Chapter 330 The Mountains Remain Unchanged

When 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 information, and Ji Wuyin told him everything he could, such as Xie Zhan's ambitions. He didn't say anything that couldn't be said, such as the news that Qin Sheng and Xue Xu were in the South. Qin Sheng was absolutely not allowed to say that, so Xue Xu nodded cryptically.

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 appeared 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 67% similar to himself and said, "Find a way to destroy your face when you execute the announcement."

Originally, Xie Zhan wanted him to find an opportunity to fake his death and escape from the Conquering South Army. But he couldn't bear it. Xie Wei was now very famous in the Southern Army. Furthermore, if something happens to Xie Wei, it will give people the feeling that there is no silver in this place, which will make Lu Songli a 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 really good. For all the romantic debts you have caused, let me ask the whole clan to wipe your ass!" Then he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Xie Zhan only felt a huge headache.

…

Regarding the current Nandi, 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 passed since their good days? Just 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 and northwest cities 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 little 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, what 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. For 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 store.

They expressed their opinions one after another.

"When the book store 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, won't we 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 more expensive."

"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 hurriedly greeted, "Everyone, please pick and choose. Opportunities are rare and will never come back. This time, the books and paper in our store are really sold at a loss."

The Lu family gave 100,000 taels of silver to let the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore withdraw from the South.

After Wu Ren received the silver, he said that he would give them two days to deal with the remaining matters, and their Lu family agreed.

But the Lu family did not expect that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Bookstore was actually ruining their Lu family's reputation!

After the Lu family's manager reported the matter to Lu Fei, Lu Fei asked someone to 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 dealing with the things in our store yet."

"I'll give you 10,000 taels, and you can take the things away!"

Wu Ren took the silver and immediately said, "Of course, no problem."

Then he asked the head of the Lu family to give them a chance to say goodbye and close the store. The head of the Lu family emphasized that they must not tarnish the reputation of the Lu family again, and Wu Ren naturally agreed.

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

For a while, the four stores were crowded.

After sending out all the things, Wu Ren stood on the high platform and smiled and said, "Everyone, we are really going to close this time."

The scholars were reluctant to leave.

"I want to go to Liaodong County."

"But the literary style in our south is more prosperous. I heard that there are not many people who can read in Liaodong County. The prefectural school is all for decoration and abandoned."

Wu Ren waited for them to discuss for a while before saying with a smile, "Everyone, the academy planned by Houcheng in Liaodong County is about to be completed. Our parent official, Lord Lu Desheng, the governor of Liaodong County, will become the honorary principal of our academy. I welcome you to visit and visit."

"Hmm?"

"Lu Desheng? Is he the Lord Lu who was engraved on the Three Wonders Monument with the late emperor and the three principals?"

"That's him."

Before closing the door, Wu Ren bowed for the last time, "Everyone, the mountains remain green and the waters flow forever. I am waiting for you in Liaodong County."

"Lu Desheng, it is indeed worth a trip."

"Brother Yang, go together?"

"Go together!"
