Chapter 69 Make the best use of your talents
Because Liang Zhu talked to Douzi until midnight, when Zhang Forget got up the next day, he looked depressed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Douzi snuggled beside him with two dark circles under his eyes, still immersed in the story: "The lifespan of butterflies is so short, why do Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai become butterflies after death?" ”
Zhang Forget rubbed his eyes and said, "That's right, isn't it better to become two kings and eight kings who stay together?" ”
Douzi slapped him in annoyance, and turned his head to see Ma Bao and Wang Rao, who had two dark circles under her eyes, coming over.
Ma Bao's gaze turned around on the faces of Zhang Wang, Douzi and Wang Rao, and compared the six dark circles under the eyes of the three of them, and a frightened expression gradually appeared on their faces.
Oh my God, what did all three of them do last night?
My sister is so fierce, how did Zhang Forget get it? Douzi is only eight or nine years old, how did Zhang Forget get down?
Wang Rao knew that many of this honest senior brother was just his appearance, so he kicked it over, kicking the doubt on his face to nothing.
The Dong brothers waited until the third pole of the day before Zhang Wang got up, and both stepped forward to say goodbye.
Because they were worried that the killers of Sikong Mansion would come to kill them, they couldn't sleep all night.
Zhang Forget saw that they were not in good spirits, and looked worried, and said nonsense: "You two don't have to worry, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I already have a way to help you get rid of your crimes." ”
When the Dong brothers heard this, they regarded his dark circles as evidence of their hard work, and they were moved beyond measure.
Douzi lowered her head so that no one could see her embarrassed face. Wang Rao pursed her lips and twisted her head to the side.
Zhang Forget pointed to the busy servants in the courtyard and said to Dong Wan: "I have ten craftsmen and ten maids, one hundred nursing homes headed by Zhang Mane, plus nearly 100 of their families, it can be regarded as a big business."
It's a pity that there are so many people, I don't have time to take care of them on weekdays, and my subordinates are incompetent, so I finally let them become a mess of scattered sand. Brother Dong Wan, if you are not aggrieved, can you do me a favor and take charge of the house for me in advance? ”
Dong Wan saw that Zhang Forget had assigned him to do things, his face showed joy, and he nodded hurriedly and agreed.
Zhang forgot to let him be the housekeeper of Zhang's house, which seemed to have wronged him, but in fact, it gave him great trust. At the same time, I am also telling him that you will be my person from now on, and I will help you relieve your worries.
Zhang forgot to see that he was interested, so he appointed him as the chief butler of Zhang's house and sent him to do things.
Looking back at Dong Zhao, who was countless times better than his younger brother, Zhang Wangxiao smiled and said, "I have an immature idea, that is, to build a library in the open space in the vestibule of my house. I will send my family to buy all the books that can be bought on the market, and put them in the library pavilion, and provide free reading for all the people of Luoyang for twelve hours. ”
Dong Zhao thought for a while, clapped his hands and agreed: "Brother Huaixi's move is very good, firstly, it can benefit the poor scholars, and secondly, it will increase the popularity of the family. ”
Zhang Forget saw Dong Zhao break his mind with a word, and he was very happy in his heart. This person who can be ranked as the third public in the future is really very intelligent.
Build a library for people to read for free, which can benefit the poor scholars and promote their reputation in Luoyang. Second, it has continuously increased the popularity of Zhang Zhai, which means that Zhang Zhai has a lot of eyes and ears and hostages, and anyone who wants to come to the door and harm himself again will have to be bogeyed because of this.
"After the library is built, all kinds of books in the subset of the history need a knowledgeable person to classify and sort out.
Dong Zhao knew that it was false for Zhang to arrange things for his brother, and it was true to give his brother relief, so he clasped his fists with both hands without hesitation and said: "Zhao will not disgrace his life." ”
Zhang Wangmu saw Dong Zhao leave, and he was in an extremely happy mood. traveled to the end of the Han Dynasty for dozens of days, and finally recruited a decent talent.
Wang Rao saw that Zhang Forget had sent the Dong brothers away, and said to him: "I knew that you would sleep like a dead pig, and I didn't get up until now, so I wouldn't let my father come so early." My dad is waiting for you in the guest room, and I drank three pots of tea. ”
Zhang Forget glared at her, said, "Remember to collect tea money from your father", and sent them to the guest room to wait.
Waiting for Wang Rao to leave with Ma Bao angrily, Zhang Forget beckoned Zhang Mane to step forward.
Zhang Mane stood where he couldn't kick himself, and asked respectfully, "What does Lang Jun command?" ”
Zhang Forget took a closer look at him and found that he had followed him for these days, eating and drinking enough, carefree, and gaining a lot of weight, and he was secretly proud in his heart. In time, these Yellow Turban soldiers will be smoothed out by a comfortable life, and they will no longer have the idea of pinning their brains to the waistband of their trousers to fight the world.
