Guan Zhou's mood was also messed up by Guan's father and mother. After Gu Beizhi thanked the village chief and brother Hong Sheng next door, when he came back, he saw Guan Zhou's expression was not very good, and he looked abnormally white.

"Xiao Zhou, let's go back to eat." He took Guan Zhou home.

Guan Zhou had lost his appetite, so he reluctantly ate some and then put it down. Gu Beizhi didn't stop him, but when Guan Zhou took the two children to wash and went back to the room to rest, he put the food back into the pot and put it on the stove. A thicker piece of firewood was added to ensure that the fire kept burning slowly.

The Gu family's Mid-Autumn Festival didn't end well, but fortunately, being able to eat well and dress well, and the family is harmonious, has made a big difference.

On the other side, Guan Nanhu's house was in a mess. They originally planned to get at least two catties of meat, but they only got back two pieces of cake, and his son Guan Qiao lost both of them.

Guan Nanhu coaxed his son, who lost his temper, but the father and son looked like "filial sons and grandsons", it was just that the father was filial to his son.

After coaxing his son, Guan Nanhu and his wife discussed it. Both of them felt that it was a pity. It seems that two taels of silver is a bit too much. If Gu Bei knows, let's reduce it next time.

"Father, if it doesn't work, let's just ask for one or two taels. Then Gu Beizhi only pays more than one or two taels from the yamen, so he can't stop giving it?"

"Wang Ergou said that he is stingy and stingy. I still don't believe it. He is a scholar. How much money is there? Take a look today, isn't he just a stingy man and a scholar? I'm sorry! Let's go again next time. You must ask for a tael of silver."

"That's right, we haven't eaten meat for several months, and one tael of silver is not enough." Guan's mother salivated when she thought of the taste of meat.

"His mother, we have to discuss it carefully. Why do we want this money next time? It's all due to the village chief's meddling. Otherwise, we can get two catties of meat today." Guan Fu didn't like it, thinking The meat was eaten.

"That's right, he doesn't care about our family's affairs!" Guan's mother clicked her mouth greedily.

The two discussed for a long time, but they didn't seem to come up with any good solution.

Gu Beizhi didn't know that Guan Nanhu and his wife would come to find trouble, so he gave in, but obviously people's hearts are not so easily satisfied.

Early the next morning, Gu Beizhi and Guan Yang met at the entrance of the village. They made an appointment to go to the town together. Guan Yang was going back to his husband's home for class, and Gu Beizhi had to go to work.

"Brother, did uncle and aunt go to your house yesterday?" Guan Yang heard his mother and his father talk about this last night. Second Aunt Guan was as angry as a gourd. She wanted to go to Guan Nanhu's house to argue, but was stopped by his father. down.

Uncle Guan knows his elder brother and sister-in-law better. This matter is definitely not over yet. What's the use of arguing now, he has to find a way to dispel the idea of ​​brother and sister-in-law. The husband and wife discussed it behind closed doors for a long time, and still He took out the money saved at home and counted it for a long time.

"You heard about it too?" Gu Beizhi only knew that the news spread quickly in the village, but he didn't expect that what happened at night could spread so quickly.

Guan Yang nodded, "Brother, my uncle... In short, please forgive me, my brother is really not easy, you must not be angry because of uncle and his family, if you can choose, my brother is not willing to do this, alas ..."

The younger generation can’t blame the elders, even if Guan Yang has a stomachache, he can only bear not to mention it, so that his brother-in-law can understand more, but if Gu Beizhi gets angry, there is nothing he can do.

Guan Yang is 21 years old this year, and he has already reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, but he always thinks about passing the examination as a scholar.

Second Uncle Guan and Second Aunt Guan had plans in mind. Although they had been saving money, they never mentioned the matter of telling Guan Yang their daughter-in-law.

"Ah Yang, don't worry, your brother and I are doing well, I will take care of his parents' affairs." Gu Beizhi patted Guan Yang's head.

This is especially good in ancient times. There were very few bear children, and a child as old as Guan Yang was already very sensible, and could even support a family.

As if seeing a filial and sensible junior, Gu Beizhi patted Guan Yang and changed the subject, "How is your memorization of "Mencius"? Did you understand everything I told you last time?"

"It's time to recite the question and strategy chapter. I'll write a new article about my feelings, and I'll show it to my brother-in-law at noon." As soon as he mentioned knowledge, Guan Yang immediately concentrated his attention.

"Very well, then I will test your recitation first, "Shun went to the field and wept in Mintian, why did he weep for him? "Gu Beizhi raised his head.

"Mencius said: "Resentment and admiration. Wan Zhang said: "When parents love them, they are happy but never forget; when parents hate them, they work but never complain."But does Shun complain? "" Guan Yang recited the following paragraphs fluently.

"Very well, what do you think about living in sorrow and dying in peace?" Gu Beizhi asked another explanation.

Guan Yang explained his own understanding, and it can be seen that he has a good understanding of it, but because of his age and experience, this understanding is still too superficial and not deep enough.

Gu Beizhi knows that experience is something that no one else can help except for him to go through it himself, but he can instill something in him from another angle.

As the saying goes, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. The more books you read, the more you will understand.

"Ah Yang, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a wealthy businessman who planned to sell shoes in the southernmost area where the Yi people lived. So he hired two guys to do market research to see if the area could digest the shoes. How many shoes and what kind of shoes do you like?"

