But Xu Yan had been idle in Gushan Academy for a few days, and the fat little man Yang Pengju rushed over and complained.

It turned out that he had dug up many porcelain-making masters from Jingdezhen. He had planned to make a big fortune. Who would have thought that the porcelain fired from the new kiln would crack, and it was not as good as the quality produced by Jingdezhen porcelain.

Xu Yan was a little helpless now.

Although he is a time traveler, he is not an engineering student.

He really doesn't have the skill points for making kilns and glasses that are essential for time travelers.

"Ahem, is it not that the kiln temperature is not enough?"

Xu Yan remembered the only knowledge of burning kilns.

“The kiln temperature is not enough?”

Yang Pengju couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

To be honest, he didn't really consider this issue.

"Then I'll go back and try adding Garwin."

The little fat man swallowed and then continued: "Brother has another thing that is a bit troublesome. The porcelain makers I hired must go back to their hometown in Jiangxi during the New Year. They must bring their silver back, but it is inconvenient to bring too much money on the way and are easily missed by thieves."

As Yang Pengju’s business partner, Xu Yan naturally wanted to give him some advice.

"Can't the money house be cashed out?"

Yang Pengju shook his head and said, "The money shop can only be cashed locally, but if you go to another place, you cannot be cashed in. And each shop only has its own shops."

Yang Pengju is very talented in doing business, so Xu Yan certainly does not doubt his news.

The Piaohao officially appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Its predecessor was a money house, but there is indeed a fundamental difference between the two in terms of cashing out methods.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the bill industry was already very developed, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a world-wide connection.

But now it is far from reaching this level, which makes businessmen suffer.

Xu Yan suddenly had a bold idea.

This seems to be an opportunity.

Business in the Ming Dynasty was already very developed and there was a huge demand for cash.

However, money shops in the Ming Dynasty could not meet this demand.

There is a market where there is demand. If you can invest in the voting industry, you will definitely make a big profit.

"Brother Pengju, I have an idea. What do you think of opening a money house?"

"Money house? Why did the elder brother suddenly want to open a money house? The elder brother has already had too much money to the point where he needs to release officials?"

Yang Pengju was very surprised.

"Ahem, I don't mean that."

Xu Yan swallowed and said, "The money house you want to open is not the same as what you understand. Or it is not the same as the existing money house."

“How is it different?”

The little fat man was immediately attracted by interest.

"Simply put, you deposit silver at the money house, and you can get a cash exchange at various places without restrictions. In this way, you only need to bring a note when you go out, which greatly reduces the risk."

Xu Yan talked happily: "I'm sure this will cause a gust of storm."

Yang Pengju is still very talented in doing business. He only savored Xu Yan's words and clapped his hands and praised: "Brother is really a genius. When will you open a store? I want to invest in it."

Xu Yan didn't expect that Yang Pengju would really get on the way.

Although he was optimistic about the ticket number, he was a new thing in the Ming Dynasty and was still a little unsure.

The little fat man is willing to invest and share his risks, so he is naturally very happy.

"Well, that's great. After someone finalizes the site selection, we will discuss it with Brother Pengju."

"This vase of the Stone Record is the best seller. Can you please give me more insights? I'd better prepare early."

As we chatted, we arrived at the Stone Record.

The little fat man made a lot of money by selling vases around Stone Records. After tasting the sweetness, he naturally hopes to make more money.

"This is easy to say. I will draw a small sample and hand it over to you."

Xu Yan doesn't plan to write a manuscript to the little fat man.

This is not because he does not trust Yang Pengju, but because of careful consideration.

Besides, brothers have to settle the score clearly, Xu Yan is already very interested in Yang Pengju.

Just as he was chatting, Mr. Qian walked in.

Seeing that he looked bad, Xu Yan greeted him with a smile.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"Hmph, these artful and elegant vulgar people are really awesome. I was upset when I saw the teacher, so I just went into the house to avoid it."

Xu Yan knew that Mr. Qian was talking about the bridge construction outside Gushan, and said with a wry smile: "This is the three fires that the governor has taken office as a new official. You can't help others to show it, right?"

"It's okay to set fire, but it's unbearable to put it at my door."

Qian Dehong said angrily: "So what about the governor? Can the governor do whatever he wants?"

Xu Yan knew very well that his mentor was famous for being stubborn, and he believed that even ten cows could not be pulled back.

"Look at what you always say, it's a good thing to build a bridge. There are also many bridges near Gushan, and there is no sight to be seen."

"Hmph, the ancients were ancients, and the moderns were moderns. How could it be confused? Besides, this bridge is so ugly, it really makes your eyes dirty."

It can be seen that the mentor is very dissatisfied with the new governor, and even the bridge he presided over was disliked.

Xu Yan has no good idea about this. You can't impeach him just because someone built a bridge, right?

"Look at it again, maybe I'll get used to it after watching it."

Xu Yan said with a laugh.

"Forget it, I'm not upset when I see you. Let's teach you how to write articles."

Xu Yan never thought that a fire was on him, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"There is no need to do this. You should take a rest more often."

"How can this work? You have shown signs of slackness recently. What did your good disciple tell you? You should not stop reading for a day, or you should not write articles for a day, otherwise it would be difficult to recover it."

Seeing that his arms could not resist his thighs, Xu Yan had to accept the arrangement of his mentor and sighed: "Brother Peng Ju, let's discuss it again."

Yang Pengju gave him a sympathetic look, cleared his throat and said, "Goodbye, brother."

After saying that, he ran away.

So only Qian Dehong and Xu Yan were left in the house.

Xu Yan knew that he couldn't escape, so he made a pot of tea for his mentor and said, "Where should we start with mentor?"

"Knowing is to know what you don't know what you don't know, that is to know."

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment.

Why did my mentor suddenly come up with such a question?

"This seems to be talking about academic research, and it also applies to the court."

Qian Dehong was prepared and talked freely: "Those treacherous ministers are ignorant, but they are pissed into capable ministers who rule the world. As a result, the king still trusts them, which makes it impossible for the truly capable people to perform their fists, but their positions are occupied by these corpse-positioned people."

Xu Yan tentatively said: "Does the teacher think this kind of question may appear in the big exam?"

"In recent years, the big tests must be cut off, making the articles not like articles. However, no one has released such simple questions. I think the atmosphere is about to change."

This is a good statement. The popular style of imperial examination questions will generally change after a period of time. It seems that Xu Yan needs to pay attention to these simple and easy-to-understand questions.
