Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 2668

Zhou Lezhi didn't know what the master's supernatural power was until later.But at that time, these rumors only added another layer of mystery to Mr. Zhou.

It has been several months since he came to Mr. Zhou's side, and both Mr. Zhou and Wang Yehao trust him very much.Gradually, the conversation between the two stopped sending him away, but kept him by his side.Wang Liang said that he was treated as a "confidant".

Given his status as Mr. Zhou's "disciple", this treatment is not too much.According to the rules, the master-student relationship is comparable to father and son.But these days, Zhou Lezhi can clearly feel that the husband does not completely trust him. He has a vague defense, not only for himself, but also for Master Wang and other people in the palace.

There is a sense of loneliness in Mr.Although according to Zhou Lezhi's opinion, his life is good enough, and his future is even brighter.With Master Wang's current ability, even if Zhou Lezhi wanted to be a small official, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

People with knowledge and skills are probably a little weird.

Be eccentric or mysterious.Zhou Lezhi still has a good impression of this gentleman.The first is to treat him sincerely, to do his best when teaching his studies, and to answer every question; sometimes, seeing that he doesn’t quite understand, we have to give him extra lessons, and we have to break it down and explain it clearly; second. It is that there is no habit of the superior to oppress others.No matter Mr. Zhou is polite to everyone, he never makes unreasonable demands, and he will not use his status to oppress and abuse his apprentices.Based on this alone, Zhou Lezhi felt that he was a rare gentleman.

Originally, he was somewhat guilty of being an "undercover agent", but since he found out that Mr. Zhou is an upright person, except for some widow's illnesses, he has no shady secrets. Feel at ease.

The days in Shaoxing were not short, and Mr. Zhou was not idle. He traveled around the mountains and rivers, and whenever he saw the poor livelihood of the people and the hardships of the people, he always showed a look of intolerance.But he never said anything.During the period, he wandered in the market and was very curious to see the livelihood of the shop workers.After returning, he will use his "vernacular" to write notes.

Because Mr. Zhou's handwriting was really ugly, Zhou Lezhi had to copy his notes in lower case as usual.Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to see it.

As for the content of the notes, they can be described as varied.Urban conditions, rural phenomena, business forms, craftsmanship skills, daily life of the people, prices and local customs... There are all kinds of things, all inclusive.Zhou Lezhi didn't understand why Mr. Do these things?
He couldn't help asking Mr. Zhou, but Mr. Zhou replied: "I'm thinking about how to make money."

Zhou Lezhi didn't know how to make money, so he had to keep his mouth shut.Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou asked him again: "What do you think is the best way to earn money in this world?"

"Official!"

"This can't be counted." Mr. Zhou shook his head helplessly, "When an official makes money, that's not doing business, but stealing the blood of the people. If you want to put it this way, can't you get a lot of money by being a thief? Be serious. It cannot be an illegal business.”

"That goes without saying, Mister's magic medicine!" Zhou Lezhi admired Mr.'s medicine that "works in one dose". No matter what kind of magic doctor, he said that "sickness goes away like silk", and a big bowl of decoction lasts for a month or two. , He has seen a lot of things where money is gone and people are gone.Only this week Mr. Zhou's medicine can be said to have immediate results.

Mr. Zhou showed a guilty smile, and said, "Although the medicine is good, getting sick is always a bad thing. Besides, opening a medicine store can't make the business prosperous. There are other things."

"Going to the sea to sell foreign goods." Zhou Lezhi said, "We in Guangdong have the most people going to sea to sell foreign goods. The small capital of 30 taels of silver, whether it is Eastern or Western, as long as you can come back safely, it will be profitable once you go out, and profitable again when you come back." , it’s so easy to earn twice the profit back and forth, and if you’re lucky, you can also have three or five times the profit. It’s just..."

"Just what?"

"It's bad luck. The ship capsized and was caught by pirates. If you can escape with your life and come back, you are lucky. How many people never come back."

"The risk is too great, let alone. What else?"

"Anything else?" Zhou Lezhi thought, is this gentleman asking himself a question?Speaking of weekdays, Mr. Zhou also often lectures on "economics".He thought for a moment and said, "What's more, it is to open a pawn shop. Low borrow high loans, sit and collect interest. The money is rolling..."

"Hehe, you're right. Finance is indeed the place where money comes in the fastest." Mr. Zhou couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "But this business requires a lot of capital and a large threshold to support it."

Zhou Lezhi said, "If Mr. Wang wants to do this business, isn't Mr. Wang a ready-made threshold?"

The gentleman laughed but did not answer, and continued: "What if the bank can't do it?"

"Then...then become a rice merchant!"

"Rice merchant?"

"Yes, as long as you are a human being in this world, you have to eat when you are alive. Wouldn't it be safe to make money as a rice merchant?"

