Chapter 615: Entangled Karma

The rice at home is ripe.

Liang Qu has two hundred acres of rice frogs and rice leeches, entering the harvest period in November to verify the results.

Without accidents, production will expand significantly next summer.

When the imperial court rewarded the Dragon Blood Horse in the past, Liang Qu didn't look for a tooth firm, hire a skilled horseman, but instead asked Yang Dongxiong for the twelve or thirteen-year-old Fan Xing, the youngest son of the Yang family's horseman.

No other reason.

It's reassuring to use people born in the house.

If there aren't enough people born in the house, look for fellow villagers, same prefecture, same county, same town, same village; the smaller the place, the better.

Need manpower, this is one.

Expand influence, this is two.

When Liang Qu was in the academy, he hadn't seen it, but he had heard of it.

The examination hall for the county examination is often much more luxurious than the higher-level provincial and metropolitan examinations, just because everyone in the county examination is a local, and local gentry are willing to spend money to build houses. In the future, if they pass the examination, there will be friendship.

In contrast, for the provincial examination, candidates come from all over the world, and after a few days of examination, people don't think of your kindness at all.

Yang Dongxiong became a Jiang Zongshi, and there are many ways to make money, so there is no need to be confined to a small martial arts hall.

Just like Liang Qu pulling in the Prince of Yue as a "protective umbrella."

A Martial Saint can protect a big business, and a Jiang Zongshi can protect a small business.

However, the martial arts hall cannot stop.

It is a root.

A symbol and coordinate of the Yang family in Pingyang Prefecture.

From Pingyang Town to Pingyang County and now to Pingyang Prefecture, the waves have been washing away one after another, but as long as the Yang family martial arts hall, which is rooted in the right place, stands tall, its influence can always be maintained above the standard line.

With influence, there are people who yearn for it.

With people who yearn for it, they can always be firmly rooted in the local area.

Such benefits cannot be seen for a while, but occasionally one day, perhaps they will appear.

Based on Liang Qu's personal experience.

Just one point.

In the past, when signing up for martial arts, fellow villager Li Libo spoke highly of Yang Dongxiong.

Therefore, even though the Yang family's threshold was the most expensive among the three martial arts halls, requiring seven taels of silver, Liang Qu still went.

Entangled karma.

Who can say clearly?

After living for a long time, it is inevitable to develop feelings for the place.

No father, no mother.

Where the sect is, that is home.

"Excellent disciples don't need to be rewarded with silver; give them study periods, raise their cultivation level, extend from three months to four months, five months, raise from seven taels to twenty taels that can drink medicinal soup... In the middle, give Cao Shixiong Hu, Cao Shixiong Xiang improved treatment, recruit excellent disciples as teaching assistants on weekdays..."

Liang Qu listed several measures one after another.

The Xu family's wife nodded silently.

"If you are really willing, I will do as you say. From now on, I will keep this money for you separately, just to save up for your bride price. If you want to use it, just say a word."

Liang Qu was overjoyed: "Thank you, master's wife."

"How much Jiaoxiao do you have on hand? I will arrange it. We must weave it quickly, and it should be on the market by the end of November."

"No, no, absolutely don't rush to sell!"

"Oh, why?"

"This matter must first trouble the old grandfather of the Xu family, find some reliable old friends in the palace. Otherwise, why would disciple let Sister Nandi specifically instruct you to choose wives who can be trusted? It's just because I don't want others to know about this thing first."

"What does this have to do with my father?"

"The old grandfather of the Xu family was the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices! Decades of capital officials, distributing meat at the Great Sacrifice every year, always know two big eunuchs, right? Spend more silver, send it to the imperial concubine in the palace to wear, and let the Holy Emperor taste it."

Liang Qu started a topic and talked endlessly.

From sending it into the palace, to tribute, creating a brand, limiting the number, setting standards, hunger marketing...

The Xu family's wife was stunned.

"Master's wife?"

"Continue."

"There are three points to a brand: name, icon, and slogan. As for the icon, I have an idea."

Liang Qu looked around, saw tea on the table, dipped his index finger in the tea, and drew an icon with two strokes.

A simple "y" with a curve, symbolizing the Jiaoren fish tail, highlighting the material focus.

"Disciple hasn't thought of the name and slogan yet. In short, try not to be complicated, and it must be catchy."

The Xu family's wife's eyes shone slightly.

