The room was stunned by Qin Xiucai, but Xiang Bo was also shocked. He looked at Qin Xiucai in shock. This young scholar who was less than 30 years old was actually the first person in the big cabinet? He was his previous home...

"They don't call me the boss. Little brother, it's not difficult for you to guess that my status in the salt store is not low, but how do you know that I am the number three person? Nowadays, there are many people who can control swords and weapons. How did you guess this idea? Do you think Qin is a scholar, so you will give advice? Little brother, do you know how many nerds in this world are not familiar with common affairs?" Qin Xiucai said a series of questions, and his title changed, and he began to call him "Little brother".

Zhu Da replied calmly: "My master reported the news about the bandits' lair the day before, and sent a horse team to encircle the next day. If there were too many supervisors, how could such a decision be made? So I guess there were only three. The elite and sophisticated horse team of the Salt Stream are not inferior to the official cavalry. The government can be civil and noble, but the Salt Stream cannot do this, because the private salt dealer must be prepared to use force at all times. If you don't pay attention, it will not be used at critical moments. So the position of the Third Master is also among the top three in the Salt Stream. The third master of the Third Master is the ranking..."

Qin Xiucai's face was still horrified, but as Zhu Da told him, he nodded slowly. He was about to speak, but when he saw Zhu Da want to continue, Qin Xiucai didn't say anything.

"... As for why I think Mr. I came up with an idea, this is a guess. Mr. I don't seem to be a martial artist. I can't think of anything other than making suggestions and managing the details..."

Zhu Da was honest. When Qin Xiucai heard his words, he was stunned again, and then slowly shook his head. The astonishment on his face dissipated, and the smile became stronger and stronger, and the laughter became laughter, and the laughter became louder and louder.

Qin Qin, a girl on the side, is well-behaved and sensible. She didn't say anything while Qin Xiucai and Zhu Da were having a Q&A, and then she muttered: "Dad, I'm hungry."

It was already night outside and it was completely dark. The banquet should have been set up, and even if you can still smell the aroma of wine and meat from a distance.

Qin Xiucai stopped laughing, touched Qin Qin's head lovingly, and said, "Let's go eat now."

After saying that, he held his daughter's hand, raised his hand and made a call to Uncle Xiang, and said with a smile: "I'm neglecting everyone. Qin knows that Brother Xiang has a lot to ask, let's have a chat while eating."

At this time, Xiang Bo no longer had the calmness of starting. He was the most basic salt vendor at the Shengping Salt Stack, but the person in front of him was one of the top ones. The status of each other was so far apart, how could they treat each other calmly and equally? You know, if Xiang Bo went to the General Accountant of the Salt Stack, he would be respectful when he saw ordinary accountants, but in fact he had very few opportunities to see, and he didn't even have the identity of dealing with him.

However, the current scholar Qin Chuan is not at all concerned about Xiang Bo. He just stared at Zhu Da and couldn't help but exclaim before entering the table: "What a young talent. You can kill thieves at this age. What's even more rare is that you have a quick mind and can figure it out. When I was at your age, I didn't think so thoroughly about things."

Zhu Da just smiled and didn't say anything. Outsiders only thought he was shy, but they didn't know that Zhu Da was a little ashamed.

The ones I just said and analyzed are not easy for a twelve-year-old boy, but it is not difficult for a young man who has experienced a complete modern education, an era of information explosion, and has certain workplace experience. Moreover, enough information has been revealed just now in all aspects, and you can draw a rough conclusion as long as you pay attention.

Zhu Da was also thinking that if he had encountered the same thing in those twenty years of life, he might not have been able to draw these conclusions, but now he is calm and calm enough, observing carefully, thinking calmly, and drawing conclusions is not difficult. After experiencing so much, he is indeed much calmer than before.

The dishes are cold and hot. There is a jar of wine that has been sealed with mud. The sea of ​​wine is floating with hot air. The porcelain pot is placed inside and warms the mat.

"You eat whatever you want, don't worry too much." Qin Xiucai said as he poured a glass of wine for Xiang Bo, and then poured it on himself.

There are pork, beef and mutton on the table. The restaurant is very careful and uses all the methods of frying, stir-frying, and fried. The cold and hot dishes can be said to be full of color, fragrance and taste. Zhou Qingyun couldn't move his eyes when he was on the table. He swallowed his saliva there. Qin Qin looked similar. Although he knew that the Qin family was not a dilapidated house, such food was not eaten every day. Only Zhu Da had stronger self-control, but instinctively could not resist it. He could not stop looking at the dishes, so Qin Xiucai said this.

No matter how greedy Zhu Da and the others were, they would look at Xiang Bo first. The girl Qin Qin cheered, waving her little hands with different chopsticks to eat. Zhou Qingyun also followed. There was no need to be reserved on this occasion. Zhu Da then started eating.

