He smiled like this, and immediately attracted Lu Laosan and Zong Bai from the inner hall to rush out.

Seeing that it was Shen Mu and Ma Linzi, the two of them hurriedly pulled one of them and said straightly: "Hey, I just said that Mr. Shen and his brothers are not here, so you are here, come in and give us a reason." ”

The four of them entered the inner hall in a blink of an eye, but saw that on a table of eight immortals, there were more than ten dishes, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, looking at the tight arrangement, no need to ask, Zeng Roushui must have spent a lot of energy.

Duan Chao looked cramped and uneasy, this was his own mansion, but it was as if he had gone to a stranger's house as a guest.

Fortunately, there are two heartless brothers with him, otherwise, he would not be able to eat this meal at all.

Fortunately, Shen Mu and Ma Linzi arrived before they had dinner again, just like Hou Cheng that day, when he was surrounded by people and helpless, Duan Chao came over......

Duan Chao slapped his thigh, immediately stood up, and shouted, "What a Mr. Shen, you really know how to pick time." ”

In the room, Zeng Roushui sat next to Duan Chao, while Old Man Zeng sat on the main seat, as if he was the head of the family.

Zeng Canghai Shen Mu hadn't seen it, he was in a hurry to come back before, and he looked at it carefully at this time, but he felt that this old man was mediocre in appearance, looking like a farmer's uncle.

Shen Mu first saluted Zeng Canghai.

Zeng Canghai replied and said, "Rou'er, who is this descendant?"

Zeng Roushui hurriedly said: "Dad, this is Mr. Shen, Brother Duan's ...... Brother Duan's good friend. ”

Zeng Canghai said: "Oh, it turned out to be a friend." Okay, okay, then don't stand, sit, sit. ”

Shen Mu said that he was well, and sat down on the other side of Duan Chao.

Before his ass could sit down, he heard Zeng Canghai muttering: "I said Duan Chaowow, what kind of business are you doing, you don't even have a subordinate, why do you have so many friends?"

Hey, this old man is not outside, and he really thinks that he is the owner of this house.

When Ma Linzi heard this, he was a little unhappy, and he was about to get angry when he stood up. Shen Mu hurriedly pressed him to the chair. He said softly: "Don't talk nonsense to your future father-in-law. ”

Ma Linzi said angrily: "Sister-in-law is sister-in-law, what kind of old man is this old man......?"

Shen Mu coughed dryly, blocking Ma Linzi's words.

Zeng Roushui also felt that his father's words were too much, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, my father ...... him."

Zeng Canghai said: "Me, what's wrong with me?"

Zeng Roushui attached to Zeng Canghai's ear and whispered: "Dad, this house belongs to Mr. Shen." ”

I only heard Zeng Canghai exclaim: "What? Dead girl, why didn't you say it earlier, but what kind of friend it is." Don't you know that Daddy was so depressed before, all because of his friends? Ouch, Mr. Shen, sit down quickly, little old man was offended by his words just now, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

Well, this old man's face changes faster than he turns a book.

Shen Mu didn't mind, and said straightly: "It's not in the way." It's not in the way!"

Lu Laosan said: "Mr. Shen, I just wanted to ask you for a comment." ”

Shen Mu knew that everyone was fine, and his heart had already settled down, and he smiled: "What are you guys doing?"

Lu Laosan said: "Just now I made a bet with Zong Bai, saying that I would save one or two taels of silver in Yinzhuang every day, and if I saved enough for a year, how much silver could I take out, and I said that I could get more than three hundred and eighty taels." Zong Bai said that he could only get three hundred and sixty-five taels, and the other ten taels would need to be obtained next year. Zong Bai and I gambled a pot of wine on this and asked Duan Dangjia, but Duan Dangjia said that Zong Bai was right, and I asked him where he was right and what was the basis. Duan Dangjia couldn't say it. I can't make sense, so I'm naturally not convinced. Fortunately, Mr. Shen, you are back, how much silver should you get?"

Zong Bai said: "Yes, Mr. Shen, you tell me who is right and who is wrong." ”

Shen Mu laughed and said, "It turns out that this is the case." Actually, both of you are wrong. ”

Lu Zong and the others said in unison: "It's all wrong?"

Shen Mu said: "Yes, this calculation method is not the same as a simple one-time deposit, but a small deposit and withdrawal of interest and problems, the calculation method is also relatively troublesome, involving the number series and the base of each month, in simple terms, it can be recorded like this, that is, take the monthly deposit amount multiplied by the interest rate multiplied by the number of years and then multiplied by ......."

Lu Zong and the others were at a loss when they heard this. The others also stared at Shen Mu with a pair of eyes.

Shen Muhu felt five or six pairs of eyes staring at him blankly, and when he thought that what he said was modern financial things, where could these people understand. I had to pause and said, "That's it, I have already looked for two gentlemen before, and I think they will come to us in the next few days, and when the time comes, teach them to do these things." ”

Although Lu Laosan didn't understand the meaning of Shen Mu's words, he still cared about the outcome of the gamble, so he asked, "Then let's talk about how much silver it should be." ”

Shen Mu said: "If it is calculated according to the current interest set by us, the dividend should be nine thousand seven hundred and fifty yuan." ”

Lu Laosan said: "There are more than nine taels of silver?"

