Chapter 42 Someone from the capital

"Open one," Zhang Qian asked with some confusion.

"Yes, let's start with one, and then open one in every county in the entire state," Wang Gang said.

"There are no cloth factories in the state, and the production of cotton and flax is insufficient," Zhang Qian said.

"If this student solves the problem, there will be enough cloth supply," Wang Gang said.

"Oh, that's easy, but who Ziyi is going to let be in charge of this matter" Zhang Qian smiled and looked at Wang Gang with a smile.

"The students think that Sister Yue'er and Sister Red Sleeves are quite suitable," Wang Gang said carefully.

Zhang Qian's smile gradually froze, and he suddenly said angrily.

"Wang Ziyi, what do you want?"

Wang Gang also thought that Zhang Qian might oppose Zhang Yue'er's opening of the cloth line, but he didn't expect such a big anger.

"Sir, the students just want the people of Bingzhou to be able to put on clothes," Wang Gang said firmly in the face of Zhang Qian's angry gaze.

"I asked you why you let the little girl be in charge of this matter, you have a marriage contract with the little girl, if you don't want to marry, you can return the letter of appointment, don't insult me," Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Gang and said.

"I, Zhang Qian, asked myself if I took you well, and I also worked hard for the entire Yanmen County, you said, why do you want to be like this."

"Sir, you misunderstood the student, thinking that I am just a down-and-out person, but fortunately Mr. took me in, so I am where I am today. Sister Yue'er is gentle and considerate, and her appearance is extraordinary, I want to marry her in my dreams."

After Wang Gang finished speaking, his eyes were full of tears.

"Let's go, I'll take Yue'er back to Jinyang tomorrow" Zhang Qian finished speaking, waving his hand to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang was about to speak, when the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and Zhang Yue'er and Red Sleeves walked in.

Zhang Yue'er pounced and knelt in front of Zhang Qian and said

"Daddy, you misunderstood my brother"

Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, and the red sleeves next to him also had red eyes and kept whimpering.

Zhang Qian picked up his daughter, glanced at Wang Gang, and saw that Wang Gang's eyes were also red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, and he said in a softened tone.

"Ziyi, tell me what you think"

"First of all, we must solve the problem of dressing the people of Yanmen County, and then we can earn some silver taels, we can't rely on the Wang family for everything, our family must also have its own business." Wang Gang said calmly.

After all, in this society, without money, doing a lot of things will be constrained, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"There are not many students who can rest assured now, and Sister Yue'er is one of them"

Zhang Qian heard Wang Gang finish speaking, although he felt that what Wang Gang said made some sense, but he still felt that it was inappropriate and spoke.

"Yue'er hasn't come out of the cabinet yet, and it's too unreasonable to show up in the market"

"Sir, for the sake of a mere name, you can't bear to see the poor people of Yanmen County unclothed," Wang Gang said.

He knew that Zhang Qian would definitely consider the people of Yanmen County.

"Daddy, Yue'er also wants to do something for the people of Yanmen, and beg Daddy to fulfill it," Zhang Yue'er said hurriedly.

Seeing that Zhang Qian hadn't spit out yet, Wang Gang hurriedly said

"If Mr. is still not at ease, I will marry Yue'er sister tomorrow"

"Nonsense, how can marriage be a child's play." Zhang Qian snorted coldly and said.

Wang Gang suddenly knelt on the ground, raised his right hand and said.

"My king just swore today, if he has two hearts, he will face Qin and Duchu. If he violates his oath, the heavens will not bless him, and he will die one day......" Wang Gang suddenly felt a burst of softness.

saw Zhang Yue'er reaching out to cover his mouth, shaking her head at him with tears in her eyes, and the red sleeves next to her were also frightened.

Zhang Qian stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Gang up and said.

"Ziyi, don't be like this"

After looking at Yue'er, she sighed and said.

"It is inevitable that a man will have three wives and four concubines, as long as you marry Yue'er, you will not be blamed as a teacher, don't talk nonsense"

Zhang Yue'er next to her also lowered her head with a blushing face, but her red sleeves seemed to have untied the knot.

"Uncle, just promise me and Sister Yue'er to open a cloth shop" Red Sleeves pulled Zhang Qian's sleeve and kept shaking.

"Okay, the old man agreed" After speaking, he glanced at Wang Gang, and there was still some residual anger.

Red Sleeves heard Zhang Qian's agreement, and hugged Zhang Yue'er, and the two comforted each other.

"Please also give Mr. a name," Wang Gang said with a salute to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian thought for a while and said

"Let's call it the Late Winter Cloth Shop"

On this day, the county seat of Daixian County was a lot more lively, and several carriages came to the south gate. Stacks of cotton and linen were unloaded from the cart and piled up at the door of the empty house.

Then two picturesque women stood at the door, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

Gradually, someone came forward to inquire and learned that it was a newly opened cloth shop, and the price was very cheap. I bought some, and slowly more and more people came to buy cloth, and gradually there was a long queue.

Zhang Yue'er and Red Sleeves were busy sweating profusely, looking at the team that couldn't see the end at a glance. Wang Gang also joined the ranks of selling cloth.

At the end of the day, the three of them collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

The slender fingers of the red sleeves kept playing with the copper coins, and there was a clanging sound.

"I've never seen so many copper coins, so let's count them and see how many they've sold," Red Sleeves said, looking at half of the wooden box of copper coins.

The three of them regained their spirits and began to count the copper coins.

It wasn't until the treetops of the moon that the three of them finished counting.

"Ah, there are 115,300 yuan in total," Zhang Yue'er said.

"You can buy lots and lots of delicious food," Redsleeves said.

Wang Gang said as he watched the two of them discuss what to buy.

"These are used as principal, and in the future, we will have to buy silk from the Central Plains, and we will have to hire helpers to open new shops in brocade, and this money is far from enough."

"Ah, that's not enough," Red Sleeves asked, looking at the pile of copper coins, puzzled.

"Yes," Zhang Yue'er also said.

"Then we will continue to sell the remaining cloth tomorrow and save more copper coins, and I will be the richest man," Red Sleeves raised his small hand and said firmly.

In the next few days, the three of them have been busy working in the cloth shop in late winter, but the people who came to buy cloth gradually decreased in the next few days, and there were not many of the five carts of cloth brought by Wang Gang, so they had to take Zhang Liao back to Ningwu Pass again, and exchanged a few carts of cotton cloth and linen cloth.

When Wang Gang returned to the Daixian Mansion again, he saw a luxurious carriage parked at the door, and several guards surrounded the mansion.

Wang Gang and Zhang Liao hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation and learned that it was someone from Luoyang City. When I walked into the courtyard, I saw a white middle-aged man wearing the clothes of an internal servant, standing there, and Zhang Qian next to him kept talking about something.

Seeing Wang Gang walk in, Zhang Qian hurriedly spoke.

"Wang Junshou, this is Guo Sheng, a regular servant from the capital, who came to spread His Majesty's will"

Wang Gang was stunned for a moment, what did the emperor give him an order, but he still said with a smile.

"Lord Guo is tired from the journey, please go into the room to rest"

Guo Sheng looked Wang Gang up and down, and said in a somewhat shrill voice.

"It's really terrifying, Wang Taishou is young and promising, and he has the trust of His Majesty, and his future is limitless, so he should serve the country. Revitalization of the Han Dynasty"
