Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 853
It is best for this person to be a businessman, who has been a buddy or shopkeeper, and has lived in Hangzhou for a long time. Only by doing this can he feel like a fish in water.Zhao Yingong thought, it's a pity that similar adventures won't happen again, and now I'm afraid there won't be another retired shopkeeper whose grandson got malaria to invite him.

While thinking about it, the follower came to report: Robber Spring is here.

"Bring him here quickly!" Zhao Yingong's spirits lifted when he heard this.

Within a few minutes, the servant brought Zhang Yingchen over.Zhang Yingchen looked a little haggard, but the Taoist robe on his body was very clean. Although it looked like an old garment at first glance, there were patches on it.Zhao Yingong was a little strange - this is not a new Taoist robe designed by the Taoist priest himself.And he hasn't acted with them for a few days, so there is no dusty smell at all.Obviously there is a place to stay.

It seems that Zhao Yingong's doubts have been seen: "I am now staying in a small Taoist temple outside Yongjin Gate." He said, "This Taoist robe was given to me by the Taoist priest who presided over the horse. Taoist Ma is a very good person, and he looks good Count as a talent..."

"You're really good, and I'll get you started as soon as you arrive in Hangzhou?"

"Where?" Zhang Yingchen said, "I have been walking around Hangzhou for the past two days to see if there is any suitable place to place an order. When I walked to Qingyun Temple, the presiding Taoist priest there was ill—you know me He is a Chinese medicine doctor, and he still has some emergency medicines on him, which will take effect immediately after one dose. This is the final order."

"You really deserve it." Zhao Yingong laughed loudly, "Your survival skills are not bad. You can definitely survive wearing it alone."

"I also have confidence in this." Zhang Yingchen said, "Don't have to say, how many people in the Senate are willing to go deep into Li District alone? In fact, it's okay to go, Li District is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. Of course, I have been sick several times. , but with the help of modern medicine, I survived."

"Stop boasting. Let's talk about starting work in Hangzhou first." Zhao Yingong told him all the issues he had considered.

"I'd like to ask for your opinion. I don't dare to start with a 'commercial flow' like Xiao Guo. In this place where there are so many scholars, and Jinshi is full of people, first set yourself up as a businessman. There is a great disadvantage in breaking into the circle of scholars."

Although the industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, the "reactionary trend of thought" that "all things are based on money" has been derived, the status of merchants has been greatly improved, and the gentry have more or less joined in the operation of industry and commerce, but generally speaking, the relationship between scholars and businessmen There is still a considerable gap between them.The status of the two is still not comparable.

"But if you want to make friends with scholars, I'm afraid you won't be able to talk in your current capacity." Zhang Yingchen unabashedly pointed out the main contradiction.

"That's right!" Zhao Yingong nodded, "I'm just a pseudonymous scholar who can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius. It's obviously hopeless to impress the local scholars with 'literary talent'—or I'll plagiarize Nalan Xingde's words ? Why don't you just take a note of Wang Ba and quickly flip through *** poems?" He smiled wryly.

"You're talking about minutiae. It's a dream to earn literary fame by relying on a few lines of poems." Zhang Yingchen disagreed, "Isn't this a disguised 'kingdom', it has no future." He looked at Zhao Yingong, " I think you should at least learn how to talk to the local scholars first, and their style of conversation—it’s very natural for me in Taoist temples, because I am familiar with Taoist priests’ conversations, classics, and their living habits.”

"You are right." Zhao Yingong touched his chin, "It seems that I have to recite the Analects of Confucius."

"Actually, it's not just the Analects of Confucius. Last time I went to a lecture, according to Yu Eshui, a scholar must at least be familiar with the Thirteen Classics to the point of reciting them fluently. You think you are chatting with a group of Confucian scholars, and people have to pull out a few sentences, you ass I don't understand, people don't treat you like a fool?"

Zhao Yingong's complexion became not so good - he was a little afraid of the endorsement, but what Zhang Yingchen said was very reasonable. It seems that this kind of strength must be used. Back then, he worked hard in the training class of the Intelligence Bureau to follow a The scholar has practiced his brush calligraphy hard, and he can basically take it out to meet people now.

"Also, it doesn't matter if you don't become a businessman yourself, but it doesn't mean that your family has no property. People from both the mountain and the sea will follow suit. When they open, you choose one to be the proprietor. If you say it, it will be very famous—this Time and space, the one who is rich is the uncle."

The Jiangnan layout of the Shanhai Road was originally to be fully rolled out in 1630, but it was delayed because of the anti-encirclement war.So far, only Wanyou has completed the layout of Nanjing and Qingjiangpu on the mountain road.Hailu's Qiwei has just set up an outer cabinet in Nanjing and Shanghai.

In contrast, Delong's expansion was much faster. After the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, through negotiations with Li Luoyou, Li Luoyou finally agreed to act as the joint venture acceptor for Delong.Through this method, Delong was able to expand the scope of remittance and exchange to Jiangnan and Beijing.In the next step, Cheng Dong plans to open direct sales stores in Beijing and South China.

