    As soon as Zhou Shixiong returned to his mansion, Gao Fu was already waiting in his small courtyard. Seeing Zhou Shixiong, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Ji, I'm looking for you. Come with me quickly."

    "Why is it so urgent? Look at my stinking sweat. It would be too rude to just go there like this!" Ordinarily Ruan Fubao knew that Zhou Shixiong had just come back, so he shouldn't be in such a hurry to find him. Is there something urgent?

    "The master has asked you to go over to see Master Ji as soon as you see him. I've been waiting here for a long time, so you'd better go there quickly." Gao Fu couldn't explain why, but he just kept urging Zhou Shixiong to hurry up.  Click to go.

    When he came to the study, Zhou Shixiong saw Ruan Phuc Bao and Ruan Phuc Luo Min drinking tea and chatting. They looked calm and peaceful, but there was no hint of urgency.  "Father, uncle, Hongchang is so polite." Zhou Shixiong came in and saluted the two elders, then stood next to Ruan Fubao and waited for him to speak.

    "Hongchang, my uncle wants you to take him to visit Lang Son City. He mainly wants to see the newly built trading area. You are responsible for these things. I believe there is no one more suitable than you." Such a small thing is enough to kill him.  Revitalize?  Zhou Shixiong looked at Ruan Phuc Luo Min in confusion. The old man was stroking his beard with one hand and holding a teacup in the other, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

    "Father, as long as my uncle doesn't dislike Hongchang for being stupid, Hongchang should do his best." The job of a tour guide is not difficult, and Zhou Shixiong believes that it will not be a problem for him.

    "Well, you should go back and rest first. Gao Fu will be here to watch over you." After instructing Ruan Fu Bao to drive people away, Zhou Shixiong had no choice but to bow and leave.  I had doubts all the way, should I rush over here just for this little thing?  !

    Ji Hongchang left the study for a while, and Ruan Phuc Luo Min seemed to have just come back from his fugue, "Bao'er, this man's talent and restraint can be put to great use, but his appearance is a heartless person. If he uses it well, Ruan Phuc will fly away."  It's not impossible to reach the sky. If you don't use it well, the bamboo basket will be in vain!"

    "Uncle, Hongchang has helped me solve problems many times. He is not very interested in money and power. If it hadn't been for my child's repeated dissuasion, I'm afraid he would have gone back to tinkering with carpentry." Zhou Shixiong had no intention of staying in Lang Son for a long time.  , of course not interested in the power of Lang Son House.  After Ruan Phu Ajiang's persuasion, Zhou Shixiong realized that his roots were no longer in Pingxiangzhou, and he was looking for a new place to take root, which could only be achieved with the help of Ruan Phu Bao.

    Now Zhou Shixiong is very interested in the power of Lang Son House, which is far from his previous performance.  Ruan Phu Bao thought this was his own contribution and was very proud of it.

    ¡°It¡¯s not true that power values ??skill over skill, but this guy is a weirdo.¡± Seeing Ruan Phu Bao¡¯s resolute words, the old fox thought that he had misjudged the situation and could not continue to persuade Ruan Phu Bao to change the arrangement for Ji Hongchang.

    "Uncle, to put it bluntly, how long can we elders help our descendants? If we don't train some manpower as soon as possible, the Nguyen Phuc family will be out of business in twenty years." Ruan Phuc Bao and Ruan Phuc Luo Min were discussing something.  A very important thing is that they are looking for a successor for Nguyen Phuc's next business leader.  Nguyen Phuc Bao believed that Ji Hong Chang was a suitable adopted son. As long as Ji Hong Chang was willing to marry a woman of the Ruan Phuc family, he would be eligible to compete for this position if he became a branch of the Ruan Phuc family.

    Nguyen Phuc Loc Min also admired Ji Hongchang very much, but he believed in physiognomy very much and believed that Ji Hongchang's face was not good, and he was destined to be unkind and unkind to his relatives.  The magical physiognomy is really powerful. Even if Zhou Shixiong changes his appearance, people can still see through his true destiny.  The people who traveled through time must have lost six relatives. There were more than six relatives separated by two time and space, and all the relatives were severed.  The thing that modern people pay the least attention to is kindness. Gratitude is something that can only be talked about in words, but no one will take it seriously.

    Zhou Shixiong returned to the small courtyard and saw the four singers before he remembered that he had forgotten to arrange this matter. It was very troublesome to stay in the house. Ruan Fu Ajiang would definitely teach him a lesson when he found out.  I'm sure Li Jie will know too, and Zhu Ying and the others will all know by then. I can't imagine what will happen next.

    After worrying for a while, he finally came up with a way to set up a singing class in the mansion, buy some women to come back to practice singing and dancing, and let the singing girls perform when there is a need to entertain guests in the future.  In the past, Nguyen Phuc Bao and Lang Son Prefecture had almost no high-level people coming and going, but now it is different. Lang Son Prefecture and the three surrounding prefectures have formed alliances openly and secretly.  After all, Ruan Fubao is already a big man who owns two palaces, and it is unreasonable to think that he is the master of the second palace.

    Zhou Shixiong¡¯s move was very clever. He arranged four singers into the singer class, and the four of them became members of the palace master¡¯s palace. They had little to do with him as a fugitive, at least not directly.  If necessary, Zhou Shixiong can call women to sleep with him and eat for free without being responsible. What a beautiful setting.

    That night, at the dinner party for Ruan Phuc Luo Min, Zhou Shixiong mentioned the matter to Ruan Phuc Bao in front of Ruan Phuc Luo Min. Ruan Phuc Bao thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.  Ruan Phuc Luo Min asked Ji Hongchang in confusion, "Hongchang, didn't those four singers serve you well enough? Why are they arranged like this?"

