In June, on the north bank of the Huai River, it is the time when wildflowers are gorgeous.

During the Great Song and Yuan Fu periods, the Huanghuai was still the richest area on the land of China. The territory of the Lianshui Army, which is located in Huaibei, is close to Haizhou, the first port in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and you can also feel prosperity and prosperity everywhere.

On the banks of the Huai River, wildflowers bloom in various colors and spread all the way to the beachhead.

On the Huai River, boats come and go, and from time to time you can see merchant ships coming along the canal, full of goods, sailing in all directions.

The river breeze blowing from the Huai River slightly dispelled the heat, making Wu Haogu and the others who were walking along the bank of the Huai River feel a little cool.

After saying goodbye to Ximen Qing, Wu Haogu went along with Guo Jing and Liu Wuji along the way. Pan Qiaolian and Xiao Bottler got into a carriage hired in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and hurried away like ordinary female dependents.

"Da Lang, why did we come all the way to see Mi Xiangyang?"

"Yes, with your current status, if there is no "Eighty-Seven Immortal Map", there will be no relatives and nobles in Kaifeng Mansion to persecute you."

When Lianshui City was far away, Wu Haogu's two good brothers suddenly asked about the purpose of this trip.

In fact, Wu Haogu left Kaifeng Mansion for three purposes, one is to avoid the limelight; the second is to see what places can be used as refuge in the future; The third is the platform for Lami Fu to endorse his future career.

However, Wu Haogu could not tell Guo Jing and Liu Wuji about finding a future refuge now...... Today's Great Song Dynasty is a peaceful and prosperous era, where do you need refuge?

"I'm looking for Mi Fu, for the right to speak," Wu Haogu said, "the right to speak in the calligraphy and painting line!"

Third brother, Xiao Yi, what do you think is the biggest trick to making money in the calligraphy and painting shop? ”

"Eyesight!"

"Naturally, it's eyesight."

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji's answers were the same.

Wu Haogu shook his head and said, "It's the right to speak!" ”

"What is the right to speak?" Liu Wuji didn't understand for a while.

Guo Jing understood a little, he said: "It's probably what you say, others believe it, or dare not believe it." ”

"The third brother is right!" Wu Haogu said, "The truth and falsehood in the calligraphy and painting shop, good and bad, out of ten, there are always ninety percent of them relying on what they say."

Therefore, whoever has the final say can make the most money! The annual turnover of Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting is not small, and there are tens of millions of dollars at least. If you can draw one or two points from it, it will be hundreds of thousands a year. ”

Although Wu Haogu was not a businessman in his previous life, he lived in a society with an information explosion in his previous life, and what he heard and witnessed also broadened his horizons.

In later generations, it is very easy to make money by mastering the "standard" and making the "platform".

And "standard" in the calligraphy and painting industry is the right to speak. And with the right to speak, it is easy to make a buying and selling platform, so as to become the master of the calligraphy and painting industry.

When the time comes, you will be able to make money while lying down!

"Da Lang, your method is good!" Liu Wuji understood, and said with admiration, "As long as you can pull Wang Yuma and Mi Xiangyang, plus the golden signboard of the first in your painting."

The head of the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Line is none other than you. When the time comes......"

What should I do then?

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji looked at each other, but they still didn't understand what Wu Haogu was going to do.

"When the time comes, I will get a joint-stock calligraphy and painting singing and selling shop." Wu Haogu had an idea for a long time, "I have to ask Wang Yuma and Mi Xiangyang to become shareholders, and the palms, singing and selling can be all covered...... Even if you make a profit, you can make a profit. ”

The name of this singing and selling house was thought of in Wuhao, and it was called "Wufu Competition".

Guo Jing asked, "Da Lang, what can Xiao Yi and I do?" ”

Wu Haogu turned his head to look at his two good brothers, and thought: If you really want to start a martial arts competition, I am afraid that the goods in the stomachs of the two of them will not be able to control the scene.

Those who can manage things in Wufubi have to be characters such as Daddy Wu Chengzhi and Li Tang.

However, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji also have their skills.

These two people are very good at fooling, and they also know a lot of Taoist knowledge, otherwise how can they tell people hexagrams and measure words on Panlou Street?

