Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The school was lively, and Wang Xiujin was pulled by his father to recite the enlightenment text with the children who passed.At noon, Wang Huanzhi went to the village chief's house. It was absolutely impossible to repair the stele. He was a civil official, so he knew what it was like to be a civil servant. Their family finally turned around, and they must not suffer again because of this matter. Guilt, even if it offends others, must be stopped.Wang Huanzhi returned after staying at the village chief's house for nearly two hours, his face still not very good, but when he saw his youngest son, he knew that the matter of erecting the monument had been resolved.

Wang Xiujin nodded, because there were too many people, he didn't ask more questions, and planned to ask carefully after returning home.No matter what price is paid, this matter must not be started, if not... Wang Xiujin narrowed his eyes, and his father is the only one left and right in the grandfather's line, and the family will be divided at worst.

Wang Huanzhi didn't know what his son was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely raise his hand and give his son a ruler. Why can't his words be trusted?Besides, the matter of clan division, if it can be accomplished with just a touch of lip service, why did he waste so much saliva talking at the village chief's house for more than an hour.

Taking advantage of his father's inattention, Wang Xiujin gave Wang Juye the matter of recitation, and he sneaked back home, and then rushed into the city with his servants. If he sat down in the school again, he would probably fall asleep with his arms around the table .

After entering the city, every time he met an acquaintance, before Wang Xiujin could speak, the other party spoke first, saying congratulations, and Wang Xiujin hurriedly returned the salute.All the way to the shop, Wang Xiujin rubbed his stiff face from laughing.For a long time, although Wang Xiujin knew that the imperial examination was useful, but in a dynasty where the status of merchants was not low, comparing the two, Wang Xiujin preferred to choose merchants rather than officials.Before I persuaded my elder brother to take the imperial examination, it was also because my elder brother was not expected to be a businessman, and secondly, I also had some kind of connection between government and business, but I didn't have much hope for my elder brother, I only hoped that it would be good to be an official.But along the way from the city gate to the shop, Wang Xiujin's ideas have changed a little, and he has become a little bit tempted by the imperial examination. The imperial court does not have a rule that people who take the imperial examination are not allowed to engage in business. He can go into business with his fame behind his back. , there is no harm, maybe something happened, because of his fame, he can't do anything to him.

"Boss, you received a lot of peanuts, do you want to take them back today?" Seeing Wang Xiujin, shopkeeper Yu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Let the guy load the car up." Even though Wang Xiujin went to the city recently, he didn't pay much attention to the things in the shop. He casually asked how the business was going, and the shopkeeper delivered the account book quickly.Wang Xiujin looked at it briefly, and shopkeeper Yu explained it to him carefully. Wang Xiujin nodded from time to time, and brought up some ideas by the way.The two of them hadn't finished talking when they heard shopkeeper Wu's voice, "Brother Xiu Jin, why didn't you come to me first when you entered the city today? I heard that you are going to the school. What's the matter, you want to take the imperial examination in the future?"

"Treasurer Wu." Wang Xiujin closed the account book, got up with a smile, and greeted shopkeeper Wu. "Going to school is only for reading, you can't be blind. If you meet someone in the future, they will hear that my father is the number one scholar and my brother is the best. When they ask me about me, I can't even read a few words. I am not afraid of being ashamed myself, but I can't bring shame on my family."

"It's reasonable, why don't you study for a few years and try it out, maybe you can get the title of No. [-] scholar." Shopkeeper Wu felt that Wang Xiujin was much smarter than his elder brother. If he went to the imperial examination, he might not be better than him. Brother is poor.

"Shopkeeper Wu, have you ever seen a person with three heads who went into business instead of being an official?" Wang Xiu Jinle, arguing with shopkeeper Wu.

"Don't tell me, there really are. I heard from the shopkeeper of Xiangcheng that the shopkeeper who came to visit last time was a champion." Shopkeeper Wu replied solemnly.Wang Xiujin was very surprised, then shook his head, thinking it was impossible.If it is the number one scholar, how could the court release him.Shopkeeper Yu believed it instead, he felt that Shopkeeper Mi's demeanor was not from an ordinary family.

"Don't you believe it." Seeing that Wang Xiujin didn't believe it, shopkeeper Wu cheered up, "The shopkeeper in Xiangcheng is also an example, how could he just talk about it."

"Okay! I don't believe it yet." Wang Xiujin didn't believe it at all, and just talked casually.Seeing Wang Xiujin's reaction, shopkeeper Wu felt a little uncomfortable.Wang Xiujin hurriedly changed the subject, shopkeeper Wu felt that it would be embarrassing to be serious with a child, so he revealed the matter.

After staying in the city for a long time, he came home with a few big bags of peanuts, and when he entered the door, he saw his father's face was dark, and Wang Xiujin felt a headache.Fortunately, Mrs. Wang appeared in time. Wang Xiujin stuck out his tongue and slipped back to the yard with his servants. However, during dinner, Wang Xiujin still did not escape his father's scolding.

Capital, Li Mansion.Old General Li invited his third son and eldest grandson to sit around in the study to conduct an in-depth analysis of the emperor's exam questions this year.Although the Li family is not greedy for power, they can't think too much about it.The three brothers each expressed their thoughts, but Li Sushan knew more. After a moment of silence, he decided to share the contents of Wang Xiujin's letter to the fourth prince with the elders at home.

After the four elders finished listening, they were all stunned.Immediately, Old General Li stood up, "Su Shan, is this serious?"

Li Sushan nodded, how could he be joking about such an important matter.

