After crossing, I spoil my husband

Fu Mingyou put his arms around each other and smiled, chatted with his husband for a while, handed the small glutinous rice balls in his arms to Xia Yanxi, and went directly to the study to look at the envelope Mu Xingzhou gave him.

When Mu Xingzhou opened it, he found that Mu Xingzhou asked him about the auction. After all, Mu Xingzhou is a big businessman in the capital, so of course he received the invitation from Fu Mingyou. It's clear, but I still want to ask what is the specific situation.

The road conditions in the capital must be better, but the road conditions in the official roads and other places are not very good at this time, so this cement road must be very much needed.

Now Fu Mingyou knew the content of this letter, but it was not the time yet, and it happened that he would have a rest tomorrow, so he just went directly to Mu's house to find the other party.

But he also guessed why Fu Mingyou was looking for him, probably because of the auction, the other party might feel unsure about paying attention, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for him.

"Sir, it's time to eat."

Xia Yanxi took the small glutinous rice balls and said with a smile to Fu Mingyou.

Fu Mingyou nodded and left the study: "Okay, here we come."

The family had dinner, and then the couple wandered around the yard with small glutinous rice balls.

The next day, Fu Mingyou went directly to Mu Xingzhou after breakfast. Now Fu Mingyou is considered a petty official, and he has a very good relationship with the Mu family, so when the concierge saw Fu Mingyou, he immediately smiled. Go in with each other.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile and said, "Can Xingzhou stay at home?"

Since the other party is curious about the auction, of course he will tell the other party.Although he is not a serious official anymore, there will be nothing, so he can talk about it.

The concierge responded with a smile: "Master Fu, this way, the master is at home."

In fact, Mu Xingzhou had already told the concierge earlier that if Fu Mingyou found him, he could just take him to him.

Fu Mingyou followed behind the doorman and went straight to Mu Xingzhou.

"Ming You, you are here, sit down quickly."

Mu Xingzhou was settling accounts, and when he saw Fu Mingyou, he immediately went up to him.

Fu Mingyou walked over with a smile, and then looked at the other party who was making a plan, and suddenly remembered what he had forgotten before.

Although the abacus is a very commonly used tool for calculating accounts in ancient times, it is still very difficult for people who do not know how to calculate accounts, but the numbers are still very simple. Anyway, it is much more convenient than this abacus.

"Mingyou, the invitation you gave me earlier, is it for the auction of the things in the palace or together with the road section?"

Mu Xingzhou poured him a glass of water and asked curiously.

Fu Fu Mingyou smiled and said: "Of course they are auctioned together, and the two should be auctioned together. Why do you have to intentionally auction these?"

For the Mu family, there should be quite a lot of things rewarded by the emperor. The other party may not need to auction this kind of things, so what the other party wants to buy should be the road section.

Hearing this, Mu Xingzhou couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Of course, I know you. You are a good businessman. This thing will definitely be very useful in the future. How about it? Do you want to follow me?" Say something?"

Fu Mingyou glanced at the other party, and said: "I really can't tell you this, but you have to pay attention, after all, I invite rich businessmen from our country of Li, and they have a lot of money. , I think you can auction off the road in the suburbs of Beijing, and then I plan to clean up the suburbs of Beijing.”

He plans to make it an area for eating, drinking and having fun. In this way, some rich people in the capital city and those rich people in nearby state capitals can go shopping and have fun. .Ordinary people can also take a look, after all, it is impossible for all the things he made to cost money.

"That section is still of great development significance and use value. You will definitely not lose money when you shoot that section. I think those businessmen basically take pictures of roads and sections leading to other countries. There are quite a lot of things for sale in the country, and the auction part is more valuable for them.”

Not only that, but Fu Mingyou also plans to widen the official roads. The official roads are very narrow now, and it is not suitable for two cars to drive side by side. If possible, they can be widened, which is very convenient for ordinary people.

After Mu Xingzhou heard this, he immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, then I will listen to your auction to buy the section of road in the suburbs of Beijing. If you or the imperial court plan to clean up that section of the road in the future, Then I definitely won’t lose money.”

Mu Xingzhou knew that Fu Mingyou was very good at doing business. Since the other party had this plan, and the other party was originally from the Ministry of Industry, he heard from his father that people in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households now admire Fu Mingyou, so he decided to Even the adults in the household department are eagerly hoping that Fu Mingyou can work in them.

Fu Mingyou nodded with a smile, and said: "Next, you should prepare some money anyway. There will definitely be many rich merchants in the auction. If you don't have enough money, tell me when the time comes, and I can lend you some money."

Fu Mingyou is also rich. If Mu Xingzhou really doesn't have enough money, he can borrow some. After all, they are all friends.Moreover, he really intends to develop the suburbs of Beijing. At that time, each family and His Majesty will be able to participate in the shares, and he will definitely make a profit without losing money.

