Kang Youfu was already grateful to Zhu Shencone, and he originally wanted to break through by himself, so as soon as Zhu Shencone mentioned this, Kang Youfu agreed without saying a word.

Seeing Kang Youfu agreeing, Zhu Shencone was happy, and immediately told him about the situation of the store, and the two parties agreed to officially take over the store after the New Year.

On the surface, the store will be owned by Kang Youfu, but in fact, Zhu Shencone is the real owner, and Kang Youfu is the actual shopkeeper who takes a part of this transaction. This arrangement moved Kang Youfu even more, trusting him so much that he didn't do a good job, in order to repay Zhu Shencone for his kindness, can he still be considered a person?

Zhu Shencone's generous entrustment made Kang Youfu have the idea of dying as a confidant, looking at his face flushed with excitement, Zhu Shencone smiled and encouraged him a few words, and at the same time explained a lot of things.

After chatting, Zhu Shencone didn't sit down much, got up and left first.

Kang Youfu stood up respectfully, saluted Zhu Shencone, and saw Zhu Shencone's figure leaving, he was very excited in his heart, he never thought that he was an ordinary person who bought tofu a moment ago, but now he has an official salt shop, and Zhu Shencone also trusts him to hand over all the management power.

On the way back, Zhu Shencone was in a very good mood.

The collapse of the Liu family not only solved the problem of salt roads in the state, but he also got what he needed from the Liu family's industry.

In addition, recruiting Kang Youfu for his own use is also a huge gain, Kang Youfu is a talent, and it is also a talent that Zhu Shencone urgently needs now.

Since it is a talent, it must be reused, not only to give a certain degree of autonomy, but also to give enough benefits.

Grace alone cannot last long, but in business, benefits are eternal. This is also the reason why Zhu Shencone not only made Kang Youfu the big shopkeeper, but also gave him a component very generously.

But people's hearts will also change, and Zhu Shencone also understands this truth. No one can guarantee whether the current Kang Youfu will still be loyal to him in the future, which Zhu Shencone knows very well. Therefore, there are still necessary checks and balances, even if he makes Kang Youfu the big shopkeeper and gives it back, there must still be his own people in the store, this is not that he does not believe in Kang Youfu, this is a necessary arrangement, even if Kang Youfu knows that not only will he not have other ideas, but he will feel a lot more at ease.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and people's hearts are the most difficult thing in the world to test, so Zhu Shencone will never test people's hearts, let alone do some tricks to tempt his subordinates to test their loyalty. Because he knows very well that such an act may seem clever, but it is actually the most stupid thing to do.

On the contrary, it is far more appropriate to establish rules and balance the use of people to ensure that it is far more appropriate than to test people's hearts. Just like he has made Kang Youfu the big shopkeeper now, but at the same time, he will also arrange people from Wangjia Village to enter the store in the later stage, as the second shopkeeper or buddy, etc.

Besides, what if you betray yourself in the future? Zhu Shencone can not only help him up today, but also let him have nothing. The Liu family is like this, isn't it also gone? What is a mere blessing? Zhu Shencone was not worried about this at all.

In the sound of firecrackers, the year has finally passed, and the new year will also come as promised.

This year, Zhu Shen's family can be regarded as having a good year, because the affairs of the Liu family are in a uproar in Pingyang Mansion, and the Zhang family, who doesn't go out much, has also heard about it.

For this reason, Zhu Shencone found a suitable reason, and said that he had contributed to the lawsuit of the Liu family on behalf of the General's Mansion, and took out one hundred taels of silver to the Zhang family as a family. Seeing that he could get back so much silver, Zhang's was surprised and happy, the family has been living a tight life all these years, and now there is finally such a large amount of money, which is really an unexpected surprise.

Although he had money, Zhang didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, except for adding some necessary daily necessities to his family because of the Chinese New Year, and said that he would go to the cloth village to pull some cloth and plan to make a new dress for Zhu Shencheng, Zhang was ready to save the other money for the time being.

If it weren't for Zhu Shenchong forcing Zhang to pull more cloth, how could the family of three wear new clothes by themselves during the Chinese New Year? Zhang's own and Qiao'er's new clothes should also be made, and he can't always wear old clothes in the New Year, otherwise he would rather not want to. really couldn't beat Zhu Shencone, and Zhang had no choice but to rely on him and sew a new dress for Zhu Shencone, Qiao'er, and himself.

