Li Yuanjing walked out of the inn and happened to meet Mr. Dong going inside nervously and excitedly. The moment the two met, Mr. Dong did not forget to give Li Yuanjing a grateful look.
Li Yuanjing subconsciously exchanged glances with Mr. Dong. When he came outside the inn and was blown by the howling cold wind, he realized that——
All around him...
It was actually already soaked by a layer of white hair sweat...
I really can't even dream of it...
Zhang Zhiji, a young man of the same age as him, would be nothing more than a brat that even Mao would not understand in future generations, but he would actually bring him such terrible pressure...
"Master, where are we going now?"
At this time.
Zhang Kun carefully came over and asked in a low voice. Li Yuanjing came back from the shock, thought for a moment and said:
"Go back to your old place and settle down first."
"yes."
Being guarded by Zhang Kun and other young men all the way towards the inn where he originally stayed, Li Yuanjing felt better and had some sense of security.
At this time, if anyone dares to tell Li Yuanjing that the ancients were stupid, he will definitely tear off that person's head and kick it as a ball!
Such as Zhang Zhiji's level of golden branches and jade leaves.
Even if he is really stupid, with such terrifying influence, if he really wants to kill someone, it is no different than crushing an ant to death.
Don't be stubborn.
People are born unequal.
However, although he had been slightly passively drawn into the situation at this time, Li Yuanjing had calmed down and was not that weak.
Regardless of what Zhang Zhiji said just now, he set a limit of 20,000 taels and counted the extra money from the Liu family as a benefit to Li Yuanjing.
But Li Yuanjing is not a newbie who has just entered society, how can he take it seriously?
this matter!
Ten percent to ten is Zhang Zhiji's test against Li Yuanjing, which in Jianghu parlance is called "a certificate of fame".
If Li Yuanjing doesn't do this well, especially if he doesn't do it cleanly, then Li Yuanjing will never get any benefits from Zhang Zhiji in the future.
Now Zhang Zhiji will spit out ten percent of what Zhang Zhiji gave him back with interest.
If you can't create value for Zhang Zhiji, who is as good as Zhang Zhiji, why should he give you benefits?
At this time, the secret of Vice President Wang Qian given by Xiu Gu was not used, but it made Li Yuanjing feel more at ease.
The reason is not complicated.
Although Zhang Zhiji is now very powerful, in fact, this guy is still playing a simple and crude high-pressure policy!
Just like the blind expansion of later generations of companies after they got the right time and place.
It is true that at a certain point, no one dares to challenge you, but this kind of expansion inherently carries "original sin" and instability.
With the trump card in hand, why should Li Yuanjing be in a hurry?
As for the Liu family and his son, Li Yuanjing was even less anxious.
Now they have to cry and beg him, Li Yuanjing. How can Li Yuanjing lower his status?
Notice.
This is also a very critical core!
At this time, Li Yuanjing not only represented himself, but also represented Zhang Zhiji. How could Zhang Zhiji lose his face?
…
Back at the inn here, Chen Chuxue had come back a long time ago. She quickly brought the bill to Li Yuanjing and said excitedly:
"Master, this time we exchanged a total of thirty-two taels of silver, and the cost was only about fifteen taels, which is a decent 10% profit."
"Besides, we haven't deliberately added more looms yet. We only have fifteen looms now. If we continue to add more looms, then..."
Looking at Chen Chuxue's beautiful eyes full of endless hope, she was a little excited and speechless. Li Yuanjing couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth and said:
"Two out of these thirty-two taels will be regarded as your dividends and bonuses. However, Miss Chen, I have a request for you!"
"Ai……"
Chen Chuxue, who was about to kneel down to thank Li Yuanjing in ecstasy, couldn't help but blush...
Against the background of the black veil on her face, she seemed to have become the exclusive beauty in the harem of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, full of a unique exotic style...
"Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, slave, slave, I'm listening..."
Li Yuanjing was about to talk business with Chen Chuxue, but he didn't expect that this girl suddenly blushed, which confused him...
