Chapter 105: Cross-examination

"Son, your cousin is in trouble now, and he asks for us, so you can help him!"

Wang looked at Zhang Heng, still wanting him to help, after all, it was a family.

"Mother, it's not that I don't help him, as long as he answers my questions, I will definitely help him."

Zhang Heng didn't believe that Zhang Lang was using the money for business.

After hearing this, Wang also felt reasonable, turned his head to look at Zhang Lang and said, "Lang'er, just tell me what you have been doing recently!" ”

Zhang Lang thought about it, and now there is only this way, so he began to make up a story: "Some time ago, I went to the field with a few people to collect a batch of sheep, only paid half of the money, and planned to ship it back to sell, now it's cold, everyone likes to drink mutton soup, but there was heavy rain on the road, and as a result, all those sheep ran away, so I am now in debt." ”

Zhang Heng saw that his brain was spinning quite quickly, and asked, "Where did you buy the sheep?" Planning to be back in a few days? How much does it cost per sheep? ”

"This... The place is in the original county, planned. is back in five days.. Each sheep is two pieces of money. ”

Zhang Lang also stammered these words.

"As far as I know, Yuan County is five hundred miles away from Bianjing City, if a person walks from morning to night, he may be able to reach it in five days, and you still want to arrive in five days with a batch of sheep, will it be a little unlikely!"

Zhang Heng directly said the flaw in his words.

And Zhang Lang also explained with a face: "I forgot to say that it was my companion who left first, and I walked later, so I could arrive in five days." ”

Zhang Heng continued: "Then how many sheep did you buy in total. ”

Zhang Lang didn't want him to be suspicious, so he immediately said without hesitation: "I bought a total of thirty."

"Okay, thirty is just that! Each of them is two, a total of sixty times, you pay half, all still owe thirty times, okay, I will give you these thirty times. ”

Zhang Heng wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, and he also promised to give him thirty times.

"This..."

Zhang Lang was also speechless at this time, this was all his own words, but he owed others hundreds of times, and these thirty times were not enough at all.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Heng also smiled slightly, and said to the Wang family: "Mother, there is nothing wrong now." ”

Wang also nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, you are a family, you have to help each other." ”

Zhang Heng didn't bother with Zhang Lang now, and walked out directly, ready to be busy with his affairs.

However, Zhang Lang followed, stopped him, and said, "Cousin, I have something I want to tell you." ”

Zhang Heng kept walking outside for a moment and said, "I have promised to help you repay the money, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Cousin, I'm going to be honest with you, in fact, I owe hundreds, more than thirty."

Zhang Lang also threw out these words directly.

"Wow, that's none of my business, is it?"

Zhang Heng was not surprised by this.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Lang was also anxious, and said: "Cousin, you can't ignore me, we are a family, otherwise I will go to my aunt again." ”

Zhang Heng stopped, looked at him and said, "You won't see him again, I will arrange for the nursing home to guard the door and prohibit you from entering." ”

Zhang Heng dragged him and said, "You can't do this, as long as you help me repay the money this time, I promise that I won't come to you again." ”

"I don't believe a word of your words, I will send you a word, and I will spend as much money as I can when I am capable."

Zhang Heng reminded him back, and then walked away.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lang's fists also clenched, and there was a look of resentment in his eyes.

When Zhang Heng came to the newspaper office, he saw a group of people surrounding the door, and looked inside one by one.

Seeing this, he also walked over curiously and said to one person, "What are you doing here?" ”

The man said, "Didn't the newspaper say that you can order these cotton clothes?" So we're all here to pay. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng also asked, "Then how many are you going to buy?" ”

"Just buy a cotton coat, after all, these things are not cheap, and it won't be so cold when you go back and wear them with your family."

The man replied with a smile.

Zhang Heng probably glanced at it, there were almost thirty or forty people, and it seemed that this pre-sale strategy was still very successful.

Soon a staff member came out, began to register, and said to one person, "What do you want to buy?" ”

"I want a set, cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, cotton hat, cotton quilt, this is thirty times."

One person directly handed over a large bag of money.

"Put this receipt away, and go straight to the store to take a break when the time comes."

The person in charge of registration also handed over the receipt.

In the palace, Zhao Gou was correcting the music in the palace, looking at Qing Yu walking over with a smile on his face, he also asked; "Girl, what's the matter? Laughing so happily. ”

Qingyu hurriedly walked over and said, "Father, didn't I plant a batch of chili peppers before!" Now that it's sold, Father, guess how much money I made? ”

Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Seeing that you are so happy, it should have turned a lot, five thousand times, is there one?" ”

"Father, guess again."

Qingyu shook his head.

"Is it six thousand?"

Zhao Gou guessed again.

Qing Yu said directly: "Father, I earned fourteen thousand yuan this time. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou couldn't help but be stunned, and then said, "So much! It seems that this chili pepper is really popular. ”

Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes! And according to the survey, the supply of chili peppers is still insufficient, and I have to get a few more plots of land to grow chili peppers, which is the first time I have made money, and it belongs to my own money. ”

Seeing that she was so happy, Zhao Gou also smiled and said, "Girl, you are now the first person to make money in the harem!" In just a few months, he earned 10,000 yuan. ”

"Father, you are better than me, now the newspaper can earn more than 10,000 yuan every month, you account for forty percent, it is also five or six thousand, and there are sixty or seventy thousand yuan a year."

Qingyu replied.

"For individuals, sixty or seventy thousand is a lot, but for the imperial court, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Zhao Gou sighed.

Qing Yu continued: "Isn't it that the imperial court is digging coal mines every year, at least several million! ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said: "Now the will of mining has also been issued to the whole country, and the preliminary estimate is that the income will reach tens of millions, which makes the imperial court breathe a sigh of relief, but it always feels like the money is not enough." ”

At this time, Qing Yu leaned over and said, "Father, since that Zhang Heng will make money, why not let the imperial court cooperate with him and do some money-making business." ”

"I've thought about this too, but if you let the court cooperate with a businessman, the ministers will never agree."

Zhao Gou waved his hand, he knew that those ministers valued face and reputation more than anything else.

"Then just give him an official position"

Qing Yu threw out this with a smile.
