During the years when Li Jiangshi's family was the supervisor of the raw medicine shop, Xu Xuan discovered that the supply of medicinal materials in Li Jiangshi's family was extremely sufficient and there was never any need to worry about the lack of medicine.

Later, he learned that when the veteran general was young, he saved the life of a Hu merchant. The man ran a medicinal material business in the north and happened to hit it off with the Li family, so he gave the medicinal material to the Li family at a slightly lower price to repay the other party's life-saving grace.

With this, the veteran general gradually rose up and made his own medicine shop famous in Lin'an Mansion. However, his ambitions ended here and he did not think of going further. After all, although the veteran general general was a businessman, he was not an ambitious person who pursued profits, but also a vicious businessman who was morally corrupt.

Xu Xuan met the veteran in the study and did not apologize. Instead, he said four words to the veteran - cunning rabbit three holes. This immediately aroused the veteran's curiosity. Then Xu Xuan began to state his ideas. He told the veteran: The raw medicine shop is the foundation for the Li family to establish his life, but it is too dangerous to run a raw medicine shop alone. Once something happens, it will be a situation of sacrificing the whole country. The Li family has a lot of people, and it will gradually increase. If the source cannot be opened as soon as possible, it will inevitably lead to a deficit.

Therefore, opening a new branch of the Li family's raw medicine shop is the top priority. However, opening a branch is not easy. Lin'an Mansion's raw medicine business has long been divided up, and needles cannot be inserted or water cannot be poured in. Therefore, the risk of opening a branch in Lin'an is too high.

In this way, the Li family had one choice and opened a raw medicine shop in other prefectures. But the problem is here. If there is no official who is very knowledgeable, the raw medicine shop will definitely not be able to be opened. Xu Xuan's opportunity is here, and he put forward a condition that a veteran cannot refuse.

Xu Xuan's raw medicine is purchased by the veteran Shi family, and he is only responsible for selling and selling it. The profits earned by Xu Xuan Deqi and Li Family Deqi. However, three years later, the raw medicine shop run by Xu Xuan will automatically belong to the Li family, and Xu Xuan can only occupy 20% of the shares. If the raw medicine shop makes a loss, then Xu Xuan will work for the Li family for the rest of his life to repay the losses.

In short, according to this clause, the Li family will make a stable profit and never lose any accident! This is in line with the mentality of the veterans seeking stability, so the two sides finally got together.

Without spending a penny, Xu Xuan got the most important source of goods for business without spending a penny, which was already the greatest success. Now, he only needs one opportunity and a little start-up capital to rent a store.

After going home, he took out the little silver that had been saved for many years. Xu Xuan bought roast goose, fresh fish, etc., a table full of banquets, and another pound of roast wine. He sat at the table and quietly waited for his brother-in-law Li Ren to return.

The one who came back first was his sister Xu Jiaorong. Xu Jiaorong put down the vegetables she bought to cook, immediately started to make a fuss and asked: "Hanwen, we are all your closest relatives. If you can't explain anything clearly, why do you have to spend so much money?"

Xu Xuan smiled slightly, not annoyed. He knew very well about his sister's nature. Xu Xuan said: "Sister, we may not meet each other for a long time, so my younger brother will fix this table of wine and food, and just serve as a separate banquet!"

Xu Jiaorong was shocked and asked quickly: "Why did Chinese Wen say this?"

Seeing Xu Jiaorong's anxious face turned pale, Xu Xuan hurriedly said to comfort him: "Sister, don't panic. Hanwen is going to run a pharmacy shop with Li Jiangshi's family, so I may not return to Lin'an for a long time!"

After hearing the explanation, Xu Jiaorong immediately turned surprised and joy, and then fell into deep worries. Xu Jiaorong asked, "The advantage of the veteran general Shi family is not that easy to take. Chinese, you didn't suffer any losses!"

Xu Xuan smiled and slowly relieved Xu Jiaorong's nervousness until she relaxed, she said, "How could the veteran Shigudao take advantage of me? But I have something to ask my brother-in-law for help."

Xu Jiaorong said: "Today, the county master told him to go to the countryside to do business, and he would come back a little later."

Xu Xuan said: "It's okay, I'll wait for my brother-in-law!"

Xu Jiaorong didn't say much, turned around and entered the inner room. After a while, he came out again, holding a small box in his hand. Xu Jiaorong said to Xu Xuan, "Hanwen, come here!" Xu Jiaorong was only seven or eight years older than Xu Xuan, but both of them died since childhood. As the saying goes, "The elder sister is like a mother!"

Xu Jiaorong has always been the ignorant Xu Xuan, but in terms of relationships, Xu Jiaorong is like Xu Xuan's mother. Now, Xu Xuan has finally decided to step out of her wings and prepare to fight alone, which makes her mood excited and complicated.

She stroked the phoenix-patterned gold-painted red paint box, and seemed reluctant to leave her eyes. She immediately opened the box and said, "Hanwen, when you go out to do business, you must not be without capital. This is some private houses I have saved up, and some gold and silver jewelry, which is about thirty-seven or eight taels of silver. You can take it together!"

After pausing, she said again: "These were originally intended to be used for your wedding, but now that you are motivated, how can my sister not support me?"

