As if he had seen mountains of gold and silver flashing in front of him, the businessman of Qi State's eyes flickered, looked at the little official, and asked, "Brother Nie, look, can I also rent a shop here..."
"First come, first served, you can make a reservation after paying a deposit." The clerk looked at him and said, "Today is fine, but after a while, there may be no more seats."
The businessman from Qi State immediately said: "Thank you Brother Nie, where to pay the deposit, I will go now!"
The housekeeper waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, it's all about good policy..."
The businessman from Qi State shook his head again and again: "If it wasn't for you, Big Brother Nie, I would already be on my way to the capital right now. How could I have encountered such a good thing? After paying the deposit, I would like to thank you very much!"
This month's performance is still a few short, the housekeeper thought for a while, and said: "If you really want to thank me, just introduce me to some more of your business friends..."
…
After paying the deposit and coming out of the registration place of the yamen, the businessman of Qi State respectfully saluted the little official again, and said seriously: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. If Brother Nie needs me in any place in the future, feel free to ask me. I will definitely not refuse!"
"You're welcome..." The little official waved his hand and said, "Don't you want to buy cloth? I'll take you to the cloth shop. It is said that the cloth shop in Kyoto is the same as ours in Shuzhou. You can take a look before you talk..."
The businessman of Qi State cupped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'm going to trouble Brother Nie again..."
As soon as the words fell, there was a voice of arguing in the ear.
"That's obviously my guest, how dare you fight with me!"
"What is your guest, who made you walk so slowly?"
"You have enough performance this month, can't you give me one?"
"Who would have trouble with money?"
…
The businessman from the State of Qi saw the two yamen servants pulling each other into the yamen, looked at the little official at the side, and asked, "Brother Nie, this is..."
The little official waved his hand and said, "Leave them alone, let's go our way..."
Although it is the slack season, the people of Yong County are living a fulfilling life these days.
Every day before dawn, some strong men from the same village go to Zhoucheng to build a house in groups of five or ten. They will take care of a meal at noon. Text, end of day.
Planting crops can’t cost twenty yuan a day. They have no other skills, but they don’t lack strength. They earn twenty yuan a day, and they can be ruthless every few days. open meat...
Wu Laosan is one of these people.
The reason why he is called the third child of Wu is because he is the third child in his family. There are two older brothers in front of him. One died shortly after birth, and the other was killed by bandits more than ten years ago. He is the only one left in the old Wu family. .
Thinking of this incident, he felt a little pity in his heart.
The second brother was unlucky to die early, otherwise, he would be able to see the scene of a world without thieves.
It’s better for His Royal Highness King Jing, who did such a great practical thing for the people of Shuzhou, but he was not very accurate in judging people, so he found a governor with a mental illness, built shops at the gate of the city, and built a circle around them...
But when I think about it, if the governor's mind is normal, how can he earn twenty yuan a day, and how can he have spare money to buy Xu Fuji's candied fruit for his mother-in-law...
So, I found a governor with a sick mind—it would be better for His Royal Highness King Jing!
Speaking of her mother-in-law, she has been with me for so long, and she has never enjoyed any blessings. When the family can't get rid of the pot, she still weaves to make money to supplement the family. It's really hard for her...
He took out the candied fruit that he bought for ten Wen today, pushed open the door, and said loudly, "Mother, I'm back!"
A woman came out of the room and said, "I'm back, come in quickly, I'll cook right away."
Wu Laosan walked in, frowned and asked, "What did you do today, and why do you cook?"
The woman said in a low voice: "Today the cloth shop in the city is recruiting people, so I asked my third aunt to accompany me to have a look..."
"The cloth shop is recruiting, what are you going to do?" Wu Laosan frowned and said, "You are a woman, don't stay at home well, don't go out and run around all day!"
He threw a paper bag on the table and said: "For making money, we men can do it. Can you women earn twenty Wen a day? This is the candied fruit I bought for you from Xu Fuji today. Try it. If you like it, I will buy it for you in a few days..."
"I see..." the woman whispered as she opened the paper bag.
Wu Laosan took a cold steamed bun and gnawed on it by himself, and asked casually, "By the way, how much does the cloth shop you mentioned give you a day?"
"Three hundred words."
Wu Laosan took a bite of the steamed bun, his face froze, looked at him, and asked in a vague voice, "How much, three pennies?"
The woman took a mouthful of candied fruit and said in a low voice: "Others are thirty yuan. I showed them the cloth I wove before. They said that I weaved well and the flowers I wove were beautiful. Let me teach those If someone weaves, give me three hundred cash a day."
Wu Laosan was stunned for a while, grabbed the kettle and poured it vigorously, finally swallowed the choked steamed buns, put down the kettle, slammed the table, and said loudly: "You said that you are a woman, and you stay here all day. Isn't it boring at home, I still have to go out and see more if I have the chance... Where is the cloth shop you mentioned, take me to see it tomorrow... "
"They only recruit women..."
"..."
"Don't I know that they only recruit women?" Wu Laosan looked at her and said solemnly, "I'm here to check for you to see if they are deceiving people. You women are the easiest to be deceived..."
"No, that's the workshop of Prince Jing's Mansion, I won't lie..."
Wu Laosan looked at her, then at the paper bag in her hand, put the cold steamed bun aside, pursed his lips, and said, "Come on, let me taste a piece of candied fruit..."
…
place of chaos.
Fang Yu put down a piece of paper and said, "Building a shop, what is this Li Yi doing?"
He looked back at the man in purple and asked, "Is the news true?"
The man in purple nodded and said, "I have already asked the local people. They are going to build a shopping mall there. It is said that it will open a few years ago..."
The envoys of Shengjiao in charge of Shuzhou have all lost contact, which also means that they cannot contact the believers in Shuzhou. If they want to obtain information, they can only get through the local people.
Fang Yu frowned, and murmured, "Why is it the West Gate..."
"You are stupid. Of the four city gates, east, west, north, south, only the west gate is the most useless. It is closed all year round. If you don't choose the west gate, why not choose the other three?" The king of Shu walked over, looked at him, and said: " You may not know that the most powerful thing about Li Yi is not governing the country, but doing business. He should make a good fortune during the New Year's Eve. Those businessmen from all over the world, he also tried to stay in Shuzhou … "
Fang Yu shook his head, "I'm just worried..."
"There's nothing to worry about." The King of Shu shook his head and said, "There are 3,000 soldiers stationed in Shu Prefecture, and Yong County can mobilize at most 2,000 soldiers. They are also a group of stragglers. There is nothing to fear. As long as your people can open the city gate, no one can stop us."
"I know that." Fang Yu shook his head and said, "It's just... it's better to be careful."
The king of Shu shook his head, but his face showed excitement, and said, "I think it's best to wait until the Lantern Festival is over. When he earns enough money, he can slaughter a fat sheep..."
