"What are you doing over there?" Sun Ren looked over there curiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Hundreds or thousands of people quickly gathered around the desk of the info house. Zhang Lang looked at it and said, "It's the Zhen family, go and have a look." Then he led the two women into the crowd. On the stage, the strong man said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you must know what our Zhen family does... That's right, our Zhen family is now a big businessman with a name and a surname under the commander, follow us and keep the ......... that eats and drinks spicy food."

A young man in the crowd couldn't help but shout: "Brother, what are you doing with such a table today?" Tell me straight...", many people stirred up.

The strong man motioned for everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "Our Zhen family is preparing to expand the scale of the westbound caravan, so we have set up this platform to recruit young people who are not afraid of hardship and danger... Join our Zhen family, porter, one tael of silver per month, if you are strong and know martial arts, you will be a guard, two taels of silver per month, and if you can calculate accounts and know words, you will be a clerk or accountant, and you will also be two taels of silver per month. ……”

The crowd had already stirred, and many people were moved.

The strong man continued: "If the porter and the guard go out on a mission, they can also get an additional reward, the amount is 30% of the mission income, everyone, this is a lot of income..."

People scrambled forward, shouting as they squeezed, "I'm participating... I'm going to participate...", there was chaos and a lot of noise. The strong man shouted at the top of his voice for everyone to line up, and then asked people to start registering their names and addresses.

Zhang Lang and the three of them left the crowd. Dong Ying asked very suspiciously: "The porter will give one or two pieces of silver, can the Zhen family afford it?" Sun Ren also felt the same way. Zhang Lang said with a smile: "A big businessman like the Zhen family has a huge industry in the domestic market, and it is difficult to describe their profits with daily progress; And the extraterritorial trade on the Silk Road was unimaginably lucrative. The Zhen family is not short of money now, what they lack is people, as long as there are enough people, they can earn enough benefits..."The two girls understand a little, but they don't understand too much.

Not far ahead, there was a sudden noise and noise, and the three of them followed the reputation, only to see that a high platform was also set up at the gate of Cai's house, and a girl in a strong suit on the high platform was talking loudly, the content was similar to that at the door of Zhen's house before, and there were thousands of people around the high platform, and the crowds looked like they were crowded.

Sun Ren couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Once upon a time, everyone was still disdainful of businessmen, but now they are flocking to it... Everyone is getting so motivated..."

Zhang Lang smiled: "This is vitality...", and then frowned, "Do you know why I don't like the Shi clan so much?" Just because the gentry clan suppressed the vitality of the whole society and the common people for their own interests in the name of morality... In the long run, our nation will become a backwater... Therefore, the class of scholars must be eliminated, or at least not allowed to dominate the country. ”

Dong Ying smiled: "How can we understand what you said... Anyway, no matter what you do, big brother, our sisters will absolutely support you..."Sun Ren nodded vigorously.

Zhang Lang was relieved. I saw a teahouse not far away, so I said, "You can too, let's go to the teahouse to have a cup of tea and rest." The two women smiled and nodded.

The three of them walked into the teahouse. When the second brother saw a guest coming in, he immediately greeted him, and asked, "The guest officer drinks tea?" Dong Ying said angrily: "If you don't drink tea when you come to your teahouse, is it possible to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er hurriedly laughed and said, "It's the villain who is confused." Zhang Lang asked, "Is there still a seat upstairs?" "Yes, yes, please come with me, guest officer...", and then led Zhang Lang and the three of them up the stairs to the second floor. Zhang Lang glanced at it and found that there were already seventy or eighty percent of the guests on the second floor, and there was no place by the window.

Xiao Er led the three of them to an empty table in the middle and invited them to sit down. The three of them sat down, and Xiao Er hunched down and asked, "What do the three of you want?" Zhang Lang said: "Let's have two pots of the best tea, and a few small snacks, let's look at it." Xiao Er answered, said wait, and left quickly.

Sun Ren looked around and said to Zhang Lang with some surprise: "Big brother, most of them are ordinary people..." Dong Ying said with a smile: "Now, the peasants are also rich, and the handymen are also rich, so they naturally have to come out to enjoy themselves..."Sun Ren smiled slightly, and glanced at Zhang Lang with adoring eyes, "It's all thanks to the eldest brother..."Zhang Lang said jokingly: "Xiangxiang, you say so, the eldest brother is fluttering..."

Dong Ying took a sip and scolded in a low voice: "It's really bad enough to say this in broad daylight..."

Zhang Lang pretended to be stupid and said: "What did I say about me?" ”

Dong Ying snorted, and Sun Ren's face turned even redder.

Xiao Er came back, with a big food plate in his hand, with two pots of black pottery teapots painted with plum blossoms, and snacks such as peanuts and mustard around him. Xiao Er came to the table, put the teapot and snacks on the table with his hands and feet, said slowly, and left.