"The two guys went to this place to investigate. After a month, the two of them came back. The rich businessman asked, can the business of selling shoes be done?"

"The first guy said dejectedly, hey, no, people in this place don't wear shoes, so the shoes will definitely not be sold!"

"The second guy said confidently, this business must be booming, let's stock up more, we have every kind of shoes, and we're sure to make a lot of money."

"The rich businessman has a headache. The two guys have completely different rhetoric. What should we do?"

"A Yang, who do you think a rich businessman should listen to?" Gu Beizhi told a very common entrepreneurial story, intending to give him a little bit of thinking from simple to advanced.

Guan Yang thought about it carefully, "I think it's all right. If you listen to the first guy, the rich businessman can switch to a different business. This can avoid the risk of the goods not being sold, but it may continue to waste time."

"If you listen to the second guy, although you have to bear the risk of not being able to sell the goods, if you can sell them, the entire Yi people will come to buy his shoes, and you can make a lot of money."

At first glance, it sounds like Guan Yang is very thoughtful, taking into account the consequences of both choices, but in fact he didn't choose, so he can only talk about some theories to fool around.

Gu Bei knew how to fool him, "I can only choose one, what do you think should be chosen?"

"I...I'll choose the first one. Yi people don't like to wear shoes, so they definitely don't know how to buy shoes. It will take a lot of effort to sell them, and it may not be successful." Guan Yang struggled for a while, and still followed his own The idea in my heart was chosen.

"You can't say that this kind of thinking is wrong, but it also proves that you are not suitable to be a businessman. You see, there are several conditions in my story."

"First, rich merchants want to sell shoes. Shoes are an indispensable item in people's daily life. Second, Yi people didn't wear shoes before. They don't know the benefits of shoes, so the whole Yi people may become Clients of rich merchants."

"Third, the cost of shoes is very low, but the profit is considerable. If it becomes almost several times the income, if it can't be done, it's okay to sell it back. The only loss is the transportation cost on the road."

"Businessmen value profits, profits are high enough, why should they give up opportunities?"

Seeing that the intersection of Liujia Street was approaching, Gu Beizhi talked to Guan Yang, agreed to meet at noon, and the two separated.

The story just told was actually told casually by Gu Beizhi, and he didn't choose it deliberately, he just said it casually wherever he thought of it.

Guan Yang thought about it for a long time, and even took time in private to go to grocery stores and cloth shops to inquire about the price of fabrics, the wages of the clerks, and the price of shoes.

Finally, I calculated the general ledger and found that what my brother said was correct. Although Huolu Town is not big, there are occasional merchants passing by. The prices of goods from the south are much more expensive. Conversely, the prices of goods shipped from the north to the south are also higher. doubled.

Calculated in this way, the money that can be made by completing this business is far greater than the money lost after failure. This business must be done.

It is because of his data-oriented personality that he has gradually gained a clear understanding of many things that he did not know before.

For example, he only knows how much the grain is sold in the village and how much the grain is sold in the grain store, but he has never calculated the price difference.

Another example is that he knows the price of a piece of cotton cloth in a cloth shop, and also the price of a suit of clothing, but he doesn't know how much rice cloth is needed to make a suit of clothes.

Does Gu Bei know that Guan Yang did an investigation because of a story he told casually, and when he came to the store, Master Liu was sitting with his son drinking tea.

"Old Gu, you're here. Master Liu will be here early in the morning to wait for you." Brother Xiao Ding moved quickly, and first came up to tell Gu Bei when Master Liu came.

Gu Beizhi said he knew, and walked up to Mr. Liu, "Master Liu, good morning. This is your eldest son, he really is beautiful."

Master Liu shook his head, "Don't exaggerate, this is my parent, you can just call him by his name."

Gu Beizhi smiled, didn't answer, sat down instead, and remade a pot of tea for Master Liu.

He knows some tea ceremony. When making tea, he flows freely and is at ease. The fragrance of tea slowly overflows, which relaxes people's mind for no reason.

Liu Changqing, who had been frowning all this time, also slowly relaxed, and then a cup of tea was placed in front of him, "Young Master Liu, drink tea."

The three chatted for a while, and Gu Beizhi was unhappy when he learned that Liu Changqing was studying with Wang Qinglin and Wang Juren, and it seemed that he was not used to it.

Wang Qinglin is an influential Juren in Huolu Town. The main reason is that after him, no one has passed the Juren examination in the past ten years, but Xiucai can pass a few examinations every time.It shows how difficult it is to pass the exam, and how clever Wang Qinglin is.

Gu Beizhi didn't know much about this person, so he didn't express any opinion.

Master Liu also mentioned the purpose of his visit today, "I heard that you have a pot of poetry and prose here, is it sold by that Amuchad?"

Gu Beizhi paused, then replied, "That's right, it happened last month. Amuchad said he was short of money and sold some porcelain pots to us. The shopkeeper saw that I like porcelain, so he sold the batch All the porcelain was handed over to me for appraisal, and there was indeed a yellow-glazed and brown-colored poetry and writing pot inside."

The author has something to say: I'm about to die of pain...

Everyone, don't imitate me. Obviously my aunt came, and I drank a little cold Coke, but I was backlashed, and the pain was so painful that I wanted to cry...
