The corners of Zhang Yugong's mouth twitched. He did know quite a few rangers. Back then, the Qing Gang was well-known in the Central Plains and Chang'an. Although the Qing Gang has disbanded now, the brothers from back then were all over the Central Plains. He said with a blank expression, "Yes, just It will take time. If we start with the idlers around Chang'an, we can gather three or 400 people for the first round tomorrow.

"That's good." Gu Xiao said with a smile: "In this way, we will start from the academy, and we will ask you to help when the time comes."

"Everyone is a brother who pays homage to others." Yang Zhao said, "It's what brothers should do, not to mention helping."

"It's just that your Gu family has money, but we don't." Li Linfu said with a troubled expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter, let's pay [-]% to [-]% of the future benefits." Gu Xiao said: "I will take [-]%, and the remaining [-]% will be divided by you. The better we do, the more money we have in our hands. Let's make money together. .”

"No, no, we don't need so much." Yang Zhao shook his head quickly.

"What are you afraid of? I'll take [-]% by myself. Don't think it's too little. Let's settle down first." Gu Xiao said with a smile.

After hearing so much from Gu Xiao, Zhang Jiuling understood a little bit.

"It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. You go back and prepare well. We will start business tomorrow, starting with sending letters to the students of the academy." Gu Xiao looked around, carefully put away the map, and followed Zhang Yugong I went back.

The three of them still stood in place.

Li Linfu looked at Zhang Jiuling and said, "Usually you are the best at making up your mind, what do you think of Gu Xiao's way of making money?"

Zhang Jiuling thought about it and said, "Gu Xiao's method seems to be able to make money, but Gu Xiao has forgotten one thing from the beginning to the end. His plate is very big. If it is really big, it will cover the entire Central Plains. To make such a big plate, we alone may not be able to bear it, and the people who do business are very smart, Gu Xiao can do it and they can do it, maybe they will be banned by other big businessmen in the future."

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiuling smiled, "It doesn't matter if Gu Xiao can't make it, who made Gu Xiao born in the Gu family, and he is the eldest son of the Gu family."

Chapter 38

"Yeah, who made him the heir of the Gu family." Li Linfu also sighed. ,

Yang Zhao said to the two, "There is one thing that I have been thinking about all the time. Back then, people regarded entering the court as an official to honor their ancestors. Back then, people opened up their future by marrying women with five surnames. Back then, people made contributions by fighting in the battlefield. Are there only these three kinds of so-called success? I have been in the academy for so many years, and I have seen too many students leave the academy. Some people do not become officials, and some choose to be officials, but the life of those who are officials is not certain. It's a better start than those who don't serve as officials

Knowing that Yang Zhao was confused, Zhang Jiuling said: "This kind of thing is that the beholder sees benevolence, and the wise see wisdom. In fact, everyone has their own choices, but everyone's ideas are different."

"Maybe." Yang Zhao nodded.

In the middle of the night, Yang Zhao still didn't sleep, and came to Fang Yizhi's door, waiting for Fang Chengxian to come out after finishing his homework at his father's place, until he was about to enter the house, and then Fang Chengxian came out.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Fang Cheng first closed the door for his father and looked at Yang Zhao in doubt.

Yang Zhao smiled wryly and said, "There is something I would like to ask Brother Fang for help."

"We brothers can't really help." Fang Cheng said sleepily, "Let's talk while walking."

"Okay." Yang Zhao followed Fang Chengxian and said, "I have a younger sister at home who wants to join the academy."

"Your sister is going to enter the academy?" Fang Chengxian stopped in surprise.

"I know that it is really difficult for a woman to enter the academy. If it is not possible, I will not force it."

Fang Cheng looked at Yang Zhao with a smile and said, "I never knew you had a younger sister, so why didn't I hear you mention it."

"It's my cousin. It's just that my uncle is going to guard the frontier now. I thought that my cousin would have no one to take care of me after I went to the border, so I entrusted it to my uncle." Yang Zhao said with a sigh.

Fang Cheng nodded first, "It's the entrustment of the elders, so it's not easy to refuse! I understand your thoughts, so don't feel embarrassed about me. Now the academy has discussed allowing girls to enroll several times. It's not impossible, and old master Kong Yingda and the others Although he didn't agree, but he didn't expressly refuse, it's just for Gu Qing's face. Gu Qing said that women can also enter the school, but you also know how much resistance there will be in this kind of thing. It’s time to let a woman become an official, I’m afraid there will be a lot of quarrels, it’s all the rules left by the ancestors, and it won’t happen overnight.”

