"The Hengxi Chamber of Commerce also started in Liupei, but the hands and feet are not clean. ”

Chitose recounted the news she had heard from the merchants:

"Your big proprietor is called Yang Hengxi, and the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce is named after him. He is the son of a local villager in Liupei, and he should have faced the loess with his back to the sky all his life, but Yang Hengxi was unwilling to be mediocre since he was a child, ran away from home, and never went back, it is said that his wife was sick and did not see him for the last time before he died. Later, I don't know what method he used to enter the Sand Sect and become a disciple under the seat of Yunxiu Peak Changmei Jing. She explained her background first, "You already know all of the above."

Yan Saburo nodded. Except for the part where Yang Hengxi's wife died of illness, I have heard all the other parts.

When the accounting gentlemen chatted, they would also mention the two owners of the Chamber of Commerce, especially willing to brag about Yang Hengxi, after all, the big proprietors were bullish, and they also felt honored in the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce. He listened as he went, cutting out the obvious false exaggerations, and he could hear a little bit of it.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, the scale was too small, and the proprietor served as the owner, and this tradition was preserved. Today, when it comes to the shopkeeper, it refers to the owner in the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, Yan Saburo was curious, since Ma Dongjia is called the "three shopkeepers", then there should be three owners in the Chamber of Commerce, how do you look at it, there are only two?

Later, he learned that the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper were originally brothers, but the second shopkeeper was suddenly infected with an epidemic last autumn and passed away within three days, and Yang Hengxi didn't even have a chance to go to Yun Xiufeng to help him ask for medicine, so there were only two owners left in the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce from then on.

However, the history of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce has never been mentioned in the account room. Yan Saburo asked, and Steward Xu dealt with it with a haha. Chitose teased him at that time, and there must have been something inconvenient to talk about.

Really.

At this time, Chitose remembered that he was a novice in common sense, and he was kind enough to popularize science for him: "Well, the so-called foreign disciples are different from their own disciples." The latter is taught and supervised by Mei Jing herself, such as Duanfang, which has to be a person with outstanding natural resources and endowments to have a chance, and the number is very small; The Sha Sect claims to have three thousand disciples, and there are only three peak leaders like Mei Jing, and under normal circumstances, he has no chance to accept Mei Jing's personal teachings. ”

She snorted slightly: "In fact, all the big and small Xuanmen are generally full of outsiders like Yang Hengxi. Their own qualifications are not the best, but they are an important cornerstone of Xuanmen and contribute to Xuanmen. ”

What is a cornerstone? The cornerstone is the base layer, which is to be pressed at the bottom by the rest of the building. "From a secular point of view, the disciples of the Sha Sect seem to be very powerful, but in the Xuanmen, the most important thing is the teacher system and inheritance. There is a strict hierarchy, and between the true disciples and the outer disciples, there is a difference between cloud and mud. Chitose said leisurely, "This Yang Hengxi Yang Dadong, he tried his best to only be an outsider. ”

Yan Saburo's eyes moved slightly. He is now stepping into the path of cultivation with half a foot, and his vision is better than before, and he can see that Yang Hengxi is walking vigorously, full of qi and blood, and practicing kung fu is already very strong. "Such a person is just a foreigner in the Sha Sect?"

"Of course. Chitose chuckled, "Look at Yang Hengxi, do you think he is already very powerful?"

Yan Saburo nodded.

"He is indeed diligent, but he has already touched his own barriers, and he can no longer break through. "Chitose hit the nail on the head," like most people, his qualifications and understanding are insurmountable barriers. ”

Yan Saburo was thoughtful. If he can enter the Xuanmen, he will probably only be able to mix with one outsider, right?

Chitose easily saw his thoughts: "Of course. If the master thinks you are mediocre, you can only be mediocre. In the Xuanmen, whether there is a mentor to guide or not, and the inclination of resources is almost destined to the future achievements of the different scholars. ”

She then continued: "This Yang Hengxi has been in the Sha Sect for more than 20 years, and he also knows that his achievements have come to an end, so he has to come out and form a Hengxi Chamber of Commerce with the Ma family brothers. ”

She smiled lightly: "I think he plans to earn worldly gold and silver while saving materials to support his own cultivation, after all, if you have money, you can do a lot." He flattered the peak leader of Yun Xiufeng everywhere, and obviously got a lot of guidance and resources from her—this person still didn't completely die for cultivation. ”

"This Ma family brother is his playmate since he was a child, Ma Da is good at dancing with long sleeves, good at words, Ma Erying is slightly square and business-minded. These two people, plus Yang Hengxi, who is strong in foreign skills and strong in force, have set up the team of the Chamber of Commerce, not only doing serious business transactions, but also doing some escort and escort tasks. ”

Yan Saburo nodded again. To this day, the main business of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce is almost these two, otherwise why do you need to raise a huge horse team?

In the early days of the Chamber of Commerce, Yang Hengxi's role was in this.

"But starting from scratch, from small to large, is always doubly difficult. The Hengxi Chamber of Commerce developed well in the early stage, but it encountered a bottleneck in less than two years, especially because of the problem of business customers, and was squeezed out by the largest local Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce. ”

"If you ask the locals of Liupei now, which was the most prosperous and largest chamber of commerce ten years ago, they will tell you that it is the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the business of this chamber of commerce was done in the surrounding three cities and seven townships, covering the seventeen counties and towns in the east of the sand boundary, and the hair of the legs was thicker than the thighs of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce. was suppressed by the Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce was almost dissolved on the spot. ”

"But none of these three owners are fuel-efficient lamps, and in the end they came up with a solution. They took out more than half of their family funds, found someone to match, went to Mei Fengchang's place to sell and beg, and let her join the big shares, and finally won Yun Xiufeng's support. Chitose smiled when he said this, "These powerful and elders in the Xuanmen are actually willing to accept secular offerings. It's better to have money in your hand than anything else. ”

"After finding a backer, there is only one biggest obstacle left in front of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce. ”

Yan Saburo said in a low voice: "Hongyuan Chamber of Commerce?"

"Exactly. Chitose said thirstily and knocked on the table, "Pour me tea!"

Yan Saburo returned to the hospital and began to boil water, which happened to be boiling at this time. He listened attentively and obediently made her a cup of tea.

"It's too hot. She took a sip, dissatisfied.

Yan Saburo didn't say a word, took the tea cup and was about to give her a cold white open.

"Alright, bring it!" Chitose rolled his eyes and snatched the teacup. He's suddenly so obedient, it's not funny at all!
