Shops in the capital are hard to find.

In fact, it doesn't mean that the prices of shops in the capital are so expensive, but that the shops in good locations are basically in the hands of those dignitaries.Don't look at the fact that the officials themselves don't do business on the surface, but there are many businesses behind the scenes.

One of the more common ones is to give loyal and reliable servants of their own family, get rid of their slave status and switch to business status, and let these servants go into business directly.In fact, it is like hiring a professional manager, the biggest benefit is still in the hands of the owner.

The other is that businessmen take the initiative to seek relationships with officials.It is not particularly difficult to build a relationship, the easiest thing is to bring one or two people to the mansion.

It is true that there are officials who don't pay for oil and salt, but these days, there are not a few beauties who raise a few beauties in their own homes to entertain guests; not to mention most of them are raised as concubines for the sake of money.There is a lot of money to be an official, but the expenses of various travels are also high.Besides, no one thinks too much money, right?

The Xu family has such concubines, and the Ye family also has them.Although their status in the husband's family is not very good, but they have to be supported when they return to their mother's house.

Xu Mingxu's sixth brother's biological mother is a merchant girl.Xu Liu is only two months older than Xu Mingxu. As far as food and clothing are concerned, he is not the best in the mansion, but he is definitely not bad. In terms of private money, he is probably more expensive than the eldest son of the Xu family. extra.

Xu Mingxu knows that shops in the capital make money.

As for how much money he could make, after looking at the account books in recent years, he also knew a general idea.

But how to make more money, how to make money make money, he doesn't know.

The brochure sent by Yang Si only said that he bought fields and land in affluent places in the south of the Yangtze River with the money he earned from the shop.But everyone knows that the land over there is good, and the price is naturally not much cheaper.Although the shop can earn a lot of money in a year, it may take no less than ten years to buy enough land in the south of the Yangtze River, and even if it is faster, it will take seven or eight years.

"I am afraid that Yang Si thinks that I am young. Wait until ten or so years later, probably when I just became a scholar. At that time, I will buy a private property, and it will be far away. First, it is a guarantee, and second, I will come to the capital. I don't care here either. But, I don't want to wait that long."

These words were said quietly to Tu Hao by Xu Mingxu after the room was empty at night.

Tu Hao understood.In the early years, Xu Mingxu was very angry in Dafang. After all, he was a little angry, but he always thought that if he lived alone now, he must have a better life than Dafang.But what a good way to do it, Xu Mingxu, a 13-year-old who spends almost all his time studying, really has nowhere to start.

"Your grandma gave you a silk and satin shop, right? My family just opened a cloth shop..." Tu Hao hesitated when he spoke.

Having a good relationship is one thing, and doing business in partnership is another.Let alone a partnership, it is he who came up with the idea. At his current age, it is still a child's play.If nothing happened, then he had no merit or fault; if something happened, he would not be able to explain clearly.

Xu Mingxu heard the hesitation in Tu Hao's words, but he felt that it was hard for him to say it.After all, he has lived with Tu Hao for so long, and he knows that Tu Hao looks indifferent on the surface, but in fact he is definitely among the top three students in the Guozijian in terms of food and clothing.The two of them were not the only ones who could live in a small courtyard for two people in the Imperial College, but only after Tu Hao came, did they set up a kitchen and a bathroom.

It's not that the Tu family can't afford Tu Hao's expenses, but the butcher has never been a particular person.If Tu Hao could afford it, it was because the Tu family was rich, so he didn't care about such a small amount of daily expenses.Although the butcher's son was no longer the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, the legend of the butcher... son was circulating everywhere in the Imperial Academy.

Although Xu Mingxu didn't know how to do business, but he grew up in a family like the Xu's, he knew a little about the world, and soon understood the reason why Tu Hao stopped talking.

He knew that Tu Hao definitely wouldn't mind pulling him, but he couldn't drag Tu Hao to the ground, otherwise he would fall into the mud.He hugged Tu Hao tightly in his arms, changed the subject and talked about the changes in his home: "The yard of the second room has been remarked. When I left last time, I still lived in the original small yard temporarily. Listen to grandma. Said, the entire Xiyuan is occupied by second-bedrooms." Speaking of this, he smiled lightly, "In the past, our family only had one bedroom. The yard outside has been tidied up and turned into a garden. There are all pavilions and pavilions inside, but it takes time and effort to build, and if it is all completed, it will be next spring anyway."

"Then I'm going to play." Tu Hao eagerly changed the topic along with him.