Mu Xingzhou nodded with a smile, and said, "Thank you then. I'll make a deal. If it's not enough for you, I'm sure I won't be polite to you."

Fu Mingyou chatted with him for a while, then pointed to the abacus not far away, and said, "You usually use the abacus to settle accounts, don't you?"

Mu Xingzhou nodded, and asked inexplicably, "Yeah, what's the matter, is there any problem?"

Fu Mingyou smiled, and said: "You have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone here, let me use it. I will write you a formula first, and you memorize it. Next, I will teach you something. It’s still very beneficial.”

Next, Fu Mingyou wrote down the numbers and multiplication formulas on the paper. He only taught Xiaotangyuan and Xiaobao before, but he forgot. He learned to count, and it is still very useful in reading bills, etc. of.

Mu Xingzhou stood next to him curiously, watching the other party write each strange character, and the look of confusion in his eyes became more serious.

"Come on, Xingzhou, you learn from me first." Mu Xingzhou is also a disciple of everyone, and there is no problem with reading, so Fu Mingyou plans to teach the other party to read first, and then explain to the other party, of course , Just in case, he still wrote one, two, three in traditional characters aside, so that Mu Xingzhou would know the meaning of these things, and it would be convenient for him to remember.

Mu Xingzhou hesitated, and said, "Mingyou, do you have to learn this?"

He thinks it's good to use an abacus to settle accounts. He has already passed the stage of going to the academy for enlightenment, so why not just do it like this?

Seeing how much the other party wanted to escape, Fu Mingyou still smiled: "Xingzhou, listen to me, learning this thing will only benefit you and not harm you. In the future, you will understand that these things are very useful, but compared to Your calculations are much better."

Looking at the opponent's appearance, Mu Xingzhou knew that he couldn't hide, so he sat aside and waited for the opponent to learn these numbers.

After Fu Mingyou taught the other party the numbers, he stuffed the multiplication formula into the other party's hand: "You remember to memorize this, and I will check it when I have time. When you memorize it, I can teach you addition, subtraction, multiplication and division." , you have learned arithmetic before, and you will learn it quickly."

The other party's simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division must be no problem. What he wants to teach must be a little more complicated. More importantly, sometimes it is very convenient to use this thing to look at the accounts. Although the abacus is good, it must not have this OK.

Looking at Fu Mingyou's appearance, Mu Xingzhou really couldn't refuse, and nodded directly, expressing that he would definitely write these things down.

Fu Mingyou didn't stay at Mu's house for long. Originally, Mr. Mu knew that Fu Mingyou was here and wanted to invite him to have dinner at home, but when he sent someone to go, Fu Mingyou had already left Mu's house for a while. .

After Fu Mingyou went back, he called Xiaotangyuan and Xiaobao over. He wanted to ask how the two of them were doing their multiplication formulas and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Xiaobao and Xiaotangyuan had learned these things with Fu Mingyou before. , for them, they still prefer these.

After Fu Mingyou left Mu's house, Mu Shangshu was a little curious when he heard that Mu Xingzhou was studying. Then he went directly to the other party's yard. When I got the multiplication formula of nine, I was still a little curious.

"Xingzhou, what is this thing you are carrying?"

Mu Shangshu looked at Mu Xingzhou curiously, and asked inexplicably.The thing the other party is studying is definitely not an ordinary subject, and he has never heard of it before.

After Mu Xingzhou saw Mu Shangshu, he stopped immediately, and then passed the things in his hand: "Father, Ming You taught me this, so I must learn it by heart. He is teaching me about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. .”

After seeing his father, Mu Xingzhou immediately told about what Fu Mingyou had said before.

Mu Shangshu glanced at the multiplication formula in the opponent's hand, then sat aside, paused, and said, "Since Xiao Fu planned to develop the suburban area, you should follow his advice and auction off the section of road over there. That's enough, Xiao Fu's business acumen is still very strong."

Mu Shangshu also felt that Fu Mingyou was very good at doing business, and his ability to save money was even better. It was a pity that Fu Mingyou didn't come to the Ministry of Accounts.

Mu Xingzhou smiled and nodded in response, and said, "Okay, if I wait until the day of the auction, I will auction the section of road over there. By the way, dad, then His Majesty's calligraphy and other treasures, shall we take pictures?"

After all, His Majesty has something to auction, so as subjects, shouldn't they also auction it according to the occasion?

Hearing this, Mu Shangshu couldn't help but smiled, and said: "No need, but it's okay to raise the price, although it may not be able to be photographed, it also means that we have photographed, but we still have to let other businessmen take the auction as the reason." Lord, we have all the things His Majesty rewarded in our family, but for other merchants, His Majesty's treasures all occupy the title of the royal family, and they will definitely fight for it."

After hearing this, Mu Xingzhou knew what to do, and he said directly, "Okay, Dad, I know what I should do."

Mu Shangshu nodded, and returned the multiplication formula in his hand to the other party: "Since Xiao Fu said that this is useful for calculating accounts, it must be very good. You study hard, but don't let Xiao Fu down."