"It sounds quite feasible. If it's really done according to what you said, it will be more than sixty to one hundred taels. It's not good to be too expensive; few people will buy it, and it will be difficult to spread. What we need to do is to separate the levels, divide them into high, medium, and low grades. The high ones are only given as gifts and not sold, and the medium and low ones are sold in a limited way."

Nandi was dumbfounded.

It turns out that what was said earlier was still a small part.

A small foot sock, can it be made into so many styles?

The Xu family's wife was amused: "If you go into business, you will definitely become a big merchant, Merchant Liang."

"It's not that easy. What disciple said is all easy to copy. Without name or status, there will likely not be a Merchant Liang, but a Merchant Liu, Merchant Zhang."

"I don't think so." The Xu family's wife shook her head, "I have seen many people with small cleverness. They raise a good idea in their stomachs and can't wait to throw it all out to let the world know their ability.

But the truly smart ones have one good idea after another in their stomachs. They are not in a hurry. They have patience. Wherever they go, they must first integrate into the environment. How can they easily let themselves suffer a loss?"

Liang Qu laughed.

The Xu family's wife spread out the Jiaoxiao, and the translucent thin gauze showed her palm: "Can this thing only be worn by women?"

"Almost."

"How did you think of this thing?"

The Xu family's wife was curious.

The Dragon Ladies are all beautiful. They have been together for a few months, and their behavior hasn't changed in the slightest. They are all virgins.

Based on this alone, it is enough to prove that Liang Qu is definitely not a person who is good at managing these things.

"The master's wife gave me clothes the day before yesterday. In the hazy night, disciple saw the Dragon Lady wearing Jiaoxiao, and it was an accidental gain."

"So, it's my fault?"

"That's why disciple thinks of the master's wife first when there are benefits. Cao Shixiong Xu told disciple yesterday that when drinking water, don't forget the well-digger."

The Xu family's wife was amused.

"We know your character, but outsiders don't. If you really make a big name in the future, people will say you are a man who specializes in studying women's things. Even if you earn a lot of money, your reputation will not be good."

Liang Qu was stunned.

"Does the master's wife have a solution?"

"Don't you have a Dragon Lady? Just say you got it while having fun in the boudoir. If it spreads, you might even get a romantic reputation."

"Cough, cough." Liang Qu coughed violently, "Absolutely not, it will ruin people's reputation."

The Xu family's wife narrowed her eyes.

"If you accomplish real things, it won't be ruined. I see that several girls like you very much. As soon as they are by your side, their eyebrows relax, and as soon as you leave, they tighten up.

Simply put, being with you makes people feel at ease and steady. I don't know what you did on weekdays."

Liang Qu was stunned.

Is there?

The Xu family's wife held her forehead.

"I have taken them shopping several times. Just buy things? They are all good people, so I haven't introduced any good families to you. Otherwise, let alone the Great Hunting Meeting, after the birthday banquet, just in October, many people came to me to play matchmaker.

In short, hunger leads to eating, cold leads to warmth, labor leads to rest. These are all things people are born with. Regardless of whether you have thoughts or not, don't go to messy places on weekdays, you know?"

"Disciple understands, definitely won't, they are all poor women."

"Good, I'll think of a way." The Xu family's wife patted Liang Qu's forehead, Nandi waved and followed out of the room.

"Whoo! Settled."

Liang Qu believes in the Xu family's wife, and even more in the Xu family's ability.

Starting with cloth, everything is connected. Mention a concept, and the remaining details will be supplemented by capable people.

Peng Ze.

Most of the tents were packed up, and large and small bags were bundled up.

Originally, it was difficult to command the young Jiaoren to move, but now that they knew they were going to the Jianghuai Great Marsh, most of them were packed in one night.

It shows enthusiasm and motivation.

Quan Linghan shook his head helplessly.

Jianghuai Great Marsh.

The ships of the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce were docked on the water.

Good swimmers carried treasure plant seeds and jumped into the water, looking for places to bury them one by one.

In less than a moment, green buds full of water emerged, sprouting and growing.

Several Great Spirit Monsters watched silently. ===== CHAPTER 616 =====

The skilled swimmers carried the seeds of the precious plants, jumped into the water, found suitable spots, and buried them one by one.

Before an hour had passed, the green buds, having absorbed enough water, poked out their tips and began to sprout and grow.

Several large spirit monsters watched silently.
