West Chang'an Street, in front of a small shop, is full of people.

"Are you saying that as long as I give you two taels of silver first, I can come and receive a bucket of rice every month?" In the crowd, a woman asked closely.

The guy at the counter smiled and said, "That's right, it's only two taels of silver, and I come to receive it on the sixth day of the first month of every month." ”

"You're not going to lie to us, are you?" A man looked suspicious and said, "Now the rice is two taels of silver and one stone, ten buckets, you give two more buckets out of thin air, isn't it a loss?" ”

The crowd buzzed and felt like the guy was lying to them.

The guy was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, "Our shop is here, and you have also seen the rice behind the shop, is it possible that you can still run?" If you are worried, we can also make a deed, sign a pledge, and take a trip to the yamen. ”

A big fat man squeezed into the crowd, stepped forward, and said with a smirk, "Then can I have a few more?" I'm taking it on behalf of a friend. ”

The guy smiled and said, "Of course you can, there are only fifty places for today, first come, first served." ”

The fat man's eyes widened, and he said urgently, "Then give me five first, no, ten!" ”

As he spoke, the fat man slapped twenty taels of silver on the table.

The man's eyes lit up, he quickly collected the silver, took ten signs from the right wall, broke them one by one, handed half of them, and said, "You can get it first this month, and next month, take this brand to receive rice, only recognize the brand and not the person." ”

The fat man took the sign and looked at it, and said, "You can get it today?" ”

The guy opened the counter and said, "Please come in." ”

The fat man nodded again and again, walked into the shop, and before long, he gritted his teeth, came out with ten bags on his back, and walked forward with difficulty.

The onlookers watched, and some were already ready to move.

Rice was originally two taels of silver and one stone, ten buckets, but now there can be twelve buckets a year, who can not be tempted?

"Give me one!" Some people look ruthless, if two taels of silver can be eaten for a year, it will be a big profit!

"Okay!" The guy gave a long promise, took the sign while opening the counter, and said, "Please inside." ”

The man quickly came out with a bucket of rice on his back, refreshed and smiling.

"Give me one!"

"Give me a copy too!"

"I want it, I want it!"

The crowd was quickly brought up, and there were more and more onlookers, and they couldn't help but be tempted to join more.

The guy was busy, and the fifty places were soon gone, so he ran in and out, and said loudly, "Our shopkeeper said, as long as the decision is made today, it will be given, no matter how many people!" ”

"Give me a copy!"

"Give me three!"

"Give me my ......"

One to ten, ten to hundred, the crowd is getting more and more crowded, and the guys are already busy not knowing how many brands to sell.

In the teahouse not far away, Wei Xizhuang was watching, holding the railing tightly with both hands, and occasionally patting vigorously when he was excited.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Wei Xizhuang turned his head and said, "Old He, how is it?" ”

He Qishou walked quickly, and said with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect that the rice shop in front of me has sold more than 300 copies, and 600 taels have been credited to the account, which is worth this shop!" ”

"Good!"

Wei Xizhuang walked to the table and sat down, his expression was inexplicably surprised, and said, "Today is a good start, and other shops will do the same tomorrow, so that there will be nearly 10,000 taels in ten days, and you can give 9,000 years old." ”

He Qishou said yes with a smile and poured tea for Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang took a sip of tea, raised his head again, and said happily, "This Zhou kid is really smart, he can come up with this way, hey, you say, why didn't he do it himself?" ”

He Qishou stood in front of Wei Xizhuang, and said with a smile, "I have been watching his Zhou Ji shop, these days, not to mention a few hundred taels into the account, I heard that the movement caused is not small, many traders from the south to the north want to bring a little, Zhou Ji can't take it out, so he can only find those tooth shops, and those tooth shops will raise the price ......"

Wei Xizhuang was not a fool, his eyes widened and said, "You mean, he conspired with those tooth shops to raise the price and make another profit?" ”

He Qishou just analyzed, and there was no evidence, so he had to laugh and say, "I don't know about this little one." ”

Wei Xizhuang snorted and said, "It must be the case, don't look at this kid's appearance like a dog, there are a lot of tricks, we have to guard against him in the future." ”

He Qishou suddenly smiled and said, "Owner, shouldn't he be guarding against us?" ”

Wei Xizhuang was stunned, rolled his eyes, and said with a smug smile, "I didn't hurt him, he was a lifter, I arranged a seven-rank official for him, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Even if it's a jinshi, it doesn't matter if you have to wait! ”

"Yes, yes." He Qishou said with a smile.

Wei Xizhuang looked up at He Qishou, his eyes lit up, and said, "Speaking of which, what is the movement of that kid today?" ”

He Qishou said, "It's nothing, it's just that his scholar went to our teahouse to inquire about the whereabouts of the owner, and was pushed by me." ”

Wei Xizhuang smiled with satisfaction, nodded with a strange smile, his eyes flashed and he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "Do the right thing, hang him first, don't let this kid suffer a little, he doesn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!" ”

He Qishou smiled and did not answer.

Wei Xizhuang seemed to be very proud, but in an instant, he frowned again and said, "Lao He, I plan to go out for a few more days." ”

He Qishou's face changed slightly, approached, and said in a low voice, "Dongjia, what's wrong?" ”

Wei Xizhuang's expression was a little uncomfortable, he frowned, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that there is a person who wants to raid the house, and I don't want to go." ”

He Qishou sighed in his heart, pondered for a while, and said, "It's okay to go out, but there must be enough reasons to avoid being dissatisfied." ”

Wei Xizhuang naturally knew, took a sip of tea, stood up and said, "Get the silver first, send it over, and then I will find a suitable opportunity to go out of Beijing to hide for a month." ”

He Qishou saw that Wei Xizhuang was troubled, and his mind changed, and he said, "The owner, there is another Qinglou by the river......

Wei Xizhuang waved his hand and said, "How can you have this mind now, you stare at the shop, I went to the palace, and there were dead people in the palace again." ”

He Qishou didn't dare to speak, the matter of the palace was a taboo.

But he also guessed, I was afraid that another lady died suddenly.

Wei Xizhuang picked up the knife and hurried away.

With Wei Xizhuang's energy, he deliberately avoided Zhou Zheng, and Zhou Zheng would definitely not be able to find it.

Zhou was reading and practicing calligraphy in Zhouji, and supervised for a while in the 'factory', that is, the courtyard, and then returned to Zhou's mansion.

In the evening, at the dinner table, listening to Zhou Zheng's narration, Zhou Qingli's expression did not move, and he analyzed, "Li Hengbing probably voted for the eunuch party, otherwise he would not have come out." Fortunately, he still has some bottom line, and he shouldn't do anything to you. However, you have to be careful in everything, and don't trust people easily, no matter who they are. Keep your duty in everything, don't interfere too much, and ask you to be a ...... in trouble."

Zhou Qingli talked a lot today, obviously worried about whether Zhou Zheng could adapt to officialdom, and was afraid that he would be calculated and blackmailed.

Zhou Zheng listened carefully and occasionally asked, he was indeed a novice in officialdom.

Father and son asked and answered questions until late at night.

In the end, Zhou Qingli still said: "In officialdom, the most taboo is to fall into the handle, you will go less in the future, and the silver should be used cautiously and buy more land." ”

This should be the traditional idea of scholars, to have money to buy land and bless their descendants.

Zhou Zheng did not argue and responded.

Early the next morning, he wore an official uniform, entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and just walked to the corridor of Zhejiang Road, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

It was quiet, and some people watched his gaze dodge and dodge, coming and going.
