Chapter 15: Grace
One is indeed the above reason, this album is estimated to be a long time later to give the offence.
Second, he wants to befriend Mao Xiang.
There are really not many scholars like Mao Bijiang who have the backbone and blood to dare to risk killing their heads to be a remnant of the Ming Dynasty and do not cooperate with the Qing Dynasty.
Zheng Hao hopes that he can recruit him as his arm in the near future.
Hearing what Zheng Hao said, Mao Xiang smiled heartily and said, "Haha! I see! Well said, well said! It doesn't matter if you get the book later; I know that the virtuous brother knows that I am shy, so he deliberately takes care of me, and I accept my brother's kindness, and he will make up for it one day. ”
Mao Xiang said and beckoned a servant who followed him, and took two silver ingots of 50 taels from the blanket and handed them to Zheng Hao.
Zheng Hao took the two heavy ingots in his hands, turned his head and handed them to Zheng Chong.
"Brother Chong, you and I can keep it." Zheng Hao said to Zheng Chong.
"It's good!" Zheng Chong carefully put the two ingots into the blanket he was carrying.
He had never seen such a large amount of silver when he was so big, and in fact, when he had the most money, he only had a few hundred small coins.
Zheng Chong felt like he was in a dream, and everything in front of him was so unreal.
"Brother Bijiang, you, I and Shopkeeper Qin, let's make a note for the three parties, Shopkeeper Qin, the mother book of this album will be placed here with you first, let's make an agreement, when you run out, let Brother Bijiang take it away." Zheng Hao accepted the money, and his heart was finally at ease, so he proposed with a smile.
"That's right!"
"That's exactly how it should be!"
Mao Xiang and Shopkeeper Qin both agreed.
The three of them went to the room behind the bookstore and sat down to sign the note.
The shopkeeper Qin told Mao Xiang that it would take at least twenty years to make the engraving of "The Legend of the Wild Fox", and he hoped that Mao Xiang would come and pick up the book after twenty years.
After saying the time to pick up the book, Mao Xiang said goodbye to Zheng Hao and the shopkeeper Qin.
"Brother Zheng Xian, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Mao Xiang said to Zheng Hao.
"Brother Bijiang, the coming day will be long, and there will be a period later!" Zheng Hao politely sent Mao Xiang away.
After Mao Xiang left, he signed a sharing agreement with the shopkeeper Qin for "The Legend of the Wild Fox".
This is the final cooperation.
"Shopkeeper Qin, I wonder when this book will be published and listed?" Zheng Hao asked Boss Qin. He is concerned about the listing of this book, and naturally he is still concerned about when his purse will be able to bulge.
The Ming Empire is about to fall, and if he wants to grow his power to a certain extent in five years, he will naturally need a lot of money to support it.
He'll have to plan ahead!
Boss Qin pinched his fingers and calculated, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, this book is expected to be published and listed in a month, if the elder brother needs money urgently, he can go to Brother Yu to withdraw it first." ”
In other words, it will take at least two months to get the first share of the remuneration.
Zheng Hao smiled bitterly in his heart: It is impossible to get rich by relying on remuneration.
Moreover, in this era, if you have no power and powerless, and rise to wealth too quickly, it is estimated that you will be regarded by some parties as a fat sheep that can be plundered and exploited at will.
While creating wealth, you must also build your own power!
Zheng Hao chatted with the shopkeeper Qin for a few more words, and then he said goodbye and took Zheng Chong out of Zhilan Hall.
At this time, it was already the moment of the Shen time, which was about 3:15 when converted into the time of the afterlife. There is still quite some time before the gates are closed.
Zheng Hao said to Zheng Chong: "Brother Chong, let's play in the city for a while and then come back, okay?" I'll invite you to the restaurant later. ”
Zheng Chong grinned: "Very good! I may not have visited this Wuxi city for a long time. ”
The two of them wandered around the streets near Chong'an Temple.
Zheng Hao also has a purpose for wandering here, he wants to observe what opportunities he can seize in this era to make himself strong quickly.
After turning around, Zheng Hao saw a ready-to-wear store.
His heart moved.
Will there be any trendy and fashionable clothing styles in the ready-to-wear stores of this era? Can I do something in this industry?
He turned his head to look at Zheng Chong's clothes, and said with a smile: "Brother Chong, go into this clothing store and have a look." ”
Zheng Chong was wearing a short white cotton coat and a pair of white wide trousers, both the short coat and the pants were in tatters.
The dress was a little too shabby.
"Brother Hao, are you going to buy new clothes? Let's go in and have a look! Zheng Chong grinned and said angrily.
The two of them walked into the ready-to-wear store.
The walls of this store are full of clothes, most of them are blue, purple, blue and white, and the style is the old style of wide robes and large sleeves, and there are really not many new styles.
Zheng Hao felt that these clothes were much uglier than the Hanfu that was popular in later generations.
"Brother Chong, I think you must be dressed well in this body, you might as well give it a try." Zheng Hao pointed to a robe and said to Zheng Chong.
Zheng Chong grinned: "Brother Hao, my brother is very poor and can't afford such good clothes, so don't try it." ”
"Brother Chong, our brothers are like-minded, naturally we have the meaning of wealth, you have helped me so much, my brother will buy you a new dress, can't you?" Zheng Hao said.
Zheng Chong listened, blinked, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Hao is going to help me buy new clothes, I am stupid, and I can't flamboy, then thank you brother." ”
He accepted it remarkably.
Zheng Hao nodded to a guy standing not far away and said, "Man, can my brother try on this dress?" ”
The guy glanced at the two of them, frowned, and ignored them.
Zheng Hao knew that he felt that the two of them were not target customers, so he simply ignored them.
Zheng Hao didn't say a word, nodded to Zheng Chong and said, "Brother Chong, take the money out!" ”
Zheng Chong also felt breathless.
He now has Zheng Hao's two big ingots in his blanke.
Seeing Zheng Hao say this, Zheng Chong walked to the counter, took out a 50-tael big ingot from the jacket and slapped it on the table, almost slapping the table with a hole: "Dogs look at things that are low!" Look, grandpa has money! Don't show your face to grandpa! ”
The whole garment store was shocked.
The account room sitting at the counter and napping was startled, looked at the big ingots on the table, looked up and looked at Zheng Chong, who was standing in front of the counter like a black iron tower, and stammered: "Big, big, uncle, yes, what do you want to do small, small?" Please, please! ”
"I'm going to try on that dress, okay?" Zheng Chong stared at a pair of cow eyes, looked at the bookkeeper and said.
"Master, you, of course you can try! Please feel free to try it on. The bookkeeper said.
