Chapter 2036

Xiao Qian learned these words to his husband and son as they were. Zhou Dalang was still looking at the cloth on the table. Zhou Lizhong said, "I know. I told my second sister and second brother privately that although I make a lot of money in business, it's difficult."

"Anyone who runs a business outside can make some achievements, either he is extremely smart and has a rich family background, or he has a backer behind him, otherwise he can't go far." He said, "seriously, there is no one in our family who is particularly smart except my sister-in-law. That is the third brother. He reads better than our brothers and sisters, but he often needs to turn on the light to read at night to compare with others. Therefore, unless my sister-in-law is the master of the family, our family can't do much by relying on her ability."

"Then you can only find a backer," said Zhou Lizhong in a slightly lowered voice. "The fourth uncle has always wanted to cooperate with Princess Changyu in business. He doesn't have much ambition and wants to do business. In fact, he wants to be less bullied when he goes out."

Hearing this, Zhou Dalang immediately asked, "you have been bullied outside."

Zhou Lizhong said: "it's impossible not to suffer a little grievance. When I first went out with my fourth uncle, I was invited to their stockade by the horse Gang on the grassland. At that time, although my fourth uncle and I were invited, we didn't even have a seat. In front of us, it was a caravan manager who walked with us..."

Even if they were robbed, Zhou sirang and his men had no face and went in front of the robbers. It can be seen how small they were.

Later, they were able to come out because the baldness department who took them into the grassland found that they couldn't talk to the horse gang. They simply took two bags of tea privately given by Lang on Thursday and invited people from nearby tribes to come forward. They met Xiang Mingxue, who had some ways on the grassland. This was safe. They just broke some money.

At first, he and his fourth uncle were very wronged. They wanted to talk to their sister-in-law when they went back, but when they entered the grassland and went with Xiang Mingxue, they knew that their grievance was nothing at all.

Compared with Xiang Mingxue, they walked smoothly. In the past, Xiang Mingxue did grassland business by pinning his head on his belt.

But at that time, he was bent on revenge. The Buddha stopped killing the Buddha and the God stopped killing the God. In addition, he was smart and killed a way of blood.

And back and forth twice, Zhou Lizhong and fourth uncle vaguely know something. They admire Xiang Ming's learning more and want to find a backer.

He said: "now when our family goes in and out of the grassland and meets some stockaded villages and caravans, we just need to give some things to go there. It depends on our friendship with the tribes on the grassland and our good relationship with brother Xiang."

"But in fact, these two relationships are not reliable. There are milk and women in the bald tribe. We are good now because we want to buy Herbs and cattle with them, and we will sell them silk and tea. If there are businessmen who offer higher prices or sell tea and silk cheaper, they will kick us away."

"Xiang eldest brother is also unstable. He has no capital now. Coupled with some special friendship between our two families, he is willing to cooperate with us, but in fact, our family takes advantage of this cooperation."

Xiang Mingxue has no capital, but it's not difficult for him to want capital. Even if the origin of capital may not be innocent, he can have it.

But these contacts and routes are not available with money.

Last year, it was much smoother to enter the grassland, because Xiang Mingxue followed, and the profits increased by a few points.

Zhou Lizhong said, "it's OK to take advantage of this thing twice at a time. If there are many times, there will be resentments. Moreover, the fourth uncle also said that relying on feelings is not more stable than interests. It's better to talk about one and two than to maintain the old relationship."

"So we all want to do business with Princess Changyu. If she participates in our family's business, we will make money for her. After going out, we can do things in her name." Zhou Lizhong said: "many people who have no foundation want to do business mostly like this. There is no way. Let alone officials and dignitaries, we just pass through a place with goods. The squires in that place are stronger. If we really want to buy and sell with us, we have to swallow that tone with blood. Isn't that the Luo family in Guxian County, Liangzhou?"

Both Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian have heard that on Thursday that year, Lang and his four younger brothers and sisters were forced to buy them when they walked through Gu County, and their children and daughter-in-law almost had an accident.

"At that time, my sister-in-law was already very famous. Even so, the county magistrate of Guxian County didn't make decisions for the fourth uncle. He was willing or afraid he couldn't. in some places, the squire was bigger than the county magistrate and was not afraid of the county government." Zhou Lizhong said, "not only the local gentry, but also the people in the caravan who go shopping together will compare with each other. In private, there is a ranking. In the case of our family, although the business is small and shallow, it also belongs to the upper middle class."

In fact, it was not so good at the beginning, but in the past two years, my sister-in-law has become more and more famous and favored in the palace. After the crown prince has become a man in one fell swoop, it will be much more useful for them to go out and report my sister-in-law's name.

Especially this time, Zhou Lijun went out with them. They carefully inquired about the details of some caravans and learned some little secrets.

"These caravans, apart from the top ones, are the most inviolable of all aristocratic families and dignitaries, such as Cui family, Lu family and Wang family... My little uncle's Bai family is also among them, but they are only exposed to Bai's light. Unless necessary, no one will bother them; What's more, we can't offend Guan Long nobles such as Duke Zhao and Duke Su, who usually avoid doing business with them; Then there are some families where some people are officials in the court. Because our sister-in-law is here, we are barely included. "

"But it's still because my sister-in-law is getting more and more famous now, and the name of my little uncle has also been spread. Everyone knows that my sister-in-law will marry Bai's family in Longzhou in the future, and my little uncle reads well. Now he is still accompanied by the crown prince. He will have a bright future in the future." Zhou Lizhong said: "in our family, three and four children are studying. Although they haven't read any famous books, they want their nephew to take an examination of the examiner. Outsiders don't dare to bully our family. After all, no one knows what will happen to our family in the future."

"So our family has to have land, land, and some people study, so we can change from farmers to farming and reading. It sounds much better than business. Sometimes when we go out, we rely on a potential and a reputation."

Or do people like to talk big in business?

Because talking big can not only make people afraid, but also make things easy.

Zhou Lizhong said a lot. Zhou Dalang and little Qian finally understood. They immediately said, "buy it! Buy land! "
