Chapter 40 Ou Zhongda

As soon as Zhou Shixiong returned to the mansion, Gao Fu was already waiting in his yard. When he saw Zhou Shixiong, he hurried forward and said, "Young Master Ji, Master is looking for you, come with me quickly."

"Why is it so urgent? Look at my sweaty body, it's too rude to just go over like this!" It is said that Ruan Phuket Bao knew that Zhou Shixiong had just returned, so he shouldn't be so anxious to find him. Is there something urgent?

"The master told me that when you see Mr. Ji, please come over to see him immediately. I have been waiting here for a long time. I'd better go there quickly." Gao Fu couldn't explain why, but he just urged Zhou Shixiong to leave quickly.

When he arrived at the study, Zhou Shixiong saw Ruan Phuc and Ruan Phuclus Rakuten chatting. He looked calm and peaceful, and there was no hurricane. "Enjoyed father, uncle, Hongchang is polite." Zhou Shixiong came in and saluted the two elders, and then stood beside Ruan Phuclus waiting for him to speak.

"Hongchang, uncle wants you to take him to visit Lang San City, mainly to see the newly built trading area. You are responsible for these matters. I believe no one is more suitable than you." Is such a small matter as urging death to survive? Zhou Shixiong looked at Ruan Phuket in confusion. The old man stroked his beard with one hand and held a teacup with the other, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Enjoyed father, as long as the uncle doesn't dislike Hongchang's stupid mouth, Hongchang should do his best." The tour guide's job is not difficult, and Zhou Shixiong believes that he will not be able to defeat him.

"Well, you go back and rest first. Just look at Gao Fu here." After instructing Ruan Phucbao to rush people, Zhou Shixiong had to salute and leave. He was suspicious all the way. For this trivial matter, would he have to come here immediately?!

Ji Hongchang left the study for a while, and Ruan Phucluo Min seemed to have just come back from his wandering. "Bao'er, this Zi Yingyun is very useful, but his face is a heartless person. If he uses it well, it is not impossible for Ruan Phuc to soar into the sky. If he doesn't use it well, it will be useless to get a bamboo basket!"

"Uncle, Hongchang has helped me solve problems many times and is not very interested in wealth and power. If the child had not persuaded me many times, he would have gone to work hard again." Zhou Shixiong did not intend to stay in Lang Sang Mansion at the beginning, so of course he was not interested in the power of Lang Sang Mansion. After Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang's persuasion, Zhou Shixiong realized that his roots were no longer in Xiangzhou, but looking for a new place to take root, which could be achieved with the help of Nguyen Phuc.

Now Zhou Shixiong is very interested in the power of Lang Sang Mansion, which is far from his previous performance. Ruan Phuc Bao thought it was his credit and was complacent about it.

"I don't have the power and skills, but this guy is a genius." Seeing that Ruan Phucau said so firmly, the old fox thought he had taken a look and could not continue to persuade Ruan Phucau to change his arrangements for Ji Hongchang.

"Uncle, to put it bluntly, how many days can we elders help our descendants? If we don't train some people as soon as possible, the Nguyen Phuc will be out of the blue in twenty years." Nguyen Phuc and Nguyen Phuc Luomin were discussing a very important thing. They are looking for a successor for Nguyen Phuc's next business leader. Nguyen Phuc's thought that Ji Hongchang's adopted son is very suitable. As long as Ji Hongchang is willing to marry a Nguyen Phuc's woman and become a branch of the Nguyen Phuc's family, they are qualified to compete for this position.

Ruan Phuket also admires Ji Hongchang very much, but he believes in physiognomy, thinking that Ji Hongchang's appearance is not good, and his fate is to interrupt his relatives and have no affection. The magical facial art is really powerful. Even if Zhou Shixiong changes his appearance, he will still be seen through his true fate. Time travelers must have cut off relatives. There are more than six relatives separated by two time and space, and all relatives have been broken. What modern people do not value the most is kindness. Gratitude is only talked about in their mouths, and no one will take it seriously.

When Zhou Shixiong returned to the courtyard and saw the four singers, he remembered that he forgot to arrange this matter. It was very troublesome to stay in the mansion. Ruan Phuket Ajiang would definitely teach a lesson after he knew it. Li Jie would also know it. By then, Zhu Ying and the others would know what would happen next, and they would not be able to imagine.

After a while of distress, he finally thought of a way to set up a singer class in the mansion, buy some women to practice singing and dancing, and let the singer come out to perform when he needs a banquet in the future. In the past, Nguyen Phuc Pao, the Lang Sang Mansion, had almost no high-level people to interact with, but now it is different. Lang Sang Mansion and the surrounding three mansions have become allies openly and secretly, and it is too expensive to show off without a certain show. After all, Nguyen Phuc Pao is already a big figure who owns two mansions, and it is a bit unreasonable to wait for the mansion master.

Zhou Shixiong's move was very good. He arranged four singers into the singer class, and the four became the people of the lord's mansion. They had little to do with him, the lord's mansion, and at least had no direct relationship with him. If necessary, Zhou Shixiong could summon women to serve him. It was not responsible for eating for free. What a beautiful setting.

That night, at the dinner that washed away Nguyen Phuclus, Zhou Shixiong mentioned this matter to Nguyen Phuclus in front of Nguyen Phuclus. Nguyen Phuclus thought it made sense and nodded in agreement. Nguyen Phuclus asked Ji Hongchang in confusion, "Hongchang, aren't those four singers serving you wholeheartedly? Why do you have to make such arrangements?"

