Starting from the world of martial arts

"Master!" "Master!,,,,"

From the reception hall of Su Zhuang, loud and respectful greetings were constantly heard. The only person they greeted was Su Fan, who was eleven years old. It could be seen that Su Fan's majesty in Su's residence now.

It is true that after several times of his methods of emphasizing both kindness and power, these servants of the Su Mansion have been tidied up. The big sticks and radishes have also made the servants grateful to him.

"sit!"

Su Fan sat on the upper seat in the living room, the teacher's chair was covered with a layer of high-quality fur blankets, and the rest of them sat down one by one.

The one closest to Su Fan was Yang Xing, the elder of Su's three dynasties, Su's father's chief housekeeper, followed by a man with a long scar on his face, who was the leader of the Su family's guards.

The Su family is a country gentry in Huayin County. Although the family is not prosperous, there are sixty or seventy servants in total. After Su Fan became the head of the family, he paid again and bought thirty guards. Now the entire Su Mansion, There are more than two hundred people.

Among them, there are no fewer than forty guards guarding the house.

Even this number is still increasing. Knowing that this is the world of martial arts, Su Fan naturally pays more attention to the safety of the Su family. After all, in ordinary planes, there are often bandits and bandits who like to rob the landlords and squires in the countryside.

Not to mention the world of martial arts, there are more bandits and bandits, and there are also a group of "heroes" who like to "rob the rich and help the poor".

Su Fan didn't want to be the target of these people's robbery.

Of course, within the scope of the Huashan faction, a "Jianghu hero" will not come to "commit crimes", and there are even very few bandits.

But it doesn't mean there are no, especially in times of famine, there are still many people who take risks, and it is impossible for the Huashan faction to take care of everything.

Su Fan would never leave his safety in the hands of others.

"Old Yang"

"Yes, master, tell me." Hearing Su Fan's roll call, Yang Xing stood up.

"Now that the experimental field has been completed, the 3,000-acre land in our family can be fully implemented. I think those tenants have also gone to see it, and they won't have any doubts."

"Yes, master, these two days, those farmers in the fields have come to look for the old man every day, hoping to get advice."

Speaking of this, Yang Xing showed a smile on his face. Su's father had a hundred households of tenants, and Su's father had 3,000 mu of land, almost more than 2,000 mu, all of which were planted by these tenants.

"very good!"

Su Fan nodded, the Su family's 3,000 mu of land, if his cheap father was still there, he wouldn't need to pay too much tax, after all, it was a juren.

But his father is dead, he is not a juren, so naturally he has to pay taxes. Originally, 3,000 mu of land, excluding the tenants, and some exorbitant taxes from the court, can leave about a thousand stones every year.

But now, it is estimated that it is at most six or seven hundred stones.

In exchange for taels of silver, it is only five or six hundred taels, which is not much. He has a lot of food and clothing for a year for the three hundred people in the Su residence.

Therefore, increasing the yield of this fertile land is a major event. According to his method, at least every year, he can collect hundreds of stones, that is, hundreds of taels of silver.

It didn't matter before, a few hundred taels was enough for him to eat and drink.

But right now, if he wanted to practice martial arts, that would not work.

Although he hasn't practiced martial arts yet, he knows that money is indispensable if one is poor in literature and rich in martial arts, especially if one wants to cultivate to a certain level.

So he needs to develop a new way of earning money. Relying solely on the production in the field may not be enough for future cultivation.

Although he has a cheat, but this cheat is only internally blessed, not externally, so he wants to practice faster and higher, so drug use is the mainstream.

These days he has been thinking about how to make money.

In fact, there are quite a few businesses that bring in quick money. For example, the salt and iron business is definitely the only way. Those salt dealers in the Jianghuai River, which one is not sitting on a million taels of silver, and the eight major families in Shanxi rely on smuggling the grassland. This tens of millions of property.

However, these, with his current small body, definitely cannot be involved.

So after thinking for a long time, what Su Zhe thought of was to start from a young age, such as snacks and restaurants.

With the knowledge of later generations, not to mention other things, he is confident that even the emperor's old son will not be as sophisticated as him in terms of eating.

Naturally, he thought of lo-mei. In today's dynasties, commerce and trade are developed, and spices are still very expensive, but it is no longer the Sui and Tang Dynasties, when only the nobles could afford it.

So he is going to expand the business.

In fact, he added this stewed meat in the restaurant in Sujiahua Yincheng, and the business was really good.

So Su Fan was going to take it out and start a business alone.

So he looked at a middle-aged man on his right and said, "Guard Hu, how is the business of the Su Family Restaurant?"