Xu Xuan smiled, fearing that if he didn't smile, he would cry immediately. Xu Xuan did not refuse for a moment. He put away the gold-painted box, then looked up at the sky, and said to Xu Jiaorong: "Sister, don't worry, the future of the Xu family depends on me!"

When the stars were everywhere, Li Ren finally returned home. He could hear his greetings with his neighbors from afar, and his voice was loud.

Before Li Ren entered the house, he smelled the aroma of wine and meat and said happily: "What kind of happy day is today? It's so rich!" When he stepped into the door, he immediately saw Xu Xuan and Xu Jiaorong sitting opposite each other, which was very warm.

Xu Jiaorong said: "Today is the wine and meat for Chinese culture to renovate this table! You can enjoy it slowly!" After that, he went to the inner room! Li Ren was not polite, and after taking the table, he first took a goose leg and started to bite it. Xu Xuan was also annoyed and poured a glass of wine for Li Ren and waited slowly.

Li Ren ate it cleanly, then picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said, "My uncle is bad money today, and he must have some ideas. We are all close relatives, just say it directly!"

When dealing with Li Ren, Xu Xuan was no longer as perfunctory as he was to Xu Jiaorong. Li Ren was in the public office and was the lowest-level official. It can be said that what he had seen was a hundred times more than the simple Xu Xuan. He told him his plans and asked Li Ren to pick up on his faults, which would be absolutely no harm.

The two of them ate and talked until the cup and plate were in a mess and Li Ren became three points drunk before the end.

Li Ren pointed to Xu Xuan and said, "Hanwen was confused all his life, and this time he finally made the right decision. The veteran general didn't seem to suffer any loss, but he didn't understand the truth. To be honest, Hanwen, you are going to make a few pharmacies shops, and my brother-in-law will support you unscrupulously!"

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "My brother-in-law's vision is indeed sharp, good. Hanwen has never thought of only building a raw medicine shop. I am going to open a raw medicine shop in Zhenjiang or Suzhou for the time being, accumulate some experience and lessons, and wait for a year or two to do another big fight!"

Li Ren laughed and said, "Hanwen is so dishonest. Even I have to hide it. You are planning to open up a new source of raw medicine by yourself so that you will not always get stuck in your throat after leaving home, right?"

"I am really awesome in my life, and my heart is as big as God! But I want to give a piece of advice to Chinese!"

"Han Wenxue listens attentively!"

"Everything is not as difficult as imagined, nor as easy as imagined! You must be mentally prepared to suffer and suffer!" Li Ren sighed in his heart, his tone was bleak, and he was obviously inspired.

Xu Xuan smiled calmly and said, "If Chinese literature fails this time, it will be successful and will not leave any way out for himself!"

Li Ren said: "That's good! The two ends of the head and rat will definitely not get any benefits!" Then he changed the topic and said: "I guess the Chinese language is not enough!"

Xu Xuan couldn't hide it, and said readily: "That's true, I hope my brother-in-law can support you!"

Li Ren pondered for a while and said, "Since ancient times, I have been helping the urgent but not the poor. I cannot help but support Chinese affairs, but my brothers still have to settle the score clearly!"

Xu Xuan was a cheerful person and nodded, "That's natural, I won't lose a penny of the interest I should pay!"

Li Ren calculated silently and said slowly: "It doesn't take too much money to open the first shop. Buying a pair of raw medicine cabinets and renting a shop will be done gradually. Is it enough to lend you forty taels of silver?"

Xu Xuan shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, I just tried water in the first year. The key is to open up the source of raw medicine from the north and south and socializing. If there is no 100 taels of silver, it is probably not enough. Moreover, I have to train some people since I was a child to prepare to be the future raw medicine supervisor. Forty taels of silver is not enough anyway!"

Li Ren thought for a moment and said, "Okay! What you said is reasonable, but a hundred-two silver is not a small amount. I don't have such a lot of cash here. At most, I can only support you eighty taels. If you have more, there will be nothing!"

After saying that, Li Ren smiled embarrassedly, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed, and said, "I have a clan uncle who does a pharmacy shop business in Zhenjiang. Maybe where can you try your luck? How about I write a letter to let him take you into the industry?"

This is Xu Xuan’s real purpose. It is very dangerous to take risks in a new business without connections. At this time, there are guilds in every industry. The first one is not allowed to enter the industry by opening a store at will. If you don’t have anyone familiar with it, you will definitely be able to get rid of your underwear if you can help you lose it!

Xu Xuan was a fool, so he couldn't count on him, so he could only rely on Li Jiangshi and Li Ren. In comparison, Li Ren is naturally more reliable.

Xu Xuan stood up and bowed, saying, "Brother-in-law takes me a little bit, so I'll write down the document now! But we don't have a guarantor, what should we do?"

Li Ren waved his hand and said, "It's enough to write down the documents. Our closest relatives, what else do we need to protect us!"

Xu Xuan turned around and returned to the room, even his steps were lighter. He lit the oil lamp and deliberately lit the wick. Now his bright future is right in front of him, and there is no need to save this little lamp oil!

Grind ink and write!

A document was completed with one touch! Although Xu Xuan did not have the ability to rely on Ma Qianyan, a mere document was still no problem. He was neatly thin gold in a row, and wrote the agreement with Li Ren clearly, and the annual profit was also clearly written in black and white.

Xu Xuan checked it again, without any flaws. He was very satisfied and turned around and walked out!
