The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Sun Zhongmou slept well in the guest room, and now that his sister's problem had been solved, he was relieved.

He then sent Feige to pass the letter to Sun Ce.

Explain this situation.

Although he knew, Sun Ce probably already knew that his sister was fine.

After waking up, Xi Yu arranged for him to eat and asked him if he slept well.

"Yes, thanks to the actor, I slept well yesterday."

Xi Yu said that the north and the south have different climates and environments, and many people may not be used to it.

Sun Zhongmou thought, it was indeed true. In fact, he had just changed to a new environment and he really couldn't sleep well.

But he didn't say that.

After eating, Xi Yu led Sun Zhongmou to Ouyang's house first.

He also asked if the office of the association had been cleaned up. If it was cleaned up, he would move there directly, otherwise he would live in Ouyang's house for the time being.

Knowing Sun Zhongmou's arrival, Ouyang Fu was very happy.

It is said that the other courtyard is being cleaned up now, and it is estimated that it will be able to live in this afternoon.

Sun Zhongmou said: "In that case, let's go to the Chamber of Commerce first as the opera master said."

But it is enough for Ouyang Fu to let Sun Zhongmou rest here, and he should leave this matter to himself.

Sun Zhongmou shook his head.

"No, I have to go in person. After all, as the president of the next step, I have to meet a lot of people."

Ouyang Fu had no choice but to agree.

Sun Zhongmou said again: "By the way, Mr. Ouyang, the opera master said that he would like to let me see something called a bicycle. He also said that he would send someone to Soochow next."

Ouyang Fu was overjoyed and immediately took him to the backyard.

Liu Xiaoer and others are still producing bicycles.

There are many bicycles in a warehouse, and these are all ordered.

Ouyang Fu specially took a bicycle and gave it to Sun Zhongmou to watch.

To Sun Zhongmou, this thing is naturally very miraculous.

Sun Zhongmou wanted to give it a try, but Ouyang Fu said: "It's better not to try it, this is not something you can ride casually."

But Sun Zhongmou thinks that he is very good at riding a horse. Isn't this bicycle easy to use?
And just now he had heard Ouyang Fu say some essentials.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ouyang Fu had no choice but to let him go.

When Sun Zhongmou just kicked on, he suddenly tilted and fell very embarrassingly.Ouyang Fu couldn't help but still laughed.

Then Sun Zhongmou said embarrassingly: "It seems that I really don't know how to do it, but I will definitely have a chance to learn it in the future."

Ouyang Fu originally planned to ride a bicycle to contact Sun Zhongmou if he could not come.

But now it can only be impossible.

"Oh, so you've already learned?"

Ouyang Fu said that he faces bicycles every day, and now he can be regarded as the boss of a bicycle business. Wouldn't it be a loss of face if he didn't know how?

So I have secretly learned it, and finally learned it yesterday.

"Sun Gongzi, even a stupid person like me can learn it, so you will learn it soon."

Ouyang Fu expressed his encouragement, and then the two of them officially went to the street.

Seeing the prosperity of Youzhou again, Sun Zhongmou once again sighed with emotion.

He and his brother were both extremely ambitious in the past, but now it seems that they have truly surrendered completely.

Because even if he gets the country, he may not love the people like a child like Xi Xiyu.

And he found out now.When many people talk about Xi Yu, they seem to surrender in their hearts, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Ouyang Fu didn't just send out two people, otherwise he would be too tired.

He also mobilized some servants at home to do this.

Some small storefronts seem to feel that joining the association will bring more benefits.

Moreover, this association was actually arranged by Xi Yu, so he had to seize the opportunity.

However, some big merchants seem to be a little unwilling, because they have to pay part of their income to the association.

And this time, Sun Zhongmou said that a time must be set, and the validity must expire within a few days.

If you want to join again, you may have to pay some other fees in addition to the membership fee.

Of course, some people must be hesitant, so this is the first batch to pay.

If the second batch, maybe wait another year, and at the same time, it can also attract merchants from other places to come here.

Ouyang Fu said: "Mr. Sun, you have a good idea, but if merchants from other places keep pouring in, wouldn't it crowd out the business here?"

Ouyang Fu nodded.

"What you said makes sense, so we need to make some rules."

The two of them ran down for a full day, exhausted and exhausted.

Sun Zhongmou's final decision was within five days. If he did not join the club within five days, he would have to pay more if he wanted to join later, or wait until the next year.

By evening, arrangements had been made in the other courtyard.Tables, chairs, and beds were provided. After all, Ouyang Fu had done business, so the arrangements were very appropriate.

In the evening, Sun Zhongmou came to Xi Yu specifically and reported to him the affairs of the other courtyard.

Xi Yu was also very satisfied after hearing this, so Sun Zhongmou decided to ask Xi Yu to check it out the next day.