"Master, since you provided the lo mei, our business has increased greatly, and we have become the second restaurant in Huayin City, second only to Xinyuelou"

"So what's your monthly income now?" Su Fan asked.

"Except for the cost, there is a balance of 60 taels per month," Manager Hu said with a bit of complacency. The monthly net profit is 60 taels, which is seven or eight hundred taels a year. This income is not low.

In the past, one hundred taels a year was already pretty good.

It can be seen that this lo-mei is a bestseller.

Su Zhe nodded after hearing the words, still understanding in his heart that the dishes of later generations can be taken over.

"That's it, Manager Hu, I'm going to take out this lo mei separately and open a special lo mei shop"

"What? My lord, this,,, what should I do? Then what about our restaurant?" Manager Hu became anxious. Now the restaurant of the Su family relies on this lo-mei. It has become what it was before.

"Boss Hu, don't worry. Although I will take it out alone, your restaurant will not move. In addition, I will arrange the back kitchen to add a few dishes to your restaurant."

"Is what the master said true?"

When Steward Hu heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, regardless of what happened before, as one of the stewards of the Su family, he had eaten the family banquet in the Su mansion, so he naturally knew that the dishes were delicious.

"Yeah!" Su Fan nodded and continued: "The lo mei opened a small lo mei restaurant alone, I mean, not only in Huayin City, but also in several nearby counties."

"What do you think?"

"no problem"

The stewards all nodded, everyone understood that this was a profitable business, no one stopped it, and they all knew that the master made money, and they were never stingy with them.

"Then if this is the case, I will leave this matter to you, Yang Zhen."

Su Zhe looked at a young man sitting at the bottom.

"Master, this is not good, Yang Zhen is still too young."

After Su Fan finished speaking, Yang Xing stood up, wanting to object.

"Hehe! Mr. Yang, brother Zhen is in his twenties now, he is not young anymore, and he handles the family affairs very well. I am very relieved to leave it to him."

Yang Zhen is Yang Xing's youngest son, who grew up in Su's family since he was a child, so he is naturally relieved.

"this,,,"

Seeing this, Yang Xing felt embarrassed on the surface, but he was still very happy in his heart. After all, he also knew that this was a good business, and if it was done well, it goes without saying.

"Okay, that's it"

Su Fan made up his mind with his words, and then he looked at the scar-faced man, who was the head of the Su family's guards.

This man is called Liu Tong in his forties. He was originally the general flag in the hands of a general in Datong Town. Because he offended the superior and was hostile, he was forced to fight to the death with the grassland Tartars. He escaped by chance and was rescued by Su Fan's father. down.

He has been acting as the guard of the Su family.

Although this person is the General Banner, he is not bad in ability, but his personality is a bit straightforward. After Su Fan knew about it, he was a little happy.

This guy's strength is not bad, if he is given good equipment, he can even become an enemy of a hundred people on the battlefield, and his kung fu on the battlefield is not even below the second-rate warriors in the world.

"Guardian Liu"

"Subordinates"

When Liu Tong heard Su Fan calling him, he immediately straightened his body and looked at Su Fan with piercing eyes. He could see the changes in the Su family these days, and he knew how much Su Fan attached to him.

Especially when Su Fan rectified the guards of the Su family recently, he was even more happy. He knew very well what the guards of the Su family looked like in the past. Most of them were just eating and drinking.

Some of them are relatives of the Su family, even worse than the gangsters in the city.

Now after some rectification, there are only forty people left, but they are all hard-working farmers' children. If they are trained by him, they will not only become the elite of the army, but they can also protect the safety of the Su family.

"Liu Huwei, all the guards of the Su family will be handed over to you. You are from the army, so you should know how to train soldiers. I need you to train these guards to be able to fight."

"I wonder if Liu Huwei is sure?" Su Fan looked at Liu Tong and said.

"this,,,,"

Liu Tong hesitated for a moment.

"I know Liu Huwei's concerns, so let's do it, as long as Liu Huwei needs anything, I will provide it all. In terms of logistics, you don't have to worry, I will give you a lot of money. I only need one to help my Su family Fighting Guards"

Su Fan looked at Liu Tong, but his immature face showed a majesty that didn't match his grade.

"Patriarch, don't worry, your subordinates will be able to master it"

Hearing that he could provide all the logistics, Liu Tong immediately became confident. He knew that the Su family in the future would not lack food, and the 3,000 mu of land, together with some shops of the Su family in the county, was just to build a An elite guard of fifty people is not difficult.

He has this confidence.

"Okay! Guard Liu, the Su family's guard team will be handed over to you. For the time being, there are mainly 60 people, but in the future, there will be more people."

Su Zhe said something lightly, but it made everyone in the hall look different.
