Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 164

It would take half a month to spread the imperial decree from the capital and rush to the North Ridge.And what they have to do is to wipe out the royal court of the Huns within half a month, let their fear of the Great Zhou be engraved in their bones, and it will be difficult to become a climate within a hundred years.

After the guards around him retreated in response, Prince Rui lowered his eyes and began to think deeply.Now, he is waiting for Zhang Mantun and General Mu to intercept and kill the Xiongnu. If things go well, in a few days, he will be able to attack the Tahe area.
And Tahe is the last foundation of the Huns.

In Taoshuwan, Zhang Ji has been rushing to make tea and eat overnight these days, because Lin Baozhu took away too much for Xu San and the others last time, and now some shops in the county can't supply it.

Originally, they didn't expect that opening a shop in the county would be so smooth. Zhou Ji even cooperated with several grocery stores to cut prices, and found some gangsters to make trouble.

But he didn't want to wait until the day when Zhang Ji opened, not only the magistrate of the county came to visit in person, but even Yao Sanye from the black and white cities who had mixed up in the county also went in person, and even ordered 300 taels of food for him with a big wave of his hand. Send it to the hall.

To say that the arrival of the county magistrate has already taken people by surprise, and made many people who were planning to make things difficult for Zhang Ji regress.Then Yao Sanye's appearance and his respectful attitude towards Lin Baozhu's daughter-in-law's family made people retreat even more.Not to mention the gangsters with their families, even those hooligans who sneak around all day and have no family members dare not show up to find trouble.

Why?Naturally, it was because of Mr. Yao, who didn't know that in Taoxi County and even Northern Qi Prefecture, Mr. Yao could make people destroy the bandits on the road by stomping their feet.

With the backing of Yao Jiatang, who would dare to provoke Zhang Ji?Don't die!

In fact, not only the big guys were surprised, but Lin Baozhu herself was at a loss.When did my man know such a character?Don't say she doesn't believe it, no one can think of who it is.

At the beginning, that man spent a lot of thought on borrowing 500 taels of silver. If he really knew Mr. Yao, he would have given him 300 taels of silver. How could it be so embarrassing?
But if you don't do Yao Sanye's business, it's not justified, after all, people spend money to buy food, and the money and the goods are equal.Moreover, Mr. Yao did not have a relationship with her, he just showed his face to buy some snacks in person and said a few polite words to her.

She couldn't figure it out, so she simply didn't want to think about it. The man of the left and right family was coming back soon.

Zhang Ji's shop in the county was opened, but seeing the business was booming day by day, Lin Baozhu discussed with shopkeeper Li to see if he could find a place nearby to set up another workshop.Of course, like Anping Town, the workshop is not only for making food, but also for making tea.

In fact, it is not difficult to find a place to open a workshop, the difficulty lies in the hands of the people.It doesn't matter if you rent a yard or buy a place, the tools and tools will need to be repurchased.Second, when I set up a workshop in Anping Town before, I had transferred a lot of people from Taoshuwan. If I send people to the county, I am afraid that the workshop work in the village will not be able to continue.But if you want to recruit people near the county town, it's one thing to be unfamiliar with the place, and the character and morality of the people you recruit can't be guaranteed.

Because of so many difficulties, the matter of opening a workshop in the county has been temporarily delayed.But just when Lin Baozhu felt a little regretful, shopkeeper Li sent someone to bring news that a merchant who came to pick up the goods said that there was a workshop going west from the county town not far from the city.

The workshop used to be used for brewing wine. There are many large pots for steaming grain in the workshop. The stove and the room for storing wine are just suitable for frying greens and cool greens.

"Ma'am, I took a detour to see it before I came here. I said it was a wine-making workshop, but what I said was not accurate." Seeing the owner of the shopkeeper Li's heart, he seemed to take the news very seriously, and then said with a smile, "It's also because of our luck that we just got this news. The tea house that was originally used to make tea before Zhou Ji was managed by the eldest son of his family. In the operation, the good workshop was emptied out after coming and going, and because of the gambling debts, it had to be cashed out. Later, the owner wanted to follow the style of Beiquan brewing, so that he could make money by making wine, but unfortunately the craftsmanship was not good. , I was tired after only three or five years, so I thought about letting go."

When Lin Baozhu heard this, her eyes lit up instantly, obviously knowing the importance of this workshop to herself.If it is true as shopkeeper Li said, it will be a great thing for Zhang Ji.

After all, if the guys inside don't even need to be reset, as long as the manpower is in place, they can start working the next day.

Thinking of this, Lin Baozhu didn't dare to delay any longer, she just said to clean up, and went along with shopkeeper Li to have a look.Of course, the two of them had to agree in advance, so as to save the workshop, and then run into the skyrocketing price.

