Wei Bao likes Fang Jie'er's generous and straightforward personality very much, which is very similar to Fan Xiaolin. However, because Fang Jie'er comes from a business family, she has been watching her father and brother do business since she was a child, and her vision is naturally much higher than Fan Xiaolin, who was born in a farm family. Therefore, Wei Bao is not as confident as in front of Fang Jie'er, and he will not casually think of "sucking" others. At most, he takes advantage of his words and makes fun of him.

However, when we were with Fang Jie'er, because Fang Jie'er was willing to help him, and Wei Bao subconsciously believed that Fang Jie'er could help him, Wei Bao would always unconsciously tell Fang Jie'er his thoughts truthfully.

When Fang Jie'er heard Wei Bao say this, she nodded helplessly and said, "What you said makes sense. Since the land business inside and outside the pass is controlled by the Wu family, as long as you want to enter the pass to do business, you will compete with the Wu family and seek skin with the tiger. There is indeed no good way to ease it, and it is difficult to turn things around."

Seeing that Sister Fang was worried, Wei Bao felt warm in his heart and smiled heartlessly: "I will be careful, thank you for Sister Fang. But I believe that as long as you do business with a legitimate reputation and openness, you don't have to worry too much. The business in the world is not something that the Wu family can do. If you think too much, you will never have to develop."

Seeing Wei Bao as he looked 'ambitious', Fang Jie'er liked to see Wei Bao like this, and was afraid that he would suffer losses. She persuaded her with temptation: "Maybe it would be better if you spend more time on the scientific examination? It would be enough to spend enough money. When you become a high school Jinshi in the future, it will not be too late to accumulate strength slowly. The Wu family has accumulated over the generations to achieve today's momentum. Do you want to take the scientific examination this year?"

"I will take the scientific exam this year." Wei Bao smiled, as if he could see that Sister Fang wanted to ask her if she had any fame and reputation, and said truthfully: "I haven't officially entered school yet. My family is very poor and I didn't have the ability to support me in school before. During this period, my family has improved a little after I started a little business. I recognized a few words, and they all learned from my neighbor's brother."

Fang Jie'er said oh, then she realized that Wei Bao had not entered school yet, so she must not even be Tongsheng. I immediately thought that if her father knew that Wei Bao was not even be Tongsheng, she would definitely look down on Wei Bao even more. She hesitated and reminded: "If my father asks if the young master has fame, you don't have to pay attention to him. My father loves to inquire about these things from others, which often makes people uncomfortable."

Manager Sun asked me if I had any fame or honor? What does it have to do with him? Wei Bao was slightly surprised and immediately understood.

"If Manager Sun asked, I would tell the truth. If there is no fame now, it does not mean that there is no one in the future. I am confident that I will pass the road of scientific research in the future." Wei Bao smiled, and now he fully understood why Uncle Sun Jiu would not like him. He probably thought that Uncle Sun Jiu might have been wrong and thought that he wanted to pursue Fangjie'er. Then Uncle Sun Jiu would definitely want to find a son-in-law with fame, at least he must be above the scholar level, right? He was a person who was not even a child, so naturally he could not get into Uncle Sun Jiu's eyes. But he didn't know that Uncle Sun Jiu was looking for not only a scholarly son-in-law, but at least a son-in-law who had to be above the juren! Moreover, it was not Manager Sun who thought he was going to pursue Fangjie'er, but Manager Sun was afraid that Sister Fangjie would "pay" Wei Bao.

Seeing that Wei Bao was so confident, Fang Jie'er was overjoyed. She thought that Wei Bao understood what she meant and was determined to make a difference on the road to imperial examinations for herself. She nodded shyly and said softly: "If you finish eating, I will take you to see the pedal master. It's been a long time since I came out. My father will find a friend to look for me everywhere later."