Zhang Mane was panicked by his staring, and couldn't help but take another step back.
Zhang Forget glared at him angrily and asked, "On the market, how much is a ploughing cow worth?" ”
Seeing that he wasn't trying to trouble himself, Zhang Mane suddenly relaxed a lot: "Hui Langjun, the old and weak ploughing cattle are about four or five thousand yuan, and the vigorous ploughing cattle in the prime of life are seven or eight thousand. Depending on the age, calves cost between two or three thousand and four or five thousand. ”
Zhang Forget nodded: "How many copper coins are left in the treasury?" ”
Zhang Mane replied: "The five million that came into the family property yesterday were all from the Taiwei Mansion, and our treasury has not touched a penny, and there are about three million dollars at the moment." ”
Zhang Forget was surprised: "There are so many? ”
Zhang Mane said: "The white pottery is very profitable, and the most inferior products made by the craftsmen will be sold for seven or eight hundred wen in the market. The bean housekeeper uses the secret method of fine white pottery, and the best can be sold for 10,000 yuan. If Lang Jun allowed to sell those fine white porcelain, it would be 100,000 yuan a piece. ”
Douzi couldn't help but be complacent when he heard Zhang Mane boasting about himself. But thinking that he was no longer a housekeeper, he was suddenly a little lost.
Zhang Wang pondered for a moment and said, "You send fifty brothers back to find Bo Shuai, go with a million money, and give me a hundred ploughing oxen." ”
Zhang Mane was stunned for a moment and said, "Bo Shuai has war horses there, but there are very few ploughing cattle. ”
"In the northwest and north, there are Hu people who graze cattle and sheep, just ask them to buy it, what do you think I want you to do with a million dollars? I only need 100 ploughing cattle, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of dollars are counted as filial piety to Bo Shuai. ”
Zhang Mane was very happy to see that Zhang Wangxin was tied to the yellow scarf, agreed, and turned around to prepare. If he was reluctant to leave the prosperous place of Luoyang, and was reluctant to pay 3,000 wen a month, he would like to go on his own trip and return to his brothers to show off.
Douzi waited for Zhang Mane to leave, and asked curiously: "Our family doesn't have an acre of land, why do you buy so many cultivated cattle?" ”
Zhang Wangxiao scratched her nose with a smile: "We don't have land, but the people do." We rent cattle to them cheaply or even for free, and we can brush up on prestige. When we were in Huayin County, didn't we talk about it? Win the hearts of the people, the hearts of the scholars, the hearts of the court, the hearts of the world, all the things that can achieve these goals are prestige. ”
Douzi sighed and asked: "Donating family property is to let the court look sideways, rent farming cattle, and let the people support it, so to build a library and read for free, just to make the scholars admire?" ”
"Building a library to make scholars admire is secondary, mainly for self-preservation. The scholars of the poor family could not afford to read, but their status was noble. Shi Nong and industrialist, with a clear hierarchy, no matter how downtrodden the scholars are, they are also members of the ruling class, and they will also have the opportunity to revitalize their families in the future. With them coming and going to our house frequently, Zhang Ji has no way to jump over the wall and come to our house to kill people. ”
Douzi gave a thumbs up to Zhang Forget and said, "You are so treacherous!" ”
"If you don't praise people, shut up." Zhang Forget angrily knocked her fingers aside and ordered: "Don't be idle, pull a cart of ice and tea to the city gate, provide cold tea to the soldiers guarding each gate to quench their thirst, and help me brush up my reputation among the lower-class soldiers." ”
Douzi pursed his mouth: "I'm not going, I'm not a big housekeeper anymore." ”
Zhang Wangfu stroked his forehead and smiled bitterly: "You are really a stupid girl, no matter how powerful the housekeeper is, he is just a subordinate, no matter how unbearable the master is, he is also the master." Would you rather be a slave than a master? ”
When Douzi heard this, he suddenly became depressed: "I was originally the daughter of a farmer, and I am not qualified to be the master." If you and I hadn't gone to heaven, who would have looked down on me? ”
Zhang Forget touched her hair and said, "My beans are naturally beautiful and intelligent, how can it be the life of a farmer?" In this world, there is nothing that money can't do. After I found your parents back, I will help your family raise their status and make you the master with confidence. ”
Douzi glanced at Zhang Forget faintly: "If you don't say the words natural beauty and intelligence, I will almost believe your words." ”
Zhang Forget flicked her head in annoyance: "Hurry up and prepare ice cubes and tea, and go to the city gates to bring water to the soldiers." The soldiers guarding the gate don't know how many people come and go every day, and it's very likely that they will know your parents. ”
Douzi was reminded by him, and suddenly realized, bounced back Zhang Wang's head, and ran away with a grin.
