Chapter 21
"Look at the horse prepared for you, do you like it?"

As soon as Su Zijin followed his grandfather out of the mansion, he saw a steed had been pulled over by the housekeeper and was waiting at the door.

Su Zijin has practiced riding and archery for half a year. Naturally, he likes BMW very much. The handsome horse in front of him has a slender neck, well-developed muscles, smooth and shiny hair, and shines like silk in the sun. Seeing joy, he looked at his grandfather beside him.

"That's a nice horse. Does it have a name?"

Chang Qingzhou shook his head, "No, I'm waiting for you to give me a good name."

Su Zijin nodded happily, "This horse's fur is black and shiny, but its hooves are white. Its eyes are clear and proud, as if it knows that it is very handsome. Facing such a proud horse, you have to use a name to suppress it arrogance, then call it Xiaobai."

With a "Puff", someone nearby laughed out loud when they heard Su Zijin's words.

Su Zijin looked at his grandfather, and they both looked at the laughing woman beside him.

"Ann, Mrs. Chang, I'm sorry, I didn't hold back my laughter just now. Is this your granddaughter from Kyoto? It's really interesting."

A girl in a yellow shirt, with snow-white skin, black hair, and bright almond eyes, is amiable. Although she is not the top beauties Su Zijin has ever seen, she is also one of the best.

The charming girl is full of smiles, and is kind and thoughtful, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"It's Baozhu, do you want to go out early in the morning?"

Miss Baozhu smiled, "Old Master Chang, there is a banquet in the other courtyard of the Zhou family today, and some of us girls made an appointment to go out of the city to have fun. I didn't know that Miss Foreigner would come over in advance, otherwise, I would post a message to Miss Foreigner no matter what. .”

Chang Qingzhou waved his hand, "You girls can talk, our family is like a monkey, so I won't bother you. Zijin, let's go when we see Miss Xue. Shopkeeper Shen has been waiting for a long time."

Su Zijin bowed his hands to Xue Baozhu, "I met Miss Xue, we have a chance some other day, let's talk in detail, I have something to do today, let's go first."

"Miss Su."

Xue Baozhu bowed slightly in return.

After the two greeted each other, Su Zijin got on his horse and followed his grandfather's carriage to Deyue Tower in the city.They made an appointment with Shopkeeper Shen at Deyue Tower.

Walk out of the street where the Chang family's mansion is located, and turn around to see the lively street.Su Zijin rode a horse and followed the sedan chair. Looking at the pedestrians, street vendors, and shops on both sides, he felt that the bustle here was different from that in Kyoto. many.

At this time, Bichang Qingzhou seemed to know what Su Zijin was thinking. He raised the curtain of the sedan chair and said to Su Zijin, "Shu County has been prosperous since ancient times. It is rare to enter Shu and not see Sichuan. This is our place. The land here is rich and the products are rich. Rich, unlike other places where men are expected to do heavy work, here, no matter men or women, as long as they are diligent, they will not starve to death. So, look on the street, men and women are on the road, open and frank If you don’t say anything, you will ask for whoever you want. So you should be careful when you go to see the shopkeeper Shen. If he is the shopkeeper, he has the ability. And those who have the ability are high-spirited, and they only obey those who have the ability. Don't put on airs of the boss's family, this may work in Kyoto, but it won't work in Jinguan City."

Su Zijin was dumbfounded by her grandfather's sudden instruction. Where did she put on airs? She was always easy-going, okay?

"It's ~ grandfather."

Su Zijin replied perfunctorily. She accepts kind reminders from others, but she doesn't like to be pointed out by others.

Seeing his granddaughter's lazy appearance, Chang Qingzhou lowered the curtain and snickered in the carriage.

"This is the southwest shopkeeper of our Chang family, Shen Shixi shopkeeper Shen. Shopkeeper Shen, this is the next successor of our Chang family, my granddaughter Su Zijin."

Shopkeeper Shen, who was thin but with a straight back, smiled kindly when he heard the words, "Please be safe, Young Master."

