Liu Chan held his belly and looked at the many servants busy in front of him, and couldn't help but smile. Xuxianyuan has achieved unprecedented success in Luoyang. After the people became rich, there were no corresponding entertainment activities. At this time,
This entertainment project launched by Liu Chan, known as storytelling, quickly became popular in Luoyang.
Xuxian Courtyard was full of guests both inside and outside, and the sales volume of various fruit wines and snacks was amazing. There were all kinds of people in Xuxian Courtyard, from peddlers and lackeys to top-notch people.
Four Xuxian courtyards were opened in Yang, located in four places. Later, they gradually spread to Henan, and Xuxian courtyards also appeared in some prosperous counties.
It has to be said that Liu Chan does have some talent in this area. The capital he spent in the early stage has been repaid within three months and started to make profits. Seeing that his Xuxian Academy is becoming more and more prosperous, Liu Chan
Put all your attention on Xuxianyuan, put aside the rest of your ideas, and strive to have Xuxianyuan spread all over the world as soon as possible. Just these few in Luoyang can already help Liu Chan.
Come to make a profit of nearly half a million yuan every month!!
This profit is still increasing. Liu Chan believes that the maximum profit of Xuxian Academy is not only to this extent. He cannot keep his eyes on the Luoyang area. He must gradually go out and wait for Xuxian.
When courtyards are spread all over the world, you can easily become the richest man in the world by sitting at home all day long and becoming incomparably rich...cough cough cough.
Wang Erlang smiled charmingly and stood next to Liu Chan. Today, he is different from the past. He is actually wearing splendid clothes and is quite wealthy. Liu Chan regards him as his confidant and even treats Xu Xian from the north of the city.
The hospital was left to him to take care of, "Young Master, I heard it clearly. It is indeed necessary to divide Luoyang. In this way, there will be three Xuxian courtyards in Luoxian County, but only one in Yang County..."
Liu Chan nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "After the partition, we will buy land in Yang County and build two more places."
"Why?"
"Haha, now Luoyang is the capital city, and the land price is extremely expensive. After the partition, Yang County will be just an ordinary county in Yinnei, Henan. At that time, it will naturally be cheaper. By the way, do you have enough manpower?"
"Shaojun is a great talent. We have recruited enough people. According to Shaojun's instructions, we will arrange it in turns. There will be no gaps..." Wang Erlang said with a smile. Liu Chan nodded. An ordinary boy is enough.
There is a shortage of capable people who can be trusted. There is nothing we can do about it. The talented people are preparing to take the examination for official positions. Which talented person will follow him to do business?
"Alas..." Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh, why do these people look down on merchants so much? What about doing business? Now he needs to do everything personally. Just the four Xuxian courtyards in Luoyang will
He was so tired that he had been running around all day, and except for Wang Erlang, there was no one available to him. If this continued, let alone spreading to various places, even in the two counties of Luo and Yang, he would be too busy.
Seeing that Liu Chan was not very happy, Wang Erlang quickly asked: "But what did I do wrong? If there is something wrong, I hope Shaojun can give me some advice."
"That's not true. There are too few capable people around me, and you are the only one I have close friends with. If you want to expand Xuxian Yuan, you can't do anything about it. You can't just rely on the two of us?"
When Wang Erlang heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I have a way to do this. There are many Hu merchants in Luoyang now. These Hu people have been in Luoyang for a long time. No matter the etiquette, writing, or language, they are all related to
There is no difference between the Han people, and these people all came to Luoyang to do business and are quite knowledgeable about this aspect. They are not resistant to doing business. As long as Shaojun can give them enough money, they can do anything..."
"However, if the responsible people in various places are Hu Shang, this is probably a bit inappropriate..." Liu Chan said, thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked: "You said, if it is Liangzhou, Ning
Will those scholars and merchants from Liangzhou be willing to help me?" There are more in Liangzhou and Ningzhou, Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu and so on. Of course, they are all Han people now, real Han people.
