Such a person, in the officialdom like a sauce jar, is already a rare good person, after all, he still has a human heart.

Guo Dalu inquired about Huang Xueheng's character and decided to treat him as a collaborator, otherwise, he would not have to spend a lot of effort to promote the method of accumulation of fertilizer, punctuation and punctuation to make him famous, and even present a mirror.

However, Huang Xueheng is also a conscientious person, and he did not throw away Guo Dalu as a used rag because he won the position of a warden, and tonight he was half drunk and still dragged his shoes to greet Guo Dalu, which is the best proof.

Guo Dalu hurriedly got up and made a formal salute: "The boy has no mother, there is only one blind father in this world, and today there is an uncle, it is really a blessing from God to me, I have seen Uncle Huang." ”

Huang Xueheng narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Dalu, sit, sit." Since it is a family, I will not talk about two families. Dalu, the big man in Fucheng, likes the treasure I gave very much, and is willing to buy it with a lot of money, I don't know what you have--"

Guo Dalu hurriedly said: "The little nephew still has a few pieces in his hand, and the uncle is useful, just take them." ”

Huang Xueheng nodded and patted Guo Dalu's hand: "You kid is an atmospheric one, don't worry, uncle won't let you suffer, this treasure is in the hands of the big man, although it can't be sold for a sky-high price, it won't be cheap." It's just that the big man will also accept my affection because of this, and if there is something to trouble in the future, it will be a little thin. ”

Guo Dalu said calmly: "I know, this gift is also a doorway, people who have no way, even if they hold a pig's head, they can't find the temple door, this relationship between the upper and lower people, it also needs to rely on water grinding kung fu to maintain for a long time, temporary cramming is the stupidest way, a few mirrors can win the hearts of big people, or we take advantage." ”

Huang Xueheng clapped his hands: "Dalu, I really like you kid, compared to you, my son is a stupid pig who only knows how to eat and drink - holding the pig's head can't find the temple gate, temporarily hugging Buddha's feet, haha, your few words, it's really amazing!"

Guo Dalu said: "After I returned to the village, I asked Brother Hao to send the remaining mirrors, by the way, this is a gift brought by my nephew today and made a special trip to Uncle Huang." ”

Huang Xueheng looked at the gift given by Guo Dalu, it was a small bag wrapped in straw paper, although it was not good-looking, he didn't dare to take it lightly, because Guo Dalu had given him unexpected performances several times.

Huang Xueheng gently opened the paper bag, because he was drunk, his hands were a little shaky, the salla, some fine particles spilled out of the paper bag, Huang Xueheng looked at the moonlight, and what fell on the table were some small white particles like sand and salt.

"This is--" Huang Xueheng looked at Guo Dalu.

Guo Dalu said: "Sugar, sugar." ”

Huang Xueheng opened the paper bag, stretched out his fingers, pinched a little sugar, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Sure enough, it's sugar, this is rock sugar? No, rock sugar is not like this, this white sugar is white in color, like clouds and snow, it can be called snow sugar." ”

Guo Dalu said: "Thank you Uncle Huang for giving me the name." Uncle, I want to set up a sugar farm, specializing in this snow sugar business, and my uncle has 20% of the shares, do you think it is feasible?"

Huang Xueheng plucked the snow candy on the table with his fingers: "This snow candy is indeed a good thing, you don't have to worry about selling it on the market without a good price, those people like the exquisite utensils of my Da Li Dynasty the most, no matter how much snow sugar you have, just one Sanjiangkou can sell it to you cleanly." Letting my uncle take 20% of the dry shares is really a big advantage for me. ”

Guo Dalu knew that this was done, and just as he wanted to say something, Huang Xueheng raised his palm: "However, I want fifty percent of the shares." He didn't wait for Guo Dalu to speak, and said slowly: "It's not that my uncle is greedy, it's really that this sugar business can't be done by anyone." ”

Huang Xueheng patiently explained: "Rice, salt, cloth, sugar, iron, these goods are all big business related to people's livelihood, and since the founding of the Great Li Dynasty, they have been official and business professionals. Don't look at the folk grocery stores can buy these goods, in fact, there are only a few real big merchants behind the scenes, some officials and businessmen have been in business for more than 2,000 years, their power is really rich and rival the country, even high-ranking officials and nobles, are willing to befriend them. ”

"As far as I know, Houlong Village does not produce sugar, and the snow sugar in Guo Xian's nephew's hand must have been made from brown sugar through some kind of magic method. But do you know that the origin of sugar raw materials in the Great Li Dynasty, one in Yuedi, and the other in overseas Yi Island, are all controlled by wealthy merchants, if they find this snow sugar, as long as they jam your neck from the brown sugar raw materials, you can't do this business. ”

Guo Dalu frowned, I damn it, this is not a monopoly, I only knew that salt and iron were monopolized before, who would have thought that in this Great Li Dynasty, even sugar was the exclusive business of monopoly.

He was a little unconvinced: "Could it be that the ability of that wealthy merchant is really good? I can't buy brown sugar from small households in a scattered way?"