Su Zijin returned the salute, "I have met shopkeeper Shen."

"Stop standing, we are all from my family, sit down." Chang Qingzhou took his seat first, Su Zijin and Shopkeeper Shen stretched out their hands to ask each other to sit down, and then took their seats.

"It's still early, and the private rooms in Deyuelou are pretty clean right now. Shopkeeper Shen, first tell Zijin about the business in the Southwest, and if you have anything to do in the future, just report to her. Chang's business, I leave it to Zijin."

"Boss, why don't you think about it again? The young master looks smart, but after all, he has never been exposed to this aspect. You should take her by the hand for a while."

Shopkeeper Shen spoke unhurriedly, and the same was true for persuading people, as if he was impatient and didn't seem to care very much.

Chang Qingzhou waved his hand, "I'm almost sixty years old, don't wait, I will stay with her in Jinguan City for a while, after a few months, my wife and I will go to Kyoto. We will meet at the end of the year I will hand it over to Zijin to preside over it with you."

Shopkeeper Shen's gentle expression finally showed a trace of worry.

He didn't know that his boss was so impatient, and Su Zijin also wondered, "Grandfather, are you not afraid that the underlings will fool me? So that our Chang family's business will collapse and become a king on its own?"

Chang Qingzhou chuckled, "It's not that easy. The shopkeepers here are all selected by your grandfather and me. They are all old men who fought together. They are all bright-minded, old, treacherous, and cunning. , They understand very well. As long as you are not an idiot who can't read a single word and knows simple calculations, they won't try to fool you. According to your father's letter, your father said that you have no talent for poetry and singing. Counting one item is not satisfactory at all, and that is enough."

When the grandfather said this, Su Zijin could only nod, "Well, you will leave it to me yourself. If there is anything going on in the future, don't feel bad."

The old man simply waved his hand, "It's okay, something happened to the handover account, it's my subordinate's fault, it has nothing to do with you. And..."

"And what?"

"Whether to betray or not is of course important, but don't take it too seriously. The business belongs to our Chang family. If someone betrays, just replace it. Don't use this to test others and hurt yourself."

Hearing what his grandfather said, Su Zijin was a little confused, but still nodded, "That's good, then I'll take it."

The grandparents and grandchildren talked lively, and Shen Shixi next to him smiled wryly and shook his head, wondering if these two are shaking the mountain?He still didn't let others out of himself, and just talked privately in front of himself.

"Miss, let me tell you a few items of Southwest business first, so you can get a general idea first."

As Shen Shixi said, Su Zijin nodded, "Say it."

"The business of our Chang family all started from the tea mountain. Later, there were gradually tea houses, caravans for transportation, and escort agencies. There were only three tea houses in Jinguan City, and there were three tea houses in the surrounding area at the foot of the tea mountain. Generally speaking, in the southwest, there are three tea mountains, six tea estates, one caravan, and one security agency. The annual output is dominated by tea estates, followed by caravans and security agencies. Compared with other businesses, it’s just not a loss or a profit. After all, the owner is kind and pays the tea farmers a lot of money. This is our basic business, and there are several other shops and stores. The paddy fields and mountains are leased to others for rent. This is paid every year. It is a fixed number, and it is not within the scope of Southwest Business's year-end accounting."

Su Zijin nodded, "It's meaningless to just listen. Shopkeeper Shen, please bring over the account books of this year and previous years. I'll take a look at the books first. After I have a basic idea, I will ask Shopkeeper Shen to take a look at it on the spot. Always do it in your heart." There are many."

Shopkeeper Shen nodded, "Okay, Young Master, when I go back and tidy up, I'll send it to your home tomorrow."

"Okay, you guys know each other today. After eating some snacks, I'll take you around a few shops in the city. We'll look at the shops in the city first, and then we'll go to the tea mountains outside the city."

From what his grandfather Chang Qingzhou explained to him yesterday, he could tell that he was a neat and straightforward person.Seeing that the two agreed, they are going to take Su Zijin out to check.

The shopkeeper Su Zijin stood up, "Let's go, let's go around first."