This right to speak is not only available in the calligraphy and painting industry!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu laughed and said: "You naturally have great wealth to find, but it is not in the calligraphy and painting shop, but it will fall on King Duan." ”

"Duanwang?"

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji took a breath at the same time.

Guo Jing asked: "Da Lang, ...... Duanwang?"

Wu Haogu smiled and said: "The third brother and Xiao Yi are both able to pinch and calculate, can't they be counted as the wealth of King Duan in the future?"

As far as I know, this His Royal Highness Duan Wang is a Taoist believer. What do you think? Do the third brother and Xiao Yi want to pick up the old business of hexagram and appearance? ”

Song Huizong is a "Taoist Emperor", which shows his obsession with Taoism. Before Guo Jing and Liu Wuji made their careers, in addition to doing some calligraphy and painting private business, they were also wild Taoist priests on Panlou Street, and fortune-telling was also their forte. Wu Haogu arranged one or two more for them, and it was not very difficult to cover Zhao Ji, the king of Duan, who was still a teenager.

……

Between talking and laughing, the official road to Lianshui City came to an end.

Although Lianshui Army is a military state, it has been peaceful for more than 100 years, and it has long been no different from the ordinary states and counties along the Huai River, with loose armaments and prosperous commerce.

Outside the west gate where Wu Haogu and others were preparing to enter the city, it happened to be the Lianshui Wharf, and it was also a water gate (tax customs on the water), so it had long become a commercial port. From the wharf to the city gate, all kinds of shops are connected one after another, and they are all about to catch up with the market.

Because Wu Haogu brought a lot of calligraphy and paintings, he also had to pass through customs and pay taxes, but not through the water pass, but through the Lianshui West Pass located at the west gate of Lianshui.

"Brother Chongdao, but is it Wu Chongdao?"

Just when Wu Haogu and others led the horse to the checkpoint in front of the west gate of Lianshui, a young man behind the checkpoint suddenly shouted out Wu Haogu's name.

Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up.

I saw a young man dressed as a scribe walking over, and when he got closer, Wu Haogu recognized that this young man turned out to be Mi Youren.

"Why did Brother Yuanhui come to Lianshui?"

Before Wu Haogu left Kaifeng, Mi Youren hadn't gone out yet, but he didn't expect to arrive in Lianshui before Wu Haogu.

"Sure enough, it's Brother Chongdao!"

Mi Youren stepped forward with a laugh and said with a smile: "I just saw you from afar, I am a little familiar, but I dare not recognize you." I haven't seen him for more than two months, and Brother Chongdao's bearing is much stronger than before. ”

"Brother Yuanhui is ashamed of Wu."

Wu Haogu replied politely.

Speaking of which, Mi Youren's eyesight is really not bad.

Wu Haogu's appearance has not changed much compared to more than two months ago. It's just that it looks a little thinner, a little stronger, and the skin is a little darker than before.

But after all, he had seen the real fight, and he also met the famous Chao Gai and Song Jiang on the underworld on Jingxi Road in Pengcheng in person.

This can only be said to be a small tempering, but it has made Wu Haogu's temperament change significantly. is a little less elegant, a little more heroic, and a lot calmer.

"Brother Yuanhui, how did you get to Lianshui before Wu?"

Mi Youren listened, and just smiled bitterly.

"Isn't this because of you? You are famous in Panjiayuan, and you were rated as the first person in the painting by Longmian monks, and my father listened to it, and immediately wanted to see the facsimiles of your "Mulberry Wazi Picture" and "Drunken Arhat Picture", so I had to rush to Lianshui...... By the way, you sold paintings and calligraphy? ”

"Yes, there are still more than 20,000 calligraphy and paintings that have not been sold."

"Come with me into the city. In Kaifeng Mansion, my own house is not very bottom, but here in Lianshui, it is in the Mi Ya, and it is still possible to take a friend through the customs customs. ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at the carriages behind Wu Haogu, thinking to himself if Pan Qiaolian was in the car? He set off from Kaifeng ten days later than Wu Haogu, so he heard that Pan Qiaolian went somewhere to burn incense and make a vow. At that time, he guessed whether Wu Dalang and Pan Qiaolian, the dog man and woman, would "elope".

If Wu Dalang and Pan Qiaolian had done everything that should have been done...... The Pan family is about to lose face.

But this is not harmful to the Mi family, after all, there is only one queen's throne!