Mr. Zhou laughed loudly, and said: "You are right. Well, it is indeed good to be a rice merchant. However, a rice merchant is just moving in the middle, seeking profit from the capital. He does not grow rice himself. If he meets Natural disasters and man-made disasters, there is no rice to sell, and we can only stare blankly."

"Sir, what do you think makes money?" Zhou Lezhi asked out of curiosity.

"If so, open a factory to make cheap objects that everyone can use."

"Why don't you make magic medicine?"

For a moment, Mr. Zhou's eyes flickered, and he said hastily: "The magic medicine...it can't be counted. After all, it is a magic medicine. There are too many prerequisites...just the raw materials...um, um, I can't get it together..."

Then he immediately changed the topic: "In fact, there are many cheap things that everyone uses. For example, soap... Yes, you call it pancreas; and matches, which are better than flint and scythe..."

That day the master talked about a lot of useful little things with great enthusiasm. Zhou Lezhi had never heard of them. Hearing what the master said so well, he felt itchy again, and said, "Sir, since the things are so good, why don't you ask Master Wang to pay for them?" How about setting up a factory? Both you and Master Wang can make money."

"Ah, ah, you think I don't want to. But doing these things is easy to say, but it's actually difficult. There are so many things to know, and there is no way to start..."

In the evening, Zhou Lezhi reported the conversation between himself and his husband to Wang Liang.Unexpectedly, he was called over by Master Wang the next day.He said this again.Wang Yehao twirled his beard for a long time before he said, "Does he really plan to make money in business?"

"It looks like a joke, but it doesn't seem to be." Zhou Lezhi said cautiously.

"If he really means it, just follow him."

Zhou Lezhi thought that Mr. Wang was also very enthusiastic about making money.

Wang Yehao spent many days in Shaoxing.He took care of the housework and called on magistrates and local gentry.By the way, he also helped the husband to get the household registration——Zhou Lezhi only knew that the husband was still a black householder.

After finishing the work, Mr. Wang set off to return to Beijing.In addition to adding a lot of luggage, there is also a 40-year-old scholar with a depressed face in the team.The identity of this person is a bit strange, he is actually a prisoner.

When did the lord official escort the prisoners?Zhou Lezhi felt quite strange.But it's inconvenient to ask more questions, just go with the team.

A group of people came to Hangzhou all the way by boat or sedan chair.Only then did I board the boat at Dimishi Wharf four miles outside the Wulin Gate in the north of the city.Wang Yehao's great-uncle Wang Chengxun was the governor of water transportation for more than 20 years and was the last water transportation commander in Ming Dynasty.This time, on the one hand, it was Nine Thousand Years old's "paying service";One is dedicated to Wang Yehao and his personal attendants, one to carry his followers and guards, two to carry all kinds of goods, and two small boats to follow as backup.

After boarding the official ship on the canal, the journey after that was quite pleasant.Combining what he saw and heard on the trip, the gentleman commented and explained.After this trip, Zhou Lezhi only felt that his eyes were wide open. Mr. taught him many methods of thinking and observation, and many people and things that he could not understand in the past.

The teacher said that learning is not only about mastering knowledge, but more about learning to think on the basis of mastering knowledge.

Now he somewhat understands
That night when the boat stopped at Guazhou Ferry, Mr. Wang suddenly came to Mr. Zhou's cabin.Holding the latest residence newspaper from the station with a smile on his face.

"That Jiannu indeed set up a siege in Jinzhou, Mr. has a clever plan, and he is a real god."

"Haha, actually, there's no need to rush this time, they'll leave when the summer gets too hot." Mr. Zhou looked quite complacent.

Zhou Lezhi has a basic understanding of the situation in the world through the study of the past few months, and knows that the two are talking about the Liaodong War.But these words have no beginning and no end, and they are inexplicable.I don't know what the two of them are talking about, I only know that it must be a major military matter, and I just stand respectfully by the side to serve.

"That's good." Not to mention the retreat, even if he said that Jiannu would go directly to the capital, Wang Yehao couldn't believe it. "Sir, you've come all the way, can the two maids work together?"

"It's okay, but it's not convenient on the boat."

Zhou Lezhi laughed secretly, although a single room was specially allocated for the husband, but the cabin is really small and it is inconvenient to do things in London.The gentleman is quite angry.

"In a few days, I will arrive at Yangzhou Mansion. Since ancient times, the affairs of Yangzhou have been the most popular in the world. I wonder if you are interested?" Wang Yehao felt that scribes have the words of scribes, and there are rough incisions in rough blanks. Chatting with Mr. Zhou is not beating around the bush at all. It is better to get straight to the point and be smooth.

"Yes! My lord is really interesting!" The gentleman was quite cooperative.

"Hehe, it's rare for Mr. to have such a good taste. I have also heard of the reputation of Yangzhou's skinny horses. I will definitely travel with you then."

But the gentleman asked something that Wang Yehao didn't know how to answer: "My lord, is there a fat horse?"
