The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 25
Seeing a few people taking orders, and seeing some silence, Mu Xu said, "Let's be more casual in private, and besides, we haven't opened yet."

Seeing him turning such a serious matter into a business, several people also laughed.

Then a few people exchanged glasses, and the atmosphere became lively again.

During the meeting, Mu Xu also talked about the difficulties and asked them if they had any good ideas.

Han Qi said, "Everything is inseparable from the word money, the most urgent thing is to raise some money first."

Mu Xu came from a later life, so he understood this truth best, so he nodded immediately.

Wei Ruolan also said, "Even if the money is raised, it's not a long-term solution. In my opinion, we need to find a way to earn money."

It is not difficult for Mu Xu, who is a time traveler, to find a way to get money.But it's inappropriate to think about it. After all, it's for the emperor Laozi. If he pays the money alone, what will the emperor think? Is he trying to buy people's hearts?

Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying's eyes lit up after hearing Wei Ruolan's words, and she said to Mu Xu, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xue Pan?"

Mu Xu's heart moved, and he replied, "Of course I remember, what do you mean?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "Although this Xue Pan is an overlord, his family has been in business for generations. As long as we take advantage of his family's convenience and find some lucrative things, won't we be able to make money?"

Several people thought his idea was good, and Mu Xu also praised, "Ziying's brain is flexible, and this idea of ​​borrowing chickens to lay eggs is really good."

Seeing that Mu Xu agreed with his idea, Feng Ziying was also proud, and immediately added, "Moreover, this matter can kill two birds with one stone. It will not only open up business routes for the future, but also raise money that is urgently needed."

Liu Xianglian wondered, "Then is he willing to hand over his family's business network?"

Mu Xu already understood Feng Ziying's idea in his heart, but Liu Xianglian and the others were still confused, so they didn't interrupt Feng Ziying's show off.

"I had a drink with Xue Pan, and I learned from him that their business is getting worse and worse, and now the qualifications of the imperial merchant may not be able to keep. But if he cooperates with our embroidery guard, if there is Embroidered clothes protector, do you think he is willing?"

Feng Ziying said proudly to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian and the others thought it was true.Seeing that they understood, Mu Xu also added,

"Actually, this matter couldn't be simpler. As long as he is willing to cooperate with us, we can protect his family's business and allow him to be a part-time official. Let him pay some money. Is that what Ziying means?"

Feng Ziying guessed her idea immediately after looking at Mu Xu, and immediately admired it, saying, "That's right, that's exactly what I mean."

Wei Ruolan followed suit, "Since that's the case, why don't we find more merchants, wouldn't it be better?"

Mu Xu shook his head and said, "It's a good idea, but it can't be done now."

Seeing that some people were puzzled, he explained, "I know Xue Pan. Besides, I plan to let Jia Lian handle this matter. I'm not afraid that his family will not agree."

"But other businessmen don't necessarily trust us. They will definitely worry that we will take the opportunity to swallow their business."

"So we have to use the Xue family as an example."

After hearing this, several people realized that they all admired Mu Xu's thoughtfulness.

After solving the important matter of Yin Zi, Mu Xu was very happy, chatting and laughing with a few people, without putting on airs, and they became familiar with them after a while, and they lost their scruples, and they spoke casually.

Feng Ziying had just heard Mu Xu say that Jia Lian was going to persuade Xue's family, so she asked, "Your Majesty, you also want Lian's second brother to work in the Embroidery Guard?"

Mu Xu didn't hide anything and just admitted it.I asked casually,

"But what's wrong?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "What's wrong, I know him very well. Speaking of which, he is really good at handling foreign affairs, and it's just right for him to persuade the Xue family."

Mu Xu also smiled and said, "That's right, that's exactly what I thought. I plan to let him handle the business of our Embroidery Guards in the future."

Thinking of his own plan, he casually said, "We are all from the honorable lineage. Those literati are powerful now, and they try their best to find things for us every day. We shouldn't use our own people more."

All of them were from honorable backgrounds, so naturally they all complained against each other.

Mu Xu saw that it was almost done, and then continued, "So our honorable lineage must also unite. Brothers, you can introduce more friends from honorable backgrounds to work in our embroidery guards when you go back."