"Good, great good!" Old General Li sighed, "I am not as good as I am." After he finished speaking, he shook his head with bitterness on his face.The three brothers of the Li family looked at Li Sushan with shock on their faces. If they really had such a good plan, how many people would give it away for free.

"Father, if this is accomplished, you must be careful, and you must not let Xiu Jin feel cold." Li Junliang felt more and more that it would be good for the first emperor to find a wife for his son, because the first emperor had a good vision.

"Yes, father, this matter must not be left to those people who are greedy for merit and money." The two younger brothers responded immediately.Li Sushan nodded after the two uncles said, and must not be corrupted by bad people.

"This matter must not be publicized. The emperor has not taken any action yet. You all pretend not to know." Old General Li pointed to his third son, "Privately search for the wounded soldiers who have retired in the past few years. Don't make it public."

The three brothers looked at each other, and then respectfully saluted their father. "My son knows."

Old General Li left his eldest grandson behind and asked his third son to go out first, and the three of them walked out of the study, the second and third congratulated the elder brother with sour words.They didn't say anything about Su Shan's marriage before, they only thought that the Wang family was a grain merchant, and they were not afraid of the household department's fuss. Now, they think that the Li family may be superior to the Wang family boy.If the Li family had such a good strategy, they would definitely not hand it over to the imperial court. It is very likely that they will build a workshop in private. They may recruit wounded soldiers, but they will only use wounded soldiers from their own army. As for the soldiers of other generals, what does it have to do with them? relation.

The actions of the Li family are very secretive. Others can't see what their family is up to, they just think that the Li family is doing something, and even an official wrote a note pointing out that the Li family is planning to rebel.The book was thrown back before it reached the emperor's hands. The Li family would hand in the military order when they returned to the court. If they wanted to rebel, they had to be able to mobilize troops. In front of the emperor, no mention of the punishment for those who wrote the notes, they will all be implicated accordingly.

Ever since the imperial banquet was over, Wang Xiubo closed the door to thank the guests, not because he wanted to put on a gesture, but because the threshold of his family was about to be stepped down by the matchmaker.Wang Xiubai didn't want to seek any good relatives, but he wanted the family to be right. After his wife entered the door, the husband and wife would not be silent and respect each other as guests. Besides, the other party could not be too scheming, nor could he not have a scheming person. The money is earned by the younger brother. You must not enter the door and want to put on airs, want to be in charge of the family, and take the younger brother's money as your own, etc. You must absolutely put an end to it.Wang Xiubai had a lot of demands on his wife, and he was very picky. He didn't believe the matchmaker's exaggerated words, so he simply closed the door.

The eunuch who passed the decree in the palace knocked on the door, and saw a few matchmakers on the left and right, and knew it well. "Is Wang Tanhua here?" Wang Xiubai hurried out of the room and greeted him with cupped hands.The eunuch didn't talk nonsense, and asked Wang Xiubo to change his clothes to enter the official, and the emperor summoned him.Wang Xiubo didn't dare to stay, he hurriedly changed into decent clothes, and followed the eunuch into the palace.

The reason why the emperor invited Wang Xiubai into the palace was for Wang Xiujin to build a workshop. The answer written by Wang Xiubai that day was different from Wang Xiujin's idea, but the meaning was the same. One simply threw out a good plan to build a workshop, and the other proposed A set of safeguards.The emperor was moved by the interests mentioned in Wang Xiujin's letter, and he didn't agree immediately, because there were too many involved, and the emperor had to consider why Wang Xiujin's attitude towards the wounded soldiers was different, because he wanted to sell to the Li family?Or do you want something else?As an emperor, he often doesn't think of one person's actions as simple, especially Wang Xiujin is too smart.

Wang Xiubo knelt down respectfully, and when he heard the announcement of "get up", he slowly got up, lowered his head and glanced at the sides, Wang Xiubo raised his heart, if he guessed correctly, the emperor invited him to have an audience alone.

"A few days ago, Wang Xiujin sent a letter to my emperor's son. In the letter, he said that there is a good plan. If it succeeds, it can make a lot of money every day." The emperor said calmly.

Wang Xiubai's calf is weak, why didn't brother Xindao come up with this good strategy earlier, with this method, where is it necessary for him to go to Beijing to catch the exam, he can do it if he has a good reputation. "Young brother has been smart since he was a child."

"I think he is not only smart, but also bold." The Son of Heaven sneered, and Wang Xiujin knelt down in fright. Although he didn't know what bold thing his brother had done, he had to protect him.

"Young and young, act straightforwardly, please forgive me." Wang Xiubo kowtowed.

The emperor looked at Wang Xiubai, but didn't speak, just tapped the case with his finger.Wang Xiubai's heart rose higher and higher following the sound of the pointer, but he gritted his teeth and held on.Seeing Wang Xiubai's appearance, the Son of Heaven nodded, and Fang called out.Wang Xiubo did not dare to relax, kowtowed his head again before getting up, just when he stood up, he saw the eunuch handed over a letter, reminding him in a low voice, the contents of the letter were copied from Wang Xiujin's writing.After Wang Xiubai opened it, he quickly read it, lamenting in his heart, his brother's courage is indeed great. "Your Majesty, the students thought that my younger brother was out of genuine affection, and they must have thought of this method after hearing that the wounded soldiers were living unhappily."

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Wang Xiubo couldn't help mentioning it, and wanted to speak again, but the emperor waved his hand, and Wang Xiubai had no choice but to back down.Thought this matter would annoy the emperor, Wang Xiubo was already ready to go home, but what he expected was an imperial decree referring to marriage.