Delong's rapid expansion is firstly to collect money, and secondly to provide financial support for the next step of the mainland strategy. In the future, the dispatched agencies of the Senate will dispatch a large amount of funds in a very wide range, and urgently need a financial network.

As the "industry" of the veteran, it is very favorable for Wanyou to be a North-South goods firm.Zhang Yingchen's suggestion that Zhao Yingong be the boss is indeed a reasonable and reasonable arrangement.

"Well, I am a little enlightened when you say that." Zhao Yingong said, "I really wanted to get involved in the silk weaving industry, but I have always had concerns. You are right: it will be easy with the Wanyou brand. .It’s just that there must be a good shopkeeper.”

"It's not busy, just look for it slowly. When the property is big, people will come to seek refuge. Good birds choose trees to live in." Zhang Yingchen said.

Zhao Yingong asked: "Do you plan to continue placing orders in Taoist temples next?"

"Of course," Zhang Yingchen nodded, "Qingyun Temple is a small Taoist temple, and it is also a poor Taoist temple. There are less than ten people including Taoist Huoju, so it is easy to master. I plan to sign up for medical treatment there and make a little name for it— ―By the way, I would like to spread my new Taoism to the Taoists in this temple. There are a few good-looking little Taoists in it, and I think they are all talents to make."

The two decided on the method and code word for communication.A pattern of regular contact is developed.Zhao Yingong wanted to give him part of the supplies and money he brought with him, but Zhang Yingchen refused:
"I don't need these things, it's easy to get sunken. If you have extra Chinese patent medicine, just give me a little more. I don't have much use for the money, so I'll ask you for it when I need it."

After sending off the Taoist priest, Zhao Yingong walked around the study for a few times, feeling that there were many things that should be done, but he didn't know where to start.Finally, he stopped: "Come on! Change clothes!"

Instead of thinking wildly in the study and doing "planning", it is better to go out now.Maybe there is an adventure, and it is unknown, maybe you can get some inspiration.Come up with a whole new idea.By the way, you can also see if there are suitable children who can buy a few good education.Although Feng Hua has undergone strict training, but after all, he is born with deficiencies, and he should be well-trained from an early age to be suitable.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Feng Hua hastily poured the wash water over.The waiter washed his face and brought a new set of clothes—this was made by a local tailor in Guangzhou before departure, and it was the latest Ming Dynasty clothing.The cutting of materials is very particular.

Feng Hua helped him put on his clothes.This is a light blue straight gown embroidered with hundreds of flowing clouds and gold, and a blue scarf embroidered with red flowers.Zhao Yingong looked in the mirror, and always felt that wearing the clothes was similar to singing an opera.Especially this hijab, isn't it too gorgeous for a man?

Feng Hua was helping him to dress, while smiling with the corners of his mouth pursed.

"Well, what are you laughing at?" he asked while wearing a hood. "What am I not funny about now?"

"I don't dare!" Feng Hua hurriedly said, "I feel that the current master is very different from before, and he is like a different person."
"Oh?" Zhao Yingong said, "Do you think I look like a local person?"

"Of course not." Feng Hua shook his head, "Let's talk about the figure and bearing of the master, how many people are there in the street? Once the master goes out, the people on the street will probably never forget it after seeing it."

Hearing this, Zhao Yingong couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can flatter me."

Feng Hua stopped answering, and helped him tidy up his clothes carefully, and brought him a real Japanese folding fan. Folding fans were still relatively expensive playthings in the Ming Dynasty, and they were not as popular as they were in the Qing Dynasty. Although they had been domesticated in Japan Folding fans made in Japan and North Korea are still luxury items.

The intelligence bureau identified Zhao Yingong as the son of a wealthy family from Guangdong, and all the clothes and utensils were equipped according to this requirement. Of course, some overseas atmosphere should be revealed-Guangzhou is a foreign port after all.Of course, it also paves the way for Zhao Yingong to have a steady stream of foreign goods.

Sun Wang then ordered two powerful bodyguards to accompany him as guards.These two bodyguards were actually trained in the General Political Security Bureau, and they were responsible for the security work of the veteran himself.An Aboriginal intelligence officer trained by the Foreign Intelligence Service acts as a valet.Finally, another Hangzhou local servant named Cai Shi was called to act as a guide.

Cai Shi was only recruited in the last few days - he was originally a servant of the house, and he lost his job after the original owner moved out, so this time he was re-employed.

A group of people went out of the house - because they were not sure where they were going, they didn't use the sedan chair, but just walked along the street.They live near Qinghefang, which is basically the residences of rich families, there are almost no shops along the street, and there are few pedestrians on the bluestone road.

"Master, please tell me: where to go first?" Cai Shi asked as he saw that he was about to reach the alley.