"Of course, you must be able to do things. It's better to be deficient than excessive. We don't raise waste here. You must make it clear to them, so that you don't say that I don't give them face when you get it."

When several people heard that there was still such a good thing, they all agreed to it. Whose family has few relatives and old friends. If this matter is done well, it will not only make the Embroidery Guard stronger, but also benefit them a lot.In addition, it is also possible to lose favor with relatives and old friends, and there is no face.

At the moment, except for Liu Xianglian, everyone is thinking about it.

Mu Xu ignored them and started talking to Liu Xianglian.Liu Xianglian just wanted to ask, how did Mu Xu find this place.

Mu Xu said that he went to his house first, Liu Xianglian quickly apologized, Mu Xu said it's okay.

Hearing him ask Tu Rui again, he smiled and told about Tu Rui being taught a lesson by his aunt and being grounded for another month, which made Liu Xianglian smile.

After drinking for a while, it was almost two hours before the crowd dispersed and took their leave.

Mu Xu went back to the mansion, washed up and changed his clothes.Just listen to Mei Jian's report that Concubine Zhang and Princess Wang are invited.

He guessed that the two of them wanted to ask about his errands, and it was true when they went.

Mu Xu told about the errands arranged for him today, and when they heard that Mu Xu was going to the embroidery guard, the two couldn't help but feel worried.

Mu Xu naturally had to persuade them a lot before convincing them.

After leaving Songhetang, Jia Lian had to do it when he remembered that he wanted to use Xue's family.Immediately, someone sent someone to find Yang An.

After returning to the study, Yang An came to see him.

When Yang An came in, Mu Xu first asked about Ma Daopo, but there was still no movement.Can't help frowning, "Forget it, Ma Daopo's side, don't look at it for the time being, I am ordered by the emperor to reorganize the embroidery guards, and I will ask the embroidery guards to investigate."

"However, along with that monk, you still have people keep an eye on Jia's family. Once they show up, get people to report immediately."

Yang An nodded in agreement, and said, "Congratulations to the son for being reused by the emperor."

Mu Xu waved his hand, "There's nothing to congratulate, it's just hard work."

"I asked you to come here because I have something to do. You send someone to Rongguo Mansion and ask Jia Lian to come to the mansion. Just say that I have something to look for him."

Yang An asked, "Are you asking him to come now?"

Mu Xu looked at the hourglass on the table, it was already time, but thinking that he would go to the Xiuyiwei Yamen tomorrow, he might not have time, so he nodded, "Well, if he has nothing to do, please come immediately Come."

Yang An asked Mu Xu if he had any other orders before going out to handle the matter himself.

After Yang An left, Mu Xu thought that Xue Pan's case had not been settled yet. This was also a problem. Since he was going to be used, the case had to be settled.

He couldn't help but frown, it's really not worth it to go to the palace to seek today, but if he doesn't look for today, he really doesn't know what to do. After all, Xue Pan's lawsuit should have been reported to the Ministry of Punishment. You're not good, what kind of relatives are you.

After waiting for about half an hour, Yang An came to report that Jia Lian had arrived.

Mu Xu came to the outer study room, met with Jia Lian, and found that Jia Lian was preoccupied, Mu Xu secretly laughed in his heart, it seemed that what he said last time had worked.

But today it was inconvenient to ask someone about the family's affairs, he didn't keep it secret, he told the matter again, and directly promised Jia Lian the position of Deputy Thousand Household, Jia Lian was overjoyed and agreed.

At the end, he said that he will finish the Xue family's affairs when he returns today.

Seeing his impatient look, Mu Xu was afraid that he would do something bad with good intentions, and it would be bad if he threatened the Xue family. After all, he would use the Xue family as a model for other merchants in the future.

So he told him the conditions he had given to Xue's family, asking Xue Pan to give him a share of the money, allowing him to be an official and a half-job, and he could help his family keep the qualifications of the imperial merchant.He didn't have any idea about his family's business, but just borrowed his family's business route.

Seeing that Jia Lian understood what he meant, Mu Xu didn't let him eat and let him go.

In fact, what he didn't tell Feng Ziying and them was that Jia Lian was not used because he valued his ability, but because he valued the contacts accumulated by several generations of Jia's family in the army.

Because he understands that connections are a very important invisible wealth.No one knows what will happen in the future, it is always good to plan ahead.
