejin, as a partner, of course, also made a lot of money. Moreover, Fang Xiaobao kept his promise and took out 1.5 million gold yuan to buy a knighthood for Gao Dejin.

The aristocracy belonged to the privileged class. Even the lowest knights have a reputation that cannot be ignored, as well as a privilege that distinguishes them from the commoners.

Fang Xiaobao knows this very well. When he bought the knighthood for Goldkin, he had a surplus on hand, and by the way, he also got one for himself.

Today, he can be said to be not only a budding merchant in the imperial capital, but also a member of the aristocracy.

made a fortune on his own, of course, Fang Xiaobao did not forget his subordinates. The first is Ma Wenfang, the steward of the farm, who has been officially appointed as the supervisor after the expansion of the industry. The salary increased fivefold, plus the year-end dividend, and the monthly income reached as much as 50,000 gold yuan.

There are also the first handymen. Those who are able are all promoted to stewardship. Those with slightly inferior ability will have their salary doubled and enjoy excellent treatment.

Barbarian slaves such as Eliman also received real benefits. After buying a new batch of barbarian slaves, Fang Xiaobao fulfilled his original promise, destroyed the deed of sale, and declared them free.

Those who are willing to stay on the farm will be assigned to the escort team and enjoy the same salary. If they don't want to stay, Fang Xiaobao will ask someone to find a way and send them back to their hometown in Beiling.

As a result, Eliman and other 1278 slaves, all of whom chose to stay. In their words, the Northern Territory is in chaos and hungry. It is better to continue to stay in the farm, follow Fang Xiaobao, the benevolent master, and enjoy a better life.

Of course, Fang Xiaobao couldn't ask for it. The barbarians are martial, and the women are proficient in riding and archery fighting skills. They stayed to follow them, and they were definitely more loyal than the hired escorts, and their abilities were only stronger.

Business is on track and thriving.

After Fang Xiaobao bought the knighthood and became a nobleman. Ma Wenfang, the great director, suggested that he hire a housekeeper to be in charge of life and teach etiquette.

Fang Xiaobao felt that it made sense. This errand will be handed over to Ma Wenfang. As a result, Ma Wenfang, who has always been selfless, made an exception this time, and with the mentality that fertilizer and water do not fall into the fields of outsiders, he recruited his sister-in-law to come to the farm and become Fang Xiaobao's housekeeper.

Zhao Yaling, eighteen years old, is one year younger than Fang Xiaobao. Gentle personality, dignified appearance, knowledgeable. She was very clever and clever, and remembered her brother-in-law's advice to conscientiously perform her duties as a housekeeper when she came to the farm.

From teaching Fang Xiaobao aristocratic etiquette to clothing, food, housing and transportation, he is meticulous and considerate.

But Fang Xiaobao thinks that he is in trouble. The reason is very simple, although Zhao Yaling has a gentle personality, she does not accommodate him as a master at all, and controls him everywhere. Because of Ma Wenfang's affection, there is also the recognition of the character of this 'housekeeper's wife', and there are indeed too many 'small problems' and so on. Fang Xiaobao was embarrassed not to listen to the housekeeper's mother-in-law, so he could only follow the rules and accept it.

Half a year ago, he asked Zhang Biao for advice on fighter fighting skills. Brother Biao, who finally became a master, immediately agreed and began to teach seriously.

Stand on the pile! At least a year! Lay the groundwork!

Every day, it's so boring, with Fang Xiaobao's temperament, how can he persevere. Within a few days, I was ready to give up.

Who knew that his behavior was corrected by the 'housekeeper's wife', saying that diligent practice is beneficial to the body and mind, and he must persevere, and he is not allowed to give up halfway.

It makes sense to say that this girl can't be said. You can't fight, you can't scold, and you can't pick people up!

Fang Xiaobao wanted to cry without tears. I can only get up early every morning to take a step, day after day, and nearly half a year has passed.

It's boring. His legs were sore, and aching as if they had been filled with lead. Fang Xiaobao wanted to be lazy today, and tricked Brother Biao into accommodating. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the housekeeper's mother-in-law Zhao Yaling again.

I saw Zhao Yaling holding a pocket watch, brought a chair, and sat next to her to time herself. Fang Xiaobao wanted to cry without tears, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Ma Wenfang, Ma Wenfang, are you recruiting a housekeeper for Lao Tzu, or introducing a daughter-in-law......

At this moment, he complained in his heart, Ma Wenfang's dog-day routine is too deep, and under the banner of introducing the housekeeper, he actually wants to be a brother-in-law with his own owner.