My son is really lucky, to have such a good friend as Fu Mingyou, it is considered a fool's blessing.

Mu Xingzhou responded with a smile, and said, "Okay, Dad, I know, I will definitely work hard." If this thing is really useful for settling accounts, in the final analysis he took advantage of it, and this is also Fu Mingyou For his own good, of course he will not be evil.

At this time, Fu Mingyou, who was at home, checked how Xiaobao and Xiaotangyuan were doing in math school, and felt a little relieved.

The next thing Fu Mingyou has to do is to wait for the auction to come. He is almost ready now, and the matter of the waterwheel has been pushed down, so Fu Mingyou still feels relieved.

Before the auction started, Fu Mingyou directly told the craftsmen the methods of movable type printing and papermaking, hoping that they could make them, especially movable type printing, which is still relatively simple, but papermaking is just It is a little more complicated, and the craftsmen need to study it carefully.

But fortunately, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry are all very powerful. They recognize some of Fu Mingyou's ideas very much, and they are very enthusiastic. Everyone is actively working together to find a way, so no matter what you do, you are the one who twists and turns. share energy.

The matter of the water truck has gone down before. The first people to use it were the people near the suburbs of Beijing. After they knew about the water truck, they tried it and found that it could really transport water. They were very happy. It is really a joy to carry water. It is a very tiring thing, but with the waterwheel, it is much more convenient.

The common people were very excited, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace, thanking His Majesty for his kindness.On the morning of the auction, Fu Mingyou followed Mu Shangshu to the treasury to pick out some things. There were not only a lot of white silver, but also a lot of calligraphy and paintings, precious bottles, beautiful screens, and many treasures.

"My lord, it's almost enough for us to prepare twenty."

Fu Mingyou looked at the things inside, and said to Mu Shangshu beside him.

Mu Shangshu nodded, and then looked at Fu Mingyou: "Little Fu, you can choose one. Among them, the calligraphy and paintings that have His Majesty's private seal are made by His Majesty himself."

Before Fu Mingyou said that one of the items to be auctioned must be written or drawn by His Majesty himself, so as to attract the attention of those rich merchants and allow them to spend a lot of money.

Fu Mingyou responded with a smile, then looked carefully, and picked out a calligraphy and painting. This calligraphy and painting is mainly a painting, and beside it is a poem written by His Majesty, which can be said to be a combination of calligraphy and painting.

In addition to calligraphy and paintings, there are also precious bottles, jade pendants and other things. Fu Mingyou picked some of them. Things are registered in the register, which means they have gone out.

"I would like to trouble you to carry these things to the moon comers."

Fu Mingyou bowed his hands to the guards of the Imperial Army and said with a smile.

The location of the auction this time is in the largest inn in the capital, Yue Lai Ke, the third floor of Yue Lai Ke is the location of the auction. In private, it should be there.

Waiting outside is the leader of the forbidden army. The other party has long known Fu Mingyou, who is loved by His Majesty and trusted by many ministers. Although the other party is only a seventh-rank official now, the future is promising and the future can be expected. Of course he won't put on airs.

Mu Shangshu looked at Fu Mingyou and smiled, "You guys go first, we will arrive later."

Because they have to wear official uniforms, only in this way can the businessmen trust them.

When the imperial guards were carrying the boxes to the moon visitors, the people in the capital looked at them and backed away a little. After all, the common people were still very afraid of these officials.

When everyone stopped at Yue Lai Ke, the boss of Yue Lai Ke came over immediately. He already knew that some nobles were going to auction things here today, and the auctions were all His Majesty's things, so he prepared the place early .

"My lords, you are here. I have already cleaned up the third floor."

The shopkeeper saluted Fu Ming and said immediately.

Fu Mingyou nodded, looked at the people on the side, and said, "Please carry these things to the third floor, please be gentle."

These are all things that need to be auctioned in a while. The money for the cement road is expected to come from here. This time, there will be only three people, Mu Shangshu and Cen Shangshu, but there will be many officials secretly. Look, even His Majesty, he also subdued himself, wanting to take a look.

Everyone agreed, then carried the boxes and walked lightly towards the third floor.

Surrounded by the spectators, some people were curious, while some people came here to auction things. They were convinced that what the previous invitation letter said was true, and they really came to the right place.

Although Fu Mingyou sent out some invitation letters before, some people didn't believe them, even if they were printed on them, and some felt that this trip was not worth it, as there might be treasures in the palace and their homes.

But at this time, the wealthy businessmen who came were very happy, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

You know, although it is just an auction, the meaning is different. This time the auction was brought by high-ranking officials, and it was specified that the money in the auction was used for road construction, so some smarter businessmen combined Come to think of it, it's still pretty cheap.

After getting all the things up, Fu Mingyou took a rough look at the surrounding layout, and couldn't help but smile. The preparations are almost done, and the rest will start in the afternoon.
