"Okay," Shen Linquan turned around and said to Fan Weiquan: "There is probably someone who thinks this kind of drought-resistant seed is good and wants to donate it. But when I saw that person that day, he had the air of a slippery merchant. , such a person, even if there is someone above him, will not be a powerful person, powerful people will not use such an unworthy person."
He paused for a moment: "Besides, there are people above them, and there are people behind you! From now on, keep your back straight, our Shen family will be your backers!"
Fan Weiquan chuckled, and Shen Linquan said again: "Brother Weiquan, actually, I think there is something wrong with your idea. Now that you are selling grain, your mentality is just a one-shot deal. This is wrong..."
Fan Weiquan was still stunned: "But isn't this just a one-time deal?"
"So?" Shen Linquan said: "You have taken several steps forward, and you still want to go back? Do you know that if you are just a commoner all your life, you will never be bullied by Xiao Xiao? Stop, and if you once stand up and then step back, the ill will will be even greater."
He paused for a moment: "No matter why you started doing it, once you have done it, keep doing it. The imperial court does not prohibit merchants from taking the imperial examination. If you can make your business bigger, even if Weijin takes the imperial examination in the future, it will be helpful." beneficial."
Fan Weiquan was silent for a moment: "You mean, by next year, I should sell the recovered grain again, farther and more... Just, just like this, slowly grow bigger?"
"Yes!" Shen Linquan said clearly: "So I have always been curious about your deed at that time. Why is it cheaper to pay back the money and more grain to pay back? This kind of improved seed that can grow in extremely dry land has far-reaching significance. Silver is much more valuable."
Fan Weiquan said sarcastically: "At that time, I was thinking about a one-time deal and just wanted to get the money back? So, what should I do now?"
"It's up to you," Shen Linquan said: "Actually, you can take back the money and do other business. But if you want to continue to be a grain merchant, you have to change the deed first, and you have to have someone on hand. When the time comes, The place where you sell grain must be under your control, and no one else is allowed to cut it off."
Fatty Tuanzi finally couldn't help it anymore and waved his little hands: "Brother Lin Quan, Mi Bao wants to talk."
Shen Linquan turned around and said with a smile: "Tell me, what does Mi Bao want to say?"
Mibao said: "Why should we snatch seeds? Any kind of seed, Mibao can make it drought-resistant, flood-resistant, high-yielding, etc.! We don't have to rob others, just let them snatch it away! Mibao will give it to you again alley!"
Shen Linquan: "..."
He silently held his forehead: "Wait, let me slow down."
Although Shen Zhen had been feeding Mibao, he had also been listening, and he said directly: "If you can recycle it, you still have to recycle it. Only by taking it in can you make it more rare. In the past few days, we have tried to think of ways to recycle it. , create a suitable place for your seeds. In addition, those few people, let Gansong accompany you someday to solve the problem as soon as possible."
He called one of the boys in: "That's him."
Fan Weiquan didn't ask any more questions, stood up and said, "Then, shall we leave now?"
Shen Zhen nodded: "Okay."
Shen Linquan followed up and said, "Don't worry about other matters. We can wait until we discuss them."
Fan Weiquan nodded and walked out. Shen Linquan pointed at Fan Weijin again: "Douzi, why don't you go?"
"Well," Shen Zhen said casually, "Uncle, don't go."
Fan Weijin: “…???”
No, why is it an uncle? Who is your uncle? Don’t just blindly identify relatives!
He groaned inwardly and stood still obediently.
Fan Weiquan took the boy with him and the two of them walked out. Fan Weiquan asked Tang Youxiang again: "By the way, what are you doing together?"
"Business," Tang Youxiang said, "We'll talk about this later. You have to figure out what you're doing first! I worry about it day by day. I need to figure it out quickly. I still have a lot of things to do. I still have to do it. It’s time to build a big house!”
Fan Weiquan said casually: "You know how to build a big house."
"That's right," Tang Youxiang said, hugging his shoulders, "I am a farm slave and a country bumpkin. I don't have any ambitions. My wife and children are hot on the bed, so I just know how to build a big house."
Fan Weiquan was so happy again that he laughed a few times and walked away quickly.
Tang Youxiang didn't go in again and said, "We're leaving too. Let Mi Bao'er have dinner at your house and bring her back after dinner."
Shen Linquan laughed and said, "Okay."
Tang Youxiang left with Fan Weijin.
Fan Weiquan also left with the young boy Gan Song. They both sat in the front of the carriage and talked as they went.
Fan Weiquan said: "You just... I mean, what were my family doing in the Shen family just now?"
Gan Song said: "It seems that we want to cooperate on some embroidery business."
"Embroidery business?" Fan Weiquan was surprised: "Who does it?"
Gan Song said: "It seems that we need to ask Fan...my sister to come forward and do it."
"Go to Jinxiu??" Fan Weiquan, who is worthy of being his own brother, simply tutted: "You have found a good person! Don't let her ruin all your embroidery! We can't afford to pay for it then! You and I will He said that back then, my mother was really good at embroidery, and the flowers she embroidered could attract butterflies. She practiced embroidery every day, but in the end the embroidery was not very decent."
"One day, they made me a dress with a crane embroidered on it. At first glance, it looked okay. It was just a two-layered robe. I was wondering whether it was made of cotton or not. But she finally managed it. I did it, so I put it on, but one day I accidentally pulled it off, and all the threads were torn apart. When I looked at the threads inside, they were all in clumps. I didn’t know how many threads had been wasted. This is Afraid that I would see it, I gave it another lining."
Gan Song burst out laughing at what he said, and the two of them chatted quite happily.
Fan Weiquan is a knowledgeable person, but he is just a Jianghu person. There are many aspects of the world that Jianghu people cannot see.
However, he happened to save a few "old brothers".
He always felt that this Gan Song had a temperament similar to that of those dead soldiers, so even if he was very kind, he would not dare to make any mistakes.
The two of them hurried into the city before the city gate and went directly back to the Fan family grain store.
Then Fan Weiquan stopped by and bought some food and placed it in the shop for the two of them to eat.
Because Zhang Cheng kept an eye on them, he would surely come as soon as he saw them coming back, so there was no need to go to great lengths to find them.
Sure enough, while they were eating, a figure flashed at the door. Zhang Cheng came with his son and said with a smile: "Are you eating?"
Fan Weiquan glanced at them sideways and ignored him.
The two sides were almost at odds now. Zhang Cheng was no longer polite when he spoke. He swung his arms over his shoulders and wanted to sit at the table. He said, "Tell me, why can't you think about it..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Gan Song kicked the bench open.
Zhang Cheng was startled and turned around suddenly. Gan Song was still eating his meal with big mouthfuls.
But at this moment, the "little boy" energy in him was gone, and he sat there with an imposing manner.
Zhang Cheng is also considered a knowledgeable person. He knew at a glance that this person was not easy to mess with. He immediately took two steps back and regained some of his kindness: "Don't get angry. This little brother is a bit unfamiliar, isn't he?"
Gan Song said: "If you bother me to eat again, my head will be screwed off for you."
His tone was very calm, but Zhang Cheng was so stunned that his hair stood on end. Without daring to say a word, Ma Liu got out.
After the two of them finished their meal, they poured tea and drank it. Then Zhang Cheng came in again and bowed deeply: "This is..."
