Before he arrived in Yangzhou, Asong first took a small boat into the city, prepared to drive, and walked to the barrier, and waited to the pier for the women to travel.

Zhang Changzong sat with Mrs. Zheng and Master Wan'er, looking out through the window. At this time, Yangzhou Wharf could be seen from afar. Zhang Changzong pointed to the warehouses lined up beside the wharf and introduced: "Master, the area to the north is our warehouse. It is the largest one on the wharf. The cabinet shop is open in the city."

Shangguan Wan'er, who has changed into men's clothing, nodded and looked at the warehouses lined up on the shore, sighing: "Just just look at the number of warehouses, you can tell the prosperity of Yangzhou City."

Xue Chongxiu said: "This is the largest wharf from the estuary, and it is also the only way to enter Huaiyan salt into Beijing. With developed canal transportation, there are naturally more cargo warehouses. When I came to inspect the last time, there were not so many cargo warehouses on the wharf. This time, I came here a lot more than the last time."

While the few were chatting, the boat was docked, and Asong had prepared the car and the step barrier to set up the step barrier. Shangguan Wan'er was dressed in a man. In order to cover up, a few strands of fake beards were stuck on her lips. The master and apprentice were riding horses. Zheng and Xue Chongxiu took Baoning to walk the step barrier directly onto the carriage.

Although most of the people in Yangzhou City must not know him, Zhang Changzong still grew a beard and changed his clothes to the point of being safe. He looked at least five years older than his real age. In addition, he deliberately pretended to be mature in front of outsiders, and no one would doubt it if he was thirty years old. By the way, his daughter was also replaced by him in a boy's outfit.

Unexpectedly, this was a big deal. Not only did the child’s mother love him so much, but even Master Wan'er and Mrs. Zheng also looked nostalgic. All of them were reminded of Zhang Changzong’s appearance when he was young. Looking at him, he felt quite intimate and nostalgic.

Although I came to inspect the industry along the way, I didn’t need to visit the scene in person. Xue Chongxiu was a meticulous and thoughtful person. At the beginning of the business, he clearly defined the experience of 5,000 years of management methods, plus the exploration and practice of the road, rules and regulations, welfare measures, etc.

In addition, there were many servants under her name, and she chose smart, smart, trained and loyal to the management. As a privileged class in feudal society, she had a great chance of ensuring her loyalty. Even when she came to inspect the local area, she also called people in to see, give some condolences, and expressed her concern. Every year, every quarter, there were reports, and everything was under control.

The person in charge of this matter in Yangzhou was Xue Chongxiu's dowry, A Yan and his wife. She also asked someone to take care of the house and happily welcomed the master into the house. A Yan stood respectfully, waiting for the master to ask questions.

As the male host, Zhang Changzong also had to meet him with him, but he basically didn't interrupt. Xue Chongxiu said alone and only said something when he needed it occasionally.

"...In recent years, there have been more cargo ships from the canal, and the demand for cargo warehouses is quite high. The master ordered slaves and other people to control the scale, so they should not be too high-profile. The slaves dare not disobey, but asked a merchant named Guo Fang to take the opportunity to develop. Now, in addition to us, there is Guo Ji on the Yangzhou wharf, which is quite popular and has stolen many of our merchants."

A Yan was quite unhappy. A mere businessman dared to steal business. A Yan was resentful. Xue Chongxiu smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay. If you have the means and rules, your means are not as good as others. You should review and reflect, and then look up and catch up. If you don't follow the rules, you have your own way of not following the rules, why not be angry?"

"Here, I understand."

Ayan was a little depressed. Xue Chongxiu glanced at her and said, "You have been doing well over the years and have a good grasp of the position. I know in my heart that the warehouse is just a small profit. The key is to operate the warehouse. It is more important to grasp the goods dealers who save money in the warehouse."

"Here."

A Yan was a little happy, looked up at the master carefully, and asked carefully: "Madam, I heard that the little lady has also come this time? I wonder if I am lucky to meet me?"

