Jinyi champion

Chapter 244 Crying Poor
Tang Yin left Anlu temporarily.

Whether you want to come back, and even if you want to come back but whether you can make it because of family affairs, are two different things.

Zhu Hao felt that Tang Yin left in a hurry this time, or maybe something happened to his relatives in his hometown, but Tang Yin didn't want to tell the real purpose of this trip.

Or as the saying goes, just because I have been away from home for a long time, I want to go back and have a look.

Inside the palace.

Zhu Hao lives as before.

Once Tang Yin left, there was no mediator in the conflict between Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Zuo, and quarrels broke out between the palace chief Shi Si and Cheng Feng Si from time to time, but it didn't appear on the surface.

Sui Gongyan re-entered the palace to teach.

This time when Sui Gongyan came back, he was obviously more focused on teaching than before, but the quality of his teaching...was too lackluster.

Naturally, Zhu Hao would not hand over his teaching plans to Sui Gongyan. Sui Gongyan was a representative of the old-school Confucian scholars, and the content taught in class was just for a few children to memorize by rote. I always like to drag words to show my profound knowledge.

The final result...

Not to mention that Zhu San and Lu Bing couldn't understand, even Zhu Si, Yuan Rulin and Jing Hong were confused, and Zhu Hao didn't even bother to listen.

"Xiaosi, let's go out and play Cuju."

After a class that day, Sui Gongyan was invited by Yuan Zonggao to drink, and the children could finally rest.

Zhu San asked his younger brother to go to Cuju, but Zhu Si lay there motionless and murmured, "No, I'm too tired, let me take it easy."

Zhu San came over and patted his younger brother's head, and asked, "What's the matter? Are you sick?"

Zhu Si frowned: "I don't understand what Mr. is talking about at all, do you understand?"

"Tch, why am I listening to that? What he said... I didn't listen at all, I was secretly playing with paper balls... Mr. Sui is good, that is, he doesn't even look at whether we are listening to the class... This point Mr. Lu is much better than him."

Sui Gongyan only cared about what he said, and didn't care what the children below were doing, or whether they understood it or not.

Zhu San used to go to class just to dawdle like this, and just played around if he didn't understand what he heard. Sui Gongyan never asked questions, so naturally he couldn't find out.

On the contrary, although Tang Yin is usually a big bastard in class, he will observe the students' reactions from time to time, and check whether the children have mastered the content he taught through their eyes and expressions.

Except for Zhu Hao's petty tricks, he has a sharp eye and a quick hand, and he will definitely correct them as soon as possible.

Zhu Si wept bitterly: "When will Mr. Lu come back?"

Then, including Jinghong, Yuan Rulin and Lu Bing, they all looked at Zhu Hao who was reading a book there.

For Zhu Hao...

Sui Gongyan being a teacher didn't have much impact on his life. He guessed that even if he didn't come to class, Sui Gongyan wouldn't bother to talk to him. In Sui Gongyan's eyes, he was completely transparent, and Sui Gongyan would never take care of Zhu Hao's study progress. The children were so fast that they hadn't had a conversation with Zhu Hao even after coming to class for a few days.

Zhu Hao said: "What are you looking at me for? Mr. Lu has only been away for a few days, and he probably hasn't left the Huguang area at this moment. If you want to come back...you have to wait."

Jinghong sighed softly: "When Mr. Lu was here, I didn't think that what he taught was very clever, and felt that it was not much different from what Zhu Hao taught. But now that Mr. Lu is not here, I feel that I am confused in class every day. If I continue to learn like this, I am afraid it will be difficult. Make progress."

Zhu San smiled and said, "Even Xiao Jingzi, you start talking about frustration? If you don't make progress, then play with me."

"Ah."

Jinghong made a strange sound and didn't want to talk to Zhu San.

Let me, a three-good student, be compared with you, a backward child, or a princess who does not need to take the imperial examination?Thank you for being able to speak.

Even if I, Little Jingzi, have no skills, I don't bother to be with you.

I just hate that Tang Yin is gone, and the way for me to catch up with Zhu Hao has become more and more difficult.

"Let's hang out for a few days. Don't be too anxious before the year, just study hard in the spring of the next year." Zhu Hao knew that some little guys might let him give lectures on the podium, so he hurriedly stated that he didn't want to overwhelm the host.

My relationship with Sui Gongyan is already very bad. If I continue to teach a few children on my own as before, will Sui Gongyan eat him alive?
Zhu Si murmured: "It's better to let Mr. Gongsun come back... I think Mr. Gongsun seems to teach better than Sui Jiaoxi."

Jinghong said: "That's because Mr. Gongsun's usual teaching methods are completely copied from Mr. Lu's teaching mode. There is no difference in essence... Well, I don't know why. In the past, I thought Mr. Sui's teaching method was not a problem. But now... everything is wrong."

Several children discussed and discussed, and they all felt that Sui Gong's words were not good, and Tang Yin was very powerful.

While packing his things, Zhu Hao said, "I guess Mr. Sui won't be back this morning. I'll go home for dinner first. If Mr. asks about it in the afternoon...help me take a leave of absence."

"What? Are you asking for leave? Zhu Hao, you can't do this... You are a person who has been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, but you are going to take the county test next year!"

Zhu San couldn't bear Zhu Hao's behavior of leaving them alone and running out to play alone, so he should be condemned and educated.