Huang Xueheng sneered: "Although this snow candy is very profitable, but ordinary people can't eat sugar every day, only by selling a large number of them, can they make money, believe it or not, your snow candy has been on the market for less than seven days, and there is no store in Yinxian County that dares to sell brown sugar to you, and no store will sell your snow candy on behalf of you, can you still open your own store and spread the snow sugar all over every town? Hmph, you are not afraid that you have your life to make money and not to spend it?"

Guo Dalu shrank his neck: "I believe it, uncle, you said that you want fifty percent of the shares, but take this share to find a backer?"

Huang Xueheng twisted his beard: "It's easy to talk to you kid, you don't need me to say it explicitly, you know the true meaning of the words." Yes, these five cents of shares are the money from our participation in the sugar business. In fact, I'm still a little worried, these fifty percent of the shares, not enough to feed those big people, after all, our snow sugar business is taken from other people's mouths. However, you just said that you still have a few mirrors in your hand, and you can touch this treasure to open the way, and this snow candy business. ”

Guo Dalu slapped his thigh: "That's it." Uncle Huang, my nephew is waiting for your good news in Houlong Village. ”

In a few days, Huang Xueheng's official document as a magistrate in Yinxian County was officially issued, in addition to the words of the scene, there were also "knowing agricultural affairs" and "good at education" and other praises, all the officials in the yamen know that this is to praise Huang Xueheng for distributing the fertilizer method for free, punctuation, etc., all of which are unusual, although Huang Xueheng chanted a few crooked poems, when did he have such a ability?

I heard that his two prescriptions are from ancient books, why he didn't have such good luck, for a while, the business of the bookstore in the county town has improved a lot, and many scholars have asked if there are any ancient books, the longer the better, but let the bookstore owner sell a pile of old books that have been suppressed for a long time.

Although Huang Xueheng Huang Dianguan was promoted, he did not change the house, and still lived in the old house behind the yamen, he knew in his heart that although he became a pawn, he was also a serious official, but in this Yin County, some of them were bigger than their own officials, had more money, and had a hard backing behind them, which was too public, and there was no benefit.

On this day, Huang Xueheng instructed the old servant to prepare a carriage and horses for himself, ready to go to the state capital, before leaving, he turned out a box, took out the things inside, and played with them carefully, those few things were a few mirrors sent by Guo Dalu to Brother Hao.

Huang Xueheng held the "broken star mirror" in the sun - this is the box made by Zhou Carpenter with broken lenses, Guo Dalu took this vulgar name - a pair of old eyes made the reflected stars and little sunlight stimulate tears, good things, really good things, Huang Xueheng's eyes are becoming more and more greedy, I just want to grab these mirrors, dig a hole and bury them, this is a treasure that can be passed on to future generations!

However, Huang Xueheng is worthy of being an old official, and he quickly calmed down, such a baby is not qualified to be owned by a petty official like himself, and if he stays hard, he will only leave a disaster for future generations, so to speak, Guo Dalu, this kid, is not an ordinary person, he can see so clearly at a young age, and he handed over all the mirrors to himself without hesitation, without any nostalgia.

This kind of heart is really strange.

But he didn't know what kind of person his master and the old man in the mountain was, and he could teach such an apprentice.

Huang Xueheng now firmly believes that Guo Dalu is not a fugitive slave, but an anonymous apprentice of another person, not to mention anything else, it is impossible for any fugitive slave to have such a treasure as the broken star mirror in his hand - even if this broken star mirror was stolen by Guo Dalu from the master's house, he will only go away incognito, sell the dirt to foreign people, and it is impossible to hand it over to himself and give gifts everywhere in the state capital.

Huang Xueheng was playing, and the old servant reported outside the door: "Master Li, the county student, came to pay a visit." ”

Huang Xueheng remembered that it was Li Huafuzi, who defended his punctuation marks on the street that day, and his words were wide-ranging. Previously, Huang Xueheng and Li Hua did not have much friendship, Huang Xueheng was just a pen sticker, Li Hua was the master of the school, to put it bluntly, he was a teacher, although he could be called a colleague, but he rarely interacted. It's just that Li Hua reprimanded the scholar named Huang Xueheng on the street that day, but it was Huang Xueheng who owed him a favor.

Huang Xueheng hurriedly said: "Please, please." ”

Huang Xueheng put away the wooden box containing the mirror, Li Hua just stepped in, and said from a distance: "Mr. Baizhu, there is a disturbance, I see that there are carriages and horses at the door, but I want to travel far away? ”

Huang Xueheng walked to the door to greet him: "Brother Wen Guang came to the door, he should have greeted him upside down, please sit, please sit, come here, serve good tea." ”

Huang Xueheng and Li Hua sat down and exchanged a few words, in fact, the two usually do not have a relationship, and they have shallow acquaintances, so naturally they can't say deeply, Huang Xueheng is wondering why this Li Fuzi suddenly came to the door -- this Li Hua is an upright person in the county school, and he is quite talented, and teaching is also his duty, what is the matter of suddenly coming to the door today? Could it be that he saw that he was promoted and wanted to find himself to take the door? Then he should also find a school official.
