Recently, Su Ling will teach the ladies in his family to read and write when he has nothing to do, and it is not surprising that Dong Cao Niang can speak four-character idioms.

But when Zhou Qi went out to see the comer, he only felt that Dongcao Niang was afraid that there was some misunderstanding of the words 'the comer is not good'?

The person who came was clearly full of smiling and enthusiastic, but he was taller and his muscles were stronger.

"Yo! Isn't this the head of the Shunyuan Dart Bureau? ”

Zhou Qi sneered, and turned around and walked towards the courtyard without raising his eyelids, what kind of person did he think when he heard that the person who came was not good, but he didn't expect it to be the big old man in the Shunyuan Dart Bureau, and he still needed him to greet people in person?

The person in charge of the Shunyuan Dart Bureau immediately raised his legs to follow up, but was stopped by the house slave outside the door.

He was not angry, and hurriedly wiped two handfuls on his face, and said: "Yes, yes, shopkeeper, it's a villain, I didn't know Taishan yesterday, and I didn't even know the shopkeeper in front of me, I should be damned by the villain!" I'm damned villain! ”

Zhou Qi smiled when he looked at this person, and waved his hand to let him in, but he didn't go straight to the main hall.

In the side hall, he was sitting on the main seat, and he took a sip of tea without speaking.

The man didn't dare to sit down rashly, so he stood next to him with a smile on his face, which was quite inconsistent with his dog-eyed appearance a few days ago!

Seeing that he came but didn't speak, Zhou Qi raised his eyes: "The person in charge, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Isn't this yesterday when the villain couldn't speak, which made the shopkeeper angry? I, I'm here to apologize......"

As he spoke, the person in charge took out two large silver bills from his bosom and handed them over, still looking flattering.

Zhou Qi didn't stretch out his hand to take it, the corners of his mouth hooked, now he was even more sure that he had to be replaced, and he had completely thought about the personnel.

You know, in this era, the general shop uses their relatives as helpers, but they can also buy the deed or hire workers, it can be said that the Qian Dynasty is very open to this aspect, although the status of merchants is low, but because the court still wants to collect that share of the business tax, there is not too much suppression of the merchants.

And he was confused about this inexplicable extra industry, and he didn't know what the relationship between this matter and the people behind it was, but no matter what it was, it was impossible to take the initiative to offer the silver taels.

Don't look at these two hundred taels as if it's not much, but in this era, it's still a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

The dart bureau is full of dart masters, and they are already low-status under the suppression of heavy text, and it is hard to say whether the monthly money of this person needs fifty taels, but he took the initiative to give him two hundred taels?

Joke.

But before the substitution, he could have probed first.

"I don't need to be a silver tael, and I'm not a shopkeeper who oppresses hired labor."

Zhou Qi stretched out his hand to sit him down, and asked with a plan in his heart: "Are you from the capital?" ”

Seeing that this shopkeeper was very easy to talk to, the manager thought that his position in charge was probably saved, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes!" We were all transferred from the capital, and the head of the capital said that he had to open a branch in Qizhou. ”

Zhou Qi nodded thoughtfully.

"Qizhou is not far from the sea, and the seaside is a small county, so it is appropriate for this dart bureau to be opened here, and if it is a maritime merchant in the future, you can also start a water business."

"What the shopkeeper said is that maybe the head of the capital is also so calculating."

Zhou Qi ignored him, and asked again: "Who knows the former shopkeeper of our dart game?" ”

"I don't know, we've always been dart masters, and when we're in the capital, we listen to the boss's arrangement."

The boss thinks this person is very strange, you are the shopkeeper yourself, how did you take this dart game, who is the former shopkeeper, you ask me?

But it's strange to say, they have been a dart master in the capital for so many years, and they haven't seen the shopkeeper, there is only one person in charge, and then below is the dart head, the dart master, and some housekeeping chores.

Who is the surname of this shopkeeper, they were still informed by the head of the capital before leaving Qizhou.

From this question and answer, Zhou Qi didn't hear the truth or falsehood, his index finger clasped the door of his head, and said: "In this way, then you can go back, go to the capital or find a protégé by yourself, you don't need to stay here anymore." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the person in charge widened, what did he say?