     "Uncle, Hongchang doesn't want to be like this. He is just afraid that his wife and concubines at home will be unhappy, so he has no choice but to cut off his love." Zhou Shixiong confessed that he was afraid of his wife. This method of self-destruction was very effective, and Ruan Phuc Luo Min couldn't hold on to it.  He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Hongchang already had a lot of wives and concubines at such a young age, and he also had henpecked problems. It's interesting, interesting."

    Ruan Phu Bao was already well-known for being henpecked, and his adopted son also shared the same hobbies with him, which made Ruan Phu Bao very happy, "The wives and concubines of Hong Chang stayed with them when Hong Chang fell. Of course, such good women must be respected. Hong Chang  Well done Chang.¡±

    The two men holding high the banner of henpecking clinked glasses to celebrate, as if being henpecked was a very worthy thing to celebrate, leaving Ruan Phuc Luo Min dumbfounded.  These two father and son are so destined that no one else can separate them.

    The next day, Zhou Shixiong served as the guide and led Ruan Phuc Lomin around the city.  Mainly visit the trading area in the city and the auction area in Fuzhong.  Zhou Shixiong introduced various measures of the trade fair to Ruan Phuc Luo Min in detail. Ruan Phuc Luo Min quickly realized that this simple bamboo shed could lay golden eggs, and once again lamented Ji Hongchang's whimsical idea. He had been a wealthy businessman for so many years, why did he want to  There is no such transaction method as an order fair!

    The trade fair is, to put it bluntly, a bulk commodity ordering fair.  In ancient times, this quality was even more prominent.  Without modern processing capabilities, commodities in ancient times were almost all raw materials.  Only a behemoth like the Ming Dynasty could turn hand-processed silk into bulk commodities.

    "Uncle, I wonder if you have ever done business with Hongmao, a foreign lord, and how much you know about their trading methods." Large-scale transactions first appeared in maritime trade, because ships have a large cargo capacity, and one ship can carry dozens of vehicles to  Hundreds of carriages carried goods, and ship owners could not sell such large quantities of goods themselves, so wholesalers emerged.  Trade fairs are the main means for wholesalers to trade goods.

    "Of course I have come into contact with a lot of maritime merchants, but their goods are too single and the quantity is very large. It is difficult for ordinary merchants to eat all the goods, and even if they eat all the goods, the sales time will be very long, and the quantity of goods is sufficient.  The price cannot go up either. If not for the fact that many of the goods trafficked by maritime merchants are rare items, it would be difficult to find long-term buyers." Although most of Cochin's land is close to the sea, maritime trade is not developed. One reason is that Cochin is not peaceful all year round.  Often in a state of war, no maritime merchants are willing to invest in such a troubled area.

    The second reason is related to the terrain and climate. The Malay Governor Preila, who is based in Malacca, is mainly engaged in the spice business in Southeast Asia.  Cochin is dispensable and useless to Preila.  When caravans from other countries enter the South China Sea, they take the line from Brunei to Manila to Macau, and do not pass through Jiaozhi at all. As a result, Jiaozhi has never had the right conditions to become a link in the sea lanes.

    "My foster father is working with Ming officials to run trade routes, and my uncle must know it very well. The Xiangzhou elephant team can transport a large amount of goods each time, but the merchants of the Northern and Vietnamese Dynasties can only provide a wide variety of goods in smaller quantities, which cannot make the elephant team transport a lot of goods."  To maximize its role, if there is such an exchange in Shenglong Province, which mainly trades bulk goods, I believe this trade route will be more prosperous, and the merchants who host the exchange will also make a fortune." Zhou Shixiong almost pointed at his nose and said,  Why don't you, old man, get one? It's very profitable.

    Nguyen Phuoc Loc Min was very interested in this proposal. He knew that Lang Son and Thang Long were at odds with each other, and Ji Hong Chang could not implement it no matter how many good ideas he had.  Lang Son Province is too remote. The success of this trade fair depends on the mining rights of Beijiang Province as bait to attract so many wealthy businessmen to gather together.

    "Mr. Ruan Phuc, why are you here in person? How can such a small business get your attention?" A group of people passed by nearby. When the leader saw Ruan Phuc Luo Min, he shouted hello from a distance, for fear that others would not know that he had a wide range of contacts.  Similar.

    "Ou Zhongda, are you here on behalf of the Guangnan District clan or on behalf of the Le clan in Thanh Hoa?" Ruan Phuoc Luo Min was not polite at all to the fat man Ou Zhongda. The first sentence made it clear that he was a wealthy businessman in Guangnan and a member of the Le Dynasty.  The main wealthy businessmen.  It is impossible for an ordinary person to represent the Li family.

    "Mr. Ruan Phuc praises this junior too much. How can I carry such a big thing with my weight? I just came here when I heard that there was a lot of excitement in Lang Son Palace. It has nothing to do with the Au family or the Li family." This big boy  It's hard to tell the age of a fat man by looking at his face. It's okay to say he's thirty or fifty, but he's so fat that he doesn't have a single wrinkle.

    "I don't dare to talk nonsense. I manage the sale of dozens of cannons on my own. If I can't do it, my future life will be terrible!" Ruan Phuc Luo Min spared no effort to reveal the big fat man's secrets. At least Zhou Shixiong understood one thing. Li Shi can get such a  How big the cannon is is directly related to this area Zhongda.

    Just now, Ou Zhongda deliberately shouted the old fox's name loudly, so that many passers-by knew his identity. The old fox took it as calmly as if nothing happened.  In the blink of an eye, the old fox lifted Ou Zhongda's veil one after another. It seemed that the old fox would not stop until his entire identity was revealed.
