Chapter 772: The Chicken That Lays Golden Eggs
Ah, it would be nice if the second sister was here," he walked peacefully, and he didn't want to see you so sad. ”
Both sentences were stumbling, and he wanted to slap himself. I have been reading with the little master for so long, and I hate less when the book is used!
He quickly changed the subject: "By the way, you, what are you going to do next?"
Zhang Hancui was dazed, and it took a long time before she said astringently: "I, I don't know." "My father died, and she was left without relatives in this world, and she was forced to leave home. In Shengyi, where she is unfamiliar with life, she doesn't know where she should go. "Maybe go back to your old business, save some money in Shengyi and go back. ”
"Yes, you have the craft. Huang Da remembered that the fat powder she made was very fragrant, and the second sister was full of praise.
"You, if you don't have a place to go, oh I mean, if you don't think about a place to stay for a while......" Huang Da coughed vigorously, "Let's go to the Invitation Garden." ”
Zhang Hancui waved his hand: "How can it be done, there is ...... there"
"The most ordinary inn in Shengyi, it costs forty yuan a night, and I don't know who the neighbors are. Huang Da finally straightened his tongue and began to analyze the benefits and disadvantages for her, "If you want to go back to Sanjiao Town, the road is long, and it is even more unsafe for the eldest girl to walk alone." I wanted to add an adjective "Jiao Didi" to emphasize it, but I was afraid that it would backfire, so I forgot it.
He said that Zhang Hancui was embarrassed, and the latter opened his mouth and was speechless.
No matter how practical the problem is, it is nothing more than the word "money".
She has a gambling father, and she doesn't have a lot of money. Will she be able to make it back to Sanjiao Town?
Besides, her father is gone, so what reason does she have to go back to town?
The street was full of traffic and people, but Zhang Hancui was embarrassed that she had nowhere to stay.
Huang laughed and said, "There are so many guest rooms in Inviting Jingyuan, and they are empty to feed mosquitoes." You're here, and you're still a little popular. ”
Feed the mosquitoes? Zhang Hancui listened to him interestingly, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. "You don't have to be generous to others, that's Yan Gongzi's garden. ”
"My master has already nodded, you can go to the Invitation Garden to live before you have a better place to go. ”
People are poor and short-minded, Zhang Hancui is a little moved.
Huang Da hit the iron while it was hot: "We have just moved into the Invitation Garden, there is a shortage of manpower, if you can come to help, the salary will not be short, it is better than going outside to find a job." ”
Zhang Hancui took a deep breath and saluted him ninety-degree: "Brother Huang, you treat me too well." If Hancui can reciprocate, please feel free to speak. ”
Huang Da rubbed his hands: "No, no, you're too outward, I don't want yours, your ......" He wanted to pat his chest and say that he didn't want Xiaocui's return, but he was reluctant to say it seriously, so he had to vaguely go over, "Okay, let's go." ”
Zhang Hancui only had a small burden with him, and nothing else, so he returned to the Invitation Garden with him.

Since Yan Saburo decided to settle down in Shengyi for the time being, the weasel family began to be busy.
In the past few years, Yan Saburo has been quite fruitful in terms of the income from his business in Chunming City and the profits from the trading of the Tibetan State. And the country has just experienced years of war and the Shengyi change a few years ago, and the officials and magnates have been purged, and their net worth is far inferior to that of other countries. The wealth in Yan Saburo's hands is also above the average in Shengyi.
Before he left Chunmingcheng, he sold most of his property, and when he came to Shengyi, he had to start repurchasing. If you want to make money these days, you can't just take money and lend. What's more, he is now about to open up the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and the medicine he uses is so many and good, the money spent on the medicine every day is almost three hundred taels of silver, not counting the tendon and vein quenching every seven days.
Nearly 10,000 taels of expenditure a month, which has exceeded many high-ranking households.
According to Huang He's suggestion, Yan Saburo first took down ten shops in the city, seven were medicine stores, and three were kept as the façade of the Chamber of Commerce. He was originally in Chunming City to operate these two things, and he was familiar with them. And Huang Er's return to Chunming City this time will also bring some of the available talents to Shengyi.
In addition, Yan Saburo also has to earn a large number of paddy fields, shops, and Zhuangzi. Excellent real estate can provide a stable income every year, whether it is Chunmingcheng or Shengyi.
At this point, the trouble that Yan Saburo had expected appeared.
One is that no one is available. At present, he has brought over the weasel family from Chunming City, and when Huang Er brings the old man into Shengyi again, it will be more than two months later.
The second is that I am a newcomer and can't figure out the depth of Shengyi. Yan Saburo had entered Shengyi three times before, but they all came for strategic war preparations, only looking at the fundamentals under the big pattern, and never carefully examined where the store was prosperous and whose Zhuangzi had a good harvest......
He also understands that these are not easy to solve for a while, so he will put them aside first and slowly find a way.
The next day, Lu Wen sent someone to give a gift first.
His injuries were lighter than Yan Saburo's, but his vitality seemed to be not as vigorous as that of a young man, and his recovery was a little slower.
Until now, the imperial doctor has not allowed him to go out. Lu Wenxian learned that Yan Saburo had arrived in the national capital, so he had to send someone to send a post to pay a visit.
The two sides have crossed paths before, and Yan Saburo always doesn't want his housekeeper to shut up. The people who came laughed and said a lot of good things, and then presented a gift list, saying that General Lu learned that Yan Saburo had moved to Shengyi, and he was very happy to move.
To put it bluntly, gift-giving.
Even if Yan Saburo is now full of money, he can't help but raise his eyebrows when he sees the gift list, and secretly says that this General Lu is actually not as straightforward as he looks. The white cat looked at the gift list in his arms, and was even more happy to straighten his beard: "Not bad, this half-old man is very good, he has eyesight!"
Lu Fu sent Yan Saburo 100 acres of good paddy fields, two Zhuangzi in the western suburbs of Shengyi, as well as Donglin Restaurant and an embroidery workshop in Dongyuan. Donglin Restaurant is a time-honored brand in Shengyi, with a history of 60 years, even during the war three years ago, it was often full of friends, and it was a real golden signboard.
Over the years, it has contributed a lot of income to the Lu government. It is no exaggeration to say that it supplies at least 30% of the expenses of Lu Mansion, and I can't imagine that Lu Wen is willing to take it out as a gift first.
Although it is convenient to send money and goods, it is not distracting. Lu Wenxian believed that there were many people who wanted to give gifts to Yan Saburo, and he had to give them if he wanted to give them. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and the golden egg is not as sincere as the hen that lays the golden egg.
Yan Saburo helped Lu Wen save Princess Xuanping first and protect his life, which is a great kindness; and Yan Saburo has the attention of the protector of the country and the king of Wei, if he intends to enter the office, he is likely to be a big celebrity in the officialdom. Lu Wen is willing to invest in the early stage, and there will always be a return later.
The young man folded the gift list neatly, and said to the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion with a smile: "I accepted it, please convey my thanks to General Lu." ”
