Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 532
Early the next morning, Fan Ning came to Shuyuan Street. Although he initially relied on strange stones to make money, now the importance of strange stones in his life has become less and less, and his feeling for the strange stone museum has also become weaker and weaker. Before leaving Beijing for Quanzhou, Fan Ning wanted to clean up the Kistler Hall again.

Since the Kistler Hall was burned down last time, it has now been renovated. Fan Tiege has continued to expand and nibble at it, buying the land behind at high prices. The total area of ​​the Kistler Hall has reached [-] acres, and the storefront is [-] feet wide. It is already out-and-out The largest strange stone museum in Beijing, Zhao Zhen personally inscribed the name of the store: Shanshui Fanshi.

This is the third time to change the name of the store. Although changing the name of the store has always been a taboo in business, Fan Tiege's Qishi Museum has not been affected at all, and the business has become more prosperous.

When Fan Ning arrived, he happened to see his second uncle instructing the staff to hang a large gold plaque weighing tens of catties on the main entrance, and erected a large flag on the opposite side of the street. big characters.

"Second uncle, do you want to change the name of the store?" Fan Ning asked jokingly.

"It's Aning who's back!"

Fan Tiege scratched his head and smiled: "No change, just use the name Shanshui Fanshi, which is a gift from the emperor, and there is our family's fan character in it, Fan Shi, this name is well chosen, with a pun, and it is worthy of being the emperor. "

Fan Ning smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I have something to do with you!"

"Go and sit inside!"

The two uncles and nephews sat down on the second floor, and Fan Tiege served tea again. Fan Ning pondered for a while and said, "Does Second Uncle want to develop in Quanzhou?"

"Don't go!"

Fan Tiege flatly refused, "Those two brats asked you to convince me! You go and tell them that I will not help them open a textile workshop, I have my own business, let them find someone else!"

Fan Ning was a little embarrassed, he was indeed invited by Ming Ren and Ming Li to invite Fan Tiege to go south, but he didn't expect Fan Tiege to refuse.

After a moment of silence, Fan Ning said: "The business of the two brothers is getting bigger and bigger. Both of them will go to sea, and each will take a route. In this way, Quanzhou urgently needs a trustworthy person to sit in the town, whether it is to manage the textile workshop or the commercial firm. In fact, I also think that the second uncle is the most suitable."

Since it was Fan Ning who proposed it, it would be difficult for Fan Tiege to reject it explicitly. He sighed and said, "It stands to reason that I only have these two sons, so I should help them, but I have stayed in the capital for more than ten years. Step by step, the museum has become the largest Kistler Museum in the capital. I am also the vice president of the Kistler Club in the capital. Every time I participate in the selection of Kistlers, there is no one in Beijing who likes Kistlers that I don’t know. Fan, it’s very fulfilling, you know? I’m not only doing business to make money, I’m also enjoying life, I really like this kind of life, let me give up all of this suddenly, and consider my feelings?”

Fan Ning can fully understand the mood of the second uncle. He poured all his emotions and efforts into the Kistler Pavilion. It can be said that the Kistler Pavilion is his life. The second son dragged his father to the store in order to find someone to watch it. This is true. A little unreasonable.

Fan Ning nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Second Uncle will stay in the capital and continue to run the Kistler Museum, let Fan Mingxuan go to Quanzhou, and then let Lu Min assist Second Uncle."

Fan Mingxuan is the eldest son of Fan Dazhi, the patriarch of the Fan clan. He is about 27 and eight years old. He is very shrewd and capable. It's a pity, Fan Ning originally wanted Fan Mingxuan to take over from his second uncle, but since his second uncle refused to go to Quanzhou, let Fan Mingxuan take over for Mingren and Mingli.

"You asked Amin to help me?"

Fan Tiege asked in surprise: "Didn't they work hard and take another exam?"

Both Lu Min and Zhu Qi failed in this year's imperial examination, and it was too late for them to worship Ouyang Xiu as their teacher. However, since they have a famous teacher to guide them, they both decided to take the exam again in three years.

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Because we are not in the capital anymore, I hope Lu Min has time to help Second Uncle, and then Second Uncle will introduce him to some people."

Fan Tiege nodded, "I understand."

After pondering for a while, Fan Ning said again: "In addition, mine is divided into two in the Kistler Pavilion, half for Zhu Pei, and half for Ouyang Qian. Ouyang Qian's share will send [-] coins to her father Ouyang Xiu every month."

At present, Fan Ning has [-]% of the property in Qishiguan, which is under his mother's name, and Fan Tiege accounts for [-]%. Once Fan Ning's property is separated, he will not care about it. The property will belong to his two wives in the future.