"Uncle, Hongchang doesn't want to do this either. He is just afraid that his wives and concubines at home are unhappy, so he can only give up his love." Zhou Shixiong confessed that he was afraid of his wife. This self-deprecating method worked very well. Ruan Feiluomin didn't want to hold on to it, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Hongchang has already had a lot of wives and concubines at a young age, and he is still afraid of the problems inside. It's interesting and interesting."

Ruan Phuket is already famous far and wide, and his adopted son also has a common hobby with him, which makes Ruan Phuket very happy. "Hongchang's wives and concubines never leave him when Hongchang was destroyed. Of course, these good women should respect them, Hongchang did a good job."

Two men holding high the banner of fear and celebrating the cup, as if fear and celebrating were a very worthy of celebration, which made Nguyen Phuc Luomin stunned. The father and son are really destined to be together, and others can no longer break them apart.

The next day, Zhou Shixiong served as a guide and led Nguyen Phuclus around the city. He mainly visited the trading area in the city and the auction area in the mansion. Zhou Shixiong introduced the various measures of the trade fair to Nguyen Phuclus. Nguyen Phuclus quickly realized that this simple bamboo shed could lay golden eggs, and once again lamented Ji Hongchang's wonderful ideas. He had been a wealthy businessman for so many years, so why couldn't he think of such a trading method as an ordering agreement!

To put it bluntly, the commodity ordering event was a commodity order. In ancient times, this nature was more prominent. Because there was no modern processing ability, ancient commodities were almost all raw materials. As long as a giant like the Ming Dynasty, hand-processed silk could be made into commodities.

"Uncle, I wonder if you have ever traded with foreign red-haired men and how much do you know about their trading methods." Bulk transactions first appeared in maritime trade. Because the ship's cargo volume was large, a ship could carry dozens to hundreds of carriages, and the owner could not sell such a large number of goods by himself, and wholesalers would be able to produce them. Trading fairs are the main means for wholesalers to trade goods.

"Of course, the maritime merchants have come into contact with a lot, but their goods are too single and the quantity is particularly large. It is difficult for ordinary merchants to eat all the goods. Moreover, even if they eat all the goods, they will be sold for a long time, and the price will not be increased. If it weren't for the fact that many of the goods sold by maritime merchants were rare, it would be difficult to find long-term buyers." Although most of Jiaozhi's land is on the sea, maritime trade is not developed. One is because Jiaozhi is not at peace all year round and is often in a state of war, and no maritime merchant is willing to invest in such a turbulent area.

The second reason is related to the terrain and climate. Malay Governor Preyra, based on Malacca, mainly operates spice business in Southeast Asia. Jiaozhi is an optional useless for Preyra. Caravans from other countries enter the South China Sea and go to Macau from Brunei to Manila, without passing Jiaozhi at all, resulting in Jiaozhi not becoming a suitable condition for the maritime channel.

"My adoptive father is working with Ming officials to operate the business route. I believe my uncle knows it very well. Xiangzhou Elephant Team can transport a large number of goods every time, but the merchants of the Northern Vietnamese and Northern Dynasties can only provide a wide variety of goods, which cannot make the Elephant Team play the greatest role. If there is such an exchange in Shenglongfu that mainly trades bulk goods, I believe this trade route will be more prosperous, and the merchants who host the exchange will also make a fortune." Zhou Shixiong just pointed at his nose and said, "You old man can run one, it's very profitable."

Nguyen Phuc Luomin was very interested in this proposal. He knew that Lang Sang Mansion had a feud with Sheng Long Mansion, and no matter how good Ji Hongchang had, he could not perform it. Lang Sang Mansion was too remote. If this trade fair was successfully held, it would have to rely on the mineral management rights of Beiping Mansion as bait to attract so many wealthy merchants to gather together.

"Why did you come here in person? This small business can also be your eye?" A group of people passed by here and the leader saw Ruan Phuket. He greeted him from a distance, fearing that others would not know that others would have a wide range of faces.

"Qu Zhongda, are you representing the Guangnan District clan or the Li family in Qinghua?" Ruan Phuket-Luomin was not polite to the fat man Qu Zhongda. The first sentence pointed out that he was a wealthy merchant in Guangnan and the main wealthy merchant in the Li Dynasty. It is impossible for him to represent the Li family to be an ordinary person.

"Mr. Ruan Phuc is so praiseful to the younger generation. How can you bear such a big deal with this little weight? I just heard that there was a lively Lang Sang Mansion and it has nothing to do with the Qu family or the Li family." This fat man couldn't tell the age of his face. He could say thirty or fifty, but he was so fat that he didn't have any wrinkles.

"I dare not talk nonsense. I will do business with dozens of cannons. I ask myself that I can't do it, and I'm afraid of the younger generation!" Ruan Phuket-Luomin spared no effort to show the fat man's bottom. At least one thing Zhou Shixiong understood, the Li family could get so many cannons, which was directly related to Qu Zhongda.

Just now, Qu Zhongda deliberately shouted out the name of the old fox, so that many passers-by knew his identity. The old fox seemed to have nothing to do. In a blink of an eye, the old fox lifted Qu Zhongda's veil one after another, and it seemed that if he didn't shake his entire identity, the old fox wouldn't stop.
