Chapter 21

Chapter 21: It's annoying

Traditional Chinese academies, that is, private people, do not teach knowledge such as arithmetic, physics, chemistry, etc. Only those Western schools can learn these foreign knowledge.

"This is learned from the foreign monks at the foot of the mountain." Wang Jin smiled, naturally he would not say the real flowers. Anyway, there are really many foreign monks in this era.

Sure enough, Li Yutian's expression did not change much, and there was nothing unreasonable. Hubei's Western Affairs Bureau was very early. When Zeng Guofan was in charge of Hubei, he recruited a large number of students who were proficient in Western learning, and even opened a foreign school that specialized in teaching Western learning. However, it was really not easy to meet someone who knew arithmetic. He asked curiously: "What else have you learned besides arithmetic?"

This guy is really curious, and Wang Jin patiently fooled him: "I didn't learn anything. As long as I have time, I will learn whatever the foreign monk teaches, and I don't know what skills are."

Master Li was interested and moved the stool and sat next to him, holding his finger and asked, "Have you learned all the subjects of physics, chemistry, and foreign literature?"

Wang Jin asked replies without answering: "What are you learning for?"

Li Yutian smiled slightly and said to himself: I think so, even eating is a problem, so how can I still have the intention to learn these things?

Since he couldn't ask any topics of interest, he no longer had the interest to continue and waved his hand boredly: "Then you do these accounts, just show me if you do them." He was not interested in this, and he had no interest in these boring numbers and this ancestral shop, because his ambition was even greater!

While the two were talking, the door of the backyard was knocked on.

Wang Jin immediately stood up, put the account book away and walked out of the house. He shouted loudly as he walked: "Two orders and two orders, go and open the door quickly and see who is coming."

Ersan, who was resting in the next room, agreed and hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the backyard gate.

Li Yutian was also a little confused. He didn't know who would come to the door so late? He was about to go out and take a look, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Wang Jin: "Young master, wait here first, wait for me to go and see first. The boss is not at home so late. Who knows if he is a scoundrel? He is prepared in his heart. If he is not afraid of ten thousand, he is afraid of something."

Master Li's face turned pale in an instant. He looked at Wang Jin who was turning away at a loss, his lips trembling and did not dare to hum... Wang Jin took a short stick at the door, but his expression was not as nervous as he was just a precaution. There were not many people coming to the door so late, and he knew that Li Fugui was knocking on the door in the middle of the night. He either had a ghost in his heart or was unkind, so he could handle it carefully.

After a while, Erdan hurriedly walked back, and behind him was a middle-aged thin man in a green robe. His steps were steady and his eyes were clear and vivid, and he looked very smart and capable. He looked like he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Erdan looked a little panicked. When he saw Wang Jin, he hurriedly walked up to him and whispered in a low voice: "Brother Jin, he is the representative sent by the big grain merchants!"

"What, the representative sent by the big grain merchant?" Wang Jin exclaimed in a low voice.

"This little brother, is Mr. Li Yutian and Young Master Li at home? On behalf of the major grain merchants in Anqing, I want to talk to him." The thin middle-aged man walked up, squinted his eyes and smiled.

"You go back to your room to rest, I'll come to entertain guests." Wang Jin first sent the second single away, then smiled at the thin middle-aged man and gave a gift, threw away the short stick in his hand, made a gesture of invitation and led the way in front.

The middle-aged man glanced at the short stick thrown to the ground, his eyes were filled with smiles, and he walked slowly towards the study.

Master Li also recalled his calmness at this time. The most important thing was that there was no fighting sound outside, which made him feel much more at ease. Seeing Wang Jin walking in with a strange guide, he stood up and greeted him and asked in a low voice: "Wang Jin, this is..."

Without waiting for Wang Jin to explain, the thin middle-aged man stood up first and introduced himself with a smile: "Master Li, I am the manager of Mr. Qian's family. Tonight, I specially followed the orders of our master and several big bosses to come and talk to Mr. Li about food transactions. Please don't blame me for being abrupt."

"Master Qian, who is Master Qian?" Li Yutian asked in surprise, but he didn't care about anything else.

"Anqing, a big grain merchant." Wang Jin whispered that Young Master Li's face changed drastically. His eyes looked at the Qian family manager with a much warmer look, and he hurriedly invited him to take his seat.

The Qian family manager was not polite, and he quickly got to the point after sitting down.

"I came here this time because I was commissioned by several large grain merchants, including my Qian family, and wanted to talk to Mr. Li about buying and selling grain."

Li Yutian didn't understand, but Wang Jin, who was standing by, changed his face. He didn't care whether he would be overwhelming or not. When it comes to his own interests, he didn't have the calm determination. He put away the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice: "What does money management mean? Do we want us to stop selling food to the outside world?"

Young Master Li shook his body, anger surged in his chest, and he clenched his fists and stared at Manager Qian. Although he didn't want to take over the family's business, he also understood that everything in front of him was provided by Li Ji Mipu, and he could not tolerate others suppressing his own interests. No matter how powerful the surname Qian was, he would not be able to do so.

Manager Qian looked at Wang Jin curiously, and shook his head without getting angry and said indifferently: "No, the bosses have not yet become domineering, they are all businessmen. Just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that you can't let your Li family rice shop break the rules. This is the bottom line of the bosses." Manager Qian's expression became cold and stern.

The atmosphere in the study suddenly condensed, as if a big stone was pressed on the mouth of the heart.

Mr. Li had never experienced such a scene. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Wang Jin reached out to his hand. No matter what, he understood more than Mr. Li, so he could say anything better. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the money manager. Seeing that the other party was not concerned, he sneered and said: "What does it mean to break the rules? Don't think that if Boss Li goes out far, we don't know anything. The food price in Anqing City has not fallen!"

"Haha, my little brother is indeed a sensible person!" Manager Qian stood up and laughed. Just as Wang Jin and his two were in a gift, his face suddenly changed and he said coldly: "You can sell rice, you can sell Chen rice with a warehouse, but you can't sell new rice. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what's wrong?" Young Master Li asked angrily with his neck in his arms.

"Hmph, otherwise, Lijia rice shop will wait for the joint attack from all the rice merchants in Anqing!"

A sharp light flashed in Wang Jin's eyes and he said intimately that he was so brave and powerful! However, this matter had little to do with him, and he didn't take the threat of money to manage affairs in his heart, so he couldn't do it.

Mr. Li was so angry that his face turned pale and his whole body was trembling, but his back was instantly wet with cold sweat.