"I have no opinion on this, you assign it yourself!"

Fan Tiege took out a kit from his bosom, poured out half a piece of jade pendant from it, put it on the table and pushed it to Fan Ning, "Your profits have been here for more than ten years, a total of 2 taels of gold, and I got it from Ming Ren." The exchange is stored in your own Zhu's money shop, and the password is the dog raised by your grandmother, Da Heizi, I am ashamed, I have spent a lot on buying mines and shops over the years, and I could have spent a little more."

Fan Ning pushed the jade pendant back, "I don't need it for the time being, so I put it here with my second uncle. I have something to discuss with my second uncle."

"whats the matter?"

Fan Ning scratched his head and smiled, "I'm a little embarrassed to speak, I want to take Tian Huangshi from the lipstick box in the Mudu warehouse."

Fan Tiege's face changed, and he asked with wide eyes, "You take them all?"

Fan Ning nodded, "It's not much anyway, only 81 yuan in total,"

"It's not many anyway. The 81 Tianhuang stones were carefully selected from tens of thousands of Tianhuang stones in a month. They are the best of the best. Do you want me to live?"

"Second Uncle, it's the same when you sell other stones. I want to keep the 81 Tianhuang stones for myself."

"Are you sure you don't want to give it away?" Fan Tiege stared at Fan Ning.

"Occasionally I will give two yuan, like my father-in-law, the queen mother and the emperor, and a few prime ministers. I won't give it to others."

Fan Tiege was heartbroken, and he put forward another condition, "Your Xishan Traveling Stone, Green Coral and Cuiyun Peak will all be sent to my store as my treasures in the town hall. In addition, your Fengcha will be given to you again." I'm thirty pounds, I'm addicted to drinking, and the market can't buy it yet."

Fan Ning laughed loudly, "I will give my second uncle a set of Ru porcelain official kiln tea set, and use the official kiln for drinking Fengcha, that will complement each other."

Fan Tiege's face softened a little, and he pushed the jade pendant to Fan Ning again, "Tian Huangshi is yours in the first place, and you can take it away without reproach, I just feel reluctant to part with it, you deserve this 2 taels of gold, so you can take it too, Didn’t you say you wanted to buy an island from the imperial court last time? Just use it to buy it, and if it’s not enough, I’ll give you my share too.”

Fan Ning waved his hand, "Second uncle don't have to worry about buying the island, it can't be achieved in a year or two, so try not to mention it in the future."

Fan Tiege knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he didn't bring up the matter again, and changed the topic: "Last month, your third uncle wrote a letter to the capital, asking me to tell you that he wants to sow the seeds you gave him. He has no idea. You'd better go back and have a look, and your grandmother misses you too, so you should visit her too."

Fan Ning's grandmother, Yang, is a long-lived person. She is already 70 years old, but she is still in good health. The entire Mudu Town and her contemporaries are basically gone, and she is left alive and well.

Fan Ning really wanted to go back to his hometown, visit his grandmother, visit his father's grave, and then take Fan Mingxuan to Quanzhou.

"Second uncle, is there anything else you want to explain?"

"There's nothing else. Tell me those two brats to have more sons and less time to go to sea. That's what I ask of them!"

Coming out of the Qishi shop, Fan Ning came to Zhu Yuanfeng's mansion again. It was not easy for him to come back. He had to meet all those people who had a close relationship with him.

Hearing Fan Ning's arrival, Zhu Yuanfeng personally greeted him out of the gate, "I know you've come to the capital, so when will you come to see my old bone?"

Fan Ning saw that he was in good health and full of energy, so he smiled and said, "If the third grandfather can go to Quanzhou to start a business, I welcome it very much!"

"It's free to go to Quanzhou, but I really have some ideas to chat with you."

The two walked into the guest room, Zhu Yuanfeng asked Fan Ning to sit down, and then let the maid serve tea. Fan Ning took a sip of hot tea and asked with a smile, "Did the third grandfather find a business opportunity?"

Zhu Yuanfeng nodded, "I heard that Mingren and Mingli have set up a large workshop with [-] looms in Quanzhou. Do you think it has a future?"

Fan Ning smiled slightly and said, "To do the math for my third grandfather, a bolt of fine cloth costs [-] Wen and coarse cloth costs [-] Wen in the market. If you go to the village to buy it, you can buy it at a price of [-] Wen each, but Ming Renhe Once Mingli's textile workshop is in operation, the cost of each piece of fine cloth is only [-] Wen, and the cost of coarse cloth is only [-] Wen. If it is invested in the Song Dynasty market, all small workshops will go bankrupt, but he currently only sells Overseas, the Song Dynasty market will not be touched for the time being, does third uncle understand what I mean?"
