After the officers and soldiers around Ji Mansion withdrew, Gu learned the news immediately.

As soon as the crisis in Ji Mansion was resolved, Gu Huaisheng came to visit again. At that time, he looked worried.

He came to inquire about news. Ji Wuyin told everything he could, such as Xie Zhan's ambitions. He didn't tell anything he couldn't, such as the news about Qin Sheng and Xue Xu in the South. Qin Sheng absolutely couldn't tell.

Xue Xu nodded vaguely.

Ji Wuyin even mentioned his plan to evacuate the Southland.

At this time, Gu Huaisheng also had a strong sense of crisis.

"Uncle Shi, can you introduce me to someone from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce?"

Ji Wuyin:Huh?

"Aren't they selling a foot-operated threshing machine recently? My subordinates said it is very useful. You also know that a big family like ours has quite a lot of fields. This threshing machine is of great use to us.

"

"As for me, I want to meet with the head of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce to discuss this deal. Our Gu family needs a lot of threshing machines. Can you help recommend them?"

This is a big deal. Ji Wuyin knew that the price of a foot-operated threshing machine was not low. "Okay, I will ask you about this. If possible, I will arrange for you both to meet."

"Thank you very much, Uncle Shi."

When Gu Huaisheng left, his expression finally became lighter.

It's night, Xie Mansion

The lights in Xie Zhan's study were still on in the middle of the night.

At this time, a figure wearing night clothes came out in front of him.

Xie Zhan stopped the pen in his hand and raised his eyes to look at the person coming, "Are you here? Sit down wherever you want."

He asked him to sit wherever he wanted, and Xie Wei really found a seat at random and sat down. "Why did you summon me so urgently this time?"

Xie Zhan looked at the brother in front of him who was 60-70% similar to himself, "Let's find a way to destroy your face when you execute the announcement."

Originally, Xie Zhan wanted him to find a chance to fake his death and escape from the Southern Conquest Army. But he couldn't bear it. Xie Wei is now very famous in the Southern Conquest Army. Furthermore, if something happens to Xie Wei, it will give people the impression that there is no silver in this place.

The feeling of two will make Lu Songli lock the target.

Now his proposal still has shortcomings, and it will be improved in the future.

When Xie Wei heard this, he was furious, "You are dreaming!"

"If you don't want to cause trouble for yourself or the family, just do as I say." Xie Zhan had a tough attitude.

Seeing that he was serious, Xie Wei asked, "You suddenly made such an excessive request, you have to let me know what happened, right?"

Xie Zhan had no choice but to tell the whole story.

Xie Wei pointed at his nose and scolded, "Xie Zhan, you are so good. I'll let the whole clan wipe your ass for all the love debt you've caused!" Then he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Xie Zhan only felt a huge headache.

…

For the current Southland, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's book store is under siege, and the scholars are undoubtedly the ones who have the biggest objections.

How many days have their good days lasted? Are they gone?

As a result, during the siege of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's library, there were always scholars lingering around.

The next day, people discovered that the officers and soldiers from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's bookstore had finally withdrawn.

Immediately afterwards, the four stores of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Book Store in the southeast, northwest and northwest hung up red cloths. The red cloth said: The book store is about to close due to poor management. Currently, all items in the store are on sale at a discount.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Countless scholars poured into the store and surrounded the shopkeeper to ask their doubts.

"Are you going to close? You've only been open for a few days!"

"Your bookstore business is so good, why is it not running well? Is someone forcing you?"

The old man who spoke also glanced vaguely at Lu's book shop next to him. Lu's book shop was still deserted.

Another person asked, "Are you selling book paper at too low a price and then making ends meet?"

Before Wu Ren could speak, everyone suggested:

"Shopkeeper Wu, please raise the price a bit, so that the bookstore can continue to operate. We can all accept it."

"Yes, yes, adjust the price appropriately. We can accept it. Don't close the store."

Wu Ren smiled inwardly, they are such a lovely group of people.

He then said, "The Southland is too unfriendly, we have to go back to Liaodong County."

The scholars present did not agree with what he said. What? The people in the south are obviously very friendly!

Wu Ren sighed, "We foreign businessmen can't compete with the local local tigers. If we are surrounded by officers and soldiers from time to time like this time, it will do great harm to the reputation of the bookstore. Those who don't know, they think we are

What did the bookstore do that violated the law?"

Scholars: Got it, they know who is unfriendly to the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce book shop.

They expressed their opinions one after another.

"When the bookstore was surrounded before, I said it must be the Lu family's fault, just to exclude dissidents."

"Indeed, the relationship between the Lu family and the government is very close."

"Mr. Lu still has the nerve to do this, his products are extremely expensive!"

"Shopkeeper Wu, if you leave, will we no longer be able to buy such cheap books and paper in the future?"

Wu Ren said with a smile, "Actually, snow-gloss paper is cheaper in our Liaodong County. We shipped it all the way here, so the cost has increased, so the price will naturally be higher."

"How cheap is it?" someone was curious.

Wu Ren smiled and uttered four words, "One sword and ten coins!"

Scholars:!!!

"Is this true or false?"

"Are you really not losing money at this price?"

"If you can sell it, you will definitely not lose money."

"Mr. Lu is not a good person!"

"Lu's profiteer!"

"What about books? Are your books also very cheap in Liaodong County?"

"Yes." Wu Ren greeted quickly, "Everyone, let's take a pick. This opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come back. The books and papers in our store are really sold to everyone at a loss this time."

The Lu family gave one hundred thousand taels of silver to the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce and its bookstores to withdraw from the south.

After Wu Ren collected the money, he said he would give them two days to handle the remaining matters, and the Lu family agreed.

But the Lu family didn't expect that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Book Store was ruining their Lu family's reputation!

After Lu's manager reported the matter to Lu Fei, Lu Fei had someone deal with it immediately.

The person in charge of the Lu family found Wu Ren and asked him to close the store immediately!

"But, we haven't finished processing the things in the store."

"I'll give you ten thousand taels, and you can take the things with you!"

Wu Ren took the money and immediately said, "Of course it's no problem."

Then he asked the head of the Lu family to give them a chance to say goodbye and close the door. The head of the Lu family emphasized that they could no longer ruin the reputation of the Lu family, so Wu Ren naturally agreed.

The next day, the four stores of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookshop in the southeast, northwest and northwest cities began to give away free books and the four treasures of the study to old customers on a first-come, first-served basis.

For a time, the four stores were crowded.

After sending everything out, Wu Rencai stood on the high platform and said with a smile, "Everyone, we are really going to close this time."

The scholars were very reluctant to give up.

"I want to go to Liaodong County."

"However, the literary style in our south is still more prosperous. I heard in Liaodong County that there are not many literate people there, and the government schools and other things are all abandoned and furnished."

Wu Ren waited for them to discuss for a while before he said with a smile, "Everyone, the academy we are preparing for in Houcheng, Liaodong County is about to be completed. Our parent officer, Lord Lu Deshenglu, the governor of Liaodong County, will become the honorary mountain chief of our academy.

Mr. Wu hereby welcomes all of you to come and visit us.”

"Um?"

"Lu Desheng? Is he the one who was inscribed on the Sanjue Monument with the late emperor and the three mountain chiefs?"

"it's him."

Before closing the door, Wu Ren gave a last salute, "Everyone, the green mountains will not change and the green water will always flow. Wu wants Liaodong County to be waiting for you."

"Lu Desheng, that's really worth a trip."
Chapter completed!