At noon that day, Lin Baozhu took Da Ya and shopkeeper Li and drove the car to the village west of the county seat.It is said that it is a village, but it is only half a quarter of an hour away from the county seat, and it does not take much time to walk.

Looking at the distance and location, Lin Baozhu was secretly satisfied.Entering the workshop, I saw many people gathered around the door of the room in the backyard, and a middle-aged old man in a blue-gray cloth jacket was explaining something anxiously.It's a pity that there were too many people making noise, which overwhelmed his voice.

Lin Baozhu saw that the scene was chaotic, and Da Ya was also holding the corner of her clothes tightly in fear, so she didn't dare to move forward at the moment.If she is alone, she doesn't need to care about it, but the most important thing now is to worry about Da Ya's emotions.

She explained a few words to shopkeeper Li in a low voice, then pulled Da Ya back to the door of the workshop.But shopkeeper Li got the boss's explanation, so he naturally stepped forward to inquire a few words according to the words.

It took only a cup of tea before Manager Li came out, and when he saw Lin Baozhu, he seemed to be overjoyed.

"Ma'am, this is a happy event for us. The owner of this workshop is eager to sell the workshop because the family is short of money and still owes the wages for the work. I just listened to the management of the workshop. The old man said, as long as we want it sincerely, we can pay it to us at a low price." At this point, the joy on Li's shopkeeper's face diminished a lot. The workshop can arrange for the workers who used to work here, and they will settle the wages in arrears, but if it is possible, we hope that we can keep those people to work."

Lin Baozhu thought for a while, brewing needs to select and steam the grain, and many of the tasks are similar to tea making.If you want to keep those working guys, it’s not impossible, but everything needs to have a regulation. She admires the kindness of the owner of this workshop and knows how to find a way for the guys to survive, but that doesn’t mean She wants to lose money.

"Please trouble shopkeeper Li to go there again and discuss it with those who can make the decision. We will naturally sit down and talk about the business. If we can reach an agreement and set up a charter, if we can't, it can be regarded as friendship."

Shopkeeper Li took the boss's words seriously, and saw Lin Baozhu, the wife of the boss, with a calm face, and she didn't have the slightest intention of secretly delighting or taking advantage of the fire.At the moment, my heart is more respectful.

In contrast, the two seem to be impetuous.Thinking of this lady's usual behavior, which time is she not generous and decent?Even those scholars whose eyes are higher than the top on the second floor of Zhang Ji will praise his wife for having both ability and political integrity.

For some reason, shopkeeper Li, who had been a shopkeeper all his life, felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart at this moment.The owner is capable, and Zhang Ji's tea and snacks are excellent and unimitable. Maybe following Zhang Ji, he can really achieve a position that he could not even imagine before.

You know, he has been a shopkeeper all his life, and what he admires most is the big shopkeeper of Beiquan Niang.It wasn't that Beiquan Niang was famous all over the world that made him extremely rich, but the shopkeeper's insightful eyes, when Beiquan Niang was still a mere miscellaneous wine, he was willing to put down the shop that had been running for many years and concentrate on operating Beiquan Niang.Now, that shopkeeper has become a very popular figure among the merchants, and many people even want to have a relationship with that shopkeeper.

He originally thought that it would be enough for him to return to Anping Town without worrying about food and clothing in this life, and live a happy life.But as Zhang Ji's business grew bigger and bigger, and now he wants to open a workshop in the county to compete with many well-established people, his heart also began to have ripples.

No matter what, seeing Lin Baozhu's calm expression, he seemed to be calculating.Shopkeeper Li stopped talking, turned around and entered the workshop again.

After a while, shopkeeper Li came out with a servant, and led by the servant, he opened the back door and entered the courtyard.At this time, Lin Baozhu really met the owner of the workshop.

"Since Ma'am came here sincerely, I won't waste time talking about falsehoods. This workshop can't be regarded as making money, but it can also bring in some income. After all, even in the county town, there are some poor people who want to buy drinks to entertain guests or For personal use, there is also spirits sent to the pharmacy to make herbal medicine. It’s just that some time ago, the liquor mind of the workshop left, and no one could control the alcohol for a while. In addition, the mother at home was seriously ill, even if I’ve exhausted all my savings and failed to make my mother better. The doctor in the county said that maybe there is a famous doctor in the capital who can treat me, so I thought of selling it in a hurry in exchange for cash.”

The man who spoke was only in his early thirties. Although he looked gentle and well-organized, he didn't look like a sloppy person, but now he looked like he was hunched over, and his whole body was full of embarrassment and vicissitudes.

Lin Baozhu is not a man of gods, he can tell good and evil people with a single glance, but looking at this man's eyes are red and bloodshot.Recalling what he just heard, he obviously needs money urgently, but he still has to worry about the workshop guys who work with him. Such a person is not a big treacherous person.
