Chapter 119: Bad News

Coming to Funing Building, Wanfu, who had been prepared for a long time, beckoned everyone to take a seat, Zhao Yuan sat at a table with several uncles of Zhaojiazhuang and several bosses in the bazaar, as well as Meng's father, and the others found their own seats to sit down, and there were some dried fruit snacks and tea on the dining table.

"Brother Zhao, I heard that there have been major changes above, have you heard the letter?" Huang Qiming said a little mysteriously.

"Brother Huang, did you hear any rumors?" Zhao Yuan was stunned when he heard this.

Zhao Yuan knew that Huang Qiming's eldest brother was the chief secretary of the county government, and he knew best what changes there were in the official face.

"I heard from my eldest brother that the court is discussing raising taxes, and it is said that the treasury is basically empty, and the pressure from the northeast is increasing." Huang Qiming said.

"Boss Huang, is this news accurate?" Father Zhang's expression was solemn.

"Eight or nine are not far from ten, in fact, there were rumors two years ago, but this time it seems that it is really going to be implemented, and now the manpower in charge of each government is being discussed."

"Boss Zhao, with your relationship with Wanjia, tell you what the situation is now."

Zhao Yuan thought about it, last year, after Zhou Zhou Shizong Chai Rong commanded the army to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty, forcing the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Jing to pass on the son, to the Later Zhou Dynasty, and then Zhou Shizong planned to attack Shu, and the Later Zhou general Li Yu attacked Shu Gui'an Town, and was intercepted by the Shu general Li Chengxun and killed Li Yu.

Hou Shu appointed Zhao Chongtao, Meng Yiye, Zhao Sijin, and Han Baozhen as envoys, with 60,000 troops, stationed in various key places to guard against Hou Zhou.

As soon as the army moved, military spending naturally increased, but the treasury of the Houshu Dynasty, which had been arrogant and luxurious for several years, was naturally not so abundant.

"I haven't heard it, today is the first time I've heard Brother Huang say, Fu shopkeeper, do you know?" Zhao Yuan said thoughtfully.

"What can I do about this, is there another war?" Uncle Zhao Chuanyi said worriedly.

"I haven't heard anything about it yet, so I'll have to find someone to inquire." Wanfu's expression also became solemn.

"Boss Zhao, it seems that the timing of your store opening is a little wrong, we don't want to go through it again a few years ago." Boss Tang said with emotion.

"Yes, almost all of my family's cash was handed over that time, and it almost didn't slow down." Father Zhang sighed.

"I'm not yet, it was really nerve-wracking, and I borrowed a sum of money to deal with it." Li Yun's father, Father Li, said with a frown.

"If this is true, then I will have to dispose of the goods in advance, and the store will be closed for a while." Another boss said.

"Isn't it true that things haven't been decided yet, so what's the matter to worry about?" Huang Qiming said with a smile.

"There's no way not to worry, Boss Huang, you have a relationship with your eldest brother, and you don't have goods in your business."

"What does it matter to me, if it's more true, I'm just as uncomfortable." Huang Qiming shook his head and said.

"Today is to celebrate the opening of Boss Zhao, let's not talk about these things without permission, Boss Zhao is not simple, he bought such an industry at a young age." Father Zhang smiled.

"By the way, I haven't asked Boss Zhao Guigeng yet." Father Li asked.

"I'm going to turn twenty soon, and my little business is nothing in the eyes of the bosses." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Not even twenty!"

"My kid is much older than you, and he still hasn't achieved anything."

"Brother Zhao, you Zhaojiazhuang has a capable person, I heard that Boss Zhao's family is only a man in his family, and this is to buy land and open a store." Boss Xue, who was sitting next to Zhao Chuanyi, said.

"The happiest thing in our village now is that there is such a junior as Atom, don't you know, we have followed him a lot, the children in the village, he supports him to go to school......" As soon as he heard someone praise Zhao Yuan, Zhao Chuanyi said endlessly.

"If you give birth to a son, you should be like your Zhao Yuan, our little gray plain town will almost not be able to fit him." Boss Xue said with emotion.

"He doesn't want to go out, I hope he can be safe." Zhao Chuanyi sighed.

Meng Ying took Luoluo to sit at another table, entertaining several female dependents, everyone was also talking about Zhao Yuan's newly opened shop, listening to everyone's compliments, Meng Ying felt very proud, who would have thought that the small family that was almost unbearable at the beginning could now be so prosperous.

After flipping through the reception, a group of people at the main table left Funing Building with a heavy heart, and Zhao Yuan beckoned Zhaojiazhuang's uncles and aunts, sisters and sisters, and his father-in-law's family to come to the store.

"Uncle Tao, how is it?" Walking into the store, Zhao Yuan asked.

"It's okay, although it's not a market day today, there are already a lot of things sold, but I haven't counted how much turnover there is." Tao Pu said with a smile.

"Now there are fewer people who come to buy things, Uncle Tao, you arrange for everyone to go to dinner, Aunt Pu should make lunch." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, Xiaotian, you inform everyone and go to dinner according to the rotation schedule." Tao Pu arranged.

"Brother Yang, Brother Qing, how is your business, how much have you sold?" Walking to the stalls opened by several brothers, Zhao Yuan looked at the stalls that obviously had a lot less food and asked.

"I've already sold more than 400 copper coins, atom, I didn't expect so many people to spend money to buy something to eat." Zhao Yang said.

"When things are done, there will naturally be more people to buy them, and Brother Yang, you don't sell them expensive." Zhao Yuan nodded at Uncle Pole and Aunt Hua, who were smiling on the side, and said with a smile.

"No wonder we have to do business to make money, we can only earn a few children by planting the land for a whole year." Zhao Chuanyi said.

"It's only the first day, Dad, I hope business can be so good every day in the future." Zhao Qiuren said with a smile that he sold no less food than Zhao Yang.

"Today has just opened, and the flow of people will be more, and I will be satisfied with half of today's income every day in the future." Zhao Qiuyun said.

Zhao Yang's snack stall is very popular, and almost every customer who enters the store will spend money to buy some snacks and go back, either by himself or with his own children.

"It seems to be stable, and I can rest assured about this stall in the market." Zhao Yuan said with a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yuan, who has never done business, is actually full of worries about opening such a small supermarket in the market, the flow of people in the market is small, and the consumption power is not very strong, but now it seems that the situation is not bad, and the turnover can have this performance before the market.

"Uncle, I think the food made by the uncles is better than the food eaten in Funing Building." Luoluo said on the side.

"Yes, Luoluo, do you want to eat a meat bun?"

"I can't eat it, Uncle Yang." Luoluo shook her little head and said.
