Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 42 I Really Came to Serve

However, Zhao Cheng did not leave. After thinking about it for a while, he said lamely: "Okay, old Chen, you are a bit interesting, and you have convinced me. I know that if you don't redeem it now, the house will belong to you after three months. When you want it again, you will double the price of the house to 60 Guan, right, because you know I will definitely buy it. In principle, I like your way of doing business, but I don't want others to take so much from me profit, so I still intend to redeem.”

Old Chen finally showed some expression, rolled his eyes, and slapped the redemption agreement on the table helplessly.

Zhao Cheng stopped writing, pressed his fingerprints, and returned the principal of thirty pennies plus some interest.I got my deed back.

"Are you still leaving?" the thug asked curiously.

Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "To put it simply, my mother won't be able to live safely if she can't see this house deed, so she has no interest in sleeping. But I need money. If you don't need this house deed as a mortgage, will you still lend me money?"

The thug and Lao Chen couldn't help but looked at each other.

Old Chen hesitated for a while, poof——

Instead of mortgaging the house deed, he took a picture of a simple loan agreement on the counter and handed it to Zhao Cheng's writing brush.

Zhao Cheng resolutely pressed his fingerprint on the agreement again, and the thug with a big waist returned the silver that he had just collected to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng said: "Official silver is not easy for ordinary people to use. Exchange it for me into copper coins and keep it here with you."

Lao Chen decisively took two more photos of the agreement and put them on the counter.

After looking at it, in addition to the storage fee, there is also a [-]% exchange fee.

Zhao Cheng muttered while pressing his fingerprints: "Old Chen, you will definitely be punished by God in the future, I thought you knew about it."

Old Chen rolled his eyes and remained silent. After signing the deposit, he withdrew the agreement and waved Zhao Cheng to leave.

After Zhao Cheng left, the big-armed thug frowned and said, "The shopkeeper is a little careless this time. He has a complicated relationship now, and he is involved with Liu Dutou. Loaning money to him without collateral is easy to lose money."

While reading the book, Old Chen said casually: "It is because of this that it is worth lending to him. It can be seen that his operation is a person with integrity, and the way a scammer operates is not like this. Even so, he made money from him. Before he made a mistake, he was The best customer, the old man thought you understood this truth. He survived a serious illness, worked on the construction site in a short period of time and made some money in a way. I heard that the county lords spoke highly of him. This On behalf of the old man's early judgment, it is worth continuing to invest in him. Dozens of coins are not money, but a person's integrity and good fortune."

The thug nodded and stopped talking...

Since getting back the deed, Chen Meiniang has become more secure, and the degree of ambiguity with Zhao Cheng is higher, so the income for the first two days is not bad, and it seems to be [-]% higher than usual.

However, on the third day, his aunt struck, and Zhao Cheng was suspended without pay.

Today continues to be sunny, and it is also the last day of river defense service.It took only half an hour in the morning to complete the defense of the dangerous section of the river, and it was officially closed.

As a result, the secretary who came from the county government signed the pen, and the laborers who participated in the service lined up in a long line, holding the completed documents and waiting to sign.

This is very important. To a certain extent, in addition to a certain amount of hard work, it also means that this group of people has completed their obligations to the country this year.In the future, if the county government has business again, unless it is a life-and-death emergency, it will not find this group of people, and will replace it with another group of people.

"Thank you, thank you for your service...thank you..."

As the chief engineer and militia chief of staff who personally led them to work, Zhao Cheng shook hands with everyone who got the signature in the headquarters.

The secretary who was signing the contract frowned several times and looked at Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng knew that what he meant was that he was disgusted with pretending to be coercive, and if he hated it, he hated it. Anyway, pretending to be tiring would not kill him.Song Jiang's Hubaoyi aura probably accumulated slowly in this way.

People come to work for free, although talking about it is useless, at least it makes people happy and has a sense of mission and honor.Not only is it not a bad thing to do so, it is also very useful for Zhao Cheng's first barrel of popularity accumulation.

More importantly, Zhao Cheng is already familiar with this group of people, and they are also familiar with Zhao Cheng's leadership model.Under the new labor mode, they have already developed some feeling and have a similar proficiency.This is very important, that is to say, if you need to spend a little money, you can gradually turn them into a professional engineering team.

Just like Zhao Cheng was selected as the leader of Liudu at that time, Zhao Cheng had interacted and worked with them for so long, and he probably knew that at least [-]% of the laborers this time would be qualified workers in Zhao Cheng's eyes.

This means that if Zhao Cheng needs it in the next step, they can get a job with relatively good income from Zhao Cheng.Even when Zhao Cheng's financial resources have a breakthrough, he will recruit these people as long-term workers if they don't do anything, and start training them with a stable salary.

The workers were dismissed, and the governor of the Gongwukou returned to the city with the roster of labor service completion.

Old Liu is like a general who has won a battle, leading Zhao Cheng along the river for the final quality inspection.

The more I watched, the more I was satisfied. For a while, Lao Liu was in a good mood, and he patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Sure enough, I didn't disappoint my brother. You are a very good person. From now on, you will work with me, Lao Liu, and I will eat for you , there will definitely be food for you.”

This guy is sincere, with fanaticism and longing in his eyes.

But Zhao Cheng smiled strangely, and said in his heart: You are so beautiful, even if I want to work, I will only work for the emperor, because the Jurchen savages will come in in more than ten years, and it is useless to work with you.

"Brother dei, what do you mean by smiling so weirdly?" Old Liu asked.

Zhao Cheng shook his head slightly, "Liu Tou, Scholar, I have officially completed my military service, and I have to leave now."

"Are you going to follow me or not? If you stop serving here, you won't have a daily wage subsidy of [-] Wen?" Liu Du stomped his feet anxiously.

Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "I have other better ways to make money. Liu Tou, I didn't come to the construction site to make money, but to serve in the military."

Old Liu looked at him in a daze as he left with Guijiaqi...

It was very early when I returned to the city, but it was not long before sunrise.

Guijiaoqidao: "Boss, you are going to the academy, right?"

Zhao Cheng nodded, "You're going to listen to the Three Kingdoms, right? Why do you like listening to it so much? I give you ten coins a day, and you spend at least five in the tea house, right?"

Guijiaoqi scratched his head and said: "Listening to the Three Kingdoms is not popular now, and I don't go to Yizhong Teahouse anymore, I go to the north side of the city instead. Heshun Teahouse is telling horror stories recently, which is very attractive, and many people listen to it. It’s full every day, tea customers can’t sit down, and the nearby streets have taken up a lot.”

Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Now I don't want to go to the academy anymore, take me to listen to the so-called horror stories."

"That's good." Guijiaoqi hurriedly led the way...