However, they are different from the people in the Central Plains. They do not look down on merchants. Because they do not make a living by farming in the era, they do not have the idea of valuing agriculture over commerce in their minds. In recent years, due to the contribution of printing technology, these
The number of scholars in remote areas is also increasing continuously. However, there are still not many who pass the examination. Many people come to Luoyang to participate in the examination and fail several times. They can only find jobs in Luoyang to survive.
Liu Chan suddenly thought that maybe he could find a suitable helper among these scholars.
"Young Master is such a talented person! I really admire him!!" Wang Erlang quickly began to praise him. Liu Chan listened with a smile, interrupted his praise, and then said: "Don't rush to praise me.
I'll leave this matter to you. You can contact me and see if there is a suitable helper. He must be literate, has good moral character, and is not opposed to doing business... If there is, no matter how much money it costs, give it to me.
Bring it here and I will subsidize it for you."
"No need, no need, don't worry, young gentleman, I'll go look for you now!"
After seeing off Wang Erlang, Liu Chan got into the carriage and drove towards his mansion. Sitting in the carriage, Liu Chan was still a little depressed. Before doing business, he still had so many business opportunities in his mind, and he didn't even think about it.
How difficult it would be, but after he really started, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought. If it weren't for his family background, hey, I'm afraid he wouldn't have achieved what he has today if he had to wait another twenty years.
Returning to the mansion, Liu Chan frowned and walked into the mansion swaggeringly.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the servants immediately lowered their heads and walked away quickly. Liu Chan suddenly raised his head. His wife was sitting opposite, looking at him with a smile. There were two maids behind him. Sun was older than her.
Liu Chan is older, but he has a more delicate appearance. When he smiles, he reveals two small tiger teeth, making him look much younger than the fat Liu Chan.
"Husband? Why are you back now? Where did you go last night?"
"Ahem, I went to Hongnong yesterday, and I was planning to establish Xu Xian Yuan there... So I went to investigate, but it was too late and I couldn't come back... It was delayed for a while.
"
"Oh? What about today? Why did you come back now?" Mrs. Sun asked again. Liu Chanmei walked up with a smile and asked the two maids to leave quickly. He stood behind her and gently rubbed her shoulders.
Then he said: "After I came back, Erlang came to me and said that Luoyang was divided and discussed the establishment of a new Xuxian Academy. I was so busy that I couldn't come back..."
"Lie!!" Sun stood up suddenly, grabbed Liu Chan's left hand, and twisted it back. Liu Chan was immediately pressed in front of her. Sun grabbed his arm with one hand and held him with the other.
On his shoulder, he gritted his silver teeth and asked fiercely: "Tell me the truth?! Where did you go last night?!!"
"Ouch! Ouch! Madam, madam, let go! I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth, I was drinking in Xuxianyuan!! I didn't dare to come back!"
Liu Chan cried out in pain, but Sun had no intention of letting him go, and said angrily: "Have you learned how to lie? And you still go drinking? Yesterday's studies were so wasted??"
"Madam, I'm already in business, so why should I go to school?!"
"Hmph, you should ask my father about this. My father said that when a person is alive, he must study. Before, he watched you read, and now it's me! When I get old, I will still give you money.
Concubine, let her supervise you!! Now, go back to my study!! Make up for me what I left yesterday!! Otherwise, you are not allowed to eat!!! Did you hear that?!"
Liu Chan burst into tears. Oh my god, what had he done wrong to deserve such suffering? He finally made his father give up, and now it’s his turn to get married!
"I see..."
Sitting in the study, Liu Chan looked sad and read hard while holding a book. Sun was sitting not far away, staring at him fiercely. Liu Chan was reading when a servant suddenly called out from the door: "Master, we have a visitor.
"
Liu Chan raised his head, but looked at Sun who was aside. Sun glanced at him helplessly, and then said: "We have a guest, what are you doing? Get out!!" Liu Chan quickly put down his hand.
The book hurriedly walked out of the study, leaving only his wife. She watched his chubby body tremble as he ran out of the study, but he showed a smile.
