Bai Shen understands that Juren is a celebrity in Zengcheng County.

There is no doubt about that. For a small place in the Ming Dynasty, Juren was naturally the local "hometown", a member of the upper class, and a well-deserved ruling class.

The ruling class is not for nothing. Fan Jin was moved, and Squire Zhang, who came to congratulate him, made a move of fifty taels of silver and a large house with three entrances and three rooms on Dongmen Street, and then there was an endless stream of people who came to deliver the fields and shops...... This was still the case in the Qing Dynasty, where the gentry power was severely suppressed, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, where the gentry power was so arrogant.

The family business of Zengcheng Baiju people is also developed.

At the beginning, the Bai family was just an ancestral grocery store in the county, and it was a middle-class family. Theoretically speaking, Bai Shaodong, who was still very young at the time, will just inherit the grocery store in the future and change from a young owner to an old owner.

However, Bai Shaodong's talent is extraordinary, although his skills are not high, but he is a competition-type player in the scientific examination, and he played well in the battle.

After that, Bai Shaodong's family failed to become a jinshi, but this did not prevent the Bai family from upgrading in Zengcheng County overnight and becoming an enviable rich and noble family.

After making a move, Comrade Bai Shenming first went to Jiangxi to serve as a county magistrate. After that, he was going to change officials, but due to the attack of intestinal carbuncle (chronic appendicitis) on the old Bai family, he finally died, so Bai Lao returned to his hometown to guard the system for three years and took care of the family business by the way.

However, with this system, Grandpa Bai gradually extinguished his mind of being an official - he can't be a big official, and he is just a few idle officials in small counties, and it is not his turn to be corrupt.

After that, Mr. Bai stayed in his hometown to develop the industry with peace of mind. More than ten years have passed now, Young Master Bai has become a middle-aged old man, with his dedication to business, the Bai family not only has a farm tenant in the countryside, but also Bai Ji groceries have developed from the original single store to a powerful chain enterprise in Zengcheng area, and has become a big household in the real sense, "cultivating and reading people".

But the good thing is that although Master Bai's family business is inflated and his social status is high, after so many years, he still maintains the approachable style of the grocery store and the young owner, which makes Shopkeeper Wu not too cramped after seeing the master today.

"Brother Qianshan, this trip into the mountains has been hard."

After serving tea in the study room where he entertained intimate guests, Master Bai said to Shopkeeper Wu with a smile.

"Lao Dongjia is always used to running, not hard or hard."

"Alas, now that you are old brother, when you know about maintenance and any errands to go out, let go and let the guys do it. After all, these things must be handed over to future generations. ”

Although the relationship between the guest and the host has been maintained well, but now that Master Bai is facing the shopkeeper Wu, he is becoming more and more polite.

This is also the meaning of the question. Since the last time the shopkeeper Wu got in touch with the General Military Mansion due to a blessing in disguise, Master Bai's attitude towards him has been upgraded from the previous old subordinate/old retainer to the position of close comrade-in-arms/partner.

This kind of attention is not because of the increase in the amount of shares of Shopkeeper Wu in Bai Ji Grocery - the Bai family has a big business, and these shares are nothing.

What attracted the attention of Bai Ju people was the line between the shopkeeper Wu and the General Military Mansion.

Although the Bai family has also purchased land in the countryside over the years, at the same time, Bai Juren still puts a lot of energy into business.

However, in the past two years, due to the deterioration of the social environment, Bai Kee groceries have also suffered from pressure, the channel is not smooth, the sales are not prosperous, and the business has deteriorated. This kind of situation of the overall situation is corrupted, Bai Juren is naturally helpless, every time he thinks about this matter, he always sighs for a long time, and in the end he can only order the shopkeeper Wu to make ends meet.

No, in the middle of last year, things took a turn for the better: due to the successive battles off the coast of Guangzhou, Bai Juren collected some information about Cao Zongbing and Yizhou.

The behavior pattern of the Baiju people from the few owners of the grocery store is naturally different from those of the traditional gentry. Not only was he very interested in this information, he did not hesitate to spend money to find out in many ways, and finally he even took the risk of going to Yizhou himself.

Since Bai Juren came back from Yizhou, he has completely changed his appearance: every once in a while, he will run to Guangzhou, not only buying a house in the city of Guangzhou, but also paying close attention to the every move of certain forces.

Later, at a bidding meeting that ordinary people didn't know at all, due to the advanced business vision and sufficient information, Bai Juren still gritted his teeth and made a heavy bet when the financial resources were not very sufficient, and he was able to defeat the rest of the wealthy businessmen who still had a wait-and-see mood, and bid for 7 kinds of Yizhou groceries in Zengcheng County in one fell swoop.

After that, there is the resurrection of Bai Ji groceries and the stories of Wu's shopkeeper encountering bandits.

After going through so much, to this day, it can be said that Bai Juren is interested in things about Cao Zongbing and Yizhou.

It's not just business reasons...... The factory assembly line in Yizhou had too much ideological impact on Bai Juren at the beginning.

Bai Juren, who is familiar with history books, does not look like Cao Zongbing has been engraved on his back to serve the country with loyalty, so no matter how many resources he is willing to pay now, just to have even a little relationship with the traversing people - in the southern country where the emperor is far away, it is only right to plan for everything in advance, he is a businessman thinking, and there is no ideological drag of "the world is favored by the emperor".

This is the deep-seated reason why Bai Juren is now ignoring his identity and calling him a brother and brother to the shopkeeper Wu, but he is not an outsider. Shopkeeper Wu has registered on the side of the General Soldier's Mansion, and he belongs to a friendly person who can talk to others, and now that Shopkeeper Wu is settled, sooner or later one day in the future, this line will be widened and bring more huge benefits to the Bai family.

"Brother Qianshan, don't go to the counter these days, rest at home and make up for the year. Looking back and waiting for the end of the year, we still have a big thing to do. ”

Master Bai and Shopkeeper Wu talked for half a cup of tea, and when the time was almost up, he said the next work arrangement.

As soon as the shopkeeper Wu heard that there was a big event, the professional habits he had developed over the years suddenly made him enter the work state: "Oh, big things? Dare to ask the owner, what is the big deal, should we make some preparations? ”

"Hehe, there's nothing to prepare." AT THIS TIME, BAI JUREN TOOK TWO WHITE CIGARETTES FROM THE PLAIN PLATE ON THE SIDE, HANDED ONE TO THE SHOPKEEPER, AND SKILLFULLY LIT THE FIRE WITH A STERLING SILVER ZIPPO: "OUTSIDE THE CITY, THERE WILL BE A MASTER OF THE GENERAL MILITARY MANSION TO COME TO SEE THE STONE, LET'S GREET HIM." You can talk to that side, and you go to get closer to people...... There are a lot of people staring at this matter, and the county magistrate is said to be hot-eyed, so our family can't be left behind. ”
