Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 98 The New Treasurer
After getting an accurate answer from the guy, Zhao Rang already had a plan in his heart.
Since the other three countries of the Upper Four Kingdoms have to cross Songtao Mountain, there will be no delay in finding this swordsmith. Zhao Rang also wanted to ask the guards if they had heard a few words about the Golden Mountain in the Western Regions, and he intuitively thought that this Songtao Mountain should be inextricably linked with the legendary Golden Mountain in the Western Regions.
It's a pity that the guards don't know.
And for the sake of safety, although the guys in this branch number have locally hired people from the Western Regions, the guards are all Dawei people, who are carefully selected by the general number of Tongbao Qianzhuang and assigned them, and they are rotated every three years. It's just that I'm afraid that after a long time, the shopkeeper and the guards here mingled and became the emperor of the soil. It's good that nothing happens, but an accident will be a devastating blow to the income and credibility of the total number!
There is nowhere to confirm the thoughts in his heart, there is no knife in his hand at the moment, Zhao Rang is a little impatient, and he can't stay here for a quarter of an hour.
After calming down for a while, Zhao Rang learned from the guards that Ximen Dazhuang had been sitting at the counter without the slightest slack, so he felt curious and planned to go and see it with his own eyes. After so many years, it is estimated that this brother is doing serious things for the first time. Such a rare scene, he definitely didn't want to miss it!
Before leaving the stove room, Zhao Rang specially told the old cook to put more eggs when stir-frying leeks. The chickens here are free-range on the hillside, catching insects and eating them themselves, and the yolks are all golden and fragrant, much stronger than those cage-raised chickens that are eaten in the city.
It hasn't been open for three days, and today's semicolon counter is really full of people.
Zhao Rangda saw a water sign more than one person tall standing outside the counter, and an explanation was written on it in two words, Dawei and Western Regions. At a cursory glance, it is generally an explanation of the three-day closure and the "fire". It is very clear that the fire broke out because of the accident of dry weather, but it is a pity that Shen Liushu, the semicolon shopkeeper, unfortunately died in the fire......
The last paragraph is nothing more than some official articles, indicating that the semicolon is operating as usual, business is going on as usual, and the withdrawal is free, and so on.
looked at the people in line, but few of them had anxious looks on their faces, and Zhao Rang was suddenly relieved.
Word of mouth is not built overnight, and of course it won't be too easy to destroy. A house built with a solid foundation will definitely be able to withstand the wind and waves! As long as the day is smooth and the craftsman is hired to slowly repair the burning house, this matter will be completely over.
Walking into the main hall, Ximen sat on the seat of the shopkeeper who originally belonged to Shen Liushu. There is a tea tray in front of him, and there is a tea pet with a toad in his mouth, which will become golden after boiling water.
"Okay, it's a little bit like your father!"
Zhao Rang said jokingly.
Ximen Da Zhuang's cheekiness is only aimed at others, and he has always been like a shy big boy in front of Zhao Rang.
"Brother Jean, in fact, I didn't do anything."
"These guys are very familiar, I asked them what Shen Liushu did before? They told me that Shen Liushu was sitting here drinking tea and then reading the ledger. The ledger that we think is problematic is the same as when we took inventory under the patio before, and it falls directly to the ground, and then the guy will pick it up and review it. ”
Zhao Rang nodded.
The shopkeeper of the money bank represents majesty, and he must not be sloppy at all. He can be kind to the guest officers who come to do business, like a spring breeze, but he must be strict and harsh with the guys, otherwise these guys feel that the shopkeeper is easy to bully, and they join forces to do something, which can really hide from the world.
Therefore, when you are a shopkeeper, you have to practice two kinds of kung fu, one is fiery eyes, and the other is selflessness. As long as you have these two skills, you won't be bullied by anyone, and your business will flourish.
"Are you ready?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Simon Dazhuang said with some embarrassment:
"Everything else is not difficult, it's just that there is a home that is more expensive, and a home is cheaper. But the last thing we lack right now is money, so that's not a problem. ”
Zhao Rangzheng was upset, and he didn't want to listen to him talk like this!
"You just said you can't buy anything!"
Simon Dazhuang replied:
"Knives!"
Zhao Rang didn't write the knife in the list, and now he has a direction, so he is not in a hurry. If you don't want to leave empty-handed, you can grab a knife from the semicolon guard first. It's not that handy, but it's better than nothing.
"I already have a number of knives, if everything else is ready, you can send the guys to the cross-courtyard where we live, and let Yuan Kexin and the proprietress clean up in different categories, and it's time to go!"
When Ximen Dazhuang heard the departure, he stood up with his body rubbed and asked excitedly:
"Brother Jean, are we going to Jinyinhai? Go kill the monster and grab the Tenmaru?! ”
His voice was so loud that it attracted the squint of many guests and men.
The sea of gold and silver in the Western Regions is a legend that everyone knows and everyone knows. As for monsters, they can cause a sensation anywhere!
Zhao Rang was silent, and Ximen Dazhuang also realized what was wrong with him just now, sat down slowly, and poured half a pot of boiling water on the tea pet. The toad immediately glowed with golden light!
I don't know if it's a true spirit or a coincidence.
Just as the toad was about to dim again, a fellow suddenly brought over an account book! It turned out that there was a new customer who deposited 50,000 taels of silver in the semicolon in one go!
