After all these things, the atmosphere of the whole night was still dull after all, and the joy of the previous few times was missing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of these people, Xu Ping's status is respected, and he can't comment casually. And Ouyang Xiu is a rising star in the literary world, and he is favored by many veterans and important ministers in the DPRK and China, and his future is immeasurable, and it is difficult for others to say it seriously.

The most important thing is that Ouyang Xiu is extremely stubborn about Taoism, and deep down he compares himself to Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty, wanting to sweep away the heresy in the world and establish orthodoxy. The decline of the eight generations of Wenqi, and the drowning of the world, the anger of the loyal prisoner, and the courage to win the commander of the three armies, although Su Shi's words of praising Han Yu have not yet appeared, Ouyang Xiu's heart regards this as a benchmark for his own work.

Xu Ping was born in a family of merchants, although he entered the official career, but he was promoted all the way, most of them relied on the achievements of creating money and grain wealth for the imperial court, although he had military merits, but what he is doing now is still concentrating on money and grain. It's just a matter of doing it yourself, and you also use your position of authority to let the pillars of the court of the pavilion do the same, isn't this just the prosperity of evil and the decline of righteousness? The son of a businessman actually thinks that governing the world is just money and food, which is what Ouyang Xiu can't bear no matter what.

Now that Xu Ping is in a high position, Ouyang Xiu can only swallow this breath, but he is not convinced in his heart no matter what. Secretly determined that one day Xu Ping's crooked reasoning and heresies will be set right, and there are still many people in the world who follow the right path.

Everyone dispersed that night, and Xu Ping and Wang Gongchen stayed in the shop.

Turning on the lights, the little guy served two cups of strong tea, and Xu Ping asked the director of the shop to take the account book and reconcile it with Wang Gongchen.

Pushing the tea to the table, Wang Gongchen said a little crampedly: "Deputy envoy, our own people, as officials in the same dynasty, read the books of sages, do official family affairs, open a shop is just to subsidize the family, why really worry about being like a group of businessmen!" ”

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "Jun Zhen, that's not what you said. To do business together, the most important thing is to have clear accounts, otherwise, there will be a day when you will doubt each other. A gentleman is frank, he has to say everything to others, and he must do business like a businessman, and sort out his money frankly and clearly. The two of us are good friends, and it is one thing to help each other, but it is another thing to sort out the business accounts, this is not greed for money, this is the rule of doing things. ”

Wang Gongchen is a little uncomfortable after all, Xu Ping used to help him often, and he didn't know how much money and things he gave him for nothing, but now he is settling accounts with Xu Ping, how is this account calculated?

Xu Ping said to the main pipe standing aside: "Director Zhang, you make the accounts clear from Jun Zhen one by one, if there is anything unclear, you must explain it clearly." Doing business in partnership must be clearly distinguished, and it must not be sloppy. ”

Director Zhang bowed down and replied: "The little one will pay attention to it, and at the end of the month, all the accounts will be cleared." ”

Xu Ping nodded, stood up and patted Wang Gongchen on the shoulder and said, "Jun Zhen, you have to get used to doing this, otherwise one day in the future, you will really want some big deal, if you don't sort out the accounts clearly, who will dare to partner with you?" ”

Wang Gongchen shook his head helplessly: "But how can I do these things?" ”

Xu Ping laughed: "Then you can quickly hire a prefect to do it at home, take care of these for you, and don't have to worry about everything yourself." If there is no candidate, go to your future father-in-law, Xue Shilang's wealthy family, there will be someone to give you. Okay, you and Director Zhang are doing things here, I'll go out to blow the wind and clear my head. ”

After speaking, Xu Ping walked out of the door and came to the courtyard.

At this time, it was late at night, and it was not as prosperous as the inner city, and the customers in the shop had long since dispersed, leaving only a few small servants busy cleaning. Clean up the table, extinguish the charcoal fire in the stove, and do the final finishing touches of the day.

Seeing Xu Ping come out, the little guy hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Xu Ping waved his hand and said, "Just busy with you, I'm just walking around." ”

After speaking, he turned around the yard twice and raised his feet to the Wuzhang River.

Wuzhang River leads to Liangshanbo on Jingdong Road, far less prosperous than the Bianhe River, there is no boat on the river at this time, only the West Water Mill under the Three Divisions in the distance is like a monster lying on the riverside.

The wind blows from the river, warm and cool. Xu Ping raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, and only felt comfortable physically and mentally.

At this time last year, he was returning to Taiping County from Thang Long Province, which can be described as high-spirited. Suddenly, he was taken away and sent back, and he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and before he knew it, it would be a year. In one year, he changed from a local petty official to a central minister of the central government, and few people have had such an opportunity since the founding of the country.

During this year, especially in the second half of his tenure in Beijing, he stumbled and stumbled, but after all, he came step by step. Now, whether it is public or private, they are finally on the right track, and the nerves that have been tense are slowly beginning to relax.

Today's three divisions, the new field affairs and shops in charge have been operating normally, as long as they continue to do it steadily, they will be mature in the capital, and slowly expand to nearby states and counties, and the nearby roads will expand little by little to all day.

At that time, the annual income of the three divisions will be very different from what it is now, and the finances will be abundant, and it will not be difficult to do anything. Even if there is a war in the northwest, as long as there is no shortage of money and food, Zhao Yuanhao can be consumed to death.

In the face of the general trend of Huanghuang, even if someone looks unpleasant, what kind of wind and waves can be stirred? The people of the world want to eat, the officials of the court must have money, and the government wants to operate normally.

There was no moon in the sky, and I couldn't tell how much time had passed, Wang Gongchen happily came out of the room, came to Xu Ping's side, and said softly: "Deputy envoy, it's all over." ”

Xu Ping turned to look at Wang Gongchen: "Oh, how much has it been divided this month?" ”

Wang Gongchen was stunned: "What, don't you know? You don't count yourself, why do you let me figure it out? ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "The business around my house is all under the management of Xu Chang, and the accounts are naturally calculated by him, and I do so much." I don't know how many things I usually have, but where do I still have time to do this. ”

"Alas, it's really a great business, and it seems that I'm going to find a capable person too, otherwise I can't afford to spend my energy on this. This month, the shop earned a total of 358 yuan, and our family made more than 100 yuan. To tell you the truth, how many powerful families open their warehouses and rent houses, they can't make so much money, and I can't imagine that a small shop can have such a profit, which I couldn't have imagined before. With this money, my family's usual spending is much more relaxed. ”

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation, these four things are indispensable in life, and they are also the best to make money, but not many people can do it well. Concentrate on food, our shop has a lot to do, and it is not impossible to make thousands of dollars in the future. ”

Wang Gongchen sighed: "I don't dare to think like this with the deputy envoy, you also know that my family used to be miserable, and I just felt that it was difficult to make a penny." I didn't expect the money to come so easily when I opened the shop, alas-"

"Is it easy? It's not easy, you didn't see that there were already two or three food shops in this neighborhood with us at that time. Things in the world are easy to do with your heart, and you have to know how to do them. ”

Hearing this, Wang Gongchen smiled and said: "Anyway, the deputy envoy knows how to do it, you just need to take me to earn a few dollars, why bother me!" ”

After speaking, he and Xu Ping looked at the Wuzhang River that shone slightly under the starlight. (To be continued.) )
