As soon as he arrived at the gate of the back yayuan, Zhu Chengjun saw Master Xu waiting in front of the round gate with a black face.

Zhu Chengjun hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said, "Master Lao Xu has been waiting for a long time, and I hope for Haihan." ”

I want to wait for you with a county master, what a big shelf!

Master Xu was just about to have a seizure, when he saw several officials following with large bags and small bags, he instantly changed his face and said with a smile: "If Zhu Gongzi doesn't come again, I am afraid that he will inevitably be reprimanded by Lord Zhang." ”

Seeing the change in Master Xu's expression, Zhu Chengjun once again saw the convenience of opening the way for money, and saw the full 'sincerity' Master Xu's face change is much more clever than the Sichuan opera face change.

No one will like to lift the bar, but everyone wants to carry the sedan chair.

Zhu Chengjun lowered his posture as much as possible, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Master Xu." ”

Master Xu glanced at Xu Xiao standing beside Zhu Chengjun out of the corner of his eye, a wisp of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on, take this ...... The strong man went down to rest. ”

Seeing Master Xu's face, Zhu Chengjun realized that this meeting was not ordinary, even so, he decided to test it a little, and waved his hand lightly at Master Xu, and said, "This is a sworn brother, not an outsider......

"I hope you will forgive me, Master Zhang only summoned Zhu Gongzi alone." Master Xu particularly emphasized.

"Just listen to Master Xu." Zhu Chengjun gave Xu Xiao a look and asked him to obey the arrangement.

Master Xu nodded with satisfaction, walked in front and led Zhu Chengjun to the reception hall of the back office.

When the two came to the living room, Zhu Chengjun didn't see anyone except for a table of prepared banquets.

As far as etiquette is concerned, as the host's family, you should not let the guests who come to the door wait.

Zhu Chengjun knew that the master he was going to see this time was not simple, and he couldn't be judged according to secular etiquette.

"Lord Zhang is busy with official business, Xu Mou will go to Tongyu, please wait for a while." Master Xu casually found an excuse, and then turned around and went to the courtesy.

Although there were many chairs for resting in the living room, Master Xu had no intention of inviting him to sit down, so Zhu Chengjun had to stand and wait.

Master Xu didn't see anyone come for a long time after he walked away, and he didn't know how busy the official was, Zhu Chengjun thought that this was the county magistrate's intention to give himself a warning, and he was also taking the opportunity to declare his majesty.

Since the other party is putting on a score to show his dignity, why not satisfy him.

Zhu Chengjun casually glanced at the reception hall, although he didn't know how to appreciate it, he felt that the decoration of the hall was quite stylish, but it was too flashy. Zhu Chengjun couldn't help but think to himself, this parent official is quite good at enjoying it in his spare time.

After a long while, Master Xu was late with two middle-aged men in his arms.

Hearing the footsteps approaching the door, Zhu Cheng hurriedly walked out and almost bumped into the two.

"Contemptible Zhu Chengjun has seen adults." Although Zhu Chengjun has never seen the dignity of the county master, it is not wrong to greet the person standing in the middle first.

The middle-aged man standing in the middle glanced at Zhang Hongcheng on the left hand side lightly, and then bowed his head to Zhu Chengjun and said approvingly: "Zhu Gongzi is really a rare young man, and this official only hates to meet too late." ”

"Thanks to the adult's false praise, the contemptible people are terrified." Zhu Chengjun tried his best to behave respectfully, respectfully and respectfully, and he couldn't show a trace of humility and flattery.

Seeing that Zhu Chengjun was slow to salute his boss, Master Xu hurriedly made a gesture.

"I've seen Lord County." Zhu Chengjun hurriedly made a gesture after getting the hint from his master, and slandered himself in his heart: The little seven-grade sesame official, really think that he is a bodhisattva clay statue in the temple, and everyone must recognize it?

Although the county master is said to be a mere seven grades, he is a proper court official, which is even more remarkable in his previous life.

Zhang Hongcheng saw that Zhu Chengjun knew a lot about etiquette and was also clever, so he couldn't help but look up to this young businessman a little bit in his heart, and then raised his hand and introduced: "This is Lord Qincha from Beijing, Lu Zuan, Lord Lu." ”

"I've seen Chincha-sama." Zhu Chengjun saluted again.

Master Xu saw that the three of them had seen the ceremony, and said in a timely manner: "Two adults, the banquet has been prepared." ”

"Lord Lu, please!" Zhang Hongcheng bent down deeply, then straightened up and raised his hand to Zhu Chengjun, and said lightly: "Zhu Gongzi is invited." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw Zhang Hongcheng's reluctant politeness, if he took his politeness as a blessing, he would be ignorant, if he really went in one step ahead of him, the atmosphere on the scene would immediately deteriorate.

Zhu Chengjun bowed lightly and said, "My lord, please first." ”

The cumbersome etiquette is not over here, and Zhu Chengjun raised his hand to the master standing on the side.

