Everyone was angry, and everyone looked at Jiang Xuan with wrong eyes.
"Young man with a yellow mouth, you are so arrogant!"
"How can you be so arrogant if you are just a white person?"
Regardless of their wealth, these rich people do not have a high status in this era, so it is really common for them to be pointed and scolded by these acid scholars. Unless you have really reached the level of a noble family, you can cultivate some literati at home to improve your skills. However, who wants to be scolded, let alone such a young boy?
Jiang Xuan was not afraid of the glares of so many people. He snorted coldly: "I have been studying the art of war for many years. I am a commander-in-chief. I offer my skills to the princes. How can I be compared to you?"
"presumptuous!"
Liu Zheng slammed the wine glass in his hand and threw it to the ground. He looked at Jiang Xuan coldly and said, "Offering the prince to the commander-in-chief? What a big statement! Tell me, what have you given in these days? In addition to being in the county these days, you How can you accomplish anything by eating and drinking in the Marquis?"
"Boundlessly arrogant and arrogant!"
"To be a commander, you must first be a man, and to be a man of etiquette! Which of the uncles here is not your elder, how can I allow you to be so humiliated?"
"What difference does it make between being a human being and being a noble person? After reading a few bad books, do you think you are superior to others?"
"In my eyes, you are worse than a bed bug!"
Liu Zheng was so angry that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to take Jiang Xuan with him. Could it be that I am really trying to encourage the young people to grow? He knew that Jiang Xuan was talented, but his temper was too sharp, which was not good for him, so he wanted to keep him by his side and train him.
Unexpectedly, this boy is a bit spoiled, and he dares not to give himself face in such a situation.
"good!"
"Young Master is well said!"
Liu Zheng's words were met with applause from the audience. After all, Liu Zheng, as the son of a county marquis, not only has an official status, but also has a hereditary title. His status is completely different from that of the people here. It was really not easy for him to say these words.
"I, I, I..."
Jiang Xuan was also startled by Liu Zheng, and his expression changed several times.
"Okay! Master, you can distinguish between good and evil!"
Qin Changfeng, who was watching from the side, was also beaming. He even raised a glass of wine from a distance just to make Jiang Xuan angry.
Liu Zheng shook his head.
In fact, he wanted to arrange for Jiang Xuan to join the Chamber of Commerce because he wanted him to follow Zheng Yueru, learn some ways of the world, and temper his character. And the most important thing...do you really think that this chamber of commerce is the chamber of commerce and the army is the army?
No!
Since ancient times, in all wars that have occurred anywhere, what is visible is the smoke and flames of war, but what is invisible is the companies that provide logistics and information support!
company!
This is not only a business empire planned by Liu Zheng, but also a huge machine serving war. Since he planned to train Jiang Xuan, he naturally let him get in touch with these first. However, he only told Zheng Yueru about this idea, but could not explain it to Jiang Xuan.
on the other hand……
People have always believed that the military is the most likely and efficient organization. However, no! The efficiency of the army is exogenous and coercive. The company's efficiency is endogenous and proactive. In many cases in later generations, the military, which is known as the most efficient organization, has to start learning management from companies. You know, the West Point Military Academy in later generations was even rated as a good business school.
Therefore, shopping malls are like battlefields, even crueler than battlefields.
Putting Jiang Xuan in the mall for training is currently the best way.
However, Jiang Xuan cannot understand Liu Zheng's good intentions now.
"I apologize to you uncles!"
Liu Zheng stood up. He shouted coldly.
When everyone heard this, they quickly tried to smooth things over and said forget it, Tongyan Wuji. Besides, although Jiang Xuan is still white, his reputation is not small, especially his four strategies. Who knows in Yangzhou? At that time, if Lu Zhengyi had adopted his strategy, it was still unclear whether Liu Zheng could enter Yinzhou. Compared with him, these people are really just commoners.
"Quick, Jiang Xuan, apologize to the young master!"