Zhu Sidao: "Forget it, sister, let Zhu Hao go if he has something to do. I heard from Mr. Yuan that with Zhu Hao's knowledge, let alone the county test, if he performs normally, he can directly take the exam."

"Bah! Do you feel good when you see him playing, but you learn here? If you think Mr. Sui is not good, then go tell your father. If you don't tell me, you are complaining here. I despise you!"

Zhu San saw that his younger brother did not support his point of view, so instead he taught him a lesson.

Zhu Si stuck out his tongue and ignored it.

……

……

Zhu Hao skipped class that day.

He wanted to see how Sui Gongyan would react.

Another point is that he does have something to do, which involves handing over a batch of goods to Su Xigui, and by the way, talk to him about the [-]% income from official salt sales that he had agreed to.

Just because Su Xigui gave a sum of gold and silver at the beginning of the year, you can't easily expose the matter.

Su Xigui was leaving soon, and this was the last time Zhu Hao negotiated with Su Xigui before he left Anlu.

It is estimated that there was this opportunity years ago.

I don't know when we will meet again next time.

When I saw Su Xigui, it was past noon, and Su Xigui was still inspecting the goods with the shopkeeper Ma, because Sanhe Zhongshu helped pass the wooden boxes one by one.

Telescopes, silver mirrors, and glasses are not big items, they belong to the category of "precision instruments", and a few people can complete the handover. However, in order to ensure that the money will not be snatched by criminals after the transaction is completed, Zhu Hao still brought some more people. Keep yourself safe.

"Oh, Master Zhu? What brought you here? Just let the people below do this kind of thing, you don't need to come here yourself."

Su Xigui was quite surprised to see Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Didn't Dongzhu Su come here by himself? Isn't it different for his subordinates to handle such trivial matters?"

Su Xigui laughed from ear to ear, and pointed at Zhu Hao, as if to say, you are really smart, we should have a good talk.

The two ignored procedures such as handover and verification of the goods, and went to the backyard of the store together. Su Xigui originally sat down on the stone bench, but probably felt that the stone bench was too cold, so he stood up quickly and asked his subordinates to bring two chairs over.

"There's nothing to entertain, tea or something... You don't care about the young master, do you?" Su Xigui asked after sitting down first.

Zhu Hao followed him and sat down opposite him, and he didn't play tricks. When he came up, he asked directly: "The business that Dongzhu Su is doing locally, have you finished?"

"What's the matter? After what you said, it seems like I'm doing something shameful in Anlu... It's just a small dispute in the business field, and I'm doing some business with Xingwang's mansion by the way..."

Su Xigui didn't hide it.

Zhu Hao sensed that Su Xigui was approaching Xingwang's mansion on purpose.

Before Su Xigui invited Tang Yin alone, although Tang Yin didn't elaborate on it afterwards, Zhu Hao knew that Su Xigui wanted to use Tang Yin as a springboard to get acquainted with people in the palace.

It is estimated that Tang Yin sold a favor and introduced Zhang Zuo, the chief steward of the palace, to him.

King Xing's Mansion needs food, grass, and supplies to be transferred to the north. Food and other things can be bought locally, but when it comes to military supplies, such as armor, banners, medicinal materials, etc., experienced merchants need to purchase them on their behalf. Su Xigui took the opportunity to hand over an olive branch to King Xing's Mansion.

Anyone who cares knows that there may be a real dragon in Prince Xing's Mansion, so can't Su Xigui and Huang Zan standing behind him see it?
You, Su Xigui, have stayed in Anlu for a long time, and Anlu is not a big place, so what can you miss?It's better to say that he came here to relax, rather than looking for an opportunity to get close to Xing Wang's mansion, paving a way for his brother-in-law and himself.

Zhu Hao said: "Since we are talking about business, Su Dongzhu, when we sold you the secret recipe of drying salt last year, we agreed that I would get [-]% of the profit, and I signed the contract at that time. I have no chance to tell you this year. This thing..."

Su Xigui was startled.

He would naturally think, if you kid really cared about that [-]% income, you should have told me a long time ago, and now you are saying it clearly to make it clear that you mean something else.

"Master Zhu, as you know, the secret recipe was presented to the imperial court by Master Huang in the end. Since the beginning of this year, various salt farms along the coast have been tested, and the effect is obvious, but because this year the imperial court wants to change the structure of the salt farms, turning the stalls that used to cook salt into terraced fields. Salt flats cost a lot of money, and the income has not increased significantly... Besides, the income of the imperial court is not yours, so how can I give you [-]% of it? I don’t sell salt."

Su Xigui is so shrewd, how could he be "blackmailed" by Zhu Hao?
I can do business with you, but I can't be taken advantage of by you kid!

"And... at the beginning of the year, I didn't give you a sum of money in order to thank you for providing the secret recipe? That's much more than [-]% of your income. In exchange... there are thousands of taels of silver. How much salt do you have to sell to get it?"

If Zhu Hao didn't understand Su Xigui's personality, after hearing this excuse, it would be reasonable and he wouldn't be able to find any faults.

Zhu Hao pretended to be wronged: "In this way, wouldn't we become a one-shot business? What will my family rely on to make ends meet in the future?"

Su Xigui's breath was not smooth, and saliva almost spewed out along with coughing.

You boy, Yueguang is doing the glass mirror business with me, and the income is hundreds of thousands of taels, and now you are crying poor in front of me?