Foots are specialized in carrying others. They are composed of a suit and some porters, and are managed by the suits. If it were not for the suppression of commercial development in this era, there would be many escort agencies and footstorms like Shanhaiguan, which connects north and south. Freight, passenger transport, and road transportation related industries should be the highlights in any era! Especially China, a superpower with a large land and a large population. Unfortunately, the Ming system and the route planned by Zhu Baba for his descendants were too shocked. Shanhaiguan had only one escort agency, but it was linked to the Wu family. There was only a few escort agencies, and they usually only worked within Yongping Prefecture and occasionally helped transport goods outside the pass.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded and said yes. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Uncle Sun Jiu, but he was too strict in his daughter's control. He felt sorry for his parents in the world.

Just as Wei Bao and Fang Jie'er went to find the master of the foot walk, Liu Chunshi and Fan Da had already arrived at the commander-in-law and found the clerk in charge of the road quotation.

It was too early at this time. The Literature Office, who was responsible for handling road quotations, did not receive Yang Hongyi's instructions. After Liu Chunshi said that he had already agreed with Lord Yang Hongyi, he hurried to Yihongyuan for instructions from Lord Yang.

Yang Hongyi woke up just after he was drunk. People who drank too much the day before often get up early the next day, mainly because of thirst, so they have to find water to drink.

So the Book Office was very smooth and met Lord Yang as soon as possible.

Only then did Yang Hongyi remember what happened yesterday and asked Suihu, he realized that Wei Bao had someone to take Miss Rui away. Thinking of Miss Rui's charming temperament, beautiful appearance, and past days, I didn't regret it, it hurts so much. He is not so "generous" in general, and he is also very surprised. I wonder why he was so "generous" to Wei Bao, a young man in the twentieth century?

Yang Hongyi patted his forehead and touched the "spiritual medicine" in his arms. Only then did he calm down. With the "spiritual medicine", he would not lack opportunities to be happy in the future, so he didn't care about a red card in the Yihongyuan. He thought to give it to him if he gave it to him. If he wanted to come back, it would be a petty family. In the future, he should not drink so much wine. Drinking alcohol will make things worse.

"I promised this person surnamed Wei, please help him with the road guide!" Yang Hongyi said to the bookkeeper.

The Book Office nodded and asked for instructions: "Sir, how much does it take to pay for the commission? When estimating, should you overestimate or underestimate?"

When Wu’s family comes to handle road induction, the goods are usually estimated at 20% of that, and the goods in Wu’s family are lower than the purchase price on the market.

"It's normal to estimate the price, and you'll get 50%!" Yang Hongyi had a good impression of Wei Bao, but he was very bad at making money. If he followed this commission ratio, Wei Bao's business would have a slim profit.

For example, Wei Bao's batch of goods is the purchase price of 5,000 tael silver. If the valuation price of the book office of the Wei Commander and Commander is also 5000 tael silver, then according to a 50% commission, Wei Bao's road quartz will have to pay 2,500 tael silver! Even if the goods can be sold for double the price of 10,000 tael silver, the cost price of 5,000 tael silver, and then the expense of 2,500 tael silver, the profit of 2,500 tael silver is left. This does not include transportation costs. In this era, transportation costs are the big deal, and there are some miscellaneous expenses incurred when purchasing and selling. For each level, the lower-level figures in the officialdom have to be divided into some benefits. The longer the road, the more you divide it out. If you are not well controlled, you have to pay the bill!

The bookkeeper nodded. The price offered by Lord Yang was very harsh, which was no different from the merchants who wanted to do business in the pass through normal applications. This was equivalent to not going through the back door. He said clearly and was ready to say goodbye and leave.

Yang Hongyi’s plan is that you didn’t give me much money by selling me ‘spiritual medicine’. If you give me more money in the future, I will give you some next time, but I can’t help but worry, is it too harsh to get the commission? What should I do if Wei Bao won’t make money by entering the country and doing business? No, at least he can’t let Wei Bao lose money.

"Wait, let's draw 40%! Drawing 50% is too much. Just double the Wu family's draw." Yang Hongyi was a little "conscience is uneasy" and took the initiative to give in a little. The commission ratio he reached between him and the Wu family was the final result of the comprehensive game between the various forces. Wei Bao did not have this influence, and the pricing was entirely based on Yang Hongyi's thoughts.