Zheng Yueru did not expect that such a thing would happen, so she quickly came to Jiang Xuan and whispered.
In her memory, this was the first time Liu Zheng was so angry. It also shows that Jiang Xuan's position in Liu Zheng's heart is actually very important.
Jiang Xuan, however, was stubborn and held his head high: "No! I would rather join the army as a soldier than be ashamed to associate with traders like you!"
The whole place was in an uproar again, with constant curses.
Liu Zheng said angrily: "Okay, that's it, Colonel Qin!"
Qin Changfeng came out: "Changfeng is here!"
"From today onwards, Jiang Xuan will be incorporated into the militia and participate in farming matters!"
"yes!"
Qin Changfeng did not hide the wild laughter on his face, and pulled the struggling Jiang Xuan down.
"Everyone, continue!"
Liu Zheng drank a lot of wine and was stimulated by this. He had a headache. Everyone understood very well and got up to see him off.
Zheng Yueru hurriedly followed, hesitated for a moment, and Liu Zheng, who was staggering even with the slightest support, said softly: "Brother Liu, Jiang Xuan is young after all..."
Liu Zheng hummed: "Young? He is sixteen and already an adult! At the age of seventeen, General Huo Qubing was able to march hundreds of miles into the enemy's territory. Eight hundred people killed the Huns and sent them fleeing in all directions! Where is he?"
He shook his head.
I was thinking in my heart, if this Jiang Xuan can't become a talent, I should make plans early and find another handsome talent. But in this era, people generally have low levels of education. Where can he find such talents?
"Brother Liu, you are too tired. You should have a good rest."
Zheng Yueru sent Liu Zheng back to the room and then left.
…
And at this time.
Yangzhou County Houfu.
Qian Buqun and Cheng Dai looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
Compared to Liu's Mansion not far away, this County Marquis' Mansion is really deserted.
"How can this be true? How can this be true? I am the county magistrate!"
Qian Buqun wanted to die. He had imitated Liu Dahao and spent two million taels to get a title. Was he so disrespected by others?
Cheng Dai also cried out sadly: "Sir, if you and I work together to survive, we can still save our lives!"
Qian Buqun was already a loser, so when he heard this, he became even more sad. But no, the counselors, deacons, and even the soldiers of the Marquis Mansion in this county have all gone to the Liu Mansion. Even if he sends a message to Liangzhou about this kind of thing, what will happen?
Or, in this case, would Liu Zheng let him live to deliver the letter to Liangzhou Mansion?
Just survive!
Just hang on!
Qian Buqun wanted to cry but had no tears.
…
time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the new year has arrived.
These days, Qian Buqun is very peaceful and seems to have accepted his fate of becoming a puppet. In this case, Liu Zheng shouldn't embarrass him too much. So he let go and let him enjoy himself in peace and quiet in the county lord's mansion... Suddenly Liu Zheng felt something was wrong. Why did he feel like he had raised a father again?
He smiled bitterly, feeling that it was not important, as long as he obeyed!
The Chamber of Commerce has also entered the real running-in stage at this time.
In itself, these rich people really can't understand it based on theoretical knowledge. But if combined with practice, some things can be solved with just one click. Sure enough, practice brings out the truth! Under Zheng Yueru's management, the Chamber of Commerce has gradually got on the right track.
In fact, there are quite a few things going on.
First of all, it is to integrate and distribute the caravans of these famous families and wealthy people. Which direction does it lead to, what is the cost, and what is the pricing. These are very sophisticated.
Secondly, there is the establishment of workshops. Noble families who have invested a certain amount have also obtained the production rights. They will act as agents to produce the goods of Shen Workshop, and then negotiate with the chamber of commerce to distribute and sell them. Although this agency production model, although Dependent on the company, but profits are calculated independently. Therefore, these noble families also built those workshops and factories in Yinzhou according to Liu Zheng's instructions, which made Yinzhou, a place without rule, become more lively than ever.
