"Sanniang, congratulations!" The villagers congratulated Zhang Sanniang one after another.

The tolerance for the announcement of the good news was even more congratulated, "Since the boy's test started, Wuxian has never won the first place in the examination. The son-in-law is the first person in Wuxian. Congratulations to the eldest lady!"

Zhang Sanniang smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth and said repeatedly: "Thank you everyone! Thank you everyone!"

The housekeeper Lao Yuan reminded him, "Auntie, thank you for spending money!"

Zhang Sanniang suddenly woke up and said quickly: "Go to the side room and take out the red box money and spread it to everyone!"

The red box had thirty stakes, and several young people went to help carry it out. Lao Yuan sent money to everyone, and the tolerance officers for the announcement of the good news received several stakes, and each of them had stakes and left happily.

Everyone was very happy for a moment, and the whole village was talking about Fanning's first place in the exam. Fanning's first place in the exam for boys' exam was not only the glory of the Fan family, but also the glory of Jiangwan Village. Many villagers went to their relatives to show off their relationship with the Fan family.

The news spread quickly, and the entire Wu County was in full swing. Countless parents came to the Fan family to ask for the secrets of the prodigy, which made the Fan family crowded for a while.

Zhang Sanniang had to tell the story of honeysuckle bathing over and over again, and naturally led to honeysuckle being sold well for several years.

So using honeysuckle to bathe children has become a custom in Wu County, which has caused a wave of growing honeysuckle among farmers in Wu County to rise up. This is not to be mentioned later.

On the second day after the imperial examinations were released, Fan Ning took away two thousand guan from Guanpu Store in a low-key manner. This incident greatly stimulated the Mingren and Mingli brothers.

The two brothers have worked hard in the past few years to make money. They have done everything that is profitable, and even gave up the imperial examination. They have gotten up before dawn and can fall asleep late at night. They dream about business opportunities every day.

But Fanning just bet casually, and the money they earned was more than they earned after getting up early and working late for more than two years. The two brothers began to reflect, and they gradually realized that their small fights would not become the weather in the end.

At noon, most of the scholars had already set off on their way back home, and the scenery in Changzhou County gradually returned to their past.

At a small table beside the window in Zhulou, Fan Ning and Mingren sat opposite each other.

Fanning picked up the teacup and drank a sip of hot tea, and said lightly: "You think it seems too easy for me to make two thousand guans by betting casually, but have you ever thought about it? If you won two thousand guans, will Guanpu store give you the money? You figured it out and let's talk about it."

The two brothers are very spiritual in their business, and they can be easily understood at a glance. Mingren hurriedly said: "We understand in our hearts that if you are not the first place in the boy test, if the prefect Dong did not say hello to the Yang family, the Guanpu Store would definitely not recognize the account. They could say that they had no trump card and did not recognize the bet."

Mingli added: "We also know that making big money is not something that everyone can do. Without enough background support, you can only make some small money."

Fanning nodded, "This is the first thing I want to explain to you clearly. The background and background are the basis for making money. To put it bluntly, if the county school had not been for my sake, it would have never tolerated you doing business in the county school. You should be very clear about this."

Mingren and Mingli were both speechless. Of course, they knew very well that Fan Ning had helped them. Last year they printed a book and sold it. As a result, Jiangning's original book shop found Wuxian and came to sue the official.

When Lu Dutou heard about their relationship with Fan Ning, he immediately sent someone to inform them secretly, so that they could transfer the stereotypes and books in time. In the end, the other party found nothing and complained without leaving any complaints.

As for the county school allowing them to do business, it was because Zhang Ruoying turned a blind eye to them because Fan Ning helped to overthrow Zhang Yi.

Of course, they are very clear that making money requires background and backstage. Their parents are the best examples. They worked hard to open a grocery store to earn a few small amounts of money to support their family. After more than ten years of operation, they were squeezed out by a large shop with background backstage in a few days.

"Anning, what do you think we should do!"

Seeing that they had already understood, Fanning took out a piece of egg-shaped yellow stone the size of a grapefruit from the book bag and placed it in front of them.

"I bought this piece of topaz in Qishi Lane three years ago. Look, it is like solidified honey, very beautiful, but it is not valuable. It can be bought for three hundred cents. It can be said that people in the deep boudoir are not aware of it.

If it becomes a hundred times worth in two or three years, and literati are crazily sought after by us, and this topaz vein is occupied by us, or we have already stocked up enough raw stones, do you think this is a channel to make a lot of money?”

Mingren picked up Tian Huangshi and looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is simply mutton fat topaz, which is only sold for 300 cents?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and the fire of ambition began to flash in their eyes. Fanning pointed out a prosperous road to make a fortune.

Mingli pondered for a moment and asked, "You said just now that literati do not value this topaz now. What should we do to make it warm in the circle of literati?"

Fan Ning smiled, "This is my business. What you two have to do is to join hands with the Zhu family to buy this mine vein and stock up on a large scale. Go back and go to Wujiang and find Mr. Zhu Yuanfu. I also wrote to him at the beginning of the year to talk about this. The Zhu family has a silver mine and a baking tea factory in Fuzhou. Mr. Zhu also expressed his willingness to cooperate with me. As long as you negotiate with the Zhu family, you will go to the strange stone museum to get 10,000 taels of silver and rent a large cargo ship to Fuzhou by sea!"

"Wait a minute!"

The two brothers were a little confused, and Mingren hurriedly said, "I'm a little confused. Let's go to Zhu Yuanfu. Why should they trust us and discuss cooperation? How much does it cost to each person? Make it clear."

Mingli also interrogated: "Where is the origin of this topaz in Fuzhou, Fuzhou? How do we find the origin? How do we buy mineral veins? Aning, you let us do such a big business, at least you have to explain it to us clearly."

"So, please don't worry, listen to me explain the matter clearly."

Fan Ning said calmly: "First, it's not that you are asking you to talk to the Zhu family. I have already negotiated with Mr. Zhu, but that you are just asking you to run errands. This is a matter of money for the strange stone museum, and the mine veins bought also belong to the strange stone museum.

Your fathers account for 10% of the members of the strange stone hall. This time I will give you two parts, two brothers each, and the Zhu family and I each account for 40%;

Second, I will write a letter for you to bring to Mr. Zhu. At that time, he will arrange for a manager to go to Fuzhou with you, and then the specific matter of buying a mine is not necessary. The Zhu family’s management committee at the Fuzhou Silver Mine will handle this matter;

Third, what you have to do is find this mine belt, probably at the junction of Luoyuan County and Lianjiang County, Fuzhou, where someone sells this topaz, which is easy to find out;

Fourth, after buying the ore vein, recruit people to dig immediately, and purchase them in large quantities at the same time. I am worried that the court will get involved after it becomes a treasure pot;

Fifth, rent a warehouse in Mingzhou Port and Fuzhou Port, and then continuously transport the raw stones back to Pingjiang Prefecture;

sixth......"

Fan Ning explained the matter clearly, and Mingren and Mingli felt tremendous pressure. This kind of business was completely different from the small business they did.

Fanning saw the pressure in their eyes and smiled and said, "This kind of stone is not valuable in the local area. Many people use it to build pigpens. You have only worked hard for the past two years, but there is actually no danger. When it becomes popular in the future, you should be in the strange stone museum in the capital."

The huge temptation of getting rich made the two unable to refuse. They nodded slowly and stared at the oval topaz on the table. They felt that their destiny was already associated with this beautiful stone.

Fanning reached out and put the stone away.

"I will hand over this stone to you. You will take it to Fuzhou. Now your task is to have a meal first. After the meal, you can follow me to do something."