"Yes, please follow the instructions of the Lord." The clerk hurriedly bowed and agreed before leaving.

Shanhaiguan was not much larger, and the Literature Office quickly returned to the commander-in-law to reply to Liu Chunshi.

Liu Chunshi and Fan Danao were only responsible for contacting the people who were in charge of the Luyin and did not have the authority to bargain. Following the advance instructions of Mr. Wei, the two guard commanders and commanders of the Luyin led the two guards and commanders back to Shanhailou together, preparing to meet Mr. Wei and go back to Jinshan together.

If it is another business, there is no need to be such a problem, because the ability to do business inside and outside the customs must have shops in important towns, not like Wei Bao, who has just started, the warehouse can only be placed in the countryside, and can only be temporarily placed in stables. When the road is opened, the clerk will have to take back to Shanhaiguan to sign and seal Yang Hongyi before it can take effect, and someone will have to take it back from Shanhaiguan to Jinshan. It is indeed troublesome to have no "office" in large places.

When several people arrived at Shanhailou, Mr. Wei and Sister Fang still had not returned to "use breakfast". Uncle Sun Jiu was sulking and didn't know where the breakfast meal between the two people went. Uncle Sun Jiu was even worried, don't you eat the baby, right?

Naturally, Wei Bao and Fang Jie'er were not busy "bringing babies", but encountered difficulties.

Master Zhang, who is in his thirties, is a rough man in his thirties. He is not a few years younger than Veda Kang, but his face is more weathered than the villagers. He looks like a man in his forties, and his every move gives people a sense of steady and realistic.

Fang Jie'er said that Master Zhang, who is good at doing things, is based on the reputation of the moral character of the world. Master Zhang is an honest person and everyone he knows will give him a thumbs up and praise him. However, such "good people" usually have one thing in common - they are timid and afraid of things. At least compared with "flexible" people, they should be timid. Their life creed is mainly steady.

When Master Zhang heard Wei Bao and Fang Jie'er explain their purpose, his head shook like a rattle, "Young Master, Fang Jie, I'm going to tell you, Shanhaiguan is so big, we have heard the news about the goods between the young master and the Wu family. The young master has the ability to take the goods of the Wu family, and they are very capable people, but we just rely on our strength to make a living, so how dare we offend the Wu family? Man said that offending the nobles of the Wu family, even offending a minor official, can make people like us unable to stay here. I can say that no one in the entire Shanhaiguan, and even the entire Yongping Mansion, dares to take on this business, unless we don't want to live."

Fang Jie'er looked at Wei Bao helplessly, and she had no choice. Master Jiaxing did have their own difficulties. Fang Jie'er knew that Master Zhang was talking about the truth. Fang Jie'er probably expected this situation before, but she didn't expect that the other party would really refuse. If there was no help from Jiaxing, Fang Jie'er felt that Wei Bao would definitely go but not return by just finding a few villagers to pick up goods by herself.

Wei Bao had no choice. He refused to go, so he forced him to go? He looked at Fang Jie'er and didn't say anything. His mind was thinking about his ideas quickly, but he was confused for a moment. He was not a person with impatience and wisdom, extremely intelligent and talented. Wei Bao was just an ordinary person.

Wei Bao knew his strength. If he didn't have the help of his feet, he would definitely have no hope of success. His two revolvers performed extremely well and had a great luck. At most, he would deal with 4 to 5 cavalrymen at one time. This was already the best! His escort team might not be able to match the combat effectiveness of a cavalry. When he really encountered bandits looking for trouble, he would definitely not be able to only have a few people. He ran to Jinshan yesterday and there were 16 people! At that time, he would definitely be dispatched in full, with no less than fifty or sixty people.

"Master Zhang, please help me?" Fang Jie'er begged: "If you have any conditions, just open it and everyone will discuss it."