A Yan is a loyal servant for generations. He has always been loyal to Xue Chongxiu and is a very handsome person in the mansion. Xue Chongxiu smiled and said, "I want you to meet you. Speaking of which, your daughter should be eight years old, right? Have you taught me?"

A Yan was both surprised and happy, and looked flattered: "I have asked my wife about it. The eldest daughter of the servant is eight years old, older than the younger wife. She has taught some rules and learned to do things."

Xue Chongxiu nodded: "It's so good. Baoning is getting older every day. I'll discuss with Junma. It's time to pick someone for her. You can bring someone in tomorrow."

"Here."

A Yan was surprised and happy, and was grateful: "I will wait for my little girl to come to see her tomorrow. If it can be seen, I will leave it to listen to me. If it doesn't, I will take it back and discipline it."

Xue Chongxiu smiled and said, "I am relieved to what you taught me."

As he was speaking, someone from outside came to report: "Report to my wife, there is a man named Guo Fang in the doorman who came to post to ask for a visit."

Xue Chongxiu was over and Zhang Changzong was amused: "This guy is well-informed, and he came to him in a short while."

A Yan looked shocked and angry: "Duan is arbitrary, and this is also the one who can meet with such a person. It's simply outrageous! The lady doesn't need to pay attention to such an unruly person and let the servant go and cook."

Xue Chongxiu nodded and ignored it. It was not that she discriminated against merchants, but that the current situation is like this. With her identity, not to mention that Guo Fang is just doing well in Yangzhou City now, even if he is having a great deal of businessman, he can't raise his head in front of her.

After seeing Ayan, I took a rest for a while. The next day, I met Ayan's family and left Ayan's eight-year-old daughter and pointed it out to Baoning. The Ayan's family left happily. Their descendants could continue to serve the next generation of the master's family, which represented the master's trust in them and a reward for their loyalty, so they were naturally happy.

After Ayan's family left, the group went out of the city to appreciate the scenery of Yangzhou. At this time, there was no trace of the Slender West Lake, and it was still a simple moat. There were no gardens of major salt merchants who were skilled in the art of nature. They were more likely to appreciate the mountains and waters that were completely different from the North.

Shangguan Wan'er dressed up as a man and walked as Zhang Changzong's uncle. Zheng's grandmother was naturally the old lady, Xue Chongxiu and Baoning were naturally the wife and children. The family was naturally happy to travel.

After seeing the scenery for a day, it was naturally time to shop the next day. Zhang Changzong believed that when he went out to play, he always had to buy some local unique things when he went to the local area. Especially now, there are not as developed as modern logistics, and many things cannot be transported to the capital, such as food.

Mrs. Zheng was born in a northern family. Master Wan'er was born in the palace since she was a child and was used to the taste of the northern ones. Yangzhou cuisine is famous all over the world and is very different from the northern ones. Zhang Changzong wanted to bring two of them to try it.

I ordered a private room in the largest restaurant in Yangzhou City and ordered a table of local dishes to eat. Zheng and Master Wan'er were in good spirits today. I also brought a pot of local Huadiao wine, which was light and slow to drink, which was so pleasant. However, this kind of comfort was disturbed by uninvited guests.

"Customer, please use duck traps. This dish is good for nourishing the stomach and spleen, light and refreshing, and is most suitable for the elderly and children."

The waiter brought another dish, and Zhang Changzong raised his eyebrows: "This is not the dish we ordered."

The waiter was stunned and quickly smiled and said, "Yes, this was not what you ordered by the customer, it was a gift from a guest downstairs."

Zhang Changzong raised his eyebrows and smiled as if he was smiling: "Who was someone ordered? Who was it? A man of unknown origin will not eat it."

The waiter immediately said, "It's so good for the guest to know that it's the local big businessman Guo Fangguo."

Outside, a male voice with a little Jiangnan accent immediately rang out in a man's voice and said in a man's words: "I wonder if I have the honor to meet a distinguished guest in a certain family?"