"Okay, then I'll take a look tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, when Xi Yu was about to leave, suddenly, Lu Su arrived in a hurry.

"Zijing, why are you sweating profusely so early in the morning?"

Lu Su said that he heard that Sun Quan was coming and hoped to meet him.

In fact, I heard about it yesterday, but I dare not meet in private, afraid that Xi Yu will be jealous.

Xi Yu laughed out loud.

"Why is it so difficult? If that's the case, then follow me to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce."

Lu Su was taken aback for a second.

"What, the business association headquarters?"

"Disrespectful, it seems that you are always running about the academy and don't know what's going on here."

So, I explained the relevant situation to him.

Lu Su then admired Xi Yu even more, this is really a person who does great things.

When he came to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce, Xi Yu was also very satisfied. He said that it would officially open in five days, and that there would be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at that time, and then he would also send people to perform singing and dancing.

All these things are done by Sun Zhongmou.

"Player, don't worry, the subordinates will do their best to handle this matter well."

Only at this time did Sun Zhongmou have the opportunity to talk to Lu Su.

Xi Yu said, "You guys should find a room and talk alone."

The two people came to the room, and Lu Su felt very cordial.

But he was a little puzzled, why did Sun Zhongmou come here to handle this matter?
Xi Yu's subordinates are naturally full of talents, and they are fully capable of taking on this important task.

Sun Zhongmou told the relevant situation.

"So that's what happened, then we can take care of each other from now on."

And Sun Zhongmou was also curious about the affairs of this college, so he asked Lu Su to talk about it in general.

Lu Su said that the location has been negotiated anyway, and the house is being built now.

Sun Zhongmou stroked the beard on his chin and murmured, "You are really a man of great career."

On the other side, Fang County.

Fang Zhongyuan started to look for the old doctor.

The old man is neither in the Central Plains nor in Fang County, but on an isolated island in the south.

In fact, Fang Zhongyuan was not sure if he could find this old doctor.

It is said that his whereabouts are erratic, and I hope he will have good luck this time.

He rode on a swift horse and set out in search of many gifts.

It takes at least three days to travel from Fangjun to the destination.

Before setting off, he knelt on the ground and prayed to all kinds of gods, hoping that this time things would be successful.

He has been loyal and patriotic since he was a child, and believes that the royal family is sacred and inviolable.

Even if Mao Dacheng did something wrong, it can be changed by the advice or influence of the officials.

But if he overthrows his rule hastily, it is treason and a villain.

Although he had heard of Xi Yu's name before and didn't know much about it, now he thinks that Xi Yu is a robber.

It's a pity that this time the trip was quite unsatisfactory.

It suddenly started raining heavily during the journey, so he had no choice but to take shelter with his horse in an inn.

Inside the house, he felt particularly depressed, he had already worshiped the gods, but the gods didn't even bless him.

But what can I do about God’s problem?
I just have to keep it obediently.

After a while, he borrowed an umbrella from the counter and went to the toilet.

Passing by a room unintentionally, I heard two people whispering inside.

Naturally, he didn't want to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but the content of the other person's conversations still kept attracting his ears.

"I heard that there are so many masters around Xi Yu, and there are some hidden guards. It is probably impossible to assassinate him."

He was taken aback for a moment, someone wanted to kill Xi Yu.

Isn't this a good thing for yourself?

Although the other party is a stranger, they have a common goal.

If you can really kill Xi Yu, it's okay, then you don't have to look for the old doctor.

Then, another voice appeared in the room.

"But no matter what, I'm going to give it a try. Even if I don't succeed, I'll be kind. Why, you don't want to back down, do you?"

"No, how can you understand me like this? I just think we need to find a surefire solution."

"There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Just do things according to the original plan."

The voices of the two seem to be very young.

He also carefully looked at the number of this room, and then hurried to the toilet.

When he came back, he also consciously approached this room, and tiptoed.

But there is no talk about it inside.

He suddenly felt a little grateful for the heavy rain, which allowed him to learn some better things.

When he returned to the room, he was thinking about the identities of these two people.

Can they really assassinate Xi Yu?

By the next morning, the rain had stopped.

He deliberately came to the door of the room, wanting to see who these two people were.

Anyway, it is impossible for them to keep the cat out of the room.

At least, they have to eat.

Sure enough, after a while, as the door rang, two handsome men came out.

And the appearance is very similar, probably two brothers.

And he consciously wants to get closer to the other party.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, are you from the Jia family?"

He made up a random name just to open up the topic.

The two were stunned.

One of them said: "You are mistaken, we are not".

Fang Zhongyuan asked again: "Really? But he really looks very similar to the two young masters of the Jia family. Where are they from?"

The man said coldly, "Where did we come from, and what is our relationship with it?"

