Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 53



For the remaining two balls, Wang Xiujin glanced at the numbers on them, and hurriedly took them to look at the appearance first. Both balls looked good. He raised his hand and threw them on the ground. One piece lost a few pieces of debris, and the other piece was intact. Wang Xiujin Busily rushed into the room to search for the ingredients ratio of the two balls, then hugged the paper and laughed "haha", scaring Wang Juye who came in with the two balls, what's wrong with my uncle?

With a successful case, Wang Xiujin immediately made a few more shaped pieces according to the ratio of ingredients.After a few more days, it was made according to the ratio of two different ingredients. It was the same as before. Wang Xiujin was completely relieved.Then he began to think about whether he would open the shop by himself, sell the formula, or open it together with others. Except for the first two thoughts, Wang Xiujin's first reaction was the owner of the grocery store.

Opening a shop by himself, Wang Xiujin was afraid that it would be too conspicuous. Although his family has many backers, they can't quench their thirst. Besides, even if the backers come here, they may not be able to overwhelm the snakes. The most important thing is, people like the Li family Waiting for the backer, is it really reliable?Usually borrowing fame is easy to use, but when it is really used on a knife edge, he dare not think about it.

After the idea of ​​opening a store alone was rejected, Wang Xiujin wrote a letter to the young owner. In this matter, Wang Xiujin didn't think the young owner could be the master, so he wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could meet the real owner of the grocery store.

After the letter was handed over to shopkeeper Wu, Wang Xiujin was not in a hurry to build a house. He had more important things to do right now, which was to buy crab seedlings.Seeing that the spring sowing is about to start, crab seedlings are the top priority, and then there are matters such as raising seedlings in advance, Wang Xiujin is so busy that he hits the back of his head.

In the capital, the emperor looked at Wang Xiujin's letter and sighed again. He doesn't like Wang Xiujin's small troubles now, but he has to admit that Wang Xiujin seems to be born to make money. The last letter still says the brick price It was too expensive, so the next letter came up with something that could replace the bricks. Although there was no prescription attached, the emperor believed that Wang Xiujin had really figured out a way.The letter did not reveal any hints about Fang Zi, only mentioned cooperation, but it made the readers think along his line of thought.In addition to having a brain that can make money, this son is also very good at writing.The emperor was looking forward to it, what would happen if the other party took part in the imperial examination?

After the prince saw the letter, he immediately ran to see his father. He was going to visit Wu County. The grocery store was given by his father. If what Wang Xiujin wrote in the letter was true, then the cooperative shop was not his own alone. But it can also speak volumes.

"Is it true that the emperor only needs a letter?" After the emperor finished speaking, he thought that after reading the letter, he also felt that Wang Xiujin was not talking in empty words.

"My son believes that Wang Xiujin will not lie." The prince responded quickly. He never thought about whether what was written in the letter might be fake, and it was strange when he thought about it. If someone else said it, he might not believe it, but Wang Xiujin said, he believed it.

"Even if it's true, Huang'er would have thought about just buying the prescription and reselling it to open the shop on his own, so that he doesn't have to share profits with others." The emperor opened his mouth slowly.

"My son thinks that money should not be used to hurt peace." The prince never thought about buying Fangzi and then monopolizing the matter. After being reminded by his father, the prince didn't think buying Fangzi was the best policy, and he might break off contact with Wang Xiujin .

The emperor overturned the previous evaluation of the emperor, although this son is simple, he is shrewd.He agreed to his son's request, "It means cooperation, so you can't pretend to be a prince." After the emperor finished speaking, he said, "If Wang Xiujin finds out about your identity in the future, what will you do?"

"My son believes in Wang Xiujin." The prince said calmly.The emperor was happy, and waved his hand to let his son back down.After the prince exited the imperial study, he began to think about the last sentence his father asked, and his mind tightened. Then he thought that with Wang Xiujin's intelligence, he would be able to figure it out, and he would not be blamed.

The prince quickly packed his bags, and after he packed them, he didn’t want to bring Li Sushan with him. It is said that Li Sushan should accompany him, but if he really followed, would it cause unnecessary trouble? He is respectful everywhere?After much deliberation, the prince decided not to take Li Sushan with him.

At this time, Li Sushan didn't know that the prince was going to leave the capital. When he received the news from the eunuch next to the prince, the prince had already left Beijing. Li Sushan asked the prince's whereabouts, but the eunuch just shook his head and said he didn't know.Li Sushan believed that the eunuch did not know, the prince had mentioned to him that the eunuchs around him should not be considered loyal, but he knew who could trust and who would betray the master. At that time Li Sushan thought that the prince was implying that he could not have two hearts.

Although the prince did not travel day and night, his speed was not slow. On the way, he had already figured out his identity, his surname was Zhao, and he was the fourth brother. Wang Xiujin called him fourth brother Zhao. Someone in his family was in the palace (no lie , his father is the emperor, and he is in the palace every day), so he has some support.

