Yang Zhi, who was already half drunk, was overjoyed at first, but then quickly shook his head: "No, that's a thousand guan, Sun Dutou..." He didn't say the next words, but the meaning was already very clear. After failing to sell the knife these days, he already regretted the price he had quoted, knowing that almost no one in Tokyo was willing to pay such a large amount of money for just one knife.
But Sun Tu laughed: "Brother Yang, do you think I can't come up with the money? Or are you afraid that I'm too reluctant?"
"Yang appreciates your kindness, but it is not easy for you to get money in the officialdom, but you spend a lot of time. There is really no need to spend a lot of money to buy a knife..." Yang Zhi still has his own persistence.
Sun Tu did not argue with him anymore, but stood up, walked to the counter, and said a few words to the shopkeeper Wu Li. Although the latter looked surprised, he still followed his instructions, called a waiter and whispered a few instructions, then took out a wooden box from the cabinet under the counter and handed it to Sun Tu.
Sun Tu thanked him, then returned to the table, opened the wooden box and showed it to Yang Zhi: "Here are two hundred taels of silver, and later the shop assistant will bring 300 taels of silver from the nearby bank. So you should believe that I am not actually worried about money, right?"
Silver was not widely circulated among the people in the Song Dynasty, but compared to the larger and heavier copper coins, some merchants still used silver when conducting large transactions. The banks opened in major cities and towns across the world are businesses that provide silver and copper coin exchange services and storage services to these customers.
Looking at the shiny box of silver in front of him, Yang Zhi looked at Sun Tu again in surprise: "Sun Dutou, are you the queen of a famous family?" But then he denied this conjecture. If Sun Tu is really a son of an official, How could it be possible to become the head of a lowly Kaifeng Prefecture
Sun Tu also shook his head as expected: "I just happened to have a relationship with a rich man and ran this restaurant with him. However, in the past six months, I have never received my share of bonuses. Today is just Just collect them together."
Only then did Yang Zhi understand, but he was still very surprised. He looked at Sun Tu carefully for a while: "It seems that a thousand strings is not a difficult task for Sun Tutou?"
Sun Tu just smiled and did not answer. Instead, after filling the other party's glass, he said: "I'm curious about one thing. If Brother Yang really got this thousand strings, how do you plan to spend it? Do you want to spend it again? Will you use this money to buy Captain Gao?"
Yang Zhi was stunned by his question. He really hadn't thought carefully about what was going to happen next. Before, he had just taken a step and looked at it. Seeing that he was stunned, Sun Tu said again: "In my humble opinion, if you ask Taiwei Gao again, the result will not change. The final result will only be that all the money is spent, but your crime may not be He will be dismissed, let alone regain his official position."
If Sun Tu had spoken like this before, Yang Zhi wouldn't have taken it too seriously. But now, this young man's status in his mind has improved a lot, which makes him start to be cautious about what he says: "How do you say this?"
"Firstly, as Captain Gao, he may not take this mere thousand guan of money to heart; secondly, he has already expressed his attitude before, and he will not repeat it even for his own sake; thirdly, Brother Yang If this lawsuit is really made clear and there are indeed some consequences, it is impossible for him to take the risk of being dissatisfied by the officials for you."
"This... what should I do?" Yang Zhi was immediately confused. He was not a fool. After Sun Tu analyzed it, he found that this road was indeed blocked.
Sun Tu picked up a chopstick and chewed it slowly for a moment before swallowing it, and then said: "So you must change the court, and asking other high-ranking officials in the court to protect you is the best way."
"Is this easier said than done?" Yang Zhi's face was full of bitterness. A military attaché like him was not popular in the court, let alone one who was still on the run after making a big mistake. So the reason why he came to Gao Qiu's door was because he was once his old boss. He felt that he had a romantic relationship that he could use. However, other senior officials didn't recognize Yang Zhi at all, so how could they help him
Sun Tu saw the worry in his heart and said: "If Brother Yang really trusts me, I will help you handle this matter. Of course, you will keep the money and other things yourself. After the matter is completed, we will not worry about it anymore." Late."
"Are you... really willing to help me?" Yang Zhi was so excited that he almost stood up, his voice trembling. In fact, he has suffered too much in the past six months, and his mood has been ups and downs. He really hopes for a good result.
"Although I, Sun Tu, am not a big shot, I still have to keep my word. Since I promised Brother Yang, I should do it." Sun Tu said, raising his wine glass.
Yang Zhi hurriedly held the cup with both hands and clinked it: "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If Sun Dutou can really help Yang overcome this difficulty, I, Yang Zhi, will never forget it in my life!"
Just after the two of them drank the wine in their glasses, Wu Li came over with a baggage and said respectfully to Sun Tu: "Officer, here are three hundred taels of silver. The total of the two is five hundred taels, which is exactly what you need." There’s quite a lot of money on the shelf.”
