"Bao'er, why is that?" Cen Shaobai didn't understand either. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Bao'er said with a smile: "Brother Cen, if you are this beggar Liu, when you look for five yuan to give to someone, that person will definitely think about it with the five yuan in his hand, what's the matter, if you want money, you still bring money." This kind of strange thing will definitely be publicized by him, and he will say to his relatives and friends, 'There is a beggar by the bazaar, and I gave him ten cents, but he asked me to give five cents.' The person who gave two cents was even more surprised, and it was estimated that he would have to turn his face with you at that time, 'What, at least five cents, is this still a beggar?' When you go back, this man will preach for you, 'I have a strange thing to do today, there is a beggar by the bazaar, I gave him two yuan, and he did not take it, and told me that I would only receive five yuan.' Think about it, these people are all famous for you for free, your popularity has increased, and your intangible wealth has increased, as long as you gather popularity, will you not be able to worry about money in the future? ”

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but bow their heads and ponder. Zhang Bao'er didn't speak, just held the tea bowl and looked at them quietly.

After a while, Cen Shaobai raised his head first, and he asked, "Bao'er, what about later?" ”

Zhang Bao'er continued: "After listening to the words of the master, the beggar Liu left. After a month, the master was not at ease with the beggar Liu, so he went to the market to find the beggar Liu. When I arrived at the edge of the market, I saw a group of people gathered in a corner of the market, and I squeezed in to see that it was really a beggar Liu in the middle. There was a sign standing in front of him, which read 'Liu's beggar', and the beggar Liu was busy collecting money and looking for money. A middle-aged woman in the crowd said, 'Hey, our father-in-law came back to tell me, I still don't believe it, there are still such beggars in the world, only five wen, don't want more, come here to take a look, it's really, you look at people's begging, it's really different." A rich kid next to him couldn't get angry, "I don't believe it yet, someone doesn't see money when they meet him." After that, he stepped forward, took out a tael of silver, and handed it to the beggar Liu, "You are very hard, don't look for it." The beggar Liu hurriedly grabbed him and counted out a bunch of copper coins to stuff it into him, "Thank you for the kindness of this son, you are not easy, I will charge you five cents, if you don't charge more, welcome you to come next time." When the onlookers saw this, they cheered. When the master saw this, he felt very satisfied, and without saying hello to the beggar Liu, he got out of the crowd. ”

Cen Shaobai listened with relish, and he asked, "Bao'er, this story must not be over yet!" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded: "Another month has passed, it is raining in the sky, and the beggar Liu has come to find the master again, 'Thank you for your idea, my current begging business is thriving, if it doesn't rain today, I won't be able to spare time to come and see you." The master smiled, "You yourself have a face suitable for begging, plus you have experienced so many ups and downs, and your face is full of vicissitudes, and people with a little sympathy want to give you some alms." The beggar Liu said, "It's strange to say, the people who beg with me in the bazaar are worse than me, but they don't need a few dollars a day." The master told him, 'You don't understand this, don't think that you are just begging, you are begging at the same time, you bring novelty and happiness to everyone.' People are like this, when they have money, they want to find something new, if they hear that there is a three-legged toad, many people will travel thousands of miles to see it. So, people give you money, not because you deserve sympathy, but because your behavior makes others feel different. Beggar Liu nodded when he heard this, "I understand, you mean that many people have nothing to do when they are full?" The master nodded, and stopped talking. ”

"And then?" Cen Shaobai asked again.

Later, the master came to the bazaar again to look for the beggar Liu, and he saw a lot of people around the corner of the bazaar, more than the last time. The master stepped forward and squeezed in to take a look, although the sign on the ground was still beggar Liu, but the person had changed. The master asked the man, 'What about the beggar Liu?' The man replied, "Shopkeeper Liu is in the main store in the capital, this is only a branch, and I was hired by him to look at the store......

"And later?" Cen Shaobai was really a little persevering.

"There is no later, if there is more, it will be Brother Cen whose business name will continue to write the story again." Speaking of this, Zhang Baoer looked at Wang Hufeng: "Shopkeeper Wang, my story is finished, you go back and think about it, if you can understand, come to me again." If we don't understand, I'm afraid we won't need to meet! ”

After that, Zhang Baoer got up and left without looking back, leaving Cen Shaobai and Wang Hufeng looking at each other.

Li Longji became the prince of the prison country, Princess Taiping went to her own fiefdom, it stands to reason that Li Longji's power is greater, but I don't know what's going on, after Yao Chong and Song Jing were demoted from Beijing, Li Longji was suppressed by Princess Taiping, who was remote commanded in Puzhou, and his strength was far less than before.

The positions of Yao Chong and Song Jing were installed by Princess Taiping with a group of cronies, not only that, but the old minister Wei Anshi was secretly surrendered by Princess Taiping Mingsheng because of several attempts to protect the prince, and on the surface he was promoted to the second rank of the left servant, but in fact he was deprived of real power and sent to Luoyang, the eastern capital. The prince's teacher, Zhang Shuo, was appointed as Shangshu Zuocheng and was also assigned to Luoyang. In the entire prime minister's group, Li Longji's people are the only one left, Liu Youqiu. Liu Youqiu was originally just a county magistrate, but because of the coup d'état, he was promoted to the high position of prime minister. His qualifications and influence are far inferior to Yao Chong, and he can't compare with the prime ministers under Princess Taiping.

After the efforts of Princess Taiping, in just three months, the balance of power between her and Li Longji has changed significantly, and many people have seen this: Li Longji at this moment, although it seems that he is the prince in charge of the country and has great power, but his comprehensive strength is weaker than before the prison of the country, and the whole thing is hollowed out.

On the seventeenth day of the second year of Jingyun, in the Dingguo Mansion, Zhang Baoer once again hosted a banquet for Xue Ne and Xie Wan.

"Two old marshals, the March appointment has arrived, I keep my promise, so I invite two old marshals again!" Zhang Baoer said boldly.

"Dingguo Gong is really a believer!" Xue Ne and Xie Wan saluted Zhang Bao'er.

Xue Xie and the two of them went to the banquet this time, and their mood was completely different from three months ago. If three months ago, Xue Ne and Xie Wan were somewhat disdainful of Zhang Baoer, then now they admire Zhang Baoer.

In the past three months, Xue Ne and Xie Wan have stayed in the army day by day, doing nothing, just to see how Zhang Baoer can subdue the hearts of the army. Zhang Bao'er did not break his promise, and sure enough, he took all the Yulin Army and Wanqi into his hands in three months, and did not borrow the two of them at all, and did it completely by himself.