Why do you just drive people away while you talk about it?

"Shopkeeper, I didn't mean to drive you away yesterday!"

For the sake of his own livelihood, the person in charge decided to try harder.

"Think about it, we've been in Qizhou for a while, but we don't have any business, but people from the east and west come to the door and ask the people from the east and west, can you say we don't get annoyed? When the shopkeeper came yesterday, the front foot just walked to ask, and our big man did neat things, and it was really hot to ask this kind of question. ”

Zhou Qi didn't speak, waved his hand, and motioned for him to continue to quibble, anyway, it was a replacement.

The person in charge carefully pondered the situation of yesterday, and his attitude was bad and passive.

immediately added: "Moreover, you also know that our dart master shopkeeper, if we see people coming and other shops seem to nod our heads, people and businessmen are unwilling to hand over the goods to us, our dart master, what we want is to be mighty and domineering, full of majesty, so that people can be afraid!" ”

It's very reasonable, Zhou Qi couldn't say anything for a while.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the person in charge became bolder, raised his nostrils slightly, and said: "Come again, there are too few men in our pious dynasty, if we leave, where will you recruit workers?" ”

"Anything else?" Zhou Qi asked.

The person in charge rolled his eyes, where do you need to add?

After thinking for a while, he shook his head: "It's gone." ”

"You can go."

Zhou Qi stretched out his hand and had already given an order to evict customers.

The person in charge was simply confused, he had already explained everything that should be explained, why did he still drive people away?

"Shopkeeper, I've been a dart head in the capital for more than ten years, you ......"

"Let's go."

Zhou Qi smiled, his patience had been exhausted, and there was no need to ink anymore.

No matter what the situation of this person in charge is, his principles are not suspicious, and he is not suspicious of employing people, he can be so at ease in the shops in Jinfeng County, that is, he can trust the character of the four craftsmen, and the other shops have not caused any accidents at present, probably the people arranged by Liu Sichen, and the two of them have the same opinion on this point.

However, this is clearly not in line with his principles, and he is a former employee to blame.

Since someone is willing to give him these inheritances, it is equivalent to giving away a large amount of property, and in the face of money, he cannot refuse.

It's better to put it in your pocket.

The person in charge was in place for a while, and looking at Zhou Qi's smiling expression, he finally became angry!

"Phew! Let's go! I'm a big man, I have hands and feet and I'm afraid that I can't find a living, if it weren't for your monthly money of three hundred taels, who would want to put you aside!! After saying that, he scolded and walked out.

Zhou Qi was momentarily surprised, this dart master's monthly money is so high?!

But he didn't have time to think about it, Ziheng Street was a certain distance from South Street, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, Zhou Qi beckoned Lao Liu over.

"Uncle Liu, find a few people to follow him, don't smash the shop."

Lao Liu Deling immediately arranged it, and because of the difference in health, he found ten slightly stronger house slaves to rush over.

Among them, Liu Ben was also in the team, but Zhou Qi left him behind, handed him an envelope, and said, "Send this letter to Pei's mansion." ”

A group of house slaves were busy with their own work, and soon the sedan chair of the county guard fell in front of the door again, but today this sedan chair has one more.

The doctor has only arrived now, apparently late......

Zhou Qi didn't expect the county guard's mansion to be so far away, he originally thought that he should have come last night, but unfortunately he didn't.

Fortunately, the house slaves did not receive any injuries, otherwise when the county guard doctor arrived, everything would have been in vain.

But he didn't care about the two people on the city wall, anyway, the county guard knew that he would have to hang up all night, so he could only do it.

It was dawning early this morning, and the county guard asked people to put them down, and the people of the Tu family naturally had nothing to say, so they could only wait at the city wall for a night.

This has been hanging all night, and it is not so easy to look at on the surface.

The whip alone was enough for the two to recuperate for a while.

The county guard was very heartbroken for his sister-in-law, but he didn't have a good seizure, but instead reprimanded the tigress, but he was so straight that he hurriedly asked the house doctor to clean up the wound, and then hurried to Zhou's house.

"Zhou man, this is my little girl, named Dan'er......"

The county keeper had already sat down in the main hall, pointing to the rich girl sitting on the side chair beside him, with a smile on his face.
