Chapter 23, Rent Increase
As soon as the New Year passed, the entire Black Mountain Mansion became busy again, with merchants and hawkers, three religions and nine streams, and wealthy merchants······
On the streets, there are more and more people coming and going.
Xu had just left home not long ago, and several people didn't miss their families too much, so they plunged into busyness.
With the increase in the flow of people, the number of customers who can pull to learn arrows has also increased, Wang Heihou, Zhao Hu, and Niu Dazhuang have to go back and forth several times almost every day, taking people to watch the venue for practicing archery, as well as the master who coaches arrows.
Many people have nothing to say about the venue, but when they see Lu Changsheng's thin body and young face, they can't help but question it.
Fortunately, at the beginning of spring, some students who had paid long-term tuition fees returned one after another, so that these customers had some confidence in their hearts, so they did not turn around and leave immediately.
And Lu Changsheng didn't talk much nonsense, he took a bow and pulled arrows, and the arrows hit the target.
This person's previous appearance is different from his usual training, the former needs a little shock, therefore, when archery, Lu Changsheng will take a few more steps forward, which is a few meters less than when he usually practices archery, and his accuracy is naturally higher than when he usually practices archery.
Those customers who hesitated in their hearts were immediately convinced and paid the money.
By February, business was booming.
Zhao Hu and the others were completely busy, so they could only recruit a few more people, but these later people could not participate in the dividends, but only received a monthly salary.
Because there were too many people, several people summed it up, and set up a courtyard next door as an archery training ground to settle those who had no place to practice archery.
732 A.D., 2nd month.
God, a great drought!
The entire Black Mountain Mansion did not feel a trace of spring in a radius of hundreds of miles, and just after the cold winter, the originally mild sun showed a hideous face and scorched the earth.
The people who came and went seemed to have become much more impatient.
"I heard that over there in Tonghe Mansion, someone collided with the officers and soldiers, and many people died!"
"How daring! Even the officers and soldiers dare to collide? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? However, the officers and soldiers of Natonghe Mansion were also not beaten, and I heard that many officers and soldiers died! Unlike our Montenegrin Mansion, those Montenegrin troops, but they look mighty~"
"That's natural, my Black Mountain Mansion has Lord Xu Yuan in charge, naturally it is not comparable to Tonghe Mansion!"
······
At the Xingjiao Inn, a group of people get together to chat, and a pot of wine can be chatting for a long time.
Lu Changsheng came out to learn words from Ma Xuncai, listened for a while, and saw that the topic had turned elsewhere, so he left with grace.
"There was no sign of rain on this day, and it will be difficult to endure later!"
At this moment, it was close to night, and the patrolling Montenegrin army walked by with heavy steps.
The armament of the Montenegrin army is okay, and seeing that there is a bad breath of its own, one person walked out of the team and entered the walking inn.
After a while, there was the sound of the trumpet of the inn closing.
"It's curfew time, go back and stay honest!"
Lu Changsheng trotted back to the courtyard.
"Recently, there has been some unpeace, I heard that there is a group of bandits in the Black Mountain Mansion to make trouble, yesterday there was a curfew order in the city, I didn't expect that it would affect us here!"
After a while, Zhao Hu and Wang Heihou also returned.
The two of them have been very diligent lately, and most of these customers are pulled by the two of them.
In contrast, those who have just been recruited do not perform as well as they do.
After dinner, a few people entered a side room and sat down according to the old rules.
Today is the second day of the new year, which is the day when several people set the account.
Lu Changsheng took out the prepared bag.
"Whoa!"
Although he was careful, there was too much money in the bag, and there was inevitably a collision sound.
The eyes of several people lit up with deep anticipation.
"How much?"
Zhao Hu couldn't wait to swallow his saliva.
In the past, every time he made an order, he would deliberately write it down, and if the inventory was wrong, he could see it at a glance.
Later, it was found that for a few months, Lu Changsheng's accounts were done without the slightest mistake, so he was completely relieved.
Coupled with the fact that this month has been very busy, I subconsciously ignored this matter.
Seeing that everyone was looking at it expectantly, Lu Changsheng suddenly had the idea of selling Guanzi.
"Guess what!"
"800 coppers?" Wang Hei Monkey cautiously probed.
This speculation is actually not small, and when the accounts were taken last month, the income was only 600 coppers, more than 100 more than the previous year.
No, Lu Changsheng shook his head.
"A tael of silver!" Zhao Hu's eyes lit up and said.
Seeing that Lu Changsheng was still shaking his head, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
However, a tael of silver is indeed a lot!
The number he thought in his heart should be eight hundred to nine hundred coppers.
If Lu Changsheng hadn't denied Wang Heihou's guess, he wouldn't have said a tael of silver.
Seeing that everyone's mood was a little down, Lu Changsheng did not continue to hide.
"Last month's income, a total of 1 tael and 105 copper!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole room was instantly quiet!
For a long time -
"Good! Very good! Zhao Hu took a deep breath and said slowly.
It's just that the voice sounded with a slight tremor.
······
"It takes less than three years to earn 300 copper and 10 taels of silver a month!"
After finishing the accounts, Lu Changsheng sat in the courtyard, calculated in his heart, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable.
Wang Hei Monkey's reduced share was added to himself and Zhao Hu, so the money was much more.
I don't know if it's because of the awakening of this somewhat peculiar golden finger, or because of the two lives, Lu Changsheng's mentality has become much more stable.
"As long as there is progress, it is good!"
Compared to others, he is much better, and there is nothing unsatisfying.
The next day, everyone had a hearty lunch, and then Zhao Hu led Wang Heihou out of the door to pay the rent.
Now there is only Lu Changsheng, an archery teacher in the courtyard, and many students know that he is good at archery, and they only recognize him.
Therefore, I couldn't leave at all, so I simply handed over the matter of paying rent to Zhao Hu and Wang Heihou.
No, I didn't see the two of them for a whole afternoon.
"Little master, let's go back first!"
"Okay! Be careful on the road! Lu Changsheng sent the students out, and was about to turn around and go back, when he suddenly saw Zhao Hu and Wang Heihou walking over with gloomy faces.
After entering the house, Lu Changsheng asked, "What happened?" ”
"Fuck bitch! That old puppet wants to increase the rent! Zhao Hu scolded.
"How much?"
"100 copper for a yard, it adds up to 200 copper!" Zhao Hu said.
Lu Changsheng's face also sank, he didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite.
"What do you say? Did you promise him? ”
Zhao Hu sneered and said, "How is it possible!" He didn't do anything, he wanted to divide one-fifth, but he Li Deyin thought of beauty! I complained to him and reduced it to 50 copper for a yard! ”
"But these little gangs are not so particular, once they see the target, they will definitely get worse in the future!"
Lu Changsheng nodded, agreeing with this point of view very much.
"So what do we do?" Wang Heihou looked anxious.
He is looking forward to this work to save money for himself and marry a daughter-in-law.
Zhao Hu's eyes on the side were slightly sharpened.
"Fuck bitch, I've waited for more than ten years before I got this opportunity, he Li Deyin dares to mess with me, I'll kill him!"
