Chapter 13 Outside the east of the city, decaying liquor shops

For most of the royal servants, they preferred to stay in the palace. Because the monthly money you can get every month in the palace is quite generous.

However, for Wang Dong, not only did he not care, but he was a little happy.

"Isn't it just going to a liquor store outside the city? Why are you more nervous than I am? Wang Dong looked at Liu Er, who was muttering non-stop, and asked.

Liu Er said: "Hey, if you go to the Yuelai Restaurant in the west of the city and the Laifu Inn in the south of the city, I won't be worried." However, do you know where the wine shop is outside the east of the city? ”

"Where?"

"The wine shop, built outside the city, has not been patronized by many guests, since Sanniang took over, I heard that there are not even many people, you go there, I'm afraid there will be some suffering." Liu Er sighed.

After listening to Liu Er's words, Wang Dong became interested, put down the burden that his subordinates had packed, and said, "Then you should tell me, what is the current situation in this wine shop outside the east of the city?" ”

"I've heard of ...... too"

Liu Er's stay in the palace was too long longer than Wang Dong's after all. Liu Er told Wang Dong in detail what he had heard.

It turned out that in the past few years, Wang Funan has handed over part of the Wang family's property to his children to take care of. It is used to test their respective business capabilities, and it can be regarded as preparing for the selection of a qualified manager for the Wang family in the future.

And this Wang Mengyao, that is, Sanniang in the mouth of everyone, for some reason, the three industries he received were much more shabby than others.

Wang Mengyao, Wang Funan's third daughter, in the palace, life experience is the biggest taboo. Although she grew up in the palace since she was a child, compared with other descendants of the Wang family, Wang Mengyao received too little attention from Wang Funan.

A year ago, in order to revive the declining Wang family, Wang Funan assigned a small number of shops to his children to take care of.

Among them, Wang Mengyao got the management rights of the liquor store outside the east of the city, the Jinyang branch of Wangjia Rice Shop, Taiyuan and 100 acres of fertile land in the south of the city.

Among these three businesses, the rice shop business is the best, and the wine shop is the worst.

Especially for the liquor shops outside the east of the city, after Wang Mengyao took over, it was directly judged that the liquor shops were too profitable and consumed too much labor, so they redistributed manpower and almost completely abandoned the operation of the liquor shops outside the east of the city.

Wang Funan is naturally very clear about this situation. But he didn't intervene, he wanted his children to do something on their own terms.

Today, Wang Funan took advantage of Wang Dong's matter and mentioned the wine shop outside the city in front of Meng Yao, and "assigned" Wang Dong to the past. In fact, he was also secretly reminding Meng Yao that the wine shops outside the city should not be given up lightly.

After listening to Liu Er's narration, Wang Dong didn't think that this wine shop outside the city was a bad place, but more like the Wang family's "paradise".

Because everyone knows that the wine shop outside the east of the city was almost abandoned by Meng Yao, on weekdays, no one will go there at all, no one will disturb it, isn't it a paradise?

"Hey, it's just that days like this, I'm afraid it won't last long." Wang Dong sighed in his heart, the operation of the wine shop will be taken back one day, and when the time comes, the leisurely days he longed for will come to an end.

To tell the truth, he has experienced so many things in his previous life, and Wang Dong, who was reborn, does not seek to be rich and noble in this life, but to be free and enjoy life.

It's just that now he is a slave in the palace, and he can't help it. If Wang Dong wants to live the life he wants, he must get rid of the identity of "slave of the royal family".

Thinking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help asking: "By the way, in the Wang family, if you want to redeem yourself, how much silver do you need?" ”

"Silver?" Liu Er was stunned, "Can the silver be redeemed?" ”

"If you don't have to redeem yourself with money, what is it for?" Wang Dong was puzzled.

Liu Er pointed to Wang Dong's burden, which contained some copper coins that Qigong had given him, and said, "Of course, you can use money, or you can use silk or gold." ”

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Dong knew. It turned out that in the Tang Dynasty, silver was not used as currency.

"How much does that cost?" Wang Dong continued to ask.

Liu Er shook his head: "This, I don't know, because since I entered the mansion, I have never heard that someone has redeemed himself." ”

Liu Er's answer made Wang Dong stunned. There is no one who has redeemed himself? He was suddenly able to understand why none of these people chose to redeem themselves. Because the Wang family has a big business, even if it has declined a little over the years, being a slave in the Wang family is also the most stable kind of "work".

But Wang Dong doesn't want to, he doesn't want to stay in a small Wang family as a slave for the rest of his life, since he has come to this world, of course he has to visit the great countries of the Tang Dynasty all over the world, so as not to live in vain.

And if you want to leave the Wang family and want to redeem yourself, I am afraid that it will cost a very large amount of money.

In the last life, Wang Dong was harmed by money and profit, and he didn't want to be burdened by it anymore. But the situation forced him to earn his ransom in order to live the life he wanted.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that when I came to Datang, I would have to be burdened by money, sad, lamentable." ”

So, in Liu Er's incomprehensible gaze, Wang Dong took his burden on his back, followed the Seventh Duke to leave the palace, and embarked on the road of "exile". Along the way, Wang Dong was thinking, how should he earn his ransom when he has no long things?

In the 21st century, as a lawyer, he is engaged in delving into legal loopholes. Now that he came to Datang, he found that he couldn't find a way that could make him rich.

In my memory, the only profession related to lawyers in ancient times was "lawyer", but there doesn't seem to be such a profession in the Tang Dynasty now.

Following behind Qigong, the two left the palace and headed east. On the lively streets, all kinds of special snacks are dazzling, and the business is excellent. This made Wang Dong sigh: "If a cook travels to Datang, he will definitely be very popular." ”

After walking for about an hour, Wang Dong vaguely saw the city tower in front of him. He was more impressed, and last time, he was almost caught there and sent to prison.

Before coming to the city gate again, Wang Dong still had palpitations, tightened the public inspection in his hand, and said in his heart: "This time, it should be fine." ”

Sure enough, a qiē was even smoother than expected. The officers guarding the city did not check Wang Dong's identity at all, so they let him go out of the city with Qigong.

"Qigong, why didn't the officers guarding the city arrest me for a public inspection this time?" Wang Dong asked.

Qigong walked in front and replied: "Last time, you misbehaved, of course, you will be left for interrogation. Otherwise, how much time and energy will be wasted if you check every time you enter and leave the city. ”

"I see."

Wang Dong nodded, and the two of them walked out of the east gate of Jinyang City, advancing all the way, and the surrounding buildings became more and more scarce.

Finally, a quarter of an hour later, Qigong said, "We have arrived." ”

Wang Dong finally arrived at the destination of his trip.