In addition to these, Zhang and Zhu Shencone discussed, the family now has some money, but the future life will have to be lived after all. After a few days, the Zhang family wants to use the silver to buy some land outside the city, and after having the land, rent it out to collect some rent for the seeds, and the family can also have a stable income.

Regarding Zhang's plan, Zhu Shencone smiled and said of course there is no problem, everything is up to his sister-in-law.

Zhang was very happy, she said that these days she would inquire who had suitable land to sell, ask what the price was, and then tell Zhu Shencone after it was confirmed.

After saying this, Zhang mentioned Zhu Shencone's lifelong event again. Seeing that the New Year is coming, Zhu Shencone is also a year older, and it is really unreasonable for a man of his age not to get married, Zhang told Zhu Shencone that he had to think about this matter, and asked Zhu Shencone what his plans were.

"Sister-in-law, why did you mention this?"

"The eldest sister-in-law is the mother, your father and brother are gone, and this family has been supported by you all these years, if it weren't for the family, you would have gotten married a long time ago according to your age. Right now, you're the only man left in our Zhu family, you can't go on like this forever, right? Why can't this be mentioned? Zhang said seriously.

Stretching out his hand and scratching his head, Zhu Shencone smiled awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, let's talk about this matter slowly, the family has just improved, and Qiao'er is still young, why don't you wait a few years to do it?" ”

"In a few years? What nonsense? Zhang glanced at Zhu Shencone, and couldn't help but admonish: "How old are you?" At your brother's age, we've been married for a few days. The elders say that the man should marry and the woman should get married, our Zhu family is just you a man now, you don't get married, is it possible to live like this in the future? ”

"Qiao'er is a daughter, and her daughter will be a foreign surname after all, and our Zhu family will have to rely on you to pass on the ancestry!"

"In the past few days, I have been dreaming of your brother, and your brother asked me in my dream how my family is doing, and how are you? Have you become a parent? Is the old Zhu family ...... now that they have a queen? As she spoke, Zhang's eyes were a little moist, she raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said seriously: "Uncle, you will listen to me about this matter, and when the spring opens, I will go to the matchmaker and ask if there is a suitable daughter in the family...... That's right! Do you like that? You may wish to talk to me privately, and I can help you pick ...... carefully. ”

Listening to Zhang's words, Zhu Shencone couldn't help but be moved, although they were of the same age, Zhang's was still younger than himself. But just like what Zhang said, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, her father and brother have passed away, and their family of three has relied on each other for all these years, which is really not easy.

When Zhang talks about sadness, the appearance of tears in his eyes is really heart-wrenching. Zhu Shen's heart was sour, but at the same time, he also had pity. He really wanted to tell Zhang's that he didn't need to find anything else, just find a woman like Zhang's, but when these words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

After so many years, he knows very well Zhang's character, Zhang is a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is his sister-in-law, this kind of thing must not be spoken, otherwise it will be misunderstood by Zhang.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhu Shencone didn't have the idea of getting married at this time, not to mention that he still had a lot of things to do when the spring began, in addition to the arrangement of the salt shop, there were also arrangements for the salt business, including Li Hu on Sheep's Head Mountain, and so on.

In addition, Zhu Shencone also plans to go to the north after March, which has been scheduled for a long time.

The purpose of going to the north this time is not only my original consideration, but also the new idea after taking over this salt shop. In this way, he can't just leave his business and marry a woman he has never met and doesn't know, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Shencone comforted Zhang's two sentences, telling her that he had the bottom of his heart about this matter, but it was impossible to wait for the beginning of spring, he had a lot of things to do after the beginning of spring, and he had to prepare to go away from home. However, he promised Zhang that he would keep this matter in mind and find time to solve it when he came back from a long trip, so that Zhang would not have to worry.

Hearing Zhu Shencone say this, Zhang's was also a little helpless, but she didn't ask Zhu Shencone what he was going to go out of and where he was going this time. Zhang never asked these questions, because she knew that as a man, Zhu Shencone had her own things to do, although she didn't know what Zhu Shencone had often left Pingyang Mansion over the years and mysteriously went out to do, but she knew in her heart that no matter what Zhu Shencone did, it was for their family.