Master Xu knows the role he is in at the moment, although it is not rude to go in one step ahead of Zhu Chengjun.

The banquet set by the county magistrate has a lot of courtesies at the last wine table.

This series of bad rules of officialdom came down, and Zhu Chengjun sighed in his heart, who is asking for whom?

Lu Zuan should sit on the main seat, Zhu Chengjun and Zhang Hong are lined up left and right, and Master Xu is at the bottom.

After the four of them sat down in order, Lu Zuan looked at Zhu Chengjun and said, "This official sees that Zhu Gongzi is polite and polite, he should be a scholar, why did he become the owner of the Changxing ticket number?" ”

When Zhu Chengjun heard this, he was vigilant for no reason, and said in his heart: This is the second time to get off the horse?

There is such a thought, it is not that Zhu Chengjun spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, most of the previous dynasties have implemented a high-pressure policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, and the contempt of scholars for businessmen is almost an unconscious instinctive reaction.

Zhu Chengjun smiled slightly, his face seemed to be self-deprecating, and he said regretfully: "It's not that I don't want to study to gain fame, it's just that there is no Wenqu star at home to protect me." ”

"Haha...... Zhu Gongzi spoke...... It's really funny. Zhang Hongcheng couldn't help but give Zhu Chengjun a thumbs up in his heart, there were only two Jinshi and the first in the audience, and Master Xu, who was not good, was also from a lifting background.

Zhu Chengjun's self-deprecating performance instantly enlivened the originally slightly dull atmosphere.

"The official proposed, and drank this cup." Lu Zuan raised his glass.

I heard that I wanted to drink, Zhu Chengjun called it a rejection in his heart, he didn't drink in his previous life, and now he is only fifteen years old, if he drinks too much, it is easy to affect his development.

Zhu Chengjun knew that he had not yet gained the initiative in negotiations, so he had to grit his teeth and have a toast with the three of them.

After a glass of wine, Lu Zuan's official shelf at the beginning was also a little slack, and he asked Zhu Chengjun for advice: "The Changxing ticket number created by Zhu Gongzi, I don't know which sage I have been inspired by, and I hope to make it clear." ”

Confucianism advocates self-cultivation and Qi family governance of the country and the world, how to teach people to earn that blockage, but this blockage is liked by everyone and becomes more and more important over time. However, for thousands of years, it has been a political situation, once in power, wealth is not at the mercy of those in power, so why do you need to hollow out your mind to make profits like merchants and hawkers.

"Some time ago, I occasionally read "Pipe" and felt that several adults are well-educated, and they will not get an axe in the next class." Zhu Chengjun said lightly, and let Lu Zuan and the others frown and think hard.

The three of them are all readers, so they naturally know the seventy-six chapters of the book "Guanzi", and Rao is that they racked their brains and searched through them but failed to find a single word to explain that the Changxing ticket number can earn an amazing fortune in just a few days.

Zhu Chengjun saw that Sanrenjun was a person who loved 'money', but unfortunately he was not a person who was good at seeking legitimate wealth. If you want to guess what a person feels after reading a book, others don't break it down, even if everyone reads the same book, and there is no similar mental journey, ordinary people can't guess it at all.

The three of them were conceited and well-educated, and they couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, and soon thought that Zhu Chengjun was just looking for a sage to fool them, and because of their identities, the three of them were not ashamed to ask for advice.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, they were suspicious of their buddies making fun of them, Zhu Chengjun thought so, if you don't read "Guanzi" and have a feeling - analyzing the wealth code as a topic and devoting yourself to studying it for decades, how can you easily explain the financial knowledge that has been systematically summarized by people for thousands of years.

The three of them secretly exchanged glances, how could they easily get the key to open the door to wealth from this extremely cunning boy without showing some practical benefits.

However, if it is easy to loosen the mouth, it will not be conducive to negotiation.

Just as a few people fell into thought, the atmosphere in the hall sank silently.

Zhu Chengjun knew that he had initially gained the initiative in the next negotiations, as long as he had what they wanted, he only needed to withstand their coercion and temptation, and the dominant power would always be on his side.

After three rounds of drinking, Lu Zuan thought that it was time to get to the point, and said in a deep voice: "This official has been ordered by the imperial court to purchase charcoal for military supplies, and now he has encountered some difficulties, and I hope that Zhu Gongzi can supply charcoal to the imperial court at a more reasonable price with the priority of his family and country, so as to solve the urgent need." This kindness and this situation, the official first wrote it down. ”

'Urgent urgency' Zhu Chengjun would not believe Lu Zuan's nonsense, it was really as eager as he said, the Great Song Dynasty court simply issued an edict to recruit charcoal-burning workers, anyway, charcoal making is not a high-tech job. The reason why they don't do it is not that they can't think of it, but that they don't want to do it at all.