Shen Mu nodded and said, "Yes." So neither of you is right, you should both be punished for drinking!"

Zong Bai scratched the back of his head and said, "Punishment will be punished, this kind of brain-consuming thing in the future, I really can't do it with an elm pimple." ”

Shen Mu said with a smile: "Everyone has their own strengths, if you teach Shen to shoot arrows with a bow, don't say that you can hit the bull's-eye, but it's uncertain whether you can shoot the arrow target." Shen Mu paused, and then asked Duan Chao, "Brother Duan, how is the matter of Yinzhuang?"

When Duan Chao heard Shen Mu ask this, his face was full of energy. said: "Brother Shen, you are not here, you didn't see the appearance of Liang Dongcheng." When he saw that the silver was intact, he was only angry, and his old face was whiter than the burned paper figures. Happy, happy. ”

Shen Mu smiled heartily and said, "Silver, have they all taken it away?"

Duan Chao said: "No, all the gray ones have been pulled away." But. Brother Shen, don't worry, the people who came to deposit the silver in the past two days were crowded, and I saw that Hou Cheng and the others couldn't be busy, so I just helped in the city. Guess how much silver we have now?"

He pretended to be mysterious, and Shen Mu couldn't guess it. Shen Mu swept Duan Chao's interest, shook his head and said he didn't know.

Duan Chao slapped the table, raised a finger and said, "It's a full 10,000 taels of silver!"

Shen Mu said: "This ten thousand taels can be used with peace of mind." ”

Duan Chao said: "Not only that, there are still people coming to save money these days." Brother Shen's method is really good. Tell us to go out with the stones and come back with the dirt. Those idiots in Qixingzhai really think that what we spent was silver, and what we bought back was grain and grass. When he said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Mu said: "This is the combination of virtual and real, and it is also the fifth uncle's words that woke up." ”

Zeng Roushui saw that everyone was talking and laughing, but no one moved the chopsticks. If you put this dish down, it will be cold.

Zeng Roushui said softly: "Everyone, try my craft, let's talk while eating." If the dish is cold, it will lose its taste. ”

Duan Chao heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our brothers, if you are not drunk tonight, you are not allowed to run." Come, everyone move the chopsticks. ”

Shen Mu followed and said: "Yes, if you don't eat it again, the food will be cold, and the sister-in-law's heart will also be cold......

Duan Chao glared at Shen Mu with his eyes and reprimanded, "Go... Go... Go. As he spoke, he touched Shen Mu's wine glass and said, "Drink your bar." ”

This appearance caused Zeng Roushui on the side to hide his face and chuckle.

Everyone drank for a while, and Duan Chao said again: "Brother Shen, how are things going on over there?"

Shen Mu said: "I cut the idea of Qixingzhai, but I was hindered by the brotherhood alliance in Sizhou and broke the three of us." ”

When Zong Bai heard this, he immediately stopped his chopsticks and said, "My brother ...... him?"

Shen Mu said: "Brother Ming is fine, he lost three new brothers." ”

Zong Bai let out a long sigh, their two brothers, since the death of their parents, have been dependent on each other, hunting for a living, and the depth of their feelings is of course even deeper than others.

Ma Linzi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Sir, that thing ......"

Shen Mu raised his hand and said, "Come, let's toast the brothers." ”

Although Ma Linzi didn't understand why Shen Mu stopped him from talking, he had no choice but to give up. He raised his wine, prayed to the heavens, and then sprinkled it on the ground.

Zeng Canghai saw it, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Ouch, this wine is precious, it's a pity to pour it......"

Zeng Roushui tried to stop him from talking again, but it was too late.

His words caused everyone in the hall to laugh.

There was nothing to do for a few days, but it was unexpected by Shen Mu.

It stands to reason that if the Brotherhood League doesn't come to the door, Qixingzhai should always come to fight for knives.

But I don't know what's going on, even the shops of the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce have been closed for the past few days, and Xie has been out of business.

It's just that they don't come, just in time to think about their next move.

Ning Han is right, if you want to deal with Qixing Village, and then become the first cottage in Xishan Road, you can't just focus on Qixing Village, but you should think about the problems one by one.

The information on the various cottages attached to Qixingzhai and their respective livelihoods, locations, and the number of personnel should be collected as soon as possible, and in addition, the relationship between the other three major villages in Xishan Road, the distribution of the territory, and the relevant list of personnel should also be grasped as soon as possible.

Shen Mu asked people to prepare a sand table according to their own requirements, saying that it was a sand table, which was relatively simple, and he found all the craftsmen in Dingzhou Mansion, and their craftsmanship could not make a delicate sand table.

Fortunately, for Shen Mu, this is enough. Shen Mu spent two days piling up the general terrain one by one according to the map on the state capital chronicle, and marked the information he currently had according to the corresponding location.

The sand table is not a product of modernity. But it is indeed a fellow who marches and fights and eats.

All wars, before restarting, have already clashed dozens of times on the sand table.

Shen Mu looked at the simple sand table in front of him, and began to think that one day, he must make a one-to-one exquisite sand table.

Only in this way can we win a more accurate victory thousands of miles away, and we can arrange the troops at a glance.

Of course, without modern technology, it is simply wishful thinking to make a one-to-one sand table.