Liu Chan walked to the front yard and saw a somewhat familiar man looking at his mansion.
Liu Chan looked at him, as if he had seen him before somewhere, but couldn't remember. He put on a smile, bowed and said: "I don't know that a distinguished guest is coming, Zen is neglecting you!" The visitor looked at him, very surprised.
He cupped his hands indifferently and said, "No problem, you're welcome.."
"Hey, come on, come on, distinguished guest, follow me to the living room..." Liu Chan stepped forward enthusiastically, took this person's hand, and walked towards the living room. Liu Chan still didn't recognize the person in front of him, but
The more he looked, the more familiar he became. He must be an old acquaintance of his. Who is it? Liu Chan couldn't ask him like this. The other person obviously remembered him. It would be embarrassing if he asked him about his identity again.
When the visitor saw Liu Chan holding his hand so enthusiastically and walking towards the living room cordially, he also had some doubts on his face. For many years, no one had dared to get so close to him. Whoever saw him was afraid of him. Standing next to him
Everyone in front of me was pale and speechless. I didn't expect that this little fat man in Mr. Liu's family would be so courageous, but he was not afraid of me at all.
Yuan Shang thought to himself, and let Liu Chan hold his hand and lead him enthusiastically to the living room.
"Hahaha, please sit down, please come and serve tea to your distinguished guests!" Liu Chan called, Yuan Shang sat in front of him, smiled, and then said: "Thank you, Liu Jun, for your hospitality..."
"Hey, between you and me, there is no need to say thank you." Liu Chan said, but in his heart he wanted to find out the identity of this person, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, can you please help me with my recent errands?"
Okay? But it went well?"
"Well, overall, it's not bad. There are just some minor problems... but it's not a big problem."
"That's good, that's good. I think with your great talent, these problems can be easily solved."
"Hahaha, Mr. Liu is overly praised...I came here because I have something to ask for."
"Oh? Just say so. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
"It's like this. I heard that Liu Junshang is missing some confidants. As for me, I am going to arrange some people to help Liu Jun by his side. What does Liu Jun think?" Yuan Shang squinted his eyes and stared at Liu Shan.
He asked slowly, Liu Chan's face was surprisingly calm, he smiled and nodded, but he understood in his heart that he wanted to arrange for some relatives to come under my command.
"Of course I can't refuse your words. However, what I need is someone who can read and write, preferably someone who also knows how to do business, and who is not resistant to doing business. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to appoint him...
.", Liu Chan said with a smile.
Yuan Shang was stunned, this guy actually thought so thoughtfully. Sure enough, he needs a capable person who knows how to do business to avoid leaking it. Fortunately, they are not short of such people. Yuan Shang grinned and said: "Okay
, Just as Liu Jun said, I arranged for thirty people to come. All of these thirty people were thorough readers of the classics and had extensive research on the ways of doing business. I didn’t want to embarrass Liu Jun, so there were only thirty people.
.”
When Liu Chan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Seriously? Then don't just have thirty people, just a hundred people, how good is that?"
"Huh???" Yuan Shang looked confused. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Why is this?"
“It’s easy to do things with so many people!”
"Then Liu Jun, you don't care about these more than a hundred?"
"Of course I don't care. However, their salary must be made clear...I can't give them too much...this must be agreed in advance."
"Liu Jun still wants to give them money???"
"Of course, how can I not give them this? Since they are working for me, I will naturally give them money..."
"I...I..." Yuan Shang stood up excitedly and held Liu Chan's hands. "To be honest, before I came here, I was afraid that Liu Jun would not agree. I originally wanted to come with various promises.
I deceived Liu Jun and forced Liu Jun to agree. I didn't expect that Liu Jun would treat me like this. Liu Jun is really a sincere person, and he is a rare loyal man!!!"
"You don't want to say such things, I am also very happy, and I feel relieved that I can help you!"
The two looked at each other excitedly, with tears in their eyes, but they were thinking secretly:
