My life skills in Daming Liver

Finally finished dealing with the matter of Changning Guard, Su Ze ordered Xiong Wu and Yao Chun to cast movable type in the guard, Chen Haizhang continued to repair Jianxi, and Lin Mojun was left to deal with the Black Mountain Bandits.

Luo Erlang is a traitor wanted by the imperial court. There is a reward for his head, but his head must be sent to the Fuzhou government to receive the reward.

The black bandit is also a well-known bandit in the county, Xue Gao is also wanted by the county government, his head was cut off by Lin Mojun, sprinkled with lime and put in a sack, there are more than a dozen other black bandits who have life lawsuits in their hands , were all tied up by Lin Mojun, and asked a small banner from the guard to lead the soldiers of the two banners to escort them to the county seat to receive the reward.

Su Ze also got into the carriage, and went to the county with this little Qi Tong.

This time, they were escorted by soldiers from the guards, and the merchants along the way avoided them when they saw them. The reputation of the Ming army these days is about the same as that of bandits.

The name of this Xiaoqi is Lin Xianda, he is Lin Xianyang's uncle and brother, and he has been very courteous to Su Ze along the way.

Almost at the gate of the county seat, Lin Xianda said, "Mr. Su, we will go to the county government when we enter the city."

Su Ze nodded and said, "Go back directly after you finish your work, don't wait for me."

Lin Xianda said: "Baihu asked us to escort Mr. back. We even escaped some black bandits last time. In case they make trouble for Mister."

Su Ze could only nod his head and said, "Then where do you live after finishing your work?"

Lin Xianda smiled and said, "We also have some relatives in the county where the guard is located, so it's fine to stay overnight, sir, just busy with your business, and just greet us when we leave the city."

Su Ze thought of the time when he and Lin Xianyang went to the city, they also stayed at the house of relatives in Changningwei.

So Su Ze nodded and said, "When you settle down, come to the county school to find me, and bring everyone to have a good meal in the county town tonight!"

All the soldiers cheered one after another. Although the food in Changningwei is the best, they are only full of staple food. There are no restaurants in the county that are delicious.

After entering the city, Su Ze and Zhengzu parted ways. He just walked to the gate of the county school when he saw a long-awaited figure.

Yu Zongyuan, the number one supporter of Su Ze's rebellious cause and the source of great grievances, was sitting under a parasol waiting for Su Ze.

Seeing that the corners of Yu Zongyuan's mouth were bubbling, it seemed that the life of the second son was not easy.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Su Ze, Yu Zongyuan walked over quickly, took Su Ze's hand and said, "Brother Su is a fortune teller! I am really in a disaster!"

Su Ze once again felt sad for Yanping Wei Yu's family, and the public clamored so much that even if the Yu family did not suffer a disaster, it would also suffer a disaster.

Mr. Yu also noticed his slip of the tongue, pulled Su Ze to sit under the parasol, and said eagerly, "Brother Su, save me!"

Su Ze is also speechless, and he is not Guanshi Bodhisattva, Yu Zongyuan cosplays Sun Monkey every time he comes up, it is really overwhelming.

"I've also heard about Yanpingwei's matter. Has the matter at Brother Yu's family not been resolved yet?"

Yu Zongyuan sighed and said, "Brother Su, you are talking about the matter of the imperial censor Qing army? That matter has been resolved."

Su Ze wanted to ask how much money the Yu family had spent to eliminate the disaster, but he felt that it was not appropriate.

Forget it, because of Second Young Master Yu's pissing nature, he will tell it by himself sooner or later, Su Ze is curious about what is his disaster?

Yu Zongyuan said anxiously: "The matter of Yushi Qingjun has been resolved, but my disaster is coming!"

"Brother Su has a clever plan, you know about the scandal of my ancestors, right?"

Su Ze nodded. The scandal of the ancestors of the Yu family is now well known in Nanping County, and even some comic opera singers arranged this episode into jokes, which greatly enriched the spiritual culture and entertainment of the people in Nanping County.

Yu Zongyuan said: "My father is afraid that this kind of thing will happen again in this generation, so he is trying to separate my family!"

Su Ze now understands what Yu Zongyuan's misfortune is. He has been coveting his brother's world position, and it is estimated that the commander is also aware of it now.

If something like the ancestor's happened again, the Yu family might be dismissed by the court.

So the commanding officer simply let sons like Yu Zongyuan share the property and move out in advance, so as to save them from coveting his brother's property.

This is naturally a great thing for Yu Zongyuan's elder brother, but it is terrible for Yu Zongyuan.

Yu Zongyuan was busy with family affairs, but his father kicked him out of the mansion when the matter was settled.

The concubines and maids raised in Yu Zongyuan's house used to be paid out of public accounts, and they had to spend the money themselves after they moved out.

In addition, all kinds of expenses that can be shared in the company will have to be borne by Yu Zongyuan himself in the future, and this money is not a small expense.

Yu Zongyuan said cursingly: "My father is just killing a donkey! Give me four shops and a farm, plus three thousand taels of silver, and he will beat me! If I had known, I would not have been busy in Fuzhou at that time, and let Yu's family be punished." Forget about copying the house!"

Su Ze can only feel that Yu's family is really rich and powerful. These days, ordinary adult men can't earn fifteen taels of silver all year round. Yu commanded the second son who had no inheritance rights to separate the family, and it cost three thousand taels of silver. , which is the wages of ordinary people for two hundred years.

There are four shops and one farm, and they can earn hundreds of taels of silver a year after they are well managed. This is after the Yu family was severely blackmailed by Yan Maoqing.

But thinking of Mr. Tuohu's theater troupe who would not part with a thousand taels of silver, it's not that the Ming Dynasty was not rich, but that these materialistic classes were too rich!

Su Ze looked at Yu Zongyuan and asked, "What does Brother Yu want?"

Yu Zongyuan said in a low voice: "Do I still have a chance to inherit the family property?"

Su Ze continued to play tricks and said, "Brother Yu, tell me another number."

Yu Zongyuan said a number, and Su Ze pretended to pinch his fingers to do calculations. After a stick of incense, he said:

"It's difficult! Running around for the Yu family has consumed too much luck of brother Yu, and now your brother is in full swing, so you have to take it slowly."

Yu Zongyuan slapped his thigh and lifted it up and said: "No wonder that old man asked me to go to Fuzhou City at this time! It turns out that he wants to consume my luck! Damn it!"

Su Ze continued: "Brother Yu, I suggest you stay dormant for a while. Anyway, Commander Yu will keep your body healthy. This is not something to be rushed for a while."

Hearing what Su Ze said, Yu Zongyuan could only sigh and said: "Brother Su, my family has a lot of expenses, and my father gave this family property. I'm afraid it won't last!"

This family property?

Are you speaking human words?

Chang Ning Wei may not have as much property as you and the Second Young Master in total!

But this young master sent him to the door, so there is no reason for Su Ze not to cheat him.

It was still early, Su Ze pulled Yu Zongyuan and said, "Look for a tea shop, and I'll help Brother Yu figure out these four shops."

Yu Zongyuan asked excitedly: "Brother Su still knows about business?"

"Know a thing or two."

Yu Zongyuan immediately pulled Su Ze to a nearby tea shop, and said as he walked, "I'm going to ask someone to help me to check it out!"

When he arrived at the tea shop, Yu Zongyuan opened up the chatter box, pouring out bitter water and saying:

"These four are all long-established shops of our Yu family, and the shopkeepers are all old people in the mansion. These treacherous slaves don't know how much money they got from it. The four shops together only earn seventy or eighty taels of silver a year! "

Su Ze was drinking from a teacup, using [Valuation] and [Accounting] skills in his mind to calculate.

Nanping County is Yiguo County, which is the county where the prefecture is located, and is the center of Yanping prefecture economically.

And the Yu family's property is Yanpingwei's property, and the tax collectors in prefectures and counties dare not exploit them, so there are almost no miscellaneous taxes.

Under such circumstances, the four shops only earn seventy or eighty taels a year, which is indeed a huge loss and a serious deficit.

It is commonplace for a cunning slave to eat the master's house at any time.

At that time, Yu Zongyuan's father had just inherited the position of commander, and he also wanted to punish these old servants at home, and sent someone to check the books of these shops.

But these servants have been in control of the store for a long time, and they have done so well in the fake accounts that there is no problem in the accounts.

In the end, Commander Yu could only find some excuses, transferred a few greedy and excessive managers to the farm outside the city, and replaced them with a few of his cronies to finish the job.

After these cronies took over the store, what should be greedy is still greedy.

The reason why some profits are still kept every year is also because Commander Yu is the Commander of the third rank, and these domestic slaves also rely on the family.

But it was different in Yu Zongyuan's hands. Everyone in Yu's family knew that Yu Zongyuan was an idiot and couldn't manage the shop well. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to pay the eighty taels of silver in the future.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, the career of a professional manager is farting, and it is the norm to eat shopkeepers who have nothing to eat.

Yu Zongyuan said: "My four shops are a makeup shop, a pickle shop, a dyeing workshop and a bookstore."

Su Ze pricked up his ears, this young master is full of treasures, and these four shops are all Su Ze's eyes for a long time.

Changningwei's cotton cloth has been woven, but Su Ze is still thinking about printing and dyeing.

Ordinary cotton cloth cannot be sold at a price, because rich people still like to wear silk.

Moreover, the output of Changningwei can't learn from the British to play colonial dumping.

To make money, or to increase added value.

Dyeing cloth is a good way. If you can dye brightly colored cloth, you will definitely be able to sell it at a high price.

But high-priced products can't be bought in ghost markets or stalls. Su Ze wanted to take advantage of the disaster of Yu's family to buy a shop from Yu Zongyuan, but he didn't expect Yu's family to pass the customs so soon.

Look at Yu Zongyuan, brother Yu, you can't grasp it in these shops, let me help you grasp it.

It happened that Su Ze was engaged in movable type printing, and the bookstore could also sell books printed by Changningwei.

The pickle shop and the powder shop Su Ze don't have a clue, but these are also industries that can make money.

With so many profitable industries, as Yu Zongyuan's good brother, Su Ze is obliged to help.

He said: "Let's do this, after I finish my class tomorrow, I will accompany brother Yu to the four shops to check the accounts, and beat these cunning old servants."

"Brother Su knows how to read the accounts? That's great! I've heard my mother say that these shopkeepers are all treacherous people. My mother originally wanted to ask my uncle for help, so I sent my brother who is proficient in accountants to read the accounts. Now Brother Su can help! That would be great!"

Fortunately, I took the initiative to mention it. Yu Zongyuan's mother's family is also quite powerful in Yanping Mansion, so I should fool Yu Zongyuan as soon as possible!

Su Ze said again: "Our Changningwei also has a few good products, and they can be sold in Brother Yu's store then."

Yu Zongyuan was even more grateful and said: "Brother Su is helping me, so why not worry about the family business! After the matter is completed, I will invite Brother Su to invite Yuelou for a drink!"

After sending Yu Zongyuan away, Su Ze walked into the county school. This time, the county school was much more lively. Scholars gathered everywhere, discussing something loudly.

Needless to say, it must be Mr. Tuohu's essay call.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Ze arrived at the dormitory, Lin Qingcai took out a stack of paper, handed it to Su Ze and said:

"Brother Su, help me read this play."

Su Ze took it over and took a look. The handwriting was Lin Qingcai's at first glance. It seems that he couldn't help but write and submit the play.

Which scholar can refuse the temptation of fame?

Su Ze took it over and watched it, and had to say that Lin Qingcai really didn't have much talent in opera creation.

The old-fashioned story of a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman is full of the obsession of a poor scholar, and the lyrics are not outstanding. Su Ze bit the bullet and said after reading: "The format is neat, and the story seems a little ordinary."

Lin Qingcai sat down dejectedly: "Brother Su doesn't think so either?"

Lin Qingcai sighed and said, "If only I had Brother Su's talent."

Just as Su Ze was about to comfort Lin Qingcai, Chen Chaoyuan also came in with a stack of papers. He directly handed the two scripts to Su Ze and Lin Qingcai, and looked at them expectantly.

After reading the drama written by Chen Chaoyuan, Su Ze almost died of poisoning.

This is a play that imitates the legendary stories of the Tang Dynasty. The story is old-fashioned, and there are many poisonous points. There is even a scene where the male protagonist goes out to make a living and the female protagonist remarries. Readers will abandon the book if it is placed in the first chapter of a modern online novel .

Su Ze sighed and said, "The two of you can try to contribute, what if Mr. Tuohu agrees?"

The two also had hope, they looked at Su Ze and said, "Where's yours?"

"My what?"

"Brother Su, won't you participate?"

Su Ze said: "Don't participate, I don't know opera, isn't it ridiculous and generous to write it?"

Lin Qingcai said: "I've never written a play before. Brother Su's talent is here. Maybe an article will become famous in the southeast?"

Chen Chaoyuan also said: "Mr. Tuohu's call for papers will not end until the end of June. Brother Su is starting to write now, and it will be fine when he comes to the county at the end of the month."

Write drama? Can liver experience?

Su Ze doesn't have enough experience right now, so he doesn't have time to write plays.

Su Ze once again tactfully expressed his refusal, and seeing that Su Ze insisted, the two stopped persuading him.

Xiong Yue was the last one to arrive at the dormitory. In the past, he liked to participate in Shilin activities the most, but he didn't write operas. It seems that the tea tribute incident made him uneasy.

After the four of them arrived, Chen Chaoyuan said: "I heard that Huang Shixing from Yanping Academy is planning to run a tabloid to publish everyone's dramas for the scholars in the whole government to taste. Now the engraving master has been invited, and this is our Yanping Mansion again. A great prosperity in the literary world!"

Huang Shixing? The No. 2 species that exploded with gold coins?
