Houmen's concubine

Chapter 155 Buying a Shop

"Master, the shops on Jingyu Street are very expensive, and it will probably cost a lot of money to buy them."

What Xu Jinshen meant was to either rent a shop first, or go to other streets to see if there were any suitable ones.

"Just buy a shop on Jingyu Street, or buy two connected shops if one is too small."

Wang Tong'er's idea is to wait for the signboard of her bookstore to be publicized, and after she has a business, she can buy shops and open chain stores in other streets that are not too prosperous.

Seeing what Wang Tong'er said, Xu Jinshen knew that the young master must be the shop on Jingyu Street.

So, he nodded and said: "That's okay, I will go to search with my junior brother tomorrow, and if we find a shop we like, we will buy it right away."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. You can figure it out. You don't need to come back and tell me."

Wang Tong'er's meaning is obvious: I can rest assured that you will handle the matter.

Nanny Xu was relieved to see the young master getting along well with his son, master and servant.

I didn't expect to pick up a girl on the way, and she is a good master who is rare in the world!

Not only is he beautiful and kind-hearted, but he is also very smart!

How did Madam Xu see how satisfied Wang Tong'er was.

"Oh, master," Ji Yu thought of something, and said to Wang Tong'er in a hurry, "I have been following the two old men next door for the past few days, and I saw that they were either going to the seaside salt field or the 'Tongda Firm' of the salt merchant Zhu's house. It seems to be doing salt business with his family.”

Ji Yu didn't dare to follow closely. The reason was of course that the two big bosses were not only surrounded by guards with high martial arts skills, but also had unfathomable hidden guards hidden in the crowd.

In fact, Xie Yuheng already knew about it when Ji Yu followed him on the first day.

This is because he is the person next to Wang Tonger, otherwise, he would have been quietly disposed of by the hidden guards long ago.

How could he be allowed to follow them for a few days?

"Eh?"

Aren't they here to punish corrupt officials?
This Qinzhou is a state city with plenty of oil and water!

Isn’t it written in the books that most of the emperor’s private visits in micro-services are to punish rape and eliminate evil for the people, the same as the film and television drama "Private Interviews in Kangxi Micro-services"?Finally, there is another scene where a beautiful woman throws herself into her arms.

Haha, when I return to the capital: I love beauty more than Jiang Shan...

Oh, Zhuan Xi also understood after thinking about it.

Ancient times are not modern times. For modern people, salt is the least valuable kitchen condiment of ordinary people.

Ancient salt is a valuable thing.

It was Guan Zhong who started the salt administration in history.

Historically, if the feudal dynasties wanted to make a fortune, they had to control the salt administration. Only the government was allowed to sell salt, and the common people were only allowed to produce salt, and they were not allowed to sell it privately.

And salt is a must for the common people, so the rulers of the feudal dynasty easily obtained the greatest wealth through the salt administration.

Therefore, in the feudal dynasty, more than half of the country's fiscal revenue came from the salt tax.

The government also united with local gentry and businessmen to take advantage of the price of salt, plunder, and search for the people's fat and anointment, making it difficult to eradicate the corruption of the feudal dynasty.

Therefore, to control salt, selling salt in ancient times had a similar punishment to drug trafficking in modern times, exile or capital punishment, because it touched a lot of interests.

Wang Tong'er's mind froze: Could it be that the emperor's private visit in his micro-service came for the sake of salt?

Zhu's natal family is the largest salt merchant in Qinzhou and the richest man in Qinzhou.

From the looks of it, Zhu's natal family doesn't know what's wrong or what's going on?

······
Qin Baozhen moved to the dormitory that night to go to bed. Before going to bed, he asked Li Zhong to take out the small red sandalwood box locked in the cupboard.

Qin Baozhen waved to Li Zhong and the other two servant girls who made the bed, letting them go out.

When you see the letters in the red sandalwood box, you will think about people when you see things!

In an instant, tears flowed down like threads.

My heart is also sore...  

In the end it was I who lost her, in the end it was I who broke my promise with her, in the end it was I who was ashamed to be with her...

From then on, it can only become a memory, and there will be no day of seeing each other again!
The letter in my hand is the first thick letter sent by Xiao'e when I first came to Qinzhou in 18. It is full of the girl's shy lovesickness and deep love.

It's a pity, at that time, I only cared about the business at home, how could I care about her affection?
At first, when Xiao'e sent letters, she still had to answer every letter.

Afterwards, Xiao'e sent two or three letters, but she only replied to one letter at most.

From pregnancy to childbirth, to her son's full moon to his first birthday, she has been looking forward to going back to see her and her son.

Gradually, it is estimated that she was disappointed in herself, and the letters did not arrive frequently.

Only then did Qin Baozhen realize that Xiao'e didn't seem to have written a letter to herself in recent years?

There was only one letter sent by the son before his arrival.

The letters in the past few years have all been sent by the housekeeper Miao in his hometown, and by the way, he sent the family's income and expenses to himself.

Qin Baozhen blamed himself while reading Yu Xiaoe's letter, laughing and crying for a while.

However, I did not forget the business, and found the date of my son's birthday in the letter.

It's dangerous!
I almost missed my son's birthday, and there were only three days left.

It's okay, I will ask the housekeeper to send posts to the homes of close friends starting tomorrow.

I have been ashamed of her mother, so I have to double compensate my son!
Early this morning, Xiao Cong bowed and said to Wang Tong'er who had just woken up: "Master, did the master send someone over to ask you to go to Ruyi Courtyard? He said he was discussing with you, Master, about holding a birthday banquet for you."

"What? Daddy is going to hold a birthday party for me?" Wang Tong'er was quite surprised when she heard Xiao Cong talking about it.

cough!Isn't it a birthday party for the seventies and eighties?

She remembered that there was a coming-of-age ceremony at home, and the rest of Xian's birthday was just a family gathering for a meal.

Birthday ppts are rarely held.

The reason is that my birthday is April 4st, ha ha!

But now it's a birthday party...

Regardless of Wang Tong'er's character, she still wouldn't do such a thing.

When I arrived at Ruyiyuan, I heard Qin Baozhen say: "Son, you haven't started to take over the Qin family's business yet, so you don't know the importance of connections."

However, Qin Baozhen was right to think about it. When she first arrived in Qinzhou, it meant that she would take over the Qin family's property in the future, and her personal connections should not be ignored. This time it was said to be a celebration, but it was also for Wang Tonger to say hello to these people seriously.

The last spring banquet was just the contact and interaction of a few boys and girls.

How can there be so many guests for a birthday banquet?

Most of these guests were prominent figures in Qinzhou City.

Now that she has just won the No. 1 tea fighting competition and the appreciation of Ning Zhifu, she must strike while the iron is on!
"Besides, there are two distinguished guests from the capital at home, so let's take this opportunity to establish a good relationship with them, shall we?"

Qin Baogui held the principle of multiple ways to do things well, and gave her a detailed count of the many benefits of holding a birthday party. Wang Tonger heard it, and it should be "just to curry favor" while taking the opportunity.

　To talk about getting rich, start with buying a shop.