Another said, "Brother, aren't we being too rude?"

"Okay, don't worry about too many things, let's go eat quickly."

Since the elder brother said so.

The younger brother stopped talking.

But he smiled at Fang Zhongyuan and signaled not to take what he just said to heart.

Fang Zhongyuan thought to himself, this brother's mouth is so strict, it is impossible to find out who he is.

So should I follow quietly?
After thinking about it later, I decided to forget it and go ahead with the original plan.

Let’s talk about it after finding the old doctor.

Even if they really succeeded in committing suicide, Xi Yu still had to do their own things, which was called a two-pronged approach.

So he suddenly felt that he was a little too worried.

And when the weather is clear, we can go on the road immediately.

On this day, in Youzhou, several wealthy businessmen had a meeting together.

"How? Are you really planning to join the association?"

"Yes, we believe that the actor is a man of his word, but we still have to hand over our income."

"Are you stupid? How much do we earn? How can his people know, so it's not up to us to decide how much to pay?"

The eyes of several merchants lit up, but it was the case, and they could cheat at that time.

Yes, their worries are too much.

"So we can play tricks, and it is said that after joining the Chamber of Commerce, didn't he say that it will bring us more benefits? Maybe our business will get better and better."

So after the discussion, those who were a little hesitant before became happy now.

"Okay, now that you've said that, let's sign up tomorrow, because it will officially open the day after tomorrow."

Sure enough, on the second day, merchants, large and small, went to sign up, and there were more than 200 of them. They paid membership fees and issued certificates one after another.

At the same time, it is stipulated that you can withdraw from the membership at any time, and you must hand in the certificate at that time, but the membership fee will not be refunded, but there is a condition. Once you withdraw from the membership and want to join again, it will probably never be possible.

When signing up, Sun Zhongmou was at the scene, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know more about the business.

Many businesses whisper that they can make a killing by hiding their income.

The merchant who proposed this opportunistic plan was in the silk business.

His name is Liao Youcai, and he is indeed talented, so people talk behind his back about how shrewd he is.

He has many branches, and now he goes to each branch and tells the person in charge that future income must be reported less.If you want to let yourself join the association, you have to make a lot of money.

It was impossible to deduct money from him, so these responsible persons naturally agreed to his request.

Now we are just waiting for the opening the next day.

On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was officially held today.

Although there are many ordinary people who have nothing to do with the business association, they also came here just to have a look.

And several restaurants are also very happy because the business association has reserved tables here today.

According to the procedures, Xi Yu gave a speech first, and then he and Sun Zhongmou jointly unveiled the plaque.

As for this refreshing unveiling ceremony, it was indeed the first time for many people to see it, and they felt it was even more novel.

Sun Zhongmou was also thinking about where Xi Yu came up with these ghostly ideas.

Firecrackers and fireworks were also set off at the scene, making it a lively scene.

And many people who joined the association have already been seated in order.

They all also swore in accordance with Xi Yu's regulations, never to reveal secrets, but to be loyal to the development of the association throughout their lives.

You must not do anything in the name of the association that is detrimental to the association.

In particular, many small merchants are full of enthusiasm. They look forward to joining the association and using the power of the association to make themselves bigger.

Some large merchants look down on these small merchants, thinking that they are just whimsical.

Xi Yu also told them that they must unite in the future. No matter how big your property is, no matter how rich you are or how big your store is, from today onwards we are all brothers.

At this time, a woman immediately interrupted Xi Yu's words.

"They are still sisters."

Xi Yu smiled, this is a strong woman in the ceramics business, because her husband passed away very early, she supported herself for almost half a day.

"Yes, what Miss Liu said just now is quite correct."

The woman surnamed Liu did not expect Xi Yu to remember her own name.

She immediately said that Xi Yu called herself a big sister, but she really didn't dare to call herself a big sister.

Xi Yu said, "Didn't I already say that? Today, everyone here is brothers and sisters, and everyone is equal."

And Sun Zhongmou also mentioned that he is a foreigner after all, and he will rely on everyone's cooperation in the future. Everyone has one goal, which is to make the association bigger and stronger.

And not only in Youzhou, but also in other places in the future, opera players will also establish various business organizations there.

After the two had finished speaking, the merchant representative was also responsible for the speech.

In short, the entire opening ceremony was very formal and lively.

It was almost time for lunch, and the merchants thought that the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Xi Yu said that there was still a procedure, and he needed to make some supplementary explanations.

And this is what everyone cares about.

Many people suddenly became curious.Hasn't he and Sun Zhongmou finished all that should be said in the speech?

What more can I say now?

Xi Yu said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry. What I said this time is very simple, and it is also related to everyone's vital interests."

So, everyone had to continue to stay.

"This time I'm talking about the turnover you hand over every month." (End of this chapter)