When the prince arrived in Wu County, Wang Xiujin had just finished breeding, and before he had a few days off, he was invited into the city by shopkeeper Wu.After Wu shopkeeper learned that Wang Xiujin had a marriage contract with the grandson of General Li, he understood why the little Wang Xiujin worked so hard. Hanging on the medicinal soup all the time, Wang Xiubo is a good person, but he is not as good as Wang Xiujin in some things. As for Wang Xiujin's sister, she will go out in the future.If a person's life is burdened by others, he may not be able to achieve anything, so it is better to fight on his own.

Seeing the young master's family at the grocery store, Wang Xiujin was a little hesitant. He thought he could see the owner of the grocery store, but after thinking about it, Wang Xiujin didn't think there was anything wrong. , the age of marriage has been pushed to 20 years old, but it is still ancient. The ancients are everywhere, and it is not a big deal to come out for the young boss. Wang Xiujin feels that compared with the ancients, he is still too young.

Because of the correspondence between the two, they became much closer. When they were chatting together, the prince asked Wang Xiujin to call him Fourth Brother Zhao.It's not that Wang Xiujin doesn't want to ask, but that Zhao Si's name hangs on the back of his head - don't want to lie, don't ask.It's better not to ask than to get a lie.

When the two met, neither of them mentioned cooperation. In the evening, Wang Xiujin sent Wang Juye back to the village, told his parents that he would stay in the city at night, and asked Wang Juye to bring back the things he made at home to the city.In the evening, Wang Xiujin greeted Zhao Si at the restaurant, and the two of them tacitly did not drink.

After the meal, Zhao Si invited Wang Xiujin to chat with the small dean where he lived. Apart from cooperating, Zhao Si also wanted to ask some questions about the politics mentioned in the last letter. After writing it every time, I feel that I can't achieve satisfactory results. Li Sushan has read a lot of military books and is not proficient in politics. Although he can say something, it is not as good as he wants.

In the small courtyard, Zhao Si saw something harder than a brick, and when the brick was thrown on the ground, it would break.Zhao Si was very surprised when he saw the dusty things.

Wang Juye didn't know the use of the clay dumplings that Wang Xiujin made, but looking at the son who was said to be the young owner of the grocery store in front of him, he felt that what he just handed out was not clay dumplings, but gold.Wang Juye guessed that this thing must be worth a lot of money. He thought that his uncle was really smart, and he thought of a way to make money. He knew that his uncle received a large sum of money last year. He said it was a dividend from ice making. Not worth more than ice.After thinking about it, Wang Juye left the house. He knew that his uncle wanted to talk to him, so he had better not listen too much.

"Cheaper than bricks?" Zhao Si picked up the mud ball and looked at it again and again, still in disbelief.

"I don't know how much the bricks cost, but I know that the bricks need to be fired, but this thing doesn't need it." Wang Xiujin couldn't think of a name for the things he made.

"Not burned?" Zhao Si couldn't believe it even more, staring at the mud ball in his hand, wishing he could poke a hole out of it, "How is that possible!"

"Originally, I wanted to wait until the house at home was built before discussing cooperation with Fourth Brother Zhao, but I was afraid that people would watch it during the process." Wang Xiujin briefly talked about how to make mud dumplings. The main raw materials and the proportions are not detailed.

"You mean to pour water into the shelf, and then dry it naturally, can it be so hard?" Zhao Si put away his surprise and looked serious.

"Yes." Wang Xiujin nodded, "If Fourth Brother Zhao can stay for a few more days, why not try it in the yard, and then test its strength and hardness." Wang Xiujin is not worried about the quality at all.

Zhao Si naturally agreed, the main reason he came here was to see the real thing, and then talk about cooperation. Although he believed what Wang Xiujin said, he still wanted to believe what he saw.

On the second day, Wang Xiujin made a very tall wooden detachable square frame. Zhao Si avoided it very consciously, watched Wang Xiujin tossing with water and dust from a distance, and then poured water into the square frame.Seeing that Wang Xiujin was cleaning things up, Zhao Si paced closer and circled the square frame.In the afternoon, Wang Xiujin removed the wooden boards, leaving only the empty frame. "It's the first time I've done it this high. It's all small pieces before. If it fails, Brother Zhao can't laugh at me." Wang Xiujin said so, but after the wooden board was removed, the mud poured in did not It didn't spread out, and the corners of the mouth were still somewhat smug.

A few days later, I looked at the mud pillars in the courtyard again. Zhao Si couldn't penetrate it with a nail, and there was no crack when I hit it with a hammer used in ordinary homes. I poured water on it, but it didn't fall off. "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful." Zhao Si, who was in a very good mood, immediately discussed cooperation with Wang Xiujin, and then thought, "I wonder if brother Xiujin named this thing?"

"Concrete." Wang Xiujin said directly without thinking.

"Concrete? It's also appropriate." Zhao Si nodded, "I wonder how Brother Xiu Jin wants to cooperate?"