If you deposit more than 10,000 taels at a time, according to the rules of Tongbao Money, you have to serve tea in person by the shopkeeper. But Simon Dazhuang's identity is outstanding, so the guy couldn't get it for a while, so he had to come to ask for instructions in person.
"Your father also made it by serving tea and pouring water!"
Looking at Ximen Dazhuang's eyes, Zhao Rang knew that he was asking what he meant.
He decided in his heart that he would not look down on the fifty thousand taels of silver......
What is it, save some money, you have to let me serve?
But Zhao Rang told him to sing the song of which mountain he was, and now that he is sitting in the position of the shopkeeper, he has to follow the rules of the money village to do the shopkeeper's business!
Simon Dazhuang sighed and went very reluctantly.
Zhao Rang called a guy who had just finished his work, and asked about the situation in Songtao Mountain, and found that there was no discrepancy with what the guards said, and he felt a little more sure at the moment.
Since he came out of Yangguan, Zhao Rang has a feeling that he is the enemy of the world. Except for the few people around him, he couldn't trust anyone. Even Yuan Mingkong didn't tell him his real purpose before, which was to find medicine for his sister.
It is related to the direction of all the follow-ups, and Zhao Rang must be cautious.
After the conversation, Simon Dazhuang came back with a teacup.
Against the backdrop of his fan-sized palm, the teacup was extremely small, not enough for him to drink in one gulp.
"Brother Jean, do you know who is coming?"
"I only know that I am a rich man, anyway, I don't have 50,000 taels of silver!"
After that, Zhao Rang sighed.
Simon Da Zhuang frowned and continued to ask:
"If you knew who he was, you wouldn't say that!"
"What, there's someone from your house?"
Zhao Rang said casually, but he didn't expect Ximen to nod violently!
"I knew that Brother Jean must have figured it out, and every day there are fairies around you, isn't it easy to guess someone?"
The two of them were talking lively, and a person walked beside them, and the facial features on his face were almost carved out of the same mold as Ximen Dazhuang. The difference is that the figures are very different, almost one day and one place. Simon was strong and strong, like a brute bull, but this one was so thin that he had three tendons and his head was blown away when the wind was strong.
However, from the characteristics of his facial features, Zhao Rang still saw at a glance that he was also from the Ximen family.
The people in their family, as long as they are descendants of the Simon family, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, have round and full noses. Like the person in the book, he is either rich or prosperous, and the Simon family is considered to be a complete one.
"My brother is not sensible, so Zhao Gongzi bothered! When he returns to the north in the future, the head of the family has a saying that he must personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhao Gongzi, and hold a banquet to make amends! ”
This person is the brother of Ximen Dazhuang, and he didn't know what his specific name was Zhao Rang, so he called him Ximen Gongzi, and said a few polite words before chatting about business.
"As soon as my brother went out, the head of the family knew that it was useless to persuade him and was worried about his safety, so he sent someone to accompany him all the way."
When Simon Dazhuang heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet:
"This old man! Spy on me! ”
This Ximen son is old and serious, and he has the demeanor of Ximen's father, so he is not in a hurry, and waits for his younger brother to finish his hair, and then continues to continue with Zhao Rang unhurriedly:
"The head of the family was relieved when he learned that his brother had met with Zhao Gongzi. Moreover, the head of the family knew that Zhao Gongzi's martial arts cultivation was profound, and his mind was close, and if he let people follow him, he was afraid that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, and he thought that there was a Qianzhuang branch in Chagan Tuoluogai, and he would definitely be able to take care of it, so he withdrew the people who accompanied him. ”
Zhao Rang suddenly realized.
Let's just say that how could his Ximen family let Ximen Dazhuang run out by himself and run so far, it turned out that his every move was under the watchful eye of the family, then it is not strange.
"You can't be the person with you, right?"
Zhao Rang asked.
The Ximen boy smiled and replied:
"I'm one of them. But after receiving an order from the head of the house to withdraw, I returned to the city of King Lanmo. Zhao Gongzi must know that our Ximen family still has business dealings with Mrs. Wang. ”
"Is Third Master Wang okay?"
Ximen Gongzi's face was a little solemn and said:
"The best Lang Zhong and many rare medicinal herbs have been sent from the family, and at the moment they can be regarded as equal to the toxins in the body. However, if you want to completely detoxify, you can't do it, so you can only hang on with a breath. ”
"As for me coming here today, I also heard from a friend that something happened in the semicolon, and they were closed for three days. Da Zhuang is his younger brother, so there is nothing to say. If Zhao Gongzi had anything to do in the semicolon of my family's money village, the head of the family would have no shame to see the head of the Zhao family in the future, so he hurried from the King City of Lanmo! ”
After saying that, Ximen Gongzi smiled, and Zhao Rang also laughed twice.
Regarding Shen Liushu's various things, the two of them did not mention it tacitly. The ugliness of the family is not publicized, even if Zhao Rang has experienced all of it, and repeating it again, it will make the Ximen family have a dull face.
"During this transition period, I will be the shopkeeper of the semicolon here, and Zhao Gongzi can handle important matters with his friends!"
After speaking, he took out a flying money letter from his sleeve, which was the fifty thousand taels of silver he had just deposited into the stall in his personal name.
"Knowing that Zhao Gongzi and his friends are doing great things that are beneficial to the world, our family master also wants to do his part, please Zhao Gongzi must accept it! In addition, our family master still wants to bother Zhao Gongzi, and wait for him to say hello to your two friends! ”