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu. You can go and do your work." Sun Tu thanked him, took the baggage, and handed the bag of silver weighing more than ten kilograms to Yang Zhi's hand: "Brother Yang, please count the number first. By the way, If you don't mind, just call me Saburo."
"Okay. I can still trust Sanlang as a person, so there's no need to count." Yang Zhi said and put the wooden box full of silver into the package, and then moved the sword at hand: " Give this knife to Saburo now."
"Don't worry, I still haven't given you half of the silver." Sun Tu smiled and shook his head and said, "Brother Yang, please follow me elsewhere and get the remaining five hundred taels of silver for you."
"Okay." Yang Zhi relaxed at this time. Anyway, he already owed the other party a huge favor. He didn't even mention the price difference that one tael of silver can actually exchange for one thousand two or three hundred copper coins. He just put the price in front of him. After finishing all the food and drinks, he followed Sun Tu out of the restaurant.
After the two of them walked along the market for a while, Sun Tu stopped in front of a shop with a sign of "Qinxiangzhai". After several customers inside happily bought things and left, they walked in. Go to the store: "Boss Zhou, business is booming recently!"
"It turns out that Sun Tutou is here. Please hurry up and take your seat." The merchant who was putting the money from the sale into the cabinet immediately smiled until his eyes turned into slits when he saw Sun Tu. He and Yang Zhirang went inside and ordered the waiter to serve tea soup for them, appearing quite enthusiastic.
After exchanging a few words and taking another sip of the complex-tasting tea soup, Boss Zhou said expectantly: "You are willing to come, Dutou. If you don't come over today, I would even think of taking the liberty of asking for a visit." , please prepare some more of those goods for the shop."
"Why, can those liquids used for bathing and shampooing be sold?" Sun Tu asked with a faint smile.
"Not only that, now people come to our door every day asking about the liquid medicine. The jars you prepared for us before are almost empty." With that, Boss Zhou stood up and took out a wooden box from the counter. , pushed it to Sun Tu: "Here is the profit agreed before, two hundred and thirty taels of silver, please nod and accept it."
Yang Zhi was filled with surprise again. He could understand that Sun Tu could earn 500 taels of silver in half a year by cooperating with others in the restaurant. After all, he also knew that Liufangju's business had always been excellent, and he was making money every day. . But now a small shop specializing in powder and rouge can actually make Sun Tu a profit of two hundred taels. Isn't this business easy to do
He didn't know what kind of business Sun Tu was doing here. They were various daily chemical products that he took out from Warehouse No. 8 of the newly opened Jiezhongjie Warehouse System. That's right, those are shampoos, shower gels and other cleaning supplies that were very common in later generations.
As he continued to handle cases in the past few months, Sun Tu not only earned the title of Iron-faced Yama, but also raised his level in the Jiezhongjie system again, and finally opened a new warehouse No. 8. Of course, Sun Tu sometimes feels strange. Although he is almost a household name in Tokyo City in terms of reputation, why has his level in the system only been raised by one level? It would have been based on the previous results in Yuncheng County. Yes, it’s time to open a dozen or twenty warehouses anyway.
If the experience required for upgrading the system does not increase exponentially as the system is upgraded, the only explanation can only be that what the system really calculates is the identity of the host. After all, Sun Tu has always been a ninth-grade military attache during this period, and he has not even changed his mission. He is still the head of the Kaifeng Mansion.
However, Sun Tu didn't get too entangled in this. He simply took out the daily chemical products, put them into common bottles and jars today, and got them on consignment from several stores specializing in rouge and gouache.
The so-called consignment means that the owner of the goods gives away the profit from his goods because he does not have a store and then gives them to the store to help sell them. Sun Tu's profit from opening a few makeup stores this time was really not low. A small bottle of shampoo was priced at 2 yuan, but he was willing to give the other party 500 yuan. This is a higher profit than the store's profit from selling his own goods. .
Because they are profitable, these stores try their best to recommend these never-before-seen "shower lotions" to their regular customers. And when those women with good backgrounds tried the body wash products from a thousand years ago at home, they immediately fell in love with the smooth and dry feeling, and they no longer looked down upon the cardamom products of today.
The city of Tokyo was originally the capital of the Song Dynasty, which gathered the wealth of the world. Naturally, the ladies in the city had to catch up with the news. Once word spread, these body wash liquids immediately became the most popular powder in the city this year. After all, the scent of these shower gels and shampoos It's better than ordinary rouge. In the end, even the major courtesans in the city used them.
As a result, the inventory of several stores was quickly sold, and all the large jars of body wash liquid that Sun Tu had saved were snapped up. When Boss Zhou meets Sun Tu now, it's like meeting the God of Wealth.
It can be said that although Sun Tu is still a ninth-grade military attache now, his wealth is already extremely rich. He can make hundreds of dollars a day just by selling bath products. That's why he dared to agree to buy Yang Zhi's ancestral sword worth thousands of dollars.