"I believe that Brother Xiang has a lot to ask, but let Qin toast these three glasses of wine first. Qin has only one daughter. I don't know how to tell her grandfather and grandmother. I really don't know how sad Qin will be. Thank you for your kindness with brother Xiang and his disciple Gudao!" After the scholar Qin Chuan finished speaking, he touched the wine glass in his hand with Xiang Bo, drank it all, and then filled it again.

The wine is good wine, and the three cups are not large. It is normal for both of them to finish drinking. Then they started eating. Xiang Bo's expression was a bit dull and restrained. He knew that the other party was on the top of the peak and had questions that were not resolved, so it was normal that he could not let go.

"You have been selling salt for almost ten years. You started to get goods from the Zhang family. Four years ago, you started to get goods from the Gao family and then received the wooden sign. In the past, the price of the goods you bought always changed, the people who shipped the goods were always extorted, and the dealers kept the goods and lowered the price. Your business was not going well. After changing to the previous house and getting the wooden sign, the business was done steadily, right?" Qin Chuan still asked a question.

Zhu Da heard from his parents, villagers and Xiang Bo that the "Gao Family" was a veteran household. Some of his ancestors had served as the commander of the Zuowei of Datong. His family was a great cause and was very powerful in the Zuowei. The households under his control were in a prosperous town and were well-known and well-known, but the "Zhang Family" didn't know.

Speaking of this, perhaps because of three glasses of wine, or because of the exhaustion of traveling today, Xiang Bo was a little moved and replied in a muffled voice: "The Zhang family has the identity of a general bannerman, but they are doing the act of bandits. His family is a thief's nest, the owner of Pingquan Village. His salt trading is like lending money. He can't make any money all year round. He will still owe it to them if he is not careful. Who dares to argue with them? His family has several desperate people and robbed money and kills their lives. Thanks to the day before yesterday, they have a fierce internal strife... "

At this point, Xiang Bo stumbled and looked at Qin Xiucai who was listening carefully. The other party listened very seriously, and his expression did not fluctuate at all. Zhu Da, who had been listening, turned his head and looked at him. Qin Xiucai responded with a smile and nodded.

Xiang Bozi smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said, "This wine is so good. On weekdays, the old man is willing to drink it, but he can't afford it. When the Gao family took over the business, the old man thought not to do this business. The Gao family is even more powerful. If the old man gets in, wouldn't it become a dish on the chopping board? Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the Gao family is kind and has many rules, such as one business and one hundred households, a fair price, a convenient brand everywhere, and this big cabinet that is willing to stand out for the things, and I have a reliance on my heart when doing things."

At the beginning, maybe he replied in memory. Later, Xiang Bozhen was a little moved. The more he spoke, the more meticulous he became. Qin Xiucai smiled and nodded while listening. When Xiang Bo had a pause, he said leisurely: "Brother Xiang, I have made these rules."

After saying this, the room was quiet. Xiang Bo and Zhu Da were both staring at Qin Chuan. Only Qin Qin and Zhou Qingyun were happy to eat. Zhu Da had some estimates and speculations about Qin Chuan's words, but he was still shocked after the other party admitted it in person.

A scholar who only reads the Four Books and Five Classics actually established this system. This actually established a distribution system from top to bottom, divided sales areas, identified the distributor's qualifications, and stabilized prices. This set of things was an ordinary commercial system for more than 20 years, but it was also leading in this era.

In this era, Zhu Da could feel that everyone followed the rules, what was the convention and customs, so everyone did this, the villagers were like this, and the General Banner was like this. When people heard about it, most people outside Baibao Village were like this. In ordinary places in the underdeveloped era, this kind of conservative and closure was normal.

Qin Chuan is just a scholar in the town. It may be rare between Datong and Huairen County, but it is nothing in the Ming Dynasty. How could he break through the rules and innovate to make these things? Although Zhu Da didn't know what other shops and stores in the Ming Dynasty looked like, he subconsciously made such a judgment. Then he had a bolder and more incredible guess. Could it be that the other party was...

Thinking of this, Zhu Da subconsciously held his breath and stared at the other person's face carefully. His eyes were bright and his facial features were handsome, but he couldn't tell the others.

The first thing Xiang Bo recovered from his shock was to grab the wine pot, fill the cups of himself and Qin Xiucai, and then stood up and raised his glass and said, "Mr. Qin did a great thing, and the old man gained a lot of benefits. He didn't know his identity before. This glass of wine was for gratitude and for apologizing. He was really disrespectful."

Zhu Da felt that his master's words and deeds were awkward. He had to apologize humbly even though he was his benefactor. But he also knew that it was normal for Xiang Bo to do this. No matter how humble and kind the other party was, the gap in identity was real, not to mention that this scholar was holding Xiang Bo's livelihood or even life and death in a certain sense.

Qin Xiucai was only thirty years old, but he was familiar with the worldly style. He stood up with a smile and did not accept Xiang Bo's gift. He pushed him several times. The two of them had a drink.

After doing this cup, the atmosphere became more harmonious and relaxed. When Zhu Da saw the scholar Qin Chuan turn to him, he smiled and said, "Zhu Da, what do you want to ask?"