"But don't worry, the academy is trying to do the same now, isn't that girl from the Yan family also in the academy?"

Speaking of the daughter of the Yan family, Yang Zhao recalled: "I just remembered, the one who was going to marry His Royal Highness Prince Jin, but ended up getting nothing."

"That's right, that woman is also in the academy now, and Uncle Yang's daughter is also there. Although the academy has not done much in recent years, it has secretly accepted women to enroll, but it is not too high-profile." Fang Cheng He said first: "Don't worry, I'll help you with this matter. When the time comes, you can just bring the person over. I will tell my father about it. If it really doesn't work, you can ask Gu Xiao for help."

"Thank you very much." Yang Zhao cupped his hands and said.

"You're welcome." Fang Chengxian smiled.

"I'll pick up my sister tomorrow." Yang Zhao cupped his hands again and again: "Thank you so much."

"Everyone is brothers, don't always say thank you." Fang Chengxian went on to say: "Speaking of which, I missed my appointment tonight. What exactly did Gu Xiao tell you?"

"It's about business." Yang Zhao walked along and told Fang Chengxian about Gu Xiao's plan.

Late at night, Gu Xiao came to the study and faced Gu Qing who was also sitting in the study.

"What are you doing up so late?" Gu Qing asked first.

The flame of the oil lamp was shaking, and the reflected figure was also shaking. The study was very quiet, and Gu Xiao also said, "I want money."

Gu Qing handed Gu Xiao a bunch of copper coins and said, "Save some money."

"I want a lot of money." Gu Xiao continued, "Give me a few thousand coins first."

Hearing this, Gu Qing stared at his son, "What do you want to do? Although a few thousand pennies is not a big amount of money for our Gu family, you are too young to take so much money."

"I want to do business, so I borrowed it, and I will pay you back in the future!" Gu Xiao said stubbornly.

"Then let's talk about whether your business can make money." Gu Qing stared at his son.

"I knew you would say that." Gu Xiao said stubbornly, "I'm going to ask my mother for money, so I won't tell you."

Gu Qing watched Gu Xiao leave, shook his head with a wry smile, then came back to write what he wanted to write, and wrote down everything he knew. When he came to this era, with more and more memories of himself in this era, he was deeply afraid that he would Those crooked paths of history and those lessons of history will be forgotten.

Fan Jian was by his side, quietly helping Tim Mo.

Gu Xiao found her mother, Wu Mei listened to her son tell about his plan and had to say that this could indeed be a business, she looked at her son and said, "How did you come up with this idea."

"I saw it in the book." Gu Xiao said proudly.

"Then why didn't you tell your father." Wu Mei was a little bit scolding.

"I didn't tell him." Gu Xiao's eyes were a little stubborn.

Wu Mei felt that the father and son were at odds and said: "Who made me your mother? Your idea really needs money, and it needs a lot of manpower, but mother only gives you money. According to your plan, the bank can take the lead. I'll give you [-] guan."

"So many!" Gu Xiao exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be too happy." Wu Mei went on to say, "This fifty thousand guan is lent to you by the bank, and it is not given to you all at once. I will give you two thousand guan every month, and you have to pay it back every month." The bank has three hundred guan, until all the [-] guan are taken, you have to pay off your future debts, and then according to the development of your business, the bank can continue to lend you money to make you stronger The business, the premise is to let the academy see how much profit this first [-] guan can make."

"My son will understand." Gu Xiao said happily: "Mom, you go to bed first, and my son will settle the score now."

"En." Wu Mei nodded slightly.

Gao Yang, who was carrying a midnight snack, saw Gu Xiao happily running around the house, and walked into the bedroom with a snack in his hand, and said to Wu Mei: "What's wrong with Xiao'er, what made him so happy."

After taking the cake made by Gao Yang, Wu Mei ate it and said, "This kid wants to start a business, and he doesn't study well in the academy. He is full of ideas about making money."

Gao Yang said with a smile: "Be as virtuous as his father."

"Who made him a child of the Gu family." Wu Mei said: "When the time comes, no one in the family will use their connections to help him. Let him stumble a few times and let him practice his skills."