Iron ore was also snatched back, and Yinzhou Plow began large-scale production. In this way, not only farmers in Yinzhou can use Yinzhou plows, but even Yangzhou can also have a supply.
Mass production has really begun.
On this day, what excited Liu Zheng, who was supervising the construction of the workshop in Yinzhou, was that Liang Erfu was back!
When Liu Zheng heard the news, he went out of the city to greet him excitedly. When he saw Liang Erfu's appearance, tears filled his eyes.
Liang Erfu, in the past month or so, has lost a lot of weight, his eyes are sunken, and he is covered in dust. At first glance, he seems to be rushing back without stopping. When he saw Liu Zheng, his cloudy eyes brightened up and he called "Young Master" a few times.
"Quick, quick, please call the doctor!"
Liu Zheng was heartbroken.
Looking at the two big bags on the horse, it seems that there is a lot of harvest. But Liu Zheng had no intention of looking, and looked nervously at Liang Erfu on the bed.
After the diagnosis, the doctor said that Counselor Liang was overtired and needed more rest, and Liu Zheng was relieved.
But unexpectedly, after feeding him a bowl of herbs, Liang Erfu woke up, with a smile on his dark face: "Master, I found it!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Erfu!"
Liu Zheng then ordered someone to open the two bags. They were full of sweet potatoes, which made Liu Zheng's eyes brighten.
He deliberately took it out now because he wanted to share this joy with Liang Erfu. Because he knew that Liang Erfu wanted to come back before spring plowing, which was why he almost died from overwork... A person who cares about the people deserves to be waited for!
"That's it!"
Sure enough, I found it!
Liu Zheng was as excited as he was when he got the three hundred and eighty taels of silver! A huge sweet potato looks so cute now.
Although Liang Erfu didn't find potatoes this time... this was what Liu Zheng expected after all, but what was in front of him were several different varieties of sweet potatoes!
"Erfu, have you ever tasted this?"
Liu Zheng was moved.
When Liang Erfu heard this, he rolled down from the bed with a bang and kowtowed to the ground: "Young Master is a great talent. This food is unparalleled in the world. I have eaten a few on the way... It is sweet and delicious, but you know, in that Sichuan Province , this thing... some of it is used as medicine, and the rest is used to feed pigs!"
These words were extremely desolate, and Liang Erfu burst into tears.
Liu Zheng also sighed.
There is so much food in Sichuan, it is really God's reward for eating, it is completely incomparable. Determined by climate environment.
Liu Zheng quickly helped Liang Erfu up, with a confident look on his face: "Erfu, there are sweet potatoes in Yinzhou today, which can feed the world!"
Liang Erfu fell asleep like that with a smile on his face.
"My son, what is this?"
Liu Dahao looked strangely.
Liu Zheng glanced at him with disgust. His father was really getting fatter. The feeling of seeing an old man in Yinzhou and a waste in Yangzhou arises spontaneously.
"Good stuff, food!"
Liu Zheng said.
When Liu Dahao heard about the food, his eyes lit up: "How do you want to eat it? Come and give it to daddy!"
Liu Zheng glared at him: "Go back home and have a drink, I want to cultivate the seedlings!"
"seedling?"
Liu Dahao looked confused.
Liu Zheng shook his head. These days, people are still in the primitive farming stage of sowing seeds, so they naturally have no understanding of seedlings.
He was not in a hurry, and after waiting for a few more days, Liang Erfu's body slowly recovered.
"Young Master has worked hard! However, although there is this sweet potato fruit, Erfu has not found the seeds..."
Liang Erfu expressed his gratitude to Liu Zheng who came to see him every day, and looked ashamed and regretful.
Liu Zheng laughed loudly and patted his shoulder: "Next, it's time for you to work hard! Follow me!"
"ah?"
Liang Erfu was stunned.
Can I play without seeds?