"Of course I invite you to go with me. If, if you think it's fun, can we stay together for a few more days?" Xu Mingxu was a little cautious when he asked.

He wanted to give this little mouse all the good things, and it would be best for him to keep it in his palm obediently and sleep late with his white belly turned over.But he has too little, let alone anything good.He was eager to make money and be self-reliant, not just because of the little anger he said to Tu Hao, but also because he was eager to please Tu Hao.The kid had been the best and best person to him ever since he could remember.

As for the kindness of grandparents to him, not only gave him a place in the Imperial College, but also treated him as a house, it was all because of his value, because no one in the Xu family was more promising than him in this generation.For this, he was grateful in his heart, but he didn't feel too much warmth.

"I'm afraid it won't work for a few days." Tu Hao didn't think much about it at first, but when he mentioned it like this, he suddenly felt that staying at a good classmate's house was indeed a very fun thing.

Hearing Tu Hao's refusal, Xu Mingxu's heart sank immediately, but before he sank to the bottom, he heard Tu Hao continue to say: "There are very few holidays in our Guozijian, and only when there are some big festivals can we give them to you." Two or three days off. I estimate that I can only stay for one day at most."

It's a big festival, and there are some activities at home that you have to participate in.It's not that one of the two people lives far away, and there are no relatives in the capital, so that we can go to the house of a classmate and friend for the holidays.

When Xu Mingxu heard this, he immediately became happy: "Okay, then let's make a deal first!"

Hearing Xu Mingxu's joy, Tu Hao couldn't help but also laughed, and at the same time couldn't help feeling a little bit pained in his heart.

The room was dark and nothing could be seen.Tu Hao subconsciously kissed Xu Mingxu's face: "It's decided. If you have a chance, you will come to my house to play." It's so difficult for this beautiful boy to make friends. In modern times, little girls in school have to get along with each other. Such a beautiful boy is a tablemate who grabs his head.Hmm... Maybe there are little boys?

"Okay." Xu Mingxu answered after a while.The child's soft lips kissed his face, making his whole body warm from the heart.

After a while, he gently touched the child's face with his lips more carefully.Immediately, as if he had gotten something good, he couldn't help grinning silently in the dark.

It turns out that children are like this, fragrant and tender, like hot tofu nao just out of the pot in the morning.

Although there are several younger brothers and sisters under him, they have never been close to him, and he is not interested in sticking his hot face to others' cold ass.He never thought those children were so cute and attractive, but this little mouse in his arms was different.All those children are not half as cute as the little mouse.

The next day, Qi Qi found out that the relationship between Xu Mingxu and his young master seemed to be better.

Xiao Zhong didn't think so.The relationship between the two young masters is already very good, which saves a lot of effort for him as a servant; he can support each other in doing things, and he doesn't have to be on guard all day long, and he doesn't have to be on guard all day long, compared to dealing with the big house. People, it's much better to go.As for the others, why is he thinking so much as a servant?Just serve my young master properly.

His performance like this made Xu Mingxu feel pretty good.

There is a big difference between those who have books and those who do not.He soon discovered that he had more time to spend on reading and studying. He obviously had to follow him every morning. To be precise, he would take Tu Hao to run around and toss back and forth. It would take half an hour.

Early exercise was proposed by Tu Hao himself.The medical conditions in this era can't be compared with his previous life at all, and he absolutely doesn't want to get sick.In this life, the physique is inherently weak, such as practicing martial arts, such a physical condition is simply a joke.He doesn't have the slightest comprehension in martial arts, even if he can't completely improve his physique by exercising early, it can at least strengthen him a little.

But I think so rationally, and emotionally... Yayadi, getting up early in the winter is too painful!

Xu Mingxu persevered every day.He knew that exercising early was good for Tu Hao, so he firmly caught the little mouse out of the quilt every day, and took it out for a run.

Qi Qi and Xiao Zhong took turns to record for them.

When the new year was approaching, the progress of the two young masters was very obvious.

Xu Mingxu looked at the small notebook recorded, bowed his head and kissed Tu Hao, and praised: "The little mouse is really powerful. At first, he could only trot for half a circle, and then he finished a circle and a half; now he can trot for a circle and a half, and he can walk a circle and a half fast!" "

Tu Hao also turned his head and gave Xu Mingxu a "yes": "Brother is even better, he can already run five laps!"

So, when the butcher walked in, he immediately saw that his son was belittling the young man.

Tu Hao found a bandit... No, it was his father standing at the door. He immediately jumped off Xu Mingxu, rushed to the door, and stopped in front of his father: "Father!"