The country has reached the point of life and death, and the civil official clique of the Great Song Dynasty still does not forget the internal struggle and the difficulty of making money for the country, and it is simply intolerable that this corrupt regime will not perish.

Now that the words have been clarified, Zhu Chengjun didn't plan to grind too much, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Lu, I take the liberty of asking, how many people still know the news of the imperial court's purchase of charcoal this time." ”

Hearing Zhu Chengjun's extremely presumptuous words, Zhang Hongcheng and Master Xu's faces turned cold.

Lu Zuan raised his hand to signal the two to relax, and said: "From now on, Zhu Gongzi is not an outsider, and the official is not afraid to say that this charcoal procurement is fully responsible for the official, and the people who know this news are all trusted friends of the official." ”

Listening to Lu Zuan's words, Zhu Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately the news had not yet spread. However, with the existence of charcoal coupons and the huge wealth present, the secret will soon cease to be a secret.

"I would venture to ask again, how many charcoal coupons are in the hands of Lord Lu's friends." Zhu Chengjun's questioning became more and more presumptuous, and he almost didn't say how much national wealth Lu Zuan wanted to take advantage of.

Zhang Hongcheng, Master Xu couldn't help but break out in a bean-sized cold sweat on his forehead.

"It's all the subordinates who make their own decisions, there must be some, but not many." Lu Zuan knew that the actual controller of Datong Charcoal was the young man in front of him, Lu Zuan never thought about what kind of impact Zhu Chengjun would have on the current price of charcoal coupons once he signed a charcoal supply agreement with the imperial court, and in his opinion, the charcoal market would definitely be pushed up.

Zhu Chengjun took a long breath and said, "Fortunately, Lord Lu told him the truth, otherwise there would have been trouble." ”

"Once the news of the imperial court's purchase of charcoal is widely known, it should have a huge role in promoting the charcoal market, why does Zhu Gongzi decide that this matter is a disaster?" Master Xu wondered.

Zhu Chengjun was silent, such anti-inherent cognition is difficult to explain to them.

Zhang Hongcheng saw that Zhu Chengjun didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and thought it was time to promise him some benefits, so he arched his hand vigorously and said: "I hope that Zhu Gongzi will not hesitate to give advice, this kindness, the official will be rewarded afterwards." ”

Zhu Chengjun waited for them to express their position, but they wanted to take their secrets just by virtue of the benefits of verbal promises, phew! It's not too beautiful to think about. The favorable factors of the negotiation are getting closer to him, Zhu Chengjun changed his words and said: "The two adults, please come down should not be just for a piece of charcoal, if you have something to say, you may as well say it clearly, what you want to get from the two adults, naturally you will not hide it, after all, you will talk about your love and my wishes when doing business." ”

Lu Zuan slapped the table and said, "Since Zhu Gongzi is a cheerful person, the official will say it directly!" Since Zhu Gongzi can use charcoal coupons for profit, then grain coupons, iron coupons, and copper coupons ...... Presumably, it is not a problem. The official wanted to ask Zhu Gongzi to dedicate this plan to the imperial court to help the emperor raise military salaries as soon as possible. If Zhu Gongzi is willing, this official will be the court to ask for merit for the virtuous brother. ”

With Lu Zuan's statement, Zhu Chengjun looked at the county magistrate Zhang Hongcheng and was waiting for him to say.

Lu Zuan called him 'virtuous brother', Zhang Hongcheng rushed to perform, and Zhengse promised: "In the future, Zhu Gongzi can come to me for anything, and I will do my best to solve it for Zhu Gongzi within the scope of my authority." ”

Since he was acting for the tiger, Zhu Chengjun was too lazy to be polite, and immediately said all his needs.

Lu Zuan and Zhang Hongcheng also promised in person.

Although Lu Zuan responded, he was still not at ease, and said: "Zhu Gongzi will stay in the yamen for a few days to plan this plan with peace of mind, and if you need anything, just mention it to Master Zhang." ”

How could Zhu Chengjun not hear the meaning of Lu Zuan's words, and couldn't help but sigh: Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!

The deal has been reached, in order to liven up the atmosphere, Zhang Hongcheng clapped his hands, and the dance music that had been on call early in the morning immediately took the stage.

A beautiful woman dances in the music, sometimes with light hands, sometimes with wonderful eyes and affectionate, extremely provocative and seductive.

In order to confuse the two old foxes, Zhu Chengjun pretended to be overwhelmed by the beautiful dance.

Lu Zuan saw Zhu Chengjun's obsessive expression, and said: "If Zhu Gongzi likes this little lady, she will take care of your food, clothing and daily life in the next few days, I don't know what to do?" ”

Zhang Hongcheng took over the conversation and added: "Miss Lan'er is the Oiran of Piaoxiang Courtyard, and she is still innocent. ”

Zhu Chengjun pretended to excuse himself and sneered: "How dare the kid take the favor of Lord Lu." ”

"Haha...... Anyway. Lu Zuan laughed loudly.