At this critical moment, the environment was a bit too ambiguous, which gave Mu Ran, who was already normal, new hope...
but.
Li Yuanjing quickly recovered and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
In his current situation, how can he have time to think about this?
Furthermore.
Chen Chuxue is not a beautiful aunt. If he really wants to touch Chen Chuxue and doesn't marry her into his wife, it will be difficult for him to settle the matter.
At least at this stage, Li Yuanjing must not be hasty.
smiled and said:
"Miss Chen, I mean, there is no problem for you to work hard in the future, but you must pay more attention to your health, eat well, and use it more when you have time."
"Forehead……"
Chen Chuxue, who originally had a pretty face like a red cloud and was full of endless hope, felt as if a basin of cold water was suddenly poured from head to sole, and her pretty face turned pale at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
Trembling and Weiwei said:
"Master, slave, slave knows..."
Seeing that Chen Chuxue was a little unable to stand, Li Yuanjing was also speechless and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Women in this era are much more difficult to deal with than those in later generations...
Many traditional shackles make them seem to be a little stuck...
But Li Yuanjing reacted quickly and quickly changed the topic:
"Miss Chen, I went to see my young father-in-law today, and I also discovered a lot of my shortcomings. I just saw a bookstore outside. You happen to be literate, so help me buy some more books. The provincial examination will be held soon.
I have to take advantage of this time to review more."
"Ai?"
Seeing Li Yuanjing take out a bag of silver fruits and place it in front of him, Chen Chuxue was stunned for a moment, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn rosy.
turn out to be……
He wants to review his lessons carefully, it's not that he doesn't like him...
Busy and respectfully said:
"Master, which books do you want?"
…
After sending Chen Chuxue away, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh while smelling the fragrance left by the sweetheart in the room.
This era is indeed very friendly to men.
but.
The biggest difference from later generations is...
You can't solve the problem directly with money, but you have to be responsible...
but.
Li Yuanjing was not just trying to trick Chen Chuxue just now, he really wanted to review his lessons.
Through today's exchange with Zhang Zhiji, Li Yuanjing keenly grasped an extremely important core point!
identity!
This thing is no different from the 'organization' of later generations.
Even though the general environment at this time was no different from that of the late Ming Dynasty, Li Yuanjing had to first obtain the title of 'scholar' or even 'juren'!
This time.
Only then did he truly become a family with the scholars all over the world, and he was truly a disciple of Mingjiao who had "made it to the top".
in this way.
Only then can you consider whether to go to Beijing to take part in the examination.
soon.
Chen Chuxue bought all the information Li Yuanjing needed and carefully placed them in the room. She also handed Li Yuanjing the bill, which cost a total of twenty taels.
This amount left Li Yuanjing speechless...
Or say, 'No matter how poor a family is, it is difficult to produce a noble son'.
In this era, knowledge is basically monopolized by the ruling class. Not only are books expensive, but paper is even more expensive. Except for the powerful gentry and powerful people, how can the common people afford such expensive expenses if they don't even have enough to eat?
If it weren't for Li Yuanjing's father, Li Laoshi, who had the foresight and tightened his belt several times, Li Yuanjing would never have had such a learning opportunity.
After Chen Chuxue helped Li Yuanjing pack up, she went out obediently. Before leaving, she didn't forget to add some firewood to Li Yuanjing's brazier.
Li Yuanjing greedily sniffed the fragrance left by Chen Chuxue, and then began to calm down and review his homework.
However, Li Yuanjing had just been reviewing for half an hour when Chen Chuxue knocked anxiously on the door:
"My boss, Mr. Liu Yunliu from Liuji Trading Company, and your classmate Liu Haoran, Mr. Liu, are here. They said they have important matters and want to see you. Are they waiting outside?"
"oh?"
Li Yuanjing suddenly smiled, and then the smile spread on his face and said:
"Tell them I'm not free today and ask them to come back tomorrow!"