Zhang Lang and the three of them told jokes while eating. At this moment, a tea guest on the table next to him said enviously to the fat tea guest at the same table: "Your brother, I haven't seen you for a year, I didn't expect you to be rich, dressed so well, like a rich man..." I have 80 acres of land in my hands, and the government does not collect any taxes, so it is difficult not to get rich..."The tea guest said very depressedly: "I knew that farming was so good, what other books did I read... Hey..."The fat tea guest said: "Brother, you are literate, it should be easier to make money..."

The tea guest said depressedly: "I've tried the imperial examination these times, hey, there are too many people, it's so difficult..."

The fat tea guest said: "Brother, your vision is too narrow... Why did you go to the imperial examination room to squeeze the single-plank bridge? Why don't you go to a merchant's house to do things? Although he was not as noble as he was famous, he was also at ease and lived a prosperous life. I know a son who is studying, and he couldn't pass the exam, so he went to Zhen's house to make a paperwork, tsk, when I saw him recently, his face was full of red light, and he was wearing silk and satin, and he was completely reborn... Do you know that doing paperwork in these big businessmen's homes can make much more money than being an official... If you achieve the level of stewardship, the benefits will be higher..."

The tea guest couldn't help but be moved, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you have a way?" Show me the way..."

The fat tea guest laughed and said, "Brother's favor, I naturally want to help... I know the Cai family's steward Deng who is responsible for purchasing rice grain, so I'll take you to find him......"

The tea guest was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Thank you so much, brother... The kindness of the elder brother is unforgettable..."

The fat tea guest smiled and waved his hand, "Brother, you're welcome... But I don't dare to pack a ticket for this matter, although Steward Deng will look at my face, but maybe he will test you, just don't perform too badly..."The tea guest said confidently: "Don't worry, brother, although the younger brother can't get famous, he is still very sure about clerical work..."

Dong Ying listened to the conversation between the two and asked Zhang Lang curiously: "Big brother, is the official's official Lu not as good as the steward of the Shangjia family?" It can't be, right? ”

Zhang Lang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "If it is the steward of the Zhen Mi family, I am afraid that the income of the six-grade official is higher." ”

Dong Ying and Sun Ren both felt incredible, and Sun Ren said worriedly: "In this case, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there won't be many people willing to be officials, right?" ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "On the contrary, every time the imperial examination is crowded, just like those two tea guests said..."

Dong Ying frowned, "This is strange..."

Zhang Lang smiled: "There's nothing strange about this, because not everyone wants to be an official for money." Some have the ideal of benefiting the people and leaving a name in history, while others envy the status they can get as a parent official. The reason why we have kept the salaries of officials relatively low is actually to curb corruption at the source. Because, those who are still willing to become officials when their income is relatively low are basically not for money. Wen and they both think that a high salary can't support the incorruptible, but can only be paralyzed..."

Dong Ying and Sun Ren felt that what the eldest brother said made sense, and couldn't help but nod.

Dong Ying joked: "I'm afraid that people in later generations will not have a good evaluation of the eldest brother, and they will say that the eldest brother is too stingy..."

Zhang Lang laughed, "What do you do with so much behind you?" ”

The three of them were eating and chatting in the teahouse, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed, and the three of them were a little unsatisfied. Called Xiao Er to settle the bill, got up and left the teahouse.

……

The three of them returned to the mansion, Dong Ying and Sun Ren went to the back first, and Zhang Lang came to the lobby and sat down. Yan Yuyao personally sent a bowl of tea, although Zhang Lang had already drunk a belly of tea, but he couldn't bear to live up to Yuyao's kindness, took the tea bowl, dried it in three or two, and praised it very comfortably: "The tea made by Yuyao is delicious..."Yan Yuyao smiled and asked, "I'll make you another bowl?" ”

Zhang Lang put down the tea bowl and waved his hand: "That's enough...", beckoned to Yan Yuyao and motioned for her to come over. Yan Yuyao walked up to Zhang Lang and knelt down.

Zhang Lang turned sideways, holding Yan Yuyao's slender hand and looking at her. Yan Yuyao is still so graceful and beautiful, her hair is draped behind her head like a waterfall, wearing a red and black culottes, her beauty is solemn, restrained, and subtle, but it is the most warm for Zhang Lang...

"Yu Yao, for so many years, it's really hard for you..."Zhang Lang couldn't help but say authentically.

Yan Yuyao smiled, holding Zhang Lang's big hand tightly, looking at him with beautiful eyes, she didn't say anything, everything was silent...

"By the way, what are the kids doing now?" Zhang Lang thought of his children and couldn't help asking.