"Sister Fang, I really have no way to help. There is no need to talk about this. I have said just now that no one in the entire Yongping Mansion dares to take on this business!" Master Zhang sighed and said, "No matter how good the silver is, it's important to have no life. If your life is gone, what's the use of silver? How powerful is the Wu family? Who is not afraid? The words of the Wu family are better than those of the Emperor in the western and eastern Liaodong areas."

"Can't you go secretly? Who knows you've gone?" Fang Jie'er said unwillingly: "Young Master gives you more silver, which is twice as much silver as you go to Yongping Mansion and outside the pass. Is it okay? You can go to one trip by yourself for 1 tael of silver. This time, Mr. Wei gives you 2 taels of silver to each of you. It's almost the same distance, and the price is twice as high. Isn't it okay?"

When Fang Jie'er was anxious, she actually started bargaining on behalf of Wei Bao. As she said that, she glanced at Wei Bao and asked herself with her eyes whether it was OK to raise the price.

Wei Bao nodded immediately. Not to mention twice the price, this business is extremely important to him. He needs this experience! Even if it is five times the price, Wei Bao will accept it. Wei Bao urgently needs to broaden his horizons and make his interpersonal network exceed the scope of Yongping Mansion. Otherwise, in this place, the Wu family is a super bug-level existence. Even if he has a little relationship with the Yang Hongyi family, it will not play a great role in breaking away from the shackles of the Wu family. Only by constantly broadening his horizons and enhancing his interpersonal network can he have the opportunity to know a larger protective umbrella.

"Sister Fang, there is no airtight wall in this world? This is a deadly business." Master Zhang was not moved by twice the price and waved his hand and said, "You just let me go. We are just poor laborers and can make some money to make a living. Thank God."

"3 liang of silver patterns are one person!" Wei Bao couldn't help but raise the price.

Master Zhang's heart moved and looked at Wei Bao, "Young Master, it's really not a matter of price. There are already a lot of 2 taels of silver per person. Every line has rules for each line. Although we are inferior people, we also abide by the rules. The key is that we dare not make such a fatal money."

"4 taels of silver are a person! Master Zhang, people must be strong. This time the matter has been done. I guarantee you will have a next business! Life must be better than now! Since I dare to fight against the Wu family and can get the clearance route, I have the ability to keep doing it!" Wei Bao caught fire and rushed out loud. He still didn't believe it. Can't find anyone with money? People who are walking are the unemployed and vagrants in the city of this era, the most pitiful ethnic group, and they have no low requirements, so they have to have the strength to do it.

, you still need to know some skills and courage, but your social status is much lower than that of the escorts in the escorts, and you can only do hard work in daily life. The most direct and effective way to instigate others to change your mind is to brag, not only brag yourself, but also help the other party arouse the ambitions in your heart, or greed. Greed is indeed a force that promotes the upward trend of individuals and the entire society. Without greed, there will be no global era of navigation, there will be no industrial revolution, and there will be no world war!

The price of 4-two-patterned silver per person touched Master Zhang. They usually have very few business and can’t get out of Shanhaiguan once a month or two. They can only work hard labor in Shanhaiguan. Doing it once can catch up with the income of more than half a year. How can they not be moved?

But Master Zhang still pondered and did not dare to express his opinion easily.

Wei Bao saw that Master Zhang's psychology had changed and thought that the price should be in place now! He said what he should say, and there was no way to say anything he could not do. He shook his eyes and said, "If it really doesn't work, forget it, I'll think of another way. I can only find Lord Yang from the Commander-in-Chief of the Wei Department to think of a solution."

Fang Jie'er wanted to say that if she looked for Yang Hongyi, she would not have to do this business and would definitely lose money! But when she saw Wei Bao's wink, she instantly understood Wei Bao's intention to "urge" Master Zhang to make up his mind by retreating and advancing.

"Okay, that's all we can do, Master Zhang, let's go first." Fang Jie'er narrowed her beautiful eyes and said along with Wei Bao's words.

Wei Bao was secretly happy, feeling that she and Sister Fang had a tacit understanding, and she could understand what she was thinking in a moment.
